Volume 1 The Battle of Luchuan Chapter 83 From Mengyang to Jiangtou City (II)

Duo Zi'an took off the wax seal on the secret letter, took out the letter in the envelope, and just looked at it, he was shocked by what was written on it first.

He almost exclaimed, but reason still made him think of the other people around him, whether it was the guide or the other members of the Barbarian Temple Village who were still asleep, if because of his own negligence, let the information that should be kept confidential leaked, it would be a big sin.

As the secret army of the Secret Academy, the first training they received was these things related to secrecy, and now, Duo Zi'an's performance can also see that Jiang Yu's efforts are not in vain.

Duo Zi'an's hand holding the letter was almost trembling, he looked at the content on it, and confirmed it again and again in disbelief, it said, "Mengyangcheng has fallen, the defenders have suffered casualties of more than seven or eight out of ten, the remaining remnants of the army are retreating to Manggu Mountain, and the Luchuan army, totaling 40,000, has attacked in the direction of Jiangtou City, and quickly reported to Jingyuanbo, asking for reinforcements to rescue Mengyangcheng." ”

Seeing the drastic change in Duo Zi'an's face, Ah Yu was also a little uneasy, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he could only say: "If the matter is really urgent, please ask the secretary to leave as soon as possible." ”

Duo Zi'an nodded, checked the envelope again, and poured out a token from it, the front was a killing "soldier" word, the back was a "order" word, and a column of small characters was engraved next to it, writing the words "Ming Mengyang Garrison".

"This is, the token of the great general of Meng Yangcheng." When Duo Zi'an saw the token, he quickly understood in his heart. Under Jiang Yu's deliberate concealment, the various institutions of Mang Castle, including the newly recruited soldiers, did not know much about the system of the Ming Dynasty.

On the one hand, this was conducive to his management, dividing the power of Mang Castle from the upper Ming army; On the other hand, it is also to avoid trouble, after all, if these people have an in-depth understanding of the Ming Dynasty system, it will be difficult to accept Jiang Yu's almost deviant reform.

Therefore, except for the people transferred from Bai Qianfan, plus the dozens of Ming troops in the original Manggu Mountain defense line, the members of the various institutions in Manggu Fort did not know the various structures of the Ming Dynasty specifically.

However, although Duo Zi'an did not clear the system of the Ming Dynasty, he still knew that in Mengyang City, there was a great general who was responsible for the unified deployment of troops, and Mang Castle was just a line of defense under him.

Bai Qianfan originally asked Jiang Yugang to arrange for someone to find an officer who had a relationship with him, go to the joint first, and then go to find Jing Yuanbo.

But Jiang Yuyan didn't do this, but directly stole a few tokens from Bai Qianfan as a way to enter the camp. If he wants to get a chance to be promoted in the future, so as to master Meng Yang, Bai Qianfan, who is located on his head, must not be kept.

No matter what kind of impact this token will have on Bai Qianfan, Jiang Yugang is determined to attack Bai Qianfan. In the matter of the token, if the big camp investigates it at that time, Bai Qianfan will definitely be found, and Bai Qianfan will definitely know that Jiang Yu has done something in it.

It's just that at that time, even if Bai Qianfan knew that Jiang Yu was doing something in it, he couldn't move him.

Jiang Yugang has two ideas for dealing with Bai Qianfan: first, if Bai Qianfan fights for strength and performs well in the battle of Mengyangcheng, then he doesn't mind playing black hands in the battle; Second, if Bai Qianfan didn't show enough ability, then Jiang Yugang could find an excuse related to military discipline and command to control Bai Qianfan, and then send him into danger.

However, for Bai Qianfan's handling, it is not very important in the face of the battle in Mengyangcheng, Jiang Yu's current strength of the troops is no longer something that Bai Qianfan's hundreds of personal soldiers can resist, even if he adds the soldiers and horses of the three thousand households under his command, it may not be an opponent.

And now Bai Qianfan, who believes in Jiang Yugang too much, has made Jiang Yugang enter Mengyang City with the most elite soldiers, and he has not yet realized that he has become a fish on the chopping board.

·············

On the other hand, Duo Zi'an left without delay and immediately.

He had been here for a while, and he was familiar with several roads leading to the Barbarian Temple, and soon came across a guard post.

The Ming soldiers in the outpost regarded Duo Zi'an as an ordinary Luchuan citizen, after all, Duo Zi'an did not need to play this regardless of his clothing or appearance, and he himself was an authentic Luchuan person.

"Idle people, wait, leave quickly." When the soldier saw someone coming, he went from a drowsy state to a refreshed spirit, he first felt nervous because he saw someone coming, but then after seeing that it was just an ordinary Luchuan person, he lost interest and shouted impatiently.

He thought to himself that if another impatient brother came to stand guard, he might be able to cut down this unknown man with a knife. Doesn't this person know that the current Mansi Village is the camp of Lord Jingyuanbo, and the most elite 30,000 Chinese troops are stationed near here.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm a fellow of the Ming Army with you." Duo Zi'an performed a Ming army military salute, which was also specially trained by Jiang Yugang, after all, if all of them were new-style military salutes, it would become difficult to communicate with other Ming soldiers.

Ordinary troops may rarely use this kind of Ming military salute, but like Duo Zi'an, who has been stationed outside the Mang Castle, the secret army of the Secret Academy's Guard Hall is different, they can often encounter other Ming army troops, so the Ming army military salute is much more skilled than the rest of the Mang Castle.

When the soldier saw Duo Zi'an's skillful military salute, he asked a little suspiciously, "Who are you?" Why did a person come here and wear the clothes of the Luchuan people? ”

"I am a herald from Mengyang City, and I wear this to avoid encountering the troops of the Luchuan people on the road." Duozian explained with ease. It's not the first time he's seen other Ming troops, and he's already familiar with this set of words, as for the accent, his accent is Luchuan characteristics, yes, but in this battle, the Ming army came from various places from Nanjing to Yunnan, and the accent difference between different units in the Ming army was smaller than that between him and some Ming troops who were relatively close to each other in relative geographical distance.

After Duo Zi'an finished speaking, he directly took out Bai Qianfan's token, and usually he used it to prove his identity by taking some documents distributed by Jiang Yugang, which had seals from Bai Qianfan or a higher officer, which could be used to prove his identity.

Other armies do not often operate in a large area like the forces of Mangkas, and naturally they do not need a lot of things to prove and hide their identities.

The things that prove their identity are naturally these various tokens, documents and the seals on them, and the things that hide their identities are the traditional costumes of the Luchuan people, and Jiang Yugang arranged for these people to wear the traditional costumes of Luchuan when they are out of the house.

These soldiers who were originally from Luchuan, put on the traditional costumes of Luchuan, walked around Mengyang, and even beyond, looking like some ordinary Luchuan people, which made people unable to think that they were all serving a hundred households stationed on the defense line of the Ming army.

Something like Bai Qianfan's token is much easier to use than an ordinary document, after all, there are too many words on the document, and many soldiers can't recognize it, and it often takes a lot of effort to distinguish the content on some seals.

But the token is something exclusive to senior officers, and you can know the person behind it at a glance, and naturally you don't need extra words to communicate and confirm. At the same time, although there are words on the token, they are some of the simplest, or some of the most commonly mentioned words in war, even if these basically illiterate soldiers can quickly understand it.

As soon as the soldier saw that this person took out the token, he immediately changed his attitude, raised his spirit, and carefully looked at the token presented by Duo Zi'an: "Da Ming... Meng Yang··· Garrison··· Cause? ”

Duo Zi'an saw that this person didn't know as many words as himself, he couldn't help but feel a little disdainful, and gave birth to a sense of pride that belonged to Mang Castle, not like any place to treat people like them as people, in Mang Castle, they not only have better food and accommodation conditions than before, but also can read and learn knowledge, and the more words they know, the more rewards they can get, and even get official positions.

His position as secretary was obtained by his own efforts in literacy. After becoming a secretary, he not only has the right to arrange a few subordinates to do things, but also eats a higher level of food.

But Duo Zi'an did not limit his pursuit to higher official positions and more pleasures. Jiang Yugang often came to various institutions, held meetings with them, and explained many truths, among which an important concept mentioned by Jiang Yugang was a sense of responsibility and honor.

They met in Mang Castle to fight against the Luchuan army, it was an opportunity to harvest a new life, they organized together, farmed together, hunted together, read together, trained together, in order to defeat the Luchuan army, and then become the new master of Luchuan.

In this process, only people with a sufficient sense of responsibility and honor are worthy of becoming managers, responsible persons, and people trusted by everyone; And after becoming a manager and a person in charge, the first thing you can get is the satisfaction of your desire for power. Although in Mang Castle, the management organization is relatively complex, and there is a feeling that although the sparrow is small, there is a feeling that all kinds of organs are complete, but because of the detailed distribution of rights and responsibilities, each person in charge has real power and things to do, and there is no such thing as false duties and doing some errands.

As long as you become the person in charge, the manager, then you are in the position of the manager, and you can make various decisions to manage and schedule other members.

In addition to this, they can get tangible benefits, specifically food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, all kinds of substantial resources, depending on the department, the institution and the rank, but this is by no means a status of pleasure.

Because the managers in Mang Castle often have to be responsible for more things, and they are more tired than ordinary members, just like Duo Zi'an, they have to take on heavier tasks, and it is definitely not easy to live and enjoy. Because managers are responsible for a large number of affairs, they also have to face a large number of real-time assessments, and the feedback of the assessment results is directly related to the retention of their positions.

On the one hand, it provides greater mobility and gives more people opportunities; On the other hand, it also provides a higher level of participation and allows everyone to participate more fairly in the competition for management positions.

This kind of close management power, pressure bearing, and result feedback management system allows all those who hold management positions and are responsible for demanding themselves with a sense of responsibility and honor at all times.

First of all, power and feedback and the sense of honor is related, without enough sense of honor, you can not get happiness from power, and even can't do it, and the mechanism of feedback to eliminate the selection is a sense of honor to achieve a mechanism, only enough sense of honor can drive people to do better, and at the same time take the sense of honor as a selection condition, eliminate people who do not have enough sense of honor, and replace them with people with a strong belief in honor.
