Of course there will be resistance.
No one would really close their eyes and wait to be killed.
But the Han soldiers are very strong.
Zhang Zhen's group of Han soldiers were the imperial bodyguards of King Wu Nian of Han Dynasty. Terribly strong. In particular, the general in charge of the army was Zhang Zhen.
"Kill!!" Zhang Zhen took the lead, holding a horse spear and mercilessly slashing at all the rebel soldiers he encountered. He killed more than ten people in the blink of an eye. Wherever the Han soldiers passed, blood and corpses covered the ground.
This was like a basin of cold water poured on the heads of the rebels, allowing them to finally recognize who it was, and then they all knelt down and begged for mercy.
Zhang Zhen saw this and did not continue killing. Turning his head to look at Lu Yanxun, Lu Yanxun nodded and followed Zhang Zhen's order.
The soldiers were driven out of the military camp, and then officers such as Qianhu and Baihu were kidnapped.
Not long after.
On a flat piece of land.
Zhang Zhen is located in the north, facing south, sitting on a small bench. Lu Yanxun stood on his left and Jin Tie stood on his right.
Surrounded by the soldiers of Sushun Wanhu, in front were the tied up criminal officers such as Qianhu and Baihu.
Qimin, Dorbo and the leaders of the eastern tribes, surrounded by their respective guards, came to the central position and sat down in two rows on the left and right in front of Zhang Zhen.
Qi Min remained calm, while the other tribal leaders were trembling with fear.
Zhang Zhen imagined his uncle's majestic image in his mind, adjusted his expression, raised his head and looked at the tribal leader in front, and said: "My army's loose military discipline makes you laugh."
The other tribal leaders were frightened and did not speak. Qi Min clasped his fists and said, "Marquis Sushun is joking. Our military discipline is very loose. We dare not laugh at Marquis Sushun."
Zhang Zhen glanced at Qi Min, nodded slightly, and said: "Chi Guihou is indeed an outstanding figure in the East, he can face his own weaknesses."
"Marquis Sushun's words are serious," Qi Min said quickly.
The development of things was beyond his imagination. Hauge's death was like a meteor, catching people off guard. Zhang Zhen's rise was as dramatic as a landslide.
Now he has completely given up the idea of competing with Sushun.
Zhang Zhen withdrew his gaze, looked at the tribal leaders again, and said in a deep voice: "Marquis Chigui said well. There is a problem with our military discipline."
"My uncle, the King of Han, once said: An army without military discipline, no matter how brave and skilled it is, is just a castle in the air and vulnerable to a single attack."
"Although Meng Yuan burned, killed, and looted, military discipline has always been good. They followed orders and burned, killed, and looted in an organized way."
"Not to mention the Han soldiers. As long as my uncle gives the order, there will be mountains of swords and seas of blood, and the Han soldiers will send troops to attack without hesitation."
"Whoever kills Zhu Changsong will be the leader of the alliance. This is our consensus. Now I have killed Zhu Changsong. I am the leader of the alliance. You will not break your promise, right?"
Zhang Zhen's expression gradually became serious, completely different from his image and temperament when he was a mediator.
It has its own power.
Lu Yanxun glanced at Zhang Zhen and snickered in his heart. This behavior is so obvious, you are a great imitator.
The tribal leaders lowered their heads to show their submission.
"Start with Wanhu of our Sushun Department." Zhang Zhen nodded with satisfaction, then raised his head to look at the tied-up Qianhu, Xiaoqi and other officers, and ordered: "Military law. Anyone who disobeys military orders will be killed without mercy."
"Slaughter them."
"Yes." Lu Yanxun responded loudly with his right hand on his hips and his left hand holding the handle of the knife at his waist. Leading the Han army to go up, these people will be executed on the spot.
"Master Hou, Master Hou. I am your uncle in the capital. Please spare me, please spare me." A member of the Qianhu family shouted with a pale face.
Lu Yanxun looked at this man contemptuously.
Although Zhang Zhen sometimes has soft-heartedness, he also knows that "kindness cannot control soldiers." We grew up reading military books and hearing stories about the king leading his troops into a fierce battle with the Meng Yuan Dynasty.
The Han soldiers did not hesitate. In full view of Sushun Wanhu's soldiers, they killed these Qianhu, Baihu, Zongqi, Xiaoqi and other officers.
When all the soldiers saw this, they felt chills all over their bodies, and looked at Zhang Zhen with eyes full of awe.
These are all nobles, the superior beings in the tribe. Just like a dog, it was slaughtered.
The officers who followed the order and retreated were even more grateful. If we had been jealous at that time and were greedy for loot, I'm afraid we would have ended up like this.
Barbarians.
Awe of power but not moral.
If it is a Han soldier.
Zhang Zhen would not be so simple and crude.
No.
This kind of thing would not happen to Han soldiers. Han soldiers will not be sent to the battlefield immediately without training. They will be trained by the Ministry of War and have certain military discipline before they are handed over to the generals.
This kind of thing would happen only to Sushun people who rushed into the army in a hurry and did not have any military discipline.
Zhang Zhen is not afraid that his rudeness will provoke a mutiny. Firstly, the King of Han is strong enough; secondly, he is strong enough.
Third, he had Lu Yanxun and other hundreds of Han soldiers beside him as personal soldiers.
The truly talented Jin Tie of the Fourth Sushun Department stood by his side.
The fifth new military merit group will replace the original aristocratic system.
When someone falls, someone will take over. Those who are promoted will definitely be grateful to him.
How to lead an army.
Zhang Zhen has both rich theoretical knowledge and certain practical experience.
After all the criminals were killed, the scene fell silent. Zhang Zhen's strong voice sounded.
"Just now I sent people to watch the attacking warriors. Whoever is brave and good at fighting will die on the battlefield. I know it all."
"The tribe is in great difficulty at the moment. But for the warriors who died in the battle, I will try my best to arrange a compensation package so that their wives and children will not feel cold."
"And promote those who are brave and capable of fighting."
"Now I promote them in front of you."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Zhen, Lu Yanxun and others summarized the information and discussed it. New Qianhu, Baihu and other officers were immediately promoted to command the troops together with the original retained officers.
Ten seats were arranged for thousands of households, old and new, to sit down.
The newly promoted officers such as Qianhu and Baihu were all grateful to Zhang Zhen and full of enthusiasm for the war.
Originally they were just slaves, commoners, or children of the nobility who were not valued.
Now it's a leap to the sky.
The old officers were not affected by this purge. Zhang Zhen's prestige, coupled with the organization of his actions, won their support.
For a time, the military discipline of the army was solemn.
Everyone knows the truth.
Military orders cannot be disobeyed.
In the blink of an eye, Sushun Wanhu's combat effectiveness increased visibly.
immediately. Zhang Zhen also distributed the armor, sophisticated weapons, and war horses left by the Meng Yuan people equally to each thousand households.
The armor was first given to the newly promoted officers who did not have armor. Then, the officers were given the discretion to hand over the remaining armor to the brave soldiers.
For the food and other baggage in Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.
Zhang Zhen was also very generous. According to the different treatment for officers and soldiers, he calmly distributed it to thousands of households in Sushun.
He also fulfilled his promise, used the clan's property, compensated the warriors who died in the battle, and resettled the injured warriors.
The overall appearance of the army has undergone earth-shaking changes.
But it's not over yet.
Zhang Zhen's goal is not only to subdue tens of thousands of households, but also to the tens of thousands of troops currently in the tribal alliance. His eyes fell on the tribal leaders, making no secret of his strength. He said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I want you to come over and watch me clean up military discipline."
"I'm not asking you to just come and have a look."
"But let you learn my methods."
"You are not Han people. The rules of Han soldiers may not be suitable for you."
"So I'll summarize it roughly."
"Those with meritorious service will definitely be promoted."
"The materials captured will be rewarded to the soldiers as appropriate."
"Military orders are like mountains, and soldiers who disobey will be killed."
"The warriors who were injured or died in battle will definitely receive compensation. Even if it is extremely small."
"In this way, even if we don't have enough armor and weapons, the army will have a certain combat effectiveness."
"One day we will get supplies from the King of Han. The warriors of our eastern tribes are not inferior to the Tiger and Wolf divisions of Meng Yuan."
"Finally. A snake cannot survive without a head."
"I want to merge the armies of your tribes, big and small. Integrate them into three thousand households."
"The first is my sushun ten thousand households."
"The second is the Red Ghost Wanhu of the Red Ghost Marquis. Of course Qi Min will be the general."
"The remaining tribes will form the last ten thousand households. My brother, Lu Yanxun, will serve as the general."
Zhang Zhen pointed at Lu Yanxun and said in a pretentious manner: "This is my uncle's adopted son. You must not despise him."
Although Lu Yanxun was raised by Wu Nian, he was really not an adopted son.
Lu Yanxun came up with this crazy idea.
"Everyone is polite." Lu Yanxun raised his head, showing pride and confidence, and said to the tribal leaders with a fist in his arms.
Wu Nian's tiger skin is of course useful.
The tribal leaders, as well as Dorbo, all had solemn expressions on their faces and returned the salute to Lu Yanxun with clasped fists.
Some tribal leaders were dissatisfied with Zhang Zhen's order, but they were helpless under heavy pressure.
Zhang Zhen's bravery quickly formed the fighting power of thousands of households. Those pairs of eyes eager for military success and rewards frightened them.
The most powerful Red Ghost tribe, Red Ghost Hou Qimin, maintained military power. Will not be dissatisfied because of this.
The leader of the small tribe did not dare to resist at all.
Zhang Zhen looked at these tribal leaders and nodded with satisfaction. But soon, his expression became serious again.
Killing Wanhu Tianbuchi's vanguard was nothing.
Tian Yuan's tens of thousands of people are the real challenge.
Before Tian Yuan led his troops to arrive, he must consolidate his combat power.
uncle.
I will not let you down. I will continue to bleed Meng Yuan within the territory of Meng Yuan. Create opportunities for you.
We will definitely win the battle of Huanglong.
The military front of the Han Dynasty was invincible.
Zhang Zhen's purges outside the city were only preliminary, just an outline. Sushun lost many people in the battle and needed a lot of additional troops.
Lu Yanxun and Chigui Hou Qimin also have a lot of work to do.
Ten thousand households in Sushun entered the city. The remaining two tribes, tens of thousands of households, camped outside the city.
After Zhang Zhen entered the city, he encountered an unexpected trouble.
