Yi Song

Chapter 160 The secrets of Liu Erlang’s army

Spent a day cleaning the battlefield.

The first step is to collect the body.

The corpses of the rebels were thrown into a big pit and buried together. The corpses of the officers and soldiers were cleaned and transported to the north bank. They were buried together with the soldiers who died in the battle the day before yesterday, and were recorded and erected as monuments.

Treat the wounded. First, all the wounded officers and soldiers were carried into a temporary medical rescue camp. The seriously injured ones were treated by Jinshang Doctors, and the lightly injured ones were cleaned and bandaged by medical staff.

The wounded soldiers of the rebel army were also carried to the medical rescue camp and placed indoors in another place to be protected from wind and rain. There were not that many Jinshang medical officers and medical staff, so we could only wait until they had finished treating all the wounded in the army and free up their hands before turning around.

In the meantime, we can only rely on fate.

The captives were counted, men and women, young and old, old and weak, women and children, and all were registered. Then each family was allowed to gather together and stay in the tents that had been set up before.

The Bianhe Zuohu Camp and the Nanjing Forbidden Army surrounded them and monitored them. They distributed rations regularly, had officers patrolling, treating the sick and orphans, and helping the elderly and the weak.

Beating, scolding and humiliation are strictly prohibited. Inspectors transferred from the Changshui Army lead the military law team to patrol everywhere, conducting overt and covert inspections.

The Bianhe Zuohu camp knew how powerful they were, and everyone abided by the law.

Some officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Forbidden Army did not take it seriously. Bad habits are hard to change. They felt that after winning the battle, they could do whatever they wanted. They took the opportunity to rob and commit adultery. They were caught by the inspectors. In an instant, their heads were hung outside the gates of each camp by the military law team. With their eyes wide open, He opened his mouth to warn his colleagues.

Not worth it!

The clerks from the secretary's office went to each team in each capital to verify the performance of each officer and soldier one by one. Dozens of military attachés and veterans tried to bully the weak and pretended to have military merits, but they were pulled out and immediately arrested by the military law team and handed over to the Dianjun Division for judicial punishment.

All armies must be disciplined!

Yuwen Huangzhong was like a curious baby, pulling Li Miao around.

You need to see the medical rescue camp; you need to see the medical doctors treating the wounded; you also need to see the medical staff cleaning and bandaging.

I wanted to look at the prisoner registration book. I took the thick booklet and admired the detailed information registered on it.

"Look, Yansi, the registered information, not only male, female, age, place of origin, family members, whether they are literate, but also what skills they have is really surprising."

Li Miao said disapprovingly: "When the commander-in-chief organized more than 200,000 disaster victims into the Changshui Army, they registered them in the same way. Then they assigned duties according to each person's situation."

"This is what makes people make the most of their talents. All the talk about squeezing people's power is just the nonsense coming from the mouths of those bitter people. After I go back, I will make it clear to my brother and the others."

Yuwen Huangzhong said.

Then he followed the inspector and led the military law team to patrol around. After looking around for a few times, he couldn't help but secretly said to Li Miao: "Are these inspectors all from Hwarang?"

"They are almost all members of the Hongying Party. This is an open secret." Li Miao said disapprovingly, "Isn't Shutong a member of the four poetry societies? He is also the backbone of the Aotou Polo Club."

"No, Yan Si, this is completely different. We have similar interests and got together. The Hongying Party members are so capable and obey Liu Erlang's orders. They are his eagle and dog minions."

Li Miao quickly stopped him and said, "Don't make a loud noise. Shutong, who doesn't have a group of minions in the hands of powerful ministers now?"

"Whose minions are as strict as the Hongying Party and follow orders and prohibitions?" Yu Wenhuangzhong looked at Li Miao with side eyes.

Li Miao remained silent.

Then he followed the clerks from the book office to check the records of each battalion and team of the Forbidden Army.

"Yan Si, you see, the record reporting system formulated by Liu Erlang is also very interesting. Each person reports his own merits and demerits, and the top ten generals, team generals, etc. will be directly evaluated by their superiors. Then the clerk from the clerk's office will conduct random inspections and cross-checks, just like a secret This is an airtight network, and no one can hide who has made the merits and demerits." "I've seen it too. If you declare your merits and demerits, you will be rewarded for your merits and half of your demerits. Just write an experience summary. If you declare falsely, you will be punished. What comes out of the audit is half the merit and double the excess. These systems are indeed interesting, but I think the most important thing is to have clear rewards and punishments, fairness and justice, and yes, openness."

"Interesting, interesting." Yuwen Huangzhong became more and more excited as he watched, and found that Liu Erlang had many things that surprised him.

Li Miao became increasingly worried, and his state was noticed by Yuwen Huangzhong.

"Yansi, what's wrong with you?"

"Shutong, these things were kept secret by the Changshui Army when I was the dredging supervisor. Now they are open for you and me to see without any scruples. You said, Liu Tongzhi made this gourd sell What medicine did you get?"

Yuwen Huangzhong's expression changed and he just went to watch the fun and excitement, forgetting the mystery behind it.

This is someone's secret. If it is leaked, it will give the opponent a knife.

Being so generous and open to yourself and Yan Si, firstly, you treat the two of them as your own, but they still don't; secondly, you prepare to treat the two of them as your own, what if you and Yansi don't agree?

Yuwen Huangzhong couldn't help but shudder when he saw deep pits being dug in the distance to bury the rebels who died in the battle.

Bad things happen, and you fall into the pit unknowingly.

"I'm from Yuwenshe, Supervisor Li, and my family's commander-in-chief has invited me." Zhang Meng came over with a team of flag bearers and invited him politely.

Yuwen Huangzhong and Li Miao looked at each other. They wanted to see each other, but they didn't dare not to follow them.

Entering the big tent, Liu Guozhang was sitting inside, Wang Xun, Ma Kuo, Kuang Yousheng, Yu Chijing, Li Shigui were sitting on the left side, and the aides Murong Yewang and Changsun Mo were sitting on the right side.

Li Miao knew all these people, but there were four others he had never seen before, but his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but sigh, the heroes and generals in the world are all gathered here.

"Mr. Yuwen, Mr. Li, let me introduce, this is Liu Zhene, this is Xue Anliang, this is Dazhongbao, and this is Yan Zhengchen, they are all brothers of life and death that I met in the Northeast!

They wanted to go south and defect to me, but they did not want to encounter the Hailing Party at sea. After a fight, they landed in Haizhou, and then gathered more than a thousand people to continue fighting with the Hailing Party. He was accidentally encountered by Tian Wenbao, and he went astray and became a thief.

Fortunately, God opened my eyes yesterday and allowed me to meet them. They suddenly woke up, abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, helping us defeat the bandit army in one fell swoop and capture Tian Wenbao alive. "

After the introduction, Yuwen Huangzhong and Li Miao were asked to sit down. Liu Guozhang got straight to the point, "The first achievement of this battle was Liu Zhene. If he hadn't led the East China Sea Yi Cong as an internal response, we wouldn't have been able to defeat the enemy so easily. Do you have any objections?" "

"Nothing!" everyone said in unison.

"The second achievement was Ma Kuo. He led the divine cavalry army to break through the Qingjin Rex defense line of the rebel army in one fell swoop, and broke through the middle camp, causing the entire rebel army to collapse. Do you have any objections?"

"none!"

"The third achievement is Wei Chi Jing, who led his troops to capture Tian Wenbao. Do you have any objections?"

"none!"

"Okay, all the other achievements will be recorded by the Recording Department and reviewed one by one with the Military Department. If everything is correct, I will write it down in the memorial and send it to the Privy Council, Zhongshu Sheng and the officials to ask for your credit! "

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!"

"Okay, now let's strike while the iron is hot and summarize the battle. I'll start with the beginning. This battle went smoothly. The first was Donghai Yicong's attack anyway, and the second was the attack of the Divine Cavalry Army and the Bianhe Zuohu Camp, as well as the Guangjie Army's 3rd The tenth command and the sixth command of the Dragoon Army obeyed the command, fought bravely, and completed the command objectives.

The shortcoming is that the fighting will of each department is not tenacious. The rebels resisted for a while, or they occupied favorable terrain and were unable to attack, or they were timid and unwilling to devote all their efforts and fight to the death. The Nanjing Forbidden Army was like this, and even the Bianhe Left Guard Camp, some of the commands and teams also had such problems.

What we are facing is just an army of thieves. You all know how powerful they are. They are far from the Xixia Army and the Northern Liao Army. If you fight like this, how will you fight them in the future? It’s hard to get back, so I’ll train a few more times.”

Liu Guozhang became more and more enthusiastic as he talked, but Yuwen Huangzhong and Li Miao became more and more sitting on pins and needles.
