Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 761
The tableware for dining is put together from one family to another.They are all poor families, and many of them fled alone, without even a complete plate or bowl.Even the stool to sit on, the best one is under Zhang Jun's buttocks, and it's patched up piece by piece, with only four complete legs.

With a smile on his face, Zhang Jun didn't care about these things, and exchanged cups with everyone.

Already in October, Hedong has entered winter.But Zhang Jun looked at all the people present, no one was wearing cotton clothes, not even unpatched clothes.It's just that for the rest of their lives, although their clothes are tattered, their faces are full of smiles.

The Jin army drove the people on Jingxi Road to the north, and along the way, their bones lay next to each other. I don't know how many people died.Everyone who survived crawled out of the pile of dead people and got used to seeing life and death.As long as you are alive, there is hope and good days will come.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhang Jun got up and said goodbye.

How could Kong Shiro let him go?Pull Zhang Jun, we must have a good time and break up.

Zhang Jundao: "I just came to the army, I'm busy with everything, I really don't have time. I can only stop here temporarily today, I'm really sorry."

Although he said it mildly, his attitude was very tough.Kong Silang had no choice but to send Zhang Jun out of the village with the others.

After leaving the village, Zhang Jun got on his horse, looked back at the village, and sighed deeply.

Winter is coming, but judging by the appearance of the villagers, how can they survive the winter?If there are people dying of freezing and starvation near the army, it is really unreasonable.But it is not easy to rely on the army for support.

Jiang Min's army had just expanded, and since it had just arrived in Shizhou, everything had to be replenished from the rear.How easy is it to feed so many people?It was not easy to do, Zhang Jun could only sigh.

Wang Xiaolie said that soldiers are the foundation of success.It's just this sentence, I don't really understand much.Even Wang Xiaolie can only give a rough idea, not a detailed explanation.Zhang Jun started in the enemy's rear and went to a military academy to study. He is also smart, and he is a rare person who has a deep understanding of this sentence.

Soldiers and civilians are the foundation of victory, which requires a change in the attitude of the army towards the civilians.No longer regard the common people as providers of money and food, replenishers of military resources, but as their own comrades-in-arms.It is necessary to train and educate the people, but also to solve the production and life of the people.Realize the unity of the military and the people, indivisible.

This process requires a two-way effort rather than a unilateral effort.On the one hand, the army wholeheartedly helps the people, on the other hand, the people are inspired and understand their responsibilities, and support the army wholeheartedly.It is wrong to unilaterally shout that "everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world", and the action of the army must be first.

In the current Song Dynasty, of course there is no need for this.However, it is a matter of course to help solve the production and life of the people.

Back in the official hall, Jiang Min said strangely: "Qian Xia came back so early! I didn't even drink two glasses of wedding wine."

Zhang Jundao: "I'm only here for a purpose, and it's fine when I get my mind. Could it be that I'm staying there so that everyone can't eat and drink to their heart's content?"

Jiang Min laughed when he heard that.

Zhang Jun sat down on his seat.The soldiers poured tea and drank it slowly.

After a while, Zhang Jun said to Jiang Min: "This time we have a banquet and see the lives of the common people. It's really not optimistic."

Jiang Min said: "That's natural. Most of these people are driven away by the golden soldiers and have no means of living. Even if they come to our place, it's just that there are no golden soldiers to harass them. How can they produce food?"

Zhang Jundao: "It's not just that they don't have enough food, they don't even have cotton-padded clothes for the winter. I've seen it, not to mention cotton-padded clothes, even a few people have a piece of sheepskin, which is also a treasure. How can this be done? The winter in Hedong is colder than that in the Central Plains." , so many people will die.”

Jiang Min said: "Qian Ju is over-concerned. They lived like this in the previous winter, so they lived well?"

Zhang Jun smiled wryly and shook his head: "Dutong, it used to be like this. Do you know how many people will die in a year? At least [-]% will not pass the year. Now they are next to the army, how can they still be like this? Frozen in front of us Died of starvation, how to explain?"

Jiang Min was taken aback when he heard this: "Did so many people die? This is not acceptable!"

Zhang Jundao: "Lack of clothes and less clothes, why are there so few people who died? It's just that everyone is used to it, and they don't think so. I asked them, how can they survive the winter without cotton clothes? They all said that it's all about carrying it hard. Those who can't carry it, Take it as fate."

Jiang Min nodded and lowered his head in thought.After a while, he raised his head and asked, "What do you think should be done?"

Zhang Jundao: "In the past, Xuanfu always had to do several things during the winter. One was to check the winter clothes, the other was to try his best to provide supplies for the winter, and the third was to prepare firewood. But even Luoyang is not too cold in winter. Everyone is not paying attention. Now that we have arrived in Hedong, there are only a few ways. One is to urge the rear to provide as many cotton clothes and quilts as possible. Now the army is all made of cotton. In addition to ensuring the needs of the army, there should be more Come out. And the sheep on East Road are cheap. Slaughter as many sheep as possible, and cook the fur to keep warm. Of course, the most important thing is to organize people and let them build houses. Prepare more coal. class so they can warm up."

Jiang Min said: "It's not difficult. Just go ahead and do it, if you need help from the army, just open your mouth."

Zhang Jun sighed: "It's easy to say, but difficult to do. The most difficult and most important thing is to organize people. There are more than 8000 people, a mess is one way, and organization will be another way. But they They are the fleeing people, how difficult it is to organize them!"

Jiang Min said: "What is the intention of Qian Jue?"

Zhang Jundao: "Officers can only be used temporarily. An officer is in charge of as many people as he is in charge of doing things. Let's treat them as the Xiang Army. For the time being, organize people according to the method of the army, and let this winter pass first."

Jiang Min said slowly: "Using officers, things are completely different."

Zhang Jundao: "Is there any way? Time is tight and the task is heavy, and this is the only way."

Jiang Min thought about it.Said: "There are more than 8000 people in total, and the number of officers needed is not a small number. The army has just arrived, and there are many things to do this winter. It takes careful consideration to draw so many people out at once."

Zhang Jun didn't answer, just drinking tea quietly.

Zhang Jun had already thought about this matter on the way. If he didn't do this, this winter would be very difficult.For the fleeing people, the most difficult thing is to organize. If you are not careful, the organization will become a gangster, and there will be endless troubles.All kinds of troubles can be avoided only if the officers are in charge temporarily.Moreover, military officers can select suitable people for a period of time, and they can also form the backbone of social management in the future.
