Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 763 Military Orders Are Like Mountains
Qiu Sheng lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "When I left, Zhang Qianxia had only been there for a few days, so I couldn't tell. Everyone is satisfied, which I admire very much.”

Wang Xiaolie sighed: "Zhang Jun is such a person, there is no way to do it. I hope Qiqiao puts all his thoughts into doing things and doesn't harm him."

Qiu Shengdao: "Before arriving in Shizhou, Zhang Qianzhi first looked at the transportation of grain and grass. The land boat at Hukou was changed to transport the upper and lower river sections separately, which saved a lot of effort. But after arriving in Shizhou, this matter was just mentioned casually. I didn't go into it. The subordinates think it's not easy."

Wang Xiaolie nodded, with a smile on his face, and didn't ask any more questions.

Qiu Sheng is the secretary in charge of Jiang Min's army. He is very familiar with how to transport, store and distribute grain.Qiu Sheng is most aware of the significance of Zhang Jun's transformation of the Yellow River water transport into segmental transport.Qiu Sheng was grateful for not taking advantage of the opportunity when the new official took office to hold on to this matter.

Wang Xiaolie was well aware of this, and knew that it was Zhang Jun's method to win people's hearts.In this way, it is better than discord in the entire chain of command.

This is the best.Zhang Jun knew the seriousness, and he didn't rush to seize power as soon as he took office, and he was at odds with the staff of the headquarters.Instead, maintain a harmonious relationship first, and then start working slowly.The current Zhang Jun is indeed much more stable than before.

Not mentioning Zhang Jun, Wang Xiaolie asked: "What is the most difficult thing in the army now? Logically speaking, with the Yellow River water transportation, you should not be short of supplies."

Qiu Sheng sighed.Said: "There is no shortage at all. Jiang Dutong has made proper arrangements. As long as there are two more shipments, the supplies will be enough. However, Zhang Qian is under the jurisdiction, and the people who have fled to Shizhou must also be managed, and the supplies will be tight. .”

Wang Xiaolie didn't know the specific situation in Shizhou, so he hurriedly asked, only to know that there were so many people who had fled to Shizhou.

After thinking for a while, Wang Xiaolie said: "What Zhang Jun did was right. We are short of supplies, so we should find a way to transport more. If the Yellow River is frozen, even if it is by land, we must find a way to transport it. I often say that soldiers The people are the foundation of victory, and the people are our foundation. Many people have heard this sentence, and even often say it, but they don’t know what it means. Simply put, with the people, we have the source of troops and supplies. Only then can we have the capital to win. People who lead troops should not only look at the present, but also think about the future. Well, if there is no shortage of food, I will find a way to transport the supplies to Shizhou to keep out the cold."

Qiu Sheng said: "Thank you Xuan Fu. It is too troublesome to manage all the eight thousand fleeing people in Shizhou."

Wang Xiaolie didn't speak, but secretly sighed in his heart.In this day and age, not to mention the farsighted words that soldiers and civilians are the foundation of victory, many armies regard civilians as consumables.It is far-sighted to be able to be regarded as cattle, sheep, pigs and horses, and many of them are just looting and killing.

After asking about Shizhou's situation in detail, Wang Xiaolie let Qiu Sheng leave.

Looking at Qiu Sheng's back, Wang Xiaolie frowned.It seems that this year is going to Shizhou.

Wang Xiaolie really wanted to build Luoyang well and make it a place full of flowers.But in the current situation, I can't stay in Luoyang all the time, I have to walk around and have a look.Shizhou is a must. If you don’t see it with your own eyes, you can’t rest assured.

Standing up, walking to the window and looking at the scene in the yard, Wang Xiaolie fell into deep thought.

On the morning of the third day when Qiu Sheng arrived in Luoyang, the soldiers hurried over and said that Wang Xiaolie had summoned the envoys of the various armies.

After entering the Henan government office, Qiu Sheng faintly felt something was wrong.The atmosphere is very serious, with a bit of chilling meaning.Arriving outside Wang Xiaolie's official hall, he saw many envoys standing in the courtyard with heavy faces.

In front of the crowd, Wang Xiaolie walked lightly with his hands behind his back.His complexion was iron black, and he seemed very unhappy.

Qiu Sheng quietly stood beside Zheng Tianguang, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

Zheng Tianguang whispered: "Xuan Fu seems to be dissatisfied with the gifts from the various ministries, so he called people to lecture."

After hearing this, Qiu Sheng couldn't help feeling anxious.The gifts I gave were all local specialties, I'm afraid they won't satisfy Wang Xiaolie.

Wang Xiaolie suddenly stopped and asked the soldiers next to him, "Is everyone here?"

The soldier said: "Xu Yan is still missing."

"No need to wait!" Wang Xiaolie waved his hand violently. "The things Xie Linong sent are mostly gold and jade treasures, just let him take them back!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Xiaolie turned around, looked at the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "This time, my wedding was originally planned to be held quietly, so as not to bother everyone. But someone below found out the news and felt it was inappropriate. Luoyang Xinde, it is exactly When Vientiane is renewed, we must celebrate it. It makes sense, so let the divisions send representatives to attend the wedding, and have a lot of fun. To attend the wedding, you have to give gifts. It is always bad to be empty-handed. After much deliberation, The Xuanfu Division issued an order that gifts can only be local products from each division's residence, and must not exceed fifty guan."

Having said that, Wang Xiaolie glanced coldly at everyone.Then he said: "Why did you issue such an order? The divisions are stationed in other places, and the boats and vehicles are exhausted. What money can they have? To give expensive gifts, they can only be picked out of the soldiers' mouths. How can a soldier detain a soldier?" Diet? If you don’t eat well and don’t wear warm clothes, how can they still fight? Send some local products, as long as you’re interested. I’m afraid you’re thinking too much, so the Xuan Fusi ordered it.”

After finishing speaking, Wang Xiaolie's gaze was like a knife, and he looked at everyone coldly.After a while, there was a sudden thunderstorm, and he shouted loudly: "Are you farting when you think my military order is? More than half of the divisions gave gifts, as well as gold and jade wares, and even antique calligraphy and paintings! You are all unified, and you are all in your mind. What are you pretending! Military order, you don’t know what a military order is! Any gift sent over fifty pennies, no matter what it is, will be taken back. The people in the headquarters will buy it with their own money. If there is not enough money, I will Give money to buy things! Pay back the money you owe slowly!"

"Those who have given more than fifty gifts, stand up! Now that you have received the gifts from you, go back the same way! Go back and tell your Dutong and Qianju, so that they understand what military orders are! If you dare to disobey military orders, everyone in the headquarters will be punished." Demotion to three ranks, just to see the aftermath! You don’t have to attend the wedding! You don’t give me face for disobeying the military order! Wouldn’t it be a joke to drink again!”

Hearing these words, at least half of the generals standing below trembled.These people have followed Wang Xiaolie for many years, and this is the first time they have seen Wang Xiaolie become so angry.When he spoke at the end, his voice and voice were harsh, which made people shudder.

Qiu Sheng thought about it again and again, although the gift he gave was a local product, it was indeed more than fifty guan.After hesitating again and again, he still walked out.

Seeing Qiu Sheng coming out, Wang Xiaolie looked him up and down, and said, "You go back. What you are giving away is local products, even if it exceeds fifty guan, it won't be too much."

Qiu Shengdao: "Back to Xuanfu, when the jujubes were harvested, the price suddenly increased a lot. We really have no choice but to buy them after we agreed to buy them. We can't let the folks ship them back. So——"

Wang Xuanlie nodded: "I understand. How can the price of local products be so clearly differentiated? As long as it is not too outrageous, there is no need to stand up."

Although his expression was calm, Wang Xiaolie still felt it was funny in his heart.This Qiu Sheng was too honest, he was really stuck on the fifty red line he had drawn.In fact, the amount of money is just a reference, how can it be used as a standard?The real thing to look at is whether the gift is a local product.

Military orders are like mountains.

Wang Xiaolie was afraid that everyone would not pay attention to it, so he specially asked the Xuanfu Division to issue a military order.Who would have thought that there would be so many smart people, and the gifts sent by half of the teachers still far exceeded the standard.With Wang Xiaolie's status, how could he covet his subordinates' belongings?What matters more is that many people don't take military orders seriously.

How can an army treat military orders like a joke?No matter how small a matter is, as long as it is issued by military order, subordinates must pay attention to it.If orders are lax, what hope is there for this army?
For the subordinate divisions, military orders are a big deal.They must pay attention to it, not change it, and implement it without hesitation, which is what they should do.
