Chapter 439: White Pole Soldiers

A burst of words made the elegant Qin Liang yù cry.

Yang Gengai saw the courage and will of the white pole soldiers from a pile of words; In those shriveled words, I saw the cruelty of the blood-spattered battlefield; On those beautiful words, there was a smell of blood; Reading between the lines of the fixed there, I saw active warriors holding spears to meet the enemy.

If it weren't for himself becoming the emperor, if it wasn't for losing the war, he would lose his life, and his whole family would be ruined, Yang Reform would never look for a good way to "cure the disease and save people" in this pile of dry and boring papers, and he would not force himself to see these boring words, nor would he force himself to see through the surface of these words to see through the things behind the words.

Seeing through the things behind these boring words, and seeing through the truth covered by these boring words, Yang Reform's heart, as he said, when he saw this and thought of this, the blood of his whole body was boiling.

As a white pole soldier with a "price-to-price ratio" quite high, he did not cause his combat power to be "cheap" because of his "cheapness", and did not retreat because the enemy was strong, and this cheap army had combat power that was not "cheap".

Historically, this army, which is not "cheap" in combat power, is quite "cheap", so cheap that it not only requires the commander to mobilize troops and organize logistics supplies by himself, but also needs to prepare cotton clothes for the winter; So cheap that the main weapon is just a spear; It is so cheap that in order to fight a war, it is necessary to travel thousands of miles and walk for half a year to reach the ...... of the battlefield. These dry words on the paper, if they are connected one by one, are all fresh lives, perseverance and unyielding written in blood.

Even such a "cheap" army, even if it has not "cheap" combat power, it still failed to save the fate of the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and Yang Reform also verified the truth of the sentence from between the lines, "There is no god-like opponent, only pig-like teammates." "The history of the Ming Chongzhen Dynasty is a history of the continuous emergence of "pig-like teammates", even if there are such cheap, but extraordinary combat power troops, they will also be overwhelmed by pig-like teammates.

Such a cheap pikeman, but has a number of records in the Ming Dynasty, if the late Ming Dynasty court in the "pig friends" can be a little less, can give these "cheap" pikemen a little bit of space, this "cheap" pikemen burst out of the power, can definitely rewrite the existence of history. It's a pity that these cheap pikemen, in the eyes of the "pig friends" in the late Ming Dynasty, are not worth mentioning at all, and they will not give the slightest bit of lù out of their fingers to these "cheap" white pole soldiers.

If Chongzhen in history can face up to these cheap "white pole soldiers" a little bit and tilt the limited resources towards these white pole soldiers, history may not be the original appearance.

Every time Yang Reform thought of this, he could only look up to the sky and sigh: "I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, I'm afraid of pig-like teammates." "At the end of the Ming Dynasty, when pig friends were rampant, even if he opened the golden finger of the "Spear Party" that only the protagonist had to cross xiǎo, and met a pig-like teammate, it was no problem.

After the blood boiled again, Yang Reform gradually cooled down. looked at Qin Liang, who was still crying silently, and said, "It's all I who caused the old lady to cry, and I really shouldn't mention those sad things." Yang Gai sighed and shouted for Qin Liang in history and the "white pole soldiers" in history who were not worth it; Be more vigilant against those "pig friends".

"Your Majesty forgives the sins, the minister is out of shape......" Qin Liang yù was moved by the emperor's words, and the sour vinegar in his heart was moved, and the tears couldn't stop falling, and they all said that the man didn't flick when he had tears, this NV general who led the soldiers to fight and had a good record, even if he was strong, how could he not cry when he was sad?

"I attach great importance to the old lady and the white pole soldiers, and I also understand the grievances and injustices suffered by the old lady and the white pole soldiers,...... From now on, I will never make the old lady sad again, and I will never let the white pole soldiers fight the enemy with a spear, from now on, guns, horses, even warships, logistics supplies, salaries, pensions, etc., I will treat everyone equally, for example, compared to the new army, what does the new army have, I will not short the white pole soldiers...... "Yang Reform has seen the history of Qin Liang and the white pole soldiers, so he sighed like this, said such words, in his words, there is a little bit for Qin Liang, for the white pole soldiers are not worth it, there is a sense of for Qin Liang, the white pole soldiers are aggrieved, Evaluating Qin Liang Yù, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is loyal to the country, compared to it, Qin Liang Yù and Yue Fei have many comparables, similarities, and even in some aspects, they are better than Yue Fei, but as nvxìng, they are not as respected as Yue Fei. ,

As soon as the emperor's words came out, Sun Chengzong and Qin Liang each had their own feelings.

Sun Chengzong was surprised, why did the emperor suddenly say such an old-fashioned thing? It seems that he has an extremely clear understanding of the past of Qin Liang and the white pole soldiers, so much so that he said it in a conclusive tone, this kind of surprising words really surprised Sun Chengzong, and the emperor's admiration for Qin Liang and the white pole soldiers has been far away from Mangui and Zhao Shujiao.

Qin Liangyù's heart was already a jar of mixed tastes, how many years of sadness, how many years of suffering, and how many years of grievances were all broken and poured into his heart in the emperor's words. Who can I say to these sadness, pain, and grievances? Tell me? I could only swallow it in my stomach, but I didn't expect that there would be such a day when it was all broken.

"Your Majesty knows what to do, and the minister can only repay His Majesty with his liver and brain, and he will die without regret......" Qin Liang gradually collected his tears, and said word by word, if he could really arm the white pole soldiers with muskets, cannons, horses, and even warships as the emperor said, she dared to say that she would go anywhere in the world, she was fearless, and after speaking, she performed a serious bow again.

"Old lady, please hurry up" Yang reformed himself and signaled Wang Chengen again and again, Wang Chengen got the emperor's eyes, hurriedly went over, and picked up Qin Liang.

As I said, Qin Liang's favorability towards the emperor has risen several notches again, and he has been so valued and trusted by the emperor, what are you hesitating about? What are you afraid of? Originally, there was some hesitation, some doubt, and some vacillation, but this time, it completely fell to the emperor's side and became a firm imperial party.

……

"My idea is to expand into a soldier who can fight with Dongyu in the field on the basis of the white pole soldiers, and dare not say that he will win, at least he must support it without collapsing, and this will be fine......" Yang's reform and sincere attitude moved Qin Liang yù, and got Qin Liang's support, and the next step is to transform this cheap army, take his bravery, perseverance and blood, and supplement his shortcomings, then, this army will be an invincible and invincible army.

"Your Majesty's order is from the ......" Qin Liang yù is very relieved of the emperor's actions in the military affairs, judging from the situation of this Northern War, the emperor is not a fool who doesn't understand anything, and her white pole soldiers, really except for an ash pole, the rest is a life, so he does not object to the emperor to do it to his own people.

"Hehe, the old lady still listens to me first......" Yang Reform was quite happy to persuade and gather Qin Liang.

"Your Majesty, please show me ......," Qin Liang said.

"In the future, there will be no such thing as a new field army formed with the white pole soldiers as the backbone, and it will be a new ......army in the future," Yang Gai said according to his own ideas.

"......" Qin Liang yù didn't say anything, the reason why her white pole soldiers are called white pole soldiers is because she can't take out anything decent except for an ash pole, she can't equip her white pole soldiers with horses, let alone muskets and cannons, she can't afford to equip them, and now, if she doesn't rely on an ash pole to fight, she doesn't use the name "white pole soldier" with "helplessness", it's nothing.

“…… Since it is a new army, everything in the future will be according to the new army, treatment, training, equipment, weapons, etc., the same will not be ......, my requirements for the new army are quite strict, and the training of the new army is also quite hard, this point, the old lady may have to say hello to the soldiers in advance. Yang Gai said.

"Your Majesty, the last thing the white pole soldiers are afraid of is hardship, they followed the ministers to the capital division, a little bitterness, they can bear it." Qin Liang had heard that the training of the new army was very hard, but she didn't care, her white pole soldiers walked from Sichuan to Beijing, and they walked for half a year, if you want to say that you are afraid of hardship, is this possible?

"If you are not afraid of hardship, then it is good that the salary of the new army is three taels of silver per month, but it is not a one-time payment, generally only thirty percent of the money in the hands of the soldiers, for one part, and the other ten percent is sent to the family, and one copy is kept by me here, and I will make up some silver money in the future, so that the soldiers can go home in a beautiful manner, buy a few acres of land, or be able to do some xiǎo trading, so that the soldiers will not work for me when they are young, and they will have nothing to rely on when they are old, I hope the old lady can understand." Yang Gai began to explain the treatment of the new army again.

Qin Liang thought about it slightly, and didn't think too much about it, even if he could only get three percent of it, it was terrible, he really took one or two silver a month, if there was such treatment, how many soldiers the emperor wanted, she could recruit as many soldiers as she could from her hometown, and ensure that all of them were white pole soldiers who were not afraid of death and dared to fight to the death, of course, she didn't say this, just said: "The minister understands." ”,

"The reason for doing this, I feel that it is not easy for parents to raise their sons so big, their sons are soldiers for me, serve me, work hard, and take out part of my son's salary and salary to support the elderly and support the family, it is also a matter of course, benevolence and filial piety, I hope that my soldiers will not forget, keep in mind, that kind of person without a king and father, my new army does not need him......" Qin Liang did not say anything, but Yang Reform still explained by himself.

"I understand." Qin Liang didn't say anything, just thought in her heart, if you want to say benevolence and filial piety, her subordinates will not accept that kind of unkind and unfilial things, if the emperor gives her subordinates thirty percent, and then thirty percent to the family, I am afraid that some people who take care of the family will send sixty percent to the family, two taels of silver a month, this price, she dares to guarantee that the emperor wants as many qualified white pole soldiers, as many qualified white pole soldiers, the poverty of Shizhu is not a Beijing division, not a big place people can think of, let alone death, if they want to eat people, they are also willing, there are 100,000 white pole soldiers, she dared to say that she pushed the Dongyu, why did the emperor go so hard to compete with the Dongyu? Of course, this is also thought about in the heart, and it will not be said.

"......, in terms of training, we must accept the unified training of the new army, which involves the issue of unified command and operation, and the Dongyu can invest tens of thousands of attacks on one point and one surface at a time, so I hope that the whole army will receive the same training, and only if there is a loss at a certain point, can reinforcements be dispatched in time, and only then can it be quickly run-in, so that there will be no problems of cohesion due to uneven training......," Yang Gai said.

"Minister's report." At this point, Qin Liang understands that the reason why the white pole soldiers under her command are white pole soldiers is because the training they receive is different from others, and every time they replenish their troops, they need to be replenished by the stone pillar of their hometown, and generally people elsewhere are not suitable for the playing style of the white pole soldiers at all.

“…… Speaking of training, the new army has always been live-fire training, and the white pole soldiers will soon master the musket shè fire, as for the cannons, I will be equipped with the necessary cannons, mules and horses, and vans, these are not a problem, if the adaptation of the white pole soldiers is strong, or if necessary, I may be equipped with battleships, but it is not certain that ......, with these new equipment, and then equip the white pole soldiers with a bayonet to fight, I think, the white pole soldiers will definitely be invincible in the world...... "Speaking of bayonets, Yang Reform is a little YY, The corners of the mouth inadvertently cracked, to this day, there is no suitable steel to manufacture bayonets on a large scale, the idea of equipping muskets with bayonets, is still a little early, but, with the courage and will of the white pole soldiers, really equipped the white pole soldiers with muskets and bayonets, Yang Gai believes that bulldozing the boar skin is really no problem.

"Your Majesty Thank You" Qin Liang sighed, the emperor is really willing, the reason why her soldiers are called white pole soldiers is because she has no money, she can't afford to buy muskets, and she can't afford to use them, so she can only be armed with the cheapest spears, and now I heard that it is not only armed muskets, cannons, but also live ammunition training, Qin Liang yù felt that a long string of silver kept flying over his head, and the emperor was rich, and he really didn't blow it.

“…… Also, my new army, the requirement is that everyone is literate, my new army, there is a gentleman who is responsible for teaching, and those who are illiterate cannot be like the new army, even if they join the new army, they cannot be promoted, this point, the old lady must make it clear to the soldiers......" Yang Gai said again.

"......" Qin Liang yù knew this strange rule of the new army, and the whole army had to be literate, that is to say, all of a sudden, between the poor mountains and bad waters of her stone pillar, it would not be long before there would be 10,000 literate people ......, even though Qin Liang had heard of this rule before, but he still felt incredible.

Looking at Qin Liang's surprised and puzzled expression, Yang Gai smiled and said, "The old lady doesn't understand why I would ask for this? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is indeed a little suspicious." Qin Liang also said bluntly, the emperor is very talkative and trusts himself, so there is no need to be too angry.

“…… Hehe, in fact, it's also simple, the whole army of the new army, must be able to understand my combat intentions, must be able to carry out my orders, even if the last person fights, it is still a seed of the new army, it can still germinate, and grow into a towering tree again, so, literacy, is a must, in fact, I want to give every soldier a chance to improve, I hope that every soldier can be a general, hehe, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general, is not a good soldier, since he wants to be a general, literacy is a must, I don't want to convey combat orders, When he gave the order, he delayed the fighter because he was illiterate,......" Yang Gai said with a smile, this is what he said to Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao before, and now he said it again to Qin Liang. ,

"The minister understands......" Qin Liang yù quite agrees with the emperor's statement, the only thing is that the whole army is literate, so how much extra expense will it cost? If it's not the emperor, who can afford it? She doesn't even have the money to equip weapons, she can only nòng root ash poles, where is there spare money to ask sir? Pen, ink, paper, oil, so don't you need money?

Yang Gengai thought for a while, and said mysteriously: "...... In fact, the core meaning of me is that in the future, if the soldiers are discharged from the army, if they are literate, they will become a rich man at home in the future, and they will not be deceived by others, and they will only be able to take it if they become a squire or something in the township, right? I don't want my soldiers to be poor soldiers who are looked down on all the time, I hope that my soldiers can have a good ...... after selling their lives to me, hehehe, it can be regarded as a little bit of my heart, this point, the old lady don't talk about it everywhere......" Yang Gai said with a smile. Of course, this remark also said to Man Gui that to the vast number of rural areas across the country, it is undoubtedly a big step to make a big move, and it is necessary to lay out it as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty is really merciful, the soldiers must be grateful to Dai De and desperately serve Your Majesty......" Qin Liang said with emotion, Qin Liang didn't agree with the emperor's statement, and retired from the army? The old pawn is the core of an army, there are not enough old pawns to suppress the formation, and the recruits cannot go into battle at all, and the emperor actually has the idea of letting the old pawn retire from the army, which is really "unexpected", this kind of idea, maybe only the emperor can think of it......

"Okay, I've also delayed the old lady for a lot of time, the old lady has just entered Beijing, and she hasn't had time to rest, so I won't say much, anyway, the coming day is long, the old lady doesn't understand anything, you can ask Master Sun, and I won't be verbose here......" Yang Reform was about to end the conversation, and this time he recruited Qin Liang and the white pole soldiers, which was quite smooth.

"The minister retires......" Qin Liang yù was ready to retire.

"Wait,...... Big companion, reward ......," Yang Gai said to Wang Chengen.

"Obey, Your Majesty ......" Wang Chengen agreed with a smile, and then began to sing.

“…… Emperor Daming...... Reward...... Governor of the Governor, Chief Officer...... Qin Liang yù, an imperial clairvoyant mirror, an imperial handcuff, an imperial saber, two imperial poems, two ......, two silver coins, and a hundred brocade horses......" Wang Chengen sang in a subdued voice as high as possible, singing the emperor's reward to Qin Liang. [Luàn wrote, don't take this scene seriously. 】

"Minister's decree, thank you Your Majesty Longen" Qin Liang yù hurriedly thanked for the clairvoyant mirror, handcuffs, sabers, silver, brocade, these are all easy to understand, but there is one more imperial poem, what is this? It was the first time Qin Liang had heard that the emperor had given imperial poems to others......

After Qin Liang finished thanking him, Yang Reform said again: "This is all for you personally, in addition, I will send you another 100,000 silver coins as a reward for you to raise troops to defend the Jingshi, and these money will be distributed to the soldiers,...... Don't be in a hurry to excuse yourself, Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao have both of them, and the old lady is no exception, I hope that the old lady and the white pole soldiers will immediately devote themselves to the large-scale military training after a short rest......" Yang Reform stopped Qin Liang's resignation and said.

Qin Liang yù was so moved that he couldn't do it, the emperor was really generous, and he was really a trustworthy person, and he thanked him again: "The minister's order, thank you" No matter how many words there are, the rest can only be proved by action.

……

Qin Liang yù got out of the platform, and then he had time to open the mysterious "imperial poem". I saw that it was written in slightly childish strokes:

"Learn the Xichuan Eight Formations, and the mandarin duck holds the talisman in his sleeve. The origin of women is willing to accept it, why should the general be a husband. ”

"The Shu brocade robe is self-cut, and the peach huā immediately asks for a long tassel. How many strange men in the world, who are willing to travel thousands of miles on the battlefield. ”

[Wordy, the above two poems were written by Chongzhen for Qin Liang Yù in history, in order to highlight Qin Liang Yù's contributions, which is quite rare, as one of the plots, it is still reflected, originally four poems, two of them were selected, and it is possible in the future, and then the other two will be put up. 】

[Again, the golden finger of the Phalangist, the Ming Dynasty has a realistic version, I have to say that the Ming Dynasty was destroyed in the hands of the "pig friends". No matter how poor you are, no matter how much money you have, you can't even afford to be armed with pikemen, right? 】
