At this time, most of the soldiers were still sleeping, and some of the soldiers were busy cooking on the stove after getting up early. Yu Zhilong waved his hand and ordered him to continue.

The seven or eight soldiers were divided into two groups, and they were busy adding firewood, blowing fire, and adding water in front of the two large marching pots. This marching pot should have been captured from the Meng Clan Righteous Army yesterday, as was rice and grain. Yu Zhilong can also see a black "Meng" embroidered on the mouth of the grain and rice cloth bag.

Seeing the busy figures of these soldiers, Yu Zhilong always felt that something was wrong. I just quietly watched the soldiers hit the flint vigorously, sparks splashed everywhere, and after lighting the prepared handful of hay, he carefully stuffed it into the stove.

In a choking black smoke, a bright flame gradually appeared in the stove, the yellowish flames licked the bottom of the pot and gradually rose, several soldiers hurriedly added water to the pot, added rice, accidentally, one person kicked over a bucket of water on the ground in advance, and the clear river water was scattered all over the ground. Seeing these soldiers who were a little careless in their work, Yu Zhilong finally realized that he felt that these soldiers were cooking the same team's meals by themselves.

Yu Zhilong regretted that he slapped his head heavily, he was busy in the past few days, and the team suddenly expanded to thousands of people, and he just organized it into various hundred household teams, but he did not think of setting up a special team in time, resulting in the fact that each hundred household team is now cooking in a pot. This efficiency is naturally low!

This is also because everyone has no experience for a while, there are only a few dozen people when they marched a few days ago, and a few people can be simply cooked out of a meal, and Yu Zhilong and others often eat dry food. Now there are thousands of people in the team, and it is obvious that the old model is no longer applicable.

Yu Zhilong was thinking about it, and Qian Zheng came from the side. Although this man is not outstanding in kung fu, he has always been extremely lucky, and he is rarely injured in battle. This time was no exception.

After Qian Zheng came to greet him, he saw Yu Zhilong frowning and asked curiously what was the matter. Yu Zhilong casually said what he had just discovered.

Qian Zheng's eyes rolled, remembering someone, so he recommended it to Yu Zhilong.

"Noble? Who is this? "Yu Zhilong can't remember this person, he is definitely not the old brother of the scout team, and he will not be the person who was originally from the Yu Hai squadron.

Qian Zheng laughed and said: "We can have today's situation, and this person also has merit." Do you remember putting croton in your meal at the quarry? This man is a chef in the room. ”

Qian Zheng can clearly remember the noble person, mainly because of the noble hand. Gao Shang has been helping the army cook since he joined the gang, and after a few days, everyone found that his craftsmanship is excellent, and some simple green vegetables can be made with good color and flavor. The greedy crowd took the initiative to hold the rice bowl and wait on its side when the gang opened, although it was a big pot dish, the aroma was still tangy.

Wu Side, Qian Zheng, Huang Er and others are the happiest, as long as they have the opportunity, they all rely on their 100 military positions to catch a big bowl first. As for the food of their own 100 households, they basically made a hands-off shopkeeper, and ordered a few of their subordinates to find their own pots and cook so they no longer had to worry about it. However, Mu Chun, Ji Xiancheng and others are more careful, and they eat together with their subordinates every time, caring about whether the food is sandwiched and delicious.

Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi have been busy with military affairs, and they are not particular about eating at all, and they have been busy lately, and they have been dizzy recently, and no matter how good the food is, it tastes like chewing wax in their mouths. Therefore, in the past two days, every time the troops had a meal, it was completely herding sheep, and each team solved it by itself.

Qian Zheng continued: "This noble is not only good in craftsmanship, but also in good character, he used to be a cook, and he led a few guys to open a wine shop. Later, I chatted with him and learned that his family had long been separated, and now he was alone and had nothing to worry about. I think he has the experience of leading a team, so there must be no problem in being the head of the firehead army! ”

The battle of the quarry that day laid the foundation for Yu Zhilong's today, and the cooks of the quarries also made a contribution, in order to prevent the dishes from being eaten, the noble seems to have specially added a lot of chili peppers and other seasonings to the dishes. Thinking of the past, Yu Zhilong couldn't help but smile and said, "Since you can be so respected, you must be a good person." Come, call him, and I will see his opinion. One of the soldiers agreed.

Qian Zheng recommended Gao Shang to Yu Zhilong, Yu Zhilong After talking with Gao Shang, he felt that this person did have some talent for managing things, and it was rare that this person had a more generous personality, perhaps because it was related to his previous experience.

This man in charge of the whole army is a fat man, as long as he has a little selfishness, he can deduct a lot of silver taels. Of course, the impact of what can be deducted is also enormous. Yu Zhilong didn't want to appoint some guys who drank the blood of soldiers. These people will only erode military discipline, leading to a decline in combat effectiveness and a weakening of the morale of the army.

Throughout the conversation, Gao Shang had been standing in front of Zhilong in a restrained manner, and he didn't understand why Yu Zhilong had asked him to come over early in the morning. After coming, Yu Zhilong just asked about his past, could it be that he did something wrong and provoked this young leader to blame?

Yu Zhilong has strict military discipline in the past few days, killed the righteous army, used decisive methods, and fought ruthlessly, but he left a deep impression on Gao Shang and others, although Gao Shang is at least 20 years older than Yu Zhilong, and has a lot of experience, but he is now alone with Zhilong's conversation, and he still can't help but feel uneasy in his heart.

Gao Shang never thought that after talking, Yu Zhilong would appoint Gao Shang to be in charge of the food and logistics of the whole army on the spot, and lead 100 households. Gao Shang suddenly became the highest officer in charge of this team.

Noble got the job of a hundred households, moved in his heart, knelt down and kowtowed a few times, he used to be just a chef, and then became a coolie for some reason, he was already heartbroken, and he spent his whole life in the quarry, and he didn't want to be rescued by Yu Zhilong and others from the sea of suffering, although it was the identity of the thief, but after all, he was free. At the beginning, Yu Zhilong made it clear in public that those who were willing to join the gang, Yu Zhilong smiled, and those who did not want to join the gang could leave freely and would not be hindered. But the court in the world is erosive, and the people everywhere are struggling to make a living. On both sides of the Huanghuai River, the north and south of the Yangtze River are now everywhere, since the separation from the family, the noble has been alone, follow Yu Zhilong, although it is hard, but it is no longer enslaved, as a dog. The teammates in the team also think the same way, and no one wants to live the same life as a cow and a horse.

After Gao Shang accepted this position, he couldn't help but have some worries in his heart, this is an important task in charge of the food and baggage of more than 1,000 people, if something goes wrong, according to military law, how can it end well! I was really stunned.

Yu Zhilong gently admonished, Gao Shang is currently the most suitable person in terms of food management, since I have chosen you, you have to do this well for me no matter what! Considering that Gao Shang was now in dire need of manpower, he temporarily transferred Fang Xue over to help.

In the end, Yu Zhilong recalled the experience of more than a year of fighting and the experience of managing the diet of the troops, and specially told Gao Shang that to train the manpower as soon as possible, first of all, to prepare all the guys for cooking, and that the current manpower and pots and pans are obviously insufficient, let him go back and think out a set of effective methods according to the characteristics of the troops' marching and fighting in the future, and set up his own logistics team as soon as possible, and the required personnel should be selected to temporarily form a logistics team of about 200 people. In the future, in addition to being responsible for the food and beverage of the whole army, this logistics team will also have to take care of the duties of collecting, distributing, and transporting grain. Cooking by teams like today should not happen again.

Moreover, in addition to collecting march pots, dishes and chopsticks as soon as possible, it is also necessary to collect enough vehicles, mules and horses, etc.

If you are noble and short-minded, you might as well gather the whole team to figure out a way together. Three stinkers are worth one Zhuge Liang!

Gao Shang accepted the title, listened carefully to Yu Zhilong's request, and silently remembered the essentials of the teaching in his heart before he resigned. His 100-household team is the largest number of 100 households in the army, and Yu Zhilong wants to try to see how noble is actually able to do so, and if it is available, he might as well promote his position in the future and strengthen the proportion of personnel in the logistics team.

Yu Zhilong had just finished breakfast, and was about to discuss future actions with Zhao Shi and others, things were busy yesterday, and there were still many things that were dark without discussion, so he had to give up. As soon as the rice bowl was put down, a Liu Zhengfeng's personal soldier came outside, and when he arrived nearby, he was stopped by Sun Xing first, asked a few words, and Sun Xing led him over again.

When the soldier arrived in front of Yu Zhilong, he quickly knelt down on one knee, saluted respectfully, and said: "I have seen Leader Yu, Liu Da Boss and the leaders are discussing matters at the place where they stayed yesterday in the village. ”

"Oh, you want to deliberate? I'll go. Yu Zhilong should promise, thinking that what is so urgent, Meng Qing's old thief has been wiped out, the rest of the fleeing scattered, the pursuers behind are still far away, even if there are pioneers to catch up, I am afraid that the number will not be much, now after he and Liu Zhengfeng's department converged, there are more than 2,000 people, and a large number of weapons have been captured, the morale of the army is high, and it has the strength to fight with the pursuers. Now, if the pursuers dare to go deep alone, they don't mind another ambush.

It doesn't seem to be a matter of hostility. Yu Zhilong thought as he walked. He also ordered Sun Xing to find someone to inform Zhao Shi and the others, and asked Zhao Shi to stay and arrange today's matters.

Entering the courtyard of Zhu Gui's house, he was led by his own soldiers to the lobby of the main house, and saw Liu Zhengfeng, Wan Jinhai, Liu Qi and other more than 20 leaders of all sizes sitting around the Eight Immortals table in the center. Liu Zhengfeng saw Yu Zhilong coming in, stood up and walked two steps quickly, caught up with Yu Zhilong, laughed twice, and said hello. Yu Zhilong hurriedly bowed to Liu Zhengfeng, and then bowed to the leaders in the room, and after doing his best, Wan Jinhai, Liu Qi, Xia Houen, Qin Zhanshan and other leaders quickly stood up one after another, and they all returned the salute to Yu Zhilong with a smile.

Liu Zhengfeng grabbed one of Yu Zhilong's hands and led him to the left of his seat with a smile, where a seat was already empty, and even a cup of hot tea was already on the table. Yu Zhilong let it go a few times, and Liu Zhengfeng persuaded with a smile: "Brother Yu is seated with peace of mind, the big guys have said that if Brother Yu doesn't sit in this position, no one else is qualified!" ”

"Yes, Brother Yu, only you are qualified to sit here!"

"Brother Yu, just sit down, whoever dares to say nothing, brother, I will be anxious with him!"

"Brother Yu had a great kindness to us yesterday, we won't say much about this word of gratitude, Brother Yu should be polite, brother owes you a life here, in the future, Brother Yu just commands!" Everyone followed and persuaded noisily, but only Yu Shichang opened his mouth and didn't make a sound.

Yu Zhilong couldn't resist everyone, confessed the crime, and finally sat down, all the leaders sat down one after another, several big leaders sat around the table of eight immortals, and the small leaders set up a bench and sat in the back. A few pro-soldiers waited outside, pouring hot tea for the big leaders at the table from time to time.
