Han’s Son is Not a Slave

The Qing army besieged the city outside the city, but the army inside the city was shaken by rumors. Without even thinking about it, Zhou Shixiang set the goal of deliberately spreading rumors on Shao Jiugong and Li Fuguo. These two are the ones who are pushing for breakthrough, and the situation in the city today has nothing to do with them.

Zhou Shiquan immediately wanted to send someone to take Shao Jiugong and Li Fuguo to ask them what they wanted to do!

However, Duke Xiang of Song advised him not to send troops to take it, saying that he did not know whether the two were really behind the scenes, and whether they had any hands. Not to mention that Shao Jiugong is still a hundred households in the Xiongwei Camp, leading his troops to guard the South Gate, and his men even have confidants who were born in Jiangxi Green Camp.

Li Fuguo used to be the commander-in-chief of the Gaoyao Green Battalion. After the Taiping army broke Gaoyao City, he led the rest of his troops to surrender. In order to win over and strengthen the Taiping army, Zhou Shixiang ordered him to serve as a guard camp for a trial of 100 households when the five battalions were reorganized, and he also had more than 100 subordinates. Gao Yao was a subordinate of the Green Battalion descending soldiers. If not handled properly, it can easily lead to disasters.

The current Xinhui City could not withstand a little change, let alone internal strife. After weighing it, Zhou Shixiang accepted Song Xianggong's opinion and ordered him to secretly send people to investigate the source of the rumors, so as to avoid the Taiping army's internal discord due to too rash actions. stable.

At the same time, Zhou Shixiang felt that it was necessary to hold a city-wide military-civilian meeting to clearly inform the soldiers and their families of the movements of the Taiping Army.

The best way to deal with gossip is to make it public. The Taiping Army had never held a military-civilian meeting before, and Duke Xiang of Song could not understand what a military-civilian meeting was, but he supported Zhou Shixiang to hold this meeting for no other reason. In this city, there is indeed a need for an open and honest talk between the army and the people, and Zhou Shixiang is even more needed. The chief officer personally came forward to explain everything to the military and civilians, and told them what to do!

At the same time, Zhou Shixiang made a request to Song Xianggong. This request was to ask Song Xianggong to select some people from Houying Ying Lao, Ying Guan and others to serve as the Taiping Army's Anjun.

The name "An Junshi" is very new, and Song Xianggong has never heard of it. Looking at Zhou Shixiang with a puzzled expression, he asked in astonishment, "Why is the An Junshi?"

"An army envoy, as the name suggests, is an envoy who plays the role of stabilizing the heart of the army. Of course, this messenger does not refer to the kind of messenger who acts as an ambassador for exchanges between the two countries, but an envoy who represents myself in the army."

"The mission of the Anjun envoy is not only to stabilize the hearts of the army, but also to have a grasp of the soldiers' thoughts. This idea specifically refers to the emotional changes of the soldiers. The subdivision is that the Anjun envoy must be absolute on weekdays. Master all the situation of the soldier, including his origin, past experience, etc. The most important Anjun envoy must gain the trust of the soldiers and resolve all difficulties outside the battle for the soldiers in time. Of course, the Anjun can not interfere with the chief officer in the army. In the same way, the Baihu and the general banners cannot interfere with the duties of the Anjun envoys.”

At the moment, Zhou Shixiang explained the work of the political commissars in the later generations of the army in a concise and clear language to Song Xianggong. Strictly speaking, the "Anjun Envoy" created by Zhou Shixiang had no different responsibilities from later political commissars. The difference was that the former represented his mastery of the army, while the latter represented a certain force.

This rumor about breaking through the siege led to the instability of the army, which touched Zhou Shixiang's decision to introduce the political commissar of later generations into the Taiping Army, but it is undeniable that the introduction of the Anjun envoy also has another private idea of ​​Zhou Shixiang, that is, he thinks it is necessary to strengthen his own attitude towards the army. Master, to ensure that everything in the army is headed by him, and any existence that contradicts him cannot and is not allowed.

Although the Taiping army is still very weak, although the life and death of the Taiping army is still unknown. But Zhou Shixiang had already made up his mind to do so. After briefly introducing the An Jun envoy, Zhou Shixiang ordered Song Xianggong to select a candidate to serve as the An Jun envoy in an unquestionable tone.

The candidates to serve as the Anjun envoys can not only be selected from the battalion veterans and battalion managers in the rear battalion, but also from the war battalion. In short, all the people in the city who can read more than 100 characters can be candidates for the An Jun envoy.

Song Xianggong asked how many Anjun envoys were needed and how the battalions were arranged.

Zhou Shixiang pondered for a while, and said that each team should have an Anjun envoy, also known as an Anjunliang;

As a result, according to the Taiping military system. If 20 soldiers form a team, five teams form a team, and five teams form a battalion, then a battalion needs 1 An An ambassador, 5 An An army middle envoys, and 25 An An army small envoys, a total of 31 people. The five battalions add up to 155 men.

In order to facilitate the Anjun Envoy to better integrate into the army and coordinate the relationship between the top and bottom, Zhou Shixiang also designated the Anjun envoy as the small flag of the test, the middle ambassador of the Anjun army as the general flag of the test, and the ambassador of the Anjun as the temporary official position of the test hundred households .

In addition to ideological work in the army, the An Jun envoy also has to shoulder the responsibility of maintaining military discipline. If the soldiers make mistakes, the An Jun envoy will first interrogate them and then report their opinions to the chief officer, and finally Zhou Shixiang will deal with them personally.

After Zhou Shixiang talked, Duke Xiang of Song was a little dizzy. In addition to feeling that this Anjun envoy played a great role in grasping the hearts of the army, he also felt that there were a lot of officials coming out this time.

Song Xianggong frowned and said a big problem. The Taiping Army was originally an army composed of bandits and poor people. How many literate people were there? In the back camp, there are some highly respected camp veterans who are literate and literate, and there is even a scholar who is famous. There are literate people in the camp management, but the number is too small. According to Zhou Shixiang's needs, there will be 155 An army envoys at once. Where can he find in a hurry, and he can pull up the guys from the public library army. 30 is amazing.

This question also gave Zhou Shixiang a big headache. Yes, no matter how good his idea is, someone must be able to implement it, otherwise it will be a castle in the air and will not be implemented.

When the Taiping army started to fight Luo Ding, it was forcibly coerced some gentry, but these people were mostly stared at the back camp after being deprived of their property. Even if these people are really willing to come out and serve Zhou Shixiang, Zhou Shixiang would not dare to use them!

A great man of later generations said that the more you read, the more reactionary you will become. There is definitely a problem with this statement, but it is the truth in this era. why? Those gentlemen belonged to the landlord class with land and houses, and they depended on the blood of the poor to make a living, and they were expected to help the Taiping army, a combination of bandits and poor people. Isn't that a joke!

If you want to have a group of Anjun envoys who can faithfully implement their own orders and understand their own thoughts, there is no other way but to train them by themselves!

But the most urgent task at the moment is to solve the instability of the army. That’s all, Zhou Shixiang asked Song Xianggong to select the 30 who can read some words first~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then select some loyal ones from the army, with wives, children, children and children in the rear camp. , first temporarily put up the Anjun envoy's shelf, and make do with the problem at hand.

Song Xianggong had no objection, but emphasized that it was not the Anjun envoy that was most urgent to stabilize the army, but Zhou Shixiang, the commander of the Taiping army himself. The military-civilian meeting must be convened immediately without delay!

Zhou Shixiang didn't say anything else, and ordered his personal soldiers to find Liao Ruixiang, and ordered him to organize manpower to arrange the venue immediately. In the afternoon, the Taiping Army and Civilian Conference was held. At that time, except for the necessary left-behind personnel on the city wall, other people waited regardless of age or weakness. Anyone who asks for identity must participate in the conference.

Song Xianggong immediately started the investigation of Shao Jiugong and Li Fuguo. He has experience in checking rumors. He had done it in Luoding at the beginning, and this time he is also familiar with it. Xinhui City is such a big place with a palm, and the military and civilians together are no more than ten thousand. It is not a piece of cake to find out who spread the rumors.

Just as Zhou Shixiang started to hold a military-civilian meeting, Shao Jiugong came uninvited.

When he saw Zhou Shixiang, he said straight to the point: "Qianhu, the rumors in the city were not caused by me, but by that guy from Li Fuguo." (To be continued.)
