Chapter 3: Folding the Willow (Part 3)
Since even Gao Shida's own cronies who were planted in Julu Zezhong didn't want to open his eyes for him, others didn't have the heart to take the initiative to touch Yang Laohu's moldy head when they were eating and drinking. Zhang Jin said a few words in a big way, and the strategy of Julu Ze's group not being able to shrink in a short period of time was set.
During the day, the meeting went smoothly, and in the evening, Zhang Da had to show off a few words to the women in the house. Liu Er, the favorite concubine who was waiting for him to wash his feet, was stunned when she heard this, and while gently cleaning the dead skin on Zhang Jincheng's heels with a fine grinding stone, she asked softly: "Does the Nine Masters also agree with this strategy?" In the master's words, it seems that he has not spoken today! ”
"He? After all, it's still young! I'm afraid I can't get to the point! Zhang Jin said that he was so gentle and delicate that he didn't want to open his eyes, and he didn't want to open his eyes, and he responded without a word.
"Ye didn't praise him for his foresight a few days ago. Compared to him, many people live to be dogs?! Liu smiled and put his washed feet on his knees, grabbed a fine cloth, and slowly wiped off the water stains on it.
"That's the truth. Xiao Jiuzi has read a lot after all! Zhang Jincheng frowned and muttered an explanation. Unlike those of us who have the most knowledge to know a few hundred words! ”
was inadvertently reminded by Liu, and he really realized that during the daytime deliberations, Cheng Mingzhen said very little. In the first few days after returning to Juluze, the performance of the young people was far less calm than now, especially when it came to the formulation of rules and the training of the whole army. On several occasions, regardless of the late entry time, he actually slapped the table with Wang Mazi, the fourth master, and Lu Fangyuan, the eighth master.
This kind of conflict between the brothers, Zhang Jin said that natural energy and thin mud are with thin mud. Cheng Mingzhen's knowledge is high, but Wang Mazi's qualifications and Lu Fangyuan's background are not comparable to young people. So in the end of the conflict, it is often the young man's proposal that is adopted, but the person is reprimanded. It made both sides gas, and when they met for several days, they stared wide-eyed.
Conflict is conflict, removing the face factor, in private, several family members still admire Cheng Mingzhen's ability. The suggestions and opinions put forward by the young man basically did not contain any selfish motives, and some of the plans were sorted out according to his ideas, and both the immediate effect and practical operation were much higher than those that everyone came up with after patting the back of the head. Take the reorganization of the army as an example, the eight leaders are concerned about each other's strength, and none of them is willing to reduce the size of the brothers under their command, and no one is worried about handing over the brothers under their command to others for unified deployment. And anyone is like a mirror in their hearts, and they all know that if they continue to lead a group of rabble, if they meet that Yang Laohu, hundreds of thousands of brothers will definitely be wiped out.
Last time, I talked about it all day, and everyone was exhausted, but they couldn't come up with an effective plan. At the last moment when he was about to give up, Cheng Mingzhen took the initiative to suggest that under the premise of maintaining the current scale of each village, about 20,000 soldiers should be rectified separately to deal with the situation. The composition of these 20,000 soldiers is that each of the eight leaders will contribute 2,000, and Dazhai advocates doubling the gold title and contributing 4,000. It was divided into ten armies, each of which was still 2,000 men, and was uniformly armed and uniformly trained. The commanders of each army are collectively referred to as the captains, and the owners of each village are concurrently serving them. During the ordinary training, the brothers were led by two lieutenants, and the official titles were left and right lieutenants. The candidates for deputy generals are recommended by the owners of each village, and the general village does not have to interfere.
As for the banner of the ten teams of soldiers, it is no longer a mess of mountains, forests, leopards, Ze and the like, referring to Cheng Mingzhen's suggestion, everyone directly copied the formation of the regular army of the Great Sui, divided into left one, left two, left three, right one, right two, right three, middle one, middle two, middle three and a cavalry army composed entirely of cavalry.
In this way, not only did it ensure the size of the soldiers, but it also did not break the balance of power within Juluze. In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the brothers as soon as possible, Cheng Mingzhen also took the initiative to propose that Hao Laodao, the most agile fifth master, be the head of the sect, responsible for the unified training of the group, and he and Du Juan assisted on the side.
The amazing combat effectiveness of the villagers in Guantao County is still fresh in the memory of several members of Zhangjiajun's family. After realizing that their interests were not harmed, they quickly accepted Cheng's proposal. Everyone understands in their hearts that the so-called Hao Laodao as the head coach is actually the respect of young people for their predecessors. All the big and small things during training must still be specifically responsible for Cheng Mingzhen.
Taking advantage of everyone's happiness, Cheng Mingzhen proposed it again on the same day to solve the confusion of the names of low-level officers. Referring to the military officer system of the Great Sui Prefecture, each army had two regiments under the command of the captain. Each 100 people is set up as a brigade, which is led by the brigade leader. Under the brigade command, there are two more teams, each with 50 people, and the team leader is responsible for commanding it. The lowest-ranking officer is the group leader, with five men in command, and is always at the forefront of the charge.
Listening to Cheng Mingzhen's words, the owners of the village also agreed one by one. But since then, the Nine Masters seem to have put all their attention on the training of soldiers, and rarely went to the general village to be courteous. During the routine meeting every three days, he also tried to speak as little as possible, and only when he was named by Zhang Jincheng did he answer a few words cautiously.
"Could it be that this kid is holding something in his heart that is not happy?" Carefully considering Cheng Mingzhen's recent performance, Zhang Da Dang frowned and said to himself.
Seeing that the man was deep in thought, Liu also closed his mouth at the right time, hugged one of Zhang Jincheng's thighs, and patiently soothed his muscles and blood.
These rough jobs were originally taken care of by maidservants in the county yamen. But Zhang Jin said that there are no rules here, and if you like a woman, let the woman take all the triple identities of wife, cook, and maid. And the level of Liu's servant is obviously right above the other concubines, so since he returned to Juluze, out of ten nights, Zhang Jin said that eight nights were spent in Liu's room.
After pondering for a while, Zhang Jin said that he still couldn't think of a reason. Reaching out and brushing the black hair on the woman's forehead, he commanded in a low voice, "Are you talking?" Am I being too him lately? He seems to be afraid of something, and he is always cautious every day! ”
"Where do concubines know a lot about men's affairs!" Ryu raised his sweaty face and replied breathlessly. I don't know if it was because of the water vapor in the footbasin, or because of overexertion, a healthy red appeared between her faces. When Zhang Jincheng saw it, he couldn't help but want to put his mouth up and take a big bite.
In that case, we won't be able to get anything serious done all night tonight. Fortunately, Zhang Da still has some self-knowledge, endured the fire in his heart, and encouraged with a smile: "Doesn't the cuckoo often come to you?" Did she mention anything? The two of them are as good as honey blending oil, what else do they refuse to say in private? ”
"Juan Zi is busy helping Cheng Mingzhen train his troops, and he hasn't been here for some days!" Liu sighed and replied in a low voice. "When it's warm, everyone is busy. I don't know anything, so I'm in the way everywhere! ”
"Who thinks you're in the way, I'll hit his board?" Zhang Jin said that he was distressed by Liu's lonely appearance, withdrew his legs, and stood up. "Where you want to play, just go. You are my woman, whoever rushes to disrespect you will not give me face! ”
"Which one is disrespectful to me? It's because I'm afraid of disturbing others! Liu gently hugged Zhang Jincheng's knee, pressed his face to it, and whispered. I'm your woman, if you walk around every day, it's inevitable that someone will chew the root of your tongue behind your back. When a woman has a husband, the most taboo thing is to be talked about. Although the concubine's background is a little worse, she can't be ashamed of her master's face! ”
"Just go, we don't have the rules of the government here!" Feeling the gentleness and thoughtfulness of a woman, Zhang Jincheng's heart was as soft as a spring willow, "Whoever dares to mess with right and wrong, I will slaughter her with a knife." Don't be stuffy in the house every day, it's warm, and when it's time to go out for a walk, go out for a walk. Wherever you want to go, just send a few personal guards to escort you. Whoever dares to disobey the order, you will learn from the cuckoo and whip him hard! ”
"Master ......" Liu Shi was moved by Zhang Jincheng's words, and his heart was hot, and he raised his hazy teary eyes and said with a moan.
"You woman, you have a lot of heart!" Zhang Jincheng leaned down and wiped the tears from the woman's face with his calloused fingers. It was a blown-up face, and it didn't match his thick fingers. Such a woman should have been raised in a carved beam and painted building, with fine clothes and food every day, instead of following Lao Zhang in a place like Juluze, where mosquitoes and miasma are rampant. Thinking of the benefits of the Liu family to himself these days, Zhang Da's heart was like a crack opened, and the salty stains ached, "I've been busy lately, and I can't accompany you every day." When I'm done, I'll take you to the lake in the middle of the swamp to go boating. Although our giant deer Ze is a little remote, the scenery is not bad! ”
"Ye is going to do big things, and he can't be delayed by women. It's me who is not good, I always want to get Longwangshu! The woman took Zhang Jincheng's hand, put it under her red lips, and gently tasted it with the tip of her tongue. Coarse, dry, but strong and reliable.
Zhang Jin said that he didn't quite understand what Long Wangshu meant, but he could feel the woman's hot breathing. Sighing, he bent down, took Liu Er into his arms, and strode towards the bed.
He wasn't that old, his arms were still strong, and his chest was still solid. Pressed against the stone-like chest, Liu could clearly hear the beating of his heart. As a robbed woman, she was so favored by her husband that she was so lucky that Zhang Jin said that all the other concubines were jealous. But she still felt empty in her heart, even if she hid in Zhang Jincheng's arms, she still couldn't be satisfied. She clearly knew that what she was asking for was actually a flame that could shatter people's bones. However, she couldn't help but want to jump into this invisible flame, even if it was burned to ashes.
The temperature in the room suddenly turned hot, and the moth, which had been waking up from hibernation, spread its wings and flew to the candle on the table. It was burned by the flames and fell to the ground in smoke.
But a second moth continued to pounce on it, flying towards a fate that it could not refuse.
