The Qing army besieged the city outside the city, but the spirit of the army was shaken by rumors. If it was not decided early, it would inevitably lead to a disaster.●⌒, without considering it, Zhou Shixiang set the target of deliberately spreading rumors on Shao Jiugong and Li Fuguo. These two people were the ones who strongly advocated breaking through. Today, the situation in the city is absolutely inseparable from them.

Zhou Shi was very eager to send someone to get Shao Jiugong and Li Fuguo, and ask them what they wanted to do!

Duke Xiang of Song dissuaded him not to send troops to take them, saying that he didn't know if these two people were really behind the scenes and whether they had any tricks. If he sent troops to get them openly, he would probably cause a great stir in the morale of the army. Not to mention that Duke Jiu of Shao was still a hundred households in Xiongwei Camp and led his troops to guard the South Gate, and his subordinates were even more confident in helping Jiangxi Green Camp. If he was not careful, he would probably not end.

Li Fuguo used to be the chief of the Green Camp in Gao. After the Taiping Army captured Gaoyao City, he led the remaining troops to surrender. In order to win over and strengthen the strength of the Taiping Army, Zhou Shi ordered him to serve as the guard camp to test the hundred households, and there were more than 100 subordinates who were surrendered by Gaoyao Green Camp. If they were not handled well, it would easily cause trouble.

At present, Xinhui City cannot withstand any changes, and even more so internal strife. After weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Shixiang accepted Duke Xiang of Song and ordered him to secretly send people to investigate the source of the rumors to avoid the internal instability of the Taiping Army due to excessively rough actions.

At the same time, Zhou Shixiang felt it was necessary to hold a city-wide military and civilian conference to tell the soldiers and their families clearly about the movements of the Taiping Army.

The best way to deal with rumors is to make everything public. The Taiping Army had never held any military-civilian conference before, and Duke Xiang of Song could not understand what a military-civilian conference was, but he supported Zhou Shixiang to hold this conference for no other reason. The city really needed the military and civilians to discuss it openly, and the chief official Zhou Shixiang himself needed to explain everything to the military and civilians what to do and tell them what to do!

At the same time, Zhou Shi made a request to Duke Xiang of Song, which was to ask Duke Xiang of Song to select some people from the old man in Houying, Yingguan and others to serve as the envoy of the Taiping Army's An Army.

The name "An Army Envoy" is very fresh, and Duke Xiang of Song had never heard of it. He looked at Zhou Shixiang with confusion and said in amazement: "What is An Army Envoy?"

"A military envoy, as the name suggests, is an envoy who plays a role in stabilizing the morale of the army. Of course, this envoy does not refer to the kind of envoy who serves as a communication between the two countries, but rather an envoy who stands in the army on my own."

"The mission of the An Army envoy is not only to calm the hearts of the people in the army. It is important to have a grasp of the soldiers' thoughts. This idea specifically refers to the changes in the soldiers' emotions. To be subdivided, the An Army envoy must have absolutely grasped all the situations of the soldiers, including his origin, past experience, etc. The most important thing is that the An Army envoy must gain the trust of the soldiers and resolve all difficulties outside the battle for the soldiers in a timely manner. Of course, the An Army envoy cannot interfere with the work of the chief officer in the army. Similarly, the hundreds of households and the general bannermen cannot interfere with the duties of the An Army envoy."

At present, Zhou Shixiang briefly explained the work of the political commissar in later army in the language of the times to Duke Xiang of Song. Strictly speaking, the "Safeguard of the Army" created by Zhou Shixiang is no different from the responsibilities of the political commissar in later generations. The difference is that the former represents his mastery of the army, while the latter represents a certain force.

This time, the rumors about breaking through the army caused unstable morale, Zhou Shixiang decided to introduce the political commissar of the later generations into the Taiping Army. However, it is undeniable that the introduction of the An Army envoy also had another selfish thought of Zhou Shixiang, that is, he believed that it was necessary to strengthen his grasp of the army and that everything in the army was headed by him, and that no existence that would resist him could not be allowed.

Although the Taiping Army was still weak and the life and death of the Taiping Army was still unknown, Zhou Shixiang had made up his mind to do this. After briefly introducing the An Army Envoy, Zhou Shixiang ordered Duke Xiang of Song to select the candidates for the An Army Envoy in an unquestionable tone.

The candidates for serving as the An Army Envoy are not only selected from the old battalions and the management of the rear camp, but also from the military camps. In short, all those in the city who can recognize more than a hundred words can be selected as reserve candidates for the An Army Envoy.

Duke Xiang of Song asked how many military commanders were needed and how to resettle each battalion.

Zhou Shixiang pondered for a while and said that each army had an An Army envoy, also known as the An Army envoy; each team had another An Army envoy, and each battalion had an An Army ambassador.

In this way, according to the Taiping Army system, 20 soldiers are one army, five troops are one team, and five teams are one battalion, then one battalion requires one ambassador of the An army, five envoys of the An army, and 25 young envoys of the An army, totaling 31 people. The sum of the fifth battalion is 155 people.

In order to facilitate the integration of the An army into the army and to coordinate the relationship between the upper and lower levels, Zhou Shixiang appointed the small envoy of the An army as the small flag, the envoy of the An army as the chief flag, and the ambassador of the An army as the temporary official position of the hundreds of households.

It is also said that in the army, the An Army envoy must not only do ideological work, but also shoulder the responsibility of maintaining military discipline. If the soldiers are wrong, the An Army envoy will interrogate them first and then report the handling opinions to the chief officer, and finally Zhou Shiying will deal with them personally.

After Zhou Shixiang talked, Duke Xiang of Song was a little dizzy when he heard this. In addition to feeling that the An Army had a great effect on controlling the hearts of the army, he felt that there were many more officials coming out.

Duke Xiang of Song frowned and said a big problem. The Taiping Army was an army composed of bandits and poor people, and there were no literacy. There were some respectable camps in the back camp who were studying and literate, and there was even a scholar with fame. But the problem was that these camps were all white-haired old men, so where could they go to the army to make trouble. The camps were literate, but the number was too small. According to Zhou Shixiang's needs, there were 155 military envoys. In a hurry, he went to find the men from the Gongtou Army. At best, there were 30 of them.

This problem also caused great headaches for Zhou Shixiang. Yes, no matter how good his idea is, someone needs to implement it, otherwise it would be a castle in the air and would not be implemented.

When Luo Dingqi, the Taiping Army forced some gentry to coerce. However, after being deprived of property, these people were mostly stared in the back camp. They had already blamed the Taiping Army for Heaven, and they were willing to come out to cooperate with Zhou Shixiang's work. Even these people were really willing to come out to serve Zhou Shixiang, and Zhou Shixiang didn't dare to use them!

A great man from later generations said that the more you read, the more reactionary he became. There must be problems with this statement, but it is the truth of this era. Why? Those gentry are all the landlords who have land and houses, and are the class that relies on sucking the blood of the poor. Isn’t that a joke to expect them to come out to help the Taiping Army, which combines bandits and the poor, to serve the lives of the Taiping Army!

If you want to have a group of Anjun envoys who can faithfully execute their orders and experience their own thoughts, there is no other way than to train and train yourself!

But the most urgent task is that the unstable military morale needs to be solved urgently. For nothing, Zhou Shixiang asked Duke Xiang of Song to select the 30 people who can read some words first, and then choose some loyal people from the army. If there are wives, children, and children in the back camp, they will temporarily put on the airs of the military envoy, and make do with it and solve the current situation first.

Duke Xiang of Song had no objection, but emphasized that the most urgent thing to stabilize the morale of the army was not the commander of the An army, but Zhou Shixiang, the commander of the Taiping Army himself. The military-civilian conference must be held immediately, and there is no need to wait for a moment!

Zhou Shixiang didn't say anything, and ordered his personal soldiers to find Liao Ruixiang, and ordered him to organize personnel to arrange the venue immediately. In the afternoon, the Taiping Army Military and Civilian Conference was held. At that time, except for the necessary left-behind personnel on the city wall, everyone else would attend the conference without asking about the elderly or the weak or the identity.

Duke Xiang of Song immediately started to investigate the rumors. He had experience in investigating rumors and had done it in Luoding, and this time he was familiar with it. Xinhui City is just a big slap, and the military and civilians together are only 10,000. It is not a piece of cake to find out who spread rumors.

Just as Zhou Shi started to convene a military-civilian conference, Shao Jiugong came uninvited.
