When Yang Chengying received the letter, he was working with He Kegang outside Ningyuan City, doing farm work.

The vast majority of them are former Guanning Army soldiers who have been discharged from the army.

Most of them received a generous retirement pension because of their age, and then they and their families got farmland and cultivated it in this area.

Yang Chengying also participated, working with He Kegang and others until noon.

When the sun was blazing, they hid under the tree, took off their coats, wore only their linings, and shook their fans to rest for a while.

Wait for the sun to go down and the temperature to drop a little before you come out to work.

At this time, the letter arrived.

Yang Chengying shook the fan while reading the letter.

"General He, what do you think about this?" He handed the letter to He Kegang.

He Kegang took a cursory look at it and responded: "Marshal, General Meng's worries are justified. If we don't surrender these rebels, they will die by the sword.

If they surrender, they will cause great harm to the local people, and they will arouse the resentment of the local people.

In addition, if they are not rectified, these free and comfortable people will not be able to stand the military discipline of our army, and they will most likely cause harm to the localities. ”

"yes. If we go too far, we will lose the hearts and minds of the people of Shandong. If we punish too harshly, it may lead to a second mutiny. ”

Yang Chengying shook his fan, thinking about how to solve this problem.

He Kegang handed the letter to Su Xiaojing.

After Su Xiaojing saw it, there was no good way.

"There it is!" Yang Chengying said with a smile, "We can hold a meeting, divide the prisoners into countless squads according to the team, hold a meeting, and educate them ideologically." ”

"Thoughts? Educate? ”

He Kegang and Su Xiaojing looked at each other, not quite understanding the meaning of the words.

"First of all, we need to pull out the most vicious of the rebels. In front of the people of Shandong, he counted the charges and beheaded them to show the public. ”

Yang Chengying said: "For the second-class, give the flail to show the public." Again, it is necessary to criticize education and allow meritorious service to be punished.

Those who have done nothing bad, but have done a good thing, should be rewarded.

For those who are coerced but not stained with blood, they can be allowed to retire from the army, and those who have families can bring their families to Liaoxi to be ordinary people. ”

He Kegang, Su Xiaojing and others understood, this is called clear rewards and punishments, and military discipline is rectified.

"The soldiers who remain are to complain, to allow them to speak out what happened to them, to soothe their emotions."

Yang Chengying said very firmly: "An army with combat effectiveness must be a vigorous army. ”

Anger is a positive word here and refers to vitality.

Just like in the Water Margin, Jin Cuilian suffered injustice, and Luda was angry, so Jin Cuilian's father and daughter were saved. Chai Huangcheng was bullied by Yin Tianxi and died of anger, Li Kui got angry and killed Yin Tianxi, who was fighting with people.

A vibrant family is hopeful.

"Wonderful!"

He Kegang and others applauded.

"So, what about the rebels on Godtown Island?" Su Xiaojing asked.

"It's easy to do, I'll be detained first. When the rebellion is put down, bring the families of these rebels with them and come to Liaodong. ”

Yang Chengying said: "Before coming, we must also hold a meeting to rectify military discipline. ”

He Kegang and Su Xiaojing both nodded, thinking that it was feasible.

Yang Chengying took back the letter, then told the clerk, wrote a letter, and clearly recorded his opinions.

After the document was written, Yang Chengying looked at it to make sure that there was no big problem, and then found the beacon soldier who was responsible for delivering the letter.

He told the Beacon Post soldiers: "You send three letters to Quang Ninh, and ask Mr. Fan and General Zu to express their opinions, and then send them to General Meng together." ”

"Yes." The postman straightened his back, took the three letters with both hands, rolled them up and put them into a wooden tube specially designed to store the letters.

Close the lid and stick a piece of paper around the connection between the lid and the wooden tube to show that it is not in the hands of the recipient and never open it.

Then, with his back diagonally on his back, he joined up with his four companions.

The five men turned over and got on their horses, and the pegasus went away, and the small flag on their backs was waving in the wind.

Seeing them go away, Yang Chengying said, "I have one more thing I want to tell you. ”

"Commander, please speak." He Kegang said.

"As you know, my son is about to turn one year old. It's August, and there's still a month to go before the harvest. ”

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "I want to hold a sports meeting like last time." And it's not just running, but pull-ups, push-ups, sit-ups, etc. ”

"That's a good thing." He Kegang said with a smile: "Coincidentally, I heard that the envoys of the Li Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom are already on their way here, so I can invite them to participate together." ”

"That's what I mean."

Yang Chengying said: "I plan to personally write a letter to Inspector Sun and invite him to come. ”

"Where's the venue?" Su Xiaojing asked.

"It's in Quang Ninh, right in the middle of western and southern Liaoning."

Yang Chengying said: "When the time comes, we will hold an opening ceremony and hold a team entrance ceremony. ”

"Entrance ceremony?"

"Team!"

He Kegang and the others were taken aback.

"Our Liaodong Town is so big, we can't be as rash as the first one. Let the people of each thousand households participate freely, and then come to the competition on behalf of the thousand households. ”

Yang Chengying said: "Gather on the second day of the eighth month to carry out the entrance ceremony. On the second day, each team participated in the competition according to the selected project, and a professional referee decided the winner. ”

"It's good, it's good, and in doing so, isn't it losing the essence of national participation."

Su Xiaojing said worriedly.

"There is no limit to the entry threshold, only the number of people."

Yang Chengying said: "After all, even if I don't make a representative team, it is impossible for all people to participate. ”

"In that case, handsome! Why don't we broaden the project. ”

He Kegang came up with an idea: "We can engage in archery, horse riding, and textile competitions." ”

"Yes, there are also group performances, such as the soldiers' collective drill of military gymnastics, and the 400-meter hurdle."

Yang Chengying's head was suddenly stimulated.

He stood up, "You're busy here, I'm going to design the second sports meeting well." ”

He Kegang and others got up to send each other.

Houjin's delay in moving is related to his domestic production. After the autumn harvest in September, Houjin will definitely be dispatched.

If you want to avoid the dilemma of facing Inspector Yuan, there is only one way.

That's the initiative to attack!

This time, it's much bigger than before.

Before a life-and-death decisive battle, holding such a huge sports meeting has an immeasurable effect on boosting morale and strengthening cohesion.

Back in the study, Yang Chengying began to design the etiquette and flags of the second Games, as well as the rules of the competition.

In addition, he also thought of one thing that would be done in ancient and modern times, military parades.

Just when Liaodong was preparing for the Games, the orders signed by Fan Wencheng and Zu Dashou were sent to Meng Qiaofang.

After Meng Qiaofang saw it, she shouted, "Wonderful."

attracted the attention of Liu Zhilun and others.

"What the boss wants us to do must be done quickly, I guess in a few days, my mother will not be in the mood to do this."

Meng Qiaofang gave the letter to Ma Guangyuan, Liu Zhilun, Huo Weihua and others.
