0459 [Pharmacist Guo's Loyalty]
It has been four days since Pharmacist Guo led his troops to surrender, and if he really treated everyone equally, he was placed in Zhu Ming's camp. The troops that made room for them moved to Xianping County en masse and stationed there.
In addition, a special space was set aside for raising and caring for the captured war horses, and the horses of Guo Yaoshi's department were also raised there.
A veterinarian was temporarily divided, as well as several cavalry logistics for Guo Yaoshi to dispatch.
There are also clerks, logistics officers and military judges, who are also equipped with Guo Yaoshi, and the food and salary of the non-commissioned officers are temporarily distributed by the logistics officer, and the military salary standard is the same as that of Geng Zhongnian's Hebei cavalry.
The military judge gave Guo Yaoshi a pamphlet, which not only indicated the general military discipline, but also the rules and regulations for stationing, drilling, marching, and fighting.
After spending a whole day reading and understanding carefully, Pharmacist Guo felt that there were so many rules here.
"Finished reading the rules?" Registrar Li Guangwen asked.
Pharmacist Guo nodded: "I've finished reading." ”
Li Guangwen said: "You are newly surrendered, and you can explain the military discipline to the soldiers yourself." If we were to talk about it, the soldiers would have felt that they were deliberately making things difficult. ”
"No problem, I'll let the soldiers remember one by one." Pharmacist Guo felt pretty good. The officers here are very considerate of their own and the soldiers' thoughts, and they are not forced to do this and that as soon as they come up.
Contrary to the Jin people, Wanyan Zongwang didn't set any rules, but when he gave orders, he didn't discuss with Pharmacist Guo at all, and he didn't care whether Pharmacist Guo was dissatisfied or not. He even tricked him into going to a meeting, taking the opportunity to separate him from the troops, and let him immediately set off as a pioneer with only the cavalry.
Li Guangwen said: "You are new here, you should be welcomed. The military art soldiers are performing for the people in the southern suburbs of Xianping County, and they will come back tomorrow to perform for the people. ”
"Military Artist? Acting? "Pharmacist Guo didn't understand.
Li Guangwen smiled: "You'll know when the time comes." Just remember one thing, there are a few girls in the military army, and don't mess around with your soldiers. That's all treasures, if you provoke them, even if the military law doesn't deal with it, the soldiers of other troops will trouble you. Especially the soldiers under Han Shizhong and He Ji, most of them were from homeless backgrounds, and they treated the girls of the military art soldiers as aunts and grandmothers. ”
In the afternoon of the next day, Guo Yaoshi finally knew what a military art soldier was, that is, a group of military actors with an establishment.
About 700 cavalrymen of the Changsheng Army were taken to the theater by Guo Yaoshi, and said to the officers: "Take good care of your soldiers, if anyone molests women, grandpa will kill him with his own hands!" ”
The actor is still playing "Nanyang Dream", the actor's accent is too strong, and the soldiers from Liaodong can't understand it, so they can only guess to understand.
But it doesn't matter!
Most of the resentful soldiers are from homeless backgrounds, and they have a strong sense of substitution when watching the play.
When Song Huizong and Cai Jing appeared, they were automatically understood as Emperor Tianzuo and the nobles of the Liao State, and the local gentry were understood as the great clans of Liaodong.
is also a traitorous minister, the same is a tyrannical extortion, the same family is ruined, and the same is a difficult escape......
It's just that the characters in the play are lucky to survive, at least there is Nanyang wasteland for them to reclaim, and the Zhu father and son provide shelter to live in peace. And what about them? Surrounded by wolves, even if you get land, you can't live in peace, and you don't know when you will be a head all day long.
When the heroine died, many of the soldiers under the command of Guo Yaoshi couldn't help but red their eyes and began to cry.
These guys have bloody hands on their hands, and they don't know how many people they have killed, and they have long been hard-hearted. But the scene on the stage touched the softest place in their hearts, that is, the wife before joining the army was separated and the family was ruined.
Some people think of their parents, some people think of their brothers, some think of their wives and children.
Pharmacist Guo looked at the reaction of his subordinates, and finally understood why Li Guangwen said that. Han Shizhong and He Ji's corporal are mostly from homeless backgrounds, and they must treat actresses as aunts and grandmothers, and it is estimated that after a few more performances, there will be a few more aunts and grandmothers in his Guo Yaoshi's soldiers.
"This is the art of attacking the heart, attacking the heart of the soldier!" Pharmacist Guo secretly sighed.
The reaction of these thugs was obviously not so violent, and no one cried loudly on the spot. Even a few people secretly wiped their tears, and the rest only had moist eyes, but they all watched intently until the end.
In the end, all the actors appeared on the stage together, welcomed Guo Yaoshi and the soldiers, and briefly talked about the idea of building the army of the Xiachuan Gorge Righteous Army.
Then the actors walked off the stage and shook hands with the soldiers one by one.
This strange etiquette was quickly accepted by the officers and men of the victorious army, and it felt particularly fresh and cordial.
Afterwards, Guo Yaoshi called the officers: "How do you feel?" ”
"It's much better not to treat us as outsiders than to stay in Jinying." Said an officer.
Another officer said: "It's a pity that my family members are in Youzhou, if I can bring them here, I can follow Marshal Zhu to fight with peace of mind." ”
"Alas, I'm afraid I won't be able to pick it up." Another officer sighed.
Most of the family members of these thugs married wives and had children in Yanjing after the Song Dynasty. Their hometown is in Liaodong, but their families are in Yanjing, and they already regard Yanjing as their second hometown, and no matter how hard-hearted they are, they will feel homesick.
Pharmacist Guo said: "What are you doing with a sad face? Big deal to kill back! ”
Easier said than done, everyone knows that there is little hope, at least not for a year or two.
Without their care, will the wife and children really be alive after a year or two?
Even if he is alive, I am afraid that he will remarry with his children.
The next day, Guo Yaoshi went to the wounded barracks to visit Zhen Wuchen and other wounded patients.
The infantry generals are all in Jinying, led by Guo Yaoshi's son, and Zhen Wuchen is already the top general by Guo Yaoshi's side.
"How's it going here?" Pharmacist Guo asked.
Zhen Wuchen smiled and said, "I don't want to leave if I stay." ”
Pharmacist Guo said speechlessly: "I haven't seen anyone who is in the wounded barracks and doesn't leave." ”
"It's very good here, I met a goddess fairy." Zhen Wuchen told Pharmacist Guo about his experience in the past two or three days.
Guo Yaoshi also talked about watching the play, and couldn't help but sigh: "This Marshal Zhu is very good at commanding troops, and he is even better at buying people's hearts, no wonder his soldiers can fight to the death and never retreat." ”
Zhen Wuchen said in a low voice: "Marshal, let's follow Marshal Zhu to fight, we can't go elsewhere." Throwing back and forth, life is not stable, and the military spirit cannot be settled. Many soldiers were reluctant to marry wives in Youzhou, and when they wanted a woman, they went to find camp prostitutes, and when they received military salaries, they drank and gambled, and they couldn't wait to spend all their money in one day. In fact, everyone wants to live in peace, who doesn't want to have a head? ”
"Do you think Lao Tzu doesn't want to live a stable life?" Pharmacist Guo didn't have a good breath, "Invest in Song today, invest in gold tomorrow, it's my reputation that will be ruined!" Judging from the current situation, this Marshal Zhu is not bad, as long as he can keep his brothers, I can bear being bullied by the southern generals. If you really force us to death, then we can only do the opposite, and we can't fight for our lives. ”
Zhen Wuchen sighed, and then said: "I have talked a lot with the wounded soldiers here, they are different from the soldiers in other places. ”
"What's different?" Pharmacist Guo asked.
"That's it...... I just don't want anything else," Zhen Wuchen said his opinion, "What they think about all day long is the land at home, as well as the wives and children at home. ”
Pharmacist Guo laughed and said, "Who doesn't think so? ”
"It's really different," Zhen Wuchen didn't know how to say it, "What do you mean by that...... By the way, they call it a family of soldiers and civilians, that is, they are their own people with the common people. I think that they regard themselves as ordinary people, which is different from the soldiers of the Northland, and different from the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom. ”
Guo Yaoshi said: "It's all the same, the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom are also the people when they take off their armor. It's just that the people of the Jin Kingdom don't treat the people of the Song Dynasty as human beings. ”
Zhen Wuchen scratched his ears and cheeks: "I'll talk about it when I figure it out." ”
Leaving the wounded barracks, as soon as Pharmacist Guo returned to the camp, he was called by the military judge Sang Zhiyu.
Sang Zhiyu said: "More than a dozen soldiers left the camp without permission and were caught red-handed by me. They claimed to be addicted to alcohol and were going to the county seat to buy alcohol to drink. These soldiers don't have any money on them, and they haven't been paid their salaries yet, so how can they buy wine when they go to the county seat? First, leaving the camp without permission must have made a big mistake; Second, alcohol is forbidden in the army, but they have not drunk it, so there is no punishment; Third, they are not allowed to forcibly buy the goods of the people, let alone extort the goods of the people, I guess most of them want to do this, but they are still exempt from punishment if they have not done it. ”
"Punish as you punish." Pharmacist Guo also has a headache.
Many of the soldiers under his command were in a state of getting by, and they didn't even marry wives when they were in Youzhou. Every month, when the military salary is paid, he does three things: prostitution, drinking, and gambling.
Often, after two or three days of military salaries, they have already been spent, and the rest of the days are mixed up by monthly rations and borrowed money.
Sang Zhiyu said: "I just came here to be a military judge, and I haven't memorized the military rules of the sergeants. First, to avoid punishment for not teaching, and second, for fear of their resistance, the punishment for leaving the camp without permission this time was halved, and General Guo needed to come forward to punish him. ”
"Brother Sang is thoughtful," Pharmacist Guo felt that Sang Zhiyu was experienced in doing things and thoughtful in all aspects, so he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Sang's talent, how can he be sent to manage my hundreds of people?" ”
Sang Zhiyu said with a smile: "Just a few days ago, I was the adjutant of the marshal's own army. General Guo himself thinks about how much the marshal attaches importance to Your Excellency, and hopes that General Guo will not disappoint the marshal's painstaking efforts. ”
Guo Yaoshi was greatly surprised, this Sang Zhiyu turned out to be a military judge directly under Zhu Ming.
must have been afraid that something would go wrong, so he sent a very capable person over, which made Pharmacist Guo more at ease, because Zhu Ming really wanted to accept himself.
Guo Yaoshi asked: "Brother Sang behaves calmly and speaks reasonably, I'm afraid he is a child of the big clan, right?" ”
Sang Zhiyu said: "It's not a big family, there are only a few hundred acres of land at home." I was lucky enough to read some books, but I couldn't pass the exam. The marshal was too punctual in Jinzhou, and often went to the state school to give lectures and lectures, so I became a student of the marshal's introductory students. Later, when the marshal started the army, I did not go to civilian office, but made a military Chinese book under the marshal. ”
"It turned out to be a student of Marshal Langjun, disrespectful, disrespectful!" Pharmacist Guo hurriedly got up and made a move.
"Your soldiers, I've asked, all have the habit of drinking and prostituting," Sang Zhiyu said, "When they don't fight or practice, they have to find some pastime for them to vent their energy." There are Kakudua and Keju in the army, I plan to get a Kakuto team, and then a Keju team, and let them practice by themselves at ordinary times, and go to friendly forces to compete when they have time. ”
"You can get this." Pharmacist Guo said.
Sang Zhiyu said: "Every winter, all armies will compete. For the time being, only the corners and bows are compared, and the top three of each station are selected, and the marshal's office will be rewarded. ”
Corner is wrestling.
As for Keju, there were two kinds of games in the Song Dynasty: exhibition matches and confrontation matches. Zhu Ming changed the match, reducing the goal from several to one, and making the goal bigger, and making rules prohibiting pulling each other, which is probably a mixture of Song Dynasty juju and modern football.
Sang Zhiyu said: "The marshal revealed that this winter's big competition will also increase archery and running. Anyone below the school officer level can participate, and it will be very lively at that time. ”
"I'll make sure the soldiers are ready." Pharmacist Guo didn't take it too seriously.
Sang Zhiyu continued: "Since the issuance of the "Anti-Jin Zhuwen", some local strong men have come to join the army, and some of them can ride and shoot. In the previous battle, our cavalry suffered heavy losses, and priority must be given to replenishing the troops of the two generals, Deng and Chen. It is estimated that the cavalry under your command will not be replenished by a thousand until the end of the battle. The marshal said that he would make up 3,000 for you next year, but you must be prepared in your heart. ”
"What preparation?" Pharmacist Guo asked.
Sang Zhiyu said: "Your more than 700 cavalry will be transferred to other places next year." ”
Guo Yaoshi reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "I listen to the marshal." ”
He had more than 700 cavalry left, and he had to send 200 to leave, and then he would make up 3,000. It is equal to the 3,000 cavalry commanded next year, and only 500 old subordinates are left, and the military law and food and salary are all managed by Zhu Ming's people.
Don't think about being a soldier anymore, let's be an honest general.
It's just this kind of thing, Zhu Ming said it a year in advance, so that Pharmacist Guo had a good psychological preparation.
What else can Pharmacist Guo do?
Of course, it is to hurry up to show loyalty and prove that you don't think too much!
Guo Yaoshi said: "I want to see Marshal Langjun, there are still thousands of elites in Jinying." Once there is a fight, I am sure that they will turn against each other! ”
