On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, when the field soldiers of the mighty army were still training in the ice and snow, Lu Yuan came here again accompanied by Zhou Gou'er.

"Soldiers of my mighty army, Master Lu has come to visit you, and this time I also brought you eight hundred catties of pork, which has been boiled in a pot, you have worked hard, let us welcome Lord Lu!"

Propaganda Commissioner Zhou Gou'er shouted like this, and first took the initiative to turn his voice and applaud Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan walked over, smiled kindly at these field soldiers, and waved his hand.

The field soldiers of the mighty army all laughed happily, after all, they were so good that they not only braved such cold weather to see them, but also brought them meat.

"Although we field soldiers have all heard that in order to ensure everyone's nutrition, Lu Guanye eliminated night blindness and had strength during training, and required the fattest meat at every meal, but it is rare that Lu Guanye is so cold that he still thinks about us and brings us meat, this Lu Guanye is really a good official!"

"But isn't it, it looks like the New Year is coming, I heard that Lord Lu didn't even return home, so he came to see us first, and now I think it's worth dying for such a good official!"

The field soldiers were talking to themselves, and they all smiled heartily at Lu Yuan, as if they had forgotten the cold and tiredness.

Lu Yuan sighed at this time, and said to Uncle Fei and Shen Guangzu with great concern: "The two, as the saying goes, love soldiers like sons, and their training doesn't have to be too hard, so let the soldiers rest more." ”

Lu Yuan said so.

The field soldiers below were all very moved, and some even had tears in their eyes, saying in their hearts that Master Lu was really a good person, and finally said a word of conscience for his people.

"Childe, soldiers sweat more in peacetime, so they can shed less blood in wartime, I am here to express my sincere gratitude to you for your care on behalf of the field soldiers of our company, but in order to defend our homeland, in order to fight against the Jiannu who intend to slaughter us, we must train hard!"

"Childe, we are even the same, first of all, thank you for your concern, but for the sake of the family and country, this hardship must be suffered!"

Uncle Fei and Shen Guangzu both refuted Lu Yuan's words, and the answers were very righteous and righteous, but in fact, they were all taught to them by Lu Yuan in advance.

But the field soldiers were a little unhappy after hearing this, and Xiong Zhiyuan secretly scolded: "This surnamed Fei, you are a fucking bastard who wants to kill us!" ”

"It's still Lord Lu, he is the one who really loves us."

Zhou Laojiu also sighed.

Lu Yuan smiled, of course, this scene was arranged by him in advance, in order to ensure that these field soldiers can quickly train their combat effectiveness and subdue the military spirit of these people.

At this time, Lu Yuan waved his hand and said: "Training is to be trained, but people can't ignore their families, soldiers, today, I, Lu, are the masters for you, from today on, you don't train, ten days off, only return to the camp after the fifth day of the first month, each person goes to the captain to get five catties of pork back to accompany their families to have a good meal, and then take three times the moon silver back, buy a new clothes for your family, buy something new for your home, we have to defend our homeland, but this day must be lived!" It's all gone! ”

As soon as Lu Yuan said this, these field soldiers all jumped up with cheers, and they were all grateful to Lu Yuan.

"It's still good for Lu Guanye, three times the moon silver, six taels of silver, and five catties of pork, woo, my previous owners who worked part-time were not so good!"

"Master Lu, Happy New Year, I'll kowtow to you!"

"The surname is Fei, I see if you have anything else to say, damn it, Lord Lu is gracious, can you stop it?!"

"The surname is Shen, Lao Tzu is going home for the New Year, see who will accompany you for the New Year!"

The field soldiers walked away in tears of triumph or joy or excitement.

And Lu Yuan pulled down his face at this time and said: "You guys should also go back for the New Year, but let me say a word, you two companies, who wants to return to the team at the earliest, and start training at the earliest after the year, the company commander will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and each team is rewarding five taels of silver." ”

"Yes! We will definitely start training as soon as possible! ”

Uncle Fei and Shen Guangzu immediately replied.

Caiyi, who was following behind Lu Yuan, couldn't help but shake his head, and said in his heart: "It seems that these field soldiers won't be happy for long, when did my uncle become so inconsistent." ”

The New Year of the eleventh year of Chongzhen is approaching.

Although the field soldiers didn't know that they couldn't have rested too well this year, they were undoubtedly happy at the moment.

Especially when Lu Yuan personally scooped up a bowl of broth for them and personally handed them six taels of silver.

Looking at these field soldiers who were carrying meat and running to their homes in residential areas with smiles on their faces, Lu Yuan also felt the taste of the New Year.

This was his first year in Daming, and he was a little melancholy unconsciously.

Caiyi walked over at this time, put the gray squirrel fur on Lu Yuan, and looked at Lu Yuan: "Uncle, are we going home for the New Year?" ”

"Home?"

Lu Yuan smiled.

That's right.

I have a family in this era, I have a mother, and I have a wife.

"Naturally, we want to go back, our little colorful clothes are homesick, how can we not go back."

Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"Isn't my uncle homesick?"

Caiyi raised her eyes, and Bai Xue was swept away by Lu Yuan before she wet her eyebrows: "Think, think about it, you let the six babies go and inform everyone who has more than two taels of silver to know, and the day after tomorrow will have a meeting to make a year-end summary, so tomorrow you will have to hand in the accounts and reports you are responsible for, and you will have a holiday on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month." ”

"Okay, uncle, I'll tell the six babies now!"

Caiyi ran happily.

Lu Yuan only smiled slightly when he saw this, the eleventh year of Chongzhen is coming, if the Manchu Qing Dynasty does not enter the customs again this year, the thieves will be mostly exterminated by Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou in this year, and the Ming Dynasty will regain its vitality, and there will be no death at all, but nine months later, the Manchu Qing will enter the customs, which means that the year that seems to be about to return to tranquility will only start a worse year.

No matter how difficult it is for the Ming Dynasty to return, no matter how corrupt the imperial court is, is it right for the Manchus to enter the customs and slaughter the Han people?

Lu Yuan tightened his neckline, blocked the cold wind outside, and then stepped on the creaking snow road back to the chief flag official's office.

But as soon as Lu Yuan returned to the general flag official, he saw Luan Qianhu coming in a huff, and he came all the way with the chief flag merchant Yongxin.

"Yo, the New Year is coming, why do Luan Qianhu still have time to come here?"

Lu Yuan asked.

Luan Qianhu snorted with an unkind face.

Shang Yongxin first said with a smug smile: "The surname is Lu, don't you ask knowingly, you dare not be allowed to open a mine without permission, and recruit troops privately, what do you want to do?" ”

Lu Yuan lowered his face coldly and shouted: "Six babies! Blow the rally trumpet now! Cancel your vacation! ”
