Great Wei Nengchen

One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and the city of Ye immediately boiled. The nature of the gentry is mercenary. It is no problem for them to search the people, but it is difficult to search them. Besides, soldiers, horses, money and food are the foundation of life. , is also the foundation of every family, who is willing to hand it over easily!

Then again, this is a decree issued by the General's Mansion, and there is a slogan of "Destroy the Yellow Turban, Save the Country and the People", which is justified and reasonable, and it is impossible to resist it, but the essence of politics is "There is Policies, there are countermeasures', you have an order to recruit soldiers and adjust food, I have a method that can't be pulled out, it depends on whose method is better!

The elites of the gentry are very depraved, and they also like to compare with each other. They live in high-rise buildings, wear silk and satin, use gold and silver utensils, and travel in four-horse carts. Especially when it comes to food and drink, they are extravagant. , The money spent on a random meal is enough for ordinary people to use for ten years, and the most outrageous thing is-they still eat people!

In famine years, poor people really have nothing to eat. In order to survive, they have to look for corpses everywhere, eat carrion like wild dogs, or exchange children with each other, kill them and cook them into meat soup. Yizi and eat! '

The disaster victims cannibalize people, and the elites also eat people. They are tired of eating delicacies from mountains and seas. In order to seek excitement, they will buy some poor children, raise them fat and white, and then kill them to eat meat. There is also a special name "vegetable man" ! '

In order to show his magnanimity, a family leader held a "hundred children's banquet", that is, slaughtered a hundred young children, made their flesh and blood into delicacies, and used them to entertain guests. "Ten Beauty Banquet", killing ten of his concubines, steaming them and entertaining guests, the depravity of life is evident!

However, when the order of conscription and food adjustment came out, earth-shaking changes took place in just one night. The gentry used to compare each other to see who lived a more luxurious life, but now it is completely opposite. It is still uncomfortable to scold the ancestors for eight generations, 'pretending to be poor' has become a new way of life for everyone!

In order to pretend to be poor, the gentry no longer take cars when they go out. The older ones ride a small donkey, while the younger ones simply walk. The clothes are the same, with patched clothes, a pair of straw sandals, and a hemp rope around their waists. They are the standard gentry. Dressed up, breathable and low-key, it is the only magic weapon for 'pretending to be poor'!

Once an official came to ask for donations, the gentry would bring the whole family, old and young, with a broken bowl and a wild vegetable dumpling, and block the gate, crying and shouting. Don't ask me to pay for it, even if I don't!"

In the face of the gangsters who were playing gangsters together, Tian Feng first visited the door to persuade them with reason and affection, hoping that they would donate money and food to tide over the difficulties together, but unfortunately, it was of no use at all.

Persuasion is useless, so we have to resort to strong means. Tian Feng dispatched [-] elite soldiers and threatened them door to door. If you refuse to donate money, you will take them all away and go to prison to see if you want money or life!

It's a pity that Tian Feng underestimated the thickness of the gentry's skin and the degree of stinginess. Their reaction can be described in one sentence-beating a tiger with bare buttocks, one is desperate, and the other is shameless!

You don't donate money and food with the knife resting on your neck. If you are really desperate, you can take the whole family away. Anyway, you won't be able to eat anymore. If you go into the cell, at least someone will take care of the food!

Persuasion was useless, and coercion was useless. In desperation, Tian Feng resorted to the last resort, brought a few strong men, and carried a hundred catties of iron and iron hammers, and visited them one by one. Said, directly smashing the gate and tearing down the pillars, the gatekeepers panicked all of a sudden, they don't have to lose face, but the gates and pillars must not!

Family status refers to the social status and education level of a family. A powerful family is called a noble family, while a poor family is called a poor family. The difference between the two is huge, and intermarriage is basically not possible!

Fanyue, a high-ranking family will erect two pillars in front of the door. The record on the left is called the valve, and the record on the right is called the official position, which is used to reflect the historical glory of a family!

Aristocratic family is the collective name of family status and status, the former is status, and the latter is glory, both are indispensable!

Now Tian Feng leads people to tear down the gates and smash the pillars, just like digging their ancestral graves. Without these two things, how will the gentry live around in the future!

The gentry can lose face, but they can't do without the 'ancestral grave'. In desperation, they have no choice but to endure the pain-'supply, donate money and food' to help form an army for the expedition. At the same time, they also hate Tian Feng to the bone. If you seize the opportunity, you will definitely be cut into pieces by a thousand knives, and your bones will be ashes...

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

In the hall of the Zhen family, a clan meeting was in progress. All adult men in the clan, regardless of their sons and daughters, attended the meeting. There were dozens of people in total, and there were more than a hundred senior managers standing on both sides of the hall to listen. As important as it is, they also have the right to speak and make suggestions!

Zhen Mi is the daughter of a direct descendant, her family status is extremely high, she also changed into a man's attire, and as the 'fifth son', she sat in the second place next to the head of the family and participated in the meeting!

As for Xiao Yi, standing behind the beauty with a small cap in green and a sword in his hand, his name is a guard, he is actually a mastermind, his eyes are shining coldly, he keeps scanning the Zhen clan, they are all his son's competition Opponent, as a qualified father, should we pull out these thorny thorns?

Sitting opposite Zhen Mi is her eldest brother Zhen Yu, a handsome and kind-looking man, about thirty years old, wearing a feather crown, wearing soap clothes, holding a "Tao Te Ching", reading With relish, as for the matters at the meeting, I didn't mean to ask at all!

"Forget fame and fame, don't care about worldly affairs, seek the Tao wholeheartedly, and stay out of the world of mortals. What a free and unrestrained man!"

After checking for a long time, Xiao Yi made a judgment on this eldest son. Of the five sons of the Zhen family, he is the only one who has survived to this day. It is not without reason. This is a person who is not in danger, so he will naturally live a long life!

"The Yuan family is the head of the clan, and the Zhen family is the head of the plutocrats. The two rely on each other and help each other. Now the Yellow Turban is in chaos, Hebei is in turmoil, the people of Li are suffering, and the business routes in various places are also cut off. The family business has suffered serious losses...

Both public and private, the Zhen family should send troops, donate money and food, help the general to fight against the bandits, open up business routes everywhere, and connect the world... But, when an army goes out, there must be someone in command. Is there anyone in the family who is willing to bear the burden? Is this important task? "

The matter is of great importance, and the head of the family, Zhen An, also attended the meeting. Unlike the sloppy image in the past, he changed his attire today, wearing a purple gold crown, wearing a blessing and longevity robe, holding a gold silk faucet crutch, sitting upright like a pine tree. Like Yue, there is quite a feeling of not being angry and arrogant!

The Zhen family was very active in recruiting troops and rations this time. A total of 1 guards, servants, and tenants were mobilized. Go, no reservations!

On the one hand, the Zhen family is the number one chaebol in the world, even pretending to be poor is useless, it is better to be generous, and in exchange for a good name for benevolence and righteousness, and the goodwill of the general!

On the other hand, if the chaebols want to survive, they need a stable environment. Hebei is in chaos, and the Zhen family caravan also suffered heavy losses. For their own safety, they should also send troops to fight against the thieves!

Here comes the problem. The Zhen family is a business family. They earn money and are invincible in the world, but they don’t know anything about leading troops to fight. When [-] elite troops are sent out, who will be responsible for killing the enemy, and who can bring them back safely?

Thousands of troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find. Without a good commander, sending troops to fight is tantamount to death. This is also the purpose of today's meeting, to select an outstanding junior to take on the important task of commanding the army!

In the lobby, everyone's eyes flickered, they were all thinking about the candidates to command the army. This is a good opportunity to gain power, and it is also an extremely dangerous thing. Facing hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans, if you are not careful, you will be killed. There are no bones left!

As the head of the family, Zhen An couldn't leave Yecheng easily. Besides, he was old and couldn't bear the hardships of the battle, so naturally he couldn't lead the army!

Next, is the young patriarch Zhen Yu, but this eldest young master is devoted to seeking the truth, ignores worldly affairs, and has no ability to command an army. If he is sent to fight the Yellow Turban Army, there is only one result--the entire army is wiped out, and the family's vitality is greatly injured!

As for the rest of the Zhen family's children, all of them lowered their heads and kept silent. They ate, drank and played, carried cages and rode birds. What about the beautiful wife and concubine at home?What about the countless wealth?

"The situation is critical, life and death are at stake, and there are so many children in the Zhen family, isn't there a warrior who volunteers to fight the enemy?"

No one answered for a long time, Zhen An couldn't help but look disappointed. In order to open up business routes, the family's elite children were all lost, and the rest were a group of useless useless trash. Let them inherit the family business, and the Zhen family will surely lose. undoubtedly……

"Mi'er is not talented, and I am willing to lead the family's children to go out to fight against the Yellow Turban bandits, open up trade routes in all directions, and return Hebei to peace!"

Zhen Mi stood up and volunteered to lead the team. Her pretty eyes were full of contempt. She also looked down on these family children, otherwise it would not be a woman's turn to take risks on the grassland!

"Since this is the case, Mi'er will be exhausted. The battlefield is dangerous, so we must deal with it carefully. These people are the essence of the family, so we must not lose it!"

Zhen An nodded slightly. The family was full of yin and yang, and the only courageous girl was allowed to lead the army. As for Zhen Mi's ability, naturally, there was no need to worry, because behind her stood the No. 1 general in the world...Ghost-faced Xiao Lang, who uses soldiers like a god, wins every battle and never loses!

"Hehe, with the wealth and military power in his hands, the family business of the world's number one chaebol will never fall into the hands of others!"

Xiao Yi smiled faintly, his eyes swept over Zhen Mi's belly, his expression was full of complacency--"Baby son, Dad has brought you a big family business, and you will have a good life in the future!"

(Tomb-sweeping day, I went back to my hometown to visit my father's grave, and I delayed the update for a few days. I'm sorry everyone... The baron nodded!)

764. Chapter 764 Qianlong Appears

"Leading hundreds of thousands of mobs, under the circumstances of shortage of food, grass and lack of armaments, against hundreds of thousands of brutal soldiers, don't say that the first battle is successful, it is very difficult to maintain an invincible situation!"

In the big camp outside the city - the tent of the Chinese army, Zhang He sat in the commander's seat, frowning, thinking about the strategy to defeat the enemy. On his right hand was a wrought-iron spear, with rippling flames and flickering cold light, it looked like a full drink The sharp blade of human blood; on the left hand side is a set of "Sun Tzu's Art of War". !

Not only is he a famous general, but he is also known for his 'meticulousness'. Before setting off on the expedition, Zhang Yun naturally had to analyze the battle situation, compare the strength of the enemy and himself, and finally came up with a result-"The enemy is strong and we are weak, and the strength is very different. Can win!"

If an army wants to form combat effectiveness, in addition to sufficient soldiers and excellent armor, it must also undergo rigorous training, be united as one, and order and prohibit, in order to become an elite division, charge forward, and go forward indomitably!

Look at the army I command again. It has complex personnel, lack of ordnance, and insufficient training.

Let’s talk about the personnel first. The [-] army was cobbled together from hundreds of clans. Its origins are complicated, they are not under each other’s control, and there are still conflicts among them. It caused a 'camp scream', which made people's hearts turbulent and uneasy!

The quality of the soldiers is also not good. The elites of the gentry were forced to send troops, so naturally they refused to hand over the elite guards. They were all old, weak, sick and disabled, either 60 years old or 16 years old, and they had no combat experience. Tenants, it’s okay to carry a hoe and cultivate the land, but it’s not good to go to battle to kill the enemy, and it’s a good job not to be a deserter!

The second is the problem of military equipment, food and grass. The elites of the gentry did not volunteer to help, and the donated equipment was rotten. The knives were rusty, the guns were broken, and the bowstring broke as soon as it was pulled. Let alone killing people in battle, even killing a pig would take a lot of effort. !

The same is true for grain and grass. Moldy wheat, green rice, and beans with worms...all were sent to the barracks, and they were mixed with sand. If it wasn't for Zhen's support and sending a batch of good food, people would probably die!

In the end, time is too tight. It doesn’t matter if there are almost no personnel, and it doesn’t matter if there is a shortage of ordnance. As long as Zhang Xi is given enough time, he can seriously train the army and work hard to replenish food and grass. With his ability to manage the army, he can train an elite army within half a year!

But no, the military situation is urgent, Julu County is at stake, the general issued a strict order - "The army must go out within half a month", in such a short period of time, not to mention training troops, it would be nice to be able to barely form an army. As for how many can there be? Combat power, only God knows!

Poor numbers of soldiers, shortage of armaments, and time constraints, these problems Zhang Xi can bear. To be a general, one should have the courage to overcome difficulties. A guy who can only fight with the wind is called a lucky general. Only those who seek victory in adversity can be called famous generals!
