The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

At the beginning of February of that year, Bai Lingen died of illness, and most of the huge Bai family was destroyed.When the letter reached Chengtian Mansion, Jia Cong was worried that Gong Sanyi would be uncomfortable, so he hurriedly dragged Gong Kun to the Mansion.

When he got there, he looked around, and the old man just thought about it and brought up the matter of Beringen handing over the soldiers and horses to Situ Yazhi, the princess.He said: "There is no soldier talisman, so we can't move soldiers."

Jia Cong laughed and said, "Why do you need a soldier talisman? Just have someone train your soldiers!"

Gong San also took a look at him: "What's the use of training if you can't deploy troops?"

Jia Cong asked, "Who pays for raising soldiers?"

"Of course it's from the Bai family."

Jia Cong blinked: "Will those people from the Bai family be willing to come out? I bet three pieces of walnut cake, it will definitely be pushed to the Zhan family in a short time, at least more than half."

"What's your idea?"

"Not for now." Jia Cong said innocently, "Isn't that a soldier of the Bai family?"

He guessed right, once Bai Lingen died, his grandsons were unwilling to pay for the support of soldiers, so they immediately pushed it against Zhan's family.Zhan Qi is not a rich man, obviously he cannot afford to support soldiers.The generals are all men, and it is inconvenient to see the princess himself.Raising soldiers is a matter of burning money, and the barracks will be stretched in the blink of an eye.Soldiers are not property.At first there was still food in the battalion, but the supply of armor and firearms was cut off, and the soldiers' salaries were paid for by the generals themselves.After two months, even eating is troublesome.Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Beringen's lieutenant He Damo hesitated to see Gong Sanyi.

But at this moment, someone came to report that dozens of carts of grain and grass came outside, and they were stopped by patrols.He Damo was overjoyed and patted his horse and rushed over.When I got there, I couldn't see the end of the mighty grain trucks at a glance.As soon as he looked up, his smile froze.

The leader is Bai Lun.But this man bowed his hands solemnly and said: "I heard that the difficulties in the army are the fault of my Bai family. Here are sixty carts of grain and grass. Although the salary is a drop in the bucket, it can always last for a while. I will think of other ways later."

He Damo sized him up a few times, and said with a sneer, "The general really said that we don't want to kill you." Suddenly he took a few steps forward to stick to Bai Lun, raised his hand and slapped a dozen of his ears!Bai Lun was immediately beaten into a pig's head and stared at him dumbfounded.He Damo sneered, "The general never said he wouldn't beat you!" Nai Duan shouted, "Get lost!"

At first, Bai Lun suspected that his uncle knew what he had done, but since he had seen him for so long, he thought that the old man was just suspicious and never told anyone.This time Fang knew something was wrong, so he ran away without saying a word.After running for a dozen steps, he turned around and called his men to drive the grain truck back.

He Damo stared at him as he walked away, gritted his teeth and said, "If you see this person again, hit me! As long as you don't kill him, it's fine!"

Because the soldiers had heard that the granary was getting empty, they had already rushed to tell everyone that there was food, but they waited for a long time and nothing came in, so they felt a little uneasy.He Damo sighed softly, and discussed with the rest of the generals to pool his private money to buy food first.Everyone said: "It's just not a long-term solution." He Damo sighed again, helpless.

Just at this time, the soldier came in and reported: "The grain cart outside just now turned around again!"

He Damo said angrily: "How dare you, rat!" He strode out of the tent, jumped on his horse and ran all the way to block the grain convoy.

When I got to the front, I saw that the convoy was still the same, but the leader had changed.The county horse Zhan Qi sat at the front, smiled and said, "I'm going to see how the camp is doing. It just so happened that someone sent food over and the general didn't accept it. How can his family get so much food? I bought it at a discount. It's a good deal."

He Damo was overjoyed, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Jun Ma!"

The soldiers watched their general and the grain carts coming together from a distance, and they were overjoyed, and those who liked to be lively ran to the front to watch.He Damo accompanied Zhan Qi into the camp, and said loudly: "The county horses have brought us food!" The soldiers yelled in unison.

Zhan Qi clasped his fists on the horse and said, "General Bai came too hastily, and he hadn't greeted Zhan before, so Zhan was unprepared. These days, Zhan got a sponsor, although it's not much, he won't be hungry Bros."

He Damo couldn't help asking: "What is sponsorship?"

Zhan Qi blushed and said, "My nephew's family is mediocre, so I went to find my clan brother Zhan Kun. The clan brother has quite a lot of property in Taiwan. He is a very good person and is willing to support our army. He said that those who are willing to give money to others to do things are called sponsors. Nai coughed and said to the soldiers, "It's just that he has two conditions."

He Damo's face darkened: "What condition?"

"First, strict military discipline." Zhan Qi said, "General Bai's military discipline is strict, but after all, there are still people who bully the people." He took a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to He Damo.

He Damo took a look, it said that theft, rape and adultery were not allowed on it, which was not much different from Beringen's original military regulations, some of which were slightly looser, and said: "Our military regulations were originally the same."

Zhan Qi said: "However, the law enforcement is not strict, and the surrounding people are disturbed from time to time. My brother said that he is willing to sponsor the soldiers who defend the country, and he is not willing to spend money to support the ruffians. As long as our military discipline is strict, money is not a problem .”

He Damo thought for a while: "It's easy to say. What else?"

"Secondly, he hopes that the brothers will help the common people to do some good deeds when they are free, such as helping people repair houses and fetching water. We are all strong men, and there are many people. Some people have few people. The family is extremely troubled, and the soldiers can easily solve it with just a few people. It should only be rewarded for his generous donation of money, food and firearms, and good for good."

He Damo frowned when he heard the word "firearms"!Ever since the men of the Bai family refused to give money, he thought he would never get a firearm again.Busy said: "This matter is getting easier."

Zhan Qi nodded: "My nephew said it's not difficult." Then he greeted and took the sixty carts of rice to the warehouse first.

He Damo hurriedly invited him to sit in the camp, but asked him how much his clan brother could give.Zhan Qi said: "He has a huge business in Taiwan, so it's not difficult to raise some people. Anyway, since General Bai entrusted his brothers to the princess, and my nephew is the husband of the princess, her affairs are naturally my affairs."

He Damo said happily: "The general really entrusted the right person!"

"It's just that my nephew also knows that there are a lot of soldiers and bandits in this army."

He Damo snorted: "It's just that I don't have time to clean it up, just wait for me to clean it up a bit."

"Okay." Zhan Qi said, "As long as the military discipline is strict, money and food will be easy to handle."

He Damo did what he said, and immediately started to deal with those bastards, the military law is much more serious than before.Ten days later, Zhan Qi came over with a list, which recorded in detail the things that the soldiers of the Bai family had done wrong outside in the past ten days.Although not named, the victims are clearly listed.

He Damo suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "There are so many!"

Zhan Qi said: "Don't blame the general. My nephew knows that such things as not paying for wine are nothing in the barracks. Han Feizi said, the embankment of a thousand miles collapses in an ant's nest. Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty said, don't be too small Don't do it, don't do it because of the smallness of evil..."

He dropped his book bag for half a day, talking about it, He Damo's head hurt, and he said hurriedly: "The general understands the meaning of the county horse! It's just that the food in the army is eating fast, and it seems that the soldiers are about to be paid."

Zhan Qi pointed to the list and said with a smile: "The above things are gone, and everything is easy to handle."

He Damo understood that if the people under them did something that violated military discipline, the rich man Zhan Kun would not give money.I can only say: "The final general will find out who these are, and deal with them by military law!"

This time he really worked hard, otherwise he would have nothing to eat.Ten days later, Zhan Qi came again and took out another list.There are a lot less than ten days ago, but there are still.He Damo was furious, and checked carefully according to the list, and all those found out were kicked out of the barracks.And tell all the soldiers: whoever is still doing bad things outside, the whole army will not be paid!Everyone knows that the Bai family doesn't care about them now. This county horse surnamed Zhan has a wealthy brother who is willing to give them money and food, but the military regulations are extremely strict.In order for the entire army to support their families, they dare not mess around.One is afraid of starvation, and the other is afraid of being beaten to death by brothers.

Ten days later, when Zhan Qi came back, there was still a long list on the list.He Damo saw that his eyeballs were falling out: "These are all beating wives and children! They are not bullying the common people!"

"There is another one who beats Lao Tzu." Zhan Qi said, "My brother's military regulations clearly say that we should not bully old and weak women and children. Isn't their own Lao Tzu an old man? Aren't their own wives and children women and children?"

He Damo shook his head and said, "These things are family affairs, how can we control them."

Zhan Qi thought for a moment and said: "Maybe General He summon all the brothers to listen to my nephew?"

He Damo snorted: "The county horse is now the leader of our army, so follow the county horse." He called up the whole battalion of soldiers and asked Zhan Qi to speak on the high platform.

Zhan Qinai stood with his hands behind his back: "Brothers, my surname is Zhan, I would like to ask, what are the soldiers for?"

The soldiers looked at each other.

He went on to say: "I, like all brothers, was born as a child, and gradually grew into a man, and will always grow old in the future. My wife, Princess Yazhi, was also born as a child, and gradually grew into a woman. In the future, she will grow up with me and become a pimple-faced old woman." Someone was laughing below.

"The world is not peaceful today. There are bandits inside and foreign soldiers outside. When encountering these, some men in their prime can deal with them, while others can't. For example, I, Zhan Qiben, a scholar, probably can't beat Bandits." Someone laughed. .He said solemnly, "Children, old people, and women are rarely able to beat bandits and foreign soldiers. These children, old people, and women may be your children, parents, wives and sisters. If they encounter bandits What should foreign soldiers do? Are they waiting to be killed, robbed and raped?"

The soldiers shouted: "No—"

Zhan Qi said loudly: "That's why you are here!" He waved his right hand vigorously, "Soldiers are used to defend the country!"

"Coax—" There was a burst of cheers.

When the cheers subsided, Zhan Qinai said: "Military regulations say that you should not bully the old, the weak, women and children, because these are all weak. Who will bully the weak? Only when they are weak will they bully the weak. Because they can't beat the stronger ones." If the soldiers are all weak, can they still win against bandits and foreign soldiers? What is the use of such an army? Therefore," he said with a sullen face, "it is an iron law not to bully the old, the weak, women and children. Those who beat their wives, children, or even their mothers are violating military regulations! Whoever can’t beat their brothers in the camp will beat their wives, children, and mothers to vent their anger, and they can leave now! Our army does not support such incompetent people. coward!"

"Wow~~" The soldiers started talking again.Zhan Qi cupped his fists on the stage, turned and left.He Damo was stunned for a long time, and gave a thumbs up to his back.It's all right this time.Anyone who beats his wife and children becomes unable to beat his brother and goes back to find the weak to vent his anger. Who can afford to lose this person?

For another ten days, there were no more beating wives and children.Zhan Qi came over with a smile on his face, pressing the grain cart, and there was a whole cart full of silver.He Damo couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

The money and food are just the beginning.Brother Zhan Qina's clan was really rich, so he sent him several times in succession, including enough food, armor and firearms.The food also improved immediately, and there was meat in every meal, which was much better than when Beringen was in the past.It's just that he didn't know where he got such a well-informed news that whoever committed something outside would immediately deduct ten days from the supply of the entire army.Who dares to mess around?Even if the general spared him, the brothers would not.

Then Zhan Kun sent a new camouflage military uniform, saying that it was made after the soldiers of the Taiwan government. It was very majestic and beautiful, and let them try it.He Damo had already seen the military uniforms of the Taiwan government, and he also found it convenient to move around.In the early years, he asked Bai Lingen if he wanted to imitate it, but Bai Lingen was unwilling.Although there are some people in their battalion who don't like the new military uniforms, the new military uniforms have a great advantage-it doesn't cost money!The uniforms of ordinary soldiers are all their own.Since this Mr. Zhan is willing to make clothes for them at his own expense, why not?After discussing with the generals, He Damo said that the whole battalion praised the new military uniforms as excellent.Sure enough, Zhan Kun made three sets of military uniforms for each of them, and sent them five sets for the generals.

After a few days, Zhan Qi discussed with He Damo again, asking him to line up [-] people every other day, every [-] people in a team, to go around the city of Hong Kong for a day, to do something for ordinary people.He Damo thought about it, it was just a trivial matter, so he agreed.It's amazing when this happens!The new military uniform was originally in good spirits, but it also helped the common people with work, and even sent clothes and meals to the orphans and widows, causing a sensation in the whole city in the blink of an eye.After returning from a trip, many boys received shoe soles stuffed by big girls.He Damo became more and more happy, and said to his soldiers: "General Bai really did not entrust the wrong person! How could the other little bastards have such thoughts? The little general Bai has been taught by the princess and the county horse, and he will be a good man in the future." Man!"

A few days later, Zhan Kun heard that few of them even the generals could read and read the art of war, so he said repeatedly, "How can it be done? The children of ordinary people have all studied." They hired thirty gentlemen to come In the camp, he specially taught the soldiers to read and write.All the generals grinned with laughter.Thirty people are really too few to teach the whole battalion.Zhan Kun invited another 170 one after another, and finally invited [-] gentlemen.Although these gentlemen do not live in the camp, they are all very close to the camp.Apart from giving lectures in the camp, the soldiers would often go to them for advice after training.

Zhan Qi himself usually does not come to the barracks when he is in the barbarian army, let alone join the army. He only comes when he is sending money, food, armor, etc.He Damo and others were not even half wary of him.
