Chapter 66 (Ask for Collection)
In the evening, the famous reward dinner was in full swing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Nearly 100,000 soldiers participated, and the momentum was very huge.
As the initiator of this dinner, You Jingyan spoke to these soldiers at the beginning.
The words were full of enthusiasm and greatly boosted morale.
Here's how it goes:
Soldiers! Warriors! The grand wish of a good man's life should be to sacrifice his life and forget his death for the country, throw away his head, sprinkle his blood, establish a great cause, and return to his hometown with this glory to glorify his ancestors.
This is what you are doing now, and when you return in triumph, it will be the day when this ambition will be realized.
Even if you die in battle one day, you will be considered to have died as a well-deserved death. for you died for the sake of millions of people under the earth. You are the heroes.
Although this is a bit high-sounding, who didn't have a heroic dream when they were young?
You Jingyan's words made these soldiers forget the pain of homesickness for a while.
At the end of the dinner, You Jingyan said: "Warriors, the weather is getting colder and colder, and most of you are southerners, so it is difficult for you to adapt to such a climate, let alone fight under such conditions. Right? ”
You Jingyan's words completely touched the hearts of these soldiers, and many people echoed it, and some of them were moved to tears.
Do you think, someone suddenly understands the pain in your heart, can you not be moved?
"Yes, yes, you can't fight in such a ghost weather, and sometimes your hands are so cold that you can't even hold your weapons steadily."
"I heard it will be colder in a few days, what can I do?"
……
The soldiers complained.
These hidden dangers are still minor troubles at this time, and if they are not taken out and solved on the surface, then sooner or later this kind of trouble will develop into a major problem.
You Jingyan and Xu Da glanced at each other, and then said to these soldiers: "I know this problem, wait until I discuss it with General Xu to find a suitable solution, and then reply to you, okay?" ”
Although You Jingyan's tone was ruffian and his attitude was a little careless, he had accumulated a lot of popularity among these soldiers at once.
These soldiers couldn't stand the cold in the north for a long time, but they were afraid of affecting the morale of the army, so they had to hold it in their hearts.
One or two are still within the acceptable range, if thousands of soldiers have this attitude, then is there still morale?
"Look at the attitude of Deputy Commander You, and then look at Commander Yang, whose eyes are old and tall, when did he put us people in his eyes. When did he, as a grain and grass escort officer, care about the food and clothing of us people. ”
The soldiers sitting around in front of the fire unconsciously compared You Jingyan with Yang Xian.
"It's just that he has no ability as a grain and grass escort officer, and he dislikes us for eating too much."
"When did he care if we could get warm?"
"I really don't know why the marshal replaced Deputy Commander You, what a good person Deputy Commander You is."
"You don't know yet, do you?" A very gossipy soldier whispered to the surrounding soldiers, adding fuel and vinegar to the story of how Yang Xian became this grain and grass escort officer.
It didn't take long for Yang Xian's reputation to stink in the army.
The crooked hit can be regarded as a favor for You Jingyan.
Although You Jingyan didn't know about these things that the soldiers discussed, for him, it was beneficial and harmless. Of course, he also likes to hear about it.
So he didn't pay attention to this kind of stealing discussion of the soldiers at all, but he didn't expect that this made Yang Xian even more resentful of You Jingyan.
As soon as he returned to the military tent, Xu Da mentioned to You Jingyan the question about the soldiers not being accustomed to the temperature in the north: "Jingyan, I also found this problem, but I have never found a suitable solution, and now is the critical period of the Northern Expedition, alas, this is a worrying panic." ”
Xu Da took off his helmet and threw it into the distance, looking a little irritable.
"General Xu......" Before you Jingyan could say what he wanted to say, he only heard a rough voice outside the tent.
"Spring is coming." Xu Da was also very happy when he heard this voice, and hurriedly got up to greet him.
You Jingyan didn't even move the nest.
Chang Yuchun and Xu Da hugged each other tightly as soon as they met, and after a long time of reminiscing, they remembered You Jingyan.
Chang Yuchun smashed a fist on You Jingyan's chest and complained: "Why are you not happy to see me at all, I came here for you." ”
Chang Yuchun was very dissatisfied with You Jingyan's coldness.
You Jingyan has a cold face and a warm heart, on the surface, he is cold to Chang Yuchun, but in fact, he is very moved by Chang Yuchun to come to see him.
When Chang Yuchun and You Jingyan greeted each other, Xu Da had already ordered the soldiers to bring wine and food.
"It just so happens that Lao Chang is also here, the three of us have a few drinks, we haven't sat together and drank for a long time." Xu Da beckoned Chang Yuchun and You Jingyan to drink together.
The three of them sat around and began to get drunk again, Chang Yuchun and Xu Da's personalities are very bold, coupled with You Jingyan's ruffian and informal personality.
Every three of them can drink to their heart's content, and when the wine game is over, Chang Yuchun and Xu Da are already drunk and unconscious.
You Jingyan, who had a good amount of alcohol, had to beckon the soldiers to go back to rest and patrol the sentry by the way.
You can't just drink a meal of wine and let the enemy attack at night, then you won't have to taste the loss, and won't you be more troublesome when the time comes?
The next day, after Xu Da and Chang Yuchun woke up, You Jingyan talked to them about the fact that the southern soldiers could not adapt to the weather in the north.
"Two generals, in history, many regimes attacking from the north to the south have often won, but attacking from the south to the north often have a great chance of failure." You Jingyan didn't sell it, and said what he wanted to express directly: "This is precisely because of the cold climate in the north and the inability of the southern soldiers to adapt. ”
"If this problem is not solved, I am afraid that something big will happen." You Jingyan said: "In a few days, the weather here will probably be even colder, and it is not an exaggeration to turn the water into ice." ”
You Jingyan, as a northerner, still knows a lot about the cold of the northern winter.
You Jingyan said that what he knew was the cold before the global warming caused by the industrial revolution, and I heard that in the past, the weather in the north was extremely cold.
It seems that there is no word to describe such a cold, it is estimated that it can reach minus 40 when expressed in degrees Celsius, and those southerners are estimated to be unbearable cold when it reaches zero degrees, not to mention 40 degrees Celsius.
