Then, in this banquet hall with high lights and large brocade curtains, the originally awkward atmosphere, which was originally awkward, tense and awkward, seemed to disappear at this moment, and was released in an inconspicuous rush. It was also drowned in the midst of a buzz of fun, praise, and praise.

At this time, behind the twelve screens embroidered with landscapes, flowers, birds, and jade frames, the sound of elegant silk and bamboo music suddenly played; in this lively sound that set off the atmosphere, Zhou Huaian, together with several generals of the Taiping Army and his followers, were also led to the seat of Huang Chao's second place at the bottom right, and sat down one by one from front to back;

Just as he was almost distant from the general manager Shang Rang, who had a distant expression on the opposite side, and the generals behind him were Zhao Zhang, the right commander who was responsible for the welcome.

Zhou Huaian once again used his ability to scan the entire audience, confirmed and marked the area within a large area covering the circle, and there was no unnecessary arrangement or hidden biological characteristics. He finally calmed down and pretended, while looking at the environment around him from the corner of his eyes.

There are lush ancient trees around, with pavilions and pavilions hidden among the trees. As the saying goes, the water by the bank, and the green mountains in the distance are faint, making people rely on it, which is extremely quiet and peaceful.

Just as Xu Ran’s night wind rustled, the courtyard was deep, the corridor was quiet, the water was lush, and the green gauze was like smoke under the moon, which had a sense of quietness, comfort and IKEA. Even the little tiredness and wariness that was originally in the military was as if it was diluted and blown away.

Then after several chimes rang, a delicate female voice from behind the beautiful curtain came, but a line of maids, like butterflies, came out of the curtain, and served them with the silver basin with clean faces and silver tucked in the mouth;

Then the heavier chimes rang again, and like a busy rush, a row of maids of different dresses alternated, and served them one by one, with crumbled orchids filled with rich tea soup, and dried appetizers and dried honey parched on a gilded silver plate.

At this time, the maid with a fluttering skirt appeared again in the third row, but she was holding silver pots and wine jars of various styles, with words such as "Jinlingchun, Songmiaochun, Shifenchun, Bamboo Leaf Spring" wrapped in silk cloth; with the action of opening the court in the open, the fragrant and strong aroma of wine filled the table in an instant.

Next, Huang Chao, who was in the upper leader, no longer spoke much, but instead, the officials of the general's mansion headed by Zhao Zhang, who were present, exchanged greetings, spoke compliments, pleased and funny and liven up the atmosphere. When the sound of cloud plates and the chimes rang, the dishes and the pots of wine were started to be sent to drink and drink, it turned into a warm act of urging the wine.

All of this was also followed by Zhu Cun and Zhang Juyan, who were following him, took turns to deal with it; Zhou Huaian, who was the main hospitality object and one of the focus, just nodded or hummed twice; instead, he focused his energy and carefully identified and looked at the various characters present, their expressions, actions, and attitudes reflected by Zhao Zhang.

For example, the generals on the opposite side who were still in a true color, a little embarrassed with several people behind him, and a faint smile and silent; this is exactly the same as the so-called "I just like to see you feel unhappy and helpless."

For example, Huang Chao is the eighth son of the Huang clan who is closest to his clan and confidant; there are only Huang Rui, the secretary who has met several times, Huang Rui, the right chief secretary, Huang Kui, the official of Kongmu, and Huang Ye, the envoy of Huang Ye; as for other patrol grain courtyard Huang Yi, the general Huang Hao, and the commander of the sect, Huang Cun and Ruigen, were missing.

On the contrary, there were a few new faces behind them. According to Zhao Zhang, they were children from the families of the wife of Huang Wang and his wife. They were also undeniable to Zhou Huaian, or they nodded with politeness and distantness. Only the secretary Huang Rui, the secretary, laughed at him with a kind face when he accidentally looked at him.

There are also civil servants, Li Junru, the left military advisor with deep facial features, Cui Miao, the white skin and broad body, the ritual of the tent, Bai Risheng, the inspector with a narrow face and a long neck, and the military Sima Li Xu, who had a dense scar on his face... each had his reserved and subtle attitude and was faintly transcended from such an atmosphere, and seemed to have been accustomed to this.

There is another representative of the other great rebel army, who is not astonishing but obviously a bit unfair in his appearance; and Fei Chuangu, a stern but hard-hitting rear army envoy, who is thin and long, and has a jumping out of his arms; Pang Shigu, who is loudly talking to the most indulgent existence on the spot, as if no one else was around.

In addition, there are also handsome and merciless generals who are constantly laughing. They always have a taste of food and are speechless. The left army commander Meng Qi, who is eye-catching in the triangle eyes and the royal family accidentally floats over them.

Among them, the public attitude is relatively friendly, which is that Liu Tang, a military gulf who is a little fat and fat, is also a little fat and fat; Wang Mei, the deputy transport envoy who is from a ship owner and has a dark skin, is also openly communicates with Wang Mei, and others.

As for other newly recruited generals, or newly promoted, the faces raised up looked mostly red and black in frost and snow, or the complexion of the skin was covered with wind, sun and rain, and the appearance of thick eyebrows and rings. They were also restrained and cautious in their expressions and attitudes, and most of them were afraid of their heads and tails, but there was no particularly impressive existence.

In contrast, the three Taiping generals brought by Zhou Huaian have their own characteristics; Cao Shixiong, the youngest, is also the most extensive intimate person, and among the people around and opposite, you can always find old acquaintances who can speak inadvertently.

Zhu Cun was a little wise and good at revitalizing the atmosphere. Even if the regenerating person was able to smile and talk about the corresponding topic; Zhang Juyan was honest but didn't speak much, but he was always able to attract the other person's attention in a slight manner.

Zhou Huaian is quite satisfied with the current situation and development.

At least, first showing enough muscles and then taking corresponding benefits can effectively avoid others' contempt and insatiable covetousness from the Taiping Army, and need to reflect on what price they need to pay for this.

If you use this as a prelude, you will have more confidence and trust in trying to dig up people from the main force of the rebel army. After all, there is no benefit in this world that can be obtained for no reason, and the cost of making plans can also make the other party feel at ease.

Of course, Zhou Huaian did not intend to seek the long-standing rebel generals to be able to turn their backs on him; but in the future, some potential signs of historical events or emergence can be solicited and persuaded without any effort.

At least normal history has proved that they have a lot of potential and qualifications, and there is no need to be afraid of the taboo of pulling seedlings to encourage growth; if the status is low and you don’t make a name for yourself, you can correct and reshape your thoughts. Anyway, Zhou Huaian is not the template of traditional emperors and generals, but just needs a group of talent seedlings with potential and can be transformed into them that meet their needs.

At least he has discovered that although the people he trained have a low starting point and a poor foundation, compared with those historical figures under the traditional model, they have low requirements, high enthusiasm, and not very particular about treatment. They are easily moved and endured in difficult environments and treatments.

On the other hand, this statement is also a deterrent and temptation to monetize; at least before the other party gets the corresponding physical objects in batches, any rash behavior will harm the overall interests of the rebel army on the surface, and in disguise avoiding the probability of some potential risk-taking actions.

At the same time, many people were paying close attention and looking at this legendary figure who seemed young but was the best for future generations and was highly valued by Huang Wang.

"It's a good day for the rebels. Everyone is very happy and they can play a cheerful song without much effort."

A general with thick eyes urged to the music squad behind the screen.

"A group of monkeys are so proud..."

Some people also snorted and sneered in secret.

"This is really shameless,"

Someone was so angry that he buried his head in his head and started drinking a suffocating wine.

"This is power, this is strength. With soldiers and food, even the Huang King will treat each other with qualities."

Some people also realized it with great enthusiasm.

When the thick chimes rang again, the fourth and fifth lines of the maids in different skirts appeared in the banquet hall, the objects in their hands had turned into silver plates of clay flowers and white porcelain bowls like Mingyu; they were filled with dishes and soups of all colors and fragrances, and they were lined up with huge cases in front of each person.

In Zhou Huaian's simple scan, at least the ones that can be recognized include water shield bass soup, duck foot soup, dried fish thorn, eggplant wrapped fish, milk-stewed lamb ridge, sugar crab with sauce, pepper-filled chicken, carbon scallion, fried eel with silver fish, soaked pork, roasted lamb with belly, and wild game plates;

In addition to the bright and delicate appearance of the dishes, all of them are thick sauce and heavy oil, thick soup and thick dishes, full of weight, full of typical traditional banquet style of the Rebel Army.

As the finale of the first round of the dishes, the one who was finally carried up was a big pot covered with steaming smoke. After the copper clip was lifted up, a whole "Huang Yang Di Shu" that was roasted and burnt yellow and red was revealed.

"I am so lucky to be with you, the leaders."

Then a thick man with a white face and a few beards walked forward, holding two silver-shining thorn-sharp cutting knives in his hand, and humbly bowed down and bowed down to salute.

Then, Huang Chao, who was in the upper head, nodded slightly, and saw him shouting "Hey" and exhaling force, wielding his knife to bloom like a silver flower on the huge sheep. With the sound of the wind in the hall, the texture of the whole sheep skin that was steamed and three roasted was instantly peeled down like snowflakes, and rolled onto the pre-placed copper plate.

Then, a servant stepped forward and opened the skeleton that had been shaved to the point of only the diaphragm, and suddenly it exposed the pink little pig (pig) wrapped in it; Tong Piaoxiang replaced the knife with a pair of blunt-headed large cutters, and after a few strokes, it was divided into strips with both fat and lean skin and skin in the plate;

Then he took out a simmered goose from the cut inside, pulled his wings and feet directly with his hands to split them into eight pieces; suddenly, from the stuffed stuffed glutinous rice, fragrant scents, fish and other stuffings, a chicken-sized thing rolled out. Finally, he carefully put it in a milk soup cup, and respectfully presented it to Huang Chao, who was the top leader, amid the sound of ding-dong music.

Next, the eight-piece geese were divided into two pieces and treated them to Zhou Huaian's table. The rest were divided into two pieces before Shangrang, Gai Hong and other leaders. Then they distributed the small (pig) lever to the generals and military leaders present. Finally, the sheep was sliced ​​only by the old rebels present.

As for the newly cast rebel generals, probably what they could get was a piece of bones with little meat left; despite this, many people started to chew with flattered expressions.

Zhou Huaian sighed again, this is the so-called bell and dining food, this is the so-called strict class. After so many years of war, the rebel army under Huang Chao has not changed or improved, but it is increasingly paying attention to such pomp, style and decent things;

I saw that it was getting closer and closer to those decadent and depraved classes that wanted to be defeated, and the cannibalistic court was becoming more and more similar. Is this the story of the dragon slaying who eventually could not bear the temptation and grew horns and tails to become a new evil dragon? Is it the best portrayal of reality?

"Brother Xu isn't you satisfied with these dishes?"

However, Zhao Zhang's voice sounded again, interrupting Zhou Huaian's thoughts in the distance.

"No, I just remember the soldiers outside... Is it still full and warm at this time?"

Zhou Huaian couldn't stop thinking about it and found a reason.

"But it's okay. Since it's under the command of Brother Xu, he will arrange someone to send them wine and food..."

Zhao Zhang couldn't help but say in a wide voice.

Zhou Huaian couldn't help but smile helplessly, but he remembered some of the situations he had seen and heard along the way.

Nowadays, the class division and treatment differences among the rebel army have become quite obvious. Even if it is the shabby and down-to-earth rebel army, the soldiers at the bottom of the army are short of food and clothing, eat croquettes, eat wild vegetables and wear wool strands in daily life, while the leaders can drink wine, eat meat and wear silk cloth all day long. And everyone takes this for granted from top to bottom, so Zhou Huaian, who was born under the Red Banner and was influenced by the three socialist views, felt a little uncomfortable.

You should know that under the Taiping Army's Holy Database system, although there are many different treatment differences of detailed hierarchy, at least there are relatively rigorous assessment and evaluation standards to motivate and exert individual subjective initiative based on expertise and diligence; with traceable efforts and directions of struggle, we can ensure a relatively fair flow of personnel and relocation within the system.

In the shed waiting for the order outside, someone carried wine and food to the guards led by Xu Yi; but except for being specially selected, the others touched them symbolically, then took out the compressed rations they carried, and pretended to be feasting on the wine they delivered.
