In April of the sixth year of Jingtai, outside the city of Jinan, the left camp of the Longxiang army.

At night, in a large tent in the camp, 200 soldiers drawn from various units of the Tiance Army gathered in one place, and were being taught by Deputy Chief Soldier Hu Dexing himself.

Professor Hu Dexing's "cultural class" has lasted for a month, and it is specially designed to explain to these selected soldiers.

And these soldiers were all directly ordered by Liu Juntao and selected according to the criteria set by Liu Juntao.

Valian, loyal, and absolutely obedient; Knowledgeable, courageous, responsible!

This is what the two hundred soldiers in the Great Tent have in common!

Among these soldiers, there are generals, sentry commanders, captains, and even most of the officers and men are army commanders and ordinary soldiers, and the selection is not based on official positions and military exploits.

That night, Hu Dexing did not tell the historical stories that made the soldiers enthusiastic, such as Huo Quai's illness and the wolf Juxu, Ban Dingyuan's lonely soldier in the Western Regions, etc., which made the soldiers enthusiastic, but talked about "why".

"Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and it is not possible for the Son of Man to kill. Therefore, the power of killing is also held in heaven. Throughout the ages, when the army goes out to fight, it is necessary to sacrifice to heaven first. And to condemn a person to death, it is also necessary to clarify the canonical punishment, which is to seek the permission of God, these ...... Is it all just a ritual? ”

Hu Dexing's sharp gaze swept over everyone, and the two hundred soldiers sitting there were all in deep thought.

"It's because it's a false ritual that you have to ask why!"

Hu Dexing said loudly: "There are two kinds of killing, war and law. This soldier has something to do with you and me......"

"Just because the killing is not in the hands of the people who are truly ordered by the heavens, there are so many sins in this world, and those Tartars, thieves, and criminals are such sins, and they are also the enemies that we and other Ming warriors want to eliminate!"

Hearing this, the two hundred soldiers in the big tent realized that they had been paid for the army, not only to get an errand to make a living, nor just to glorify their ancestors, but to eliminate their sins, and to a certain extent, they were doing the right thing for heaven!

"During this period of time, the drills of our Tiance Army have become more and more rigorous, you may not understand, why the general town and the generals train you like this, the answer is very simple......"

Speaking of this, Deputy General Soldier Hu Dexing did not continue, but stood up and respectfully bowed to the front.

"Because you ...... It is a warrior who follows me and practices our duties as warriors! ”

The clear voice sounded, and the two hundred soldiers in the big tent looked sideways, only to see the chief soldier Liu Juntao walking in with his head held high, and everyone got up and saluted with their fists.

"See the head town!"

"Wu Mourning Society! From today onwards, you will be a member of the Martial Mourning Society! ”

Wu Mourning Society is the result of Liu Juntao and Hu Dexing's joint condensation during this period of time.

Now in the Shandong town system, in addition to the hundreds of thousands of Tiance army, there are also reserves, that is, hundreds of thousands of young and strong people who are registered and regularly practiced, such a huge force, in addition to preferential treatment and tempering, Liu Juntao also needs to build a common spiritual bond among all the soldiers, so as to firmly grasp this huge army.

This consideration was brewing when Liu Juntao was preparing to build a military academy before, and then he also brought in Hu Dexing, the deputy chief soldier, and the two spent a full ten days in retreat and discussion, and finally built a martial arts mourning society.

The name "Wu Mourning Society" was conceived by Liu Juntao, and it is very straightforward, the soldiers who joined the Wu Mourning Society are to be like Ran Min, the king of Wu Mourning, and use any means to defend China.

Maintain it internally and bloody it externally!

After that, Liu Juntao issued an order to the head of the military department to select and verify the officers and men in the whole army according to his own standards, and gather them in the capital city of Jinan for intensive training.

At the same time, Liu Juntao and Hu Dexing also took advantage of this time to begin to discuss the constitution of the Wu Mourning Society.

The first part of the charter talks about the theoretical basis, which is the responsibility of the Ming warriors, specifically to defend China and defend the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming warriors should take this as the general program, and all actions must be based on this general program.

With this starting point as the core, the second part talks about specific ideas: for example, when the Mengyuan Dynasty was in the past, why the universe of China was reversed, the sun and the moon were lightless, people's hearts were like jackals, and sorrow and suffering.

Just because the warriors in the late Southern Song Dynasty had lost the ability to defend China and defend the country, they also forgot this core!

Nowadays, the warriors of the Ming Dynasty can only return to the world by guarding them hand in hand, and the soldiers who can do this are no longer ordinary people.

This leads to the third conclusion.

That is, there are countless soldiers who can enter the martial mourning society, but there is only one person who is the general officer, and that is Liu Juntao, the chief military officer of Shandong Town.

The above content was decided by Liu Juntao and Hu Dexing, and written by Lan Siqi, Minister of the Central Committee, with simple sentences, and words must be called sages, anyway, similar truths, the ancients have already said it thoroughly, and they can use it with their hands, and there is no separation from this era.

Then again, the constitution of the Wu Mourning Society integrates the ideological roots of Taoism and the style of action of the Mohists, and at the same time, in the second half of the charter, it reflects many characteristics of the modern military thought that Liu Juntao joined.

The second half of the constitution of the Wu Mourning Society is the specific requirements for the members of the society, as well as the style of life and work.

According to Liu Juntao's vision, all the soldiers who enter the Martial Mourning Society will turn themselves into a machine, and there will be a clear plan for what to do when and when they do.

And what we do, we must be rigorous and meticulous, keep improving, and never allow sloppiness and perfunctory, and light and dust. And in dealing with setbacks, suffering, and pain, we must remember that we are not ordinary people, suppress weakness, and remember our duty.

In short, the members who join the Martial Mourning Society, in addition to the identity of the Ming martial artists, will also have a common characteristic, that is, tenacity, silence, and arrogance, if you look for a group with a similar temperament to them in the world, then the ascetics may be more similar, but there are still differences. For example, the Wu Mourning Society does not interfere in the private affairs of its members, and even adheres to the ancient Chinese precepts, such as "there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great", of course, what kind of "parents are here, do not travel far" This kind of thing is removed.

Originally, Hu Dexing, the deputy chief soldier, still felt that he was still unsatisfied, because after all, the ideological foundation of the Wu Mourning Society was only based on the ancient Taoism and Mohist lineage, which made the truth in it seem a little ethereal, so he wanted to be fuller.

But Liu Juntao waved his hand, thinking that it was enough to only integrate the ideas of Taoism and Moism, and other doctrines such as Confucianism, Yin-Yang School, and Legalism should be forgotten, Liu Juntao didn't want to turn the martial mourning society he planned into a hodgepodge.

As long as there is a Taoist core and a Mohist style in the martial mourning society, it is enough.

As for the hierarchical division of personnel in the Wu Mourning Society, Liu Juntao also has his own set of arrangements.

Although Liu Juntao is the highest existence in the Martial Mourning Society, and any major matter in the Martial Mourning Society must be approved by Liu Juntao, he does not hold any position, but has the supreme right to dispose of it.

In the Wu Mourning Society, there are three levels: elder, mentor and disciple.

The Elders are the core members of the Mourning Society, a council of elders that is responsible for making decisions on recruiting new recruits, assigning mentors, and dealing with traitors.

The mentor is a full member of the Martial Mourning Society, and the disciple is a probationary, and one mentor leads several disciples, and when the mentor feels that the disciple is reliable enough, he will be promoted to a mentor by the Council of Elders.

Of course, these titles and ranks were all set by Liu Juntao according to the habits of later generations, which is somewhat playful.

After these were formulated, Hu Dexing and Lan Siqi were also a little worried, after all, there was a blatant association in the military town, and such a thing was very taboo in the DPRK and China.

Both Hu Dexing and Lan Siqi were worried that the imperial court would anger the military associations, believing that the Tiance Army and Shandong Town were suspected of forming a party for personal gain.

Liu Juntao didn't think so when he heard this, and said: "What's the taboo about this!" Since the civil officials of the court and the central government can form a literary society, then we martial artists can naturally also form a martial arts society! ”

Now that Liu Juntao has already filmed Pu, Hu Dexing and Lan Siqi have no opinions, and they all start to carry out specific operations.

Since that day, the two hundred soldiers in the big tent have become the first members of the Martial Mourning Society.

After the assessment and inspection of Liu Juntao and Hu Dexing, among the two hundred soldiers, about a dozen of them had excellent grades and were recognized as elders, and the remaining more than 180 people were all designated as mentors!

Although it seems that the number of people is large, it is still quite small compared to the hundreds of thousands of Tiance soldiers and hundreds of thousands of reserve soldiers.

Therefore, Liu Juntao's first instruction to everyone was to develop suitable martial arts mourning society disciples in the army.
