It's tragic!

The fortifications of the passages in the village are very simple, just demolished the houses in the village and built them with clods of earth and wood. It can only hinder the cavalry charge, and it can't stop the infantry from crossing at all, and it is completely dependent on people to carry the attack.

And the corpses of the victorious army, which had already lost their breath, were also used by their companions to build fortifications.

These guys were almost numb, even if they knew that Zhu Ming was coming to save them, and their lives were no longer in danger, they couldn't see much expression fluctuation on their faces.

One by one, they were lying down or leaning, resting and napping in place.

It wasn't until they heard that Pharmacist Guo was also here that they finally showed some joy. But only the generals stood up to greet them, and the soldiers still lay down and rested, and did not show much respect to Guo Yaoshi.

Juming asked the army to camp nearby, and the cavalry was sent out to reconnoitre.

Before dark, Bai Sheng came to report and said: "In addition to Guo Yaoshi's descendants, some of these are Zhao Heshou's army. When he was ordered to attack Chenliu, there were about 8,000, and he decided to defect after suffering heavy casualties. At that time, about 7,000 people fled, and now all of them are wounded, more than 2,000 people in the village are angry, more than 1,000 are seriously injured, and hundreds of people are dying in the wilderness when they flee. Hundreds of others passed out from minor injuries but bleeding profusely. The military doctor said that even if they were treated with all their might, at most three or four thousand people would still be able to fight, and many of them would have to live with disabilities for the rest of their lives. ”

"Heal as much as you can." Zhu Ming said.

Not long after, Pharmacist Guo came over with his son and generals who had bandaged his wounds.

"Meet Marshal Lang Jun!" The crowd saluted.

When Zhu Ming first entered the village, they had already paid homage, but after a few words, they went to treat their injuries.

Personally helping several generals up, Zhu Ming said: "Since you are against the Jin people, you are no longer an enemy." As long as the wounded soldiers do not die, I will do my best to heal them. Taking you back to Yanjing will not be possible for the time being within a year or two. I accept if I am willing to serve, but I must obey military orders. The ugly words are ahead, you and your subordinates, if you are willing to obey the military order, you can continue to fight in the army, and you must be punished in the future. ”

Glancing at the generals, Zhu Ming continued: "If you don't obey, speak out as soon as possible, I won't embarrass you." Jingbei Road is full of borderless land, and I plan to place the veterans in a village somewhere, and lend you some rations and seeds, and you will be exempt from taxes for the first two years of farming. General Guo, they may not believe my words, so I will arrange it myself. ”

"Yes!" Pharmacist Guo led these people away again.

Judging from the reactions of the generals to the soldiers, Zhu Ming knew that it was useless to say anything, and they would not believe it if you poured out your heart and lungs.

Or rather, they won't trust anyone anymore!

Then simply make it clear directly, those who are willing to obey the management will stay as soldiers, and those who are not obedient will be placed in the countryside to farm.

As for the disabled, Zhu Ming didn't bother to care, he didn't have that obligation, and Pharmacist Guo would find a way to solve it by himself.

"Dad, what does this Marshal Zhu mean?" Guo Anguo asked.

Guo Yaoshi said: "That's what he meant, I have a clerk and a military judge under my command, and I have gotten along quite well these days." According to what they said, if Marshal Zhu made his words clear, it would mean that everything must be carried out. Military discipline here is very strict, and if you want to stay and continue to be a soldier, you have to change your past habits. ”

"I'm afraid that we are taking the opportunity to disperse our troops, and we will definitely start to completely annex them in the future!" Zhao Heshou guessed.

Guo Yaoshi shook his head: "Marshal Zhu is not short of these soldiers, he has the rules here first, and he must make it clear, and if someone violates it, he will deal with it." If you don't understand the rules, even if someone violates them, you will be punished lightly. The four words are clear in rewards and punishments. ”

Guo Changxian was surprised: "It's only been less than ten days, and my brother has been taken in by Marshal Zhu?" ”

Pharmacist Guo smiled bitterly: "The rules stand there, there is only obedience and disobedience, how can there be anything that cannot be accepted?" I took the cavalry with me, and I was neither particularly taken seriously nor subjected to any humiliation, but anyway, I did everything according to the rules without discrimination. ”

"Hehe, but I don't believe it, is it true that everyone talks about the rules, and the soldiers here are not selfish?" Zhao Heshou sneered.

Pharmacist Guo said: "There must be selfishness, and there must be distant relatives, but what you want to do must first abide by the rules." ”

Zhou Kui said: "Whatever, it's good if he can live." As long as he doesn't force me to die, and doesn't deduct my salary, he will abide by the rules if he keeps the rules, and he is not ambiguous when he lets me fight a tough battle. ”

"Alas, the rules here are not easy to follow," Guo Yaoshi sighed, "Drinking and gambling are not allowed in the army, and your corporal is forbidden?" In less than 10 days, I have personally punished dozens of people. Those bastards didn't have any money on them, but they could actually gamble and bet on next month's military salary. ”

Zhou Kuiwei shouted: "If you don't drink or gamble, what's the point of being a soldier?" ”

Guo Yaoshi said: "It's just that you are not allowed to do this in the barracks, and no one will take care of it after leaving the barracks." However, they are not allowed to leave the camp without authorization, and they must be released on holidays. ”

"That's okay, it's enough to have a place to drink and gamble." Zhou Kui said with a smile.

Zhao Heshou stopped talking, Guo Yaoshi talked a lot, and he basically understood what was going on with Zhu Ming.

Military discipline is strict, rewards and punishments are clear, warlords don't want to be anymore, and it is impossible to give territory.

Guo Anguo asked: "What official position did my father get?" ”

Guo Yaoshi said: "With the rank of lieutenant colonel, the commander of the cavalry regiment is temporarily formed. When it is added to fifteen hundred rides, it will no longer be called a provisional number, but a correct name. ”

"What is the lieutenant colonel?" Guo Anguo said confusedly.

"Probably similar to Captain Zhaowu." Pharmacist Guo said.

Zhao Heshou said angrily: "The marshal has a resounding prestige in the north, and the one surnamed Zhu is only given to be the captain of Zhaowu?" ”

"You know what a fart," Pharmacist Guo said with a smile, "This Zhu father and son are neither emperors nor kings, how big of an official can they be?" There were only three major generals in the whole army, followed by more than a dozen colonels, and then lieutenant colonels like me. I asked Brother Sang, who enforces military law, and he said that as long as he makes meritorious service, he will definitely be promoted. With the elite soldiers under our command, it is not easy to make meritorious contributions? After a few battles, Lao Tzu will definitely be promoted to colonel! ”

"You won't be greedy for military merit, right? The Song people often did this. Zhao Heshou said worriedly.

Guo Yaoshi shook his head: "It shouldn't be, Marshal Zhu values rules the most, this is the foundation of his army." Once the rules are broken, the military spirit is broken, and he is not so stupid. ”

When the Jin people sent troops, Song Huizong, Tong Guan, Cai You and others planned to canonize Guo Yaoshi as the king of Yan.

It's just that before the canonization edict was issued, the news came that Guo Yaoshi betrayed the Song Dynasty and lowered the gold.

A warlord who was about to be crowned king, after being pinched by the Jin people, not only did he not get any high-ranking officials, but he was also sent to be a pioneer, and he had to do everything with hard work. Encountering this situation, Guo Yaoshi's first reaction was not to rebel, but to make desperate meritorious contributions to win Yan Zongwang's trust.

In comparison, Zhu Ming gave a lieutenant colonel rank, which can be regarded as extremely favorable.

It is true that this person is unruly and unpretentious, and he is not familiar with it. But he is a person who is afraid of the strong in his bones, as long as you are strong enough, Pharmacist Guo is actually very easy to deal with.

It's the harder ones who are really tough.

Those soldiers have their own will, and when they are deprived of military salaries or suffer abnormal treatment, they will join forces to make collective trouble, or even coerce the generals to rebel.

If it weren't for the cavalry under his command who didn't obey the military orders, how could Guo Yaoshi betray the Jin people on the battlefield that day?

If Zhu Ming discriminates against and abuses the victorious army who surrendered, or forces them to die, or withholds food and salary for a long time, even if Guo Yaoshi wants to be a loyal minister, he will be coerced by the soldiers to be a second or fifth boy. This problem seems to be easy to solve, but it is just a normal treatment that does not discriminate equally. But the Song State will never be able to solve it, and the Jin State will definitely discriminate against them, but it is a completely unsolvable problem.

……

Chen Liu.

"Supervisor Chen, General Li is here." A scribe reminded.

Chen Youyi was woken up in a daze, he turned over and got up, only to see a thief general, with a group of soldiers from the horse road to the city wall.

Li Bao bowed his hand and greeted himself, and reported his identity: "Chen Jian Jiu, I am Li Bao, and I am General Ning Yuan." ”

Zhang Guangdao, Li Bao and Yang Zhi, as the three major generals of the Sichuan Gorge Righteous Army, were still very famous in the Song Kingdom.

Chen Youyi said: "Thank you General Li for bringing troops to rescue, and the people of Chen were saved." ”

"I've inquired, you're a good official," Li Bao said with a smile, "The other officials have escaped from you, and you can still recruit troops to defend the city." usually collects alcohol tax, and it also follows the rules, and does not rely on official authority to blackmail businessmen. Such a good official, why should he give his life to the faint king? I am the coach of the road, and when there is a shortage of civil officials, I can appoint civilian officials on a temporary basis. If you are willing to be reformed, you can be the chief officer of this Chen Liu, and then you will be rewarded for your merits and promotion after the war. ”

Chen Youyi refused: "I also hope that the general will treat the people of Chen Liu, since the Jin soldiers have retreated, it is time to return to their hometown and retreat." ”

Li Bao asked, "Where is your hometown?" ”

"My ancestral home is Chang'an, and now I am from Luoyang." Chen Youyi said.

"It's all a good place," Li Bao said with a smile, "It's just that Chang'an is estimated to be occupied by our army, and Luoyang is also a matter of time." Even if Mr. Chen returned to his hometown to live in seclusion, he was still a common man under the rule of Zhu Xianggong and Marshal Zhu. Instead of living in seclusion and being a common man, why not be an official for the benefit of all people? ”

Chen Youyi said: "Don't dare to insult your ancestors. ”

Chen Youyi's great-grandfather is called Chen Xiliang, who is upright and upright, dares to offend the powerful, and even offends the emperor, and has been demoted and dismissed many times. When he was ordered to control the Yellow River, he always lived in the place where it was about to burst, so as to motivate the government and the people to do their best to fight the flood.

He is also an engineer, a bridge in Suzhou is always washed away by floods, Chen Xiliang after inspecting the field, he personally designed and built the bridge, and the bridge will no longer collapse no matter how big the flood is.

Due to its excellent performance, the imperial court ordered the promotion, from Kaifeng to Sizhou, the Bianhe River all adopted the bridge style designed by Chen Xiliang.

Li Bao asked, "Your Excellency has read the "Anti-Jin Essay"? I remember that in the surrounding states and counties of Kaifeng, there are many meticulous works by our army, and I should be able to paste the text to the city. Dead country and dead world, can't Mr. Chen tell the difference? If you continue to let the faint monarch rule China, you will have to worry about the death of the world! Mr. Chen didn't have to make a decision immediately, but he could go and meet Marshal Zhu first. ”

His friend and Bole Ge Shengzhong threw himself into a thief, which brought Chen Youyi a great shock, and he had already loosened his mind.

Without giving Li Bao an accurate answer, Chen Youyi left the city wall and returned to his residence.

There were righteous soldiers along the way to maintain law and order, and there was no harassment of the people, which was much more behaving than the officers and soldiers.

Less than an hour after Jin Bing left, order was restored in Chen Liucheng, and all the shops were reopened, and those who met soldiers dared to take the initiative to solicit business.

Seeing this situation, Chen Youyi suddenly felt that there was nothing terrible about changing the dynasty.

It's even better!

In fact, among the three major generals under Zhu Ming's command, Li Bao's troops had the worst military discipline......
