Chapter 6: Fame and prestige

Including Wang Keyuan, all the generals looked at each other and were silent for a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 The class law in the info army, each rank and each level, is very strict, how many soldiers can be brought by a military rank, all have regulations, and the number of soldiers and horses they bring at this moment undoubtedly exceeds the number of their respective military ranks.

Ning Jiang shook his fan and said: "My lord, the great enemy is current, and at this time, I am afraid that the people will be unstable, these generals, the performance on the battlefield these days, the soldiers are also obvious to all, and the soldiers we have now are also not soldiers from one state, but from the northern states, and they are occupied by barbarians." If the brave generals who everyone trusts are removed, I am afraid that people will not be convinced. ā€

A person behind Ju Zhirong sneered: "This is a bad word, the army can't do it, it's a big disaster, if the court doesn't obey the law, everyone does their own thing, how can they fight?" ā€

The person who spoke was called Guo Renqing, that is, the young general who recognized Chun Jianli just now. This time, he and the Jiang Chenggui beside him led a thousand dragon and tiger forbidden troops, and came with Ju Zhirong to receive the generals here. The Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army, which has always been stationed in the capital in the past, is considered to be the elite of the elite, the soldiers in the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army, each of them is well-born, well-trained, and equipped with more equipment than the local garrisons, and the generals in the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army are all children of the family, and anyone who stands up will have a much higher military rank than Wang Keyuan and others who are standing here at this moment.

Regarding the achievements of Quarry Gorge yesterday, Ju Zhirong and others had heard before they came here, although this was the only victory in the past month or so, but in their opinion, the biggest possibility was not how good the soldiers here were, but more likely, the brute soldiers who originally entered Xingyang Prefecture were foreign powerhouses and middle cadres.

And now, after seeing the scatteredness of the soldiers in the army, and the list of these low-ranking generals, they are even more convinced of this.

Even these people were able to inflict heavy losses on the enemy, and it seems that those brutes were actually not very good.

If the division of powers is redivided according to the class law in the army, then Guo Renqing, Jiang Chenggui and other generals in the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army will undoubtedly take over the forces here. And Wang Keyuan and others will soon break into the bottom of the army. But Ning Jiang couldn't let this happen no matter what.

In Ning Jiang's view, the class law of the Great Zhou Dynasty should have been banned a long time ago. The essence of the "class law" is to prevent the mutiny of soldiers that occurred during the cutting of the feudal domain 400 years ago. On the one hand, the soldiers at the bottom have lost their way up, and no matter how hard they try, it is difficult to get promoted, and all the credit is taken by the superiors.

On the other hand, due to the military system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the right to train, command, and use troops were separated, and there was a situation where "the generals did not know the soldiers, and the soldiers did not know the generals". Once on the battlefield, the generals cannot rely on their prestige to convince the public, so they can only rely on class law, rely on their own ranks, and drive the soldiers with cold-blooded means.

Because there is a literary atmosphere in this world, it is the Confucian generals who really lead the army, and this system has indeed been effective in the past few hundred years. On the battlefield, as soon as the Confucian generals let go of their manners, the soldiers rushed forward. But now, the Confucian general's temperament began to lose, and the generals who commanded the soldiers had neither the civility nor the prestige, and many things began to change.

At the time of the barbarian invasion, there were many bombardments of the camp.

In order to strengthen military discipline, the commander suddenly ordered the soldiers to be ordered in the middle of the night, and the soldiers should be assembled within the specified time, and those who exceeded the time were immediately beheaded. In this case, everyone is scared, and the **** night life is in a depressive atmosphere.

Sometimes, in the middle of the night, the commander actually did not order the troops, but someone turned over or got up to urinate at night, which alarmed the people next to him, and the people next to him sat up in their sleep, thinking that they were counting the troops, and hurriedly got up, and alarmed the others, and finally the whole battalion hurriedly got up and rushed to the point of troops, and finally proved to be just a false alarm, this situation, called "night terrors".

Due to the existence of Wenqi, night terrors are often forcibly suppressed by the official authority of Wenqi as soon as they begin. But on the battlefield, in the absence of civility, because the enemy may attack at any time, everyone's spirit is in extreme tension, once there is a night terror, it will produce an extremely bad situation, everyone shouts loudly, running around, this is the camp roar, more serious, as if crazy, with a knife to kill the people around him, especially those commanders, often in the first time by the people to pounce on the brutal killing, that is, to bomb the camp.

During the month of the barbarian invasion, the bombing of the camp occurred from time to time, and often the shadow of the barbarian soldiers had not yet appeared, and the whole battalion had already killed each other to the point of almost death. It's just that these dead and wounded will eventually be included in the number of people killed in battle.

In these days, Ningjiang had to appear in the barracks every night, chatting with the soldiers who were on vigil, and walking around, in addition to winning the trust of the soldiers, and preventing these soldiers from fleeing from the north from bombing the camp. Distrust of the commanders, suspicion of victory, were important factors that led to the bombing of the battalion. It can be said that it was not until yesterday that the possibility of bombing the camp was really reduced after repelling the invading brute soldiers.

And now, Ju Zhirong wants to take the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army and accept the soldiers here with the class method, which he can't agree to anyway. The general does not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals, which is effective when preventing the courtiers from supporting the army and respecting themselves, but in the war with foreign enemies, it is often the source of defeat. And what he used this time is actually more similar to the "line of fire promotion" of a certain army in the modern history of another time, that is, the direct promotion of soldiers who performed bravely on the battlefield, which made everyone convinced.

On the one hand, this is the most effective motivation, and on the other hand, one's own leader is a hero who survives the bloody battle on the battlefield, which can also bring more security and trust to the soldiers. Of course, according to the "class law", there was no such upward channel as the promotion of the line of fire in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Listening to Guo Renqing's questioning, Ning Jiang sneered: "The status of the generals in this army is something they have gained through bloody battles on the battlefield in the past few days, and it is obtained by relying on the support of the soldiers. You have no military achievements, you are incompetent, you are idle in the capital on weekdays, and now you are here, and you want to take away their military power and replace their position in the army, but I am afraid that everyone will not accept it. ā€

Guo Renqing said angrily: "Ning Jiang, do you want to resist the decree?" ā€

Ning Jiang laughed and said, "How can I resist the decree?" ā€

Guo Renqing said loudly: "The will requires you to hand over the military power!" ā€

Ning Jiang said: "I handed it over?" I said that the soldiers here are not my personal soldiers, I have no military power in my hands, not a single soldier, but there are many righteous soldiers who have been called by the heroic order to come to help, but they are not soldiers. Although I don't have military power, I can't see it, and everyone can't see what you're doing, and I, as a staff officer here, can't see it. ā€

Guo Renqing then understood that he was going around in a circle to resist the decree, and the decree asked him to hand over the military power, he said that he had no military power, but he was only a staff officer here, he was just a staff officer, but everyone here listened to him......

Guo Renqing was furious: "You are quibbling!" ā€

Ning Jiang sneered: "I'm quibbling, you are incompetent!" ā€

Guo Renqing took a step forward and shouted, "What did you say? ā€

Ning Jiang shook his fan and said: "The status of the generals is obtained by their heroic fighting, in the corpses and blood all over the ground, a knife and a gun, if you are not convinced, the enemy is still outside, north of the Huang River, and most of them fall into the hands of the enemy, you also go outside to kill the barbarians, you kill more than everyone, everyone obeys you, go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, all obey orders." Now that you have not killed a barbarian and not an inch of land has been defended, I want everyone to listen to you, I just want to say...... Why? ā€

Guo Renqing's forehead was beating with green tendons, and he was about to refute, but he saw that behind Ning Jiang, those generals looked at the three of them with disdain and indifference, and froze there for a while.

For Wang Keyuan and these generals around him, they have long been accustomed to the class system in the army, and since the imperial court sent these three people and the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army to accept military power, they dare not speak up. However, Ning Hanlin's words spoke to their hearts.

They fought in the bloody battlefield and earned a position with their lives, why should they give it to these guys who have never killed even a barbarian soldier and are pampered in the capital on weekdays? Why should they once again hand over their lives and deaths to these commanders they don't trust at all?

Under the leadership of those incompetent generals, they were defeated again and again, and most of the people around them have died. They managed to escape here and won a successful battle, so should they fall into that cycle of rout again?

Ju Zhirong and Jiang Chenggui also had ugly faces, the holy decree had been issued, and in their opinion, obtaining military power was originally a matter of a few words. In the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, no one dared to go against the will of the imperial court like this. Especially this Ning Jiang, it is simply blatantly provoking the antagonism of these generals, but even they have to admit that if they are on the other side, they will be provoked by Ning Jiang's sharp words.

Ju Zhirong shouted: "Ningjiang ......"

Whew, and suddenly someone opened the account and entered. Ju Zhirong looked up and saw the three men who came in, one of whom suddenly shouted: "Lord Ning League, I heard that the imperial court sent someone to take away your military power?" ā€

Another person shouted: "What kind of military power is not military power, we Jianghu people don't understand this, we only know that we have worked hard to fight here, bleeding and sweating, why do we say that we will change it?"

The third person snorted coldly: "Lord Ning League, we are here to defend the territory for the imperial court, and the imperial court will not remember the merits, but it will be suspicious of us, so we will simply kill Qin Cha here, pull the flag and rebel, and oppose him." ā€

These three people are full of energy, and the shock makes Ju Zhirong and the other ear drums numb, Guo Renqing and Jiang Chenggui have bloodless faces, as the generals of the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army, they are also martial arts, but at this moment, with the internal strength of these three people, they already know that any of them, they are not opponents. And these three people, knowing that they were sent by the imperial court, pulled the flag and rebelled as soon as they opened their mouths, which made their hearts beat even more.

Ju Zhirong hurriedly said: "The three heroes are ......"

These three people said: "I am Chizhou Xiaozhang." "If you don't change your name, you don't change your surname, I, Chen Tianya, am just a fallen person on the rivers and lakes." "I'm stupid."

Ju Zhirong suddenly realized that Ning Jiang had invited him to the main tent in a good voice just now, and if he didn't do it, he was hiding his bad intentions. If there is a Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army by their side, even if it is three grandmaster-level masters in front of them, there is nothing to fear. But now, the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army is being rewarded outside, and these three skilled Jianghu guests are furious, if they really want to kill them, no one can save them here.

Ju Zhirong hurriedly said: "Three good men, there is something to say, something to say, something to say......"

At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and a general hurriedly opened the tent and entered: "Generals, it's not good, everyone heard the rumor from somewhere, saying that the imperial court sent someone to escort Ning Hanlin into the capital, and asked him about the crime of gathering soldiers and horses without permission. ā€

Ju Zhirong hurriedly led the general out, only to see a sea of people outside, all of whom were soldiers who came around. The Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army they brought was blocked in the distance. The surrounding people were in an uproar, and someone shouted loudly: "If Ning Hanlin takes me to resist the barbarians, it is also a crime, let me just disperse." "Resisting barbarians is guilty, is there any heavenly reason for this?" "Since we want to take Ning Hanlin away, then we will all disperse!" "Yes, if Ning Hanlin is guilty, then we are all guilty, so let's just disperse." ……

Ju Zhirong's face was bloodless, Han Xiang hoped that they would be able to receive the troops here, block Mu Bugu, or even exterminate Mu Bugu, if all the soldiers here were really dispersed, Mu Bugu could go straight to the capital, and retreat to attack the rear of Qiu De, the general of the left guard, then the situation was really more dangerous. In view of this situation, even the imperial court did not dare to say that it was illegal for Ning Jiang to gather troops here, but only hoped that the troops here would be accepted by the Holy Decree. Charging Ningjiang into Beijing, even if he wanted to, it was impossible to do it at this time, which was clearly instigated by someone.

He pointed at Ning Jiang with an angry face: "Didn't you say that you are not the commander of this place?" ā€

Ning Jiang held a feather fan in his left hand, and lowered his head and sighed: "I am not the coach, just a scholar, but the fame is too great, the prestige is too high, everyone has to support me as a handsome, and everyone has to do it." Alas, you can't understand this kind of trouble! ā€

Ju Zhirong: "You, you ......" was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
