The scout took orders and rode away.

After a while, the Taoyuan County Commander dressed in official uniforms and led a group of subordinate officials to meet him outside the city.

"The minister of Taoyuan County ordered Tianyu, led fifteen Taoyuan subordinate officials, knocked to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The Taoyuan County Commander knelt respectfully on the ground and bowed.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The rest of the subordinate officials also shouted.

Yang Mu nodded, and then looked at the Taoyuan County Order kneeling at the front, about forty years old, with a full beard, a chubby body, a round belly, and I don't know if it is family genetics or overnutrition, it looks like it is at least more than two hundred and fifty pounds, and wearing a mask can directly play Zhu Bajie.

"People from the Tian family? What is the relationship with Tian Rongchang? Yang Mu was a little surprised, Zuo Xiang Tian Rongchang had already been killed by him to make an example, and the Tian family actually had people in high positions in the local area.

Tian Yu was taken aback, and his voice trembled a little: "Your Majesty, the traitor Tian Rongchang is the brother of Weichen, but because of his treason, he has been dealt with by His Majesty's national law, and the family has removed him from the family tree, and his wife and children have all been reduced to slaves, so Weichen has nothing to do with the traitor now." ”

Yang Mu thought about it, the Tian family's approach is understandable, compared with the entire family, a person's life is indeed too small, and the family gate valve knows more about the truth of self-preservation.

If the Tian family doesn't know the current affairs, then he won't be polite today, how to say that the fat man is inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or heavier than other mountains...... I believe that Tianyu County Commander will definitely die a well-deserved death.

Since he decided not to pursue it further, he could only appease, so he said, "Hmm...... Yes, I already know about this matter, the Tian family is worthy of being the founding hero, and they are well aware of the righteousness, and they did it right this time. Do your county order, I won't think anything of you. ”

"Yes! Wechen will be loyal to his duties and share worries for His Majesty! Tian Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he straightened up, he even felt that his back was wet.

It is conceivable that if His Majesty had the slightest prejudice against his identity just now, or had the slightest dissatisfaction with his strategy of fighting bandits, ordering death would only be a matter of words.

Tian Yuhou was afraid, his words and deeds were more restrained, in fact, not only him, but also all the subordinate officials were terrified, this is the first time His Majesty has visited Taoyuan County, a little move may leave a good or bad impression, for them these local officials, it is a test, but also an opportunity.

Especially some officials surnamed Tian were trembling in their legs, and their psychological tolerance was a little worse than that they were already in a cold sweat, worried that Yang Mu would ask them.

Because of the family relationship, Tian Yu was specially promoted when he appointed them, and among the dozen or so officials in the entire official mansion and the imperial court, five were from the Tian family!

Originally, the situation of the magistrate taking care of the members of the family was very common, and even an unspoken rule, but after all, the situation is different now, since the fall of Tian Rongchang, the status of the Tian family in the officialdom has plummeted.

Fortunately, His Majesty did not pay too much attention to these subordinate officials, but only symbolically asked a few questions from the county magistrate and the county lieutenant, and asked them to step back and ask the woodcutter and the hunter who were kneeling behind him instead, to figure out some terrain and other things.

That night, Yang Mu ordered the whole army to set up camp in the open space outside the city and rest temporarily.

Wei Zhongquan was very puzzled by Yang Mu's decision, he had always marched and fought, and if the two armies faced each other on the battlefield, it would be fine, but they all arrived at the edge of the city and did not enter the city to station?

I really can't understand His Majesty's move.

In the same way, some of the other officers were also puzzled, but out of respect and blind trust in His Majesty, they did not complain at all, and organized their own non-commissioned officers, divided the camps into camps, and arranged for men to patrol the night.

In about half an hour, the temporary camp was set up, and looking down from the small hill next to it, there were hundreds of tents and torches flickering around it, like stars in the dark night sky.

Maybe it's because of today's military song, everyone is still immersed in a kind of excitement, after the camp tent is built, although there is no situation of singing loudly, but the sound of soft humming is also endless, seven or eight people do it together, you say a word and I say a word, discuss this crackdown on bandits.

I don't know if it's the excitement in the lyrics, or the ordinary people have been bullied by the bandits for a long time, everyone has a mentality of imminent revenge, threatening to kill all the bandits, and making a lot of meat jokes, such as rushing into the bandits' nest, to see if their wife is really as beautiful as rumored, whether the silver in the treasury is as much as rumored, and even many soldiers are imagining how much silver they can grab this time.

These words reached Yang Mu's ears, making him frown when he heard them.

A real king's army should be profitable and not harmful, so that the people can live richly, safely and with dignity, and not disturb the people should be put in the first place, as said in "Liutao": "Those who do not take from the people, those who take the people also; Those who do not take the country will also take the country; Those who do not take the world will also take the world. If you give to the people, you will have no worries about wealth. The people are like cattle and horses, and they eat them and love them. ”

History has proved that only an army with strict military discipline and loved by the people can be called the army of kings, and in a protracted war, there will be a steady stream of vital forces and back-up support, even if the people of the enemy country will welcome them and conquer all the battles.

Originally, the purpose of Yang Mu's order to station the whole army outside the city this time was to change the atmosphere of disturbing the people, and through such a small detail, to give a wave of big advertisements to the entire Cangguo army, but I didn't expect that no one in the whole army could understand his painstaking efforts, and only regarded it as an order to carry it out, and also discussed how to kill the bandits, how to harm other people's women, and how to rob other people's treasures.

Bandits are also people, so what is the difference between doing so and bandits?

Moreover, there is another important purpose of this crackdown on bandits, that is, to occupy strategic places through the bandit mountain range, and to take a shortcut to aid Shenguo, if the soldiers do this, it is tantamount to falling into the quagmire of suppressing bandits.

After all, the three caves of the cunning rabbit, the bandits occupy a favorable position, even if they are not capable of the enemy, they can completely escape into the deep mountains and old forests, if they have a monstrous enmity with the bandits because of discipline problems, at that time, I am afraid that half of the five thousand soldiers will be used to suppress the bandits that may appear at any time.

No way!

Such a ruffian style must be pinched out!

Of course, Yang Mu also knew that this kind of issue involving interests could not be carried out simply by giving orders, and after seeing the power of the military song, he had a flash of inspiration and an idea.

"Come on, come on, soldiers, such a beautiful day, I will teach you to sing a song again!" Yang Mu walked out of the handsome tent and shouted.

"Good!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Wow......"

The soldiers are excited, they haven't finished listening to this song, sing another one?

It's just wonderful!

Yang Mu searched the library in his mind, then opened a copy of "Revolutionary Golden Songs", and still gathered four hundred new soldiers and soldiers, and taught them sentence by sentence - three disciplines and eight attentions!

"As a soldier, we must keep in mind that there are three disciplines and eight points of attention! First, all actions should be commanded and synchronized in unison to achieve victory; second, I don't take a needle and thread from the people, and the people support and like me; Third, all seizures must be returned to the public, and efforts should be made to lighten the burden of the people! ”

"We must do the three major disciplines, and don't forget the eight points of attention! First, speak in a harmonious manner, respect the people, and don't play with pride; Second, the buying and selling price should be fair, and public buying and selling should not be overbearing; Third, if the borrower's things have been used, return them in person and do not lose them; Fourth, if the thing is damaged, the compensation will not be worse than half a cent; Fifth, it is forbidden to beat and scold people, and the style of banditry is resolutely overcome; Sixthly, he took care of the people's crops, and paid attention to them everywhere during the march and battle; Seventh, it is forbidden to molest women, and hooliganism must be eliminated; Eighth, it is forbidden to abuse the captives, not to beat and scold, not to search their pockets! ”

"Everyone must be conscious of abiding by discipline, supervise each other and do not violate it, the discipline of soldiers must be remembered, the people love the people everywhere, defend the country and move forward forever, and the people of the whole country support and welcome!"

A complete song of "Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention" was sung, and the 400 new sergeants and soldiers were stunned.

Obey orders in all actions, do not take a stitch from the people, return all seizures to the public, speak kindly, buy and sell fairly, repay what you borrow, pay compensation for what you damage, do not beat or curse people, do not damage crops, do not molest women, and do not abuse prisoners......

Isn't this the discipline taught in the military training manual during the training of the new army, originally everyone didn't pay much attention to this expedition, just thought that it would be the same as other soldiers, but I didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor would adapt it into a song and promote it in the whole army!

Military discipline can still be remembered like this?

Doesn't it mean that everyone can't get any oil and water from this time to crack down on bandits?
