Chen Wen's method was indeed tabooed by the scholar class, and although they had always done so, they were hostile to others, especially the Donglin Party.

But with the rebellion and its consequences, there are some things that must be given more attention, the most important of which is loyalty.

Today's Jinhua Ming Army comes from the Nantang battalion when Chen Wen was under the Ming army of Dalan Mountain. The army that he has honed by his own hands has theoretically no other allegiance. But the occurrence of the rebellion made Chen Wen realize that he still imagined the attributes of this army too high.

All along, officers at all levels of this army have been loyal to her founder, Chen Wen. Theoretically, Chen Wen also enshrined the king of Jianguo Lu as the orthodoxy of the emperor, which made him gain the name of righteousness, but if the allegiance chain of the officers loyal to him was broken, such as the rebellion that occurred under Cao Conglong's coercion and temptation this time, it was not enough to rely on the military judges who were responsible for maintaining military discipline to eliminate the rebellion.

Military judges, as well as the suppressors who were accountable to them, theoretically had the right to supervise part of the army, but this right was incomplete, and their daily work was only to maintain the enforcement and implementation of military law, which aroused the resentment of the officers and non-commissioned officers for a long time. It is precisely because of this that when a rebellion breaks out, once the officers choose to rebel, the military judges are powerless because they cannot get more support to eliminate the possibility of rebellion.

The so-called supervising army needs to do nothing more than to supervise the army to prevent its defection, boost the morale of the army, and ensure the supply of military supplies. In order to fundamentally solve this problem, we must first complete the rights of the supervising army. Chen Wen had already divided the right to build the army from the day he founded the army, but he was too confident in his own prestige to underestimate the possibility of rebellion.

Since personal loyalty can no longer ensure the absolute unity of the army, it is simply necessary to establish a faith that can unite people's hearts and minds to one point, and make people willing to pay for their positions. The power of faith, with the help of the work of the supervising officers in accordance with the work of the political commissars of later generations, to ensure and enhance the influence of faith in the officers and pawns, supplemented by the military law upheld by the military judge and the quartermaster's supply to ensure that the army is always in his hands.

Of course, the faith that Chen Wen wanted to establish was not a religion. Faith can be a religion, a political party, an ideology, an ism, an opinion, and everything in between. And the core idea of the faith he wants to establish is the defense of Yixia!

"Rong Di jackal, not tired, Zhu Xia is intimate, can not be abandoned", "Inner Xia, and outside Yi Di", "Yi Di has a king, not as good as the death of Zhu Xia", "If it is not my race, its heart will be different", "The descendants do not seek Xia, Yi does not mess with China", "The righteousness of "Spring and Autumn", "Yi Di can not be governed by China, such as birds and beasts"......

Since Guan Zhong and Confucius, the defense of Yixia is one of the most important components of Confucianism, and it has been discussed in all dynasties, even ordinary people who can't read a single word can say a few words. The Ming Dynasty itself arose by expelling the tyrannical yuan, and arguments such as "Yidi, beasts, fearing power but not virtue" are even more familiar to Chen Wen.

This kind of thinking is just right for the current situation when the barbarians are about to destroy China, and it is just right for the army under his command to rise up against foreign invasion. So Chen Wen decided to arm his army with these ancient Chinese nationalist ideas, and at the same time take the army into complete control.

"Mr. Zhou, the establishment of the club will indeed cause the taboo of Shilin, but this Huayi defense is the way of Confucius and Mencius, and this commander only intends to make more soldiers accept the teachings of the saints, so as to improve the combat capability of the army."

After listening carefully to Chen Wen's plan, Zhou Jingting soon realized that it was definitely not as simple as Chen Wen said, and if it aroused the disgust of other scholars, it would not be conducive to the development of this anti-Qing force. But since Chen Wen has made up his mind, and whether it is his position or his sister who has traveled hundreds of miles to ask for help, the Zhou family has already been tied to Chen Wen on a rope, and now he can only do his best to do a good job, and at the same time hope that Chen Wen's method is really effective.

"As for what the supervising army below should do, we must fight for the faith of the soldiers and the people in the spirit of patient persuasion and inducement, and unite them to fight resolutely under the leadership of Yixia Defense and Wang Shi."

After saying this, Chen Wen thought with bad taste that the author who wrote this passage in later generations was a son of the Zhou family from Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and although Zhou Jingting's family has been in Jinhua for a long time, it is also from Shaoxing, but I don't know if it is the same ancestor as the Zhou family, which has many talents.

Whatever he is, although Zhou Jingting is not the kind of person who has a fanatical belief in Chen Wen, Zhou Jingting's understanding of Confucian classics is indeed what Chen Wen needs, so let him put up the shelf for the time being.

"The program and some organizational learning materials are being edited by Mr. Lao Zhou these days."

"If the lord has an order, the students will go all out." After that, Zhou Jingting suddenly remembered something, and then asked: "The so-called name is right, dare to ask the lord, how should this club be called?" ”

Name, this is a big problem, Chen Wen once had the idea of forming a Tiandihui in Zhejiang, but because Cao Conglong rebelled with the help of the idea of Zhongjun, he had to prevent the slogan of "Heavenly Father and Earth Mother, oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty" from giving people a handle. Case......

"Expel the Tartars, save the people, restore the old land of the Han family, and rebuild Chinese civilization. Let's call it the Chinese Revival Association! ”

The affairs of the political party had already been decided, so Chen Wen and Zhou Jingting discussed the details in the big tent, so that they could set up a shelf, select some for relevant training, and then send "political commissars" at all levels in his name, so that as long as the work was carried out according to the work methods of later generations, the army should be completely controlled in their hands.

Moreover, those "political commissars" will also play the role of brainwashing megaphones, as long as the soldiers feel that the sacrifice is meaningful, they will definitely be able to build an army that dares to sacrifice, and an army that dares to sacrifice will be unstoppable, just like the original Nantang Battalion, where most of the officers and soldiers on Dalan Mountain joined as volunteers, or even better than before.

After tossing for two days, the basic program and system were finally designed, and Chen Wen, who was responsible for the flag, logo, etc., was also designed, and someone was found to make it, and he was the first member of the Huaxia Revival Association, and the inevitable president.

Chen Wen, the first batch of members, mainly middle and high-ranking military officers, had drawn up a list, and on the civilian side, Chen Wen planned to ask Sun Yu about his attitude, which was the starting point for infiltration into the civil and Confucian classes, and Chen Wen believed that Sun Yu would support him. However, before he took the time to find Sun Yu, Han Qizheng also sent someone to bring news, saying that the interrogation and verdict of the rebel organizers and participants and the rebel gentry had been completely completed, and he planned to let Chen Wen see where he needed to add.

He had already set the tone before, and Han Qizheng's arraignment officers also had Chen Wen's eyeliner, these sentencing officers did not have the slightest leniency for traitors, and the punishments were all severe and severe. Since this is the case, Chen Wen didn't plan to waste too much time on this, so he simply swept and determined the public execution the next day.

The next morning, the weather was not beautiful, and it was drizzling when it was almost auspicious. Chen Wen came to the venue that was previously used for Ling Chi Ma Jinbao as scheduled, but there were very few people in the venue, not only did he not mention the same interest in dealing with rebellion as when he killed Ma Jinbao, but he was still afraid of the possibility of heavy rain.

However, since it was a matter of dealing with rebellion, the officers, non-commissioned officers, civil officials, petty officials, and even craftsmen in the various ministries had to rush to receive a wave of education to deal with the negative typical way to deter potential opponents.

Cao Conglong, the main envoy of the rebellion, had the status of a superintendent, and if Chen Wen killed him without permission, he would be regarded as a rebel by other members of the ruling class, whether Cao Conglong initiated the rebellion or not, so Chen Wen had sent Zhang Jun to Fujian, and handed over Cao Conglong's life and death to Lu Jianguo to decide.

In addition to Cao Conglong, Lu Wenlong, the former chief secretary of Jinhua County, connected Luo Chengyan Baitou Army, Ordnance Department and some other civilian officials, as well as Liu Cheng, the general of Dongyang County in the later stage of the rebellion, all of which have conclusive evidence of the crime, but unfortunately he has been wiped out because he "discovered Liu Cheng's anti-intrigue scheme", and at this moment he can only hang his head up and show it to the public.

In contrast, Chen Wen met the messenger sent by Liu Cheng to report the news in the Quzhou camp, and the guy missed him because he was afraid of being intercepted and killed by the rebels and took a detour, so Chen Wen temporarily gave up the pursuit of Liu Cheng after making sure that this person was not lying, but the suspicion of double-sided betting had already taken root in Chen Wen's heart, so it was no longer possible for Liu Cheng, a general, to lead the troops independently, and it was better to be a training officer in the old camp and refrigerate it.

Under this, the most serious crimes were the original officials of the Ordnance Division, if it were not for them, Cao Conglong would not be able to obtain weapons, armor, or even artillery even with the support of the Luochengyan Baitou Army, then it would be impossible to defeat the garrison guarding the city.

If you add to that the many crimes of concealing and hiding military supplies, hindering technological upgrading, embezzlement and corruption, Han Qizheng's final sentence of beheading and confiscating female dependents into the sect is not so harsh, at least the fact that they were not executed has greatly disappointed some people who lost their families in the rebellion, especially the families of the garrison of Jinhua Mansion City.

It's just that Chen Wen didn't plan to do so at first. Even at the moment when women can only be vassals of men in the family, it is a little difficult for a modern person like him to accept, after all, this sentence is not a slave in the teaching department, which is to destroy the innocence and happiness of those women's lives. But once he remembered the loyal soldiers who lost their lives in the rebellion, the families who lost their families, and the evil consequences of this rebellion, Chen Wen's heart of revenge became more and more firm, and those untimely soft-heartedness were immediately discarded by him in the corner of his soul.

In addition to these civil officials of the Ordnance Department, the typical civil officials in various counties also received this treatment, including Yan Zhiheng, the magistrate of Dongyang County.

This is an old civil official, but Chen Wen's impression of him is still the pedantic and selfish on the way south of Siming Mountain. It's just that when his youngest daughter was pushed out by the officials to verify her identity, the empathy in Chen Wen's memory also followed, especially Wang Jiang's mother and Sun Yu's wife once had the intention of persuading Yan Zhiheng to give this woman to Chen Wen as his wife, if this matter came true, I think Yan Zhiheng would not choose to rebel, but stood up to protect the rights and interests of his son-in-law.

Everything is irreversible, and the happiness of this young woman's life has been completely ruined by her father's stupid short-sightedness. This is what happens to traitors, and Chen Wen and the civilian and military generals loyal to Chen Wen need to make potential opponents understand the consequences of betrayal.

At the meeting, the judge read out the crime, the executioner raised his broadsword to complete the punishment, and the women were bound by rough ropes, and one by one they were sent to the newly built Workshop Division for training.

Seeing all this happening in front of their eyes, not only those who came to "get an education" were terrified, but even the other criminals in the back of the queue remembered those virtues that had been forgotten before, and begged Chen Wen to give them a chance to mend their ways, and did not hesitate to knock their heads to the blood for this.

However, at this moment, it is too late, and the cry of blood cannot change the verdict made of steel, nor can it change the heart that has gradually begun to become as hard as iron and stone in the process of exclusion, slaughter and betrayal.

It took a long time for the civil officials, petty officials, and rebellious military judges who participated in the rebellion to be executed. The rain in the sky became heavier and heavier, and Chen Wen didn't know who God was crying for, whether it was the tragedy of those traitors, or the sorrow that came to him because of his current iron heart. But when the rainstorm passed and the sun broke through the clouds and shone on the venue of Jinhua Mansion again, the final verdict had been handed down.

Ding Shenyan, a member of Yongkang County, was convicted of many crimes such as organizing regimental training without authorization, killing disabled soldiers, **** women from good families, forcibly seizing pension property, arson and murder, colluding with the Qing army, and resisting Wang Shi. According to the Da Ming Law, Ding Shenyan was specially sentenced to beheading all over the house, confiscating family property, and confiscating the female dependents of the family into the sect as slaves, and could not redeem himself forever. ”

When it is over, these rotten branches and leaves are removed, and the big tree will be renewed. And Chen Wen also firmly believes that even if the future change is full of resistance, he will do his best to persevere. Only in this way will we not fail this long-term sacrifice. (To be continued.) )
