Chapter five hundred and forty-six the cohesion of the army
More than a month has passed.
The matter of abolishing the military forces of the garrison was progressing very smoothly, and all matters were achieved.
What Su Tiancheng was most satisfied with was that the arable land was distributed smoothly and all of them were planted with grain. This was not necessary. Everyone knew that only by growing food could one have food and could they maintain their lives. Moreover, these official fields were distributed to individuals, and the grain produced was owned by individuals after paying taxes.
The taxes on official fields were previously owned by the military army of the garrison, but the taxes are now paid directly to local government officials, which increases the income of the government from a certain extent.
All the officers of the garrison were concentrated in Xianyang and entered the military camp of Jiangning Camp and started a three-month training. The qualified officers were able to stay, and those who failed, all went home. This also inspired the struggle between the officers to the greatest extent. No one wanted to be regarded as waste and cowards during the training process and were eliminated.
The problem still exists.
Zhu Shenxuan and Hong Chengchou came to Xianyang. This time, they encountered a very real problem, which was also a problem that they had always been confused about, that is, how to build an army that could not be defeated, at least this army must dare to fight and dare to fight head-on with the bandits and Tartars.
The 30,000 selected people from the border army and the guards have good physical fitness, but lack the most fundamental thing, that is, spirit and morale. This is the key problem. If these problems cannot be solved, the reorganized border army will still shrink after seeing the Tartars and bandits and dare not respond. That will have no effect.
Many of these 30,000 soldiers were personal soldiers of former officers. The military pay was guaranteed and the quality was also good, but they seemed to be very confused and re-entered the army, not knowing what to do.
If this problem cannot be solved, it is impossible to build a powerful army.
Xu Eryi also came to Xianyang. He also knew about this problem. The success of Jiangning Camp should not be accidental. In addition to guaranteeing military pay, it should be due to other reasons.
Governor's Office.
Xu Eryi, Zhu Shenxuan, Hong Chengchou, Tan Zongliang and others all sat aside.
The relevant situation is over. Including some of the scum in the army who were punished, in more than a month, Zhu Shenxuan used the Shangfang sword to kill more than 100 soldiers who committed evil deeds, and was greatly shocked in the army and among the people. The previous acts of harassing the people seemed to disappear overnight.
Everyone looked at Su Tiancheng and saw what Su Tiancheng could think of and how to form an army that was no less than Jiangning Camp.
Su Tiancheng looked at everyone and spoke.
"I won't talk about other aspects. The focus now is on how to form a combat-capable army. Thirty thousand soldiers are not small. If they have no morale and no spirit, it is equivalent to a group of sheep. The matter of our abolition of the army of the garrison will be a failure."
"You must be thinking about how Jiangning Camp can succeed and what are the secrets. In fact, there are not many secrets here."
"A army is the most important military spirit and honor. Soldiers must have the honor of soldiers. They must understand why they become soldiers and what they must do, even if they lose their lives. Only when they understand this will they fight to kill the enemy without any hesitation and never retreat until they die."
"I won't say much about the military spirit of Jiangning Camp. In the army, everyone is brother and takes care of each other. Although there may be conflicts and frictions when they get along on weekdays, when they go to the battlefield, they are brothers of life and death, brothers of iron blood. They can trust each other with their lives. No matter how difficult they encounter, they must take care of each other."
"Breathing is about pain and itch, walking with fire, going to the fire, raising a glass to give me success, losing a life, saving each other, this is the belief that Jiangning Camp has always insisted on. On the battlefield, swords and soldiers will be injured, disabled, and lose their lives. It is particularly important not to abandon or give up. When the soldiers go out to fight together, they must come back together and not abandon any brother, no matter how difficult it is, whether he is alive or sacrificed his life."
"The most important question is why our soldiers fought and why they sacrificed their lives. This question is simple, but letting all soldiers understand that it is not a simple matter. From a big point of view, it is to be loyal to the emperor, protect the stability of our Ming Dynasty, and show the might of our Ming Dynasty. Anyone who violates our Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away. From a small point of view, it is to protect ourselves and protect our Ming Dynasty's people. Among these people, there are our soldiers' parents, brothers, wives and children. Whether their lives are stable or not is all in our soldiers."
"These principles of forming an army must be implemented and all sergeants must understand that their duties are sacred. In order to protect the country and the stability of the people, they will sacrifice their lives in history."
"All soldiers, whether they are officers or soldiers, must be registered and recorded. Whoever sacrifices their lives must be recorded in detail. Whoever is injured and disabled must be taken care of carefully so that they have no worries. Their deeds must be vigorously promoted so that the people can understand that a peaceful life comes from the dedication of the soldiers."
"The honor of soldiers is supreme. We must change our past understanding and make soldiers an embodiment of honor, an object of respect for everyone, and an object of respect for the people."
......
The lobby was extremely quiet and no one spoke. These principles were very simple, but they were famous sayings. As long as the soldiers understood these principles and remembered them in their hearts, how could they not fight desperately?
Su Tiancheng's words were written into the memorial by Xu Eryi and sent to the capital at the best speed.
Hall of Care for Heart.
Zhu Youjian looked at the memorial, and Wen Tiren, Sun Chengzong, Yang Sichang and others were also in the Yangxin Palace.
"What do you think of Sun Aiqing and Su Tiancheng's words?"
"Your Majesty, I think that if Lord Su's words can truly penetrate into the hearts of the soldiers, this army will definitely be a brave army. The army is of military spirit. In addition to the guarantee of military pay, it also requires morale and belief. Lord Su is well aware of the truth. I finally understand why the Jiangning Camp is so brave and good at fighting. I believe that in this way, reorganizing the border troops in Shaanxi will definitely produce the best results."
Zhu Youjian nodded slightly and looked at Wen Tiren.
Wen Tiren has been in a bad mood recently and has some physical problems.
"Your Majesty, I think that Master Sun is very much saying that in this way, reorganizing the army will definitely be able to completely eliminate the bandits and defeat the Later Jin Tartars..."
There was not much expression on Zhu Youjian's face. Once upon a time, Wen Tiren supported many impeachments in the court, especially Zhu Shenxuan's participation in the abolition of the army of the garrison, and his words were also very fierce.
"Yang Aiqing, what do you think?"
Yang Sichang looked up.
"Your Majesty, I think that Shaanxi's experience in abolishing the army of the garrison is worthy of a good summary. In all provinces of our Ming Dynasty, the northern Zhili and southern Zhili, it was fully expanded. His Highness King Jin made great contributions this time. I suggest that if the matter of abolishing the army of the garrison is fully expanded, His Highness King Jin can be fully responsible..."
Zhu Youjian was indeed happy. He thought that Shaanxi would encounter a lot of trouble in the abolition of the military forces of the garrison in Shaanxi. Unexpectedly, it took two months and nothing happened. Xu Eryi, who has been in charge of Shaanxi, had memorials every day to report in detail all matters about the abolition of the military forces of the garrison. When Zhu Shenxuan killed those evil soldiers of the garrison, Zhu Youjian was also very happy. These scums should have been killed long ago.
According to the method that Su Tiancheng and Zhu Shenxuan came up with, the Shaanxi garrison army was laid off, and the army of 300,000 was concentrated to 30,000. The combat effectiveness was greatly improved, which was enough to protect the safety of Shaanxi and border towns, and the expenses of the court would be greatly reduced. How could Zhu Youjian not support such a thing?
"My dear friends, I see, it is worth summarizing the matter of laying off troops in Shaanxi, especially combining the abolition of the military forces in the garrison, which has found a way out for the soldiers and stabilized the place. This is a good practice. So far, Shaanxi has been very stable, and there are no bandits or the Later Jin Tartars taking the opportunity to cause trouble. Such methods must be summarized carefully. As for what Yang Aiqing suggested, the matter of laying off the military forces in the national garrison forces in the garrison forces in the garrison forces across the country, you can consider it. Yang Aiqing, you have a trip to Shaanxi, and work with Xu Aiqing to pay close attention to the matter of laying off troops in Shaanxi, and focus on the officers in Xianyang Training Camp to see if there are any changes."
"Sun Aiqing, you still have to work hard. Think more about what things should be paid attention to if the troops of the garrison are abolished in various places in the Ming Dynasty are different. We must be cautious."
"As for the arrangements of King Zhu Shenxuan of Jin, I think I will wait for a while. Shaanxi's layoff of the military forces of the garrison station has not yet ended. I still need to see the results."
This arrangement is the same as before. Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the cabinet, still has little things, or there is nothing to do. In fact, the cabinet has begun to change. Many things are Sun Chengzong making decisions. The emperor is also asking Sun Chengzong for his opinions, and there are not many places he can speak.
Wen Tiren was a little unwilling to give up, but there was no way. He was not young anymore. He has been in the cabinet for so many years and has been the chief minister of the cabinet for six years. He has worked hard without any credit. Unfortunately, the emperor did not look at these. In recent years, the situation in various parts of the Ming Dynasty has not improved fundamentally. However, the rise of Jiangning County and Henan Prefecture has solved many difficulties faced by the court. The court and Mongolia began to trade with each other, and the court's income will definitely increase significantly.
