Yue Fei's army has a good tradition of not taking a needle and a thread from the masses. "Freeze to death without tearing down the house and starve to death without disturbing the people" is Yue Jiajun's motto. But in fact, Yue Jiajun's treatment has always been much better than other miscellaneous troops. At that time, many miscellaneous armies even became bandits or surrendered to Liu Qi's regime because their salaries were not paid in time.

In fact, this is also the reason why many people strongly demand to join Yue Jiajun and follow the light. According to historical records, Li Dao, Niu Hao and others repeatedly wrote to Yue Fei and Zhao Ding, the appeasement envoy of Jiangnan West Road, to "ask Yue Fei to control himself". Zhao, who was beaten out of the water by Yue Fei, at first, when the court was ready to hand him over to Yue Fei, Zhao said excitedly that he would rather die than work for him. Later, when Yue Fei's troops were getting better and better, Zhao urged to return to Yue Fei's men.

Staying in Yuegujun may be more risky than staying in other troops, but you have to know that at that time, in troubled times, the emperor's old son and noble ministers lost their lives, not to mention ordinary people. At that time, young people didn't have many ways out. They either became refugees or bandits, joined the army, or stayed at home and were robbed and starved to death.

The army is a huge iron rice bowl. In troubled times, it has infinite appeal to ordinary farmers and people. As long as you join the army, serve your country and stay inside, you will be lucky enough not to die, and your quality of life and future will be better. The so-called "as soon as the conscription flag is erected, someone will eat food" is also true.

Soldiers at the bottom, they don't care which troops they join or what battles they fight. Only those intellectuals who claim to serve their country and join the army will have some foresight and find the right brand before joining the army.

The first is Julian Waghann, for example, the leader is a descendant of a certain noble and has several grandchildren; Second, if it is a rebel army, it is necessary to make a name for itself, and it is best to stand on the side of the Qing Dynasty or rely on "destiny". Third, if neither is available, at least the army should attach importance to the strength of intellectuals, help them as staff officers as soon as possible, and do a well-paid job, or rack one's brains to fabricate reasons that conform to the first two.

On the other hand, Yue Jiajun was almost equivalent to the establishment of civil servants or institutions at that time. There was no threshold and there was no need to enter through the back door. So naturally, everyone filed in and developed rapidly. In a few years, it developed to 100,000 Yuejiajun. The so-called "one shot, two thousand gold". Military discipline and command are of course the first, but logistics and grain and grass are the real magic weapons behind Yue Jiajun's invincible.

Once you have lost the battle and your reputation has been damaged, you will not be so confident to reach out to the court for food. "Win the battle, eat your salary" is the slogan that Yue Jiajun soldiers have to meditate 100 times a day, and it is also the core interest of Yue Jiajun. Any soldier's timidity and fear of death affect his morale, which is a naked violation of others' right to life. This is the secret that Yue Jiajun can maintain strong morale.

Because Yue Jiajun holds high the resounding slogan of "Recovering the rivers and mountains and welcoming the two saints" in every battle, Yue Jiajun is extremely determined in the supply of military pay and maintains zero tolerance for the arrears of military pay. In order to ensure the logistics supply of Yue Jiajun, the imperial court often "recognized the state and county to brush warehouses, collected exhausted people and exhausted public and private resources" during the military period.

By the end of the month, when the soldiers were happily preparing to receive their salaries (that is, the monthly money), "Don't ask if there are any counties, there are quotas, and the pile name can't give 23% of the amount. Since the rest, everything is out of the county official's temporary measures and can only be made up. " January is not over yet, and next month's issue has been forced. It is said that "the sick people are the most." "It's all about the army and soldiers, nothing less. "

Yue Fei often scares local officials by delaying military planes and missing the great cause of rejuvenation, so state and county officials can only ruthlessly exploit farmers.
