Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 55 Miao Daheng decided to follow the rebels wholeheartedly

After hearing this, Hua Yun asked angrily: "Why do you want to remove your armor and weapons?! It's just a military salary, it's not like you want to get a bride."

"Brother Hua, don't be like this. This is a rule set by Mr. Zhang, and the superiors have agreed to it."

Qi Xiang joined Zhu Yuanzhang's team later than Hua Yun, so he called Hua Yun his eldest brother.

After hearing this, Hua Yun complained: "Mr. Zhang, why do you have such rules again?"

For the officers and soldiers of the rebel army, more and more rules have been set recently, which makes them a little impatient.

Hua Yun was just one of them, so he said something rather puzzled at this time.

"The reason I mentioned just now is to avoid the commotion when the military pay is released later and there will be lives. What's more, wearing armor and carrying the food and pay back home will be unbearable for the body and bones."

Qi Xiang patiently explained at this time.

But Hua Yun wanted to show off, and also wanted to show off his power in front of his subordinates, so he said to Qi Xiang: "You look down on me and think I can't carry rice even if I wear armor? Do you believe that when I get married, I can wear heavy armor?" I will carry you into the bridal chamber."

The rebels behind Hua Yun all started laughing.

At this time, Qi Xiang was not yet in his prime, and he was a bit thin-skinned. He blushed instantly when Hua Yun teased him like this.

At this time, Zhang Cheng and Zhu Yuanzhang also heard laughter outside.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to pay the salary in person, Zhang Cheng was not in a hurry to sign and review the raised salary. He just walked over and asked, "What's going on?"

Since Zhang Cheng had acted very assertively and majestic when he captured Chuzhou City, the people who followed Hua Yun were a little afraid of him.

Therefore, after Zhang Cheng arrived, Hua Yun and the others stopped laughing and couldn't help but become serious.

Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Hua Yun: "It's you Hua Yun again. Brother Qi Xiang is now my personal guard. What do you mean by laughing at him?"

"Mr. Zhang, he is your personal soldier, not your son. Why are you protecting him like this?"

Hua Yun replied with a smile.

After hearing this, Zhang Cheng only asked: "What are you causing trouble here?"

"No trouble, just joking with brother Qi Xiang."

Hua Yun took off his armor consciously as he spoke, and handed the weapon to the confused Qi Xiang.

"You're not here to make a fool of yourself. You are a hero that we have praised in front of you in person. Don't hesitate to take the lead at this time and prevent your brothers from transforming into a man who can secure the people and build the country!"

After hearing this, Hua Yun closed his mouth and only looked back at his brother Bing Yong, who was also confused: "Why are you standing there, follow the rules! Is it possible that you don't want food and salary, and you don't want to support your mother-in-law?"

The people behind Hua Yun dutifully handed over their weapons one by one, and several of the ninth captains also wore their armor.

Zhang Cheng didn't say anything when he saw this, he just smiled lightly, knowing that Huayun Guihun was not unreasonable.

Tang He and other rebel officers and soldiers who were following Hua Yun and others saw that Hua Yun was so cooperative in taking off his armor and handing over his weapons instead of confronting Zhang Cheng, so they also took off their armor and handed over their weapons, and also made their soldiers brave. If you follow the instructions in this way, you won't get into trouble.

But after coming in, Tang He couldn't help but ask Hua Yun: "Why did you take off your armor so honestly? I thought you really dared to do the opposite with Mr. Zhang?"

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

"I made the first move, suffered disaster, and then made you laugh?"

"I'm not that stupid!"

Hua Yun said and walked forward.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Cheng had begun to distribute food and salary to various rebel military academies one after another.

Seeing bags of rice being brought out by thousands and hundreds of households, and distributed to the hands of their respective soldiers, the officers and soldiers who entered the school grounds began to get excited one by one, some were even gearing up, and some couldn't bear it. Some people were whispering, and some couldn't help but rush forward, trying to get a few more bags of rice from the people on their side.

For these rebel officers and soldiers, this is the first time that they have been paid by leading the army, rather than by looting and dividing the spoils. Therefore, they are still a little unaccustomed to this civilized way, and there are still many The soldiers will habitually rob and divide the spoils just like they did before, thinking that as long as they rob more of their own side, the extra robbed belongs to them.

But this is obviously no longer the rule.

"queue!"

"Get in line!" "No grabbing, what the hell are you trying to grab!"

"Take back all the food bags you took away. Have you forgotten the military law? If anyone fails to take it back, the punishment will be doubled. The food and salary will be suspended for one month, plus thirty sticks!"

"Each thousand or hundreds of households should take care of their own people."

"You've obviously rehearsed and given instructions, but you still can't help but act haphazardly. Is it because you can't remember or you're doing this on purpose?"

"Anyone in each thousand or hundreds of households who fails to take care of their own people should go back and write a letter of apology."

Xu Da, who led Zhu Yuanzhang's pro-army troops, was specifically responsible for maintaining the order of pay.

Therefore, when the rebel officers and soldiers were in chaos because of the distribution of food and wages, Xu Da also led Zhu Yuanzhang's personal soldiers and began to hold whips, shouting loudly while whipping the rebel officers and soldiers who had lost their temper and disobeyed orders.

These Zhu Yuanzhang's personal soldiers all wore a red armband with the word "Xian" written on it, and they used whips to force the paid rebel military academy to line up.

Constitution means laws and models.

Those who can serve as Zhu Yuanzhang's personal soldiers are basically those with good discipline and obedience in the rebel army. Therefore, they can be used as a law enforcement team to maintain orders and prohibitions, and can also be used as a model team to enforce orders and prohibitions.

Because of this, Zhang Cheng suggested that Zhu Yuanzhang wear an armband with the word "Xian" on his own soldiers, which not only serves as an example of the enforcement of orders and prohibitions, but also can be used in the military law team, and when enforcing military law, it can also be used by the rebel officers who are being enforced. By seeing the word "Xian", the school has a deeper impression of the rules and regulations, and can learn to obey the rules faster.

The rebels in their early stages were somewhat resistant to observing military discipline, and they needed a process of acceptance and adaptation.

What's more, the leaders of the rebels also began to create rules in practice.

In short, it will take time for the rebels to completely transform themselves.

Zhang Cheng speeded up this process, because his appearance gave the rebels a lot of rules in their initial stage.

Otherwise, Hua Yun would not complain about the too many rules in the charter.

Now, the regulations require Zhu Yuanzhang's soldiers to wear "Xian" armbands, which is also a new rule. This rule is based on the current temporary method of rushing to pay military salaries without having time to establish military law enforcement agencies.

The rebel officers and soldiers who came to collect food and pay took off their armor and did not carry weapons. Therefore, although there were more people than the military police, they were helpless when they were whipped. They even had to avoid the pain and had to abide by the rules. Line up seriously.

Official schools such as Qianhu and Baihu also began to take the initiative to rectify their internal order.

As a result, it didn't take long for the order of payment to be maintained, and the food and salary were distributed much faster as a result.

After receiving their rations and pay, the officers and soldiers gradually smiled and became more respectful towards those responsible for distributing rations and pay such as Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Cheng.

how to say.

After all, the food received and the food snatched have different meanings to the rebel officers and soldiers who have just transformed from farmers into rebels.

The former gives them a spiritual sense of honor that their values ​​are respected and that they are regular soldiers.

The latter makes it easy for them to feel that they are gangsters or thieves, destroyers of the world, rather than protectors of order in the world.

This also allowed them to taste the joy of obeying order and getting rewarded through order, and then they began to have greater motivation to abide by military law and ensure order.

Miao Daheng, who surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang and became a general of the rebel army, was receiving his pay, so he whispered to Miao Zhen: "Uncle, I feel that we will never want to surrender to the imperial court again in the future."

The imperial court that Miao Daheng mentioned was Yuan Ting.

Miao Daheng was originally a general of the Yuan Dynasty. He once attacked Haozhou City for the Yuan Dynasty, which was occupied by the peasant army.

Therefore, Miao Daheng still has the idea of ​​being recruited, but subconsciously he still thinks that he is a thief.

At this time, after hearing what he said, Miao Zhen asked, "How do you mean this?"

"Because once the food and wages are released, the rebels will no longer be bandits!"

"Those of us soldiers who have temporarily surrendered will also be taken under the wing of Zhu Yuanzhang. Naturally, we have to obey his orders even if we don't, unless we really want to surrender to the imperial court without even a single soldier."

Miao Daheng then answered.
