Chapter 953 The East Wind Blows, The War Drums Beat

In the dead of night again, on the wharf of the official boat on the Tonghui River, there was a post at three steps and a sentry at five steps, and the security was extremely strict.

The soldiers of the new army with live ammunition stood upright one by one, waiting for the review of the commander.

Soon, Yu Zhu, dressed in military uniform, galloped into the pier.

Chief Sergeant Zhao Qing, seeing Yuzhu approaching, immediately raised his voice and shouted sharply: "Everyone is here, stand at attention and salute!"

The soldiers all saluted with their guns, and looked straight ahead without squinting.

After Yuzhu stopped the horse, Zhao Qing trotted all the way to the horse, saluted with his knife, and said loudly: "Report to the head of the mountain, all the students of the non-commissioned officer sub-school of the lecture hall, after the assembly, there should be five people at 930, and five people at 930, please give instructions!"

"Very good!" Yuzhu put the five fingers of his right hand together, pointed obliquely at the temple, and solemnly returned the military salute.

Looking up, the non-commissioned officers were holding rifles, their eyes were piercing, and they were very energetic.

"My students, you are the soul and backbone of our new soldiers. Without you, the team officers can't win the battle with their arms and fingers. I guarantee that the best of you will enjoy the same treatment as the town commander!" Yu Zhu raised his hand again, solemnly saluting.

Hey, all the non-commissioned officers seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, wishing they could crush the rifles in their hands.

In the new army, due to Yuzhu's special attention, the training of non-commissioned officers was on the right track very early.

According to the regulations of the New Army, officers started out as team officers (company commanders), and non-commissioned officers were divided into ten levels. Among them, the first-level non-commissioned officer was the shed leader (squad leader), the second-level non-commissioned officer was the deputy platoon leader, and so on.

Due to the urgent situation where the war is about to break out, the non-commissioned officers gathered today will all serve as platoon leaders.

Officers can be promoted step by step, and non-commissioned officers can also be promoted to chief sergeant at the township level due to their meritorious service.

The chief sergeant is equivalent to the chairman of the soldiers' union in this town, and has a great say in the management of soldiers.

Without the permission of the chief sergeant, even the town commander (division commander) cannot dispose of any soldier at will in peacetime.

From the Franco-Prussian War to World War II, why was the German Army so powerful?
The elite team of non-commissioned officers has played a great leading role in the backbone.

In addition, Yuzhu learned the lesson that the Beiyang Army was too disobedient after Yuan Xiangcheng went to the field, and deliberately separated the officers and non-commissioned officers.

Officers and non-commissioned officers belong to different military and political systems.

Even if the officers are ambitious, they still need to ask the non-commissioned officers whether they agree or not!

The officers of the new army are only responsible for commanding operations and master the military order system.

The non-commissioned officers, on the other hand, worked together with the soldiers all day long, sharing joys and sorrows, teaching combat skills and life-saving tricks, and at the same time asking about the cold and warm, and fighting for feelings.

In addition, the distribution of military salaries for the new army has never passed through the hands of officers.Instead, the treasurer and fellows of the Universe Ticket Office distributed them to each soldier one by one.

This fundamentally puts an end to the ugly phenomenon of officers eating empty salaries and drinking the blood of soldiers.

In the former Ming army, under the command of the civil official group, except for the servants, they were all rookies.

Under Dorgon's command, the same group of people are all high-spirited and dare to work hard.

In a word, enough money!
In addition to high salaries, regular and full salaries must be paid before the soldiers are willing to work for Yuzhu.

Yuzhu's lecture was not long.

Because, he himself has suffered greatly from Wenshan Huihai, and he knows that if the lecture takes too long, it will only annoy people.

"Let's go." Yuzhu waved his hand, and Chief Sergeant Zhao Qing immediately issued an order, "All turn to the right, two by two, board the ship one by one."

All of a sudden, a mighty team of non-commissioned officers filed onto the grain ship docked at the pier.

After the ships were unmoored one by one, they went down the river east and went straight to the first town station in Tianjin.

After returning home from the pier, Yu Zhu had just sat down and had a sip of hot tea when Wu Sidao walked in with a letter.

"Old Wu, come, try the Biluochun from the new tribute." Yuzhu greeted Wu Sidao affectionately.

Wu Sidao was not polite to him, and sat directly opposite the huge tree root, picked up the teacup in front of him, sniffed it first, and boasted involuntarily: "It smells so good."

Yu Zhu smiled slightly, he made acquaintance with Wu Sidao, and Zhou Quan was about to lean back.

Getting to know each other early is nothing.The important thing is that Wu Sidao risked losing his head for Yu Zhu, lurking in the palace of the fourth child.

What happened to the broken leg?
In Yuzhu's eyes, Wu Sidao, who has both loyalty and ability, is more precious than anything else!

Wu Sidao knew in his heart that one of the conditions that Yu Zhu and Lao Wu talked about was to let him enter the cabinet and become Wendner's deputy.

Yuzhu used the household department with astonishingly powerful real power to exchange only one Wu Sidao. Does this kind of affection need to say more nonsense?

If the old emperor was still alive, Wu Sidao, who had a broken leg, would definitely not be able to enter the court as an official.

However, the old emperor had passed away, and when the court was in chaos, Yu Zhu took the opportunity to exchange benefits with the fifth child.

There is no way, the old emperor is so selfish.The fifth child and the seventh child belong to the category of not being able to be officials, just because they are princes, they can still be promoted to serve as errands.

"Master..." As soon as Wu Sidao spoke, he was stopped by Yu Zhu raising his hand.

Yuzhu lowered his face and said: "You and I are real brothers who met in the infancy, you can just call me Liqing, and don't call me anything else in the future. This is not a discussion."

Even though Wu Sidao was an extremely scheming person, he was completely moved by Yuzhu's fiery true feelings, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Yu... Brother Qing..." With trembling lips, Wu Sidao called Yu Zhu's name with great difficulty.

You know, at present, there are no more than ten people in the entire Qing Dynasty who are qualified to call the word "Qingqing".

Empress Dowager Cikang, Qingtai, Guerjia, Li Si'er, Fifth, Seventh, and Twelfth, at most Tong Guoding and his generous cousin Orondai, that's all.

Even the little emperor dared to call affectionately in private: Brother Zhu, let alone others.

"Hey, that's right. I'll call it that from now on. I like to hear it." Yuzhu raised the teacup and said with a smile, "Come on, replace wine with tea and finish it."

"Dang." The crisp sound of clinking glasses lingered.

"Qingqing, according to reliable information, Lao Jiu went to Lao Twelve's place tonight." Wu Sidao opened his mouth and revealed a shocking news.

Yuzhu stroked his chin and said with a smile: "It's okay, in the next few days, similar things will definitely happen one after another."

Wu Sidao nodded, and said: "The scandal of the fourth brother's killing the king was suppressed for the time being according to your order. However, among the two involved in the poisoning, Wang Chaoqing was willing to confess after being severely tortured, and he was dying."

Yuzhu smiled and said, "Actually, whether Wang Chaoqing is alive or dead is irrelevant. After all, the two of them are just eunuchs without roots, and they fell into my hands. Even if they publicly accused the fourth brother of killing the king, because of me, the credibility is not high."

Wu Sidao understood in seconds, Wang Chaoqing's life and death no longer mattered.

Yuzhu said again: "Since the fourth and eighth brothers have fled to the west, sooner or later they will raise their troops to clear the emperor's side. As long as they raise their troops, they are plotting rebellion. It doesn't matter if they kill the king or not."

Wu Sidao smiled slightly, and said: "Yes, as long as they raise their troops, they will be the mortal enemies of the Holy One, Fifth Master, and Seventh Master!"

On the side of Qingjun, don't be ridiculous, I just want Qingjun, okay?

If Yuzhu was defeated and died, the little emperor would definitely die!
The fifth and seventh children will most likely not survive.Because they are in power.

As for Lao Jiu, if Lao Ba wins, he will naturally be crowned Prince.

If the fourth child wins, hehe, the ninth child will definitely not survive!

Seeing Yuzhu's chatter was in full swing, Wu Sidao said again: "You let the eighth and the fourth go out at the same time, which can be described as a stroke of genius. The eighth wants to fight, and wants to ask the fourth and Nian Gengyao if they agree? In the same way, the fourth and Nian Gengyao want to fight, but they have to worry about the eighth and the fourteenth behind them. They restrain each other and can't move!"

Yuzhu smiled shallowly, and asked Wu Sidao: "Old Wu, do you think there will be a falling out between Lao Si and Nian Gengyao?"

Wu Sidao twitched his beard and smiled lightly, and said, "Nian Gengyao has always been arrogant, ruthless and cruel. If I were the fourth child, I might not dare to go to Xi'an to join Nian Gengyao."

"Hehe, old Wu, you are actually sure in your heart, the fourth child must go to Xi'an, right?" Yuzhu picked up the teacup and tasted it carefully.

Wu Sidao deliberately avoided this sensitive topic, and analyzed: "The land of Shaanxi and Gansu is extremely barren, and it cannot support hundreds of thousands of troops at all. As long as Shanxi and Henan cut off the food roads and keep the pass, it is very likely that there will be no war and chaos."

This is very interesting.

Yuzhu stroked his chin and said, "I have already written to the governor of Shanxi, Yang Sen, ordering him to burn all the ferries on the Yellow River, and at the same time strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and prepare for battle at any time."

"Qingqing, the governor of Henan is also very important." Wu Sidao reminded Yuzhu with a pun.

Yu Zhu waved his hand and said, "If Henan is too heavily guarded, I'm afraid they won't dare to raise their troops when the time comes!"

Wu Sidao understood, Yu Zhu was obviously looking forward to it, the fourth son and the others raised their troops to clear the king's side!

"Hey, if the old slave knew about it, how would he feel when he saw the bloody scene where the soldiers of the Eight Banners cut each other down?" Wu Sidao smiled strangely and sinisterly.

Yuzhu laughed three times, stood up, and walked out, saying, "Rest early, don't tire yourself too much!"

During this period of time, Yuzhu suddenly became sexual.

However, Xiuyun definitely couldn't let him succeed.

After Yuzhu went out, she simply went to Qingwen's place.

Sure enough, Qingwen never let Yuzhu down, she took the initiative to put a veil in her mouth, and let Yuzhu gallop happily.

After the matter was over, Yu Zhu didn't dare to ask for water to take a bath.

Once the water is ordered, Xiuyun will definitely know.

During the national mourning period, men couldn't control their crotch, no matter how virtuous Xiuyun was, she would still deal with Qingwen severely.

After being happy, worrying about hurting Qingwen, Yuzhu put on her clothes again and went back to Tingxueju, where she lived alone.
