Chapter 35 Equalizing the Discussion, Nacai
But in a day or two, the matchmaker came to Jimo City with the dowry, and Yang Miaozhen's subordinates learned about this family affair.
Yang Miaozhen, Liu Quan and Wang Min convened the generals at this time, first explained that they had the idea of agreeing to family affairs, and discussed the matter of joining forces with everyone.
Since they already have the intention of marrying, the generals feel that they should also share Meng Jiu as the master in the future.
Although Yang Miaozhen may be better than Meng Jiucheng in martial arts, but if she marries her husband, where is the reason for Si Chen?
Military discipline and regulations are also acceptable, and Yang Miaozhen's troops are quite good compared to other rebels. Yang An'er said that when Wang was established, he also promulgated military rules and discipline, but the implementation was not strict enough.
It's just that after the generals are trained, they will lead the troops to fight, and the generals have some complaints. After all, they are all battle-hardened, and no one will admit that their level is not good.
Regarding the generals' micro-words and objections, Yang Miaozhen has carefully discussed them with Meng Jiucheng, which is not unexpected, and there is also a way to deal with it.
Yang Miaozhen pressed down his hand, stopped everyone's discussions, and said, "General Meng told me in detail about this matter, and he didn't mean to take it lightly. It is true that the Red Turban Army has some weapons to defeat the enemy, and the way of fighting is also different. If you don't believe me, a battalion will soon come and conduct a drill. When the time comes, it will be easier to decide. ”
Liu Quan is not only an elder but also a deputy marshal, and he also supported Yang Miaozhen as the commander at the beginning, and he had to stand on Yang Miaozhen's side at this time.
What's more, how to decide, we have to watch the drill before talking, and it is not without leeway.
"All of you who rebelled against Jin with the Nine Kings were all loyal, born and died. What kind of heart Qu Shuai is, you all know that he will never be treated badly. Liu Quan opened his mouth and said: "General Meng sincerely asks for marriage, and the conditions are suitable, this is only one of them; Qu Shuai wants to agree to the family affair, but also for everyone's sake. Can't you figure it out? ”
How could the generals not figure it out, nor could they think of a better way to unite the army. It's just that I'm angry, unwilling, and unconvinced.
Wang Min said in a deep voice: "General Meng has tens of thousands of troops and occupies three states, is it all a fluke?" This time I went to Qingdao, although I was in the tube, I also saw that General Meng's plan was far-reaching, and the potential of the Red Turban Army was huge. There are hundreds of thousands of households under his rule, and if he makes every effort to expand the army, it will not be difficult for the 100,000 people. ”
After a pause, Wang Min continued: "The war is chaotic, the people are displaced, and the ten rooms are empty. You have all seen the desolation and desolation of the places where our army passed, and you must know how tight money and food are. General Meng recruited southern merchants in Qingdao and bought grain at ten times the price, but he did not treat our army badly, which shows his generosity and benevolence......"
After talking too much, Wang Min couldn't help coughing again, and Yang Miaozhen hurriedly handed over the tea.
After taking two sips, Wang Min gasped for a while, raised his head, and said very earnestly: "Although it is said that you will only make a decision after watching the drill, I still have to implore you to focus on the overall situation, even if it is a little wronged temporarily." If it is a stalemate with the Red Turban Army, it is not possible for the sword soldiers to meet each other, but where will our army go to live and gain a foothold? And how do you get money and food? ”
"You all understood what the military advisor said?" After listening to the analysis, Liu Quan felt more than the generals, as the deputy marshal, money and food were his biggest headache, and he sighed and said: "The situation is like this, what's the point of tolerating some?" If you think about it again, Qu Shuai's martial arts are better than General Meng's, even if he doesn't compete for the position of commander after getting married, his words and deeds have weight. If General Meng treats you unfairly, Qu Shuai will not agree. ”
Yang Miaozhen didn't say much, and listened expressionlessly. Although it is not a sacrifice for the sake of everyone, it makes everyone think so.
"Qu Shuai is hardworking, how can I not know." Yan Tong stood up and arched his hand and said, "Speaking of which, General Meng's resettlement method is also generous. Those who are willing to serve the people will be rewarded with land and build houses, and those who are willing to serve as soldiers will also be treated the same as the Red Turban Army. The last general is willing to obey the order and not embarrass the commander. ”
Wang Xian was a little hesitant, but the commander, deputy marshal and military advisor were almost the same, Yan Tong also expressed his attitude, and he was not easy to obstruct, so he got up to show his obedience.
The situation is stronger than people, Wang Min's analysis is indeed very real, and it seems that becoming a relative and joining forces is the only choice now.
Therefore, under the leadership of Yan Tong and Wang Xian, others also expressed their obedience.
After the meeting ended, Yang Miaozhen returned to her residence, and there were all kinds of dowry gifts, and a room had already been set up.
When she saw the dressing mirror, Yang Miaozhen was very surprised, she knew the value of this treasure. In addition to being surprised, she was also moved by Meng Jiucheng's intentions.
Speaking of which, since Yang Miaozhen agreed to the family affair, the army was left to convince the generals. She naturally has nothing to fight for, but she also hopes that Meng Jiucheng can treat her old subordinates well.
At the same time, Meng Jiucheng also talked to her about the current situation. Yang Miaozhen knew that the war was not far away, and he also wanted to solve the matter of joining forces as soon as possible and fight the enemy together.
After swearing that night, Meng Jiucheng invited Yang Miaozhen to the study, and Wang Min also invited him. On the overall situation of the base area and the future development plan, I talked with the two late at night.
Although I have seen some of them before and heard some of them, Yang Miaozhen and Wang Min are also in charge of the Red Turban Army, and even the base area.
Although they were still surprised and admired, after getting to know each other thoroughly, the feelings of the two turned into shock.
The degree of consolidation of the operation, the great potential contained in it, and the long-term meticulousness of the plan are much more than Yang An'er, who was called the king in his heyday.
Only then did Yang Miaozhen and Wang Min understand that the Red Turban Army did not seem to be too numerous, but its strength and potential were huge. If the recruitment of troops is released like the Red Jacket Army, more than 100,000 horses will also be expanded very quickly.
After this long talk, Yang Miaozhen and Wang Min both knew that joining forces was the best choice. In order to make the two armies sincerely unite and reduce suspicions, Yang Miaozhen and Meng Jiucheng's family affair is the best solution.
Therefore, in the face of the generals' doubts and micro-words, Yang Miaozhen chose to speak for Meng Jiucheng, and Wang Min also tried his best to echo it, that is, to promote this major event related to the future of himself and the army.
Temporarily suppressing the doubts in the hearts of the generals, Yang Miaozhen informed the whole army of the military laws and regulations of the Red Turban Army, and strengthened and enriched the military law department.
At the same time, Yang Miaozhen also accepted Meng Jiucheng's suggestion and made the resettlement measures public. And adopt the principle of voluntariness, to serve as a soldier or for the people, and let the soldiers choose by themselves.
Of course, Yang Miaozhen also responded to Meng Jiucheng's dismissal - agreed.
In ancient times, weddings generally had six steps: Nacai, Najib, Nazheng, Invitation, and Greeting. However, in the Song Dynasty, only the four procedures of Nacai, Naji, Nazheng, and Qinying were retained.
As soon as the Nacai ceremony is over, it is Najib, also known as "too big sticker", "exchange of books", also known as "Tongshu", which is actually equivalent to the engagement of later generations.
