/script In early February of that year, Bai Lingen died of illness, and most of the huge Bai family was destroyed. When the news reached Chengtian Mansion, Jia Congben was a little worried that Gong Sanyi would be uncomfortable, so he hurriedly dragged Gong Kun away.
Barbarian tribe.
When he got there, he saw that the old man only spoke with emotion and mentioned the matter of Beringen handing over the soldiers and horses to the princess Situ Yazhi. He said: "There are no military symbols, so the troops cannot be mobilized."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Why do you need military talismans? Someone is training soldiers!"
Gong Sanyi glanced at him: "What's the use of just training troops if you can't deploy them?"
Jia Cong asked: "Who will pay for the troops?"
"Of course it's from the Bai family."
Jia Cong blinked: "Are those people from the Bai family willing to come forward? I bet you three pieces of walnut cake. It won't be long before the blame will be placed on the Zhan family, at least half of it."
"What's your idea?"
"Don't give it to me yet." Jia Cong said innocently, "Aren't those soldiers of the Bai family?"
He was right. When Beringen died, none of his grandsons were willing to pay for troops, so they immediately blamed the Zhan family. Zhan Qi was not a rich man, and it was obvious that he could not afford troops. The generals were all men, so it was not convenient to meet him.
The princess herself. Raising soldiers is a waste of money. In the blink of an eye, the barracks are stretched. The soldiers are not engaged in industry. At first, there was food in the camp, but the supply of armor and firearms was cut off, and the soldiers were paid by the generals themselves.
He dug into his pocket to provide support. After two months, it would be troublesome to even eat. Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Beringen's deputy general, He Damo, hesitated whether to see Gong Sanyi or not.
Just now, someone came to report that dozens of trucks of grain and grass were coming outside, but they were stopped by patrols. He Damo was overjoyed and rushed over. When he got there, he saw the vast number of grain trucks as far as the eye could see. Then he raised his head,
The smile froze.
The leader was Bai Lun. But when he saw this man, he held his hands solemnly and said, "I heard that the army is in a tight situation and it's the Bai family's fault. Here are sixty carts of food and grass. Although it's a drop in the bucket, it can still last for a while. I'll think of other things later.
Method."
He Damo looked at him for a few times and sneered: "The general told me not to kill you." He suddenly took the horse a few steps closer to Bai Lun and raised his hand to chop his ears more than a dozen times! Bai Lun was immediately beaten into a pig's head.
He Damo stared at him dumbfounded. He Damo sneered, "The general never said he wouldn't beat you!" Nai Duan shouted, "Get out!"
At first, Bai Lun was suspicious that his uncle had known about what he had done. Since he had seen him for so long and nothing happened, he thought that the old man was just suspicious and had not told anyone. This time, he knew that something serious was going on and he did not dare to say a word about running away.
After running for more than ten steps, he turned around and called his men to drive the grain truck back.
He Damo stared at him as he gradually walked away, gritted his teeth and said: "If you see this person again, beat me! As long as you don't beat him to death, anything will be fine!"
Because the soldiers had already heard that the granaries were getting empty, they were already running around telling people that they had food. However, after waiting for a long time and nothing came in, they felt a little uneasy. He Damo sighed softly and discussed with the other generals to get a private room first.
He used the money to buy grain. Everyone said, "It's just not a long-term solution." He Damo sighed again, helpless.
Just at this moment, the soldier came in and reported: "The grain truck outside just now has turned back again!"
He Damo said angrily: "How dare you, rat!" He strode out of the camp, jumped on his horse and ran all the way to block the grain convoy.
When I got there, I saw that the convoy was still the same one, but the leader had changed. Sitting on the front horse was the county horse Zhan Qi. He smiled and cupped his hands and said: "I came to see how the camp was doing. It happened that someone sent food and the general refused to accept it.
Where could his family get so much food? So I bought it at a discount. It was a good buy."
He Damo was overjoyed, cupping his fists and saying, "Thank you so much, Commander!"
The soldiers watched from a distance as their general and the grain truck came together, and they were so happy that they all ran to the front to watch. He Damo accompanied Zhan Qi into the camp and loudly said: "The county horses are bringing us grain!" All the soldiers gathered together.
A howling sound.
Zhan Qi clasped his fists on the horse and said: "General Bai arrived in a hurry to bring troops. He had not greeted Zhan earlier, so Zhan was unprepared. Zhan has attracted some sponsorship these days, although it is not much, but he will not go hungry.
Brothers."
He Damo couldn't help but ask: "What is sponsorship?"
Zhan Qi blushed: "My nephew's family is not well off, so he went to find his clan brother Zhan Kun. The clan brother has some property in Taiwan, is a very good man, and is willing to support our army. He said that willing to pay for others to do things is called sponsorship.
"Nai coughed and said to the soldiers, "It's just that he has two conditions."
He Damo's face darkened: "What conditions?"
"First, strict military discipline." Zhan Qi said, "General Bai's military discipline is originally strict, but after all, there are still people who bully the people." He took a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to He Damo.
He Damo took a look and saw that it said no theft, rape, rape and the like. It was not much different from Beringen's original military regulations, and some were slightly looser. He said: "This is also the original military regulations of our army."
Zhan Qi said: "However, the law is not strict, and the people around us are harassed from time to time. My brother said that he is willing to sponsor the soldiers who protect the country and is not willing to spend money to support local ruffians. As long as our army's military discipline is strict, money is not a problem
Son."
He Damo thought for a while: "That's easy to say. What else is there?"
"Secondly, he hopes that brothers will do good deeds for the people when they are free, such as helping people repair their houses and fetching water. We are all strong men and there are many of us. There are some things that are difficult for people with a small number of people.
We have a huge headache, and the soldiers can easily solve it with just a few people. We can only treat it as repaying him for helping us with money, food, and firearms, and repaying good deeds with good deeds."
He Damo's brows jumped when he heard the word "firearms"! Ever since the men of the Bai family refused to pay, he thought he would never be able to get firearms again. He hurriedly said: "This matter is getting easier.
"
Zhan Qi nodded: "My nephew said it's not difficult." Then he greeted and took the sixty carts of meters to the warehouse first.
He Damo hurriedly invited him to sit in the camp, and then asked him in detail how much money this brother could give. Zhan Qi said: "He has a huge business in Taiwan, and it is not difficult to raise some people. Anyway, General Bai entrusted the brothers to the princess
, my nephew is the husband of the princess, so her affairs are naturally my affairs."
He Damo said happily: "The general has indeed entrusted the right person!"
"My nephew also knows that there are many bandits in this army."
He Damo hummed: "It's just that I don't have time to clean it up. Just wait for me to straighten it out."
"Okay." Zhan Qi said, "As long as military discipline is strict, money and food will be easy to handle."
He Damo did what he said, and immediately started to deal with the gang of bastards. Military law was much more serious than before. Ten days later, Zhan Qi came over with a list, which recorded in detail all the crimes committed by the soldiers of the Bai family outside in the past ten days.
Although the names are unknown, the victims are clearly listed.
He Damo suddenly broke into a cold sweat: "There are so many!"
Zhan Qi said: "General, don't blame me. My nephew knows that things like eating wine without paying for it are nothing in the barracks. Han Feizi said, a thousand-mile dike is broken by ants. Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty said, don't treat kindness with small things.
If you don't do it, don't do it because it's a small evil..."
He muttered that he had dropped his book bag for half a day, which made He Damo's head hurt, and he hurriedly said: "The general understands the commander's intention! It's just that the army is eating food quickly, and the troops are about to be paid."
Zhan Qi pointed at the list and smiled and said: "The above matters are gone, everything will be easy to handle."
He Damo understood that if the people below them did something that violated military discipline, the rich man Zhan Kun would not give him money. He could only say: "The general will eventually find out who these are and deal with them according to military law!"
This time he really worked hard, otherwise he would have nothing to eat. Ten days later, Zhan Qi came again and took out another list. It was much less than ten days ago, but there was still some. He Damo was angry, and he followed
The list was carefully checked, and all those found were kicked out of the barracks. They also told the soldiers: Whoever is still doing bad things outside will not receive any military pay in the entire army! Everyone knows that the Bai family no longer cares about them, and this Junma named Zhan has
A wealthy clan brother was willing to provide them with money and food, but the military regulations were extremely strict. In order for the entire army to support their families, they did not dare to mess around. On the one hand, they were afraid of starvation, and on the other hand, they were afraid of being beaten to death by their brothers.
Ten days later, when Zhan Qi came back, there was still a long list on the list. He Damo's eyes dropped out when he saw it: "These are just wife-beaters and children! They are not bullying the people!"
"There is another one who beats me." Zhan Qi said, "My brother's military regulations clearly state that old and weak women and children are not to be bullied. Isn't their own father an old man? Their own wives and children are not women and children?"
He Damo shook his head and said: "These things are all family affairs, how can we take care of them?"
Zhan Qi thought for a moment and said, "General He may summon all the brothers to listen to my nephew's words?"
He Damo hummed and said: "The commander is now the master of our army, he can do whatever he wants." Then he summoned all the soldiers in the battalion and asked Zhan Qi to go up to the high platform to speak.
Zhan Qinai stood with his hands behind his hands: "Brothers, my surname is Zhan. I would like to ask what soldiers are used for."
The soldiers looked at each other.
He went on to say: "Like all the brothers, I was born as a child, gradually grew into a man, and will eventually grow old. My wife, Princess Yazhi, was also born as a child, and gradually grew into a woman.
One day, she will grow up with me and become an old woman with pimples on her face." Someone was laughing below.
"The world today is not peaceful. There are bandits inside and foreign soldiers outside. When encountering these, some strong men can deal with them, but some cannot. For example, I, the scholar Zhan Qiben, can't beat the bandits." Someone else laughed.
He solemnly said, "There are few children, old men, and women who can defeat bandits and foreign soldiers. These children, old men, and women may be your and my children, parents, wives, and sisters. If they encounter bandits,
What should the foreign soldiers do? Are they just waiting to be killed, robbed, and raped?"
The soldiers shouted: "No -"
Zhan Qi said loudly: "That's why we have you!" He waved his right hand vigorously, "Soldiers are used to protect our homes and our country!"
"Coax-" there was a burst of cheers from below.
When the cheers subsided, Zhan Qinai said: "Military regulations say that you cannot bully the old, the weak, women and children, because they are all weak. Who will bully the weak? Only the weak will bully the weak. Because they can't beat the stronger ones.
, you can only bully the weak to vent your anger. If the soldiers are all weak, how can they defeat the bandits and foreign soldiers? What is the use of such an army? Therefore," he said solemnly, "it is an iron rule not to bully the old, weak, women and children.
Anyone who beats his wife, children, or even his mother-in-law is against military regulations! Whoever can't beat his brothers in the camp and beats his wife, children, and mother-in-law to vent his anger at home can leave now! Our army will not support such incompetent cowards!
"
"Wow~~" The soldiers started talking again. Zhan Qi clasped his fists on the platform, turned around and left. He Damo was stunned for a long time and gave a thumbs up to his back. It's better this time. Who beats his wife and children?
They have become brothers who cannot beat each other and go back to take out their anger on the weakling. Who can afford to humiliate this person?
In another ten days, there were no more people to beat his wife and children. Zhan Qi came over with a grain cart with a smile on his face, and a whole cart full of white money. He Damo couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.
This money and food was just the beginning. The brothers of the Zhan Qi clan were indeed rich, and they sent many things in succession. There were enough grain, grass, armor, and firearms. The food became better immediately, and there was meat for every meal. Compared with the Beringen family in the past,
Times were much better. I just don't know where he knew such good information. Whoever commits something outside will immediately deduct the entire army's supplies for ten days. Who dares to mess around? Even if the general spares him, the brothers will not spare him.
.
Then Zhan Kun sent a new camouflage military uniform, which he said was modeled after the soldiers of the Taiwanese government. It was very majestic and good-looking, so he asked them to try it. He Damo had already seen the military uniforms of the Taiwanese government and found it convenient for movement. He had asked about it in the early years.
Beringen wanted to imitate it, but Beringen didn't want to. Although some people in their camp didn't like the new military uniforms, the new military uniforms had a great advantage - they didn't cost money! The uniforms of ordinary soldiers are their own. Since this Mr. Zhan
If you are willing to pay for them to make clothes for them, why not? After He Damo discussed with the generals, he said that the whole camp praised the new military uniforms as excellent. As expected, Zhan Kun made three sets of uniforms for each of them and sent them to the general.
We have five sets.
After some days, Zhan Qi discussed with He Damo and asked him to line up 80 people every other day, in teams of twenty, to walk around the southeast, northwest and northwest of Hong Kong for a day to help ordinary people do something. He Damo thought
It was just a trivial matter, so I accepted it. When this happened, it was a big deal! The new military uniform looked good, and he helped the people, and also gave clothes and meals to the orphans and the elderly. In the blink of an eye, he made a sensation in the whole city. Go and do something.
After returning from the trip, many young men received the shoe soles stuffed by the older girls. He Damo became even more happy and said to the soldiers: "General Bai really did not entrust the wrong person! How could the other brats have such thoughts? That Xiao Bai
If the general wins the princess, and the princess teaches him to grow up, he will definitely become a good man in the future!"
A few days later, Zhan Kun heard that few of them could even read the word "general" and had studied the art of war. He kept saying, "How can it be done? Ordinary people have all gone to school." He actually hired thirty gentlemen to come.
He came to the camp specifically to teach the soldiers how to read and write. All the generals smiled so hard that their ears went up to their ears. Thirty people were too few, not enough to teach the entire camp. Zhan Kun invited another 170 soldiers one after another.
Finally, 200 teachers were invited. Although these teachers did not live in the camp, they were all very close to the camp. In addition to usually coming to the camp to give lessons, the soldiers often went to them for advice after training.
Zhan Qi himself is usually in the barbarian tribe and does not come to the barracks, let alone participate in military affairs. He only comes when he sends money, food, armor and weapons. He Damo and others are not even wary of him. (.. )
