Zhang Jun ordered his subordinates to get firewood and burn the bodies of Ruan Yuanwai and others. The bones and the firewood ashes were buried in a remote place outside the village.

He ordered his men to go to the village, and Zhang Jun ordered him to get wine and drink with his eight subordinates. The others were divided into two groups, one group was on guard and patrolling, and the other group was drinking and eating meat. It was late at night, but the lights in Ruan's village were bright.

Tongming, Zhang Jun and others laughed loudly.

After three bowls of wine, Li Tai said: "Observe, what will happen to the women and children of the Ruan family in the backyard?"

Zhang Jundao: "When someone returns to Caizhou in a few days, take them back together. We are here to fight and kill people, who has the patience to watch them? If they are brought back to Caizhou, Counselor Wang will handle it, so we don't have to worry about it!"

Pang Xian said: "It's such a troublesome thing! Why not kill him with one knife and end it once and for all!"

Zhang Jun said: "If you follow my temper, then I will pick up the knife and chop them in a row to avoid trouble in the future. However, we are soldiers now and must obey the orders of our superiors. The king observes people, and you know that he is most afraid of killing people indiscriminately."

Whoever dares to commit a crime will get no good results. There are all Ruan Yuanwai’s subordinates in the courtyard outside. If you want to kill them, they will be killed. If you kill women and children, how can you dare to return to Xiangyang for observation in the future?"

The eight people nodded and said no more.

When he first returned to Ruzhou, Wang Xiaolie's power was weak and he was decisive in killing. After Yang Jin was eliminated, the territory became larger and the army became more numerous, people became more and more cautious. The army cannot rob people's property and cannot bully them.

The common people were unable to do business and robbed the common people of their wealth. Now, the army is beginning to be required to help the common people and emphasize military-civilian relations. The training in the military is becoming more and more rigorous, but it is further and further away from the real society, and it has become completely independent of society.

other armed forces.

Not many people really understand this change, and most of them just execute orders. Especially in this era, whether it is the army, bandits, or enemies, they all regard the people as cattle and sheep, and they can rob them if they can. Wang Xiao

The practice of hunting seems out of place.

Zhang Jun has a lawless temper, and he is restricted everywhere under Wang Xiaolie. There are too many rules, which makes him very uncomfortable. Moreover, military discipline has become more and more strict recently, and Zhang Jun feels depressed. This trip to Liangzhou is just what he wants.

Xinye, in Wang Xiaolie's yard. Chen Yuyi, Shao Ling and Niu Gao were sitting under the ginkgo tree, chatting with Wang Xiaolie.

Chen Yuyi said: "These days in Xinye, the results of the recent military rectification are really unsatisfactory. Many people think it is unnecessary, and even more people feel bored. The days in the military are already depressing, and they have to do things every day, so they have no leisure.

"

"Relaxing in the army?" Wang Xiaolie glanced at Chen Yuyi. "What do these people think? Where is the army? You are busy day and night fighting for battle. You have never heard a word, and you sweat a lot.

, less bloodshed in wartime.”

Niu Gao said: "But rectification is not training. It is normal for the soldiers to have complaints."

Wang Xiaolie thought for a while and said: "Everyone wants to live a good life. It is normal for the soldiers at the bottom to be bored. At this time, you can see the level of the officers at the bottom. Those with high levels can keep the morale of their subordinates high.

They are full of energy. But those who are not at a high level can only complain."

Shao Ling said: "But most of the officers in the army are complaining now. Observe, is it appropriate to torment the army like this?"

Wang Xiaolie was stunned for a moment. Looking at the people, he didn't know what to say for a moment. After a long time, Wang Xiaolie said: "Now among the middle and lower-level officers in the army, what percentage are complaining and what percentage are confident?

Full?”

Shao Ling lowered his head and thought for a moment, looked at Niu Gao and said, "About 90% of you are complaining, and less than 50% of you are confident."

After hearing this, Wang Xiaolie was stunned for a moment. He complained 90% of the time. There is no doubt that his rectification has failed. I won't mention it below, but he has won two games in a row this year. Now Wang Xiaolie's prestige is too high.

Nodding, Wang Xiaolie looked at the red sun on the distant mountains in the western sky and said nothing.

Shao Ling and Niu Gao looked at each other, looked at Wang Xiaolie, and closed their mouths.

After a long time, Wang Xiaolie whispered: "I always thought that what I did was right, it would be effective, and it would definitely succeed. But I never thought about what would happen if I failed.

What happens if it fails?"

Seeing Wang Xiaolie's dejected look, Chen Yuyi said: "The so-called raising an army is nothing more than keeping the army fed and clothed. With kindness and kindness, the soldiers will definitely serve to the death in war. In this way, we will have a rare strong army in the world. Why bother?"

Let them read and write, and everyone must speak some truth. The whole world leads troops in this way, so why should observation be different from others?"

Wang Xiaolie smiled bitterly. After a while, he shook his head and said: "During the twenty or thirty years since the rise of the Jin Dynasty, they first destroyed Daliao and then destroyed Kaifeng. I ask you, during these twenty or thirty years, did they have any rivals like you?"

The strong army mentioned? Can any of these strong armies be evenly matched against the Jin army?"

Chen Yuyi hesitated for a moment. Yes, not only the Song army, but also the Liao army was defeated when faced with the Jin army. Last year, the Jin army crossed the river, with only tens of thousands of troops, and it turned the Song Dynasty upside down.

After looking at the three of them, Wang Xiaolie said: "You must know that what we are facing is an army rarely seen in the world. The Jurchens are less than ten thousand, and they are invincible. The meaning of this sentence is not just about the Jin Army.

It is very strong, and that is to say, if the Jurchen army exceeds 10,000 people, it will be difficult to deal with it. Even if it is ten times the number of soldiers against the Jin army of 10,000 people, it will be extremely dangerous. Once the Jin army breaks through a little, it may cause the entire army to

Collapse. Why bother with the army? Because I want to ensure that my army, no matter how difficult the situation is, will never be defeated. Only by ensuring that I will not collapse can I have the capital to confront the Jin army head-on. Do you think that just letting the soldiers

Is it enough to have enough food, clothing, and kindness?"

Without waiting for the three people to answer, Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "Not enough is far from enough. If you don't make great determination, have great perseverance, and work hard to improve your army, you will have no advantage against the Jin army. No matter how many troops you have, you will not be able to compete with the Jin army."

Military operations are extremely dangerous."

In this era, the combat effectiveness of the army cannot only be judged by the number of people, nor by the sophistication of weapons and equipment. Once the gap in combat effectiveness is large, there may be a situation where one point is defeated and the entire army is defeated. Once the army collapses, the number of people will also be reduced.

It doesn't make much sense anymore.

This is not only true in the era of cold weapons, but also in the era of hot weapons. If you want to build a strong army, the most basic thing is not to be disintegrated. Whether it is offensive or defensive, whether it is victory or defeat, the army must always maintain a strong organization. The organization cannot be

Disperse, the army is here.

Looking at the three people, Wang Xiaolie said: "According to what you said, 90% of the generals are bored, and the reorganization has failed without any accident. If it fails, it will fail, but the matter must be done. What will happen to this matter in the next two or three years?

It has to be done. Now we are not well prepared and have insufficient officers, so we are facing greater constraints. Then make preparations first, train officers first, and then start again when we are ready."

After saying that, Wang Xiaolie added: "I can't be the only one who has determination and confidence in this matter. You all must also have determination and confidence. If the senior generals can't understand it and fool around, then there's nothing we can do.

"

Chen Yuyi, Shao Ling and Niu Gao hurriedly crossed their hands: "I am willing to listen to the observation order!"

Wang Xiaolie sighed: "The trouble with this matter is that it is not just about obeying orders. It is about having a deep understanding and realizing the necessity of doing so psychologically and ideologically. Only when the ideological problem is solved,

Only then can we really get things done. Well, let’s start with the senior officers first. Shao Ling, Niu Gao, you two will each lead a team and rotate. The military commanders and above will learn first."

Shao Ling and Niu Gao said it together.
