Chapter 510 Cut! Cut! Cut!
Zheng Zhi is coming back this time to start reorganizing the Hebei Imperial Army. Now there are 100,000 soldiers gathered in Hejian Prefecture, including old and weak, real registered soldiers, and many people who are worthy of the numbers.
Zheng Zhi obviously knew what the result would be if such an army went north. Not to mention killing the enemy, it did not even bring many hidden dangers. If it was true in history, most of the troops were defeated thousands of miles as soon as they started fighting, it would be really unimaginable.
There were several Western Army members in history who participated in the battle against Liao, and there were many people who were dragged down by these mobs. Even if they died in the battle formation in the Zhong Shishi, there were more or less reasons for these drags. There was also the defeat of Liu Yanqing from Yongxing Road in the Western Army. Although it was related to his own suspicion, caution and even timidity, they were also dragged down by these mobs. The defeat of a hundred thousand troops could not be stopped by a master.
Not to mention that several Western troops can turn the tide in the comprehensive war between the two countries.
Zheng Zhi returned to the camp, sat firmly in the commander's position, and prepared a banquet in the army.
Zheng Zhi carried the wine bowl continuously, but fortunately, he didn't need to drink too much. But he was thinking about things in his heart.
After everyone came forward to greet him, Zheng Zhi put down the wine bowl, raised his hand and pressed him down, signaled everyone to stop the sound, and then spoke, "Today, all the generals gathered here. I believe they all know that the beginning of spring next year is the time for the Northern Expedition. One hundred thousand troops will be gathered in Hejian, and the beginning of spring will be fought. Heshuo has not heard of the war for a hundred years. Now that the war is in progress, are you all ready?"
As soon as Zheng Zhi asked, the tent that was originally laughing and cheerful immediately became serious, and there was a lack of energy in the seriousness. Although most of these military generals here are from a family of military generals, few of them have actually fought. Even if they have fought, they are only suppressing some mountain bandits.
Not to mention the people here, they are the fathers and ancestors of these people, who have never really fought for several generations.
After Zheng Zhi said that, he looked up at everyone, but none of them looked up at Zheng Zhi. Zheng Zhi shook his head and said, "The general died on the battlefield, you should be willing to die."
Speaking of the word "death", everyone here lowered their heads slightly, looking at their eyes and their noses. If someone else came to ask, maybe many people here would talk freely.
However, there was the King Zheng sitting in front of him. The murderous aura in his words was known to everyone. This King Zheng was not a person who could evade casually. If he spoke easily, he would be counterproductive. If he arranged for a pioneer, he would be seeking death by himself.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Hu Yanzhuo stood up and said, "My husband is in front of him, I will die!"
Zheng Zhi nodded and raised his hand to signal Hu Yanzhuo to sit down. The general Hu Yan in front of him followed Zheng Zhi to the battle formation, and Zheng Zhi knew it.
Zheng Zhi raised his eyes and looked around again, and his eyes paused on the two acquaintances for a moment. One shot Dong Ping and the other shot Zhang Qing without feather arrows.
The two of them actually hesitated in their hearts, and they were unwilling to be the one who stood up. After feeling Zheng Zhi's pause in his eyes, they also stood up. Dong Ping said, "Report to my grandpa, I dare to fight!"
Zhang Qing also held his eyebrows for a while and said, "The last general dares to go into battle."
Zheng Zhi nodded again and said, "You are all the main generals. The battle is imminent. If you want to save your life, you should listen carefully to a certain order. Those who are afraid of fighting will be beheaded on the spot. Those who are afraid of standing in the battle will not beheaded, and the house will be confiscated and the army will be expelled. Do you understand?"
This is the first time that Zheng Zhi said this in front of these people, and it is already a military order before the war.
All I heard was heard by everyone here, and he answered: "I understand."
Only Hu Yanzhuo, Dong Ping and Zhang Qing spoke louder, and everyone else was powerless, and most of them were still thinking about the scene of the battle formation and the thoughts of life and death.
Zheng Zhi didn't say much, stood up and looked around.
Everyone stood up, and even Huang Qianshan stood up. Huang Qianshan looked like he was watching a show, and the war had nothing to do with him, so naturally he had nothing to do with him.
After everyone stood up, Zheng Zhi said, "All people over thirty-five and under 15 years old in the army will be sent back to their hometowns. After three days, all the soldiers in the state will be reorganized and reorganized. All the generals and officials will be re-appointed. You should not leave without permission in the army. Those who leave without permission will be treated as deserters and beheaded!"
After Zheng Zhi spoke, he had already said beheading several times, and each time he spoke so hard that he was even more frightened and trembling. It seemed that he would be beheaded in everything he did. Obviously, everyone still remembered how Wang Fu's cousin was chopped off his head with a knife on the platform.
"Abide by your military orders!" Everyone answered in a scattered manner.
Zheng Zhi's method of reorganizing also indirectly deprived the military power of these chief generals. After the reorganization, all soldiers in the prefectures were disrupted and they had to re-appoint military generals. Zheng Zhi was worried about these people.
Although in the era of cold weapons, it is a taboo to not recognize soldiers and generals do not recognize soldiers, it is better than to take the lead in escaping when war begins. As long as the main general does not take the lead in escaping, but takes the lead in killing the enemy, Zheng Zhi can accept other uncontrollable things.
Zheng Zhi saw the weak words of the crowd, and felt powerless. He had to do his best to do his job and said, "I have no demands on you, there is only one thing that needs to be clear. Anyone who is afraid of war or who escapes, beheads! If the general invades, he will be executed on the spot and his whole family will be exiled to the front line. When the military order is at that time, those who do not obey the military order will be executed immediately without mercy!"
Zheng Zhi emphasized again, thinking that the nearly 100,000 Heshuo Imperial Guards should not really become a burden, and should not really drag them down, and should also play a role.
It was a celebration banquet, but it had changed. Everyone no longer had the smiles they had before, nor did they have flattering words. Most of them had pale faces and were thinking endlessly.
Some people were already thinking about finding connections to transfer from Hejian Mansion. The Zheng Gong in front of him was really scary. As he spoke, he slashed around, making many people panic.
At this time, Zheng Zhi raised the wine bowl, raised it across his chest, glanced at everyone with a sharp look, and said, "This bowl is the last bowl tonight. You are all full. I wish you a great victory in the spring and you can all be promoted."
No one answered, only the sound of pouring wine.
Zheng Zhi took the lead in drinking it all, and then everyone drank a bowl of it.
Huang Qianshan took a few sips and finally drank a bowl of strong wine. Seeing that Zheng Zhi sat down again, he started eating, his expression calmed down a lot, and he smiled and said, "Mr. Zheng's military management methods are very good, so I admire him."
Zheng Zhi glanced at Huang Qianshan's smiling face and said, "Hejian Mansion should cooperate with the war, and there must be no mistakes in any errands. If there is any mistake, the head of Huang's prefect will also be hung on the top of the city."
Huang Qianshan was stunned when he heard this, nodded repeatedly and replied yes.
The war is extraordinary. At this point, it is no longer a time to laugh. Whether it is deterrence or intimidation, Zheng Zhi must ensure that it is foolproof. The Hejian Mansion seems to have no direct relationship with the war, but the Hejian Mansion Office must cooperate fully in the logistics affairs such as food and grass transportation and no mistakes can be made.
If he did not threaten Huang Qianshan, Zheng Zhizhen was a little worried. Huang Qianshan was a person who knew the current affairs and should also know the priorities.
Zheng Zhi said he wanted to kill someone. Regardless of whether Zheng Zhiming had the full force to kill a prefect on his face, Huang Qianshan believed it for no reason. He was really afraid that Prince Zheng would hang his head on the city wall in anger.
A banquet is a good banquet, but for most people, it ends in disagreement.
Zheng Zhi couldn't take much care of it. After the banquet, a list of hundreds of people appeared on the Zheng Zhi case, including Western army men and imperial guards, even the men under Wang Bing were among them.
Zheng Zhi held a brush and circled his names one by one. He wanted to arrange a general after the reorganization. He had just had dozens of people in the tent, but most of them were really unreliable. He could only seize the military power and kept them in the camp. These people were lucky and really escaped.
I temporarily lost my authority but saved my life. It was worth it.
It is not appropriate to be reorganized sooner, which is why Zheng Zhi ordered to do it immediately as soon as he returned to Hejian. The new military general should have a familiar process for his subordinates, and at least he should be able to effectively command.
There is also the problem of training. No matter how you practice, the imperial guards in various prefectures seem to be placing troops on the school ground, but most of them are just slandering, from the chief officials to the soldiers, few of them really work hard. When the chief officials take office this time, they naturally have to practice. At least the queues must be arranged in the front line, and when they hear the order, they will know to go forward and backward, rather than collapse at once.
Early the next morning, countless iron armors were guarding the gate of the military camp.
Those under fifteen or over thirty-five can clean up old and weak soldiers in the army, who are under fifteen years old and over thirty-five years old, can take a small stamped note out of the camp and return home.
These iron armored soldiers were checking the notes in the hands of these people. Many old and weak soldiers lined up, and the iron armored soldiers checked extremely strictly.
By the afternoon and evening, as many as thousands of people had already left the military camp gate.
The sun is about to set, and today's errand is about to end. Suddenly, a northwest accent shouted: "Come on, tie this guy up and send it to the big tent to wait for my husband to leave."
Several iron-armored men pressed one of them on the snow like wolves and tigers, took the ropes from left to right and tied them.
"The little one is wronged. The little one is indeed only thirteen this year. I'm just a little younger. Please let the general let the little one go." The military man who was pressed to the ground kept struggling and shouting.
The iron armor shouted, "Look, you are almost thirty and pretending to be thirteen. Do you think you are blind and fleeing in the battle. Qin Feng will break the knife. If I don't kill you, it will be your luck. I dare to say more and I will cut you with one knife."
The man was so scared that he closed his mouth, stopped talking, and allowed the military man to tie him up, probably still having some reliance on his heart.
Zheng Zhi was at this time beside the big tent stove, and was processing the official documents while roasting the fire. Suddenly, he picked up one of the documents from many official documents. After reading it for a moment, he was furious. The official documents were sent from Shenzhou, south of Hejian Prefecture, and just arrived in the evening. There was only one content, which was that the magistrate of Shenzhou entrusted for the Shenzhou military command and asked Zheng Zhi to put the Shenzhou military command back and wear mourning clothes.
Zheng Zhi stood up and shouted loudly: "Come, call Xia Dezhang, the commander of the Shenzhou military and horses!"
Zheng Zhi tried his best to win the Spring Battle, but some people tried every means to refuse to go into battle. Zheng Zhi was not angry and could endure it.
