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 burst into laughter.
The generals knew that he was not good at drinking and did not like to drink, so they spent less time toasting him and more often punching each other, or going 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 fists and shouts coming and going. Chang Yu was already too drunk, and 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.
He is in control and is obedient, 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 interject. 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. Has a date been set for the trip south?" Hui'an Bo Zhang Qingzhen asked.
"We can go south at any time. We're just wondering who should be responsible for this important task. We can't let our family go alone." Chang Yu's voice was slightly louder. The people who were still fighting over the wine became quieter and then gathered around.
"I'm 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, and there was absolutely no hesitation at this time. 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 okay to show 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 matter what, 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 over there, except Wu Sangui, asked to fight again.
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 on 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. 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 catching a count by accident, and thought there was no need to go south to suffer anymore.
"Mr. Factory Supervisor, the last general invites you to fight!" Marco couldn't sit still. Tang Tong in the group was a general and an earl of the Zhu Kingdom. Wu Sangui was the most powerful general of the Zhu Kingdom, but he was no more than a general.
With military rank, if you stay in Changping, you will never be able to get ahead.
"Accurate!" Chang Yu did not hesitate. The reason was very 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 good.
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."
"Walking around".
"It's what you wish for!" Wu Weiying's thoughts have been alive since the time when he was chasing the Tatars. It is boring and boring to rest on one's laurels in Beijing every day. 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, you can find a place where we and the other three can be useful. We can hold whips and drop 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 other three also woke up.
, the little eunuch is giving them a future.
Indeed, as Chang Yu said, these nobles are just hanging around in the capital with idle jobs. 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, you can get a good name like Wu Weiying, and look at her success after she returns 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 doesn't matter if we co-author it?"
"Security in the capital is of the utmost importance, and Governor Wang cannot leave the capital. Logistics for the army's travel are of top priority, so we have to rely entirely on Master 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 the 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 cross the Yangtze River with tens of thousands of mouths..." 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 a head to a thief in vain?" Chang Yu teased, Wang Jiayan and Wu Weiying laughed, and 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 go to the houses of big families. It's not worth it for you to go to ordinary people's houses and get a bowl of rotten rice. Go to big houses! Big houses!" Chang Yu smiled very 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: "Let's chat first, we have guests over there who we want to keep company with." He turned around and walked towards the large private room.
What a slippery thing! 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 soon as he entered the room. Wang Jiayan frowned and said, "I seem to have seen Wu Ming."
Wu Mengming? Wu Weiying raised his eyebrows: "What is he doing here? He came as soon as he came. Why is he so sneaky?"
Ahem, cough, cough, Wang Jiayan seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Jin Yiwei is good at sneaky things, but it goes against his identity...".
