Chapter 143: Indulge Yourself
Mao Wenlong resolved Hong Chengchou's embarrassing situation in a timely manner, which made Hong Chengchou breathe a sigh of relief, and his good impression of Mao Wenlong increased a lot.
From the beginning of the contempt, to the more in-depth understanding of Mao Wenlong and Ye County, Hong Chengchou's opinion of him has changed dramatically.
Maybe this has a lot to do with Hong Chengchou's encounter, but it is mainly after an in-depth understanding of Mao Wenlong that he sees the hope of Ye County and the strength of the Dongjiang Army.
I used to hear how powerful the Dongjiang Army was, and the lone army had been fighting with the Tartars for many years, never letting the Tartars step into the Ming Dynasty, and even rescued hundreds of thousands of people in Liaodong from fire and water.
For these, Hong Chengchou had always regarded them as rumors, but now, he believes it. After experiencing the strength of the Dongjiang Army, he no longer had any doubts.
In order to prevent Hong Chengchou and others from continuing to be embarrassed, Mao Wenlong dispersed all the Dongjiang troops, leaving only Chen Jisheng.
This guy doesn't know what modesty is at all, and in front of Wei Xingwen and the others, he always has an expression of inadequacy. In desperation, Mao Wenlong had no choice but to blow him away in the end.
Hong Chengchou was silent for a long time, and the expression on his face was constantly changing, and he seemed to be struggling with something in his heart. After a long time, I heard him suddenly say, "How are you going to arrange for us?" ”
The implication couldn't be more obvious, Mao Wenlong's efforts these days have not been in vain, a sincere smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he smiled: "I can understand that you have agreed to do it here with me?" ”
Hong Chengchou was also simple, he didn't twist, he nodded directly and admitted: "Otherwise, what do you think?" ”
As long as Hong Chengchou agreed, Mao Wenlong was relieved, and he laughed: "Uncle's ability, the little nephew is completely trusted, so let's do it, can I temporarily wronged my uncle to serve as a deputy general in the army?" ”
Mao Wenlong was also happy, and directly threw off a deputy general, which can be said to be at any cost.
There is no way, Mao Wenlong is still counting on Hong Chengchou to marry his daughter to him, and he is not generous to his future father-in-law, where can it be reasonable.
Unexpectedly, Hong Chengchou frowned and said: "I have just arrived, and I will serve as a deputy general as soon as I come, I am afraid that the soldiers in your army will also be unconvinced." Otherwise, just give me a counselor! ”
Hong Chengchou is still quite self-aware, after he saw the strength of the Dongjiang Army, he understood that he would definitely not be able to convince the public without any achievements in a short period of time.
Rather than being criticized for going through the back door in a high position in the future, it is better to take a step back and broaden the sky. In short, Hong Chengchou still has absolute confidence in his ability.
Since the old man himself spoke, Mao Wenlong naturally had no reason to disagree, and even made a decision. Then he turned to look at Wei Xingwen and the others, and Mao Wenlong seemed very embarrassed about their arrangement.
After all, the three of them lost to Da Niu in front of the whole army just now, and Da Niu's real position is just to be the general. Mao Wenlong estimated in his heart that at present, he could only give Wei Xingwen and them a total position.
But if this is the case, there is a fear that Hong Chengchou and Wei Xingwen will not be happy in their hearts. For this reason, Mao Wenlong was in a dilemma for a while.
Hong Chengchou seemed to see Mao Wenlong's hesitation, and he didn't let Mao Wenlong be too embarrassed, and directly asked Wei Xingwen and others: "What position do you think you have in the army?" ”
Mao Wenlong breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Hong Chengchou will help him in the future, and if it is inconvenient to speak out, he can let him do it for him.
Wei Xingwen and the three of them are also old fritters in the army, where would they not understand the meaning of Hong Chengchou's words. The three of them also understood that with their current strength, it was impossible to occupy a high position in the powerful Dongjiang Army.
After Wei Xingwen hesitated slightly, he stepped forward and said, "I just need the general to give me a general." ”
Wei Xingwen took the lead, and the other two also said that as long as they were satisfied!
Hong Chengchou was also very satisfied, and after nodding in agreement, he looked at Mao Wenlong and cast an inquiring look.
One is just a general, of course, there is no problem, Mao Wenlong immediately agreed. It is rare to be so happy today, and in order to celebrate Hong Chengchou and others finally agreeing to serve him, Mao Wenlong announced that he would have a big banquet tonight, and the whole army would celebrate together. It can be regarded as a real wind and dust for Hong Chengchou and others.
Hong Chengchou understood that Mao Wenlong's banquet was to give himself and others an opportunity to get in touch with the officers and men in the army, and it could be regarded as an official announcement of his joining, so he naturally agreed to it.
The rice is a big pot of rice, and the dishes are also a big pot of dishes, and the whole army is the same, and no one can open a small stove. But it is also better than the dishes, and the meat is readily available, which can be described as quite rich.
The wine is also open, and tonight Mao Wenlong allows everyone to drink as much as they want.
Everyone is happy, everyone is happy!
The banquet was announced to begin in the evening by Mao Wenlong, and the whole army celebrated together.
Although the officers and men of the Dongjiang Army still didn't agree so much with Hong Chengchou, they all looked at the banquet and didn't care about it.
Drinking alcohol can allow two people who are not originally dealing with each other to quickly understand each other and talk about wine. No, I don't know when, Chen Jisheng, who has always been cold to Wei Xingwen and them, will already drink with them.
The big bull is also there, and the two sides seem to be good buddies, where is there still a-for-tat look earlier.
They are all bold men in the army, and there is no grudge between the two sides, so drinking together so soon was already expected by Mao Wenlong.
Hong Chengchou looked at Wei Xingwen and they had integrated into the Dongjiang Army, and a smile appeared on his face. As long as he gets along, he has nothing to worry about.
That night, this wine banquet directly put down half of the people, and the ground was full of messes, and empty wine jars could be seen everywhere. The drunk soldiers lay on the ground crookedly, and those who were not drunk also walked and scooped.
After more than a month of devil training, these iron-clad men also tensed their nerves, and tonight was a rare opportunity to indulge, and no one restrained themselves anymore.
Hong Chengchou is also a little drunk at the moment, and tonight is also the most indulgent of himself recently. Seeing the whole army staggering, Hong Chengchou said worriedly: "Is this really okay?" ”
Mao Wenlong didn't know what he meant at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "The combination of work and rest, if there is tightness, there must be looseness, you can't always hold them, it is necessary to let them relax appropriately." ”
After hearing this, Hong Chengchou didn't reply for a long time, but judging from the approving look on his face, he obviously admitted what Mao Wenlong said.
Without worries in his heart, Hong Chengchou is more open, as Mao Wenlong said. Hong Chengchou felt that he needed to indulge himself thoroughly.
Lifting the wine jar and pouring it violently, Hong Chengchou suddenly laughed heroically, laughing and laughing, but suddenly crystal tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
