Three hundred and eighty-seven simple soldiers
The news that Xiao Ruxun was named Zhennanhou, and the news that Shizhen Myanmar soon spread among the small countries in Southeast Asia and the Ming army in Myanmar. The small countries each had their own ideas, so let's not say it for now. It only shows that the ideas of the various armies in the army are quite complicated.
Xiao Ruxun's position in the local armies of the Ming Dynasty was very special.
Since the 20th year of Wanli, Xiao Ruxun has emerged from the local military family of Ningxia. After quelling the rebellion of Ningxia, Xiao Ruxun basically became the leader of the army in Ningxia Town and once served as the general of Ningxia. However, he was soon transferred to the Korean battlefield and fought bloody battles with the Japanese pirates who had raged to the southeast of the Ming Dynasty for several months, smashing Japan into pieces, destroying their 200,000 troops, and making unparalleled military achievements.
Then, without a long rest, he was transferred to the battlefield of Myanmar and destroyed the disgusting country that had been harassing the southern border of the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years, and restored the Ming Dynasty's reputation in the South China Sea to the era when Zheng He voyages to the West. Not only did he expand his territory, but he also greatly increased the face of the Ming Dynasty, which made the Ming Dynasty show its prestige. More than 20 small countries re-paid tribute and joined the Ming Dynasty's tribute system again.
These are all bright achievements and achievements. If these are representatives of prestige, then the cooperation between Xiao Ruxun and the various troops is a real relationship.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, where there are officials, there are battles, and where there are soldiers, there are mountains. This is a truth that will never be changed.
As a military general from a military family born in the northwest, Xiao Ruxun was of course a border general belonging to the Ningxia Town faction. To expand a little, he belonged to the Northern Army and the Nine-Border System. The troops not from the Nine-Border System belonged to different hills and different factions.
In the Ming army with many factions, it is very difficult to get along with others. Of course, it is not impossible to do it. However, if you do not have a strong connection and strength bonus, it is a delusion. For Xiao Ruxun, this is a delusion from the beginning.
When he was the first time he commanded the wars in various places, he was only twenty-three years old. He had only the military achievements of suppressing the Ningxia rebellion. He had a halo of using gunpowder to overturn the Ningxia city walls. In the army, Xiao Ruxun was called the Gunpowder General. In private, there were also people who jokingly called Xiao Ruxun a gunpowder madman, who could not survive without gunpowder.
In addition, Xiao Ruxun is a young boy with a bad eyebrow on his mouth. Who would have the Southern Army in Datong Xuanfu, Shandong, and Shandong? I thought that this was an unsuccessful task, but who would have thought that Xiao Ruxun had established his prestige in three months before the war, solved the problems for Wu Weizhong, gathered the morale of the Southern Army, beat Li Rusong, and intimidated the rest of the army.
In the first battle, Pyongyang eliminated tens of thousands of Japanese pirates and initially established his prestige. In the second battle, the canyon did not use gunpowder and cold weapons, tens of thousands of heads were achieved with many results. In three battles, Kaicheng and Seoul were fought in Seoul. In one month, the results of the previous Japanese pirates for more than half a year were abolished. Seventy or eighty thousand heads were piled into mountains, establishing Xiao Ruxun's prestige extremely hard.
Of course, in addition to prestige, Xiao Ruxun's reputation has also been recognized by various armies.
It is easy for a mighty general to get the fear of soldiers. Just kill more people, but it is difficult to get the respect of soldiers. Especially for generals from different places who want to get the respect of soldiers in other places, it is even more difficult. For example, Xiao Ruxun, who was born in Ningxia, wants to get the respect of Shandong spearmen. What do you think? Apart from thousands of miles apart, if you don’t know me, I don’t know you, why should I respect you?
Xiao Ruxun could do it, not be biased or deliberately favored by any unit, giving each unit the same combat opportunities, and basically divided the results of the battle, and tried to achieve equality. When his headquarters achieved too much results, he was willing to leave the headquarters and take the army of other factions to earn military merits. How rare is such a commander?
Not to mention anything else, even if you don’t consider other things, it is best to just talk about the familiarity and cooperation between each other. There is no telephone or telegram in the battlefield, but it depends entirely on the general’s personal prestige and the command of the drums of war. If a soldier is familiar with the general, the soldiers will know how to do it when the general’s drum sounds. The cooperation between them is very tacit, and it is as reliable as the general’s arms.
This is the reason why the direct troops are more effective than the side troops in an objective sense.
However, Xiao Ruxun was not the same as he could lead the direct troops to win battles, and he could lead the side troops to win battles. The military discipline of the direct troops was also very strong. He did not allow the direct troops to provoke other troops. Although he knew that this would give the direct troops a bad impression, he still did this and tried to maintain the balance between the various troops. If an irreconcilable incident occurred, he would go out to fight. After a victory, all the contradictions would be calmed.
After getting military achievements and rewards, he only took what he should have, and all the others were distributed to his subordinates. He also specially gave the big head to his subordinates, trying his best to take care of every scholar who made meritorious service and, more importantly, he knew how to care about others and could take into account the actual situation. For example, the Southern Army was not used to the severe cold climate of North Korea. The winter clothes were too thin, and the Southern Army could not bear the severe cold. Xiao Ruxun did not laugh at the Southern Army and directly sent double winter clothes to the Southern Army to keep the cold, so he was collectively supported by the Southern Army.
The Northern Bing and the Southern Bing were not used to each other's staple food, so Xiao Ruxun tried to make food for local troops in his hometown during festivals. Regardless of whether it was authentic or not, having this heart was the only one among the generals of the Ming Dynasty. Making big cakes for the Northern Bing and making noodle soup for the Southern Bing. Not to mention how it was done, this heart alone was felt by most soldiers who defeated them.
The soldiers can feel that in this situation where you care about the troops from the bottom of your heart, a mighty and righteous general is the most popular. If you care about the soldiers, the soldiers are willing to fight for you. The soldiers have no sense of family and country, no big reason, and there is no political and ideological education now. Why do they fight? Basically, they fight for life. Life is the first priority, so there are many deserters and weak combat power. However, under Xiao Ruxun's hands, these soldiers are willing to fight to the death and are willing to fight for Xiao Ruxun.
What kind of noble feelings do you think are? No! It is because Xiao Ruxun gave these soldiers kindness, which made them feel that they were favored and taken care of. They were grateful and trusted by Xiao Ruxun, so they were willing to fight for Xiao Ruxun. How could there be so many noble feelings? How could there be so many righteousness? Do you expect soldiers who don’t know a word to understand the national and national justice?
Otherwise, why would the emperor always be so afraid of generals?
It’s very simple. When a prestigious general climbs the high school, the big-headed soldiers really dare to launch a counterattack against the emperor. They are willing to sacrifice themselves and can pull the emperor off. This is definitely not a joke! Without political and ideological education, soldiers are very likely to become private soldiers of prestigious generals. No matter who the soldiers are the emperor, they will still be afraid at the beginning of the founding of the country. After a long time of peace, who cares whether you are the emperor? I don’t live a good life, so I will attack you!
This situation was particularly prominent before the Song Dynasty. Even after the Song Dynasty, the army was so strong that it was the essence. No matter how much you suppress it, the army was still fierce in the troubled times, and it was still the foundation of the regime. Therefore, whether it was Wang Xijue, Zhang Wei, Zhao Zhigao or Shi Xing, it would never accept that the 30,000-match heroic soldiers completely became Xiao Ruxun's private soldiers.
If these 30,000 soldiers were used well, with Xiao Ruxun's prestige, they would immediately scream and follow him to the north to conquer the city and territory. No one knew better than the civil servants how weak the garrisons in Jiangnan were. No one was not worried about whether Xiao Ruxun's prestige among the southern soldiers could call on the southern soldiers to turn against each other, and then instantly took down the entire Jiangnan, confronted the imperial court, and then sent troops to the north and the north to the north and the north.
The reason is nothing else, the army is so violent and simple.
Therefore, when the soldiers learned that Xiao Ruxun was left in Myanmar and were not allowed to return to the Central Plains, and they were about to leave Xiao Ruxun and return to the Central Plains, they had a very serious rebellious mentality and were very unhappy about the treatment that Xiao Ruxun encountered almost the same as exile. The main generals, the children of the Ruma family, Deng Zilong and Liu Jing, stood up for Xiao Ruxun and wrote a letter to Xiao Ruxun to seek justice from the court. In Xiao Ruxun's Ningxia headquarters, there were even a large number of young and strong officers supporting Xiao Ruxun to rebel and separatist, and competing with the court.
Xiao Ruxun was amused and cried, and comforted these soldiers and officers kindly, saying that this was his expectation and what he asked for, and had nothing to do with the court. He wanted to stay here to guard the border for the court and give the people of the Ming Dynasty a safe and peaceful environment. This is his philosophy. I hope everyone can fulfill it. Please do not write a letter to the court, otherwise not only will his situation be more difficult, but the generals who write to the court will also encounter unfair treatment.
Because the court would think that Xiao Ruxun would win people's hearts and form cliques for personal gain in the army, that would be unbeautiful.
After the generals realized the seriousness of the problem, they all stopped aggrievedly, but although they stopped aggrievedly, Xiao Ruxun still clearly saw the aggrievance and dissatisfaction in their hearts, especially Liu Jing and Deng Zilong, who had almost developed hatred towards those civil servants.
To this end, Xiao Ruxun specially invited these two generals who had great prestige in the Southern Army system to have a meal, explained some truths to them, told them to be low-key and do things, and never go against the court's intentions, etc. Although they were frustrated, they were safe. The two generals agreed with frustration and said that what Xiao Ruxun needs in the future, one in Guangdong and the other in Sichuan, and these two local snakes would definitely give Xiao Ruxun enough help.
They left Myanmar reluctantly with Sichuan soldiers and Guangdong soldiers.
The generals of the southern army were mostly reluctant to leave Xiao Ruxun. They were born in the Nan army, who was born in Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou's system, and had never been in the same pot as the northern general. Only Xiao Ruxun was very happy with them. After leaving, I don't know which fucking general he would be assigned to do some fucking things. They were very unhappy and were reluctant to leave Xiao Dashu's command, and even missed Xiao's chili and big noodles.
Xiao Ruxun comforted them with kind words, told them to do things honestly, be low-key, not to disobey Shangguan, and not to contradict the general. Not everyone can laugh at him like him, Xiao, and be careful of being worn with small shoes.
The southern soldiers reluctantly bid farewell to the commander they identified with.
The wolf soldiers recommended their heads to Xiao Ruxun's tent to say goodbye to Xiao Ruxun, saying that they would cooperate with so many Han generals to fight, only Xiao Ruxun really treats them as their own people, and others treat them as barbarians, and they will not say anything else. The rough people can illiterate and cannot speak. If General Xiao can still use us in the future, if we can continue to fight together, we will definitely go through fire and water for General Xiao. Not to mention fighting Japanese pirates and attacking Myanmar barbarians, even if we rebel, we will hang our heads on our belts and walk with General Xiao!
Xiao Ruxun sent the honest wolf soldiers onto the ship with laughter and cry, watching them leave - these were the soldiers of the Zhuang and Miao people, who did not understand the principles of the Han people, the writing and language of the Han people, and the rules of the Han people, but they knew loyalty and righteousness and repayment of kindness. Whoever treats them will be heart-wrenching toward whoever is good to them, and it can be said that they are very dissatisfied with most Ming Jiangs.
Finally, there were more than 20 boys from the Ma family, whom Magui entrusted to him by the young men. Xiao Ruxun asked them if they were going to follow the fleet back to Magui's side, and they shook their heads one by one.
"Uncle has entrusted us to the Grand Marshal. Grand Marshal is our heaven. Grand Marshal asks us to go east, we will never go west, Grand Marshal asks us to go south, we will never go north, and we will not go back in the future. Grand Marshal is in Myanmar, so we will follow Grand Marshal in Myanmar. No matter where we go, we will go up to the mountain of swords and sea of fire, and frown, and we will not be named Ma!"
Ma Hu said so.
These iron-clad men are really touched by Xiao Ruxun. What is **********? All those who are unfaithful are scholars. Xiao Ruxun has deeply understood it.
Of course, nothing is absolute. Yuan Huang, the elite among scholars, gave up his official position in the court and became Xiao Ruxun's only literati aide. He stayed in the poor and deserted land of Myanmar. He also wrote to his family in his hometown in Wujiang County, and asked his family to come south to Myanmar. He gave up his home in Wujiang County. He settled in Myanmar from then on. He also wrote to a group of students and friends in Zhejiang, inviting them to come to Myanmar to help Xiao Ruxun build Myanmar. Although I don't know if anyone is willing to come, Yuan Huang has done everything he can.
Xiao Ruxun was extremely moved by this and urged Yuan Huang not to do this. He would still leave his hometown at the age of 60, which really made him feel sorry for him.
Yuan Huang laughed and said that his ancestors were forced to leave their hometowns and come to Wujiang County because of the Jingnan Campaign. Wujiang was not his hometown, so it doesn't matter if he left. Although Myanmar was poor and it was obvious to Yuan Huang that Xiao Ruxun could definitely develop Myanmar into a prosperous paradise on earth.
