Chapter 358: Propaganda Team, Seeding Machine
Strengthen political education, unify thinking, and establish a glorious image of the benevolent and righteous teacher of the Dengzhou camp. This is the focus of the work of the Dengzhou battalion in its westward expansion. In order to accomplish this key point of work, the Law Enforcement Department and the Life Guidance Office directly under the Dengzhou General Army Attendant Office have the heaviest tasks. These two departments are basically young people, and since the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the intellectual youth cultivated by Chen's brainwashing Dafa.
"This time we are going westward, and the focus of our work is to let the people know that the Dengzhou camp is a benevolent and righteous army. Through your propaganda impression, the soldiers understand that being a soldier and fighting is not only for victory, but also for the people of the world to eat and live a stable and good life. For this lofty goal, the Dengzhou battalion must unite and struggle for life. ”
It's useless to talk about the big truth, it's better to be easy to understand. Chen Xie understands this very well, and around the core of eating and living a good life, countless codes of conduct can naturally be derived. Cooperate with the military discipline of the Dengzhou battalion, so that the soldiers can understand why military discipline requires everyone so much.
There was a lot of preparation before the westward expansion, and the logistics and supply could not be counted on the local governments, and most of Henan, which had been washed over and over again by thieves, and the northern part of Huguang, it was a joke to solve the supply problem on the spot. In the no-man's land of dozens of miles, you can't spend any money. Therefore, the Dengzhou battalion has a clear understanding from top to bottom.
The logistics department directly recruited more than 3,000 people from the displaced people, and transported the grain from Pukou one by one. Or at Pukou, the boats that unloaded the grain loaded onto the displaced people and went down the river. The local governments can't afford to provoke the Dengzhou camp, and they are unwilling to deal with the Dengzhou camp. All stood by and watched. The hidden strength of the United Firm and Dafa Money Village was once again displayed in front of the world. Thousands of sails on the Yangtze River competed with each other, and food and materials were constantly transported to Pukou to pick up the population. In just half a month, 50,000 displaced people boarded the boat and rushed to the unknown and strange world with their yearning for a better life.
The Dengzhou battalion rested unhurriedly for three days before it began to advance westward. Lu Xiangsheng didn't say a word about this, and no one dared to say anything no. No matter how picky the civil officials are, they don't dare to provoke the Dengzhou camp at this time. Even if you want to be famous and think of a crazy civil official, you don't dare to touch the Dengzhou camp at this time. Very simple. Frightened. Ships on the Yangtze River. Able to easily transport the army across the Yangtze River and then ....... The invincible Dengzhou battalion, the scene of easily crushing the garrisons from all over the country that was virtually useless, is easy to think.
Lu Xiangsheng is a master who does not tolerate sand in his eyes. He pinched his nose and endured Chen Xie. And what about others? Why? Strength! Lu Xiangsheng couldn't imagine it at all. What are the consequences of failure once he attacks Chen Xie. Can't get out!
Otherwise, how can it be said that cultural people can't become a big thing, the two grassroots representatives of successful rebellion in history, Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang. None of them are from the background of scholars. One is a ruffian hooligan, and the other is called Hanako.
Chen Xie led his troops south to Luzhou, and the Yizi battalion from Chuzhou waited here, bringing a large number of baggage, thousands of people, and a large number of captured livestock, chariots and horses. After the convergence, half of the Yizi battalion was left in Luzhou, and the main force slowly moved west. Half of the people left behind in Luzhou set up a logistics transfer station.
No one can pick on the matter of setting up a logistics transfer station. The local government will not provide money and food, and can only rely on the Dengzhou battalion itself. This is the treatment of the Dengzhou battalion, and the officials in the world have a trick. "Ming Pao" mentions this matter in every issue, but nothing has changed. If it was replaced by an ordinary team, it is estimated that it would have quit a long time ago, but the Dengzhou battalion would not, and it would have to face the difficulties.
The army went out, the cavalry opened the way, and the two subsequent battalions of the first word slowly went west with the baggage, not too fast, sixty miles a day. It's not that Chen Xie is cautious, he really can't go faster. You can walk fast without a baggage, but you can only walk slowly with a baggage. The road conditions are so bad that there is no way to do it.
The displaced people encountered along the way, the Dengzhou camp was the first to shout, we are from the Dengzhou camp, and we are here to help the people. The homeless people who were willing to obey were each given a pound of small bags of fried noodles and told them to go to Luzhou, where there was a shelter in the Dengzhou camp.
Entering Henan, the Dengzhou battalion had no fighting all the way. It's basically an armed parade, there's no way, it's too famous. When the thieves heard that the Dengzhou camp was coming, there was no one who didn't run away. Wherever the Dengzhou battalion went, it would be "welcomed". The local officials did not come forward, so the local gentry came forward to work in the army. For local officials, any Ming army crossing the border was not welcome, but they could only pinch their noses to "welcome". This was all frightened by the previous Ming army, the thieves crossed the border once, the officers and soldiers crossed the border again, and the unlucky ones were all local.
Dengzhou battalion to the mall is this treatment, this road is mountainous, the march is difficult, and the walk is called a hard work. In a small city in the mountains, when a large army appeared, the whole city was frightened, and the city gates were closed. The Dengzhou battalion sent messengers, and then camped outside the city, and the military discipline was in a mess. The suspicious local officials sent a few gentry to labor the army with cattle and food. After going back, he began to tout how the military discipline of the Dengzhou battalion was, and the real Qiu did not commit any crimes.
Word of mouth is really important, and literati who are officials in the court will worry about Chen Xie's rebellion. The local gentlemen can only see one acre and three points of land at home. Interest is the most intuitive thing, the Dengzhou camp is in the mall, let alone robbery, not a single grass touches the people. Where to find such an army?
When he arrived in Gwangju, this place was washed by Li Zicheng once, and it was dilapidated. Zhang Xianzhong, who fled for his life, came again, digging three feet into the ground for money and grain, and there were few people left in the city. The Dengzhou camp came, and when I met a common man, there were not many things, a bag of fried noodles, and it was very good, the army was going to fight, and that's all I could give to the villagers. I really can't live, so I go to Luzhou, not afraid of a long way, I can go to Dengzhou. In short, it's a way to live.
Zhang Xianzhong is a ghost, he runs fast, and there is no loss in the strength of his subordinates. With seventy or eighty thousand people, he has been running to the mountains. Chen Xie chased slowly behind, and he didn't say anything about chasing after him. Li Zicheng was more violent, and when he arrived in Guide to see that Kaifeng was not far away, he successively collected 100,000 heroes and homeless people from all walks of life, and went directly to Kaifeng.
There is Chen Yongfu in Kaifeng Mansion, if this guy wants to talk about field warfare, he will definitely not be able to do Li Zicheng. Just shut the door, you come. Li Zicheng saw that this was not a thing, and there was a King Lu Yan chasing after him, so he just went to Shandong. Liu Ze on the Shandong side is on guard early in the morning, you have to cross the Yellow River, right? Want a boat? Dream! Bridge? The pontoon bridge erected by the Dengzhou camp was lit with fire. Wherever you fall in love, don't come to Shandong to harm Lao Liu.
To say that this Liu Zeqing is also very funny, next to Denglai, he is not worried at all that Chen Xie will call him and kill him first. He should eat empty salary, eat empty salary, earn a lot of money, not to mention the purchase of ordnance, expand the team, and improve the treatment of soldiers. There were originally more than 3,000 people under his command, and there was a dignified general soldier, which was a bit embarrassing. People don't care, they live very well. What military households fled, and soldiers fled, they were all invisible. There are refugees who fled to Shandong, he is not polite, all of them are packed and handed over to merchants from Dengzhou, and the money is collected according to the capitation, and the price is absolutely fair. Thieves ravaged Henan, officers and soldiers from all walks of life were tired and tired, and no benefit was lost, so he made a windfall, and more than 10,000 refugees changed hands and turned into silver.
It is a very illusory thing to expect the generals of the Ming Dynasty to have discipline, and it is still a reality that the silver comes.
It was Li Zicheng who suffered, and finally had the opportunity to be the boss, with a group of subordinates who had nothing to eat, going back and forth in circles. Look at the meaning of King Lu Yan to catch up, hurry up and run to the west, if it doesn't work, Shaanxi will be fine. If you can't do it, you will go to the mountains in the western part of Henan to drill a ravine, anyway, you will run all the way.
"The Western Expedition is propaganda, and the Western Expedition is the ...... of the seeding machine." In Mr. Chen's daily routine meetings, he is repeating the same old tune.
A lie told a thousand times is the truth, not to mention that in order to build the brand of "Teacher of Benevolence and Righteousness", Dengzhou Camp sprinkled out all the fried noodles that can be eaten really. Follow Zhang Xianzhong's footsteps all the way to catch up slowly, and hit the brand of Dengzhou camp all the way. This comparison is very intuitive, the Dengzhou battalion has traveled thousands of miles, and the people along the way know that not all the officers and soldiers are here to harm the people. How many people are willing to leave their homes, that's really not much. The road guidance system of the Ming Dynasty existed in name only at this time. The problem is that people in this era rarely leave the land where they were born and raised, and it takes great courage to live in a strange place. They are not homeless people who follow the rebellion, they can't survive anymore, they just have a place to eat.
Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong drilled into the mountains, and the difficulty of this operation became greater. It was mainly the Guanning cavalry on Lu Xiangsheng's side, who refused to enter the mountains. Chen Xie's side also began to sabotage, under the pretext of dividing troops to surround and block, and then engaged in his political propaganda everywhere. Zhang Xianzhong was also quite cooperative, basically loitering in a few mountainous areas on the border between Henan and Huguang.
The Dengzhou battalion did not make any effort to work, and went out of the mountains to Xiangyang. Huguang here wishes that Chen Xie would stay, and it is best to let the thieves go to Henan and not come to Huguang for the rest of their lives. Zhang Xianzhong is also bitter, it is too difficult to find food in the mountains, and his subordinates flee every day, and there are fewer and fewer people. Most of the people who escaped were hooked by fried noodles.
This time, the Dengzhou battalion marched westward, and the battle was very distinctive, and it arrived in a certain mountainous area where it was said that there were thieves. When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they set up a big pot to boil soup, and the fragrance wafted everywhere, and the hungry homeless people couldn't bear it. It is said that the Dengzhou camp is benevolent and righteous, so send someone down to try it.
As a result, people continued to escape from the mountains and enter the refugee camp prepared by the Dengzhou camp, so that they could have a stable life, and they could eat two bites of fried noodles every day, and they did not have to live a life of displacement. As for the future, who cares? In the refugee camp, there is also brainwashing all day long, sending everyone overseas, where there is a lot of wasteland, providing farm tools to plough cattle, as long as the wasteland is cleared, the land is their own, and they are free of land for three years.
