【Chapter 109】When necessary, it is still necessary to show off
After Wang Shoulu died, all aspects of Weizhen Fort seemed to be changing. This kind of change is not superficial, not material, but mainly reflected in the spiritual outlook of each person. It was as if the dark clouds that were pressing on everyone's heads were swept away by the sudden wind, and most of the military households in Weizhen Fort were quite excited. Idiots know that Xu Xingxia is much better than Wang Shoulu when he comes to manage Weizhen Fort.
When Wang Shoulu was in charge of Weizhenbao, he only knew how to keep asking for it, and he only knew how to constantly bully other military households. With the exception of a few of his relatives, the rest of the military family did not have any gains. The military households in Weizhenbao have been in arrears for longer than in other places. If it weren't for Zhang Qiuqing's support, Wang Shoulu would have been killed by angry military households. Now, he has been killed by the bandits, and he is full of evil and deserves it.
As we all know, the other two hundred households in Weizhenbao are all indifferent, that is to say, the current Weizhenbao is actually Xu Xingxia has begun to take charge. Of course, if Zhang Qiuqing comes back, it will be Zhang Qiuqing in charge. However, Zhang Qiuqing should not come back. As for whether other 100 households will be sent over to take charge, it is unclear for the time being. Even if there were really another hundred households coming over, the military households would be more willing to follow Xu Xingxia.
The requirements of military households for their superiors are actually very simple, that is, to be able to seek benefits for them. Specifically, it is to be able to protect their safety, to be able to obtain arrears of money and food for them, and to be able to take care of them when there are good things. Xu Xingxia fully meets this condition, except for him, no one is more suitable to come to the home of Dangwei Zhenbao.
The military household collective of Weizhenbao, using the military model of later generations, is almost the strength of a battalion. It's just that because every officer and soldier brought their own family members, it will look so bloated. The relationship between each other will become so complicated. If all the family members are temporarily separated, the relationship will be much simpler.
It seems that everyone feels some kind of hope, some kind of anticipation. They are all hoping that Xu Xingxia can gather them as soon as possible, announce the relevant news, and determine this matter as soon as possible. Since the morning, the military households have been accustomed to gathering in the barn yard to wait for Xu Xingxia's arrival. However, it is a little strange that they waited and waited, but they never waited for Xu Xingxia to appear. With the passage of time, more and more military households gathered on the barn field, and almost all the military households came.
Although there were many people in the barnyard, at least more than two hundred, there was no noise. After all, military households are military households, which are different from ordinary civilian households. Military households are disciplined, and they may be more casual and lazy in normal times, and not too many people care about discipline. However, in the event of a major event, the discipline of the army must be enforced. Otherwise, once the boss gets angry and wants to drag one or two out to behead the public, there will be no place to avenge their grievances. Therefore, at this moment, everyone is very conscious of the discipline of the army.
It wasn't until noon that Xu Xingxia's figure belatedly appeared. He came deliberately very late. When necessary, he still has to show his identity. This is the most basic requirement. If you don't show it like this, you won't be able to highlight your identity as a hundred households. Some military households may not respect you enough. Of course, there is no need for excessive ostentation, just a slight ostentation.
Seeing Xu Xingxia's arrival, the military households in the barn hurriedly moved out of the middle position. Some military households also put a square bench in the middle of the barn. The function of the square stool is not to sit, but to stand. As long as you stand on the square bench, you can basically see the mountains at a glance and look at each military household condescendingly. In the past, Wang Shoulu liked this feeling very much.
Xu Xingxia came to the center of the barn and waved his hand, asking people to move the square stool, there was no need. He glanced at each military household calmly, and said calmly: "Everyone, due to the unfortunate death of Wang Shoulu's hundred households, if there is no accident, in the future, I will be responsible for the defense and security of Weizhen Fort." I, Xu Xingxia, have no other ability, but to try my best to ensure everyone's safety and try my best to get the arrears of money and food for everyone. Now, I'm going to rearrange the affairs of Fort Will. ”
Xu Xingxia's opening remarks are nothing special. There is no nonsense, and he made it clear what he came to do. The military households below all listened quietly and did not speak. They all know very well that the key is not what Xu Xingxia said, but what he did. In the past, Wang Shoulu was very able to speak, and he had to be believed by the military households, right?
The original structure of Weizhen Fort was as a subsidiary of Pingyu City, and the staffing was basically equivalent to one-third of the entire Thousand Households. There are 1,000 sub-households, 300 households, 3 general flags, and a number of small flags. However, due to the insecurity of Weizhen Fort, many officers stayed in Pingyu City and were reluctant to come to Weizhen Fort. Therefore, the officer system at Fort Weizhen basically did not exist.
The Weisu army of the Ming Dynasty, generally speaking, carried out the ratio of three points of military and seven points of tuntian. That is to say, only 30 percent of military households need to be on duty for combat readiness, and the other 70 percent of military households are mainly engaged in farming. The Pingyu was a little more special, because it was located at the forefront of the fight against the Tatar cavalry, so the ratio of five points of military and five points of tuntian was carried out.
Over time, this ratio has been largely disrupted. It's like Fort Weizhen, there is no distinction at all. All the military households are from Tuntian. In the past, those who were arrested and stationed at Niujiaodun were all captured and strong, but they did not receive any military training. Strictly speaking, they are simply peasants who take up arms, without the slightest fighting power. If this were not the case, the Tatar cavalry would not have been in a no-man's land.
The reason for all this is largely due to the fact that there are not enough officers at Fort Willing. Well, to be precise, there are not enough capable officers. There are still officers who can get by. Without strong officers, the operation of the guard post will naturally not be smooth, and many things cannot be done. Over time, it becomes a plate of loose sand.
When Wang Shoulu was there, he was nepotistic, and when he needed to do something, he arranged for his relatives to come forward. Of course, if there is a benefit, it is also the first thing that comes to mind of one's relatives. Slowly, around him, a small group of relative reading power was formed, and outsiders could not join at all. In general, in the era of Wang Shoulu, only a small part of Weizhen Fort was functioning normally. Most of the other military households are outside this system.
What Xu Xingxia has to do now is to make all the military households in Weizhenbao operational. Each has its own role, each has its own responsibility, and everyone has their own use. The vast majority of the military households in Weizhenbao are capable, and if they all operate, everyone can play their role as much as possible, and the creativity is still considerable. To do this, all the corresponding officers must be reappointed.
As for the original officers of Weizhenbao, Xu Xingxia didn't care. Whether they continue to stay in Weizhen Fort, or if they are dissatisfied and want to move to Pingyu City, in short, as long as they are incapable, want to mess around, and want to get by, they will fuck me off. Anyway, Fort Willtown doesn't need such a person to exist.
"Now, I want to reappoint six general flags, twelve small flags. Each general flag is responsible for 50 households, and each small flag is responsible for 10 households. Today, the general flag will be selected first. The selection of small flags is carried out in the next step. Xu Xingxia said briefly.
As soon as these words came out, the military households below were suddenly a little stunned. Appoint the Flag! Xu Xingxia himself is only a hundred households, and he actually wants to appoint the chief banner. It's all self-inflicted. However, no one felt that Xu Xingxia was entertaining them. If Xu Xingxia wants to have fun, he can go to the Tartars, and he doesn't need to come to them at all.
Xu Xingxia glanced at each military household and said in a deep voice: "What do you want to do so much?" Do you think that those officers who are not even in Fort Weizhen will sincerely do things for Fort Weizhen? Since they don't do things, then we have to choose people who do things. I can tell you unmistakably that these elected flags are all for doing things, not for benefit, and I have nothing to do for you. ”
After a slight pause, Xu Xingxia continued: "If you don't believe me, you can not participate in the selection. However, I must warn you. Even if you don't participate in the selection, you can't make trouble. Otherwise, I'm not welcome. Everyone here, it is better to remember that we are military and disciplined. Violation of discipline will inevitably result in military law! ”
The surrounding military households, you look at me, I look at yours, with a silent face. From Xu Xingxia's words, they felt a strong killing intent. The newly appointed boss of Weizhenbao is really different, and he has to engage in military law at every turn. In fact, Xu Xingxia's words are basically unnecessary. Those who were there were all his supporters. Who will make trouble? Isn't this that I am impatient?
Chen Denglong stood up and said angrily: "Lord Baihu, don't worry, we don't eat mixed rice." You're here to lead us, and we're all glad we did! ”
The other military households all nodded, agreeing with Chen Denglong's opinion. In fact, in their hearts, they also want to reorganize the hierarchical order of Weizhen Fort. The original level is fundamentally in name only. It's just that they don't have the ability and the courage to do it. Now, Xu Xingxia took the initiative to carry out this work, which is the best.
