Chapter 849 Ideological Education
On the evening of October [-]th, Jiang Dahai's troops were supported by the chief general Chai Guozhu sent by the imperial court, successfully launched a mutiny to capture Li Hualong alive, and more than [-] elite soldiers from Jizhen captured Yangzhou City anyway, and Jiang Dahai's troops successfully entered Yangzhou , took control of the Yangzhou area, and asked Xiao Ruxun for the next action plan.

Ye Mengxiong read the battle report in amazement, and then said to the astonished crowd: "Li Hualong was captured alive, Yangzhou is already under our army's control, Chai Guozhu anyway, [-] elite soldiers from Ji Town have surrendered."

Everyone in the hall was shocked, some were shocked, some were secretly delighted, and all living beings were seen at a glance, all of which were seen by Xiao Ruxun, even the worried look on Yuan Huang's face was seen by Xiao Ruxun In the eyes.

After thinking about it carefully, a confident smile appeared on Xiao Ruxun's face again.

"It's so good! The overall situation has been decided! As long as my main force arrives in Nanjing to join the navy and Jizhen soldiers, I can move the whole army to the north and attack Shenni in the north! Gentlemen! I will share with you the merits of rebuilding the universe for Ming Dynasty!"

The scene was peaceful.

After everyone dispersed, Xiao Ruxun left a few important people to discuss the schedule for departure to Nanjing and other matters. Then he took Ye Mengxiong's hand and said that he would have another drink with Ye Mengxiong to reminisce, and he also took Yuan Huang together to reminisce about the past. days of hard work.

What Yuan Huang and Ye Mengxiong said was also full of sighs.

Yuan Huang also took the opportunity to apologize to Xiao Ruxun, saying that he spoke too seriously that day and didn't grasp the measure properly, so that Xiao Ruxun should not take it seriously.

Xiao Ruxun also smiled and said that her reaction was too big, but she just remembered that when she was persecuted by Shen Yiguan, the grief and anger in her heart could not be suppressed, so she didn't hold back her emotions and caused trouble to Yuan Huang. Xiao Ruxun expressed her apology very much, Yuan Huang In his opinion, he is just like his own teacher, and he respects Yuan Huang very much.

Ye Mengxiong admired Xiao Ruxun's humility very much.

The atmosphere is great.

After Yuan Huang and Ye Mengxiong left, Xiao Ruxun let Mei Guozhen, who had been hiding behind the screen, come out.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Mei. Right now, I can only let you continue to feel wronged. Mr. Ye Meng and Mr. Xiong have met you, and the major issue is still pending. We can only let you continue to hide your identity until we break into the capital and get rid of Shen. If you are a thief, His Majesty will issue an order to restore your and General Ma’s reputation.”

Mei Guozhen shook his head and smiled.

"Ji Xin, you don't have to worry about me, I understand everything, and even if I am innocent, I shouldn't stand up right now. After all, I was one of the people who made Ye Gong suffer unfair treatment back then, or it was mainly me who gave the wrong treatment. I have given up the reason for those speech officials to attack Ye Gong, and I am sorry for him."

It seems that Mei Guozhen seems to have some regrets about what caused Ye Mengxiong to seek refuge in the south.

Xiao Ruxun smiled and said: "Mr. Mei, you can rest assured that something important will happen. I will explain this matter for you and Mr. Ye."

Mei Guozhen nodded with a smile.

"Ji Xin, thanks to you."

After all, Mei Guozhen sighed and left through the back door.

After Mei Guozhen also left, Xiao Ruxun called the guards at the gate.

"Go and call Zhang Wu."

"Yes!"

The guards quickly called Zhang Wu, the commander of Heishui, over.

Heishui, which originally had 30 people in Myanmar, has now grown to a scale of thousands of people. Not only important information exchanges around the country, but even some military intelligence, Heishui can handle it all by itself. Zhang Wugong is indispensable for this. .

Therefore, Xiao Ruxun generally kept Zhang Wu by his side, and personally ordered Zhang Wu to handle any matter, and did not deal with other people.

"Big guy!"

Zhang Wu greeted him.

"Well, Zhang Wu, I have a task for you. Immediately send reliable people to Yangzhou Mansion to find Jiang Dahai, and ask him to arrange for [-] elite soldiers from Ji Town under Chai Guozhu to go south to fight in the direction of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and to support the direction of Ningbo Mansion. Zheng Ying's troops, the two troops merged and handed over to Zheng Ying's command, took Jiangsu and Zhejiang for me.

Immediately mobilize troops, don’t stay, don’t hesitate, let them start to act before I arrive in Nanjing, and arrange two land reform working groups to go with you, send them to Ningbo and hand them over to Xie He, let Xie He He made a unified arrangement to let Xie He speed up his actions. This matter is confidential, and no one but me should tell it, especially Mr. Yuan and Mr. Mei. Watch it closely! "

"Yes! This subordinate understands!"

Zhang Wu went to do it immediately.

Right now these things can’t be disclosed, and the news must be blocked, especially not to let Ye Mengxiong and the others know. As for the future things...

Let's talk about it later!
On October [-]th, the reorganization of the army was completed. Xiao Ruxun led the main force down the river to Nanjing. struggle.

The same is true for the army, either they were captured and surrendered at the first touch, or they took the initiative to put down their weapons and surrender, or they came to the Zhennan army to ask for surrender and a full meal.

So the number of troops just snowballed.

In order to ensure the army's combat effectiveness and food supply, Xiao Ruxun decisively treated them differently.

All the troops that Xiao Ruxun surrendered along the way were screened according to strict classification criteria, and the strong and young were incorporated into the main force, and all the weak were thrown to the logistics transport team to deliver food and fodder, or directly returned to the guards To cultivate the land that was easily taken back by the army.

Those who join the main combat force must carry out all-round "ideological education".

Prior to this, Xiao Ruxun's ideological education was limited to the level where the junior officers of the Zhennan Army led them to sit around a high fire and told them the story of the past.

But now it's different, not only the officers are required to tell the story of the past, but also the surrendered soldiers are required to tell their own past stories.

Commonly known as the Complaint Conference.

Anyway, before the night rest, the officer who was originally a veteran of the Zhennan Army and his surrendered soldiers sat around the fire, and each gave a bowl of wine and a little food. Everyone sat around and chatted.

First listen to the story of his original refugee status and his rebirth under the leadership of Marshal Xiao, and then under the guidance of the officer, each soldier who was a recruiter or a guard soldier also sent himself The stories of the past are told.

How to be arrested by the young man, or how to be oppressed and humiliated by the leaders of the guard and the local scholars, how to be hungry, how to not get military pay, how to think of family ruin and no future.

Then the officer cried with them, and cried together, and then drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, looking forward to a bright future.

Under Marshal Xiao, he has food, meat, wine, and military pay. Marshal Xiao loves soldiers like sons, never abuses soldiers, never deducts military pay, and does his best to serve every soldier in every battle. Heal the wounded brothers and never give up on any brother.

Weeping while talking, and then we all cried into a ball together, the resentment in the heart was discharged together with the sad tears, and the resentment accumulated in the body for many years was poured out, making them seem to have gained a new life.

Then the officer makes a summary.

As long as you stay by Marshal Xiao's side and become Marshal Xiao's soldier, you will be able to live a good life, have meat to eat, wine to drink, military pay, and be a human being!
Of course, the officers have to say something extra, and the more important point is to abide by the military discipline established by Marshal Xiao.

All the troops in Ming Dynasty knew that Commander Xiao was extremely strict in running the army, and he showed no mercy to soldiers, officers, or even generals who did not observe military discipline. For a moment, deter these soldiers.

You can't just treat the army generously. It is an extremely important means to give kindness and strength together.
