Chapter 123 Military Reform Essentials
The plan was decided, so Ma Chao summoned Pang De, Chou Ge, Ma Dai and others to withdraw their troops back to Fufeng, and left Dong Zhuo with a good gesture of "my Ma family is just a wage earner, and I don't take advantage of the court".

In secret, Ma Chao quietly gave the shadows scattered in the three counties of Fufeng, Xinping, and Beidi a task, which was to confuse people's hearts.No matter what kind of iron bull went into the sea, and when it was fished out, there were words on its abdomen; or it was a cast bronze man, who looked very much like Ma Chao; Do your best to make people's hearts flutter, as long as your heart is in the Ma family.

At the same time, Jia Xu also made a big move secretly, using the mouths of the children who had been favored by the Ma family to spread the ballad of "Qiang chaos, Liangzhou mourning, 20 years of Fengping, and Fubo's descendants".Originally, there was no political inclination in these nursery rhymes, but with the situation of the Eastern Qiang tribe Chen Bing Beidi and Xinping counties, some people guessed the meaning of this nursery rhyme:

The Eastern Qiang tribe is going to attack Liangzhou again. Isn't this just in response to the first two sentences of the nursery rhyme?The last two sentences must be verses that can put down the chaos in Liangzhou. Fengping for 20 years refers to the achievements of General Fubo Ma Yuan of the Han Dynasty in appeasing the barbarians for 20 years. The last sentence obviously refers to the descendants of General Fubo. , can also put down the meaning of the Qiang Hu rebellion!

As a result, the people in the three counties of Fufeng, Xinping, and Beidi all set their sights on the Ma family in Xiliang, and suddenly discovered that after the arrival of this army, they did not commit any crimes in autumn, protecting the environment and the people.In particular, the eldest son of the Ma family went deep into the hinterland of the Qianghu and made great contributions to the stability of the Han frontier.

Now, the voice of supporting the Ma family is getting louder and louder. Not only is it widely sung in the Liangzhou area, but it even floats past the Chang'an court and reaches Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Dongwu and other regions.The majesty of the Ma family was immediately revealed in front of everyone.The princes from all over the world also set their sights on the Ma family in Xiliang.

At this time, Jia Xu was already on his way to Chang'an.The difference from last time is that besides regular Xiliang athletes, among the Xiliang iron cavalry guarding him this time, there are also Fifty Shadows: They went here to follow the young master's order, and put eyeliner in Chang'an. Pay attention to the dynamics of the court.

The army also returned to Fufeng after Jia Xu left. The Xiliang iron cavalry was not damaged during this expedition. On the contrary, they brought back no less than [-] bandits.As for materials, there are not many.Firstly, these thieves themselves do not have a copper coin, and secondly, because Xinping County will be under their own rule in the future, there is no need to make money from Xinping County.

In this campaign, Ma Chao not only gained a deep understanding of the art of war, but also deeply understood a sentence from Sun Tzu:

"Where one hundred thousand troops are raised, and thousands of miles are marched, the expenses of the common people, the service of the public, the daily expenses of thousands of gold, internal and external turmoil, idleness on the road, and 70 families."

Ma Chao had just realized this sentence before, but now seeing Meng Da's face as if his own father had died, he couldn't help crying in his heart: Damn, this isn't a war, it's clearly a war. Burning money!

Before, Ma Teng had a little money in his hand, and later Ma Chao made a lot of money, and finally, he added the savings from Fufeng County.Ma Chao never cared about military spending.But now, only [-] Xiliang iron cavalry attacked, and it was a quick battle with almost no damage, which made Mengda a little unbearable.

At this time, Ma Chao learned from the painful experience. As long as this period of time calms down, he must first stop the operation of the arsenal and get a few blockbuster products first, so as to drive the Ma family's economic growth.

However, in general, this battle is still brilliant and great, especially it can be said that it is very timely!

After the captives were reorganized, their combat effectiveness was tested and their morale was greatly encouraged. From then on, these captives were more determined to swear to die for the Ma family.

In fact, regarding military reform, this question does not seem to be very difficult in Ma Chao's imagination. Countless revolutionary predecessors in Ma Chao's previous life had already set brilliant examples. After sorting out by several scholars, a complete chain has been formed.

First of all, the members of the army must be the main body of the working people, and then the leaders provide these soldiers with profound and simple ideological education, and at the same time carry out vigorous land reforms, so that all members of the army can enjoy certain material results, and finally there are all kinds of guidance and inspiration , such as accusing the landlord of Lao Cai, reminiscing about bitterness and sweetness, and other programs with high practical value, during which the propaganda agency must maintain high-intensity operation, interspersed in various links.

If this is done, the cohesion of the army will basically reach an unprecedented height.As far as Ma Chao knows, there were indeed a few armies that were successfully shaped like this back then. In addition to their extremely tough combat effectiveness, their military discipline was also ridiculously good. Judging from countless examples in later generations, soldiers' understanding of discipline has reached the level of human instinct To the extent that many people would rather die than invade the common people, if we compare the military model, the Yue Family Army can almost be regarded as bandits compared with them.

But Ma Chao found that he didn't seem to have this ability. First of all, he couldn't do ideological education. He didn't have that much ability to create an advanced ideological system. At present, he can only start a series of simple brainwashing activities to let these poor soldiers know, yes The Ma family gave them land, houses, wives, and money.If you leave the Ma family army, you big soldiers will become victims of the chaotic wars of the princes in troubled times, not to mention property, and you will not even be able to keep your life.Fortunately, these top soldiers are also uneducated, and Ma Chao's brainwashing content is also correct.Therefore, this guy from the Ma family can be said to be loyal and unswerving until death. As for the court, they don't have such a muscle in their eyes.

Secondly, redistribution is not realistic. After all, the Ma family at this time is itself a landlord class.If we talk about overthrowing Lao Cai, the landlord, the first thing to kill is the Ma family that owns the Ma's Arsenal, Ma's Farm, and Ma's Ranch.It's not okay to say anything!After much deliberation, Ma Chao's New Deal, that is, to distribute those unclaimed fields to soldiers, after all, the armies of the feudal lords at the end of the Han Dynasty were not as powerful as the Japanese devils and the Kuomintang reactionaries, and their combat effectiveness was not as strong.

However, the last point, publicity campaigns, must be carried out vigorously.This, Ma Chao is still very confident, and also thinks it is very necessary.

Therefore, Ma Chao, who had nothing to do during this period of time, made some medals to give glory to the outstanding soldiers of this battle on the merit platform!

After this, Ma Chao took them to rob and kidnap them again, so they would not have any doubts.Even, even if Ma Chao wants to rebel, these people will support him with all his might!

Because, if you have milk, you are a mother, and big fists are the last word.
