He did what he said, and a few people made a simple division of labor. Li Yuanyin was in charge of the general manager, and Chen Shihao was responsible for the formulation of intelligence, military discipline and supervision, combat and training plans; Chen Zhongwu was impatient with the meticulous matters, so he asked him to be responsible for military training; Su Xiong had a high education, wide connections, and was responsible for logistics and baggage and ideological education.

How to carry out military construction, Zhu Youlang had already asked Chen Bowen to write a "Outline of Military Construction" and sent it to the army from the Ministry of War.

Ideological education is a new thing, and no one has done it before. Su Xiong simply followed the requirements of the "Outline", which is always impossible to make mistakes.

First of all, we must instill the concept of "people" in officers and soldiers.

According to the Outline, the people are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, including peasants, soldiers, merchants, and gentry, all of whom are members of the people. Specifically, they are your father, your mother, your brothers, your sisters, and your fellow villagers. As long as they do not do illegal things, they are all the people.

Secondly, it puts forward the concept of "love the people".

There is no need to talk about the great truth. Your father, your mother, and yourself, are all the people, and how can you not love the people? If you don’t love the people, wouldn’t you even love your father and your mother?

Su Xiong disagreed with these two points. Can this work? These soldiers and gangsters are killing people without blinking. Is it possible to make them good to the people?

However, what he did not expect was that when he preached the concept of the people and the concept of loving the people at the meeting of officers over a thousand households, the officers were all moved, especially when they mentioned their parents and brothers and sisters, some officers shed tears.

This surprised Su Xiong. Will these soldiers who kill without blinking cry?

"Wang Er is bold, why are you crying?" Su Xiong asked in confusion when he saw that Wang Sheng from Qianhu was crying.

Wang Shengxing Er was called "Wang Er Dabang" because of his boldness. He was a native of Mizhi, Shaanxi and one of the first survivors of the wave of people who followed Li Zicheng's uprising.

Since Wang Sheng joined the army, he has experienced many battles of all sizes and killed countless people. He has long been numb. Today, he actually cried in public. He really doesn't blame Su Xiong for feeling strange.

"Mr. Su, when he was sixteen, he left his hometown after rebelling with the thief. It has been eighteen years now. I haven't returned to my hometown for eighteen years and have never seen my parents. I dreamed of them in my dreams, and I don't know if they are still alive. Just now, the master mentioned his parents, and Biaoxia remembered his own life experience, so he cried bitterly." Wang Sheng wiped his tears and replied.

Hearing this, Su Xiong's heart moved. When he saw that the others were infected by Wang Sheng's words, he wiped away his tears without crying. He just now, tears kept flowing.

Most of the people here have the same experience as Wang Sheng. They have not returned to their hometown for more than ten years, and their parents are even more painful in their hearts that they dare not touch.

The drought lasted for more than ten years, followed by war, and lasted for more than ten years. According to Su Xiong's estimate, the possibility of their parents and relatives survival was very small.

These people probably understand this truth in their hearts, but they are unwilling to expose this beautiful dream without seeing their relatives with their own eyes.

Of course, Su Xiong would not do such a stupid thing. He suddenly saw the breakthrough point in ideological education. If he didn't seize the opportunity at this time, he would be really stupid.

"Dear generals, I empathize with your life experience. We love our parents, our parents, our brothers and sisters, and we have promoted others, and we have the same heart. We should respect other people's parents as our parents, and love other people's brothers and sisters as our brothers and sisters. This is the idea of ​​loving the people advocated by the emperor. As long as we do this, our army can be loved and supported by the people, and our army can be invincible and defeated."

"Dear generals, most of your hometowns are in the north and are now under the control of the Tartar soldiers. It is conceivable that your parents and relatives are now under the oppression of the Tartars. Some are not enough to eat or wear warm clothes, and some are killed because of resisting the Tartars' hair shaving order. In short, the people in your hometown are suffering and suffering. The reason why the Emperor changed the name of the army to the People's Liberation Army is that he hopes that our army will defeat the Tartars and let those suffering people, of course, get rid of the oppression of the Tartars, stand up straight, and live decently."

"Dear generals, everyone has seen that the emperor is the most kind and kind, and he cares for the people to the core. Letting the people live a stable life is the emperor's pursuit and our pursuit as the Ming army. When we defeat the Tartars, the world will be peaceful, there will be no more wars, no more famines or hunger, you can all go back to your hometown to find your parents and relatives, so that they can live a good life, and we will be filial and let them enjoy the joy of family. Are you okay?"

Su Xiong was very eloquent and his words were very inspiring. The miserable scenes and beautiful scenes he woven suddenly aroused the courage and confidence of these officers.

"good!"

Wang Sheng's eyes were shining with hope, and he looked shiny and took the lead and shouted loudly.

"good!"

Both the officers from the north and the south followed Wang Sheng and responded loudly.

Seeing the officers' indignation, Su Xiong suddenly understood: "If this internal motivation is transformed and combative, it will definitely be stronger than fully executing the boss's orders, because they know that it is fighting for their parents and relatives. If all officers and soldiers could have such a fighting spirit and such a spirit of not fearing death, how terrible this army would be."

...

After understanding the importance of ideological education, Su Xiong's intelligence and talents were fully utilized.

He put forward the slogan "Go to your hometown and meet your father and mother" in a timely manner, and carried out the ideological education activity of "remembering your hometown and thinking of your parents" among grassroots officers and soldiers. When the concept of homeland and the emotion of missing your parents' kindness, he also put forward the slogan "Home is the country, the country is the family" and "Daddy is the people, the people are relatives", which well transformed the feelings of family and country and the concept of serving the people.

At the same time, he also quickly carried out a series of activities to love the people according to the requirements of the "Outline".

Fill water for the people near the station, sweep the yard, repair houses, build houses, and do some work that is not paid.

Once these activities were launched, the heart of being a soldier became closer to the people and had a harmonious relationship. Those who served in the soldier regarded the people as relatives, and the soldiers in the eyes of the people became their own children, and no longer had the image of a vicious spirit.

The changes brought about by this are obvious. When the people in the army are no longer afraid, they are smiling from the bottom of their hearts. Some people send food, some people send fruits, and some people send pigs, sheep and other labor supplies to the imperial guards, which is quite like "eating a pot of rice to welcome the king's army."
