The rise of the poor

"Nephew, nephew, the three of us sat in the tent and talked about the past and the present. Our thoughts collided fiercely, and we continued to have wonderful ideas. Finally, we summed up the famous generals of the past dynasties and discovered a shocking secret to improve the combat power of the army."

Uncle Zhu Shouren walked up to Zhu Ping'an as soon as he entered the tent, and said to Zhu Ping'an with a proud face.

In order to attract Zhu Pingan's attention, he deliberately used the words "shocking secret" as a gimmick.

"Oh, please tell me, uncle." Zhu Pingan was really interested.

"All the armies that can fight have one thing in common, that is, orders and prohibitions, and clear rewards and punishments. To achieve orders and prohibitions, and clear rewards and punishments, you must..."

Uncle Zhu Shouren, with his hands behind his back, walked slowly around Zhu Ping'an, talking eloquently, and even turned a blind eye when it came to key points.

"Uncle continue." Zhu Pingan said very cooperatively.

The uncle talked confidently, "That is to say, you must be strict and ruthless in running the army. Nephew, you must also run the army in this way to improve the combat power of the Zhejiang Army."

"Yes, uncle, you can think of this. It's really good. It's just that the military discipline of our Zhejiang Army is already very strict. This is the military discipline book and the law book issued last month."

Zhu Ping'an first praised his uncle Zhu Shouren and the others, then took down the military record book and the law booklet from the bookshelf, handed them to uncle Zhu Shouren and the others, and said to them.

In fact, Uncle and the others have the military record book in their hands, but they haven't read a single page, and it's the first time they've even seen the law book.

"How strict can military discipline be..."

The uncle said disapprovingly, and the three of them got together and looked through the military record book and the law book together.

First of all, he opened the military record book, page after page, and looked at it, and the faces of the three of them turned pale.

"Eating is disciplined, you have to line up, and if you violate it, you will be beaten with a military club."

"Also, there are disciplines when going to the latrine, and if you violate it, you will be beaten with a military club..."

"What's more, there are disciplines even when walking in the barracks. If you violate it, you will be punished with a military club, and you will be killed if it is serious..."

"Even sleeping is disciplined. If you fail to put out fires and lights, or make noise, you will be punished severely. If you fail to get up on time, you will be punished with a rod once, doubled twice, and executed three times..."

The three of them looked at the military record book in their hands, their faces turned pale, and even eating, drinking, and sleeping were strictly regulated, not to mention daily drills and marching and fighting, which were even more strictly regulated.

As for "Lian Si Fa", they opened it and looked at it. Not only did their faces turn pale, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

"Get promoted and get rich, please go away; if you are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't join the Zhejiang Army!"

The couplet at the beginning of the volume of "Lian Zuo Fa" shocked their hearts, as if a monster saw a door god.

"Ah? The superior officer is sitting on the ground for the inferior officer?! If the inferior officer is greedy for life and fears death, and flees the battle, the superior officer will be guilty of the same crime?!"

The opening chapter of "Consecutive Sitting Method" is that the superior officer sits consecutively, and it starts directly from Zhu Pingan, the coach of the Zhejiang Army, which shocked the three of them.

"And the lower-ranking officers have to sit for the higher-ranking officers. If the lower-ranking officers retreat and escape, resulting in the death of the superior officer, all the officers at the next level under the officer will be executed! If the soldiers retreat and escape, causing the death of the corps leader, all the soldiers in the army will be executed." !"

Seeing this, the uncle and the three of them not only had cold sweat on their foreheads, but also a layer of cold sweat appeared on their backs.

"What's more, soldiers have to sit back and forth between soldiers. If there is a deserter, all the soldiers in the first army have to sit back and forth. Half of them will go to jail, half of them will have their pay deducted. During war, they will all be punished with one hundred sticks. This guy, How many people can bear the punishment of a hundred rods?!"

"Too strict, too ruthless..."

Uncle and the three of them couldn't help clicking their tongues. If they don't move, they will be punished with a stick, and if they don't move, they will be executed, and they will even sit down at every turn. This is so strict. How can there be more strict space? Tyranny is nothing more than that.

"Uncle, look, is there room for more strictness?" Zhu Pingan asked with a smile.

Uncle and the three of them shook their heads again and again. How can we be strict? We can’t draw lots to kill one every day, just to make an example of others?! Even if they don’t understand military affairs, they know that they can’t do such nonsense.

"It seems that I have to trouble Uncle and Mr. Hu and Mr. Xia to continue working hard." Zhu Pingan said.

"Should be, should be." Hu Wei and Xia Qiang nodded repeatedly.

Zhu Pingan dealt with military affairs in the tent for a while, then took out a book from the bookshelf and read it.

After watching for a while, a guard came in and reported that Liu Dadao had bought hundreds of horses back from the city.

"There are so many, let's go and have a look."

Zhu Pingan nodded happily after hearing this, put down the book and followed the guards away.

With this batch of horses, Zhu Ping'an can start to form a mobile and flexible cavalry, which will be of great benefit to future operations.

After Zhu Ping'an left, uncle Zhu Shouren, Hu Wei and Xia Qiang quickly walked to the window, watched Zhu Ping'an go further and further, and after making sure that Zhu Ping'an would not return, the three quickly came to the handsome case.

It was the uncle who quickly picked up the book that Zhu Ping'an was reading just now.

"Brother Zhu, hurry up, Master Zhu has read a page for a long time, which page is it?" Xia Qiang asked impatiently.

"This book is co-authored, and there is no crease on any page. How do you know which page it is?" The uncle flipped through the book, but he didn't see any page numbers with creases. Said.

"No hurry, brother Zhu, put the book back on the table quickly. This book is considered new, and it uses Donghui rice paper. Whichever page is read for a long time, the marks of its folding will be heavier. The other pages are obviously different, as long as they are placed on the table, they can be seen at a glance." Hu Wei said with wisdom.

Uncle Zhu Shouren quickly put the book on the table, the three of them squatted down, their eyes were at the same level as the book, and looked carefully, and sure enough, they saw that one page had obvious curvature, and the color was a bit darker, which was obviously different from the subsequent pages.

"That's right, it's this page." The three couldn't help being overjoyed.

It was the uncle Zhu Shouren who had quick eyesight and quick hands, snatched the book over, and couldn't wait to turn any page.

Hu Wei and Xia Qiang also immediately squeezed their heads away, staring at the book in uncle Zhu Shouren's hand with wide-eyed eyes.

"This is the story of Cao Cao's crusade against Yuan Shu, who pretended to be emperor. During the crusade, Cao Cao was short of food and grass, and encountered a severe drought. The soldiers could not eat enough and complained constantly. He finally borrowed some food and grass from Jiangdong Sun Ce, but it was still not enough. The food and grass officer reported to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao ordered him to use small dendrobium to distribute food to the soldiers. The food and grass officer asked in surprise, if the soldiers were not full to eat, what should they do if they mutinied? Cao Cao said don't worry, he has his own way. Cao Cao approached the grain and grass officer and asked him to borrow something to appease the anger of the soldiers. What did the grain and grass officer ask? Cao Cao said that you had a head on your neck. Then, the grain and grass officer was beheaded by Cao Cao on the charge of embezzling grain and grass, and the morale of the army was calmed down... "

Xia Qiang likes to read the Three Kingdoms, and he is familiar with the stories of the Three Kingdoms, so he can see the content of this page at a glance.

"How does the content on this page inspire the improvement of the army's combat power?" The uncle rubbed his chin in doubt.

"I guess Master Zhu is worried about the lack of food and grass. Didn't we ask us to write a paper to apply for food and grass for a month from Suzhou City yesterday? Today, Suzhou City hasn't delivered the food and grass. I guess Master Zhu is thinking about this."

Hu Wei thought for a while and said slowly.

"It makes sense. However, this is a pity. It has nothing to do with what my nephew wants us to do. It can't inspire us. Just now when we said, "Ordinances are prohibited, rewards and punishments are clearly defined, and the army must be strictly governed," the nephew obviously looked at us with admiration. gone."

The uncle nodded regretfully.
