Chapter Ninety-Nine: Brothers Reunite and Have a Drink
Zhu Chongba, who was holding a wine glass, suddenly shuddered, looked around, and said strangely: "The doors and windows of this house are closed, why is there still a cold wind coming in?"
Tang He smiled with drunken eyes: "You drank too much, how can there be a cold wind?"
Zhu Chongba smiled, "It can't be a little lady who thinks about me, right?"
"Big brother, you are really ......" Tang He shook his head with a smile, picked up a jar of wine and stuffed it into Zhu Chongba's arms, hugged a jar himself, and said with a wink: "It's rare for the generalissimo to allow you to drink today, but you can't waste it." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe eldest brother has no place to live now, and he is squeezed with the younger brother. ”
"Very good, very good. ”
The two hooked their shoulders and staggered back to Tang He's room, and as soon as they entered the room, they regained their clarity and smiled at each other. In the past, the brothers drank wine and ate meat in a big bowl in Zhongli, and this little wine still didn't get them drunk.
Tang He said half with joy and half envy: "Congratulations to the eldest brother, he was promoted to the general flag as soon as he arrived in the army, and the younger brother of this speed is beyond his reach." ”
Guo Zixing's army officers and soldiers are allocated to 10 100 households under the jurisdiction of a thousand households, with 1,120 soldiers; 1,000 households are set up in 1,000 households, and there are two people in 1,000 households who are in charge of Wupin, and two people from the Wupin Institute (Zhenfu is an official in charge of military discipline, and 100 households can exercise their powers on behalf of 100 households when there is a shortage of personnel), and one person from the 6th rank. One hundred households has two general flags under its jurisdiction and 112 soldiers; one person from one hundred households has one person from one hundred households of six grades, and one person from one hundred households with six grades. The headquarters has jurisdiction over five small flags with 56 soldiers, and the small flag has jurisdiction over 10 soldiers.
Tang He followed Guo Zixing for several years to get into the position of a hundred households, and Zhu Yuanzhang became the general banner as soon as he came, how not to make Tang He envious. He only hated that he didn't have the same ass as Zhu Chongba, and wasted years of time in vain.
"There are more than 100 people under your command, and I only have dozens of people, which is far worse than you, and I will have to rely on my brother to support me in the future. Zhu Chongba said modest words, but he couldn't hide the smug color on his face.
Tang He said: "What kind of support, big brother is ashamed of me, I still count on my eldest brother to come and help me......"
"What's the matter, someone is bullying you?" Zhu Chongba's eyes widened, and his ferocity was exposed.
Mingren doesn't say secret words, and the brothers have nothing to hide. Tang He nodded and said: "It's not a secret, since they beat Sun Deya and they established themselves as handsome, the generalissimo has released rumors that he wants to re-select a thousand households, and the younger brother and several other hundred households are competing." If everyone competes fairly with the younger brother and doesn't say anything, there are a few people who stumble and make tricks in private, including Zhao Baihu. This man used to follow Sesame Lee, and when Sesame Li was killed, he took people to the Generalissimo. He only came a few months earlier than his eldest brother, and the generalissimo thought that he would bring people to invest in the institute to reward him for being a hundred households, but the qualifications for promotion were not enough. This man has no self-knowledge, so he has to jump up and down. ”
Zhu Chongba smashed his fist on the bed, and said angrily: "I said that I reported your name, and that guy also arrested me as a spy, it turns out that the crux is here." ”
Tang He said ashamedly: "It's the younger brother who has affected the eldest brother." ”
"What are you talking about, if your brother is still a monk in Huangjue Temple, how can there be a general flag. In the future, no matter how well we mix, we can't forget the other brothers. Zhu Chongba had the aura of a big brother, waved his hand to interrupt Tang He's confession, and swore an oath: "Let that guy be proud for a few days, and when I gain a firm foothold in the army, I must always find an opportunity to clean him up quickly." ”
"Brothers are single-minded, and their profits are golden. Tang He knew that Zhu Chongba was scheming, and there must be a way to rectify Zhao Junyong, and he was a lot more relaxed when he let go of his worries, so he took a sip of wine from Zhu Chongba, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, you and I can reunite thanks to Miss Ma, if she hadn't suggested recruiting talents to the generalissimo, I wouldn't have been able to call you here." ”
"Which horse girl? your good looks?" Hearing a girl's surname from Tang He's mouth, Zhu Chongba suddenly became interested, and his eyebrows and eyes looked particularly obscene.
"Cough, cough, don't talk nonsense, this horse girl is the generalissimo's daughter, she is a very smart woman, but it's a pity that her life is not good......" Tang He choked on the wine, did not wipe it, hugged the jar and lay on the bed, sighed: "Her father is a famous Liu Dashan in Su County, and he was a brother with the generalissimo, and he unfortunately lost his life when he followed the generalissimo, but this girl has become an orphan since then, if it wasn't for the generalissimo to take her in, I'm afraid she would have been dead long ago, but Mrs. Guo was not good to her...... Forget it, don't mention this, drink! You and I meet again today, and we must not get drunk and not go home. ”
Zhu Chongba's cheeks twitched, and he was a little weak-hearted. Liu Dashanren's daughter? Isn't it the little baby who he and Zhou Bi flickered around and will be a queen in the future? Speaking of which, he also saved this girl and got a lot of benefits from Liu Dashan. I thought that something happened to Liu Dashan, and this woman couldn't escape being killed, but she didn't expect that she was still alive, but this time she met Tang He again because of her suggestion. However, when I thought that Liu Dashan was long gone, this girl was only born at that time and didn't know anything, and Zhu Chongba's little heart was gone.
At this time, Guo Zixing was still immersed in the joy of "the birth of the star", but unexpectedly, a bad news came, and there were people fighting in the barracks, and even one person was killed and one person was seriously injured.
This is not the first time this has happened. Since the Yuan army besieged Haozhou, the Red Turban Army did not dare to confront the Yuan army head-on, so they had to lock the city gate. Over time, the low quality of this army, which was built by peasants, idlers, and splashers, was gradually exposed. The collective consciousness of the team is weak, coupled with the influence of the enemy's strength and weakness, the morale of the soldiers is low, impetuous, and often for some trivial contradictions, they will verbally abuse and even fight, which has led to many evil incidents.
Guo Zixing once severely punished several soldiers who took the lead in making trouble, but the effect was not great. He didn't dare to kill all the troublemakers, for fear that killing too hard would arouse the resistance of other soldiers and soldiers, and forced his subordinates to the ranks of Sun Deya's marshals.
Guo Zixing summoned the generals to give advice, but these people were all from poor backgrounds, and they had received formal militarized management education. Those who are impatient will only suggest countering violence with violence and killing those who do not obey the management and make trouble; those who are gentle will desperately persuade Guo Zixing to appease the main thing, and turn big things into small things and small things into nothing.
All of the above methods have been used by Guo Zixing, he heard that his subordinates made all meaningless suggestions, he was angry, and sighed that Liu Bang had Xiao He's assistance, but he didn't even have a dog-headed military advisor, when would he become an emperor and a king.
When Guo Zixing was anxious, Ma Xiuying found Guo Zixing and said: "Now my father-in-law's subordinates are an army, and they can no longer be as casual as they used to be in the farm, and they should really make the military orders fall like a mountain, and there is no joke in the army." Only by cultivating an army that completely obeys orders will it be invincible and invincible in future battles. My father-in-law may have enforced military discipline as I suggested. ”
Guo Zixing sighed, "I don't know the importance of military discipline, but you see, these soldiers have all kinds of people, and it's really hard to manage." I also showed the generals the advice you wrote on how to train the regular army, and they all said that it was a very good suggestion, that is, it was easy to say, but it was difficult to do, and it was estimated that it would take a long time to completely educate this group of peasants. ”
"Military discipline must be strictly enforced, and perfunctory appeasement will only make the army more chaotic, and if we do not resolutely put an end to this kind of behavior, there will be more and more troubles in the future. After listening to Guo Zixing's understatement, Ma Xiuying couldn't help frowning, a general who couldn't even restrain his own subordinates was really incompetent. However, she can also understand Guo Zixing's helplessness, Guo Zixing himself is a big boss, and most of his generals are farmers with little education, and it is indeed difficult to expect these farmers to suddenly change their faces and change their guns for bird cannons.
"Do you have any good advice?" Guo Zixing knew that Ma Xiuying had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, since he came to ask for a meeting, he must have an idea again, no matter whether it was good or not, he always had to listen to it.
Ma Xiuying was prepared, and said with a slight smile: "If there is a reward, there will be a punishment, and you can reward those who have made meritorious contributions, and you can't help but punish those who make mistakes......"
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Guo Tianxu disdainfully, "How do you punish my father? If the punishment is heavy, those people will defect to the team of Sun Deya's thieves, and the punishment will not work if it is light." You talk nonsense just after reading a few books, and you don't understand anything and come to point fingers, causing chaos for my father. ”
Ma Xiuying looked at Guo Tianxu coldly, and when he was bored and closed his mouth, Ma Xiuying accused mercilessly: "Can you not interrupt casually when others are talking, it's just that there are too many people like you, so the soldiers under my father-in-law don't obey management." ”
Guo Tianxu was annoyed and angry, "Ma Xiuying, what do you mean?"
Ma Xiuying ignored him anymore and looked at Guo Zixing, "Does my father-in-law still want to hear what I say later?"
Guo Zixing glared at Guo Tianxu, "Shut up, let Xiuying finish." ”
Guo Tianxu's face turned into a pig's liver, but he didn't interject again, he wanted to see what good suggestions Ma Xiuying could say, if he couldn't say it, he would definitely go back in humiliation.
Ma Xiuying said calmly: "My father-in-law might as well try to punish those soldiers who violate military discipline in the whole army. These errant soldiers were kept in solitary confinement so that they could reflect on their mistakes. During the detention period, only a small amount of food is provided, ranging from one or two days to three or five days, and the period of detention may be extended if they persist in repeated corrections, and of course, those who have a better attitude of admitting their mistakes can also be released from confinement ahead of schedule. ”
Guo Tianxu laughed and mocked: "This punishment is really ridiculous, you don't need to be beaten with a military stick, you don't need to be fined military salary, but you have food and shelter, I want to try it." ”
"Okay, if the confinement room is completed, you are welcome to experience it first. Ma Xiuying said sarcastically, and said to Guo Zixing: "Father-in-law, you might as well try my suggestion, if you are worried that it will not work, you can build two confinement rooms in the military camp first, it will not take much work." It is best to build this confinement chamber downwind of the hut, and each confinement chamber should be spaced a few feet apart, so that it is completely enclosed, so that the person being punished does not have the opportunity to communicate with the outside world. At the same time, no matter who makes a mistake, the father-in-law must not be partial, and he must not show mercy when he should be confined. ”
