Chapter 345
A variety of facilities are available on the campus.
It has a point of its own, sitting on the north facing south.
Zhao Yu entire group arrived at the school grounds, and under the watchful eyes of Wan Jun, came to the stage.
Actually also many people recognized Zhao Yu, and the voices of exclamation came one after another for a while.
Soon, the news of Zhao Yu's arrival was passed on to two, two from four, and all of them were known.
50,000 pairs of eyes, both visible and invisible, follow in the footsteps of Zhao Yu and the others.
Zhao Yu's expression remained the same, indifferent. As for Wu Sangui and the others, their faces were ugly. These 50,000 soldiers and horses are all elite soldiers under their command, but when these people see Zhao Yu, their attitude is very unpleasant.
Although I know that because of the Battle of Jinzhou, Zhao Yu is quite famous in the minds of soldiers in various towns in Liaodong. But I never imagined that it would have such a reputation.
That kind of admiration and fanatical eyes really makes people feel uneasy.
Wu Sangui exchanged glances with the two beside her, and her heart sank slightly.
It's time to get to the point.
The point will be quite high, standing on it, the whole school grounds, unobstructed view.
The soldiers on the school grounds, whether in front or behind, can see them.
Zhao Yu stepped forward, with a loud voice like a bell, and read out an imperial decree first, so that the 50,000 soldiers knew the purpose of this gathering. Then start to boost morale.
As far as the military is concerned, no matter what era, the importance of morale is self-evident.
And to boost morale, either with the righteousness of the family or the country, or with monetary interests, it is the same. Zhao Yu was passionate at first, and he said it with the righteousness of his family and country, and the people who said it were passionate.
But Zhao Yu also knew that this excitement was only temporary. After the incident, it cooled down quickly, and it was nothing.
Therefore, there must be financial interests to complement each other.
In this regard, Zhao Yu has his own income from the military book. Crown Prince also gave some instructions when he came.
It's just that he is fighting for the country. This, in peacetime, is completely unattractive. But at this time, due to the decline of the Great Ming, Imperial Court often defaulted on food and salaries, and the army was rotten, and officers drank countless soldiers' blood. Soldiers at the bottom often don't get enough food, and they don't even get a grain of food for about a year.
That's what makes it attractive.
Especially what Zhao Yu said.
Perhaps it was Crown Prince's personal promise here, and not many people believed it. They prefer to trust Zhao Yu who took them to defeat Tatar.
Because Zhao Yu is War God.
The soldiers in the army these days can't read a single basket. They don't understand the principles of Grand Dao, and because of the previous actions of the Imperial Court, they don't believe in the Imperial Court's promise. I prefer to pin my hopes on fierce people like Zhao Yu.
It is also a kind of helplessness.
The first is to promise not to default on the payment of food, and the second is to promise to seize the property, half of which will be owned by him.
This one is also very attractive.
Because the Ming Army often loses battles, since the battles are defeated, they can only be captured by others. How can there be any captures? I'm afraid I don't know how many years I haven't enjoyed such treatment. But they believed that they could win the battle with Zhao Yu. If there is a victory, there will naturally be a capture, and it is impossible to say that a sum of money can be issued.
Third, the promise will be rewarded for merit, and punishment for failure. This point was specifically instructed by Crown Prince to Zhao Yu. For the Crown Prince to turn things around, in that regard, it has to do. Otherwise, where would also people sacrifice their lives for him?
These days, the government is dark, and the military is not bad. Military exploits were the best way to rise in the army, but they were blocked. The soldiers below cut off a few heads, and the military merit is enough to level up to Level 1, but basically this military merit has been taken away by the boss, and he has no share of his own. This is also one of the reasons why soldiers are reluctant to fight, because they are defeated. And it's an important reason.
There is no hope, who wants to pay attention?
Of course, this is verbal. Because the war has not yet been fought, it cannot be manifested yet. But Zhao Yu knew that Crown Prince had made up his mind. So speaking, it is reasonable.
Zero, Zongzong, made a lot of promises, temporarily lifted the spirits of the soldiers, and gave the 50,000 soldiers and horses hope. First, they will be transferred back to Central Plains. When the battle is over, one after another Fulfilling the promise, fulfilling the promise, and cooperating with the Seventeen Laws and the Fifty-Four Cuts, and the prohibition, naturally one can train elite soldiers.
The way of reward and punishment is the foundation of the army.
Zhao Yu's voice is extremely loud, and even though the school is huge, with 50,000 people gathered, everyone can hear it clearly.
These 50,000 people, when Zhao Yu asked Wu Sangui and the others to order the transfer of troops, excluded their servant standard battalion. This kind of Zhao Yu is not necessary.
The standard battalion and horses were a major feature of this period. All of them are general servants, tied together with generals. No matter how elite you are, it is useless if you want to come but don’t command well.
The 50,000 people at the moment, although a grade lower than the standard servant battalion of the chief soldiers of the towns, is exactly what Zhao Yu needs. They are only short of the usual food and drink, also equipment. Other places are not much different.
As long as you have sufficient food, drink, and proper training, you will soon become an elite soldier.
Wu Sangui and the others were standing behind Zhao Yu, all expressionless at this time.
If among these 50,000 soldiers and horses, their servant standard battalion is also there, maybe they can do some tricks. But unfortunately, Zhao Yu had already prepared, not to sign the camp.
Even if they suddenly opened their mouths at this time and encouraged these soldiers and horses not to obey Zhao Yu's orders, I'm afraid not many would be willing to listen to them.
And they dare not.
What about 50,000 troops?
Is Zhao Yu afraid?
I'm afraid that they will be killed by backhanding, and everything will stop.
Just keep silent.
Zhao Yu brought these generals here to show that they agreed. It is also a way to appease the military. Zhao Yu is not afraid of these people making trouble. If you do anything wrong, kill him directly.
Even if it's a general soldier, so what?
Zhao Yu didn't care about the Imperial Court or the high officials. At most, resign and go back to Clear Sky Monastery. Could it be that also people can do anything to him? Arrest him and behead him, will he be punished?
This is a good idea.
If it weren't for him alone, without the countless means of Divine Immortal clone, in fact, he would not look down on these soldiers and horses.
After some agitation and commitment, Zhao Yu ordered the troops and horses to be repaired on the spot according to the original organization. Only then did he, together with Ma Ke, Wu Sangui and the others, return to the General Military Mansion.
"Zongbing Ma, I'm offended."
Zhao Yu finally smiled, cup one fist in the other hand and sincerely said: "Two days ago, I'm really sorry. But this matter is of great importance and I have to do it. I know Mr. Ma's intention, so please don't take this matter seriously. Mr. Ma's loyalty will definitely be shown to Crown Prince."
Ma Ke's face was not good-looking, but when he heard this, he immediately smiled: "Where is it. General Zhao is also for the Crown Prince, for the Great Ming. What is it that I feel wronged? I don't care, I don't care."
Zhao Yu also apologized to Li Fuming and another person, and the two of them also said it was okay.
As for Wu Sangui, Zhao Yu treated them coldly.
Summoned Commander Zhang to make the best preparations for the army to attack, and then he put on his armor and carried the iron cone. When he left, he glanced at Wu Sangui and the others: "You have to remember, the world is still Great. Ming's world."
Wu Sangui and the three complexion changed, looked at Zhao Yu's back, opened his mouth, and was speechless.
It's a very troublesome thing to start an army.
An army of 50,000 is not a hundred or ten people. There are various related provisions, the army's marching route, how to march, which one is in the front, which one is behind, and so on.
It is said that the commander is rare, and the difficulty lies here.
Manage 100 people, anyone with a little talent can do it, even if they don't do it well, it won't cause a big mess. However, the difficulty of managing a thousand people is different. If there are more than ten thousand people, the requirements for the commander will increase exponentially.
It's not like those big Trading Company and workshop owners, who manage 100,000 80,000, say those Trading Company bosses and workshop owners are comparable to Great General.
There is no dharma idol on a par.
Zhao Yu was in a hurry and was a little confused.
Thanks to his quick mind, although he was busy, he did not make mistakes. Finally, someone came to the camp to recommend himself, and with his help, this gradually became smooth and orderly.
This person is Ma Ke's mentor.
The name is unfamiliar and ordinary, called Yang He.
He had previously gone to persuade the chief soldiers of the towns, although he did not fully achieve his goal, but he also brought these headquarters to the Mountain and Sea Trial. Otherwise, Zhao Yu would have to transfer troops, and the difficulty would not only be raised by one level.
After completing this matter, Yang He did not return to the General Military Mansion.
Just have someone deliver a letter and wait outside the barracks. It wasn't until Zhao Yu began to arrange for the army to start, and after waiting for a while, he recommended himself.
Zhao Yu really took him seriously.
This Yang He is capable after all, and the logistical arrangements for the 50,000 army have been done in an orderly manner without any confusion. This makes Zhao Yu extremely happy.
So he entrusted everything in this matter to him, and he took a hundred personal soldiers and went to inspect.
In this way, a day later, that is, early in the morning the next day, the army moved out.
The 50,000 army is divided into three divisions, front, middle, and back. Zhao Yu is in the center, with Yang He as a temporary staff, and Zhang is in the front. .
...
It was still Zhou Yanru's mansion, still in that dim study.
The three cabinet leaders are Zhou Yanru, Chen Yan and Xie Sheng.
The atmosphere is a bit dull.
The three of them were pondering, and under the lights, their expressions changed.
After a long time, Chen Yan was sighed and said, "I don't want that martial artist to have such a reputation in Liaodong. No one of the six general soldiers dared to resist, so he easily succeeded in 50,000 soldiers and horses."
"What can I do?" Zhou Yanru said in a condensed voice, "Now that the 50,000-strong army is on the way, and will arrive in the capital soon, it's time for the Crown Prince to lead the army, and with the assistance of the martial artist, wouldn't it be emerge victorious in every battle?! "
Xie Sheng was silent.
Chen Yan thoughtfully said: "It's not that there is no way. The army goes to war, not with soldiers, but with generals, you can win. Provisions are the most important."
Zhou Yanru Shaking his head again and again: "Crown Prince has been active in recent days. According to the news from the people below, it is inferred that Crown Prince has enough financial resources to support a war. Even if we completely cut off the supply of provisions, we can't help it."
How could Chen Yan not know? Hearing this just sighed: "I didn't expect that Crown Prince was only fifteen years old, so he was able to do so secretly. I'm afraid he was preparing for this many years ago. What a 'Mingjun'!"
"Ming Jun..." Xie Sheng laughed: "He's not a king yet."
Zhou Yanru and Chen Yan both laughed.
