The next day, before dawn, Deng Yulong was woken up by a knock on the door.

Xing'er's voice came: "General, it's four o'clock!" ”

It was six o'clock, and the day was not yet dawn, but at nine o'clock there was a meeting in the barracks, which was twenty miles south of Nanzheng, and it took more than half an hour to rush there on horseback.

Deng Yulong, who was on the bed, got up and opened the bedroom door.

Xing'er smiled slightly, came in and dressed him, and moved quickly.

Chunlan came in with hot water and toiletries.

After Deng Yulong rinsed his mouth first, Chunlan wiped his face with a hot towel.

Compared with the attendants, being served by a woman is not only much more thoughtful, but also feels different, if it is served by a man, Deng Yulong always feels weird.

After washing up, head to the dining room for breakfast.

Deng Yulong said while eating: "After I go out, it may take a few days to return home." ”

The two girls were slightly stunned, it is their duty to serve the general well, isn't it that the general dislikes them for not doing well?

Xing'er hurriedly said: "General, the house must be more comfortable than the barracks!" Besides, the barracks are not far from Nanzheng, and the fast horse will arrive in half an hour at most. ”

Chunlan said: "General, if the two of us don't do enough, you can just say it." ”

Looking at their anxious appearance, Deng Yulong explained: "You have done a good job, I just became a general, if you want to stay in the barracks more and share the hardships with the generals, how can you come back every night." ”

The two girls were slightly relieved, and they both felt that the general was kind and had no arrogance in front of his subordinates.

At seven o'clock, Deng Yulong came out of the mansion, his own soldiers had already brought his mount, he led seventy people out of the city to the barracks, and the remaining thirty people stayed to guard the mansion.

Just after eight o'clock, Deng Yulong arrived outside the gate of Dayingyuan.

A little observation of the surrounding situation, there is a large open space outside the gate, and there is a large open space outside the gate, which can be used for large-scale troops and can also be used as a training ground. In front of the large open space, there is a wooden point platform more than two meters high.

I entered the barracks, came to the tent, and saw Wang Dahu again.

"General, you're here! The prime minister asked me to come over yesterday, and I will be your attendant. ”

Deng Yulong nodded, and then observed the handsome tent.

On the left side of this tent is a bed, in the middle is a place to eat and receive guests, and on the right side there is a bookshelf desk where you can read and write.

There are two handsome tents, this one is used as the manager's living place, and there is also a handsome tent next to it, which is where the boss convenes a meeting of the generals.

The time has come, in front of the general's platform, dozens of generals and a large number of soldiers are standing in a neat line, and a considerable part of them are not very good and a little lifeless, because they are jealous and unconvinced of Deng Xing.

There is also a document next to the point, and the important things announced by the coach must be recorded on the spot when necessary.

The time is about to come, Deng Yulong is wearing the armor of the general, putting on the cloak that Liu Bang put on him yesterday, and walks out of the gate to the general's platform.

He looked around at the generals, his mental outlook was not very good, to build these people into elite soldiers, military discipline is the foundation of everything, an army without military regulations, soldiers are a group of stragglers.

He said loudly: "I, Deng Xing, was named a general by the King of Han in order to fight back to Guanzhong and defeat Xiang Yu. From today onwards, I have set the following military rules, and if there is any violation, he will be beheaded in public in accordance with military law. ”

Immediately, the clerk held the cloth in his hand, walked up to the point platform, and read aloud: "First: the drum does not enter, the gold does not retreat, the flag cannot be raised, and the flag is not pressed; This is called rebellion, and the offender will be beheaded. Second: the name should not be called, the point cannot be seen, and the violation will not be ......"

The clerk's bright voice reached everyone's ears, and the generals listened to these words, and some of them did not think so.

Of course, the Han army had military regulations before, but the military regulations announced by Deng Yulong were more comprehensive and strict than before.

Yin Gai, who was standing next to Zhou Bo, whispered to Zhou Bo: "Look at this halberd, he really thinks he is a general." ”

Although Deng Yulong couldn't hear what he said clearly, he had a look of sarcasm on his face, and he saw it in his eyes.

He immediately said heavily: "Prison Commander Yin Gai, what are you whispering? ”

Yin Gai replied: "General Qiyu, the last general has not said anything. There was not the slightest hint of respect for his boss in his expression.

Deng Yulong said: "Thinking that you are a first-time offender, this general will spare you once, and add one more on the basis of the military regulations: the commander speaks, and those who whisper in the army will not be pardoned." As mentioned above, the military discipline is published on the list, and all officers and men of the army must memorize it by heart. ”

Yin Gai still didn't think much of what he said.

Deng Yulong said again: "Starting tomorrow, every day at two o'clock, after tomorrow, the general will announce the drill and assessment outline of the generals, and officially start training." Today's task for the soldiers is to familiarize themselves with the military regulations, and if they are found to have memorized all the military regulations after five days, they will be punished with military sticks. ”

Among the assembled soldiers, Han Xin was impressively listed, and he agreed very much with Deng Yulong's actions today, if he came to be a general, he would first of all have to be strict with military discipline.

Among the many soldiers, Deng Yulong saw Han Xin's face, but he didn't plan to take the initiative to summon him, but waited for him to take the initiative to come to the door.

As long as Han Xin really defected to the Han army, Deng Yulong was sure that he would definitely come to ask for a meeting, which would be more conducive to controlling this talent in the future than taking the initiative to summon him.

Strict discipline and prohibition are only the most fundamental aspects of an army, but this is far from enough.

Immediately, he asked people to read out the promotion criteria for generals, which he had told Liu Bang a few days ago, and Liu Bang agreed, and now it is officially announced and implemented.

The document will read aloud the contents that have been written in advance, and the promotion criteria are very different from the original criteria of only military merit and military merit only when the enemy is killed, which can be said to be a great change and a major reform.

Before this period, only the Wei soldiers in the early Warring States period belonged to the conscription system, and the rest belonged to the conscription system, and the school-age personnel usually worked at home and farmed, and took a small part of the time each year to receive military training, and when there was a need for war, it was possible to be conscripted into the army.

The promotion criteria clearly stipulate that the time spent in the army is not counted when working in the family farm, such as annual military training, being conscripted into battle, being stationed in a certain place, etc., and the cumulative promotion is one level every 4 years.

As soon as the new policy was announced, everyone was refreshed, and most people welcomed it.

Especially those grassroots soldiers, even if they do not have meritorious service, they can have the opportunity to be promoted, they are grateful in their hearts, and their spirits are lifted, which is what Deng Yulong hopes to see.

For military generals, especially senior military generals, the world is far from peaceful, there are still many battles to be fought, and there are many opportunities to make military achievements, and they don't care about the way to be promoted by military age. A small number of highly talented generals are very appreciative of this, which can be described as an unprecedented move.

Originally, among Liu Bang's generals, if you want to say who has the strongest ability, it must be Cao Shen, originally he was the second prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty in history, and now, his original disbelief in Deng Yulong has greatly reduced.

After announcing the disbandment, Deng Yulong went back to Shuai.
