Chapter 90: Rearmament for War
Looking away from the row of round human heads hanging on the tree next to him, looking at the trembling appearance of the crowd standing in front of him, Cheng Yanjin said sternly, "You rabbit cubs can see clearly, this is the end of not following the rules!" From today on, keep in mind the rules formulated by Lao Tzu, if there is another violator, Lao Tzu will skin him alive! ”
After a pause, Cheng Yanjin continued, "Of course, Lao Tzu is not such an unreasonable person, the hard work of the brothers Lao Tzu knows, from today onwards, the brothers' salaries will all rise, and the lowest-level soldiers' monthly salaries are half a gold bar." Lao Tzu is a good talker, if Lao Tzu can't cash it out at the end of this month, you bury Lao Tzu alive! ”
Listening to Cheng Yanjin's words, the crowd in the audience was in an uproar, half a gold bar is enough for ordinary people's expenses for a year, the leader of this hero club is so bold, and some people who plan to desert because of what happened just now are also suddenly moved.
Although this Cheng Da master is a little stricter with everyone's requirements, it is not impossible to do it. As long as you follow those rules, you can get half a gold bar every month, where can you find such a good thing?
The rules set by Cheng Yanjin for these illiterate soldiers are very simple, and the most important one is to obey orders. When he said this, Cheng Yanjin was afraid that these rough people would not understand, so he gave them an analogy.
Cheng Yanjin said at the time: "This obedience to the order is to ask you to obey Lao Tzu's order unconditionally!" For example, even if there is a tiger's den in Longtan ahead, nine deaths and one life, when Lao Tzu gives the order to advance, you must not have the slightest hesitation and immediately attack forward.
And when Lao Tzu said to let you retreat, even if there is gold and silver jewelry in front of you, or even a beautiful woman who has stripped naked, you can't take a second look, you have to turn around and walk back immediately. This is obedience to orders.
This rule is very important, so you must follow it, and if anyone dares to disobey it, Lao Tzu will kill him immediately! Saying that, Cheng Biting Jin stared gloomily at the group of people below, and said sharply, "You must be clear, the most important thing in this world is people!" If you dare not obey Lao Tzu's orders, Lao Tzu will kill you all and then recruit other people! ”
After giving these soldiers those rules for a long time, Cheng Yanjin ordered them to stand in place and not make a sound, when he said that he would disband, and when the gang could move.
The reason why Cheng Yanjin did this was to find a few substitutes for the dead ghosts to deter these soldiers, let them know that they were not talking and playing, and at the same time let them deepen their understanding of their orders. The phrase "in troubled times, you should use heavy codes" has always been regarded as a good saying.
As expected, without a moment's effort, two or three people couldn't hold on and deserted. Cheng Biting Jin immediately made a decision and cut off the heads of these people. Then he continued to let the soldiers stand, waiting for his orders.
It wasn't until he killed more than a dozen people that Cheng Yanjin saw that the fire was almost over, so he went up to lecture, both soft and hard, promising benefits, and threatening and intimidating, so that these soldiers could see their own strength, and then they were ordered to disperse.
Early the next morning, watching those soldiers pointing at the dozen or so more people around him, Cheng Yanjin walked onto the high platform. Seeing him, the crowd below suddenly fell silent. Cheng Yanjin nodded with satisfaction, and said to the soldiers below, "I think you have all seen it, these new dozen heads are bastards who wanted to escape without permission last night!" ”
Speaking of this, Cheng Yanjin's voice became louder, "Lao Tzu told you yesterday that you must listen to Lao Tzu's words, but some people just don't listen!" Saying that, Cheng Biting Jin pointed to the extra dozen heads, "Lao Tzu told you clearly yesterday that once it gets dark, the whole cottage will be under martial law, and it is not allowed to enter and leave without permission, and once discovered, be beheaded immediately!" But these bastards just don't listen! Is what Lao Tzu says farting? ”
Turning his head and looking around, Cheng Yanjin continued, "Besides, if you don't want to follow Lao Tzu and want to leave, Lao Tzu is not allowed, as long as you come and talk to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will not only release you immediately, but also send you some entanglement to let you go home, but if you sneak away like these bastards, even if you run to the ends of the earth, Lao Tzu can't spare him!" ”
Looking at the quiet crowd below, Cheng Yanjin said loudly | Okay, now each of them will return to their respective teams and start training for Lao Tzu! If anyone dares to be lazy, Lao Tzu will strip him naked and whip him a few times, and he will never stop without blood! ”
Looking at the group of soldiers in the audience muttering in the queue, Cheng Yanjin Yun listened to the sky and the earth, and suddenly the voice below clearly came into his ears, "Alas, this is miserable!" I didn't expect the leader of this journey to be so cruel, he couldn't go, he didn't dare to slip away, how could this be good? ”
"Didn't Leader Cheng say that if you want to leave, just go and talk to his old man, and his old man will send some coils and release him immediately?"
"Idiot, when the time comes, Leader Cheng will send you some paper money to make entanglements, so that you can spend it on Huangquan Road, will you? Besides, looking at the rows of heads, do you dare to go to his old man's house to say goodbye? ”
"Why should I go? How about half a gold bar every month? If you leave, if you don't have gold bars, in this year of war and chaos, whether you can save your life is two words! ”
"Well, that's right, but also half a gold bar? In a year, that's a whole six gold bars! When the time comes, building a house and marrying a daughter-in-law is not a matter of words. Although Leader Cheng is more strict with everyone, it is not unbearable, and it is much better than those bastards in the government, so stay here! Anyway, don't you have to eat everywhere you go? ”
Retracted his eyes and ears, Cheng Yanjin walked off the high platform with satisfaction. A few days ago, he asked the people from Suzaku Hall to find his cousin Qin Qiong and asked him to find a few veterans in the army for himself, preferably those who lack arms and legs and are dissatisfied with the current court. Although his cousin is more loyal and patriotic, he is not such a foolish and loyal person, so he sent someone to Cheng Yanjin within a few days.
After receiving this batch of people, Cheng Biting Jin was like a treasure, and hurriedly offered it as an ancestor. Several of his leaders are a little puzzled, these people are either old and toothless, or they are missing arms and legs, what does the leader want these old guys to do who should have been buried in the soil a long time ago? Still so good to them?
Just when these leaders looked at the old guys sitting on the top and lowered their heads to discuss, Cheng Yanjin walked in. After greeting the old men first, Cheng Yanjin walked to the front. Turning to look at the hundred or so people below, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed on his face.
In addition to the leaders of the four major trilogies, the rest of the people below are all selected from more than 10,000 people who can read and write. More than 13,000 people only picked out about 100 people, and the ratio of 1:15 made Cheng Yanjin a little embarrassed.
The reason why these people were selected was because Cheng Yanjin found after analyzing the previous cases of the defeat of the rebel army that although the rebel army had formed an army, the fighting consciousness and level were still in that extremely primitive clan society.
They never had any formations or formations when fighting, let alone tactics and strategies. When attacking the enemy, the rebels will only swarm and slash at the enemy, and if they can't kill the enemy, they will be hacked to death by the enemy.
Cheng Yanjin invited these veterans to educate them and change their concepts, not to rush up and fight as soon as they saw the enemy, but to think about how to arrange and adjust the army and what position to put in under what circumstances, so as to take care of each other and cooperate in an orderly manner. How to hide your army from the enemy in order to let the enemy fall into your own ambush.
How to use suspicious tactics to lure the enemy to disperse his forces, so that the enemy's originally powerful forces become weak, and how to gather the largest forces into battle, and kill the enemy who has become weak.
How to find the opponent's weakness when attacking, concentrate forces to attack, and defeat the opponent in one fell swoop; When defending, how to dig trenches, lay traps, and set up obstacles, so that the enemy has no way to attack.
In large-scale battles, how to reasonably arrange and effectively allocate various types of troops, such as soldiers, pikemen, archers, swords, axes, and shield bearers, etc., these practical military theories are summed up by those veterans in the experience of the ancients and their own personal experience.
These elites specially selected by Cheng Yanjin heard one by one, 'It turns out that the war was fought like this', their horizons suddenly broadened, and they threw themselves on the five bodies that these old people worshipped. No matter what these veterans say, they keep it firmly in their hearts.
When these veterans finished speaking, these people gathered together to discuss their experiences, exchange corroborations with each other, and fill in the gaps. Seeing them so enthusiastic, Cheng Yanjin was extremely relieved, his hard work was not in vain, as long as these guys learned the one and a half moves of the veterans, they would not suffer losses on the battlefield in the future.
Since going to the top of the Maha Peak of Changbai Mountain, Cheng Yanjin has closed the door of the cottage, no matter where the heroes and heroes want to visit, they are all gone. Except for sending people out to buy wine and vegetables every once in a while, there are no people from this Heroes Club staying outside at other times, let alone recruiting troops and expanding their power. After a long time, the people on Changbai Mountain seem to have forgotten that there is such a strange force as a neighbor.
And without anyone noticing, the power of the Heroes Club is quietly undergoing huge changes. Although the number of people is still only more than 10,000, the combat strength of these 10,000 or so people is now comparable to that of a 100,000-strong army. And the leaders of all levels of squad leaders and the like have also received some basic training. Not to mention the main leaders of the tetralogy, in fact, what they lack now is to prove their strength by a real battle.
Standing on the high platform, looking at the incomparably strong soldiers below, Cheng bit his golden eyebrows and smiled. Just when those leaders were learning military skills, he ordered the martial arts masters of the original Salt Gang to become masters, and recruited a large number of apprentices to teach the "Rolling Stone Heart Method" that could cultivate internal strength.
For those young people who have enough understanding and can cultivate their internal strength, Cheng Yanjin did not hesitate to pay attention to the wealth in his hands, and gave a large amount of rewards, so that these people ate the ** day and night penance. And those who have not set foot in martial arts, Cheng Yanjin arranged for some foreign masters to teach them to practice fist and foot kung fu to strengthen their physique.
Now seeing the results, Cheng Yanjin's heart suddenly blossomed, his own soldiers are now strong and strong, not to mention the domineering uncle army of Liu, it is the elite Yulin army of the imperial court, and he dares to fight.
