Chapter 908 Zhao Hu Suddenly Realized Something

In winter and December, the weather is getting colder and colder. Zhao Hu still remembers that winter was not so cold when he was young. If you are sick, you will be scolded by your mother.

But in recent years, the weather has been getting colder and colder. Zhao Hu obviously doesn't dare to continue to do what he did when he was a child.

On the way the army was advancing, he led the Qinglongying army to open the way for the entire army. He had a heavy responsibility, and he dared not be negligent in the slightest. In addition, the recent incident of Li Wenyuan woke up all the generals in the army, and Zhao Hu did not dare to make a fuss. up.

When they marched until noon, the army had an hour to eat and rest, so Zhao Hu ordered the army to stop advancing and bury pots for cooking on the spot.

The Huotou army was cooking. Zhao Hu got off his horse and gave orders to the sentry cavalry in the army to go out to search for the enemy and check the situation. After the sentry cavalry came out, he relaxed and packed up for dinner.

"Old Zhao!"

When Zhao Hu went to Huotou to get something to eat, he ran into the deputy general Qi Dayong who came on horseback.

"Old Qi?"

Zhao Hu looked at Qi Dayong's happy face and didn't know what happened.

To put it bluntly, Qi Dayong is also a stick. When the army launched an literacy campaign, Xiao Ruxun and Yuan Huang felt that the names of the main generals were not very pleasant, so they planned to change their names collectively, which meant the beginning of a new life.

Many people have changed their names. They have changed their original names from Xiao Wu Xiao Liu Xiao Qi Xiao Ba, but Qi Dayong is not willing. Said that the name given by grandpa before his death could not be changed, so everyone let him go.

However, although he has a straightforward temper and looks a bit stupid, he is unambiguous in fighting, and he is quite a bit of a genius. In the Qinglong Camp, Zhao Hu is mostly responsible for charging and commanding on the spot, and Qi Dayong has a lot of ideas when planning battles. .

So Zhao Hu often told others that this guy looks silly, but in fact he has a bad stomach and is not a good thing.

Right now, the bad guy didn't know what he was taking advantage of, and with a happy face, he got off his horse and rushed over with a paper bag in his arms.

"What's the matter? Why don't you lead the troops to come to me?"

Zhao Hu looked at the paper bag in Qi Dayong's arms.

"That boy Luo Rong came to my place just now, showing off to me that his subordinates are capable people. He dug a hole in the river and got several baskets of fresh fish. I made a bet with him and won a basket of fresh fish. , I brought you a pack, how about we stew it?"

Zhao Hu suddenly became interested.

Generals naturally have better treatment, and the food they usually eat is better than that of ordinary soldiers. However, it is winter and they are still marching. There is really no chance to eat some fresh fish. Zhao Hu naturally does not want to let go of the opportunity now. It's not a good thing to repeatedly praise Qi Dayong for his bad taste.

The two immediately let the fire cook the fish, then stewed a pot of fish soup, sat on the ground and ate.

Alcohol is not allowed in the army, Xiao Ruxun has very strict control over alcohol, if someone is found drinking secretly, he will be whipped fifty times and driven out of the barracks, even more so as a general.

But it is also a beautiful thing to drink hot fish soup.

"Huh~ It's so comfortable. This soup is really comfortable to drink. It's getting colder and colder this day, and the colder it gets as you go north. I don't know how to live in the future."

Zhao Hu sighed.

"How do you live? Your and my good days haven't come yet! When the capital kills Shen Yiguan, then will our good days be?"

Qi Dayong looked at Zhao Hu with a smile: "Last time, Mr. Yuan Huang said that the commander-in-chief intends to restore the real power of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion. Old Zhao, what do you think?"

"What do you think? This is of course a good thing. The Commander's Mansion of the Five Armies was originally our warrior's territory, and the Tianxiawei should also be our warrior's commander, but it was taken away by the Ministry of War. Now that we have killed Shen Yiguan, of course we must The Fifth Army Commander's Mansion took it back, of course we have to decide our own affairs.

Not only the military power has to be taken back, but also the money and food, otherwise the money and food will be in the hands of the Ministry of War, and our balls will be held by the Ministry of War, so we have to point out where to fight. Military officers used to be fed up with those people's stupidity Alright, look at how many military generals have killed civilian officials and surrendered along the way? "

Qi Dayong took another sip of fish soup.

"Of course a good thing is a good thing, and this is indeed a good thing. However, Lao Zhao, you know how rotten the Tianxiawei has become during this journey. If you continue to build the Five Armies Commander's Mansion and continue to toss about this, you Aren't you afraid that this kind of thing will happen again in the future?"

Zhao Hu looked at Qi Dayong.

"What do you mean?"

Qi Dayong approached Zhao Hu and said in a low voice: "Don't you think the commander-in-chief seems to want to abolish the guard?"

"Abolished the guard?"

Zhao Hu frowned: "Where did you say that? Has the commander ever said this?"

"I didn't say it clearly, but when the commander-in-chief and Mr. Yuan said they wanted to take back the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, they didn't mention the guard at all. I feel that the commander-in-chief did not mention the guard on purpose. The disadvantages of the guard, the commander-in-chief must I saw it, what's the use of keeping something that collapses at the touch of a finger?"

Qi Dayong lowered his voice.

"But the guard house is the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty. It's not that easy to abolish it, right?"

Zhao Hu also became interested.

"It was not easy at first, but now we are fighting from south to north, turning the Ming Dynasty upside down. Those guards are basically destroyed, and they have not been rebuilt afterwards. Isn't it because the commander-in-chief doesn't plan to keep it?" The performance of the guard? This is just a good time to abolish the guard!"

Hearing what Qi Dayong said, Zhao Hu suddenly felt that there was a lot to be done.

"But if the guards are abolished, what will be used to replace them? In the Tang Dynasty there were government soldiers, in the Song Dynasty there were imperial guards, and in the Ming Dynasty there were guards. If the guards were abolished, they must be replaced with new ones, right? This matter is not for the commander-in-chief to discuss with the emperor. Is it? It's useless for us to work hard here?"

Qi Dayong shook his head.

"That's not to say, if the commander-in-chief really wants to abolish the guard, what we will do in the future is not certain, and the guard can't be abolished, isn't what the commander-in-chief said now? Right now It seems that the commander-in-chief holds military power under one man and over ten thousand people, but when he arrives in the capital and those civil servants occupy high positions again, the situation is different."

Zhao Hu suddenly realized something.

"Old Qi, just say what you want to say."

Qi Dayong drank the fish soup in the bowl in one gulp, then looked around, lowered his throat and said to Zhao Hu: "When the capital kills Shen Yiguan and restores the emperor, what should the commander do? What should we do, you Have you thought about it?"

Zhao Hu frowned.

"Naturally, the commander-in-chief will consider this matter and tell us that it's useless for us to care about it, right? But we have made such a great contribution, the emperor will not deny us some benefits, at least the commander-in-chief is fine, right? "
