Chapter 284 Fill in the loopholes and force the staff group

What Yang Reform said on the platform aroused the blood of the new soldiers in the two small rooms. Punish" such shocking words, this is the highest ideal of the Chinese soldiers!

……

On the platform, the emperor's words made the air in the platform hot, and the fighting on the sand table became "bloody".

The battle on the sand table was gradually decided. After a while, Lei Dayong first came out from the small room on the west side of the platform. His face was full of shame and frustration, his head was drooping, and he followed Yang Yang sadly. Reform said: "Report to Your Majesty, the students lost..." As he spoke, Lei Dayong couldn't hold back the tears of the few people on his side, and the tears fell down.

Wu Sangui and his group also came out of the small house on the east side of the platform over there, with joy on their faces. Needless to say, they knew that they had won the sand table deduction this time. According to what the emperor said earlier, they could become the new army's first combatants. .

"Report to Your Majesty, the student was lucky and won once." Wu Sangui reported to the emperor with a proud expression.

Yang Reform has been watching the live broadcast of the entire "StarCraft" competition. Yang Reform knows the strength of both sides. Wu Sangui is indeed worthy of being the Wu Sangui in history. He is a leader among his peers and is quite outstanding. The people here resisted in every possible way and tried their best, but they were finally completely defeated by Wu Sangui.

"Okay, men don't flick their tears easily, Lei Dayong, you guys don't be so fragile, be stronger, be braver, if you lose this time, you can win it back next time, you are young, it's not that you can't afford to lose Crying, is that something a man should do? Shedding skin and flesh and not falling behind, bleeding and sweating and not crying, this is the courage that the new army should have. Don't be like a little daughter-in-law who has been wronged." Yang Reform ignored Wu Sangui , and turned to comfort Lei Dayong and others who were crying sadly.

Lei Dayong these people were really "crying" sad, crying hard, his nose shrunk, tears fell down patter, finally through pretending to be deep, accumulated a little bit of masculinity, Now when they cry, they show their original shape, they are just a group of children.

Lei Dayong wiped his red eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, the students know, the students will bear in mind His Majesty's teachings, 'Don't fall behind if you lose skin and flesh, don't fall behind if you bleed, sweat and don't shed tears', you must work harder, and strive to win next time." Come back." Lei Da wiped away his tears with a few people, his eyes were still red, and the traces of tears could still be seen on his face.

Wu Sangui is very proud. Since he joined the new army, he has been taken care of by the emperor. In many cases, the emperor seems to take care of him deliberately, which makes Wu Sangui flattered!It is even more positive performance, striving to leave a good impression in front of the emperor.This time I heard what the emperor said, "Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away." If you want to follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and attack the eastern captives from afar, he will be a marquis if he is rare!The blood in Wu Sangui's heart was completely aroused, and he vowed to become a "Wei Qing" and "Huo Qubing" of the Ming Dynasty.

"Wu Sangui, this time you won very well. Then, I hope that in Shaanxi in the future, you can also practice on a sand table. You can predict the enemy first, fight quickly and powerfully, and be able to display the prestige of the new army. Let the enemy tremble when they hear the name of the new army."

"As you order, Your Majesty." Wu Sangui and his group happily replied in unison.

"In view of your outstanding performance this time, I have awarded you the title of five-person platform servant." Yang Reform suddenly said this inexplicable sentence.

Wu Sangui and the others were all stunned, the title of platform attendant?what is this?They are servants selected from the new army to follow His Majesty. Even the guards are His Majesty's students. They learned from His Majesty. Now there is an extra word "platform". This..., what is the platform for?Then call the right one, that is the place where the emperor asked the ministers for their strategy. Doesn’t the title of this platform attendant also have something to do with calling the right and the strategy?The hearts of Wu Sangui and the others jumped, and they were even more excited than what His Majesty said just now, "Imitate Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and attack the Huns far away". The emperor really regarded them as Wei Qing, and Huo Qubing was using them!In the future, the day when the wolf will be granted the title of Xu Xu is not far away;

"Student obeyed, thank you Your Majesty!!" Wu Sangui suddenly realized, and shouted loudly alone.Several other people also came to their senses and shouted together: "Students obey, thank you Your Majesty!" The momentum was overwhelming!
Lei Dayong looked at Wu Sangui and the others in surprise and envy, platform servants!What a great honor this is. I missed out on the servants of the platform, also missed out on the Shaanxi Ping Rebellion, and even missed out on all kinds of treatment in the future!Lei Dayong and the others were filled with remorse and gritted their teeth secretly, they must work hard.

Sun Chengzong was also surprised that the emperor suddenly played the title of platform attendant. Thinking about it, he suddenly understood something, nodded and smiled, the emperor has matured!

Bi Zisu was also surprised!But he was baffled, the emperor did this trick again, what is this for?He doesn't understand.

……

"Bi Aiqing, when you go to Shaanxi, the most important thing is to assist Master Xu to handle the immigration and disaster relief, and escort Master Xu for me to protect their safety. We must not let the people revolt and the rebels harm them. When it comes to the safety of immigration affairs, especially don’t let them hurt the safety of the immigration officers, Bi Aiqing, please keep in mind that the matter of immigration is related to the lifeblood of our court, and if there is a slight mistake, there will be irreparable losses. Therefore, Bi Aiqing, when you arrive in Shaanxi, please be careful."

"Returning to Your Majesty, I will do my best to serve Your Majesty, assist Master Xu in the immigration matter, and let the people in Shaanxi know your Majesty's kindness." Bi Zisu promised obligingly.

"Okay!... Bi Aiqing, I know that your strength is in civil affairs. As for military affairs, there may be many things you don't understand. I will let these outstanding new army figures and platform servants assist you and let you handle military affairs. time, it will be more handy..." Yang Reform began to arrange his own thoughts.

"...When you go to Shaanxi, the first thing to do is to immediately kill a group of rebels who are angry with the people and have prominent forces. You must show your determination and ability with a strong posture, and let Shaanxi The rebels from all walks of life know that if you want to rebel, you must first check whether your neck is strong enough. You must create conditions for Master Xu's immigration and buy time. After the immigration has been carried out for a year or so, the effect of the immigration has paid off. , even if you succeed, I will celebrate your achievements at that time. Of course, if you can appease the Shaanxi civil uprising and rebel bandits, I will not object. If you are willing to accept the appeasement, I can arrange for them to immigrate. Min, I can arrange for them to go outside the customs to hunt the heads of Donglu, that’s also possible, this, you can flexibly control it yourself..."

"My minister obeys."

"Students obey."

Bi Zisu and Wu Sangui agreed in unison.

"This time, Bi Zisu, when you go to Shaanxi, you must coordinate the troops and horses of the whole Shaanxi, and strictly monitor the situation in various places. The prefectures, counties, and guards need to report the local situation to you for summary every day, and pay attention to emergencies at any time. To deal with all kinds of emergencies, involving civil uprisings, bandits, bandits, and rebels, immediately dispatch the local guards or new troops to immediately extinguish and suppress them. This has created an unmanageable situation, Bi Zisu, if you go here, I will grant you full authority to make decisions on Shaanxi's military and political affairs at the last moment. You don't have to ask me for everything. Shaanxi is too far away, and many things are too late to report to me. It is really a waste of time. Be sure to follow a fast word in everything, and deal with the problem on the same day when it is discovered, and there must be no delay..." Yang Reform began to give instructions on details.

"I would like to report to Your Majesty that I am not very transparent in my military career. Your Majesty has entrusted me with such a heavy responsibility. I am afraid that I will bear His Majesty's great trust! It is a small thing for me to lose my life, but if it ruins your Majesty's major affairs, is it not my Ming Dynasty?" sinner?" Bi Zisu is an honest man, and he just said that he doesn't understand military affairs, but now the emperor wants him to deal with the problems of the day, and he doesn't even have time to think about the problem. This is a difficult problem, and Bi Zisu has to Speaking out the problem, not understanding the military does not mean that he has no sense of responsibility.

"I have thought about this matter. You don't understand military affairs. This is indeed a problem. However, it is not impossible to solve it. Didn't I send you a few platform attendants? They are very good at studying warfare. I will ask Master Sun to select a group of outstanding people from the new army to cooperate with the platform attendants to form a military staff group, which will be hung under Master Sun's staff department to help you collect military and political information from various places and analyze the information reported to the local newspapers. Military information helps you to propose a response plan for emergencies. You only need to choose a more favorable implementation among the response plans. In this way, you only need to grasp the overall situation, and you don’t need to know the basics of the military. Of course, in Shaanxi , you have to work harder on the military and politics, study more, ponder more, and get familiar with the military and politics as soon as possible, do you understand?"

Yang Reform spent a long time thinking about it, and finally revealed the details of the military arrangement in Shaanxi. That is to let Sun Chengzong, the invisible "staff department" branch, start to play a role, and add another problem to the disadvantages of the literati leading the army in the Ming Dynasty. Insurance.

This is also something that can’t be helped. Since the Ming Dynasty’s Tumu Fortress change, literati leading the army has become a trend, so that those who lead the army and fight are monks halfway through the war. When fighting, they rely entirely on the literati’s self-study ability. Those who are self-taught are more or less good at war. If they meet such pedantic people, only God knows the outcome of the war.

"Master Sun, your staff, this time, from the new army guarding Shaanxi, select a group of outstanding people, together with Wu Sangui and his platform attendants, form a staff team, go to Shaanxi to assist Bi Zisu in handling military affairs, and provide reference , provide decision-making, and Wu Sangui will be the chief of staff of the staff group." Yang Reform took a long time to establish this staff system, and then forced this staff system to the governor of Shaanxi.

"The minister takes orders." Sun Chengzong understood what the emperor meant.Sun Chengzong got the name of a bald "staff department" before. In this staff department, although the emperor said before that those cabinets and officials from various ministries were counted as members of the staff department, but later it was abandoned and there is no more content. , Today, this kind of staff department was launched again. Sun Chengzong felt that the emperor might make a big fuss in this staff department.

"Okay! The amount of troops to be dispatched this time, I have decided. The first batch will be 5000 people. After a period of time, some of them will be rotated. When they arrive in Shaanxi, the new army will be divided into several parts, or 5000 people will be used at the same time. It is up to the staff." The regiment puts forward plans and opinions by itself, and Bi Zisu makes the decision, so I won’t ask any more questions. I’m far away in the capital, traveling back and forth, and there’s not enough time. If something happens, or something urgent, there’s no need to ask me for advice. The staff group will make suggestions , the plan, Bi Zisu decides on his own." Yang Reform reiterated his idea again, that is, the staff group makes suggestions and the chief officer makes decisions, which is the same as the staff system of later generations. In this way, as long as there is a more reliable staff group, Even if the chief military officer doesn't understand military affairs, he won't be too unreliable when fighting a war.

Of course, in order to reflect the importance of the staff group, Yang Reform also awarded Wu Sangui the title of five-person platform attendant, in order to support the staff group and make Bi Zisu value the opinions of the staff group.This is also a matter of no choice. Who makes the person in charge and directing the military be a literati?And few literati know military affairs.However, judging from the current national conditions of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to change the current situation. Yang Reform had to arrest a person, and then forcibly gave him the staff system, because the staff system was not enough for literati to lead the army.It was also Yang Reform's luck that he met someone like Bi Zisu, an honest and upright person like Bi Zisu, and he did not resist this kind of staff system and raised too many opinions. If he was a cunning old fox, Yang Reform would have to It took a lot of time to think about it.

"I obey." Several people responded at the same time.

"Let me talk about the military expenses, rations, and supplies for this dispatch of troops. As you all know, I did not discuss the military expenses with the officials. The military expenses may have to be paid for by me. It is said that all of them have been poured out, and the summer tax has not yet been put into the treasury, so I don’t count on it. Regarding military expenses, food and supplies, I will provide them from internal funds. For individuals, one-third is saved and released after the war is over or retired, and the remaining one-third is distributed directly to military families, and those without military families are also saved.”

Some people were puzzled by the emperor's behavior.

"Your Majesty, why do you do it this way? All along, when you go to battle, the military pay is directly paid to the officers and soldiers. If you don't pay the soldiers, you are afraid that the officers and soldiers will make trouble!" Bi Zisu asked puzzled.

"Hehe, it's very simple. The soldier's hands are very loose. If you don't save some money for him, he will be a bachelor when he retires in the future. If he can't marry a wife, won't he be a bachelor for the rest of his life? Now riding on young, Soldiers are paid high salaries, so they save some money. When they retire in the future, they can also use the money to marry a wife or something, so they can live with peace of mind, right? Soldiers in the army do not spend money on food, clothing, housing and transportation. Why so much money? There are also military members, your money is sent directly to the hands of the soldiers, and the hands of the soldiers will be spent in a few days. There are old and young in the family, and they are still waiting for his military salary to buy Why don't you leave another third of the rice for him? Why don't you send it to the military? The common people raise their sons to guard against old age, and the sons are rich and don't support their families. Why do I want such unfilial soldiers?" Yang Reform He explained with a smile.

Everyone suddenly realized, no wonder the emperor wanted to do this, it turned out that it was for the sake of serving as a soldier!That's right, now that soldiers can't get married, everyone knows that the salary of the new army is indeed high, and it is indeed necessary to save some for future plans. This can be regarded as a solution to the "worries" of being a soldier. ", and the charge of unfilial piety, who can afford it?It is necessary to distribute part of it to the military family!
"I understand. Thank you, Your Majesty, for clarifying the confusion. I have benefited a lot." Bi Zisu said with admiration.

"Hehe, when this matter is first implemented, there may be some resistance. When you go back, you must make it clear to the new army that I am doing it for their own good. They cannot be young for a lifetime, nor can they fight on the battlefield. For the rest of my life, after a few years, I will retire. With the money I saved, I will add another sum to him so that he can go home properly, buy a few acres of good land, marry a good wife, and live a good life. Good day, do you understand? Among my new army, if I hear that there is a family who does not support the young and the old, and takes my military salary to spend a lot of money, I will not spare him, understand?" Yang Reform turned to Wu Sangui, Lei Da Said with several people.

"Students understand. Remember His Majesty's instruction." Wu Sangui and Lei Dayong agreed in unison with unusual warmth in their hearts.

Sun Chengzong looked at the emperor with a slight smile, feeling very comforted, and nodded slightly. The emperor has grown up and knows how to win people's hearts, which is a good thing.

Yang Reform's arrangement also has deep meaning. The military expenditure of the new army is really too large. The annual expenditure of the new army of only 2 people is only 200 million taels, not counting the expenses during the war. Yang Reform Still thinking about destroying wild boar skins, strangling Mongols, and even expeditions to Southeast Asia, even Australia, and even the Americas. To turn the Pacific Ocean into an inner lake, the military power required is a very large number. Yang Reform just forgot it a little After a while, I felt that I couldn't bear it, so I started to plan to recruit some conscripts. To engage in conscripts, at least one thing is to change people's views on being a soldier.And this soldier who can marry a wife, support a family, and achieve some small achievements, including requiring literacy, is what Yang Reform is currently trying to do. People become county magistrates, deputy county magistrates, or head-hunters in the county government. In the countryside, they will become small bosses such as Baozhang and Jiazhang. Among the new army, they used this as a bait to recruit some conscripts to ease their financial pressure.On the other hand, it is also a tactic to expand one's influence in the countryside. Historically, the imperial power has never descended to the county. Now, by recruiting new troops and recruiting conscripts, it is possible to extend one's hand to areas that the feudal dynasty has never touched. In the field, no matter what I do in the future, I will have a large number of fans and followers in the countryside, which will be a big capital for me in the future.Farmers in the countryside have the least expectations, and being able to have a decent identity in the countryside is what many farmers yearn for, and they can exchange the smallest cost for the greatest benefit.
