Chapter 175: Comfort is our worst enemy
75 Comfort is our worst enemy
(I don't want to say more, just ask for a collection of subscriptions, ask for support!! )
Zhang Ergouzi really did not restrain and arranged his subordinates to be on duty, and these guys had already dispersed in a hurry by now, and they were all over the Zhuangzi. vdt.
They won't be able to find it back for a while, and as for tonight's sentry duty, it is estimated that they have forgotten it all long ago.
Bang Bang Bang ......
"Ahh......h It hurts ......."
As soon as the day dawned, in a house in Zhouzhuang, there was a burst of slapping sounds of boards and buttocks, as well as the sound of screams and moans.
In this mansion, Zhang Ergouzi and more than a dozen white dragon sergeants were lying on the stool one by one, and they were whipped down vigorously by the men holding whips on both sides.
Zhang Ergouzi spent a whole night last night, and finally found all the dozen or so soldiers who were responsible for standing guard in Zhouzhuang.
Zhang Ergouzi led these dozen soldiers to find Quartz early and accept the whipping that Li Zixiao punished him last night.
After Zhang Ergouzi accepted the whipping, he was directly whipped to the end by Li Zixiao and sent to Dong Zhuang's baggage camp to raise horses.
Zhang Ergou's face was blue and his lips trembled for a long time before he endured the anger in his heart, hugged Li Zixiao and received the order, flicked his sleeves and turned around and limped to report to Dong Zhuang.
Zhang Ergouzi thought that Li Zixiao was just talking in anger last night, but he didn't expect to really let him raise horses, he was really unhappy with this kid.
Zhang Ergouzi thought that he was an old man who started in the White Dragon Army, and he had worked hard a lot, but he just made such a small mistake and punished him so severely, he felt unfair in his heart.
However, Zhang Ergouzi didn't know that in his opinion, it was not a small mistake, but in Li Zixiao's eyes, it was a very serious mistake.
This kind of arrogance and lax combat readiness is what Li Zixiao is most unwilling to see, especially for a new armed force like theirs.
He would never allow this kind of unhealthy tendencies to breed in his ranks, otherwise how would he fight against the army sent by the imperial court in the future.
Zhang Ergouzi thought that Li Zixiao was severely punishing him this time, but he didn't know that Li Zixiao was completely merciful.
Just because Zhang Ergouzi was an old man who started with him, Li Zixiao made such a punishment, if it was someone else, Li Zixiao would directly pull him out and cut him.
Looking at the back of Zhang Ergouzi leaving, Wei Hong on the side cautiously persuaded Li Zixiao: "Big boss, you can't blame Zhang Ergouzi for today's events."
After all, the brothers beat Zhou Zhuang, this is all relieved, it is inevitable that there will be some slackness, and it is understandable, if you punish him like this, I am afraid that the two dog brothers will feel uncomfortable! ”
Zhou Dazhu, who rushed over after hearing the news, couldn't help but plead for Zhang Ergouzi: "Big boss, this Zhang Ergouzi's incident today is understandable, will it be ...... if you drive him to raise horses like this?"
Li Zixiao raised his hand to stop Zhou Dazhu's unfinished words, and snorted coldly: "You don't have to say more, I have my own measure in today's affairs."
After entering the village, I gave an order to be careful, but Zhang Ergouzi had the right to take my words as a deaf ear, and I got carried away, and I didn't even arrange a night sentry, so I should give a lesson, otherwise I will miss a big thing in the future.
We seem to be in a hurry now, winning battles and reaping a lot of gains, but in fact, we have a knife hanging over our heads.
The officers and soldiers of the imperial court don't know when they will come to encircle and suppress us again, and we must not allow the slightest slack at this time.
Today I just want to take Zhang Ergouzi to remind everyone, don't win a few battles, you will get carried away, now is not the time for you to be proud and complacent.
In the future, if anyone violates military rules and discipline, Lao Tzu will be punished as severely, and no one will be allowed to intercede. Also, look at all the fuss you guys made last night, you've had enough of it.
Now that the sky is already dawning, it is time to converge and converge, Quartz ordered the trumpeter to blow the morning trumpet, and everyone must gather in the Zhou family's mansion after half an hour.
Whoever fails to arrive will receive the penalty for his own stone, and the penalty will be doubled, and all the rewards after the war will be cancelled. ”
After Li Zixiao said this, he flicked his sleeves and left.
These hands looked at each other, watched Li Zixiao brush his sleeves away, glanced at each other, and saw a trace of awe-inspiring look in each other's eyes, and they all shook their heads, and immediately dispersed.
Soon, the news of Zhang Ergouzi's dismissal had spread throughout the White Dragon Army, and everyone was quite shocked.
Wei Hong, Zhou Dazhu and Liu Chong all listened to Li Zixiao's stern tone, and they all took the initiative to restrain their subordinates, so that the chaos in Zhuangzi was suppressed and order began to be orderly.
Doodoo ......
With the sound of the loud trumpet, this is the morning drill of the White Dragon Army, and the White Dragon soldiers scattered all over Zhouzhuang hurriedly rushed towards the Zhou family compound where the trumpet came.
Half an hour later, Li Zixiao sat quietly in the courtyard of the Zhou family, waiting for all his subordinates to gather, and saw the soldiers who were disheveled and didn't even wear shoes.
Li Zixiao's brows furrowed tightly, but in the end, he was still very relieved, because he brought more than 500 veterans, 500 recruits, and nearly 200 auxiliary soldiers of the Axis Battalion this time.
In the end, except for nearly fifty wounded and killed soldiers, only a dozen of the remaining people did not arrive in time, and all of them were new soldiers, not a single veteran.
This result somewhat made Li Zixiao's face look better.
According to his order, Quartz beat the buttocks of the dozen or so recruits in front of all the soldiers of the White Dragon Army, screaming again and again, reminding everyone.
Subsequently, the White Dragon Army also began to deal with the aftermath of this battle.
Batches of male and female captives of the Zhou family were taken out of various compounds and taken to one compound for unified custody.
Quartz sent six guards to watch over them, and all the departments began to restrain their subordinates, so that Zhoujiazhuang, which had been noisy all night, quickly quieted down after dawn.
At this time, Li Zixiao also convened a meeting of his officers for the first time after the war.
Li Zixiao sat on a large chair, with a teasing smile, looking at the officers who walked into the hall one by one.
When some people saw Li Zixiao's indifferent face, they didn't dare to speak loudly, they were a little nervous, and carefully stepped forward to salute Li Zixiao, and stood on both sides.
After all, this morning, Li Zixiao took Zhang Ergouzi and those dozen recruits to open the knife, and the shock effect was quite good.
When he saw that his subordinates were all together, Li Zixiao coughed lightly and said: "My promise has been fulfilled, I guess you all relaxed well last night!" ”
The guys all laughed dryly, Zhou Dazhu still scratched his head, and said: "This damn rich woman is really thin skin and tender meat, it's really fucking cool, hehe!" ”
After hearing his words, everyone laughed.
Li Zixiao didn't scold these guys, after all, they were all a bunch of bachelors, everyone had needs, and everyone knew this kind of thing.
And for the people of the Zhou family, Li Zixiao has no apologies at all, they are enemies, they have been kings and defeated since ancient times, and the losers will not end well.
As a woman of the Zhou family, this is also their misfortune, there is cause and effect, it is their luck to be born in a big family like the Zhou family, and it is also their misfortune to be born in a big family in troubled times.
Women are always victims of war, and this sentence does make sense today.
Li Zixiao laughed at these guys for a while, then raised his hand to stop them, and said coldly: "Okay, since you have relaxed last night, it is time to concentrate and do business today."
I'm afraid everyone already knows about Zhang Ergouzi's incident last night, I can allow you to relax appropriately, but I will never allow anyone to abolish the public for personal reasons.
No one is allowed to neglect their duties and relax their war preparedness, we have only achieved a small victory, and some people have carried away a little.
The government is now concentrating its forces to encircle the rebels from all walks of life, and for a while they just can't take action against us, so we have such a good time here.
But you have to remember that as long as the government withdraws its hand, we will never be allowed to commit such a big case, although the walls of Zhoujiazhuang are built solidly, but here is extended in all directions, and it is very easy for officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress.
I hope you will remember this, we are far from the time when we can sit back and enjoy the fruits of victory, and last night I thought about it all night and figured it out.
Comfort, comfort is our biggest enemy, and we finally repelled the first encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers with our own hands.
After breaking through the forts of these landlords and old wealthy, and getting a lot of food, we don't have to starve, but it is not time to enjoy comfort.
This kind of thought, this kind of behavior is very terrible!
We now have a little strength, but our little strength is just a drop in the ocean for the officers and soldiers, and even for those righteous armies from all walks of life.
In such a troubled world, if we can't always be vigilant and strict with ourselves, we will be wiped out at any time, and everything we have worked so hard to earn will come to naught.
Before, we defeated the officers and soldiers of the Suiyang Guard, thwarted the first wave of encirclement and suppression of the government, and now Zhouzhuang has been broken by us, I think the news will spread soon.
As the largest family in Yongcheng County, not to mention that Zhou Laocai's eldest son is still an official in the capital, and the government will never sit idly by with us in the future.
Compared with the second encirclement and suppression of the government will come soon, Kaifeng Mansion and Fengyang Mansion are not far from here, if the news reaches Kaifeng Mansion, I estimate that the government will soon react again.
We don't have much time to waste, and we must make all the preparations before the second wave of government encirclement and suppression, which will be a new challenge for us. ”
As Li Zixiao spoke, the expression on his face became more and more serious.
No one in the entire hall dared to speak, and they didn't even dare to gasp, only listening to Li Zixiao talking solemnly there alone.
Listening to Li Zixiao's words, everyone's expressions immediately became serious, and there was no one with a hippie smile anymore, because they felt that Li Zixiao's words were reasonable.
They have committed such a big thing again, if they want the government to have no reaction, it is simply impossible, Zhouzhuang is different from the Zhuangzi of other big households, it will be broken if the pole is broken, and the government can't control so much.
But the fact that Zhouzhuang was broken is different, even if the Kaifeng Mansion can't draw troops now, it will never sit idly by, and what will follow will be a thunderous revenge.
Li Zixiao can let his subordinates relax appropriately, after all, they have been tense and easy to get too tired.
But Li Zixiao, as the big boss, is not as indulgent as them, but is thinking about the future of all the brothers, which makes everyone a little ashamed.
Li Zixiao said what he wanted to say most at this time, what he was most afraid of, not losing the battle, not having no money and food, and not the second wave of encirclement and suppression when the officials and troops returned next.
As long as the team in his hand does not disperse, what are he afraid of if he loses the battle, he will have to start over.
Look at Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, even if he has the famous general Han Xin in his hands, as well as good ministers like Zhang Liang and Xiao He.
But isn't he also defeated again and again, defeated again and again, and in the end, he didn't win the last battle and take the world.
As for the lack of money and food, it is even more nothing, as long as he has soldiers in his hands, Huaxia is full of landlords and old wealth at this time, and he is afraid that there will be no money and food!
What Li Zixiao is most afraid of is comfort, this thing is simply more terrible than thousands of troops, it can corrode people's hearts, and turn the originally fierce and mighty warriors into cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death.
It can make an invincible and invincible army of rebels who are not even willing to pick up swords and guns, let alone expect them to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
Especially bandits and rebels like them, who are more likely to be eroded by comfort and the glory and wealth in front of them.
In history, they marched all the way, swept through China, and finally almost took over the world, but in a short period of time, they were eroded by comfort and did not even want to pick up the sword and gun, and the rebel army lost the world in vain, there are few such examples!
Not to mention it far away, let's just say that at this time he was alive with Li Zixiao, and at this time he was still fighting bloodily with the officials and soldiers in the ravines and ravines of Shaanxi.
This guy is the most typical case, Li Zixiao doesn't want to repeat Li Chuangwang's mistake one day, so he has to give his subordinates a wake-up call in advance and get a vaccination.
In fact, this phenomenon is also normal, these bandits, after all, the rebels used to be poor peasants, and they couldn't survive, so they fell into the grass and rebelled for a bite to eat.
They are uneducated, they can't even read, and they are short-sighted, so they will get carried away and not want to make progress after they can eat and have a full stomach and no worries about food and clothing.
If left unchecked, no peasant rebel army will escape such a result in the end, so Li Zixiao must be vigilant against this from now on.
He will never allow such signs to appear in his team, once he appears, he will ruthlessly strangle them, and today Zhang Ergouzi is an example.
But fortunately, Li Zixiao passed the collective inspection this morning and found that his subordinates had not yet shown such signs, which of course was also related to the strict military regulations he formulated.
At the same time, Li Zixiao is also making second-hand preparations for preventing this, that is, his practice of forming a youth army.
He wants to teach the group of young people under his command to be a group of young generals who are infinitely loyal to him, have knowledge, ideals, and responsibilities, and these people will support the backbone of his army in the future.
After Li Zixiao's words were finished, these people immediately stood up and shouted: "Understood, big boss, please just ask the big boss to do it!" ”
Li Zixiao nodded and said, "Very good, you can figure out my good intentions."
Han Tong, let the brothers of the scout team work hard, scattered around Zhouzhuang to be on guard, and if something happens, immediately report back!
In addition, you send some people to Wangjiazhuang, Hanjiazhuang and other big towns to take a look, don't let us run away from these 'fat pigs' this time, and then we will slaughter who will go." ”
"Hahaha!" Li Zixiao's last words caused his subordinates to laugh.
