If the two battalions of Sichuan soldiers were reorganized without the consent of Deng Zhen and Wang Hong, I am afraid that not only Deng and Wang would be unhappy, but also the reorganization would be difficult to carry out.
It was found that the Sichuan soldiers only followed the orders of their officers, and their attitude towards the Jinzhou Army was more like a friendly army than their own troops. The two battalion officers, Guo Cheng and Wang Fei, had a vague attitude. Shi Dayong once showed that he wanted to co-write
The reaction of the two soldiers was that one shook his head immediately and the other remained silent.
This is considered a soft nail.
If Shi Dayong forcibly reorganizes, it will inevitably arouse the rebellion of the Sichuan soldiers. Although he is not afraid that these Sichuan soldiers will cause trouble, their existence is a secret that cannot be told. If the matter becomes big and Gao Qiqian finds out, it will be...
It really caused a disaster.
Therefore, Shi Dayong must obtain the consent of Deng Xuan and Wang Hong, and with their assistance, reorganize the two thousand Sichuan soldiers. He did not want to make any mistakes.[
For this reason, on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Shi Dayong sent people to Shang County to purchase a table of food and wine. In the evening, he secretly sent people to the Sichuan Army camp to invite Deng Quan and Wang Honglai to a banquet.
The excuse is that tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. Knowing that the two brothers are away from home all year round, life is also difficult, so as brothers, I will try my best to invite the two brothers to come to the camp to get together and spend the festival together. I originally wanted to have a banquet tomorrow night.
, but I was afraid that Eunuch Gao would have another banquet there, so I chose today.
When they heard that there was good wine and good food, Deng and Wang naturally did not refuse and came as promised. When the people arrived, Shi Dayong was naturally polite and then ordered people to serve the food. This table of wine and food cost more than eighty taels.
Yinzi bought it from the only restaurant in Shang County. Although there is no delicacy, the dishes are renovated and full of color, fragrance and flavor, which makes people appetite. The wine is also a ten-year-old brew. After opening the jar, the aroma immediately spreads.
It overflowed into the tent, and they took a deep breath with their noses. It turned out that everyone was drunk even if the wine was not drunk. Deng Guan and Wang Hong were so happy that they smiled and kept saying polite words, saying that they wanted their brothers to spend money.
"It doesn't cost anything. It's a blessing to be a brother if you two brothers can come. Come on, come on. Two brothers, please take a seat."
Shi Dayong smiled and took the two of them to their seats. Without saying much, he toasted first and said that his brother had been having a rough time since he offended Eunuch Gao.
I was suffocated to death. Fortunately, my two brothers helped me to put the airs up again, and the general did a decent job. Now that I have a good thing today, I naturally have to share it with my two brothers. What's the matter today?
Not much to say, just one thing, drink and eat, get drunk and then stop!
As soon as they were drunk, they would stop. Anyway, they had nothing to do with each other. Deng Guo and Wang Hong took off their clothes, raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
Shi Dayong kept urging them to drink, and after only half a stick of incense, the three of them were already blushing. The smell of wine was pouring out as they spoke, and their heads began to shake, but their whole bodies were burning.
Shi Dayong's drinking capacity was not good either. In terms of drinking capacity, Wang Hong was the best among the three. If Shi Dayong really wanted to drink with them openly, I'm afraid he would be the first one to fall down.
Before he even said anything, he poured it out first. What's the point? When Deng and Wang wake up tomorrow and leave, he will lose both the good wine and the food.
Therefore, Shi Dayong played a trick and made a toast, but only half of the wine was actually served. The tent was dark, and Shi Dayong was careful. Prince Deng and Prince Deng were good at wine and food, so how could they be suspicious.
In this way, after a few more bowls of wine to persuade them, they saw that Deng and Wang were already in a state of intoxication. Shi Dayong knew that the time had come, and he had to say things now. If it was too late, they were afraid that they would not be able to hold on. Then he hesitated.
He told the two of them that he wanted to reorganize the two battalions of Sichuan soldiers, but he was afraid that the two elder brothers would misunderstand that he wanted to swallow up their troops, so he wanted to consult the two elder brothers. If the two elder brothers did not agree,
, then just treat this as brothers and have never said anything about it.
Hearing this, Deng Quan put down his wine glass, smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Brother, didn't I tell you earlier? This soldier will be your brother's soldier from the day he borrowed it from you. How do you want to make it your brother's soldier?"
Why bother to ask me about something. Your question only shows that we are brothers. Besides, these soldiers eat your food, wear your clothes, drink your food, and will listen to whoever doesn’t listen to you. You can rest assured that they will be reorganized.
, whoever disagrees, just ask him to come to me."
"Hey, no matter what, this soldier belongs to my eldest brother. He is just borrowing it temporarily. He will still have to return it to his eldest brother in the future. In fact, my brother also wants to train this soldier and return it to his eldest brother in the future. He also has the dignity to do it, right?
.”
Shi Dayong knew that Deng Zhen would definitely agree. He said polite words, but his eyes were looking at Wang Hong, wondering if he would agree. If he agreed, he would probably give himself a thumbs up.
However, what surprised Shi Dayong was that Wang Hong stood up unhappily and drunkenly shouted at him: "Brother Shi, you really don't regard Wang Hong as your own family. Let me tell you,
From the day I met Brother Shi, I have made you my friend from the bottom of my heart. However, Brother Shi doesn’t seem to regard Wang as a friend. If he is a friend, there is no need to ask. You can do whatever you want. I
If Wang Hong interferes with anyone, he will be the son of a bitch!"
Wang Hong's attitude made Shi Dayong startled: Huh? Could it be that Wang Hong really drank too much? This is not like his behavior.
But he was so happy that they were so generous. He quickly picked up his wine glass and saluted, "Thank you so much, Brother Wang!"
"It's easy to say, easy to say." Wang Hong didn't know whether it was because he had too much wine or because he was open-minded, but he didn't put any conditions.
With the consent of Prince Deng and Prince Deng, Shi Dayong immediately let go of the stone in his heart, and worked harder to persuade him to drink. After a few more bowls, Prince Deng and Prince Deng finally couldn't hold it in any longer and lay swaying on the table.
.[
Shi Dayong hurriedly asked the soldiers brought by the two of them to help them to rest in his tent. When the two soldiers helped them up, they were still shouting that they would not be drunk anymore, and brothers should fill up the wine quickly. Sure enough, this wine
Drunk people never admit that they are drunk.
The next day, when Deng Zhen and Wang Hong woke up, they did not forget what happened last night, and neither of them regretted it. They called Guo Cheng and Wang Fei respectively and told them to follow Shi Dayong's order to reorganize the two battalions of Sichuan soldiers.
Guo Cheng was actually willing to truly merge his troops with the Liao soldiers, so that he could become a member of the Liao army from a Sichuan army. But because he didn't know if Deng Xi agreed, whether his thousand men would return to Deng Xi's army in the future.
, so he did not express his opinion on Shi Dayong's intention to reorganize. Now that General Deng agreed to Shi's request for reorganization, he was naturally happy and acted very positively.
Wang Fei flatly rejected Shi Dayong that day, and he is reluctant now. The shadow of the Liao army's unresponsiveness in the Battle of Hunhe River still lingers in his heart, so he instinctively rejects the Jinzhou Army. If Wang Hong hadn't agreed
, he would not agree to the merger of his troops with the Jinzhou Army even if he died, and now he can only passively accept his fate.
Shi Dayong divided the Sichuan soldiers of the Second Battalion according to age, and only selected those who were over 18 years old and under 30 years old. Only 800 people met the conditions. These 800 people were placed in the personal barracks - directly under Shi Dayong
direct command.
These eight hundred people were extremely excited when they heard that they had been selected to join the Jinzhou Army's personal barracks.
What is a personal barracks? It is the servants of Lord Commander-in-Chief. These eight hundred people are happy to think that they can enjoy the same treatment as Lord Commander-in-Chief's arrogant servants in the future.
Although the other 1,200 people were not selected, they were not disappointed, because although it was good to become a private servant, it also carried a high risk of losing their lives. In a war, these people had to be at the forefront.
Now that they were divided into groups, Shi Dayong naturally would not let these 800 people mix with the 1,200 people anymore. Instead, he ordered Li Dashan to rebuild the camp on the left side of the Wolf Cavalry camp for the 800 soldiers to live in.
