Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 499
Although Nantang has been in operation for several years in name, in fact, what Du He took over is just a mess.Since crossing the river this time was not dominated by the central government, it could not rely on the imperial court for funding. Even Du He's title of "supervisor" was earned by Shen Zhezi.

After observing around the camp, Shen Zhezi was still very satisfied with Du He's management, and he couldn't help but feel lucky that he had chosen someone, which was really worth the money compared to Yu Liang.At the same time, he also decided to find a chance to kill Guo Mo after returning to Jiangdong.

When Yu Liang managed this place in the early years, he chose Guo Mo to host it.When fleeing later, Yu Liang died, while Guo Mo and Zhao Yin were expelled by Shen Zhezi and fled to Jiangzhou.Zhao Yin is Wang Dao's man. He first served in Liyang, and after being driven away by Yu Yi, he returned to the capital to serve as the general of the guard.

Guo Mo was more embarrassed. Although Wen Qiao also accepted him at the time, he didn't use him too much. He didn't have any outstanding achievements in the chaos last year.Later, Wen Qiao returned to the capital as Minister of the Book, and this person stayed in Jiangzhou.According to those people in Jiangzhou, this person is also quite excluded in Jiangzhou at the moment, and his life is not comfortable.

Yu Yi lacked people to use, and originally wanted to use the old man left behind by his elder brother, but because of Guo Song's relationship and Shen Zhezi's dislike of Guo Mo, he gave up this idea.To tell the truth, Shen Zhezi himself does not object to making a fortune in the country. Right now, there are too few people who can be as clean as water, but the premise is that they must be able to do things.

Judging from the situation at that time, Yu Liang's management of Nantang can be said to be an extremely important arrangement, which is related to the safety of Gyeonggi.But this Guo Mo is simply joking about the safety of Jiangdong and the gains and losses of Gyeonggi, so to repay the benefactor, this crime alone is not an exaggeration!

The area named after Nantang is actually very large. Although Du He wiped out a considerable part of the bandits hiding in it, he was able to keep only a small part of it.And because he was worried that the action would be too eye-catching, he did not continue to advance north, and chose a river valley near the left to station.

The camp is located on the east side of the Tushui River. Once you encounter a strong enemy and cannot resist it, you can directly carry important people and things onto the boat and go straight down into the river.To the west is the tidal flat, which is difficult for boats and horses to avoid sudden attacks.To the south is a piece of low hills, which can be used to fight with opponents when there is no large cavalry team formed.

Just from the location of this camp, it can be seen that Du He really put his heart into it, not only to repay Shen Zhezi for his kindness, but also to manage this place as the foundation of his career.

When Shen Zhezi and his party entered the camp, it was already dark.Because of Du He's order not to publicize the news of the son-in-law's arrival, not many people in the camp knew of Shen Zhezi's arrival, but due to the arrival of new supplies, the whole camp was still filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

When people live in a difficult environment for a long time, their sense of expectation will inevitably decrease.Du He's subordinates are full of descendants of the original guards, who were dispatched here because of killing Liang and looting. The living environment here is far from being comparable to that of Jiankang.After surviving the initial hardships, they gradually got used to it, and like ordinary soldiers, they rejoiced at the arrival of a large amount of supplies.

In addition to being well spent, for them, this also means that they have not been given up. If they can succeed in hard work and wash away their early sins, they may not have a future at all.

The entire camp was divided into three parts, one part was Du He's main combat force from across the river. Originally, Shen Zhezi had provided him with the parts, plus the training and selection in the past half a year, there were already more than [-] people.Although he is not considered a fearsome master in Jiangbei, he is also invincible in Zuojin.

The other part is the criminals and conscripts from the east of the Yangtze River. They are also organized into battalions, which are not only the labor force for reclamation, but also the soldiers who assist in combat.There is also a part of the refugees recruited after crossing the river. Due to the laxity of people's hearts, these people can not be used as soldiers, and they must be strictly prevented from escaping. The most important labor.

Generally speaking, although Du He's department is still difficult to call a strong town in Jiangbei, at least the basic prototype has been established.And because of the support of Jiangdong's abundant materials, the room for growth is much larger than those of the local docks.

At night, all the generals gathered for dinner, and many people knew that the son-in-law had also arrived, and the atmosphere at the banquet was very lively.Du He also made an exception, allowing those who were not on duty to drink three buckets of alcohol each, and the atmosphere was very cheerful for a while.When Xiao Yuandong crossed the river this time, he witnessed many important events in the capital, and when he mentioned Shen Zhezi's "Shi Shuo Xin Yu" edited in Shen Yuan, everyone also clamored for it, and there was no lack of ideas for making their ancestors famous.

"Today, I'm on the battlefield with you all, so I won't make those Jiangdong lies anymore. The so-called Zhongxing famous scholars are mostly the generation of Chongxuan chasing the last generation. Don't pay too much attention to the work of playing games in leisure time. To regain China in the future, An Ding Zhongyuan, that can truly be called the great cause of ZTE! At that time, the "Record of Famous Officials of the Great Cause" will be written, and that will be the real historian's pen and the grand song of Han Zuo!"

Shen Zhezi picked up the wine bowl with a smile, and said to everyone: "At that time, I hope that I will be lucky enough to be famous on the Huazhang together with you, and it will shine through the ages and shine in the past and the present!"

"Encouragement! Drink victory!"

The joyous drinking didn't last long, and the generals returned to their accounts under Du He's order.

Although it was late at night, Shen Zhezi didn't feel sleepy.For him, Jiangbei was a new battlefield, and even all the efforts in the past were to pave the way for crossing the river.Therefore, he was eager to know all aspects of Jiangbei's information, so he forced Du He to talk in depth.

"It is indeed a great encouragement to the hearts of the people that the son-in-law can cross the river in person! Although my generation does not lack the ambition to create, but since I grew up in this town, I have not made achievements for a long time, and my ambition will inevitably be slack. What's more, Jie Nu Day The trend is big, the old people are alienated, and the imperial court is rarely a feat. Although it is resilient, it is embarrassing!"

Recalling the lively atmosphere at the banquet just now, Du He couldn't help but be moved with emotion.Although for ordinary soldiers, life across the river was hard, but there were no too tragic battles.But for Du He, it was like facing a big enemy every day. Not only did he have to plan and operate on a piece of wasteland, he also had to beware of enemies that might appear at any time, and more importantly, he needed to maintain his morale.

Every man should not take away his will, once a person loses the support of his will, the consequences will be very serious, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is walking dead.Although Du He had the experience of guarding the family business in Guanzhong in his early years, but now his tribe is much more complicated, and his thoughts cannot be generalized, and he needs to use different methods to encourage different people.In order to maintain morale, he expends more energy than anything else.

"Daohui, you have done a good job. It is very rare to leave your hometown without breaking down."

Shen Zhezi affirmed Du He first, and then smiled and said: "Confucian boys are self-willed, and a strong man has no courage. Military law spurs, thousands of people are alike, this is the general strategy of running an army, and it is essential. But if you want to let The true unity of people needs to express one's feelings after all. For example, I have been in the capital for a long time, and I occasionally heard folk songs, and I couldn't help but kiss the singer in my heart to comfort my homesickness."

While talking, Shen Zhezi took out a booklet and handed it to Du He: "Recently, I have been in the capital, and I have been thinking about how to inspire people. When I hear the local accent, I am far away from love. Human feelings are the same. There is no exception. If you can make people feel better People from the village of Zhuangwu take boldness and heroism as their hometown song, and sing and sing it, which is strong enough to be strong and fierce."

In the booklet are some military songs written by Shen Zhezi. It is nothing new for military songs to boost morale nowadays. The ancients have long had insight into the influence of music on people's emotions.Like a passionate drum, it can be used not only as an order to command the army, but also to mobilize people's emotions.

And Shen Zhezi refined these military songs, such as daily drills, returning to camp to rest, turning off lights at night, and eating in line, all of which have songs.As for the lyrics, they are also ready-made, such as Hu Renren and Han Daochang, the tunes are high-spirited and full of emotions, which can not only stimulate people's arrogance, but also subtly strengthen the education of nationalism.

Although singing can't directly turn an army into a million-strong army, but this kind of thing itself is beneficial and cost-effective, why not do it?Moreover, the morale of the army and the sense of identity in the hearts of the people are themselves created bit by bit.

Of course, Shen Zhezi's main purpose of crossing the river this time is not to teach people how to sing.Briefly explain this matter, and then discuss the specific situation faced by Du He's troops.

"The Northland has been in chaos for a long time. In fact, none of the parties has a strong desire to submit to the master. In the past, I also followed my son-in-law's instructions and sent out famous invitations to all parties, but there were very few people who responded, and more people still went their own way. , and even warned me not to cross the border."

Speaking of the psychology of these Wubi masters, Du He was also a little helpless.Of course, we can’t criticize these people for being unfaithful. To be honest, as far as he is concerned, if his family hadn’t offended the high-level officials in Jienu, even if the country was captured, it would be a big deal to surrender to Jienu. His appeal is too bad, and he didn't show the heroic feelings that he is bound to win the Central Plains and that he is incompatible with Jienu.

"At present, there are still three remnants near Nantang. One is the old Xing family of the local area. It gathers people from the countryside to build a fort on the mountain. Thousands of people are gathered, and there are thousands of people who can fight. But they have never communicated with the outside world. There was no response from the imperial court for many times. One is the remnant soldiers of Yuzhou, unwilling to go north or south, entrenched in the old city of Chuxian County, with three thousand people gathered, and their hearts are unpredictable. The other is in the east. According to people, he is the concubine of the Chen family, the Duke of Guangling, and has frequent contacts with various families in the Huai region."

Du He also talked about the specific personnel and affairs that the department is currently facing: "Among the three, the Xing family is hard to use, and the Chen family is arrogant and hard to get through. As for the old city of Chu County, the people of the department are difficult to adjust. I have communicated with them many times. On this day, the internal response is selected, and we are preparing to gather people to discuss it in the near future."

　For many emperors, they feel that the Sui Dynasty is the most magnificent, with the founding of the emperor and great cause.The reign title of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty can well reflect his psychological changes. The contrast between Kaihuang and Renshou is obvious. . .In other words, I want Shen Zhezi to use Daye in the future, which is really very angry. . .
