Chapter 10 Iron must be hard

The fundamental purpose of Wang Kefan's establishment of this comrade soldiers' association was to establish a community organization within the Chu army under his direct control, strengthen his control over the troops, and firmly hold the gun in his own hands.

Many things need to be planned early to prevent problems before they happen.

Tan Xiao, Zhou Guodong and others listened very carefully, occasionally raised one or two questions, and after receiving the answers, they thought about it carefully.

The concept of the comrade soldiers' association is too advanced, and they can understand everything Wang Kefan says, but when they combine it, they can't grasp the key points, let alone understand the deep meaning...... However, they knew that Wang Kefan attached great importance to this comrade soldier, and directly announced the establishment without greeting, which was almost equivalent to giving a death order, and it must be done to the letter.

The generals of the Chu army are used to it...... Over the years, there have often been some unheard-of whimsical ideas in his own military gate, which seemed unbelievable and incomprehensible at the time, but they will prove his correctness afterwards, and the only difference is the length of time.

The Chu army has come to today's situation step by step, Wang Kefan has already established his prestige, no one will question his decision, and the generals of the Chu army will choose to obey the order even if they don't understand it for the time being.

Tan Xiao's attitude is particularly important, the Yuezhou battalion has recently had a lot of problems, military discipline and financial chaos are relatively chaotic, and the comrades of the soldiers will take the responsibility of "maintaining military discipline" and "supervising the money and grain economy," and they are just right to prescribe the right medicine. He even felt that the Comrade Soldier Association was tailor-made for the Yuezhou Battalion, precisely because he did not lead the troops well. Wang Kefan would be so painstaking.

"Yuntai, the battle of the Yuezhou battalion was not fought well, and so many things happened. It's all because I'm incompetent as a camp officer, so let's get rid of me and replace it with someone else. ”

"For whom? You said. Wang Kefan shook his head and said: "Our Chu army is just these people, a radish and a pit, you don't do it, who can replace you?" ”

"Gu Zongfu is good. He is a veteran of the nine-sided official army, and he has a set of leading troops to fight, and Wang Ding is in charge of the Ji'an battalion. It's okay to transfer Gu Zongfu away......"

Tan Xiao was just halfway through speaking, Wang Ding glared and shouted, "Who said it doesn't matter?" Tan Shuai, this is your fault, everyone knows how many catties and taels I have. The Ji'an camp is all supported by Lao Gu. You can't dig corners! ”

"Then you can't die without help! The Yuezhou battalion suffered 3,000 casualties this time, and it was 3,000 cuts in my heart, and I couldn't sleep all night in pain. Tan Xiao turned his face to Wang Kefan again, and said sincerely: "Yuntai, leading troops to fight is a delicate job, but I am a rough character, I am indeed incompetent, you transfer Gu Zongfu to the Yuezhou camp." I will act as his deputy and make sure that there will be no trouble. ”

"No, I can't. Gu Zongfu had other arrangements. ”

Wang Kefan refused very resolutely, leaving Tan Xiao, who still wanted to say something, and walked forward along the riverside, Zhou Guodong patted Tan Xiao's shoulder and followed with the generals.

Suddenly, along the river breeze, there was a sound of trumpets.

The old watch is coming to smash the tamper! Hey, yes

Push it down! Hey, yes

If you don't work hard, it's a king's eight! Hey, yes

it, guys! Hey, yes

On the wharf by the river, a group of young and strong men carry soil and stones, shouting trumpets to tamp the ground, and in the surrounding fields, you can still see criss-crossing trenches and earth barriers, but the hard-working farmers are already sowing early rice. The stretching white clouds, the clear blue sky, the verdant rice fields, the battlefield of the former Iron Horse Jingo, the traces of war are gradually fading, replaced by a vibrant, like the endless Ganjiang River, all the way to the north, to the north!

Wang Kefan raised his eyes and looked around, was speechless for a long time, and suddenly asked Tan Xiao: "Yisheng, what did we raise troops in Chongyang for?" ”

"At that time, I didn't think too much, seeing that the great rivers and mountains were about to be occupied by the Tartars, I had to raise troops to resist." Looking at the surrounding scenery and mentioning the pride of the year, Tan Xiao's mood was much better, and he said with a smile: "I was still in the Valley Academy at the time, I heard the greeting of Yuntai, and then left, and it has been like this until now." ”

"Yes, sometimes it's just a flash of thought that determines the path of a lifetime." Wang Kefan smiled and nodded, and said: "Mr. Tinglin has a good saying, the rise and fall of the country, the husband is not responsible, and the meat eater seeks it; The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband! The Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and wanted to occupy my Han family, which is a major event related to the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, and we can only stand up! Now that you have embarked on this path, there is no reason to turn back. ”

"The PTZ misunderstood, I'm not going back." Tan Xiao's face was heavy: "I can't afford the burden of the Yuezhou camp." ”

"The burden of the Yuezhou camp is already on your shoulders, and you have to bear it if you don't bear it, this is a responsibility that cannot be shirked. If this battle is not fought well, the punishment must be punished, but your camp officer is not exempt, and he has to continue to do it, and he is not allowed to make trouble. ”

Wang Kefan turned to the generals and said: "In the battle of Nanchang, the Chu army suffered a total of more than 5,000 casualties, but the Tartars fled back to Jiujiang, and this battle was indeed not fought. The problem of the Yuezhou battalion is more prominent, but other battalions also have similar problems, in the final analysis, the root is still with me, and I should be punished first! We are the Chu army, there is no need to engage in Cao Cao's hair cutting acting leader, if there is a mistake, it must be corrected, and don't fall twice in the same ditch, which is the most important thing, so I mention that the comrade soldier will first supervise me to prevent similar mistakes from happening again, as for the command mistakes of Tan Xiao and others, I will not be held accountable this time. ”

The generals expressed their approval, Wang Kefan changed his words, and said: "Mistakes in command will not be investigated, but violations of military discipline cannot be tolerated, how to deal with Tan Xiao, Dong Qiaoxuan and Tan Chang, there will be a result soon." After everyone goes back, they must carry out self-examination in the headquarters and strictly enforce military discipline ......"

The Yuezhou battalion is inseparable from Tan Xiao, so his battalion officer cannot be exempted, but he can be removed from other positions, Wang Kefan plans to demote him by one level, from the general soldier to the deputy general, as a punishment.

This matter still has to be communicated with Tan Xiao, and it is inconvenient to say it in front of the generals, so it will be handled vaguely for the time being.

"If you strike iron, you have to be hard! People, it's always not easy to attack yourself, but for the sake of Chu Jun's future, this self-examination must be real and have the courage to attack yourself. If anyone can't do it, I can send an inspection team to help him. Wang Kefan pointed around and said: "Our Chu army soldiers shed blood and sacrificed, and fought desperately with the Tartars, not for those officials in Guilin City, but to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, not to be slaves of the country, please keep it in mind!"
