Section 37: Infighting

Under the feudal hierarchy, the lives of ordinary soldiers are like mustard, and these soldiers as consumables are just some numbers on paper, and there are not many pensions anyway, as long as the vacancy of the generals is replenished, everyone will be happy. Of course, in any army, soldiers are actually consumables, but Huang Shi attaches great importance to veterans, and he remembers seeing the theory in his previous life that one veteran is worth five recruits. Similarly, Huang Shi remembered that in his previous life, he called the loss of the formation the heaviest loss, and the loss of a large number of veterans caused great damage to the army, and this damage would even be called a "broken backbone" injury.

The battle of Nanguan left the fire battalion with nearly 300 casualties, and more than 100 infantry in their early 100s who died or were disabled. But the rest of the soldiers have been trained in the war, and many of them have already fought three or four battles, and they will be qualified non-commissioned officer materials. Huangshi had already planned to let the remaining 1,600 soldiers bring 2,400 recruits, so as to expand his new army on Changsheng Island into two battalions.

Silently weighed the pros and cons in his heart, if he listened to Sun Chengzong's construction, Huang Shi knew that he could undoubtedly get a lot of materials, as well as Sun Chengzong's trust and better fame, and the benefits seemed to be these three points.

On the other hand, there are three drawbacks: first, Huang Shi is worried that the level of the army will decline sharply, and he is afraid that he will have to retrace the road of the past year, not to mention the question of whether the Houjin army is still willing to cooperate with his own training. The second is that his prestige in the army may be affected, and Huang Shi has always been able to bring most of the soldiers home safely since he started the army, which makes him deeply loved and an important source of Huangshi's prestige. The last question is...... How long can this old grandson work in Liaodong?

All in all, Huang Shi knew that he had to choose one of the "prestige of the government and the opposition" and "military strength", which actually asked him to choose a path between "giving up his small family to protect everyone" and "damaging the public and private interests". Or take Yue Fei's road, or take Yuan Shikai's road.

"Elder Ge who will do his best, please rest assured. Huang Shi had already made up his mind and immediately invited Sun Chengzong to inspect the fire battalion and several other troops, and Sun Chengzong happily accepted the invitation.

"Pavilion Elder, please see that there are already two thousand iron armors in my fire fighting camp, and this is all the strength of Pavilion Elder. Huang Shi had already made up his mind to preemptively thank Sun Chengzong with a sincere face: "The elder of the pavilion is the last general, and he has good words in front of the saint. As a result, the saint pulled out another thousand iron armors, and the victory of Nanguan relied on these iron armors to save the lives of hundreds of soldiers. ”

Hearing that Tianqi was so obedient this time, Sun Chengzong also smiled, but he immediately thought of the Beijing trial last year, and a large number of his idiot Donglin fellow disciples had already been dismissed, and the Guangning fiasco was also determined to be retried. After touching his heart, the smile on the corner of Sun Chengzong's mouth froze suddenly. The old man's face also looked a little miserable.

The Donglin Party's consistent struggle strategy is to denounce all dissidents as traitors, and the eldest brother of the Donglin Party, Zuo Guangdou, has a famous saying: "If you are not the same way, you are the enemy!" Anyway, the Donglin Party always felt that the sky was falling, and Sun Chengzong was carrying it, at first, Wei Zhongxian was afraid of the power of the Donglin Party, and he also gave Zuo and Yang Yijin, but he was also proudly rejected by the Donglin Party. Next, the Qi, Chu, Zhejiang Party and many officials of the wall-riding faction were all half killed by the Donglin Party, and they all defected to Wei Zhongxian in order to keep their future, and after the Donglin Party showed their knives at Wei Zhongxian, the so-called eunuch party officially appeared on the political stage. This eunuch party was not so much a group with political ambitions as an anti-Donglin party alliance closely united around the core of Gonggong Wei. If you have to say that the eunuch party has any political ambitions. That is, "We must defeat the Donglin Party!"

Of course, these Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang parties who took refuge in Wei Zhongxian were scolded as "shameless villains" by the Donglin Party. As far as Huang Shi is concerned, he can understand the anger of the Donglin Party very well, and the current shape is similar to the company Donglin Party, Qi Party, and Zhejiang Party in his previous life, all of them are senior white-collar workers of Daming Co., Ltd., all of whom have worked hard for many years to come out with a master's degree or a doctorate. At the very least, there are also large diplomas, so many elites have nothing to do, and it is understandable that they engage in infighting.

However, the Qichu and Zhejiang parties obviously did not have gambling products, and now they can't play the Donglin Party, and they began to cheat. So what kind of thing is Wei Zhongxian? It's just an uncle who cleans the house of Mr. Zhu Youxiao, the chairman of the board. Not to mention the physical disability, he is still an illiterate person who has not graduated from elementary school, but now he is about to ride on the head of the Donglin Party's class of doctors and masters, and play prestige, these elites naturally hate it, and naturally look down on the group of scum colleagues who go to hug the illiterate uncle's thick legs.

It's a pity that the Donglin Party didn't remember that Wei Zhongxian was not only the uncle who poured the toilet for the chairman, he was also Zhu Youxiao's father. What's more important is that in the five years since the Apocalypse, the Donglin Party has not listened to anything except for Sun Chengzong's hard work in Liaoxi, and the people who stayed in the capital have not listened to anything. Chairman Zhu Youxiao felt that he was just getting a salary and not working anyway, so it was better to use his own dad! At least this salary was saved.

According to the unwritten rules of Daming Co., Ltd., infighting takes fighting until the other party resigns, and if you are ruthless, it will be a foul. But Uncle Wei is not an employee, he is a dog of Chairman Zhu Youxiao -- eunuchs have no human rights. Therefore, the Donglin Party has always wanted to send Uncle Wei to the guillotine, and now Uncle Wei is also unforgiving, and he is bent on killing the Donglin Party. At the moment, the Donglin Party only shouted wildly: "Wei Zhongxian, you have overdone your defense!" while hurriedly looking around for political achievements, wanting to use them to save Zhu Dong's heart.

It's a pity that in the five years from the first year of the Apocalypse to the sixth year of the Apocalypse, the Donglin Party did nothing serious except for the collapse of Xiong Tingbi and the connivance of Wang Huazhen and the loss of the entire Liaodong. Mao Wenlong has been slashed by more than 2,000 levels, and now with Huangshi, a traverser, joining the Dongjiang River, his record has almost doubled compared to history. Moreover, in the original history, the number of Dongjiang soldiers was mainly killed by guerrilla warfare, and the results of field battles were less than thirty percent, while in the plane of Huangshi, the results of field battles of the Dongjiang army had been five percent of the total. This is not even counting the results of the Battle of Nanguan.

Because the Donglin Party in the two provinces of Leiden never regarded the GIs as human beings. Day after day, the materials of Dongjiang Town are "floating", so Dongjiang Town and Shandong Wenchen Group have deep grievances. Mao Wenlong stubbornly refused to share the fruits of his victory with them.

The Donglin Party, which was in power, had never been able to reap any benefit from the victory in Liaodong, so the Donglin Party desperately hoped that Liaoxi would have a plausible victory, or that some credit would be drawn from the Dongjiang River...... Sun Chengzong also hopes so.

After inspecting the fire camp, Huangshi pulled out the two battalions of Xuanfeng and Jiezi and Shang Kexi's water camp.

Geng Zhongming was the first to jump out: "The lowly Mao Youjie came to see Master Sun." ”

Sun Chengzong saw that this young military general had a loud voice and thick eyebrows. Looking at the age, it is also similar to Huangshi...... Of course, Huangshi can't be compared, but it is not easy for Geng Zhongming to be mixed into the rank of governor and lead the new barracks at such a young age. Sun Chengzong also liked it very much in his heart, so he personally encouraged him a few words.

Geng Zhongming was naturally flattered, how could he have had the opportunity to talk to the emperor of the dynasty. He bowed again and again, and his helmet hit the ground with a chaotic sound: "Lord Sun's teachings, keep in mind that the humble duty will definitely do his best to kill the thief under the command of Lord Huang, please rest assured." ”

By the time Geng Zhongming stole the limelight, Shang Kexi had been on the sidelines. Finally, when Sun Chengzong walked in front of him, Shang Kexi hurriedly made a big salute, and couldn't wait to boast to himself: "Humble position, Mao Kexi commanded the water camp of Changshan Island, but he was the first to come to reinforce Lord Huang, and the humble position brought three hundred elite soldiers, all of whom were trained by the humble position, enough to beat a thousand and five rabble, and lose their armor." ”

At first, Sun Chengzong smiled and said a few words "good", but when he listened to it, he felt more and more that it was not a road number. When Shang Kexi said something to a thousand and five rabble, he glared fiercely at Geng Zhongming next to him, who also glared back viciously, Shang Kexi sneered and continued: "When I came to Jinzhou, I also cut the fifteenth rank and captured two sea ships. Burning 100 warships of Jiannu. Lord Huang allocated 200 pairs of lowly armor for this merit. He has the courage to admit that he is not a shameless villain. ”

Shang Kexi is closer to the image of an ordinary military general in Wenchen's mind, and he can't hide anything in his heart. And Huangshi is more similar to what Wenchen called a Confucian general. Therefore, Sun Chengzong didn't think it was wrong, he looked at Huang Shi slightly, and Huang Shi also nodded lightly. After Sun Chengzong, who knew what to expect, finished the review, he asked Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming to go to the banquet together, and deigned to toast the two young people, bluffing these two people who had never seen the world, and said again and again that they would definitely help each other in the same boat and would never tear each other down on the battlefield.

The current officers of the Election Battalion are not qualified to accompany Huang Shi at all, and they are intended to be used as urban garrison troops first, and the Field Election Battalion, which has lost the officer corps, has almost zero combat effectiveness.

After the banquet, Huang Shi asked the internal guard to arrange for Sun Chengzong to stay, and he was Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming continued to chat at the dinner table, and after Sun Chengzong left, there was a layer of membrane between them, and the two of them were hot when they promised not to tear each other down, and after this blood went down, they felt that they were still very hostile to each other.

How do you get two people to fight? That is, to imply to these two people that they will support him. Huang Shi thought about it for a while and asked Geng Zhongming: "Brother Mao Youjie, what's going on between you and Brother Mao Kexi?"

Geng Zhongming squinted at Shang Kexi, who had already slapped the bowl on the table and sat precariously waiting to hear Geng Zhongming's reply. Geng Zhongming thought about it for a long time, and felt that it seemed that it was better not to completely fall out at this time. I'm afraid this kind of scene is not what Lord Sun Chengzong and Lord Huang in front of him, who just left, want to see: "Hui Huang, Lord Huang's level is Mao Yongshi, Mao Dusi's distribution place, I'm afraid that Brother Mao Kexi and Brother Mao Yongshi have some misunderstandings." ”

Shang Kexi had already inhaled enough breath and waited for Geng Zhongming's words to fall, and then shouted: "There is no misunderstanding, I said in advance, we ambushed you and pursued you, and in the end, you owed my eldest brother and my fifty grades and did not give it, it was obviously you who bullied us by relying on your relationship with Mao Yongshi." Three hundred and sixty-one grades, your brother and Mao Yongshi each took one hundred and fifteen to give us sixty bodies, and finally deceived our father-in-law and said bad things about us!"

Geng Zhongming's face suddenly blushed like the green tendons on Guan Gong's neck, and they all exploded angrily: "How can there be such a thing? Obviously, you think that you can be lazy after making an appointment, and when you see Jiannu running away, you don't chase those levels, all of which Lao Tzu worked hard to retrieve." Why should I give it to you? Brother Mao Yongshi's punishment is clear, and it would be good to give you sixty bodies. If we hadn't concealed it from your father-in-law for your brothers......"

Shang Kexi threw the bowl at Geng Zhongming, and Geng Zhongming flexibly dodged the blow, and did not forget to finish the last sentence: "You two should have been put into the camp with arrows a long time ago." After finishing speaking, he saw that Shang Kexi had already fit and pounced, Geng Zhongming flipped the table to block Shang Kexi's full strength, and then bounced up from the stool and pounced back.

When Huangshi's internal guards pulled the two people away, the two of them desperately stretched out their legs and kicked at each other. After being ripped apart for a long distance, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming were still screaming and scolding each other.

Huang Shi's face sank like a big bluestone in the water at this time, and he slapped the table fiercely: "Mao Youjie, Mao is happy, do you two still have a general in your eyes?"

The two people were startled, and quickly knelt down to apologize, Huang Shi scolded two more words, and then pointed at Shang Kexi and shouted: "I will have the heart to resolve it for you, I don't want you to dare to be so rude in front of the official!"

"Brother Mao Yongshi was originally a friend of the general's Jinlan. It is a righteous brother who is willing to entrust life and death, and I will never believe that Brother Mao Yongshi will cheat for personal gain. ”

The more Huang Shi spoke, the more angry he became, and finally shouted: "Mao Kexi is a supreme official." Drag me down left and right and beat forty military sticks. ”

Hong Antong led people to ramen, Shang Kexi, who was like ashes, and Geng Zhongming knew that Huangshi and Kong Youde were once friends for eight worships, and Shang Kexi only lamented in his heart that he came from Liaodong and Liaonan still fell into the hands of the enemy. When Huangshi's internal guards moved the forks, Hong Antong kept staring at Geng Zhongming. Seeing that he also reacted, he kicked him again.

After being kicked lightly, Geng Zhongming shuddered, and then he came back from the emotion of meeting his relatives, and he looked left and right. Seeing that no one noticed Hong Antong's small movements, he hurriedly knelt down on one knee and pleaded for Shang Kexi: "Dare to ask Lord Huang to calm his anger, this is the time to employ people, this matter is also at fault, if Lord Huang must be punished." Even the lowly position will be punished together. ”

Huang Shihu pretended to be posturing for a while, Geng Zhongming naturally beat the snake, and pleaded earnestly for Shang Kexi, his expression was very anxious, and his tone was even more painful. It's as if his friendship with Shang Kexi is so deep.

Seeing that the play was almost done, Huang Shi waved his hand to let go of the internal guard, Shang Kexi, and after everyone returned to their seats, Shang Kexi was naturally as honest as a toad who was shocked by thunder. After a while, Shang Kexi also felt bored, so he found a fault and asked to leave, and Huangshi didn't let him go.

"Brother Mao Yongshi and I are lifelong friends, from Sancha River to Lushun, life and death along the way. After Shang Kexi left, the atmosphere between Huang Shi and Geng Zhongming became warm again, and Huang Shi told Geng Zhongming a lot about the experience of the two people, which made Geng Youming surprised and delighted. With such a favor, he will naturally mix well in southern Liaoning.

Kong Youde and Huangshi worshipped, Kong Youde never said it, because he still had a faint sense of injustice in his heart, and always felt that he should not be left behind so much by Huangshi, who didn't know anything back then. This time the incident in southern Liaoning suddenly happened, Geng Zhongming was called by Mao Wenlong, and when Kong Youde came to southern Liaoning, Kong Youde was still on the Kuandian front, so Geng Zhongming didn't know anything about the personal relationship between Huangshi and Kong Youde.

After asking Geng Zhongming's age, Huang Shixian was less than a year older than the other party. He smiled and said, "In the future, we will be called brothers between you and me in private." ”

This kind of gang formation is very common in the army, although Geng Zhongming is the son of Mao Wenlong, and he seems to be more related in the Dongjiang headquarters. But Mao Wenlong has adopted four or five thousand orphans, and his identity as a righteous son of Geng Zhongming does not seem to be worth much. And Huangshi is like the rising sun in the Dongjiang Army, and now he is faintly ranked behind Chen Jisheng, the captain of the old soldiers, and has become Mao Wenlong's second right-hand man, and his subordinates want to make merits, and they are the first person in Dongjiang except Mao Wenlong, so Geng Zhongming is busy to accept it. It is really a good thing to be able to have a good relationship with a general like Huangshi.

The two of them became much closer in the subsequent conversation, and Huang Shi said to Geng Zhongming: "This time I pressed Mao, but I am glad that you intercede for him, he will owe you again, and I will definitely not embarrass you in the future." ”

Seeing that Geng Zhongming wanted to express his gratitude again, Huang Shi finally smiled and asked him not to be polite anymore: "You can rest assured that you are here, Mao Yongshi is my eldest brother, and his brother is my brother." ”

"Mao Yongshi is my eldest brother, why should I give Mao Youjie a face. "Send internal guards to escort Geng Zhongming away, and Huang Shi slipped away to appease Shang Kexi. He patted his chest and said, "Since my brother Mao Yongshi owes you fifty bodies, I will make it up for you this time." Just look at my face and don't embarrass them......"

On February 17, the fifth year of the Apocalypse, the official road in the north of Jinzhou was now the Jin army.
