Chapter three hundred and eighteen swinging jade pendant
A few years ago, he broke free from the cage of officialdom, but now Zhang Ning found that he was trapped in another cage. One day, he wanted to go out to see the military and civilian situation, but he was dissuaded by many civil and military officials. He finally got out, but he had
A large number of guards followed him, and at most they could only go to the city gate, and the troubles caused by going out would be more. The people of the Zhuque Army Group valued his safety too much. After the battle in Yuanshui, Zhang Ning's prestige increased rapidly, and at the same time,
He alone also affects the vital interests of countless people, and people no longer regard him as a human being.
He stood at the water gate of the north city and looked at the scenery, but saw that there were five steps up and down the city tower, and the guards were very tight. He was wondering: Why do everyone value a person's life so much, and not to mention the emotions of sharing joys and sorrows, maybe it was mainly for this group
The existence of the existence of the system; if one dies, the organization formed will face turmoil or collapse. A kind of power comes from the organization and order, otherwise no matter how many people are, they will not be able to do great things. Just like the encirclement and suppression of the Huguang official army not long ago, in fact, the Ming Dynasty
Huguang alone has a population of tens of millions, and there are millions of men. The war potential of a single province is huge, but they have no choice but to use the Suzaku Army because they cannot form an organization of the war potential.
After several days of debate in the Senate and Zhang Ning's thinking, he probably made a decision on handling the prisoners of war in the official army. The soldiers who lost their establishment seemed terrifying, perhaps not as good as they imagined.
Zhu Heng happened to be with him, so Zhang Ning looked at the river flowing to Dongting Lake and asked in a casual tone: "Does Zhu Butang think that the people of Changde Prefecture and Huguang support us?"
"I think in the hearts of the people, we are no different from the court government. It may be the thoughts of ordinary people... Maybe it is even worse. Many people cannot agree with our justice and scold us behind the scenes." Zhu Heng said without thinking.
Zhang Ning nodded with satisfaction and said, even though he was in a terrible position, he was not the emperor. The officials below could basically tell the truth. It was still a little too early to praise him. He deliberately said: "An old saying that wins the hearts of the people will win the world, we seem to
Not popular."
Zhu Heng really shook his head and said, "Lord, it is a good lesson to know that water can carry boats and cover boats. However, there is a way out here. We have not even left a way to live. No one can organize a village in this place.
The people resist. There are a few people who are dissatisfied, but what can I do if I have a pile of sand?”
After hearing this, Zhang Ning said, "Then Zhubutang said that those military households of the government army were working hard for us for the court. As long as the army was reorganized and the generals were using our people, the soldiers could only obey the generals... If so
Someone can call on most soldiers to change. That person is definitely not a simple person, and he will be a hero wherever he is placed. A large number of officials and soldiers are not organized, and wēixié is very low."
"The lord's intention is to recruit a large number of new troops from the prisoners of the official army?" Zhu Heng became serious.
Zhang Ning said: "We have too few soldiers. We can first recruit some people who voluntarily surrender. Others will be detained for the time being. After taking over Wuchang, Jingzhou and other places, they will be released."
Zhu Heng frowned and said, "It is extremely difficult for soldiers without military power to accomplish anything, but it always makes people feel dangerous and have to prevent it."
Zhang Ning walked a few steps, then took off a jade pendant from his clothes, grabbed one end of the silk thread, and treated the jade pendant as a temporary simple pendulum. He pulled the jade pendant with his other hand and said to Zhu Heng calmly: "Let's come on."
Just do a little play, the height of the jade pendant is at the edge of the wall. I let it swing now, and it will never hit the wall."
Zhu Heng thought for a while and nodded, "My lord, please give it a try, it's true to see it."
Zhang Ning let go of the jade pendant and let it sway. Sure enough, the swing became smaller and smaller, and he never hit the wall with more than the starting height. This happened several times without exception.
Zhu Heng twisted his chin and smiled, and looked at what Zhang Ning sold in his gourd without question. Zhang Ning smiled gently and said, "I used this jade pendant as an analogy because there is no other experiment at the moment."
Conditions. Let's imagine: a person standing on this city wall, and the jade pendant was replaced with an iron ball full of blades, swaying like this. Does the person standing here feel terrible? But in fact, he is not at all dangerous."
"That's the reason. As long as he doesn't move around, the iron ball will not hit him." Zhu Heng nodded and said yes.
Zhang Ning said calmly: "For some reasons, some things seem terrible, but in fact they seem terrible. We must believe in reality."
After hearing this, Zhu Heng bent down and said, "If the lord makes such a decision, I will definitely agree."
Zhang Ning helped him up and said kindly: "If we have to work together, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
After the Senate reached a consensus, things would be easier. The officials could formulate plans and then formulate specific personnel to handle them separately. It would be easy for the Suzaku Army to use prisoners, and it would be easy for the army to expand again. A large number of young and strong prisoners were all
It is ready-made, those military households have a sense of military discipline, are familiar with various armor and weapons, which is much more convenient than recruiting and training refugees or poor peasants to serve as military troops.
The expanded group of people was named "Wuchangying" by Zhang Ning himself. If someone could pay attention to these names, he could guess many of the strategic intentions of the "rebels" from the names.
All military generals above the Xiaoqi (twelve people) were drawn from the Zhuque Army, and they also changed from military uniforms, flags to weapons and equipment to the end. The new army will be temporarily placed in Changde Mansion for training. Zhang Ning needs to choose an important person to come.
The troops responsible for this 8,000-subject quota, from personnel selection to complete training, and the implementation of military disciplines.
The person who grants military power is the key. If you can't control the general in charge, what will the main general win over the middle-level generals to do, the organizational system will be ready. Moreover, to be able to command a battalion of troops, a certain identity and prestige is required.
Otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public.
He thought of Zhou Mengxiong. This man was a general in charge of Jianwen many years ago. He could not compare his knowledge to anyone, especially when Zhang Ning was unable to attract senior talents from the outside, he was idle with someone like Zhou Mengxiong.
It's a huge waste.
What made Zhang Ning most worried was that he was an old minister who was loyal to Jianwen. Zhang Ning was also known as the minister of Jianwen in name, but in fact he was him, Jianwen was Jianwen, and his power did not integrate... Zhou Mengxiong's daughter became
After his wife, the relationship impact brought by the marriage may be useful; this is also the premise that Zhang Ning began to consider Zhou Mengxiong, no matter how it is said, it is the legitimate Yuexu relationship.
The soldiers of the new Wuchang camp were mainly military households in the garrison. Zhou Mengxiong was from the Jianwen group and it was difficult to become a solid piece with the people below. Balance may create an opportunity for control.
Zhang Ning was on his side and had to consider checks and balances further. Allowing Yao Ji to participate in politics, her roots were too strong in the Zhuque army; introducing the Zhou family's relatives may be able to prepare foreshadowing for future balance.
It has nothing to do with emotions, a benefit | If a group is unbalanced, it will easily lose control, which will be a disaster for anyone?
