The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 559
Although the north wind howled in the cold winter, the training ground of the Ming army in Zhongmingbao was still in full swing, and the roars of tens of thousands of men were earth-shattering.

Xu Sijiu, the fifth-rank military officer, led the propaganda team and asked loudly the soldiers of the Ming army who were in training: "Brothers, are you suffering?"

Bewitched by the daily propaganda, the Ming army was already able to answer the sudden question of the propaganda team with a mechanical roar. At this time, everyone said in unison: "Eat enough, dress warmly, how hard is this little training?"

"Brothers, are you tired?"

The Ming army continued to roar: "We don't care about the tiredness of killing Jiannu, winning military merits, receiving silver rewards, and returning home alive to see his wife and children!"

"Brothers, do you want to repeat the mistakes of the Battle of Changshan? Do you want to be captives and become slaves of the Jin army, or do you want to become cold corpses on the battlefield? Do you want to make meritorious service and go home alive? Sleeping on the hot kang with your daughter-in-law in your arms?"

"We don't want to be defeated, we want to go home alive." The sweating Ming army shouted in unison.

"Brothers, practice hard! Follow the 'God of War' men and horses, as long as you have the strength to fight according to the orders, we guarantee that most of the brothers will receive military rewards and return to their hometowns."

A confident voice sounded: "Understood, we sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime. We obey orders and obey orders, and we are invincible."

Although it is already the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, none of the Ming army said strange things, and no one complained of suffering or tiredness. The private soldiers of the Huang family fought with them, and their catchphrase was "Brothers, sweat more in training and bleed less in war." .”

For the first time, too many Ming soldiers received full and uncompromising food and wages, the best food since joining the army, the Ming-style mandarin duck battle coat produced by Nuanyang Yanghuang's family, and strong and warm big-toed leather shoes. The training was hard. Some no one dares to complain.

Everyone knows that the Jiannu army is close at hand, whether one's own combat effectiveness is directly related to the success or failure of this battle, only a strong one can have a chance of survival.

At this time, a soldier from the propaganda team came and announced loudly: "I have good news for everyone. The [-] training activists selected today will not only eat a double portion of meat, but also invite everyone to watch a theater tonight."

The Huang family always rewards hard work and punishes laziness, and trains the pacesetters to eat double portions of meat dishes. The laggards only have dry rice, cakes, and vegetarian dishes, and no meat.

Today the crew started to perform, and immediately gave [-] hard-working fighters a chance to watch the show.

Drama, a form of publicity that everyone loves to see, is so effective, Huang Sheng will of course seize any opportunity to entertain and educate.

After the tens of thousands of Ming soldiers fought with the Huang family, how many of them were assimilated and became volunteer propagandists of the Huang family?
"Watching a play?" It was so fresh, and the Ming soldiers were discussing it a lot, especially the fighters with outstanding training results in today's selection were even more curious, because they were rewarded for watching a play.

A private soldier of the Huang family said: "Rural bun, what's new about watching a play, we often watch it.

Master Shangyi brought the crew acting in the capital to the Zhongmingbao Grand Theater. Tonight's show is "Blood Fire Liaodong". Unfortunately, it is not a new play. We have watched this play seven or eight times. "

"Little brother, are you going to the theater tonight?" a flag officer of the Ming army accosted.

The Huang family's private soldiers said happily: "Of course we will go, our appointment will happen to be today."

"Little brother, you have read it seven or eight times, and then you see what's the point, why don't you give me the opportunity!"

"It's a beautiful idea. We are willing to watch it eighteen times. The delicate Yun lady is cute, and the brothers in our Zongqi like to watch it the most."

Another private soldier of the Huang family asked: "Hey, brother, do you like Yunniang played by Yi'er, or Liu Rushi? I like Liu Rushi's appearance."

"Haha, I'm different from you. I don't like these two people. I like Mei'er's performance. She is so penetrating. It really makes me feel pity."

"Not necessarily, not necessarily, Rumeng's acting skills are perfect..." another soldier interjected.

The Huang family's private soldiers have all seen the play, and immediately developed from talking about the plot to talking about the characters, and then began to form several fan groups, including supporters of Liu Rushi, admirers of Meier and Yier, and loyal fans of Rumeng , They were blushing for a while.

It is not uncommon for ordinary Ming soldiers to get the chance to watch a play, and it is even more unbearable for them to listen to the private soldiers of the Huang family talking about the play.

Quan Yong and Ge Chengjie, the two chief executives, looked at their subordinates arguing and didn't stop, listening cheerfully.

Ge Chengjie asked Quan Yong: "My lord, you have also watched the drama 'Blood Fire Liaodong' many times. I wonder which of you most admire the appearance of everyone?"

Quan Yong laughed and said, "I dare not say."

Ge Chengjie was surprised, "There are also performances that dare not say who I like..." He suddenly realized and pointed to Quan Yong: "Haha, your appreciation level is not low!"

Quan Yong said: "It's a pity, I'm afraid it will be rare to see the real face again in the future!"

Of course what they were talking about was Lan Caier, the head of the production team. Of course, there were very few people who were lucky enough to watch her act on stage.

At the end of the year, Zhongmingbao was very lively. There was a sympathy group from Yongping Mansion. The lineup was strong. The officials from the government and Taiwan personally led the team, and a lot of pigs, sheep, poultry and eggs were sent.Immediately afterwards, a team of labor troops came from Sichuan, and Qin Liangyu's beloved daughter and nephew personally led the team.

There is also the honorary support group led by Zhu Dacheng and Wu Xiang who came from the capital. Each of the nobles paid out silver to purchase a large amount of military supplies and sent them to the front line. They also played with Nan Guogong by the way.

Lan Shangyi brought three sets of crews to perform condolences at the Zhongmingbao Grand Theater, arranging six performances a day.The Ming soldiers suddenly felt like a dream, and they didn't know where they were.How does this feel like being on the front line?It's even more festive than celebrating the New Year in my hometown.

Visitors from Yongping Mansion, Sichuan Province, and the Capital Division were all attracted by the Ming army training in Zhongming Fort. Zhu Dacheng and the others had seen the tens of thousands of Ming soldiers before. Lao Gao's eyes were wide open, and his answers to questions were like roaring.

Everyone likes warriors who are fierce and fierce. Those who came to work in the army have served the "God of War" and led the troops, knowing that this time the Duke of Nanguo will win and return to the court just around the corner.

With such fierce troops defending Zhongming Fort, Jiannu was far outside Jinzhou City to eat the wind and snow, and the princes who came to work in the army were not in a hurry to go home. Everyone stayed here to celebrate the New Year with tens of thousands of Ming troops.

On New Year's Eve, Nanguo rewarded five silver coins to every soldier who participated in the war and the staff who came to the front line to condolences. The soldiers of the Ming army were naturally happy, and of course the morale was like a rainbow. Everyone sang and danced happily to prepare for the New Year.
