None of the new generals dared to get down on the ground. They believed that if they did not listen to Jia Daihua, he would dare to kick him out of the northwest camp now.These people may not be promoted in the original army or are not welcomed by the superiors. If they are kicked out of the northwest camp again, they will not need the official robes they wear.
Even though it was bitterly cold in the northwest, even if there was still the threat of Beirong, from soldiers to generals, these people had worked hard with their lives and blood, and without their official robes, they would have nothing.
It's not that there is no resentment, but now he dare not show it at all. Jia Daihua believes that someone must comfort the punished generals tonight.How good it is, to be able to see clearly which ones are whimsical, which ones are foolishness, and which ones are simply not afraid of it.
Jia Daihua imagined the wonderful show at night, looked at the execution soldiers with a smile on his lips, and beat them one by one, thinking that the sound was very pleasant.After the execution was over, Jia Daihua looked at the generals who got up with bared teeth and grinned, and smiled.
Jia Daihua didn't care how glaring this smile was in the eyes of others, he really wanted to laugh: Look at the comparison between Zhang Jia and these people, Zhang Jia, who received the ten-armed stick, is now walking slowly like a normal person Get up, in order to dissipate the blood that was beaten out.But the new generals, all of them curled up their mouths like ladles, for fear that others would not see that he had been hit with a military stick.
The contrast, the obvious contrast between old and new generals, made Jia Daihua feel bad, and couldn't help but smile: "I ask you, maybe you are leading soldiers to practice now?"
The question with a smile made people sound unspeakably awkward, and it was a tone of gloating.Zhang Jia stood still and shouted at Jia Daihua: "Yes!" It was very abrupt on the martial arts stage.
"What about you?" Now Jia Daihua wanted to know what these new generals thought.After yesterday's extra meal, 76 generals who were later transferred to the Northwest camp, today 58 came to Yanwutai at the same time as the old generals, and [-] were beaten just now.
"Yes." Several new generals on the stage also responded, and the combined voice was not as loud as that of Zhang Jia alone.
Great, seven more.Jia Daihua nodded to the seven people: "Return to the team."
The remaining 51 people couldn't help whispering, and the simple word of returning to the team made them feel that if they stayed, there might be a heavier punishment than military sticks.Sure enough, after Zhang Jia and the other eight returned to the team, Jia Daihua's harsh smile finally faded: "Northwest Army rules, minor injuries can't be killed. But after being beaten by the fifth army, I just want to take a sick number to recuperate and not participate in drills." .Everyone, demote to one level!"
"General Jia, is it inappropriate to demote so many people just for not participating in the drill, or because of injuries?" Chen Ming spoke again.
Jia Daihua glanced at him: "What's wrong?"
What's wrong, didn't I just tell the reasons: everyone is trying to figure out what the bloodshed on the battlefield is, and it's not the promotion.Now you just wipe out the credits of others for many years, why? !
Seeing that Chen Ming didn't speak, Jia Daihua kindly asked him, "Are you thinking, why should I demote so many people with one word?" Seeing that 51 people nodded, Jia Daihua smiled again meaning to.
It doesn’t hurt if you don’t hit your face, then hit it: “Just because I am the chief general of the Northwest Army, and because I have fought against Beirong, I know that the Beirong people will not show mercy to you just because you are injured. Yesterday I told you You have said that the generals of the Northwest Army are not officials and masters, they have to take the lead, have you all forgotten?"
"Boys, did your corporals, centurions, assistant leaders, generals, and commanders fight behind you?" Jia Daihua suddenly raised his voice, turned around and yelled at the soldiers under the martial arts stage .
"No!" The earth-shaking roar answered him.
"Have you heard that, you can't take the lead, and you won't be able to accommodate you in the northwest camp. I don't want my sons and sons to be distracted to protect you when they face Beirong, for fear that you will be hacked to death by Beirong and they will be killed!"
After Jia Daihua finished these few words, more than 20 people jumped off the martial arts stage one after another and returned to their headquarters.There were only 24 and five people left on the stage, so he squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
"Small school, register your name." Jia Daihua is not used to them, the one who jumped off the stage just now is a sensible person, and the rest is to see if he, the general, can do what he says?Then let you understand clearly, I am not talking about it, let's put pen to paper to prove it.
Chen Ming gritted his teeth, and said unconvinced: "The last general is not convinced. Deputy General Zhang has been camping in the northwest for many years, and the soldiers who execute the execution are familiar with him. He must have shown mercy during the execution just now, so he can continue to practice."
"Zhang Jia, come up." Jia Daihua gave Chen Ming a disdainful look, and directly asked Zhang Jia to take the stage: "Go to the armor."
Zhang Jia didn't say anything after hearing this, and directly stripped off his upper body, and turned around to let Chen Ming look at his back.More than [-] people gasped together: Zhang Jia had ten bruised and purple stick marks on Zhang Jia's back, smeared with traces of blood, and there were a few pieces of cloth hanging on it, which were obviously stuck to the clothes just now, and Zhang Jia took off his clothes. Time to tear it down.
"Liu Dazhu, go to the armor! Chen Ming, go to the armor!" Jia Daihua and more than 20 people all visited Zhang Jia's back and shouted at Chen Ming and another new general.
It is impossible not to go to the armor.Chen Ming and Liu Dazhu took off their upper body armor and clothes bluntly.The rest of the people looked at the backs of the two of them. When they undressed just now, their mouths were hissing and breathing, which sounded more painful than Zhang Jia's injuries.
But after everyone watched it, none of them made a sound, and they all looked strangely at Jia Daihua.Jia Daihua sneered, and called the two executioners to come over: "Tell me, why are their back injuries less severe than those of Deputy General Zhang?"
An executioner took a step forward: "Northwest Army rules, for the first-time executioner, the executioner's hand strength can be reduced by three points."
"There are no rules, you two should step back." Jia Daihua waved the two soldiers to step back from the martial arts stage, and they ran away dragging their military sticks.The remaining generals looked at each other, thinking they had heard wrong.But the three contrasting backs can't be wrong. Zhang Jia's stick injury is indeed a bit heavier than Chen Ming's.
When Chen Ming saw that none of the new generals spoke, he knew that what the execution soldiers said was true—he had been camping in the northwest for four or five months, and he frequently showed his affection to the newly transferred generals, and he also recruited a few of them. If you tell lies, those few people will jump out and refute.
Did you show mercy to your subordinates?It was difficult for Chen Ming to accept this cognition.He knew why Jia Daihua went to camp in the northwest as soon as he returned to Beijing, and he believed that Jia Daihua also understood the tricks.Knowing that he might replace him, Jia Daihua showed mercy to his subordinates. Chen Ming felt that he underestimated him too much.
"The last general misunderstood General Jia and Deputy General Zhang, so I ask General Jia to punish him." Chen Ming put on his armor, bowed his hands to Jia Daihua, and looked daring.
"This is a real man." Jia Daihua didn't seem to notice that Chen Ming gritted his back teeth and said that sentence, and replied calmly: "The rule of camping in the northwest is that no crime is punished twice. That is to say, Downgrade you to one level, and this matter will be over."
The 24 five people who were still on the stage had nothing to say and jumped off the martial arts stage one after another.Chen Ming stayed at the end. He was the governor, and he was already a counselor for battalion affairs. He didn't actually lead any battalion. He wanted to leave the martial arts stage, and he didn't know where he should go.
Jia Daihua waited for everyone to return to the team, and jumped off the martial arts stage, but when he landed, his body was obviously tilted, and Jiao Da, who was also in armor, helped him: "Master, be careful, the injury on the leg is not healed yet. What about Liso?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was pushed away by Jia Daihua, who was already running towards the front of the Chinese army.Anxiously shouting behind him, neither master nor servant noticed that Chen Ming had been staring at Jia Daihua's left leg.
In a daze, Jia Daihua had already run to his place and shouted behind him: "Boys, run with me." As he spoke, he took the lead and ran away around the school grounds.Chen Ming slowly walked down the martial arts stage. The pain in his back made him remember the humiliation of today. He believed that he would be able to take revenge in a short time.
With such good expectations, Chen Ming followed the army at the end, running step by step.It's a pity that he has rarely practiced since he became a general. This morning, he was running and wielding weapons. When he was eating breakfast, his hands were shaking.
Jia Daihua looked very relaxed. After breakfast, he locked himself in the big tent of the Chinese army and began to give a memorial to the emperor. The key point was naturally that he came to the northwest camp and demoted more than 20 generals to one level at once.
The emperor who received successive memorials from Jia Daihua was not as relaxed as the person who wrote the memorials: Although Jia Daihua thanked the Ministry of War for all the troops for the Northwest camp in his first memorial, he also expressed in a subtle way about the candidates for the generals Dissatisfied.The second letter immediately said that more than [-] people had been demoted, as if it was just for the sake of embarrassing the Ministry of War.
See what kind of people you have assigned to the Northwest camp.
The emperor felt that the slap in the face was not the Ministry of War, but himself.This made the emperor, who was in a bad mood, even more irritable, and rarely scolded the Minister of the Ministry of War at the Great Court Meeting.
Hearing that he was scolded because of Jia Daihua, the Minister of the Ministry of War felt that he could pretend that he hadn't heard the emperor's roar: if he got involved with Jia Daihua, he didn't seem to get well.For some scolding, more this time is not much, less this time is not much.
However, since the emperor mentioned Jia Daihua, the Minister of the Ministry of War simply asked his own question: "The sage, before Jia Daihua left, the sage promised to provide two sets of winter clothes for the Northwest defenders. But my ministers The last time I went to the Ministry of Households, I failed to get the silver, if Jia Daihua plays next time..." Who is to blame, give me an accurate word, don't scold me again next time.
Before the emperor got angry, the Minister of the Household Department had already listed: "Your Majesty Qi Sheng, if the Ministry of War issues two additional sets of winter clothes for the Northwest defenders, it will need 13 taels of silver. The Household Department really can't afford this money."
Old Liu Ge frowned when he heard that, just as he was about to go out, he felt Zhang Ge's gaze and stopped his steps.At this time, the chief assistant, Mr. Yan Ge, had already stood up and said to the Minister of the Household Department: "Haven't the tax money from various places this year already been escorted to Beijing?"
The Minister of the Household Department's face became bitter: "Master Shoufu, before the tax money from various places came to Beijing, there have been arrangements for where it should be used. Now it is suddenly necessary to spend 10,000+ taels of silver. This, the Ministry of Households is also hard to do without rice. .”
"Military Department, reply to Jia Daihua and ask him to clearly report the names of the 24 generals, and allow him to ask for a lower rank." The emperor knew more about the whereabouts of the tax money than the Minister of the Ministry of Households, but it was embarrassing to say it, and he didn't want to listen to them. The emperor shouted out.
In order not to let everyone know, a large part of the tax money went directly to his private treasury, and it was not a big deal for several generals in the northwest camp to be demoted.
Elder Liu Ge and Elder Zhang Ge looked at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes. They knew in their hearts that once this case was opened, the promotion and promotion of the generals of the Northwest Battalion, which was originally controlled by the Ministry of War, would fall to Jia Daihua. hands.
After receiving the reply from the Ministry of War, Jia Daihua smiled again. It took more than a month for the memorial to come and go.In the past month or so, 57 new generals have expressed their loyalty to him.
It's not that Chen Ming didn't encourage the demoted generals in private, and wanted everyone to write notes to the Ministry of War, hoping that the law would not blame the public.There were 11 people who signed up with him, and eight people were watching.
With this approval, those eight people should understand the importance of their camping in the northwest.As for Chen Ming and the other 12 people...
All of them turned into liver-colored faces, didn't they?Jia Daihua appreciated it for a while and then changed his face, and then said to Chen Ming: "Chen Ming will hand over to Li Sen in a while. After making meritorious service in another day, this general will ask the sage to reinstate the meritorious officer for you."
Chen Ming's teeth were almost gnashed: "General, the last general who came here to counsel the battalion has been inspected by the Ministry of War."
Jia Daihua smiled: "Yes, I also wonder why the Ministry of War dared to transfer you to the Northwest camp. What I have is also the approval from the Ministry of War. The superiors have agreed to demote you. Now Li Sen is on the same level as you. I think He is more suitable as a counselor than you."
It's just that the first level of the official ranks crushes people to death, how about it?
Chen Ming said bitterly: "The final general will not accept."
Jia Daihua really wanted to tell him to hold back when he was dissatisfied, but an idea flashed in his mind, and he smiled brighter: "Are you dissatisfied? That's fine, now I will entrust you with the matter, if you do it, I will invite the sage immediately, how about reinstating you as an official?"
Chen Ming's eyes shrank, obviously he was very moved by Jia Daihua's words, but instinctively felt that Jia Daihua was not so kind, and there was some kind of trap inside.However, the idea of wanting to be an official, a high-ranking official, and a high-ranking official who has the final say, defeated Jia Daihua's conspiratorial speculation.
From Chen Ming's point of view, Jia Daihua has a plan, and he himself is not bad.But behind him there is a saint backing him, but Jia Daihua is feared by the saint.Even if Jia Daihua had any conspiracy, he could easily resolve it.
After weighing several times, Chen Ming still said to Jia Daihua: "General, please speak."
Jia Daihua smiled brightly: "When I left the capital, the saint said in front of the Ministry of War that he would issue two sets of winter clothes to the Northwest defenders. But you have also seen that it is almost time for the snow to seal the mountains. You can’t see the winter clothes yet. Those officials in the Ministry of War can’t squeeze out their urine, why don’t you go to the capital, as long as you get the winter clothes for everyone, it will be considered a great achievement for you, how about it?”
Even if Chen Ming thought that what Jia Daihua said would not be accomplished, he never thought it would be such a proposition.Going to Beijing at this time, there is not a month on the road without seeing the gate of the capital.Counting the days, when he arrives in the capital, the sage will close his pen, let alone two sets of winter clothes per person in the Northwest garrison.
"Why, you don't want to go? Then hand over to Li Sen quickly." Jia Daihua didn't give Chen Ming a chance to hesitate, and went straight to the general.
The generals in the Chinese army camp were already whispering to each other, Zhang Jia was of high rank and had been with Jia Daihua for a long time, so many generals winked at him and asked him to ask Jia Daihua if what he said was true or not.
Jia Daihua assured everyone that the emperor said so before he left.He was just worried that the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Households would be a hindrance, so he wanted to send capable personnel to Beijing to urge him.
Everyone smiled sincerely after hearing this, and many people encouraged Chen Ming to take over the job.In their minds, even if the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households wanted to delay the matter that the emperor had already agreed to, it would take a long time, and urging them was just a formality.Maybe the winter coat is already on the way.
"If the Ministry of War has sent out the winter clothes, wouldn't it be a waste of time for the general to go?" Chen Ming also heard everyone's discussion, and knew that if he didn't make this trip, he would become a sinner for the entire battalion and lose the morale of the army. Even if the imperial decree came down to let him take over the northwest camp, this soldier would not be easy to lead.He wanted to make himself invincible and asked Jia Daihua.
The smile on Jia Daihua's face has never stopped since he talked about winter clothes. Now when Chen Ming asked himself, he answered very kindly: "Hey, I just want to find an excuse so that General Chen can return to his post as soon as possible. You Don't worry, as long as the winter clothes enter the northwest camp, no matter whether you urge them here in the capital or receive them on the road, they will all solve the soldiers' problems in the same way, and you will do a great job."
After speaking, let Chen Ming think about his gains and losses, Jia Daihua said to the generals who were still joking: "Seeing that the winter clothes won't arrive in a while, it's better to let those boys run two more laps to get rid of the cold. Today Continuing to assemble urgently at night, if any battalion falls behind, the commander himself will find someone to lead the baton. It’s freezing cold, so I won’t count them for you.”
One sentence made some gasp in the Chinese tent, some wailing and some laughing: "Fourth, Lao Tzu's fourth battalion must be assembled faster than your third battalion this time, do you believe it or not?"
"Hurry up, your fourth battalion lies down one by one like dead pigs. It's no wonder you can hear the trumpets. This time your fourth battalion is still at the bottom. You just wait to be beaten." Jiao Huiweng, the commander of the third battalion He yelled at Meng Bai, the commander of the Fourth Battalion, angrily.
Meng Bai was not annoyed either, and winked at Jia Xi, the commander of the Chinese army: "Brother, can someone tell me before you blow the horn?"
The commanders of the first battalion and the second battalion stepped forward and pressed Jiao Hui to the ground for a good beat: "The general was willing to tell the boss the time, but if you make such a noise, Jiao Da will be the trumpeter today."
Chen Ming silently left the camp amidst everyone's laughter, if he had to leave, he might as well leave earlier.What he didn't expect was that Jia Daihua sent him to the gate of the camp in person, and provided two extra horses for the people he brought: "It's not easy to travel this way, so it's okay to take two extra horses and ride them instead." Arrive in the capital earlier. It can be used in case of emergencies.”
Before Chen Ming said anything, he and his ten soldiers had already clasped their fists and saluted: "Thank you, General, for your compassion."
Chen Ming had no choice but to salute Jia Daihua, thanking Jia Daihua for sending him off, and received Jia Daihua's kind smile and encouragement: "General Chen is here to benefit the soldiers of the Northwest camp. Daihua thanked the whole battalion first." General Chen is tired, and General Chen has worked hard all the way."
After Chen Ming took the people away, Jia Daihua felt that the air in the entire northwest camp was much fresher, and the next day he showed his perfect military training method these days: "A few days ago, I always let the big guys run. I'm tired of running around, let's have a fresh one this time."
The generals heard the discussion, and they knew the practicality of this method at a glance, and they wished to practice it now.Only Li Sen looked tangled: "General, do you want someone else to manage the camp affairs? The general wants to go back to the Chinese army for training."
"As long as you recommend someone who is more thoughtful than you, I'll let you go back, how about it?" Jia Daihua gave Li Sen a malicious look: "Other barracks are going to beat their heads for this job, you Still pushing it out. What's going on, the food has bottomed out?"
The bitterness on Li Sen's face became more obvious: "In other battalions, soldiers are allowed to drink blood, and the management of the camp has money. Do I dare to drink blood with the general? The food has not bottomed out, but the daily drill is so hard. You can't even see the meat star, you scold your mother from top to bottom, I don't want to eat meat myself?"
This is really a problem.During this period of time, Jia Daihua devoted all his energy to training soldiers and perfecting military training methods, and he never asked whether the trade route between Guizi and Xiqiang was opened.I had no choice but to say to Li Sen: "Don't worry, I will ask Jiao Da to go out and think of a way later."
Zhang Jia stopped doing it after hearing this: "Let Jiao Da figure out a way. Whenever you say let Jiao Da figure out a way, it's not that the general put money in it himself. The general doesn't need to listen to Li Sen, he just took over, and he can't even scold him." to his head."
The new generals were shocked by such a dialogue. In their perception, there is no general who does not drink the blood of soldiers. Jia Daihua not only does not drink, but also pays money to subsidize the food of the soldiers.
With [-] soldiers, it is not enough to drive ten oxen for a meal. How much money does the master have to throw in?In one year, how much is the salary of the head general of the northwest camp.
"Stop dreaming." Jia Daihua scolded Zhang Jia with a smile, "Even if Jiao Da tries to figure out a way, he will get the money that should be paid by the camp. I will only pay for the excess."
The new generals thought of the first extra meal the general had when he returned to the camp. There was enough meat for each person in that meal, and the general did not lose money in it.Many people looked at Jia Daihua differently. Such a general made people have to believe.
Jiao Da came back on the tenth day after leaving the camp, followed by Gui Yi and others dressed as civilians, who brought back a total of sixty cows, which made the eyes of all the soldiers who were training in formation shine. After being yelled at by their respective generals or centurions, they reluctantly started to practice again.
"Master's method works." Gui Yi quietly said to Jiao Da: "After meeting with Master, Master Jiao will give us some kind words. Why do I see that the method of training in the barracks is different from mine?"
Jiao Da raised his chin proudly: "This is the method that the master has perfected after returning to the camp. Otherwise, why would I bring you to the camp? It's all the master's idea."
In the afternoon, Jia Daihua left it with Guiyi, the reason being that he wanted to learn about the livelihood of the people in the Northwest through Guiyi.Gui Yi's report was very detailed. They connected with Feng Tang through a general in Yulin, and now they have started small-scale transactions with the Xiqiang people.
The sixty cows brought this time were sold by the Xiqiang people, and they cost a full 1000 taels of silver.Jia Daihua comforted Xiang Guidao: "Don't feel sorry for the silver for your master. When you start buying wool from the Xiqiang people next year and exchange it for the coarse porcelain with the B-shaped belt, the silver will come back."
What came back together was Xiqiang's dependence on Zhuangzi.It's just that it's too early to say, so take your time.
"Master," Gui Yiduo took out a few things from the bag he had brought: "These things B brought back, I think they are similar to the ones drawn by the master, so I brought them for the master to recognize."
They are corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes. Jia Daihua smiled sincerely: "That's right, it's these. Let Yizi harvest at any cost, as much as you can. Next year, Zhuangzi will plant these three."
Guiyi showed embarrassment on his face: "Master forgot, all we have learned is how to kill people. No one knows this kind of crops."
"Your master will." Jia Daihua was in a good mood. These things were so deeply remembered in the present world. There are booklets on how to grow, and you teach those kids how to grow."
Why did I do it, and how did I write a brochure? I can completely cover up the past with just one sentence I saw in an ancient book—the generals are no more delicate than the literati, and Jiao Da and the dead soldiers respect Jia Daihua from the bottom of their hearts. , there is a reason.When it comes to promotion, it will take two or three years to complete. At that time, no one will find out who planted it first.
"There are so many seeds, remember to send them to the various villages, and even copy the planting booklets." Jia Daihua exhorted worriedly.When these three things are planted, starting from next autumn, there will be no need to be ruled by the emperor.
Even if Guiyi doesn't know why the master is so happy, it doesn't delay him being happy for the master.He happily said to Jia Daihua: "The orphans in Zhuangzi want to write letters to their families. I thought that the winter would be boring, so I asked them to learn how to read according to their age. Many children have a good memory and can recognize four to five hundred characters. There are more than 1000 people."
Jia Daihua was reminded, and Xiang Gui said, "In the future, I will send someone to deliver some brochures to you and read them to those children during class. Remember, the first thing is that they must know how to be grateful and know who made them Eat enough and wear warm clothes." This person is not the emperor, but Jia Daihua.
Guiyi took the order, and reluctantly bid farewell to Jia Daihua, fiddling with a piece of silver in his hand, making one think that the smile on his face was due to being rewarded by the general.The soldiers who led him out of the camp joked: "Is this the first time I see such a big silver ingot? Why don't I exchange it with you for copper coins, so that it won't be inconvenient for you to spend it?"
Guiyi looked at me with a look of yours: "My mother said that she has never seen silver, so let me show her the silver this time no matter what." The soldier who said it laughed loudly: "You just want to , I don’t dare to change with you, let the general know, the ten army sticks can’t run away from me.”
He didn't mention how Guiyi returned to Yulin, but only said that Jia Daihua got his reminder and proposed to the generals that soldiers who are tired and uncomfortable every night can learn to read from literate people, and the generals will be blown away at once. Not light.
Self-imposed soldiers are looked down upon, not only because of the uncertainty of life and death, but also because they can't read big characters.Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even if they became corporal commanders or centurion commanders, a lot of illiterate ones were caught.
Now that the general suddenly let these people know how to read, is there any deep meaning in it?
Jia Daihua nodded inexplicably to everyone: "There are too few people in the army who can read and write, and there is a military order that can only be passed on by word of mouth. It will be a big mistake."
Seeing that everyone felt that the reason was far-fetched, he didn’t feel annoyed, and then he gave an eye-catching reason: “Our soldiers, why should they be the top soldiers all their lives? If they can read and write, they can become corporal commanders and centurion commanders if they have the opportunity in the future.” Or join the generals. Wouldn’t it be a joke if you don’t understand your own investigation and cooperation at that time.”
The veteran generals smiled knowingly, yes, if the soldiers they lead are promoted, they will have a stronger grasp of the battalion.It doesn't matter how much sand is mixed in the court, the leader is the soldiers brought out by himself, even sand can be washed away by him.
The new generals also thought of this. Although they are now more and more convinced of Jia Daihua, they are still afraid that Jia Daihua will regard them as the eyes and ears of others.If the soldiers I lead are promising, I can count on myself to rely on them in the camp in the future.
In this way, the Northwest Camp launched a literacy campaign in full swing.Sometimes Jia Daihua would teach in person. What he said was not about profound things, but "Soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers."
Which soldier doesn't like to hear such a topic, even the generals feel that it can be substituted, whether it can be replaced by a general who does not want to be the chief general is not a good general.It's not easy to build up one's energy, the most important thing is to strike while the iron is hot.
Jia Daihua knew this well, and then wrote a few songs himself, and let the generals of each battalion learn it first, and then taught the soldiers to sing them.The content of the song is naturally borrowed, but Jia Daihua feels that as long as it is useful, it doesn't matter who wrote it.
However, he remembered that in the present world, when he heard those military songs during military training, his blood boiled. He didn't believe that these ancient people were more knowledgeable than himself in the age of information explosion.
The ones selected by him were "Unity is Strength", "Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention", "Northwest Army Song", "Big Sword Cuts Off the Heads of the Beirong People" and "Little Baiyang".When taking out these songs, Jia Daihua changed a small part of the lyrics to better fit the tone of the camp in the Northwest.
If Chen Ming was still camping in the northwest, he might have discovered that these songs talked about bravery, unity, discipline, patriotism, and filial piety, but they didn't talk about loyalty to the emperor.But now the soldiers who can read and recognize are all proud of being the first to learn to sing, so they didn't pay attention to this.
What they want to do most is to sing louder, so as not to lose when the whole battalion is in line, so as not to be hit by a few army sticks collectively.Compared with the defenders in the three northwestern states, General Jia did not drink the blood of the soldiers and did not procrastinate the payment of money. hatred.
Now the entire Northwest camp has really achieved singing in the queue assembly. Jia Daihua drove the ducks to the shelves again, and asked the generals to tell their subordinates about the history of the Northwest camp every ten days.
I won’t talk about anything else, whether you have ever been on the battlefield or killed Beirong people, you can pass the test if you talk about this.The generals who were transferred from elsewhere began to be in a dilemma. Not only did they not know the history of the Northwest camp, but they also did not kill the Beirong people. What should we do?
Jia Daihua has a way to let them talk about the experience of the military camp where they stayed, not to mention the prosperity of the garrison, you have to talk about how you became a general.You have never killed Beirong people, you have always practiced, you have always suppressed bandits, and you have been injured, right? Say this.
The damage came so clearly and so quickly.Those who were hurt were all the newly transferred generals, and they soon found that they were far behind the original generals of the Northwest Camp, not only on the training ground, but also in the big tent where they told the soldiers about the history of war.
When the old generals started speaking, everyone, no matter the veterans or the new recruits, listened to howls. They wished that there would be Beirong people in front of them, and that they could be like the generals, chopping people down with a knife in their hands.
Even if he was slashed by the Beirong people, he would still be able to slash the head of the Beirong people with wounds, blood, and a big knife like those scarred generals, and lock the final victory on his own. hands.
When the new generals talked about the beautiful waters and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, their team of three to 400 people would take several times to succeed in suppressing bandits with dozens of people, or they could not even touch the bandits at all. Let people play around.The soldiers did not dare to hiss, they could only fall asleep, and finally the whole big tent snored loudly.
In the end, the new generals had to help their old generals who could speak, and only asked them to tell them more about the history of the Northwest camp.If you don't ask, you don't know. If you ask, you will be shocked.Since the establishment of the Northwest Camp, it has not been attacked by the Northern Army for a year. Sometimes it is the main battlefield, and sometimes it is affected by the flanks.
Now the father of General Jia, Old Ning Guogong, and his uncle, Old Rong Guogong, have guarded the northwest camp. Otherwise, the saints would not directly seize the love and let General Jia guard it. The liver has to tremble twice.
Some new generals also asked: "Since the Beirong people are so afraid of Jia Ziqi, how dare they violate the border every year?"
The veteran generals were all proud: "We, General Jia and Beirong, have a life-and-death feud that will never end. Just wait, one day, General Jia will break through the royal court of the Beirong people."
What's going on with the blood rushing a little bit?All the new generals felt lost: the generals in the northwest camp were the real men who fought on the real battlefield, and their achievements that they were complacent about would only add to the laughingstock here, so let's not mention them in the future.
When the whole battalion had memorized the history of the Northwest camp war upside down, Jia Daihua made another trick: take an exam!
He didn't test the drill situation, but unexpectedly wanted to test how much everyone knew about the military regulations of the Northwest Camp.Now the temple is blown up again, there are only a few military regulations that everyone can use on weekdays, and those who can fully state all the military regulations cannot exceed ten people in the whole battalion.
Come on, there's nothing else to say, don't the soldiers also know how to read, let's recite it.Don’t recite, no one forces you to recite it, it’s your own choice not to recite it, as long as you see that those who recite will get an extra month’s salary, you will have an advantage in being promoted to corps leader in the future, just don’t be jealous or jealous.
Then, in the northwest camp, such a scene appeared. Two soldiers met each other, and one of them asked: "What is Article [-] of the Northwest Military Regulations?" Sell your ancestors for glory."
"That's right, you can recite well." The soldier who asked the question nodded deeply: "The general said, not only must you be able to memorize, but you must also engrave it in your bones. Only in this way, if there is such a day in the future, you will not lose the face of your ancestors." .”
Hearing him mention the general, the soldier who was questioned stood up straight: "I respect the general's instruction."
The two separated smoothly, and the soldier who asked the question had already met the next person: "What is Article [-] of the Northwest Military Regulations?"
This one obviously hasn't memorized Article [-], and Qi Ai didn't say it for a long time. The soldier who asked the question was anxious: "As a soldier of the Northwest Army, I don't know the military regulations, and I will behave badly when I face the enemy. Why don't you go back and memorize it quickly? "
The trainee bowed his head and was about to cry, repeatedly assuring him that he would memorize Article [-] if he didn't eat dinner today.When the people walked away, the soldier who asked the question held his head up and walked forward with broad steps.When the other soldiers saw him coming, they walked away from him so as not to be questioned.
"Who is this guy? Has he memorized all the military regulations?"
"If he has memorized all the farts, he will memorize the eighth one, and everyone he catches will ask this one."
"Then he is not afraid of others asking him something else?"
"Ask him? You won't scold you behind his back. Are you ashamed to ask him? You'll recite what the general said once. It's what the general said. It makes sense after thinking about it a few times. Why don't you bother to ask him?"
It seems to be such a reason.Even Jia Daihua laughed when he heard about it, thinking that there are still talents in the Northwest Army.However, since everyone attaches so much importance to the military regulations, it is always necessary to check whether the result is correct.With a wave of Jia Daihua's hand, each battalion will organize a military competition.
The generals who had never heard of this title gathered in the central army tent, wanting to know how this competition would compare.Jia Daihua asked Li Sen to explain everyone's doubts, and Li Sen suddenly felt that he was knowledgeable.
"The general feels that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the battalion can't just practice every day except for drills. There must be some other activities for everyone. In addition, the soldiers have been enthusiastic about memorizing military regulations recently.
Even though it was bitterly cold in the northwest, even if there was still the threat of Beirong, from soldiers to generals, these people had worked hard with their lives and blood, and without their official robes, they would have nothing.
It's not that there is no resentment, but now he dare not show it at all. Jia Daihua believes that someone must comfort the punished generals tonight.How good it is, to be able to see clearly which ones are whimsical, which ones are foolishness, and which ones are simply not afraid of it.
Jia Daihua imagined the wonderful show at night, looked at the execution soldiers with a smile on his lips, and beat them one by one, thinking that the sound was very pleasant.After the execution was over, Jia Daihua looked at the generals who got up with bared teeth and grinned, and smiled.
Jia Daihua didn't care how glaring this smile was in the eyes of others, he really wanted to laugh: Look at the comparison between Zhang Jia and these people, Zhang Jia, who received the ten-armed stick, is now walking slowly like a normal person Get up, in order to dissipate the blood that was beaten out.But the new generals, all of them curled up their mouths like ladles, for fear that others would not see that he had been hit with a military stick.
The contrast, the obvious contrast between old and new generals, made Jia Daihua feel bad, and couldn't help but smile: "I ask you, maybe you are leading soldiers to practice now?"
The question with a smile made people sound unspeakably awkward, and it was a tone of gloating.Zhang Jia stood still and shouted at Jia Daihua: "Yes!" It was very abrupt on the martial arts stage.
"What about you?" Now Jia Daihua wanted to know what these new generals thought.After yesterday's extra meal, 76 generals who were later transferred to the Northwest camp, today 58 came to Yanwutai at the same time as the old generals, and [-] were beaten just now.
"Yes." Several new generals on the stage also responded, and the combined voice was not as loud as that of Zhang Jia alone.
Great, seven more.Jia Daihua nodded to the seven people: "Return to the team."
The remaining 51 people couldn't help whispering, and the simple word of returning to the team made them feel that if they stayed, there might be a heavier punishment than military sticks.Sure enough, after Zhang Jia and the other eight returned to the team, Jia Daihua's harsh smile finally faded: "Northwest Army rules, minor injuries can't be killed. But after being beaten by the fifth army, I just want to take a sick number to recuperate and not participate in drills." .Everyone, demote to one level!"
"General Jia, is it inappropriate to demote so many people just for not participating in the drill, or because of injuries?" Chen Ming spoke again.
Jia Daihua glanced at him: "What's wrong?"
What's wrong, didn't I just tell the reasons: everyone is trying to figure out what the bloodshed on the battlefield is, and it's not the promotion.Now you just wipe out the credits of others for many years, why? !
Seeing that Chen Ming didn't speak, Jia Daihua kindly asked him, "Are you thinking, why should I demote so many people with one word?" Seeing that 51 people nodded, Jia Daihua smiled again meaning to.
It doesn’t hurt if you don’t hit your face, then hit it: “Just because I am the chief general of the Northwest Army, and because I have fought against Beirong, I know that the Beirong people will not show mercy to you just because you are injured. Yesterday I told you You have said that the generals of the Northwest Army are not officials and masters, they have to take the lead, have you all forgotten?"
"Boys, did your corporals, centurions, assistant leaders, generals, and commanders fight behind you?" Jia Daihua suddenly raised his voice, turned around and yelled at the soldiers under the martial arts stage .
"No!" The earth-shaking roar answered him.
"Have you heard that, you can't take the lead, and you won't be able to accommodate you in the northwest camp. I don't want my sons and sons to be distracted to protect you when they face Beirong, for fear that you will be hacked to death by Beirong and they will be killed!"
After Jia Daihua finished these few words, more than 20 people jumped off the martial arts stage one after another and returned to their headquarters.There were only 24 and five people left on the stage, so he squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
"Small school, register your name." Jia Daihua is not used to them, the one who jumped off the stage just now is a sensible person, and the rest is to see if he, the general, can do what he says?Then let you understand clearly, I am not talking about it, let's put pen to paper to prove it.
Chen Ming gritted his teeth, and said unconvinced: "The last general is not convinced. Deputy General Zhang has been camping in the northwest for many years, and the soldiers who execute the execution are familiar with him. He must have shown mercy during the execution just now, so he can continue to practice."
"Zhang Jia, come up." Jia Daihua gave Chen Ming a disdainful look, and directly asked Zhang Jia to take the stage: "Go to the armor."
Zhang Jia didn't say anything after hearing this, and directly stripped off his upper body, and turned around to let Chen Ming look at his back.More than [-] people gasped together: Zhang Jia had ten bruised and purple stick marks on Zhang Jia's back, smeared with traces of blood, and there were a few pieces of cloth hanging on it, which were obviously stuck to the clothes just now, and Zhang Jia took off his clothes. Time to tear it down.
"Liu Dazhu, go to the armor! Chen Ming, go to the armor!" Jia Daihua and more than 20 people all visited Zhang Jia's back and shouted at Chen Ming and another new general.
It is impossible not to go to the armor.Chen Ming and Liu Dazhu took off their upper body armor and clothes bluntly.The rest of the people looked at the backs of the two of them. When they undressed just now, their mouths were hissing and breathing, which sounded more painful than Zhang Jia's injuries.
But after everyone watched it, none of them made a sound, and they all looked strangely at Jia Daihua.Jia Daihua sneered, and called the two executioners to come over: "Tell me, why are their back injuries less severe than those of Deputy General Zhang?"
An executioner took a step forward: "Northwest Army rules, for the first-time executioner, the executioner's hand strength can be reduced by three points."
"There are no rules, you two should step back." Jia Daihua waved the two soldiers to step back from the martial arts stage, and they ran away dragging their military sticks.The remaining generals looked at each other, thinking they had heard wrong.But the three contrasting backs can't be wrong. Zhang Jia's stick injury is indeed a bit heavier than Chen Ming's.
When Chen Ming saw that none of the new generals spoke, he knew that what the execution soldiers said was true—he had been camping in the northwest for four or five months, and he frequently showed his affection to the newly transferred generals, and he also recruited a few of them. If you tell lies, those few people will jump out and refute.
Did you show mercy to your subordinates?It was difficult for Chen Ming to accept this cognition.He knew why Jia Daihua went to camp in the northwest as soon as he returned to Beijing, and he believed that Jia Daihua also understood the tricks.Knowing that he might replace him, Jia Daihua showed mercy to his subordinates. Chen Ming felt that he underestimated him too much.
"The last general misunderstood General Jia and Deputy General Zhang, so I ask General Jia to punish him." Chen Ming put on his armor, bowed his hands to Jia Daihua, and looked daring.
"This is a real man." Jia Daihua didn't seem to notice that Chen Ming gritted his back teeth and said that sentence, and replied calmly: "The rule of camping in the northwest is that no crime is punished twice. That is to say, Downgrade you to one level, and this matter will be over."
The 24 five people who were still on the stage had nothing to say and jumped off the martial arts stage one after another.Chen Ming stayed at the end. He was the governor, and he was already a counselor for battalion affairs. He didn't actually lead any battalion. He wanted to leave the martial arts stage, and he didn't know where he should go.
Jia Daihua waited for everyone to return to the team, and jumped off the martial arts stage, but when he landed, his body was obviously tilted, and Jiao Da, who was also in armor, helped him: "Master, be careful, the injury on the leg is not healed yet. What about Liso?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was pushed away by Jia Daihua, who was already running towards the front of the Chinese army.Anxiously shouting behind him, neither master nor servant noticed that Chen Ming had been staring at Jia Daihua's left leg.
In a daze, Jia Daihua had already run to his place and shouted behind him: "Boys, run with me." As he spoke, he took the lead and ran away around the school grounds.Chen Ming slowly walked down the martial arts stage. The pain in his back made him remember the humiliation of today. He believed that he would be able to take revenge in a short time.
With such good expectations, Chen Ming followed the army at the end, running step by step.It's a pity that he has rarely practiced since he became a general. This morning, he was running and wielding weapons. When he was eating breakfast, his hands were shaking.
Jia Daihua looked very relaxed. After breakfast, he locked himself in the big tent of the Chinese army and began to give a memorial to the emperor. The key point was naturally that he came to the northwest camp and demoted more than 20 generals to one level at once.
The emperor who received successive memorials from Jia Daihua was not as relaxed as the person who wrote the memorials: Although Jia Daihua thanked the Ministry of War for all the troops for the Northwest camp in his first memorial, he also expressed in a subtle way about the candidates for the generals Dissatisfied.The second letter immediately said that more than [-] people had been demoted, as if it was just for the sake of embarrassing the Ministry of War.
See what kind of people you have assigned to the Northwest camp.
The emperor felt that the slap in the face was not the Ministry of War, but himself.This made the emperor, who was in a bad mood, even more irritable, and rarely scolded the Minister of the Ministry of War at the Great Court Meeting.
Hearing that he was scolded because of Jia Daihua, the Minister of the Ministry of War felt that he could pretend that he hadn't heard the emperor's roar: if he got involved with Jia Daihua, he didn't seem to get well.For some scolding, more this time is not much, less this time is not much.
However, since the emperor mentioned Jia Daihua, the Minister of the Ministry of War simply asked his own question: "The sage, before Jia Daihua left, the sage promised to provide two sets of winter clothes for the Northwest defenders. But my ministers The last time I went to the Ministry of Households, I failed to get the silver, if Jia Daihua plays next time..." Who is to blame, give me an accurate word, don't scold me again next time.
Before the emperor got angry, the Minister of the Household Department had already listed: "Your Majesty Qi Sheng, if the Ministry of War issues two additional sets of winter clothes for the Northwest defenders, it will need 13 taels of silver. The Household Department really can't afford this money."
Old Liu Ge frowned when he heard that, just as he was about to go out, he felt Zhang Ge's gaze and stopped his steps.At this time, the chief assistant, Mr. Yan Ge, had already stood up and said to the Minister of the Household Department: "Haven't the tax money from various places this year already been escorted to Beijing?"
The Minister of the Household Department's face became bitter: "Master Shoufu, before the tax money from various places came to Beijing, there have been arrangements for where it should be used. Now it is suddenly necessary to spend 10,000+ taels of silver. This, the Ministry of Households is also hard to do without rice. .”
"Military Department, reply to Jia Daihua and ask him to clearly report the names of the 24 generals, and allow him to ask for a lower rank." The emperor knew more about the whereabouts of the tax money than the Minister of the Ministry of Households, but it was embarrassing to say it, and he didn't want to listen to them. The emperor shouted out.
In order not to let everyone know, a large part of the tax money went directly to his private treasury, and it was not a big deal for several generals in the northwest camp to be demoted.
Elder Liu Ge and Elder Zhang Ge looked at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes. They knew in their hearts that once this case was opened, the promotion and promotion of the generals of the Northwest Battalion, which was originally controlled by the Ministry of War, would fall to Jia Daihua. hands.
After receiving the reply from the Ministry of War, Jia Daihua smiled again. It took more than a month for the memorial to come and go.In the past month or so, 57 new generals have expressed their loyalty to him.
It's not that Chen Ming didn't encourage the demoted generals in private, and wanted everyone to write notes to the Ministry of War, hoping that the law would not blame the public.There were 11 people who signed up with him, and eight people were watching.
With this approval, those eight people should understand the importance of their camping in the northwest.As for Chen Ming and the other 12 people...
All of them turned into liver-colored faces, didn't they?Jia Daihua appreciated it for a while and then changed his face, and then said to Chen Ming: "Chen Ming will hand over to Li Sen in a while. After making meritorious service in another day, this general will ask the sage to reinstate the meritorious officer for you."
Chen Ming's teeth were almost gnashed: "General, the last general who came here to counsel the battalion has been inspected by the Ministry of War."
Jia Daihua smiled: "Yes, I also wonder why the Ministry of War dared to transfer you to the Northwest camp. What I have is also the approval from the Ministry of War. The superiors have agreed to demote you. Now Li Sen is on the same level as you. I think He is more suitable as a counselor than you."
It's just that the first level of the official ranks crushes people to death, how about it?
Chen Ming said bitterly: "The final general will not accept."
Jia Daihua really wanted to tell him to hold back when he was dissatisfied, but an idea flashed in his mind, and he smiled brighter: "Are you dissatisfied? That's fine, now I will entrust you with the matter, if you do it, I will invite the sage immediately, how about reinstating you as an official?"
Chen Ming's eyes shrank, obviously he was very moved by Jia Daihua's words, but instinctively felt that Jia Daihua was not so kind, and there was some kind of trap inside.However, the idea of wanting to be an official, a high-ranking official, and a high-ranking official who has the final say, defeated Jia Daihua's conspiratorial speculation.
From Chen Ming's point of view, Jia Daihua has a plan, and he himself is not bad.But behind him there is a saint backing him, but Jia Daihua is feared by the saint.Even if Jia Daihua had any conspiracy, he could easily resolve it.
After weighing several times, Chen Ming still said to Jia Daihua: "General, please speak."
Jia Daihua smiled brightly: "When I left the capital, the saint said in front of the Ministry of War that he would issue two sets of winter clothes to the Northwest defenders. But you have also seen that it is almost time for the snow to seal the mountains. You can’t see the winter clothes yet. Those officials in the Ministry of War can’t squeeze out their urine, why don’t you go to the capital, as long as you get the winter clothes for everyone, it will be considered a great achievement for you, how about it?”
Even if Chen Ming thought that what Jia Daihua said would not be accomplished, he never thought it would be such a proposition.Going to Beijing at this time, there is not a month on the road without seeing the gate of the capital.Counting the days, when he arrives in the capital, the sage will close his pen, let alone two sets of winter clothes per person in the Northwest garrison.
"Why, you don't want to go? Then hand over to Li Sen quickly." Jia Daihua didn't give Chen Ming a chance to hesitate, and went straight to the general.
The generals in the Chinese army camp were already whispering to each other, Zhang Jia was of high rank and had been with Jia Daihua for a long time, so many generals winked at him and asked him to ask Jia Daihua if what he said was true or not.
Jia Daihua assured everyone that the emperor said so before he left.He was just worried that the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Households would be a hindrance, so he wanted to send capable personnel to Beijing to urge him.
Everyone smiled sincerely after hearing this, and many people encouraged Chen Ming to take over the job.In their minds, even if the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households wanted to delay the matter that the emperor had already agreed to, it would take a long time, and urging them was just a formality.Maybe the winter coat is already on the way.
"If the Ministry of War has sent out the winter clothes, wouldn't it be a waste of time for the general to go?" Chen Ming also heard everyone's discussion, and knew that if he didn't make this trip, he would become a sinner for the entire battalion and lose the morale of the army. Even if the imperial decree came down to let him take over the northwest camp, this soldier would not be easy to lead.He wanted to make himself invincible and asked Jia Daihua.
The smile on Jia Daihua's face has never stopped since he talked about winter clothes. Now when Chen Ming asked himself, he answered very kindly: "Hey, I just want to find an excuse so that General Chen can return to his post as soon as possible. You Don't worry, as long as the winter clothes enter the northwest camp, no matter whether you urge them here in the capital or receive them on the road, they will all solve the soldiers' problems in the same way, and you will do a great job."
After speaking, let Chen Ming think about his gains and losses, Jia Daihua said to the generals who were still joking: "Seeing that the winter clothes won't arrive in a while, it's better to let those boys run two more laps to get rid of the cold. Today Continuing to assemble urgently at night, if any battalion falls behind, the commander himself will find someone to lead the baton. It’s freezing cold, so I won’t count them for you.”
One sentence made some gasp in the Chinese tent, some wailing and some laughing: "Fourth, Lao Tzu's fourth battalion must be assembled faster than your third battalion this time, do you believe it or not?"
"Hurry up, your fourth battalion lies down one by one like dead pigs. It's no wonder you can hear the trumpets. This time your fourth battalion is still at the bottom. You just wait to be beaten." Jiao Huiweng, the commander of the third battalion He yelled at Meng Bai, the commander of the Fourth Battalion, angrily.
Meng Bai was not annoyed either, and winked at Jia Xi, the commander of the Chinese army: "Brother, can someone tell me before you blow the horn?"
The commanders of the first battalion and the second battalion stepped forward and pressed Jiao Hui to the ground for a good beat: "The general was willing to tell the boss the time, but if you make such a noise, Jiao Da will be the trumpeter today."
Chen Ming silently left the camp amidst everyone's laughter, if he had to leave, he might as well leave earlier.What he didn't expect was that Jia Daihua sent him to the gate of the camp in person, and provided two extra horses for the people he brought: "It's not easy to travel this way, so it's okay to take two extra horses and ride them instead." Arrive in the capital earlier. It can be used in case of emergencies.”
Before Chen Ming said anything, he and his ten soldiers had already clasped their fists and saluted: "Thank you, General, for your compassion."
Chen Ming had no choice but to salute Jia Daihua, thanking Jia Daihua for sending him off, and received Jia Daihua's kind smile and encouragement: "General Chen is here to benefit the soldiers of the Northwest camp. Daihua thanked the whole battalion first." General Chen is tired, and General Chen has worked hard all the way."
After Chen Ming took the people away, Jia Daihua felt that the air in the entire northwest camp was much fresher, and the next day he showed his perfect military training method these days: "A few days ago, I always let the big guys run. I'm tired of running around, let's have a fresh one this time."
The generals heard the discussion, and they knew the practicality of this method at a glance, and they wished to practice it now.Only Li Sen looked tangled: "General, do you want someone else to manage the camp affairs? The general wants to go back to the Chinese army for training."
"As long as you recommend someone who is more thoughtful than you, I'll let you go back, how about it?" Jia Daihua gave Li Sen a malicious look: "Other barracks are going to beat their heads for this job, you Still pushing it out. What's going on, the food has bottomed out?"
The bitterness on Li Sen's face became more obvious: "In other battalions, soldiers are allowed to drink blood, and the management of the camp has money. Do I dare to drink blood with the general? The food has not bottomed out, but the daily drill is so hard. You can't even see the meat star, you scold your mother from top to bottom, I don't want to eat meat myself?"
This is really a problem.During this period of time, Jia Daihua devoted all his energy to training soldiers and perfecting military training methods, and he never asked whether the trade route between Guizi and Xiqiang was opened.I had no choice but to say to Li Sen: "Don't worry, I will ask Jiao Da to go out and think of a way later."
Zhang Jia stopped doing it after hearing this: "Let Jiao Da figure out a way. Whenever you say let Jiao Da figure out a way, it's not that the general put money in it himself. The general doesn't need to listen to Li Sen, he just took over, and he can't even scold him." to his head."
The new generals were shocked by such a dialogue. In their perception, there is no general who does not drink the blood of soldiers. Jia Daihua not only does not drink, but also pays money to subsidize the food of the soldiers.
With [-] soldiers, it is not enough to drive ten oxen for a meal. How much money does the master have to throw in?In one year, how much is the salary of the head general of the northwest camp.
"Stop dreaming." Jia Daihua scolded Zhang Jia with a smile, "Even if Jiao Da tries to figure out a way, he will get the money that should be paid by the camp. I will only pay for the excess."
The new generals thought of the first extra meal the general had when he returned to the camp. There was enough meat for each person in that meal, and the general did not lose money in it.Many people looked at Jia Daihua differently. Such a general made people have to believe.
Jiao Da came back on the tenth day after leaving the camp, followed by Gui Yi and others dressed as civilians, who brought back a total of sixty cows, which made the eyes of all the soldiers who were training in formation shine. After being yelled at by their respective generals or centurions, they reluctantly started to practice again.
"Master's method works." Gui Yi quietly said to Jiao Da: "After meeting with Master, Master Jiao will give us some kind words. Why do I see that the method of training in the barracks is different from mine?"
Jiao Da raised his chin proudly: "This is the method that the master has perfected after returning to the camp. Otherwise, why would I bring you to the camp? It's all the master's idea."
In the afternoon, Jia Daihua left it with Guiyi, the reason being that he wanted to learn about the livelihood of the people in the Northwest through Guiyi.Gui Yi's report was very detailed. They connected with Feng Tang through a general in Yulin, and now they have started small-scale transactions with the Xiqiang people.
The sixty cows brought this time were sold by the Xiqiang people, and they cost a full 1000 taels of silver.Jia Daihua comforted Xiang Guidao: "Don't feel sorry for the silver for your master. When you start buying wool from the Xiqiang people next year and exchange it for the coarse porcelain with the B-shaped belt, the silver will come back."
What came back together was Xiqiang's dependence on Zhuangzi.It's just that it's too early to say, so take your time.
"Master," Gui Yiduo took out a few things from the bag he had brought: "These things B brought back, I think they are similar to the ones drawn by the master, so I brought them for the master to recognize."
They are corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes. Jia Daihua smiled sincerely: "That's right, it's these. Let Yizi harvest at any cost, as much as you can. Next year, Zhuangzi will plant these three."
Guiyi showed embarrassment on his face: "Master forgot, all we have learned is how to kill people. No one knows this kind of crops."
"Your master will." Jia Daihua was in a good mood. These things were so deeply remembered in the present world. There are booklets on how to grow, and you teach those kids how to grow."
Why did I do it, and how did I write a brochure? I can completely cover up the past with just one sentence I saw in an ancient book—the generals are no more delicate than the literati, and Jiao Da and the dead soldiers respect Jia Daihua from the bottom of their hearts. , there is a reason.When it comes to promotion, it will take two or three years to complete. At that time, no one will find out who planted it first.
"There are so many seeds, remember to send them to the various villages, and even copy the planting booklets." Jia Daihua exhorted worriedly.When these three things are planted, starting from next autumn, there will be no need to be ruled by the emperor.
Even if Guiyi doesn't know why the master is so happy, it doesn't delay him being happy for the master.He happily said to Jia Daihua: "The orphans in Zhuangzi want to write letters to their families. I thought that the winter would be boring, so I asked them to learn how to read according to their age. Many children have a good memory and can recognize four to five hundred characters. There are more than 1000 people."
Jia Daihua was reminded, and Xiang Gui said, "In the future, I will send someone to deliver some brochures to you and read them to those children during class. Remember, the first thing is that they must know how to be grateful and know who made them Eat enough and wear warm clothes." This person is not the emperor, but Jia Daihua.
Guiyi took the order, and reluctantly bid farewell to Jia Daihua, fiddling with a piece of silver in his hand, making one think that the smile on his face was due to being rewarded by the general.The soldiers who led him out of the camp joked: "Is this the first time I see such a big silver ingot? Why don't I exchange it with you for copper coins, so that it won't be inconvenient for you to spend it?"
Guiyi looked at me with a look of yours: "My mother said that she has never seen silver, so let me show her the silver this time no matter what." The soldier who said it laughed loudly: "You just want to , I don’t dare to change with you, let the general know, the ten army sticks can’t run away from me.”
He didn't mention how Guiyi returned to Yulin, but only said that Jia Daihua got his reminder and proposed to the generals that soldiers who are tired and uncomfortable every night can learn to read from literate people, and the generals will be blown away at once. Not light.
Self-imposed soldiers are looked down upon, not only because of the uncertainty of life and death, but also because they can't read big characters.Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even if they became corporal commanders or centurion commanders, a lot of illiterate ones were caught.
Now that the general suddenly let these people know how to read, is there any deep meaning in it?
Jia Daihua nodded inexplicably to everyone: "There are too few people in the army who can read and write, and there is a military order that can only be passed on by word of mouth. It will be a big mistake."
Seeing that everyone felt that the reason was far-fetched, he didn’t feel annoyed, and then he gave an eye-catching reason: “Our soldiers, why should they be the top soldiers all their lives? If they can read and write, they can become corporal commanders and centurion commanders if they have the opportunity in the future.” Or join the generals. Wouldn’t it be a joke if you don’t understand your own investigation and cooperation at that time.”
The veteran generals smiled knowingly, yes, if the soldiers they lead are promoted, they will have a stronger grasp of the battalion.It doesn't matter how much sand is mixed in the court, the leader is the soldiers brought out by himself, even sand can be washed away by him.
The new generals also thought of this. Although they are now more and more convinced of Jia Daihua, they are still afraid that Jia Daihua will regard them as the eyes and ears of others.If the soldiers I lead are promising, I can count on myself to rely on them in the camp in the future.
In this way, the Northwest Camp launched a literacy campaign in full swing.Sometimes Jia Daihua would teach in person. What he said was not about profound things, but "Soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers."
Which soldier doesn't like to hear such a topic, even the generals feel that it can be substituted, whether it can be replaced by a general who does not want to be the chief general is not a good general.It's not easy to build up one's energy, the most important thing is to strike while the iron is hot.
Jia Daihua knew this well, and then wrote a few songs himself, and let the generals of each battalion learn it first, and then taught the soldiers to sing them.The content of the song is naturally borrowed, but Jia Daihua feels that as long as it is useful, it doesn't matter who wrote it.
However, he remembered that in the present world, when he heard those military songs during military training, his blood boiled. He didn't believe that these ancient people were more knowledgeable than himself in the age of information explosion.
The ones selected by him were "Unity is Strength", "Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention", "Northwest Army Song", "Big Sword Cuts Off the Heads of the Beirong People" and "Little Baiyang".When taking out these songs, Jia Daihua changed a small part of the lyrics to better fit the tone of the camp in the Northwest.
If Chen Ming was still camping in the northwest, he might have discovered that these songs talked about bravery, unity, discipline, patriotism, and filial piety, but they didn't talk about loyalty to the emperor.But now the soldiers who can read and recognize are all proud of being the first to learn to sing, so they didn't pay attention to this.
What they want to do most is to sing louder, so as not to lose when the whole battalion is in line, so as not to be hit by a few army sticks collectively.Compared with the defenders in the three northwestern states, General Jia did not drink the blood of the soldiers and did not procrastinate the payment of money. hatred.
Now the entire Northwest camp has really achieved singing in the queue assembly. Jia Daihua drove the ducks to the shelves again, and asked the generals to tell their subordinates about the history of the Northwest camp every ten days.
I won’t talk about anything else, whether you have ever been on the battlefield or killed Beirong people, you can pass the test if you talk about this.The generals who were transferred from elsewhere began to be in a dilemma. Not only did they not know the history of the Northwest camp, but they also did not kill the Beirong people. What should we do?
Jia Daihua has a way to let them talk about the experience of the military camp where they stayed, not to mention the prosperity of the garrison, you have to talk about how you became a general.You have never killed Beirong people, you have always practiced, you have always suppressed bandits, and you have been injured, right? Say this.
The damage came so clearly and so quickly.Those who were hurt were all the newly transferred generals, and they soon found that they were far behind the original generals of the Northwest Camp, not only on the training ground, but also in the big tent where they told the soldiers about the history of war.
When the old generals started speaking, everyone, no matter the veterans or the new recruits, listened to howls. They wished that there would be Beirong people in front of them, and that they could be like the generals, chopping people down with a knife in their hands.
Even if he was slashed by the Beirong people, he would still be able to slash the head of the Beirong people with wounds, blood, and a big knife like those scarred generals, and lock the final victory on his own. hands.
When the new generals talked about the beautiful waters and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, their team of three to 400 people would take several times to succeed in suppressing bandits with dozens of people, or they could not even touch the bandits at all. Let people play around.The soldiers did not dare to hiss, they could only fall asleep, and finally the whole big tent snored loudly.
In the end, the new generals had to help their old generals who could speak, and only asked them to tell them more about the history of the Northwest camp.If you don't ask, you don't know. If you ask, you will be shocked.Since the establishment of the Northwest Camp, it has not been attacked by the Northern Army for a year. Sometimes it is the main battlefield, and sometimes it is affected by the flanks.
Now the father of General Jia, Old Ning Guogong, and his uncle, Old Rong Guogong, have guarded the northwest camp. Otherwise, the saints would not directly seize the love and let General Jia guard it. The liver has to tremble twice.
Some new generals also asked: "Since the Beirong people are so afraid of Jia Ziqi, how dare they violate the border every year?"
The veteran generals were all proud: "We, General Jia and Beirong, have a life-and-death feud that will never end. Just wait, one day, General Jia will break through the royal court of the Beirong people."
What's going on with the blood rushing a little bit?All the new generals felt lost: the generals in the northwest camp were the real men who fought on the real battlefield, and their achievements that they were complacent about would only add to the laughingstock here, so let's not mention them in the future.
When the whole battalion had memorized the history of the Northwest camp war upside down, Jia Daihua made another trick: take an exam!
He didn't test the drill situation, but unexpectedly wanted to test how much everyone knew about the military regulations of the Northwest Camp.Now the temple is blown up again, there are only a few military regulations that everyone can use on weekdays, and those who can fully state all the military regulations cannot exceed ten people in the whole battalion.
Come on, there's nothing else to say, don't the soldiers also know how to read, let's recite it.Don’t recite, no one forces you to recite it, it’s your own choice not to recite it, as long as you see that those who recite will get an extra month’s salary, you will have an advantage in being promoted to corps leader in the future, just don’t be jealous or jealous.
Then, in the northwest camp, such a scene appeared. Two soldiers met each other, and one of them asked: "What is Article [-] of the Northwest Military Regulations?" Sell your ancestors for glory."
"That's right, you can recite well." The soldier who asked the question nodded deeply: "The general said, not only must you be able to memorize, but you must also engrave it in your bones. Only in this way, if there is such a day in the future, you will not lose the face of your ancestors." .”
Hearing him mention the general, the soldier who was questioned stood up straight: "I respect the general's instruction."
The two separated smoothly, and the soldier who asked the question had already met the next person: "What is Article [-] of the Northwest Military Regulations?"
This one obviously hasn't memorized Article [-], and Qi Ai didn't say it for a long time. The soldier who asked the question was anxious: "As a soldier of the Northwest Army, I don't know the military regulations, and I will behave badly when I face the enemy. Why don't you go back and memorize it quickly? "
The trainee bowed his head and was about to cry, repeatedly assuring him that he would memorize Article [-] if he didn't eat dinner today.When the people walked away, the soldier who asked the question held his head up and walked forward with broad steps.When the other soldiers saw him coming, they walked away from him so as not to be questioned.
"Who is this guy? Has he memorized all the military regulations?"
"If he has memorized all the farts, he will memorize the eighth one, and everyone he catches will ask this one."
"Then he is not afraid of others asking him something else?"
"Ask him? You won't scold you behind his back. Are you ashamed to ask him? You'll recite what the general said once. It's what the general said. It makes sense after thinking about it a few times. Why don't you bother to ask him?"
It seems to be such a reason.Even Jia Daihua laughed when he heard about it, thinking that there are still talents in the Northwest Army.However, since everyone attaches so much importance to the military regulations, it is always necessary to check whether the result is correct.With a wave of Jia Daihua's hand, each battalion will organize a military competition.
The generals who had never heard of this title gathered in the central army tent, wanting to know how this competition would compare.Jia Daihua asked Li Sen to explain everyone's doubts, and Li Sen suddenly felt that he was knowledgeable.
"The general feels that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the battalion can't just practice every day except for drills. There must be some other activities for everyone. In addition, the soldiers have been enthusiastic about memorizing military regulations recently.
