Chapter 17 Determining Military Regulations

At this moment, Yu Mingjun, who went out to inquire about the news, rode back, which showed that Yu Mingjun had figured out the situation here, otherwise he would not come back according to Yu Mingjun's character.

Yu Mingjun got off the horse, and then came over quickly, nodded to the other generals who were also sitting on the ground with a smile, and then hugged Liu Xia and said, "General, the last general has probably figured out the situation here and live up to his mission."

Liu Xia said, "Well, tell everyone all the details here, sit down."

Yu Mingjun got Liu Xia's order, and then sat cross-legged on the grass and opened his mouth to the crowd: "Where we are now is already the location of Yingchuanwei of Fengyang Mansion. To the west is the boundary of Kaifeng Mansion, to the north is Guide Mansion, and to the south is Luzhou Mansion."

"Fengyang Mansion? It has arrived at Fengyang Mansion and is about to enter Henan. By the way, this area should belong to the control of the Qing army. How about the military forces here?" Liu Xia thought for a moment and asked Yu Mingjun, and the others also listened sideways.

Just now, Liu Xia has said that they are going to the Central Plains in the end. This place is about to arrive, which means that they are about to fight. Of course, they have to listen carefully.

Yu Mingjun replied, "This place was originally a guardhouse. It has been in war all year round. There are not many people in this place. At this time, the main elite army of the Qing army is chasing Li Zicheng all the way, and it is the Duo army in Yangzhou all the way. There are not many elites in other places, mainly surrendered generals, and their combat effectiveness is not very good. . The general has the confidence to annihilate them all."

"The last general heard that there was a large family 50 miles away, surnamed Zhao, Zhao Yan, and built a large castle called Zhao Jiabao. He has three sons. The eldest son is a cripple, the second son is blind, and the third son is a playboy.

There are hundreds of servants. Their surnames usually bully the people and annex thousands of mu of good land. They do all kinds of evil, traitors, and the wives and daughters of the shewd farmers. They can only swallow their anger. If they are not careful, they may be killed by them. After the Qing army came, they opened the castle, treated them with good wine and meat, and even pulled the little beautiful wives and daughters of the co-enterants over to drink and warm the bed with the tairts. The next day, after the Qing army left, many wives and daughters of the peasants hanged themselves.

"Their rampant hegemony is famous in this area. It is common for people to kill people, **, wives and daughters. If someone dares to come to the door, it will definitely be killed with a stick. Zhao Yan betrod his two daughters to a little leader of the Qing army who came that time. Originally, he wanted to find a backer, but from that time After the Qing army left, he did not come back and there was no contact. I heard that his two beautiful daughters were given to his boss by the little leader at one opportunity, so he was promoted.

A few days later, the boss became uninterested in the sisters and rewarded his men. As a result, a pair of beautiful sisters were raped to death by dozens of big men.

"After Zhao Yan heard this, he didn't say anything, and didn't even want his daughter's body back. You should know that the two women were directly thrown into the messy grave after they died. The reason why he didn't come back was that he was worried that the Qing army would make trouble for him if he knew it, and even said to the outside world that those two were not his daughters. Son."

Liu Xia did not grieve about the suffering of the sisters. In such a troubled world, there are more miserable things than them, in troubled times! Xing, the people suffer. Forget, the people suffer.

Bian Sai behind Liu Xia just bit her lip, didn't say anything, and even squeezed out tears, because she has experienced and seen more tragic things like this, and she has long been used to the law of troubled times.

Liu Xia glanced at the soldiers and said, "Such a villain should be eradicated. What are the people? The people are our food and clothing parents. Without these farmers, what shall we eat? What to drink? However, these hard-working farmers are not only not respected as they should, but are bullied by people at all levels. Everyone here must be from poor people and should know the sufferings of farmers. At the beginning of the year, I was busy inside and outside, but in the end, I didn't have enough to eat and wear, and I starved to death everywhere. And those landlords and officials are still constantly forcing farmers to squeeze them.

"If the order goes on, in the future, we will not be allowed to bully the farmers in our team, or we will be killed." Although Liu Xia was born as an official eunuch in this life, it is impossible to understand the peasants at all, in the twenty-first century, Liu Xia was a real peasant background, so he also has a lot of affection for the peasants and a deep understanding. What's more, if you want to control a regime stably, you must first have a good relationship with the farmers. Water can carry a boat or overturn it!

"Yes, general" Although the generals don't know what Liu Xia is thinking, most of them are farmers, and many people can't survive before they become soldiers, so they all agree with Liu Xia's words.

Liu Xia continued: "We don't have much food now. We need to find some food to bully the people and take away the farmers' only grain. Then let's eradicate the landlords and bureaucrats who bully farmers. This time, our goal is Zhao Yan. This evil thing is our next goal. Is it clear? And Yu Mingjun, have you inquired about the situation in Zhaojiabao?

Yu Mingjun hurriedly said, "General, the last general specially inquired about it. In the past, there were a lot of armed forces in Zhaojiabao, with 200 people, but since it was ruled by the Qing army from here, the number of robbers here has decreased, so Zhao Yan reduced his armed forces in order to spend less money. Now there are still 100 armed men left in Zhaojiabao. And because Zhao Jiabao did not know our appearance at all, they are not prepared at all now. The last general thought that if we are surprised, we can definitely easily enter Zhaojiabao.

As soon as Yu Mingjun finished speaking, Ma Peng began to shout and said, "Fight, what are you afraid of? I'll attack directly."

Liu Xia took a look at everyone and then said, "Everyone says how to fight."

Liu Dazhuang said, "The last general thinks that we should wait until the night is dark, and then wait for their defense to relax, send people to climb up the head of the city, open the gate, and finally go in."

After Liu Dazhuang finished speaking, Niu Chao also said, "What are you doing when it's dark? Just rush in directly. Don't be afraid that you can't win."

Everyone directly ignored Niu Chao. This guy is a fierce general, but he can only be a general, not a handsome man.

Liu Xia took a look at Zhang Yuan and then asked, "Zhang Yuan, what do you think? Tell me."

Zhang Yuan immediately said, "The last general agreed with Da Zhuang's words. After all, we are now within the scope of the Qing army. If we can not expose it, we will not expose it. While it is dark, we will go directly into the city, kill the landlord's family, empty the grain and grass, and leave directly. Even if the government here gets the news, we don't know who did it."

Liu Xia nodded and said, "Okay, that's it. Gather all the soldiers. I want to talk about discipline."

Regarding discipline, Liu Xia has thought about it for a long time. When he was in Yangzhou City, there was no need to talk about discipline, but now that he is out of Yangzhou City, if he is allowed to let these soldiers do wrong, then this army will definitely pay for it, and this disciplinary regulations have been brewing in Liu Xia's heart for a long time. The three major disciplines of the Red Army have been slightly changed.

With Liu Xia's order, the generals returned to their camp one after another, and then called all the soldiers over. More than a thousand people stood in a large team, and then stood neatly in front of Liu Xia.

Although it looks quite neat, the rags and different colors of clothes are simply destroying the atmosphere. Liu Xia feels that if she finds a base, the first thing is to change her soldiers into new military uniforms.

The scene was very quiet. No one spoke, and they all looked at Liu Xia eagerly. Liu Xia was a synonym for invincible in their eyes. The soldiers admired Liu Xia very much, so the way they looked at Liu Xia was eager.

Liu Xia nodded with satisfaction to the mighty master in front of him, and then shouted, "Sit down."

"brush"

All the soldiers and soldiers sat on the ground neatly, only Liu Xia stood, and the guards who were watching the horses not far away. Bian Sai also sat on the ground at this time, next to Liu Xia.

Liu Xia stood and said excitedly, "As the saying goes, there is no rule. A division of a hundred battles must have an iron discipline. Next, I will talk about our military rules!"

These people thought Liu Xia was going to say something, but they found that it was a military rule, so they were a little disappointed. Every army has military regulations, and there are many military regulations of the Ming army, but there are not many people who implement them, so they are not optimistic about Liu Xia's military regulations.

More than 1,000 people are former veterans. Although their combat effectiveness is very strong, they also have a lot of problems. Liu Xia feels that he must tell them about military regulations and let them correct those useless problems. Because what Liu Xia wants is not a group of hooligans, but a tiger and wolf teacher, a brave teacher.

Liu Xia continued: "Military law, first: all actions are under command. If you have any comments, you can put forward them in advance. If you agree, but when executing, delay the fighter, don't put the overall situation first, don't listen to the commander, and kill!"

The soldiers didn't say anything. Every army is like this. It's normal for them to have a day.

"Second: Don't bully the people. Once found, cut it! We are officers and soldiers, not bandits. We are not allowed to rob, rob the people, kill the people, and bully the people."

After listening to this article, the soldiers whispered to each other. In troubled times, it was normal to kill people, especially the army of the Ming Dynasty, which often slaughtered villages and killed good deeds. But they dare not oppose the rules set by Liu Xia. So the chaos soon quieted down.

"Third: Everything is captured and attributed, and then distributed according to the size of credit. Once it is found, beheaded!"
