At night, Zhao Zhen held another banquet to celebrate.

Since ancient times, no feast can be complete without wine. As for wine, it can bring people closer, enhance friendship, and liven up the atmosphere. There is a saying that goes: Three cups can make everything go well, and one drunk can relieve all worries. For two consecutive days, Xue Yong and Hou Jian were completely integrated.

Looking at all the heroes in Liangshan County, except for [Blue-Eyed Tiger] Li Yun who did not drink a drop of wine, the other heroes, regardless of gender, all had a good alcohol tolerance, and Lu Zhishen was even more addicted to alcohol.

Because of this, Pei Xuan found Zhao Zhen and issued a ban on alcohol in the army: "During war, soldiers are not allowed to drink privately unless there is a reward banquet!"

On weekdays, there are also rules for drinking in the army. On-duty soldiers and generals are not allowed to drink, and other soldiers are not allowed to drink excessively. It's not that Zhao Zhen doesn't want to ban alcohol, it's just the trend.

It can dispel heat and thirst in summer, warm the body in winter, and relieve fatigue on weekdays. Even civilians are like this, so how can these soldiers be willing to treat themselves harshly. Besides, most of the heroes recruited by Zhao Zhen were from the underworld, and they yearned for a life of drinking and eating meat.

Among all the heroes, Lu Zhishen had the greatest reputation. After all, he was an officer. Although Lu Zhishen loved drinking, he agreed with the prohibition of alcohol in the army.

In Lu Zhishen's words: "I used to be in the Western Army. During wartime, we often had wine to go out to fight. After victory in a war, when rewarding the three armies, we had wine to celebrate the victory. Apart from that, we were not allowed to drink. After all, wine can refresh the mind, but it can also make people lose their temper. Many regrets are caused by drunkenness."

"Besides, alcohol is only prohibited during wartime. You can drink as much as you want when you are not on duty."

Pei Xuan also gave an example to illustrate the harm: "In the distant Battle of Guandu, General Chunyu Qiong was addicted to alcohol. Cao Cao sent troops to attack him. Chunyu Qiong was still drunk and set a fire to burn all the food, causing Yuan Shao to be defeated."

"In the recent case, when Guo Wei, the founder of the Later Zhou Dynasty, suppressed a rebellion, his trusted general Li Shen drank to satisfy his craving. Guo Wei ordered Li Shen, who violated the ban on alcohol, to be beheaded in public. After that, no one dared to violate the ban and drink."

Seeing that Lu Zhishen could abide by the order, and with [Iron Face] Pei Xuan enforcing strict military discipline, everyone abided by the order.

Today, Zhao Zhen called Wu Yong, Xiao Rang, and Pei Xuan to discuss the garrisons and generals' arrangements in the side hall.

The four pointed at the military sand table made by Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian. At present, there are four large camps in Liangshan County, including the South Camp south of Xixi Village, Wanzicheng Camp, Haoshanfeng Military Camp, Xueshanfeng Military Camp, and Baishigu Parade Ground. There are also two small camps in Dongxi Village Hongyeshu Military Camp and Kushushan Military Camp.

The navy also has Jinshatan Water Camp, Baishigu Water Camp, Haoshanfeng Zhenggai Village Water Camp, Qinglongshan Donglou Village Water Camp, Dongxi Village, Xixi Village Wharf, Tianzhuang Wharf, Xiawang Village Wharf, Dushan Village Wharf, Jiazhuang Wharf, and Xiaoliangfeng Zhangzhuang Wharf.

The garrisons are scattered in various places. If there is an accident, it will take a lot of time to send an order to gather the army, which will delay the military opportunity.

The four discussed and decided that the garrison commanders of the South Camp were Luan Tingyu, Wu Sanniang, Yang Lin, Sun An, Deng Fei, Liu Tang, and Xue Yong. There were two cavalry divisions, one division of artillery, one division of bird guns, one division of sword and shield soldiers, and one division of long pole soldiers, together with the firemen and horsemen, a total of 800 soldiers.

Haoshanfeng Military Camp was the left military camp, with garrison commanders Chao Gai, Song Wan, Tao Zongwang, and Shi Qian, and 800 garrison sword soldiers, scouts, and repair soldiers.

Xueshanfeng Military Camp was gradually abandoned. After the Xiaopingshan Military Camp was repaired, it was moved to Xiaopingshan and became the right military camp. Lu Zhishen, Han Boling, Du Qian, and Bai Sheng, and 800 garrison gun and stick soldiers and scouts were stationed.

Wanzicheng was used as a training camp for new recruits. Two heroes were stationed every month to train local braves, new recruits, and surrendered soldiers, and they were added to the combat army after they passed the test.

In addition to the daily training of farmhands, Jiao Ting and Bao Xu are stationed in Baishigu, one for Pudaobing and one for [Chongfengdu]. There are 200 soldiers in total.

As for each village, a militia team of 30 to 50 people is set up according to the population. Near the foggy Kushutun and the red leaf tree in Dongxi Village, a 50-man sergeant is stationed on guard.

The water fort at the north gate of Baishigu is still guarded by Ruan Xiaoer, and the [Juzhoudu] has a total of 300 boarders, crossbowmen, and sailors.

Ruan Xiaoqi [Huhudu] has 250 people and is still stationed in Donglou Village, Qinglongshan. Ruan Xiaowu [Haichuidu] has 250 people and is stationed at the Golden Beach of Goutou Mountain. The rest of the docks are still used for fishing and no longer stationed.

Li San and Yan Liu's caravans usually dock at the Xixi Village dock.

After the plan is finalized, Xiao Rang writes a transfer order, Zhao Zhen uses the seal and sends it to various places in the army, and the adjustment is completed within five days. From then on, the generals in the army were appointed, and the rest of the heroes joined the army to fight according to the situation. The heroes returned to their assigned garrisons, patrolled the borders, and trained the soldiers.

On the second day, while the troops in various places were still busy making adjustments, Zhu Mingsheng, the village chief of Xinghua Village, came to Baishi Manor by boat. After greeting, Zhao Zhen asked, "Zhu Lizheng, have the villagers of Xueshan Peak encountered green water pythons now?"

Zhu Mingsheng smiled and said, "Sir, let alone green water pythons, we haven't seen any other snakes. The villagers all remember your kindness."

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Why did Zhu Lizheng come here?"

Zhu Mingsheng said, "Sir, the cave has been cleaned up now, the hot spring pool has been cleaned three times, and sulfur and lime have been used to treat various places in the cave."

As he spoke, Zhu Mingsheng took out a white-shelled egg, the size of two goose eggs, from the bag he brought with him, handed it to Zhao Zhen, and said, "Sir, this was dug out from the mud at the bottom of the pool when the villagers were cleaning the hot spring. I have never seen it before, so I dare not deal with it without authorization. I present it today for your decision."

Zhao Zhen looked at it with his eyes,

World Log

White snake eggs (There are snakes in the mountains, they eat stalactites, they don't see the sun, they lay eggs, and they hatch into snakes, which must be spiritual species.)

After Zhao Zhen looked at it, he said to Zhu Mingsheng: "Zhu Lizheng, this is a snake egg."

Zhu Mingsheng looked worried when he heard Zhao Zhen talking about snake eggs. Zhao Zhen continued: "Don't worry, these eggs are not from the green anaconda."

Zhu Mingsheng wiped his sweat and said: "Fortunately, fortunately."

Zhao Zhen said: "Go back and tell the villagers, keep your heart in your stomach, don't say it's not a green anaconda, even if it is, with me here, you can search the mountain again to drive away snakes."

Zhu Mingsheng repeatedly said yes and said to Zhao Zhen: "Master, the bottom of the hot spring pool in the cave is uneven. Do you need to repair it?"

Zhao Zhen said: "Of course I have to clean it up. I have more than a dozen bags of red sand here. The grains of the sand are distinct and warm. You can take them back along the way today and lay them in the pond."

With that said, he called Zhao Yuanli and gave his instructions. Zhu Mingsheng saw it and said, "Sir, I have nothing else to do here, so I will go with Butler Zhao to get Chirisa and rush back to Xinghua Village today."

Zhao Zhen nodded and watched the two of them go down.

After the two left, Zhao Zhen picked up the white snake egg on the table, looked at it for a while, and said to himself: "I will give this white snake egg as a gift to Madam Bai Zhi. I think she will be very happy."
