My god, run!!!

An hour later, all the personnel at the base received their wages, including the cooks. Except for Zhao Hu, who received 30 yuan, the others received 15 yuan each. Five yuan for food and ten yuan for resettlement.

After receiving their wages and rations, everyone happily came to the 1000-person hall to have the New Year's Eve dinner. When everyone walked into the hall and saw the 200 roasted whole lambs, they immediately burst into warm cheers.

Many of them had seen sheep, but had never even eaten mutton, let alone roasted whole lamb. You could tell at a glance that each roasted whole lamb weighed over 100 kilograms, and there were a total of 200 roasted whole lambs here.

Oh my god, long live the captain... long live the captain...

In addition to roasted whole lamb, there are also dumplings, which I heard are stuffed with leeks and pork, and a bottle of Shanxi Fenjiu for each person.

Oh my god, this New Year’s Eve dinner is so sumptuous that everyone’s eyes are full of stars and their mouths are watering.

While the food is usually good, tonight's New Year's Eve dinner is the best yet, and there's even wine. You know, the captain usually forbids alcohol, so tonight, we have to drink! Each of us gets a bottle of Shanxi Fenjiu. "The captain is so generous! Long live the captain!" these 1000-plus brothers exclaimed.

In an instant, everyone shouted, "Long live the commander... Long live the commander..." The shouts resounded throughout every corner of the base.

Zhou Zheng pushed down his hand from the main seat, and the hall fell silent instantly. He said loudly: "Today is the boss's 30th New Year's Eve. I wish all brothers a happy New Year's Eve and a happy New Year. I won't say much else. Brothers, let's eat!"

As the team leader Zhou Zheng shouted to start eating, everyone's enthusiasm was ignited. 6-7 people gathered around a roasted whole lamb, holding the roasted lamb in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other. They said "cheers" while eating, took a sip of wine, and then grabbed the dumplings to eat.

tasty...

tasty...

For a moment, the place was filled with laughter.

Zhou Zhengze, Chen Xinyi, Zhao Hu, Hua Rong, Yi Pao, Li Daniu and the two brothers Li Erniu sat together around the roasted whole lamb.

This is the first year I have spent since traveling through time. There will be many more years to come, but the meaning of this first year is different. Some things in this era are quietly changing because of my arrival.

At the beginning, I was hiding because I was outnumbered. Even though I had cheats, I couldn't withstand the crowds of others. I didn't have the strength, even though there were only more than 1000 of them now.

But I have the ability to protect myself. After the New Year, I will recruit soldiers and have several thousand men. With my current foundation and the geographical advantage of Shuang'er Mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, I will be fearless at least in Shuang'er Mountain.

"Come on, brothers, raise your bottles and let's have a toast. I, Zhou Zheng, would like to thank you all. Without you, there would be no Zhou Zheng today, no home in Shuang'er Mountain today, and no Shuang'er Mountain Independent Regiment."

"It's all in this bottle. Cheers."

"Brother... Cheers."

After a few sips of wine, Zhou Zheng looked at Hua Rong and the others and said, "Let me give you a tip. After the New Year, we will start recruiting soldiers. Zhao Hu will become the deputy commander and chief training instructor of the Shuang'ershan Independent Regiment."

Zhao Hu had received the information from Zhou Zheng in advance, so he was not very surprised.

"Don't be unconvinced, you guys. Zhao Hu is a top graduate of the Military Academy, a professional soldier, and has received all kinds of military training. You, on the other hand, are just monks who changed their careers. Don't think that just because you killed a few bandits and bullies, or a few Kuomintang scum, you can do anything."

"If I ask you to command a company or a battalion in battle, can you do it? If you can't, what should you do? Then train hard, study hard, keep learning, and keep improving."

"Let me tell you, after the New Year, our Shuang'ershan Independent Regiment will recruit several thousand people. Once all of these people are trained, we will select squad leaders, platoon leaders, company commanders, and battalion commanders. I won't give you any backdoors. The military is a place where the strong prey on the weak. The weak are defeated and the strong are promoted."

"If you don't train like crazy, study hard, and become the battalion commander, I won't have the face to show myself."

"Those brothers will say that those veterans who first followed the commander were nothing special, not as good as us, the first group of soldiers who followed the commander. If they say that, can you still hold your heads up high in the Shuang'ershan Independent Regiment?"

"Don't worry! Big brother, we brothers will not embarrass you. We brothers will definitely be the battalion commander."

Zhou Zheng looked at them, his provocation working, and said with a smile, "It all depends on your performance."

"Yes..." Hua Rong and others said seriously.

At this time, some brothers came to toast to the team leader Zhou Zheng, and Zhou Zheng responded one by one. Then Zhou Zheng, the team leader, also toasted these brothers one by one, wishing everyone a happy new year and good food and drink.

Zhou Zheng can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. His famous saying about wine is "It's wine, it's water, drink it, get drunk, sleep, and then there's something else."

Seeing that their leader was approachable and had no airs, everyone came to chat with leader Zhou Zheng. For a while, the atmosphere was quite warm and harmonious.

Before I knew it, it was early morning. Firecrackers were heard outside, and the new year began.
