It was already afternoon after the Guangdong New Army crossed the Qinhuai River. The rain began to get heavier and heavier. Zhao Guodong found a small mountain bag three miles away from the river bank according to Zhu Hongsan's order and set up a camp in that place.

Although the Guangdong New Army only stayed here for one night, they could not be careless about safety. Fortunately, there were 20,000 migrant workers who followed the new army, and they were the main force of local work.

Before dark, the Yingpan was built. The Yingpan was not an ordinary round, but a polygon, making full use of cross-fire power. A large amount of caltrops were sprinkled in front of the Yingpan. This thing was cast iron and cost only a few cents. However, this inconspicuous cold weapon was definitely a cost-effective weapon for sneak attacks at night. Zhu Hongsan's factory could not produce barbed wire, otherwise two layers of barbed wire were surrounded by wrecks and cannons outside the Yingpan, and no one could rush in.

After all the preparations were completed, the army had already started. Zhu Hongsan stipulated that as long as it was in the army, no matter who was in the army, no matter who everyone had to eat. Of course, scholars were not included. It would be better to kill them than to let them have dinner with Qiu Ba of the army. Tong Yangjia and Qian Qianyi took their families and they made it themselves.

But Zhu Hongsan did not have this treatment. After the meal, he and Zhu Hongyi also came out to make meals with tableware. Zhu Hongsan established this regulation to create a good relationship between officers and soldiers. After all, he still needed his subordinates to work hard for him.

When the soldiers saw the emperor and a group of high-ranking officials come out to make food, some of the recruits were so scared that they knelt down and prepared to kowtow. A veteran and the squad leader were shooting this embarrassing guy, kicking him up quickly.

The Second Division and the Imperial Guard Division came out this time to fight with Zhu Hongsan. Needless to say, the Imperial Guard Division has been with Zhu Hongsan all year round, and the Second Division also has many veterans for many years.

Zhu Hong San greeted him while walking: "Old Li, how about it? His leg injury is healed?"

"Ergouzi, why are you still a company commander? You have become the commander of the first period of yours, so you have to work hard!"

"Sanwazi, your wife has given birth! Is it a boy? Congratulations!"

If Qian Qianyi, Jiang Yueguang and other literati were around, they would have secretly scolded Zhu Hongsan for being hypocritical, but they did not understand Zhu Hongsan's military system. In this era, there were two systems: recruitment system and guard office system. The advantage of recruitment system was that it could ensure the combat effectiveness of soldiers, and guard office system could reduce state investment. However, Zhu Hongsan was not prepared to adopt these two types of systems, and he used a system similar to that of military compound in later generations.

Soldiers are similar to low-level officers, and they take the military pay and distribute the land. If you become a major battalion commander, you can bring your family to the army, so you will enter the military compound. This relatively closed environment is in this environment. In this environment, children under the age of fourteen can drink a glass of milk and eat beef every day, which is unimaginable outside. At the same time, the hierarchy concept of strict army in the military compound has not been abandoned. The military rank is higher than the first level of residence, supply, and guards will be higher than the first level. In this way, the second generation of generals have been in a class society since childhood and knows that if they get more, they have to fight to get more. Zhu Hongsan estimated that within fifty years, he will cultivate a large number of military nobles like the German Junker nobles, who are the favorable backing of the German emperor.

Of course, such military aristocrats will inevitably lead to bureaucracy and rigid system, but that is the future. Now Zhu Hongsan must ensure that the army he created is absolutely loyal to him. Even after his death, the control of this army must be firmly controlled by his successors. As for democracy and constitutionalism, it will happen hundreds of years later.

Zhu Hongsan came to the officer's meal window and made a meal of his own. It was a good day. He stewed with potatoes with pork, fried cabbage with vegetables, and stewed with pork bones with winter melon. It was raining now and the weather was very cold. He added a lot of pepper and chili to the soup, and took a sip and became hot all over.

Zhu Hongsan has always eaten fine stews, but today he has to eat all the meal. Zhu Hongsan jokingly with the officer while having a big mouthful of food.

Zhao Guodong has lived in the army all year round, so this kind of meal is naturally fine, but he didn't eat. He is from Henan. He grabbed two big steamed buns and chewed them hard. While eating, he whispered: "Sir, the rain seems to be getting heavier tonight. Be careful of the Qing army's sneak attack at night!"

Zhu Hongsan nodded and asked, "The gunpowder must be preserved well, and more scouts will be sent! We are only more than twenty miles away from Nanjing. I guess tonight will be the last chance for the Qing army. Don't slack off!"

The division-level officers present were veterans who had fought many wars, so they naturally knew the severity of the matter. After hearing Zhu Hongsan say this, they nodded to reassure the emperor!

After dinner, Zhu Hongsan returned to his big tent. As soon as he came in, he smelled a fragrance. It turned out that Wang Wan'er had prepared wine and food in the big tent, waiting for Zhu Hongsan to come back to enjoy it.

In the past few days, Wang Wan'er discovered that Zhu Hongsan was different from the kind of foolish monarch who killed people without blinking in the society. Zhu Hongsan respected women very much and treated them completely equally. Wang Wan'er was from a wealthy family and knew that her concubine was a little better than a maid, and some people were displeased by the owner, but Zhu Hongsan gave people a very different feeling, just like your friend, and she would even joke with you if she had nothing to do.

After Wang Wan'er learned about Zhu Hongsan, she gradually relaxed and accepted her identity as a concubine. In fact, although Zhu Hongsan's wives were different, except for Ma Xiaofang, everyone else was treated the same, even Bian Yujing, who had the lowest background, was like Ma Ruyan. This was not how Zhu Hongsan loved these women, but as a modern person, he really did not have the class consciousness of the ancient times.

Wang Wan'er knew that Zhu Hongsan was delicious. Today he went out to have dinner with the soldiers. The military food was large and the amount was full, so naturally it was not very particular about workmanship. Zhu Hongsan would definitely not be full, so Wang Wan'er made several typical Huguang dishes in the kitchen behind, waiting for Zhu Hongsan to come back to eat.

Zhu Hongsan looked at the four large bowls on the table, which were steamed fish, a white chopped chicken, a bowl of pork ribs stewed lotus root, and a garlic-meat pork.

Zhu Hongsan looked happy and said, "Oh! You made these delicious foods, Wan'er?"

Wang Wan'er smiled sweetly: "Those three were made by me. Isn't your Majesty's hometown Wuchang? So I made some Huguang dishes, and I don't know if they match your Majesty's appetite. The pork head meat was asked by Eunuch Li to go to the kitchen. He said that Your Majesty likes this! "

Zhu Hongsan was a northerner in his previous life, and his favorite was garlic-meat pork head. Seeing this, he said to Li Chengen: "Old Li. I didn't expect you to remember this, it's good!"

Li Chengen was very happy to receive the praise and quickly said, "It is a blessing for the old slave to be able to serve the emperor!" After that, he quickly arranged the dishes and chopsticks to serve Zhu Hongsan to sit down!

Zhu Hongsan was half full outside. When he came back, he saw the pork head meat twitching his index finger, and picked up a chopstick and dipped it in his mouth. "It's delicious! I remember that I didn't have money when I was a child. After stealing the money from foreign merchants with my elder brother Tieniu and others, they all went to the Laowang deli restaurant in Xicheng and cut two pounds of pork head meat. Unfortunately, there was no garlic at that time, so it was really not enough!"

Wang Wan'er was very puzzled. You should know that this way of eating is only available in the north, only in Zhili, northeast China, and there is no raw garlic in the south.

"Your Majesty, who did you learn this way of eating? It seems that Huguang doesn't eat like this!"

Zhu Hongsan could tell him that he was from later generations: "Oh! I learned from a Shandong merchant. I couldn't get used to it at first, but then I became addicted to it. With rice wine, there was really no one else!"

After eating pork head meat, Zhu Hongsan looked at the steamed fish again. He remembered that his mother Zhao Chunhua had come. Wang Wan'er suddenly found that Zhu Hongsan stopped talking and stared at the bowl of steamed fish in a daze with tears in her eyes. Seeing Zhu Hongsan like this, Wang Wan'er was very surprised. You must know that in his impression, Zhu Hongsan killed people without blinking. There were thousands of relatives of the Eight Banners in Hangzhou, and Zhu Hongsan cut his head without blinking. Unexpectedly, seeing this master crying today is a spectacle of eternal sensation.

"Your Majesty, why are you sad!"

"Oh, when I saw this steamed fish, I remembered that my mother who depended on me for her life! My mother liked to make steamed Wuchang fish for me the most at that time!"

This is the first time Wang Wan'er has heard Zhu Hongsan play his story in Wuchang's secret residence, and she can't help but feel gossipy. After all, the market says that this emperor is a fake royal family, so why not ask carefully now?

"Your Majesty, can you tell me more about your past events?"

Zhu Hongsan was seduced by Wang Wan'er, and after drinking two glasses of rice wine, he started talking.

"I came from Chu Fan, you know that my ancestor was Zhu Mengju, the tenth son of the first king of Chu Zhu Zhen, Jiangxia Kangjing, King Jiangxia Kangjing, but when it was passed to my great-grandfather, he was already a lieutenant of Fengguo, with 400 stones of grain every year. Before the Jiajing period, he could still pay in full. As the number of royal families increased, the quality of Lu Mifa became less and less. By the time of my grandfather, only one hundred stones of grain and three hundred stones of treasure banknotes were given every year. Do you know what treasure banknotes were? It would be hard to wipe the butt, so it could be spent as money. My grandfather and four brothers, and the other few had contact when my father was still alive. After my father died, they would cut off contact. Who would care about you? My unlucky relatives had a lot of fate and followed me to Guangdong, and they had the face to ask me for a title, so that I could beat them all with a stick. Since I didn't recognize this relative back then, don't ask for it now!"

After hearing what Zhu Hongsan said was interesting, Wang Wan'er couldn't help laughing and asked with a smile: "Is the family of His Majesty the Emperor's Demolition of the Emperor's House even more difficult?"

It took Zhu Hongsan a long time to realize that the Supreme Emperor was talking about his deceased father: "That's not true. After my father died, my grandfather helped me, so I took over the position of Lieutenant of Fengguo early. The 200 stone of grain can still be collected every year. In addition, my mother Zhao Chunhua is very diligent and has opened a grocery store to sell some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, needles, threads, etc., which can make you feel good and fed!" Zhu Hongsan was thirsty and drank the rice wine in his glass, and Li Chengen around him quickly gave it to him.

When Wang Wan'er heard it interesting, she quickly asked, "What's going on later!"
