Chapter 1070: Convincing
Zhao Yu did not give much explanation for Wang Yinglin's suggestion to alienate and surrender the army, but said that the current new brigade has been trained for two years, and most of the senior officers are selected from the old guards, and most of the grassroots officers are selected and transferred from the cadets who have completed their martial arts studies, and only a few officers are appointed by the surrendered army. In addition, the new brigade is trained by the surrender of the army, but it only accounts for half, and most of the rest come from recruits recruited from all over the south of the Yangtze River, and the Hakka people account for more than eighty percent.
Wang Yinglin couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, the little emperor used the method of 'fighting poison with poison' to contain the surrendering army, but he was also relieved a lot. He knew that whenever there was a war in the Central Plains in the past dynasties, a large number of people would move south, and after the Jingkang Revolution in this dynasty, there were also many northern Han people who crossed south with the imperial court and were called Hakka. Because of the lack of local land resources, the Hakka people emigrated to various parts of the southern provinces, and many Hakka people went to Guangxi, Fujian, Sichuan, Shu and Qiongzhou.
At the same time, the She Yao people also migrated to western Fujian and northern Guangdong, becoming the main local ethnic group, and they and the Han people who later immigrated from the south of the Yangtze River, as well as the people of Guangfu in Guangdong, the two mixed settlements made the She Yao people a large number of sinicization, together with the formation of the Hakka people. Although the Hakka are quite numerous, they have a low status in the provinces of South China and are often ostracized by the local people.
The Hakka people have always been not in harmony with the local Han people, but Wang Yinglin knows that his ancestral home is Kaifeng, Henan, and later moved to Yin County, Qingyuan Prefecture, which is also Hakka. The Hakka people came to the south of Jiangnan from the north when they were about five dynasties and ten kingdoms, but here from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there are many families who migrated from the north, and they have already become local heroes, deep-rooted, and have a lot of land.
The Hakka people are also farmers, who need land and water to maintain their farming life, so after the Hakka people come, it is inevitable that they will have conflicts with the local Haoqiang on land and water sources.
Therefore, the Hakka people were forced to choose a mountainous area with barren land and remote location. Living in these mountainous areas, there are also Baiyue mountain people such as the She and Yao people who have been driven up the mountain. They had a lot of exchanges with these Baiyue people, and some of the Baiyue people accepted the Han culture of the Hakka people and were assimilated into a member of the Hakka people, and many Hakka people intermarried with the Baiyue people.
The intermarriage between the Hakka and the Baiyue people made the southern tribes think that they had "Nanban" blood, not a member of the Han people, and would inevitably suffer exclusion and discrimination. Being suppressed by mainstream forces will inevitably lead to revolts, frequent armed clashes with the locals, and even large-scale unrest. In addition, most of the Hakka people live in remote mountainous areas, where there are often poisonous snakes and beasts, and bandits and bandits are also often infested. In order to ensure the safety of the village, in addition to practicing martial arts, the Hakka people will also build a semi-military walled village, defending against mountain dangers, to defend against bandits and retain the advantage of fighting with the locals.
In this semi-military environment, both men and women need to learn to protect themselves, and in the constant 'fighting', the Hakka people have slowly developed a brave and martial atmosphere. Moreover, the Hakka people have been intermarrying with the Baiyue people in the mountains for a long time, and they naturally inherited the characteristics of the Baiyue mountain people. The She mountain people are known for their fierceness, so the martial spirit of the mountain people is no less than that of other ethnic minorities. As a group that has a deep relationship with the Baiyue people, the Hakka people are also deeply affected in their customs. In addition, they have been fighting with the locals for a long time and building fortifications in the mountains, so the Hakka people have accumulated a lot of practical combat experience, and with a little training, they are fierce soldiers in the army.
The frequent large-scale armed fighting of the Turks not only caused local unrest, but also threatened the political power. The Hakka people are regarded as an outlier, and they are naturally not only discriminated against by the mainstream forces, but also often suppressed by the imperial court, so it is also a headache for the imperial courts of previous dynasties. However, Wang Yinglin knew that after the little emperor seized power, he attached importance to the relationship with the She and Hakka people, and the contradictions between the two sides were alleviated, and he played a great role in the war to recover Jiangnan, and many people were rewarded and held important positions.
In this context, the heads of the She and Hakka families are willing to contribute to the imperial court in order to get rid of their low status, and the clansmen can also use this to change their fate. And the generous treatment in the army is also very tempting, so Hakka men have been recruited into the army to serve the country. In fact, Wang Yinglin also thinks that the current army is the most fair and just place, where there is no question of origin, clan conflicts, and no ethnic discrimination, as long as you have military merits, you will be rewarded.
In addition, Wang Yinglin thought that there were two main channels for the little emperor to select officers, one was military exploits; One is a student of martial arts, and he mainly uses it. Even the officers of the shadow supplement have to study in martial arts, and those who cannot complete their studies have no chance to enter the army. The promotion of basic officers is generally completed in the department, while the promotion of officers above the middle level is transferred from the department. In addition to the retirement and mixed system, the combat effectiveness is guaranteed to the greatest extent, and it is difficult to form sectarian forces in the army, so as to avoid the situation of military ministers abusing power and separating one side.
Therefore, after Wang Yinglin learned the details, the pressure suddenly decreased, and the troops in the newly formed brigade were under the strict constraints of military discipline, and there were officers to supervise them, and the Hakka people who were mixed into the brigade were contained, so it was not easy to make trouble. Coupled with generous treatment to appease and assimilate, even if someone wants to incite rebellion, they will be quickly exposed and suppressed, and they will not be able to set off a storm......
"Governor Wang is afraid that it will not be peaceful tonight, how about we go to patrol the camp together?" After dinner, news came back that Ni Liang led the army to lead a regiment of cavalry to suddenly kill and intercept the enemy behind the enemy. The enemy's front army had already crossed the river, and the Chinese army was halfway crossed, making it difficult to respond, and in the chaos, Ni Liang quickly evacuated safely after destroying his baggage. When Zhao Yu heard the sound of the drums, he got up and put on a big coat and said with a smile to Wang Yinglin, who was accompanying him.
"I am willing to go together!" Wang Yinglin also got up and saluted.
"Wang De, bring my fur coat and put it on Governor Wang, don't suffer the cold!" Zhao Yu took the armed belt handed over by Tan Fei and fastened it, stepped on the short gun, looked at Wang Yinglin's thin clothes, and instructed Wang Dedao.
"Thank you for your care, the minister is good!" Wang Yinglin didn't dare to wear it.
"The night is cold, and the night wind is cold, not warmer than in the tent." Zhao Yu took the fur Dayu brought by Wang De and put it on Wang Yinglin with his own hands.
"It's disrespectful to be so ministerial!" The emperor was like this, and Wang Yinglin was no longer polite, and bowed down to thank him again.
Tan Fei had already lit a team of guards to wait, and the two of them went out of the tent, and they immediately ordered the guards to light torches, taking one group as the lead and leading the way, while the others were scattered around the perimeter to guard, and he personally led a group of guards to guard closely, the formation seemed to be loose, but it formed a three-layer guard circle of far, middle and near, light and dark.
At this time, the camp has begun to take shape, the imperial tent is arranged in the middle, the tent of the guard camp is surrounded by sanitation, and the periphery is not erected fences, but surrounded by a car array. Thirty paces outside the chariot formation is the camp of the Guards, five battalions surround the central regiment, and the outside of the camp is isolated from the outside by fences and trenches, and watchtowers are built at the four corners, and fortifications and posts are built along the trenches, and lanterns are lit every ten paces to illuminate the inside and outside of the trenches, during which there are patrols along the roads to and fro.
If you look down from the sky during the day, the whole camp is like a blooming plum blossom, and the heart of the flower is the imperial tent, the stamen is the guard camp camp, and the petals are the camp of the guard regiment. Each department is camped in the capital unit, and the battalion is a unit, and there is a passage 20 steps wide between the departments, so that even if it is mobile, it has the effect of isolating and setting fire, so as to prevent fire and burn the company camp.
"Password!" Although there are nearly 3,000 soldiers stationed in the whole camp, it is quiet, the lights are out at night, and the officers and men who go out of the sentry must enter the tent to rest, and it is strictly forbidden to walk in the camp, and no fire is allowed in the tent to prevent fire, and only a lantern with a number written on it is hung high outside the tent at the head of each capital. The group walked not far away, and suddenly a person flashed out of the darkness and asked in a deep voice.
"Lin'an, return order!" The guard who was on guard in front of him replied immediately.
"Yangzhou!" After the sentry answered correctly, he put away his gun and saluted, "Your Majesty! ”
"Well, it's cold at night, so you should pay attention to keeping warm and don't get frostbitten on your hands and feet." Zhao Yu stepped forward and said after saluting.
"Your Majesty, it's okay!" The sentry replied.
"On duty at night, you must not only pay attention to enemy attacks, but also pay attention to fire prevention, and never doze off." Zhao Yu gave a few more words of advice before continuing to move forward.
"Your Majesty, no one in this camp knows you, why do you have to check it repeatedly?" Along the way, there are sentinels who have not gone through the sentry checks, and when they go out of the camp, they must not only answer the correct password, but also verify the waist card and leave the second card. Wang Yinglin is a civil servant, although he has entered the military camp, but he has no experience in patrolling the camp, and he feels that it is an incredible thing that the emperor will also be interrogated.
"Governor Wang doesn't know anything, the discipline in the army is strict, no matter who is during the curfew, everyone must be interrogated, once the password is wrong, the sentry can shoot, and kill, even if it is a mistake, it will not be punished!" Zhao Hao explained with a smile.
"Is that too harsh?" Wang Yinglin was very surprised when he heard this, if he was killed if he answered wrongly, wouldn't he have died unjustly.
"Not an exaggeration." Zhao Yu waved his hand and said, "Fighting is your life and death, in order to win, it is unscrupulous, if there is an enemy infiltrating the camp, not to mention assassinating the main general, even if you put a fire, it can cause chaos." If there is a confrontation between the enemy and our army, it is a matter of life and death, and the soldiers are extremely nervous, and any disturbance will cause a commotion, and once the bombing camp tramples on each other, without waiting for the enemy to attack, it is already self-defeating without a fight. Therefore, the implementation of military discipline must not be discounted in the slightest, otherwise it will be the way to self-destruction. ”
"In the past, I heard that His Majesty was extremely strict in governing the army, and he only used severe punishment to deter the army. When I saw it today, I realized that His Majesty was an example of bowing down, convincing the army and not being defeated in a hundred battles! Wang Yinglin listened to it and said with emotion......
