: Transfer of troops and generals

The officers and soldiers, who were originally thirsty and tired, looked at the protruding iron cavalry in shock. The soldiers who ran to the shade of trees on both sides were even more afraid of this scene. They wanted to quietly move back to their own square formation, but three thousand iron cavalry surrounded the left and right, and the arrogant spirit made people feel no courage to connect, let alone cross their war horses.

The brows of Qihe Baihu jumped involuntarily: "Is it the sound horse thief attacked? No, if they start siege, there will be no sound here. Even if they are far away, the cannons on the top of the city should be heard. That is........ The new official takes office for three fires, and the Governor-General's Inspector will give a warning?"

People who are cheating are always more sensible than others. The more you think about Qihe Baihu, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are. Turn your head and look at the ignorant soldier next to you. He licked his lips and cursed secretly: "His grandma, if I had known this, I would have been patient for a moment. This time I became someone's target. I am afraid that a whip will not be able to escape, and maybe even more serious, and I will be killed. But after all, I am a Baihu, and maybe I will scold you. Besides... there are sixty or seventy people."

Yang Ling, Commander Luo and others drove back. Yang Ling seemed to have seen dozens of soldiers who violated the military order and left the list privately. Commander Luo also had a dark face, pursed his lips, and curled his lips upwards, showing a face of the King of Hell.

Yang Ling's real bandit suppression plan was secretly met with Luo Shiquan last night and told him. Luo Shiquan was shocked when he heard Yang Ling's plan. He thought that Duke Wei was coming to Dezhou and personally presided over the bandit suppression battle, so he could escape responsibility. He handed over all the magistrates who did not listen to the dispatch to Yang Ling, and he was much more relaxed.

Unexpectedly, Yang Ling did not bring him troops, but asked him to take on more important responsibilities and take such a great responsibility. If the troops gathered in Dezhou could not be united as a rope, such as a force to move their fingers, and said that they would cooperate with Yang Ling's plan, they would be afraid that their heads would be lost.

Luo Shiquan complained secretly, but Yang Ling had the right to command Shandong troops with full authority, so the plan he formulated could only be implemented with all his strength. Therefore, he could only cooperate with Yang Ling's method of "killing people to establish authority, quickly reorganizing the army, and running-in with war". Only in this way can he take the lead in the next plan.

Yang Ling climbed to the general station, looked at the dozens of soldiers under the shade of the trees coldly, and said lightly: "What's going on? This governor was still talking about military law just now, and he was still talking about military orders like a mountain. So someone tried the law with his own body? Who allowed them to leave the team and leave?"

The generals who had their subordinates left the team secretly looked very ugly. They didn't know Yang Ling's plan. They rushed up to the city wall just now, but saw nothing. They thought that the horse thieves had already left. Even so, Yang Ling was very excited and led them to the city. He guided them and drank good tea in the city tower. After talking for a long time, he rushed back.

Originally, he had a very happy conversation with Duke Wei, who was in power. These generals felt that they had left a good impression of being smart and capable in the Duke's heart. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came back, his subordinates gave him a big face. Isn't this obvious that he was not strict in his military administration? These generals were very annoyed and immediately ordered people to bring the soldiers over.

Dozens of trembling soldiers were brought to the front of the stage, and the soldiers standing in the team stretched their necks and looked here. Yang Ling asked coldly with his hands on his back: "I issued a military order before leaving. No one is allowed to leave the team without permission until I come back. Who allows you to go to the shade of the trees to enjoy the cool air?"

Among these people, Qihe Baihu has the highest position, and he took the lead in leaving the team. The soldiers who made the mistake couldn't help but look at him. Seeing Yang Ling's cold eyes looking at him, Qihe Baihu was panicked, and he immediately knelt on the ground with his knees and murmured: "Duke, the general........ The general saw the heat of the weather, and it was just a military parade on the school ground. It was not an important matter. So..."

Yang Ling sneered and said, "There is no trivial matter in the military. You are a hundred households. You actually take the lead in violating the military's order. Are you guilty?"

The hundreds of households in Qihe looked frightened and said respectfully: "Yes, yes, yes, I will be punished by the military law of the Duke of the State." As he said, he glanced at him. There were 70 or 80 people on both sides, and a hint of pride could not help but see a hint of pride in his eyes.

Yang Ling curled the corners of his lips and said calmly: "Very good!"

He glanced at the soldiers and shouted: "Stand according to their respective subordinates, the generals are in front and the soldiers are in the back. The first person who advocates leaving the team will take a step left and take a step away!"

The soldiers were in a panic and arranged in line with their respective troops. The generals and officials with ranks stood in front. First, they suggested that more than half of the people who left the team would be the generals themselves. Looking from the stage, they could see clearly. Yang Ling and his team looked around and saw that there were no generals in the queue, so they sent someone to ask and brought the generals who were not restricted when they left the team to the stage.

Yang Ling's face turned solemn and said coldly: "There is no rule, no square. What is the military saying? Just say that one order is enforced and the rewards and punishments are clearly distinguished. This governor repeatedly emphasized the need to strictly guard the military orders, and ordered the army to explain the 17th article and fifty-four beheadings. But you guys ignored it and regarded the military orders as if nothing was in the face of a great enemy. How can I allow you guys who corrupt military discipline to disrupt our military morale? Come on, the law enforcement team, take them down and execute them on the spot!"

"Ah!" Yang Ling gave the order, except for Luo Shiquan who had already known him, all the soldiers were disgraceful. Seeing that Yang Ling's law enforcement team, which was like a wolf and a tiger, rushed over and arrested dozens of officers and soldiers. While the soldiers were dragged away, they begged for mercy and pleaded loudly, the generals around Yang Ling could not stand.

His own soldiers have the responsibility to maintain their own protection, and most of the soldiers and generals who dare to violate the orders of the Duke of the State and take the opportunity to enjoy the shade are their closest members. If they had not relied on the favor of the master and had always been distracted, how could they dare to violate the orders of the Duke of the State? In other words, these people are the most scattered and corrupted in the military.

Several generals came forward to express their gratitude and beg for mercy for their subordinates. Yang Ling carried his hands on his back, looked forward coldly, and never spoke. The soldiers who violated the order had been pressed to the ground by the law enforcement team and tied up. Only then did everyone realize that Yang Ling was playing the game. The soldiers who had already pretended to be in charge and cooperated with the begging for mercy were really scared. They cried loudly and begged.

Yang Ling's cheeks twitched easily, and he couldn't bear it, but he didn't put up a strong medicine and killed a few soldiers who publicly violated military orders to establish their authority. These tens of thousands of mobs did not know how painful it was. When will these soldiers understand from the bottom of their hearts that "military orders are like mountains" and know how to fear and obey orders?

Liu Liu's army was outside the city and did not attack the city for several days. Instead, they only plundered in nearby prefectures and counties. I think they were also gathering enough food and grass to build siege equipment. Once they found out that they had not brought a large number of reinforcements, they were about to attack the city. Time was too late.

Today, he killed dozens of soldiers who did not obey the orders of the generals and would do his own good. Tomorrow, he could save hundreds and thousands of soldiers' lives on the battlefield, holding butchers' knives in his hands, but he was trying to save people, no matter whether anyone could understand it. He had to keep doing it.

Compared with the border troops with strict laws, the officers and soldiers here have changed a world of change. The border troops have excellent combat power, in addition to being long-standing warfare. Strict military discipline is also an important reason. Even if these mainland guards are strong, they lack the fighting spirit and the will of iron-blooded warriors. They are just a group of buffaloes and cannot become tigers.

Of course, Yang Ling just wanted to establish his authority, not to incite a mutiny when the enemy was in the face of the great enemy, so he still paid attention to the control of this measure. He deliberately took these senior generals away, just to not leave them here to be good people and order their troops to disband and rest. Otherwise, the establishment of authority would not be possible. If he really wanted to kill the generals in the face of battle, it would be a taboo for military strategists.

Now that these senior generals are not on the scene, at most they will be punished for not being strict in the military administration, he can boldly do it. The officers and soldiers who violated military discipline lined up in front of the entire army and were pressed to kneel on the ground by the law enforcement team, and their sharp steel knife was already lit in the air.

The weather is still so hot and the sun is still so poisonous, but every soldier feels cold. Before the White Army broke out in Shandong this time, these soldiers had very little practical experience, and only a few of them participated in the battle to combat the Japanese. However, since the battlefield of the landlords who beat the Japanese this year was not in Shandong, they did not have much chance of playing...

The imperial court initially solved the major tax problem, but over the past hundred years, all the tiger and wolf soldiers were raised into farmers, and the land of the peasants was stripped of all by the powerful generals. They wanted to have no force and no morale, and to have a group of people with no morale in the army. How strong can they be expected to have?

Military discipline is strict and orders are prohibited. They have heard too many words of violating orders, but they rarely take them to heart. Now they really see what the consequences of violating military discipline are. It is not only if they are deserters on the battlefield that they will be beheaded. Until now, they find from the bottom of their hearts that they are a soldier, and military orders are like a mountain!

Seeing the steel knife raised, the law enforcement team was about to behead their heads, dozens of soldiers who were scattered in their hearts screamed at the top of their lungs. The commander of the Dezhou Guard Luo Shiquan suddenly shouted: "Let's just move the punishment!"

He turned around suddenly, walked quickly to Yang Ling, and knelt down straight. Yang Ling looked surprised: "Why did Commander Luo give this great gift? Please get up quickly."

Luo Shiquan pressed his hands on the ground and said loudly: "Duke, the military orders are as high as a mountain. Violating military discipline should be severely punished. But please ask the Duke to think that they are just the first offender, please allow them to serve in front of the army and pay off their crimes with merits. As the commander of the Dezhou Guard and the generals of all military forces, Luo Shiquan is not strict in his military management. It is hard to refuse to be punished by military law. The Duke of the State is willing to be punished by military law. Please spare their death sentence!"

Yang Ling said coldly: "There are people who openly violate military discipline in the schoolyard. The crime of your lack of strict governance of the army will be investigated. However, the rewards and punishments must be clearly distinguished, so how can I accept the punishment on behalf of others? General Luo stands aside and does not hinder the supervision from implementing military laws."

Luo Shiquan was wearing armor and was unable to perform the full tribute, but he still tried his best to kneel down and kowtowed heavily, "Please openly your kindness and forgive them for their death sentence!"

When the other generals saw this, they hurriedly attached themselves to Luo's command, and knelt down and begged for mercy. Tens of thousands of soldiers from the audience also knelt down and begged for mercy. Seeing this, Yang Ling couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. Then he said in a deep voice: "The law is not merciless, but since the whole army is asking for mercy on behalf of others, I will open my mouth today and express kindness to the law outside the law."

When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Then Yang Ling raised his voice and said sternly: "The first person to leave the team will be killed! The one who follows the team will be killed! The soldiers who are drifting with the flow will be punished by one hundred military sticks. If the soldiers leave the team and the generals have not stopped, they will be punished by one hundred military sticks! Immediately sentenced!"

Everyone was happy just now. When they heard this, they were stunned. The Duke of the State has such a powerful military law. Such military law is still a blessing from outside the law. For the sake of the pleading of the soldiers of the entire army, everyone was shocked. The law enforcement team had already classified the sergeant and the law enforcement team was immediately dealt with by law enforcement.

More than 20 generals and soldiers who took the lead in leaving the team didn't have time to shout for help anymore. The law enforcement team's sharp steel knife passed by like lightning, and blood splattered. Seeing the skulls of teammates rolling across the ground, the thrilling feeling was unforgettable for a lifetime.

Then the other soldiers who were spared from death were pressed to the ground, with water and fire sticks rising one after another, and a hundred killing sticks were gone. Even if they were strong, they would lose half their lives.

The other side was executing the punishment. Yang Ling stood on the stage and said, "The commander of the Dezhou Guard beside Luo Shiquan. He was ordered by the court to control all the reinforcements from all walks of life. The military discipline was not strict, and the military discipline was dispersed. He was responsible for twenty military sticks. He pulled them down and beat them!"

The three monks were trying to take water and eat, and who had more effort, let alone killing people and hurting people when fighting? The soldiers and horses of all walks of life were intrigues, and you looked at me. I stared at you. Whether it was treatment, baggage, or assignment of tasks in the battle, they were all scrupulous. In order to balance all aspects of relationship, Luo Shiquan spent much more energy than was used to command operations.

Even so, all parties were still not satisfied. Today he actually stood up. He took over the generals and saved the lives of dozens of soldiers, which deeply moved the generals and soldiers of all walks of life. It was very subtle. In terms of emotion, they had already regarded Commander Luo as their own person and felt a very intimate trust.

Yang Ling ignored everyone and pleaded for Luo's command, and forced the soldiers to beat Luo Shiquan. At this time, the execution of the offensive was completed. The dead body was lying on the ground. Occasionally there was blood flowing out of his neck, attracting a group of flies. The soldiers who were beaten by the stick were lying on the ground. His face was pale, but he grabbed dry soil with both hands and gritted his teeth, and did not dare to make a moan.

After Commander Luo was sentenced to death, he was snatched by two generals and carried him back to the group of generals, Yang Ling said loudly: "Everyone is equal in front of military law! All generals and soldiers must abide by them together. If someone violates military law, I will never let it go."

He walked to the front of the stage with his hands behind his back and said, "Now, two bandits Liu and Liu Qi gathered 30,000 troops to attack Dezhou. Their land has fewer troops than us, but they are rebelling and failing to rebel will be destined to die. They are desperate and become extremely fierce and brave when they face the enemy.

Our army is far from that. If we have all the troops who have put together their own selfishness and do not obey the orders, facing such a group of desperadoes, even if they are large, they are not their opponents. Therefore, we must not only step up preparations for war and practice martial arts, but also military orders must not be followed!"

Yang Ling said this, his tone slowed down and said, "The soldiers who were sent out to enjoy the cool air, but the soldiers who had not followed him were given a month of military salary to encourage him. In addition, this governor now announced that the gains of the robbery and the white-clothed army were all unowned dirt. Anyone who killed the thief on the battlefield would not hand over the property they obtained, and could be classified as existing. However, usually, the roaming bravely and wandered in the countryside, even if they blackmailed the people's wine and food, steal the people's chickens and ducks, once they were discovered, they would be severely punished! Did you hear it?"

The entire army was shocked. First, someone replied indiscriminately: "Heard, obey the order." Then, under the constraints of the messenger, the entire army responded in unison like thunder: "Abide by the general's order!"

In the main hall of the martial arts hall, it turned out that the racks were merging with weapons and had been evacuated. A few rows of tables and chairs were arranged. Qiao Sihai and other generals stationed outside handed over the defense to their deputy. After making proper arrangements, they rushed back. However, he didn't have time to talk to Yang Ling, the old boss, and was led into the seat.

The generals were gathered together, and Yang Ling sat down after the commander's case and talked to these senior generals: "The horse thieves are strong, and the white-clothed army is strong, but the bandits are bandits after all, and they do not give them the opportunity to establish a stable stronghold. Their demise is only a matter of time.

If you want to compete for the Central Plains and win the world, you will not be favored by the people. Without long-term preparation, years of business accumulation, stable foundation, no support from aristocratic families, and no contribution from Confucian scholars and literati, it is simply a joke. Why do they rush to attack Dezhou, Tai'an, and Jinan? In order to cut off the arteries of the north and south canals, turn Shandong into their base, and use time to build all this. So we must never let them achieve their goals.

The horse thieves are in the limelight now, but their weaknesses are emerging. It is easy for them to raise troops, even gather soldiers, and war horses. The nearby prefectures are all raised by the imperial court, and the people in the north are also martial, breaking through prefectures and counties, plundering government gentry, and their property is within their reach. The people are so impoverished that they have to follow the thieves in order to survive. Therefore, it is easy to recruit soldiers.

However, their land uses war to support war, completely abandons construction and has no base to plunder. As their army grows stronger and stronger, the plunder becomes more and more serious, and the places are destroyed by them. The counties and towns that can be captured have no oil and water to reap. Whether they raise people or horses, they will have problems.

Therefore, whether it can occupy Shandong is not the gains and losses of a temporary place, but whether these bandits can survive and whether they can become an important issue for our great troubles in the Ming Dynasty. The entire Shandong region must go through a process of defense, stalemate, and counterattack. The length of this process depends on how our generals in Shandong will achieve victory on the battlefield in detail and slightest.

For the Texas defenders, your mission is to block the horses of Bazhou and ensure that Dezhou is safe and secure. The military integration and military training have no one left us enough time, and we must gradually achieve it in battle.

All the generals stood up respectfully and bowed to him.

After Yang Ling returned to the case of the commander, according to the case, "This governor has made some adjustments to the defenders in various places. You can immediately hand over the defense after you go back. You must complete the garrison and defense replacement task before sunset today."

The generals said yes, but for the time being, they didn't know what adjustments Yang Ling would make to the defense of this place.

Yang Ling said: "General Qiao Sihai and General Qiao Shancheng and the original garrison of Twelve Liancheng returned to Dezhou City, and General Huo of Baoding Army led his troops to move to defend Twelve Liancheng."

The two generals stepped out of the line and handed over to receive the order.

Yang Ling also said: "Constructor Ji from the left guard of Dezhou returned from Anling Gucheng to defend Dezhou. General Zheng from Tianjin led his troops to replace the defense of Sangyuankou."

The two generals were not ready to think about it, so they hurriedly left the list to receive the order.

Yang Ling also said: "Dashuiyi, Dianguanyi and others store the millet river warehouse. Immediately transport all the grain and grass to Dezhou City. Dezhou delegation trained the people and the remaining counties to escape to Dezhou to take charge of this military order. After completion, this supervisory committee re-arranged the more than 10,000 people and asked them to reinforce Sangyuankou, Twelve Liancheng and Dezhou Wharf respectively."

After the arrangements were completed one by one, Yang Ling stood up and said murderously: "The method of using troops is to surround them ten times, attack them five times, fight them twice, and escape them at least. Now we are going the opposite way. Our soldiers are many powerful but trapped in the city, and the horse thieves are only half as strong as our army but they intend to attack the city. If this happens, Dezhou City will still be lost, what else can we say? We can only pick one head, thank the emperor, and thank the people!"

The generals were frightened, Yang Ling's voice was loud and echoed alone in the martial arts hall: "The morale of the military is of vital importance. The military strategy says: "The army's well is not absorbed, the general will not say thirst; the army's food is not cooked, and the general will not say hunger!" After the defense replacement, all the generals will move to the city, eat and live with the soldiers, and share the joys and sorrows."

He glanced at him and said, "Our soldiers, their bodies are not worse than those of the thieves. They are just a ruthlessness and a bloody spirit! This governor uses military laws to make them afraid and wealth to make them brave. All generals should make them unite with their loyalty. If the soldiers are united and united, they will be no problem!"
Chapter completed!
