Chapter 051 Discipline is the lifeblood of the army
After leaving the fort gate, everyone felt a little abnormal, as if their mood was completely different from before. In the past, when leaving the fort gate, they always had to beware of the arrival of the Tartars, and their eyes were always staring at themselves unconsciously, for fear that the Tartars would arrive. Now, this feeling cannot be said to be completely gone, but it has dissipated a lot. With Xu Xingxia here, you should not think of going back when the Tartars come.
If you ride a horse from Weizhen Fort to Niujiao Dun, if you are a Pegasus galloping, it only takes a while. The two places are only twenty miles apart. How far can they be? The speed of a war horse galloping on the plain can reach about sixty miles per hour (about thirty kilometers). The distance of twenty miles is only twenty minutes.
Of course, there is no need for Xu Xingxia and the others to run so fast, and this is not a fight with the enemy. If the horses run fast, it may cause misunderstandings from others, thinking that Tartars are coming again. After walking five or six miles, the group suddenly saw someone riding a horse waiting on the roadside. Xu Xingxia looked from a distance and found that it was the one who was scrupulous to Yu Lijun.
"Yu Lijun?"
Xu Xingxia never thought that Yu Lijun would actually be here.
Logically speaking, Yu Lijun is the governor of the people, and his responsibilities are to manage the discipline of the army and the military households, and to register military merits at the same time. He should not have appeared here. Could it be that he is here to catch Niujiaodun's discipline? If so, why didn't he receive the notice? Thinking of the intrigue from the upper class, Xu Xingxia immediately became alert.
Gao Meng, Zhang Quanfu and others found that Yu Lijun appeared and rushed to be serious. They also knew that Yu Lijun's main job was to grasp the discipline of the army, and they did not want to be in Yu Lijun's hands. How could Yu Lijun say that, he was a little treacherous and rigid, and if it fell into his hands, the situation would not be very good.
"Master General Banner, my subordinate Yu Lijun comes to report."
Yu Lijun bowed and said expressionlessly on the horse's back.
"you……"
Xu Xingxia felt very surprised.
Yu Lijun came to report to him. What's going on?
He was really assigned to Niujiaodun? Who assigned him to come? Why didn't he notify himself? A series of questions emerged in Xu Xingxia's mind. It's no wonder that Xu Xingxia is so sensitive. After all, he came through time in later generations and subconsciously thought of conspiracy theories. Especially in this turbulent era, it is absolutely not an exaggeration to be careful.
The official position of the tutelage is just between the hundred households and the general flag. In terms of rank, Yu Lijun and Xu Xingxia do have superiors and subordinates. However, generally speaking, the tutelage rarely directly manages the tutelage. Because the official position of the tutelage is usually arranged in the tutelage or guard, which is somewhat similar to the office director of later generations.
Due to the special management responsibilities, the tutor will hardly appear on the front line alone. Normally, the tutor should appear with Qianhu or the commander of the guard. As the commander of Niujiaodun, he actually has no big connection with the tutor. Why did Yu Lijun report to him? Has there any conspiracy or was sent to him?
"The Lord Baihu, his subordinates are also stationed in Niujiaodun."
Seeing Xu Xingxia a little confused, Yu Lijun reluctantly explained.
His personality is originally quite dull and taciturn. He will only relieve his military achievements a little when he reads his military achievements. If he only sees his military achievements, he would never have thought that Yu Lijun would be a dull man. In fact, most of the military households in Weizhen Fort knew that their custody was a cold bread man, which was relatively alternative.
Xu Xingxia felt that his brain was a little too insufficient. He was a little suspicious that Yu Lijun was arranged by his superiors to monitor him. It might even be to investigate the cause of Liu Jinbiao's death. After all, there were many people who knew how Liu Jinbiao died. As long as someone leaked it and the superiors wanted to investigate, they would arrange for Yu Lijun to start.
Of course, the latter is unlikely. Because no one will be foolish enough to break up the scandal inside the guard station at this time. The guard station army just recovered a point in the battle against the war soldiers. Deng Rubai and Peng Feng were both proud and would not investigate the matter. Xu Xingxia is absolutely sure of this. Then, Yu Lijun's arrival can only be said to be exiled. It seems that he is not very popular and was taken to Niujiaodun.
Yu Lijun was confused when he saw Xu Xingxia, and looked a little helpless and a little depressed. He understood that his identity was sensitive, which made Xu Xingxia misunderstand. He was unwilling to let Xu Xingxia misunderstand, as it would be very unfavorable for his future. After thinking about it, Yu Lijun whispered: "Master Baihu, my subordinate accidentally offended Deputy Qianhu Zhang..."
Xu Xingxia then suddenly realized and looked at Yu Lijun deeply. Yu Lijun, although he was taciturn, had a very smart vision. He could not match him well with the upper class of the garrison. Otherwise, he would not have said such words. From this, it was inferred that Yu Lijun was indeed sent to Niujiaodun.
In the past, Xu Xingxia never ignored the struggles of the senior officials of the garrison, and he was not qualified to do so. But now he is different. Now he is already a hundred households and can be regarded as a middle-level officer of the garrison. He is already in this vortex, so he cannot ignore it. He doesn't want to provoke others on his own initiative and set more resistance for himself. However, if others provoke him, he will definitely not give him good fruit.
If you want to do this, it is very necessary to understand the opponent's background. Only by being clear about the other party's background, the other party's strength, and the other party's popularity can you correctly judge who should deal with it and when to deal with it. Otherwise, it will not be beneficial to you if you just do it all by yourself.
In the final analysis, if he is still within the system, he must follow certain rules within the system. Occasionally, it is not a big problem to violate these rules. However, if he always violates the rules, he is afraid that no superior can bear it, even if he is the superior who appreciates his most. Of course, if he has enough strength to be a rebel, that would be another matter. At that time, he can break all the rules, do whatever he wants, and do whatever he wants. But for the time being, he has no idea of rebellion.
The internal struggles of the Ming Dynasty were notorious. The conflicts between the emperor and ministers and the conflicts between ministers were simply intensified. To talk about the degree of party struggles, it is estimated that only the Tang Dynasty can compare. Party struggles at the upper level inevitably affect the grassroots below. Due to certain subjective and objective reasons, the struggles at the grassroots below are more complicated and direct than the upper level. It is almost normal to roll up your sleeves at any time.
Take the small Weizhen Fort for example, the struggle is also very fierce. Weizhen Fort has a deputy thousand households, three hundred households, namely Wang Shoulu, Luo Dingyuan, and Han Xianchu. The deputy thousand households are not around for a long time, so the three hundred households naturally have to fight each other and strive to be the boss. Among these three hundred households, Wang Shoulu is the most favored, Luo Dingyuan is the most unlucky, and Han Xianchu is playing soy sauce. Weizhen Fort is still like this, let alone Pinglu City. Pinglu City is also stationed in warriors, and the struggle is even more complicated.
Xu Xingxia still learned about the conflict between Yu Lijun and Zhang Qiuqing from his father. Zhang Qiuqing and Yu Lijun, the deputy Qianhu family, were very unfavorable, which was almost open to Qianhu. It is said that the most fundamental reason was that Zhang Qiuqing fell in love with a certain sister of Yu Lijun and wanted to marry him as a concubine. Yu Lijun disagreed, and the two sides started a fight. From then on, as long as there was a chance, Zhang Qiuqing would wear Yu Lijun's shoes.
Xu Xingxia inferred that after Chen Hai was also promoted to slaughter, there were two slaughtering offices in Pinglu Qianhu, which would inevitably lead to conflicts in responsibilities and power. One is certain. Chen Hai is good at flattering, so of course he stayed in the slaughter. Yu Lijun, who is not good at flattering and has a grudge against Zhang Qiuqing, was naturally sent out.
After thinking this clearly, Xu Xingxia nodded and said slowly: "Since that's the case, on behalf of Niujiaodun, I welcome Yu Zhenfu's arrival."
Yu Lijun smiled bitterly and said nothing.
Xu Xingxia said sincerely: "From the future, I will ask Yu Zhenfu to comfort Niujiaodun's discipline."
He was not polite and perfunctory to Yu Lijun. In fact, Xu Xingxia really hoped that Yu Lijun had the ability to help him arrest Niujiaodun's discipline. Although he had never led troops and had not systematically learned military knowledge, he also knew deeply that an army without discipline could not win a battle. Discipline is the lifeblood of the army. Especially in a dangerous environment like the late Ming Dynasty, in the chaotic area of Ningxia Town, there was no disciplined army, and it was useless to say anything.
Last night, Xu Xingxia carefully considered the three major disciplines and eight items for a long time to measure whether they could be put on his own. After measuring for a long time, he still felt that it was not appropriate. The main reason was that the two were in different environments and the military conditions were also different. All actions were subject to command, of course. However, such as not being allowed to beat people, not being able to search for their pockets, and not being abused by prisoners, etc., there was no market at all in this era.
Not to mention the cruelty of the Tatars in the Later Jin Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty could not stand the cruelty of the Tatars. Everyone hated the Tatars. It was absolutely impossible not to beat the Tatars or abuse the captives of the Tatars. It was even more impossible not to search the Tatars' pockets. Things on the Tatars are always valuable.
