When coming out of Ziwei Palace, Li Zhi sent his three confidants away with a smile.
Wu Mei was accompanying Li Zhi, and there was a bear in the middle. Their family looked particularly refreshed.
At this time of night, the sky was clear, with only a bright moon in the sky, and the jade sky was clear and spotless.
Xue Rengui, who originally had a dark face, turned into black coal, still shining in the moonlight.
Pei Xingjian, who originally had a round face, now has a long face and a thick long beard that looks like a broom.
Yun Chu's fair face was turning blue now, and his constantly twisting facial features made his handsome face look like an evil ghost that chooses people to devour.
Things turned out to be a hundred times worse than Yunchu's worst expectations.
Yun Chu still has ways to deal with the eunuchs and supervisors. Now, not to mention that he can't move, even if Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian combined are not enough for him, Yun Chu really can't figure it out. Li Zhi still knows how to use trash.
Used it to the extreme.
Back at the military camp, Yunchu didn't want to think about anything and went to bed because even thinking about it was in vain.
When the sky was dark, Yun Chu ordered the entire army of Sima to assemble, and stood in the thick fog of late autumn to prepare to meet the marching commander of the rear army - Li Ji!
Although the concept of chariots had long been abolished by the Tang army, Li Ji still came in a seemingly simple but very sturdy one.
The chariot is two-wheeled, with two bright white reamers mounted on the wheel hubs. As the chariot continues to advance, the reamers are also rotating rapidly. The cold light is shining.
The chariot is pulled by four silver-gray war horses. Each war horse is as muscled as a beast, especially the thick nostrils under the iron mask that are constantly spitting out white mist, which makes these four horses even more powerful.
It's no longer like a human war horse.
Yun Chu urged the bay red horse to come forward to greet him. Unexpectedly, Li Ji stopped the chariot fifty steps away, got out of the chariot, walked two steps quickly towards Yun Chu, clasped his fists and said: "I have ordered the marching Sima Li Ji. I have seen the great army."
handsome!"
Yun Chu jumped off his horse, took two quick steps to help Li Ji, who was bent over and unable to get up, and said, "I have always felt that Your Majesty made a mistake. The hero should be the commander-in-chief, and the junior should be your marching commander."
Li Ji shook his head and said: "You can't be the commander-in-chief of the march. To be precise, you can't shoulder the important task of reforming the history of the commander-in-chief."
Yun Chu said with a bitter face: "Xue Rengui has the most troops, why do you have to choose the rear army with only 10,000 troops?"
Li Ji said with a smile: "Because your army is the key among the keys."
Yun Chu saluted and said, "I would like to hear the details."
Li Ji inspected the army with a smile and said casually: "Among the three of them, you are the most unruly."
Yunchu spread his hands and said, "I am the most disciplined person."
Li Ji sneered and said: "Just like you obeying the rules in Chang'an? Do you know why His Majesty is unwilling to return the capital to Chang'an?
It’s because today’s Chang’an is so unfamiliar that His Majesty barely recognizes it. I don’t know what you’re thinking when you expect Your Majesty to live in a completely unfamiliar city.”
Ordinary marching commander Shi dared to call the commander a fool in front of the army, and would have been beheaded or quartered by the commander a long time ago. But in front of Li Ji, the marching commander, everything seemed to be logical.
"I only served as someone else's marching commander before I was twenty-five years old. Since I was twenty-five years old, I have never been someone else's lieutenant general..." After a beautiful review of the army, Li Ji was full of thoughts.
With the words of emotion, even the white beard seems to have a little more vitality.
"His Majesty sent the queen to ask me how we can safely entrust military power to others.
The old man said that if the soldiers don't know the generals, they will be incompetent. If the generals don't know the soldiers, then the army will be defeated and the country will die. Neither is advisable. The only way is to build a bridge between the generals and the soldiers, let the soldiers know the generals, and let the generals be the soldiers.
The best strategy."
Yun Chu said with a grimace: "So, Duke Ying is going to vigorously increase the power and responsibilities of the marching commander?"
Li Ji nodded and said: "The marching commander is the second deputy of the general. Now the arrangement of his position in the army is very unreasonable. There cannot be only one marching commander in the army, let alone let him serve as the deputy of the general.
A suitable set of manpower should be assigned to the marching commander in the army, and the whole army should be implemented from top to bottom... In wartime, the general's orders can be conveyed downwards through two sets of manpower, which not only ensures that the military orders are executed without fear, but also
On weekdays, the Marching Sima team must grasp the morale of the army, know what the soldiers want and what they want to do, and then guide them with purpose..."
After pouring a cup of tea to the old thief who was frothing at the mouth, Yun Chu immediately thought of the word "political commissar".
"On weekdays, I convey the imperial decree to the ignorant big-headed soldiers, publicize the imperial court's various policies towards the army, and urge the Zichong captains to be honest... During the war, the general is the centerpiece and is in charge of punishments in the army.
, Supervise battles, support the army...responsibility..."
Before Li Ji could finish his cup of tea, Yun Chu already knew why he came to his army and humiliated himself as a small marching commander in his dying years.
As the military god of the Tang Dynasty, when Yunchu saw the problems of the Tang army, there was no reason why he couldn't see through them.
The army is like a knife. When the tip of the knife is pointed at someone, he will panic. This is what Li Zhi thought, so he acted in such incredible and random ways.
Li Ji wanted to use the position of Marching Commander Shi to weaken the general's absolute control over the army and make the originally masculine army a little softer and less sharp. This would make it easier for both those above and below.
rest assured.
"What you said in Chang'an, the children of Chang'an protect Chang'an, is very good. You used a city to twist the soldiers near the city into a rope. I believe that in the future, any enemy who invades Chang'an will be killed by you.
The children of Chang'an were beaten to a pulp...
Since your words are effective in Chang'an, why can't I tell all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty - the children of the Tang Dynasty to protect the Tang Dynasty?"
Yun Chu refilled Li Ji's tea cup and said, "The children of Chang'an protect Chang'an. Behind this sentence, well, the Chang'an government spent nearly two hundred thousand guan, because we first treated the Chang'an government soldiers as our own and relieved them."
After a lot of worries, the Chang'an soldiers agreed with what I said.
So, Duke Ying, oh, or Your Majesty, are you willing to treat the soldiers as your own from the bottom of your heart? Are you willing to spend a lot of money to relieve the soldiers of their worries, and let the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty protect them with gratitude?
What about this country?
Don't tell me that if the marching commanders loved their soldiers like their own children and were willing to lick their golden sores, all the soldiers in the world would be willing to sacrifice their lives for the Tang Dynasty.
It is not that no general has done this before. Wu Qi once sucked abscesses for wounded soldiers. Unfortunately, he was able to deceive the soldiers, but he could not deceive the soldier's mother, so that the soldier's mother begged Wu Qi not to suck abscesses for his second son again.
The wound was because after her eldest son was wounded by Wu Qi, he gratefully died fighting for Wu Qi.
Even if the marching commanders did it, the soldiers would be grateful to the marching commanders rather than the Tang Empire.
Rather than doing this, it would be better for the soldiers to be grateful to their general."
Li Ji smiled and said: "There will naturally be national funds to support this."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "The Tang Dynasty may not be able to support it. The most important thing is that Your Majesty is the Emperor. Recently, Your Majesty is planning to become the Emperor. Both the Emperor and the Emperor are lofty gods and cannot be regarded as human beings at all.
The position is high, so when looking at the people below, the eyes are naturally looking down. During the Taizong period, the relationship between the imperial soldiers and the imperial court was the best. That was because Emperor Taizong was in the army all year round and ate from the same pot with the imperial soldiers.
The friendship was forged by sleeping in the same tent and fighting enemies together.
Fu soldiers, Fu soldiers, only those who have land and property are called Fu soldiers. Nowadays, there is almost no place for Fu soldiers near Chang'an. If I hadn't creatively extended the city's livelihood to the Fu soldiers, in Chang'an, you could only
Seeing a group of old soldiers, if you want a group of elite soldiers, just dream.
He knew that the Tang Dynasty could not live without its soldiers, but he was too short to get close to them. He still wanted to kill the soldiers because he was afraid that he would die too quickly.
The people in Hebei and Shandong don't have a good impression of the imperial court, so they should at least win over the soldiers living in the palace first, right?
This time the elite of the Tang Dynasty have gathered together, and 120,000 cavalry have broken through Shandong. Hebei has no problem at all. I can still be more arrogant and use gunpowder to blow them up again.
What happens next? People will only hate us even more."
Yunchu felt that Li Ji's Marching Commander's History plan might not be possible because it was too idealistic. Today's soldiers are not as easy to deceive as those in the early years.
As far as Yun Chu understands, as long as you give enough money to today's government soldiers, it's okay to treat them like dogs. You don't need to give them courtesy. There is no need for them at all. They will definitely fight bravely and die.
If the benefits are not enough to satisfy them, to be honest, even if the generals lick the feet of the soldiers every day, people will still think these people have bad breath.
What is the basis for the emergence of the political commissar?
It is equality, equality in the true sense, and equality is undoubtedly the most lacking in the semi-feudal and semi-slave society of the Tang Dynasty. The goal of everyone's struggle is to become a superior person, not to stay in hell.
Those at the bottom work together with those dirty people to shine for others.
Li Ji's marching commander history plan can be implemented without any problem. It is estimated that it will be effective for about five years. After this period, those carefully selected marching commanders will become no different from the rest of the army.
Li Ji is a very confident person, otherwise he would not have become a figure like the military god of the Tang Dynasty.
Since he was unwilling to give in, Yunchu naturally gave him full support in carrying out such a reform in the military. There was no guarantee whether it would succeed or not, but he could only guarantee that it would not become a stumbling block on his way to work.
After all, if a military god is willing to joke happily with a group of soldiers in the military camp, it can also win over the morale of the soldiers, right?
Li Ji went to Yunchu's rear army as the commander of the march, Su Dingfang went to Xue Rengui's army as the commander of the march, and the veteran Gao Kan went to Pei Xingjian's army as the commander of the march.
If we line up according to seniority in the military, the marching commanders should be exchanged with the generals.
To this day, Yun Chu still can't figure out why Li Zhi agreed to Li Ji's request. There must be a more far-reaching conspiracy in it.
When a thin layer of thin ice begins to appear on the watering manger in the military camp, it means that the road all the way east has begun to gradually freeze.
At this time, the originally soft road could withstand the trampling of 120,000 cavalry and the crushing of a large number of horse-drawn carriages.
Pei Xingjian's army has left Luoyang and officially embarked on the eastward patrol. Behind Pei Xingjian is Xue Rengui's Chinese army camp. The core of the Chinese army camp lies in the carriages of the emperor, queen and prince.
This time Emperor Li Zhi was very generous and handed over the important task of staying in Luoyang to King Ji Li Shen and the prime minister Shangguan Yi.
The viewing procession, with a total number of more than 30,000 people, will be walking along with the emperor's car, while Yun Chu's family and the nobles of Chang'an who are related to Yun Chu are hanging on the tail of the procession, almost as if Yun Chu was the rear army.
catch.
A total of 150,000 people walked eastward like locusts. Yunchu estimated that this attack would bring the state capitals along the way back to poverty.
Because the supply of the emperor's presence is a matter for the local government.
What will be left after the front army, the middle army, and the honorable brigade are gone? Yunchu never expected them to be merciful, nor did he expect the officials along the way.
Therefore, he mobilized a large number of merchants, dragged a huge amount of grain, and a huge amount of supplies to follow his rear army.
At that time, we can do some grain business with the state capitals along the way where the grain has been eaten up.
