A Timely Wife

For a long period of time, the recruiting methods of the nine company commanders can be described as full of tricks, making people overwhelmed. However, no matter what methods these company commanders use, there is a major premise, voluntary, payment, and The family members are arranged reasonably. If any of these company commanders dare to act like a strong man, they will not even think about Li Ruosong.

Therefore, when these company commanders went to exterminate pirates, they usually brought food and silver, and some even asked Feng Bao to bring some snacks and candies from Ninghai Mansion to trick children and make good friends with them. relationship, in order to please the adults in the village.

But in three months, the population of the resident has almost quadrupled, and the towns and villages with a radius of [-] kilometers around Jinghaiwei's Weifu are almost gone, not only pirates, but all the people of Great Chu. They also ran away completely, and when the pirates sensed something was wrong and sent other people over, they found that there were not even a ghost in these places, let alone people.

According to Chengdong, this is called clearing the wilderness with a strong wall. These pirates originally used war to support war. When they entered the inland, they would not carry any dry food at all. There is no need to worry about not having food and drink, anyway, as long as there are people, they can fill their stomachs.

However, Li Ruosong and Chengdong dealt with these people ruthlessly. They didn't even leave the old people behind. Everywhere they went were dilapidated villages. It looked like no one lived in them for a long time, and the fields were deserted. , The vegetable fields were also pulled out, and the doors of every house were wide open. There was no food or furniture inside, and basically everything that could be taken away was taken away.

Can you not take it away? If it weren’t for the fact that the house couldn’t be dismantled and taken away, Zhou Cheng and the others would be responsible for carrying all the bricks back. The car dragged all the furniture back, and it was basically finished.

Because of the actions of the soldiers who are very close to the people, the local people have a high degree of recognition for the soldiers. In addition, Chengdong copied a lot of catchy military songs after following the example of the previous army. There are two songs that not only the soldiers can sing, Almost no one in the garrison can sing, and I often think of these two songs on the march. One is moving forward, and the other is the three major disciplines and eight items. Note that there is a company pushing large and small Cars, as well as soldiers carrying the elderly who are unable to walk on their backs, marched on the mountain trails, and the loud and clear singing echoed in the mountains and mountains, "All the soldiers must keep in mind, the three major disciplines and eight points of attention, First, all actions must be obeyed by command, and only by keeping pace can we win victory. Second, the people will support and love me if we don’t take the people’s needles. , don’t forget the eight points of attention, the first is to be friendly when speaking, respect the people and not be arrogant, the second is to buy and sell at a fair price, don’t be overbearing when buying and selling publicly, and the third is to return everything in person if you have used it. Don’t lose it. Fourth, if something is damaged, you will be compensated according to the price. Fifth, beating and swearing are not allowed, and the ruffian style is resolutely overcome. Sixth, love the crops of the common people. Molesting good family members, hooliganism must be eliminated. Eighth, it is not allowed to abuse captive soldiers, no beating and scolding, no pocket searches, everyone must be conscious of observing discipline, supervise each other, and never violate it. Leaders and soldiers, defend Dachu and move forward forever, and the people of Dachu support and welcome."

Xu was infected by the singing of these young soldiers. When the people in this village were first rescued, no matter men, women, old or young, their faces were numb. Now, their eyes gradually brightened. Some children After all, I was much younger. Seeing that these Uncle Qiu Ba did not plunder them, spoil and insult them like the old Qiu Ba Uncles did, but killed those hateful pirates, and even helped them pack their things and move them. Some uncles gave them back Delicious and delicious candy, food and clothes were distributed to them, and the songs they sang were very simple and nice. These children began to smile, and the few days of journey from the village to the station were silent at the beginning. From the silence to the laughter afterwards, Zhou Ping, who led the team, couldn't help laughing.

This is the fourth time that Zhou Ping has led troops out to destroy pirates. When he first sent troops, if not for the 20 people from the Tiger Team who followed them, those poor soldiers under him might have been wiped out. During normal training, one by one Everyone thought they were capable, as if they could wipe out all the enemies with a big knife in their hands, and they were so shameless, but when they really saw the pirates rushing towards them with their knives, one by two Not to mention those with soft hands and legs, and even two of them peed their pants in fright. Zhou Ping's face turned black at that time. If he was not on the battlefield at that time, he would have personally kicked those soft guys to death.

The first time he dispatched troops, 20 pirates injured more than 100 of his soldiers, and even two soldiers from the Tigers were injured. Injury, it was a shame, more than [-] of them went to fight a dozen pirates, the ratio was ten to one, and they almost didn't win. After returning to the station, Zhou Ping dealt with his poor soldiers severely. The situation of the second troop dispatch was much better. Apart from the fact that the newly recruited soldiers were not able to get on the stage, the performance of the veterans who had participated in it once was quite remarkable.

After tempering again and again, Zhou Ping gradually had a smiling face. These soldiers just can't give a good face. They don't sweat at ordinary times, but they bleed when they go on the court. Uncertain what will happen in the future, Li Ruosong set out for them the old soldiers to lead the new recruits, and the policy of "one band one, one gang one, one pass one pass" was quickly implemented in each company. I have to say that Master Li has ideas. This way of leading people can integrate new recruits into the team at the fastest speed, and it can also continuously break up the small groups before, so that they will never be able to form a group. Moreover, after each new recruit joins the company, although the overall number The same, but except for a few core officers, all the veterans and recruits below will be dispersed and redistributed to each company.

At the same time, the company joined the cultural class, and there will be little teachers to give them lectures. The time to study cultural class in the morning is not long, an hour, but everyone studies very hard, and the things they study are also very simple. A sand table, the kind that can be placed on the knees, is a thin wooden board underneath, with wooden strips nailed on the four sides, a thin layer of sand is spread inside, and a small wooden stick that is sharpened smoothly. There is a pen and paper.

Although it is very simple, these soldiers did not have any complaints. When they were in the village, their chief told them that the conditions of the station were not good, and there was not so much silver, so they could only guarantee their food. There is no guarantee that they will have enough food and clothing, and all of them must attend classes to read and write, and take part in a test called regularly, and those who fail the test will be punished, but even so, they are all willing to come here, as long as If they can eat enough, they don't have any demands.

To their surprise, the so-called fullness here means that there are three dishes to eat for each meal, one meat and two vegetables, one soup, and three big steamed buns. If there is not enough, they can continue to add until they are full. God knows that when they ate for the first time, they all held their bowls and cried. They didn’t know how long they hadn’t eaten these things. Needless to say, the meat they ate most was rat meat. Rats were gone, so they started trying to catch fish, birds, and snakes. Anyway, as long as there was meat, they didn’t eat much of these vegetables. The village they lived in was near the sea, and there were often The pirates came to raid. When the pirates came, no matter what they planted in the fields, there was nothing left. Some people in the village starved to death, and some people were so hungry that they ate dirt and died. People managed to save their lives by eating all the leaves and bark of the trees around the village. For them, this place called the residence was like a place where gods lived.

When several company commanders were vigorously recruiting soldiers, Chengdong quietly began to do ideological work for these soldiers. In addition to the one-hour culture class every day, there was also a story meeting every afternoon. Chengdong would let people tell his own stories. Encounters, those tragic stories that have been personally experienced can always resonate with everyone present, those inhuman pirates, those corrupt officials, those relatives and friends who could not resist, and those children who endured humiliation. It makes the listener feel a lot.

After the story meeting, Li Ruosong or Chengdong will come to tell them about their responsibilities. First of all, killing pirates is the most important thing. These pirates must pay the blood price for everything they have done. The second is to attack corrupt officials. These corrupt officials are much more ruthless than pirates. They take the salary of the imperial court, but they do not work for the people of Dachu and do not share the worries of the imperial court. There is no need for such officials to stay in that position. The army The greatest responsibility is to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and to be loyal to the emperor is to be loyal to your duties. If the court allows you to be an official, then you should do your job well, so that the common people can live and work in peace and contentment. No longer wandering, if you can't do anything, then you are not loyal to the emperor, you are just seeking fame and fortune.

The last point is to serve the country. Those who serve as soldiers must have the belief of dying for the country and the determination not to retreat. Cheng Dong said very clearly that they have no way out, especially the army. They have no way to retreat. Because the enemy has set foot on their land and killed the people they were supposed to protect. These soldiers usually rely on the hard work of these people to farm the land to get food and to work hard. If it is useful to wear clothes, then, in exchange, they take the money of the common people and erect a barrier for the common people. They should not retreat, because of their responsibilities, they cannot retreat, because a step back is home.
