please make me king

Chapter 14 The Dojo in the Snail Shell

There is a lot of grain in the Mengjin granary, but not as much as imagined.I don't know if this granary originally stored so much, or it has been misappropriated and embezzled by previous county magistrates.At this time, his subordinates all suggested that Zhang Shun open a warehouse to release grain and recruit troops wantonly.Zhang Shun didn't obey, but replenished his troops in the county town, and still maintained about a thousand troops.

In this battle, he led more than [-] people, but he couldn't resist the impact of [-] or [-] people, which made Zhang Shun deeply realize the truth that "soldiers are more expensive than elites."After Zhang Shun arranged for Zhao Yutou to be responsible for the distribution of food, he called Chen Jindou and asked him to send a few people to find out if there was any book of war in the city.

I am not born with knowledge, whether I have military talents, I can no longer use troops in such a muddle.In troubled times, those who have enough soldiers and enough food are the grass head kings.The food problem has been temporarily solved, but I still don't understand how to train troops and how to fight wars.

The military education I received in my previous life is divided into three types:

One is the military training I participated in when I was in school. Apart from firing a few bullets in the middle, the most useful thing is to practice in formation.After all, it is said in online novels that an army that is able to step in order and change queues is a strong army, and it will be beneficial to line up and shoot.

The second is the online novels I read.Although it is the words of a novelist, it is somewhat reliable after all.According to my own reading of the novels of Hundred Schools of Hegemony, they all follow the practice queue, right-clicking with a long gun, establishing a base, blasting iron, making flintlock guns, queuing up and shooting. Such a gradual development and growth process can be used as my program for a period of time in the future. sex file.

The third is to play a simulated combat game like "Roman Total War" by yourself.My own rules for this type of battle formation can be summarized as follows: the spearmen in the middle resist, and the cavalry on the two wings assault.

The question is what do I do now?How can a group of messy farmers be upgraded to pikemen?Yes, first of all, there must be a long spear. Let Chen Jindou be responsible for collecting the long spears in the city when he is looking for books by the way, and then let Zhang Sanbai be responsible for finding the blacksmith to make some spear heads.

While thinking, Chen Jindou arrived.By the way, Zhang entrusted him with collecting books and spears.After receiving the order, Chen Jindou saw no one was around, so he whispered to Zhang Shun, "Master, I have something to tell you."

Seeing his mysterious appearance, Zhang Shun said strangely, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Chen Jindou imitated how he acted in an opera, cupped his fists and said, "I have the audacity to impeach Zhao Yutou for his ineffectiveness in fighting, which almost caused our army to be defeated!"

"What?" Zhang Shun was stunned. There were only a few gangsters under his command, and they started fighting among themselves.

It turned out that Chen Jindou and Ma Daochang were the first batch of old people who took refuge in Zhang Shun. They always regarded themselves as loyal ministers, and the newcomers were all speculators.What's more, these two people only know some charlatan skills such as face-to-face and prophecy, and they don't understand political and military construction.Instead, Zhao Yutou offered advice and suggestions to come from behind and steal the limelight.

So Ma and Chen were deeply jealous of them, and privately recruited Zhao Yutou, his grandson Zhao Lizi, Zhang Sanbai and others recommended by Zhao Yutou into the "Zhao Party".Although Chen Jindou failed to arrest the county magistrate this time, he beheaded Dian Shi's dog's head, thinking he had made a contribution.Looking at Zhao Yutou's defeat this time and suffering a great loss, he thought that the lord would punish him, but he didn't expect that Zhang Shun would still let this person be in charge of food distribution, and his favor would not diminish, so he couldn't help but ask "Zhao Yutou" "Party" leader Zhao Yu found it difficult.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but smile and said, "How do you say that?"

"The first credit for this attack on the city was Zhao Lizi. He sneaked into the city secretly, and we broke through the difficult opening of the door through our internal and external cooperation." Chen Jindou first praised the old Zhao's grandson to show that he was right about the matter but not about others.

"Secondly, Monk Wukong, he directly defeated the defenders of the granary and the troops brought by the county magistrate. He made a great contribution. If it weren't for him, we would all die here. He also overthrew the county magistrate. The contribution is indispensable!" The lord's apprentice is relatively stupid, and he is also close to the lord, it must be boasted.

"Thirdly, my old Chen also played a small role. I checked the gaps and made up for the omissions, and cut the history. In order to avoid other variables. The rest are quite satisfactory, so it's not worth mentioning!"

"Only Lao Yutou's attack was ineffective, and he was taken advantage of by the enemy. In the end, he threw away his helmet and armor, only to save himself. Since ancient times, military law is ruthless. Please use military law to punish him, so as to make an example of others!" Chen Jindou sternly shouted.

Hearing this, Zhang Shun was a little bit in a dilemma. He was just a bit of a bird, and he didn't want to engage in such a thing.But now it seems that not rewarding meritorious deeds and not punishing mistakes is really not convincing.However, this is just the beginning, not to mention Zhao Yutou, even he himself doesn't know the art of war and strategy, so he can drive ducks into battle.If he was picky, he would kill all his mistakes, and he would probably have no one under his command.

So how to grasp the scale is really difficult.Of course, this Chen Jindou didn't actually expect Zhang Shunneng to cut off Zhao Yutou, he just found an excuse to attack Zhao Yutou's prestige, in case this person would compete with himself and others in the future.

Therefore, Zhang Shun said: "Everyone has just started the army, and the system is still incomplete, so you can't be so harsh. People are not sages and sages, and there is nothing wrong with it. Besides, you and I are both common people, and we have never heard of soldiers. The enemy is strong and we are weak. Damage is inevitable."

"If you criticize others today, how can we deal with the mistakes we make tomorrow? What's more, today only Zhao Yutou and I were defeated. How can I be an exception when it comes to crimes?"

"However, not rewarding meritorious deeds, not punishing faults, is not what you do. After this matter is settled, I will reward you with meritorious deeds." Seeing that Chen Jindou opened his mouth to speak, Zhang Shun added.Chen Jindou originally thought that the lord wanted to protect Zhao Yutou, but he didn't expect the lord to act impartially, so he couldn't help but smile when he heard it.Zhang Shun frowned when he saw this, and thought: Don't let everyone criticize each other, you need to be moved with emotion and understand with reason.

Then he pulled Chen Jindou who was about to leave, and said with emotion: "Old Chen, don't leave, I want to chat with you in private. I am originally a white body in Chenzhou Prefecture, and I am farming in the fields. It is only because the Taoist Ma I was imprisoned only after telling the truth. At that time, I had no relatives and no friends, so I was not working every day, and the earth was not working.”

"Huh? Ma Niubi has done such a thing?" Chen Jindou said in surprise, but he didn't expect that this fellow would offend the lord, so he remembered it for now.

"At that time, only Daoist Ma and Grandpa Liu Yinggui ran for me and saved my life in prison. Later, when I went to Yuzhou, you old Chen worshiped me three times under the starry night and recognized me as master. And for us I tried hard to persuade Li Jiyu to vote for me, but I didn’t succeed, and I had to work hard without any credit. Besides, a few days ago, you, Lao Chen and Lao Ma, discovered that the flood was about to rise, and saved my life from the water and fire. Only then did we have the opportunity to kill the old thief Qian, and now we have the achievement of occupying a city."

"Don't dare dare!" Chen Jindou himself blushed upon receiving the lord's face-to-face praise.

"I, Zhang Shun, have deeply remembered all the great favors you and I have received from you and me. You are the first old people who followed me. You should also know that if you want to achieve great things, you and I alone can't do it." There will be more people involved in it in the future, if you do this again and again in the future, what will I do with myself? How will you do with yourself?" Zhang Shun looked at him calmly.

"Death crime, capital crime! It's Lao Chen, I'm narrow-minded!" Chen Jindou didn't know that it was Zhang Shun beating himself, but he didn't have any complaints in his heart.

After he recognized Zhang Shun as the master, he always felt that he had accomplished nothing.He was inferior to Daoist Ma in terms of seniority, inferior to Liu Yinggui in terms of kindness, and inferior to Zhao Yutou in terms of ability. Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun could still remember the little things he did so clearly.

Zhang Shun hurriedly helped Chen Jindou up, and comforted Tianzao with a stick: "You and I are not great talents, but great talents are needed to achieve great things. I know your loyalty better than anyone else. In the future, you You have to check for my leaks and make up for my gaps, and monitor those who are treacherous and evil, so stop criticizing each other like this."

"Attacking Mengjin City this time is a risky act. We all don't know how to use troops, and victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. You have made great achievements this time, and I can reward you for anything you want. As for Zhao Yutou Let me punish you with a small punishment. After all, talents are rare, so don’t hate my reputation as a thirsty talent, and dampen the determination of the heroes of the world to take refuge in you.”

Chen Jindou was convinced after hearing this, and bowed again and retreated.Zhang Shun and Chen Jindou got closer because of this incident.

After a while, Zhang Sanbai and Zhang Wuhao were led by the messengers.Since Zhang Sanbai had accepted the nomination certificate, Zhang Shun did not hesitate to hire someone.After sorting out the complicated mood just now, he explained to Zhang Sanbai how to find a blacksmith to make gun heads.After explaining, Zhang Sanbai was about to leave, but Zhang Wuhao stopped him and mentioned the matter to Zhang Shun.

"Although the people in the minister's guard house have no talent or virtue, fortunately, they have some common sense under the influence of their ears and eyes. Now they know Zhang Sanbai's supernatural power, and he can open a three hundred catty hard bow. This is rare in ancient and modern times. But he doesn't know how to shoot. In the future, you should seek a famous teacher, and you must not shoot arrows on your own, or you will develop a 'shooting disease', and the 'shooting disease' will be broken into the bone, and the gods will not be able to save it. I can't bear to ruin such a good talent, so I tell you." Zhang Wuhao is serious. Said.

It turned out that this guy was half-hearted, but this time he was forced to follow Zhang Shun.Both parties knew this matter well, Zhang Shun himself knew it, and Zhang Wuhao naturally knew it too. Zhang Shun knew it too.Zhang Shun arrested Mr. Qian because of his lack of talent, so he did not force him to submit a certificate.

Because Zhang Sanbai beheaded the county magistrate in public, Wu Hao's heart was shaken, and he remembered that he had embarked on the road of rebellion for no reason.Zhang Shun and the others were treacherous and vicious, if they couldn't hug Zhang Shun's thigh tightly, they might end up as the county magistrate one day.

So in order to eliminate suspicion, he smoothly integrated into Zhang Shun's group.This time he deliberately came with Zhang Sanbai.One is a suggestion to express one's heart with Zhang Shun, and the other is to show Zhang Sanbai a good relationship and get close to each other.

Zhang Shun is happy to see this matter come to fruition. On the one hand, it can calm Zhang Wuhao's heart. On the other hand, talents need to be recruited and cultivated. forgive yourself.

Therefore, Zhang accepted Zhang Wuhao's suggestion by the way, and suggested that Zhang Sanbai use the ghost head knife that cut off the county magistrate, or ask the blacksmith to make him a suitable weapon to temporarily replace the bow and arrow on his body.
