It was just the fourth day of the sky. The bright moon slanted eastward, and the light gradually dimmed. The stars, whose light was covered by the bright moon, unfolded their mysterious faces again.

"Compared with the vast Milky Way, everything on the ground is insignificant. Rise and fall, success or failure, a handful of loess. Why bother to kill a few people every day and which city to capture?" Zheng Yunming looked up at the starry sky and sighed quietly.

When he turned around, he saw Wang Deng, Yang Xuan and Shi Wenhu all squinted their eyes, contemptuous of him with a look of looking at someone who was ill.

"The will of heaven is far away, how can we ordinary people understand it? But we are the ones who care about you," Yang Yangyang's hand said, "How could he come back with such a cowardly condition?"

"There is insufficient money and food, the equipment and flags are insufficient, and even the official position was only given one Zhiyingtian General Manager back?" Yang Shu raised his eyebrows: "Are we here to build the army or cultivate the land?"

Wang Deng was also very dissatisfied: "If the reputation is not right, the words will be unsatisfactory. With the reputation of the military farm, how can the soldiers be willing to practice with care?"

Zheng Yunming looked around at everyone and said slowly: "Everyone should know that the status of the Tulong Army in the Jinghu General Office cannot be compared with any regular army. Our baggage, supplies, and flag armor must be placed behind the various troops in Jinghu. I do not regard this treatment as an insult, because there is no head in the name of this newly established army that can be used to perform merits! Although this move by Zhao Zhenghu General Office cannot be considered reasonable, it can definitely be called fair."

"What's more, I don't regard this current situation as a difficulty. On the contrary, because we have this position of not being controlled and the department is focusing on, we can do something different."

Yang Xuan shook the official document in his hand and said, "No matter how you do, it will not be more helpful to us as much as the full amount of food and salary."

"No, if we operate according to the method mentioned by the Commander Command, the newly built team will soon fall to no different from other Song troops." Zheng Yunming said firmly as if he was talking about life and death: "The Commander Commander Command has five problems in guiding the Tulong Army, which are fatal mistakes."

"First of all, whether an army is engaged in military farming affairs has a lot to do with the elite level of the army itself. An army that is sufficient to be called elite soldiers cannot be engaged in other affairs, because it takes a lot of time to train combat skills, improve the connection between small troops and small troops, and be familiar with the operation mode of the large army. These are all necessary to carry out single training and a lot of drills to improve. Even if you devote twelve hours a day to practice, it is not enough, let alone use soldiers to grow food?"

"So elite troops cannot farm. In history, all frontier farms were done because the supply route was too far, and they had to do so. Or the economy could not be restored after the war and they were forced to use the army to reclaim wasteland. However, once the army starts farming, its combat effectiveness will inevitably decline. It is difficult for the face of the barbarians outside the border who are trained throughout the process. Therefore, if the Tulong Army wants to fight, it must first avoid the military farming."

"It's right," said Wang Deng: "Since ancient times, there have been soldiers who have military farming, and they must have elite soldiers who have fully trained, all because the army is dispersed and cannot be used after the military farming has been in chaos."

"Next, the second point is that there are twenty-four armoured warehouses in Xiangyang City. This has been accumulated gradually since the Yuewumu era. We naturally cannot make a conclusion that it is full of inferior products that are unbearable to use. However, once the armoured weapons are manufactured, they must be carefully maintained to ensure that their performance does not decline. In recent years, the first-class armed forces have been equipped into the army, and the old equipment they have eliminated accounts for a large part of the Xiangyang armoured warehouse. Given our current status, the chance of getting good equipment is very small, so it is better to make it yourself from scratch."

"Not bad," Shi Wenhu interrupted, "A few days ago, I stole a bow from the Xiangyang Prefecture warehouse to use, and I just pulled it and broke it. I am a little girl. I don't know how the soldiers in Xiangyang City use these bows to hit the Mongolians."

"There is a solution for this matter," said Yang Yu: "As long as you are in the archer team, don't be full of strings, mixed with arrows, shooting out in the rain of arrows. There are tens of millions of arrows on the battlefield. Who cares about the distance of the arrows? Moreover, the weapons are not well-established, which has been a stubborn disease for many years, and the generals can only pretend to be fine if they see it."

"This is one reason for the defeat of the army. Another reason is that the number of our army cannot be regarded as as large as the organizational structure. Take the Tulong Army as an example. The army is full of 5,000 people. If the old way is full of occupation, the soldiers are hundreds of servants in the general's house, hundreds of people repair the general's private house, and hundreds of people who make way for the generals, the wine chefs and craftsmen, and hundreds of people who serve the generals in private. They even included the number of sweeping numbers such as the Youge Girls as naturalized. How many people can truly serve on the battlefield?" Zheng Yunming said: "So these people must not let them infiltrate the army. There are 100 people in the Tulong Army, and all 100 people must be put into the battlefield. There are 5,000 people, and all 5,000 are soldiers who can fight."

"There is also the problem of empty wages for salary," Wang Deng said: "But the general manager has pointed us out a way to solve it."

"It's a pity that this method cannot be fully deployed in Jinghu at present." Zheng Yunming said: "For the time being, the method of paying in person by name is first used in the Tulong Army, and Xutu will expand. In addition to the above four issues, there is another most critical and important place."

"It means that the army cannot both engage in private property. Since the Five Dynasties, it seems that the army has opened the door and done business. "Zheng Yunming's eyebrows frowned: "All cities and towns where the army is stationed, big and small streets are filled with pawnshops, gambling halls, wineries and restaurants opened by the army. The army not only operates shops, but also participates in the transaction of bulk materials. In the early years of the Nandu period, some generals and generals all sent to do business for 8,000 people. It is also called "Happy with the people!"

"Of course, this is undoubtedly the same as the ministers said in the court. It is a stupid act of competing for profit with the people. But for the army itself, managing private property is even more unattainable. It is important to know that fighting is a business that carries the head. If there is a way out, the soldiers will refuse to serve. If you know that making money in business can be used as credit for promotion, tomorrow you will think about how to win two points, three points, and five points, and where can you feel like you are in a real mood to go to the front of the formation with real swords and guns to exchange the Tartars' head for rewards?"

"So, from the perspective of the combat effectiveness of the army, the army and private property are a cancer that cannot be removed. For a normal army, there is only one way to obtain fame and fortune, which is to try your best to seize the enemy's head!"

Yang Xuan shook his head leisurely: "Of course everyone can talk about the great principles, but the manager is afraid that he will ignore the most important thing."

Zheng Yunming smiled and said, "It's just a shortage of money."

"That's right." Yang Xuan said without hesitation: "How can those who have been in charge of the previous administration not know about these disadvantages? So they have not been eradicated because these disadvantages can bring a positive effect, that is, they can earn money and grain. How can they raise soldiers without food? How can they recruit without money? Without money and grain, even the army basically does not exist. How can they train to fight elite soldiers? Take this Tulong Army as an example. The Command and Envoy gave you such a large shortage, and you did not adopt any way to make money. What do you use to raise these 5,000 mouths that need to be eaten?"

"If it were decades ago, I might have no choice but to accept the arrangements of the Commander Office, but in the current situation." Zheng Yunming smiled mysteriously and said, "There is a way."

"It's just a harsh donation." Yang Yan said seriously: "Others can do this. You are a person who cherishes your feathers, so can you do this..."

"I have my own way at that time." Zheng Yunming still looked mysterious: "Discipline these local tyrants to take out the money, but how to deal with the inspection and inspection of the commander's commander is a problem..."

While he was talking, a noisy sound came from the direction of the gate.

Zheng Yunming, Wang Deng and Yang Xuan looked at each other, originally to arrive at the recruitment ground one step earlier than the officers and the miners and set a rule for everyone. Why would someone make a big noise in this place of military management at almost the early morning?

When I arrived in front of the gate, I saw a group of strong men in military uniforms and a few young men dressed in Confucian scholars in the dark night before dawn. Although the strong men were numerous, most of them only knew how to curse people like "straitors". The scholars were few and weak, but they were clear and organized and rejected them like making articles.

Zheng Yunming shouted: "Everyone lives there! How can the military gates make noises and noisy at will?"

When the soldiers saw the officials coming, they all closed their mouths in surprise. One of them stood up and said in a rough voice: "Officer Zheng, Shuai Meng asked me to bring these envoys to follow you."

Zheng Yunming then carefully identified the faint moonlight. It turned out that it was Ge Huai, the rude general of the Huangzhou guards, the rude general of the Ma Junsi. Zheng Yunming said happily: "I didn't expect that Mr. Ge personally led the team. I thought you would only arrive in the morning."

"If we are new to you, we always have to leave a good impression on our new boss, right?" Ge Huai smiled and said, "Only we are here to wait for the officials, and there is no reason why the officials are waiting for us. As a result, it's still too late for us to arrive so early."

Someone behind Ge Huai snorted and said, "I said I should have come here to wait yesterday. I would rather wait for a night than let the new commander look down on us."

Ge Huai turned around and cursed, "Liu Zheng, you are very capable, right? Everyone should also cure these newbie people who are useless during the day. If you don't have a good night's sleep, how can you be energetic to manage these bird people?"

Zheng Yunming's heart moved and looked closely. He saw that Liu Ji was only about twenty years old and had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a heroic look on his face.

"This is Liu Zheng who will rebel against the Song Dynasty and surrender to Kublai Khan in the future?" Zheng Yunming hesitated. Should he learn from Zhuge Kongming and find a reason to kill him?

But he couldn't help laughing later, because someone was going to commit something evil in the future and punish him now. There was no such thing in the whole world.

Liu Zheng could not guess that Zheng Yunming was trying to kill him. He shouted to the scholars: "Where are you from? Why did you come to the gate to disturb him?"
