Chapter 61: The Rabble
Guangcheng, Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen is inspecting the camp outside the city, he has led the troops from Shaoling south for a few days, and the tight strings in his heart have been loosened, in Guangcheng he does not need to think about dealing with hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, so the days suddenly become better.
Everything was fine except that there were no women, but the rare good mood became bad after he entered the camp.
The soldiers who did not stand in the camp, there were occasional traces of open defecation in the camp, Yuwen Wen frowned more and more when he looked at it, and then saw a soldier scratching the fleas on his body in the sun, and his face turned pale.
Seeing that the injustice was about to be deducted on the head, Tian Zhengyue, the other general on the side, hurriedly avenged his grievances: "King! The rectification only began yesterday..."
"Huh? Hmmm...."
Yuwen Wen just held back his anger in his stomach, he is a reasonable person, Tian Zhengyue is right, the rectification deadline has not yet arrived, there is no reason to be mad.
But the beating has to be beaten: "The widow reminds again, if the deadline is reached, the rectification is not enough, hum!" ”
"The king relaxes, and the last general will take his own life!"
Yuwen Wen just wanted to say more cruel words, but suddenly felt itchy on his body, he thought of those soldiers who caught fleas, and couldn't help but be shocked, but it was too ugly to escape from the battle, so he withdrew the words that had just come to his mouth, and continued to patrol the camp with his head bored.
The Hulin Army is the condensation of Yuwenwen's hard work, money and food, and it is a high standard and strict requirement at the beginning of the establishment of the army, and it is very particular about maintaining the hygiene of the camp, but in the 'ancient' military camp, most of the health conditions are not very good, and the Hulin Army is an outlier.
The poor sanitation of the barracks is the result of the outbreak of epidemics, such as "heavy rain for several days, six or seven out of ten soldiers in the battalion fall ill" and so on, in fact, because the soldiers do not pay attention to hygiene, resulting in the body in a state of 'sub-health', as long as the environment deteriorates slightly, it is easy to get sick.
It is not without an army that can not defecate in the open while camping, but it is still small in relation to the total number, and as for the problem of fleas on many soldiers, what is the problem?
When the Eastern Jin Dynasty minister Huan Wen entered the Guanzhong Northern Expedition, summoned the famous Wang Meng, Wang Meng talked with Huan Wen, and reached into his robe to catch lice.
So it's normal for a celebrity to have fleas on his body, but what about fleas on a soldier?
Not to mention that in the romance of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it seems to include fleas on the body, this kind of fashionable thing, Yuwenwen is so entangled that people feel a little nitpicky.
However, Yu Wenwen didn't care what others thought, he said that if he wanted to exterminate lice, then he must exterminate lice, and walked around the camp, carefully remembering a few deficiencies that should be 'rectified', although he felt that his body was getting more and more itchy, but he couldn't bear to keep silent and convened a meeting of 'relevant personnel'.
In this big battalion, there are different kinds of troops, or these people are not regular troops, but unformed 'security forces'.
When the book is used, I hate less, and the same is true for soldiers, who feel sorry for food and pay when they see soldiers doing nothing in the barracks on weekdays, and when a large-scale war breaks out, I feel why I didn't train more soldiers in the first place.
Yuwen's 'recovered' most of the Yuzhou Governor's Office, and it was necessary to divide troops to guard the important places, and the troops were a little nervous, Yuwenwen is now sitting south in Guangcheng, and the soldiers guarding the city are enough, but if the time is right to attack Huainan, the troops will be obviously insufficient.
Fortunately, Shannan Dao Daxingtai Shangshu Lingyu Wenming took precautions and recruited troops from all over Shannan to recruit troops from all over Shannan, and asked them to send some of their sons and subordinates to assist the officers and soldiers in combat, and in fact, they were mainly responsible for defending the city and transporting grain and grass.
And the military camp that Yu Wenwen inspected today, the people stationed in it are the children of the clans in various places, of course, considering the distance, those who came to Guangcheng are the children of the clans in the territory of the Huangzhou Governor's Mansion.
Yu Wenwen is the governor of Huangzhou, after years of operation, he has become the parent official of the people's hearts in the governor's mansion, and the clans in various places have been included in the community of interests he has carefully weaved, so Yu Wenwen still believes in the loyalty of these "temporary workers".
But if these temporary workers are allowed to fight a tough battle, it is to give away people's heads, so Yu Wenwen's original use of the clan's children and soldiers is to let them garrison cities and camps in various places, liberate the precious soldiers, and fight a decisive battle with the enemy army.
"You may think that since you are only responsible for guarding the city and guarding the wall, there is no need to be so particular, right?"
"People who think like this deserve to do nothing for the rest of their lives!"
"Now the imperial court is the time to employ people, and it is also a good time for you to make meritorious contributions, the opportunity is missed, how long will you wait for the next time? No one knows! ”
"Most of you are just a side branch of the clan, and you will hardly have a chance to get ahead in your life, if you just do it perfunctory this time, okay, it's like this for a lifetime! If you want to make a name for yourself with your life, then behave better! ”
"All those who perform well, their names will be known, and the widows will give these people the opportunity to perform further, and in the future, the Son of Heaven will inquire and order the widows to recommend talents, and the widows will not hesitate to recommend those who have performed extremely well in this war!"
The leaders of the clans and soldiers from all over the country who listened to the words of the King of Xiyang, some of them had calm faces from beginning to end, and more people's eyes began to brighten, the King of Xiyang was notoriously trustworthy, so the turning point in their lives had indeed arrived.
The vast majority of the children of the side branch of the big family, or the main branch, do not have the opportunity to inherit the family business, let alone enter the family with the help of family relations, and even the descendants of the lower ranks may not have the opportunity.
If you want to get ahead in these years, the most direct and effective way is to join the army, risk your life to fight on the battlefield, and exchange your life for military merit in exchange for a good future.
Joining the army, you can do it at any time, just like entering the temple to burn incense and make a wish, the key is to burn incense and make a wish to find the right Buddha statue, and for many people, Xiyang King is the most suitable Buddha statue to burn incense and make a wish.
The king of Xiyang is proficient in the way of goods breeding, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the Tao Zhu Gong of the world, Huangzhou is prosperous and develops rapidly, and the small industries of the clans in various places have also made a lot of money, and there are many opportunities to make money with the king of Xiyang.
The king of Xiyang will fight again, from the south bank of the Yangtze River to the south bank of the Yangtze River, and then turn around and kill back, and defeat the army of Wei Chi one after another, which is unstoppable, so follow the king of Xiyang to fight, and there are many opportunities for military merit.
Many people feel that with such a miraculous Buddha statue in front of them, they are reluctant to burn incense, kneel, kowtow, and make wishes, and they deserve to do nothing for a lifetime!
"When you left your hometown and came to Light City, you probably just wanted to deal with things, so everyone gathered in Light City, but they were just a rabble." Yuwen Wen saw that everyone's momentum was different, and his reprimands became more and more inflammatory.
"However, as long as you are attentive, as long as you are willing to obey the dispatch and arrangement of the officers and soldiers, you will definitely be able to go into battle to kill the enemy, and you can also win the battle!"
"Let the corpses of the enemy soldiers pave the way for your fame!"
