"Chief Instructor Zhang, why are you here?"

Zhang Hong was very respectful to Zhang Huangyan, and he admired this scholar who had no frame and was very brave.

"Zhang Yingguan, long time no see, hahaha!"

Zhang Huangyan was also very enthusiastic when he saw Zhang Hong, he was not the kind of scholar who looked down on martial arts. On the contrary, Zhang Hong, a bold and straightforward officer, is very much to his liking, and the two have drunk a few times in private.

"I came today to inspect the logistics and barracks construction as usual, and I also came to preach the truth of serving the country as a soldier and cultivate the spirit of the soldiers on the orders of the horses. The soldiers of the horses can't be like other people's soldiers, without a little spirit. Moreover, if I don't do some more things as a trainer, all of you will only use me as a logistics captain. Zhang Huangyan said and laughed again.

Since being recruited by Zhou Shixian, he and Xue Lao Er's partner, and his desire to serve the country has finally been realized, and the cooperation between the two is still very harmonious.

Looking at the thriving and ever-changing army, he was very satisfied when he thought that these soldiers and horses would defeat the Tartar Liukou and recover the northern rivers and mountains, and at the same time, he admired Zhou Shixian more and more, and understood more why these officers and soldiers supported this horse from top to bottom.

When Zhang Hong heard this, he smiled secretly in his heart: What country to report, we eat the food of the horses, receive the salaries of the horses, repay the kindness of the horses, and be the soldiers of the horses.

However, he didn't show it, and immediately nodded: "I see, the logistics and barracks are just old...... I, I've already checked, if Chief Instructor Zhang can trust me, he can directly preach that truth, it just so happens that they have just finished training and are resting. ”

When Zhang Huang heard this, he turned his head to see that on the flat ground, there were rows and rows of soldiers sitting densely, and after thinking for a while, he nodded and agreed to Zhang Hong's proposal.

Zhang Huangyan, accompanied by Zhang Hong, came to a simple platform on the flat ground, which was improvised by a dilapidated carriage.

Zhang Hong was on the platform, turned his head to look at the guards behind him, and the two guards immediately took action, one beat the war drums, and the other waved the military flag to the soldiers who were resting in front of him.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the soldiers who had been sitting quietly on the ground quickly moved up, and the sound of neat footsteps soon sounded, and rows of soldiers gathered together to enclose the platform, and the momentum was terrifying.

However, Zhang Huangyan was not surprised, it was not the first time he had seen such a scene, and the soldiers under Xue Laoer's command were no worse than Zhang Hong's. These are the reasons why he continues to strengthen his confidence in victory and admires Zhou Shixian more and more.

He knew that whether it was Xue Lao Er or Zhang Hong, they were just executors, although they were indeed excellent, but the most important thing was the colt who planned all this. If it were a different person, I am afraid that their talents would not be able to be brought into play.

Zhang Huangyan really couldn't imagine that at his age, he would have such a ability. Not only is the rectification of the imperial court a good hand, but the training of soldiers is also incomparable, it can be said that "both civil and martial arts are prepared", and it will definitely be a generation of Ming monarchs in the future.

Zhou Shixian has begun to rectify the Nanjing court with the support of Chongzhen during this time, and he has the support of Lu Jiude, an old goblin, behind him, and has mastered the black material of many people.

In the end, Chongzhen was worried that there would be too much involvement and the court was unstable, so he asked him to slow down for the time being, at least until the alternate officials found a complete assessment before making a move.

When Zhang Huangyan heard these news, the whole person was stunned, especially about Emperor Chongzhen's worries, worried that there were too many corrupt officials found out by the concubine, and there was no one available in the court.

"Chief Instructor Zhang, they have all gathered." Zhang Hong pointed to the soldiers near the platform.

Zhang Huangyan came back to his senses, looked around, then cleared his throat and shouted: "Soldiers, I am Zhang Huangyan, the chief instructor of the concubine, and I gathered everyone together today because the concubine asked the official to ask everyone a question on his behalf. ”

As soon as the soldiers in the audience heard that it was the horse who wanted to ask a question, they all pricked up their ears and cheered up, and their eyes were all focused on Zhang Huangyan's body.

Zhang Huangyan saw that his words had an effect, and he was happy in his heart, he had preached three times in Yangzhou before, and finally summed up the experience, as long as the horses were mentioned, these soldiers would be extremely enthusiastic and respond positively.

"The horse asks the officer to ask everyone, does anyone know why they are soldiers?" Zhang Huangyan raised his voice and almost shouted out to make sure everyone in the audience could hear it.

There was still silence in the queue around the platform, and they had been beaten and frightened for the past month, and they did not dare to speak without the permission of the officers. Moreover, most of them don't know why Zhou Shixian asked this, being a soldier and eating food is naturally to survive, what other purposes can there be?

However, there are still some people who look around, or raise their hands to answer, and they have become extremely qualified under the education of the military stick.

Zhang Huangyan saw that five people raised their hands, and then started from the one closest to him, pointed at each other and said, "Tell me, why?" ”

Huang Fa saw the chief on the stage pointing at him, he swallowed his saliva nervously, and then stood up with trembling legs, he was actually not very good at speaking, and he was not very bold, but he felt that he should speak, so he closed his eyes and did not look at people, and shouted boldly:

"For ...... For, in order to repay the favor of the horse, the horse, the horse is a good person, a good person, if there is no horse, my baby, my mother-in-law, and me, they may have starved to death. The horses gave us food and drink, and they had to build a house for us to live in, and they had to divide the land for us, there are no such good people in this world, how can there be such a good thing in the world, and we have all encountered it. I became a soldier to repay the favor of the horses. ”

The more Huang Fa spoke, the more excited he became, and in the end he didn't stutter anymore, and even as he spoke, tears had already dripped down, and his speech was not the voice of others?

They don't understand the righteousness of the family and the country, they only know that the Ming donkey really does what he says, and he doesn't deceive people. These are the most industrious and simple people, and they are also the people who know how to repay their kindness the most.

Zhang Huangyan looked at the eyes of many people below, and even some people were wiping their tears, and his heart was touched again, although he had seen such a scene many times, but he couldn't help but be moved every time.

Zhang Hong stood on the stage, and after listening to it, he scolded with a smile in his heart: "Dog's day, he can speak better than Lao Tzu." ”
