As Chinese New Year's Eve gradually approaches, Wuchang City has also begun to put up lights, preparing to celebrate the rare festive days of the year, compared to the past two years, this year's Wuchang City can finally spend a big year with peace of mind.

Three days before Chinese New Year's Eve, Ning Zhongyuan said that in order to reward everyone for their hard work for a year, a special banquet was held, and this banquet will invite the middle and high-level of the various systems of the current Fu Han Army, such as the Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council, and the Ministry of Supervision, as well as officers above the regimental level in the army will also participate in this banquet.

Speaking of which, this meeting of the East Lake is naturally not a simple banquet, but a gathering that Ning Zhongyuan has been planning for a long time, the purpose is to completely lay the foundation for the restoration of the Han army in the coming year at this meeting, of course, the most important of which is to determine the enthronement of Ning Yu, and to implement this matter in the hearts of the people.

The banquet site is located on a vacant lot on the shore of the East Lake, a high platform has been established here, although it is not luxurious, but it is quite large, many tables and chairs have been placed on it, which can accommodate thousands of people at the same time, and it looks very powerful, and there are two big characters written on the stage - Luojia.

Although it was not yet time to set the rule, many people had already arrived at the high platform, either in groups or alone, all smiling and enjoying the taste of victory.

Yes, the war has reached this point, and a country has been fought, and it is time to enjoy it.

In their hearts, they may think that they are some kind of famous generals and ministers, and they are full of thinking that this iron-clad country is something they gnaw down little by little - but in Ning Yu's view, the value of the vast majority of people here has not reached the point of irreplaceability, after all, most of the battles are fought by Ning Yu and others, coupled with the equipment and tactics of the Fu Han Army itself, it is also a crushing state for the Qing army, so there is no need for the generals to be strong.

"Luojia? What does this mean? ”

Among the people who came to the meeting, most of them had also read poetry and books, but when they saw the big word 'Luojia' on the stage, they quoted scriptures one after another, but among the past allusions, there was indeed no allusion to 'Luojia', which was a little puzzling.

Of course, this is a literary thing, there will also be special people to come out, the champion Peng Qifeng walked as the chamber of the Chu Palace, and now he is about to end his political career, so he is also qualified to participate in this banquet, and has also been valued by many people, and they can't help but look at Peng Qifeng.

Peng Qifeng came this time, and a few friends gathered around him, seeing that everyone wanted him to solve his doubts, he was not to be outdone at the moment, so he took a closer look and pondered carefully, but after thinking for a long time, he finally shook his head and sighed.

"The one who is the one who is the one who Jia, headdress also. This Luojia does not appear in the allusions, but I know that we are here at the foot of Luojia Mountain, could it be that 'Luojia' was changed to 'Luojia'?

"Brother Hanwen is really talented, and the younger brother is really impressed."

A clear voice came, but it aroused everyone's curiosity, so they looked at where they came from, but saw a young man walking over quickly, it was Wu Jingzi, who was in the top three with Peng Qifeng.

Peng Qifeng glanced at the high-spirited Wu Jingzi, and couldn't help but feel a little more envious in his heart, although he is the top talent, and now he is also in an important position, but compared with Wu Jingzi, it is not so important, because everyone in the court knows that Wu Jingzi was personally asked by Ning Yu to pass, and the meaning of this represents naturally makes Peng Qifeng a little envious.

Who doesn't know that after the Fu Han army establishes a country, Ning Yu will be a proper prince? In the future, he will be a proper emperor, and the people around Ning Yu will naturally be able to ascend to heaven.

Of course, at this time, Peng Qifeng didn't know that Ning Yu was about to ascend the throne, he enthusiastically took Wu Jingzi's hand and introduced to the surrounding scholars: "Everyone, this is Wu Minxuan, who is scared to death, of course, his literary talent also makes me admire." ”

Wu Jingzi smiled slightly, and after saluting each other with the surrounding scholars, he looked at the word 'Luojia' on the stage, and said with a smile: "What Brother Hanwen said is true, this 'Luojia' is not from allusions, in fact, the 'Luo family' was changed to 'Luojia', and the arm in it came from the Metropolitan Governor. ”

Hearing Wu Jingzi mention Ningyu, everyone was in unison at the moment, some people praised this change as almost a bit of a stone-to-jade wonder, turning the cheesy 'Luo family' into an extraordinary 'Luojia', and some people thought that this Luojia Mountain sounded much more elegant and refined, and it was a matter of course to hold a grand event here.

It was quite lively under the conversation of everyone, but it was not only these literati and scholars who were coquettish here, but the generals of the Fu Han Army were also majestic and high-spirited, like Dong Ce, Xu Chengliang, Li Shihu and others almost led all the limelight, and they were also extremely eye-catching in the crowd.

Beside Li Shihu, there was also a young man with a black cloth covering his right eye, it was Hao Zhao who attacked the head of Jiangning City in World War I, but due to the war, his right eye was also completely blinded, and he was personally rewarded by Ning Yu and learned from Ning Zhongyuan, which can be regarded as earning a lot of credit for himself.

For this reason, Hao Zhao was also recognized by Ning Zuyi, the commander of the Praetorian Guard Division, and was directly promoted to the newly formed Praetorian Guard Division.

In this conference, the Praetorian Guard is responsible for all aspects of security, but because of Hao Zhao's current identity, he doesn't have to keep an eye on it personally, so he also accompanies several old bosses who have just arrived in Wuchang to talk together.

Xu Chengliang glanced at Hao Zhao with slightly squinted eyes, and snorted: "Why doesn't the second division have a talent like you?" If it weren't for Lao Ning's quick start, Lao Tzu would probably have to ask the Metropolitan Governor for you! ”

Dong Ce smiled and said loudly: "Xu Chengliang, your second division is now shouldering the heavy responsibility of the northwest, and Hao Zhao is afraid that he has wasted talents in the past......" After finishing speaking, the group of ** people couldn't stop laughing.

Of course, Xu Chengliang knew that his old opponent would not let go of the opportunity to ridicule him, so he had to say helplessly: "Do you think Lao Tzu is willing...... You don't know what Qianyao was that year, when he was still fighting, he couldn't hold out, our task at that time was to hold on, and we were not allowed to expand the front at will, so we let go of that old boy......"

"But I didn't expect it, then this old boy went directly to Qinghai-Tibet, this time it's good, we don't have a chance to fight him...... can only wait for the right time, the governor of the capital gave an order, and Lao Tzu cut off Nian Qianyao's dog's head! ”

Coincidentally, in addition to fighting a big battle in Changsha, the second division did not have many opportunities to participate in the war at other times, as the main division has been repeatedly entangled with the Qing army in Yunyang Mansion, but when I saw the other two main divisions fighting in Jiangnan, I couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Ning Zhongyi, the commander of the second division at the beginning, no longer served as the commander of the second division after the reorganization of the army, and was replaced by deputy division commander Xu Chengliang, and he and Dong Ce both rose to the position of division commander, but Dong Ce later came to the Dadu Governor's Mansion as the chief of staff, relatively speaking, he was one step ahead of Xu Chengliang.

When everyone was noisy, a team of palace guards walked into the venue, followed by Ning Zhongyuan, Ning Yu, Cheng Yuanzhi, Zheng Xian, Cui Wancai and others, who came over together.

After Ning Zhongyuan sat on the main seat on the stage, Ning Yu and the others sat down in two factions, and the others also sat in their seats, and these thousands of people became the core force of the current Fu Han army.

"Up!"

With an order, everyone stood up, and the red official clothes instantly turned into a wave, and they looked at Ning Zhongyuan with glasses in their hands, with a bit of fanaticism in their eyes.

"Congratulations to the king of Chu! Long live the King of Chu, long live, long live! ”

Bursts of shouts swept like a wave, and in everyone's hearts, the Fu Han Army was a legend in which they personally participated, a legend that swept the southern provinces, and a legend that overturned the heyday of the Qing Dynasty.

In this legend, of course, there is the invincible Ning Yu Ning Metropolitan Governor, but the more important thing is Ning Zhongyuan, without him taking the lead in leading everyone on this road, many people would not have become what they are today, so this Long live King of Chu really shouted sincerely.

Especially for the orphans from the Eagle Battalion, they are unforgettable for everything given by the Ning family and the Fu Han Army, especially Dong Ce and Xu Chengliang, they almost remembered the days in the temple at the same time, if there was no Ning Yu to stretch out his hand, I am afraid that many of them would starve to death.

Because of this, their loyalty to Ning Yu and the Ning family is almost the highest group, in Dong Ce's words, no matter whether everyone is the division commander or the regiment leader, they are all the house slaves of the Ning family and the house slaves of Ning Yu, they will not feel ashamed because of this identity, they will only feel endless glory.

Ning Zhongyuan looked at the audience and was extremely excited, although he didn't drink much, he still felt a dizziness, it was an intoxicating taste, maybe this is what it feels like to be the emperor, and the whole world trembled when he gave an order.

"This world is lonely, but it's also yours!"

Ning Zhongyuan glanced around at everyone, drank all the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and everyone was moved by Ning Zhongyuan's pride, and drank the wine in the bowl one after another, shouting Long live, and the sound shook for miles.

A series of fine drums sounded, dozens of heavily armored soldiers of the Fu Han Army came out with swords in their hands, they danced swords with the sound of drums on the high platform, the cold light was cold, but it was full of infinite pride, and everyone applauded in unison.

Ning Yu looked at the sword-dancing warriors in the audience with a smile on his face, but he was also interested in his heart, so he said loudly in unison: "Enlighten the father, the child is willing to present a sword dance for the father." ”

When everyone heard that the Metropolitan Governor was going to make the sword dance in person, they were all excited at the moment, and Ning Zhongyuan also laughed, "Wu'er Sword Dance, it should be the grand ceremony of today's meeting!" ”

Ning Yu got up and drew his sword, walked to the middle of the samurai, and danced at a glance, after all, he was taught by a famous master since he was a child, and he saw a long sword flying up and down in his hand, and the action did not have much beauty, but it was better than the extraordinary momentum, but it also made everyone look at it intently.

All the monarchs and ministers danced on the stage to show their pride, but Zheng Xian, who was sitting on the side, felt a little flustered, he glanced at Ning Zhongyuan, but the other party did not look at him, and then glanced at Cheng Yuanzhi who was sitting on the side, but the latter smiled at him, with a bit of deep meaning in his expression.

"Zhizhai, when you advocated righteousness in Wuchang City that day, you were as restless as you are today.....

After a long time, Cheng Yuanzhi slowly spit out a sentence, he really didn't want to see the Zheng family completely fall at this critical time, which was not a good thing for the Ning family and the Cheng family.

When Zheng Xian heard this, he was shocked, of course he would not think that this sentence was said casually by Cheng Yuanzhi, when Ning Zhongyuan raised troops against the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Xian had also wavered, but after all, he was a grasshopper on a rope, and he really couldn't change the relationship, so he had to follow the Ning family head-on, and Cheng Yuanzhi had reminded him at that time.

Therefore, now that he heard Cheng Yuanzhi say this, Zheng Xian understood in his heart, the current situation is somewhat the same as that day, if he is willing to follow the Ning family, then it will naturally be safe and sound, if he has a few different thoughts in his heart, the Cheng family will not help him at that time.

"Old lady Cheng, my Zheng family is also to blame for coming to this point, but I also ask Mrs. Cheng to take care of it in the future......

Zheng Xian's expression was a little bitter, he naturally understood what the current trend was, but it was precisely because he understood this general trend that he felt resistant.

Cheng Yuanzhi glanced at Ning Yu, who was dancing with a sword, and said with a smile: "My good grandson is very good, but there is only one thing that is bad, that is, he is too kind to people." Zhizhai, if it weren't for him, your Zheng family wouldn't be what it is now....."

Zheng Xian's heart sank, he let out a long sigh, and said no more.

When everyone was celebrating, Wuchang City ushered in martial law again, Ning Zhongyi, the privy deputy envoy who had never appeared, and Ning Zuyi, the commander of the Praetorian Guard Division, wore iron armor and appeared at the east gate of the city, and many soldiers of the Fu Han Army entered the city from outside the city in turn, they held long muskets in their hands, and the bayonets on their waists were glowing cold.

"This is about to be Chinese New Year's Eve, this Wuchang City should also be cleaned up, otherwise it will be delayed until the New Year, I am afraid that it will not look good on the face." Remove the old and welcome the new, if the old is not removed, how can the new come? ”

Ning Zhongyi had a little coldness on his face, he looked at Ning Zuyi and said in a low voice: "Although you can't use artillery in today's battle, it's enough to rely on two regiments alone." ”

Ning Zuyi smiled slightly, "Hmph, why do you need artillery to deal with those dogs?" In an hour, I will give you a clean Wuchang City! ”
