If you want to take it, you must first take it.

Yang Chengying not only generously gave up Port Arthur, but also gave the entire Zhongzuo Institute to the other party.

He only led his subordinates to set up a temporary camp in the plain area north of the center and left to continue training.

As Yang Chengying, who had learned a lot of lessons in his previous life, he understood that politics/governance is to make fewer enemies and more of his own people.

He not only sent Ning Wan and me to win over the Ming troops stationed in Port Arthur, but also did not ask about the current accounts.

He also asked Shang Xueli to continuously reduce the food supply to stimulate his soldiers, so that they could fight against this group of uninvited guests together.

It's the end of July.

On this day, Yang Chengying got up as usual, freshened up, and prepared to inspect the barracks.

But when he walked out of the courtyard where he lived, he saw that the door was full of soldiers.

Xu Shang, who was the leader, came out and said: "Adult, please ask the adults to be the masters of the little ones." ”

With that, he fell to his knees first.

The other soldiers knelt down.

Yang Chengying hurriedly helped him up and let the other soldiers get up.

"What's going on?" Yang Chengying asked knowingly.

"My lord, since the sailor stayed in Port Arthur, the life of the brothers has been getting worse day by day, and if we continue like this, we will have to starve to death."

Xu Shang said indignantly.

"The imperial court sent a sailor to come for the sake of the overall situation of fighting the slave chieftain. I'm also trying to find a way to raise food and grass, and I will definitely not let this situation continue. ”

Yang Chengying reassured them with kind words.

"Humph! These sailors, these days, they have not trained a day, and it is better to believe that the pigs will go up the trees than to expect them to resist the slave chiefs. ”

Xu Shang's words immediately resonated with the big guys, and they all echoed it.

When the general surnamed You saw that the Jinzhou guards withdrew from the Jinzhou Zhongzuo Institute, he really thought that he was afraid of him, so he unceremoniously stayed.

Most of his sailors lived in the Central Left Office, and a small part stayed in Port Arthur.

From that day on, they either went to the Qinglou together or went to the casino, and they didn't have a day of serious training. For smuggling ships, it is even more convenient to open the door and pass freely.

These things fell into the eyes of the guards of the Golden State, and immediately aroused public outrage.

not only cut off everyone's financial route, but also do not do a serious thing, which is tolerable or unbearable.

Seeing that the military heart was available, Yang Chengying asked, "What are your plans?" ”

"Please lead us to fight him, these rice buckets are useless except eating, drinking, and gambling, and they are not our opponents." Xu Shang shouted.

"Yes, take us to fight him."

The other soldiers chimed in.

Yang Chengying's face was embarrassed, "Frontal conflict with the imperial court is not the work of loyal ministers. ”

Xu Shangdao: "The imperial court? Hehe...... When the imperial court sent Gao Huai to Liaodong and squeezed us like millet on a mill, he shed blood and tears. We finally got enough to eat, and they came to bully us again. ”

It's good not to mention this past, but the soldiers all showed resentment.

"My lord, we want to defend our hometown now and not be slaves of Jiannu. If you can't get enough to eat, how can you do it with Jiannu? ”

Xu Shang finished speaking angrily and looked at Yang Chengying with an anxious expression.

Seeing that the big guys have already made up their minds, they have driven the sailors away from Port Arthur.

Yang Chengying had the bottom in his heart, so he said with a serious face: "Since it is everyone's intention, I will not refuse." However, you all have to listen to my strategy and not clash with each other head-on! ”

"I'm willing to listen to your lordship!"

Under the leadership of Xu Shang, everyone said in unison.

In the early morning, the sailor, who was still sleeping under the bed, heard an order from around him.

One by one, they couldn't sleep, so they got up and climbed up to the watchtower to take a look.

Oh, my God!

The Golden State guards divided into small flags and practiced in the periphery of the center-left station.

They shouted "one, two, three, four" in their mouths, and their arms swung almost simultaneously, their legs and feet in unison.

The sailors pointed fingers at these "eccentric" behaviors, unable to understand what they were doing, but one thing they were clear

The center and left are not big cities, and they have no chance to sleep at all from now on.

Looking at the sailors on the watchtower, Yang Chengying showed a sneer on his face.

In a few days, you will also be my subordinates, he thought confidently.

"My lord," Shang Kexi asked puzzled behind him, "What's the use of practicing the queue?" It's not as useful as learning some killing skills directly. ”

"Do you know what is the most important thing about a soldier?" Yang Chengying asked rhetorically.

"Uh...... Be fit! ”

"That's not right."

"Strong in martial arts?"

"Not really."

"That's ......"

"Obey! For example, the Qi family army was invincible, but General Qi Jin, who was a distant relative of Qi Shaobao, led the Zhejiang soldiers to be completely wiped out in the battle of Hunhe, what is the reason? ”

"Most of the slave chiefs are cavalry, and the Zhejiang soldiers are all foot soldiers, so it's normal that they can't be beaten."

Shang Kexi was still young at this time, and there was still a long way to go before the brave and good King of Pingnan.

Yang Chengying was not in a hurry, and asked seductively: "Then, the Tusi soldiers are also foot soldiers, why did they inflict huge casualties on the slave chieftain?" And the Zhejiang soldiers and the Tusi soldiers are only separated by a river, but they can't meet them in time? ”

"This ......" Shang Kexi scratched his head.

"The reason is the word 'discipline', General Qi Jin prides himself on being well versed in Qi Shaobao's law of governing the army, but in fact, he still uses money to support his family, and he is rigid and disobedient to orders when he fights."

"What does this have to do with practicing this?"

"Obedience is not achieved overnight, it takes a process, and practicing queues is this process."

The two discussed, and the sentry in charge of monitoring the sailor in the left office came back and reported that the sailor had all gotten up.

Yang Chengying listened and ordered Xu Shang: "Inform all Xiaoqi that the next training is to stand in line." All the soldiers below themselves stood straight for an hour, eating meat without moving and rice when they moved. ”

"Order."

Xu Shang sent a herald to quickly convey this military order to the soldiers.

As a result, the sailor in the center left saw an even stranger scene.

The Golden State guards outside were all standing neatly, the same from top to bottom.

Yang Chengying was a top student in the military academy in his previous life, and he practiced these very well, stood up straight as a pioneer, and let the sweat flow down his forehead.

And You Shihun, the commander of the sailors, just got out of bed in a daze at this time and freshened up under the service of the concubine.

There was a distance between where he lived and outside the city, and the noise could not reach him.

"General, it's not good!"

The lieutenant hurried in.

"Panic what!" You Shi said unhappily, "Speak slowly, don't rush to reincarnation." ”

The adjutant general took a few breaths and reported: "The subordinates can't say it clearly for a while, so you might as well take a look for yourself." ”

"Oh?" You Shihun listened, gave the deputy general a blank look, and got up and walked out of the house.

When he climbed the watchtower and saw the scene of the queue standing outside, his brow furrowed.

"It's not good, we're surrounded by this group of guys from Jinzhouwei!"

You Shihun said angrily, "They are deliberately demonstrating to us!" ”

The sailors and soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

However, they soon understood the meaning of their master's words.

Yang Chengying cut off their food supply.
