He Kegang, Zu Dashou, and Cao Wenzhao in Liaodong Town, Kong Youde, Zhang Pan, and Mao Chenglu in Dongjiang Town, and Sun Yingyuan and Zhou Yuji in Jingying.

There are also Sun Zushou, the general of Jiliao Town, You Shiwei, the general of the Jianchang camp, You Shilu, the martial artist, etc., as well as Qi Xianzong, Qi Zhenzong and others who were drawn into martial arts.

Glancing at the generals present, Zhu Youxiao smiled, but he was full of emotion in his heart.

There was something he was familiar with, of course, from memory; Some of them are less familiar, but they know a little bit about it.

If history has not changed, people like He Kegang, Cao Wenzhao, Zhang Pan, Sun Yingyuan, Zhou Yuji, Sun Zushou, and the You family brothers all died on the battlefield and shed the last drop of blood for the Ming Dynasty.

But now, these famous generals will embark on a completely different path in life.

I have given everything that should be given. Whether you create glory or fall is up to you.

Zhu Youxiao raised his glass and said loudly: "All the ministers are my loyal and brave generals of the Ming Dynasty, and they should fight for the country and resist insults, this is their duty, and I won't say much." ”

After a pause, Zhu Youxiao continued: "Today's banquet is not only to commend the ministers for their good training, but also to serve the generals who go to the border. This first cup of wine, I and Qing and other martyrs who defended the country and sacrificed their lives on the battlefield, the heroic souls are immortal and immortal. ”

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn, and the generals got up with the emperor and spilled the wine in their cups on the ground.

Zhu Youxiao sat back on the throne and once again picked up the wine glass filled by the palace people, and his clear voice echoed in the hall.

"This second cup of wine, I and Qing and others respect all the people in the world. You must know that the food in your mouth, your clothes, and the silver in your hands are all the people's fat and people's ointment, and thinking about the suffering and hardship of the people, you must resist the enemy and protect the country and the people. Come, respect for all the people! ”

"To the people of the Ming Dynasty!" The crowd will raise their glasses and drink them all.

Zhu Youxiao just took a sip, and when he saw that the generals' wine glasses were full, he raised his glass with a smile, "This third glass, I respect all the secretaries here." I hope that Zhongqing will succeed on the battlefield, build the wolf Juxu's merits, and win the honor of the prince and the marquis, and benefit future generations. ”

"For the name of my Ming Dynasty, the name of the general, Shenhe!" Zhu Youxiao raised his glass and drank it all.

Some of the generals didn't know how to say congratulatory words, Sun Chengzong raised his glass with a smile and said: "Congratulations for the Holy Son of Heaven, congratulations for Daming, congratulations for the famous general!" ”

"Congratulations for the Holy Son of Heaven, congratulations for Daming, congratulations for the famous general!" Only then did the generals toast in unison, and a smile appeared on their faces.

Zhu Youxiao laughed, showing his joy, and raised his hand and said, "You don't have to be formal, eat and drink to your heart's content." A soldier must have a bold spirit and a free and easy attitude. ”

"Long live the feast." After the generals thanked him, they sat down to eat and drink, but they didn't dare to be too profligate.

Zhu Youxiao knew that this would be the case, and he was not prepared to stay longer. But there's another process, and it's important.

Beckoning with a smile, Zhu Youxiao called the generals to come forward in turn to answer, first of all, Sun Zushou, the general of Jiliao Town.

Sun Zushou is tall, handsome, with a long beard and floating chest, with the demeanor of a Confucian general, and he is also a full ancient beautiful man.

Hearing His Majesty call his name and stretch out his hand to beckon, Sun Zushou was a little flattered and hurriedly stepped forward to pay a big salute.

"Sun Qing doesn't have to salute fully, just give a military salute."

Zhu Youxiao raised his hand with a smile from Hexi, and after Sun Zushou greeted him with a military salute, he said in a harmonious voice: "Sun Qing is both civil and military, and he is honest and self-disciplined, I am very pleased. ”

Sun Zushou hurriedly bowed down and said: "It's all the duty of Weichen, long live the award." ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "It is a common problem in the army that the armament is lax, the people's morale is weak, the punishment is not strict, and the order is difficult to carry out. After Sun Qing was transferred, he must put things in order with an iron fist, get rid of outdated conventions and bad habits, and make the officers and men under his command come up and down. ”

Transfer?! Sun Zushou was a little puzzled, but he still respectfully responded and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Weichen will do his best to strictly regulate the military style." ”

"Be bold and do it, I believe in you." Zhu Youxiao raised his hand to signal, took the wine glass from the palace people, and stretched out his hand to hand it to Sun Zushou, "Please Sun Qing drink this cup full, don't live up to my hopes." ”

Sun Zushou almost shed tears, from the birth of a martial artist to the promotion to a general, how long and how much difficult, just because he was upright and never flattering.

Now, long live the sentence "believe in you", the sentence "do it boldly", and the sentence "don't live up to hope", and the grievances you have suffered before are nothing.

Bowing down to take the wine glass, Sun Zushou drank it all, and bowed down again, "Weichen thanks Your Majesty for your favor." ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled and watched Sun Zushou bow and retreat.

The sound in the hall was not loud, and no one dared to make a loud noise, and they were careful when eating and drinking.

Zhu Youxiao's voice sounded again, "Zhang Pan, come closer." ”

Zhang Pan took a deep breath, stood up and bowed, and stood respectfully at the bottom of the stairs.

"Zhang Qing is literate and hyphenated, and several of the proposals submitted to the military department are well written. It is very rare to be able to share weal and sorrow with soldiers. Zhu Youxiao praised: "This time back to Dongjiang, we should make persistent efforts and make new contributions." ”

"We're listening to the oracle." Zhang Pan bowed and replied: "Back to the Dongjiang River, you should fight bravely to kill the enemy to repay the king's kindness." ”

Zhu Youxiao groaned and said: "Zhang Qing is kind and not easy to kill, this is a good quality. However, we must be careful, and carefully screen the refugees and the Han army, and do not easily integrate into the army. I sent Jinyi Guards in Dongjiang Town, and they will do the screening in the future, and Zhang Qing should pay more attention to his own safety. ”

"Weichen can save it, thank you for Your Majesty's concern." Zhang Pan heard the meaning of concern, but he didn't know that he was planted on too benevolent and righteous.

Zhu Youxiao took the wine glass served in the inner service and handed it to Zhang Pan, "Zhang Qing, please drink this cup to the fullest, I am waiting to hear the good news of your victory." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Pan knelt down on one knee, took the wine glass with both hands, drank it all in one gulp, got up and retreated.

Zhu Youxiao's eyes were focused on Zu Dashou, his smile was slightly restrained but returned to normal, and he greeted with a smile: "Zu Dashou, come closer." ”

…………

In the army, if the commander can call out the name of a soldier, he even knows the origin of the soldier. That is equivalent to appreciation, which will make the little soldier feel proud of being valued, and will puff up his chest proudly.

The scene is similar now, the emperor calls the names one by one, beckons the generals to him, or encourages, or reminds, or looks forward to earnestness, and then rewards him with a glass of wine.

Such a favor and such a trust made the generals excited and excited. I can't wait to rush to the battlefield now and sell this life to the emperor.

Zhu Youxiao wanted this effect, seeing that it was better than expected, not to mention how comfortable it was.

At the end of the process, Zhu Youxiao got up and said with a smile: "I'm here, everyone is uncomfortable, and I can't drink heartily!" Then I went back first. ”

Sun Chengzong hurriedly got up and led the generals to bow down and send each other, "Long live the ministers." ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said to Sun Chengzong: "Master Sun is old, so you should drink less wine." ”

As the secretary of the Ministry of War, the officers in charge of these generals naturally want to accompany them and give some explanations.

Sun Chengzong bowed and said: "Weichen can save it, and Your Majesty Xie cares." ”

Zhu Youxiao bowed slightly, turned around and walked out of the main hall, and returned to the Qianqing Palace.
