Mr. Yan's words made Yao Wenzhong and Zhang Guangyuan, who were at the end of the road, feel that they were both confidants who had no ambitions, and successfully pulled everyone away.

Meng Yishan was very happy when he saw that the two generals had agreed to join him, and that the attempt to subdue the harrier soldiers had been achieved. He said earnestly: "Two generals, the wounds on your bodies must be healed quickly, and I will find Lang Zhong." ”

Yao Wenzhong immediately waved his hand to stop: "It doesn't matter if the two of us are still, it's just that the brothers have been hungry for a long time, can you let them eat first." ”

"Arrange it now!"

Hundreds of soup pots were set up, the firewood under the pots crackled, the flames were red, and the large pieces of mutton chops and lamb legs in the boiling soup were boiled up and down, exuding bursts of meat aroma.

Meng Yishan slaughtered a total of fifty lambs for the harrier soldiers to eat, and took a hundred urns of old wine, ready to let everyone drink happily.

After a while, the boiling white steam of the soup pot fills the air, mixed with the aroma of cooked lamb and spices, and the smell is appetizing.

Yao Wenzhong gathered the soldiers together, and did not announce the opening of the meal, he said with a somewhat gloomy expression: "Brothers, Yao is ashamed of the deceased Ma Junmen!" Let everyone lack food and clothing, I, Yao Wenzhong, am incompetent......"

The soldiers lined up neatly, but their expressions were mixed, and many people had tears in their eyes.

Yao Wenzhong eased his emotions and said, "From now on, Lord Meng will lead us. Everyone's food and salary are guaranteed. ”

"Half a month later, we will also participate in the big competition in the army, and fight against the elite soldiers of the Honor Guard Division!"

"Do you have faith?" Yao Wenzhong asked.

"There is ......" a thousand harrier soldiers shouted a little weak, dissatisfied with the salary and food, it would be good to have this spirit, and everyone's attention would be on the mutton soup that was boiling in the pot.

General Yao was not very satisfied, but nodded reluctantly, and the expected slogans such as "I am invincible" can't be shouted anymore, you have to let people eat first. The low-level soldiers couldn't remember the last time they smelled meat.

Now the entire Ming Dynasty's military households are poor, and the imperial court's salary itself is difficult to pay enough, their group of people is still a guest army, and there is no field to plant in the military tun of the Luoyang Guard, and the original outcome should be divided up by the hundreds of households in the local guards, and they are reduced to the officers who farm called Huazi.

In many places, the military registration is even worse than that of the poor tenants in the township.

It is better to be a scholar than a halberd.

Yao Wenzhong reluctantly said, "Okay, let's eat." Alcohol should be banned in the army, but this time an exception is made, everyone has fun! ”

The soju in the urn was opened and the mud seal was opened, and the aroma of the wine was mixed with the aroma of meat, and the soldiers gathered in front of the soup pot, scooped up the mutton and munched on it.

This large camp was stationed with tens of thousands of Luoyang troops, and the soldiers of the other teams were seduced by the aroma of wine and meat in the air, and the greedy worms in their stomachs rushed outward, and they could only watch these harrier soldiers who were still prisoners yesterday eating there.

Yao Wenzhong sat with everyone and drank together, but his injuries were not light, and he could only drink lightly, not to the fullest, which made him feel very unhappy.

Zhang Guangyuan didn't care about the external injuries on his body, and found Lao Meng with the wine jar, General Zhang was not very convinced of Meng Yishan, and now he has become Lao Meng's subordinate, and he can't be superior on the battlefield, and he has to be defeated in terms of alcohol.

Master Meng proudly slapped open a large wine urn, took an empty wine jar and filled it with wine, and said to Zhang Guangyuan: "General Zhang, let's use the jar to drink, whoever uses the bowl is a bastard!" Let's draw a fist, and if you lose, you will drink three sips first! ”

"Good!" Zhang Guangyuan responded, poured a sip of wine first, and then punched Lao Meng.

In the first round, Lao Meng lost, he happily grabbed the wine jar and drank three sips, and drank half of the wine in the jar at once.

"Refreshing!" Zhang Guangyuan praised.

The two drank and fisted, and in a blink of an eye, the two jars of wine had already been eaten, Zhang Guangyuan grabbed a piece of mutton from the pot with a ruddy face and took a big bite, suppressed the wine, raised the wine jar again, and said heroically: "Come again!" ”

Meng Yishan smiled unchanged: "Okay! Dry! "Raise your head like a whale sucking water, and drink a jar of wine in one go.

Lao Meng and Zhang Guangyuan drank wine to the altar, and they all drank ten dozen into their stomachs, and when the empty wine jar on the ground increased to eight, General Zhang was already lying on the ground and couldn't get up, drunk and unconscious.

Meng Yishan relied on his profound internal strength, and his luck resisted the drunken incoming him, and he barely kept his senses. Rao is like this, and he also feels that his stomach is tumbling, and he is so uncomfortable.

The harrier soldiers gathered in piles of three or five, drinking and eating meat together, laughing and making noise. It's been a long time since everyone has been so happy, and their spirits are all uplifted.

Lao Meng looked at them with high spirits, thinking that he would lead this team in the future, and it would not be good not to get acquainted with the soldiers, so he immediately sat down next to a group of soldiers, grabbed the mutton with his hands like everyone else, and tore his belly.

The soldiers were talking and seemed to be quite active. When he came, he immediately became very reserved. It's a bit like I can't let go.

Meng Yishan widened his eyes when he saw this, and scolded angrily: "Grandma's! Why have you become the little lady of Huayuelou, and you are still shy when you see Lao Tzu? ”

Several people laughed for a while, and even said no, and the organic spirit hurriedly poured a bowl of wine and respectfully gave it to Lord Meng.

Lao Meng picked up the porcelain wine bowl, drank it in one gulp, raised the empty bowl and said to a few people: "Come on, drink!" ”

A few soldiers drank wine with honor, and after a few bowls of wine, they felt a lot more cordial to this fierce-looking Lord Meng.

Drinking a lot of wine, eating a lot of meat, and speaking loudly, Meng Yishan quickly dissolved into the soldiers,

He got into the crowd, drank until the glass was dry, as if a thousand glasses were not drunk, and fought with the soldiers one by one. Gradually, his underwear was soaked with sweat, and his innate true qi worked spontaneously, and the wine he drank was forced to sweat and drain it, and it quickly dried up.

After a short time, he was full of wine, his clothes were fragrant with wine, but his eyes became clearer. In the past, he was already drunk, and it was impossible for him to force the alcohol out so thoroughly.

Lao Meng was surprised and looked at it for a while, and found that his cultivation had improved again. It turned out that he had fought with Wu Chang to the end yesterday, and he was almost on the verge of exhaustion, and the true qi of the "Panzhou Samadhi Dafa" that the old monk Guangqin had passed into his body spontaneously operated, transmitted to the meridians that had almost dried up, and combined with his original true qi for drive.

After the competition, those who have not been exhausted, the true qi from Guangqin, will lie dormant at the Tanzhong acupoint, only in order to drive away the power of alcohol, the qi travels through the hundred veins, this innate true qi from the Buddha is stimulated like a snowball, the true qi in Meng Yishan's body is taken away every time he turns around in the chest, and gradually all of it is turned into the meridians.

Without this competition, he would have refined this Buddhism true qi in the near future, but taking advantage of this opportunity, it was equivalent to entering the realm half a month early, and after a hundred days, his internal strength would be a different scene.

Drinking actually improved his internal strength, and Meng Yishan drank more boldly with everyone under his pride.

Everyone admires Lord Meng's massive amount in their hearts, and they also feel that this Lord Meng is not a good person, just like these low-level soldiers, he is easy to talk rudely, and he will wipe his sleeves when his hands are stained with oil.

How to look at Lao Mengdu and these rude soldiers are very temperamental.

Mr. Yan looked at Meng Yishan with a wry smile, he really couldn't do it like Lao Meng, first of all, the big bowl of wine gave him a headache, and he ate meat with his hands, so he couldn't follow suit.

The weather was cold, everyone ate outside, so a bonfire was lit by the stove, and the fire was roasted nearby, and a lot of cold was expelled, but Lao Meng found that many soldiers were thinly clothed and did not have a single cotton coat. A little farther away from the fire, he shivered with cold.

Meng Yishan stood up silently and took off his leather robe. In the past, he was draped on the body of a soldier who was choking on the cold, and the soldier forgot how to respond in shock, and pressed his hand on his robe, and said, "My lord! ”

"Put it on!" Lao Meng said to him.

Meng Yishan turned around and looked at the soldiers who were surprised by his behavior, and said slowly: "Wait until you've eaten!" Everyone went to the camp to find the quartermaster, and each person received half a penny and a set of cotton clothes! ”

The soldiers rejoiced! I feel that Master Meng is really thinking about them. Affection for the new Commander has grown.

Yao Wenzhong came over and said, "My lord, aren't we temporarily assigned to the military camp, will the quartermaster not give us food?" ”

Meng Yishan said with a smile: "If you don't take some compensation, brothers, thank you!" This is what Liu Li owes to everyone. If you don't give it, grab it, smash open the warehouse and move it for me! ”

"I will give you a share of your salary, and I will ask for a share of the guard's camp over there, and I will also take a share of the camp here, and I will open a double salary!" Lao Meng Scar said with a smile on his face, "After taking the things, remember to write a receipt for collection!" Don't let people treat us as bandits and robbers, and stab us to the top, but it will ruin Lao Meng's name. ”

Everyone shouted loudly, saying that they must not embarrass adults. Yao Wenzhong and Zhang Guangyuan agreed with Lao Meng, the first order of the new commander, from the bottom of their hearts: "Grab the battalion and the quartermaster's station!" ”

The so-called "extremely vicious", this group of people dared to mutiny in a hurry, and what was it to smash a grain warehouse. What's more, this time with Meng Yishan's support, there is no fear.

A thousand sets of winter clothes, plus a few hundred hanging money, are just a drop in the bucket in Meng Yishan's eyes, he just wants to encourage the harrier soldiers to make a fuss and let out a sigh of resentment.

Lao Meng happily said to the harrier soldiers: "Brothers, everyone follows Lao Meng to mess around, there is no other benefit, and in the future, I will ensure that the wine and meat will continue every month!" Double the military salary! and those who were wounded in battle were given silver, and each household that died in battle was given five taels. ”

Meng Yishan's promise to the harrier soldiers was too generous, and the treatment in the Luoyang army was unprecedented. It would be good for ordinary military households to have food and clothing, but if they are disabled, they are not far from waiting for death.

Lao Meng's words successfully boosted the morale of everyone, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, not to mention this kind of heavy reward in the eyes of the harrier soldiers, you can definitely work for it.

Meng Yishan promised benefits, and said in a changed voice: "But there is one thing, you can't be afraid of death!" Whoever does not go into battle will not listen to orders! Lao Tzu cut him eight pieces to feed the dogs! ”

"Lao Meng is happy today, and he drank a little too much. Don't care, guys. Come, drink, I salute the brothers! He picked up the bowl and took another sip.

The harrier soldiers had mixed feelings in their hearts, worried that in the past, General Ma was brutal in governing the army and killing people at every turn. Although this Master Meng doesn't know much, it seems that he can't do well in his hands.

Lao Meng's words are no one to treat as drunken lies. The harrier soldiers felt that he had clear rewards and punishments, but they were convinced. If he blindly indulges in generosity, this group of people will look down on him.

Everyone then drank wine and ate meat, Lao Meng pulled Yao Wenzhong to his side and said to him: "General Yao, I plan to let the brothers go back to reunite with their families for two days, and then gather together to practice the day after tomorrow?" ”

Yao Wenzhong said with a moving expression: "It's about to be a big competition, is there enough time?" ”

In his heart, he also preferred to let the soldiers rest for two days, but he was afraid that the lack of training would delay the capture of the flag.

"Don't be afraid, it's too late." Lao Meng said with concern: "Didn't Lingtang fall and be injured yesterday, the general must go home to see!" Ginseng tonic, I will ask someone to get anything missing. ”

Yao Wenzhong nodded slowly. This kind of popular words, no matter what Lao Meng's purpose is, General Yao still thanked Meng Yishan.

When the harrier soldiers heard that Lord Meng was going to give everyone a three-day holiday, the group was boiling! The cheers rang out.

The hearts of the people in the barracks are fluctuating, and the soldiers of the Luoyang Army are envious of these harrier soldiers who have a good backer, that is, they have money to take. You can also go home to visit relatives, but I didn't expect them to mutiny and make such a good thing.

Compared with the two, Liu Li is too bad at being a man, he is a blood-sucking bastard, and he is as generous as Lord Meng.

For a time, everyone praised Meng Yishan in their hearts. Liu Zongbing was taken captive after a mutiny, and his prestige has fallen to the bottom.

The soldiers began to toast with Master Meng in turn, and Lao Meng was happy that he no longer forced the wine, but drank a bowl of genuine wine into his stomach, and within a while, he was a little drunk.
