Chapter 380: Military Discipline
Di Mali's unintentional words gave Yang Xiaoshan hope.
Trapped by the limitation of numbers, it was difficult for the Taiping army to develop and grow. The reality is that only by uniting other peoples can a new world be opened in Peru.
Peru is already independent, and the native-born whites will certainly not cooperate with themselves. The fighting power of the indigenous Indians is really muddy and can't support the wall, thinking that the 80,000 elite soldiers of the Inca Empire here were defeated by more than 100 Spanish soldiers, and the emperor Atahualpa was captured alive, which shows how poor their organization and discipline were.
But the Moors that Di Mali mentioned were different: they were Green Christians living in Spain's Ibilisi Peninsula. There has always been a religious fanaticism in Spain, and as conquered Green Christians, many of them have fled the country and emigrated to the Americas. They have a natural hostility to Catholics, a strong sense of resistance, and are objects to be united.
Yang Xiaoshan saw this and raised the willingness to unite the Moors against the Peruvian government army.
In the following days, Yang Xiaoshan inquired with Di Mari about the situation of the Moors, and actively prepared the team to set off for the Amazon.
Of course, the team drills every day, and Yang Xiaoshan didn't let go.
Hundreds of Taiping soldiers were divided into several groups and actively trained in an open field, some practicing archery, some practicing at least, some practicing single knives, and some practicing long spears. In the center of the open field, Feng Zicai shouted the password loudly, the soldiers listened to the password and acted, some of them were stupid and always couldn't do well, Feng Zicai also went up to correct the action one by one, and he didn't hesitate to praise him for doing well.
The scolded warrior felt ashamed, but there was no resentment in his heart, and he said that he would definitely do a good job. The hearts of the praised soldiers were even warmer, and their morale was even higher.
Yang Xiaoshan nodded again and again from the side, Feng Zicai is indeed a talent for military training, these recruits who were originally miners have been trained by him to look a little, and he has really dug up a treasure, the Taiping Army can merge the Huai Army brought by Bao Chao, which is a significant improvement in combat effectiveness.
But things don't always go so smoothly.
"King Dong, something happened, King Gu asks you to go back." A guard hurried to report.
Finally, the overall situation stabilized, Yang Xiaoshan was a little confused, what happened again?
When he arrived at Gu Wang Wu Ruxiao's side, Yang Xiaoshan learned that it was a small leader under Bao Chao, and when Gu Wang and Jose accepted the "settlement fee" as agreed, they secretly hid a cow's hind leg in the process of transportation on the way.
This scene was unfortunately discovered by Li Shixian, and he caught one on the spot.
Li Shixian is a master who does not tolerate sand in his eyes, and immediately tied up this little boss and handed it over to Gu Wang Wu Ruxiao to deal with.
Wu Ruxiao thought that he was a person close to Bao Chao, and was afraid that improper handling would cause internal disputes, so he asked Yang Xiaoshan to deal with it for the sake of prudence.
"You're Captain Zhang." Yang Xiaoshan looked at him well, and he was often in charge of guarding Bao Chao.
"Dongwang, you still know the little one. The little one's name is Zhang Dahu, and he was a pawn commander under the banner of Bao Junshuai, and the little one was blinded by lard for a while, and violated military regulations, and the villain died without complaint. Zhang Shuchang closed his eyes and choked up.
"King Gu, according to military regulations, what should he do like this?" Yang Xiaoshan turned his back and looked at Wu Ruxiao.
"King Dong, our Taiping Army has always severely punished private property, and he stole such a large piece of beef, which is enough to be executed, but now is the time to employ peopleγγγγγγ" Wu Ruxiao said with some hesitation.
"Invite Marshal Bao!" Yang Xiaoshan was a little irritable, and sat on the stool, this matter was a little tricky. In the past, he had a headache, and the combat effectiveness of a group of recruits under Wang Dabang was not strong, but fortunately, Feng Zicai was training for him, and the situation had improved.
But another stubborn disease, Bao Chao's military discipline is not strict, has not broken out, it used to be because of the fighting period, although Yang Xiaoshan vaguely understood, but he never took care of it. Now that the situation has improved, and there is a period of peace, the problem has flareed up.
The military discipline of the Hunan army was notoriously poor, and their military salaries were raised by Zeng Guofan through various channels. Due to the lack of a stable source of military salaries, the Hunan army was full and hungry, and in the end it was often solved by itself. As for whether it was robbery, stealing, or slaughtering the city, and other means, the officers above also turned a blind eye.
But the Taiping Army is different, the Taiping Army only robs the government, rich businessmen, and does not commit any crime against the poor, and plays the banner of "robbing the rich and helping the poor".
Yang Xiaoshan also reminded Bao Chao to pay attention to team discipline.
Bao Chaodu said that he would be strictly disciplined, but he also complained: "If the water is clear, there is no fish, and the brothers work hard to fight, if they are too careful, they are afraid that they will not be able to keep people, and they will not be able to muster up everyone's enthusiasm." The current team discipline is already a good baby compared to before. β
Yang Xiaoshan was thinking about it, and Bao Chao rushed over when he heard the news. As soon as he came in, he couldn't help but say, kicked Zhang Dahu down, and raised the whip in his hand to whip it violently.
"Damn, you kid hasn't eaten meat, and a cow's hind leg makes you can't help it? See if I don't smoke you to death! Bao Chao scolded while sobbing, and at the same time, Yu Guang also looked at Yang Xiaoshan's expression.
Yang Xiaoshan knew that Bao Chao was beating himself, but he didn't spare his hand, this whip was so bad that the skin was open, and the clothes on his upper body were torn.
"Okay, Marshal Bao, put the whip away, you can't lynch it on the spot." Yang Xiaoshan raised his hand to stop.
Bao Chao put away his whip and kicked Zhang Chang's ass again.
"If you don't fight, you can't remember it for a long time, and it's a shame to discredit our brother. King Dong, just slaughter it. Bao Chao knelt down on one leg and asked.
Yang Xiaoshan glanced at Bao Chao, this guy usually protects his calves the most, and the more he said this, he actually wanted to protect Zhang Zuchang in his heart.
But if you just spare it, what will other people think? What will these old brothers think in their hearts? Do you feel that you are too partial, you must know that Yang Xiuqing, the old king of the old east, has always been unforgiving when he encounters such a thing.
Bao Chao saw that Yang Xiaoshan didn't speak for a long time, and he was a little anxious, so he hurriedly said: "This matter is also to blame on the negligence of his subordinates, the Taiping military regulations are only explained to officers above the brigade commander, and let them learn to recite them repeatedly." The subordinates of other junior officers did not personally inspect it, and their subordinates were also at fault in this matter, and they asked the king of the east to punish them. β
"Marshal Bao is too modest, the Taiping military regulations were read to everyone on Sunday, and this responsibility is not yours." Yang Xiaoshan knew that Bao Chao wanted to protect Zhang by taking responsibility for himself.
"Subordinateγγγγγγγ What else does Bao Chao want to say.
"Okay, this matter is a first-time offense, and you have just joined the Taiping Army, so I can spare him a death. But the death penalty can be spared, and the living crime cannot be escaped, and he will be punished with a hundred military rods. After thinking about it, Yang Xiaoshan felt that it was better to give Zhang Shuchang a chance, after all, this stealing grain was not a traitor, and it was reasonable to say it.
"East King!" Although Bao Chao's expression was relieved, he knew that a hundred military sticks would be crippled if they didn't die, and he wanted to fight for Zhang.
"King Gu, you accompany me to the Chinese army, and Marshal Bao, you are responsible for enforcing military law." Yang Xiaoshan sighed and pulled Wu Ruxiao out of the barracks.
"Thank you, King Dong!" Only then did Bao Chao react that Dongwang had given himself face and let Zhang Dahu go. You must know who beats with a military stick, and if you beat someone to death, you will definitely die. If you pretend to lift it high and put it down gently, that is, you will suffer from a little skin and flesh, and you will not be able to get on your muscles and bones, and you can walk normally after a few days of rest.
