Chapter 915
Yang Sichang felt superior to Hong Chengchou. His background and family background were better than Hong Chengchou in all aspects.
What's even worse is that Hong Chengchou had a great grudge with the Chinese army. He didn't have many choices, but Yang Sichang was different. He could bet on both sides with freedom of advance and retreat.
Now that he saw the Chinese army in private contact with Hong Chengchou, he was not calm now, and he was worried about giving the other party a heavy bet and despising himself.
Hong Chengchou also knew that the other party had such concerns. Now he was already concerned about the Chinese army, so he naturally thought about the Chinese army everywhere. Hong Chengchou said: "I feel the kindness of the Chinese army. The Chinese army tried every means to clear the wrongs and restore the innocence of a certain person. Now that I have removed this crime, I can finally be a person openly."
He then told the case of the Hang Yin in Haikou, which was about to be tried by the Chinese army.
Yang Sichang was also a smart person. He knew that the other party had made this case and poured dirty water on the dead Zhu Dadian. This was to pick Hong Chengchou out. This was to use the other party's intention. Otherwise, why bother to slap this power? He was a little envious. The Chinese army had used so much energy on Hong Chengchou, so naturally they wanted to get some rewards.
Hong Chengchou sighed: "It's a matter of this. I'm going to go home to serve my mother and never become an official anymore. Since the 44th year of Wanli, I have been traveling outside and unable to serve my parents. I'm very unfilial. Don't you see the bright mirror in the high hall and the white hair is as grief as the morning and the evening is as white as frost, and I'm afraid that one day, my son wants to raise his mother but his mother is not here."
Yang Sichang knew that the other party was just saying something to show his filial piety and justice. No one in the world does not do anything to support his parents. Being an official can bring honor to his ancestors and be better filial to his parents.
Yang Sichang knew that the Chinese army should have a good price for this man, which convinced him that he would serve the Chinese army. Since the other party remained silent and refused to disclose it, he could do nothing.
He could only say in agreement: "Brother Hong is indeed a filial son. It is admirable. Being able to know Brother Hong is a pleasure in his life."
Hong Chengchou is in the midst of a tremendous change in his life, and he cannot help but sigh in his heart. He said: "Brother Yang is talented and has the ability to govern the country and pacify the world. Since Zhu Ming is already in a mud, why should he hang himself from a tree? We have been studying hard for ten years to assist the emperor, which is like creating a prosperous era and benefiting the people of the world. If Brother Yang lets this unique skill be buried in vain, it is not a blessing for the world." These words were heart-wrenching.
Yang Sichang had no doubts. If the other party had not given a huge price, how could Mr. Hong start to say that the in-laws’ family was good before he had passed the door?
At this time, the Ming army had prepared more than a thousand people. They did not wear combat uniforms or weapons. Under the leadership and accompanying of Jingyun Gong, they left the Ming army camp and went to the Chinese army camp for dinner.
General Zu Kuan came to Hong Chengchou and said, "I don't know if these thousand brothers have gone, can they go back?"
Hong Chengchou said, "What nonsense? Can the Chinese Army still eat these people? Does the Chinese Army have a big picture and can occupy the world?"
Zu Kuan's words were actually just a test. He was always serving Jingyun Gong, and he wanted to shine his shoes for him. However, he kept paying attention to Hong Chengchou's actions, but found that Hong Chengchou had a secret conversation with the deputy envoy of the Chinese Army for a long time.
Not to mention anything else, he found that before Hong Chengchou entered, his face was pale. After he came out, his face was blushing and he was filled with joy. It must have been the Chinese army that nourished him, but he was probably the Chinese army. As soon as he tried this sentence, he knew that the other party had already had a position.
Zu Kuan is a very smart person. As a general who leads troops, he is more pragmatic. To put it bluntly, he is a mother who has milk and a father who has money. He has been following Hong Chengchou and has been doing very well. Seeing that the big tree of the Ming Dynasty is about to fall, everyone goes back to their own houses and finds their own mothers. How can they find a good father? This is a technical job.
Zu Kuan was thinking that even scholars like Hong Chengchou had already joined the Chinese army. I am a martial artsman. What should I hesitate about? If a soldier is a mother, he will be a mother. Then he will change.
But he had another concern, that is, what kind of responsibilities can he do after going to the Chinese Army? Can the military power still be there, and whether the wealth and honor can be preserved?
Hong Chengchou saw his concern and doubts, so Hong Chengchou said: "We joined the army to pacify the world and let the people live a good life. Seeing that Zhu Ming was not virtuous and was about to fall, could so many brothers who followed us through life and death, let them follow Zhu Ming to be buried with him? How many families have destroyed them? The fame and wealth of our generals are secondly. You have been an official for so long and have so much savings. Isn't it good to go home to be a rich man in a peaceful and prosperous era, buy sheep, fertile land, and enjoy fine wine and beauty?"
Hong Chengchou was free and easy, and he drew a big cake, but Zu Kuan felt very uncomfortable when he heard it. He thought that if he continued to serve in the army, he would still be a general who led the army. As for the life he mentioned, he would have to live after he was sixty or seventy years old. While he is young now, he will earn a family business for his descendants and get a royal decree for his wife and children. This is what a man should do.
However, Zu Kuan was also a man who commanded 30,000 troops. With the hands of the Chinese army, he had to give him at least a general. If he didn't give it, there was nothing we could do, so he could only go back to his hometown to farm.
Watching these soldiers cross the river and enter the Chinese army camp, they were warmly welcomed.
At this time, the Chinese army was having a meal. Jingyun Gong came with a thousand guests. Liu Zhongyong did not dare to neglect them and immediately arranged for these people to eat, and asked his soldiers to delay their meals first.
When the Ming army soldiers entered the Chinese army's barracks, they first discovered that the entire barracks were very neat and strict, and they could not see any garbage. Even if there were any, they were placed in a centralized manner.
After anyone entered the canteen, the difference between their canteen and Ming Jun was not very good, but it was very clean and neat.
But what happened next was revealed by Commander Ming.
In the Ming army, there were queuing up to get food. The ones responsible for making food were not the masters in the canteen, but the officers, mainly because they had too few things. To prevent someone from giving more and giving less, a spoon would have to be so much. Even veterans could not fight more. This is unfair. For fairness, the superiors would divide it to prevent these Qiu Bas from causing trouble.
When entering the canteen of the Chinese Army, the biggest difference is that there are a lot of rice placed in a corner, all of which are filled with large wooden barrels, and a large number of steamed buns in bamboo baskets and dustpans.
The soldiers of the Ming army were surprised that if you put such good rice and good white flour buns here, you wouldn’t be afraid of blowing up the camp or robbing them?
The matter that made them even more eye-catching came, and they started to eat. The master of the cafeteria brought up the fish plate and placed it on the chopping board beside it, allowing the soldiers to pick it up on their own.
The soldiers of the Ming army were shocked at first when they saw this scene. You don’t know that even if there was a war, there was no meat to eat. If the war was about to be won and a celebration banquet was held, there would be meat to eat. The meat had to be distributed to each soldier by their senior generals, as if they were gifted to the soldiers. The soldiers had to kneel down and kowtow, and be grateful, so that they dared to receive it.
The Chinese army was simply inhumane. They actually put the large plate of fish and meat on the chopping board aside and let the soldiers eat it.
This shocked the soldiers of the Ming army to their eyes. If they were in the Ming army camp, they would only blow up the camp, and these soldiers would probably mutiny and would come to rush to eat.
The Chinese soldiers were relatively civilized and gentle. They took their own trays and bowls to freely cook fish and vegetables, and then went to make food, sitting and eating without anyone else.
When Jingyun Gong saw these soldiers, he was shocked and understood the shock of the soldiers. Jingyun Gong was also a person who had suffered. He knew that most people were hungry these days, and it was normal for some people to have not eaten a meal of meat for 20 or 30 years.
As for the Ming army, it was a very great thing to be able to eat meat once a year, but the Chinese army was able to let the soldiers eat it freely. This was a great benefit. When King Jingyun first entered the canteen of the Chinese army, he joked: "If I were to make my husband twenty or thirty years younger, I would probably have to join the army."
So Jingyungong said, "Why are you still being stunned here? Why don't you go to have a meal quickly?"
When these Ming soldiers heard such words, they immediately rushed over to get plates, bowls, chopsticks, and prepared to eat something. At this time, the employees in the army said: "Everyone should hurry up, don't worry, there are all? Have enough, but there is only one. If you do it randomly, you will dare to hit you twenty military sticks."
This sentence shocked the soldiers and thought that what rules should be followed for this meal. Since I had such a good meal of rice and fish, I had to kowtow to Liu Shuai. Everyone was thinking about where Liu Shuai was, so I came out and asked everyone to kowtow to him and then go to eat.
When Jingyun Gong saw that everyone was shocked, he said with a smile: "The Chinese army has the rules of the Chinese army. You have to queue up when you eat. The colleagues are not allowed to fight or rob. It is more important..."
Sure enough, everyone pricked up their ears and listened. Although they were listening to Jingyungong's words, their eyes and hearts floated to the food beside them. There was no such good food even during the Chinese New Year. I waited for Jingyungong to arrange for everyone to kowtow and thank him. Then I went to eat. They swallowed their saliva and their stomachs were roaring.
At this time, Jingyun Gong said, "The most important thing is to eat as much as you want. You are not allowed to pour it. Who dares to waste food? I recognize you, but I don't recognize you in this military rule."
