Chapter 90: Prohibition in the Army

After a long time, Zhao Liangsong hurried back.

Seeing that Zhao Liangsong took a piece of paper full of words, Yang He smiled and said, "This is the forbidden law in the army?" I'm not afraid of your jokes, I don't know much about these prohibitions, you read and I'll listen. ”

Zhao Liangsong said with a smile: "The forbidden law in the army is in charge of those people below, how can you control adults." ”

Yang He shook his head: "For the generals, they must lead by example, if I don't abide by the military rules, how can I manage the soldiers below?" ”

"That's what my lord said." Zhao Liangsong said.

Then he slowly recited the forbidden laws in the army.

There are a total of 17 prohibitions in the military:

One: Smell the drum and don't advance, smell the gold more than enough, the flag can't be raised, the flag can't be subdued, this is called rebelling against the army, and the offender will be beheaded.

After listening to Zhao Liangsong's reading, Yang He took the paper and read it carefully. Zhao Liangsong just read it, and it was not so difficult for Yang He to read those traditional Chinese characters again, but there were many sentences that he didn't understand the meaning.

After thinking silently for a while, Yang He said to Zhao Liangsong: "You explain and I'll listen." ”

Zhao Liangsong's face was embarrassed when he heard this: "My lord, the student is just a scholar, and he doesn't understand the forbidden laws in the army. ”

"I'll tell you." Black Cloud Crane smiled and walked into the tent and said.

"Second brother woke up?" Yang He said with a smile.

Hei Yunhe said with a smile: "I came out to relieve my hands, and when I saw Zhao Liangsong, I asked and learned that you were going to copy the forbidden laws in the army." I wondered in my heart, what did you do by copying the forbidden laws in the army, and when I asked, I learned that you were going to recruit village soldiers and train new troops, so I came over. ”

Yang He smiled: "I see, come, second brother, please take a seat." Liang Song, make a pot of hot tea for the second brother. ”

Heiyunhe waved his hand: "No, I'm thirsty, just drink this herbal tea." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the teapot and drank half a pot of tea.

Wiping his mouth, Hei Yunhe smiled: "I'll explain to you this forbidden law in the army, I'll talk about the first one first." ”

After a pause, Heiyunhe restrained his smile and said: "There is a system in the army, the drum enters the golden stop, and the usage of the drum and gong is very simple, one is to move forward, and the other is to stop." Flags are used for scheduling.

The generals in the army have a big flag, command the whole army, and each army has a side flag, the east is the green flag, the south is the red flag, the west is the white flag, the north is the black flag, and the center is the yellow flag, which is used to command all sides.

The central flag waved, the whole army gathered, the flag knelt when it was subdued, the flag was raised, the flag was rolled, and the flag was prostrate.

The flag is raised, the front army needs to be dressed urgently, the flag is ambushed, the flag is erected, and the flag is back.

In the war, the generals are summoned with soap flags, one soap flag, the team officers gather, the two soap flags, the sentinel officers (100 generals) gather, the three points soap flag battalion officers (500 generals) gather, one point and one move, 1,000 people will gather.

If you don't hear the drums, you can't stop hearing the gold, you can't raise the flag, and you can't press the flag, but it is against the military order and you will be beheaded. ”

Yang He nodded silently when he heard this.

On the surface, the Black Cloud Crane explained the Ritsu, but in fact he did tell himself how to command the troops.

For a long time, Yang He never understood how the ancients commanded the large corps to fight without communication tools, and after listening to Heiyunhe's explanation, Yang He realized that the knowledge of command was all on the military flag.

Then Hei Yunhe began to explain the following military regulations.

The remaining more than ten articles are basically about the rules of the army, which basically require soldiers not to make noise, not to spread rumors, not to harass the people, not to ** women, not to listen to military aircraft, not to steal property, and so on.

It can be said that there are military regulations in later generations, military regulations in ancient times, and military regulations in ancient times that are not in later generations, and there are also military regulations in ancient times, and the punishment methods in ancient times are much more severe than those in later generations.

In the end, Hei Yunhe said: "Just knowing that you abide by military discipline does not mean that soldiers are elite soldiers."

To become an elite soldier, you must know victory without arrogance, defeat without chaos, forget death when you hear the drum, become stronger when you are strong, fall into a desperate situation without being surprised, and know that you will die without humiliation. These six articles are also known as the six outlines of the warriors. ”

Shaking his head, Hei Yunhe sighed and said, "Everyone understands the truth, but it's a pity that it is not easy to train soldiers to this level. Do you know why you can't? ”

"Please also ask the second brother for advice." Yang He said busily.

Hei Yunhe said: "Because there is no money, the imperial court can't even afford to pay military salaries, how can you expect soldiers to fight to the death?" Historically, the elite troops have been absolutely adequately paid. If there is no salary, the soldiers will not even be able to eat, do you want them to be innocent? Dream on!

For example, the Qi family's army, although the Qi family's army itself is not very high, but there will be rich rewards after each battle. And there are people in the court of Qi Dashuai, and the military salary and reward have never been delayed.

Another example is the Liaodong Army under Li Chengliang, in order to motivate his subordinates to fight bravely, Li Chengliang rewarded his subordinates with a large amount of land in Liaodong, and Li Zongbing plundered the troops and ignored the laws of the army.

But for this person, the court not only did not punish him, but also kept sealing him.

Because Li Chengliang was able to win the battle, during the period when Li Zongbing was in charge of Liaodong, the Mongolian and Jurchen departments in Liaodong were all carrying their tails between their legs. ”

Yang He nodded: "In Guangning, I saw the stone workshop built by the imperial court to commend the merits of General Li Bing. ”

Black Cloud Crane continued: "Brother, do you know why I am telling you this? ”

"Second brother, you say." Yang He said.

Heiyunhe said: "The way of this world is to support the bold and starve to death the faint-hearted. The four of us brothers, the eldest brother and I and the third brother are all unproductive, so we dare to steal the vacancy of one hundred and eight people.

But brother, you are different, you are just a small Qianzong, you dare to capture the officers and soldiers of the guard, dare not to take the imperial history and the head of the military department in your eyes, your courage is better than Li Chengliang.

It's rare that you can still handle things well, not only did you not let people grasp the handle, but you got the appreciation of the imperial history, which is not something that ordinary people can do. ”

"The second brother has lifted me, and I'm nothing now." Yang He said with a smile.

Hei Yunhe said with a smile: "Although you, the head of Qian, have not been officially appointed by the imperial court, but the position of the commander of your personal guard battalion is inevitable in the imperial court, because this is your private soldier." And you are now the head of the regimental training army, and you have the power to recruit soldiers, and you can use this power to recruit soldiers. ”

After a pause, Hei Yunhe continued: "There is only one thing you lack now, that is, money, although the marshal left you a sum of silver, but during this period of time, you spend money like running water, according to this way of spending, I am afraid that this money will not last long." If this money is spent, what will you do to raise the soldiers? ”

Yang He nodded: "What the second brother said is true." ”

After a deep groan, Yang He turned his head to Zhao Liangsong and said, "You go out and watch, don't let people in, I have something to say to the second brother." ”

Zhao Liangsong nodded, saluted Hei Yunhe and Yang He, and turned around and walked out of the tent.

When Zhao Liangsong went out, Yang He said in a low voice: "Second brother, I won't tell you, I have already realized this problem." I have already set out to have people run casinos and brothels in Funing County, and no one else knows about this matter except Zhang Zhixian of Funing County and his relative Fan Shopkeeper. Second brother, I don't want to hide it from you, but the fewer people who know about this matter, the better. ”

Heiyunhe was overjoyed when he heard this: "Brother is amazing, I actually thought of it a long time ago." You are right not to tell us about this, and the fewer people who know about it, the better. ”

"Thank you for your understanding." Yang He said busily.

Heiyunhe waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "But I am afraid that I can't support the expenses of the army by running casinos and brothels, and if you want to make money, you have to find other ways." ”

"What is the way for the second brother?" Yang He asked hurriedly.

Heiyunhe shook his head: "I know that some merchants at the border pass have made a fortune from the horse market, and those merchants are all rich in money, but unfortunately we have nothing to do with the border pass." However, if my eldest brother and the third brother and I can go to the border to work, then the brother can also use the horse market to make money. ”

"To serve at the border? We don't have anyone in the court. Yang He frowned.

"I think that Liu Qi attaches great importance to his brother, why don't you ask him for help?" Black Cloud Crane Road.

Yang He shook his head: "Liu Qi is the Chu Party, the Chu Party is not powerful in the DPRK, I am afraid that it is useless for him to speak, the key is that there is no opportunity." ”

"Opportunity?" Black Cloud Crane muttered, "It's not that there is no opportunity at all. ”

"How?" Yang He asked hurriedly.

Heiyunhe said: "In the first month of this year, the Mongolian tribes of Hetao invaded Yan'an, Huanghuayu and other places, penetrated more than 600 miles, killed and captured tens of thousands of people, the governor Zhang Zhihou, and the general soldier Du Wenhuan hid and did not report, and was impeached, and now I don't know what the situation is. ”
