336 Because of the Golden Lotus

When the old man and the woman asked the officers and soldiers of the new ban to meet Zhou Bangyan, Wu Songzheng and Zhou Bangyan and other ordinary people were discussing their newly filled poem.

In this poem, the phrase "General Wu is here" is clearly mentioned, which is typical of praising Wu Song.

As a person who has traveled through the 21st century, Wu Song was used to hearing songs such as "Dongfang Hong, the Sun Rises" and "The First Army is Invincible" in his previous life, so he was not disgusted by Zhou Bangyan and others singing praises of himself in the lyrics, but felt that he was not wrong in his heart to recruit Zhou Bangyan and others: these people are sensible.

If Wu Song wants to build an iron army that can change history and save millions of people in the Great Song Dynasty in this era, he must establish his absolute authority in the army. Therefore, Zhou Bangyan and others wrote lyrics to praise him and let the officers and soldiers of the new forbidden army sing it, which was in line with Wu Song's wishes.

However, Wu Song is still dissatisfied.

He expressed his views on Zhou Bangyan, as well as Zhang Lei, He Zhu, Zhu Ben (biàn), Chen Youyi, Chao Yuanli, Fang Weishen, Li Chongyuan, Wang Zao and others present: "Our new forbidden army came out to suppress bandits, although it is the order of the emperor and the imperial court today, which is good. However, it's not entirely to repay the military. We are more to repay the people, so that the ordinary people of the Great Song Dynasty can live a stable and happy life, right? ”

Zhou Bangyan and the others could only nod yes. Wu Song said: "So, what is said in this poem, 'it is difficult to repay the kindness of the king', 'the holy lord is worry-free', etc., I can't say that you are wrong, but I always feel that it is not good enough." In my opinion, in the future, we still have to highlight our new forbidden army, not only the army formed by the emperor's order, but also an army with a heart for the people, an army belonging to the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and a soldier of the people, which can reflect the emperor's love for the people like a son, and secondly, it can narrow the distance between our new forbidden army and the people, so that the people can support our new forbidden army even more. What do you guys think? ”

Zhou Bangyan and the others were still groaning, thinking about Wu Song's intention in saying this, and Wen Huanzhang on the side already understood the meaning of Wu Song's words. Wu Song's distinction is clearly to dilute the color of the new forbidden army's foolish loyalty to the court and the emperor, and more importantly, to make the new forbidden army loyal to Wu Song and care for the people. So, he immediately chimed in: "Extreme! Extremely! Although I was stupid and didn't know how to fill in the words, I felt that General Wu was right. After all, the people are the foundation of the state, the people are precious, the monarch is light, and the community is secondary. The new forbidden army must first care for the people, which is consistent with the emperor's love for the people like a son! ”

Wu Song's original intention was to emulate the purpose of the modern people's army in later generations and build the new forbidden army into an army that truly loved the people and was not just loyal to Song Huizong. Wen Huanzhang's words can be said to be exactly what he wants.

At this time, He Zhu also nodded and said, "Staff Officer Wen is right, we should indeed be like this." In the future, when writing lyrics and composing music, we should not only say that we should be loyal to the emperor of the court, but also highlight the care for the people of the world. In this way, no matter where our new forbidden army goes, it can get the support and support of the people, so that it can be invincible! ”

Wu Song glanced at He Zhu meaningfully. With the remnants of his previous life, he knew that He Zhu in history had the ambition of defending the country on the border and establishing military merits to "Golden Seal Brocade Clothes Yao Lu Li" ("Zigui Xing") when he was a teenager, but because of the traitors of the Song Dynasty, he always sank into his subordinates and made no achievements, his ambition was difficult to pay, and he was full of worries about the fate of the country and the nation, so he finally resigned and returned to his hometown, full of disappointment in the Song Dynasty.

In other words, He Zhu is very smart, and he is not the kind of person who reads dead books and blindly is loyal to the emperor, but takes the fate of the country and the nation and the happiness of the people more seriously. Therefore, he was able to understand the words of Wu Song and Wen Huanzhang. Wu Song felt that this person could be reused more in the future.

It can be said that these literati recruited by Wu Song are all talented people who have read poetry and books, but among them, Zhou Bangyan, Chen Youyi and He Zhu are the most prominent. He Zhu is also very prestigious among them. Therefore, as soon as he said this, others immediately agreed. Zhou Bangyan finally nodded, saying that in the future, the lyrics and music, and even the entire propaganda of the new forbidden army, should be according to what Wu Song said, highlighting that the new forbidden army and Wu Song care for the people, not just be loyal to the imperial court.

This may seem like a trivial matter, but in fact it has a bearing on the future concept and direction of the development of the entire new forbidden army.

It is also because the new forbidden army at this time, the imperial court did not send the army to supervise the army according to the practice of the general army of the Great Song Dynasty. First, Song Huizong really wanted to innovate army management methods, and secondly, because Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Yu and others were playing games in the court, and there was no unity of opinion on who to send to serve as a supervisor in the new forbidden army. Therefore, the new forbidden army without a supervising army is more in charge of everything by Wu Song.

If the imperial court sent a supervising army, he would definitely not agree to this kind of supervising army concept and development direction, and would even report to the imperial court, saying that Wu Song had a disobedient heart.

Wu Song, Zhou Bangyan, He Zhu, Chen Youyi and others were discussing At this time, a soldier came to report that the old man and the masked woman wanted to visit Zhou Bangyan because they had listened to the song.

When Wu Song heard this, he couldn't help but guess in his heart, who would this old and young man, who claimed to be a singer and a Tokyo accent?

He carefully searched for the memories in the story of the Water Margin in his previous life that remained in his memory, and suddenly remembered someone, so he said to Zhou Bangyan: "Mr. Meicheng, since others are here, you should go and meet him." Let's see if the father and daughter who came are surnamed Bai, and the girl's name is Bai Xiuying. If so, let me see you too! ”

Zhou Bangyan said: "Bai Xiuying? Could it be that this is the general's old man? ”

Wu Song smiled: "The old people can't talk about it. I've just heard of her name, and I'm a little curious, and I just want to meet a real person! ”

Wu Song was indeed a little curious.

He remembered that in the Water Margin story in his previous life, the father and daughter who came to the Liangshan area from Tokyo and sang should be Bai Xiuying's father and daughter.

Bai Xiuying originally sang in Bianjing. Because it has an old relationship with the county order of Yuncheng County, Shandong, he came to Yuncheng from Bianjing to join the county order. Unexpectedly, when he was singing in Yuncheng, he encountered a winged tiger Lei Heng. Lei Heng forgot to bring money when he listened to the song, and had a verbal brawl with Bai Xiuying's father and daughter, the county order shackled Lei Heng, Lei Heng's mother came to visit, and insulted Bai Xiuying, and scolded Bai Xiuying, but Lei Heng was angry and hacked Bai Xiuying to death.

In other words, Bai Xiuying's story is very short in the Water Margin story, but she is also one of the beautiful and unfortunate women in the Water Margin.

Wu Song didn't quite believe what was said in the Water Margin story in his previous life, the process of Lei Heng killing Bai Xiuying. Therefore, since I have crossed over now and arrived here, I am indeed a little curious, I want to see if this Bai Xiuying is the kind of woman written in the book of her previous life.

Because of Pan Jinlian, he is now full of sympathy for the beautiful women with tragic endings written in the Water Margin story in his previous life. After all, Pan Jinlian is a typical example. In the story of the Water Margin in the previous life, she was written as a watery poplar flower and a vicious slut. But Wu Song, who crossed over, knew that Pan Jinlian was so beautiful, kind and pure, she was simply the cutest girl in this era.
