Chapter 1024 Zhenfu Division and Military Propaganda Division?
If we say "Punishment Battalion" and "Supervision Team", they are the big sticks that Zhang Cheng prepared for his subordinates, but they are also appropriate. Although there is only one punishment camp now, it will definitely be able to deter people after it is established. the whole army.

The supervising team is even more based on the main cavalry of each battalion. Although it is an unconventional organization that was temporarily established on the battlefield, its power to execute deserters without trial is still prohibitive.

However, Zhang Cheng believed that these methods alone were not enough. In his mind, in addition to playing the role of deterrence, the governor should be good at comforting the inner emotions of the soldiers of each battalion, so that they can win without fear on the battlefield. key.

Although, the governors of the towns still control the power of "examination of merit" in their hands. With a pen in their hands, they have written the military merits of tens of thousands of brave soldiers. As long as they record them, the reward will naturally not be far away. up.

Therefore, while forcing the soldiers of each battalion to fight their lives on the battlefield, they also recorded their meritorious service according to the facts and won fame and awards for the soldiers.

But Yongningbo Zhang Cheng felt that these alone were not enough. In order to boost the morale of the courageous army, so that the majority of soldiers could gather their hearts together, twist them into a rope, and achieve their benefits. The ability to break gold.

In particular, he set up a new department - the Military Propaganda Department!

Military Propaganda Department—as the name suggests, it is a department dedicated to promoting the brave army. In fact, this is a department created by Zhang Cheng after imitating the art troupe of later generations.

The reason why he named it "Military Propaganda Department" instead of an ordinary propaganda office is naturally because of the word "army" in front of the name.

Zhang Cheng discovered a little trick. No matter what kind of organization or department he created, as long as he put the word "army" in front of it, he could avoid the false accusations of those villains in the local area.

No matter what they think, Zhang Cheng only admits that these departments are necessary for the brave army to win the battle, and they are all created to enhance the morale of the army.

As for the inside, it is a different scene. They can act in the name of the brave army, even if they interfere with the affairs of the local guard department, it is normal.

Don't say that in places like Xuanfu Town, where there are real soil guards, even if they enter Henan in the future, where the imperial court has long lost its prestige, wouldn't they still do whatever they want?

So what if we do some extraordinary things in Datong and Shanxi in the future?
Let me ask, which one of the subordinates of the current group of generals in the Ming Dynasty is not exhausted, not to mention doing something out of the box, that is, slaughtering a city of people to make up for their military merits, which one is there? Those who don't have long eyes dare to pierce the sky!
In fact, even if they pierced the sky, so what, did Emperor Chongzhen really dare to capture and kill them?
If that was the case, if he was a little careless, he would force out another demon king who slaughtered the world, and now Chuang, Cao, Xian and other bandits would be almost powerless to wipe out.

If there are a few more powerful rogues here, the Great Ming Dynasty may really change hands!

The Military Propaganda Department consists of various bureaus for harvesting, editing, and propaganda.

Harvesting, of course, is to go deep into the soldiers of each battalion to collect outstanding figures and deeds in the army, or to go deep into the common people of military households in various places to collect their history of persecution and enslavement, as well as their beautiful life today.

Of course, the tragedies of famines and plagues in various places are also within the scope of their collection. Even how the rogues engulfed the people, drove the vagrants to shovel the city, and the plunder and plunder when they established slaves and invaded the bandits, all the tragedies in the world can be seen. is the target of their harvest.

Compilation is to carry out in-depth artistic processing on the content collected by the collection team, so that it can not only be understood by ordinary people, but also allow them to see the truth behind the incident and make them empathize with each other, so as to create a heart of common hatred and hatred Come.

They not only want to process the heroic deeds of those heroic soldiers who risked their lives and killed the enemy, but also contrast the stability and peace of Xuanzhen with the famine, plague, and war outside, and also vividly describe the evil and evil of the rogues and slaves. displayed in front of everyone.

According to Zhang Cheng, the compiled content should not only be easy to understand, but also catchy, so that ordinary people can understand it.

The last is the Propaganda Bureau, which is further subdivided into storytelling, drama, folk art, etc. They use different performance forms to directly interpret the content processed by the Editing Bureau to the soldiers and civilians in Xuanzhen.

In the Propaganda Bureau, there was even a brand-new form of performance—the skit.

Yes, it is "Sketch".

This form of performance was popular in Zhang Cheng's original era. Now that he wants to promote and mobilize, he will naturally not let go of this provocative performance.

Although Zhang Cheng didn't have much talent for acting, it didn't hinder his determination to bring the performance form of sketches to the Ming Dynasty stage.

Even the drama of joining the army in this era was necessary to be improved by Zhang Cheng, making it almost exactly the same as the cross talk in later generations, and the Nanxi opera, which was popular in the Jiangnan generation, was also improved by Zhang Cheng according to the situation of the model opera.

There is also drama, a brand new form of performance, which was also brought into his military propaganda department by Zhang Cheng.

With Zhang Cheng's qualifications and level, it is impossible for him to act as a director to directly guide the arrangement and rehearsal of various programs. He just listed out the brand-new ideas in his mind, and he no longer needs to worry about the rest. There are various officials under his command to try to get it done.

According to Yong Ningbo, the program of his Military Propaganda Department is not for those high-ranking officials, nobles and gentry, but for the soldiers of the brave army and the common people in the area controlled by Zhang Cheng.

What he wants is not nobility and elegance, but resonance!

But as long as the soldiers under his command and the civilians under his command can resonate after watching these performances, develop the will to defend their beautiful homeland to the death, and the belief to resist the invasion of the bandits and Tartars, it will be considered a success.

At a deeper level, the soldiers and the people under his command should sincerely support Yongningbo Zhang Cheng, and firmly believe that Yongningbo is the savior who can protect them.

Only in this way can we achieve the goal of controlling the army and the people from the spiritual level, and only in this way can we have a strong army that is absolutely loyal to itself and invincible.

…………

The Military Propaganda Department is now placed under the Fusi of the Suijun Township, and is managed by Fuhe Biao, the general township of the Yongyi Army, while the other five battalions only have a "Military Propaganda Department", which is also managed by the Fuguan of each battalion town .

The "Military Propaganda Department" set up in the other five battalions only has the function of performance and publicity. It has departments such as storytelling, rap, folk art, and sketches, which are respectively responsible for various performances.

Only in the Military Propaganda Department of Weiyuan Camp, there are two special bureaus of "harvesting" and "editing", and the Propaganda Bureau of the Military Propaganda Department hardly undertakes performance tasks. Their main responsibility is to arrange programs .

After all, after writing manuscripts of various themes collected by the editorial bureau, they cannot be directly turned into performances. The rehearsals are all rehearsed by the Propaganda Bureau. Perform promotional performances.

It can be said that the Military Propaganda Department, as a department, actually undertakes the function of political propaganda, but this statement cannot be made on the surface, so for the time being, it can only be used to boost morale to describe the role of the Military Propaganda Department.

According to Zhang Cheng's vision, by showing the stability and prosperity under his rule, he can inspire people to be positive, and at the same time, by publicizing the tragic situation outside, he can make them feel grateful to themselves and want to defend everything that exists from the bottom of their hearts.

On the other hand, through the publicity of the heroic models in the brave army, the general soldiers are encouraged to rise up, forming a good atmosphere for everyone to move forward and strive for merit.

Furthermore, the brutality of the rogues and the Tartars is deeply rooted in the hearts of the soldiers of the brave army through sketches, dramas, military dramas and other performances, so that they have a kind of hatred and hatred from the bottom of their hearts, even deep-seated hatred. .

In this way, the spiritual power armed with hatred is an invincible existence. Once on the battlefield, they will move forward bravely and kill all the enemies in front of them at all costs.

After the Zhenfu Division had a military propaganda department, it also began to evolve into a modern political department. With Zhang Cheng's full support, this evolution process is also gradually accelerating.

In order to further improve the status of Zhenfusi and Zhenfuguan in the Yongyi Army, Zhang Cheng also formulated a detailed military rank awarding system for them.

According to the "Regulations on Military Ranks of the Courageous Army", when the town governors at all levels confer military ranks for the first time, they are all awarded in comparison with the military ranks of the chief generals of the troops they belong to.

In each battalion of the Yongyi Army, there are military governors; and in each thousand headquarters, there are also a number of full-time governors and sergeants;

However, in the bureaus and teams below, there is no longer the post of town governor, but in order to better control the troops, Zhang Cheng still insists on sending a sergeant in each bureau and team to act as a bureau governor. Fuhe team appeases.

All the governors and governors stationed in the troops below the battalion do not occupy their combat posts, that is to say, the posts of all the governors and sergeants are approved separately and are completely independent of the combat units. .

In order to carry out his own philosophy resolutely and thoroughly, Zhang Cheng also specially created the Zhenfu College, which is used to train Zhenfu sergeants, and all Zhenfu officers will be selected from among the outstanding Zhenfu sergeants promotion.

In this way, there will be a training institution for Zhenfu sergeants and town governors, which can continuously train Zhenfu sergeants and town governors for themselves, and it is almost completely independent of the military system.

From now on, as long as I can completely and completely control the appeasement officers of the entire army, I will almost control the main force in the brave army, and the other generals, no matter what, will never be able to control this appeasement force with an independent system.

Even if they have some ulterior motives, the most they can do is to control the appeasement force in their own camp, not to mention it is difficult to control all of them in their hands, because the town appellants at all levels supervise each other, and under special circumstances, they have the privilege of leapfrogging and reporting .

The Yongyi Army is getting bigger and bigger. Today, there are only tens of thousands of people in the six battalions. It is already very difficult to control them. In the future, there will be more, stronger and more complicated people.

It is impossible for Zhang Cheng to directly control the battalions forever. In the future, he will inevitably let go of his hands and feet. He can only control the command of the brave army by grasping some key people and things.

That's why he made great efforts to cultivate the head of the Zhenfu Division. In his opinion, the current Zhenfu Division is like a collection of institutions such as the Military Law Department, Military Intelligence Department, Political Department, and Art Troupe. Although it is too complicated, it is also impossible.

There is no rush for anything!

The Zhenfu Division is a bright line for Zhang Cheng to control the Yongyi Army in the future. Before it becomes extremely complicated, it needs to be split into several departments.

What's more, Yongning Bo Zhang Cheng still has a dark line lurking in the night, and is always monitoring all key people and events.

Such a relationship of light and darkness is not only a complementary relationship, but also can restrain each other. No matter which party dares to be too presumptuous, and the two of them can't meet, they are not afraid that they will unite into a whole and threaten their own status.

…………

After everything was agreed upon, Bo Yongning and Zhang Cheng suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and his mood instantly relaxed.

Although he and his confidants and beloved generals had a good drink at the general's office last night, it was really hearty, it seems that this feeling has not appeared for a long time.

Once upon a time, he and the soldiers under his command would not talk about singing and dancing every night, drunk and dreaming, but they would come here every now and then without running away. But now with the continuous improvement of his status, this kind of fun has become more and more a luxury.

"General, Mrs. Tang has warmed you the hangover soup, and has been waiting in the room for a long time, please come in quickly, General."

A graceful voice came, and Zhang Cheng looked away from the moon in the night sky. He turned his head to look, and what he saw was a very beautiful little face with two big eyes that were very cute.

Zhang Cheng looked at the lovely maid in front of him, and asked with a smile, "Are you the two young men who accompanied Madam Tang out of the palace?"

"Back to the general, the servant is right."

Zhang Cheng looked at her carefully, she had an exquisite figure, she looked similar to Tang Chunru, who was also sixteen or seventeen years old, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, why didn't he notice this shy and cute little man before?

"What's your name, how old are you?"

Facing Zhang Cheng's questioning, although this small man had a shy expression, he came out of the palace after all, had seen the world to some extent, and had received professional training, so he could handle such scenes with ease.

After she gave a little salute, she replied softly: "My maidservant's humble name is Li Qing'er, and she is 16 years old this year."

"Erbajia's body is like a crisp, and she kills a fool with a sword at her waist..."

Zhang Cheng recited a poem casually, only to hear Li Qing'er's pretty face flushed slightly, she was really shy and cute.

She entered the palace two years earlier than Tang Chunru, and she also knew some characters and read a little in the palace, and she also had a little sense of the meaning of this poem, how could she not blush and feel hot?
But after all there is a difference between honor and inferiority, even if she came from the palace, she is still just a maidservant in front of Yongning Bo Zhang Cheng.

In fact, Li Qing'er's heart was indeed extremely bright. She was extremely excited to be able to leave the palace with Tang Chunru and escape from the gloomy inner courtyard of the forbidden palace, especially to serve such a heroic and handsome general.

Since ancient times, "beauties love heroes", especially the young, handsome, mighty and handsome generals, why are they not loved by everyone?
"General, please follow the slaves into the house."

"Okay, lead the way."

Li Qinger held a palace lantern, bowed her head and led the way forward, Yongning Bo Zhang Cheng followed behind, looking at the graceful figure in front of her through the slightly dim light, her nose unexpectedly rushed into her. He was slightly intoxicated by a girl's quiet body fragrance.
