Chapter 1171: The Rise of the Republic XVII
Among Ma Zheng's offices, there are already dozens of tables. All the middle-level generals in the Lushun army who were not on duty were toasting and drinking in the tents that had been improvised in the courtyard. And Ma Zheng, Huang Zhisheng and senior officers of the Republican Army above the rank of deputy general, such as Chai Zong, Zhao Chen, Chen Jian, Murong Chen, Wu Yan, etc., just raised a glass and drank together in the flower hall. Drink only low-alcohol soju (not liquor), and not too much, so as not to get drunk and delay the military aircraft. The appetizers aren't very rich, but they're just fish, meat, kimchi, and so on.
The soldiers of the Lushun Army also got a meal tonight, including a few fragrant door oil hu cakes, a piece of pickled pork, a ball of kimchi, a small bowl of steaming mutton soup, and a cup of scalded turbid wine. It's almost the standard for the last meal before going into battle! It's a pity that tonight's meal is a Chinese New Year's Eve plus dish, and it is eaten for nothing, and there are no enemies of the republic to destroy after eating......
It doesn't matter if the veterans already have 200 acres of land, they are here to earn extra money anyway, and if they stay in Lushun for one more day, they will get one more day of military salary, and if they have the opportunity to go into battle to kill the enemy, it is just to earn a bounty.
By the way, it should be pointed out that the current military system of the Republican Army is only a class and a military merit, in fact, it is still an agrarian military service system.
For the soldiers and knights who have already obtained 200 acres or 1,500 acres, it is quite difficult to develop upward. Youzhou also does not have a twenty-level military merit title for them to rise one level higher. It is said that a military rank system is being drawn up, and there will be more than a dozen ranks, the lowest being the lower soldiers, and the most senior being the generals. However, this military rank system is not a military merit, and it does not leave too many opportunities for promotion for ordinary soldiers. Because most of the officers of the Republican Army are elites from military schools, there are not many opportunities for ordinary soldiers. For knights and soldiers who have made meritorious contributions, the main reward is money.
Therefore, the Youzhou warriors who have become knights and government soldiers are not very enthusiastic about the expedition away from home. However, officers from the Knight Academy are an exception, and they can rise through the ranks by virtue of their military merits, and it is also possible to become a general in the end. Of course, I'm motivated!
In addition to these professional officers, it is a group of soldiers who have not yet become knights and government soldiers who have stretched their necks and waited for the battle.
Some people are for 200 acres of land and the status of a citizen household, some are for love for the republic, and some are for getting extra points when they are "taking the imperial examination" (entrance to university). Their group accounted for the majority of the Lushun army, and their faces were tense at this moment, eating and drinking, while fantasizing about their masculinity on the battlefield, but they were also vaguely afraid.
Maybe the Khitans are very powerful, maybe they will sleep in the snowy north!
Monk Zhu Da and Monk Zhu Er are a little afraid, both of them are now "carrying big guns" government soldiers, but they have not yet gotten the land they dream of. Land has to be exchanged for military merits, first collective military merits, and then individual military merits - where to find land to divide without collective military merits? The land of Youzhou has already been divided! And collective military merit means bloody battles one after another.
If you want to be the landlord, you have to carry a big gun to grab it from the Khitans!
In the same party with the two of them, there were also veterans who served as gang leaders and chiefs, three poor middle peasants who dreamed of exchanging Khitan heads for land, and three primary school students from Tianjin.
Nashi's name is Zhang Dalang, a person from Yanggu County, Yunzhou, who was originally a tenant of the Ximen family, and followed the heroine Ximen Qing to the Jiehe Commercial Market, which can be regarded as "Yuancong". It's a pity that he doesn't have any big skills and no ambitions. It's just a guy now, but he has two sons who are quite promising, and he is in primary school in Tianjin, and he reads well, and he seems to be able to get ahead. His two sons were still young, so they did not join the army and were still studying.
The three elementary school students are classmates, all of whom are fifth-grade students at Dashokokuji Elementary School. Named Jiang Ruofeng, Feng Jie, and Wen Yang. They are all Du Guoliang's classmates, and Du Guoliang finally went to the front line!
Because his father Du Wenzhong was a step slower, and when he found his sister Du Wenyu, his son had already been loaded and shipped, so he could only wash his face with tears at home.
The three primary school students who love the republic were a little eager to try at this time, and asked Zhang Dalang about the battlefield experience.
Zhang Dalang had an indifferent expression, and said with a smile: "Fighting a war is a hard work, no different from carrying work for the Ximen family." Walking, lining up, and lining up with a spear on his shoulder, let the spear be flattened when charging, and rush at him. What's so hard? It's not difficult at all. As for you stabbing people to death, or letting people stab them, hehe, God bless! ”
Monk Zhu Er was listening and interjected: "I don't know when I can fight?" ”
"What's the hurry?" Zhang Dalang sneered, "Now hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides are crowded on the largest territory, are you afraid that you won't be able to fight?" Either you don't fight, or if you want to fight, it's a big war! ”
When he said this, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the tent, Jiang Ruofeng lifted the curtain of the tent, and when he looked out, he saw more than ten knights flying horses, galloping over the wide road in the middle of the camp, and heading straight for the gate of the Great Wall of Lushun.
Zhang Dalang also glanced at it, and then with a "huh", he said to himself: "How can you gallop in the camp?" Could it be that there is an emergency military situation? ”
It was Wu Yiyong and Wanyan Zongbi and others who ran back! On their way back, they fired a burst rocket into the air. However, tonight's wind and snow were too great, and the movement of the rockets shooting into the sky was too small to attract the attention of the Lushun Pass.
Therefore, Zhang Erdan, the crossbow commander who was guarding the gate of the city, was taken aback when he saw Wu Yiyong and the others, "What's wrong?" How do you gallop in the camp? ”
"Heaven is the only one!" Wu Yiyong drank a password, and at the same time took out the token and shook it, "Emergency military situation!" ”
Scout Knights have an emergency military situation!
Needless to say, it must have been an enemy attack!
Zhang Erdan hurriedly asked someone to move away from the rejection horse, and let Wu Yiyong and Wanyan Zongbi Pegasus enter the city.
After entering the city, Wu Yiyong and Wanyan Zongbi went straight to the Soldiers and Horses Department of Lushun Mansion, dismounted outside the office, showed the token, and shouted after finishing the password: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! "Run inward.
The generals, who were drinking merrily, threw away their glasses when they heard this shout, and came out of the tent with a hula and went into the courtyard, and their eyes were eager, and they all looked in the direction of the hall.
Wu Yiyong and Wanyan Zongbi had already entered the hall and began to report to Ma Zheng and Chen Jian.
Ma Zheng and Chen Jian both recognized Wu Yiyong. But he was not treated as a young master, and this is the difference between a republic and a monarchy. Even if he is the son of Wu Haogu, he is only a trainee officer now, and he hasn't even become a knight yet!
If it were a monarchy, with the identity of Wu Yiyong, he might be the titular commander of the Arthur Army now.
This is not necessarily a good thing for Wu Yiyong himself. Unless he is a genius like Li Shimin, suddenly occupying a high position, or simply confined to the mansion for pleasure, will ruin this manufacturable material!
And there is a precedent of Li Shimin, if the eldest son of a concubine like him is the son of a king, I am afraid that he will have to be a rich prisoner for the rest of his life.
The son of a king can't make the best use of his talents, let alone all living beings?
This monarchy has really come to an end!
Under the republican system, a "prince" like Wu Yiyong has the opportunity to work hard.
The republican system, at least nominally, emphasizes "the world is for the public, and the merit and ability are selected...... It's all for the public, what kind of concubines are there?
Maybe Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian will not leave most of their property to their eldest son Wu Yiyong, but the chair of "serving the citizens", of course, whoever has the ability will sit it. If you don't have the ability, you can't sit on it!
After listening to Wu Yiyong's report, Ma Zheng and Chen Jian were also a little impressed by Wu Haogu's eldest son.
At a young age, he went into battle twice, and his performance was outstanding.
It's hard to say whether he can be the successor of republicanism in the future, but the probability of becoming a generation of famous generals is still very high!
Ma Zheng nodded appreciatively, and did not say any compliments to Wu Yiyong, and strode out of the house directly, came to the courtyard, and said loudly to a group of officers with their necks stretched out: "The Liao army has moved!" Tens of thousands of troops came on the ice, trying to bypass the Great Wall of Arthur Pass! ”
"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Victory ......"
The answer to Ma Zheng is a cheer!
……
"Reason! Kill Hulu! Divide the field ......"
"Long live the Republic, defend the ...... of the Republic"
The sound of cheers soon resounded throughout the Republican army camp inside the Great Wall of Lushun Pass.
From the eyes of the Song and Liao, this army must have been made up of neurotics. Think about it day and night! Hear the war, then rejoice! I heard that the Liao people called, and they were all as happy as the title of the gold list.
The sound of cheers soon spread across the Great Wall of Lushun Pass, and reached the Bohai Nu and the Qian Han'er who had just finished drinking the corn paste. It scares them!
Chinese New Year's Eve! What kind of nerves do you have? If you want to work hard, don't fight today, can't you let everyone "grow" a year older?
"Ryoji, this, this, this...... The emperor was defeated? ”
Gao Yongchang, who was riding back to the front line with Ma Zheng, was also frightened. He had just watched the Khitan army set off in groups, and now he heard the cheers of the Youzhou army.
Could it be that the Khitans have already been defeated? That's too fast, right?
"Not so fast, right?" Ma Zheng looked at the sky, the heavy snow had already fallen, and a little stars faintly appeared in the sky, and it would be a good day to fight at night.
"But what are they howling?" Gao Yongchang asked in a trembling voice.
"They're happy!"
"Happy? Why? ”
Ma Zhi smiled bitterly: "Probably because there is going to be a war, so I am happy......"
"Crazy, huh?" Gao Yongchang showed a hellish expression, "They're all crazy, right?" ”
"It's not crazy, it's crazy!" Ma Zhi said, "Both crazy and crazy, not afraid of death...... Da Liao's qi seems to be exhausted. ”
"What shall we do?" Gao Yongchang was a little undecided.
"What else can I do?" Ma Zhidao, "Let's prepare for war...... Those who know the times are Junjie! ”
