Chapter 237: Yue Fei, Huai Yin, and Ming Military Discipline
Yao sighed and stared at Yue Fei with a pair of very melancholy eyes, and said: "The Khitan people have been peeking at the Central Plains for a hundred years, but after all, they have not settled in the Central Plains, and the Jurchen Tartars have wiped out the strong Khitans in a short period of time, and then they have taken a few places in my Central Plains lightly, and I am really worried that the day of danger of my Great Song Dynasty has come!" ”
Yue Fei looked at his mother, who was a little worried about the country and the people, and couldn't help but whisper: "Mother, don't worry, Pengju will definitely serve the country loyally and protect my Huaxia clan from any harm!" ”
Yao shook his head and said: "Pengju, remember, no matter how high your skills are, no matter how right your opinion is, you are just a courtier, everything depends on the emperor's intentions, whether the Great Song Dynasty is prosperous or perishable, the most important thing is to see what kind of person the king of the Great Song Dynasty is!" ”
Yue Fei was silent, just quietly listening to his mother Yao's teachings.
Yao continued, "And you are only doing your best to practice the king's will! ”
Yue Fei was stunned for a moment, and then said softly: "Mother, if the emperor blindly sues for peace or surrenders directly, then what should I do?" ”
Mother-in-law Yao was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Yue Fei, and said with a smile: "Then you can find another descendant of the Zhao family to assist them in raising the banner of Zhongxing Great Song!" ”
Yue Fei nodded, then he was silent.
At this time, there was a sound of roosters crowing in the village, and the mother-in-law Yao smiled: "Pengju, I'm going to Tokyo here, I don't know how many girls I have to fight to the death." So you have to remember to protect yourself no matter what happens. After all, there are still virtuous Yunhui and two children who need their father's skills at home! ”
Yue Fei fell to his knees. Kowtowed to Yao who was sitting on the stone bench and said, "Mother, don't worry, Pengju will definitely kill the enemy bravely on the battlefield!" ”
Yao nodded with some relief, and actually waved his hand to signal that Yue Fei could go.
Yue Fei didn't say much, looked towards Liu Yunhui's west wing, and saw that the candlelight inside had been extinguished, he couldn't help but shake his head with some regret, and directly got up and led the white horse and walked out of the courtyard.
Yue Fei originally wanted to shout a few times towards the west wing, but because several children were already asleep. Yue Fei still had to wave his hand towards the West Wing in the night.
Liu Yunhui, who was lying on the window in the dark, looked out at the torn paper on the bed, and found that her husband Yue Fei and Yue Pengju were waving to her side, Liu Yunhui actually sneered, and said softly to herself: "It seems that Fei Ge is really concerned about Yun Hui, Fei Ge come back quickly, Yun Hui will definitely stay in Huaiyin and wait for Fei Ge to come here!" ”
It's a pity that Yue Fei couldn't hear the call in Liu Yunhui's heart, and Yue Fei rushed out of Yuejiazhuang on horseback and headed directly towards Xiangzhou City.
Niu Gao and the others have already collected a lot of strong men outside Li Chun's mansion at this moment. Niu Gao's mouth smiled a little crookedly: "Hahaha, it's really enjoyable, on the first day of being a soldier, Lao Tzu became a captain." This is really the best thing in the world! ”
Niu Gao's words made Wang Gui on the side listen to it, and he couldn't help touching Niu Gao with his elbow. He whispered: "Brother Niu, this is not a beautiful thing, we can't let these recruits know our details!" “
Niu Gao's eyes rolled, and he naturally understood that Wang Gui's words were very reasonable, and couldn't help nodding his head again and again: "Yes, yes, Lao Niu knows!" “
Wang Gui saw Niu Gao so obedient, and couldn't help but secretly laugh: "Speaking of which, this Niu brother also has a time to listen to words!" “
Just when Wang Gui looked at Niu Gao and felt funny, Zhang Xian got in front of Wang Gui and muttered, "Dude, why hasn't the eldest brother come back yet?" “
Wang Gui's face showed a weird smile: "Big brother won't delay things, it's just that it's useless for you kid to inquire about something, don't you want to think about the big brother going back this time, will our Yunhui sister-in-law spare him?" “
When Zhang Xian heard this, he actually said with a wicked smile on his face: "Yes, think about it, only a character like Brother Yue is worthy of a woman as beautiful as Yun Hui's sister-in-law!" “
Wang Gui nodded, then suddenly remembered something, glanced at Zhang Xian fiercely and said: "I said what are you fooling around, how many soldiers have you recruited there, don't hurry up, the eldest brother's goal is to recruit another 500 people in Huaiyin, don't drag the back of the brothers!" ”
Zhang Xian smiled proudly, but he didn't answer Wang Gui's words, and walked directly to his place to recruit recruits.
Niu Gao looked at Zhang Xian's back and shook his head and said, "This little white face really doesn't know how many people this kid has recruited, Lao Niu can't let this kid win Lao Tzu!" Thinking of this, Niu Gao actually sent soldiers directly to the road to intercept the people who wanted to serve as soldiers in Zhang Xian and Tang Huai.
For a while, Niu Gao and the other four people competed with each other in order to be able to make their deployed troops more. The four of them seemed to have become enemies with a common hatred, and when they saw the people who wanted to join the army, they thought like flies and saw blood.
When Yue Fei rode his horse into Xiangzhou City, as soon as he pulled his horse, he saw that in the place where the torches were rising, many people were shaking in a noisy manner, Yue Fei was startled, and immediately threw the stirrup off the saddle and walked forward, this look didn't matter, so Yue Fei was angry.
I saw that many recruits were gathered outside, and in the center of the circle were Niu Gao, who was shirtless, and Zhang Xian, who was dressed in brocade, and the two of them had obviously gone through a fight. They were all a little out of breath.
Just look at Niu Gao's eyes wide: "Zhang Xian, you little white face, today is either you lose or I win, do you believe it or not?" “
"Whew!" Zhang Xian's fair face also popped up with green tendons, and he showed anger on his face: "Old Niu, don't deceive yourself, isn't it the same thing that I lose and you win?" “
"Haha, Zhang Xian, don't you know that you will definitely lose, and I will definitely win?"
When Zhang Xian heard this, his face turned completely red: "Niu Gao, you donkey, how did your grandmother make your father, how did you trap your grandfather?" ”
Niu Gao didn't say much, but pounced on Zhang Xian together, Zhang Xian smiled coldly: "Brute Niu, can you pounce on me?" He said. Zhang Xian shook his body violently. Flashed the cow gao, who pounced like a leopard, to the side. Niu Gao almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Niu Gao stopped his steps in time and shouted: 'Zhang Xian, can you play?' “
Zhang Xian stood aside, but he didn't speak.
Niu Gao suddenly realized that something was wrong, and couldn't help but turn around and look intently, and saw that Huo Ran was standing in the circle and looking at Zhang Xian and himself coldly.
Niu Gao gasped, he naturally saw that this person was no one else. It was his eldest brother Yue Fei, who couldn't help but bow his head and wait for Yue Fei's reprimand.
Yue Fei looked at Niu Gao and Zhang Xian's appearance, and couldn't help but shake his head and sighed lightly: "You two don't hurry up and gather the team, count the number of people, I will report to General Zong on our recruitment situation in half an hour!" “
Niu Gao and Zhang Xian immediately returned to their respective recruiting points with their respective soldiers as if they had been amnestied, and immediately began the work of lining up for points.
Yue Fei waited for everyone to disperse, only then did he find Wang Gui and Tang Huai standing in the crowd, Yue Fei waved his hand with a blushing face and signaled the two of them to come over, Wang Gui and Tang Huai looked at each other, knowing that this level was not easy. But he could only walk to Yue Fei next to him.
Yue Fei tried hard to make his face gentle: "Wang Gui, what's the matter with the two of you?" ‘
Wang Gui smiled: "It's not a big deal. In order to compete for a soldier, the two made a bet, and whoever wins the soldier will be whoever! ”
Yue Fei looked at the smiling Wang Guiyan and said, "Don't you persuade you?" ”
Wang Gui said with a smile: "Brother Niu is a little irritable, and when he sees that Zhang Xian has recruited more soldiers, he will be furious!" ”
Yue Fei looked at Wang Gui with a kind face, and really didn't know what to say to Wang Gui, he looked at Tang Huaiyan and said, "What about you?" ”
Tang Huai replied even more simply: "It's none of my business!" ”
Yue Fei seemed to realize that his four brothers were really interesting, Yue Fei waved his hand and said, "You guys should also go back to the whole team!" ”
After the two left, Yue Fei stood alone but fell into deep thought. Yue Fei understands very well that this army composed of Xiangzhou people will be the starting point of his career, and whether he can lead this team of nearly 1,000 people well is really the key to the success of his horse career.
Yue Fei looked up at the waning moon in the night sky for a long time, he knew that he had to hold the charter, otherwise these brothers of his really didn't know what kind of "surprise" they would bring to him.
When Yue Fei was pondering, Zhang Xian ran to Yue Fei with his soldiers, and Zhang Xian shouted loudly: "Big brother, 300 people from our department are here to report!" ”
Wang Gui's side was also rushing quickly, and Wang Gui reported with a calm face: "Big brother, 280 people from our department are here to report!" ”
"Newspaper, big brother, 240 people from our department are here to report!" Tang Huai shouted visibly melancholy.
"Newspaper, big brother, 220 people from our department came to report!" Niu Gao said weakly.
Yue Fei listened to these numbers, and then looked at the total of four teams of soldiers who were all on their backs, and couldn't help but nod secretly: "These four people are very hardworking, but this rule must be established, otherwise it will definitely be messed up in the future!" ”
Thinking of this, Yue Fei waved his hand and said: "Brothers, I am Yue Fei, according to General Zong's meaning, from today onwards you have become my brothers, which means that from today onwards we will be in the same boat through thick and thin, life and death together!" ”
Yue Fei's words were very direct and easy to touch. The soldiers straightened their waists one by one and listened to Yue Fei's words with their ears pricked up.
Yue Fei continued: "Everyone knows that the iron hooves of the Jurchen Tartars have broken through the hinterland of our Central Plains, Taiyuan has been lost, and the Western Army has almost been wiped out, and now the golden soldiers of the east and west are directly aimed at Tokyo, and we, as the people of the Great Song Dynasty, should naturally rise up to save the country!" ”
Naturally, everyone nodded their heads again and again. Then Yue Fei was heard to continue: "But everyone knows that the horses and weapons of the Tartars are above us, do you know that if we want to defeat the Tartars, where is the secret?" ”
As soon as the soldiers heard what Yue Fei said, they couldn't help but widen their eyes and stare at Yue Fei. Yue Fei continued: "Military discipline, strict military discipline! ”
Niu Gao listened, he was shocked, he knew that this was a terrible signal, he knew that his eldest brother was likely to take himself under the knife, thinking of this, Niu Gao couldn't help but lower his head and pricked up his ears and continued to listen to Yue Fei's speech.
Yue Fei continued: "Here, in our hometown of Huaiyin, Xiangzhou, I, Yue Fei, want to set a few rules for my army, I don't know if the brothers can? ”
When the soldiers heard this, they all waved their hands and shouted, "General, please speak!" ”
Yue Fei nodded and said, "First, it is not allowed to burn, kill and loot, and those who violate it will be beheaded." Second, do not disturb the people at any time and in any place. Violators will be punished with a cane if they are light, and beheaded if they are heavy. Third, there will be no conscription, and the soldiers will not be resentful. Violators will be punished with rods. Fourth, the various ministries must not be beaten or maliciously directed at each other for small profits. Fifth, those who collaborate with the enemy and traitor, behead. Sixth, those who retreat from the battle and destroy the hearts of our army will be beheaded. Seventh, those who do not listen to orders and disrupt our military discipline will be punished with rods. Eighth, those who do not arrive at the point will be punished with twenty rods. Ninth, it is forbidden to drink alcohol at will, and offenders will be punished. "When Yue Fei said this, he paused, looked at everyone and said, 'How is it, do you agree?'
The soldiers, including Niu Gao and others, all lowered their heads, because everyone knew that these nine were really fatal. The soldiers were secretly thinking in their hearts, which of these nine might they touch? (To be continued......)
