Li Mi had just joined Wagang Village not long ago.
But after all, Li Mi came from the family of the Fourth Generation and the Three Dukes, and he even followed Yang Xuangan in his army. Although he was defeated, he was famous all over the world.
His treatment is naturally not the same as that of Zhao Mingyuan, and is far from comparable to Zhao Mingyuan.
And Li Mi was also urging Zhai Rang to capture Luokou Cang, but to capture Luokou Cang, Xingyang must be captured first.
But now the person who serves as the general guard of Xingyang is Zhang Xutuo, a famous general who has defeated Wagangzhai several times.
Zhai Rang was naturally uneasy. After all, he had been driven everywhere by the Sui army. Now he was going to storm an important city of the Sui army and face Zhang Xutuo, but he had no idea.
Therefore, Zhai Rang was impatient with Li Mi's constant persuasion in his ears, so he sent Li Mi away and asked him to lobby the nearby anti-Sui forces to join Wagangzhai.
After all, Li Mi had a great reputation and was really suitable for this job. He persuaded many small groups of rebels to surrender.
This is also the reason why Zhao Mingyuan did not see Li Mi here.
Now, Zhai Rang couldn't help but feel a little moved when he heard that Zhao Mingyuan also offered such a strategy.
However, Zhai Rang remained calm and said, "Sir, you are a great talent!" but did not comment on Zhao Mingyuan's strategy.
After that, Zhao Mingyuan was naturally kept.
However, unlike Li Mi, who was entrusted with important tasks. Zhai Rang just appointed Zhao Mingyuan as the military chief.
The chief registrar is a typical civil servant who collects documents and handles affairs, equivalent to the current secretary-general.
However, the rights and responsibilities in Wagang Village are chaotic, and there are several chief registrants alone. Zhao Mingyuan is actually only responsible for some logistical matters and can make suggestions by the way.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were indignant about this, feeling that their master Zhao Mingyuan had been underestimated.
Zhao Mingyuan thought this was nothing. After all, I have no reputation now and I have just joined Wagang Village, so how could I be entrusted with such an important task?
However, although the chief clerk's official position is not high, since he has already had the opportunity, he will naturally stand out like a cone in his pocket.
Since Zhao Mingyuan was responsible for various logistical matters, he was going to start with the wounded barracks first.
In ancient wounded barracks, the recovery rate was really low.
Moreover, the status of soldiers is low, and there are no good doctors among them.
Most of the really good doctors treat high-ranking officials.
Therefore, most of the wounded soldiers in the wounded camp just bandaged their wounds, poured some random decoctions, and then had to resign themselves to their fate.
Although this world has the inner strength of martial arts, it is slightly better, but it is not much better.
After all, the poor are poor in literature and rich in military, and most soldiers simply cannot have internal strength. Those who do have internal strength are at least a small leader. Naturally, they can hire another doctor, and there is no need for a wounded barracks.
Therefore, there was an air of despair everywhere in the wounded barracks.
When Zhao Mingyuan came here, he first established the next rules, starting from disinfection and cleaning, and planned every aspect.
Then, Zhao Mingyuan personally performed the diagnosis and treatment.
With his medical skills, diseases can be easily cured. Even if there is a lack of medicine, Zhao Mingyuan can use the longevity energy to cheat.
Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, and Wei Zhenzhen also came to help.
Zhao Mingyuan took the opportunity to let Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling practice their medical skills. Even if there were any mistakes, the two of them could make up for it with the longevity energy. Soon, they became two miracle doctors.
As for Wei Zhenzhen, Zhao Mingyuan asked her to gather some women from Wagang Village to form a team of nurses to take care of the injured.
This series of changes naturally received great praise. The wounded patients were extremely grateful to Zhao Mingyuan, and the atmosphere of despair in the wounded barracks was swept away.
As batches of injured patients were cured and returned to the team, they naturally spread Zhao Mingyuan's reputation throughout Wagang Village.
Everyone knows that there is a new chief clerk named Zhao Mingyuan in Wagang Village. He has improved the situation in the wounded barracks so that most of the wounded can heal themselves and return to health.
Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan quickly became famous in Wagang Village.
After all, no one wants to have to wait for death after being injured in combat. Having trustworthy logistics naturally makes people feel at ease.
Soon, Zhao Mingyuan's reputation naturally spread to Zhai Rang's ears.
Hearing that Zhao Mingyuan had some abilities, Zhai Rang gave him 2,000 soldiers and asked him to prepare to lead the expedition.
Now, Zhai Rang has listened to Li Mi's persuasion and is preparing to send troops to Luokou City.
Since Zhao Mingyuan was talented, Zhai Rang did not hesitate to give him a try with these 2,000 people to see what Zhao Mingyuan could do.
Even though 2,000 people sounds like a lot, it seems like a big deal.
In fact, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Wagang Village, and 2,000 sergeants are less than one percent.
There are only a few generals in Wagangzhai, so giving 2,000 people to Zhao Mingyuan to try is nothing.
Besides, this is not an elite.
Zhao Mingyuan looked at the 2,000 people allocated to him, including the old, weak, sick and disabled. There are even many half-grown children and child soldiers like Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.
Of course, Zhao Mingyuan knew that this was not someone deliberately making things difficult for him, but this was the reality.
The most elite young men have already been selected to form an independent army and be trained as an elite legion. The other soldiers' subordinates are not much better than Zhao Mingyuan's.
Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan was not disappointed. After all, there are 2,000 people, which is definitely a lot.
However, although there are people, other aspects are really difficult to describe.
Not to mention armor, even the weapons are only guns and sticks, and even the most economical gun heads are not enough. Many even use sharpened sticks as spears.
This is really killing trees to become soldiers and raising poles to become flags!
The ancients really did not bully me.
Although Zhao Mingyuan had read many military books, unfortunately many methods could not be implemented due to conditions.
For example, if Zhao Mingyuan wants the soldiers to practice. However, there was simply not enough food to carry out such physically demanding work.
Without enough food, it is simply training with your life. What's more, these people are old, weak, sick and disabled, so naturally they can't bear it even more.
There was no other way, so Zhao Mingyuan didn't do too much training, he just enforced strict discipline, which was probably similar to military training for college students.
In this way, these suffering people can still bear it.
In fact, there is not much difference between ancient and modern drills. It was not until the emergence of muskets that people discovered that volleys were the most powerful, and then the requirements for discipline gradually became stricter and more detailed.
Although these do not seem to have a big impact on actual combat, they can make these soldiers accustomed to obeying orders.
Being able to enforce orders and prohibitions is already a good effect.
As for teaching martial arts to enhance their strength, it is not that easy.
Putting aside the literacy rate, letting them understand difficult issues such as meridians and acupuncture points determines that ordinary people cannot learn advanced martial arts at all, and can only learn some external skills such as the Golden Bell Cover and the Iron Cloth Shirt.
But even this kind of technique requires refining and transforming Qi into practice.
This requires consuming a lot of food.
If we can't afford the food rations we eat now, how can we possibly have enough to practice martial arts?
This won't work, and that won't work either. Only then did Zhao Mingyuan realize that he had learned many military training methods, but due to the quality of the soldiers and practical conditions, they were not so easy to implement.
But Zhao Mingyuan is not discouraged. Since the material aspect is more difficult, he will make a fuss from the spiritual aspect.
The success of our party has already explained everything.
There was no need to remember the bitterness and the sweetness, because as soon as Zhao Mingyuan got to know them a little bit, he already knew that their suffering was beyond his imagination.
Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan can only talk about the future and hope.
Zhao Mingyuan told them that as long as they win this battle and capture Luokou Cang, everyone will no longer have to go hungry.
This is true, and everyone knows that Luokou warehouse stores a lot of grain.
I thought that after the Luokou Cang was captured, everyone would have enough to eat and no longer have to go hungry. Hope welled up in everyone's eyes.
After all, the reason why everyone rebelled was because they could no longer survive and were about to starve to death. If we can really have enough to eat by taking down Luokou Cang, everyone will definitely work hard.
After all, many people haven’t known what it feels like to be full for years. Some people even don’t know what it feels like to be full.
Everyone is gearing up, determined to win this battle, and their morale is high.
Zhao Mingyuan took advantage of the situation and continued: "When everyone has enough to eat, they will all be strong. Then even if the Sui army comes again, we will not be afraid. As long as we can eat enough, who can defeat us?"
Everyone laughed, yes, if they could eat enough, who would be afraid of the Sui army.
Zhao Mingyuan continued: "We not only want to defeat the Sui army, but also attack Luoyang and overthrow the rule of the dim emperor Yang Guang."
Hearing this, everyone was a little stunned.
Why was it necessary to overthrow the rule of the Sui Dynasty and invade Luoyang?
Can we do it?
Many people are a little unsure.
Zhao Mingyuan continued: "Don't have any illusions about the imperial court anymore.
Think about it, there is so much food in the Luokou warehouse, but they let us starve without releasing a grain of food.
They don't care at all whether we live or die!
Will they let us go after we capture Luokou Cang?
impossible!
Since we raised the flag of rebellion, it has been destined that only one of the two sides can survive.
Either they die or we die.
Even if Yang Guang really makes a decree and tells you that as long as you surrender, you can continue to be obedient people under his command and you can have enough to eat.
But do you believe him?
Maybe he might actually repent.
But can you let your children and parents live in his shadow?
Maybe he agreed today, but tomorrow he has to build the palace, and the day after tomorrow he has to fight against Goryeo. No one can say.
Are you going to gamble?
wake up! Those dignitaries are all unreliable, we can only rely on ourselves.
Let us use the guns in our hands to create a peaceful world for our wives, children, and grandchildren, so that they will never go hungry.
Happiness is not something that can be easily obtained, nor can it be obtained by begging from those dignitaries, but it requires us to work hard to obtain it.
Yes, this road requires our bloodshed and sacrifice.
But, what is not difficult in this world?
Can we live well without doing anything?
Before, we quietly acted as obedient people, and everyone knew the result.
Therefore, we have no choice.
We can only use our lives and the guns in our hands to create a peaceful and prosperous age! "
"Peaceful times! Peaceful times!" the soldiers shouted excitedly.
This is the ideal for all of them.
