Wang Zhongfu held the plate in one hand and the bowl in the other, and hurriedly found an empty seat to put them down. There were five large steamed buns in the basin, and a bowl full of pork, cabbage and tofu stewed in the bowl. Not long after, Shu Jiming came over. Not only was there a big bowl full of dishes, but the buns on the plate were as big as a mountain.
Picking up a big bun, Wang Zhongfu said to Shu Jiming: "Can you eat so many buns?"
Shu Jiming said: "Of course I can eat it! To be honest, if I weren't afraid of being criticized, I could eat a few more!"
Wang Zhongfu shook his head: "You are really a loser! How can a normal person eat so much!"
Shu Jiming smiled and took a big bite of the bun. He said happily: "It's stuffed with pork and kidney beans! There's so much meat!"
After saying that, he ate the steamed buns and the vegetables in the bowl next to him. He looked like he was devouring his food and had no time to speak.
It didn't take long before the plate of steamed buns was finished and all the vegetables in the bowl were eaten. Shu Jiming touched his belly and said, "It's been a long time since I've eaten so happily! Straight lady, although I could eat before, I can't eat like this. Since I entered the military academy, my appetite has more than doubled!"
Wang Zhongfu said: "Besides going to class, I have no free time every day, so how can I not eat. To tell you the truth, I used to have a small appetite. After staying in the military academy for a long time, I became a pot-bellied man. Everyone is like this. Nothing unusual."
After finishing the meal, they went to get a bowl of soup to drink, and the two of them left the canteen.
Looking at the bustling crowd, Wang Zhongfu said: "This time we went to Hedong Road, Jieshuai really spent a lot of money. There are so many people!"
Shu Jiming said: "When we get to Hedong, life is not so comfortable. I heard people say that there is not even enough food to eat there. So these days, there is plenty of fish and meat in the canteen every day. Just to make us eat to our heart's content!"
Wang Zhongfu nodded. Said: "I didn't expect that we would go to such a difficult place as soon as we left the military academy. These days, I heard people talk about Hedong, but we are short of clothes and can't even eat brown rice every day. Life is hard!"
As they talked, the two walked to the bottom of the tree and sat there to enjoy the cool air.
About half an hour later, a horn sounded, and the two hurriedly stood up and went to line up.
Both of them are already junior officers and each has his own team. The team was organized and led into the school field not far away. There was already an officer there at the school grounds. After arranging the team and giving the order, everyone took out their chairs and sat down in the school field.
Wang Xiaolie and Wang Ruohai entered the school grounds together. Seeing this situation, he said: "The current army finally looks a little better. It is no longer what it used to be. A team can no longer be uniform."
When they reached the rostrum, Wang Ruohai took a seat next to him and Wang Xiaolie walked to the center.
Looking at the crowd, Wang Xiaolie said in a deep voice: "After careful consideration, the Chief of Staff decided that it was necessary to contact the heroes of Heshuo and deal with Hedong Road. This place is separated from our dynasty by Luoyang and is far behind enemy lines, so there are many inconveniences. However, the people are eager to look forward to it. Looking south, looking forward to the return of Master Wang. The Jin army is arrogant and domineering, and behaves inhumanely. We are rebels, how can we ignore it? Therefore, it was decided to set up the Jin and Jiang Recruitment Envoy Department, with Jiang Min as the relocation envoy, and cooperate with Li Songchen who came to Shi and Liang Xing of Zezhou, fighting against the Jin on Hedong Road. You, more than 800 people, were specially selected to go to Hedong."
Wang Xiaolie said it concisely and concisely, and the people below would understand it immediately. They all knew that they were going to Hedong Road to open up an anti-gold base there. Coming here today is to go on an expedition.
After looking at the crowd and seeing that it was quiet below and no one was talking to each other, Wang Xiaolie nodded secretly. Most of the people here are outstanding cadres selected from the army, some are newly graduated military academy cadets, and some are officials. The dispersed sources of personnel are to avoid the formation of small groups in the army, which would bring additional difficulties to Jiang Min. There are all kinds of talents, also to provide convenience for Jiang Min.
Because of the lack of talents, Wang Xiaolie had no intention of setting up a base on Hedong Road. It wasn't until Jiang Min suggested going to Hedong that Wang Xiaolie got interested. A few months later, judging from the letter Jiang Min wrote back, Wang Xiaolie felt that this might be feasible.
Wang Xiaolie has determined the goal of the Northern Expedition, which is to unite with Zhai Xing and attack Luoyang. The battle to attack Luoyang was not a city, but a battle that reached Shaanzhou and Guozhou in the west, Zhengzhou in the east, and the Yellow River in the north. The puppet Qi and Liu Yu will come to aid from Zhengzhou, while the Jin army may come from Shaanxi and Hedong. To the west of Shaanxi, there are the armies of Shangzhou and Lushi County, and to the east there are the armies of Yingchang Prefecture. Only in the direction of Hedong Road, Wang Xiaolie had no strength of his own. The troops of Li Songchen and Liang Xing could only harass and could not pose much threat to the Jin army.
In this case, it would be very useful to have an army in Jinzhou and Jiangzhou. Once this base area was built, Wang Xiaolie completed the siege of Luoyang and waited for the plan to be ready.
Zhai Xing was the governor of Henan Prefecture, Mengzhou and Zhengzhou, and also knew Henan Prefecture. Being able to cooperate closely with Wang Xiaolie is the key to the success of the strategy. Wang Xiaolie has been hesitant because of this reason. Zhai Xing is a local tycoon. It is not easy for him to join forces with him like Li Yanxian. There is no other way to do this but to figure it out slowly.
Looking at everyone, Wang Xiaolie said: "Because Luoyang is in the middle and the roads are inconvenient, your life will be very difficult when you get to Hedong Road. Other things can be transported, but grain and grass are difficult to transport. You must find a way to grow grain. Feed yourself. We support Li Songchen and Liang Xing. We only transport a little food and grass when they are out of business, and they are mainly responsible for transporting. It will be difficult for so many of you."
"So the key to Hedong Road is survival first. You have to find a suitable place, adopt a suitable method, and grow food without being robbed by the Jin army. Only with food and grass can there be subsequent development. The place you choose now is in Shenshan County in Jinzhou. It is among the mountains and there are relatively few roads and is easy to defend. Moreover, the Jin army does not have enough troops on Hedong Road, so it is safer to sit there. However, the land of Shenshan is barren and the people are poor and cannot feed the army. They must find a way to get there. Food and grass are raised in other places. How to arrange it will be decided by Jiang Min, the governor of Jin and Jiang."
"When you arrive at Hedong Road, you must remember that everything we have comes from the people. Soldiers are recruited from the people, food is provided by the people, and even fighting cannot be separated from the support of the people. After you go, you must firmly Take root among the people. Don’t become a soldier, pick up a sword or a gun in your hand, and think that you are the protector of the people. Everything is as it should be. This is a matter of your life and death, so don’t forget it for a moment.”
"Organization is extremely important when fighting behind enemy lines. After arriving at Hedong Road, you must implement stricter discipline and obey orders. You must not do one thing when your superiors say it and do another thing. There is no gentleness in the harsh environment there. . Once you disobey orders, the frontline commander has the power of life and death. Only if you have the spirit of dedication can you have a bright future."
"There are many differences between fighting behind enemy lines and the frontal battlefield. I will order Jiang Min to set up a school to teach the tactics that soldiers need. These tactics are still the same, come from practice and apply to practice. Go. I believe Jiang Min can do these tasks well. I also believe that you will open up a new situation after arriving at Hedong Road. As you develop, we will have the foundation for the Northern Expedition."
"We have paid a lot to set up the base on Hedong Road this time. More than 800 of you are selected excellent talents, and you should make excellent achievements. In addition to you, we have to spend a lot of manpower and material resources. I hope you will Live up to your expectations!”
Listening to Wang Xiaolie's words, the people below had different moods. Most people feel a surge of enthusiasm in their chests and wish they could fly to the east of the river and start their own business there. No one cared about the difficulties Wang Xiaolie mentioned.
