Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 18 Reorganization
"Lu Huaizhong, you come to be the leader of the rear team!" After the battle, the whole army moved into the camp except for the auxiliary soldiers who cleaned the battlefield and the cavalry who were on guard outside.Shao Shude finally had some time to rectify Xinde's subordinates.

He organized the 150 people into three teams, namely the front, middle and rear teams.The old troops brought by myself are the front team, the closed and advanced troops are the squadron, and the newcomers are the rear team.Although he is already a lieutenant general, he still serves as the captain of the former team. This is not because he wants to get an extra salary, but mainly because he wants to hold on to the military power.

The squadron was still led by Guan Kairun.Shao Shude didn't want to be too ugly as soon as he took office. It would not only easily arouse the opposition of the soldiers in the Guan team, but also might make the supervisor Qiu Weidao think of himself, which would not be beautiful.

However, the newly formed back team must be firmly in his hands, so he asked Lu Huaizhong, who he trusted the most and was very capable of playing, to serve as the team leader.As for martial arts, it is still very popular to use force to convince people. Lao Lu is so fierce that he just keeps these guys under control.

Together with Lu Huaizhong, there were also several veterans of the former team, who used to serve as team deputy, fire chief and other low-level positions.At this time, you must not be polite. The opportunity for major adjustments is often only this time. If you don’t get things done right now, you will have to pay a higher price later, and even your superiors will have opinions on you.

"Thank you, Vice General, for cultivating!" Although Lu Huaizhong was brave and ruthless, it was not that he didn't know what to do.Shao Shude gave him the position of head of the rear team, that is trust, which means that you are ranked higher than others in the inner circle, how can you not thank you?

"You don't have to have any doubts, you can say anything you want. Since you are under the banner of this general, you are all your own people, so you don't have to be too restrained." Shao Shude approached the rear soldiers standing on the grass and smiled. , said: "But I don't have much money. When I was in Xicheng, I used to have a lot of stipends, but in the end it was distributed to my brothers to improve their lives. People, no one is in a hurry, the salary of the army is really not enough. What I can do is to help out in an emergency. Money is the most useless thing for me, Lao Li, how much money do I have in my account?"

"Vice general, I lost a penny and a piece of silk." Li Yanling stepped forward and said with a wry smile, "There were some, but they were all sent out before the expedition. Some brothers' families are burdened, and the elders are still sick. Give it to them."

Listening to Shao and Li slamming each other, the new group of people were also moved.These days, there may be literati who don't love money, but there are too few warriors.Especially the low-level warriors, who can do anything in order to steal money, and do not regard soldiers as human beings. If Shao Shude is really so loyal and sparse wealth, it is indeed rare.

"Vice-general benevolence. Back then, my mother was seriously ill and had no money to buy medicine. It was Vice-General Shao who generously gave me some money to help me. From then on, my life, Zhang Xiaoer, was sold to Vice-General Shao!" A former soldier At this time, he said just right.

Shao Shude was a little surprised to see his blushing face.Of course Zhang Xiaoer knew it, he had been with him for several years, and he had indeed given him two slings of money for emergency treatment, but his mother did not survive in the end, and he even sighed at that time.But this person is very shy and taciturn, I don't know who taught him to say these words, maybe it was Ren Yuji.

"Lieutenant General Shao loves soldiers like a son. I am a native of Xiazhou. I fled to Fengzhou with my younger brother and sister. It was cold in the weather and I had no food or clothing. If it wasn't for Lieutenant General Shao, my whole family would have starved to death. I followed Lieutenant General Shao. After a few battles, my old Liu Ke never showed his back to the enemy. It is a blessing for you to meet Vice-General Shao this year, and you will find out later!"

Another former soldier jumped out and said impassively.Shao Shude felt a little blush, but fortunately it was getting dark, so he couldn't see it.Paralyzed, how does this fellow Ren Yuji do things!How can an illiterate soldier say the above?Although everything is true, it does make people feel a little ashamed to act so fake.

However, it seemed that the effect was not bad. The dozens of people in the back team could hear clearly, the expressions on their faces gradually changed, and there were also whispers.Shao Shude saw it in his eyes, and he was determined in his heart, knowing that today's meeting has passed.The hostility has been eliminated a lot. From now on, as long as they treat each other equally and spend some effort, it will not be difficult to win the hearts of the soldiers in the rear.

"Shao Shude is so benevolent and righteous, so what is there to say! When a soldier eats food, if he meets a good officer, it will be smoke from his ancestral grave. Wei is not talented, and he is willing to obey orders under the lieutenant general's banner!" Just when Shao Shude was determined , a grey-haired soldier in the rear said loudly.And following his statement, the others were not stupid, and immediately scrambled to agree.

"What's your name?" The assist was indeed timely. Shao Shude was overjoyed and immediately pointed to the soldier and asked.

"My name is Wei Boqiu, from Mayi, Shuozhou." The man stepped forward and replied excitedly.

"It's suitable to be the fire chief." Shao Shude said, turning his head to look at Lu Huaizhong.

"My mind is spinning very fast." Lu Huaizhong glanced at him and said, "I will pick a few trustworthy brothers later, and you can take them with you in the future."

"Xie Lieutenant General! Thank you Team Leader!" Wei Boqiu stepped back happily, and the others looked annoyed. Why didn't I think of this.

"Okay, I know you can't take my word for it. It doesn't matter. Some of the people from the back team are transferred to the front team, and some of the front team are transferred to the back team. They are all brothers Paoze, what can't you say? Get along with each other more. Get along and get to know me better, and you will naturally know who I am." Shao Shude said with a smile.

While talking and laughing, Shao Shude decided to exchange some personnel between the two teams.There were no officers in the rear team, except for the promotion of Wei Boqiu to be the fire chief, only a brave guy named Xu Hao was promoted to the fire chief, and he was transferred to the front team alone without any subordinates.

The adjusted front team is Shao Shude, and the five fire chiefs are Ren Yuji, Li Yanling, Qian Shousu, Xu Hao, and Li Renfu. The latter two are newly promoted.

The back team is Lu Huaizhong, and the five fire chiefs are Wei Boqiu, Li Yixian, Sanlang (the name is Shao Desheng, given by Shao Shude), Yang Liang, and Fan He. The latter three are all newly promoted veterans of the former team. Victory was also Shao Shude's personal soldier.

The front team transferred about [-] people to the rear team, and the rear team also transferred the same number of people to the front team. The combat effectiveness of the troops must have been affected, but this is the only way to choose the lesser of two evils. up.

After the adjustment, everyone returned to the camp for dinner under the leadership of Shao Shude.Because he won the victory during the day and captured a lot of things, Hao Zhenwei was overjoyed and gave everyone extra meals.In addition to the normal two Hubing and pickles, there is also broth, which is very good.

After dinner, each had a rest.Shao Shude asked Lu Huaizhong for an extra warning, because tonight they were going to take over from the Guan Kaijun team, and there were a lot of new faces in the team, so he was a little worried, so let him be more vigilant.By the way, now that the two teams are mixed, many people have lost their armor and equipment, and they have to find someone to make up for it, but this is tomorrow's business.

Silent all night.In the early morning of the second day, Shao Shude personally led the front team to guard in front of Qiu Weidao's tent, and incidentally mentioned the issue of the battle.Qiu Weidao knew that this matter was important, so he sent Song Le to the baggage camp to ask for it. The things seized yesterday were put there.

Song Le is also quite capable. Before noon, he returned with the people from the baggage battalion. The sergeants who lacked equipment each brought a long spear, a bow (more than 20 arrows), a pair of leather armor, and a small side. There is no round shield, a horizontal knife, other things such as a long-handled axe, a hooked sickle spear, a long stick, etc., which makes Shao a little disappointed.

But Song Le also brought him a surprise, that is, he got back seven sets of armor, fifteen rifles, and even the equipment they sent to the supply camp yesterday for repair.

Iron armor is a good thing, Shao Shude immediately decided to give all the points to the seven fire chiefs of the front and rear teams.The meaning of the spear is much smaller, but it is not bad. He plans to distribute it to Qian Shousuhuo and Ren Yujihuo of the former team to replace the current spears. After all, the blade is long and the quality is good.

"Song's kindness, Shao must not forget." Shao Shude sincerely thanked him when he found an empty space.

"It's all because of Qiu Shijun's face, Song just ran for a while." Song Le smiled, and then said: "But I have a few words to say to Deputy General Shao."

"please say."

"All soldiers do not attack cities without faults, and do not kill innocent people. Fathers and brothers who kill people, profit people's goods, and children of courtiers and concubines are all robbers. Soldiers who are old soldiers, so punish riots, can't be forbidden. Righteousness. I hope Deputy General Shao will keep it in mind." Song Le said.

Shao Shude was stunned there for a while.

Although he forgot a lot of things during the time travel, as a modern person, he still has a considerable sense of morality, and he was not used to many things.It's just that after following the crowd for so many years, I was actually assimilated by the environment bit by bit, and I feel very ashamed.

When they were stationed in Dongcheng last time, everyone looted the Dangxiang tribe everywhere, and even killed and raped women.He thought it was wrong at the time, but he didn't object too much. On the contrary, he enjoyed the cattle and sheep sent by other departments to honor the supervising army with peace of mind.Don't those cattle and sheep come from looting?

Unknowingly, the moral level has declined a lot!But then again, the world is like this today, if I don't fit in with the group, what will the soldiers think?What do you think of Shangfeng?What should I do?This is a problem.

Song Le has drifted away, but Shao Shude is still there in distress.Some things, even if it is very difficult or even impossible to do it completely, you should try your best to do it.Relying on burning, killing and looting to solve financial problems and maintain the morale of the army, after all, fell to the bottom, and naturally did not have the characteristics of a "king teacher".

Military discipline is very important!
