  Chapter 1697 What does singing before meals mean?

"You silly nephew, as long as you bow your head to the governor and admit your mistake, and change the way of training troops, you can command more soldiers. You know, those are all soldiers transferred from other provinces by the governor, especially Guangxi wolf soldiers are even rarer, I think the governor appreciates you very much, as long as you bow your head and admit your mistakes, the governor will definitely let go of the past, and the nephew who will give you another chance will at least send you a few thousand soldiers."

  Duke Wei found an opportunity, took advantage of Zhang Jing's opportunity to go down to ask the generals of the Zhejiang Army, and pulled Zhu Pingan to a corner, eagerly preaching to Zhu Pingan.

"The Japanese pirates are becoming more and more serious. It is a bad time for ordinary people, but for us, this is a good time, do you understand? If there are Japanese pirates and wars, there is a chance to make meritorious service. Tens of thousands of bones are dead, and the reverse is also possible. As long as you have enough soldiers and horses, as a commander, will you still lack credit? Linhuaihou and I are acquaintances of the general manager. I grew up wearing a pair of trousers. Are you His nephew, that is my nephew, I can't just watch you leave the bright road and take the narrow path instead. Otherwise, when Marquis Linhuai finds out, he will definitely blame me for not being able to persuade my nephew."

"Nephew, you are a smart person, and even more capable. Even those of us veteran nobles, there are few people who are better at military affairs than you. More importantly, you are a person who has fallen into the eyes of the Holy One. If you accept more than ten thousand soldiers and horses, under the care of Governor Zhang, you will definitely be able to make enough contributions to advance to the rank."

   "Listen to me, and bow your head to the governor to admit your mistake. Governor Zhang is an elder and a superior, so there is nothing to lose face."

   Wei Guogong patted Zhu Ping'an's shoulder vigorously while speaking, and pushed Zhu Ping'an in the direction of Zhang Jing.

   "Uncle, do you believe me?" Zhu Pingan shook his head slightly and asked Wei Guogong.

"Uh"

This question seems familiar. Wei Guogong was stunned for a moment, and then the Zhenwu Camp mutiny, Japanese pirates harassing Yingtian and other scenes flashed by. At that time, I believed Zhu Ping'an or not. To be honest, under the circumstances at that time, I did not believe Zhu Ping'an. Ping'an is questioning, and thinks that what Zhu Ping'an said and did is problematic.

   But the result, the above scenes, the final result all proved that what Zhu Pingan said and did was right.

   Now it's time for this question again.

  Wei Guogong couldn't help being stunned.

When Wei Guogong was stunned, Zhu Pingan further said: "Uncle, please trust me again. I have no doubts in the potential of firearms, and I will definitely be able to carry forward them. With the potential of firearms, as long as I follow my thinking, There is no need for other guest troops. Even the Zhejiang Army is enough to cross the south of the Yangtze River. Naturally, there will be no lack of merit. , I am still young, and I still have the opportunity and cost of trial and error, and everyone can understand and tolerate it. If it proves that my thinking and tactics are wrong during the war, then I will bow my head to Governor Zhang and admit my mistake. , I believe that I can also forgive my youthful vigor, people are not sages and sages can do nothing, and mistakes can be corrected, there is nothing good about it.”

   "Hey, what a great opportunity."

  Wei Guogong sighed, but seeing Zhu Ping'an's insistence, he had no choice but to give up for the time being, thinking about going back and explaining the situation to Marquis Linhuai, and asking Marquis Linhuai to persuade Zhu Pingan again, and not to come again when the time is right.

  Although Zhang Jing was somewhat critical of Zhu Ping'an's attitude of relying on firearms, he still spoke highly of the overall situation of the Zhejiang Army.

  Under Zhu Ping'an's kind invitation, Zhang Jing finally accepted the invitation and tasted the big pot of rice from the Zhejiang Army.

"Food is the most important thing for the people, and soldiers are also human beings. If the food is not good, the soldiers will not be healthy, and the training will be affected. If the training is not good, there will be more bloodshed and more sacrifices in wartime. Therefore, the army Food is also a crucial part. We will try your camp’s big pot of rice and see how your camp’s food is.”

   "But I'm ugly to say before, we have to eat the same food as the soldiers, we will eat whatever the soldiers eat, don't make minor adjustments, don't give special treatment, or don't blame me for walking away."

   Zhang Jing emphasized to Zhu Ping'an.

   "Don't worry, Governor, it's only natural." Zhu Pingan nodded naturally, as he had originally considered it this way.

  Zhang Jing all nodded. Although the others were used to being pampered, although they were more willing to drink and eat well, and they were not interested in the big pot meal of the Zhe Army, Zhang Jing nodded, and they could only nod along.

   Soon, it was time for dinner. The soldiers of all battalions of the Zhejiang Army finished their drills and lined up to eat.

  Zhang Jing also led the people to follow the soldiers and go together to see how the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army ate.

  The venue of Zhejun’s canteen is very simple. A straw shed was built on the school grounds. Under the shed are rows of rectangular tables with a long stool on each side of the table. This is the Zhejun’s canteen. However, it is simple and simple, it is very clean and tidy, and the tables and stools are spotlessly wiped.

   After Zhang Jing and his party followed the soldiers to the cafeteria, they were surprised to find that the soldiers did not go in to eat immediately, but lined up in front of the cafeteria to roll their names.

   "Stand still, look to the right."

   "Report the number."

   "One, two, three, forty, forty. Report, there are forty people on the sentry, and when there are forty people, all the sentries are here."

   After the roll call is completed, we can go in for dinner now, Zhang Jing and his party thought to themselves. However, what surprised them was that after the roll call was completed, the soldiers did not eat in the cafeteria, but sang songs on the spot.

   "I am a soldier, from the common people, bathed in the emperor's favor, defeated the Japanese invaders, and eliminated the Huluxiong;

  I am a soldier, love the king and the people, the fire war has tested me, and my stand is firmer; hehe, hold the weapon tightly

  Eyes can see clearly

  Who dares to invade our country

   resolutely beat him without mercy.”

  The soldiers began to sing the Ming version of "I Am a Soldier" revised by Zhu Pingan. The singing was loud and clear, resounding through the sky.

   Soon, another whistle came, and they lined up, called rolls, and sang songs, the difference being that the songs were different.

   "All the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army must keep in mind that the four iron laws must be executed eighteen times;

  First, follow the command in all actions, and only when you are in step can you win;

  Secondly, if I don’t take the masses as a needle, the masses support and like me;

  Third, everything seized must be returned to the public, and efforts should be made to reduce the burden on the court;

  Fourth freeze to death, don’t demolish houses, starve to death, don’t take captives, soldiers are loyal to the emperor and love the people”

  The two guards sang and sang, and they competed with each other. When the song started, you were louder, and I was louder. You sang evenly, and I sang even more, and I was still energetic.

  What's going on here? It's understandable to queue up before eating and roll call. You have strict discipline, but what's the matter with singing? It's fine to sing, why are you still singing? What does this mean? !

  Everyone couldn't help being stunned.

   They have been with Zhu Pingan all the time, and Zhu Pingan never gave such instructions and orders to the soldiers.

   It can be seen that this is the daily life of the Zhejiang Army.

Amidst everyone's surprise, Zhang Jing couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he murmured softly, "Bath to the emperor, be loyal to the emperor and love the people, obey the command, don't take the people's needles, defend the country, defeat the Japanese pirates, instill education in the song, subtly. "

  Then, he turned to Zhu Ping'an and asked, "Zi Hou, this is the ideological education you told me about."

   "Your Excellency Governor has insight."

  Zhu Ping'an clapped his hands and replied, line up, roll call, and sing, the three things before meals are exactly what Zhu Ping'an learned from modern times, and the effect is very good.
