Chapter 210: The elite soldiers of the imperial court asked for a monthly pass
Under the June sun, the banks of the Sichuan River seemed to be turned into a stove, and there was not a single breeze. Even the flags in the army no longer fluttered, but hung weakly.
This kind of weather, is sitting in the shade of the tree with a fan to fan all have to sweat for a while, or an hour, the whole person is oily, this is really the worst climate in Sichuan in a year.
Growing up in the Northland since childhood, Wang Weixian, Shi Quan and Shi Bin, who are accustomed to the cool climate, really miss their hometown at this time, the cool climate of their hometown, the pleasant scenery of their hometown, the wives and children of their hometown, and the Mongolian Daru Huachi in their hometown...... However, this beautiful traitor life can only appear in their dreams now. Now they are far from home, but close to hell, or already in hell!
"Smack!"
With a crisp sound, Wang Weixian, the eldest son of the Gongchang Wang family, felt a sharp pain in his back, numb and spicy, this is what it feels like to be whipped!
"Pull hard! Haven't you eaten enough? Pull hard! A fierce voice roared, "If you can't finish these 25 miles today, no one is allowed to eat!" ”
What to pull? Pull the fiber!
The son of the dignified Gongchang Wang family and the Yongqing historian, the first-class person in the third-class Han in the north, is now pulling fiber! Together with the captured more than 4,000 Han soldiers and new attached soldiers, shirtless, with tears in their eyes, they pulled the ropes with all their strength, dragged the vehicles and boats of the Perak Navy, and moved forward step by step.
Behind them, Zhang Hongfan was carrying a leather whip and carrying a dozen Thunderbolt Sailor Army righteous instructors who were also from the Northland as supervisors. Whoever walks slower will be beaten, and he will not be soft at all! In addition to beating people, Zhang Hongfan and others also have a mission. It's to brainwash these Northland pawns!
In fact, letting these Mongol Han troops and new annexed troops descend to pull fiber is part of the brainwashing! Brainwashing is not only preaching and probation, punishment is also necessary! Because making the audience feel scared is also a necessary condition for the success of brainwashing. Just like the later revolutionary army, from time to time to suppress and arrest spies, it was just to make the revolutionary fighters feel pressure all the time. Only when there is pressure will we actively demand progress, so that it is easy to achieve an atmosphere in which everyone makes progress and everyone moves closer to the organization.
This organization should make people feel both warm and intimidated! If only there was warmth and no fear. Then the lessons of the later Soviet Fatherland are also very profound...... Therefore, Chen Dexing has always created all kinds of tension in the army. Let the generals below, especially the Northland reformers, feel some pressure.
At present, these captured Han soldiers and new attached soldiers are not part of the Thunderbolt Navy-they are not "their own people", but traitors who can be saved. Now pull the fiber well, and show it well. When he arrived in Fuzhou, he was saved according to the table. It is necessary to make them feel that this salvation is not easy to come by, so that they will cherish it more, so that it is easy to brainwash.
As for the big traitors like Wang Weixian, Shi Quan, and Shi Bin, Chen Dexing is also willing to give them a way out -- according to Chen Dexing's words, "A person's background cannot be chosen, but a person's path can be chosen." Wang, Shi and others were born in a traitor family, and they were instilled with wrong ideas by their traitor father since they were children, so they committed the heinous crime of betraying the nation.
But...... The opportunity to atone for their sins and turn over is still to be given, as long as they repent. Embarking on the road of fighting for the nation, they are still good sons of the Han nation!
Of course, if they don't want to rehabilitate. Present now! The Thunderbolt Army has prepared a pointed wooden tree for the hardcore traitor - crucified alive!
"Spare me, I don't dare anymore!"
"Kill me, okay......"
"Chen Dexing, you bastard, you abuse lynching!"
This is the scream of the man who was nailed to the wooden tree! Pleading! In the abuse! They were all officers of the Han army and the newly annexed army who tried to escape, and there were also a few generals of the former Song army who took the lead in surrendering to the Mongols. Including Yao De, the commander of the Chengdu Prefecture, and Zhang Wei, the general. Now they were all stripped of their clothes and nailed to the wooden tsubaki, the tip of which was inserted through their chrysanthemum door. Under the effect of their body weight, slowly advance to their internal organs!
'It's so brutal! Good thing I didn't run with them last night! I heard screams. Look at the wooden rafts erected one by one on the banks of the Yangtze River, as well as the living people inserted on the wooden rafts. The chrysanthemums of Shi Quan, Shi Bin and Wang Weixian are just twitching! The strength of fiber pulling is also a little greater......
……
"Qingzhi, why are you torturing them like this?"
In the cabin of the car and ship that Shi Quan, Shi Bin and Wang Weixian were dragging by them, Chen Dexing and Zhang Shijie, both dressed in sweat coats and shaking big pu fans, sat next to a square table covered with sheepskin maps.
After listening to Zhang Shijie's question, Chen Dexing just shook his head, "It's just a good example!" Later, when I arrived in the Northland, such things were indispensable. ”
"Kill one?" Zhang Shijie looked at the wooden rafters lined up on the beach of the Yangtze River outside the window, there were always dozens of them, and there was a screaming living dead on each one. "Who can you show if you kill in this place?"
"Show the soldiers of the Mongol Han army and the newly annexed army, and show the generals in my Thunderbolt Army!" Chen Dexing's tone was cold, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter, not dozens of lives.
"Why?" Zhang Shijie still didn't understand, "Are they unwilling to surrender?" ”
How is this possible? They weren't Mongols, they were just Han Chinese who were in it for money or forced to work for the Mongols.
Chen Dexing sneered: "Surrender is just the beginning, if they want to truly become a strong force that wins all battles, they must transform here!" ”
He pointed to his head: "Only when this place changes, they will not be afraid of death, not afraid of hardship, and will not ask for money so much." And to change here, you have to start with fear...... Afraid of me, afraid of the righteous instructors of the Thunderbolt Army! ”
Zhang Shijie's brows furrowed tightly, he had already seen how the soldiers of the Thunderbolt Army fought, they were really not afraid of death, hardship, and money! The defense of Dazhai in Nantuochang was fought so hard, and I didn't see the officers of the Thunderbolt Navy take out a basket of copper coins!
As for his more than 1,000 people, they all had to rely on cash to survive.
And now, braving such a scorching sun march, the Thunderbolt Navy was stunned that no one complained, let alone a penny reward. And Zhang Shijie's people, they were reluctant to go on the road after each person gave the usual reward of copper coins......
Of course, Chen Dexing's Perak Army was not completely unpaid, but also had official positions, assignments, land, full salaries, and high-class food (for soldiers). Moreover, the reward for meritorious deeds is quite fair, and it is publicly evaluated by the commanders, adjutants, and righteous instructors of each unit in front of the soldiers.
However, there is absolutely no such thing as bargaining between subordinates and superiors in the Perak Army-this is the army, and there is no need for a trade union-and the training and marching in peacetime, no matter how hard and tiring it is, there is no additional reward.
It is impossible for an army or an organization, even if it is a revolutionary army or a revolutionary organization, to be completely unremunerative and not to talk about gains and losses. Even the early leaders of the middle g also have certain special treatment. But an army must not only talk about money, but without ideals and a sense of honor!
And the official army of the Great Song Dynasty is obviously such an army that has no ideals, no honor, and only knows how to die for money! If the Great Song official family had enough money, he could continue to fight the Mongols until the Mongols were brought down. But once the money of the imperial court was spent, the officials and troops of the Great Song Dynasty could not fight, and they could only wait for destruction.
And what Chen Dexing wants is definitely not an army like the Great Song Dynasty official army.
"Brother Shijie, you also know what kind of team my Thunderbolt Navy is." Chen Dexing looked at Zhang Shijie seriously, "How is it?" Would you like to join? Added...... To change, to become like us, no exceptions! ”
Exceptions cannot be made! Chen Dexing knows this very well, there will be a second, third, and even nth exception, and sooner or later the discipline and atmosphere unique to the Thunderbolt Navy will disappear! Combat effectiveness will also plummet!
Historically, the biggest difference between China's GCD and KMT in the construction of armed forces is that the former basically cannot tolerate the armed warlords, and will completely transform the troops that have taken refuge in them to make them consistent with other revolutionary armies. The latter is a hodgepodge of all armies, and there is no good way to reform, so in the end there are many factions, mutual restraints, and strict internal friction.
Chen Dexing looked at Zhang Shijie quietly, and after a while, he heard a sigh from the other party: "Qingzhi, it seems that you will not hand over the military power...... Did I guess right? ”
Chen Dexing smiled: "I don't pay it, and no one can take it away!" ”
"What about the Lu family?"
Chen Dexing sneered: "Can Lu Wende kill the Mongolian Great Khan?" Can you defeat 100,000 Mongol soldiers? ”
Zhang Shijie was silent, "So where does Brother Qing want to go?" ”
"Drink Ma Hanhai, seal the wolf living in the mountain, the big river in the west, and pray for the county!"
Hearing this, Zhang Shijie couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart anymore, stood up suddenly, and sat down slowly: "Qingzhi, it's Song now, not Han ......"
Chen Dexing laughed and stretched out two fingers: "I have 20,000 soldiers, which is enough to stretch the ambition in my chest, Brother Shijie is willing to be of the same heart with me?" ”
20,000 ordinary Song troops are not a big capital at all, and it is difficult to even gain a foothold in the north. However, the 20,000 Han nationalist fighters who have been brainwashed and equipped with advanced firearms are an incredible force, and they are also a spark for national rejuvenation.
Zhang Shijie, who has already seen the combat effectiveness of the Thunderbolt Water Army, of course knows that the other party is not talking, but it is really possible. And he also knew that if he wanted to return to the north and return to his hometown, he could only follow Chen Dexing.
He took a few deep breaths and calmed down, "Isn't it more than 1,200 people, it's nothing...... It's just that some old brothers may not be able to stand the rules of the Thunderbolt Army. ”
Chen Dexing smiled and clapped his hands: "I'll give them heads, Mongolian Tartar heads, and let them be promoted to become officials elsewhere." (To be continued) R580
