Chapter 493: Not afraid of enemies like gods, but afraid of teammates like pigs

Among the girls around Zhang Zhun, the relationship between Chen Lingfei and Zhang Zhun is the most special. When Zhang Zhun saw her, she couldn't help but hit her. The reason may be that she felt that Chen Lingfei liked to dress herself up too much and was a little unemployed. Since the beginning of spring this year, she has been wandering around for more than half a year. It would be fine if she was a gentle little woman like the three sisters of the Yun family, but she was not. She wanted to do business and make money.

Now Chen Lingfei has thrown all the business to Miss Sisi to handle, wandering around and idle. She spends a few days with her sister today, and a few days with her sister tomorrow, and a few days with her gongs and drums. Every woman around Zhang Zhun, including Yang Yinghan, has her own business, but she is exceptional.

However, from another perspective, Chen Lingfei's existence has also given him a little active color. The women around him are each guarding one side, and few people can run around with him, only Chen Lingfei can. She knows how to ride a horse and is quite good at riding. She also likes to run around, not afraid of hardship or fatigue.

She knew a lot, especially the situation in Jiangnan, who was very familiar with it. As long as there was a problem with Jiangnan, there was basically nothing that Chen Lingfei didn't know about it. When she was with Shen Lingfei, there would never be a shortage of topics. So, the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce suddenly appeared.

On the surface, the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce sent it just an ordinary invitation post. The one invited was the eldest lady of the Shen family in Suzhou, which had nothing to do with Zhang Zhun. However, behind the scenes, Zhang Zhun was very clear about the beginning of this new contest.

Zhang Zhun had two solutions to the problem of Jiangnan. One is the most traditional, force, and sent troops to control Jiangnan and forcibly implement the "Equal Field Order". If anyone is dissatisfied, he will cut off his head. Kill all those who are dissatisfied, and Jiangnan will naturally be pacified. The other is the unique economic invasion of later generations. Control Jiangnan economically, forcing Jiangnan to follow him. In other words, it is to tie Jiangnan to his own chariot.

The first method is without any tricks. Just kill and massacre the city like the Qing army went south in the future. Anyway, China has never lacked population, killing and killing until no one resisted. But the second method is more difficult. With Zhang Zhun's current economic strength, if you want to control Jiangnan economically, the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce is only the first step in the Long March!

Chen Lingfei noticed the abnormality of Zhang Zhun's gaze. She subconsciously looked down and found that her clothes had accidentally opened, revealing half of her snow-white chest. Zhang Zhun's gaze fell on her chest. She suddenly turned red and said shyly and angrily: "Rogue! What are you looking at!"

Zhang Zhun didn't look concealed at all, but said generously: "You came to the door, not what I asked for on my own initiative. If I don't look at it, I will be no man."

Chen Lingfei frowned and said, "You should always be lying on your waist, seeing that you are still so fickle."

Zhang Zhun laughed and said, "You don't need to worry about this."

Chen Lingfei pulled the clothes, covered the spring light on her chest, glared at Zhang Zhun. Then she delivered the food to him. Zhang Zhun opened her mouth obediently and swallowed the food. Chen Lingfei suddenly smiled strangely, trying to say something, but in the end she didn't say it. She glanced at Zhang Zhun again and said in a gossip: "Zhang Zhun, are you interested in the Hongmao?"

The infinite spring light in front of me was put away. Zhang Zhun hung his head listlessly and said angrily: "What's your business? Don't be so gossipy, okay? I feel like I'm a boar in heat, and I want to go with it any woman."

Chen Lingfei hummed softly with her straight nose and said mysteriously: "Hmph, I thought I didn't know? Everyone saw it! Even Yang Yinghan could feel it! When you looked at the Hongmao Madam, it was like a big bad wolf seeing a little sheep. Who are you going to miss? When Xiao You gave birth to a baby, Hongmao Madam thought you were going back, and she was always nervous. Later, she simply ran away with Liu Yin, just worried about seeing you."

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said, "Miss Chen Lingfei, you can eat randomly, and you cannot speak randomly. You must be responsible for your own words. It doesn't matter, but you don't slander Hong Niang's reputation. Be careful that she will get angry and give you a sword. Let me tell you that when Hong Niang is angry, she will really kill him."

Chen Lingfei was really a little afraid that the Red Lady would draw her sword, and hurriedly said, "I am just talking to you here. If it is spread, it will be your responsibility. If I am killed by the Red Lady, you will be responsible. Otherwise, I will not let you go if I become a ghost! I will look for you every night!"

Zhang Zhun sneered with a sneer and said lazily: "Don't scare me by being a ghost. Look at how many Tartars I have killed. If a person dies, he will become a ghost. The inside of Yunfengju will have long been occupied by the Tartar ghosts. There are endless Tartars who are seeking my life. Where is your turn?"

Just as a gust of wind blew outside, Chen Lingfei felt a chill behind her neck. Her face suddenly changed drastically, and she hurriedly turned around, but saw nothing. Well, seeing Ning Lingwei was having a meal, she looked straight and didn't care about the two of them. Even so, Chen Lingfei couldn't help but shrink her body, and subconsciously pulled the clothes on her chest.

Zhang Zhun felt bored and said without saying anything: "Don't think about it randomly, okay? There are no ghosts in this world. As long as you walk straight and sit upright, you are not surprised to knock on the door in the middle of the night. I want to ask you, have you found any good husband? Then, I will give you a big gift. I will also celebrating you with cannons. You can sing as many cannons as you are old."

Chen Lingfei said casually: "Now, no one dares to get close to me except you..."

Suddenly, she realized that this was inappropriate and wanted to explain it, but she didn't know where to start. She suddenly realized that since she met Zhang Zhun, no other man around her dared to approach. In secret, they all regarded her as Zhang Zhun's forbidden body, and they didn't even have time to hide. Who dared to talk to her about love? Isn't this life worthless?

Fortunately, Zhang Zhun is sometimes very sensitive, sometimes he is very nervous. He does like women, but he is not the kind of person who is hungry. He also lets things go with the flow and has no intention of forcing it. He casually said: "Be gentle, don't be so fierce, don't be so lazy, don't know how to talk about money with others all day long... Don't you think talking about money hurts a man's face?"

Chen Lingfei raised the corner of her mouth and muttered, "I don't want it! I still think the white silver is more reliable! As long as I have silver, I can do whatever I want, and no one can care about me. I used to have gold ingots piled up in my room, which was particularly sweet when I went to bed at night."

Zhang Zhun turned around and asked Ning Lingwei who was eating quietly and deafing the matter outside the window, "Xiao Ning, do you have any sleeping pills?"

Ning Lingwei said without raising her head, "What sleeping pills? I don't understand."

Zhang Zhun explained, "It's the one you sleep hard after eating."

Ning Lingwei frowned and said, "That's a sweat medicine, which is used to rob a house and open a black shop."

Zhang Zhun hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, that's it. Give Chen Lingfei a few packs and let her take them before going to bed so that she won't be confused all day long."

Ning Lingwei shook her head and said, "There is no such medicine, only in the novel."

Zhang Zhun had to lie on the wooden board in disappointment.

Chen Lingfei looked at Zhang Zhun who was lying on the wooden board like a dead snake, and suddenly thought of something, burst out laughing, and then her face turned red and shy. Perhaps because she was too shy, she had to turn around, and the back of her neck was red.

Zhang Zhun frowned and asked knowingly: "Miss Chen, are you laughing at my waist again?"

Chen Lingfei nodded subconsciously, then felt embarrassed, her face flushed, and she lowered her head and didn't say anything. She wanted to leave, but she seemed reluctant to let it go. This feeling of heat all over her body was a bit uncomfortable, but a little slim and numb, and seemed to feel very touched.

Zhang Zhunyu said earnestly: "Miss Chen, you are young and what are you thinking about in your head? Men and women, besides things on the bed, have many meaningful things. You should learn from me, be honest, have no desires or demands..."

Chen Lingfei blushed and said, "Bah! You dare to say that you are righteous..."

The two of them were having fun, and a bowl of rice was quickly finished. Chen Lingfei put another bowl for him and then pulled it up again. Ning Lingwei was eating next to her, and she could not hear anything or see it, as if a nun had entered a meditation.

Just after the meal, Liu Mang came to report that Li Zhaohui and the others had come back and were asking for a meeting outside. In addition to his five subordinates, there were fourteen other straitors of the official army, totaling twenty. Zhang Zhun wanted to struggle.

Ning Lingwei frowned and said, "You are like this, you can't move around."

Zhang Zhun pondered and said, "That... I'll go out on the door panel..."

Ning Lingwei said bluntly: "You have to make trouble, be careful that there will be no children in the future."

Zhang Zhun was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Ah? What's the point?"

Ning Lingwei couldn't see any special expression at all, and said with a stern face: "My master said that if a man's waist has a problem, it will affect his or her travel or even infertility. You don't have a son yet, and you have not yet completed your relationship with Yang Yinghan. If there is a problem with his or her waist, it will be amazing. Yang Yinghan still wants to give birth to a son for you. If you make trouble yourself, I can't save him or her."

Zhang Zhun looked at Ning Lingwei suspiciously, feeling that this goddess doctor really dared to say anything. She was even more gynecologist than a gynecologist. Well, he was finally convinced that Ning Lingwei must not know what the concept of living room was. It was probably what the medical book said, how she moved here. Such a pure girl would have to be well trained in the future... and she thought about it again.

Chen Lingfei next to her was blushing. This girl used to dress up as a man and went shopping in brothels, so she naturally knew everything. She would definitely think about something wrong when people think about something wrong. She would definitely think about something wrong when others would not think about something wrong.

Zhang Zhun said helplessly: "Miss Chen, you are thinking wrong again."

Chen Lingfei was embarrassed and spat and went out. However, after a while, she quietly turned back, as if nothing had happened. Maybe she didn't even know why she just liked to stay by Zhang Zhun's side. Could it be that she really stayed by his side and felt safe?

Li Zhaohui and others worked hard to bring the Ming army scattered soldiers back, but Zhang Zhun did not meet him in person, which was unreasonable. In the future, the Hu Ben Army would march towards Dongjiang Town and to advance to Liaodong, and a large number of officers and soldiers familiar with the local situation were required. If these people could be incorporated into the Hu Ben Army, the future battle would reduce a lot of resistance.

In the end, Zhang Zhun lay on the door panel and asked Liu Mang and Brother Wei to carry him out. In the battle in Huang County, the people around Zhang Zhun also suffered a lot of losses. Dugu Lie, Huang Xian, Sun Jiming, Lu Yidian and others were all recovering from injuries. Only a few people including Liu Mang and Brother Wei did not lose a single hair on their bodies. It is hard to admire the fact that their lives were really hard.

Li Zhaohui was standing outside in the courtyard waiting for Zhang Zhun to come out. Their expressions were a little sluggish, and their military uniforms were also a little damaged, and they seemed to have been scratched by stones. However, they all tried hard to straighten their waists, making people look like soldiers. Seeing Zhang Zhun being carried out, they hurriedly bent down and saluted, shouting in unison: "Governor!"

Zhang Zhun lay on the door panel, smiled helplessly, and said in a weak voice: "I'm sorry, I was plotted against by the Tartars, but I can't stand up yet, I'm rude."

Li Zhaohui hurriedly said, "Sir, you received us with your injuries... We are so grateful. We are so ashamed that we were not able to catch up with the battle with the Tartars."

Zhang Zhun looked at the people behind Li Zhaohui. His first impression was that these people had a good mental outlook, so he smiled and said, "It seems that you have gained a lot! They are all good men! I like it!"

He once served as a non-commissioned officer for a long time and valued the mental outlook of soldiers the most. An excellent soldier can have no good physical fitness, profound cultural knowledge, and skillful skills in killing enemies, but he must not have a positive and upward mental outlook. As long as you have a correct attitude, strive for progress, your physical fitness, cultural knowledge, and skills in killing enemies can be cultivated later.

Since the establishment of the Sword Fish Squad, Zhang Zhun has always paid great attention to indoctrinating such a concept. Everyone must strive to improve. If you want to live a life of silence, get out as soon as possible! Because, you are not only you, but also your comrades-in-arms on the battlefield! There are too many such personnel in the general Ming army. To sum up a proverb from later generations, it is not afraid of enemies like gods, but teammates like pigs.

Li Zhaohui said excitedly: "The adults have a reputation, and their subordinates are fortunate to live up to their mission."

Zhang Zhun nodded and signaled Li Zhaohui to continue.

Li Zhaohui then took the order and introduced the situation. He gained a lot this time. In just a few days, he gathered more than 1,000 people. When the Tatars entered Dengzhou City that day, many Ming soldiers did flee, and a considerable number of them hid in Laishan, Beiqushan and other places, and did not dare to leave the mountains easily. Because they resisted the Tartars and the Tiger Ben Army, for fear of falling into the control of the Tiger Ben Army.

The arrival of Li Zhaohui gave these people hope. After Li Zhaohui explained the various policies and related treatments of the Hu Ben Army, some of the scattered soldiers joined Li Zhaohui's team. These people were mainly some people who were free and unwilling to work hard for the Tartars, they did not pursue much in other aspects. At that time, there were quite a few such people in the Ming army.

However, some people are unwilling to join the Hu Ben Army. The reason for their unwillingness is actually very simple, it is that they cannot trust the Hu Ben Army. The conditions of the Hu Ben Army sound tempting, but I don’t know whether it is true or not! No matter how you look at it, the treatment of the Hu Ben Army seems to be a bit good and too much. Generally, the treatment of the Ming army is not so good. The gap between the middle is too big, so many people think that this may be a scam of the Hu Ben Army.

It was not until the Huangxian War that this situation completely changed. They watched the entire process of the Huangxian War. Thousands of Tartars and tens of thousands of rebels rushed towards Huangxian. In the eyes of those scattered soldiers, Huangxian must be razed to the ground, and the Hu Ben Army stationed in Huangxian must be destroyed. They all secretly regretted the Hu Ben Army. Even Li Zhaohui was very worried about Zhang Zhun.

The Hu Ben Army had the courage to block the Tartars, which was indeed worthy of respect. However, with less than 3,000 troops, trying to stop the Tartars several times their own, can only be described as a mantis arm as a chariot. According to most people's estimates, the Tartars could take down Huangxian with just one round of attack.

However, the final result was a surprise to them. Not only was the Hu Ben Army not destroyed, but Huang County was not conquered, on the contrary, the Tartars returned in a great defeat. The changes in the middle were too fast and too big, so that many people did not believe it at all. Li Zhaohui couldn't believe it either, and hurriedly took people around Huang County to inspect it himself.

It was not until they saw the corpses of Tartars everywhere that Li Zhaohui and the others finally believed it. In an instant, they were all excited. Even the most hesitant people made up their minds to surrender to the Hu Ben Army. This is the army in their minds!

Zhang Zhun heard Li Zhaohui's story, pondered for a moment, glanced at everyone, and said slowly: "Are you all volunteering to come here?"

Li Zhaohui said affirmatively: "Of course! Sir, you can ask them."

Zhang Zhun looked at a very inconspicuous soldier representative behind him and said casually: "What's your name?"

The soldier stood attentively and said, "Here is Mo Yan."

Zhang Zhun nodded and asked casually: "Why are you willing to kill Tartars?"

The soldier said fiercely: "The Tartars killed three of my relatives. My two brothers and one uncle died at the hands of the Tartars. I want to avenge them."

Zhang Zhun glanced at everyone and said coldly: "I am honored to follow me, Zhang Zhun, kill the Tartars! The Hu Ben Army welcomes all of you to join! But there is one thing I must declare in advance!"

"The Hu Ben Army is very different from the army you used to be. The Hu Ben Army has very strict discipline, very strict skill requirements, and very clear goals. It is not enough to have a passion for you, and you must adapt to our collective. Therefore, I decided to give you three months of adaptation."

"During these three months of adaptation period, if you can abide by the records of the Hu Ben Army and meet the skills requirements of the Hu Ben Army, you are a formal member of the Hu Ben Army. If you think the Hu Ben Army is not suitable for you, you can leave. Or if the Hu Ben Army thinks you are not suitable for you, we will arrange for you to other positions. Do you have any objections to this?"

Li Zhaohui and others were silent for a moment and said, "There is no objection."

Zhang Zhun sent someone to find Hao Linyong and asked him to arrange all these people to various troops, and strictly require them according to the discipline of the Hu Ben Army. The first thing Zhang Zhun had to do for the Ming army that surrendered was not brainwashing, but to remove the military habits they had through strict discipline. Most Ming army officers and soldiers had such bad habits.

According to Zhang Zhun's experience, discipline alone can eliminate many people. One of the big reasons why the Ming army was defeated repeatedly and had weak combat power was that the discipline of the troops was seriously not up to standard. Except for some servants, other troops were like herding sheep. It seemed that Zuo Liangyu's troops were even more bandits than bandits, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. With such officers and soldiers, it would be strange if the court was not defeated.

Without strict discipline, there would be no strict combat effectiveness. This is the most basic military common sense. The British Army in the 18th and 19th century also used smoothbore guns. In terms of range and accuracy, it was not much advanced than the Ming army's firearms, and the number of troops was even smaller than that of the Ming army. However, the British Army was able to sweep the world and became the strongest army at that time.

Why?

It is because the British army has strict discipline.

It is iron discipline to resolutely not shoot within thirty meters.

On the contrary, when facing the enemy, Ming soldiers often kept firing at a distance of 100 meters. As a result, in addition to wasting ammunition in vain, they also exposed their inner tension and fear. As a result, with an attack on the enemy, the Ming army often collapsed.

Of course, discipline is only one aspect, and the brainwashing procedure will be carried out simultaneously. For these Ming army scattered soldiers who were preparing to join the Hu Ben Army, the first thing they had to do was to mow the bodies of the sacrificed Hu Ben Army soldiers and then attend the subsequent funeral.

During the Huangxian War, more than 200 soldiers of the Hu Ben Army died. Their bodies will be sent back to the Martyrs Cemetery in Aoshan City for burial. Some of them will also be sent back to the Martyrs Cemetery in Fushan City for burial. Since Zhang Zhun was injured, Hao Linyong could only be asked to preside over the funeral.

After Li Zhaohui and others saluted, they turned around and left.

Zhang Zhun breathed a long sigh and subconsciously touched his waist. When will it be better for me? Seeing Yun Yi coming, if her waist is not good, she will not have sex! She can only see that she cannot eat. Is this a life for people to live?
