Chapter XVII: Determination of Military Regulations

At this moment, Yu Mingjun, who went out to inquire about the news, rode back, which shows that Yu Mingjun has figured out the situation here, otherwise he would not have come back according to Yu Mingjun's character.

Yu Mingjun got off the horse, then walked over quickly, nodded with a smile to the other generals who were also sitting on the ground, and then hugged his fist at Liu Xia and said: "General Qiqi, the last general has probably figured out the situation here, and he is worthy of his mission."

Liu Xia said: "Well, tell everyone about the details here, sit."

Yu Mingjun got Liu Xia's order, then sat cross-legged on the grass, and said to everyone: "The place where we are now is already the location of Yingchuanwei in Fengyang Mansion, and then to the west is the boundary of Kaifeng Mansion, to the north is Guide Mansion, and to the south is Luzhou Mansion."

"Fengyang Mansion? I have arrived at Fengyang Mansion and are about to enter Henan, by the way, this area should be under the control of the Qing army, what about the military power here" Liu Xia thought for a while and asked Yu Mingjun, and the others also listened sideways.

Liu Xia has already said just now that they are going to the Central Plains in the end, and this place is about to arrive, which means that the battle is about to begin, of course you have to listen carefully.

Yu Mingjun replied: "This place was originally a guard station, perennial war, there are not many people in this place, the main elite army of the Qing army is chasing Li Zicheng all the way at this time, all the way is the Duoduo army in Yangzhou, there are not many elite occupations in other places, mainly generals, and the combat effectiveness is not very good." The last general has the confidence to annihilate them all."

"The last general found out that there was a big family fifty miles away, surnamed Zhao, called Zhao Yan, and built a big castle called Zhaojiabao. He had three sons, the eldest was a lame, the second was blind, and the third was a playboy.

There were hundreds of domestic servants. They oppressed the people on weekdays, annexed thousands of acres of fertile land, did all kinds of evil, raped, and adulterous peasants' wives and daughters, they could only swallow their anger, and if they were not careful, they might be killed by them. After the Qing army came, they opened the castle again, entertained them with good wine and meat, and even pulled the wives and daughters of those tenant farmers who were a little bit of grace over, and accompanied the Tartars to drink wine and warm their beds. The next day, after the Qing army left, many wives and daughters of tenant farmers hanged themselves."

"Their rampant domineering is well-known in this area, killing people, lewdness, ** women are often things, if someone dares to find the door, it is definitely a random stick to kill, this Zhao Yan married his two daughters to a small leader of the Qing army that time, originally wanted to find a backer, but since that time the Qing army left, he did not come back, there was no contact. He heard that his two beautiful daughters were sacrificed to his boss by the little boss at a chance, and he was promoted because of this.

Within a few days, the boss lost interest in the pair of sisters, and rewarded his subordinates, and as a result, a pair of beautiful sisters were raped to death by dozens of big men. ”

"After Zhao Yan heard this, he didn't say anything, and he didn't even ask for his daughter's body back, you must know that the two women were thrown directly into the mass grave after they died, and the reason why they didn't come back was because he was worried that the Qing army would find trouble with him if they found out, and even said to the public that those two were not his daughters."

Liu Xia didn't grieve about what happened to the two sisters, there are many things that are even more miserable than them in such troubled times, troubled times! Xing, the people are bitter. Forget, the people suffer.

Bian Sai, who was behind Liu Xia, just bit her lip and didn't say anything, and even squeezed out tears, because she had experienced and seen more such tragic things, and she had long been accustomed to the laws of this troubled world.

Liu Xia glanced at all the soldiers, and then said: "Such wicked people should be eradicated, what are the people?" The people are our food and clothing parents, without these peasants, what do we eat? What to drink? However, these hard-working peasants not only did not get the respect they deserved, but were oppressed by people at all levels. Busy all year round, in the end, there is not enough food and clothing, and starvation abounds. However, those landlords and government offices continued to persecute and squeeze the peasants. ”

"Pass the order, in the future, we are not allowed to oppress the peasants in our ranks, otherwise we will be killed" Although Liu Xia was born in an official eunuch family in this life, it is impossible to understand the peasants, but in the 21st century, Liu Xia is a real peasant background, so he also has a lot of feelings for the peasants, and his understanding is also quite deep. What's more, if you want to hold a political power in a stable manner, you must first have a good relationship with the peasants.

"Yes, General" Although the generals didn't know what Liu Xia was thinking, most of them were from peasants, and many of them became soldiers because they couldn't survive, so they all agreed with Liu Xia's words.

Liu Xia continued: "We don't have much food now, we need to find some food, bully the people, and snatch away the only bite of food that the farmers have, absolutely not." Then we will eradicate the landlords and bureaucrats who oppress the peasants, this time our target is Zhao Yan, this thing that does all kinds of evil, is our goal next, is it clear? And Yu Mingjun, have you inquired about the situation in Zhaojiabao clearly? ”

Yu Mingjun hurriedly said: "General, the last general specially inquired clearly, there were a lot of armed forces in Zhaojiabao before, there were two hundred people, but since this place was ruled by the Qing army, the number of robbers here has decreased, so Zhao Yan reduced the armed forces in order to spend less money, and now there are still a hundred armed people left in Zhaojiabao, and because Zhaojiabao doesn't know about our appearance at all, so now they are defenseless at all, and the last general thinks, if we are surprised, we can easily enter Zhaojiabao."

As soon as Yu Mingjun finished speaking, Ma Peng began to shout, saying: "Fighting, what are you afraid of, I'll attack it directly."

Liu Xia glanced at everyone, and then said, "Let's talk about how to fight."

Liu Dazhuang said: "The last general thinks that we should wait until the night is dark, and then wait for their defense to be lax, send people to climb up to the top of the city, open the city gate, and finally go in."

After Liu Dazhuang finished speaking, Niu Chao also followed closely and said: "What are you doing when it gets dark, rush in directly, don't be afraid that you won't win."

Everyone directly ignored Niu Chao, this guy can be regarded as a fierce general, but he can only be a general, not a handsome.

Liu Xia glanced at Zhang Yuan, and then asked, "Zhang Yuan, what do you think, tell me about it."

Zhang Yuan immediately said: "The last general agreed with Da Zhuang's words, after all, we are now within the scope of the Qing army, if we can not be exposed, we will not be exposed, take advantage of the darkness of the night, let's go directly into the city, kill the landlord's family, empty the grain and grass, and leave directly, even if the government here gets the news, I don't know who did it."

Liu Xia nodded and said, "Okay, that's it, everyone will gather all the soldiers, and I want to talk about discipline."

Regarding the matter of discipline, Liu Xia had already thought about it, and when he was in Yangzhou City before, there was no need to talk about any discipline, but now that he is out of Yangzhou City, if he allows these soldiers to behave indiscriminately, then this army will be ironclad, and this discipline regulation has been brewing in Liu Xia's heart for a long time, basically referring to the three major disciplines of the Red Army, but with slight changes.

As Liu Xia's order was issued, those generals returned to their camps one after another, and then called all the soldiers over, more than 1,000 people, standing in a large square formation, and then standing neatly in front of Liu Xia.

Although it looks quite neat, but this tattered and tattered clothes of different colors are simply ruining the atmosphere, Liu Xia feels that if he finds a base, the first thing he will do is to quickly change his soldiers into new military uniforms.

The scene was very quiet, no one spoke, they all looked at Liu Xia with blank eyes, Liu Xia was synonymous with invincibility in their eyes, and the soldiers admired Liu Xia very much, so the eyes that looked at Liu Xia were eager eyes.

Liu Xia nodded with satisfaction at the mighty division in front of him, and then shouted, "Sit down."

"Brush"

All the soldiers and soldiers sat on the ground with their waists straight, only Liu Xia was standing, and there were those guards who were watching the horses not far away. Bian Sai was also sitting on the ground at this time, next to Liu Xia.

Liu Xia stood and said excitedly: "As the saying goes, there are no rules, there is no circle, and a division of a hundred battles must have an iron discipline. Next, General Ben will talk about our military regulations! ”

These people originally thought that Liu Xia wanted to say something, but it turned out to be military regulations, so they were a little disappointed. Every army has military regulations, and there are many military regulations in the Ming army, but there are not many people who implement them, so they are not optimistic about Liu Xia's military regulations.

These more than 1,000 people are all veterans of the past, although their combat effectiveness is very strong, but they also have a lot of problems, Liu Xia feels that he must tell them about military regulations, so that they can change those useless problems. Because what Liu Xia wants is not a group of hooligans and ruffians, but a division of tigers and wolves, a brave army.

Liu Xia continued: "Military law, first: all actions are subject to command. If you have an opinion, you can put it forward in advance, if you agree, but when it is implemented, delay the fighter, do not focus on the overall situation, and do not listen to the command, behead! ”

None of the soldiers said anything about this, every army is like this, and this day is normal for them.

"Second: Do not oppress the people. Once found, slash! We are officers and soldiers, not bandits, and we are not allowed to rob, rob, kill or oppress the people."

After listening to this article, the soldiers below all turned their heads and ears, in the troubled times, it is normal to kill the people, especially the army of the Ming Dynasty, often slaughtered villages, and carried out murder and meritorious work. But they didn't dare to object to the rules set by Liu Xia. So the chaos soon fell silent.

"Third: All seizures will be credited, and then distributed according to the size of the credit, and once the secret is discovered, it will be beheaded!"
