Qiming 1158

Chapter 314 The advanced deeds of Xin Qiji
Red candles are burning in the wedding room, and at a glance, it is full of festive red.

The bride sits on the edge of the bed with a red hijab on her head, and there are utensils specially designed to lift the red hijab on the table.

Su Yonglin went straight forward, sat down next to Zhao Xirui, and shook Zhao Xirui's body, as if she was frightened.

"What, are you scared?"

Su Yonglin asked in a warm voice.

"It's just a bit of an accident... Why don't officials follow custom?"

Zhao Xirui's voice trembled slightly.

nervous?
"A few customs can control the sky, the earth, and even your marriage room? If you and I can't even be the master of the marriage room, it's too helpless, right?"

Su Yonglin laughed and didn't lift the red hijab. He lay half-body on the soft bed, breathing comfortably: "From the early morning until now, you've been tossing for a day and a night, and you're exhausted, right?"

"I'm alright... just sitting in the back."

"Sitting is also very tiring."

Su Yonglin straightened up, stretched out his hand and slowly lifted off the red hijab on Zhao Xirui's head, and a face that was lightly put on pink and beautiful appeared in front of Su Yonglin.

"Officials are really mavericks."

Zhao Xirui didn't seem to be surprised by this, just complained.

"It may be relatively new to you, but you will soon get used to it. There is nothing that I, a smuggler who was born in the southern country but came to the northern country to rebel, can't do it."

Su Yonglin laughed and stared at that beautiful face for a while.

Zhao Xirui looked away slightly, a little embarrassed.

"Do officials have to look at me like this?"

"Of course, you are my wife, why can't I just look at you righteously?"

Su Yonglin started directly, caressing Zhao Xirui's face with both hands, very happy.

Zhao Xirui seemed to feel Su Yonglin's happiness too.

With Su Yonglin holding her face in both hands, Zhao Xirui was embarrassed, but she didn't know how to stop Su Yonglin, her eyes were looking around, and her face was slightly hot.

Fortunately, Su Yonglin's stomach grumbled, breaking the strange atmosphere.

"hungry."

Su Yonglin retracted his hands, stood up with a smile, walked to the table, and looked at the sumptuous food on the table.

"I haven't eaten anything decent since morning, I'm so hungry, how about you?"

"I'm not hungry……"

As soon as the three words were uttered, with a grunt, Zhao Xirui's stomach also rang.

Then the little head lowered deeply, as if it shrunk into a ball, which was quite interesting.

Su Yonglin laughed, stepped forward, bent down, grabbed Zhao Xirui's hand, held her, slowly pulled her up, and took her hand to sit at the dining table.

"There is no one else here. This is the first time our husband and wife have eaten together at the same table. Don't worry, don't hide it, eat whatever you want, and eat whatever you want."

With that said, Su Yonglin first stretched out his chopsticks and stuffed a large meatball into his mouth, and chewed it beautifully.

Zhao Xirui looked at Su Yonglin's devouring look, and was stunned for a while, then swallowed, unable to resist the temptation of the food, she stretched out her chopsticks and took a piece of stewed mutton into her mouth, and immediately covered half of it with her sleeve. His face didn't seem to be like the one that Su Yonglin saw her eating.

Su Yonglin didn't care either.

Zhao Xirui obviously didn't know what to say. It would be too embarrassing to just eat, so Su Yonglin took the initiative to open the conversation.

"I can only eat such delicious dishes when I get married."

Zhao Xirui looked at Su Yonglin curiously.

"How could it be? Officials are the rulers of Hebei. Although they live a simple life, they can't eat all these things, right?"

Su Yonglin smiled and shook his head.

"Of course I can eat it if I want, but I usually spend my days in the military camp. The military doesn't pay attention to these things. The military pays attention to fast, convenient, and satiety. These dishes are too complicated."

"What do the army usually eat?"

She was clearly interested in this comparison.

"It's rather monotonous."

Su Yonglin pointed at the dishes on the table and said with a smile, "Don't even think about these things, it's not easy for the veterans of Huotou Battalion to make cakes for the soldiers when they are busy. A good choice, it is common to steam the wheat directly and eat it.”

"The wheat is steamed and eaten?"

"Well, it's the kind of wheat that hasn't been husked, steamed with water, and eaten in bowls. The side dishes are also very simple, some salted vegetables, occasionally some oil and water, and some cured meat, every month. Eat three or five times, of course, if you are full, you will never run out of food."

Su Yonglin said with a smile: "My promise to every soldier is to absolutely feed them and never let them go to war on an empty stomach, but it is very difficult to go further than that.

Most people like to eat cakes as their staple food, but it takes too much effort. Grinding wheat into flour, then turning the flour into cakes, cooking cakes, soup cakes and other cakes, only the army is stationed When there is no war, the Fireheads have time. "

"That's it."

Zhao Xirui nodded slowly: "Does that officials usually eat that kind of wheat rice and salted vegetables like sergeants? Don't eat anything else?"

Su Yonglin nodded.

"I have formulated the military law myself. In the army, from the commander to the soldiers, everyone eats the same food. Only those who have won battles and made meritorious deeds can get extra meals. Since it is stipulated by my commander, then as a commander, I have to lead by example."

"Lead by example."

Zhao Xirui smiled slightly: "No wonder the official became the No. 1 general of the Liberation Army. When I saw him today, I knew the rumors were true."

"The No.1 general of the Restoration Army...is just a false name, I don't care, I only care about whether I can win the battle and overthrow Jin Ting."

Su Yonglin swallowed two more big meatballs in a row, and then smiled: "The sergeants eat fast, and I am like them. I eat very fast. It can even be described as rude. I hope you don't mind."

"Will not."

Zhao Xirui immediately shook her head: "Officer, I don't care about this kind of thing."

"Then what do you care about?"

Su Yonglin heard what she meant, put a piece of meat in his mouth, and looked at Zhao Xirui while chewing.

"I will care if the officials treat me sincerely."

Zhao Xirui put down her chopsticks and looked at Su Yonglin seriously, without her previous shyness.

Su Yonglin also became a little serious, put down his chopsticks, and looked at Zhao Xirui seriously.

On the wedding night, the couple's first heart-to-heart relationship is of great significance.

"How can I treat you sincerely?"

Zhao Xirui pursed her lips and hesitated for a while before speaking.

"No matter what happens outside, I hope that the officials will not carry it alone and hide all their sorrows and sorrows in their hearts. You can tell me that although I can't help the officials solve difficult problems, it can at least make them feel better.

Daddy used to be like this, no matter what happened, as long as he was unhappy, he would hide it in his heart. He only smiled at me, as if there was nothing unpleasant, but behind my back he frowned and sighed, he thought I couldn't see it, but I saw it all.

It’s okay if I can’t see it, but if I can see it, then I will be worried, I will be very worried about what happened, whether it is dangerous to my father, whether it is dangerous to my family, I will think wildly, and it will be difficult to sleep. , that taste is really very uncomfortable. "

Zhao Xirui put her hands on her chest and looked at Su Yonglin like a prayer.

"Just because I'm a little girl, don't you tell me anything? I'm also part of that family. If the family is in trouble, can I live alone?"

This question is very well asked.

Su Yonglin also thought of his past self in a trance.

"In the past, I was the same as you, and my father and grandfather were the same to me. They are the head of the family and the elders, so they should take full responsibility for it, and I am a child, so I should not think about anything, Don't worry about it, just be obedient.

As long as I can follow the path they have planned, that's fine, the others won't tell me, they won't discuss with me, they will only tell me how to do it when things come, and tell me to do it is right. "

"Yes yes, that's it!"

Zhao Xirui raised the volume: "No matter what will make me happy or make me unhappy, Daddy will never discuss it with me, just tell me when it's over, is it just to discuss it with me?

"Yes."

Su Yonglin nodded: "So I can understand what you have experienced and how you feel in your heart. I have also experienced it, and I feel the same way. For parents and elders, my opinions and my opinions are insignificant, and they don't care at all. ."

"That's right!"

Zhao Xirui nodded vigorously: "That's why I'm very sad and unhappy. I always find out when it's coming. It even makes me feel scared. Even when my father enters my room, I can't help but feel nervous."

Seeing Zhao Xirui's appearance, Su Yonglin couldn't help laughing.

"A woman who can express her dissatisfaction like you is really rare in the world. As far as I know, most people may think that it is natural for their elders to do this, and then get used to it, and then think it is a matter of course. As it should be, very few people think this is wrong."

Zhao Xirui was stunned.

"So, do the officials think I shouldn't be like this?"

"No."

Su Yonglin picked up the chopsticks, and smiled and took a piece of fried shrimp ball and brought it to Zhao Xirui's mouth: "You are right."

"Really?"

Zhao Xirui's eyes lit up: "Don't officials really think I'm wrong?"

"Of course, that's what I think too. If you're wrong, doesn't it mean I'm wrong?"

Su Yonglin smiled and said, "Open your mouth."

Zhao Xirui smiled sweetly, opened her mouth and swallowed the shrimp balls in one bite. After chewing a few times, she realized that she quickly covered it with her sleeves.

However this is of no use.

"I've seen it all, so what are you covering up? Don't you feel tired? You are still covering up in front of your officials and me, don't you think of me as a family?"

Su Yonglin took another shrimp ball and stretched it out in front of Zhao Xirui.

This time Zhao Xirui figured it out, put down her hand, picked up the hair that fell to her mouth, ate the shrimp ball into her mouth, and then chewed it generously.

Su Yonglin nodded happily.

"Since we are married, you and I are one husband and wife, I promise you that I will not keep any unhappy things in my heart and not tell you, and I will also tell you all our progress and dangers, so that you can have A clear judgment, whether we win or lose, whether it is safe or dangerous, I will never hide from you."

While chewing, Zhao Xirui nodded again and again, looking very happy.

She is really happy.

Of course, Su Yonglin was also really happy.

The only thing he worries about is that if Zhao Xirui can't understand his thoughts, his actions, and the beliefs he upholds, it will be somewhat sad.

But for now, it looks like it can be expected.

This woman is very unusual and has great value for guidance.

Isn't Xin Qiji a good example?
In addition to coaching drillers during training and classes, and participating in various training activities of the Guidance Department, Su Yonglin felt that he was going to take Tian Guizi's job and replace Tian Guizi as the Director of the Guidance Department.

The most powerful instructor in the Red Axe Battalion led by Xin Qiji was not the real instructor, but Xin Qiji himself.

Sometimes the instructor's skill is not as deep as Xin Qiji's, and Xin Qiji can explain the truth that the instructor can't understand, so that several times, the instructor of the Red Axe Battalion listened to Xin Qiji's lectures with the soldiers.

Listen to Xin Qiji talk about the contradictions between the local tyrants and evil gentry and the peasants and how the peasants should resist.

It seems that Xin Qiji has forgotten that he was once a traditional intellectual from a large landlord family.

But really speaking, Xin Qiji's transformation of himself is quite thorough.

Before he turned against Jin, because he was worried that he would not be able to persist for a long time, or that the Restoration Army would not be able to persist for a long time, in order to prevent himself from retreating, he used his family wealth to recruit volunteer soldiers.

To disperse one's wealth is literally to dissipate one's wealth.

His family was passed down for three generations, and he had nothing to worry about. He dismissed all the servants, gave birth to children, sold all the land and houses except the ancestral house and the ancestral hall, and then recruited troops to buy horses.

After Su Yonglin came, he also handed over the remaining part of the unspent military funds to Su Yonglin, which was regarded as his personal sponsorship for the uprising of the Restoration Army.

To be honest, Xin Qiji is now a standard proletarian.

He is now living on the army's salaries and the free meals and benefits of the army. He has no material desires, and he lacks interest in things such as allocating land. His mind is full of military training and theory.

Then there is the fact that he is a teacher explaining Su Yonglin's theory to the soldiers.

He never tires of training soldiers and explaining theoretical knowledge to soldiers as a teacher.

He seems to have found a channel for his spiritual satisfaction from it, so that after such spiritual satisfaction, he doesn't care much about material enjoyment.

Xin Qiji, who has a profound cultural foundation, can also explain Su Yonglin's ideas in more refined language and excellent logic, and make some subtle metaphors, so that soldiers with poor cultural foundation can also understand what he wants to tell, so that the soldiers can This theory can be accepted faster and better.

I have to say that Xin Qiji is a good seedling of an instructor.

With him around, the Red Axe Battalion's instructors felt that none of them seemed necessary to exist.

Tian Guizi told Su Yonglin about Xin Qiji's advanced deeds several times. After realizing Xin Qiji's strong language organization ability and infectious ability, he even suggested that Su Yonglin transfer Xin Qiji from the front-line troops to be responsible for guiding the work of the department.

Tian Guizi believes that Su Yonglin continues to expand the size of the Guidance Department and the number of instructors, which is a good way to strengthen the control of the army and the grassroots, but it is a great challenge to the training capacity of the Guidance Department.

Because of planning training plans all day long and assessing the quality of the instructors, Tian Guizi is already incapable of doing things. He desperately needs some talents who are proficient in theory and good at preaching and teaching to be his deputy and help him train the instructors together.

After choosing and choosing, he took a fancy to Xin Qiji and wanted Xin Qiji to help him.

Su Yonglin doesn't mind this. He also thinks that Xin Qiji is a good candidate, but he still thinks that Xin Qiji's military ability is indispensable at present. He believes that Xin Qiji's military ability is very important in the upcoming wars. .

However, he also promised Tian Guizi that after the overthrow of the Jin Kingdom and the unification of the Central Plains, he could consider letting Xin Qiji participate more in the work of the Guidance Department and train more excellent instructors.

At that time, the important task of remotely controlling the peasant uprisings in the Southern Song Dynasty, Dali, Korea, Xixia and other countries and making them exhausted may fall on Xin Qiji.

With such a successful case, Su Yonglin was not worried that he would have a different dream with the person beside him.

And what's more - she's only 16 years old.

A 16-year-old girl can do everything in time.

However, after thinking about it, Su Yonglin suddenly felt that it was necessary to set up an organization with more complete functions, expand the guidance department and add some functions.

Perhaps outside the administrative functions, the Steering Division can be established as an organization more in line with its own goals, to specialize in tasks that government agencies cannot undertake.

With such an organization, Su Yonglin can have another arm to perform tasks outside the Restoration Army organization, and even bypass the bureaucracy when necessary, do his own business, and suppress the bureaucracy.

When ordinary emperors feel the constraints of the bureaucracy, they tend to establish spy organizations to carry out such tasks, but the bureaucracy is always on guard and suppresses the spy organizations, and the spy organizations are overly dependent on the emperor’s personal power, which is unfounded. Ping, you can't go long.

A strong emperor can use the spy organization to suppress the bureaucracy, but once the emperor is not so strong, the strength of the spy organization will no longer exist, and may even become the emperor's heart disease.

If you want to achieve long-term and sustainable goals, you must give this organization an upright identity, power, and foundation.

As an upright organization, the Guidance Department has an upright authority, and has done a very good job of sharing some of the tasks that the bureaucracy should be responsible for.

Without the guidance department's control over the grass-roots rural areas, Su Yonglin could not have a stable source of troops and taxes.

With the continuous expansion of the occupied area, strengthening the functions of the Guidance Division seems to be an option that must be put on the agenda.
