The dinner is still very rich, as usual, it is two taels of wine per person, although Houjin has withdrawn, but who dares to guarantee that they will not kill again, only when Houjin really retreats, everyone dares to let go of the worries in their hearts.

But having said that, the atmosphere of this dinner was still very good, and everyone seemed to be in a good mood under the victory, but Shen Shikui was an exception, he had no appetite for the dishes, and when he returned to the camp, he tossed and turned, and it was difficult to sleep.

He was lying on the bed, his eyes closed, but in his heart he was thinking about whether to merge with the Eastern Route Army, and he had a headache thinking about this question.

Merge or not merge, it seems simple, but there are too many things involved, the contradiction between their relatives of Mao Shuai and the generals of the East Route Army is not a day or two, when Mao Shuai is there, there is occasional friction between the two sides, and when Mao Shuai dies, this contradiction becomes more and more intense.

Thinking about so many things that have been experienced in the past two years, can the gap between the two groups of people be resolved in one or two sentences? It's that simple, why did the Dongjiang Army split and never get along.

To be honest, according to his previous thoughts, he was unwilling to merge with the Eastern Route Army, not to mention that the Eastern Route Army had an opinion of himself, just talk about the terrible supply of the Eastern Route Army, and he didn't want to mix with the Eastern Route Army!

What kind of life did they live before, they were almost as beggars, they often lacked food and clothing, not to mention military salaries, and even whether they could eat enough was a problem. As for his own Western Route Army, under his own control, he can still basically maintain the livelihood of the big guys by doing smuggling business.

If you ask your soldiers if they would like to merge with the Eastern Route Army, everyone agrees. That's unwilling, not to mention more, can't even guarantee a full meal, what else do you have to think about messing with the poor people of the Eastern Route Army.

Shen Shikui is still quite proud of his small life, although everyone's life is difficult, but the brothers are still more satisfied, the same is to kill the Tartars, everyone is more willing to mix under their own hands, in the past, their own soldiers of the Western Route Army were in front of the Eastern Route Army, but they had a sense of superiority.

This sense of superiority has been gone since Wang Dalun came to power. Originally, it stands to reason that Shangguan was newly appointed. As the commander, he had to pay a visit and be familiar in front of Shangguan but shen shikui didn t do anything in his opinion. The Eastern Route Army is a mess. Whoever takes over is unlucky.

But I didn't expect this mess to be rotten. As soon as Wang Dalun came to power, he vigorously increased the food of the soldiers, and I heard that he also ate meat every once in a while. Hear this. Shen Shikui's feeling is that he is bragging! Not to mention that if you can eat meat once or twice a year, this general is already very good.

Shen Shikui thought that the other party was bragging, probably slapping a swollen face and becoming fat, so he also told the news to his generals as a joke, everyone listened, and his reaction was the same, they all laughed so hard that they couldn't stand up straight, the group of people in the Eastern Route Army was simply too funny, they couldn't even brag!

When he heard that the other party had robbed North Korea's things, Shen Shikui sneered on the side, poor and crazy people can really do anything, and they don't think about the consequences at all, this is a self-cut back road, and in the future, North Korea will blockade the dead sea, isn't your Eastern Route Army slowly consumed to death?

So Shen Shikui is completely disappointed in Wang Dalun, in his opinion, this newly appointed chief official is not even as good as Huang Long, Huang Long can at least try to maintain this broken ship, Wang Dalun is going to completely sink the ship! will only brag and do things without thinking about the consequences!

At that time, Shen Shikui was ready, in case North Korea blockaded the Eastern Route Army to death, he saw that he was in the same vein, and he still had to support a little material, so he couldn't watch them starve to death. Of course, it is also difficult on its own, which is just the meaning!

But I didn't expect this follow-up development to exceed Shen Shikui's expectations, Wang Dalun actually took the initiative to hit North Korea, and he won! Just when Shen Shikui sighed that Wang Dalun was shit luck, he was unlucky and was beaten by Houjin.

At that time, he scolded Wang Dalun hundreds of times, this harmful spirit, you will die if you guard Lushun well, cause so much trouble, and end up hurting yourself to the top tank! At the same time, he also scolded Huang Taiji, how blind he was, Wang Dalun's back road was so empty, how could he beat himself if he didn't beat him!

What Shen Shikui didn't expect was that after Wang Dalun got the news that he was attacked by Houjin, he hurriedly withdrew his troops from North Korea and sent someone to answer him. Originally, Shen Shikui didn't expect Wang Dalun to be so generous and come to rescue him, at least he changed himself, he wouldn't do this!

The later experience made Shen Shikui feel that this time was changing too fast, not to mention that the rumors of the Eastern Route Army eating meat every once in a while were true, and today's performance of the Eastern Route Army also completely subverted his previous views on the Eastern Route Army.

In the past, like himself, he would only occasionally harass Houjin, and the Eastern Route Army, which fought and ran, was now reborn and completely changed, and dared to engage in a field battle with Houjin! This is too crazy, the Guan Ning army, whose conditions are much better than Dongjiang Town, dare not fight with Houjin Ye, but they dare now!

Thinking of today's battle, Shen Shikui felt a little excited and uneasy in his heart. He was excited, he didn't expect that the musket in the hands of the Eastern Route Army was so powerful, and it could beat the Tartars to the ground, it was not fighting, it was slaughtering! Watching the Eight Banners Army, who usually show off their might, throw away their armor, he couldn't help but feel excited in his heart!

His uneasiness also stems from this sharp firearm, as a commander, he is keenly aware that the musket will occupy a greater and greater position in the future, if his troops are not equipped, then the gap with the Eastern Route Army will be bigger and bigger, more serious, and will be completely eliminated!

But Wang Dalun made it very clear, if you want a new type of musket, no problem, but the premise is that you must merge, return to Wang Dalun's men, accept his orders, and obey his dispatch, otherwise, don't think about it!

"To merge or not to merge?" Shen Shikui, who was distressed, couldn't help but speak up, and he simply got up and decided to go outside and clear his head.

Shen Shikui walked out of the tent, was blown by the cool wind of the night, felt refreshed, and the whole person was much more sober, so he began to walk alone in the camp, checking the sentry or something by the way.

Now the night is a little late, the big guys are sleeping, only the soldiers on duty are still sticking to their posts, seeing themselves coming, the soldiers want to shout, but they are all stopped by Shen Shikui waving his hand, he motioned to go around and don't make a noise to affect the rest of the big guys.

When Shen Shikui walked to a tent, he heard the sound of someone talking, he frowned, wanting to remind the soldiers to go to bed quickly, so he walked towards the tent, and when he got closer and heard the topic that the soldiers were talking about, he dispelled the idea of speaking out and quietly approached to listen.

The questions that the soldiers were talking about had a lot to do with the questions that Shen Shikui was worried about, and I only heard that the soldiers were arguing about whether to join the Eastern Route Army.

"I think it's better to join the Eastern Route Army, now the Eastern Route Army is strong, look at their performance today, it's just amazing, you say that if I have a musket like that, can I kill ten Tartars to avenge my parents?" A soldier said wistfully.

"Do you want to say something else! Besides, what's the good thing about joining the Eastern Route Army, they usually don't deal with us, and they join the white eyes of others in the past! Another soldier immediately retorted.

"I think there are many benefits to joining the Eastern Route Army, not to mention more, how about our food for the past two days? Do you usually eat it? I heard that when I joined the Eastern Route Army, I can not only eat meat every once in a while, but I also heard that I can also get land in the future! "Another soldier joined the discussion.

"Let's not talk about eating meat, can you really have a chance to get the land?" Someone asked in disbelief that land was very tempting for soldiers whose families were ruined, and if they had their own land, they would be able to start a family and live a stable life.

"Really, I heard that some people have begun to immigrate to Shandong now, and those lands will be planted for a few years. And Wang Dashuai's rule has always been that if you are disabled or die, your family can have land, and there is a pension. If you have worked for ten years and don't want to be a soldier to eat food, you can still have a chance to get land! ”

"Really? That's great, I want to join the Eastern Route Army now, which completely relieves our worries! Wang Dashuai really didn't have to say anything to the soldiers under him, hey, it would be nice if Commander Shen could be like this! One soldier immediately said.

"Can Commander Shen have Wang Dashuai and be rich? Have the courage of Wang Dashuai? Look at it, it's only been a few days, and the gang of the Eastern Route Army have trembled, not to mention eating well and dressing warmly, they are now full of energy, and they don't want to die when they start a battle! Let me tell you, over time, Wang Dalun's achievements will be even greater than this, and it may not be possible to be a marquis and prime minister in the future! ”

"Really?"

"If you don't believe it, just wait and see, how old is Wang Dashuai now! So if I were the commander of Shen, I would join the Eastern Route Army without saying a word, and if I didn't say more, I would be able to seal my wife and cute son in the future! ”

Shen Shikui didn't want to listen to it anymore, he didn't expect that the soldiers under his command were more real than him, and more thorough than him, after listening to what the soldiers said, Shen Shikui had already made a decision in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that the problem he had been thinking about for many days was so ridiculous in the eyes of the soldiers!

Shen Shikui quietly turned around and left, now he was very excited, he simply didn't even go back to the camp, he came directly to Wang Dalun's camp, Wang Dalun had already slept, only the soldiers on duty at night looked at him vigilantly.

Shen Shikui didn't pay attention to the soldiers on duty at all, and he reported loudly: "Shen Shikui, the general of the Dongjiang Army, has something important to ask to see the marshal!" (To be continued......)
