Chapter 323

Today's canteen conflict was forcibly suppressed by Hong Chengchou, but the contradiction between the two sides has further escalated and intensified, and there should be no possibility of peace.

Fortunately, this is Fengyang, the capital of China. It is the hometown of the emperor and the focus of people all over the world. If it is elsewhere, maybe at this moment, the two sides have fought and fought for this matter.

Because this is Fengyang, the emperor's hometown, they have some scruples and dare not mess around. Otherwise, with the temper of these military generals, they will plunder and give him a good look.

You should know that these people don't do less and often. If the place doesn't give them food, they will send troops to rob them.

This situation has also exacerbated the contradictions between them. In many places, they were first robbed by the rogue bandits and then robbed by the officers and soldiers. They are miserable. They hate both the rogue bandits and the officers and soldiers.

In other places, such as Zhu Dadian, local officials will, in any case, transfer a sum of grain. Even if they dig from their mouth, they will also dig out a sum of grain price to give them to go away and send them away.

But Zhu Dadian knows that this is Fengyang, the capital of China, the hometown of the emperor. If Hong Chengchou dares to mess around, he must be the one who has an accident, and he will be unlucky. That's why he dares to do things with such confidence and recklessness, which is to completely excite each other and make each other angry. He doesn't care.

He just saw through the other party and didn't dare to mess around, so he dared to be so confident.

After this incident, the antagonism between the two sides became more serious. Hong Chengchou is now facing great pressure, on the one hand, from the imperial court, on the other hand, from the local government, and on the other hand, from his officers and soldiers. However, he still insisted on staying in Fengyang, but he refused to move.

Hong Chengchou commanded his army and stayed here. He resolutely refused to move his nest. Zhu Lu and others had no way. Even if he urged the other party, it was useless for you if the other party didn't bird you. After all, Hong Chengchou was the governor of five provinces. He was bigger than them in terms of official rank. Hong Chengchou didn't bird them, but there was no way to take him.

Moreover, the contradiction between the two sides is even greater. Soldiers fight every day, and officials turn a blind eye to it.

In Liu Bu's words, as long as they don't suffer losses, they will fight. Anyway, the soldiers on both sides fight every day, but there is a little. That is, they are restrained, do not fight in large numbers, do not use weapons to fight, and only conflict when they disagree with each other or cause contradictions.

However, Liu Jiajun's fame this time is even louder. At least they don't drink Soldier Blood and can't make the army ring. This makes the local people and Hong Chengchou's soldiers admire it. Many people are proud to join Liu Jiajun.

For the generous treatment of the Liu family army, the soldiers of Hong Chengchou's army are envious to death. They are envious. But if they want to implement it like this, it's impossible. Their officers won't promise not to drink their blood. What do these officers eat? What would you like to drink?

In fact, Liu Jiajun's welfare was very good, but they did not deviate from the scope stipulated by the imperial court. It was only because other armies were detained by their superiors and officers that their welfare was so poor.

It is impossible for them to want such welfare. Their boss will not agree. Think about the fate of Qi Jiajun in Jizhou in 23 years of Wanli, and you will know what the end is.

It is necessary and proper for the imperial court and the officers and soldiers to withhold their pay. However, if the soldiers dare to clamor for money and make noise, it is illegal. It is called noise and disease. I don't know how many mutinies have been caused by noise in recent years, but basically the soldiers will come to no good end. Even if you get noise, the officers will settle accounts and kill you, Therefore, it has gradually become a default on military pay. Withholding military pay is a common practice, and no one dares to resist.

Although the officers and soldiers strongly suppressed these rebellious Qiu Ba, one thing is that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers has greatly decreased.

Whether Qi Jiguang, a famous general of this dynasty, or Wei Wuzu, a famous general of Wu Qi in the Warring States period, there is a prerequisite for their military training, that is, good welfare conditions. Good welfare conditions are the basis for soldiers to abide by discipline and fight bravely. If these things are gone, there will be no way to talk about combat strength and morale.

This caused Liu Bu to be only thousands of people, but a mixture of good and bad people, while Hong Chengchou had more than a dozen generals and tens of thousands of troops, but they were in a mess.

It seems that more than a dozen generals under Hong Chengchou let them fight rogue bandits alone. If they rush up, they will fight disorderly.

They call this 1 + 1 = 2. And 2 + 2 = 3. In the face of this chaotic situation, Hong Chengchou has no way. He has always been trying to find a place to stop and centralize and train his troops. In fact, many of his troops can still fight. If they can be trained and trained into elite soldiers, they can still fight roving bandits.

The strategy of the world of mortals' victimization is to train a crack force for the following roving bandits. If the training department does not send a crack force, it is very difficult to eliminate the roving bandits

However, neither the imperial court nor the roving bandits gave him time or rest. He only needed a few months to train and assemble these soldiers and train them into an army of tens of thousands of people, so that they could become fist troops to attack the roving bandits.

In the past, Fengyang, the capital of China, was captured by exiles. He had no choice but to take risks and go all out to attack the enemy. Now they finally beat back the enemy. He has won a phased victory. He knows that there are still many problems to be solved. It will not take a day to eliminate them. His most important thing is to train an elite army. As long as there is an elite army in hand, he can give a fatal blow to the enemy. No matter where the enemy escapes, he will follow them like a shadow, Go after them.

In fact, Liu Jiajun's success this time also proves the correctness of his strategy. That is, to deal with the roving bandits, we can't use these garbage troops. Only one elite can train them. Only one elite can help them and defeat the roving bandits. Otherwise, even if they have tens of thousands of people, they will waste their army and food, Nothing else.

The current princes in the court don't care about the quality of your soldiers at all. They only care about the number of your soldiers. They only think that if you have so many quantities, you must do so many things, because after you have so many quantities, he has distributed the food of so many people, and each grain must pay its due significance.

Hong Chengchou was speechless because of such a policy and method of talking on paper. He knew that if he listened to these people's practices, it was estimated that he would repeat Chen Qiyu's mistakes. It was very difficult to know that there was no elite troops in hand to fight against the exiled bandits, because most of them were veterans who had been trained for several years, Being able to survive several years of war must be personal. He has become an elite veteran.

It can be seen from the recent series of battles that elite officers and soldiers are constantly defeated by the rogue bandits, and they also have the ability to attack big cities. This ability has aroused Hong Chengchou's vigilance. He already knows that the rogue bandits have become a great trouble. If they can't take them at one fell swoop, they may eventually bring chaos to Daming.

But whether it was the imperial court or the local government, they were eager for success. In addition to being satisfied with the figures on paper, they simply urged him to send troops and asked him to eliminate the roving bandits as soon as possible in order to save money and food.

In fact, this idea is right, but Hong Chengshou is very opposed to this practice. Hong Chengchou, as a senior official of the imperial court, should also have an overall vision. He knows that it is very difficult for Daming to build slaves outside and tourists inside. It can be said that it is difficult for domestic diplomacy. If one of the enemies can not be solved, If they go all out to deal with another enemy, sooner or later they will be tired of running under the joint attack of the two enemies and finally go to destruction.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this idea. It is the same as his idea. His idea is to first eliminate the roving bandits, and then assemble all the troops to go all out to suppress bandits and build slaves. These people have become a great danger. If they are not exterminated as soon as possible, Daming will be killed.

But Hong Chengchou now has a feeling that it is difficult for a skillful woman to cook without rice. That is, he clearly has more than 100000 troops under his command, but these troops are garbage soldiers. It is OK to fight with the wind. If he fought against the wind and fought a hard battle, he is estimated to be defeated immediately.

And there is another point, that is, Hong Chengchou's main army is actually the army from Guanzhong, that is, the so-called Qin soldiers outside.

However, the main force of the roving bandits is composed of the common people in Guanzhong. When they are desperate, they can only stand up and take risks and rebel. They have traveled all over the country and fought while fleeing, so they are called roving bandits.

As a result, the roving bandits are from Western Shaanxi. They are also responsible for hunting them. In fact, many of them are fellow villagers. They often shout and make friends with each other during the war.

Sometimes when they fight, they are really in a hurry. They still let go. After all, they are all villagers. If they are in Guanzhong, Shaanxi, they will probably beat them to death, but outside, they are villagers. They are their own people. They often fight with an open mind or do not work so hard. In their words, this is a live war.

People live to live, and being a soldier is to eat food. Why fight so hard? Are you in a hurry to die? That is because of this situation, their soldiers' combat effectiveness was very weak, so Hong Chengchou had no choice but to transfer Guan Ning army from outside the pass to participate in the war. Guan tonight's army was led by general Zu Kuan, who watched the family of Jinzhou general Zu dashou. He was appointed a general because of his war achievements. This time, he led 3000 elite soldiers of Guan Ning army to the south to participate in the war.
