Chapter 41 The Way to Control the Soldier

Yu Xiaotian is extremely strict and requires his officers and soldiers not to disturb the people without authorization. In addition to requiring large rich people to take money to help the laborers, it can basically be said that Qiu has no crime for ordinary people. On the contrary, after arriving in a place, they often take out some money and food to suffer disasters or bandits in the local area. The people who suffered from the disaster gave some relief and severely cracked down on some local ruffians who harmed the people.

After such a few years, as long as the people heard the arrival of the officers and soldiers, the people in ten miles and eight villages would immediately disperse and escape into the mountains to hide. But now as long as they hear the arrival of the officers and soldiers under Yu Xiaotian, the people will no longer run away. Not only will they not run away, but they often help the old and the young to run away. Welcome them to the roadside, and even take out their extremely limited storage of food, even if they take out an egg to show their feelings.

This makes officials in many places in Fujian look sideways when they see such a scene. They can't figure out how Xiaotian, as the leader of the recruited thief, can be so good at controlling the army. The soldiers and horses under his command are so obedient that they can actually rectify the officers and soldiers controlled by his command so obediently.

In fact, it is no wonder that in the past, some officers and soldiers were the serfs of some military generals. In their spare time, they work in agriculture and have to farm land and food for the military generals. They can't get a little military salary to support their families all year round. It is inevitable that they will resent the military generals. Often once they use troops, the army will use these soldiers to contribute to contribute to him or He worked hard, but he was worried that the soldiers would not work hard for them, so he indulged these officers and soldiers to rob, steal, and force the people, and let the soldiers get some benefits in disguise.

And for the stolen money, they can enrich themselves, or boost morale more or more, so that these soldiers will not be able to fight against the enemy, because of resentment, coaxing them to disperse or even turn against the battle. In this way, if the Ming officers and soldiers have good military discipline, it will be true. Damn it.

However, Yu Xiaotian controls the soldiers without their ills. However, whenever it belongs to the officers and soldiers under Xiaotian, Yu Xiaotian often first emptys all the old generals, and then screens the officers and soldiers, leaving honest and physically strong soldiers, abolishing those soldiers and old, weak soldiers, and recruiting new men to make up. As a soldier.

For these soldiers and generals, Yu Xiaotian ordered them all to be released from work, specializing in training soldiers, and transferred from serfs to professional soldiers. Although the government owes salaries from time to time, Yu Xiaotian never owes these soldiers' food and salaries, and distributes them to them in full every month, so that they can have money to support their families, not because there is no Money to support my family, and I have no choice but to work out some sideline while being a soldier.

And Yu Xiaotian paid out of his own pocket, but if there were casualties in the war, the wounded were treated, the disabled were properly placed, and the dead were given high pensions to their families.

In this way, officers and soldiers are also people. Of course, they know who is good to them. Naturally, they are willing to ban Xiaotian and follow Yu Xiaotian to work hard, because they can get full money every month and be rewarded for their meritorious service. After ensuring their food and clothing, they will be severely punished for violating discipline. In this way, who will return Willing to break the precepts easily!

After Yu Xiaotian's rectification, it is difficult for his military discipline to be corrupt. These soldiers treat him as heaven, which can be said to be loyal to him. Everyone knows that it is thanks to Yu Xiaotian that they can live such a good life now, otherwise they As before, he still lives a dark life of being bullied by the military generals every day.

Therefore, as long as an army is under the control of Xiaotian, it will soon be refreshed by Yu Xiaotian's rectification and become strict.

As long as an army is disciplined and the soldiers dare to use their lives, even if they are not trained enough, they can still explode quite strong combat effectiveness. What's more, after they are transferred to professional soldiers, they can eat enough every day, and then carry out full training every day, even if most officers and soldiers are not like Yu Xiaotian's direct line is equipped with new weapons and still uses the old weapons, but the combat effectiveness is still hundreds of times higher than before.

At the beginning of the third year of the Apocalypse, such a thing happened. A miscellaneous army that had just been compiled by Yu Xiaotian had been defeated by a group of mountain thieves because of the unfavorable suppression of bandits. However, when they had just been incorporated by Yu Xiaotian, in less than three months, they were still the same army and horses, but they were replaced by Yu Xiaotian's direct leader. Under the leadership of his officers, his strength was even less than one-third of the previous one, and he met the same group of bandits in one place.

When the bandits learned that the officers and soldiers opposite were the officers and soldiers who had been beaten by them before, they were immediately happy and rushed up and surrounded the officers and soldiers. They thought that they would definitely be able to defeat them in one fell swoop and beat them again like last time.

But the bandit never thought that it was still the same army, and this time when the number of troops were so small, they seemed to have taken chun medicine, and they did not retreat. Under the leadership of the officers, they shouted for a fierce battle. A large group of bandits could not attack for a long time, but they were finally defeated and fled. He was chased by them like a maggot of the metatars for three days until all the bandits were wiped out.

The leader of this group of bandits couldn't figure out what had happened until his death that he could make this group of officers and soldiers so capable of fighting in just a few months.

Only sea wolves know why. When the same person gets the treatment he deserves, there is no grievance in his heart and worries about his future. Naturally, there are many fewer worries on the battlefield. Of course, he is willing to use his life, a person who dares to use his life, and a man who hates the official and his chest is full. Compared with people who are full of unevenness, the combat effectiveness that can be exerted is not only one layer or two layers apart.

Therefore, the officers and soldiers controlled by Yu Xiaotian can come and go and be invincible in Fujian. However, those officers and soldiers who are not under Yu Xiaotian's control often have weak combat effectiveness and low morale. Although they dare not say that they will be defeated in every battle, it is difficult to compare with the soldiers and horses under Yu Xiaotian's command.

Some military generals can't figure out about this. As soon as they hand over the soldiers to Yu Xiaotian, these rotten soldiers can immediately become lively and become a group of tough soldiers, but in their hands, they are all like furious dogs, with a virtue that can't hold on the wall.

Some people later found that as long as some officers and soldiers are handed over to Yu Xiaotian, they can often get food and salaries regularly and in full. Soldiers will never starve or owe salaries, so they feel resentful and feel that the peak is unfair. Why are they all officers and soldiers? Yu Xiaotian's men are not I owe them a few, but I owe them a few.

These troops will find Shangfeng to make noise one after another. After such a disturbance, they know that in fact, Yu Xiaotian did not get the full amount of food and salary as they thought, but Yu Xiaotian paid out of his own pocket and paid his people, so these goods suddenly shrank their necks one by one and held their breath. .

These people think about it. Even if the government allocates food and salaries to them in full and in time, in addition to part of the money that has been seized by the officials during this period, most of them will have to be detained by themselves to fill their own pockets. In this way, the food can really be paid to the soldiers. There is no one, and it is no wonder that as soon as the soldiers arrive under Yu Xiaotian, they become lively.

In this way, these Fujian generals naturally have nothing to do. They can only be unhappy and can only take off their teeth and swallow in their stomachs. Who let Yu Xiaotian have a wealth and is willing to do such a stupid thing? They are willing to pay out of their own pockets to pay for the officers and soldiers, and these people will not only not do so. On the contrary, they rely on those who squeeze their subordinates to be soldiers. They have to drink their blood to enrich their own pockets. If their men are willing to work with them before the battle, they will really be kicked by the donkey. Since it is no wonder that this matter is unfair, they naturally dare not dare to do anything anymore.

Instead, those officers and soldiers who could not be attributed to Xiaotian's command, after hearing these things, they became more and more unhappy than popular, and were even more unwilling to work under their military generals. They were all looking forward to it and one day they could be assigned to work under Xiaotian.

In this way, the officers and soldiers in Fujian can be said to be more polarized, but almost all the officers and soldiers under the jurisdiction of Yu Xiaotian are high-spirited, with strict military discipline and dare to use their lives.

And those officers and soldiers who are not under the jurisdiction of Yu Xiaotian are full of complaints and their morale declines. They will flee every battle, they will be defeated in battle, and even have a large area of deserters. Many soldiers would rather risk being arrested and kill their heads, abandon their status as soldiers, and secretly flee to Xiaotian's side, even if it is inappropriate. Soldiers, take them to Taiwan Island to farm, and they are not willing to work for the former military generals.

In the fourth year of the apocalypse, it can be said that in the entire military system of Fujian, there are almost only the officers and soldiers controlled by Yu Xiaotian and the power of a war. The shortage of officers and soldiers controlled by the remaining military generals has reached an outrageous level, often a thousand, and there are only two or three hundred officers and soldiers left under their subordinates at most. It's right. Although they can eat more empty meals, they have completely lost their ability to fight and become an army on paper.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Seeing that he entered July of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Yu Xiaotian wore a very simple hemp-style jacket and sat in the study, shaking a big fu fan in his hand and fanning it to catch a cold. In front of him was a bowl of sour plum soup with ice. While dealing with his official business at hand, he suddenly opened his mouth. Lin Yiyang, sitting opposite, asked:

"Yes, Mr. Lin, do you have any feedback on what I arranged for you to do at the beginning of the year?"

By the way, do you dare to ask brothers, who still has a monthly ticket? If there is, don't waste it! Ha ha! In addition, special thanks to the cryosun brothers for their rewards!
