After pledging donations, the food and wine were served. Chang Yu raised his glass and drank three times with the generals. Then he went to the first and second floors and walked around. When he came back, he was drunk and hazy, which made the generals laugh.
The generals knew that he was not good at drinking and did not like to drink. They seldom toasted to him but instead punched each other and drank. Or they went downstairs to have fun with his subordinates. For a while, the fairy house was like a pot of boiling water.
After several rounds of drinking, the excitement continued as the officers and men upstairs and downstairs carried jugs of wine and fought each other, with punches and shouts coming and going. Chang Yu, who was already drunk, was chatting in a low voice with Shi Kefa and Wu Weiying holding teacups. It was the first time for Lehou Liu Wenbing and others to attend such an occasion. They felt the popularity of the little eunuch in the army. No wonder he dared not disobey the military orders. In just a few months, they were able to recruit several big warlords who had their own troops and respected themselves. The monster is obedient under the control of his hands, and he is ashamed of himself just based on this ability.
"Eunuch Chang will be going south to bandit soon, right?" Xuancheng Bowei Shichun looked aside for a while and then leaned over to say something. Everyone's eyes were focused on the young eunuch's face.
Chang Yu smiled slightly and nodded: "How did Uncle Xuancheng know?"
"The war is raging in the south, and the factory supervisor is the best at suppressing bandits. How can the emperor leave you idle?" Wei Shichun chuckled, and Chang Yu couldn't stop laughing: "Our family is ashamed to receive such praise from Uncle Xuancheng."
"It seems to be true. Is there a date set for the trip south?" Hui'an Bo Zhang Qingzhen asked.
"We can go south at any time. We're just struggling with who can take on this important task. We can't let our family go alone." Chang Yu's voice was slightly higher. The people who were still fighting over the wine became quieter and then gathered around.
"You are humble, please fight!" Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong were the first to express their opinions with red faces. The two of them were the best friends with Chang Yu. At this time, there was absolutely no hesitation. Chang Yu quickly stood up: "You two uncles, you can't call yourself like this in the future. Our family can't afford it." Everyone laughed, it seems that Zhou and Huang are not used to their new identities yet.
"Hey, it's just a matter of showing off your authority with this title. In the army, you are the only one who obeys orders. It's no big deal to call yourself a humble position." Huang Degong said carelessly. Everyone said yes, but Chang Yu shook his hand vigorously: "No way. No, the rule of superiority and inferiority must still be observed."
"Yes, it's up to you. You can defend if you want, but when we go south to suppress the bandits, I and Old Zhou will be included..." Huang Degong shouted, and all the generals there asked for a fight except Wu Sangui.
Chang Yu raised his hand to signal for peace of mind: "The court is still debating who will go and who will stay. Our family can only make a preliminary selection of generals now, and the court will decide the details. However, Ping Xibo cannot go, and the intruders are over there. You have to keep an eye on it, and after several months of traveling thousands of miles, the soldiers and horses are exhausted and it’s time to go back and rest.”
Zhou Yuji wanted to say something, but he nodded slightly after hearing this. Liu Zeqing cursed in his heart, favoring one over the other. You felt bad for him when he ran away for a few days, but he deserved it for running thousands of miles with us stepmothers.
"We still need to garrison at the border, Ji Town is the most important, and you have to keep Dingxibo." Chang Yu continued, and Tang Tong nodded in agreement after hearing this. He has been the hardest and most active in the past few months, and of course he has also gained a lot. , I was very satisfied with accidentally catching a count, and thought there was no need to go south to suffer.
"Mr. Factory Supervisor, the last general invites you to fight!" Marco couldn't sit still. Tang Tong was a general and an earl in the group, and Wu Sangui was the most powerful general of the Zhu country. Only he was no more than a general. Military rank, if you still stay in Changping, you will never be able to get ahead.
"Accurate!" Chang Yu did not hesitate. The reason was simple. He wanted to give Ma Ke a chance, and Ma Ke was already a strong player.
"The last general asks for a battle." Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, and Liu Liangzuo are the most bachelors. They know in their hearts that they have to go south and wait to be selected. It would be better to take the initiative to look better.
Chang Yu nodded and glanced at Li Yan: "The Ming Dynasty is so big, do you want to go out for a walk?"
"It's what you asked for." Li Yan chuckled and cupped his hands. Chang Yu glanced at Wu Weiying who was about to speak again: "Master Hou has played a lot with the Shenji Camp. Field artillery is indispensable in this mountainous battle. Master Hou is also accompanying our family." Stroll around."
"It's what you wish for!" Wu Weiying's thoughts have been alive since the time when he was chasing the Tatars. Living on his own laurels in Beijing every day is boring and boring. How can he be as powerful as leading troops outside.
"If you stay in one place for a long time, your vision, thoughts, and mind will become short-sighted and narrow-minded. Therefore, you have to walk more to make progress. Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to have a vigorous..." Chang Yu said His words sounded like he was giving everyone a shot of blood, but his eyes glanced at Xin Lehou, Xuancheng Bo, and Hui'an Bo.
The three of them looked at each other thoughtfully, and then Zhang Qingzhen said: "Eunuch Chang, there is a place where we and the three of us can find a useful place. We can hold the whip and drop the stirrups, and we don't have to do any work."
"My uncle said this, our family is ashamed. If you three really want to contribute to the court, how can we stop you?" Chang Yu was very pretentious, but the meaning of his words was enough, and Zhang Qingzhen and the others also woke up. , the little eunuch is giving them a future.
Indeed, as Chang Yu said, these nobles are just hanging around with idle jobs in Beijing. It is really better to go out and get some experience. Even if they can't earn any part-time work to upgrade their titles to another level, they can pave a good future for other nephews and nephews in the family. , at worst, she can get a good name like Wu Weiying, and look at her success after returning to Beijing.
In just a short while, Chang Yu finished ordering the generals, and the topics of the generals also shifted from the bragging just now to various matters about the upcoming trip south. Either the two of them were whispering, or several people were sitting around arguing about something. , Shi Kefa rubbed his head and Wang Jiayan dragged Chang Yu: "It's not a matter of us co-authoring it?"
"Security in the capital is the most important thing. Governor Wang cannot leave the capital, and the logistics of the army's travel is the most important. We have to rely on Lord Shangshu here," Chang Yu said concisely and comprehensively.
Hey, it's logistics again. Shi Kefa's brain is about to explode. Logistics is really difficult to handle. Things are cumbersome and complicated. The most important thing is that although the court has some money, it lacks food and grass and is stretched everywhere.
"Master Shi, you used to be the Minister of War in Nanjing. This time I don't want you to do logistics in Beijing. You have to go to Nanjing to do it. Tomorrow you will leave early to Nanjing to collect food for the army. You don't have to worry about the logistics north of the Yangtze River. , it’s up to you to have tens of thousands of mouths across the Yangtze River..." Chang Yu cupped his hands, and Shi Kefa's face became increasingly bitter: "I would rather go to the front line and charge into the battle."
"Hey, isn't that just giving the thieves' heads in vain?" Chang Yu teased, Wang Jiayan and Wu Weiying laughed, Shi Kefa helplessly shook his head: "Okay, let's go back and try to be shameless."
"Master Shangshu, let me show you the way. Begging for food must be shameless and ask for it from a wealthy family. It's not worth it for you to go to a common people's house to get a bowl of rotten rice. Go to a wealthy family! A wealthy family!" Chang Yu smiled obscenely, Shi Kefa's eyes lit up: "You mean... Wei Guogong's Mansion."
"We didn't say anything." Chang Yu stood up and cupped his hands: "You guys chat first, we have guests over there who want to accompany us." He turned around and walked towards the large private room.
This is slippery! Shi Kefa cursed secretly, but he was more curious about who was in the big private room. However, Chang Yu couldn't see clearly what was going on inside as he entered in a flash, but Wang Jiayan frowned and said, "I seem to have seen Wu Ming."
Wu Mengming? Wu Weiying raised her eyebrows: "Why is he here? He came as soon as he came. Why is he so sneaky?"
Cough, cough, cough, Wang Jiayan seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Jin Yiwei is good at sneaky things, but it goes against his identity...".
