Chapter 4 Miserable
Sun He's words suddenly realized what Tang Ning said, and it was indeed that he was too worried.
Although he had never been in contact with a soldier before, he also knew that orders were forbidden, and that it was the duty of a soldier to obey orders.
Unconsciously, he was already in the army and became a not very qualified soldier of the Great Song Dynasty. However, his mentality has not changed, and he always feels that the group of soldiers under his nose is just a group of ordinary people wearing armor and holding weapons......
After a little thought, Tang Ning found with some sadness that this was exactly the case.
What do you do on weekdays?
The tasks assigned by the troops generally include road repair, wall repair, city building, land reclamation and grain transportation, and other labor. It's basically dirty work.
And when there is no task, they do everything.
The turtle in the green building, the cook in the restaurant, the shopkeeper in the restaurant, and basically the place where the manpower is used, they are all there.
It is not an exaggeration to say that they are ordinary people.
It's a group of runaways and homeless people raised by the state, not ordinary people, what else can it be?
We said a long time ago that the Song Dynasty had more disasters and famines than other dynasties, and there were more servitudes, so the displacement and escape became a big headache for the rulers.
I don't know which genius came up with the idea to organize these guys into an army, and the macho man will be transferred to the forbidden army, or gather together to form an elite, and gather enough people to form a new forbidden army.
The rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled are cannon fodder in wartime and engaged in infrastructure construction in their spare time. It is equivalent to the state paying salaries and raising a group of coolie troupes with displaced people and prisoners as the main components, integrating combat and construction.
Tang Ning's current group of people are these old, weak, sick and disabled.
They all walked crookedly and couldn't bear to look at them directly, and there was actually no problem with treating them as ordinary people wearing armor and holding weapons.
This is also the reason why it is rare for generals of the forbidden army to drink the blood of soldiers, and it is not uncommon for generals of the Xiang army to drink the blood of soldiers.
is a group of homeless people, and it is not easy to have a full bite to eat, so what other requirements can there be?
However, there are still some thorns in it, such as Wang Zhi, who is now frightened all day long, for fear that he will suddenly jump out and kill him with a knife.
So these wines, which gave Tang Ning a headache, were of great use in Wang Zhi's hands.
He took advantage of the fact that Tang Ning and Sun He returned to the account to get the statistical books, and asked someone to distribute them to the soldiers. The soldiers looked at him as if they had seen a ghost, looking at the amiable smile on his face, and rubbing their eyes desperately, as if they had seen him for the first time.
Of course, his fate was also very miserable.
After Zhou Huai and Liu Ling came back, they stood side by side, one pointing at Tang Ning and the other at Sun He, and scolded the two of them for being bloody.
Tang Ning also received twenty military sticks, but the soldiers saw that Tang Ning treated everyone better on weekdays, and his subordinates showed mercy, and Sun He, who also suffered twenty military sticks, needed someone to help him walk.
As for Wang Zhi, the initiator, his chest and back have been whipped to a mess by thorns, and his ass has also been beaten.
It's not sitting, it's not lying down, it's not lying down. The official position was also taken away, and the whole person now looks very painful.
Tang Ning was supported by Guo An, limped to Wang Zhi, who was standing to recuperate, and gritted his teeth and said, "You are harming me!" ”
Wang Zhi
The corners of his mouth twitched: "Brother Tang, there is no way, only in this way can I save my brother's life." You just endure it, endure it......"
"Bear with your mother's head!"
was beaten with twenty sticks for no reason, and was scolded by the master, and no one could stand it. Wang Zhi's selfishness, through this matter, Tang Ning can be regarded as completely clear.
He regretted it a little, obviously when this bastard sold his house, he should have seen this man's ugly face clearly.
Wang Zhi laughed miserably: "Brother Tang, brother, I know I'm sorry for you." But if I don't use these things to buy the hearts of those who have resentment against me, I will die sooner or later.
Rather than throw away your life, you should suffer a living sin. Official position or something, it's a big deal that Lao Tzu goes to the battle array to pick up heads, and he can also earn some military merits and come back......"
Now say three words to this person, and less than two sentences can make people angry to death.
Tang Ning glanced at him hatefully, and was carried back to the tent by Guo An.
Zhou Huaizheng was holding a copy of "Sun Bin's Art of War" and reading it with relish, Tang Ning came in, he raised his eyebrows, snorted and said, "Do you have a long memory?" ”
Tang Ning was helped by Guo An to lie on the mattress, and after Guo An retired, Tang Ning wailed: "I was careless in making friends!" ”
Zhou Huai put down the book and said coldly: "You are not allowed to drink alcohol in the army, and three-year-old children know it." It is a good thing for you to be considerate of the soldiers, but to be arrogant to the soldiers will only make them proud soldiers.
If you give him one bowl of wine today, tomorrow he wants two. How do you supply in the long run?
If you give him a bowl of wine today, tomorrow you will give him another bowl of wine. If one day it is broken, and the soldiers are dissatisfied and mutinied, how will you deal with yourself?
"Wenzi" said that there are five soldiers in the world: there are righteous soldiers, there are responding soldiers, there are angry soldiers, there are greedy soldiers, and there are arrogant soldiers.
The king of the righteous soldiers, the soldiers should win, the angry soldiers are defeated, the greedy soldiers die, the arrogant soldiers are destroyed, this heavenly way is also.
You must remember that you must not be arrogant to the soldiers, otherwise you will eat the bitter fruit sooner or later. ”
Tang Ningxin said that this was the old man's feeling after reading "Sun Bin's Art of War", and he just threw it on himself.
But he said aggrievedly: "Where did I think this would happen, I didn't want to give them a drink." Brother Sun and I went to get the book and prepared to record the amount of wine one by one, but after a while, Wang Zhi's bastard had already ordered people to send the wine down.
I am a victim, Master, I am an innocent drop! ”
Zhou Huai was furious, grabbed something and was about to throw Tang Ning, and when he saw that there was a book in his hand, he hurriedly put it down distressedly. After thinking about it for a long time, he took off his shoes and threw them to Tang Ning, and said angrily: "The old man in the art of war told you to see it, look at what you said, and you took the old man's words as a deaf ear!"
I'm! ”
Tang Ning hurriedly raised his hand in surrender and said, "Master, I watch it every day according to what you said, you can't wronged me!" ”
"A soldier is not useful for a hundred years old, but he must not forget it for a day. If you had read it, would you still say such things?
The old man asks you, what is the first sentence of "The Art of War"! ”
"Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be overlooked."
"Have you inspected your soldiers? When the old man leaves, he has to send someone to hand over the seal trust to you, so that he can leave with confidence.
Although Wang Zhi is nominally on the same level as you, he is actually controlled by you. He could send someone to distribute the drink without your permission, wouldn't he?
Your dereliction of duty?
If you command a large army in the future, and someone else does this, it will not be a distribution of drinks, and when the time comes, someone else will rise up and take your head! DID YOU KNOW? ”
Zhou Huaidu was about to be angry, and he felt that Tang Ning was completely unaware of the seriousness of this problem.
If this happened in Runzhou City, among the servants of Tang Ning's family, Zhou Huai would not say a word.
But when this happened in the military, the problem was very serious.
When was it time for a soldier under a commander to bypass his commander and act alone?
Just thinking about this thing makes me feel like my head is going to fall off, isn't this how Emperor Taizu put on the dragon robe when Chen Qiao?
Tang Ning had no experience, and Emperor Taizu was a famous general who had been through a hundred battles before this, and such a thing as loose military discipline would definitely not happen in his army......
Thinking of this, Zhou Huai shook his head vigorously, he couldn't think about it anymore, and it would be terrible to think about it anymore.
Seeing that the master was so angry, Tang Ning hurriedly got up and apologized to the master: "Master, the apprentice knows that he is wrong. ”
Although I don't know what I did wrong, the way of coaxing the elderly and coaxing women can be said to be the same way. Regardless of whether there is a mistake, it is certainly not a mistake to admit it first.
Of course, admitting that you can't do something is a matter of opinion......
Zhou Huai sighed and said, "Don't think that Master is making a fuss, it's all for your good."
As a teacher, he made many mistakes when he was young, and he didn't take them to heart. Now that I think about it, if I could have learned the lesson then, I would have avoided many detours in the future.
Tang Ning, I am a teacher, I don't ask how good my disciples are, and in the future, they can be ranked as the third duke, or be the marquis and worship the prime minister. I only wish my apprentices would take fewer detours that I have taken.
I'm forty-nine years old, how many years do I have to live? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been cheeky enough to ask the official family for a comeback. ”
"Master......" Tang Ning subconsciously had a sour nose, and tears just began to roll in his eyes, and suddenly he felt that something was wrong, how could this atmosphere be the same as explaining the aftermath?
So Tang Ning hurriedly said: "Master, you will live to be a hundred years old, you are only forty-nine, and half of you have not survived, there is no need to say these words in a hurry, and when I am also full of gray hair, it is not too late for you to say these words to me." ”
Zhou Huai smiled and said: "Your kid's mouth is real, it makes people happy when it's pleasing and it's fatal, and when it's angry, it can make people half angry."
The old man has never accepted an apprentice seriously in his life, and the only one he has accepted is you, but he has opened his mouth with two mouths.
I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse for the old man. ”
"Naturally, it's a blessing." Tang Ning scratched his ass and said, "In the future, Master, whatever you like to hear, I will say." ”
"Hmph, don't be poor, if you have this kung fu, it's better to read the art of war book well. Even if you don't command the army in the future, some of the principles in the book will be good for you. ”
Tang Ning called out to hit the sky: "My good master, I really listened to your words, and I am reading the military book very seriously."
I don't believe you're testing my ......" The last sentence was said in a small voice, and I think this person was a little weak-hearted.
"Cheng, what is the second sentence of "The Art of War"?"
“…… Master, will you wait for me to make it happen? ”
"I'll kill you scoundrel!"
