The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 748: A Trip to Tianjin

"I founded Tiangong Academy and Xianxue for only three things: fairness, fairness, and damn fairness!"

In Tianjin, the Navy Camp, Zhang Yun逸 stood in the center of the parade ground, looked around, and began his speech passionately.

Perhaps they never expected that a Duke would actually swear, the soldiers in the parade ground were stunned at first.

Then, there was a loud cheer.

Zhang Yunyi waited for about a cup of tea, and when the cheers gradually faded, he raised his hand and continued, "I, Zhang Yunyi, will keep my word. Not only do I want everyone to have food to eat and every family to live in, but I also want your children to be able to go to school!"

"Your Excellency has been so kind to us that you have reborn us!"

"We all believe in the Duke!"

Seeing the strong reaction in the training ground, Zhang Yunyi changed the subject and said, "However, there are many people who covet Tiangong Academy. As the saying goes, one hero needs three helpers. I hope you can help me to protect this industry that everyone relies on for survival."

After arriving in Tianjin, Zhang Yun逸 gradually became more relaxed in his words.

"I swear to serve you till death, my Lord!"

Someone off the field took the lead, and immediately all the soldiers responded in unison, with great momentum and high morale.

Zhang Yunyi nodded with satisfaction, and Fang said loudly: "Internally, I will do my best to withstand the pressure and swear to advance and retreat together with you. Externally, I need you to defend me to the death with your real swords and guns."

At this point, he paused for a moment and said, "At the beginning of the year, the red-haired people threatened the trade route and tried to force our Tiangong Institute to transfer technology and open up the market... What are you going to do?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

In order to strengthen the soldiers' faith, Zhang Yun逸 did not mind framing the Red-Haired Man with some false charges.

Listening to the boiling passion and solemn atmosphere in the audience, Zhang Yunyi was very satisfied with his plan.

"You are the backbone of our Tiangong Academy. With you, our Tiangong Academy can not fear strong enemies. I came here this time not to review your training, but I know that you have been training hard all year round, so I brought hundreds of pigs and sheep to reward you!

As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to train an army, so everyone should take a good rest during the New Year. After the New Year, you will have the strength to train hard. For this reason, I have specially composed a song to encourage all the soldiers! "

Although Zhang Yun逸's words were relatively restrained, his tone was full of temptation.

Having said that, Zhang Yun逸 waved his hand and drums and music started to play in the audience.

Several winds and rains, several springs and autumns, wind, frost, snow, rain and rapids

……

The golden shield is forged with blood, and it shows its skill in times of danger.

……

The passionate singing immediately echoed inside and outside the school grounds.

The lyrics are simple to begin with, with only a few lines going back and forth, and they are catchy.

After singing it two or three times, some people started humming along under the leadership of Zhang Yun逸.

On the train, Zhang Yun逸 had already heard it before, but the environment was different, so his feelings were naturally different.

Even he was infected, let alone the soldiers on the parade ground, all of them were young men around 20 years old, at the age of full vigor and vitality.

For a time, the crowd was excited.

Thousands of people sang in unison, and the drums and music were barely audible. Zhang Yun逸 led his soldiers in humming for a long time. When his throat felt dry, he raised his hand and pressed again at the right time.

The parade ground with thousands of people suddenly fell silent as he lowered his hands. Even though this was the effect Zhang Yunyi hoped to achieve, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion, and said loudly: "Today we sing the same song, and from now on we will be both comrades and brothers. However, since this is a reward for everyone, of course we can't just sing. I will accompany you to watch two more plays..."

After saying that, he raised his hands high and clapped twice.

The actors who had been transferred from Tianjin Quyuan Zatan and had been waiting for a long time immediately went on stage to perform.

If the previous speeches and singing were just prelude, then the opera was the real highlight.

Of course, the song I chose couldn't be chosen randomly, so I chose "Feng Bo Ting".

It tells the story of Jin Wushu abducting Qin Hui and his wives and concubines, and Yue Fei and his sons leading their troops to attack the enemy camp and rescue Qin Hui's family. However, Qin Hui did not know how to repay the favor, but instead falsely accused Yue Fei of collaborating with the enemy. He issued twelve golden medals in a row to recall Yue Fei, and finally hanged Yue Fei and his sons to death in Fengbo Pavilion on trumped-up charges.

If Guan Yu is the representative of righteousness, then Yue Fei is the well-deserved military god in the eyes of the people of Daxia.

These are stories that are well known to the people. After being interpreted in opera, they are more able to stir the emotions of the audience.

By the time the first act was over, the voices calling for the killing of Qin Hui and the saving of Yue Fei had already resounded through the sky.

Even occasionally, a few words could be heard whispering curses against Song Gaozong Zhao Gou.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Rights that are separated from the mass base are just rootless duckweed.

If one wants to control the army at his disposal, in addition to nominal power, he also needs to influence the soldiers subtly and make them protect the army sincerely and from the bottom of their hearts.

These soldiers already have parents and families, and they work or study in Tiangong Academy or Xianxue.

There are even people who have suffered disasters and whose families have received favors from Zhang Yun逸, and their interests are already tied to Zhang Yun逸.

Sincerity is the real killer skill. Although Zhang Yun逸 was suspected of stirring up emotions, he established schools, built staff dormitories, and improved the treatment of soldiers and workers.

Every single thing, every single incident, has a trace to follow.

Today's instigative operations not only narrowed the distance between them, but also added a sense of common hatred of the enemy with the soldiers.

Whenever I think of Yue Fei's story or sing the song "Young man has great ambitions and does not worry about anything", I will think of Zhang Yun逸's impassioned speech today.

Through subtle influence, his prestige in this army will inevitably increase day by day.

As for whether the soldiers will associate his experience with Yue Fei when he is targeted by the emperor in the future, that is a matter of opinion.

Yue Fei is a military god in the eyes of the people of Daxia, and it is politically correct to publicize his deeds in the army.

Anyway, Zhang Yun逸 would only admit that he guided them to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and would never admit that he had any ulterior motives.

After all, Zhao Gou was not the emperor of Daxia, and Yue Fei's operas were also widely circulated among the people.

It is not impossible to take the sword of the previous dynasty and kill the officials of this dynasty, but the key is that you are not a soft persimmon that can be bullied by others, let alone someone who can be slaughtered by others.

This was not only Zhang Yun逸's backup plan, but also the basis for his confidence in controlling the army.

Zhang Yun逸 left the capital by train on the evening of the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month and arrived in Tianjin on the morning of the 21st day. After a brief arrangement, he went to the military camp to express his condolences.

On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, he spent the New Year's Eve with the soldiers. The next morning, he met with the deployed personnel and encouraged them. At noon, he boarded the return train with the farewell of Jia Lian, Xue Ke, Fu Shi and others.

Although he only stayed in Tianjin for three days, he ate and lived with the soldiers and led them in humming from time to time. Not only did he become one with the soldiers, but he also established his own prestige. It can be said that he gained a lot.
