After the storm subsided, in the Ming army's camp, there were countless soldiers covered in frost. Groups of them huddled tightly together, gritting their teeth to resist the biting cold in the north.
Suddenly, a steaming fragrance floated in the wind. After a brief moment of astonishment, the soldiers began to make noisy noises.
Don't move, everyone has it!
The officers' shouts came in unison.
But the soldiers did not restrain themselves, but instead became more noisy. In the black night, with only a few lights, the fire-headed soldiers came out from the commander's central army carrying buckets of boiling hot soup.
In fact, the broth in the army is not soup at all, it is just minced meat boiled in water with more salt. Sometimes even the blood foam is skimmed off, giving it a fishy smell. But at this time, these people were tortured by the wind and snow.
In the eyes of the soldiers who were going crazy, it was like a treasure.
Damn it, don’t move, everyone has it, everyone is guaranteed to have a big bowl of hot food with meat and soup! The captain in the army stood in the wind and shouted at the top of his voice, in order to give everyone a hot meal, Cao Guogong,
He ordered more than 20 mules and horses to be killed directly, but the old man didn't even hide a piece of good meat, and all of them were taken advantage of by his brothers!
At this time, the fire-headed soldiers in front began to feel soup.
The soldiers didn't care to listen to the officer's chatter, and crowded forward. The soldiers in the distance who didn't know what was going on also came over as if to join in the fun. Seeing that the camp of more than 20,000 people was about to be in chaos.
This is what we are afraid of in the military camp, especially at night. If it is not handled well, a good thing can turn into a bad thing. The soldiers are almost stupid because of the cold. He doesn't care what kind of prince you are, if he says to blow up the camp, he will blow up the camp.
You must love your soldiers as your own sons, but you must also kill without blinking an eye!
Looking at the soldiers swarming in, Li Jinglong's mind suddenly rang with the words his father taught him back then.
Order, be quiet!
As soon as Li Jinglong finished speaking, a hundred soldiers around him opened their throats and shouted in the wind and snow, commanding the station, the entire army was quiet, anyone who made a loud noise or left the camp without permission would be killed!
cut!
cut!
cut!
Dozens of "Zhan" characters fell, and the military camp became slightly silent. The firelight allowed them to see clearly that their commander Li Jinglong was standing in front with his soldiers. The soldiers' hands were all sharp swords.
Military discipline and law temporarily defeated their desire for hot soup and made them calm down.
But there are also some stupid people who start snatching without hesitation.
Who let the mother-in-law rob her? Some fire-headed soldiers scolded her.
Straight motherfucker, I only had a bowl of hot soup after freezing all day. Damn it, you guys, you guys, hid it secretly! After a few stupid young people drank the broth, they became more energetic and started to grab it.
There are only so many people under the command of Zhentai, who dares to hide them!
Bah! Officials all give birth to sons without buttholes. They are well fed and drink enough to survive the cold. Men in this wind will lose a few handfuls!!
Hearing the noise over there, the muscles on Li Jinglong's face trembled a few times.
Catch him and kill him!
Li Laowai agreed, took his son Li Xiaowai, and rushed over with his soldiers. Those stupid young men who were still grabbing the broth moved their heads after a few swipes.
Commander-in-Chief! Li Laowai said ferociously, "Those who don't abide by the rules, this is what will happen!"
The blood that had just spurted out immediately solidified and turned dark red. When the noisy soldiers saw that they were beheaded on the spot for making such a fuss, they immediately retreated and stopped making noise around the hot-headed soldiers.
The soldiers in Zhentai have made broth for you, so you are just not grateful. Why are you making noises and blowing up the camp? Li Laowai continued to shout, "Anyone who makes noise again will be beheaded!"
Li Jinglong held the knife in his waist and walked slowly to the scene of the incident.
The most difficult thing about leading troops is not fighting, but how to manage these big soldiers!
Thinking about this in his mind, Li Jinglong's face became more and more gloomy. In addition to his own soldiers behind him, there were hundreds of musketeers from the firearms camp, following him with muskets.
The military morale of his men is now at a critical point.
Ping An left more than 20,000 of them here. After all their work, these people not only did not see the Tatars, but saw a white-haired blizzard. The people were almost freezing to death, and there was a lack of firewood, so everyone felt angry.
The anger of so many people can become a powder keg when aggregated.
The heads were passed to the back, and everyone in each team had to look at them! Li Jinglong shouted loudly, and the law enforcement team began to patrol the camp. Those who made noises and provoked discord would be executed on the spot! As he said that, look at the soldiers in the snow and wind.
, walked to the hot soup bucket, wiped the blood off the wooden spoon, took out a bowl of hot soup and handed it over, next!
A soldier slowly stepped forward and carefully took the hot soup from Li Jinglong's hand. In this soldier's opinion, Cao Guogong was such a high-ranking person that he could never get close to him on ordinary days.
Drink something warm to sleep! Li Jinglong said softly, drink slowly, don't burn it!
A soldier came forward. Li Jinglong gave him a full shot and still looked pleasant. He has wronged his brothers these past few days. When the battle is over, let's see what I, Lao Li, do!
Gradually, the soldiers formed a long queue in front of several pots. A brave soldier asked Li Jinglong, "My lord, are you still talking? Can you tell us that after the battle is over, Qinhuai River will take us on a trip!"
Damn it! Li Jinglong laughed and scolded, "I have to win the battle before I take you there!" He said with a bad smile, "It's not a big deal to take you there. I'm afraid that your kid will be pinched out by others, and we will be the ones to lose it."
All the people in the army!
As he said this, he, a dignified prince, actually pinched his throat and imitated the lady-like emphasis in the play. Oh, those men who had fought with the Tatars were standing in their way, but who knew they had silver-like gun tips?
Down, soft!
Ah ha ha ha! Earth-shaking laughter erupted all around, and the man who just called out was so turned pale by laughter.
Lord, please kill me!
Don't worry, kid, as long as we win the war, I will definitely bring you happiness! Li Jinglong continues to drink soup, but before the war, we brothers have to get through these difficult days together!
There is not much firewood in the army. From now on, all firewood will be used to boil water and cook for the brothers. From me on down, no officer can take it at will, let alone keep the fire at will!
From me on down, we eat the same as everyone else!
There is not much fodder for bean cakes in the army. Those animals are killed every day to make hot soup for the brothers!
We come out to fight. Brothers work together to defeat the Tatars. Only by working together can we defeat the Tatars!
It is estimated that when the wind and snow stop, the Tatars will come up.
Please cheer me up, whoever gives in will have his head chopped off!
As Li Jinglong spoke, he distributed broth to the soldiers who lined up.
Suddenly, he saw a young soldier coming in front of him. He was only fourteen or fifteen years old at most. He asked, which battalion are you from? Why did you become a soldier at such a young age?
The young soldiers were a little timid, holding on to their jobs. I am an infantry soldier, my family is a military household, my brother died in battle, and I want to take over!
Li Jinglong put down his spoon, what's his name?
Li Dawang! The young soldier replied.
Hey, it’s still my family! Li Jinglong laughed and looked at the opponent’s jacket that was torn by the wind and snow. Where did your brother die in the battle? Where was your father?
My father died in the battle first, in Datong. My brother died in the battle later, in Goryeo!
Suddenly, Li Jinglong felt sour. Where are the other people in the family?
There are also sisters-in-law and nephews! Li Dawang smiled shyly, my mother died a long time ago, and my father helped me and my brother, won rewards and fields from the war, married my brother a wife, and gave birth to a baby. When I get here, I must be patched, otherwise
The fields can no longer be kept!
Li Jinglong was surprised when he heard that some of his soldiers were safely left behind, most of them were soldiers and horses from the Beijing camp. Even if his family members died in the battle, they would not be able to take back the fields.
Who are you?? Li Jinglong asked again.
I am Shandong Yin! Li Dawang said.
Suddenly, Li Jinglong understood. This young soldier was a military household brought into the capital camp by outsiders. He might also be a military household who committed crimes against the people, or his family committed crimes and was exiled to the army. Such military households are better regarded in the army than those who have been fighting for generations.
per household, which is much lower.
At this time, although the Ming Dynasty had a certain atmosphere of raising troops with high salaries, many families of soldiers who were exiled from the army were not living a good life.
Dawang, what a name! Li Jinglong gave the opponent a bowl full of bones and hot soup. Eat more, and you will be strong enough to kill the Tatars! As he said that, he continued to ask with a smile, Dawang, you won the battle and got a reward.
What do you want to do?
Li Dawang put his frozen hands on the soup bowl to warm them, and said with a simple smile, "Take it home and give it to my sister-in-law!"
Li Jinglong smiled and said, a sister-in-law is like a mother, and that is how it should be!
Suddenly, Li Dawang was a little shy. When I followed Baihu out of his hometown, my sister-in-law said, wait until I go back to live my life! As he said that, he lowered his head and sipped the hot soup in small sips, with longing in his eyes. My sister-in-law said,
When I go back to live my life, my nephew is my son, and my home is still home. No one will take back the land at home, but I am still a hard-working person. I will neither beat her nor scold her...
His voice carried far away along the wind.
This time, no one laughed at him.
Li Jinglong looked at this young man and said, "From today on, you will be my personal soldier. When you go home, I will give you a big gift!"
A? Dawang raised his head dullly, not knowing why.
