Chapter 66: Wine Fighting (Ask for Collection)
Zhu Youzhen looked at this legendary famous general, his stature was not high, he should be less than the average height of a Ming man, his skin was pale, and he looked like a standard civil official.
However, in the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty, he was known for commanding troops. His gaze was very direct, and he didn't avoid Zhu Youzhen at all, just like a strong ray of light in the dark, which pierced others from the bottom of their hearts. Looking at Zhu Youzhen like this, he looked a little rude. But Zhu Youzhen didn't care about these details, Yuan Chonghuan was really a person who was informal, and did not avoid the powerful.
"General Yuan can, what kind of soldier is the most combative?"
"That's a disciplined army, of course." Yuan Chonghuan was very disdainful, he was a general who had been on the front line in Liaodong and fought with Jiannu Zhendao Zhen# Gun, not comparable to these old soldiers in Jingshi. Even Zhu Youzhen is just a little famous, and if he meets Jiannu, he is afraid that he will not have the qualifications to carry the quiver to others.
Zhu Youzhen smiled secretly, he was really loyal and upright, no wonder he was suspicious of the ministers of the court. People with this kind of personality have very strong assertiveness, and they have a hand in commanding wars, but they are difficult to get along with others, especially their superiors, who often don't like this kind of general who has no one in their eyes, no wonder the real Chongzhen killed him.
However, now that he has joined the Ming Dynasty, history must have changed, and he must protect this unruly general for the Ming Dynasty and give him room for development. He is like Li Yunlong in "Bright Sword", in the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty, such generals are especially needed.
"Platoon training is to cultivate the discipline of soldiers. If the platoon is trained, whether it is a parade or a battle, there will be no problems with the discipline of the soldiers. ”
"Your Highness......" Yuan Chonghuan wanted to say something more, but Zhu Youzhen interrupted him: "There is no need to discuss this issue, you just need to follow the "Soldier Training Manual" and "Soldier Training Syllabus" to let the soldiers meet the qualified standards. In the process of training, you will find the importance of queue training, and you are welcome to visit the Fenwu camp when you have time. If practice proves that this kind of cohort training does not have any benefit in improving the combat effectiveness of soldiers, I will revise the Training Syllabus. Zhu Youzhen didn't want the Ming army to be deeply branded as officers, or even become officers' private soldiers.
The training of a soldier is not the same as the training of an officer. The training of soldiers and the production of products in factories should be carried out on an assembly line to train a large number of the same soldiers in batches for the Ming Dynasty, while the training of officers, like handicrafts, needs to be handmade, and the number can be small, but each must have its own characteristics.
"Your Highness, the last general also does not agree to train soldiers in queues. The soldiers of the last general were all cavalry, and there was no need to learn the queue at all. "Just suppressed Yuan Chonghuan, and Man Gui came out again. He, a descendant of the Mongols, is still similar to the Mongols, and he has no dignity at all. Although Zhu Youzhen is a prince, he is too young, how can he compare with them, veterans of the Liaodong battlefield? I don't know what the military department thinks.
"General Man, a soldier takes obedience as his duty, and it also includes subordinates obeying their superiors. Now that I am the supreme commander of the Four Martial Battalions, you must obey my decision. "The Four Martial Arts Battalions were originally four independent battalions, all of which were subordinate to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Military Battalions, and Li Chunye made a commander in order to let Zhu Youzhen take over the Four Martial Arts Battalions. There is no commander at all, so Zhu Youzhen is now the supreme commander of the Fourth Martial Arts Battalion. Man Gui's commander is still sealed by Zhu Youzhen, of course, Zhu Youzhen's subordinates.
"But ......" Man Gui wanted to say more, but Zhu Youzhen also interrupted him, "Not only the four martial arts battalions, but all the officers of the Ming Dynasty will study in the military academy, and the content of learning is the same as the training content of the current four martial arts battalions." "In terms of the content of the training, Zhu Youzhen will not give in, Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui and others are excellent generals, but they just have their own characteristics and rely on their respective personalities to command the troops. The soldiers commanded by this method have good combat effectiveness, but the soldiers only recognize the generals in their eyes, and do not know that there is a court, and it is easy to form a small group.
Zhu Youzhen wanted soldiers loyal to the country, so their method of commanding troops could not be extended to all Ming troops. For these generals, what Zhu Youzhen wants is their ability to command troops and their strategic vision, and as for the soldiers, it is better to produce them on the assembly line.
The meeting was obviously unsuccessful, and Zhu Youzhen's thinking on administering the army was very different from that of these liberals in Liaodong. But several of them have already accepted Zhu Youzhen's appointment, that is, Zhu Youzhen's subordinates, and Zhu Youzhen is still the prince, so they have no way to object. "Your Highness, the wine and food are ready to stop, so let's sit down first!" Zu Dashou is the commander of the Yaowu Battalion, and he is considered the master, and when he saw that the atmosphere was not right, he was ready to transfer the battlefield. After speaking, he smiled knowingly at Man Gui and Yuan Chonghuan.
Zhu Youzhen also felt that the atmosphere was very different from his imagination, and these generals from Liaodong were not right with him. However, the Han people often say that many important decisions are made at the wine table, "the wine is big, and the sun and the moon are long in the glass". It seems that if you don't clean them up at the wine table, the military discipline in the future, not to mention the soldiers, even these commanders, I am afraid it will be difficult to restrain them. "Okay, there's General Rauzou."
The gathering of civil officials in the Ming Dynasty, or the banquet given by the emperor, was a separate meal system, and everyone had a dish, a wine jug, a wine vessel and a pair of chopsticks in front of them. But now it is in the barracks, and the soldiers are not as particular as the civilian officials. As a result, there were two tables, one table for Zhu Youzhen, Man Gui, Yuan Chonghuan, Yang Du, and Zu Dashou, and one table for the rest of the Wei commanders.
"His Royal Highness is young and can command the four martial arts battalions, and his subordinates really admire him. His subordinates saluted His Highness a cup. Yuan Chonghuan held a large bowl of water and wine and signaled to Zhu Youzhen. Looking at Zhu Youzhen's age, I am afraid that it is not as good as his own wine age, and if this big bowl goes down, the prince, who was very strict just now, may not be able to sit steadily. Take the lead yourself, or wait for Man Gui's ramming goods to make a move, and you won't have a chance.
"General Yuan is from Liaodong, and he is really bold. Well, this king will drink this cup. Zhu Youzhen did not show weakness, and he and Yuan Chonghuan came to the bottom of it.
Yang Du, Man Gui, and Zu Dashou also paid tribute to Zhu Youzhen. After four glasses of wine, Zhu Youzhen has not tasted the taste of food. A couple of bastards, in the end, are soldiers, and if you want to pour yourself, you don't have to be so obvious. Zhu Youzhen began to tilt his neck: "A few generals, drink the wine slowly, this king has not tasted the craftsmanship of this Yaowu camp cabinet!" ”
"That's, that's. Your Highness, please eat, let's drink slowly. "Zu Dashou played a round and drank in Yaowu Camp, how can he be regarded as a master. At the same time, taking advantage of Zhu Youzhen's opportunity to eat vegetables, he exchanged glances with Man Gui and Yuan Chonghuan again.
"We serve in the Four Martial Arts Battalion together, that's fate. Come, I'll have a drink. Zhu Youzhen began to shake his head, but the wine in his hand could still be held steadily.
"Okay, let's do it." Man Gui smiled proudly, with the amount of alcohol he had, he could also knock down this prince who would make a fuss on the belly of the palace maid.
And the empty jars on the ground gradually multiplied. Man Gui stretched out his big foot and lightly stepped on Zu Dashou's foot. Zu Dashou said: "It's rare to get together with His Royal Highness, this wine doesn't taste right." Come, on the distilled spirits. ”
Daming's distilled spirits are already very common, but because of the additional processes, the price is relatively high. The alcohol content of distilled spirits is close to the level of later generations.
Zu Dashou filled the five people with distilled liquor, and Zhu Youzhen picked up the wine first and sniffed it in front of his nose: "This wine is good." Clear and mellow, sweet and long-lasting. Come, let us drink together. Zhu Youzhen laughed secretly in his heart, a few bastards, if you want to yin me, let's drink together to see who pours first.
The five of them had a drink together. Man Gui was secretly surprised, he had already drunk a lot of this wine, Zhu Youzhen had already shaken his head, and he couldn't speak well, his face was so red that he could fight with Guan Gong in the temple, but he just didn't fall. It seems that I have to work harder: "Your Highness, I admire a literati like the prince the most." I respect the prince again. ”
Zhu Youzhen's eyes didn't seem to be able to open, and he had to squint at Man Gui: "Man Gui, who has heard about Xuanfu for a long time, has a straightforward personality. How did you get to Liaodong and learn to bend and wind? Why do you always toast me, do you want to pour this king down? ”
"Your Highness, how dare we?" Man Gui opened his big mouth, and his black throat seemed to be able to swallow a whole Mongolian fat sheep. "Come, come, generals, let's all drink."
As a result, the five of them drank another drink. These two cups of distilled liquor are half a catty. Coupled with the wine drunk earlier, Yuan Chonghuan, who was born in the literati, was not good, and with a "bang", he fell to the ground. Fortunately, the soil in the room is relatively soft, and if it is replaced with a hard cement floor, I am afraid that a concussion will be light.
"Go down, go down. You're a civil official, and you still want to fight for wine. "Man Gui Yue Yue Dai Dai, the personal soldiers who commanded Zu Dashou helped Yuan Chonghuan to the back to rest, the language was full of disdain for civil officials, where is it like what he just said, the most admired literati? However, Zhu Youzhen was also dizzy and didn't hear it at all.
There are four people left, just opposite each other, and no one will be idle when drinking. After a while, Yang Du also fell. But he fell much gentler than Yuan Chonghuan, didn't touch the ground at all, and smashed his head on Man Gui's thigh.
"Go, spoil. That's why it's like this, and it falls, which is like a general, and when he goes to the battlefield, it must be tofu. Man Gui scolded as if in his heart, an excellent officer was judged by the amount of alcohol. The greater the amount of alcohol, the stronger the fighting power. If this is the case, Jiannu doesn't have to fight, there are so many Han people, find a few people who have a lot of wine, and just kill them on the wine table.
Man Gui's eyes rolled, and he suddenly made a discovery: "Your Highness, this drinking is like our Mongolian wrestling, you have to eliminate them one by one, and the remaining one can reach the top." ”
"Huh? Interesting. General Man can still drink ...... when he drinks Drink your thoughts. Come, drink again, and see what new experience the general has in mind. Zhu Youzhen took the lead, and the remaining three continued to drink.
Zu Dashou, who is still a little sober, also has an experience, no! Zhu Youzhen is still so young, not like a person who is tested by alcohol, why is he just drunk all the time and does not fall? "Your Highness?"
Zhu Youzhen just smiled: "General Zu is no longer strong enough to drink?" ”
Man Gui's big mouth immediately sealed Zu Dashou's back road: "Come, drink." Daju is by no means tofu. The soles of his feet stepped on Zu Dashou's feet again. Zu Dashou had to dry the cup, but before the cup was put down, the person went down first, spread softly on the wet ground, and he didn't feel the sound of "coo", I'm afraid it just hurt in the heart of his own soldiers.
"Your Highness, it just so happens that there are only two of us left, and it happens to be the final." Man Gui soon had another experience.
"Okay, drink." At this time, the language of both of them was very concise, except for drinking, a qiē was superfluous.
"Again...... Again...... Come, Temple...... Under. I...... Certain...... No...... Yes...... Lose! Man Gui couldn't find the wine glass, and his mouth was still chattering.
Zhu Youzhen said to the soldiers who had been serving beside him: "General Man hasn't drunk yet, you can help him." The soldier looked at Zhu Youzhen, and went up very bravely, and sent a full glass of wine to Man Gui's mouth. This glass of wine, because of the repeated twisting of Man Gui's body, at least half of it was sprinkled on the ground, but it was enough, and Man Gui, who drank the last half of the cup, finally lay on the table, muttering like a murmur in his mouth.
Fighting with my brother, my brother has drunk the fairy soup of Wuling Mountain, and has suffered a night of rain and dew from a light rain.
