Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 291 Long-winded
Zhang Jun ordered his subordinates to fetch firewood and set fire to the corpses of Ruan Yuanwai and others.The bones, together with the ashes, were buried in a remote place outside the village.

Ordering people to look at Zhuangzi, Zhang Jun ordered to fetch wine and drink with eight of his subordinates.The others were divided into two groups, one group was on guard and patrolling, and the other group was drinking and eating meat.It was late at night, but the Ruan's house was brightly lit, and Zhang Jun and the others laughed loudly.

After three bowls of wine, Li Tai said: "Observe, what about the women and children of the Ruan family in the backyard?"

Zhang Jundao: "When someone returns to Caizhou in a few days, bring them back together. We are here to fight and kill people. Who has the patience to watch them? Bring them back to Caizhou, and they will be dealt with by Councilor Wang, so we don't need to worry about them!"

Pang Xian said: "It's so troublesome! It's better to kill him with one knife, and it's over!"

Zhang Jundao: "If you follow my temperament, then you can chop them in a row with a knife, so as to save trouble in the future. However, we are soldiers now, and we must obey the orders of the commander. The king observes people, and you know that he is the most refrained from killing people randomly. Who dares to commit a crime, but there is no good fruit to eat. Outside the courtyard are all Ruan Yuanwai's subordinates, if you kill them, you will kill them. If you kill women and children, how dare you go back to Xiangyang to see and observe?"

The eight nodded and said no more.

When he returned to Ruzhou for the first time, Wang Xiaolie was weak and decisive in killing.After Yang Jin was eliminated, the territory expanded and the army increased, but people became more and more cautious.The army cannot steal the property of the people, and cannot bully the people until it is unable to do business and rob the people of their wealth.Up to now, the army has begun to be required to help the people, emphasizing the relationship between the army and the people.Military training is becoming more and more rigorous, but it is getting farther and farther away from the real society, becoming an armed force completely independent of society.

Not many people really understand this kind of change, and most of them are just executing orders.Especially in this era, no matter whether it is an officer, a bandit, or an enemy, they all regard the people as cattle and sheep, and rob them whenever they can.Wang Xiaolie's approach seemed out of place.

Zhang Jun has a lawless temperament, he is restricted everywhere under Wang Xiaolie, and there are too many rules, which makes him very uncomfortable.Moreover, the military discipline has become more and more strict recently, and Zhang Jun feels depressed. This time, coming to the two states is exactly what he wants.

Xinye, in Wang Xiaolie's yard.Chen Yuyi, Shao Ling and Niu Gao sat under the ginkgo tree and chatted with Wang Xiaolie.

Chen Yuyi said: "These days in Xinye, looking at the results of the recent military rectification, it is really unsatisfactory. Many people think it is unnecessary, and more people feel bored. Life in the military is already boring, and you are still doing things every day, so there is no leisure. "

"Free time in the army?" Wang Xiaolie glanced at Chen Yuyi. "What do these people think? Where is the army? They are busy day and night just to fight for battle. I haven't heard a word, sweat more in normal times, and bleed less in war."

Niu Gao said: "But rectification is not training, it is normal for soldiers to complain."

Wang Xiaolie thought for a while and said: "Everyone wants to live a good life. It is normal for soldiers at the bottom to be bored. At this time, you can see the level of the officers at the bottom. Those with high levels can keep the morale of the subordinates high. Full of motivation. Those who are not at a high level can only complain."

Shao Ling said: "But now most of the officers in the army are complaining. Observe, is it appropriate to torment the army like this?"

Wang Xiaolie was stunned for a moment.Looking at a few people, I didn't know what to say for a while.After a long time, Wang Xiaolie said: "What percentage of the middle and lower rank officers in the army are complaining, and what percentage are full of confidence?"

Shao Ling lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked at Niu Gao and said, "Ninety percent of them are complaining, and less than half of them are confident."

Hearing this, Wang Xiaolie was stunned.Ninety percent complained, no doubt, their own rectification has failed.Not to mention the following, but this year's two consecutive victories, Wang Xiaolie's prestige is too high now.

Nodding his head, Wang Xiaolie looked at the red sun on Xitianyuan Mountain, and said nothing.

Shao Ling and Niu Gao looked at each other, looked at Wang Xiaolie, and closed their mouths.

After a long time, Wang Xiaolie said in a low voice: "I always thought that what I did was right, that it would be effective and successful. I just never thought about what would happen if I failed. What if it fails?"

Seeing Wang Xiaolie's dejected look, Chen Yuyi said: "The so-called raising soldiers is nothing more than feeding and warming the army. Observing the knot with kindness and righteousness, the soldiers will definitely fight to the death in wartime. If this is the case, it is a rare strong soldier in the world. Why bother?" Let them read and write, everyone has to explain the truth. The whole world leads troops like this, why should observation be different from others?"

Wang Xiaolie smiled wryly.After a while, he shook his head and said, "During the 30 to 30 years of the rise of the Jin Dynasty, Daliao was destroyed first, and then Kaifeng was broken. Let me ask you, in these [-] to [-] years, did their opponents have the strong army you mentioned? These Can a strong army be evenly matched against the Jin army?"

Chen Yuyi stopped talking for a moment.Yes, not only the Song Army, but even the Liao Army was beaten to the ground in the face of the Jin Army.Last year, when the Jin army crossed the river, there were only tens of thousands of troops, which turned the Song Dynasty upside down.

Looking at the three of them, Wang Xiao said: "You must know that what we are facing is an army that is rare in the world. The Jurchen is less than [-], and it is invincible. The meaning of this sentence is not just that the Jin army In other words, if the Jurchen army exceeds ten thousand, it will be very difficult to deal with. Even with ten times as many troops as the Jin army, it is extremely dangerous. Once the Jin army breaks through a little, it may cause the entire army to attack. Collapse. Why toss the army? Because I want to ensure that the army under my hand, no matter how difficult the situation is, will never be defeated. Only by ensuring that I will not collapse can I have the capital to confront the Jin army head-on. You think it is only to let the soldiers Is it enough to eat enough, wear warm clothes, and make kindness?"

Without waiting for the three of them to answer, Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "It's not enough, it's far from enough. If you don't make up your mind, have great perseverance, and work hard to improve your army, you will have no advantage against the Jin army. Combat is extremely dangerous.”

In this era, the combat effectiveness of an army should not only depend on the number of people, nor the quality of weapons and equipment.Once there is a large gap in combat power, a little bit of it may be defeated and the whole army will be defeated.Numbers don't mean much once the army is going to crumble.

This is not only the case in the era of cold weapons, but also in the era of hot weapons.If you want to train a strong army, the most basic thing is not to collapse.Whether attacking or defending, whether victorious or defeated, the army must always maintain a strong organization.As long as the organization does not disperse, the army is there.

Looking at the three of them, Wang Xiaolie said: "According to what you said, [-]% of the generals are bored, and the rectification failed without accident. Failure means failure, but things have to be done. In the next two or three years, how can this matter be done?" It has to be done. Now we are not prepared enough, and the officers are not enough, and we are more constrained. Then we should prepare first, train the officers first, and then start again when we are ready."

After finishing speaking, Wang Xiaolie said again: "In this matter, I can't be determined and confident alone. You must also be determined and confident. If the senior generals can't understand and fool things around, then there is no way out. "

Chen Yuyi, Shao Ling and Niu Gao hurriedly crossed their hands together: "I would like to listen to the observation order!"

Wang Xiaolie sighed: "The trouble with this matter is that it is not just to obey orders. It is necessary to have a deep understanding and realize the necessity of doing so psychologically and ideologically. Only when the ideological problem is solved, Only then can we really do things well. Forget it, let’s start with the senior officers first. Shao Ling and Niu Gao, each of you will lead a team, and you will take turns, and the commanders and above in the army will learn first.”

Shao Ling and Niu Gao said yes together.

Wang Xiaolie said: "I talk too much, and I feel that I am wordy. But such a big matter, what can I do except to be wordy? Only when you have completed the transformation of your thinking, can I keep my mouth shut."
