Chapter 258 The establishment of the Zhaoyi Army(3/3)
"As ministers, we should share your Majesty's worries. That's why we regard the disgrace of Jingping as the common disgrace of the civil and military officials and the people of Qi Dynasty, and we want to fight with our blood to avenge our previous shame!
"But what if today's officials and the Gonggun princes in the court no longer think this is a shame? What if they want to make peace with the Jin people and sell the territory that we and other warriors fought with blood in order to seek peace?
"Why should we go to Yixue? This is a shame that does not belong to us!"
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers below were all stunned.
In fact, many people have thought about this.
The shame of Jingping was originally caused by the two weird emperors themselves. And the current emperor asked General Han Fuyue to withdraw his troops, making it clear that he did not want to fight. There is a saying that goes well, if the emperor is not in a hurry, why should the eunuchs be in a hurry?
Since the officials don't want to avenge their shame, why should we rush to work for the Dukes in the court?
However, what should we do if we are not ashamed of Jingping?
You must know that since the beginning of the army, the slogan "A Snow Jingping" has been a slogan that unites people's hearts. It can be said that General Han Fuyue's strong army was built on this ideological consensus.
If there is no goal, is it possible for everyone to become bandits together?
Then I'm afraid...the morale of the army will collapse in an instant.
The soldiers obviously didn't expect that General Han would drop this slogan all of a sudden, and they were a little at a loss for what to do.
Zhao Haiping continued to speak loudly: "The shame of Jingping does not belong to us, but it does not mean that we have no reason to continue fighting!
"The Jin people went south, burning, killing and looting. How many wives were separated from each other, and how many families were separated from each other! How many people's villages were burned down, turning them into white bones on the way to the Jin people's siege!"
"If the officials don't care about Jingping's shame, then we won't be guilty of fighting to the death to avenge him. It's the shame of the Qi Dynasty royal family, and it doesn't have anything to do with us!
"But when the Jin people went south, their lives were devastated. How could we let go of the numerous crimes they committed against the soldiers and civilians of our dynasty?
"So you all stay with me. Every battle after that is no longer for the sake of peace, but just...
“Blood for blood, tooth for tooth!
“How the Jin people took my land and killed my people, we must pay them back in full!
"So from today on, this army is renamed Zhaoyi Army.
"The sun is shining brightly, and it is our duty to do so! I also declare to the people of the world that our Zhaoyi Army will never forget the people of Hedong and Hebei. Even if Qi and Jin sign a peace treaty and withdraw their troops, our Zhaoyi Army will save the people from fire and water!"
The Zhaoyi Army was actually established during the Liang Dynasty, and its jurisdiction was Xiangzhou, Xingzhou and other places, which were also the core areas of the north occupied by the Jin people at this time.
The word "Zhaoyi" in the Zhaoyi Army also means that the sun is shining and it is inevitable.
This move is tantamount to directly announcing to the whole world: The army led by me, Han Fuyue, is no longer the army of the Qi Dynasty, but a brand new Zhaoyi army!
This Zhaoyi army is not fighting for the royal family of the Qi Dynasty, but for the people who are suffering under the iron heel of the Jin people!
The slogans and ideas of the Zhaoyi Army are no longer slogans that are highly tied to the royal family of the Qi Dynasty, such as loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, welcoming back the Second Saint, and the shame of Xue Jingping. Instead, they completely put the royal family aside and stand with the people of the Qi Dynasty.
.
After a brief hesitation, the soldiers quickly reacted and shouted in unison: "The sky is clear! The sky is clear!
“Kill the golden dog! Save the people!
"Long live the Zhaoyi Army!
"I am willing to join the general and die to clarify my ambition!"
A sound like a mountain roaring and a tsunami came, and Zhao Haiping nodded with satisfaction.
"Come here, take the blood oath!"
…
This step finally went smoothly according to Zhao Haiping's plan.
In fact, once I got to this point, I found that it was not as difficult as I thought.
The literacy rate in ancient times was very low.
Soldiers and junior officers are basically illiterate, and the military is a place where obedience is important. Although there are constraints of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, it is not impossible to break them.
The more than 30,000 soldiers who were really willing to stay only recognized General Han Fuyue and did not recognize the court and the official family.
The composition of the army was complex. There were troops who had followed him during the southern crossing, various units from other armies who came to defect, rebels who had surrendered, and prisoners who had been reformed after defeating the puppet army.
The interests of many of his direct descendants have been highly tied up. If they go back at this time, they will definitely not be reused. Instead, they may be killed for treason. These people are definitely not willing to go back.
The rebels who surrendered did not have a good impression of Qi Chao at first, but they just had no other choice. If General Han Fuyue could win the battle, these rebels would be willing to surrender after the uprising. If it were an incompetent general? Why would they risk their lives to come here?
Treat people as grandsons.
As for the defeated puppet troops and the refugees gathered along the way, they only recognized General Han Fuyue. What is the Qi Dynasty? I'm not familiar with it.
Of course, among the original 100,000-strong army, many people would hesitate and choose the latter between rebellion and revolt.
After all, many people's families are still in the rear, and it is unrealistic for them to abandon their wives and children to fight in the war. If the rebellion is confirmed, and their wives and children in the rear are implicated, many people will not be able to bear it.
But no matter what, the more than 30,000 people who were left behind all sided with General Han Fuyue without hesitation when choosing a side between General Han Fuyue and the Qi Dynasty.
These more than 30,000 people are actually more united.
But now that we have made preparations to completely break up with the Qi Dynasty, we can no longer shout the previous slogans of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. This will shake our own military morale.
The solution Zhao Haiping came up with was to change the slogan.
I, the Zhaoyi Army, are not loyal to the Qi Dynasty. I only care about the innocent people in the world. I only care about how to kill all the Jin people and avenge the people who were wantonly killed and enslaved by the Jin people!
There is no doubt that these soldiers who stayed behind all had a blood feud with the Jin people.
But Zhao Haiping also knew that this was only the first step.
What will meet him next is a more severe test!
