Chapter 35: The Soldier's Mission

"At present, there is a stream of Japanese robbers in Shandong, they rob the people's food, hug the people's wives and daughters, burn down the people's houses, and even kill the people who give us food and wages. Can we let the common people who usually raise us call the heavens and the earth unspiritual? Can you? ”

"No, no." The soldiers' voices grew louder and louder, as if they were infected by the tragic scene described by Zhu Youzhen.

"This is the first mission of our soldiers: to fight to feed our people."

"Brethren, in the event of a war, casualties are inevitable, but who will provide for the wounded soldiers? Who paid the pensions to the families of the fallen soldiers? ”

"Brothers, who provides for our families in normal times? Transporting food and materials for us before the war, replenishing food, equipment and personnel for us during the war, and rewarding us for meritorious deeds after the war? ”

"It's the imperial court, it's the Ming Dynasty."

"Without the comprehensive allocation of the imperial court, the soldiers on the front line will have worries, and without the comprehensive management of the imperial court, it will not be possible to ensure that the people produce food and provide military salaries."

"Brothers, this is the second mission of the soldiers: to fight for the Ming Dynasty that guarantees supplies."

"Long live Daming! Long live the Emperor! Zhu Youzhen took the lead in shouting slogans, although his language was not entirely convincing, and although the practices of the imperial court and court officials would not satisfy every soldier, no one would think carefully about these issues at this moment of excitement. The atmosphere, the warm atmosphere of the scene, can drown out everyone with dissidents. I wonder if the Nazis were inspired in this way.

"Long live Daming! Long live the Emperor! The soldiers shouted along, in order to let others hear their voices, they shouted desperately when Zhu Youzhen waved his arms into the sky, trying to completely drown out the voices of others.

"Hooray! Banzai! "Some of the soldiers simplified automatically, and soon led others, and the slogans gradually became neat again.

Zhu Youzhen stopped waving his arms, and the cheers on the scene gradually thinned out.

"Brethren, as soldiers, we must shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending our homeland and our country. However, the battlefield is dangerous, and the sword soldiers have no eyes. While we annihilate the enemy, the enemy will also fight back, like a hungry wolf, and only by destroying them can we save ourselves. ”

"Brothers of the Fenwu Battalion, if we become deserters, we will not only be punished by the laws and regulations of the country, but also disgrace the Fenwu Battalion, and even more shame on your parents, wives and children. If we don't desert, we must kill the enemy bravely, and if you don't kill the enemy, the enemy will kill you. ”

"Only by killing the enemy can we return home safely."

"The Ming court hopes that you can go home, Fenwuying hopes that you can go home, and your parents, wives and children hope that you can go home safely."

"As a soldier, can you let your family down? Answer me, can you? ”

"No, no, no." The soldiers were hoarse, pointing their scimitars and spears at the sky, as if that was where the enemy was, and they were trying to poke out countless holes in the imaginary enemy.

"No, we can't." Zhu Youzhen pushed the soldiers' feelings and impulsiveness to the top.

"That's the third mission of a military member: to fight for the families who are waiting for us to come home."

"Now there are 2,000 Japanese pirates who are ravaging the Ming Dynasty's Shandong, and the emperor has an order to fight the military camp to exterminate it. For the sake of the people, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, for ourselves and our families, the brothers of the 6,000 Fenwu Battalion, do you have the confidence to annihilate them? ”

"Yes, yes, yes." If the Japanese can hear the determination of the soldiers of the Fenwu Battalion, I believe they must escape faster than the dogs, but it is a pity that these Japanese who have been burned and killed in Daming # Adultery and plundered, and have already owed a huge blood debt, are not the opportunity to hear the life-threatening voice of the Fenwu Battalion.

"Those who offend me as a strong man will be punished even if they are far away." Zhu Youzhen was also moved, moved by these excited soldiers. Who said that the Ming didn't have good soldiers? The Fenwu Camp is a living example of this. The morale of these soldiers, who were not well fed, listless, ineffective, war-weary and timid a few months ago, is now completely capable of crushing any enemy who stands in the way. If they can get the baptism of war, Zhu Youzhen believes that they will definitely be able to become the tiger and wolf army and the iron-blooded army of the Ming Dynasty.

"Those who offend me as a strong man will be punished even if they are far away." The voices of the soldiers were not weakened at all because of the hoarseness, and the uniform slogans were like the baptism of the Ming Dynasty's rebirth.

"Brothers, the Fenwu Battalion is about to go on the march, and now let's sing our military song together. The Fenwu Battalion is a whole, and the military song is the link that connects me. ”

"The wolf smoke rises

Looking north

Dragon Rises

The horse hissed

…………”

The high-pitched rhythm is particularly majestic in the neat male voice. Although many of them were out of tune, and although many of them were no longer able to make a sound in their vocal cords, nothing could stop them from having the confidence to annihilate the Japanese invaders.

Zhu Youzhen is not worried about the blind self-confidence of the soldiers, in front of the Japanese invaders, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have no self-confidence at all, and the hundreds of thousands of troops in Shandong are in front of the two thousand Japanese invaders, fleeing from the wind, wounded and losing their ground, that is, they do not have the courage to fight against the Japanese invaders, and if they really want to fight with the Japanese invaders, hundreds of thousands of Shandong soldiers, relying only on gravity, can crush the Japanese to death.

"Okay, you are worthy of being the soldiers of the Fenwu Battalion, and you are worthy of the elite of the Beijing Division. But I hope that while you are annihilating the enemy, you can protect yourself to the fullest, and you can return to your hometown and reunite with your family in peace, so that your family can be proud of you. Zhu Youzhen paused and adjusted his hoarse voice, "But the state has national laws, the army has military regulations, and only iron discipline can cast a strong army, and can better kill and injure the enemy and preserve itself." Now, I read out the military regulations of the Fenwu Battalion, and the officers and men of the Fenwu Battalion, whether officers or soldiers, will not be spared any violation of military orders. ”

Subsequently, in the silence of the audience, Zhu Youzhen read out the revised Ming military regulations seventeen slashes:

First, the drum does not enter, the gold does not stop, the flag cannot be raised, the flag is not subdued, and it is cut;

Second, the name should not be called, the time is not enough, the time is not violated, the law of the teacher is changed, and it is beheaded;

3. If you don't listen to the general's orders, you will be angry with the general, you will not listen to the constraints, and you will be beheaded;

Fourth, the bow and crossbow have no strings, the arrows have no feather clusters, the sword halberd is unfavorable, the banner is withered, and it is beheaded;

5. Everywhere he went, he humiliated the people, stole property, forced women to rape, and beheaded them;

…………

16. On the occasion of calling, the tongue should not be stammered, the face is difficult, the yang is contrary to the yin, and it is cut off;

XVII. Supporting injuries and illnesses to avoid conquest; pinching and feigning death, thus escaping; Chop it off.

In fact, the reading of the military regulations is just an emphasis, the military regulations of the Fenwu battalion, the soldiers have long been studied, although some soldiers can not fully memorize it, but they also know the general content, know what they should do, what they can't do.

What Zhu Youzhen read out just now is the prohibition in the military regulations, which the soldiers must not violate, and if they violate such a military order, they will be killed, which is also what Zhu Youzhen said, a way to protect themselves.

Zhu Youzhen didn't want these bans to dilute the exuberant passion of the soldiers, so he read it quickly, basically reminding the soldiers that they must not get carried away by violating military orders because they are killing the enemy, or even because they have military merits. Military orders are necessary at all times, and there is iron discipline before there is an iron army.
