"Emperor Taizu Gao is reincarnated! Daming is invincible! ”
"Emperor Taizu Gao is reincarnated! Daming is invincible! ”
"Emperor Taizu Gao reincarnates......"
At lunchtime, the sound of cheers suddenly sounded in all parts of the temporary campus of the New Army! The officers of each battalion took the lead in shouting slogans, and the soldiers below shouted in unison.
In today's new army, this "Emperor Taizu Gao is reincarnated!" Daming is invincible! The slogan is shouted many times a day.
Every morning after getting up, the officers and men of each battalion have to shout three times in front of the newly issued statue of the prince of Fujun before they can wash up and eat breakfast. After breakfast, some of the troops under the Generalissimo's Mansion "told stories", telling the story of Emperor Taizu Gao and His Royal Highness Prince Fujun, and also preaching the story that Prince Fujun was possessed by Emperor Taizu Gao, and told it with nose and eyes. And the officers and soldiers who listened to the story inevitably shouted a few slogans to cooperate.
After listening to the story, it is a variety of exercises, and in the process of drilling, it is indispensable to shout slogans and listen to stories - the slogan is "Emperor Taizu Gao is reincarnated!" Daming is invincible! And "Emperor Taizu Gao is reincarnated-Wan Sheng!" "There are two kinds, and the story is an example of Dagukou killing the Tartars.
At the end of the morning drill, the big guys have to continue to shout slogans before lunch, and they can only eat after shouting. After eating, there will be people who join the army to teach everyone - talk about military discipline, tactics, and the future of following the prince...... After speaking, I have to shout slogans again!
In the afternoon, it is still training, and like the training in the morning, it is still the queue, formation, march, and tactics. During the training, it is indispensable to shout a bunch of slogans.
After training, it's time to shout slogans and have dinner!
If you encounter military salaries and rewards, you have to shout a few more times!
In short, after the arrival of the new army in Dengzhou, in addition to the increase in training and the stricter discipline, there was a god-making movement that promoted the cult of personality.
The initiator of this god-making movement is, of course, Zhu Cihong, the prince of the Ming Dynasty!
He played a god-making game before the Battle of Dagukou, and the effect seemed to be good, which greatly boosted morale. So after arriving in Dengzhou, he began to intensify his god-making!
For this reason, an organization called the Military Participation Department was also set up under the Generalissimo of the Fu Army, which included three or four hundred children of the noble families of the capital. are all young people on the periphery of the power circle of the Beijing Division, and they are indispensable to have the problem of having a good eye and a low love of bragging. And these people more or less know a little bit of Zhu Cihong's "miracles", and they saw that Prince Zhu beat the Tartars at the mouth of Dagu, so they all believed that he was really Zhu Yuanzhang's reincarnation.
It turned out that the imperial physician Zeng Shenxian who followed Zhu Cihong was now also sent to this military department as a part-time worker, and this imperial doctor is also a master who can brag. Speaking of the set of fairies and ghosts, but there is a clear eye, Zhu Cihong has seen the "rebirth" in person, and it is even more like the real thing. Therefore, Dr. Zeng is now a part-time storyteller, known as "Mr. Divine Doctor".
The work efficiency of this military division that specializes in "bragging" is really unexpectedly high! In just a few days, Zhu Cihong became the reincarnation of Zhu Yuanzhang and the god of overcoming difficulties!
Of course, Zhu Cihong's "god" is not completely blown out, although he is not the reincarnation of Zhu Yuanzhang, but he did change his soul, and he did do a little "miracle".
"This theory of reincarnation possession is still too mysterious......
In the Generalissimo's Mansion of the Fu Army, in a huge hall, Shi Dewei, who was sitting at a long table eating, shook his head again and again, questioning the miracle of Prince Zhu.
Although he was born in a martial arts, he also went to school seriously, and he also took the Xiucai exam, and later became Shi Kefa's adopted son, so he was naturally full of sage truths, how could he believe in the absurd theory of the reincarnation of Emperor Taizu Gao?
"How is it fantasy? This is true......" A new army in a red robe said in an unusually positive tone to Shi Dewei and Tang Yun, who had just entered Dengzhou City this morning, "I know this matter best, my cousin's maternal uncle is the guard of the East Palace, and when the grandfather went down to possess the prince on the night of March 13, he was guarding outside the Duanben Palace!" I heard Chitose Ye and Emperor Taizu Gao talking with my own ears!
And on the night of March 14, after Chitose Ye woke up, he immediately seemed to be a different person. What an honest child he was before, he was absolutely well-behaved, and he didn't do anything at all. But from the evening of March 14 to now, in less than three months, how many big things has Chitose Ye done? Even the Tartars have killed 3,000...... Is it possible that it is not possessed by Emperor Gao, the crown prince? ”
The name of this member of the New Army is Li Longrui, who is the hereditary commander of the Shangzhi Army, and when he was in Beijing, he was a small man, with his ears and eyes clear, and he could boast with one mouth, so he made up a "bragging about joining the army".
In addition to bragging, the generalissimo's office is also responsible for receiving informs. Therefore, after Steawell and Tang Yun arrived in Dengzhou, they were received by the people who joined the military department.
In fact, there is nothing to entertain, just to manage the food and accommodation. The meal was to partner with the New Army Infantry Association of the New Army of Overcoming Difficulties who were on duty to guard the Generalissimo's Mansion on duty - after arriving in Dengzhou, Zhu Cihong no longer set up a full-time guard association, but the various infantry associations under the New Army took turns to act as guards. Responsible for the security of the Generalissimo's palace and the Imperial Palace.
Of course, Zhu Cihong himself still kept an additional guard battalion to act as a personal guard.
In addition, it is worth mentioning the "partner" system practiced by the New Army. Since Zhu Cihongcao created a new army, he insisted on sharing a necessary meal with the soldiers every day. First, it is to inspect the food of the grassroots troops; The second is to win people's hearts.
This tradition has not only been maintained to the present day, but has also been expanded. At present, the "New Army Model" of the New Army stipulates the question of how officers and soldiers at all levels should eat and drink together.
Officers below the level of the Coordinator (including the Commander) must share breakfast and lunch meals with the soldiers unless there are special circumstances. Above the co-ordination, the daily lunch must be shared with the grassroots soldiers!
As for the food supply of the grass-roots troops, the association is an independent settlement unit, and a special cooking flag is set up, and the generalissimo's office, the command and envoy of the new army, and the commanders of each division do not set up separate associations, but work together in each association.
Therefore, the food of the various associations is very difficult, and there is basically no oil and water, and the food of the soldiers is also guaranteed, at least they can eat enough, and the meat can be seen every day.
Now having dinner with Stilwei, Gao Jie's confidant, Tang Yun and others, there are many grassroots officers and soldiers of the Right Division and Left Association of the New Army. Li Longrui and the officers and soldiers of the Right Division and the Left Association sitting around seemed to be quite familiar, and after bragging, he shouted at them: "Brothers, tell me, is our prince the reincarnation of Emperor Taizu Gao?" ”
"Yes, Chitose Ye is the reincarnation of Emperor Taizu Gao! Can't go wrong......"
"If the Chitose Lord is not the reincarnation of Emperor Taizu Gao, how can he be so powerful?"
"Yes, the Tartars are afraid of our prince!"
"With the crown prince here, we will be invincible for the new army!"
Well, they were all brainwashed, and when it came to the prince, they were all full of confidence, as if they were following the prince, that is, they were not afraid of heaven and earth.
Stilwell and Tang Yun looked at each other and felt incredible, but they didn't say anything inappropriate, so let's bury our heads in food.
Not to mention...... This new army is really good at eating!
At noon today, Stilwell and Tang Yun ate white rice, roasted tofu, steamed fish pieces, and fried gum vegetables. The tofu and gum cabbage are added with lard, and it tastes delicious. The fish is a sea fish, salted and very tasty. White rice is still filling!
This kind of food is left elsewhere, and it can only be eaten by the family! In the new army, it can be eaten by any ordinary soldier.
In addition to eating well, the military salary of the new army is also sufficient, and there is no arrears of salary, no deductions, and no discounts, which is also a treatment that can only be enjoyed by family members elsewhere.
In addition, every officer and soldier of the New Army who overcame difficulties had a "decree on granting land" in his pocket, and at least 50 acres of paddy fields were fulfilled when they arrived in Jiangnan......
With such treatment for the people below, this Prince Zhu is of course the reincarnation of Emperor Taizu Gao!
