Tielin Camp was very large, and Wang Xiaoxue only occupied a small portion of the more than 600 people there. In the original family area, we found an empty house for Pan Sanniang to settle down. The city of Kaifeng is really chaotic at this time. If we move out, we don’t know what will happen.
To be honest, due to Zongze's relationship, later generations' descriptions of Kaifeng at this time were actually exaggerated. How is it possible that the market is calm and the streets are bustling? With so many troops, not regular troops, stationed in the city, there can be no peace.
Under this situation, if flowers are still blooming, wouldn't Zongze become a god? To be able to maintain the overall situation as stable as now and to be able to do business normally in the market is already very remarkable, and it does not diminish Zongze's achievements in the slightest.
Zhang Jun took care of it and said to his mother: "That day I defeated Zhang Yong. The people in Xiaoshe saw my bravery and recruited me to join the army. From today on, I will be on duty in the army. You can live here well." There are no people around Tielin Camp, so don’t feel depressed.”
Pan Sanniang said: "I heard that the capital is very prosperous. I will go and see it in my spare time."
Zhang Jun waved his hand hurriedly: "There are countless soldiers in Kaifeng City now. How can you dare to go out alone? Even the people from Xiaoshe came back with the army to transport food, and there are still people who dare to snatch it. If you go out, I'm afraid-"
After speaking, Zhang Jun shook his head repeatedly. Zhang Jun naturally knew his mother's temperament, so it was better to stay at home.
Seeing that Zhang Jun was about to go out, Pan Sanniang said, "You killed Yan Lizheng's family in Caizhou a few days ago. Will it cause trouble?"
Zhang Jun said: "Mom, what year is this? The war is chaotic, how many people die is nothing? Don't worry, nothing will happen."
After saying that, he went straight out of the house and headed towards Wang Xiaolie's military camp. If it were a time of peace, if Zhang Jun killed Yan Lizheng and others, it would be a major case, and the local government would strictly investigate. But at this time, there is no place to conduct a strict investigation. Even if you know that Zhang Jun killed the man, and know that Zhang Jun is in Wang Xiao's hunting army, what can you do? I sent an official document, but no one paid attention to it at this time.
After arriving at the military camp, Zhang Jun arrived in front of Wang Xiao's hunting tent. At this time, dozens of middle and low-level officers in the army were standing here, waiting for Wang Xiaolie's lecture. Yesterday, Wang Xiaolie talked about selecting some lower-level officers to serve as his training team.
Not long after, the guards came out and Wang Xiao went up to his tent.
Everyone entered the tent and saw Wang Xiaolie sitting in the middle. On one side were Shao Ling, Cao Zhiyan, Xie Linong and Yu Huan, and on the other side were Yang Shen and Wang Zhong. Everyone stepped forward, crossed their hands and sang promises, and stood on both sides.
Looking at everyone, Wang Xiaolie said: "Since the battle in Yong'an last month, until today, this is the first official promotion. In the past, either a strong enemy was on the side, or they were in a hurry, and the number of people who were promoted was not uniform, so it was impossible to say What's the matter? All the military generals are here today, set some rules."
After hearing this, everyone sang the promise again.
Wang Xiaolie nodded, thought for a while, and said: "The military discipline is strict, as it should be. However, strict military discipline is to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, not to show the superiority and inferiority of superiors and subordinates. This point needs to be made clear. It must be made clear to everyone in the army. Why should people be classified as high or low? It makes no sense. Therefore, our military discipline is to maintain order in the military. It's not to show your superiority and inferiority. You will naturally understand this truth in the future, take your time. So in the future, when the account is raised, everyone who comes to participate in the discussion will have a seat and sit down to discuss the matter."
After speaking, Wang Xiaolie said: "Everyone, please sit down."
After everyone listened, they looked at me and I looked at you. They didn’t know what to do for a while.
Shao Ling on the side said: "Xiao Sheren, there are no such rules in the military camp."
Wang Xiaolie said: "This is the rule in my army. You should abide by this rule in my army. From now on, I will slowly figure out how the army should behave and how military discipline should be established. Now. If you start from scratch, everything is easier.”
Seeing that everyone was still at a loss, Wang Xiaolie had a straight face and said sternly: "Sit down!"
Everyone was startled and hurriedly sang the promise together and sat down.
Wang Xiaolie looked at everyone, collected his thoughts for a while, and then said: "In fact, I don't understand how to lead troops. In the following days, I will look for generals in the city who are good at leading troops and learn from them. Some of you People should also learn together. However, I have the final say on how things should be done in the military. Those who can figure it out can stay. Those who can't figure it out can leave."
The rules at this time were that leaving was a deserter, and deserters could be executed. This is the relationship between Yue Fei and Wang Yan. However, Wang Xiaolie wanted to train a new army, so the previous military disciplines and rules naturally did not count. It is best to do it voluntarily if you want to conquer the world with you. Of course, in this era, people can’t tell clearly what is voluntary or not.
Seeing that no one spoke, Wang Xiaoxian said: "Since the Jin army conquered the capital, the emperor has been hunting in the north, and all life has been devastated. The prosperous land of the Central Plains has become a ghost land on earth. In the past few years, countless people have died unjustly, and countless people have become victims of the Northern War. Human slaves. It is impossible for us Han people to live a good life. What face do we have in front of our ancestors! What should we say in front of our children and grandchildren? Good men should draw their swords and stand up. A life-and-death showdown with the Beilu! Just like Wang Taiwei's Eight-Character Army, they fought their way out step by step from the Taihang Mountains after countless battles with the Jin Army. We don't need tattoos on our faces. From now on, tattoos are not allowed in our army ! This is a way to prevent deserters and show soldiers as generals, but we don’t need it in the army!"
After speaking, Wang Xiaolie looked at everyone. Most of these people were brought from their hometowns by their fathers. They are good people, so how could they do such a thing as tattooing? However, Yuan Dingjin's subordinates brought over by Yu Huan still had a few tattoos.
This matter cannot be entangled. This is the custom at this time, and it will just change slowly in the future. Tattooing was originally to prevent deserters, especially in the Five Dynasties, when the army was particularly popular. Of course, tattoos also have another function, which is to show that soldiers are generals. Each army has different tattoos, which are the symbols of different armies. Even Wang Yan's Eight-Character Army actually has this effect, although those people stabbed them voluntarily. Wang Xiaolie wants to build a new army, and this bad habit must be changed.
After a pause, Wang Xiaolie continued: "The so-called rebel army is someone who rose up out of righteousness when the world was in trouble. Our purpose is to drive the Jin Army out of the Central Plains and restore peace to the Han people. If not, what are we doing here? ! In the past few years, the Jin people have come south, and everyone has seen it. Wherever they go, no one can stop them, attack everything, and win every battle. This is a fact, there is no way. The Song Dynasty has soldiers and generals, why can't it defeat the Jin people? ? Could it be that the Han people can't do it? If the Han people can't do it, how did our ancestors conquer these great rivers and mountains and leave them to us! In the final analysis, if you can't win the war, it's because the army can't do it. Why can't the army do it? It's not clear now. Why? What to do? Then let’s start with us and find out the reasons bit by bit. Let’s train an army that can defeat the Jin people and protect the Han people!”
In this situation, Wang Xiaolie's tone was actually difficult for the people below to understand. However, when the momentum arrived, everyone was still excited and sang the promise loudly together.
Wang Xiaolie said: "Some people say that they cannot defeat the Jin because the Han people are cowardly, greedy for life and afraid of death. Others say that it is because the generals are incompetent and the three armies are exhausted. Others say that the Jin came from the north, and we lacked Horse. Does it make sense? It all makes sense. But it’s not the fundamental truth. Even with these difficulties, it doesn’t make sense to lose so miserably. In the past two years, although some people have abandoned the city and fled, there are more people, Live and die with the city. How many people are like this in just the surrounding states? Not to mention that there are still Zongliu. In the final analysis, those principles are just excuses, not the real fundamental reasons. What is the fundamental reason? No one It’s clear. Then it’s up to us to find out step by step.”
what is the reason? In fact, not only people of this era, but also people of later generations can rarely explain it clearly. Wang Xiaolie naturally couldn't explain clearly at this time. During the Jingkang Disgrace, the Song Dynasty was in its prime, far from the end of the world. But the hundreds of thousands of troops were like paper, barely able to stop the Jin army. Given how big China is, it is almost unprecedented that it has been beaten so badly by an emerging force.
It has been nearly a month since Wang Xiaolie arrived in this world. Now that he thinks about the knowledge he learned in his previous life, the reasons for the decline of the Song Dynasty sound completely useless. Most of the analysis I learned in my previous life is actually the talk of scholars on paper and cannot be taken seriously.
