Chapter 107 Distilled Liquor
Afterwards, one soldier after another stepped forward to challenge. No matter it was an individual battle or a team battle, no matter it was bare-handed or a weapon test, these soldiers could not last more than three moves at the hands of the four people.
They were convinced. This time they were really convinced, wholeheartedly!
The military camp has never looked at background, only strength is used to determine strength. This competition also established Ye Ze and his men's status in the military camp!
He Chengfeng showed a delighted look on his face and said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect there are such talented people among the new recruits. They are no less talented than Deputy General Mu back then!"
"Then let's reward them according to their merits. Ye Ze will be appointed as Captain Ye of the Vanguard Battalion, in charge of 100 people. Zhao Youliang and the other two will be credited with the merit of having the first place... They will be temporarily promoted to the position of Shichang, and will be under the command of Captain Ye."
"Thank you, General!"
"Well, you have just been promoted. If you have any questions, you can ask General Wang." He Chengfeng looked at Ye Ze and said slowly.
General Wang is He Chengfeng's man, and Ye Ze was originally a soldier in the vanguard camp. Assigning him under General Wang means that Ye Ze is also his man.
Ye Ze clasped his fists and bowed: "Thank you, General!"
He Chengfeng nodded, and gave General Wang a few more instructions before leaving with a big laugh. What he needed was a general like Ye Ze who had no background but was powerful! Only such people would be loyal and work for him!
As He Chengfeng left, the soldiers on the parade ground gradually dispersed, leaving only nearly two thousand soldiers from their vanguard camp. They surrounded the four men with cheers and congratulations.
General Wang was left aside. He cleared his throat awkwardly, stepped forward and pushed the soldiers aside, scolding: "Don't you have anything to do? Go back quickly!"
Soldiers: Of course we have nothing to do. We don’t have to train today!
But how dare they refute General Wang's words? General Wang shouted them all back.
General Wang finally had the opportunity to step forward and talk to Ye Ze and the others. After some polite exchanges, General Wang said, "From tomorrow on, the 19th Squadron of the Vanguard Battalion will be in charge of the training. How about that?"
"General, can I select soldiers from the recruit camp myself?" Ye Ze asked.
General Wang looked at him in surprise, and finally nodded in agreement.
Ye Ze himself was a new recruit, so how could he train any soldiers? So he asked General Wang for an old soldier to help train the soldiers he selected.
The reason why Ye Ze wanted to select his own soldiers was actually to gather all the Ye family members together. Sooner or later, they would have to go to the battlefield, and at least the chance of saving their lives would be greater if they followed him.
That night, Ye Ze finally didn't have to share a bunk bed with 20 other people! General Wang allocated a small tent to him at the vanguard camp. There was only a single bed in it, and there was a wooden table beside the bed. Even so, Ye Ze was already very satisfied. He lay on the single bed alone and soon fell asleep.
When selecting soldiers the next day, Ye Ze was the first to select the Ye clan members. Ye Changqing was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. The ancestral tombs of their old Ye family were really smoking! It had only been a few days since he arrived, and Ze Ge'er had become an official!
Seeing that Ye Ze's side was short of people, Zhao Youliang hesitated for a moment and then said, "Brother Ze, bring the Zhao clan members over as well."
Ye Ze naturally agreed, but he did not force it. He only said that the Ye family members of Liushu Village and the Zhao family members of Zhaojia Village had priority, and it didn't matter if they didn't want to go with him. After all, as the general of the vanguard camp, Ye Ze had to be at the forefront in the battle.
Even so, many people still stood up, including the soldiers who were rescued by Ye Ze before. A careful count showed that the number of people exceeded a hundred. The extra people had to withdraw first, and they kept reminding Ye Ze worriedly that he must remember to take them away next time he made a contribution!
Ye Ze divided the hundred people into three teams, led by Zhao Youliang and three others. After returning to the training ground of the Vanguard Camp, Ye Ze handed the people over to Zhang Dazhuang, a veteran selected by General Wang, for training.
As for himself, he immersed himself in studying the formations used on ancient battlefields, trying to find a combat plan suitable for their team of a hundred people.
After careful consideration, Ye Ze finally chose the cone formation and the long snake formation. Both formations require cooperation between soldiers, which can not only maximize the survival rate of soldiers, but also effectively kill enemy soldiers. If there is shield protection, it will be even more perfect.
For the next seven or eight days, Ye Ze and his team of 100 people spent their time in intensive training. It was not until Xu Wu came to tell him that everything was ready that the three of them went up the mountain together, found a secluded and flat valley, and began to make high-concentration liquor.
As soon as the wine jar was opened, Xu Wu couldn't help but take a long breath: "It's a waste to use such good wine to treat injuries. If it were me, I would rather use the scalding method. Just give me this wine to drink!"
Ye Ze-_-||: "......"
"Haha, don't listen to his nonsense, he just wants this." Mu Xingchen laughed, "Ye Ze, do you know where this wine comes from?"
Ye Ze followed the steps given by the system in his mind to set up the iron pot and distiller, and asked, "Where did you buy it from?"
"Pulled from your house..."
Before Mu Xingchen could finish his words, Xu Wu spoke first: "Don't mention it, the corn wine you brew tastes really good!"
Ye Ze was surprised for a moment, "You really went to my house?"
"We can't get away, so we had to hire someone from the escort agency. Let me try some first." Xu Wu couldn't help smacking his lips as he savored the aroma of the corn wine.
Ye Ze nodded: "Fifth brother, drink as much as you want. By the way, I will return the money you gave me later. How can I let you spend money to buy the wine I brewed at home?"
"What's the point of talking about money? Who are you looking down on? Your wine didn't come for free." Mu Xingchen waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Don't worry, I'll sell it directly to the quartermaster camp when the time comes. I'll make a lot of money from such a good thing. Then we can split it among the three of us. You take the big share and we two will take the small share."
"Okay." Ye Ze smiled and said nothing more.
As the temperature at the bottom of the pot rises, alcohol and other volatile components will be cooled and condensed into liquids. These liquids are the liquor obtained by preliminary distillation. In order to obtain liquor with higher concentration, multiple distillations are usually required. The liquor obtained by preliminary distillation is poured back into the pot and the distillation process is repeated to increase the alcohol concentration.
Soon a strong aroma of wine filled the air. He could smell it but couldn't drink it. This was simply torture for Xu Wu. He almost drooled.
"Do you want Brother Wu to taste it for you?" Xu Wu rubbed his hands and asked Ye Ze, his eyes fixed on the iron bucket used for collection.
