Chapter 493
In fact, the brigade commanders and regiment commanders of the Liu family army were not very powerful, especially the commander of the brigade in the Ming Dynasty. He enjoyed the title of deputy general in the Ming Dynasty, but he could not make decisions on many things.
Of course, this was mainly because Liu Mingyu was worried about forming a separatist trend in the army for future considerations. At present, the Liu family army became Liu Mingyu's private army. If according to the customs of the Ming court, the brigade commander and the regiment commander under him were the head of the soldier.
As a historical giant, Liu Mingyu was very confident in the advanced system of later generations. The brigade commander became the executive officer who directly commanded the troops, while the Military Law Department was responsible for supervising the generals. The officers' daily performance was organized at the grassroots level in the Soldiers Committee and checked and balanced officers. In this way, even if a brigade commander or regiment commander was bribed, even if they wanted to turn against each other like Turger, they would be powerless.
The Liu family army's soldiers committee was established from the company level, namely the regiment level, the brigade level, and the General Staff's combat orders. Although the warfare orders will not be issued to the Soldiers committee, things like surrendering to the enemy will be quickly known once announced.
Moreover, Liu Mingyu clearly stipulated that the Soldiers Committee only accepts soldiers, and officers of the second lieutenant or above are not allowed to enter the Soldiers Committee, and they also avoid trade unions like later generations.
The trade union chairman has always served as a leading cadre. Of course, they represent the interests of leading cadres. The employee trade union representatives are always represented, and the trade union loses its original intention to safeguard the interests of employees.
The Soldiers Committee represents the interests of soldiers, such as their food, accommodation, salary, and treatment. Of course, in order to avoid excessive correction, Liu Mingyu also did not include corporal punishment in the surveillance system, such as officers beating and scolding.
Just like in the later education system, teachers could not manage students, and saying a ruthless word was to insult students, and then they were furious by their parents and the teacher was fired.
The kneeling teacher cannot teach the standing students, and the kneeling officers cannot train the tiger and wolf army.
Because the commercial atmosphere in Daning and southern Liaoning is very strong, it also has a significant impact on people's aesthetic views. Especially when the soldiers of the Liu family army get married, they no longer take pride in marrying the children of officials, but are proud of women who are educated and knowledgeable about business. Guo Shiying, the staff officer of the Liu family army who was dragged into the water, was also considered to be a good woman.
He was a tenant in Liu Mingyu's family. His mother was also a rough maid next to Liu Mingyu's biological mother Shen. Guo Shiying's father was Guo Dakuan, and he was one of the eldest sons of Liu Mingyu's father Liu Jinxian. When Liu Mingyu founded Kuanhe Academy, Guo Shiying, who had been studying in Liu Jinxian's private school for five years, was sent to Liu Mingyu.
Although Guo Shiying does not have the personal relationship between Liu Fugui and Liu Mingyu, in Liu Mingyu's eyes, Guo Shiying is also a trustworthy person. Otherwise, Guo Shiying would have started as an instructor of the Liu Family Army's personal guard infantry regiment, then became an instructor, and finally promoted to major staff officer of the Liu Family Army General Staff.
Since Guo Shiying had contacted Jiangnan's wealthy merchants with the pseudonym Yuanhai, Ruan Dayue used very old-fashioned techniques to curry favor with Guo Shiying and have a banquet all day long. This kind of thing could not be hidden from the eyes of the Black Guard.
But the problem is that Guo Shiying has too many halos. Liu Mingyu's family was born as a slave and servant, and his ancestors were all loyal to the Liu family. Such a background, let alone just doubt, even if there is a real problem, it can only be handled by Liu Mingyu himself.
As the saying goes, beating a dog depends on the owner, who dares?
Zhao Tiegou didn't dare, nor did Liu Qiao.
In this way, Guo Shiying fell into the trap woven by Ruan Dayue. One day and night, Guo Shiying woke up and found a woman with pear blossoms curled up beside her. There were traces of fighting on and under the bed. There were also bursts of rapid knocks outside the door, and things were heard.
Guo Shiying was blocked on the bed by Ma Shiying's pseudonym Ma Yiming.
According to the military discipline of the Liu family army, based on what Guo Shiying did, he must be rectified on the spot. Ma Yiming also shouted to fight and kill, which scared Guo Shiying to death.
At the critical moment, Ruan Dayue appeared. He helped Guo Shiying resolve the crisis as a peacemaker, and Guo Shiying needed to help Ruan Dayue's small business.
When Ruan Dayue made his request, Guo Shiying understood Ruan Dayue's identity, but the problem was that he didn't dare to part ways. He knew Liu Mingyu's cold-blooded and ruthlessness. If Liu Mingyu knew what he was doing, no one would be able to protect him.
Guo Shiying had the idea of giving up the jar, and asked Ruan Dayue for money, and was about to leave Liaonan and escape to a place where no one paid attention to him.
When news of the Guangning victory came, after Huang Taiji escaped, Guo Shiying also knew that he was in trouble.
Guo Shiying left Jinzhou in a carriage on the grounds of being unwell.
Of course, with the guards around him, these people were all guard regiments written by Liu Mingyu's General Staff. In fact, this was adapted from the Fifth Regiment of Liu Mingyu's Personal Guard Brigade. These people would only obey Liu Mingyu, not others.
In fact, all the soldiers of the Liu family army were obeyed by Liu Mingyu. Whether it was Liu Xingzuo, Mao Yuanyi, or Shen Shikui, they could not mobilize the soldiers and soldiers of the Liu family army without the authorization of Liu Mingyu.
After Guo Shiying left Jincheng, less than 30 miles away from the city, he entered the cornfield by the road for the excuse of going to the toilet. He ran carefully for five or six hundred steps before he breathed a sigh of relief.
A parcel was dug out from under a tree, with more than 200 redeemed silver coins in the package. Of course, there were five unnamed Daning Bank notes, each of which was 10,000 taels, which was also the price for him to betray Liu's army.
"who!"
Guo Shiying turned around and found two people dressed by farmers in the field on the roadside. One of them had a broken wrist and had an iron hook installed.
"Who are you and what are you doing~!"
"Black-clothed guard!"
Zhao Tiegou looked at Guo Shiying and said, "You should have heard of me, don't force me to do it!"
At this moment, more than a dozen fully armed black guards emerged from the cornfield.
Guo Shiying slowly raised his hand.
...
Since the Liu family army headed north, the tense atmosphere in Jinzhou City has also proved that the Liu family army was not in good condition. Huang Taiji bypassed the main force of the Liu family army and was leading tens of thousands of troops to besiege Guangning City.
Guangning City is seven or eight hundred miles away from Jinzhou City, and the whole city of Jinzhou City is martial law.
As one of Liu Mingyu's reserve forces, Yang Xianxian arrived at the Women's Textile Factory in person and personally sent someone to distribute weapons and equipment to the female soldiers of the Women's Textile Factory.
In Ruan Dayue's opinion, even female soldiers need to be used, which seems to indirectly confirm that the Tianxiong Army has been in trouble, otherwise Mrs. Yang would have led the troops to fight?
These two people were in a happy mood and were leisurely and contented, waiting for the news of the destruction of Guangning City or the defeat of the main forces of the Liu family army. However, it has been so long, why is there still no news?
"Damn Liu Mingyu, is this blockade too strict, right?"
"Brother Jizhi, look at the situation, isn't it a bit weird?" Ma Shiying sipped tea and pointed at the Liu family soldiers walking by in line with guns below, frowned.
"Why did Yaocao say this?"
Ma Shiying frowned and said, "It should be said that there should be news coming over Guangning there, but now the city of Jinzhou is still calm..."
Ruan Dayue snorted and said disapprovingly: "Then it is probably because the surname Liu is guilty and dare not let the military and civilians in Jinzhou know the truth!"
Ma Shiying shook her head and said, "Not it? Is it true? If you want to say that Liu Mingyu took the Liu family army away, Guangning City is empty, there is nothing to say, but Jinzhou..."
Only by coming to southern Liaoning can you discover the horror of this place.
Not to mention the workers in major factories, even if they set up a bun stall on the street, they still have to participate in military training or rescue the wounded.
No matter how high the status or the wealth is, just like the Huizhou merchants who have worked with Liu Mingyu with a deep foundation, they still have to participate in the military training organized by the Liu family army.
Once Liu Ming encounters military mobilization in southern Liaoning, he can increase his troops by 30,000 to 40,000 troops within one day. If it is ten days, the number will double.
Before the start of school, students of Liaonan University conducted a month-long military training. The training content was just a four-sided transformation method, three major steps, and basic movements such as squatting and standing up.
However, students over the age of 16 need to participate in practical exercises and also participate in grenade throwing training. If they fail to pass the three main courses of Liaonan University, they will not have the chance to get a diploma. The three main courses are Chinese, mathematics and martial arts.
In particular, martial arts are divided into three basic skills: riding, shooting, driving, and driving skills, as well as long-distance running, pull-ups, and push-ups.
Although Ma Shiying didn't come for a long time, he discovered Liu Mingyu's real intention. His purpose was to learn from the Han and Tang dynasties. Officials asked that they could manage the army and dismount to govern the people.
In fact, during the Han and Tang dynasties, there was no so-called distinction between civil and military affairs.
Ruan Dayue was very confident, and he showed a sinister smile: "Since ancient times, Liaodong has been a dead place. Even if it is as powerful as the Han and Tang dynasties, he dare not enter Liaodong easily. Those who sent troops to attack Liaodong regardless of the situation ended in defeat nine out of ten times! Even the Han and Tang dynasties were like this, what was his surname Quan? He just won a few lucky battles and thought he was invincible in the world. Ma Shiying thought of it. Since ancient times, Liaodong has been the tomb of the empire.
The Donghu, Wuheng, and Xianbei people rose one after another in Liaodong and then swept the world. The Jurchens also rose in Liaodong. Even the extremely powerful Han and Tang dynasties did not really conquer Liaodong.
The battle to conquer Liaodong was either a waste of money and consumed military resources, which was not worth the loss, or a crushing defeat. There were very few successful examples. In more than two thousand years, no dynasty could truly conquer Liaodong.
Although the Tang Dynasty was powerful, the Khitans also rose between the white mountains and black waters during the Tang Dynasty, and then dominated the northeast, followed by the Jurchens.
In a broad sense, the Jurchens and Mongols all rose up in Liaodong and then conquered the Mongolian grasslands. Such examples are everywhere in history.
What is Liu Minghui?
An army that had only been formed for several years, in the southern part of Liaoning, a abandoned place that Jiannu wanted, barely gained a foothold and wanted to conquer Mongolia and Liaodong?
Too naive!
Thinking of this, Ma Shiying also laughed: "I wonder what the expression of Liu's surname would be after receiving the news of the defeat?"
Ruan Dayue smiled faintly and said, "That face must be nice and can't see anywhere. We, fellow officials of the Lin, have already connected with nearly half of the gentry and officials. When he was defeated, they rose up and attacked them. They reported to the court to severely participate in his corruption, bribery, fish and meat gentry, and they were arbitrarily engaged in border provocations and collusion with foreign enemies. We opened the five provinces of Shanxi, Shaanxi, Beizhili, Shandong and Henan at the same time to stop the market and put pressure on the court! Humph, he has been with the help of so long, isn't it just because he has a strong army in his hands? Now that this strong army is gone, I think what he will do! It's okay if he is undefeated, it's hard for him to die if he loses!"
