Chapter 125: Making Enemies, Huaixi Military Honor!

The next day.

When the sky just turned white.

In the forest.

Qiu Fu hugged his sword with both hands, leaned against the tree trunk, and fell asleep...

Beep!

The sharp bamboo whistle sounded suddenly at this moment.

"What happened? What's going on!"

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng reacted very quickly. The moment the whistle sounded, their eyes suddenly opened, they put their hands on the handle of the knife, stood up and looked around...

"Qianhu, it's Zhu Silang." Zhu Neng was angry and raised his hand to point to the road outside the forest.

Look in the direction of Zhu Neng's finger.

Zhu Di stood on the carriage and kept blowing the whistle.

Qiu Fu's lips twitched and he said angrily: "Look, he's not afraid of being beaten to death by the elders in the same village, so we can just watch it."

Zhu Neng couldn't help but laugh.

When I woke up, my anger dissipated a lot.

Not even the regular army of the imperial court got up so early.

On a whim, Zhu Silang disturbed the dreams of a group of farmers so early. Isn't this asking for a fight?

Huh!

Zhu Neng smiled, suddenly let out a light sigh, and his eyes gradually widened.

I saw that the Tuqiao villagers in the carriage circle didn't even curse after being woken up. They all got up and cleaned up quickly...

After packing up their personal belongings, a group of villagers yawned, rubbed their eyes, and walked out of the circle surrounded by carriages.

Zhu Di jumped out of the car and said, "Let's go to the river to wash our faces and wake up."

"Then the fourth uncle took a few people to make soup with the wild vegetables we collected along the way yesterday."

"Uncle Eight will take a few people to feed the animals concentrate, and then add a little fresh grass to the animals. We will set off after an hour, so the animals can still eat as soon as possible."

"I know, Shiro."

"Don't worry, this will take a while, it won't take an hour."

…

Everyone responded and went to the river to wash their faces.

Zhu Neng looked away and said in surprise: "Zhu Silang is in the village, even if he has high prestige, it is impossible for no one to complain if he disturbs people's dreams, right? We are all leaders of the army, and we all know that the better the relationship, the better the relationship. The more familiar it is, the harder it is to manage.”

"Forget about those young people, those older village elders, even if they don't beat Zhu Silang, they should at least laugh and complain a little, right?"

Qiu Fu frowned.

He couldn't understand it either.

"Perhaps we can only know the reason by asking the villagers of Tuqiao Village." Qiu Fu said, "However, we have to admit one thing."

"I underestimated Zhu Silang last night. He knows how to integrate training into his daily routine."

"Look again."

Qiu Fu became more and more curious.

Anyway, the headquarters troops in front have the generals restrained, and there is still an hour before the army wakes up, so they still have enough time to observe Tuqiao Village.

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng were observing.

Uncharacteristically, Zhu Di did not help, but turned back and forth to observe.

“Uncle Eighth, Uncle Eighth, this donkey doesn’t eat fine food.

"Uncle Eighth..."

…

Zhou Lang followed Zhu Di step by step and asked curiously: "Mr. Zhu, what are you observing?"

"Found a problem." Zhu Di said, carefully observing everyone's every move.

Zhou Lang scratched his head in confusion, but didn't bother.

More than half an hour later.

The fourth uncle and others who were making wild vegetable soup not far away put out the fire.

Feeding the livestock isn't over yet.

Zhu Di, along with his fourth uncle, Zhou Lang and others, joined in to help.

Almost an hour later, everyone finished their work and sat around the pot, putting the dry food they had brought together and serving soup for dinner.

It's just wild vegetable soup soaked in pancakes brought out by everyone.

It's not fancy food either.

But everyone ate the delicious food.

The sound of squeaking mouths and sipping soup in circles along the edge of the bowl comes and goes.

Gulu...

When Zhu Neng heard the shouts coming from beside him, he immediately raised his hand, rubbed his belly, and said with a smile: "Listening to the sounds they made while eating, I'm a little hungry."

‘Slippery! ’

Qiu Fu glared at Zhu Neng angrily and funny.

It's his stomach that's growling!

Zhu Neng rubbed his stomach and complained that he was hungry.

His partner's ability to lead troops is not yet known.

But this ability to resolve embarrassment for his boss is something he can't even match up to.

Facing Qiu Fu's funny glare, Zhu Neng was not embarrassed at all and suggested with a smile: "Qianhu, why don't we go to their place for a meal."

Qiu Futi walked out of the forest and asked as he walked, "Their food is not good. Are you sure you want to eat for free? If you can't eat anymore, you will feel uncomfortable eating, and it will also make others unhappy."

After saying this, he observed Zhu Neng carefully from the corner of his eyes.

"We soldiers have strong adaptability. Of course, if conditions permit, we must have better food due to our status."

Qiu Fu looked away and nodded imperceptibly.

Learn more about this new partner.

Slippery is a bit slick, but at least he's not the kind of person who maintains his identity and makes all kinds of unreasonable demands.

He has seen some generals who never forget to satisfy their appetites when they are on an expedition and drive their soldiers to do this or that.

He would rather Zhu Neng's ability to command troops was weak than Zhu Neng being this kind of person!

Such bossy people are in the military.

It will cause the soldiers below to feel resentful.

On weekdays, soldiers hide their grievances in their hearts.

Nothing can be seen from the downwind battle.

Once in adversity.

The accumulated grievances of the soldiers will explode, and it is easy for a group to break up in a bad situation.

"Shiro."

Zhu Di was chewing a wild vegetable slowly.

Autumn wild vegetables are no longer fresh and tender. Even if they have been cooked for a long time, they still need to be chewed so that they do not strain the throat when swallowed.

Hearing this, he looked at Uncle Eight.

Uncle Eight pointed behind Zhu Di and said, "Qianhu, Deputy Qianhu."

"Can we have a meal together?" Zhu Di turned around and Qiu Fu asked with a smile.

Everyone stood up one after another.

Except for Zhu Di, everyone was a little reserved.

Zhu Di held the bowl, pointed at the wild vegetable soup in the pot, and said with a smile: "This is what we eat. If the two generals don't dislike it, let's eat some together."

Zhu Neng glanced at the vegetable soup in the pot and said with a half-smile, "Can't you make a better meal for me and Mr. Qianhu?"

"If conditions permit, of course we are willing. After all, on weekdays, even if we want to curry favor with such a big shot, conditions are really limited." Zhu Di smiled, but what he expressed was the embarrassment of a clever woman who cannot make a living without rice.

At the same time, she secretly cursed: Okay, let's write down a small account for these two things, and Miaoyun can gloat again and be happy all day long. I wonder if her habit will be transmitted to the little cotton-padded jacket during prenatal education...

‘Want to curry favor with us? If I believed your nonsense, Zhu Silang, I would be a fool! You are better than me at meeting people and talking about people, and you can talk about ghosts and ghosts! ’

Zhu Neng looked at Zhu Di and secretly cursed.

Qiu Fu said, "You don't mind. We soldiers are out on an expedition, so it would be nice if we could have some hot soup. Do you guys have any extra bowls?"

"Fourth brother, I'm full."

"And I."

Two smart young people from the same village said hurriedly.

Zhu Di looked at the two of them and asked, "Are you really full? We all do heavy physical work."

"So full."

"I eat quickly, this is my third bowl!"

After making sure that the two young men were full, Zhu Di nodded, "Then you go to the river and wash the dishes."

After saying that, he turned around and invited: "Qianhu, Deputy Qianhu, please sit down and wait a moment."

Qiu Fu nodded and took the lead in sitting on the ground.

After everyone sat down.

Qiu Fu looked at Uncle Eighth and others and asked, "The sky is turning white, and Zhu Silang blows the whistle to disturb people's dreams. Don't you have any complaints?"

Uncle Eighth and others realized that Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng had been observing them for a long time.

Others were a little cautious when facing high-ranking officials like Qiu and Fu.

Uncle Eighth had more experience after all. He raised his head and said with a smile: "We are already used to it in the village."

"Zhu Silang trained you like this in the village?" Zhu Neng's eyes widened in shock.

What does Zhu Silang want to do?

Tuqiao Village is not a health village.

It makes sense to conduct militarized training in ordinary villages and to charge them with conspiracy and rebellion.

Could it be that Zhu Silang wanted to imitate Emperor Zhu of the Xiang Party and rebel?

Uncle Eight obviously knew how heavy the label of military training in an ordinary village was, so he hurriedly explained nervously: "Deputy Qianhu misunderstood, it's the children in the village who have to walk and recite in the morning as soon as the sky turns white every day..."

Explained through Uncle Ba.

Looking at the others, they all nodded.

Qiu Fu and Zhu Nengcai believed it.

Qiu Fu turned his head and looked at Zhu Di with slight surprise, "Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Ling are good people, and they are willing to teach other people's children to read for free."

He had some favorable impressions of the emperor, a country party member, on the basis of his changed views.

Brothers serve the emperor and guard the country's borders. This is the duty of soldiers.

It is really unpleasant for Duke Cao Guo, a village party member of the emperor, to ask his brothers to take care of him.

In the future, will you encounter a dog, a chicken, or a duck from the emperor's hometown, all of which are nobler than your brothers?

Qiu Fu then asked: "I noticed that you guys cooperated well just now in feeding the animals and cooking. You can explain it by morning chanting when you get up early, but what about your cooperation just now?"

"This is how we do things in the village." Uncle Ba didn't quite understand what Qiu Fu meant.

Zhu Di explained with a smile: "Our village, during this period, is engaged in the construction of rural village communities, which is a kind of cooperation between the whole village..."

"Everyone has been working together for a while, so there is a certain understanding."

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng suddenly realized, but this was the first time they heard about the construction of rural village communities.

In Jinling City, rural village communities were still limited to the court hall.

They have not been in Jinling for a long time, and their location does not allow them to come into contact with these things.

Zhu Di saw that Uncle Eighth and others had stopped eating, so he smiled and said, "You continue to eat, let's wash the dishes first."

Qiu Fu nodded.

Zhu Di led everyone to the river.

While washing the dishes, he said: "I have observed that our cooperation this morning was not very good. Originally, everything should be ready to go within an hour, but it took nearly an hour before we started eating."

Zhou Lang finally understood what Zhu Di was observing.

Listen carefully to everyone.

When he set out, Fatty Jiang said: Come out to see more, listen more and do more.

Following Mr. Zhu’s journey, in two months, my personal abilities have improved more than a year of studying!

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng, who were eating not far away, also pricked up their ears and listened silently...

"I analyzed it and found that the reason why we are so slow is actually because we don't have a tacit understanding of cooperation. When everyone encounters something, they go to Uncle Eight, Uncle Four, and Uncle Six."

"They can't do it even if they have sixteen hands."

…

"So, I decided to select people from our village who know various skills and put a mark on their bodies. When the time comes, when everyone encounters a problem, they should first find someone nearby who wears a mark and is not busy. They only look at the mark, not the person. I look for a few people for everything and only wait for a few people to help.”

…

If it is just to escort food and grass, there is no need to make a mark.

We are all from the same village, and we all know who knows what and what they are good at.

Make a mark.

Cultivate the habit of recognizing marks instead of people.

It is best to form a conditioned reflex.

It is to prepare for a rainy day, in order to deal with the sudden attacks of horse bandits and Yuan soldiers that may be encountered after leaving the customs.

After leaving the customs, when we really encounter horse bandits and Yuan soldiers, we will be in a mess under the influence of extreme panic. It is easier to maintain order by recognizing marks than by finding people.

The mark is actually a military rank.

But they are just a group of farmers, and it is better to keep a low profile when doing these things.

As long as it can save lives, who cares what it is called.

Qiu Fu did not hear what Zhu Di said later.

"Only recognize the mark, not the person." He muttered in his mouth, thinking in a trance.

Zhu Neng thought for a while and lowered his voice, "Qian Hu, our guards and horses have the problem of not being familiar with each other. It is easy to know each other, but it is difficult to trust each other if we are not together day and night."

Qiu Fu nodded.

They are a reorganized guard.

The problem of soldiers not knowing their generals and generals not knowing their soldiers is easy to solve.

Chat with the soldiers along the way and you will get to know them.

But for an army, knowing each other is not enough.

Mutual trust is also needed.

Coming from the same guard, everyone is not only comrades, but also fellow villagers. The sense of regional identity generated by fellow villagers is a kind of mutual trust.

Before this, he couldn't think of a good way to solve this problem.

But Zhu Silang's mark, which only recognizes marks but not people, may be a good solution.

In the army, strict military laws are used to stipulate that all soldiers only recognize marks, not people.

Train soldiers to trust and obey marks, not familiar superiors.

"Don't worry, let's see what the specific effect is after Tuqiao Village only recognizes marks but not people." Qiu Fu didn't plan to do it immediately.

His brothers are well-trained soldiers.

As long as this method is useful, it is not difficult to implement.

"Hasn't His Majesty repeatedly warned us commanders not to harbor selfish ambitions?"

"If this method works, I will report Zhu Silang's method to the court and give him credit."

"In the future, the soldiers in the army will only recognize the marks, not the people. Just replace a general and he can command the battle as long as he wears the corresponding mark."

"It's actually a good thing for the court and for us generals. The court can rest assured, and we commanders will be less suspicious and safer."

...

Zhu Neng looked at Qiu Fu, who had already begun to think about submitting a memorial, and his lips twitched. He muttered in his heart: 'You are really stubborn. If this method really works, I don't know how many Huaixi military heroes you will offend by submitting this memorial. Holding the military power, you are the Huaixi military heroes, and the bargaining chips for bargaining with His Majesty! ’

“Captain, there is no need to rush for such a long-term matter. I think we should first see how the specific effect of Tuqiao Village is.”

Zhu Neng smiled and reminded him tactfully, and at the same time secretly said: ‘Captain, I am doing this for your own good. You must understand. ’

After a few days of getting along and observing, he found that Qiu Fu was a good boss.

That’s why he was willing to save him tactfully.

If he had a bad character, he would not hesitate to pit the other party.

After all, the boss was unlucky and left.

He might replace him.

Qiu Fu smiled and said: “Yes, let’s see the specific effect of Tuqiao Village first. I won’t go back. You go back and order our brothers to slow down and march with Tuqiao Village.”

Zhu Neng looked at Qiu Fu and moved his lips several times. He really wanted to ask if he understood his tactful reminder?

“Yes!”

In the end, he didn’t say it. After receiving the order, he put down the bowl and smiled: “My bowl, I’ll have to trouble the captain to help wash it.”

After all, everyone just met. When people get along with each other, the most taboo is to talk about deep things.
