Ming Zuo

Chapter 82 Military Rank
Until the end of the banquet, Xu Erjue could not come out of the shock.

Back at the residence, the wine has not dissipated, and I can always think of Zuo Menggeng's words in a dizzy state.

He persisted for a while, wrote a letter, and asked the servant to send it to the capital quickly.

It was too late to wait for Xu Ji, who was far away in Songjiang, to give instructions, so Xu Guangqi had no choice but to call the shots.

The next day, Zuo Menggeng invited him to visit Houying.

Among these partners, the only people who can walk into Houying are people from the Xu family.

Zuo Menggeng knew why Xu Erjue had come. If he wanted to have a good result with Xu Ruolin in the future, he had to reassure the Xu family.

Show Xu Erjue his own strength, stronger than anything else.

"Brother Xu, please."

Seeing a sedan chair, Xu Erjue felt embarrassed.

"How can a certain Xu be at ease and make everyone tired?"

It turned out that he thought Zuo Menggeng and others were going to walk.

Zuo Menggeng, Huang Zongxi, Zhou You and others laughed, making Xu Erjue inexplicable.

"I'm all riding horses, Brother Xu can rest assured to ride in the sedan chair."

Seeing that Huang Zongxi and Zhou You both went to Mali, Xu Erjue was quite surprised.

"Brother Huang and Brother Zhou are scholars of my generation, and they are proficient in this way of riding?"

Huang Zongxi shook his head and sighed: "This is the case in the army. Thousands of seats have been strictly ordered to either ride a horse or walk. Whoever dares to ride a sedan chair in the army will be severely punished. I have recently learned about riding. Yes, suffered enough."

Today's Huang Zongxi can not only ride horses.During the daily training in the back camp, he must also participate.

At the beginning, Huang Zongxi was quite embarrassed, and his performance was not as good as that of a recruit, and he lost face.

Huang Zongxi was incomprehensible and had many heated debates with Zuo Menggeng.

It was not until he saw Zuo Menggeng lead by example that he personally participated in the training and always took the lead, that he understood the meaning of it.He put down the shelf of a scholar, carried his thin body, and walked and fought with the soldiers.

Barracks are the best melting pot.

After just a few months of living in the military camp, Huang Zongxi's bookishness has faded a lot, and there is a sturdy look invisibly.

Now, it is common for him to open his mouth and scold people.Eating is even more devoured, and does not care about decency at all.

Seeing that Huang Zongxi, a pure scholar, was transformed into a thorough martial artist, Xu Er felt deeply surprised.When sitting in the sedan chair, I always observe secretly.

Seeing that everyone else was sitting right away, looking majestic, he actually felt a sense of filth.

Fortunately, the camp will be here soon.

At the camp gate, Zuo Menggeng and the others got off the horse one by one, and after talking to the guards, they led the horse into it.

Xu Er felt that he had to get out of the sedan chair and follow everyone on foot.

His servants and bearers were not allowed to enter.

"The virtuous brother manages the army with the rules of a lord and the power of a willow."

Zuo Menggeng walked with him in the barracks and was very proud of his achievements.

"The most important thing in governing the army is military discipline, which is the foundation of a strong army. There are not so many intrigues and tricks on the battlefield. Only the strength of the army is the basis for determining the outcome. In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and tricks will It's useless."

Xu Erjue listened carefully, these words were completely different from the way of the military that he had learned from books and plays in the past.

But looking at the soldiers in the barracks, even if they were walking in a row, the chilling atmosphere was in the air, which was intimidating and very reasonable.

"My virtuous brother is now serving as President of the Thousand..."

Thinking of Zuo Menggeng's age, Xu Erjue couldn't help grinning.

Fourteen-year-old President Qian, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have never believed it.

"Although the future is vast, in today's world, reading and fame is the right way. For the long-term plan, the way of civil and martial arts should be carefully considered by my virtuous brother."

The meaning inside and outside the words, still look down on Zuo Menggeng's identity as a warrior.

In this Ming Dynasty, warriors were synonymous with lowliness.

The Xu family is a scholarly family, famous in the south of the Yangtze River.If the only little girl married a martial artist, she would be ridiculed by her colleagues.

Zuo Menggeng didn't listen at all.

"The balance between civil and military can ensure the stability of national politics. Any move that promotes and suppresses martial arts, favors martial arts and abandons literature, is a self-abolition of martial arts. What's wrong with soldiers? Without soldiers, who will protect the country in this world? Those who are at the top of the temples, where do you see them? Get the contribution of my generation of soldiers?"

Xu Erjue noticed that Zuo Menggeng always called himself a soldier.

This is very different from the current "warrior" and "Qiuba", and it obviously gives people a different feeling.

"Even if a warrior reaches the peak, he is still no more than a general soldier. Even when he sees a seventh-rank magistrate, he must bow his head and listen to him. How can a virtuous brother and a noble generation suffer from such a cowardice?"

Zuo Menggeng let out a long laugh, pointing to the barracks where Tiger Leaps and Long Teng, and the domineering domineering of whoever leaves me is unquestionable.

"Now I have [-] tigers and beasts, all of which are very impressive. In the future, I have [-] heroes, who would dare to despise me? When I have [-] troops in my hands?"

Xu Er felt terrified and startled, and the stormy waves in his heart swept his soul.

In Zuo Menggeng's words, the meaning is revealed, and for a scholar like him, it is too terrifying.

But then he realized something was wrong.

"According to the system, since the virtuous brother is a thousand chiefs, there are only a thousand people under his command. There are three thousand tigers here..."

Zuo Menggeng looked straight at him.

"What did Brother Xu teach me?"

Xu Erjue twitched the corners of his mouth, not daring to look at Zuo Menggeng.

Little sister, what kind of murderer are you provoking?

The future of the Xu family is good or bad?
Anyway, after walking around in the Houying Army and feeling the completely different temperament of the Houying Army and the other Ming Army, Xu Erjue had some experience.

Four days later, Xu Guangqi's reply arrived.

Regarding Zuo Menggeng's proposal to take a stake in Xujia Weaving, Xu Guangqi only approved one word.

can.

With the consent of the owner, Xu Erjue immediately signed an agreement with Zuo Menggeng, allowing Zuo Menggeng to have a stable source of income in addition to the glass industry.

Only then did Zuo Menggeng take him to see the hydraulic drive.

The simple principle made Xu Erjue's blood pressure rise, and there was no place to take regret medicine.

With such a simple thing, the Xu family gave [-]% of the shares.

However, looking at the working efficiency of the hydraulic hammer, Xu Erjue became excited again, knowing that the Xu family had caught the treasure.

He didn't want to stay for a moment, said goodbye quickly, and rushed back to Songjiang to adjust the industrial layout.

On Zuo Menggeng's side, the rear camp has entered a new stage.

More than [-] soldiers came back from the pier, which filled the barracks a lot at once.

For the more than [-] soldiers, Zuo Menggeng organized them into the first and second battalions of the infantry, and the rest into the rear battalion.

The original infantry first brigade and the general rear brigade were disbanded, and the soldiers were divided into new units and successfully became lower-level officers.

It is precisely because of these first soldiers who have been trained and cultivated that the expansion of the rear battalion can be realized.

Otherwise, an army of more than a thousand people would not be able to train with only Zuo Menggeng, Huang Zongxi, Liu Yiyuan, Zhouyou and prosperity and wealth, and a few people to enjoy forever.

But with the expansion of the army, a problem arose.

Liu Yiyuan brought a person to Zuo Menggeng.

"Qianzuo, his name is Bai Xiaoqi, and he is currently the team leader of the ninth team of the third squadron of the first brigade. He found a problem and reported it to me. I think this problem is very important, and we must come up with a solution as soon as possible. "

Zuo Menggeng knew Bai Xiaoqi.

There were more than [-] people in the first brigade at the beginning, and every soldier was trained by him personally, so every face was remembered by him in his mind.

"When he was trained, Bai Xiaoqi had a lively mind and had a lot of ideas. Now he can find out the problem."

Bai Xiaoqi scratched the back of his head, smiling very silly.

"At the beginning, Qianzuo said that the back camp is the back camp of our big guys. Only when the big guys put their ideas and strength into one place can the back camp be better, and the big guys can be better. I always remember Qianzu's words, Don't be lazy."

Zuo Menggeng pulled him to sit down and praised: "If everyone has your thoughts, why should we worry about it? Tell me, what problem did you find?"

With his encouragement, Bai Xiaoqi also calmed down and spoke very methodically.

"Thousands, our team has a total of thirty people. Although there are two deputy leaders in addition to my team. But those recruits don't remember who they are, they often tell who is the deputy leader, and the result is a change. No, they forgot about it. When the deputy team was assisting me in training, many recruits were disobedient. I felt that everyone was a soldier, so why would they train people? I thought, should I think of some way? Let the soldiers remember who is the officer?"

Hearing this question, Zuo Menggeng couldn't help crying out ashamed.

Such an important issue has been neglected by him.

When preparing to build the rear camp, he only thought about pursuing equality between officers and soldiers.And because the armor was canceled, the uniforms of the generals and soldiers were actually the same.

In this way, equality is equality, but when the number is too large, the soldiers cannot recognize who is an officer or who is a soldier.

In training now, although there is a lot of trouble, it is not too serious.

But if on the battlefield, once an officer is killed in action, who should the soldiers follow?

Wouldn't it be a mess?
"Thanks to you, otherwise we will have a big problem in the back camp."

Zuo Menggeng clearly knew who deserved the credit.

Needless to say, this Bai Xiaoqi has already been on his list. As long as there are no mistakes in the future, he will definitely be promoted faster than others.

Zuo Menggeng did not dare to delay, and immediately called the entire battalion officers for a meeting.

"In order to distinguish officers and soldiers in our army, as well as the ranks of officers, from now on, the rank system will be implemented in the entire battalion."
