The place where you are invited is in the outer city, but it is not long before Fuhai Gate in the inner city. It is considered to be the edge of the Cao Bie General's station and defense zone. He rushed over with something when he greeted him.

Although Guangzhou City looks a little depressed and dilapidated, there are still people who are willing to serve these large number of rebels who are resident and continue to open and make a living in some streets and alleys that require daily livelihood.

One of the small wine shops named Dongmingju is one of them. There are only the old facades of the two-story building, the greasy black signs and yellow wine flags, and the large wine jars with mottled moist colors half buried under the eaves. They all show that they have existed here for a long time.

The missing lobby was left to the guards brought by the soldiers, and brought large buckets of soup cakes and wheat rice to serve as a place for entertainment and guarding; and several relatively small compartments on the second floor were also demolished, and several tabletops that could be specially cleaned up to make people sit on the ground;

Although the supporting table tables and mats were not believed by the mat, they were all painted with oil and water. They were also matted with straw, and they were soft and comfortable when they fell down. Whether they were cross-legged, leaning against each other, or sitting on their knees, they would not feel stiff.

However, Zhou Huaian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that this was still the ancient times in the late Tang Dynasty. People with a little condition and style all played the custom of sharing meals according to the case. Only the poor at the bottom did not have these poor people, and they just made up for the simplicity of making up for each other.

But before, he was used to squatting and eating in the Nufeng Camp. Today is the first time he has experienced this ancient style of leisurely sitting on the ground. He thought about it, but he couldn't learn or do this "style" style, so he simply put his back on the pillar behind him, and put on a relatively relaxed and willing "Ge You lying".

However, where he did not notice, Chai Wei and Cao Biejiang each had their own thoughts or thoughts, and looked at each other.

"Brother Monk is such a generous person..."

Cao Shixiong said with a smile and sat down casually.

"Mencius should not be confined by worldly rituals."

"We can't help but be pretentious and disgusting anymore..."

"Come on, serve the food quickly, don't neglect the greed in our stomachs..."

Then, amid his call, the steaming hot ones were carried up one by one, and then they were divided into the plates and bowls by the chef, and then brought to their own tables by the gang.

The large plate is made of freshly roasted lamb neck cut into sections according to the joints, large pieces of rotten beef hooves and half a piece of fermented black beef roasted fish. The umami flavor comes from steamed shellfish and white oysters. The only vegetables are wild rice and artemisia vermicelli; there are also bean curds with shredded bean skin, moss and stings, as side dishes to accompany the flavor...

The staple food that was served was a combination of north-south flavors, with glutinous rice soup with coarse wheat cakes with fillings...

Because the seasoning and auxiliary ingredients are not good, the taste is just that, but the specific oil and water and heat are enough, and the heat is harder to avoid the large buckets of rice that are mixed and pasted...

At least the taste of the chestnut rice soup is much better than expected. It seems that it is because the soups such as kelp, seaweed and shelled vegetables are added, which has a bit of the flavor of the mixed grain soups that have been healthy and sold in later generations...

Because Zhou Huaian said in advance that he was not good at drinking, Cao Biezhang Cao Shixiong was also very considerate. He also brought a large jar of slurries (not sedimented or separated wine) as his exclusive drink. He placed a few bottles of Qingjiu in front of him as a companion.

Although the slurry with lots of impurities still a little sour when pursed in the mouth, I asked people to boil it and cook it and beat a few raw chickens in it. After stirring it into egg flowers, the taste became much better.

Zhou Huaian couldn't help but sigh at the details of the opening; after all, he was one of the main rebel troops stationed in the inner city. As a different general, Cao Shixiong could master the resources and enjoy the conditions that he enjoyed were far from being a tight life before, and the newcomer had solved the problem of daily warmth.

Fortunately, all the people here are the rough people from the rebels, and there is not as much etiquette as ordinary people eat banquets. They directly use the things that happened in the arsenal today as a reason, talk about some of the causes and consequences that they quickly talked about, and gradually faded the sense of separation and distance, and became a little warm.

Although Cao Shixiong was born with a thin black stem, he was like a good drinker who was like a person who was a person who was very good at drinking. He also had a very good deed of a heroic demeanor who could speak good but was not annoying. He used all kinds of words and reasons for thanking and persuaded him to drink one cup after another, one cup after another, which made people flawless;

In the end, he simply changed the wine utensil in front of him into a large porcelain bowl on the grounds of not being neat and cheerful. The wine that was poured into his throat and flowed on his beard and neck made Zhou Huaian unable to help but twitch the corners of his eyes and a faint pain in his liver when he saw it.

But I couldn't help but recall the tragic scene when I met the Maoxiong engineer who claimed to have directly picked up the whole bucket of 52-degree Red Star Erguotou as water and secretly used 75-degree medical alcohol to satisfy his cravings at a reception at a consulate in Africa, but was placed one by one by an inconspicuous military officer from abroad.

Although Cao Shixiong drank cereal wine with a lower degree, so much alcohol in it was not a joke. However, he only got up to go to the toilet twice, and he was sweating all over his body, but he still stood still, and his stomach did not deform much. This made Zhou Huaian sigh. Did the ancients also have this kind of degradation of alcohol ingredients and a very fast metabolism, or was it a talent?

In contrast, Chai Wei's performance was much more stable and determined. Although it seemed that there was a lot of advice to drink, it seemed that it was not a little bit, but both in body and arms, there was no swaying or movement at all. The words were clearly organized and were vaguely guided the topic and maintained the atmosphere; it also formed two sharp contrasts with Cao Shixiong who was drinking a little unrestrained.

On the contrary, after drinking a few cups, Zhou Huaian felt a little heavy and blushing, and his ears were hot, which seemed to be the most alcoholic. However, in the three-dimensional view of the human body inside, Zhou Huaian could sense the alcohol component that was being dissolved.

However, he also discovered something quite unexpected. The unknown auxiliary system in his body could actually replenish energy by drinking alcohol; but when he was drunk, it was too slight and not very obvious; then after just a few tastes a filter, there was a significant change, and even the upper energy limit was increased a little.

This is really surprising. Moreover, according to the prompts of his internal auxiliary functions, he should collect/intake more special samples as much as possible to trigger and improve the recovery of the semi-tuning system. Could it be that he would learn from a senior in history who read "Poetry Fairy" and write "Drunk Cat" in the future, and embark on the road of no return to taste the world's fine wine and food (wrong).

However, the unexpected discovery that he could not get drunk was that through these two people who slowly opened their hearts and spoke, and some of the middle-level members of the rebel army who knew everything and expressed their meaning; Zhou Huaian finally completed the impression and general outline of most of the rebel army's military structure in the collection of information in just a few words.

For example, although Huang Chao's army originated from hungry people in Henan with severe drought, it has been learned from the repeated experiences and lessons learned during the journey southward, and has absorbed the old subordinates of the official army that have been defeated to a considerable extent in the military system, and has shown a relatively standardized and neat system.

Nowadays, although the size of each peasant uprising army is different, once it is put under Huang Chao's command, it is organized and used according to the old system of "barracks, regiments, brigades, teams, fire" of the Tang Dynasty's official army; regardless of the number of battalions, it will form a military order, and several military orders will be classified into one wing, and the strongest soldiers will be selected as the military leader and the wing leads.

Therefore, when the rebel army was most powerful, it was once known as the seven-wing to eleven-wing people, and there were all respondents who rose up everywhere, and at that time they were called "the rebel commander of the country" and "the commander of the millions of righteous soldiers"; but after the losses and defections from the north to the south and the division, it can be said that the power was decayed and replaced by powerful forces.

Especially in the Battle of Dayuling, dozens of rebel generals saw that the situation was not good, so they led their troops to expedite the Zhenhai Jiedushi Gao Pian. In fact, the only ones who were able to follow Huang Chao south to capture Guangzhou were left, the left, middle, and back three wings, and more than a dozen military orders.

The more elite part was specially set as "XX Capital" according to the old rules of the vassal states. The quotas are different but they are between the camps and regiments, and there are additional rewards for Zibo grain, armor and equipment. In normal times, they are uniformly assigned to the so-called General Chongtian Mansion, and in wartime, they need to be directed to the commanders of each army and the wing leader is directly assigned.

It is precisely because of this military system that gradually formed in battle that Huang Chao was able to make great achievements in the middle of the revolving encirclement and suppression of various official troops in the Central Plains. Of course, another important reason is that the general attitude of the vassal states in various places to protect themselves and maintain the thieves and respect themselves is similar to the warlords along the way during the Long March of the Red Army in later generations.

In addition, Zhou Huaian also learned that the current General Chongtian Mansion was actually based on the old wisdom of the founding of the Yi and the Sansi of the previous dynasty, and also had a relatively rough official system.

However, under the names of "General Chongtian" and "Million-Million Rebel Commanders", they followed the examples of various vassal states and set up other titles such as Chief Secretary, Sima, Neijia, Chief Secretary, Supervisor, Proxy, and Inspector, but their positions and jurisdiction were quite chaotic and vague;

Among them are temporary local duties and special areas. In fact, there are many overlapping and vague areas of authority. Even under the same title, there are different jurisdictions, or simply a foolish name and level; it is just that no one will care about it in a situation of running around.

Although hundreds of officials were appointed, the ones that were really useful were probably dozens of people gathered around Huang Chao as an aide; and the highest-level one was Huang Ye, the brother of the family who was the chief secretary, planned for Huang Chao, and the old relationship represented by Zhang Junru, the left chief of the army;

They were also one of the targets and targets of this city's agitation and were once assassinated; therefore, they were regarded as some accompanying secrets and internal stories, and mentioned them to Zhou Huaian.

"We have said enough by virtue of it..."

"But I don't know the monk brother..."

Cao Shixiong, who looked a little drunk, suddenly patted his chest with his clothes open and said.

"Would you like to become a sworn brother with me?"

"What.."

Zhou Huaian, who was pretending to be drunk under the influence of alcohol, was shocked. What is this? Is this a means to win closer relationships?
