Pingtang County was originally just a small county with no name in the name, and the total number of people in the entire county was only twenty or thirty thousand, but since Chen Zhihua used this place as his Chinese army battalion, this small county town has suddenly become lively.

After the initial panic, the people of Pingtang County suddenly discovered the fact that these troops from the distant Ming Kingdom were much better than their own armies and officials.

They are very disciplined.

There were not many troops entering the city, and the worry that the imaginary soldiers were too fierce as tigers did not exist, and these big-headed soldiers, who were dressed and dressed differently from their Qin people, were as disciplined as little daughters-in-law.

I didn't see burning, killing, looting or anything, but some ruffians and hooligans in the county town who were ready to take advantage of this opportunity to make a big profit were ruthlessly suppressed. The bloody heads showed from another aspect that this army was by no means a good person.

Master Liu, the richest man in the city, ran away with his family, and the huge courtyard became the location where the soldiers were stationed. The old men of the county government ran away, and it became the station of a great general of the Ming Dynasty.

The flag of the Qin State on the head of the city is gone, replaced by the sun and moon flag of the Ming Dynasty, apart from these, the lives of ordinary people seem to be no different.

Of course, there are still differences to be said. That is, the tax collectors who collected the city tax in the city gate cave were gone, and a row of Ming soldiers were stuck there like poles all day long. If someone is going into the city, someone will come up and check it.

Of course, in the beginning, no one went into the city at all.

After this lasted for several days, the people of the city found that the shops in the city were open again, not only the old ones, but also many new ones, and those new shops were opened by the Ming people.

For a city, the most important thing is, of course, the grain shop, the vast majority of the people, it is impossible to eat food at home, basically buy a few days to eat, and then buy it after eating. There are even very poor people, who basically buy once a day, earn money today, and eat tomorrow.

Originally, there was no grain in Pingtang County, and not long ago, the officials took away all the grain in the city, but after the Ming people arrived, they quickly opened a grain shop. This is one of the reasons why Pingtang County has maintained the greatest calm.

With the passage of time, there are more and more merchants of the Ming Kingdom who come here, not only those empty shops have been stationed in the merchants, but now even there are many mobile vendors on the street, and there are all kinds of things sold, there are many, the people of Pingtang County have never heard of it.

For the common people, no matter whose flag is planted above the city, no matter who manages them above the braincase, they still have to live and eat after all. Those who have money and access have all gone to Yongdu City, and those who stay basically have nowhere to go, in such a big winter, if you leave home and there is no place to live, what is the difference between it and suicide.

Without waiting for them to fend for themselves, there were soldiers who came to visit them one by one, and there was no extortion, extortion, or looting, and people came to invite them to work. How much is a day, explain it clearly.

The frightened people went out in a state of trepidation and began to do what the soldiers demanded, and no one expected to be paid, or that it would be good to be given a bowl of porridge.

At the end of the day, when the soldiers distributed tickets to the people, everyone woke up like a dream, and it seemed that the way of the world was really different.

If you have money in your hand, you can naturally go to buy food and vegetables, and you can also go to those vendors to buy some things that are urgently needed at home. Life still has to be passed after all.

Pingtang County, just like this, inadvertently, slowly became lively.

Tens of thousands of troops were stationed inside and outside the city, and in this great winter, it brought countless opportunities to the people inside and outside the city, so that they could have a chance not to starve to death when they had nothing.

You must know that not long ago, the imperial court swept them up. And now, they are starting to have a little extra money in their pockets.

There are many ways to make money.

You can go and cut firewood and sell it to the army, they need a lot of firewood every day to keep warm. They needed someone to clear the snow and keep the city clean, they needed someone to strengthen the walls, and they were paid by the day. Even if you don't want to do this, you can still be hired by those Ming merchants to carry the burden outside the major military camps to sell some small things, and at the end of the day, you can also earn the next day's food money.

The people of Pingtang County feel that life seems to be better than before.

After the news spread slowly, in the countryside of Pingtang County, there are also a lot of villagers, picking up some of the fresh and sparse produced at home to sell, at this time, naturally there will not be too many choices, radish and Chinese cabbage, but these things are more sought-after goods, not only the price remains high, but also do not worry about sales.

The arrival of the Ming army seems to have brought a different kind of vitality to this land.

Compared with the surprised and happy local people, the Ming army didn't feel anything special, they were just doing their part step by step.

Except, of course, today.

All the soldiers stationed in Pingtang County, at dinner, suddenly sent out an extra pound of meat, two taels of wine, and a reward of ten taels of silver per person.

The boss said that this was a special reward for the soldiers who were recruited abroad because of the Chinese New Year.

At ten o'clock in the evening, inside and outside the city, the cheers of Long Live were higher and higher, and the city walls of Pingtang County seemed to tremble in the tsunami-like shouts of the mountains.

This also allowed the people of Pingtang County to see the horror of this army for the first time.

Qin Feng quietly arrived in Pingtang County, and the 3,000 Agni Death Battalion led by Ma Monkey bypassed the garrison and entered the county seat, under the arrangement of the upper echelons of the expeditionary force, ordinary soldiers did not know that they were singing the praises of His Majesty the Emperor, and they were only a stone's throw away at this time.

The city had already arranged a large mansion of a rich gentry who had run away as the emperor's temporary residence, and the venue for the emperor's banquet for all the front-line generals was naturally set here.

The banquet in the army, naturally there will be no rare coincidences, Chen Zhihua's chef in the military camp acted as the chef of this banquet, nothing else, but the big pot dish is easy to cook, placed in front of the generals, a big bowl of meat, a big bowl of fish, full of portions.

The generals naturally didn't care about this, and Qin Feng didn't care either, because they were all used to days like this.

The only thing that kept the generals from taking their eyes off was the glass of wine on the table, which was as red as blood.

The glasses and wine bottles are all glazed, clear and transparent, very rare, and the wine, I heard that it comes from overseas, is very rare, even those super-rich people can't buy it with money.

And now, there is a bottle in front of everyone.

Such a big deal, not to mention some generals from poor backgrounds in the big tent, came from a wealthy family like Yang Zhi, and they were a little dumbfounded. It was the first time he'd seen anything like it.

What made the generals even more excited was that because of the rarity of this thing, it was difficult for many people to ask for a bottle, and His Majesty the Emperor actually gave them a bottle for each person. This value is what makes them pay more attention.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! Chen Zhihua stood up, held the wine glass in both hands, and raised it high above his head.

Inside the room, dozens of generals, large and small, stood up violently, turned to the place where His Majesty the Emperor was seated, and raised their wine glasses above their heads just like Chen Zhihua.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! ”

Qin Feng stood up with a smile and raised his wine glass: "Drink this wine together, I wish the generals a victorious start to the Japanese and show their majesty, do it!" ”

"!" Dozens of voices rang out, and the glass went to the wine.

Lu Feng smacked his mouth and sat down, this wine tasted very different from the wine he had drunk, it was worthy of being exotic, he licked his lips, and actually put the bottle of wine in front of him into his arms.

He sat very close to Qin Feng, and when he saw Lu Feng's action, Qin Feng couldn't help laughing: "General Lu, this cup and this wine bottle were originally meant to be given to you, so you don't need to hide them so early, right?" ”

Everyone in the room burst into laughter.

Lu Feng also smiled and arched his hand at Qin Feng: "Your Majesty, this wine is hard-won, the quantity is scarce, Lu Feng is enough to drink this cup." The sons and daughters under his command have never seen this rare thing, so bring it back and let them taste it too, and let them touch His Majesty's Longen. ”

As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent for a moment, and after a while, several more people carried the wine into their arms.

Seeing this situation, Qin Feng became even more happy: "Okay, good, it seems that everyone here has this meaning, then this wine, I will stay for you to take back, but it's a pity, as General Lu said, the number of this thing is too small, and it is impossible for every soldier to taste it." But there will be one in the future, so let's take a look at it first, and then we will make it accessible to everyone. General Chen! ”

"The end will be."

"Since everyone wants to bring this wine back and share it with their subordinates, then you can change the burning knife for us!" Qin Feng laughed and said, "But one person is only allowed to drink two bowls of burnt knives at most, if anyone gets drunk, I will beat his board." ”

The so-called burning knife is the liquor brewed by Daming, this kind of wine is also extremely precious, for many years, Daming has actually been trapped by food, and the food-consuming thing of winemaking has been prohibited, and only with permission can it be brewed. This kind of liquor is not allowed to be sold in the market, and after brewing, it is basically used in the military to treat wounds and disinfect them. Because doctors often dipped knives in this wine, lit them to sterilize them, and then operated on soldiers, so this wine is commonly known as burning knives.

In this icy and snowy place, burning knives is naturally more in line with everyone's taste.

Of course, this wine is also difficult to get in your mouth. The Ming army is strictly disciplined, even if it is a general, it is no exception. Now that His Majesty is speaking, one person and two bowls, how can these generals not be happy.

Two bowls want to get us drunk, hehe, moisten the throat, it's a little meaning! nt
