Chapter 769: A Change of Understanding
After a long time in the Jiangning battalion, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo have fully integrated into the team, relatively speaking, they still occupy a certain advantage compared with ordinary sergeants, they have had the experience of leading troops to fight, and sometimes they must think independently, and they can stay calm when they see anything, this temperament is quickly shown in training, so it doesn't take long for the three of them to be from ordinary sergeants, competent for 100 households, each of them leads one hundred and fifty sergeants, They also knew the rules of the Jiangning battalion, whether it was combat or training, the officers were always at the forefront of the charge, and they insisted on doing so, no exception at any time.
The efforts of the three have long attracted Sun Chuanting's attention, in front of Su Tiancheng, the three of them have been mentioned several times, but Qu Qingze still has some doubts about the three of them, thinking that the hatred in the hearts of the three people may not be completely eliminated, and they are not afraid of 10,000 just in case, so they can't be reused for the time being, and they have to look at the future development, you must know that Lu Dao is in the Jiangning camp, and after being competent to a thousand households, you can see Su Tiancheng at any time, and if you become the commander of the guard, then you can follow Su Tiancheng's side when you fight.
The news that Zheng Zhilong sent warships to attack Weihaiwei has long spread among the sailors, during this time, although it is close to the Spring Festival, but the training of the sailors is particularly hard, needless to say, everyone also knows that the intensity of training means that the battle is about to begin, Su Tiancheng often said a word, sweat more on weekdays, and bleed less during war, this sentence was firmly remembered by the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion.
For several days in a row, Penglai City was heavily guarded, and all the officers and soldiers of the naval division were not allowed to leave the barracks and were on standby at any time. The big war is imminent.
Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo were particularly excited, this was the first time they participated in the battle, and in the past in the rebel army, they had charged into battle many times, fighting for the battle. I have long adapted to it, and later Zhang Xianzhong was exterminated by the Jiangning battalion, they hid and joined the Jianghu sect to kill the blood, during which they also thought about whether they could enter the righteous army led by Li Zicheng, but the contradiction between Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng made them hesitate to be like this. Even if he defects to Li Zicheng, he may not be reused, and there may be a disaster of killing.
Later, Li Zicheng was exterminated by the Jiangning battalion, and they completely let go of their inner desires, hoping to hide in the Blood-Killing Alliance and live a stable life. As for entering the depths of the mountains, it is even more unlikely. In the company of bandits, they were reluctant.
After the Blood-Killing Alliance was exterminated, they survived and entered the Jiangning camp, which was the beginning of their lives, after the Jiangning camp was edified. They absolutely admired Su Tiancheng, and they knew very well that the righteous army would never be the opponent of the Jiangning battalion, even if they could hide for a while, they would not be able to hide for a lifetime. In the end, it was the fate of being exterminated.
The living conditions of the people in Dengzhou, they have also seen with their own eyes, the people's lives are rich, especially after the autumn harvest, the people's grain harvest has been harvested, no one will starve because of the lack of food, think about the previous time in Shaanxi, because there is no food, and even people eat people, the people have no choice, so they rise up to rebel, look at the situation in Dengzhou, even if it is a madman, he will not think about the rebellion.
You must know that it only took a year to rebuild Dengzhou, and in just one year, it has become so rich and prosperous, which proves that Su Tiancheng's ability is by no means comparable to ordinary people.
The purpose of the three of them following Zhang Xianzhong is also so that the people can live a good life, although they have doubts about Zhang Xianzhong's purpose for a while, but Zhang Xianzhong is their father-in-law after all. Everything they experienced in Dengzhou and Jiangning made them understand what it is to really care about the people and what is really for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
Whether it is Zhang Xianzhong, Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng and others, these people they used to admire cannot be compared with Su Tiancheng.
The most impressive thing for the three of them is the military discipline and military regulations of the Jiangning battalion, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion will never dare to disturb the people, in this regard, the righteous army has not done it, although the righteous army is on behalf of the people, but in the process of conquest, because of the lack of food and grass, it has also robbed the people, these situations, ordinary sergeants do not know what to do, the three are clear, but in the Jiangning camp, such a situation absolutely does not exist, no one dares to violate the military regulations, if it is violated, the face will be the most severe punishment.
After the three of them entered the Jiangning camp, they were also worried about their identity, because they were Zhang Xianzhong's righteous sons, who had commanded the army to fight, and because of their brave combat and small fame, such a background, in the Jiangning camp, they may have been treated differently, in the usual training, they were particularly careful, recalling that their father-in-law Zhang Xianzhong used to treat the officials of the imperial court, indiscriminately beheaded, and also to kill the official's entire family, such a practice, the imperial court must know the way, they can not be killed, becoming an ordinary sergeant of the Jiangning battalion is considered very good.
What I didn't expect was that as they gradually showed their ability in training, they were promoted, from ordinary sergeants to small flags, then to general banners, to the current hundred households, and this kind of promotion is open, according to ability, and the rest of the Jiangning battalion soldiers have no opinions, the capable are up and the mediocre are down, this kind of understanding is very common in the Jiangning battalion.
There are all kinds of reasons, so that the understanding of the three people, in a short period of time, has undergone a huge change, they began to doubt the actions of their father-in-law, began to doubt the purpose of the righteous army, for what many leaders of the righteous army, they are all living a life of spending days and drinking, but their mouths have always said that it is for the common people, and some of the leaders of the righteous army, openly snatching beautiful women, there are many women around them, still not satisfied, most of the leaders of the righteous army, for the thirst for wealth, to the extent of greed, the purpose of attacking the city, They went for money and women, and they didn't think of letting the common people live a good life, and when they had money, they gathered together to eat, drink, and have fun, and when they didn't have money, they went to attack cities and villages and towns, and plundered.
There is no comparison, there is no identification, after a long time in the Jiangning camp, everything I have seen, compared with the previous days in the righteous army, I found the difference, and only then did I understand who really did things for the people.
After several promotions, the three of them made up their minds to follow Su Tiancheng to the death.
The three of them are not very old, but their experience is very rich, when the three of them were very young, they followed Zhang Xianzhong around, and the long-term fight made them more ordinary sergeants, with different understandings and in-depth analysis.
After joining the water division, they noticed that Zheng Zhilong, who was far away in Fujian, was also a Daming water master, but the Jiangning Ying water master and Zheng Zhilong's water master basically had no contact, which must be a little abnormal.
The construction of Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou, they are gradually familiar with it, everywhere needs silver, the salary of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion is even more surprising to them, every month is paid on time, there has never been a situation of arrears, the life of the sergeants is very good, there is no need to farm, there is no need to do other things, every day is training, which shows that the Jiangning battalion is a professional army, and it has truly done to protect the family and defend the country, but all of this requires huge expenses.
The strange thing is that there is no situation of exploiting the people here, the people's lives are generally good, where did so much silver come from, after the opening of Weihaiwei Wharf, the income is quite rich, so that the three of them understand some truth, it turns out that Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou and even all the expenses of Jiangning camp are obtained through the form of commerce.
The three of them naturally thought that the opening of Weihaiwei Wharf would definitely affect Zheng Zhilong in Fujian, Zheng Zhilong would not obediently obey the mercy, his own interests were damaged, and he must be protected.
Therefore, they expected that soon after, a large-scale conflict would inevitably break out between Jiangning Yingshui Shi and Zheng Zhilong, and the winner would be king, which was an eternal truth.
At the same time of training, they began to analyze many situations, such as when the conflict would break out, and the scale of the conflict, etc., how the sailor should respond, these issues that originally belonged to Su Tiancheng's consideration, also appeared in their discussions.
There is no doubt that they support the sailors and hope that the Jiangning Battalion sailors will completely defeat Zheng Zhilong, so that they can protect the interests of Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou, and protect the interests of the people here.
When they followed Zhang Xianzhong to fight, and when they were in the Blood-Killing Alliance, they had the opportunity to come into contact with water operations, although the scale was not very large, but some basic tactics, they knew a little bit about them, especially when they were in the Blood-Killing Alliance, because they had to complete some assassination tasks, these tasks, completed in the rivers, were the cleanest and neatest, and would not leave the slightest trace, thinking of sea operations, the same reason.
After the three of them discussed, they felt that it was necessary to see Su Tiancheng, report their own experience, and remind Su Tiancheng that when the sailors were fighting, they must pay attention to what aspects of the problem, the reason why they wanted to see Su Tiancheng directly was that they felt that their own suggestions, if they were taken seriously, could be implemented quickly, and they could also leave a deep impression on Su Tiancheng, indicating that their understanding had completely changed.
On behalf of the three of them, Liu Wenxiu wanted Sun Chuanting to make a request, and implored him to see Su Tiancheng and put forward relevant suggestions.
At this time, the sailor has already begun to make preparations for the launch. (To be continued......)
