It was already late autumn, the weather was cold, but the sun was particularly hot, and it was hot on the body. The ginkgo trees in the yard were golden, dotted with white fruits. A yellow dog lay lazily under the eaves, half-closing his eyes.

In the main hall, Fang Cheng and others sat upright, looking at Jiang Min in the middle.

The soldiers got tea and Jiang Min invited tea. He said, "You guys have chosen Jishuai from Xiangyang and came here from Xiangyang. To be honest, I am the same, it was just a few months ago. I just talked with the deputy guard and knew Jishuai valued it very much. When you came, Jishuai said that you wanted money, things, and people. As long as there were something in Xiangyang, we could give it to us. Jishuai trusted us so much and said that he was very stressful. I thought about it and thought, and I would like to talk to you first and welcome you tomorrow."

"I was a village boy. I had never even entered the school since I was a child, so I didn't know any big words. Later, I fled to Tangzhou and entered the school because I was under the rule of Jieshuai. In the school, I was not a good student and I didn't listen to the teacher's words. Everyone envied me for learning fast and often laughed at me. What's the use of learning fast? It's just that when I grew up, I could recognize some words and go to the city to find work. I happened to meet Jieshuai and brought me to Xinye and into the military academy. Half a year later, I was asked to join the military department and followed Jieshuai."

Speaking of this, Jiang Min raised her head and looked at the ginkgo tree outside. At this time, the leaves of the ginkgo had changed golden and swayed gently in the breeze, as if they were made of gold. The world was quiet, and occasionally a bird song came.

After a while of silence, Jiang Min said, "I regard myself as a student of Jieshuai. I am by his side and teach by Jieshuai by his words. After a few years, I should have learned something. At that time, I came to Hedong Road, but I didn't want to stay in the command center and felt that I couldn't learn anything. When I came to the front line, I could at least make some military achievements and not let others say anything. Jieshuai didn't say anything, so I gave me an official position to recruit the commander."

Speaking of this, Jiang Min was quite moved.

"It is better to travel thousands of miles than reading books. Jieshuai often says a word. It is always shallow to know what you know on paper. Many things cannot be known by studying. When I first came to Hedong Road, I brought hundreds of people. To be honest, Jieshuai valued me very much. After arriving in Shenshan County, he would build a base and prepare to do a big fight. Humph, I thought too seriously. Not long after, more than 100 people from the Jin army came, and not only did they slaughter Shenshan County, but the entire county was harmed. When I was in the rear, I would never think that more than 100 Jurchens could cause this

Such a great destruction. Shenshan County has fewer households, and now it is even less crowded. In the end, we chased the Jin army and encountered a Huabing Du Wu, and insisted on being a guide for us. Du Wu was lazy and no one in the village liked him. However, his grandson was caught by the Jin army, and no matter what, he would follow us to find his grandson. As a result, he was injured by the Jurchens earlier and died the day before we chased the Jin people. His grandson had been used as military rations by the Jurchens. This matter has been my inner demon for a long time and I can't sleep at night-"

Speaking of this, Jiang Min fell silent and recalled that nightmare.

To raise his voice, Jiang Min said: "Since you have arrived at Hedong Road, you must understand the situation here. The land in Hedong is barren and we are mostly active in the mountainous areas, so it is bound to be difficult for food and grass. Everyone must be mentally prepared and live a hard life here! If you can't endure the hardship, you should leave early!"

Fang Chengdao: "Don't worry, Jieshuai said it before coming. We are mentally prepared!"

Jiang Min nodded and said, "When in the service, Jishuai often said that we should be surrounded by the enemy and fight behind the enemy. When we were free, we also told me a lot of things to fight behind the enemy. However, the Jurchens were short of military strength, and in fact they did not have that much interest in the south of the Yellow River, so Xiangyang and Dengzhou were safe and stable. Now we are coming to Hedong, which is equivalent to doing what Jishuai had planned to do before."

"Since I'm here, I'll make some achievements here and grow a world! I'll explain some principles clearly today, and everyone knows it. Life in Hedong is definitely different from Dengzhou, so everyone is ready."

"Jie Shuai has always said that the army should be based in the people and share the same fate with the people. Why? Jie Shuai has talked a lot, but unfortunately I didn't understand it very clearly, so I won't talk about it. Today I will talk about an example of the family that Jie Shuai often talks about, and everyone will understand it."

"It is often said that a family requires strict fathers and kind mothers. There are two other words, saying that filial sons are produced under the stick, and kind mothers are defeated. If there is no kind mother, filial sons are produced under the stick of a strict father, and filial sons are produced easily. One is strict and the other is kind, these two roles are conclusions drawn by people after a long period of observation. It is best for a family to do this."

"One husband and wife, one father and one mother, form a family. But a family is never as simple as parents. Some people think that the world is like this. There must be a husband and wife, a father and one mother, and there must be yang. Jieshuai says it is not. A father and one mother are combined into a family. And one principle forms a family, not just parents. Not to mention the previous generation, they still have children and other things that the family needs. One yin and one yang are called Tao, and it is not complete. There are also the combination of yin and yang, the feeling of yin to yang, and the feeling of yang to yin. Perhaps some people say, isn't this still yin and yang? If you say this, many things in this world will be difficult to explain. Tai Chi is divided into yin and yang, so Tai Chi is not a simple yin and yang, and the world is not Tai Chi after it is divided into yin and yang."

"I won't talk too much about this problem now. I just tell you that some people like to divide affairs into two and find solutions to problems. It is easier to do this. But in terms of thinking, don't think that the world is like this. We are in Hedong, and this is the same. Don't think that it is based on the people, simply thinking that it is to strive for the support of the people. The two are not the same. Whether the people support or oppose it, we must firmly adhere to the policy of based on the people. Of course, we believe that we will receive the support of the people."

"Hedong area is barren and poor. When the Jin people come, the population fled in large numbers. Many places cannot support us by relying solely on the local people. Therefore, we must first organize the place, gather the population to a certain extent, and build forts. To achieve a small amount of Jin army, it is impossible to go to the countryside to grab food and harm the people. Also, people from Xiangyang must be scattered to the place and farm on their own. The big principle is to disperse, and important counties must have our people. On this basis, gather together in each county, and have defensive facilities. After one or two years, even if the Jin army can break through the city, but cannot survive, they must transport grain from the rear."

"After doing this, we gained the initiative of the local government. According to the arrangement of Jieshuai, this year, we mainly do this in Shenshan, Yicheng, Quwo and Jiangxian counties. At the same time, we guarantee an army of more than 2,000 people in Shenshan. Unless the Taiyuan Prefecture comes, our two thousand troops will be sufficient to ensure safety. When these four counties develop, we will not lack food and clothing, and then take Jiangzhou and Jinzhou."

Fang Chengdao: "Recruiting the pacification, what if the Jin army sends troops from Taiyuan Prefecture and attacks us in winter?"
