Text Chapter 301 Don't clear yourself and defeat the hearts of the people 1
In this way, Huang Er, Hou Ying, Mu Chun and other big and rough generals complained a lot, and these men who were not afraid of going into battle to fight were extremely troubled by the complicated characters of the current world with similar strokes. No matter how much they held their luck and stared at each other, they still struggled to make progress under the repeated teachings of the lecturers.
Zhao Shi didn't understand what Yu Zhilong did at the beginning, but Yu Zhilong insisted again and again, Zhao Shi set an example, he must be familiar with a word every day, and he has accumulated over time, so far the number of words is no less than three or five hundred, and he can barely understand the documents and regulations.
Not only did the soldiers set up literacy classes, but Yu Zhilong also organized a female teacher in the women's camp and in the city, which were divided into preschool education and initial education. Hundreds of girls and girls of appropriate age, including female caregivers in the military, were recruited in batches to educate them. In addition to women's studies, embroidery, and textiles, there are also subjects such as history, calculation, and medical treatment. It's just that this professor specializing in women's studies is difficult to hire for a while, so Yu Zhilong specially instructed Tian Lie to ask for high salaries everywhere, and reluctantly hired six or seven old men with good reputation and talents. But there was still a shortage of manpower, and under the inducement of Zhilong, Tian Lie had to agree that his beloved daughter Tian Xin and niece Kong Yue, who were full of interest, also came to the female teacher as a lecturer.
After all, there is a difference between men and women, and there has been no establishment since the imperial dynasty for thousands of years, but the local gentry in Linqu were mostly swept away by Liu Zhengfeng and others, and many rich and powerful scholars suffered from several wars, and the rest were mostly lightweight; At this time, Yu Zhilong's reputation was unmatched for a while, and even the county Yin Xie Lin did not object to this. After Yu Zhilong issued a strong document to supervise the work, in less than half a month, a simple female teacher was prepared.
This news is definitely a big news in Linqu, and it has been hotly discussed in urban and rural areas for a long time. Yu Lan, Liu E and other sisters are all enrolled in school, and they are literate for at least half a day every day. Their lecturers are Tian Xin and Kong Yue, and the first acquaintance and acquaintance of these women began here.
When the news reached Yidu, Zhuo Sicheng and Ye Xian and others ridiculed one after another, even Jiang Bin, Yu Bo and others also felt that they were insulting to Sven, and they felt more and more that Jing'an Army was acting absurdly, did they still want to kill Si Chen? This is simply self-defeating!
Yu Zhilong's insistence on literacy and education in the early days made the Jing'an army really uncomfortable. But from the ground up, literacy is the basic skill. It was only in the later period that Yu Zhilong opened a government office, set up military academies, organized military exercises, and gradually formalized military education, that the officers and men of the three armed forces gradually understood his original intention.
At present, not only the generals are secretly complaining, but even many ordinary soldiers are complaining. Fortunately, the military in the Jing'an Army is not bad, the monthly roll call is real, and they can eat a full meal, and they are equipped with military uniforms, military boots, military blankets, etc., there are regular medical visits in the army, family members and family farming, etc., and the camp can even organize regular listening to stories and playing military dramas.
Military regulations of the Jing'an Army: All soldiers who cannot complete the daily literacy requirements will be punished without exception to clean the toilet bowl and tidy up the affairs of the barracks. or fully armed, for a long-distance run; Those who refused to change their ways were imprisoned in a small black room and "happy" to enjoy Wu Side's original experience.
As the head of the three armies, Yu Zhilong also took time to participate in reading and literacy, and his lecturer was personally supervised by Tian Lie. The good thing is that Zhilong has the foundation of later generations, and he can recognize many of these traditional ancient characters, but can write less. But his literacy progress was already fast in the eyes of those who did not know the truth, and rumors of miracles even began to circulate among the ignorant people of Linqu.
After being punished, the punished soldier must still make up all the failed homework. All generals and soldiers of the army are treated equally. Those who are no longer qualified shall be disqualified from the military and have all preferential treatment given to their military dependents with their household registration, and those who have been dismissed will leave the camp in disgrace. Yu Zhilong's policy of carrots and sticks has finally been successfully implemented in the military's literacy program, despite twists and turns.
Yu Zhilong's Jing'an army traveled all the way through mountains and rivers, and finally got out of the mountains and turned over the hills on this day. Through Lingyang, Longshan, Sanzhuang, to the boundary of Chen Tong.
The two tributaries of the Sanzhuang River and the Shentuan River converge here to form a large lake, and in summer, the surface of the lake is sparkling, and there are countless water birds inhabiting and foraging here. The fields by the lake are longitudinal and horizontal, and most of them are fertile fields.
Along this to the north, is Wulian County, to the east 100 miles is Rizhao, to the south hundreds of miles is Haizhou, belongs to Henan Jiangbei Xingzhongshu Province Huaidong Road Xuanwei Division.
At this point in the march, the people were tired and tired, so Yu Zhilong ordered the whole army to camp here and cook on a fire.
Due to the large number of new soldiers in each department, it is temporarily impossible to concentrate on weapons, queues, and formation drills, so along the way, Yu Zhilong deliberately arranged a neat march and explained the orders and military discipline. Fortunately, there were no major battles along the way, and the officers and soldiers of the Yuan Court who encountered them fled early, and the local township soldiers or rebels were afraid of the appearance of the Jing'an army, and most of them opened the door to ask for surrender, and donated food and money, just to ensure their own safety.
In the early stage of the Linqu war, Yidu also first dispatched the essence of the Yuan army of each county to gather to besiege Linqu, and now the strength of the Yuan army in each county has been greatly reduced, and the newly formed officers and troops lack training, and the strength is obviously weak.
Yu Zhilong considered the future peace of the place, and in order to stabilize the people's hearts, these leading local squires and wealthy households generally did not pursue their past evils, but put on a banquet, and talked with the local elders, squires, and wealthy households, talking about the corruption and crimes of the Mongolian court and the miserable life of the people in various places, and then turned to the purpose of the Jing'an army to establish the banner of righteousness and drive away the Tatars, promising that as long as these people's hearts returned to the Han family, drew a clear line with the Yuan court, and abided by the Jing'an army's measures such as reassuring the people, rejuvenating agriculture, nuclear fields, reducing interest rates, and abolishing slavery, the Jing'an army would never disturb the localities.
The first battle of Linqu shocked the north and south of Shandong, and these deeds have been spread to the coastal shore of Shandong. The local people, whether rich or poor, were dumbfounded by the results of the Jing'an Army, and the rumors about this flying general became more and more evil. Some people even painted a voice: This flying general is nine feet long, as strong as a mountain, with eyes like copper bells, bloody mouth and white teeth, and at least two Mongolian children can only enjoy themselves in the morning and evening. Whoever does not obey shall pay the army with all his heart and soul, and drink with all the sergeants.
Because of the horror of the rumors, the local people with families and jobs were afraid to avoid it, but unexpectedly, the Jing'an army quickly defeated Yishui and Juxian, repelled the officials and troops who came to help from Jining Road and Linyi, and suddenly came to the Rizhao realm like a gust of wind.
The locals thought that a catastrophe was coming, and they only hoped to donate their family assets and fortune to beg for their lives in front of General Fei. But the young offspring in front of everyone turned out to be the thief chief that everyone talked about-General Fei, and these people were shocked at first and almost turned into clay sculptures!
Not only that, this Fei general almost never acted aggressively, as long as he did not resist by force, the Jing'an army would not move except for a few local bullies and Mongolian domestic servants to suppress the rest. As for the local governors appointed by the Yuan court, most of them were naturally dismissed, and the township temporarily elected the elders to persuade the people to be kind and listen to the lawsuits.
During this period, the squires, prominent families, and large households from all over the country considered their own back roads, and many donated gold and silver to transport grain, rice, and silk.
These things, Yu Zhilong originally handed them over to Fang Xue and others for statistics and distribution, but now they are checked and distributed by Kong Ying and others, and he almost does not receive them at all. Even in Linqu City, Yu Zhilong did not build a wide courtyard of his house and raise slaves and maids. just lived alone in a suite in the backyard of the county government, and took in two maids, a few cooks, and a few rough servants specially selected by Xie Lin to wait.
Although Yu Zhilong couldn't help his subordinates to buy mansions and store slaves and maids, the life of the head was still so simple, and his subordinates naturally didn't dare to go too far. Zhao Shi also reminded these old companions many times that they should not act recklessly and be extravagant, and even privately reprimanded Huang Er for buying a few gorgeous vans and horses by himself, and showing off among his companions.
At the beginning, everyone only said that the Jing'an army was still in a difficult period, and Yu Zhilong had to be thrifty. But after the siege of Linqu was lifted and the situation was good, Yu Zhilong still had nothing to ask for, and some subordinates gradually had some ideas.
After Kong Ying and others followed the army, Yu Zhilong was trustworthy and naturally loyal to assist. He saw all the way that Yu Zhilong's daily life and seizure and distribution were so simple, and after thinking about it repeatedly, he finally invited Yu Zhilong to see Yu Zhilong privately at night after the army occupied the cities.
After Yu Zhilong's permission, Kong Ying entered the account, sat down, and said solemnly: "The general is clean, he doesn't like gold and silver women, and he has no desire to build a high-rise building. All the people are fortunate! The Jing'an Army can win the hearts of the people from all over the world, and sincerely belong to the Yuan Army. It's just that since ancient times, there are no fish when the water is clear, and there are no friends when people are clear. The general alone can be good at himself, and he can cultivate pure quality, but the thousands of generals in front of the army are not tired of having a family, and the hope of fame, even if they are peddlers and pawns, they also have the idea of thinking about making a living for themselves. The general treats himself so purely, with little wealth, how dare his subordinates have the idea of seeking wealth and enjoying themselves? In addition, there is a difference between dignity and humility in the world, if there are no horses, mink fur, gold mountains and silver seas, beautiful maids and beautiful concubines, how can they be majestic and magnificent? In the long run, there will inevitably be those who are greedy and resentful. My subordinates may hinder the general's great cause! ”
Kong Ying said clearly. Yu Zhilong can have no desires and no desires by himself, but your civil and military subordinates have families and businesses, or have fame and fortune, glorious ancestors, and the hearts of blessings and descendants. If the boss is widowed in food and clothing, does not pay money, does not use maidservants and craftsmen, how dare his subordinates enjoy themselves in peace?
Kong Ying is so chivalrous, Yu Zhilong had similar interests and was of the same age, so he dared to show it. He also knew that it was not easy to know about this matter with others, so he played it right in private.
Kong Ying has this thought, mainly because as a scholar, he has a lot of contacts with the official gentry, and he has a deeper feeling about the current social situation. Yu Zhilong came from the lowest peasant family in this life, and later joined Yu Hai with Zhao Shi and others, and is still single, so the idea of family and fame is much weaker.
Yu Zhilong couldn't help but be surprised, he has always paid attention to his own image, not greedy for comfort and pleasure, even after the original Linqu, Xie Lin specially sent the mansion, servants, maids, etc.
Feudal hierarchical society, there is a difference between the top and the bottom, and the dignity and inferiority are orderly. Those who are superior have more wealth and privileges, and it is precisely because of these differences that many people have the goal and motivation to climb up.
In all fairness, Yu Zhilong is not too much of a luxury-seeker. The material abundance of later generations and the great improvement of production capacity are that the ordinary well-off family in a city can enjoy far more food, clothing, housing and transportation than today's princes and nobles, of course, this refers to daily consumption and life. If you talk about the rare calligraphy, paintings, antiques, high-rise buildings, maids and maids and other riches in the house, it is natural that today's aristocratic giants are the best.
Yu Zhilong also has the heart of comfort and enjoyment, but he thinks that he can have this opportunity in this life, so he can only consider everyone to enjoy it after the foundation is stable. Since ancient times, it has been easy to keep the world, but it is difficult to defend the world. Therefore, he was extremely strict with himself and even his civil and military subordinates, not to embezzle, not to extort, and not to commit adultery. So far, the Jing'an Army has strict military discipline, and naturally it has won the hearts of the people and the soldiers to serve the dead.
It's just that after being reminded by Kong Ying, Yu Zhilong realized that he was a little wrong!
Leaders can not only share weal and bene, but also share prosperity and prosperity. This wealth not only refers to subordinates, but also includes those who are kings and superiors.
Now that the Jing'an Army has three counties, the situation has improved, and the subordinates have begun to have the idea of improving their salary, which is normal. Although it is not yet the time to covet comfort and enjoyment, this kind of emotion should still be guided and taken care of.
It is not necessarily a good thing to be too radical in thinking, to be too incorruptible and to promote people.
Yu Zhilong realized that in the past few months, he had dogmatized the experience of later generations. This society is still a thorough feudal model, land is precious, the king is defeated, the glory of the ancestors, the wife and the son, and the blessing of many sons are the current mainstream consciousness.
Think about Huang Er, Wu Side, Luo Cheng, Mu Chun and others bought houses and land everywhere after they had military salaries and bounties, and even bought cooks, handymen, and maids, although Yu Zhilong acquiesced, but these generals did not dare to take the initiative to be honest with Yu Zhilong.
