Zhang Liao decisively rejected Yuan Yun's proposal to come together, and led his troops into Zhang's family cemetery tonight, which was originally a violation of etiquette, if he was impeached in the future, then he would be impeached alone, and if Yuan Yun was also involved, it would be worth the loss.

Now that the new city has been on track, Zhang Liao has been in the new city for the longest time, he clearly sees the potential of the new city, if it continues to develop well, the gunpowder army will inevitably become a legendary army under the support of the new city.

And the most important person in Xincheng is Yuan Yun, almost everything originated from him, so there must be no mistakes.

The Zhang family's cemetery is very large, even if Chang'an is not lightly troubled by Li Dao, it can still maintain its integrity, there are walls on the periphery, and there are guards by the children of the Zhang family inside, and ordinary tomb robbers dare not fight the idea here.

Zhang Liao wasn't sure that Duan Xuan would send someone to rob the tomb tonight, but it was always right to prepare early at this moment, so he began to order his subordinates to dig trenches for hiding. What else can you do?

If there is a big chaos today, there are many warlords who take advantage of the fire to rob, and there are even fewer who directly lead the army to dig graves, and it is inevitable that the Zhang family will be worried.

Zhang Liao communicated with the patriarch of the Zhang clan for less than a stick of incense, and then completely lost his patience, so with a wave of his hand, he controlled all the Zhang clansmen.

Patriarch Zhang was furious, pointed at Zhang Liao and scolded: "How dare you do this, do you know that there are also children of my family as officials in the court, and the old man will inevitably impeach Er and others." ”

Zhang Liao did not answer, but let his own soldiers take over all the more than forty members of the Zhang clan, and ordered his subordinates to take their place, and the Zhang cemetery immediately quieted down.

More than 1,000 soldiers hid in the cemetery, everyone was disciplined, no one made any strange noise, everyone was armed with weapons, and patiently hid in the freshly dug tunnel.

Zhang Liao casually took out a few jerky from his arms, and then distributed them to a few soldiers around him, this kind of jerky tastes very good, but because the manufacturing process has not yet been popularized, it is currently only supplied to officers.

As soon as the soldiers saw the paper bag sent by General Zhang Liao, they already understood what was breaded here, it was a good meat dry food, in the past, the big guys were all from the common people, and there was no luxury for meat, if they didn't come to Xincheng to become a full-time soldier, I am afraid that they would not be able to eat such good dried meat for the rest of their lives.

Zhang Liao saw that a few people were undisguised in front of him, took the jerky and began to gobble it up, and immediately smiled bitterly, and said: "I have suffered you on weekdays, but after I go back this time, Yuan Hou will get a breeding farm out, and the meat supply will gradually be complete, and when the brothers go out on the expedition in the future, they will definitely be equipped with this kind of jerky military rations." ”

One of the veterans immediately laughed and said: "I joined the gunpowder army before just to eat a mouthful, anyway, there are many people in the family, and there are fewer people to grab food from them, so you can live one more, who knows that I found out when I arrived in the army that I am the best food in the whole family, and my wife nagged all day long, saying that Lao Tzu threw down a few of them and ran to eat alone, this dead mother-in-law." ”

When they joined the Gunpowder Army, they basically had one purpose, that is, the Gunpowder Army had sufficient food rations, and there was food to be paid, which was simply unheard of.

Originally, everyone didn't take that kind of food and salary seriously, and they had heard of this thing in the past, but the object of distribution was only above the team, and it was impossible for the soldiers to touch the money and food, but the accident was unexpected, and these salaries were really sent to them every month, and there was a lot.

"When I got the salary, I was confused for a long time, and then I was really worried, so I sent our team back, General Zhang, don't laugh, I was holding the two hundred eldest sons, I really felt hot, and I sent the money back to the team, and I was scolded for being bloody."

"Me too, I didn't dare to accept the money when I was handing it out, and I was also scolded by our team, saying that we were cheap bones, and that Yuan Hou said very clearly, this is our basic welfare, and it will gradually become more and better because of military merits in the future."

"Speaking of which, our team is also saying, but I guess no one will believe it, no matter how big the military merit is, the most is to let the family pay less rent, and the money will be fresh, as a result, Wancheng battled, and finally I received fifty yuan, and when my mother-in-law saw the money, she almost went crazy."

Zhang Liao just listened silently and did not interject, this is the time when the veterans sigh to each other, and there is no need for him, the general, to add any more oil or blood, and the morale of today's gunpowder army does not need to worry about the officers at all, because they already clearly know the position of their so-called professional soldiers.

That is a military merit and an income, and there will be absolutely no debt.

Zhang Liao was worried that such a philistine approach would make the soldiers gradually lose their blood, but when Yuan Yun began to arrange political commissars around each team, his worries were put down.

As for how the name political commissar came from, Zhang Liao did not know, but he was very aware of the powerful role of political commissar in the army.

The first batch of political commissars were basically personally trained by Yuan Yun and Jia Xu, and their task was to improve morale and cultivate the sense of glory of the soldiers.

Although this method seems to be unwavering, but under the subtle effect, the result is really terrifying to make people smack, if there is an army that can fight regardless of life and death, then Zhang Liao thinks that the one he leads is.

Now there is a vacant lot in the middle of Xudu New Town, where there is a huge stele, which is engraved with the names of the soldiers who died in battle, and the documents of the new city will be passed on to them, and their families will also receive a relief fixedly, and they will not have the old snacks to drink because of the death of the male owner in the family.

It's just such a stone stele, but the later effect is infinitely magnified, and the people in the city will respectfully salute every time they pass by the side of the stele, and the influence of such an expansion is something that even Zhang Liao didn't expect.

Now some soldiers have begun to yearn for it, hoping that their names can also be engraved on the stone tablet, so they are not afraid of death, they even define death as a sublimation of their own status, and the families and children of these soldiers have also begun to revere the soldiers who died on the stone tablet, and regard them as the biggest heroes of Xincheng.

Hero?

When Zhang Liao thought of these two words, his face was a little gloomy, Yuan Yun, an eighteen-year-old young man, basically did these things heartfelt, to put it mildly, it was demagoguery, and he was the most successful ever.

Thinking like this, Zhang Liao suddenly shuddered, could it be that this is the immortal technique of the children of the immortal family? Otherwise, who would have thought that a stone monument would cost no more than a hundred yuan, but it could bring the army of the entire new city to life.

And after such a trend of thought is formed, it will become a plague-like existence, and any new soldier will soon be influenced by other veterans around him, and then join this trend of thought, even nine cows can't pull it back.

Zhang Liao once saw an old peasant come to Xincheng, hoping that the gunpowder army could send his only son back, after all, the principle of the imperial court would not accept the only son of the people, but even if the officer of the gunpowder army gave a death order, the only son still refused to leave, and lived or died in the team, and would rather cut off relations with the old man than leave his barracks brother.

It's a pity that this story ended up being a tragedy, because the only son was killed by the other party's cavalry on the spot when he expelled Li Dao from Luoyang last time, and although his old father was supported by Xincheng, the old man never smiled again.

There are countless examples like this in Xincheng, and they are really too many to count, all because of Yuan Yun's heart-attacking technique.

Zhang Liao didn't mean to blame Yuan Yun, he just measured Yuan Yun's unfathomable in his heart, no matter what he thought of about Yuan Yun, he always felt very powerful and very smart, and Yuan Yun himself was close to evil.

Maybe as Jia Xu said, there is a teacher like Zuo Ci, Yuan Yun is understandable even if he is a demon, it is rumored that Zuo Ci is a real immortal who can soar through the clouds and fog and scatter beans into soldiers, but he is much more evil than Yuan Yun.

"General, General......"

With the voice of a soldier, Zhang Liao came back to his senses and asked indifferently, "What's the matter?" ”

The soldier smiled and said, "This time, let's crusade against Li Dao, aren't there still many brothers of sword and shield hands?" They asked me to ask, do we still accept people in the Gunpowder Army? ”

Zhang Liaowei was stunned, and immediately smiled bitterly, and said: "No, this time we will recruit a batch after we go back, if your brothers who are sword and shield bearers are willing, you can apply with their commander, so that you can transfer our gunpowder army, but they must be of excellent quality to succeed, and you all know how hard the training of the gunpowder army is." ”

The soldier was immediately overjoyed, and replied: "General don't worry, I guarantee that there is no problem, they are all veterans of the battlefield, and the training of the gunpowder army is nothing if it is hard." ”

Zhang Liao nodded, and then got up from the tunnel, he was going to stand at the position of the sentry post, and it was inconvenient for these soldiers to talk all the time, let alone have a good rest.

Now that the time has passed, no one knows when Duan Xuan's tomb robbers will appear, so they can only work in three shifts, and the soldiers must save enough strength to deal with the huge tomb robber gang of nearly 2,000.

Zhang Liao wasn't worried about not winning the battle, he just didn't want to lose too much, he had been with Yuan Yun for a long time, and now he also found that he didn't want to see his men killed, and it would be great if he could defeat the other party from a long distance without casualties.

The night was relatively peaceful, just when Zhang Liao thought that Duan Xuan's tomb robbers would not come, that group of people appeared at dawn, they were so bold that they could no longer be called robbers, but robbed openly.

It is conceivable that if he hadn't imprisoned those Zhang clansmen in advance, they would soon become the ghosts of this group.
