Chapter 450: Confucius

Zhaoqing County, Cangcheng County. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On August 14, Zhao Yan led the Leizhou County Garrison Division and arrived in Cangcheng County on time. Along with the garrison division, there was also a large amount of grain, grass and military supplies.

If it weren't for the escort supplies, the garrison division would have arrived a day earlier.

After Zhao Yan took charge of the Leizhou County Garrison Division, he did not slack off. In addition to cooperating with the government to arrest robbers, clean up the bandits, and suppress the resistance. On a daily basis, Zhao Yan did not relax the training of the division.

The grace of the prince and the marquis, like mountains and seas, promoted him from an ordinary soldier to the high position of division commander. If he doesn't make any achievements, Zhao Yan will pass the hurdle in his heart.

This iron-blooded man has an innate love for the military.

On weekdays, Zhao Yan trains to the death, and he will copy the set he learned at the special operations training base to the garrison division and regiment, and implement it meticulously.

According to Zhao Yan's words, although the garrison division is a local garrison force, it cannot practice itself, and must be trained according to the standards of the field army and be ready to go to the battlefield at any time.

After repeated drills, the soldiers of the garrison division naturally complained bitterly.

But the soldiers' respect for the division commander Zhao Yan is increasing day by day. Except for those who eat and wait for death, in the military, there is no man who is willing to be inferior.

The soldiers of the garrison divisions, like the field army, were reorganized from prisoners of war. They are all from the same background, so why can they enter the field army, enjoy higher salaries, and be equipped with better equipment?

They are not convinced!

The sons and daughters of the garrison division are holding back a lot of strength in their hearts. They trained hard every day and night, and then tested the results of their training by suppressing bandits, and worked hard to improve their ranks and combat effectiveness.

So that one day, they can return to the main battlefield and raise their eyebrows.

Hard work pays off.

No, here's your chance!

When the military order was received, the entire division and regiment were boiling.

The training intensity of the Leizhou County Garrison Division is not much worse than that of the field army. Although the combat strength of the divisions and regiments is not as good as that of the field divisions, it is still comparable to the allied forces.

On the same day, Bai Qi was outside the city and inspected the Leizhou County Garrison Division.

Rarely, Bai Qi smiled.

Affirmed by the general, all the officers and men of the garrison division were even more enthusiastic. For the upcoming big war, instead of being afraid, he is full of anticipation.

Recently, the Military Affairs Agency has been working on the development of a military merit system.

Previously, the awarding of titles by Lin Yi and other generals was Ouyang Shuo's first attempt to reward military merits. In the future, the object of reward will be expanded from division commanders to brigade commanders, battalion commanders, and even squadron commanders and fire commanders.

But those who make meritorious contributions will be rewarded.

The Military Affairs Administration has already spread the news that the military merit system will be officially implemented in the Battle of Zhaoqing. Although this battle has changed dramatically, it is a good opportunity for good men to make contributions.

Needless to say, this gossip was quietly released by Du Ruhui.

In fact, the formulation of the entire military merit system, where can Ouyang Shuo, the sovereign, be spared. The specific progress, Ouyang Shuo knows better than anyone else.

The first draft drawn up by the Military Affairs Administration is still on his desk, waiting for review.

The formulation of a military merit system is not a trivial matter, in addition to involving the welfare of the military, there are other related systems, such as the military rank system.

There are three kinds of rewards for meritorious service: money, military rank, and military rank.

As for the title, Ouyang Shuo does not yet have this authority.

Money alone is closely related to military spending, and it cannot be decided by patting your head. Once it's set, it can't be changed at will. Wan must be high, it is estimated that Yingyu will find Du Ruhui desperately.

The soldiers' salaries have been the envy of the common people. In addition, if the reward for meritorious service is set too high, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction in other industries, especially the civilian clique.

If it's set low, it won't work.

After all, if there is no certain temptation, how can you let the soldiers take their lives to Bo?

However, Ouyang Shuo thought of a compromise solution, that is, to appropriately lower the reward of money, and appropriately supplement it with an honorary reward such as military rank.

In fact, for generals above the battalion level, the allure of honor is much higher than money. Didn't you see that when Lin Yi was named General Huwei, how many generals were red?

Therefore, in order to formulate a military merit system, it is necessary to work out a military rank system together.

In the meantime, how can it be settled in a while?

Apparently, Du Ruhui set off a smoke bomb.

Du Ruhui's move was also to boost the morale of the front-line soldiers, and his original intention was good, so Ouyang Shuo did not object. It is only to urge the Military Affairs Administration to improve this system before the end of the campaign.

Ouyang Shuo must not lose his trust in the soldiers.

When Du Ruhui got the news, he frowned bitterly and asked the prince for mercy.

Unfortunately, the prince was indifferent.

What is it called?

Hang as high as Haman.

Now that the prince has already issued an edict, the entire Military Affairs Administration can only stay up all night, paying attention to the front-line war while stepping up the establishment of the military merit system.

As a last resort, Du Ruhui was still cheeky and went to the army to borrow someone. Otherwise, he really can't keep himself busy. Fortunately, the soldier saint Sun Wu was good at talking, and transferred more than a dozen instructors to the Military Affairs Department for temporary emergency.

The next day, the news of the southward movement of the Allied forces reached the headquarters.

The Allied march south was again unexpected, at least a week earlier than he expected.

I'm really anxious!

Inside the tent, Bai Qi stared at the map of Zhaoqing County, contemplating and pondering.

On the map, the three points of the garrison of Shanhai City are marked in red. They are located in the west and the left army is stationed in the county of Yuangu; Cangcheng County in the middle, and Genglou County, which is located in the east and where the Right Route Army is stationed.

Cangcheng, Waist Gu and Genglou three counties, each other is a horn, Waist Gu County and Genglou County are less than 200 kilometers away from Cangcheng County, the headquarters of Cangcheng County, if you march urgently, you can reach it in two days.

Above the three red dots, is Tianshuang County.

A thick black arrow stretches from Tianshuang County to Cangcheng County.

The allied forces moved south ahead of schedule, so Bai Qi had to make a choice, whether to continue to hold on to the three counties, or to concentrate the whole army in Cangcheng County to jointly resist the enemy.

All morning, my white eyes did not leave the map.

……

In the afternoon, military orders were transmitted to the master groups through the post station.

Obviously, Bai Qi has already made a decision.

The general ordered that the Fourth Division of the Longxiang Regiment and the Leizhou County Garrison Division stationed in Cangcheng County immediately pull out the camp and go to Yuangu County to station.

The Second Division of the Longxiang Regiment stationed in Yuangu County, after handing over the defense area, immediately left Yuangu County and made a detour to the outskirts of Genglou County, where it was concealed and stood by at any time.

As a result, the troops of Yanggu County and Genglou County have been strengthened, but Cangcheng County, which is the command center, only left the Tianshuang County Guard Division, which is not even complete.

Could it be that this is another empty city plan directed by Bai Qi?

The military order specifically mentions that the flag of the main general must be erected at the head of the three cities.

Cangcheng County is naturally a big banner raised by the general; In Xianggu County, the banner of Xuanwei General Mu Guiying was erected; The last Genglou County is to erect the banner of the general Han Xin.

There is no doubt that Bai Qibu has set up a game.

As for whether the Allies will be trapped, we can only see when the Allies arrive on the battlefield.

**********

August 15, Shanhai City.

Just when the battlefield of Zhaoqing was filled with gunsmoke, Shanhai City ushered in a big man.

The most holy Confucius, with his disciples, traveled all the way to Shanhai City. And just the day before, Han Feizi of the Legalist family had also quietly arrived in Shanhai City.

The "handles" of the two schools of Confucianism and law finally gathered in Shanhai City.

Everyone knows that the Controversy Conference is about to enter the most exciting [Controversy] link.

In the past half month, according to the arrangement of the controversy conference, the princes first plunged into Tibet, retreated for a week, and immersed themselves in hard study to understand the development and achievements of each family and faction in each dynasty and generation.

I have to say that it has indeed benefited a lot.

Especially in Confucianism, the study of scriptures in later generations, but there have been several major developments.

Immediately after that, it is to move to the hundred pulpits.

All schools and factions can come to the pulpit and expound their own doctrines and propositions. The premise is that the content of the exposition must be new, and if it is still the previous proposition, then there is no need to take the stage.

The most striking thing is a preaching by Wei Ying.

As one of the representatives of Legalism, and the founder of the in-depth influence of the Warring States and even the unification of the Qin Dynasty, Wei Ying, as the new capacity of the director of the internal affairs of the Southern Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate, ascended to the podium of a hundred schools of thought to expound the new ideas of Legalism.

The experience of Shanhai City and the impact on Wei Ying are undoubtedly huge. Many of his previous ideas have been revised, or rather guided by the situation.

Historically, Wei Ying's strategy in the Qin State was a farming strategy: the common people either farmed or became soldiers, and there was no third way to choose. Everything is in the service of war.

Emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business is the national policy formulated by Wei Ying. The strict torture law is the whip of Wei Ying.

Everything in Shanhai City is impacting Wei Ying's inherent viewpoint.

The development of commerce in Shanhai City makes Wei Ying dizzy. Interestingly, agriculture in Shanhai City is also booming. Agribusiness parallelism does not seem to contradict each other.

The thinking of this Legalist giant has changed.

Of course, the core idea of the rule of law is still as solid as a rock. What has changed is the means, the strategy, and the specific way of implementation; What remains unchanged is the foundation of the rule of law.

There is no doubt that Wei Ying's preaching won a full house. Mencius, Xunzi and other Confucian scholars who were listening quietly left with solemn expressions.

The next day, Mencius ascended the pulpit.

Interestingly, what Mencius expounded was the ethical relationship between the aborigines and the aliens, which in turn led to the legitimacy of the alien lords.

It has to be said that Gaia really created a group of "monsters".

Here, it's definitely a compliment.

Think about it, Mencius and others are representatives of wise men in history, and now they are given five thousand years of basic memories, and they are in the magnificent maelstrom of the game world.

In this way, can it be strengthened and strengthened?!

The first meeting between the two families ended in a draw. (To be continued.) )
