Chapter 64 Military Law

Thankfully, it didn't get to that point. After a few days of domestication, the whipped guys immediately sat down with a sneer, and everything went according to plan.

This time, instead of leaving after distributing the food, as they had done in the past, the auxiliaries scattered in the crowd stood where they were, smiling maliciously and watching the people gobble up their food. The vast majority of people stuffed the fragrant flatbread into their mouths and swallowed it in two bites, lest the kings temporarily change their minds and snatch it back, until there was only the last small piece left in their hands, and they began to chew slowly, savoring and enjoying it with their eyes half-closed, so that the large amount of saliva secreted in the mouth naturally sent the food into the esophagus little by little, and then licked and licked the oily fingers, still intoxicated with unfinished happiness.

The auxiliaries began to speak: "Do you still want to eat?" ”

The crowd burst into pleading.

"You, you, you......" The auxiliaries began to point with their hands to the guys who had been carefully examined one by one, "go over there and get it!" As long as you work hard, you can eat enough esophagus! ”

From east to west, the "lucky ones" who were pointed out stood up one after another, and walked in the direction of the southeast, and the auxiliary soldiers pointed in twos and threes.

Guan Shengyun used the white noodles that the people found in their homes that they were usually reluctant to keep for the New Year, well, a very small part of them got more than 3,000 cannon fodder regiments that were about to be used for the first batch of sieges, and now they are still elated and grateful.

Gu Baihua was wandering boredly in the crowd, and suddenly heard a whimper. The crowd buzzed with chattering, chewing, swallowing, choking and erupting in violent coughing...... The whimper was so soft that it resembled a near-silent sob. It stands to reason that it should have been swallowed up by the noise, but somehow, Gu Baihua suddenly felt his heart tighten, and then, as if the surrounding voices suddenly fell silent, only the sobbing, thin, pointy, straight into the eardrum, straight to the bottom of his heart.

Turning his head to follow the prestige, there were people everywhere, but Gu Baihua still recognized the source of the voice at a glance. It was a village girl with a lot of pot ash on her face, her messy hair was fluffy and stained with a lot of dead grass leaves, and a baby about six or seven years old was half-nestled in her arms, with her eyes closed. The village girl held the broken part of half of the dough cake in the hand under the baby's neck, and held a small piece in the other hand, constantly touching the baby's pale lips, and big tears fell on the baby's equally dirty face, and muttered in her mouth: "The dog is good, the dog is left to eat white flour cakes, the dog is left to open his eyes and see, my sister has cakes." Beside her, a lewd-looking guy in his forties and fifties still had his mouth squirming, and a pair of eyes were staring at the other half of the bread, and he didn't even notice that Gu Baihua walked through the crowd and approached.

The situation is not difficult to judge: Father and mother are somehow gone, sister and brother depend on each other, brother is dying, this guy next to him saw that the auxiliary soldiers had gone away, so he snatched half of his sister's cake, and the sister who was powerless to resist could not resist except sobbing, what else could he do?

Gu Baihua's heart, which was as murderous as hemp, was as stubborn as the thousand-year-old ice on the top of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. But at this moment, those teardrops were like a stream of incandescent molten iron, dripping onto the ice and penetrating through. At first, it was just a slight crack, but in a flash, this piece of solid ice shattered, cracked, and collapsed in an instant, turning into a crystal clear trickle, bubbling down, moistening the vibrant mountain flowers next to the ancient town of Shuhe.

The girl first saw a pair of cowhide combat boots in front of her, and when she raised her head, she saw the iron armor skirt and the two long knives carried cross-legged on the left and right, and then the breastplate went up, and Gu Baihua's gaze.

Providence in the dark.

Somehow, looking at the "thief" in front of her, the girl wondered why there was no fear in her heart at that time, but a sense of security arose, as if she had found support all of a sudden, and her tense heart relaxed in an instant, and she let out a long breath.

Also afterwards, Gu Baihua explained to his companions who made fun of him like this: "Private babies, don't laugh. What we do is licking blood on the head of the knife, I know in my heart that sooner or later someone will be hacked to death in the middle of nowhere, before this, let's cut another one. But at that moment, I suddenly had an itchy and soft feeling in my heart. Let's put it this way, I know it's wrong to kill people, but I've done so much, and I still have to continue to do it in order to survive. At that moment, I suddenly felt that I should be able to do a good deed in this half of my life, to protect a person, to protect a person who can be protected even if I have never seen it. I know in my heart that if I protect her today, she may still die tomorrow. But if she just walks away like that, not to mention that she can't survive now, this matter will definitely haunt her for a lifetime in the future, and she will remember it for a day, and she will never be able to escape it again. ”

The simple words plucked the fragile string in the hearts of these rough men. Yes, they are not extremely vicious devils, and most of them have come to this point only because the imperial court has not set aside any other way for them to take - of course, although everyone is related, it did not prevent them from pinching Gu Baihua's nose and spitting him all over the ground.

That's an afterword.

At this moment, Gu Baihua just calmly instructed Liang Laosi: "Take them to me and let Lang Zhong come over to see if the baby is still saved." Then he said to the girl with a dark face, "Come with him." ”

Liang Laosi stepped forward and picked up the dog, the girl did not flinch, stood up obediently, hung her head and followed Liang Laosi to leave the crowd.

Seeing their figures drift away, Gu Baihua turned around and silently looked at the guy who grabbed the dough cake. The latter smiled with a shy face at first, but stole into Gu Baihua's cold gaze, the smirk froze on his face, and his eyes turned into pity, and then he turned over and knelt on the ground, kept kowtowing, and whined in his mouth to call the king to spare his life, and exchanged tears. Gu Baihua stared intently at the undulating upper body, and slowly pulled out the waist knife, and the sound of the friction between the steel knife and the scabbard made people's scalps tingle. Gu Baihua was silent, holding the hilt of the knife with both hands and raising it above his head, slashing down sharply, and a miserable howl suddenly sounded......

There is no need for Lang Zhong anymore, and the dog has already lost his breath. When Gu Baihua came back, he arranged for people to bury him, and blasted away a few soldiers who occupied the girl's house, and the girl stayed in her own house. Liang Laosi took care of it and sent some food and drink every day.

Some of the generals have listened to the commentary, and there is a saying in "Yang Jiajiang" that the wife before the battle is beheaded. But everyone is a thief who lives a day with his head don't on his trouser belt, and no one really takes storytelling seriously, but they all joke with Gu Baihua to coax it, and when they meet, they compare the action of killing their heads: first use their palms as knives and slash their necks, then tilt their heads, stick out their tongues and stare at them to make a strange appearance, and the audience can't help but laugh. At first, Gu Baihua was still chasing the guy who was playing, but later the generals learned to be obedient, and saw him from a distance, and then laughed and ran away, and Gu Baihua didn't have a way.

The military affairs are about to attack, Gu Baihua was purely soft at first, and he really didn't want to take advantage of this unkempt and gray village girl, and when the girl washed up, she found that she was actually very beautiful with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and she was even more excited. However, he was really acquainted, and he couldn't wipe off his face to make the overlord hard, and he still slept with Guan Luo's senior generals in the restaurant that served as the headquarters of the former enemy. I went over to take a look from time to time, although I didn't break this layer of window paper, the two of them were very good at each other.

During the days when they were preparing to attack the city, the generals were busy building equipment, and Guan Shengyun was working on his own military orders with the help of the two masters Luo.

Of course, the ancient army also had military discipline, such as the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts". However, in most cases, the ministries implemented their own military laws that were revised and formulated by the commanders of the leading armies. In the past, he was a thief, and the future of the war was uncertain, and he had to be transformed into a regular army, so it was necessary to formulate a military law. Guan Shengyun went out of the army a few times, and some important contents could be remembered seventy-seven-eighty-eight, after the pondering and supplementation of Luo's father and son, there was finally a small success in a few days.

Luo's father and son also gained a lot. In the past, as a civilian official, Luo Yonghao didn't know much about the so-called military law, after Guan Shengyun's memories, and then pondered carefully, especially Luo Shifan, a clever ghost, opened his brain, and found a lot of military regulations, which really came out of the in-depth study and speculation of the generals on the front line of the psychology of soldiers, not the whim of rough people.

For example, this one: "Those who escaped from the battle were beheaded, and after the battle, the deserters returned to the camp and beat forty military sticks." At first, Luo Yonghao thought it was nonsense: it was also a run, and you were caught and killed on the spot, but if you didn't catch it, you came back and beat it up, and it was over? Isn't that encouraging everyone to run together? It wasn't until Guan Shengyun finished explaining that Luo Junshi realized that his thinking was completely wrong: escaping from the battle would undoubtedly greatly shake the morale of the army. Soldiers do not have a God's perspective to look down on the whole situation, they can only see the situation around them, and a local rout can often pull the entire battle line, so the generals must stop it by merciless killing in the first place. After the war, when the overall situation has been decided, if all the deserters who return to the camp are killed, the escaped guys will be completely cut off from this way back, and they will have to become robbers, and the troops will lose a lot of cannon fodder. So, just beating - rather than being exterminated as a thief or starved to death in the wilderness, it was obviously more cost-effective for the deserters to go out and get a fat beating. Moreover, some people are coerced to run, but they still dare to fight, and some people are the natural reaction of going to war for the first time...... It's unfair to kill all of them.

When it comes to military law, we can't help but mention Qi Jiguang anyway. It is not so much that classmate Qi is a famous general in a hundred battles, it is better to say that he is better at training, and it is more appropriate to bring a good soldier. For example, Lao Qi has a rule that if the battle is lost, the commander will be beheaded, and the commander will be killed if the whole team will be killed.

In this regard, he explained it like this: Do you think that if I am defeated, I will only kill the commander, and put all the blame on him alone, and everyone will run away if the war starts? Oh, wrong! Suppose you are a small flag officer, what will you do when you fight? You're going to rush it! Because if you retreat, you will be dead when you come back, and the only chance to survive is to rush forward and defeat the enemy! Right? The commander rushed up, what would you do if you were his minions? Watching the chief rush up and be hacked to death? Don't even want to live when you come back! You're just going to have to rush along, right? If your commander dies, you can bring back an enemy's head and kill the rest of the team, rest assured, you're okay. Otherwise, you must die! In this way, the other generals tried their best to use their own soldiers to supervise the team and cut down the deserters, but they couldn't stop them, are they tired? I seem to have only killed one person, but I am like an arm and a finger to drive layer by layer: if the battalion officer dies, I will cut the team officer, and the team officer will have to rush, and if the team officer dies, I will cut the chief flag officer, and the chief flag officer will have to rush, and if the chief flag officer is dead, I will cut the small flag officer, and the small flag officer will have to rush, and if the small flag officer dies, I will cut the whole team, and everyone will have to rush for me! Thousands of tigers and wolves roared and rushed, who could stop them?

Qi Jiguang led 3,000 athletes to run rampant in Jimen, beating 100,000 Mongolian compatriots far away from Mobei, and often their own casualties are always in the single digits, in addition to being well-trained, this trick is also indispensable - it seems that in addition to Makqin, there are also classmates of Lao Qi who make Shaomin compatriots good at singing and dancing.

It's a pity that Guan Shengyun and Luo Yonghao didn't figure out the big killer move of Lao Qi. However, even so, the combat effectiveness of this army is far above that of many officers and regular troops in the Ming Dynasty.

A few days later, the general assault on Shaanzhou finally began.

Appendix, 17 prohibitions and 54 slashes. This is the general rule of most battalions, and only 17 are listed here, and 54 are too wordy, and they are omitted.

One of them: Hearing the drum does not enter, smelling the gold does not stop, the flag cannot be raised, the flag is not subdued, this is called rebelling against the army, and the offender is beheaded.

Second: the name should not be called, the time is not enough, the time is not violated, and the law of the teacher is changed, which is called a slow army, and the offender will be beheaded.

Third: Spread the battle at night, neglect and do not report, and even more plan to violate the slow, the voice is unknown, this is called slackness, and the offender is beheaded.

Its thirteenth: When calling, the tongue should not be stammered, the eyebrows are bowed, and the face is difficult, this is called a ruthless army, and the offender is beheaded.

Fourteenth: out of the army, before and after, noisy speech, do not obey the forbidden training, this is called a chaotic army, and the offender will be beheaded.

The fifteenth: to use the wound to avoid the expedition, pinch the wound and fake the death, so as to escape, this is called the fraud of the army, and the offender is beheaded.

Sixteenth: When the lord is in charge of money and food, and when he gives rewards, he is a private relative, so that the soldiers and soldiers have a grudge, which is called a bad army, and the offender is beheaded.

Its seventeenth: the observation of the thief is not tried, the thief is unknown, to the point of not speaking, more is less, less is more, this is called the wrong army, the offender is beheaded.

Personally, I feel that the above military laws were formulated with the participation of civilian officials~ What kind of awkward terms against the army, the deceitful army, and the ruthless army come out, and no one can understand or remember it. When you are a soldier, you can't read the big characters, but Zeng Guofan's children's songs-like things are good, simple and easy to understand, and you can remember them after listening to them twice.
