I’m The King Chapter 1128: :Continuing the past and opening up the future (18)
Xie Dong walked up to Dong Zhuang with two iron boxes, and handed one of them to him. This iron box is the individual equipment that the army has just issued. In the bag, a special place was designed for this kind of rice bowl. Dong Zhuang sat down on the ground full of mud, without any shelf for a teacher, unscrewed the lid, and took out two round bowls from inside, one inside It contains vegetables, one is soup, and the bottom one is put two big steamed buns.
Looking at Dong Zhuang raising his eyes and looking around, Xie Dong smiled and said, "Master, don't worry about it, everyone is the same. I really didn't play tricks on this. First, I didn't know that the master came to inspect today. Second, We have always been like this, and there is no need to cover up."
Dong Zhuang nodded in satisfaction, "That's right, Xie Dong, you're doing well here, the army's logistics is very lucrative, I don't want to see you planting on it=pig=pig=island=novel= www=zhuua=Fall, you must know that what our king hates the most is corruption. The last time a regiment leader from Dongye fell down on it. He is a guy with illustrious military exploits. When I joined the army, he was the battalion commander, so he killed him without saying anything."
Xie Dong said solemnly: "Teacher, don't worry, I will never stumble on this."
Dong Zhuang took a bite of steamed buns, raised his head, and looked at the long white clouds in the sky: "We both came from hard backgrounds, and we are poor guys, but the more people we are, the easier it is for us to have problems , I don’t want to live a hard life anymore, but our current salary is high enough, if there is a problem with it, it will not be considered human. The large number of barracks you built here, the last time the Ministry of Finance came to audit, there were no problems. It really added a lot of light to me, you know, the other two divisions of our New First Army have more or less problems."
"For those corrupt guys, they should be killed!" Xie Dong took a sip of the soup and said viciously.
"That's right, kill him!" Dong Zhuang nodded vigorously. As a general from a poor background, he hates corruption from the bottom of his heart. Going to the second and third regiments for a while, there is no battle now, but the training should not be relaxed. Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime. This is easy to say, but it is difficult to do. Veterans hate training. I am willing to fight, I know that, but you can’t think like this, you don’t have strict training, and when it’s time for war, if you relax your body for too long, you won’t be able to get nervous even if you want to.”
"My subordinates will keep in mind the teacher's instruction!" Xie Dong put down his rice bowl and said respectfully.
"Teach me a fart!" Dong Zhuang said with a chuckle. "We are both big bosses, and you still chew on words, so you can't make people laugh."
After hearing this, Xie Dong also laughed.
The two stopped talking, and both lowered their heads to concentrate on destroying the food in front of them.
At the gate of the barracks, a horse came galloping, whispered a few words to the sentinel at the gate, did not get off his horse, and went straight to the school grounds. Hearing the sound of horseshoes, Dong Zhuang raised his head. Stand up.
"Mr. Dong, the military department is in a hurry. All the soldiers of the New First Army have entered the state of war. Commander Zhang called you to Suiyang for a meeting immediately!" An adjutant.
Dong Zhuang threw the rice tube in his hand into Xie Dong's arms, his face showed excitement, "We are going to fight. Xie Dong, immediately order your troops to enter the state of war, Yu Qing."
"Here!" A guard came out behind Dong Zhuang.
"You immediately go to the second and third regiments to send orders. Let Wang Yao and Zhou Yanbing make all preparations."
"Yes!"
Suiyang was originally just a small county on the border, but as the headquarters of the New First Army chose Suiyang, it has almost become a large barracks. The headquarters of the New First Army and the soldiers directly under it It is almost half of the population of the entire county. With the entry of these soldiers, Suiyang's economy has also jumped to a new level. A large amount of supplies poured in, and many businesses followed in the footsteps of the army. A little-known town.
When Dong Zhuang hurried to Suiyang, it was already the evening of the second day after he received the order. He finally arrived at the time stipulated by Zhang Hongyu's order. He let out a sigh of relief At the same time, Dong Zhuang also found that Suiyang was different from the previous ones. The soldiers coming and going showed nervous faces and hurried footsteps, while horse-drawn carriages drove into Suiyang City from the outside of the city. Obviously, this is a material that was transferred later.
"Report!" A loud voice made Zhang Hongyu look up from the piles of files on the big case, and when he saw Dong Zhuang, he laughed loudly: "I knew it was Dong Manzi who arrived first, You are stationed the farthest, but you are the first to arrive, when Cui Chengxiu and Gao Chengdong arrive, I will criticize them properly."
Dong Zhuang stepped into the door with a grin, "Then the two of them will surely knock on their subordinates for another meal when they turn around. The subordinates only have this salary and have to support their families. The commander should not criticize them. "
Laughing, Zhang Hongyu came out from behind the case, and beat Dong Zhuang's chest vigorously, "Dong Manzi, you haven't fought for half a year, how is the morale of your troops?"
"Well, Commander, when the soldiers heard that they had entered the state of war, they all screamed with excitement!" Dong Zhuang said: "Compared with training, these boys are more willing to fight!"
"Your division has a relatively large proportion of recruits, can the training keep up?" Zhang Hongyu pulled a chair over, pushed Dong Zhuang on the chair and sat down.
"Commander, training is definitely not a problem, but you also know that recruits, no matter how well trained they are, will have to go through a process of adaptation when they go to the battlefield, but it will be fine after one battle." Dong Zhuang said .
Zhang Hongyu nodded, "That's right, no matter how good the training is, it can't compare to walking on the battlefield. I can rest assured that you Dong Manzi will lead the troops."
"Dong Manzi is here first." An annoyed voice came from outside, the two turned their heads together, and saw Cui Chengtou, the commander of the other division, and Gao Chengdong, the commander of the second division, walking over hand in hand, Gao Chengdong had a look of displeasure Angry, "Dong Manzi, your station is the farthest, what are you doing so fast? I lost a meal to Lao Cui!"
Hearing Gao Chengdong's words, Dong Zhuang laughed loudly: "Brother Gao, you have been fooled by A Cui. He has made a plan with me. He will delay your schedule. I will hurry up. We just earn your money." Zhang Xi met, you still bet with him, but make it clear, I am willing to admit defeat, I am going to eat this meal."
"Dong Manzi, I haven't seen you for a few months, you've turned bad!" Cui Chengxiu jumped in front of Dong Zhuang at once, "Stop trying to provoke dissension, when did I get into a relationship with you, it's obviously my plan Wushuang, I know that when you hear that there is a war, you jump up and down more happily than anyone else."
"Alright, alright, since everyone is here, let's have a meeting!" Zhang Hongyu waved his hand.
"Commander, are you going to attack the people of Chu this time?" Dong Zhuang said impatiently: "At the beginning, we shouldn't have stopped halfway. It's better to start early than late!"
"Shut up, you are the one who can judge the king!" Cui Chengxiu on the side said angrily: "You barbarian knows nothing but fighting, do you think the king didn't want to take advantage of the victory to pursue it? At the end of the crossbow, fighting is not about driving the soldiers forward. Do you know how much military expenses are spent every day once the war starts? How much is it worth for every arrow shot and every knife broken? It's money."
"I don't care about that, I just charge forward, as for other things, the army commander will consider it." Dong Zhuang laughed.
"Commander, where are we going to fight this time?" Gao Chengdong asked.
Zhang Hongyu walked up to the map and poked his finger heavily on a point, "Pengcheng, this time we will take Pengcheng, cut off the channel between Xuzhou and Chu, and then swallow Xuzhou in one gulp."
"Good guy!" Gao Chengdong exclaimed: "If you don't move, you'll be fine. If you move, you'll swallow a state in one gulp. Commander, I'm afraid Chu State won't let it go."
"Qin and Chu are at war!" Zhang Hongyu sneered and said, "Zhou Yu suddenly launched an attack in Nanyang County and occupied Sui County, an important military town on the border of Chu in one fell swoop. Counterattack, so our chance has come.”
"It's strange. When we signed an agreement with the Qin people, we asked the Qin people to join us in attacking Chu. On the surface, the Qin people agreed, but in fact they have been dragging their feet. Why did they suddenly move this time?" Cui Chengxiu is a little strange.
"There are some things that you didn't know before, but at this point, with your level, you don't have to hide it from you. Something happened to our Dahan's Yizhen Research Institute. An important person in charge of gunpowder formula research The researcher was kidnapped, and it was Tan Feng who did it, but now he is controlled in Jiangdong County of Chu State, Chu State does not want to hand over people, and Qin people naturally do not want to lose their wife and lose their troops, so they sent troops to threaten. Hey, a Mao It’s not bad to have provoked a war.”
"Yizhen Research Institute? Doesn't that mean our country's great killer has also been taken away by them?" Gao Chengdong changed his face.
"The big killer depends on how to use it?" Zhang Hongyu said disapprovingly: "Anyway, as far as I know, the king is not in a hurry, and I can also tell you that our big man has already researched a more powerful weapon , Starting tomorrow, the troops will be initially equipped. The gunpowder is not so important."
"New weapons will always be the first to equip the Young Guards, we don't have to think about it, as long as I get a few hundred catties of fried red, I will be satisfied!" Dong Zhuang said.
"You have a good idea!" Zhang Hongyu said with a smile: "The output of explosives is not high now, and the king has no idea of using it in the army immediately. We still have to rely on our own strength. This time, Dong Zhuang, take your third division as the vanguard, Cui Chengxiu’s first division will launch behind Dong Zhuang as the second wave of attack, and Cheng Dong’s troops will serve as the reserve team to deal with possible unexpected situations.”
