Chapter Twenty-Eight: Collecting the Hearts of the Army


readx Zhao Lie stood in front of the temporary public house in the northernmost part of the refugee camp, looking at the much neater and more organized refugee camp.

He still felt very accomplished and nodded with satisfaction.

Wanji looked at his face and slowly felt relieved.

Everything in the refugee camp is complicated.

It took more than two months to sort out many things.

Wanji thought that he had done his best, but everything was based on the satisfaction of adults.

"Tell me, what is the most difficult thing in the camp now."

Zhao Lie did not enter the room.

This office used to be an abandoned farmyard with six or seven straw houses.

This was also the only house here.

Wanji took this place Simply tidying up and doing things, not to mention the environment, but there is a smell in the house, which Zhao Lie doesn't like.

"Sir, there are still more than 3,000 shi of grain and more than 4,500 taels of silver.

There is not much food.

Go to Weihaiwei to sell grain.

Many grain merchants will not sell it for seven cents of silver per shi.

It is obviously because we have a huge demand. , I want to make a fortune, and besides, it’s going to get cold soon, and there will be a disaster.

The people escaped without any clothes.

It’s good to be able to cover their bodies now.

The clothes sent by the old lady have solved a lot of problems, but there are no clothes in winter.”

Wanji explained the current basic situation of the refugees.

There is nothing the camp lacks.

Zhao Lie's eyes turned cold, "To make money from refugees, they forgot that we are the Wei Navy and asked the Navy to help us transport it to Yangzhou.

I don't believe it anymore.

Without Zhang Butcher, we can still eat a pig with hair on it."

Wan Ji, Zhao Meng, and Wu Qun were all stunned for a moment, what a pig with hair.

"As for winter clothes, we also go to Yangzhou to purchase them.

Jiangnan is rich in fabrics.

There are only tens of thousands of people.

There must be some in Yangzhou.

I leave this matter to you, Wanji.

I will give you another ten thousand taels of silver."

Wan Ji grinned, Wan Liang was not enough.

Zhao Lie looked at Wan Ji's face and smiled bitterly, "Take the silk, sword, and folding fan captured this time to Yangzhou and sell them at a discount.

The silver earned will be yours."

Sulfur and copper are of great use.

They can only stay, there is not much left to sell.

"Second brother, there is a shortage of firewood for heating in winter, and the refugees are having a hard time."

Zhao Meng threw another difficult question.

"Charcoal, bring in more charcoal."

Zhao Lie thought about it and decided to bring out the briquettes.

You must know that Shandong is also one of the birthplaces of Chinese people.

Thousands of years of logging have left very few forests, some of which are deep in the mountains and old forests.

"Coal is not expensive, but it is still a big expense after all."

Zhao Meng was also worried about the Zhao family's expenses.

"I have a way," Zhao Lie said about the method of using briquettes.

Briquettes are very simple and cheap flour briquettes.

As soon as Zhao Lie said it, a few people thought they could give it a try.

Once it is done, it will save money. .

"Buy the charcoal first and try making it.

If it works, open a mine yourself."

Zhao Meng made the decision.

After all, he was involved in the household affairs, and he even wanted to control the upstream.

"Sir, many refugees are restless."

Wu Qun looked at Zhao Lie's face.

After all, he had just followed Zhao Lie.

"Some of them don't want to stay around and plan to go to other places to see their luck.

But not many.

Most of them are Let’s see if I can join a slave-killing team, firstly to improve my background, and secondly, to avenge my family.”

"Well, Wu Qun is right," Zhao Lie encouraged Wu Qun.

"However, we will also be recruiting troops and workers on a large scale this year and next year.

We tell the refugees that there is no rush, we need a lot of manpower immediately."

Zhao Lie stayed here dizzy for more than a long time, solving one problem after another.

Although he had a foundation for future business operations, the complicated refugee problem was not the same as pure business management, which gave Zhao Lie a headache. fight.

Before returning, Zhao Lie knew everyone well and reviewed the troops three days later.

Three days later, at the beginning of the morning, a team of two thousand people lined up silently on the beach, two-thirds of them holding long sticks, and one-third of them holding short sticks.

Although his clothes were ragged, he already had the prototype of a strong army.

Zhao Lie stood on a small mound specially built in front of the team for training.

Huang Han, Wan Ji, Yu Dabao, Li Hu, Wang Quan, Du Li and others accompany him.

"Sir, these two thousand people are strong and healthy, half of them are alone, and some have fathers, brothers and sisters, and very few have families.

They all have their families destroyed by the persecution of the slaves, and they have deep hatred against the old slaves."

Wang Quan introduced. the basic situation.

Zhao Lie looked at the team quietly.

He felt the eyes of thousands of people in the team fell on him.

He also believed that the vast majority of people here had a deep hatred for the slave builders.

However, the experience of later generations told him whether he could It is not easy to turn deep hatred into a huge motivation for resistance and put it into action.

After announcing the review three days ago, Zhao Lie thought hard for three days, and his army took shape from here and now.

In his previous life, he was just a middle-level enterpriser.

Of course, he is a man who has the dream of leading thousands of troops as a general.

Unexpectedly, Coming here has fulfilled this dream, but as a former soldier in the army, I don't have full confidence in controlling this army.

But these troubled times force you to save the country and you must start by controlling this army.

This army has a deep grudge against Jiannu for confiscating their families and exterminating their clans.

It is difficult to find anyone in the Ming Dynasty who has such a good foundation for killing slaves.

As long as they are well trained and mobilized on the battlefield, they can fight Jiannu to the end.

However, blood feuds can also be transformed and transformed.

Just like Kong Youde in history, his whole family raised an army in Anshan to resist the tyranny of the old slaves, but he was the only one to escape.

Geng Jingzhong's cousin died in the Jiannu war, and Shang Kexi's father and eldest brother died fighting against the Jiannu.

Two older brothers and one younger brother were trapped in the Jiannu.

Missing at the hands of a slave, he probably died at the hands of a slave.

There was only one person left in the family, Shang Kexi.

These three people had a deep hatred for Jiannu, but they turned to Jiannu one after another and became Jiannu's ferocious hunting dogs.

They and Wu Sangui even killed more Ming martyrs than Jiannu did. , Kong Youde even died fighting for his whole family in Guangxi for establishing slaves, which is really ridiculous.

Something went wrong.

The large number of slaves in the Liaodong military group and the Ming gentry group showed that in order not to lose the existing rights and interests in their hands, they did not hesitate to wear the label of traitor.

They only wanted rights and interests, and losing their power and interests was more difficult for them.

Being a slave and becoming a traitor is even more terrifying.

Therefore, they have to take this shameful step even if they become the laughingstock of the ages.

The interests of oneself and one's family are above that of the country.

For many people in the Ming Dynasty, changing to the Qing Dynasty is just a change of allegiance.

The special thing is that the Qing Dynasty is just a foreign dynasty.

Anyway, the biggest pain is borne by ordinary people.

The common people are nothing but common people, they are illiterate and do not know how to govern and defend their country, which is the life of being represented.

The Qing Dynasty conquered the Ming Dynasty to conquer the resistance of the gentry class.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it This is the reason why the world was pacified.

The gentry who were the backbone of the Ming Dynasty Most of the social classes surrendered, but it was Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and the remnants of the peasant army who were illiterate and fought from 1644 to 1660, while the literate elite and gentry had already surrendered, leaving the wealthy Jiangnan surrendered.

In short, it was the feudal system in which one family was the head of the family and the system of obscuring the people implemented to maintain its rule that led to the tragedy of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, this army can have its own soul and truly know who it is fighting for and why it is fighting.

Only then can this army have its own soul.

It will not fight because of temporary hatred, nor will it perish because of the disappearance of hatred.

They will not be pulled away by individual generals and will truly realize the nationalization of the army.

Therefore, the army is a manifestation of the national system, but in the troubled times that are about to begin, we must first rely on the army to create a new country, and now Zhao Lie is about to build a brand-new army that has never been seen in thousands of years.

Zhao Lie thought over and over again and decided to take several steps to finally achieve this goal.

"Tiger."

Du Quan shouted.

All the soldiers responded: "Tiger."

The whole army stood in awe.

"Soldiers, you came from the white mountains and black waters.

Many of you are already the only representatives of your entire family.

This also shows that our army must have been formed for the decisive battle against Jiannu, so our army is named after the Polu Army."

Zhao Liexian Decide on the name of the army.

"Soldiers, since we are killing slaves for our country, we are fighting for our country.

Therefore, our soldiers should enjoy the treatment of national war.

They will be paid one tael of silver per month, paid on time, and will never be in arrears.

If they die for the country, they will be paid For two hundred taels of silver, the children of the family can be raised and brought up.

If the family loses an heir, the adopted son can be designated to inherit the family name.

After his death, he can enter the Chung Martyrs' Shrine and enjoy the incense forever.

The soldiers are fighting for our Ming Dynasty, and the blood they shed is for our Ming Dynasty and the people.

I, Zhao, swear here that I will never let you bleed and shed tears, leaving behind you in misery," Zhao Lie said firmly.

Looking at the commotion queue, he shouted with all his strength: "We are not Qiu Ba, we are the patron saints of the Ming Dynasty.

What we want is the incomparable glory behind us."

Before Zhao Lie finished shouting his last words, the crowd was already kneeling on the ground one after another, shouting "die for your Excellency" intermittently.

Most of the soldiers firmly believed that they were brought back to Shandong from the troubled times in Liaodong by their masters.

They were provided with food and clothing so that they would not die of cold and starvation, and they were given the opportunity to kill slaves for revenge.

There was nothing more they could ask for.

Unexpectedly, I would be able to enjoy the honor of enjoying incense after death.

It was worth it.

Liu Fugui and Zhou Huaien burst into tears in the queue.

The general did not abandon them, but brought them back from Lushun, recovered from their injuries and brought them into the army.

He is the reincarnation benefactor of both of them.

The two of them had only one thought in their minds, to avenge their blood by killing the slaves.

Countless people in the team choked with sobs and shouted: "I will die for you," "Kill all the slaves."

Zhao Lie finally shouted: "Next, the soldiers will receive their pay in line."

Zhao Lie believes that when everyone receives their pay, the army will be at peace.

Li Hu bowed and saluted with sincerity: "Congratulations, sir, for showing off your military spirit."

Everyone on the side nodded in congratulations.

A fast horse galloped in.

When it arrived in front of the earth platform, it dismounted and reported that the adults returned to camp
