Cultivating the Jin Wu Army into the elite of our army in later generations, Cai still spent a lot of energy and time.

Let's not talk about military skills, just talk about the construction of spiritual civilization, which took Cai Ying a lot of energy and time.

For example, it took Cai still racking his brains and it took Cai still nearly four months to get the officers and men of the Jinwu Army to keep in mind the rules and regulations formulated by Cai still that were modeled after the norms of our army in later generations and combined with the actual situation of the contemporary era.

The soldiers were illiterate and had uneven memory, so Cai still had to teach them word by word, so that they all knew these rules and regulations and acted according to them.

Their quilts were all taught by Cai still himself, and when Cai was still teaching them, he would say: "Neat, square, octagonal on the side, flies fly up - split!" Mosquitoes fly up – slippery! ”

Cai still tries his best to integrate these rules and regulations into their training and life, and make these rules and regulations a part of their lives, after all, this is the most profound - this is the valuable experience that Cai still summed up after being an instructor for several years and leading several classes of recruits in the previous life.

Moreover, Cai still consciously cultivates them to always remember that they are a member of the Jinwujun collective, and every word and deed will affect the entire Jinwujun collective, and conversely, the members of the Jinwujun collective will also notice the behavior of others, which is conducive to cultivating the collective spirit of soldiers helping each other and supporting each other.

The quotation that Cai still often hangs on his lips is:

"Don't abandon, don't give up!"

"In the future, we will always stay together, and it is a test to stay together, anytime, anywhere, for a lifetime."

“……”

In addition, the punishment system formulated by Cai is rarely aimed at individuals, almost all of them are punished for making mistakes, and some punishments are even implicated in the capital, and the same is true for rewards.

Once, the people of Sandu and Sidu got into a fight over trivial matters, and in the end it even turned into a scuffle.

Although Cai still got the news at the first time, Cai still did not rush immediately, but waited until they finished fighting, and Cai still arrived.

What stunned everyone was that Cai still didn't ask who was right and who was wrong, and directly divided the soldiers of Sandu and Sidu into three parts - those who won, those who lost, and those who didn't.

If he wins, he will be punished for running 3,000 steps.

If he loses, he will be punished for running 5,000 steps.

If you don't do it, you can take 10,000 steps.

All three of them carried 10,000 steps on their heads (all three of them won), and all four of them carried 20,000 steps of weight on their heads (all four of them lost).

Cai still explained in public that fighting is a violation of military discipline, so those who participate in the fight must be punished, but the fight of a soldier must be won, and losing is a crime, so those who win run 3,000 steps, and those who lose run 5,000 steps.

At the same time, Cai still announced that anyone who fights with friendly forces will be confined, winning the confinement for one day, losing the confinement for two days, and seeing his comrades fighting without reaching out to help for three days.

The soldiers who didn't participate in the fight quit and asked Cai Ying: "We didn't fight, how can we be punished, and more than those who participated in the fight?" ”

Cai Ying's eyes immediately widened, and he scolded: "Seeing that your comrades-in-arms were beaten there, they didn't go up to help, you still have a reason!" ”

Since then, the soldiers of the Jinwu Army have kept in mind a lesson - to fight, you must win, and if you want to fight, you must fight together!

Slowly, this became a tradition of the Jinwu Army, which has been passed down from generation to generation.

This also leads to the fact that the soldiers of the Jinwu Army are a group of wolves, even if they put a sheep in it, they will eventually become fierce wolves, and they are vicious wolves with a strong sense of collectivity.

Dozens of battalions of forbidden troops are together, it is impossible not to have a little friction, this kind of thing happens from time to time, and all the commanders have a headache because of the weapon fight.

Only Cai still doesn't have this trouble.

This is not only because the military discipline of the Jinwu Army is good, but the soldiers of the Jinwu Army never take the initiative to cause trouble, but more importantly, in the first few days here, the other soldiers of the forbidden army who troubled the Jinwu soldiers were all overturned by the soldiers of the Jinwu Army.

Moreover, the soldiers of the other forbidden armies summed up an iron rule about the Jinwu army, that is, as long as there is a war with the soldiers of the Jinwu army, the soldiers of the Jinwu army will all rush up and fight desperately without hesitation, and then automatically advance and retreat in groups of three to fight with the soldiers of the other forbidden armies.

It is precisely because of this that the new army of the Jinwu Army and several other forbidden army powerhouses were selected into the forward army, and everyone acquiesced.

In the final analysis, the army is still a place of strength.

……

When it comes to the Songjiang Uprising, most people will think of the Shuibo Liangshan Uprising in the Ming Dynasty novel "Water Margin".

However, this is just a story and not a real story.

In fact, the reason why Song Jiang and his gang rebelled was because Zhao Ji's poverty and luxury were too big, Cai Jing and others in order to satisfy Zhao Ji's poverty and luxury and wanted to get power from Zhao Ji's hands, racked their brains and tried their best to help Zhao Ji get money, some of them put their ideas on the fish tax, they announced to the outside world: Liangshanluo (also known as Dayozawa, also known as Juyeze, Daze, Guangyeze, it is in the north of Juye County in the later generations) is taken into public ownership, and ordinary people are prohibited from fishing, lotus roots, fishing, fishing, Fishermen who made a living from lotus root harvesting had to pay taxes to the Northern Song court according to the number of boats, and the more boats, the heavier the tax, and violators were punished with heavy fines.

Song Jiang is a native of Yuncheng, Shandong, he has a bold personality and is helpful, "Water Margin" called him "timely rain", and he is not wrong, because of this, Song Jiang accepted many heroes in the rivers and lakes, and Ye is quite prestigious in the eyes of the local people.

It's just that this Song Jiang is not the loyal and filial Hei Saburo in "Water Margin", who is eager for the court to recruit peace, but a high-roller who is bent on opposing the Northern Song Dynasty and acting recklessly.

This is not to wrongfully accuse Song Jiang, in fact, after Song Jiang and his gang attacked the city and conquered the city, the Northern Song Dynasty court can also be said to be the emperor Zhao Ji had already accepted the proposal of Hou Meng of Bozhou to "pardon and surrender", and issued a decree to recruit peace, wanting to quell this peasant uprising.

However, Song Jiang didn't have the intention of being recruited at all, and continued to make a big fuss about attacking the city in his own way.

From this, it is not difficult to see what kind of person Song Jiang is.

Let's get back to that.

After the Northern Song Dynasty court promulgated a ban on fishing in Liangshanluo, the people complained.

Under the spread of people with hearts, the voice of "breaking the tube (Tong Guan) and splashing vegetables (Cai Jing) is a good world in the world" came out.

Song Jiang took this opportunity to ascend to the heights, and the fishermen who couldn't survive responded one after another.

Although Liangshanluo is not as described in the novel "Water Margin", it is 800 miles of water, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Liangshanluo is the confluence of ancient Jishui, and the Jishui River flows through here. The Jersey Thong Razor; The southwest Naji water connects to Heze; The northeast flows out of the water, and then the northeast economy flows south into the sea; The southeast out of the yellow water into the Heshui, through the Surabaya, into the Huai, into the sea. Because of the convenience of transportation, aquatic products are abundant, and it has been a place for the survival of the ancestors since ancient times, and it is also a place for soldiers to fight.

Moreover, Liangshanluo has always been the cradle of the rebel army.

Like the end of the Qin Dynasty, Liangshanluo was the base of the Peng Yue uprising against Qin.

Like the Five Dynasties period, the rest of the Yellow Nest was lurking in Liangshanluo and waiting.

Therefore, the people here in Liangshanluo have a tradition of rebellion.

At the beginning of the uprising, Song Jiang and his gang took advantage of the favorable terrain of Liangshanluo to defeat several officers and soldiers.

After becoming famous, Song Jiang began to directly recruit the rebels, and they grew rapidly like a snowball.

Soon, Song Jiang gathered thirty-five core personnel, plus himself, a total of thirty-six people.

The thirty-six are:

Hubaoyi Song Jiang;

Zhiduoxing Wu Xuexue;

Jade Qilin Lu Junyi;

Dadao Guan Sheng;

Living Yama Luo Ruan Xiaoqi;

shakuhachi-legged Liu Tang;

Small Whirlwind Chai Jin;

Shenxing Taibao Dai Zong;

Pioneer Suo Chao;

Standing Tai Sui Ruan Xiaowu;

Yang Zhi, a blue-faced beast;

Saiguan Suo Yang Xiong;

The two-headed snake Xie Zhen;

Bearded Gong Zhu Tong;

did not block Mu Heng;

Desperate Saburo Shixiu;

twin-tailed scorpion Jiebao;

Iron King Chao Gai;

Xu Ning of the Golden Gun Class;

Soaring Eagle Li Ying.

The core characters of Song Jiang's group, that is, the thirty-six people headed by Song Jiang, although they are not all heroes with strong martial arts, clever calculations, and unique skills like in the novel "Water Margin", but they all have their extraordinary, and even a few outstanding generals among them, such as Guan Sheng, in history, when the Jin soldiers invaded Jinan Mansion in the south, he accepted Zhao'an, and led the local officers and soldiers to fight bravely, and defeated the Jin army many times, if his top boss at that time was not Liu Yu, the first traitor in the Song and Song dynasties, Then he may also become a famous general who has resounded throughout the ages.

And among Song Jiang's gang, the most powerful person is undoubtedly Song Jiang.

Although Song Jiang is not a martial artist, he has a strong means of control and a very good view of the overall situation, to paraphrase Gong Kai, the author of "Song Jiang Thirty-six People Praise and Preface", his evaluation - "excellent knowledge, outstanding people", "the saint of thieves".

Under the leadership of Song Jiang, Song Jiang and his gang first gathered people to revolt in Liangshanluo, and then led the people to attack Heshuo (generally referring to the lower reaches of the Yellow River in later generations), Jingdong East Road (Zhiqingzhou, Yidu in Shandong Province in later generations), and then fought in Qing and Qi (later Jinan, Shandong).

They captured more than ten counties, punished corrupt officials, killed the rich and helped the poor, and their popularity became more and more popular.

Today, there are nearly 10,000 of them, and the momentum is so great that the Northern Song Dynasty court has to strengthen its encirclement and suppression of them.

Jingdong East Road has even laid a net, just waiting for Song Jiang and his gang to be arrested.

Song Jiang was cunning, and seeing that the situation was not good, he decisively led his men to withdraw to Liangshanluo from Yizhou (later Linyi, Shandong), where they had been fighting with the official army for nearly a year, and then advanced to the Jingbei Road, in an attempt to continue to grow here.

At this time, the rulers of the Northern Song Dynasty court were not all wine bags and rice bags.

As soon as Song Jiang and his gang entered the territory of Puzhou, the Xinyang Army and the Guangji Army, which had been preparing for a long time, cut off the back road of Song Jiang and his gang to return to Liangshanluo, forming a situation of closing the door and beating dogs.

On the other hand, the Northern Song Dynasty court ordered Zeng Xiaoyun, the governor of Puzhou, to lead a large army to fight thieves from west to east.

That's why Cai still led the Jinwu army to the expedition.

Now, Song Jiang and his gang are wandering around Linpu.

That area, located in Shandong, Henan Province junction, the north pillow Yellow River, east through the Liangshan Luo, the river vertical and horizontal, hilly undulating, extremely conducive to defense, here is also one of the ancient military important places, the famous battle of Jin Chu in history, known as the battle of Chengpu in history, is fought here.

There are two best lines to surround Linpu from Puzhou - one is to attack Linpu from west to east by detouring Nanhua, and the other is to attack Linpu from east to west by detouring through Lei Ze.

Zeng Xiaoyun, Liang Fangping, Fu Cha and others discussed and decided to fight on three fronts in the west and the Middle East - in fact, there were two fronts, and the central and western fronts went all the way, and they all went to South China first.

After discussion, Zeng Xiaoyun, Liang Fangping, Fu Cha and others decided that Zeng Xiaoyun would personally lead the West and Central Roads to South China to ensure that Song Jiang and his gang had no chance to flee westward, and the East Road was nominally led by Hou Meng, the governor of Bozhou, but in fact it was led by Liang Fangping - Hou Meng was too old to toss at all, so he could only be led by Liang Fangping, who was a "knowing soldier" and had participated in the Song and Xia Wars.

By the way, because the west and central roads are mainly defensive, the selected front army was arranged to the east route army.

Let's not talk about the two roads in the west and the middle for the time being, only talk about the east route army.

Although there were a lot of jokes along the way, the East Road army finally reached Razor and joined forces with the Guangji army stationed here.

Liang Fangping gathered all the generals together to discuss how to fight this battle?

discussed and discussed, and finally Liang Fangping's confidant Tian Shizhong put forward a credible strategic plan.

After the plan was set, Liang Fangping began to dispatch troops.

There is no doubt that the vanguard will take the lead.

Although he had reconciled with Cai, Liang Fangping still arranged for the new army Jinwu Army to be the vanguard of the Feng Army, that is, the vanguard of the whole army.

After speaking, Liang Fangping, in order to show that he was fair, also deliberately emphasized that the Jinwu Army was the first in the whole army, so he put the strongest army on the tip of the knife, hoping that the Jinwu Army would set an example for the whole army.

Although Liang Fangping's words are good, it is better to be able to speak than to listen.

How could Cai still not hear that Liang Fangping was like this, not only sending the most difficult task to the Jin Wu Army, but also killing the Jin Wu Army, and even being suspected of contributing to the isolation of the Jin Wu Army by other forbidden troops?

Although Cai was still not afraid of the task of being the vanguard of the whole army, and even looked forward to it, Cai still couldn't hold back and scolded secretly: "Dead eunuch, be careful!" ”
