Although Nantang has been operating for several years, it is the most traffic-saving and ad-free site for mobile phones. Since this crossing of the river was not dominated by the center, he could not rely on the imperial court to give him resources, and even the name of Du He, the "superintendent", was won by Shen Zhezi.

After observing the surroundings of the camp, Shen Zhezi was still very satisfied with Du He's operation, and he couldn't help but be glad that he chose a good person, which was really worth the price compared to Yu Liang. At the same time, he also decided that after returning to Jiangdong, he would find an opportunity to kill Guo Mo.

In the early years, when Yu Liang ran this place, he chose Guo Mo to preside. Later, when he fled, Yu Liang died, and Guo Mo was expelled by Shen Zhezi and fled to Jiangzhou with Zhao Yin. Zhao Yin is Wang Dao's person, who first served in Liyang, and was driven away by Yu Yi and returned to the capital as the general of the guard.

Guo Mo was more embarrassed, although Wen Qiao also accepted him at that time, but he didn't take it too seriously, and he didn't have any outstanding achievements in the chaos last year. Later, Wen Qiao returned to the capital to serve as Shang Shuling, and this person stayed in Jiangzhou. According to those people in Jiangzhou, this person is also quite excluded in Jiangzhou at the moment, and he is not living comfortably.

Yu Yi lacked people to use, and originally wanted to use the old man left by this brother again, but because of Guo Yu's relationship and Shen Zhezi's disbelief in Guo Mo, he gave up this idea. To be honest, it is difficult to make a fortune in the country, Shen Zhezi himself is not resistant, there are too few people who can be as innocent as water at the moment, but the premise is to be able to do things.

Judging from the situation at that time, Yu Liang's operation of Nantang can be said to be an extremely important arrangement, which is related to the safety of Gyeonggi. But this Guo Mo is simply joking with the safety of Jiangdong and the gains and losses of Gyeonggi, so to repay the benefactor, this crime alone, it is not too much to insist on circumcision!

The area named after Nantang is actually very large, although Duhe has eliminated a considerable number of bandits hiding in it, but in fact, only a small part can be defended. And because he was afraid that the action would be too eye-catching, he did not continue to advance further north, and chose a river valley near the left to settle down.

The camp is located on the east side of the Tushui River, and once it encounters a strong enemy and cannot resist it, it can directly carry important people and things onto the boat and go straight down into the river. To the west is the tidal flats, which are difficult for boats and horses to travel, so they can avoid sudden attacks. To the south is a low hill where large cavalry formations are no longer formed, and they can be used to engage opponents.

From the location of this camp alone, it can be seen that Du He is really attentive, not only to repay Shen Zhezi's kindness, but also to operate this place as the foundation of his own work.

When Shen Zhezi and his party entered the camp, the sky had already darkened. Because Du He ordered not to publicize the news of the arrival of the horses, not too many people in the camp knew about Shen Zhezi's arrival, but due to the arrival of new supplies, the whole camp was still filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

When people live in difficult circumstances for a long time, the sense of expectation inevitably decreases. There is no shortage of sons of families who were originally guards, and they were assigned to this side because of killing and plundering, and the living environment here is far from being comparable to Jiankang. After surviving the hardships at first, they gradually got used to it, and like ordinary soldiers, they rejoiced when they saw a large amount of supplies enter the camp.

In addition to being flawless, for them, it also means that they have not given up, and if they can fight hard and wash away the sins of their early years, they may not have a complete future in the future.

The entire camp was divided into three parts, one part was the main combat force of Du He who crossed the river, and the troops originally provided by Shen Zhezi for it, plus the drills and selections in the past six months, there were already more than 2,000 people. Although it is not a feared strong division in Jiangbei, it is also invincible in the left and near.

The other part is the criminal soldiers and subordinates from Jiangdong, who are also organized into battalions, which are not only the laborers of reclamation, but also the soldiers who assist in the war. Another part of them were the displaced people recruited after crossing the river, because of the dispersion of people's hearts, these people could not be used as soldiers, and they had to be strictly prevented from escaping, so they were arranged in the innermost part of the camp, and they were also organized into a team, and they were the main labor force in the camp.

Overall, although Duhe's part is still difficult to call a strong town in Jiangbei, at least the basic prototype has been built. And because of the abundant financial support in Jiangdong, the growth space is much larger than those local dock walls.

At night, the generals gathered for dinner, and many people knew that the horses had also arrived, and the atmosphere in the banquet was very warm. Duch also made an exception and allowed those who were not on duty to drink three buckets per person, and the atmosphere was very cheerful for a while. Xiao Yuandong crossed the river this time, saw many major events in the capital, and then talked about what Shen Zhezi presided over in Shen Yuan, and everyone also clamored to speak, and there was no lack of ideas for his ancestors to make a name for themselves.

"Today, I am in the war with you, and I will no longer make those Jiangdong lies. The so-called Zhongxing celebrities are just the last generation of Chongxuan, and they don't have to be overly focused on the game. In the coming day, to recover Shenzhou and settle the Central Plains, that can really be called the great cause of Zhongxing! At that time, it will be the real historian's good pen, the magnificent song of Han Zuo! ”

Shen Zhezi smiled and picked up the wine bowl and said to everyone: "At that time, I hope that I will be fortunate to be famous with you on the Huazhang, and it will be passed down to the world, and it will be glorious in the past and the present!" ”

"Encouragement! Drink to win! ”

The drinking did not last long, and the generals went their separate ways under the orders of Duhe.

Although it was already late at night, Shen Zhezi had no sleep. Jiangbei is a new battlefield for him, and even all his past efforts are to pave the way for crossing the river. Therefore, he was eager to understand all aspects of Jiangbei's information, so he forced Du He to talk deeply.

"The fact that the horses can cross the river in person is indeed a great excitement and encouragement for people's hearts! Although my generation has no lack of ambition to create, but he has grown up in this township and has not made contributions for a long time, and his will will inevitably slacken. What's more, the trend of the Karma Day is great, the old people are more estranged, and the court is less feat, although it is resilient, the people are embarrassed! ”

Recalling the lively atmosphere at the banquet just now, Duch couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Although for ordinary soldiers, although the life across the river was hard, there was no too tragic war. However, for Duhe, he is facing a great enemy every day, not only to plan and operate in a wasteland, but also to watch out for enemies that may emerge at any time, and more importantly, to maintain morale.

Once a person has no support of ambition, the consequences are very serious, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a walking corpse. Although Du He had the experience of guarding the family business in Guanzhong in his early years, now his subordinates are much more complicated, and his thoughts and thoughts cannot be generalized, and he must use different methods to inspire different people. In order to maintain morale, he spent more energy than anything else.

"Daohui, you have done a good job, and it is commendable to leave your hometown without collapsing yourself."

Shen Zhezi first affirmed Du He, and then said with a smile: "Confucian children are willful, and strong men have no bravery." The spur of military law and the face of a thousand people is a strategy for governing the army and is indispensable. But if you want people to really work together, you still need to feel it personally. For example, when I have been in the capital for a long time, I occasionally hear folk songs and slang, and I can't help but go to the singer to comfort my homesickness. ”

While speaking, Shen Zhezi took out a pamphlet and handed it to Du He: "Recently, I have been in the capital, and I have been thinking about how to motivate people. Hearing the sound of the hometown and gradually leaving the feelings, the human feelings are the same, no exception. If you can make people strong and martial villagers, take heroism as the country song, and sing it, it is enough to be strong and fierce. ”

In the booklet are some military songs compiled by Shen Zhezi, and it is not new for military songs to encourage morale nowadays, and the ancients have long had insights into the infection of people's emotions through music. Like a rousing drum, it can be used as a command to command the army and mobilize people's emotions.

Shen Zhezi refines these military songs, such as daily drills, returning to the camp to rest, turning off the lights at night, and lining up for dinner. As for the lyrics, they are all ready-made, such as Hu Wuren and Han Daochang, with high tunes and full of emotions, which can not only stimulate people's strength, but also subtly strengthen the education of nationalism.

Although singing can't directly turn the army into a million-strong division, this kind of thing itself is beneficial and not costly, so why not do it? Moreover, the morale of the army and the sense of identity in the hearts of the people are themselves created bit by bit.

Of course, Shen Zhezi's main purpose of crossing the river this time was not to teach people to sing. After a brief explanation of this matter, the specific situation facing Duch's department will be discussed.

"The Northland has been chaotic for a long time, but in fact, all parties are not too strong to belong to the king. In the past, I also sent famous posts to all parties according to the advice of the horse, but few people responded, and more people still did their own thing, and even warned me not to violate the border. ”

Speaking of the psychology of these dock masters, Du He was also a little helpless. Of course, these people can't be criticized for being disloyal, to be honest, as far as he is concerned, if it weren't for his family offending the high-level officials in the Karma slaves, even if the countryside was captured, it would be a big deal to surrender the Karma, it was really because the Jiangdong Imperial Court's appeal to the people of the time was too poor, and it did not show the heroic feelings of the Central Plains that were bound to win and were inseparable from the Karma.

"At present, near Nantang, there are still three remains. One is the local old family of the criminal clan, who gathered villagers to build forts on the mountains, gathered thousands of people, and there were thousands of people who could fight. However, he has never interacted with the outside world, and the court has repeatedly used it without response. One is the remnants of Yuzhou, unwilling to go north, unwilling to go south, entrenched in the old city of Chuxian County, gathered 3,000 people, unpredictable. The other one is in the east, according to people, it is the Guangling County Gong Chen clan Shuzong, and has frequent contacts with various families in Huaidi. ”

Du He also talked about the specific personnel that the department is facing at the moment: "Among these three, the Xing family is difficult to use, and the Chen family is arrogant and difficult to understand. As for the old city of Chuxian, it is difficult to reconcile the hearts of the people, I have been communicating for many days, selected the internal response, and is preparing to gather people to discuss it in the near future. ”
