Chapter 169: Complete Occupation of Shaanxi, Demote Wang Zhenyuan, Rebuild

After joining the Salvation Army, Chen Mo took the letter written by Yang Jiamo to Yang Guanglie and found the military instructor.

Then, the matter was quickly reported to Wang Chao.

Wang Chao just smiled with interest.

Although he was somewhat interested in Yang Jiamo, since he was unwilling to serve as an official and was willing to be a teacher, he did not mean to disturb him.

After Chen Mo passed the military training, he did not wait for the Salvation Army to expand, but directly recruited him into the army.

And this time he was one of the pioneers in the attack on Yulinwei.

The letter was naturally handed over by the clerk of Ji's Trading Company.

Today's Ji's Trading Company still has the name of Ji's.

However, it is a genuine state-owned trading company of the Salvation Army under the Commercial Department.

Among them, the shopkeepers and clerks are also considered to be half-system people. In addition to normal business activities, they are also responsible for exploring foreign information and delivering news letters when necessary.

Moreover, if they found useful information or delivered urgent letters, they would also receive corresponding merits.

For example, if Yang Guanglie could take the initiative to lead his troops to join the People's Salvation Army to avoid unnecessary battles, the shopkeepers and shop assistants who took risks would receive 100 military merits.

What is this concept?

The People's Salvation Army only received 10 merits for killing an ordinary enemy soldier.

100 military merits is equivalent to killing 10 enemy soldiers.

It is enough to upgrade their regular soldiers to combat soldiers.

As for the shopkeepers and shop assistants, they are neither soldiers nor officials, so what is the use of the merits they have received.

Well, the dynasty is going to pick up the five ranks of duke, marquis, earl, viscount and baron, and add one, two and three ranks. As long as someone has enough merits, he can be awarded the corresponding title, and he will have certain priority under the rule of the People's Salvation Army.

However, that can only be a baron.

The titles of viscount and above require actual military merits, such as expanding territory and occupying land.

Of course, this expansion of territory may be different from the usual meaning.

However, this is still the dynasty's idea now, and the specific situation will depend on the development of the situation in the future.

After receiving Yang Jiamo's letter, Yang Guanglie couldn't help but fall into entanglement again.

Originally, because his father died at the hands of the Salvation Army, and with the idea of ​​being loyal to the country, he wanted to defend Yulin to the death and live and die with Yulin Weicheng.

But now, the reason that supports him to fight to the death is gone in an instant.

Although there is no word in Yang Jiamo's letter to persuade him to surrender.

However, he told what he saw and heard in Lanzhou.

As for the specific decision, he handed it over to Yang Guanglie.

If Yang Guanglie decided to serve the country with his life, although Yang Jiamo would be sad, he would support his son's decision.

After putting away the letter, Yang Guanglie was stunned for a long time, and then turned around and went down the tower.

Walking on the road, looking at the desolate city, the panic-stricken people, and the pale-faced and thin people, he looked at the soldiers beside him, who were also a little distracted.

Yang Guanglie couldn't help but smile bitterly. His soldiers were like this, so what about other ordinary soldiers?

Think about the description in his father's letter again.

It seems that for these ordinary people and ordinary soldiers, joining the Salvation Army is not a bad thing.

"Alas~, I will write a letter, and you go to pass it to the clerk of Ji's Trading Company and tell the leader of the dynasty that Yang Guanglie surrendered."

In an instant, Yang Guanglie's originally upright body seemed to be slightly hunched, but there was a sense of relief as if he had put down a heavy burden.

With Yang Guanglie's cooperation, the Salvation Army took Yulinwei without bloodshed.

So far, the Salvation Army has completely occupied the entire Shaanxi Province, and has been governed by the river with Shanxi, and is adjacent to Henan, Huguang and Sichuan.

Afterwards, Yang Guanglie and his soldiers, who wanted to continue to serve in the army, were all sent to the new recruit camp for training.

Later, at Yang Guanglie's request, Wang Chao assigned him to the Guazhou guerrilla general, serving under He Jiping, the general of Shazhou.

Wang Chao could naturally guess Yang Guanglie's thoughts, which was nothing more than not wanting to fight with his old boss, the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Chao readily agreed to this. It didn't matter who he fought against? As long as he served the people's army.

Anyway, fighting against the Ming court would not lack a guerrilla general like him.

And what happened next was a headache for Wang Chao.

That was Wang Erniu, who was so stubborn that he wanted to go to Zhenyuan Temple to be a gravekeeper, or a shrine keeper.

In this ancient battlefield, only more than a hundred people died, but he felt that he was not suitable for leading troops, and wanted to resign from the post of general out of guilt, and had to be a shrine keeper.

Isn't it normal for people to die on the battlefield?

Even if Wang Erniu made a mistake, in ancient times, some people might feel guilty, but they probably wouldn't resign from all their positions, right?

Moreover, even if it was Wang Chao, he just wanted to reprimand him and demote him, and punish him to be a guerrilla general somewhere to let him accumulate military merit again.

And to be honest, Wang Erniu is from the same hometown and village as Wang Chao, so he can be said to be the core of the core team.

Compared with others, Wang Erniu and his people are naturally more trusted by Wang Chao.

As for whether it is nepotism

Haha, under the same conditions, why don't I use nepotism?

And along the way, they have gone through countless battles and have already practiced it.

Perhaps not to the level of an ancient famous general.

However, the command of the battle is also satisfactory. Coupled with the strength of the People's Salvation Army, it is absolutely invincible and invincible.

Compared with those so-called famous futures, how can it be worse?

Naturally, the dynasty will give priority to these core members when appointing positions.

However, Wang Er Niu Niu has a temper, but he is stubborn and stubborn. No one can persuade him, and he can't pull ten cows back.

For this reason, he also gave himself a new name, Wang Zhenyuan, so that he could always remember his mistakes in Zhenyuan Acropolis.

Wang Erniu's behavior almost angered Wang Chao and others to death.

In a fit of anger, the dynasty followed his wishes and demoted him directly to Zhenyuan Guard, where he served as the head catcher of the Inspection Department.

After receiving the appointment, Wang Erniu, no, Wang Zhenyuan, couldn't help but smile with relief.

Seeing this scene, the Dynasty and Li Yu and others who were transferred back couldn't help but sigh secretly.

That's fine, let's let Wang Zhenyuan and Zhenyuan Acropolis rest for a while.

As for after

Wang Chao's eyes flashed.

A plan that had been put on hold because there was no suitable candidate emerged in his mind again.

At this time, Chongzhen also received the news that the National Salvation Army had occupied most of Shaanxi and had invaded Yan'an Prefecture, targeting Yulin Guards. He almost spat out blood.

However, what made him even more angry was what happened later. He was just about to send troops to support the Yulin Guards, and then he received an urgent report that the Yulin Guards guerrilla general Yang Guanglie led the officers and soldiers of the Yulin Guards to surrender.

Suffering such a blow, Chongzhen almost fainted again, and it took him a long time to recover.

Naturally, there was another curse.

He scolded Yang Guanglie for being an unfaithful, unkind, unfilial person because of his father Yang Jiamo's reputation.

However, no matter how angry he was, things had already happened and he could only find a way to remedy it.

After discussing with the ministers, Chongzhen appointed Song Tongyin as the governor of Shanxi, responsible for exterminating the remaining rebels who broke into Shanxi and finding an opportunity to counterattack Shaanxi.

As for the original governor, Geng Ruqi, he had already been imprisoned because of the mutiny of the soldiers when he came to Beijing to serve the king.

The other was Hong Chengchou, who was ordered to train and strengthen the army, and then looked for opportunities to counterattack Shaanxi with Song Tongyin, the governor of Shanxi, and wipe out the National Salvation Army.

Facing the emperor's order, Hong Chengchou deliberately refused, but after seeing Chongzhen's earnest gaze, he finally bowed down and accepted the appointment, and at worst, he would have died for his country.

After the ministers retreated, Chongzhen looked above the capital, his eyes a little blurred.

Vaguely, he seemed to be able to see a bright yellow cloud above the capital, but this bright yellow cloud was mixed with endless gray and black aura.

Unconsciously, Chongzhen murmured.

"Has the Ming Dynasty really lost the support of the people and is declining?"

"No, our Ming Dynasty still occupies a vast land. It is the orthodoxy of the world and will surely revive again."

On the other hand, after the dynasty occupied all of Shaanxi, it moved its office to Xi'an.

Countless members of the agricultural cooperative began to go to various posts, unfamiliar but carefully handling their own affairs according to the information and various rules and regulations transmitted by the status of the world.

Although there were occasional mistakes, generally speaking, the situation in the newly occupied areas was stabilized.

Countless amounts of food and materials were continuously transported into eastern Shaanxi, and the disaster relief was provided free of charge for three days. Then, workers were recruited comprehensively and post-disaster reconstruction began.

As long as they are not too old or too young to know anything, they are all eligible for recruitment by the People's Salvation Army.

Even if you boil some water for construction workers, you can still get some wages.

Not much, three to five cents a day, but there is still some.

For many lonely elderly people, this is the grace of survival.

Among the People's Salvation Army, basically no free disaster relief will be provided to newly occupied areas.

First, if the victims are full and have nothing to do, they will inevitably get a little irritated and cause trouble.

Secondly, the suffering suffered by those victims has nothing to do with the People's Salvation Army.

All they can do is save people who are dying at first, but then they only save those who save themselves.

Except for the elderly or the infants and young children, no one should think of freeloading.

Even if you are physically disabled or even mentally retarded, you will be cured and you can work for me.

The medicine, talisman water and other magical powers mastered by the doctors of the National Salvation Army can definitely cure your illness.

Even if you can reach the fourth level of magical power, you can completely make up for the deficiencies.

Even if you are missing an arm or a leg, you can grow a new one.

Although at present, no one has reached the fourth level of magical power.

Even the third level of magical power is rare.

But the second level of magical power is enough to restore a person's health.

Even if you are born with a disability, you can slowly recover.

As for those with intellectual disabilities, this is the best disease to treat.

What is spiritual power?

That is a kind of power derived from the soul. It can nourish and repair the damage and incompleteness of the soul consciousness. Isn't that a matter of course?

Naturally, these disabled people did not have any objection to the People's Salvation Army's behavior of forcing people to work, and instead came in droves.

These patients and their families are even more grateful to the People's Salvation Army and the Dynasty.

Of course, even normal people, when they know that they can have three meals a day and get paid for working, they will all praise it.

For a while, the whole territory of Shaanxi was full of praise for the Salvation Army and the reputation of the dynasty's benevolence, righteousness and holiness.

However, at the same time, because Shaanxi was completely occupied and the territory expanded by nearly one-fold again, the talent was inevitably nervous again.

However, unlike before, even in the newly occupied areas, the rejection of the Salvation Army by many scholars has been weakened a lot, and even many people want to join.

However, when they learned about the Salvation Army's policy of becoming an official, they couldn't help but criticize it.

They felt that the Salvation Army violated the rules since ancient times and was not the way of the saints. How could those mud legs who had never studied the way of the saints be officials and govern a place?
