Two days later, several parties summarized the conditions for the opening to Wanzhou. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Wang Kezong's request was that Gu Bin withdraw from the competition with him, and Zhou Chongde, in addition to asking for a piece of land from Cao Hui, also put forward a request for Yulin Bay, Yazhou Qianhu can recruit soldiers and recruit workers in Wanzhou. Li Shuang's request is the simplest, to open Wanzhou's private salt market. As for the garrison in Wanzhou, this can't be mentioned now, anyway, according to Xu Lang, can't you just rely on it when the time comes.

More than 1,000 soldiers stood throughout the school field, and at the front were the heroic 30 cavalry and the Yulin Bay militia. With the support of Yulin Bay, and to go to Wanzhou to grab land, Zhou Chongde also took out the old bottom, in addition to his own personal soldiers, Zhou Chongde ordered that all 100 households must be fully staffed and do their best to complete the Wanzhou rebellion.

More than 100 of Zhou Chongde's personal soldiers stood up and leaned close behind the Yulin Bay militia, and behind them were seven or eight hundred soldiers of all kinds, from 16 to 60, all kinds of people.

Ding Xiaowu stood in the team, and his heart was like knocking over the five-flavor bottle, which was called a bad one. Although Yulinwan agreed to recruit himself a few years ago, he is still in the Qianhu Office in Yazhou, and he has not taken a step.

"Look at the people." Ding Xiaowu glanced at the 30 cavalrymen, and a burst of frustration surged in his heart, "People are more angry than people." ”

Zhou Chongde's heart was also very uncomfortable, except for his own personal soldiers, can he still stand up and behave, can other soldiers still be called soldiers. There are people who don't even have a mandarin duck jacket, so they stand there stupidly with a wooden stick.

"Look at your soldiers." Zhou Chongde said to the hundreds of households beside him, and none of those hundreds of households dared to talk, and they all avoided Zhou Chongde's gaze.

Zhou Chongde knew that it was useless to reprimand these hundred households now, so he turned to Han Wantao: "Brother Han, I have a reluctant request, brother." ”

"Lord Zhou has something to say." Han Wantao guessed in his heart, "Who are we with?" ”

"I'm ashamed, brother." Zhou Chongde first humbled himself, "When I come back from Wanzhou this time, I also want to ask Brother Han to help train these soldiers under me." Look at them, where do they look like soldiers now? ”

"That's fine." Han Wantao said with a smile, "Since Lord Zhou has spoken, when I come back from Wanzhou, I will arrange it to ensure that Lord Zhou's subordinates will be strong and strong at that time." ”

"Then I'll thank Brother Han first." Zhou Chongde got Han Wantao's consent, and suddenly came to his senses, and shouted with his voice open: "All the soldiers and soldiers, since we eat food and become soldiers, we should report to the court and go down to the people." Now there is a thief riot in this Wanzhou, and this thousand households are ordered to lead you to quell the chaos. Fear the enemy and not the former, slash! ”

"Obey the general's orders!" The unison answer of more than 200 militia groups made Zhou Chongde's heart sad again, "What a good soldier, but it's a pity that it's not your own." ”

From Yazhou to Wanzhou was almost 300 miles, and the entire army walked for a day, but it was less than 30 miles. When the large army arrived at the camping site, the Yulin Bay militia had already set up their camp, and the whole camp exuded a strong smell of meat. Han Wantao intended to show the strength of the Yulin Bay militia in front of the entire Qiongzhou army this time, so he raised the food by a few grades, and found a reasonable reason for himself, and the extra food expenses belonged to the expatriate subsidy.

Soon, a group of Yazhou soldiers gathered outside the Yulin Bay militia camp, snorting vigorously one by one: "It's the aroma of mutton." ”

"No, no, it's definitely pork."

"I don't think it's any, it's beef. Obediently, is this Yulin Bay really so rich? Can a soldier eat meat? ”

Deng Zhongguo led a platoon of soldiers to stand at the gate of the camp with guns: "All back, back, don't cross the cordon, otherwise you will take it immediately." ”

"Your Excellency." A Yazhou soldier boldly asked, "What are you eating?" ”

"It's nothing, normal food. Beef, greens, white rice. ”

"Beef, and white rice."

In less than a quarter of an hour, not only did the number of people not decrease, but hundreds of soldiers gathered at the gate of the camp and asked, "You eat this every day?" ”

Xu Lang and Han Wantao sat in the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Wan Tao, you won't have a problem doing this, there are more and more people outside." Xu Lang looked towards the gate of the camp and turned around and asked.

"I didn't expect that either." Han Wantao was also a little worried, "I said hello to Zhou Chongde in advance, we will take care of the meals for him and his hundreds of households, and they will come to eat with us in a while." A few pieces of beef, it shouldn't be a big problem. ”

"It's hard to say. If these soldiers are allowed to see their own adults eating and drinking spicy food, I am afraid that it will cause a roar in the camp. ”

"It won't be that serious."

"Don't suffer from inequality." Xu Lang suddenly came out with an ancient sentence, "Wan Tao, how much military ration did we bring?" ”

"That's enough for our own people for three months. Didn't we want to occupy Wanzhou, I'll bring more, what's wrong? ”

Before Xu Lang could speak, Deng Zhongguo ran in from outside: "Report to the chief, Mr. Xu, the situation is a little wrong." ”

"What's wrong?" Han Wantao and Xu Lang asked at the same time.

"There are more and more people outside, and some people are already starting to cross the cordon and want to rush in."

"Sergeant Major." Xu Lang stood up suddenly, "You immediately take someone to appease the soldiers outside and tell them that everyone has meat to eat tonight, and they will eat whatever we eat, and they will treat everyone equally." ”

"This." Deng Zhongguo looked at Han Wantao with some hesitation.

"Go ahead, just do what Mr. Xu wants." Han Wantao waved his hand, "But at the same time, I want to tell them that they are all honest and obedient, and no one is allowed to make trouble. ”

"Yes." Deng Zhongguo turned around and went out.

"Xu Lang, invite them to eat meat tonight, what will you do after that." Seeing Deng Zhongguo go out, Han Wantao asked, "Can't we treat you every day." ”

"You didn't bring it on yourself, you have to show it once, something went wrong." Xu Lang stretched out a finger and nodded at Han Wantao, "However, this bad thing can also become a good thing, and blessings and misfortunes depend on it." ”

"Don't show off your knowledge with me, I don't understand." Han Wantao pushed Xu Lang's finger aside, "You can talk about how bad things become good things." ”

"You don't even understand this? Very simple. Xu Lang replied nonchalantly, "This time, we not only want to let the soldiers in Yazhou know, but also let the soldiers in Wanzhou and the whole Qiongzhou know that with Yulin Bay, there will be meat to eat every day." Isn't there a shortage of people in your mixed brigade, and use meat to attract them all. This time, we have all the soldiers' rations. ”

"You're so big." Han Wantao shouted, "How much meat does this cost, how much does it cost, can the Military Commission agree to this money?" ”

"I don't think the Military Commission will disagree with this little money." Xu Lang said, "I'll write a letter, and you can find someone to send it back quickly." I explained the situation to my family and asked them to send some more rations. ”

The commotion outside the camp gradually subsided. The baggage team of the Yulin Army received a new task, to continue the stew, to ensure that each of the more than 800 soldiers could eat this dinner according to the standards of the Yulin Army.

Zhou Chongde led several hundred households to Han Wantao's big tent. As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Chongde shouted: "Brother Han, be righteous." Thank you, brother. ”

Several hundreds of households also gave their hands one after another: "Thank you General Han for treating us, General Han is really a bodhisattva." ”

"Lord Zhou has seen the outside, you have seen the outside." Although Han Wantao felt distressed, he still said politely, "They are all Ming soldiers, regardless of each other." Orderly, let someone bring dinner, and I will accompany Lord Zhou and all the adults to dine. ”

Outside the camp, more than 800 Yazhou soldiers sat quietly on the ground, and dozens of Yulin soldiers carried large buckets to share food one by one. Each person is a big bowl of white rice, plus a bowl of beef and a bowl of greens.

Deng Zhongguo and Andreas also sat among these Yazhou soldiers with bowls of rice. Xu Lang temporarily gave these two people a task, taking advantage of this meal to preach about the treatment of the Yulin Army.

"Your Excellency." A Yazhou soldier's mouth was stuffed with beef, and he asked indistinctly, "Do your militia groups in Yulin Bay eat this every day?" Eat meat even if you don't fight? ”

"You swallow the meat before you speak, don't choke." Deng Zhongguo said with a smile, "We eat this every day, and we can't eat so much if we don't fight in normal times, but we must have enough, three meals a day, either meat or fish." ”

"Your Excellency." The other soldier ate all the meat in his bowl, licked his mouth and asked, "Are you General Han's personal soldiers, if you are not a personal soldier, you can't eat so well." ”

"It's all the same. In Yulin Bay, there is no distinction between pro-soldiers and non-pro-soldiers, they are all soldiers of the militia group. Deng Zhongguo saw the soldier staring at the bowl in his hand, smiled slightly, and put half a bowl of meat in his bowl into the soldier's bowl, and continued, "If others don't say it, just say me, I didn't know anything at the beginning, even you are not as good as you now, but since I joined the Yulin Bay militia group, I have listened to the words of the commander and fought bravely, and I can now take a tael of silver a month." ”

"A tael of silver? My lord, have you ever really fought? ”

"Don't believe you." Deng Zhongguo was a little anxious when he saw that no one believed his words, put down the bowl in his hand, tore off his military uniform, and pointed to the scar on his chest, "Look at it, look at it, this is the proof of Lao Tzu's courage in fighting." ”

"Your Excellency, you've really fought." The surrounding soldiers gathered to look at Deng Zhongguo's scar.

"I'll show you something again." Deng Zhongguo took out his medal from his pocket and held it in his hand, "Do you know what this is?" The second-class Sun and Moon Medal, Lao Tzu's knife was not in vain, with it, I will not be a soldier in the future, not only will I have a house and land, but also extra silver every month. ”

"Just a piece of iron can be exchanged for silver? Your Majesty, you're joking. Seeing that Deng Zhongguo was not so stern, the people around him also asked.

"I said you really don't believe it." Deng Zhongguo looked around, and happened to see Ding Xiaowu, "Ding Xiaowu, you come." ”

Ding Xiaowu walked over with a bowl.

"If you don't believe him, ask him." Deng Zhongguo pointed at Ding Xiaowu and shouted, "He and I fought together back then, how this piece of iron came from, and what he can get in exchange for in the future, he knows best." ”

"This grown-up is right." Ding Xiaowu muttered, "In the Yulin Bay militia group, anyone has the opportunity to divide the house and land. ”

"Is that anyone able to go to Yulin Bay?" Another Yazhou soldier asked, "Can a military household like us go?" ”

"Of course." Deng Zhongguo pointed to Andreas next to him, "Did you see him?" The Hongyi people, who are also military officers now, have taken more money than me. In Yulin Bay, as long as you have the ability, you will have a day to get ahead. ”

"yes, anyone can go." Ding Xiaowu responded to Deng Zhongguo on the one hand, and scolded in his heart, "I can't go." ”

Deng Zhongguo put down the rice bowl in his hand and stood up: "Okay, you guys will quickly camp and rest after eating." Our adults have already agreed with you Lord Zhou, during the period of the expedition to Wanzhou, Yulin Bay will be responsible for your food, and you will eat whatever we eat. Go back to bed early and get up early tomorrow for breakfast. Scattered, scattered. ”

"And breakfast. Then I won't sleep tonight. The Yazhou soldiers talked and walked away.

"Ding Xiaowu, you stay for a while." Deng Zhongguo stopped Ding Xiaowu, who was also leaving.
