Chapter 067
The governor means "to patrol the country and provide comfort to the people". He is the head of a province. The Chief Secretary, the Inspector General and the Metropolitan Commander are all subordinate officials to him.
However, the problem is that the prosecutor's office is in charge of local justice, which is equivalent to the public, prosecutorial and judicial organs in later generations. But the problem is that the inspector general's office can't control it, but he, Ning Haijun, is on guard.
Not to mention the Shandong Capital Command Department and the Shandong Preparatory Commission Command Department, which are in charge of military affairs, have no jurisdiction over Ning Haijun's military affairs. Because Ning Haijun was a pilot project of Sun Yuanhua in Shandong and was directly under his jurisdiction.
What does the deputy envoy of the Ministry of Justice want to see him for?
Ning Haijun wiped out more than 20 groups of bandits, large and small. Most of these bandits had dirty butts. There were several like Zhang Huairen in Zhensanshan who had powerful and gentry backgrounds.
Are you trying to cause trouble for him?
Cheng Shijie thought for a moment and said, "Is there any official document?"
"No, it's just a message!"
"Message?"
"yes!"
Cheng Shijie looked at Peng Jianhong and said: "Brother Peng, Ning Haijun's training mission is very heavy now. Mr. Futai wants to inspect Ning Haijun recently, and Cheng will not be able to leave. If there is a case in the Inspector's Office that requires Cheng's cooperation, please They produce official documents!”
Cheng Shijie would not obediently run to Dengzhou City just because the Deputy Chasi said a word.
In Ninghai City and Ninghai Prefecture, they basically belong to Cheng Shijie's territory. The originally desolate Ninghai Prefecture has now become one city and three towns, namely Wenquan Town, Tiechang Town and Daying Town. Daying Town refers to Here is the Ning Haijun camp in Zijin Mountain. Naturally, all the camp is filled with Ning Haijun officers and soldiers. However, about five miles south of the camp, a town mainly composed of Ning Haijun's family members was built.
Seeing Cheng Shijie's attitude, Peng Jianhong didn't say much. After all, Cheng Shijie was generous and got benefits every time he came. It was the same this time. When he came, he was empty-handed, but when he went back, he had more. A glazed teapot and four cups.
This set of tea sets could be sold for dozens of taels of silver if only a few were placed in Dengzhou City.
After Peng Jianhong left, Cheng Shijie held a plenary meeting of Ning Haijun officers. At the meeting, Cheng Shijie promulgated Ning Haijun's military rules.
"There is no rule without rules. Our Ning Haijun is different from other armies, so the military regulations are naturally different. After so many days of exploration, this defense has formulated the 28 Ning Haijun Military Rules."
Cheng Shijie divided the twenty-eight articles of Ning Haijun's military regulations that he had just printed out on the computer and printer he had brought from later generations.
Some officers were indeed illiterate and could only stare at the A4 paper in front of them.
"First of all, let me talk about the first article: All officers and soldiers of Ning Haijun must obey orders unconditionally. When the superior officer formally issues an order, he must implement it without questioning, even if the order is wrong!"
Shen Mingyu frowned slightly when he saw this. He slowly raised his hand: "Report!"
"speak!"
"Does this article need to be revised? How to execute the wrong order? One general is incompetent and will tire the entire army. If the wrong order is executed..."
"I'm afraid that all of you are confused about this. Let me first tell you why you have to execute the wrong order. First of all, I want to tell you that errors are actually a relatively contradictory issue. From different perspectives, they have different meanings. Cognition, you are all officers, and you all know that soldiers need strict training. Only by sweating more during training can they bleed less on the battlefield. But from the perspective of soldiers, they don’t want to train more, they just want to lie down! "
Cheng Shijie stood up and continued: "From the perspective of a cook, only one kind of meal is cooked every day. It is the simplest. The less rice you cook, the more comfortable you will be. This is human nature. However, from the perspective of the opposing soldiers, they I hope that the cook can cook delicious dishes, preferably dozens of dishes a day, and that they are different every day and can be eaten in different ways."
"Report!"
"speak!"
"Master Guard, this is not the same!"
"No, it's actually the same thing!"
Cheng Shijie said: "The wrong order depends on where you stand. When the cavalry of the Jiannu slaves rolls in like a stormy sea, your home is behind you. Even if you know that you will die, you will rush forward without hesitation. This is A correct order, but for soldiers whose homes are not in Ninghai Prefecture, they will think it is a wrong order, turn around and run away, and they may survive."
"This shouldn't happen, right?"
Cheng Shijie said: "As officers, when you are thinking, you must consider everything comprehensively and not leave any loopholes that can be exploited. Who has any questions?"
The officers said: "No problem!"
"Do you want to pass this article?"
"want!"
Cheng Shijie said: "Then let's look at the second article. Officers are not allowed to inflict any humiliating corporal punishment on soldiers, and are not allowed to accept any valuables or money from soldiers, let alone take the initiative. Violators will be dismissed from office, those who accept bribes, and those who practice favoritism. Severe punishment!"
This article was about military discipline for officers, and the officers present collectively fell into silence.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Shijie finally understood a truth. When the system was set up, the directions were very clear, just like one, but it made the officers very uncomfortable.
"Master Guards, you also know that some soldiers are just stupid, don't punish them, and don't have long memories!"
"Yeah yeah!"
The commander's words immediately aroused the approval of all the officers.
"Ahem..."
Cheng Shijie said: "Don't change the concept secretly. It's not allowed to impose humiliating punishments, not no punishments."
Seeing that they could no longer escape, the officers reluctantly agreed.
"Article 3. All members must pay attention to their appearance. Those who are disheveled, do not do good housekeeping, or do not pay attention to personal hygiene will be warned once, punished twice, and dismissed three times. The army will not accept sloppy guys and slackers!"
"agree!"
"Article 3 passed, let's start talking about Article 4..."
Since joining Ning Haijun, the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army have lived a very nourishing life. They can eat enough every day and wear thick cotton clothes. Even if they stand in the ice and snow, they don't feel the cold. The military uniforms of the Ning Navy officers include hats and gloves respectively. The gloves, in particular, are the favorites of the Dongjiang Army officers.
In the past, they did not have gloves, but hands are very important to a soldier. Once the hands are frostbitten, they cannot hold weapons or fight.
In order to protect their hands, they could only put their hands in their crotches to keep warm. The smell was so sour and refreshing. After more than ten days of recovery, the good days of these Ning Navy sailors have come to an end.
"Remember the key points of military posture: draw in your abdomen, lift your chest, put your fingers together on the outside of your thighs, don't look sideways, don't look like a hunchbacked old woman, show off your soldierly spirit!"
The veteran instructors began to train them in the first step, asking them to stand in a military posture, especially on the beach with the cold wind blowing. It was fine at first, but within half an hour, they felt very uncomfortable. After an hour, they felt that their thighs were not their own. .
Although the military posture was very uncomfortable, no one complained that they were tired, and no one was willing to quit. In this era, it is not easy to find a well-fed army.
Even if the Ming Dynasty devoted all its efforts to support Guan Ning's army with six to seven million taels of silver a year, he still couldn't have enough to eat. According to the military pay given to them by the imperial court, they would have no problem living and eating.
However, the problem is that part of the military pay of Guanning Army was lost when it was at the Ministry of Household Affairs, part of it was lost when it arrived at the Ministry of War, and at least a little more than a third was lost when it left the capital.
At this time, Liao's salary became the money bag of the Ming Dynasty civil servant group. There was deduction at every level, especially the leadership of the Guan Ning Army who got the money. All their generals drank the blood of the soldiers. Ten taels of silver were appropriated from the treasury, and not even half of the taels of silver fell on the soldiers. No wonder they couldn't eat. Full and not warm enough to wear.
In Ning Haijun, they learned that people need to eat three meals a day, they learned that cotton shoes are so warm, and they learned how enjoyable it is to take a bath and sleep.
"To the left!"
"turn right!"
"turn back!"
"Stay where you are...go!"
"Watch my flag, wave the red flag and move to the left, wave the black flag and move to the right, let's start!"
After finally getting through the military posture training, they started the atrocious formation training again, which made them dizzy.
The officer waved a small flag on the stage, and hundreds of soldiers responded to the flag and reacted in confusion, scurrying around like headless flies; many of them were like Ning Haijun's original recruits, they couldn't even tell the difference between left and right, and they always got it wrong.
However, the veteran instructors now have much experience, and the officer stepped on their toes hard: "Does it hurt? Just know it hurts. The foot that hurts is the right foot, and the foot that doesn't hurt is just the left foot. I call you If you turn right, turn to the side that hurts; if I ask you to turn left, turn to the side that doesn’t hurt!”
If you can't remember it, it's easier to do it. If it hurts a few times, you'll remember it.
The queues, military postures and internal affairs training made the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army miserable.
Especially the newly-introduced military discipline has a total of twenty-eight articles, all of which are fatal.
What makes these Dongjiang Army soldiers feel extremely uncomfortable is that the food and accommodation here are impeccable, and everyone is willing to abide by discipline. This is good, but the training queue is really painful.
After collective discussion with the officers, Cheng Shijie decided to fine-tune the establishment of Ning Haijun. One commander would keep the total number of five posts unchanged, but he would have three infantry posts under his jurisdiction: A, B, and C. The sentry is a thunder gun whistle, with eight thunder gun vehicles in total, and a regular ammunition supply of 1,920. Then there is gunpowder and lead shot, which are loaded on the battlefield. It can ensure the continuity of firepower.
However, one of the posts was split and a military law team was established. Twelve members of the military law team were responsible for maintaining military law throughout the department and supervising the military discipline of the soldiers in the post.
Establish a medical team, with a team doctor, ten ambulance soldiers, and five individual units, responsible for rescuing wounded soldiers throughout the company on the battlefield.
In a baggage corps, originally, all the members of the sentry almost fought with cold weapons and had very little dependence on logistics. However, as the crossbow equipment reaches people, specialized baggage soldiers are needed to transport the whole company's baggage and supplies.
A reconnaissance team selects soldiers who are good at scouting and reconnaissance from all the soldiers in the company. They serve as vanguards in wartime and are the eyes of the whole company.
Since then, the total number of people in the entire company has remained unchanged, but it only has four sentries and four directly affiliated teams.
The Zusi is the basic combat unit of the Ning Navy. Above the Zusi, there are four divisions with one general, and the general has a general, who leads a thousand people.
Cheng Shijie took charge of the central army and commanded the entire army.
Shen Mingyu, the general manager on the left, and Changyu, the general manager on the right.
The new soldiers will not form an army for the time being, so his adopted son Cheng Shi will be the former commander-in-chief, and Cheng Hu will be the rear commander-in-chief.
Ning Haijun entered into rigorous training to familiarize himself with the equipment and to fight with the cooperation of Thunder Guns. In the next half month, Thunder Guns can produce at least 60 more Thunder Guns.
At that time, Admiral Ning had one hundred and thirty-eight thunder cannons, capable of firing more than four thousand cannonballs in one salvo, which was equivalent to a fire cannon force of more than four thousand people.
At that time, Ning Haijun's firepower strike capability will surpass Sun Yuanhua's Denglai New Army, and will become the strongest army among the more than 200,000 troops in Shandong.
During the training process, Ninghai Haijun's Military Affairs Bureau also began to plan for wastelands, pastures, forests and other areas in Ninghai Prefecture, especially by distributing land deeds to soldiers with land rewards. On the 17th, after attracting refugees, there were already 63 farms and 100 households.
When famine spread across the land and refugees struggled, Ninghai Prefecture became their only hope.
"Benefactor!"
Liu San had been traveling all the way, and his face had several big cuts blown by the cold wind, making him look very embarrassed.
"Liu San, why are you here?"
Liu San said nervously: "My dear friend, something happened in Dengzhou City."
"What happened?"
"I heard that Mr. Futai became seriously ill after he fell into the water. All the famous doctors in Dengzhou were helpless. He may not be able to survive!"
The information Liu San could get was actually limited. He only heard it from hearsay. He only knew that on October 12th, Sun Yuanhua led the Denglai New Army to go to sea. On the 13th, he encountered a storm and accidentally fell into the water. Although the guards around him He rescued Sun Yuanhua with all his strength, especially Geng Zhongming who dived into the sea for a full stick of incense before pulling Sun Yuanhua out of the sea.
However, the problem is that the sea water is extremely cold at this time. No matter how good the water quality is, people cannot survive in the sea water for a quarter of an hour. After Sun Yuanhua was rescued, he soon suffered from wind and cold. In the words of the doctor, the invasion of cold evil will cause injuries. And the lungs.
Having been ill for eight days, Sun Yuanhua had less and less time to wake up. Some doctors even asked Sun Yuanhua to accompany Sun Fu to prepare for the funeral.
"My benefactor, if Mr. Futai is gone, you have to make preparations early."
Now in Dengzhou Prefecture, not all Shandong knows that Cheng Shijie is Sun Yuanhua's man. If Sun Yuanhua dies and a new governor comes, Cheng Shijie will definitely be the first to be eliminated.
The emperor and his ministers are the same. This is true for the imperial court and the same is true for local officialdom.
Cheng Shijie felt that he had to take action. While he was telling Liu San to go down and rest, he quickly prepared.
When cold evil enters the body, isn't it just a cold?
The more serious one is a viral cold. If the treatment is ineffective, Sun Yuanhua's physical condition is not good.
Cheng Shijie returned to the later world and purchased a large pack of cold medicine. Of course, the later-generation capsules could not be taken directly by Sun Yuanhua, so he had to remove the capsules, knead the medicinal powder, protein powder, and syrup inside into small balls, and then wrap them in the outer layer. Covered with chocolate.
Twelve copies were prepared. In order to prepare for emergencies, Cheng Shijie also purchased some commonly used medicines for trauma and colds, enough to fill a suitcase.
Speaking of which, medicines in later generations are really expensive. Those medicines cost him more than 30,000 yuan.
In order to rush for time, Cheng Shijie did not go to Dengzhou City by carriage, but braved the cold wind to go to Dengzhou City.
When Cheng Shijie arrived in Dengzhou City, he learned that Sun Yuanhua's health had improved and he could get up. When Sun Yuanhua learned of Cheng Shijie's arrival, he met him immediately.
"My lord, please pay homage to Mr. Futai!"
Cheng Shijie took out the medicine he had prepared and put it on the table: "This is the medicine that my disciples have painstakingly found. It is specially designed to treat wind evil entering the body."
"Shijie, you are determined!"
Although Sun Yuanhua improved, this illness emptied his body and made him look very tired.
Of course, the storm hit him hard. He didn't even see the shadow of the enemy. The storm caused 41 ships of the Dengzhou Navy to suffer varying degrees of damage, and 400 gunboats were damaged in one go. Thirteen ships were overturned, and a large ship with 3,000 materials had its mast blown off. The fallen mast flew more than 60 meters away like a kite and hit a Guangfu ship. This Guangfu ship was directly sunk.
As a result, 230 Denglai New Army soldiers and 24 artillery pieces on board sank to the bottom of the sea.
"Shijie, how is Ning Haijun now?"
Sun Yuanhua refused to give up his support for Liaodong. He was afraid that Zu Dashou would surrender and become slaves. Once Zu Dashou surrendered and became slaves, the Guanning Army would be divided like the Dongjiang Army. Relying solely on the Denglai New Army would not be able to complete the recovery of the four states in Liaodong. strategic tasks.
Cheng Shijie was also thinking that although Ning Haijun was poorly trained, in terms of combat effectiveness, he could completely overwhelm the Dengzhou Guards. Even though the Dengzhou Guards were so bad, it all depended on who they were competing with. In fact, no matter how bad the Dengzhou Guards were, they could still do it. Five to six thousand soldiers were mobilized at any time to maintain a basic attitude.
As for most health centers in Shandong, let alone five or six thousand people, if they can only hold two thousand people, they will burn high incense.
"I am willing to follow Master Futai's orders!"
Cheng Shijie said loudly: "Wherever Mr. Futai points his finger, my subordinates and Ning Haijun will go through fire and water, no matter how hard they die!"
"Very good!"
Sun Yuanhua did not directly mobilize Ning Haijun to support Dalinghe. In fact, he has been very contradictory. The public dissatisfaction in Shandong has reached a very critical moment. The army must be on duty to prepare for emergencies. If Ning Haijun is transferred, in case of Shandong disaster What to do if trouble occurs?
But if the Ning Navy is not mobilized to go to war, what will happen if Zu Dashou surrenders to Jiannu?
One is an immediate issue, and the other is a slightly more distant strategic issue. In the final analysis, the two issues are still the same issue.
Sun Yuanhua did not make a decision, he needed to think.
"Shijie, please take a rest, I need to reconsider!"
"I'll take your orders!"
…
Sun Yuanhua was struggling. In fact, as Sun Yuanhua's personal follower, Sun Fu was a servant of the Sun family. He had served the Sun family since Sun Fu's grandfather.
Sun Fu was Sun Yuanhua's school boy. He started following Sun Yuanhua when he was twelve years old, and it has been nineteen years now.
Although it is an era when Wang Gang is corrupt, it is still an unforgivable sin for a slave to betray his master. Even if the original master and his entire family are wiped out, the slaves who live in the world with this reputation will still bear the consequences of being treated by the people around them. With contemptuous eyes and disdainful eyes, as long as there is an appeal from the victim, no government office will begrudge such a slave to death.
The order of superiority and inferiority between masters and slaves has become the last layer of dam to maintain social stability. This is the consensus of the world's wise people.
Once he took this step, there was no turning back for Sun Fu.
However, he had no choice.
As a personal follower of Sun Yuanhua, he naturally knew that Cheng Shijie was someone Sun Yuanhua relied on, but the problem was that he had his own leverage in the hands of others.
Now Sun Yuanhua is fifty years old, weak and overwhelmed, but his concubine Huang is as old as a wolf and a tiger. In addition, Sun Fu is handsome, Huang and Sun Fu have a lot of love every time they go back and forth. The reality of husband and wife.
All of this was originally done in secret, but he never thought that he would be caught and raped in bed. At this time, Sun Fu discovered that Shu Tongchao, the aide next to Sun Yuanhua, was actually a member of the Zhang family in Laiyang.
In fact, the Zhang family of Laiyang also bribed Xu Dacheng and gave Xu Dacheng ten thousand taels of silver, but a person as greedy as Xu Dacheng did not dare to accept it.
Right now, he will die if he obeys, and he will die if he doesn't obey. The difference is just an early death and a late death.
Now, what was before him was to help the Zhang family of Laiyang kill Cheng Shijie, and he could take 10,000 taels of silver and fly away. As for Sun Yuanhua's revenge, that was a matter for the future. If he didn't comply, he could die now.
After much thought, he decided to accept Laiyang Zhang's kindness.
When Cheng Shijie walked along the corridor in the middle of the governor's office and walked towards the first two courtyards, he found that there were actually more sentries in the second courtyard. The soldiers standing with guns stood guard at three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. .
When he got here, Cheng Shijie felt something was wrong. He looked around, but didn't find any clues.
"Master Cheng, wait a moment!"
Cheng Shijie heard the voice of Sun Fu, the person next to Sun Yuanhua. He thought it was Sun Yuanhua who had some temporary arrangements, so he stopped moving forward.
"I wonder what Master Futai's orders are?"
Sun Fu said: "Master Cheng and the villain are invited to come!"
So, the further Cheng Shijie followed Sun Fu, the inexplicable suddenness in Cheng Shijie's heart made him feel that something was wrong.
But considering that this is the governor's office, unless Sun Yuanhua wants him to die, but now that Sun Yuanhua can still use him, no one should dare to attack here.
Just when I thought of this, suddenly, there was a bright light in front of me. This was the light reflected by weapons such as swords in the sun.
Cheng Shijie took a look, and unknowingly he came to the right side of the governor's Yamen. Going forward, he was about to exit the governor's Yamen through the right door.
Cheng Shijie hurriedly caught up with Sun Fu in front of him in three steps, and hugged Sun Fu's neck: "Brother Sun, where are you taking Cheng?"
"Take you to death!"
Sun Fu took out his dagger and stabbed Cheng Shijie in the abdomen.
"oops……"
Cheng Shijie smiled slightly: "Can't you push it in? Then you have to use force. Haven't you eaten?"
Cheng Shijie was wearing stab-proof clothing. If it was summer, the stab-proof clothing would be very obvious. In winter, it would be comparable to thick cotton-padded clothes.
Cheng Shijie twisted off Sun Fu's wrist, then raised his knees and asked, "Who asked you to come?"
However, Sun Fu didn't have time to speak. In an instant, a huge fishing net was thrown towards him.
"be cheated!"
Cheng Shijie wanted to struggle, but unfortunately, when he came to see Sun Yuanhua, he did not bring a weapon, and his struggle had no effect.
Chen Guodong was originally standing outside the governor's office, waiting for Cheng Shijie to come. Cheng Shijie did not wait, but instead a large group of well-dressed men arrived.
As Chen Guodong who climbed out of the dead, he has a lot of experience, and something is wrong immediately.
Chen Guodong did not step forward to fight these people, but immediately turned around and ran away, shouting as he ran: "Go back quickly and notify Ning Haijun!"
Cheng Shijie's life and death are now unknown, and Chen Guodong cannot guarantee how Ning Haijun's soldiers will react.
Chen Guodong broke out from the encirclement of many well-dressed men. Of course, it was not a breakout, because these well-dressed men did not surround him.
About half an hour after arriving, the mask on Cheng Shijie's head was lifted.
He looked at the surrounding environment. This was a large, unfamiliar house. The decoration seemed magnificent.
There are dozens of well-dressed men around him, and there is no possibility of escaping unless he has the strength of Changshan Zhao Zilong to fight his way out.
Cheng Shijie looked at the middle-aged man sitting on the soft couch and asked, "Do we have any grudge?"
"have!"
"Even if you let Cheng die, you have to let Cheng die to understand, right?"
"Easy to say!"
The middle-aged man was slightly startled: "Laiyang Zhang!"
"oh!"
"Have not heard!"
"Then you probably really don't know. I'll give you another reminder to Zhen Sanshan!"
"I know, this general led his men to destroy this group of bandits!"
"That means you found the wrong person!"
The middle-aged man walked up to Cheng Shijie and pulled out a dagger: "A certain Zhang Shigang from Laiyang wants to avenge the young master. You can die now..."
"do not……"
Cheng Shijie said: "Zhang Huairen is not dead, he is alive and well!"
Of course, if eating three meals a day is considered good, then probably nothing in the world is bad.
"really?"
"If I fall into your hands, would it be interesting if I lied to you?"
"That's true!"
Cheng Shijie said: "Then can we talk?"
"What qualifications do you have to talk to our Laiyang Zhang family?"
"Zhang Huairen, that's not enough!"
At this moment, rapid footsteps came from the hall.
"Master Qi, one of them ran away!"
"Snapped!"
Zhang Shigang waved his hand and gave the man who reported the news a loud slap in the face: "Fifty people can't deal with one person, so what use are you?"
"Can we talk now?"
Cheng Shijie said: "Cheng has such a despicable life, it would be a wonderful thing if he could die together with Mr. Zhang!"
"you……"
Zhang Shigang pointed the knife into Cheng Shijie's eyes: "You have the guts..."
"You can deal with him however you want. Whether Zhang Huairen can survive depends on your performance."
…
Chen Guodong ran and charged and killed four pursuers in a row before successfully escaping into the territory of Ning Haijun. He did not even enter Ninghai City and directly attacked the Ning Haijun camp in Zijin Mountain.
"The guard master was arrested by the governor!"
