There are generally three kinds of seals given by the Son of Tomorrow to his subordinates: first, the sword of Shangfang, second, the king's command card, and third, gold and silver arrows.

The king can execute the officials under the five ranks, but he cannot dismiss local affairs, and the arrow can send local garrisons, but he cannot kill people or dismiss local affairs. Arrows are generally given to high-ranking officers, and the royal flag can be given to generals or local officials.

The Shang Fang Sword, also known as the Sword of the Son of Heaven, is a powerful Son of Heaven rune.

The origin is Han Feizi, who is a Legalist, believes that the Son of Heaven holds the power of life and death of officials, and this power should only be held by the Son of Heaven, so even if the officials of the world are condemned to death, they must finally report to the Son of Heaven for decision, and the Son of Heaven will decide his life and death. But in ancient times, when there were no telephones and telegraphs, this would undoubtedly reduce the efficiency of rule, and it might not have been a trouble administratively, but it was a disaster in military terms.

During the war, the Han Wu gave Wei Qing the sword he wore with him, and delegated the power of life and death to him at and below the lieutenant in order to command the whole army.

Later, an even more terrible right appeared, that is, the "fake Huang Yue", also known as the Son of Heaven Yue, the fake Huang Yue could execute any official outside the royal family without reporting in advance. The fake Huang Yue is more similar to the prison state, that is, the right to act as the emperor, and most of the people who can get the fake Huang Yue are either temporary ministers or usurper reserves. In the original time and space of Huangshi, fake Huangyue also appeared in the Ming Dynasty, such as when Wu Sangui attacked Yunnan, the Son of Yongli gave it to Li Dingguo.

In the Song Dynasty, the power of life and death in the army was taken back by the Son of Heaven, and then Kublai Khan of the Mengyuan Dynasty again gave his subordinates the sword of the Son of Heaven - such as Zhang Hongfan, this sword of the Son of Heaven is still named Shang Fang Sword.

Shang Fang Baojian can act as the agent of local government affairs, officials below the fifth rank can be cut first and then played, and officials below the third rank can be suspended on the spot. The authority of the governor of the Ming Dynasty was great, because the governor was given a sword.

But after the opening of the Ming Dynasty, this is the first time that the sword of the Son of Heaven has been given to a general, which shows that the limelight of the Liaodong military is getting harder and harder.

After returning to his residence, Huang Shi began to explain the task to Hong Antong: "The selection of Catholics is very important, and you must take care of it for me." ”

The full name of Catholicism on Changsheng Island is: Daming Zhongjun Patriotic Catholic Church. For Wu Mu, it is referred to as "Zhongjun Patriotic Religion", and for the Jesuits, it is referred to as "Catholicism".

Although the Ming court was wary of the spread of religion, it was relatively lax, and He Baodao's words also represented the general view of religion among the Ming people - that is, a rabble. During the reign of the Ming Dynasty, the threat of several cult disturbances was not great, such as the Wenxiang Sect rebellion in the second year of the Apocalypse, in which hundreds of thousands of believers faced less than 20,000 officers and soldiers, but the battle could be described as a one-touch collapse.

After all, the officers and soldiers have a chain of command formed by the officers of the generals, guerrillas, thousand generals, and generals, while the vast majority of the Wenxiangjiao army are foolish people who do not spend money on medical treatment, and the vast majority of the commanders at all levels also have the purpose of taking advantage of the religion. These people had the hope of looting the local people, but as soon as they saw the white-edged spears of the officials and soldiers, they immediately looked invincible and ran away.

And when the imperial court ordered the pardon of everyone except Xu Hongru, the leader of the Wenxiang Sect became a loner, and afterwards the Ming court did not even ban the believers, but only gave some grace to the remaining religious leaders.

Huang Shi believes that the cohesion of an organization depends on its selection system, such as the Wenxiang Sect, which relies on superficial fanaticism to promote, which will inevitably select a group of truly brainless fanatics and cunning rat gangsters.

Another example is the brotherhood and elder association in the army. It is true that a private army can be formed by worshipping the son and recognizing the eldest brother, but Huang Shi believes that this is a feudal military head system, and he has no intention of promoting it in his own army, let alone creating it himself.

Huangshi's wishful thinking is to show up a political party under the banner of religion, and if you organize one on your own, it is easy to arouse the vigilance of the imperial court and the prison army, after all, there have been many thieves who have been making rebellion under this banner for thousands of years, and it is even more sensitive to establish sects on their own in the army. Therefore, the number of people should not be very large, and the number of believers should be limited to a small range as much as possible.

And the tool of the tongguò political party can instill in the soldier something he wants to instill, such as: ideals.

The modern army is a war machine, and through the cruel corporal punishment and daily training, the soldiers gradually lose the ability to think for themselves, and form a reflex to carry out orders. The fear of sticks and whips is ingrained in a modern army, and the more fearful they are on the battlefield, the more they will mechanically carry out orders.

For example, the American troops in the Civil War, under the cover of artillery fire, lined up in a tight formation, to slowly walk for a mile, and then perfectly changed the queue and climbed over the low wall. And from a distance of 4oo yards, he was subjected to non-stop rifled gun fire, and 10,000 people hung up 8,000 in the offensive battle before collapsing.

Needless to say, the organizational structure of the feudal army mainly relied on personal bravery, merit by rank, and robbery to maintain fighting spirit, so the feudal army had the saying that the division should not be curbed and the siege of the city must be que, that is, it hoped not to force the opponent to fight hard. And the modern army does not have these statements, anyway, they are all fought and pulled down, but they are just a zombie and a walking dead on the battlefield. Soulless armies can only rigidly kill or be killed, and cannot actively fight, so after encountering modern armies, there is once again one-sided massacres.

Only ideals can inject soul into the dead corpse of the modern army, not only the rigidity of machinery, but also flexible tactics and flexible elasticity. Fighting with a full sense of battle, and flexibly striving for victory according to the shape of the battlefield, even a defeated individual soldier can regain his will to fight on his own.

For example, large-scale guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines is not that the ancients were unwilling, but that the feudal army and the modern army simply could not do it. The feudal army that fell behind enemy lines was a rogue who could only rob, and the modern army that lost its command was a dead corpse.

Huang Shi didn't know if this plan would succeed, but he still had to give it a try, and if it didn't, he wouldn't be afraid. It is still good for Wu Mu to help lie, if he really reports the record of one dead and four wounded, this combat effectiveness may cause doubts in the imperial court. It is best for the imperial court to understand victory as Huangshi's personal martial prowess, and it must not let others realize that this is the power of the military system - no matter who is the commander.

Huang Shi disagreed with Duncan's statement, telling him that Duncan's religious soldiers could only be called believers, but that they had to be selected before they could be baptized, and that these believers must first prove their love and devotion to God before they could be baptized...... Well, love and loyalty to Yellowstone.

Reserve Christians - Yellowstone's new title for these Christians was to be known as Converts if they showed bravery in battle, or if they worked actively in peacetime. And these activists had to go through further tests before they could become glorious Catholics.

"These Christians are nominally - note that they are all nominally Jesuit Duncan, including me, Duncan was absorbed, and I am equal to other Christians. ”

If the court wants to find trouble, go to the trouble of the Jesuits, in case the court is really suspicious, at most it will order Huangshi not to believe in religion. Huang Shi was determined to hand over the burden of carrying the black cauldron to his brothers in the Society of Jesus, as the so-called "friends of the dead Dao, not the poor of the Daoists", in case the "friends of the Daoists" did not die, in the future, the Jesuits would be called "Trotskyists" or "revisionists".

In order to help these active religious activists attain enlightenment as soon as possible, Huangshi also specially arranged study classes and other organizational life, and Huangshi has already written the materials needed for these organizational life for Hong Antong.

"As for joining the Church, this should also be according to the standard model, for example, you Hong Antong is now a member of the glorious 'Ming Zhongjun Patriotic Catholic Church', and your introducer is Huangshi - that is, me, if you apostatize in the future...... Of course, this will not happen, but if this happens, the introducer will be held responsible. ”

Huang Shi hopes that this joint sitting system can ensure that the introducer will not be used as a favor.

"And before joining the church, it must be reviewed by the Changsheng Island Education Committee, and this title of disciple must be given to the bravest and most industrious soldiers, so that the believers can play an exemplary and leading role in combat and production, and everyone must understand that joining the religion is to endure hardships, not to enjoy happiness. ”

Hong Antong didn't seem to understand when he heard it: "My lord, my subordinates dare to ask, who is willing to join the sect in this way? Those believers and soldiers only believe it for the benefit of heaven." ”

This question made Huang Shi wonder: "Xiaohong, do you believe it?"

"The saint has clouds, worships ghosts and gods and stays away. ”

"Then why did you want to join the church?"

"This is an adult's order, and the adult's order will be carried out by his subordinates. Hong Antong replied fluently, and Huang Shi also explained to him that this would unite the soldiers and gain the support of the Jesuits.

"It's very well said, anyone who can have this kind of consciousness like you can be promoted to the church. "Yellowstone has always believed that the selection criteria determine the composition of the organization, and if the Catholic Church of Eternal Life Island is selected according to the Jesuit fanaticism as the standard, then it is not necessary to think that it will be all fanatics. But if the selection criteria are the elite of the army and the enthusiasm for allegiance to Yellowstone...... The name is just a skin. He casually circled two words on the textbook - honor and status, and then clicked on these two words to explain to Hong Antong:

"Honor - in the island of eternal life must be made of admiration for everyone who, at the first hearing of the word: 'Ah, what a good man', and status - the rank of the chief officer must be as widely ascension as possible, and the religious officer should be given priority in promotion, for this title already guarantees them excellence. ”

Hong Antong scratched his head, trying his best to digest these things. No matter which way you think about it, Yellowstone only intends to ask for the best part.

"There are a few others, but I'll talk about them when I get back. Huang Shi expected that this trip to the Dongjiang River would not take more than a month, and there was no need to explain it to Hong Antong all at once: "I don't think the Jesuits will send people in the near future, but if they come, listen to Duncan's arrangements and don't show any flaws." ”

"Yes, sir. Hong Antong packed up his things and was about to retreat: "Fortunately, Duncan is very cooperative, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble." ”

Huang Shi shrugged: "Matter of principle, you can't take a step back, otherwise you won't be able to hold back anymore." ”

When Hong Antong retreated, he had a slight question in his heart - does this set of adults really work?

Similar worries hover in Yellowstone's mind, the soldiers are foolish, but the officers and elites have to be realists, and realists need profit. So far, the military reform and cutting the tail of feudal tradition are very smooth, because Huangshi has the right to distribute the interests of Changsheng Island, where the eldest and the second are the eldest.

However, as the army grew, Huang Shi realized that he needed to take out more and more benefits, and if the interests of the Confucian scholars were sacrificed, it would mean a brutal class war: powerful enough to completely defeat the Confucian landlord and scholar class, or die and annihilate.

"Can I find a new resource of interest for my subordinates, a resource of interest that will give me room to compromise and meet the needs of my subordinates?" Yellowstone, who had a headache in thought, decided to put the problem aside for a moment, and he pulled out a note with a sketch of his pyramid of power.

"The party, the government, and the army are now there, Hong Antong's religion, Yang Zhiyuan's old camp, and Zhao Wanxiong's staff. The spire supported by four sides is still one KGB away, so it should be okay to hand it over to the younger brother. ”
