Chapter 36: The Role of the Political Commissar

It's no wonder that everyone is so excited, just because Zhu Cheng deliberately linked the natural disaster with the Taiping Sect. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Isn't Taiping religion a religion, isn't it a regular practice? So Zhu Chengcheng said in the drama that this natural and man-made disaster was caused by the Taiping Sect, and the purpose was to take the opportunity to give porridge to save people and buy people's hearts. At the same time, it is also to force the people of the world to the desperate, so that they can ascend to the heights.

Offstage, Ouyang Xing, who acted as a narrator, also took the opportunity to continue to publicize in the intersition, in fact, he kept asking questions, such as: "Why does the Taiping Sect always appear in time when natural and man-made disasters occur, and give porridge to save people?" ”

Through these questions one by one, the people have to think passively, and at the same time, their eyes are attracted by the drama, so their thinking will often be affected and move forward in the direction preset by Zhu Cheng. In the end, they came to a conclusion, the Taiping Sect should be damned, and the Yellow Turban Thieves are their enemies!

This is the guidance of public opinion, originally natural disasters and man-made disasters are related to astronomy and geography, of course, strictly speaking, the family is the biggest clown. It's just that Zhu Cheng deliberately didn't mention the family, and at the same time, because the people were used to the high level of the family, so he instigated it a little, and the biggest resentment buried in his heart was all vented to the Taiping Sect and the Yellow Turban Thief.

During the Yu period, there was a lot of water, and his father was blocked when he saw the water, but he didn't know that it was better to be sparse. The people's sentiment cannot be stopped, and only guidance is just. These people were so suppressed that even Ouyang Xing felt a little uncontrollable in the anger that erupted.

"Folks!" Zhu Cheng had to take the stage in person, Ouyang Xing had been in the industry for too short a time, and in the face of thousands of angry people, it was inevitable that he would be a little afraid.

"According to the latest information, the Yellow Turban thieves are operating in Jizhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou and Nanyang areas of Jingzhou, which have caused a large number of cities and towns to be destroyed and a large number of people to be displaced. They did not fulfill their promises, nor did they give any land to the people, but only sent those who followed them to die, conquered the city for them, and completely treated them as consumables!

Now that the Han is in danger, how can you, as a citizen of the Han Dynasty, be alone? Moreover, the ultimate target of the Yellow Turban Thieves is still the Sili region, and one day they will kill them. Is there any chance that you will continue to be numb? When the time comes, who do you expect to help you? Or are you going to continue to leave your homeland and become a refugee who is at risk of starving to death on the way to death?!

There is a kind, join the army and enlist in the army, and defend the country with the right Zhonglang and fight against the Yellow Turban thieves! One day, you will return to your hometown with the title of hero, and it is definitely not a dream to be promoted to become rich! What are you waiting for? Don't you have to regret it one day when you watch your fellow countrymen ride tall horses and return home as officers? Zhu Cheng basically put glory and utilitarianism together, for the people glory is too far away, but utilitarianism is very realistic.

"General, take me one!" Immediately, someone jumped out and said that he wanted to join the army, Zhu Cheng looked at Ouyang Xing, but the latter shook his head vaguely, indicating that this was not a to.

However, Tuo, who was placed in the hands of the people, also said that he wanted to join the army for the first time, and even used this to incite a few words. With role models, it is natural that more young people will have dreams to join the army, and in a short time more than 3,000 people have been recruited. This is still the result of Zhu Cheng's statement that he would rather lack than indiscriminate, and carefully selected.

Selections like this don't last a day, and Zhu Cheng took a look around the counties and towns around Luoyang.

It took five days to recruit an army of 30,000 people, each of whom was really young and strong, at most it was a little lacking in nutrition and spirit, but he had also trained a strong body after working on the farm for a long time.

"Third uncle, 30,000 qualified young and strong people have been recruited in various places, please check!" Zhu Cheng led the team of 30,000 people to Zhu Jun, but the latter looked at this team with an expression of disbelief.

"These are all recruited by the virtuous nephew?" It's no wonder that Zhu Jun couldn't believe it, you must know that he also sent people to recruit those Diao people in Si Li, but there were very few applicants. Recruiting 30,000 people in five days is unimaginable.

"If it weren't for that, how could my nephew suddenly conjure up these 30,000 people? It's just that their grain and grass, I'm afraid it's going to give my uncle a headache! In addition, the nephew felt that the part that was originally recruited should also be carefully selected, so as to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops! Zhu Cheng took the opportunity to propose.

In the early days, in order to replenish the army, the soldiers recruited were almost uneven, and many of them were over forty years old. According to Zhu Cheng's meaning, Zhu Jun's nearly 20,000 army can be streamlined at one time, and even as long as the 30,000 army behind him is actually enough.

Zhu Jun hesitated, considering the problem of military rations, so he agreed. However, he plans to reduce some of the 30,000 people, and probably only retain the size of about 20,000 people.

The battle is all about logistics, and the supply of nearly 50,000 people is very terrible. According to Zhu Jun's meaning, keeping 30,000 people is already his limit, and he is afraid that the grain and grass still need to be purchased locally, and even rely on seizure!

After another three days or so of selection, Zhu Jun really couldn't delete more soldiers. Zhu has already streamlined it once, and all the soldiers selected are qualified. What Zhu Jun could do was to eliminate those who still had old people in the family and no brothers, and Rao kept 20,000 people.

On the contrary, the originally selected troops can at least delete tens of thousands of people. It's just that for various reasons, he retained the scale of 15,000 people, many of which are veterans, especially the part provided by Huangfu Song, who have the ability to ride horses, and they are qualified cavalrymen with a little training, but the ones recruited by Zhu Cheng can't ride horses.

In the end, the remaining troops were as high as 35,000 people, and certain problems began to arise in the supply of grain and grass. Fortunately, Zhu Cheng had already filmed Ouyang Xing collecting donations in various towns other than Luoyang, launching propaganda, and more or less encouraging many businesses to donate, all of which added up to thousands of yuan.

The reason why these merchants will compromise is mainly because they are intimidated by Ouyang Xing. Their business is in Luoyang, and if the Yellow Turban Thieves attack them, they will naturally bear the brunt. Besides, if the Yellow Turban Thieves introduced the war into the Sili area, it would also be fatal to their business.

However, Ouyang Xing followed Zhu Cheng's instructions and found a medium-sized merchant to do a scene, and the merchant took the lead in donating the consistent money, saying that he would return it to him behind the scenes. But it also set a standard for donations, and the follow-up merchants did not have less than the usual money.

As far as one town is concerned, it has raised at least more than 300 donations, but it is a pity that this method cannot be played often. And if it weren't for Zhu Cheng being an officer and soldier, others might not pay attention to him.

Zhu Cheng even left Ouyang Xing behind to raise donations in farther places, and he wanted to squeeze everything that could be squeezed in the Sili area, so as to ensure the supply of grain and grass for Zhu Jun's troops. As for whether others will play his trick, he doesn't care, anyway, the people won't hate him when the time comes!

Sun Jian and the others were somewhat dissatisfied with the reduction of the army, but fortunately, Zhu Jun said that the troops he had just recruited would be supplemented under their command. Seeing that the old, weak, sick and disabled were replaced by sturdy soldiers, Sun Jian suddenly had no intention of objecting.

It's just a vague expression of a meaning: these guys are all landless tenants, to put it mildly, there is no guarantee of loyalty, Zhu Jun can really guarantee that this part of the people will go to the battlefield and will not defect to the Yellow Turban Thieves?

Zhu Jun is not without scruples in this regard, so he found Zhu Cheng, this trouble was found by him, and how to solve it should naturally be solved by him. Fortunately, Zhu Cheng had promised in advance that he would solve this problem, otherwise he would not dare to disarm.

"Commissar?" Zhu Jun heard this term for the first time.

"It is said that in the pre-Qin period, each team in the army would have a political commissar, whose full name was political commissar. The main responsibility of this position is to understand the ideological dynamics of the soldiers and solve some of their daily problems. At the same time, it also promotes some ideas that need to be propagated by superiors from the top down, and is also responsible for encouraging morale when necessary. Zhu Cheng put forward the concept of political commissar, and also linked the concept of political commissar to pre-Qin, which made the political commissar suddenly become tall.

Zhu Jun is also worthy of being an old soldier, and he immediately heard the usefulness of the political commissar. To put it simply, the political commissar is the tongue and eyes of the superiors, and it is of great significance for the superiors to control the lower level of the army.

"In that case, let's set up a political commissar! No one in the army has ever done this, so let you take the concurrent role of the virtuous nephew! Zhu Jun immediately agreed to the establishment of the political commissar, and even appointed Zhu as the chief political commissar. He did not deprive Zhu Cheng of his official position as a thief captain, in other words, Zhu Cheng could still command a team of about 1,000 people.

"Nephew commands!" Zhu Cheng knew that he couldn't be polite at this time, after all, in this era, no one should be able to play political propaganda to play him.

The only problem is that there is a bit of a shortage of candidates for political commissars, after all, this is a 35,000-strong army, and if 50 people need one political commissar, then the whole army needs more than 700 political commissars.

Fortunately, Sun Jian's gang of reckless men were worried that Huangfu Song would seize power, so they said that the political commissar was unreliable and they didn't need it, which made Zhu Cheng breathe a sigh of relief, after all, the manpower of the political commissar dropped from seven hundred to four hundred.

In the next ten days, Ouyang Xing was very busy, on the one hand, he led people to raise donations, on the other hand, he poached the men or apprentices of major merchants, and even selected some clever soldiers in the army as political commissars for emergency training.

Fortunately, Zhu Cheng expressed his importance for him and gave him the position of deputy political commissar, second only to him in the army. The latter also reciprocated the favor and officially pledged allegiance to Zhu Cheng. This has nothing to do with Zhu Cheng's personality charm, it's just that the contact during this time, especially the magic of the propaganda war, made Ouyang Xing see a new world, and it was Zhu Cheng who brought him into this world.

To say that Zhu Cheng is actually half of his mentor, in order to further understand the world, and a little bit to repay Zhu Cheng's kindness, he chose to gamble and serve Zhu Cheng!

Towards the end of the month, the army has been fully prepared, and the political commissars have been put in place. The basic battle formation has been properly drilled, and the rest can only be further improved on the battlefield through iron and blood.

"Let's go!" Lu Zhi had launched an attack on Jizhou more than ten days earlier, and Huangfu Song had also attacked towards Yuzhou five days earlier, and Zhu Jun knew that he had no way to delay.

"Fight!" Not to mention Zhu Chengcheng, he has been waiting for a long time for the historical battle of the Yellow Turban Rebellion!
