Chapter 39 The Story of the Three Brothers and the Mongol Soldiers

In Ganzhou in February, it was still quite cold, the sun could not resist the cold of the northwest wind, and the training ground did not begin to freeze until the morning until the hour, and in the afternoon at about the turn of the time and the time of Shen, the ground began to freeze.

In the afternoon, it was to study military regulations, and the "Military Law" of the Ming Dynasty was "Seventeen Forbidden Laws and Fifty-four Beheadings", and each small flag was studied separately, because Li Zicheng was literate, Chen Chuan did not arrange manpower, but let Li Zicheng personally take the soldiers to study.

It was too cold outside, Li Zicheng took the soldiers to study in the dormitory, each small flag only has a bedroom, the bedroom is not big, except for the bed, there is only a narrow aisle left, the small flag officer has a bed of his own, and the rest of the nine soldiers share a bunk.

Ten people crowded on the shop, and Li Zicheng recited "Seventeen Forbidden Laws and Fifty-four Chops":

One of them: the drum does not advance, the gold does not stop, the flag cannot be raised, and the flag is not subdued, which is called rebellion, and the offender is beheaded;

Second: the name should not be called, the time is not enough, the time is not violated, and the law of the division is changed, which is called a slow army, and the offender will be beheaded;

Third: Spreading the battle at night, neglecting and not reporting, even more planning and disobedience, and the voice is unclear, this is called slacking the army, and the offender will be beheaded;

Fourth: complaining more, angry with its main generals, not listening to constraints, and more difficult to control, this is called forming an army, and the offender is beheaded;

Fifth: laughing and laughing, flouting the forbidden covenant, rushing through the military gate, this is called a light army, and the offender will be beheaded;

Sixth: the bow and crossbow are absolutely stringed, the arrow has no feather clusters, the sword halberd is unfavorable, and the flag is disadvantaged, which is called bullying the army, and the offender is beheaded;

……

The fifteenth: to pretend to be sick and injured, to avoid the expedition, to pinch the death of fake injuries, so as to escape, this is called a fraudulent army, and the offender is beheaded;

Sixteenth: The master is in charge of money and food, and his relatives are private, so that the soldiers and soldiers have grudges, which is called a bad army, and the offender is beheaded;

Seventeenth: Watching the thief is not tried, the thief is unknown, he does not say anything, more is less, and less is more, this is called a misguided army, and the offender is beheaded.

The nine soldiers, except for Li Guo, who was literate and could still remember a little, the rest of the soldiers were staring at each other with big eyes, not knowing that in the clouds and fog, for them illiterate soldiers, this military regulation of less than 400 words was simply a book of heaven.

Li Zicheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, knowing that he couldn't be in a hurry, but the time for recruit training was only two months in total, and the time left for him was too little, Li Zicheng thought for a while and decided to teach one by one.

He wanted to tell the soldiers that military discipline is very simple, only two words: obedience, but the Shangguan has to examine the specific content, he is just a small flag officer, and he is not qualified to bring out special soldiers, and besides, he has never led soldiers except for a month of military training experience, and he does not know how to lead soldiers.

Li Zicheng grinned and said: "Brothers, I know that the content of military laws is too complicated, today we just need to remember the previous five laws," and then smiled, "Whoever learns these five military laws, even if he completes today's task, if he can't learn it, continue after dinner." ”

The soldiers were at a loss, apparently not knowing how much of the five military disciplines they needed to memorize.

"I know you're at a loss, you don't have to think about it, just follow me and learn," Li Zicheng let go of his voice, "One: Hearing the drum and not entering, the gold is not stopped, the flag cannot be raised, and the flag is not subdued, this is called a rebellion, and the offender is beheaded, who can understand the meaning of the middle?" He remembered the understanding and mnemonization method of later generations, if he understood the content of this sentence, it would be much easier to remember, and besides, learning military discipline is for future use, if he doesn't even understand the meaning of military law, what is the use of just reciting it?

"I know this," He Mi whispered, his eyes shining, his face flushed, and he looked a little shy.

"Okay, you talk about it," Li Zicheng patted He Xiaomi's head, "Don't be afraid, even if you say something wrong, it doesn't matter, and me!" ”

"Yes, my lord," He Mi sat up straight when he was encouraged, "that is, when you hear the sound of drums, you must rush forward, when you hear the sound of gongs, you must retreat, when you raise the flag, you must send troops, and when the flag falls, you must hide, otherwise you will be beheaded." ”

"Okay, Xiaomi said it very well, it was even more thorough than what the veteran said," Li Zicheng gave He Xiaomi a thumbs up, "This is the common sense that every soldier must know, just like running in the morning, the herald has obviously waved the flag, but everyone is still standing stupidly in place, really going to the battlefield, this is going to kill the head." ”

"Kill the head?" Liu Bai shrank his head in fright, and subconsciously touched his neck, "My lord, do you really want to kill your head if you violate military law?" ”

"Of course you want to kill your head!" Li Zicheng put the knife on his neck, exaggerated a posture of killing his head, and immediately frightened the soldiers of this matter, "Military law is ruthless, if you want to protect your head, you must know what must be done and what cannot be done, now follow me to read, one of them: Hearing the drum does not advance, the gold does not stop, the flag cannot be raised, and the flag is not subdued, this is called a rebellion, and the offender is beheaded." ”

The sound of reading suddenly came out of the shop, and it felt like entering the campus of the later generations, and the sound of reading gradually dissipated before the time for tea.

"What, it's all memorized?" Li Zicheng's gaze swept over the faces of the soldiers one by one, and when he saw that they were all holding their heads high, he knew that they were almost on their backs, "Now work in pairs and ask each other questions until both of them are proficient." ”

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then spontaneously looked for a partner to cooperate with, and asked each other questions.

When the voices in the dormitory stopped again, the soldiers' faces were full of smiles, "So military discipline is so easy to learn?" ”

Li Zicheng struck while the iron was hot, "Brothers, have you all learned this first military law?" ”

"Learned!" The soldiers replied in unison, and the voices of nine people, in the room, were extraordinary.

"Everyone is very good, as the saying goes, the hearts of the people are united, Mount Tai moves, as long as we help each other and concentrate, this military discipline is not difficult for us, look at everyone's momentum, we can call it a day early," Li Zicheng picked up the "Military Law", "Let's learn the second law, the second: the name should not be called, the time is not enough, the time is not violated, and the law of the teacher is changed, this is called the slow army, the offender is beheaded, who can understand these words?" ”

"I know the first two sentences, when it is said that when the roll call is called, the soldier must answer 'to', and he must not be late, as for the last two sentences......" Zhao Zisheng found that he had not understood it thoroughly.

Everyone laughed loudly, Zhao Zisheng was a little unconvinced, he put his mouth up, "You have the ability to talk about it!" ”

The rest of the soldiers were speechless for a long time, and after a long time, seeing that everyone was cold, Li Guo said: "My lord, my subordinates know something, 'not to meet the deadline', which means that the agreed time is exceeded, and 'changing the division law' refers to changing the military order without authorization. ”

"Okay, it seems that our small banner has talents, Zhao Zisheng and Li Guo, together they just explain this military law, this second law actually has four reasons to cut off the head, brothers can only avoid dying under their own knives by keeping it firmly in mind, now everyone follows me a few times......"

By the time it was time for dinner, the soldiers were almost familiar with the five military laws in front of them, only Liang Jinyue was still a little unfamiliar, Li Guo had the advantage because of his literacy, and he was the most proficient, followed by He Xiaomi.

Wu Xing glared at Liang Jinyue fiercely in front of Li Zicheng, and pointed at his nose again, "Just like you, you're going to drag our Xiaoqi back." ”

Liang Jinyue smiled awkwardly, eager to hide under the shop, for fear that Li Zicheng's eyes would find and see her.

Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a straight face: "Wu Xing, what you said is not right!" ”

Wu Xing was about to plead, but when he saw Li Zicheng's black face, he had to squeak and whine, "My lord, ......"

Li Zicheng had already gotten off the shop, and at this time he was holding his hands behind his back, "Wu Xing, our small flag is a neat one, ten fingers have long and short fingers, if someone has deficiencies in some aspects, everyone must help him, instead of ridiculing, can you guarantee that you are excellent in every aspect?" ”

"That's it," Wang Anping, who was in the same group as Liang Jinyue just now, was also unconvinced, "My lord, the villain is in the same group as Liang Jinyue, and the villain is willing to help him study for a period of time after dinner, and he will never let him drag our Xiaoqi back." ”

"Well," Li Zicheng's gaze turned to the soldiers, and they all consciously stopped the movements in their hands, "Some people are good at running, some people are good at climbing, and some people are good at martial arts, but in our Xiaoqi, everyone is brothers, if there is any difficulty, we must help each other, today is the first time, forget about this matter, and there will be something to ridicule brothers in the future, twenty rods." Say, his eyes still fell on Wu Xing's face.

Wu Xing was embarrassed, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, and only after a long time did he say to Li Zicheng: "My lord, I know that I am wrong, and the villain promises that there will be no more ridicule of his brother in the future." ”

"That's right," Li Zicheng patted Wu Xing's shoulder, "Since we are brothers, we must help each other, and in the future, if we encounter a strong enemy army, we will not be afraid, if one can't be defeated, we still have brothers!" ”

After dinner, Wang Anping accompanied Liang Jinyue to find a sheltered place to study military discipline, while Li Zicheng and the rest of the soldiers went to bed.

There were no lights and candles in the training camp, so he had to strip and go to bed as soon as it was dark, but Li Zicheng did not feel sleepy for a while, so he said to the soldiers: "Brothers, I will review the military discipline I learned in the afternoon, and if everyone still remembers, I will tell you a story." ”

"The story? Good. The soldiers replied in unison, in this era, there is basically no media and entertainment, the drum book is the highest pursuit of man, and the story belongs to the same kind as the drum book.

After everyone finished studying, Li Zicheng told a "story of three brothers and Mongolian soldiers." ”

The story takes place in Yansui Military Town, Shaanxi, on a sunny afternoon, three brothers of the same clan, with their respective mothers-in-law and children, flying kites in the field...... A Mongol soldier came out of nowhere, this Mongol soldier had lost his horse and scimitar, and just glared at the three brothers with blood-red eyes. ”

"At first, the three brothers stood side by side, protecting their mother-in-law and children behind them, and the Mongolian soldiers did not dare to act rashly, but the second of the three brothers had already weakened their legs after confronting each other for a cup of tea......

"For the Mongols, they are really scared, the third brother, seeing that the second brother has left, their power on their side began to weaken, not to say a word, it is also concocted in the same way, the eldest brother saw that the situation was not right, so he had to turn around and run ......away."
