Chapter 1128: Carrying on the Past and Opening up the Future (Part 18)

Xie Dong walked up to Dong Zhuang carrying two iron tubes and handed one of them to him. This iron tube is the individual equipment just issued by the army. It is divided into three layers and is included in the army's multi-functional bag. A special place was designed for this kind of rice bowl. Dong Zhuang sat down on the ground full of dirt, without any airs of strength. He unscrewed the lid and took out two round bowls, one with vegetables in it. One is soup, and the bottom one has two big steamed buns.

Seeing Dong Zhuang raise his eyes and scan around, Xie Dong smiled and said: "Sir, no need to look, everyone is the same. I really didn't do this. First of all, I didn't know that the teacher came to inspect today. Secondly, we always That's it, there's no need to hide anything."

Dong Zhuang nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, Xie Dong, you have a good place here. The logistics of the army is very profitable. I don't want to see you fall into trouble here = pig = pig = island = novel = www = zhuua = Somerset, you must know that what our king hates most is corruption. Last time, a regiment commander from Toye fell down here. After being investigated by the Internal Affairs Division of the Overwatch Council, he was finally transferred to the Military Justice Department and sentenced to death. , that was a guy with great military exploits. When I joined the army, he was the battalion commander, and he killed people without asking."

Xie Dong said solemnly: "Don't worry, sir, I will never stumble on this."

Dong Zhuang took a bite of the steamed bun, raised his head, and looked at the long white clouds in the sky: "Both of us are from poor backgrounds and are afraid of poverty, but the more people like us, the easier it is for us to have problems, and we don't want to We will have a hard time, but our current salary is high enough. If we have problems with it, we will not be counted as human beings. The large number of newly built barracks here were not found to have any problems the last time the Ministry of Finance came to audit them. They are really worth it to me. A lot of light has been added. You know, the other two divisions of our New First Army have more or less problems."

"Those corrupt guys should be killed completely!" Xie Dong took a sip of soup and said viciously.

"You're right, kill them all!" Dong Zhuang nodded vigorously. As a general from a poor background, he hated corruption from the bottom of his heart. "Eat quickly. After eating, I have to go to the second place. The regiment and the third regiment went around. There is no battle now, but training cannot be relaxed. Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war. This is easy to say, but difficult to do. Veterans hate training, and they would rather fight. I know this, but you can't think like this. If you don't have strict training, during wartime, your body will be relaxed for too long and it won't be able to get nervous even if you want to."

"I will keep my teacher's teachings in mind!" Xie Dong put down his rice bowl and said respectfully.

"Teaching is nonsense!" Dong Zhuang chuckled. "We are both big bosses, and you are still talking about words. It's a joke."

After hearing this, Xie Dong also laughed.

The two of them stopped talking and both lowered their heads and concentrated on destroying the food in front of them.

At the gate of the military camp, a horse came galloping over. He whispered a few words to the sentry at the door. Without dismounting, he went straight to the school grounds. Hearing the sound of horse hooves, Dong Zhuang raised his head. When he saw the person coming, he stood up immediately. .

"Commander Dong, the military headquarters is in an emergency. All officers and soldiers of the New First Army have entered a wartime state. Commander Zhang summons you to go to Suiyang for a meeting immediately!" The visitor got off his horse in front of Dong Zhuang. He was a member of Dong Zhuang's third division headquarters. adjutant.

Dong Zhuang threw the rice tube in his hand into Xie Dong's arms, with excitement on his face, "There's going to be a war. Xie Dong, immediately order your troops to enter wartime status, Xuan Qing."

"Here!" a guard from behind Dong Zhuang responded.

"You immediately go to the Second and Third Regiments to deliver the order. Let Wang Yao and Zhou Yanbing make all preparations."

"yes!"

Suiyang was originally just a small county town on the border. But as the New First Army headquarters chose Suiyang, it almost turned into a large barracks. The total of the New First Army headquarters and directly affiliated soldiers was almost It accounts for half of the entire county's population. With the entry of these soldiers, Suiyang's economy has also jumped to a new level. A large amount of materials have poured in, and many businesses have followed the footsteps of the army and entered this originally unknown city. A legendary town.

When Dong Zhuang rushed to Suiyang, it was already the evening of the second day after he received the order. He finally arrived at the time stipulated in Zhang Hongyu's order. While letting out a sigh of relief, Dong Zhuang Zhuang also discovered that Suiyang was different from the previous ones. The soldiers coming and going looked nervous and walked in a hurry, while carriages drove into Suiyang City from outside the city. Obviously this was Materials transferred from later.

"Report!" A loud voice made Zhang Hongyu look up from the piles of case files on the major case. When he saw Dong Zhuang, he laughed: "I knew Dong Manzi was the first to arrive, your station." He is the farthest away, but he is the first to arrive. When Cui Chengxiu and Gao Chengdong arrive, I will criticize them well."

Dong Zhuang walked in the door with a chuckle, "Then the two of them will definitely have to pay for the next meal of my subordinates. With this salary, I have to support my family and make a living. Commander, it is better not to criticize them."

Zhang Hongyu laughed and walked out from behind the case, beating Dong Zhuang's chest hard, "Dong Manzi, we haven't fought for more than half a year, how is the morale of your troops?"

"Okay, Commander, as soon as the soldiers heard that the wartime situation was entered, they all screamed with excitement!" Dong Zhuang said: "These boys are more willing to fight than to train!"

"Your division has a relatively large proportion of new recruits. Can they keep up with the training?" Zhang Hongyu pulled a chair over and pressed Dong Zhuang on the chair to sit down.

"Commander, there is definitely no problem with the training, but you also know that no matter how well trained the recruits are, they will have to adapt to the battlefield, but they will be fine after just one battle." Dong Zhuang said.

Zhang Hongyu nodded, "That's right, no matter how good the training is, it can't compare to being on the battlefield. I can rest assured that you, Dong Manzi, will lead the troops."

"Sure enough, Dong Manzi arrived first." An annoyed voice came from outside. They both turned around and saw Cui Chengtuo, 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 exhortation on his face, " Dong Manzi, your station is the farthest away, why are you running so fast? I lost a meal to Lao Cui!"

Hearing Gao Chengdong's words, Dong Zhuang laughed: "Brother Gao, you have been fooled by At Cui. He and I have made a plan. He is dragging your schedule. I will hurry up and we will earn your seat." Yes, you still bet with him, but make it clear that you are willing to admit defeat, and I am going to eat this meal."

"Dong Manzi, I haven't seen you for a few months, you have become evil!" Cui Chengxiu suddenly jumped in front of Dong Zhuang, "You want to sow discord, when did I start conspiring with you, Lao Gao? It's obviously me who is scheming Wushuang, you know As soon as you heard that there was a war, you jumped up and down more happily than anyone else."

"Okay, okay, now that everyone is here, let's have a meeting!" Zhang Hongyu waved his hand.

"Commander, are you going to attack the Chu people this time?" Dong Zhuang said impatiently: "You shouldn't have stopped halfway at the beginning. This gave the Chu country a chance to breathe, but now the king finally figured it out. It’s better to do it later than to do it later!”

"Shut up, you are not the one to judge the king!" Cui Chengxiu on the other side said angrily: "You, a barbarian, know nothing about anything but fighting. Do you think the king didn't want to pursue the victory? But we were at the end of our game at that time. Fighting a war is not just about driving soldiers forward. Do you know how much military expenses are spent every day once a war starts? How much is every arrow shot and every knife broken worth? Fighting requires money. of."

"I don't care about that. I just charge forward. As for the other things, the Army Commander will take them into consideration." Dong Zhuang said with a chuckle.

"Commander, where are we going to fight this time?" Gao Chengdong asked.

Zhang Hongyu walked to the map and poked a point heavily with his finger, "Pengcheng, this time we are going to take Pengcheng, cut off the passage between Xuzhou and Chu State, and then swallow Xuzhou in one bite."

"Good guy!" Gao Chengdong exclaimed: "If you don't move, you will swallow a state in one bite. Commander, I'm afraid the Chu State will not give up."

"Qin State and Chu State are at war!" Zhang Hongyu sneered: "Zhou Yu suddenly launched an attack in Nanyang County and occupied Suixian County, Chu State's military center on the border. Chu State has already begun to mobilize troops and generals to prepare for counterattack, so Our opportunity 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. The Qin people agreed on the surface, but in fact they kept dragging their feet. Why did they suddenly move this time?" Cui Chengxiu was a little surprised. .

"There are some things that you didn't know before, but now that it has developed to this point, with your level, there is no need to hide it from you. Something happened at our Han Yizhen Research Institute. An important researcher responsible for the research on gunpowder formulas was kidnapped. , it was Tan Feng who took action, but now the people are controlled in Jiangdong County of Chu State. Chu State does not want to surrender, and the Qin people naturally do not want to lose their wives and lose their troops, so they send troops to threaten. Hey, a Mao Wei, then It's not a bad thing to start a war."

"Yizhen Research Institute? Doesn't that mean that our great weapon to suppress the country has also been taken away by them?" Gao Chengdong said with a change of color.

"It also depends on how to use a powerful weapon?" Zhang Hongyu said disapprovingly: "Anyway, as far as I know, the king is not in a hurry. In addition, I can also tell you that our big man has developed a more powerful weapon. Starting tomorrow, To begin with, we need to initially equip the troops. The gunpowder doesn’t seem so important anymore.”

"New weapons are always the first to be equipped with the Young Guards. We don't have to think about it. As long as I get a few hundred kilograms of explosive 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 have to rely on our own strength. This time, Dong Zhuang, with Your third division will serve as the vanguard, Cui Chengxiu’s first division will launch behind Dong Zhuang as the second wave of attacks, and Chengdong’s troops will serve as reserves to deal with possible unexpected situations.”
