Daming kill

Chapter 70
Because Li Ping came to the villa ahead of time, the military merit commendation meeting had to be postponed.

Considering that the adjustment is about to start, many people will have to talk, some departments and organizational structures will have to be set up in advance, and the original system will disappear soon, so this matter will not be delayed.

For this reason, the ongoing moving and settling must also temporarily give way.

In the morning of the second day when all three sentries entered the villa, in a hurry, the military exploits commendation meeting was held in a rough and simple way by finding an open hillside.That's fine, if a war breaks out, it's normal to hold more meetings in such an environment.

After much consideration, in order to better encourage the troops, as well as to create a demonstration effect and set a template for everyone, this commendation meeting finally required all officers and soldiers from the three sentries to participate, and Li Ping naturally took over the original plan. Hosting rights implemented by Mayon.

Although the preparation time is very short, for Li Ping, such an event is very easy to organize and manage. He is so familiar with it that he can sit there and talk with everyone without preparing a speech.

A series of procedures, such as introducing the situation of the battle, paying tribute to the brothers who died in battle, reading out the meritorious personnel and their deeds, wearing red flowers, beating drums to enhance the atmosphere, giving speeches by outstanding representatives, issuing rewards, summarizing commitments, etc., can easily lead to a unique feeling The solemnity and sense of mission are enough to make the bumpkins who have never seen the world in this era feel unprecedented freshness and enthusiasm again.

The fly in the ointment is the music that almost ignites the passion.

But even so, in an age when both material and spirit are very scarce, this very mature form of later generations still produced a very strong effect and gave people a violent impact.

To use an inappropriate analogy, it is like the shock of the mainland people when they first came into contact with Hong Kong and Taiwan movies and songs after the turmoil of the last century: Oh!It turns out that the song can still be sung like this!Life can still be like this!

In the afternoon, when Li Ping, who finally had a good sleep, woke up and was planning to talk to the company commanders he planned one by one, Ma Yong's request for instructions disrupted his plan again.

The group of miners came early.

On the way slowly walking to the gate of Zhuangzi, Ma Yong explained to Li Ping: "Han Jiu, who led the team, said that they came all the way south, suffered countless hardships, and suffered countless sins. No one has ever regarded them as It seems that they have never had a full meal. Yesterday, Li Guerrilla allocated three days of food in one go without making any contribution to them, so that they could eat enough. They have nothing else to do , and have no worries, let alone long things, only a handful of strength after eating, knowing that Li Gueran must have a lot of work to do when he first entered the new site, and they came to work in advance."

Li Ping has always been curious about this group of miners, and has some expectations.Not for anything else, but because of the particularity of their work, miners are a group with the best physical fitness and the most disciplined awareness in this era, and they are the best source of soldiers.

In modern history, there are many examples of using miners to quickly complete the replenishment and training of the army and form a high combat effectiveness.

Today, he was a little surprised that this group of miners could find them so quickly in an unfamiliar place, and it also added more curiosity.

But no matter how curious they are, they can't show their urgency and let them have thoughts that they shouldn't have.Therefore, Li Ping continued to step down and said to Ma Yong calmly: "Let's take a look first! They came at the right time."

When he arrived at Zhuangzi's gate, the group of miners did not disappoint him.

I saw that on both sides of the road outside Zhuangzi, although there were people sitting everywhere in the dark, the whole road was still very smooth, and there was not even a single person on the road, and they also kept a rare quiet all the time, appearing to be quite well-behaved .

Seeing Ma Yong respectfully coming out with a young man in a light gray narrow-sleeved collar shirt, Han Jiu, who was squatting there with a straw in his mouth and looking around, immediately guessed the identity of the person who came.

Immediately, he threw aside the wide ring-headed sword without a scabbard that he was carrying all the time, then rushed up and knelt down with a "plop", and began to pray loudly.

The thick voice caused hundreds of people sitting on the ground behind him to raise their heads and look over in an instant. The crowd was slightly turbulent, but still quiet.

After Li Ping asked Han Jiu to get up sullenly, he looked at the tall man curiously.

Han Jiu is very tall, and he is probably on a par with Zhao Jin.His eyebrows are thick, his bones are large, and his face is hard and rough.This is Li Ping's first impression.

If you look closely, Han Jiu's hair is very messy, and a bamboo stick hastily been inserted into his head. It is not too dirty, at least compared to the pile of short brown hair on his body that is full of patches and has holes everywhere Sleeves) are much cleaner, probably washed on purpose.

Han Jiu is very thin, but the muscle lines on the calf exposed under the short trousers and an arm missing half of the sleeve are still very clear, and at the same time, the yellowish and dull skin is more clearly exposed.

He should have been strong, but now he has been starving for a long time, and his physical condition is very bad.

Han Jiu was looked at by Li Ping unnaturally, and he lowered his head a little apprehensively.

However, Li Ping didn't say anything more, but quickly walked along the avenue to the group of sitting people.

Those sitting on the ground saw Li Ping approaching, some hurriedly stood up with their heads down, some knelt down, some showed flattering smiles, some were expressionless, and some boldly said The last sentence is "Hello General".

Li Ping turned around in the crowd sullenly before returning to the gate of Zhuangzi, staring at Han Jiu who was at a loss and asked, "Have all your people arrived?"

"General, they are all here, not a few of them." Han Jiu replied nervously.

"When you enter our camp, you must obey my military orders. Are you ready?" Li Ping asked seriously.

"Ready, ready, don't worry, general, I, Han Jiu and my brothers, will only follow the lead of the general in the future, but there is an order, there will be no second word." Han Jiu was a little frightened and replied loudly as he knelt on the ground with a "plop".

Li Ping glanced at the large group of mostly scattered miners, but said flatly: "Okay, let's listen to Chief Ma's arrangement later." Then he turned and walked into Zhuangzi.

"Design!" Han Jiu answered Li Ping's back loudly with dignity, but a trace of doubt flashed across his face.

At this time, Ma Yong had already entered the villa with Li Ping, and no one paid any attention to him.But Han Jiu didn't dare to get up, so he continued to kneel and looked in awe at the two well-dressed guards who looked like sculptures at the door.

He had already discovered that even without the presence of the Shangguan, the two health officials remained motionless.

This made Han Jiu feel an indescribable anxiety, and even a strong oppression. He realized that the rules of this army were far, far greater than he had imagined, and I am afraid that they were also much, much harsher.

But a more perplexing question rushed into his head again, and he finally couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "Chief of Staff Ma?"

Inside Zhuangzi's gate, Li Ping said to Ma Yong with emotion: "They are all made of good soldiers! You can arrange them to find a remote place and let them wash them again. Keep a close eye on them and wash them clean. All the old clothes were burned, and we had to make sure that there would be no fleas or lice. We gave everyone a new suit and a pair of shoes, and found a place for them to live. Let them work for the next two days, which is when there is a lot of work. It’s also good to observe and observe.”

After explaining, Li Ping walked back contentedly.

But within a few steps, Qian Dongzi, a soldier following Li Ping, couldn't help asking: "Sir, why are they so anxious?"

"Look at their appearance, can it be any worse? Their faces are all swollen, and there is not even a single one with flesh on their bodies. It has been a long time since they have eaten enough. There are not many decent weapons in their hands. , They are all a bunch of junk. Someone is willing to take them in and give them enough to eat, how can it be worse than now! Be active and please me, maybe you can be more comfortable, right?" Li Ping He said with a smile that he was in a good mood.

His sullen face was for Han Jiu to see, and he had already relaxed after entering the villa.Moreover, his two personal soldiers are going down to lead troops, and he would like to say more, hoping that they will have more knowledge.

"Oh! Then, sir, why do you think they are good soldiers? Their condition is not good. Many of them are almost skinned. I heard from the horse guard that no one is willing to accept them." The soldier Ma Guang then asked.

After following Li Ping for a long time, they are more or less familiar with Li Ping's personality. Their chief is not a person who is easy to show off, and as long as he does not touch his bottom line, he is still a very easy-going person.

Sure enough, Li Ping continued to explain patiently: "Look at their performance, so many people can basically keep quiet all the time, and they have rules. They know that they don't occupy the road, and no one talks too much. This shows a considerable sense of discipline. Much stronger than you used to be.

Looking at their bodies again, although they don't have much meat, they are hungry. Most people's bodies look pretty good. This is the result of long-term labor, and it also shows that they can still maintain a minimum energy intake.Where did it come from, this scene can only be robbery, but it is not crazy robbery.Otherwise, with their scale, how could they look like refugees and beggars now?
Humanity is not lost yet!

Let's talk about their profession, miners, this is a profession that requires cooperation and discipline.The performance mentioned above confirmed their professional characteristics, and even those with poor health could not eat that bowl of rice.You say, isn't such a group of people born soldiers? "

After hearing this, the two soldiers looked at Li Ping with surprise and admiration.

……

I went back to the room and drank a bowl of tea, then lay down on the chair and squinted for a while.Just when he was about to get up, the soldiers came to report again, saying that Zhou Wen's people had also come to report that the horse sentinel had announced.

The chief of staff and other new titles have not yet been officially called at this time.

After Li Ping said to himself, "Interesting!", he didn't go immediately, but instead covered himself with a thin quilt and continued to lie down, and he got up again after a while.

At the gate of Zhuangzi, Ma Yongzheng was waiting with a young man who looked like a young scholar.There was also a large group of people around Zhuangzi, but there was a constant buzzing sound from this group, and many of them were crowded on the road, but it seemed that the number of people was about the same as Han Jiu's.

Han Jiu's people were quickly led away by Ma Yong.

Seeing Li Ping coming out accompanied by two soldiers, the young scholar just bowed to Li Ping respectfully, introduced himself briefly, and stood aside.

This young scholar's name is Zhou Wen, and his style name is Boda. He is exactly that troublesome scholar.

Zhou Wen was a scholar, seeing that Li Ping didn't kneel down, he couldn't be called arrogant.

But Li Ping still felt Zhou Wen's arrogance, and he couldn't say whether he liked it or not, so he didn't speak for a long time, but looked at the group of people brought by Zhou Wen from a distance.

Then he said lightly: "Didn't all your people come?"

"To report to Guerrilla, the stalls in my camp were huge, and it was not easy to clean them up. Guerrilla was promoted and moved to a new camp. I thought it was time for people to work. I didn't wait, so I voluntarily gathered 300 people to listen to Guerrilla. Dispatch, try your best, and the rest should be able to arrive within three days." Zhou Wen replied calmly.

However, Li Ping still didn't show satisfaction as he expected, and he didn't say any polite words. He just said "Oh" expressionlessly, and continued to stare at the group of people he brought in silence.

After a while, Li Ping suddenly said with a stinky face: "Military law is ruthless. Once you enter our camp, you should regard military orders as the first priority. Do you understand?"

"Understood, you should obey the military orders." Zhou Wen frowned and replied in a neutral manner. He didn't know that Han Jiu's people had already entered in front of him.

"Okay, I have always been strict in running the army. I don't show favoritism or favoritism. You have to be mentally prepared early. If you can't stand military law, I won't be polite." Li Ping became more serious.

"That's natural, we will definitely obey the law." Zhou Wen's face darkened a little.

Li Ping glanced at Zhou Wen jokingly, turned around and left without saying any more.However, after turning around, Li Ping murmured in his heart: "You can come here honestly, but it saves me from thinking about wrong ideas. However, I still have to kill your vigor!"

Li Ping was indeed surprised that Zhou Wen came to report, and it was a bit inconsistent with their initial information.Although I don't know the reason, but it's always right to earn under his command first.

After entering Zhuangzi, Li Ping confessed to Ma Yong: "They also need to wash them well, don't deliberately separate them from Han Jiu, and observe carefully, especially that Zhou Wen. The clothes they have are not bad, so you don't need to burn them all. Let’s deal with it. Distribute clothes and take a bath carefully to see how many soldiers can be recruited. If you are not a soldier, you can directly send out variegated clothes and prepare to enter the security camp.”…

Li Ping does not want to have too much actual contact with these groups of people at the moment, and he never expects to make others willingly bow down and serve him with a few words.

Sometimes, superiors must keep a certain distance from subordinates to strengthen the sense of oppression and distance. Especially for recruits, majesty often promotes them to quickly develop a sense of obedience and fear.

Never before in history has there been a strong army whose internal relations are like buddies.
