Chapter 43: Peace
What's the big deal?
Naturally, it was a major event to kill the big families and coerce the remaining people in the city.
The more people you coerce, the more young people you can use!
Zhou Shixiang didn't want to do it right away, but he just recruited those victims today, and those young people just changed their military uniforms, and I am afraid that they don't even know their names between the top and bottom, and most of them are panicked in their hearts.
Moreover, copying big households is not the main purpose, and completely coercing the people of the whole city is Zhou Shixiang's ultimate goal. The propertied have perseverance, and those who have not been affected by the disaster can support themselves as long as they can support themselves, it is difficult to give up everything and take the whole family to the road of joining the army, so it is impossible to encourage them to be like the disaster victims who have nothing. The only way to confuse is to force persecution.
What Zhou Shixiang lacks most is force, even if he now has hundreds of loyal soldiers under his command, he can definitely easily take all the residents of Luoding away. Unfortunately, he didn't, so he had to take it one step at a time.
The most important thing in these two days was to give the 300-odd young men a preliminary training and to properly accommodate the old and weak women and children, so that these people could develop a sense of collective belonging in the shortest possible time, so that the interests of this group could be defended.
After Zhou Shixiang told everyone what he thought, everyone agreed, and now he still has to hold the knife handle thoroughly, otherwise, he can't do anything about copying big households and coercing the rest of the people.
Training is not a troublesome matter, whether it is Boss Hu or Zhao Sihai, there are seven or eight of these men who have worked in the army, so knowing how to train soldiers is nothing more than beating and scolding.
Of course, Zhou Shixiang preferred the training methods of later generations, but the time was too urgent at the moment, and he only needed those young men to obey the order in two days, and did not expect them to be able to go into battle to kill the enemy immediately, so he did not express his opinion on how to train the troops. Compared with the training methods of later generations, beating and scolding may be more efficient, because the audience is different.
Taking advantage of the fact that all the old brothers were basically there, Song Xianggong felt that some things might as well be settled. Since everyone has approved the establishment of a public treasury, all the money and grain will be kept by the public treasury in the future, and then distributed by the public treasury to each team.
Zhou Shixiang added a few words, he said that not only the money and grain should be put into the public treasury, but also the weapons, horses, and livestock seized in the future should also be handed over to the public treasury, and each team was not allowed to hide privately.
How is it punished? Naturally, it is the law of marching, cutting off the head!
The beheading was personally sent by Boss Hu, and he knew that only by maintaining the authority of the public treasury could he maintain his authority. If these subordinates don't hand over good things, then he, as a leader, can't do it.
Prevent the slightest problem, set the rules in advance, and implement them in the future, otherwise the rules will be greatly reduced when something happens.
Zhou Shixiang agreed with Hu Boss's punishment opinion, the public treasury was proposed by him, and he must absolutely defend the authority of the public treasury in public and private, otherwise, what do you want this public treasury to do. In troubled times, heavy codes are used, and if you break the rules, you have to cut off your head!
Everyone had no opinion on this, and Zhou Shixiang made it clear to them that the things in the public treasury were actually their old brothers', so where would they tolerate someone stealing things and not handing them over.
"Who dares to hide it, without waiting for the eldest brother to speak, Lao Tzu will cut off his head first!"
Ge Wu scolded viciously, he was an authentic bandit, and several of these men present were his original subordinates, and when he heard this, he was naturally silent.
Everyone had no opinion, so Song Xianggong said that the six families had already sent 70 stones of grain to the Yamen today, and the remaining 50 stones would be delivered before sunset tomorrow.
Boss Hu struck while the iron was hot, and asked Song Xianggong to be in charge of the public treasury in the future, and all the money and grain would be put into the treasury from now on.
In this regard, Song Xianggong took the lead, but said that there must be people under his command to do it, otherwise, how to take care of it?
When Boss Hu asked Zhou Shixiang and Song Xianggong who would lead the troops to take care of the public treasury, Zhao Sihai recommended himself.
Zhao Sihai is a fine person, obviously more reassuring than Ge Wu, Song Xianggong has no objection, Zhou Shixiang does not object, and Hu Boss has settled down at the moment, and Zhao Sihai's team of soldiers will be responsible for the care of the public treasury in the future.
Zhou Shixiang asked Song Xianggong to be responsible for the placement of the old and weak women and children, Song Xianggong thought about it and nodded in agreement, suggesting that the public treasury and the old and weak women and children would be together in the future, so that it would be more convenient to distribute food at that time.
Everyone said yes.
The bald man suddenly asked, "Then what will we call the camp head in the future?" ”
Camp head?
Zhou Shixiang was stunned for a moment, not understanding what this thing was. Song Xianggong explained for him, the so-called battalion head, is the name of the soldiers and horses, now there are many battalions in the Ming army in Guangdong, such as the Liangguang Governor Lian Chengbi under the soldiers and horses in addition to the supervision of the battalion, there are also loyal battalions, loyal battalions, water division camps, etc., the four governors Zhang Xiaoqi under the command of the men and horses is called the "volunteer battalion", in short, this battalion head sounds majestic, must not be a cat and a dog, that not only does not sound loud, but also makes their own soldiers demoralized.
"Yes, we are not green forest heroes who have fallen into the grass now, but we have to have a serious battalion leader, so that others can remember that we are Ming officers and soldiers, not a group of robbers and bandits."
Boss Hu never forgot that his current identity is a general of Daming Luoding, as a general of a state, of course he hopes that his soldiers and horses will have a loud battalion head. If he really fights in the future, he Hu Quanke will be famous.
Song Xianggong pondered for a moment, and said that since we are in Luoding against the Qing Dynasty, let's call it Luoding Battalion, and you will understand where we are when you hear it.
"No, absolutely not, what Luo Dingying, it doesn't sound majestic at all!" Ge Wumeng shook his head, very dissatisfied with Song Xianggong's camp.
Song Xianggong glanced at him: "Then what do you say it's called?" ”
"If you want me to say, this name should not only be majestic, but also show the righteousness of our brothers!" Ge Wu will raise a camp head, but he put forward his own opinion, that is, this camp head must show the word righteousness!
"Yes, to show righteousness, our brothers are doing great things with their heads, isn't it righteous to rely on!"
"Mr. Song will think about it for everyone according to Brother Ge's wishes!"
Ge Wu's opinion was unanimously supported by everyone.
"Do you want to show righteousness?"
Song Xianggong closed his eyes and pondered, and when he opened his eyes for a moment, he already had, "Then call it Yihe Camp." ”
"Boxer?"
Zhou Shixiang, who had just picked up the bowl and drank saliva to moisten his throat, heard these three words, and almost didn't spray a mouthful of water on Song Xianggong's face.
Zhou Shixiang's reaction surprised Song Xianggong: "What? Brother Zhou thinks this name is not good? ”
"It's not bad, it's just"
Zhou Shixiang endured the words "Boxer" in the back of his head, and after thinking about it carefully, he said to everyone: "I think so, we don't have to be too majestic in this camp, if it is too majestic, it will attract hatred, everyone thinks, then when the Qing army hears that our camp is so loud, can it not rush us?" So this camp can't be too loud, according to me, let's call it Taiping Camp, this Taiping word to show that our brothers are fighting Taiping for the people of the world, so that it doesn't attract hatred, and the people can understand what we do. ”
"Taiping Camp?" Boss Hu savored the name, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Okay, good, Taiping, Taiping, let's call it Taiping Camp in the future!" ”
