Chapter 17: Canny is Not Needed to Fight the Stubborn (1)

"I'm Commander He's man! Why are you hitting me! Liu Qingde was held down and shouted loudly: "Brothers, he Zheng Yunming is going to beat our Jing'e army!" Lawlessness! He even dared to beat me, and he didn't just want your life! Go and call Commander He! ”

When the sergeants of the Jing'e Army saw Liu Qingde being arrested, many of them were still gloating. You must know that Liu Qingde has always deducted money and food from sergeants, sold armor and weapons, and ate empty salaries, and he is a hooligan who does all kinds of evil. It's just that his sister is He Yuanshou's concubine, and she can sit in the position of the general with the protection of her brother-in-law.

All the soldiers in Pingsuri looked down on him, but these few words pierced the worries of the whole army.

The Mongol army pressed the border, and life and death were just a matter of thought. Zheng Yunming led his troops to intercept Tasi's army in Shatou City, and his deeds have been spread in Jiangling and Ezhou for a generation, and the generals and soldiers from all over the country unanimously agreed: This person must be a character who is keen on fame and fame at any cost.

In order to make a name for himself for meritorious service, even the 3,000 people in his headquarters can be exposed to tens of thousands of Tatar troops without any scruples, and other people's troops will become cannon fodder for this Zheng general to abandon at will.

Liu Qingde's shouts suddenly resounded with an indignant voice in the Jing'e military headquarters.

A few officers standing in the front rolled up their sleeves and were about to come up to save people.

There were already the utility soldiers of the Earth Dragon Army who rushed up next to them, forming a human wall to block them.

The Jing'e army was in turmoil, some people ran outside the training ground to report to He Yuanshou, some people shouted that Zheng Yunming was torn apart, and some people shouted to ask Zheng's subordinates to show mercy.

Everyone was cursing or begging for mercy for Zheng Yunming's actions, but no one was talking about violating military law.

Zheng Yunming roared angrily: "It's all for me!" ”

With his unexpected voice, the training ground suddenly fell silent.

Zheng Yunming stared at the audience with a tiger face.

"What do you think the army is!" Zheng Yunming shouted: "Is it the market and wild store that shouts five and drinks six or the merry fireworks and willow lane!" ”

"The army is an organization of discipline! From the royal family to the small soldiers, as long as they enter this gate, everyone has two words on their heads, that is military law! ”

"You have parents and brothers at home, and you have friends when you go out, but after you become a soldier, there is one thing that overwhelms all of them, and that is military law!"

"Hugh said that it is this Liu Qingde, even if you are the commander of He himself, even if it is Lord Zhao of Jinghu, all the important ministers of the imperial court, and even the governor of political affairs, as long as you enter the military camp, you will be bound by military law!"

"You have all remembered to me that there are always only two things on the head of a soldier, the first is to be loyal to the emperor, and the second is to be loyal to military law! Even if you want to lose your life, you must not violate it! ”

"This is what I Zheng Yunming said, firmly in my heart! If someone is not convinced and dares to try the majesty of military law again, then don't blame the knife that will kill people too sharp! ”

Zheng Yunming waved his hand and shouted, "Fight!" ”

With Liu Qingde's wail, the staff hand hit his snow-white buttocks with a black oily wooden stick, and the flesh and blood were blurred every time the cane went down.

The soldiers of the Jing'e army watched him endure the punishment of forty rods, and no one dared to open their mouths to intercede.

Forty canes were beaten, and someone dragged Liu Qingde, who was already shouting and couldn't move, to the side.

Zheng Yunming shouted: "If a person who violates military law is bumped into by this general, no matter whose subordinates see one and punish another, they will hear it clearly!" ”

Thousands of people in the teaching field responded in unison: "Don't dare to disobey!" ”

Zheng Yunming nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Start practicing!" ”

After the deafening shouts on the training ground dissipated for a long time, I saw He Yuanshou rushing into the Chinese military tent in a hurry.

He walked straight to Zheng Yunming, who was looking through the documents in front of the desk, and slammed his fist on the table.

"Why is the manager so shameless!" He said with red eyes: "Even if I He Yuanshou don't have a deep relationship with the chief manager, I always have to look at the face of Huangzhou Mengdu."

"It is precisely because of Meng Dutong's face" Zheng Yunming rolled his eyes and stared at He Yuanshou: "I taught your brother-in-law a lesson." ”

He Yuanshou was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to get angry, Zheng Yunming stood up and held his shoulder: "Don't be in a hurry to get angry, I heard the people below say that the commander of Shouyingzhou took the initiative to apply to Meng Dutong, what is this for?" ”

He Yuanshou waved his hand and responded rudely: "I volunteered to defend Yingzhou, what does it have to do with Meng Dutong?" ”

Wang Deng, who was leaning on the weapon rack, snorted and said, "Isn't it really because your brother-in-law committed something and transferred the whole army to Yingzhou in order to prevent him from being beheaded by Meng Dutong?" ”

He Yuanshou choked on his truth, and didn't know how to respond.

Cultivating enough henchmen in the army is always useful for mastering the overall situation of the army. From the very beginning of the founding of the army, Zheng Yunming secretly established a small organization in an attempt to secretly collect all kinds of intelligence in the army with a standardized system, so as to distinguish it from the practice of secretly listening to the confidants of senior generals in the past.

This organization, Zheng Yunming, informally called them Wenfeng, and the leader of the Wenfeng could be directly responsible to Zheng Yunming without accepting orders from any generals.

But in the army, they all have official identities as a cover, and the soldiers will not know their true identities. Of course, this is an attempt by the military supervision system to infiltrate the subordinates, but the military history of mankind is a history of the continuous refinement of the military supervision system at the grassroots level; in other words, the supervision of the army is not only the trouble-making function that historians have hyped up, but the perfect military supervision system is an important guarantee for the army's combat effectiveness.

What's more, in Zheng Yunming's view, this kind of small internal intelligence organization also has another function, which is to collect intelligence on friendly forces.

Today's people who heard the wind were extremely efficient, and during the rest of the military training, they inquired about the inside affairs of the Jing'e army. After Zheng Yunming received these rumors, he understood where the joints were.

He was about to say why Yuanshou was looking for a step to step down, when he suddenly announced outside the tent: "Lord Chief, urgent military situation!" ”

The one who came in was the Tulong Army's Tanma placed in the direction of Suizhou, and he panted and reported: "The rebels in De'an City are coming out and are killing in the direction of Yingzhou!" ”

He Yuanshou was startled and hurriedly asked, "How many people are here?" ”

"The total number is about four or five thousand infantry and hundreds of cavalry."

"The total number is not much," He Yuanshou turned to Zheng Yunming and said: "Our army is completely able to deal with it, please order the four gates to be closed, the walls are cleared, and the city is arranged."

"What city to guard?" Zheng Yunming said decisively: "If the thief dares to attack, let's attack and eat him!" ”

He Yuanshou was taken aback and asked, "Lord, take the initiative?" ”

"What does Jing Song say?" Zheng Yunming gestured towards Wang Deng.

Wang Deng pondered in his heart and said, "It can be done!" Let's block him and eat him in the Great Flood Mountain! ”

"You must be crazy!" He Yuanshou exclaimed: "It's not a rescue town, why take the initiative to attack yourself!" Although the enemy is only four or five thousand, but the northern army is brave, and it is a fact that our army is weak. ”

"Please rest assured, my Tulong Army can still cope with such a number of people." Wang Deng said confidently.

He Yuanshou shook his head and said, "I want to go to you, don't let my subordinates die for the fame of Chief Zheng." ”

His words were already considered offensive, but Zheng Yunming just nodded and said: "In this way, I will leave 1,000 people to assist the commander-in-chief to defend the city, and I will only take 6,000 people from my headquarters to destroy the invading enemy in this great flood mountain!" ”

He has already said this, He Yuanshou can only accept it. muttered in his heart: The rumor that this Chief Manager Zheng is keen on fame is really true, I wonder if the 3,000 people in his hands can really hold Yingzhou after the defeat of Lu Dao and the Northern Army?

After leaving the city of Yingzhou, the Tulong army advanced all the way to the west, and the speed of the march decreased slightly due to the increase in new soldiers. It was still the front barracks that played the front, followed by the rear barracks, the baggage brigade, the right wing battalion, the back battalion, and the middle battalion, and the shooting battalion was dragged behind.

When he was in Lao Yashan, Yang Luo once explained to Zheng Yunming the strength of the Southern Song Army of the forty-five armies in the Jinghu area one by one, so he roughly knew what kind of army De'an's rebel army was, and with the troops in his hands, he believed that he could win the first field battle of the Tulong Army.

What's more, this time it's not alone.

As the team was moving forward, news came from the spies ahead: two friendly armies were approaching them from different directions.

"Send someone to contact!" Zheng Yunming ordered: "Be sure to figure out the purpose of the friendly army's actions!" ”

A little later, the spies brought back two people.

The person in front of him had a dark complexion and a fierce face, and at a glance he knew that Lu Dao was a figure in the army, and he reported: "Zhang Shun, the last general of Dahongshan, led 500 soldiers from his headquarters to return to the Dahongshan camp. ”

Another man with a strong figure and a wide mouth also bowed and saluted: "The villain is a native of this Dahongshan clan, named Dai Yanwu, because he saw the example of Lord Wei of the Governor's Mansion, he specially recruited 2,000 farmers from Zuo Near Zhuangding to invite the Tartars. ”

Zheng Yunming saw that he was dressed as a hunter and carrying a big crossbow behind his back, and suddenly became a little curious: "Are the people of Dahongshan used to hunting with crossbows?" ”

"Exactly." Dai Yanwu replied proudly: "The local people don't have any other hobbies, and the border areas are not very strict with weapons, so the practice of crossbows is the most popular in the township, to say something boastful." My three or five-year-old children in Dahongshan can also shoot their relatives, and teenagers can open crossbows to hunt foxes and shoot rabbits, and there are always six or seven hits in ten shots. The hunters I have brought with me today are all crossbowmen who can help the chief. ”

Zheng Yunming nodded in praise, then turned his head and asked Zhang Shundao: "How many roads are there from Dahong Mountain?" ”
