Today's military meeting, all battalions with more than a thousand military personnel were allowed to participate, and the spacious Datong could accommodate more than forty people at the same time, and it immediately seemed crowded.

After Zhang Chengwen sat on the first major case, he looked at the officials and generals below and felt a lot of emotion. Although there are many factors for the reason why the subordinates gathered under his command, in the final analysis, he can bring them hope and benefits. .

Loyalty cannot be maintained by relying solely on those lofty slogans, in addition to the most basic trust, and surveillance agencies such as Dongchang and Jinyiwei to maintain high-pressure rule, so that they dare not play tricks behind their backs trick.

But relying on these methods alone is far from enough. Even if a solid interest group has been formed, it will be difficult to maintain their absolute loyalty if they cannot further expand their interests.

Even if they are still loyal now, as long as they have gained a certain amount of benefits, but they can no longer continue to give them greater benefits, some people will have other thoughts.

In the long history, hasn't this kind of thing been constantly happening?
Zhang Cheng knows that "hope" is a very good means. First, let them have trust in themselves, and at the same time make them get some real benefits, and then draw a "big cake" for them, making it a relationship between them and themselves The goal of fighting together.

In this way, with the guidance of the direction, they will always gather by their side and follow themselves along the established direction, because there are greater benefits waiting for them ahead.

And Zhang Cheng is just the one who can lead them to the end and complete this ultimate goal!

Of course, even so, Zhang Cheng will not give up the dark chess that he has laid out before. The combination of thought control and surveillance agencies is safer.

Zhang Cheng came here through time travel, and he has achieved this in just a few years. He doesn't want to be ruined by his own negligence. When he thinks about it: even if all this is just a dream, he has to gamble his life. Go all out and don't allow yourself the slightest negligence.

He wants to make this dream last forever and become a legend. Even if it only spreads in the dream, he still wants to make this legend as beautiful as possible!
"Cough cough."

Zhang Cheng, the general of Zhenshuo, cleared his throat first, and then said: "When Benbo left the town of Xuanbei, there were only a thousand troops, not only the number of soldiers, but also the lack of money and food.

Fortunately, Commander Jin and Commander Yan are on a stalemate, Cao Tongzhi, Liu Qianshi, etc. are dedicated to assisting, and generals such as Chi Shoubei, Ren Shoubei, Gao Shoubei, and Xu Shoubei are loyal and brave, and they are honest. I declare that the North has today. As a result, the place is peaceful and the people are rich. "

Jin Xinpeng took the lead and said: "Why did the general make such a statement? It is our duty to serve the country. If we hadn't been lucky enough to meet the general, how would we be where we are today.

Today, the Xuanbei region can have such a change, the people are well-off, and the money and grain are abundant. This is the merit of the general. It is really a blessing for us to be able to follow the general in this life, and to be driven by the general with a word.

Xinpeng is grateful for the great general's kindness, and is willing to be urged by the general, but if he is appointed, he will swear to serve him to the death. "

After hearing the words, all the officials in the hall got up and said, "...I hope the general will investigate and find out."

Uncle Yongning, Zhang Cheng, smiled and waved for everyone to sit down, and said to them: "Xuanbei's achievements today are not the work of this uncle alone, but the joint efforts of all of you here."

When he said this, he paused for a moment, his face straightened, and he continued: "Everyone, my uncle will go to the town to take up the post of commander-in-chief in the near future. Naturally, the north and east roads can't be taken into account too much, so Two highly respected people are needed to sit here.

In addition, after Ben Bo took over as the chief soldier of Xuan Town, he had to think about the garrison of the entire Xuan Mansion, so he announced a few days ago that he would reorganize the six battalions of soldiers and horses in order to guard the place separately, or go out with Ben Bo. "

Zhang Cheng glanced at the first group of people one by one with radiant eyes, and said: "In a few days, the imperial court's rewards will be conveyed here. At that time, everyone here will have promotions and rewards. Some things can be decided at that time." .

However, the formation of the sixth battalion of my "Brave Army" cannot be waited for long. We should quickly determine the basic organizational structure of each battalion so that we can conduct joint exercises after the end of the year. Get ready for the reverse. "

After hearing this, everyone looked solemn, especially Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, who had the strangest expression, as if he was struggling with something in his heart and couldn't make a decision for a while.

However, even after returning to normal, his complexion became resolute in an instant, and he stood up and cupped his fists towards Uncle Yongning, Zhang Cheng said: "Uncle Rong, Park led the Datong army to aid Liaodong this time and suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, Uncle Yongning did not Abandoned, thinking of my feelings of promoting the unity of the Datong, and vigorously supporting and supporting the Datong Army, it saved the face of the Datong Army in the Liaodong War.

Park returns to Datong this time, and he also wants to follow the example of Uncle Yongning's army training method, and then reorganize a battalion of new troops. Now I specially ask Uncle to send a group of elite veterans to enrich the strength of our Datong army and help Wang become a new army. Army, for the general to drive.

I also hope that my uncle will be kind! "

He had just finished speaking, and before Yongning Bo Zhang Cheng could speak, Li Fuming, the general soldier of Shanxi, followed his example, got up and clasped his fists at Zhang Cheng and said, "Uncle, Fuming also has the same intention, please take a look at it, General." In terms of my feelings of advocating the unity of Datong, if you can agree to this matter, you can help me form an army in Shanxi.

Fuming is willing to be the pioneer of the uncle, to help the uncle to put down the bandits, to drive out the Tartars, and to sacrifice his life on the battlefield, and he has no regrets! "

Yongningbo Zhang Cheng sat behind the first big case, looked at the two of them with piercing eyes, there seemed to be a trace of doubt in his expression, and he did not speak for a long time, so the atmosphere in the hall seemed a little tense.

Although the officials and generals of the Xuanfu also knew Wang Pu and Li Fuming, they had a great intention to get closer to Zhang Cheng, especially during the aid to Liao Dynasty, Zhang Cheng followed suit, and even hinted at the heart of refuge.

But this time is not that time, and the Liaodong War is over. No one can tell whether they still have the heart to seek refuge. Maybe they just want to use Zhang Cheng to help them train their army. After all, they are a town of their own, and it is difficult to effectively control them for a long time control.

In the silence, Yongningbo Zhang Cheng finally spoke, and he said: "Wang Zongbing and Li Zongbing are brothers who are close friends of this uncle, and the three of us have a bloody and slave-killing friendship. How could Bo refuse it."

As soon as Zhang Cheng's words came out, Wang Pu and Li Fuming immediately felt relieved. They breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time, and had the same smile on their faces.

In fact, before the battle in Liaodong was pending, the two of them had already decided that Zhang Cheng would be the leader. Afterwards, Zhang Cheng was awarded the titles of General Zhenshuo and Bo Yongning, which further strengthened their determination to rely on them.

However, everyone knew one thing in their hearts. The imperial court had always strictly prohibited the chief soldiers of various towns from collaborating in private, so as not to form a local power faction that was difficult to control.

Even though everyone participating in the military discussion today is Zhang Cheng's confidant, they dare not be negligent. Wang Pu's decision to say what he just said was only made after careful consideration.

But Yongning Bo Zhang Cheng's next words surprised Wang Pu and Li Fuming: "As requested by the two chief soldiers, this uncle has chosen to send elite soldiers. This is what this uncle should do. There is no doubt about it. .

but……"

When Zhang Cheng mentioned this point, he suddenly stopped talking, and only stared at Wang Pu and Li Fuming with intriguing eyes. He looked at the two of them flustered for a while, wondering what Yongning Bo would do after the word "but". What kind of words to say.

"...My Xuanfu army has always been paid in full and on a monthly basis. It has never been in arrears, and it will be rewarded for meritorious deeds. Benbo has always valued the soldiers more than his own family. If this is in Datong and Shanxi, it will not How dare you owe them!"

"Hahaha……"

After Wang Pu and Li Fuming heard the words, they laughed in unison, only to hear Wang Pu say: "This is natural, this is natural. How can we treat the soldiers of Xuan Mansion badly?"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Li Fuming beside him, exchanged glances with him, and then went on to say: "The soldiers of the Xuanfu have arrived in my Datong, and they are the masters of the children under our command. The instructor of the Datong Army, how can I be willing to treat the instructor badly."

Li Fuming also hurriedly answered: "Yes, yes. Even if we are hungry, we can't starve the brothers in Xuanfu."

There was a satisfied smile on Yongning Bo Zhang Cheng's face, and Wang Pu and Li Fuming felt at ease when they saw it, but they saw a trace of worry on Zhang Cheng's face again, and said: "How can the two generals be like this?" , of course it couldn't be better.

But Ben Bo still had some doubts in his heart. He said that in one army, they were divided into two squads. After a long time, would everyone say that it was my Xuanfu army who robbed the brothers of Datong and Shanxi? Rice bowl? "

Wang Pu was taken aback for a moment, and then he clicked his lips twice. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Zhang Cheng say again: "Since ancient times, there is a saying, 'You don't suffer from poverty, but you suffer from inequality'. I am afraid that the soldiers of your two towns will suffer from the same The battalion does not pay the same wages, and resentment arises in my heart, if there is another mutiny, it will not be my uncle's crime!"

Without waiting for Wang Pu and Li Fuming to react, Yongningbo Zhang Cheng continued: "What's more, the reason why my Xuanfu army is called 'elite' is because of the way of selecting and training soldiers, but the main reason is the excellent armor and equipment. My Xuanfu's guns are even sharper. During wartime, when I kill the enemy in front of me, I am invincible.

But the only disadvantage is that it consumes too much money! "

Zhang Cheng said these words in succession, making Wang Pu and Li Fuming feel ashamed. After a while, under Zhang Cheng's attention, Li Fuming, the general of Shanxi, said: "Uncle, we I don't want to suffer from my son in the camp.

But you also know that this is the first time we have been appointed to Shanxi, and our foundation has not yet been established. Although recruiting soldiers is still a part of our duties, the matter of money and food is not something that can be decided by the assistant. It is really difficult to do. The same camp and the same salary', I hope uncle can understand one or two. "

Wang Pu was also complaining incessantly: "Uncle, forgive me, this matter is really difficult to handle. Although Pu has been in Datong for many years, he can use the capital of Datong's treasury. If he works hard to maintain it, he may be able to guarantee the full salary of the first battalion.

But in this way, they will no longer be able to purchase armored guns and other weapons. This matter is really "easy to think, but difficult to do"! "

When Wang Pu finished speaking, he still had a dejected look on his face, but for some reason, a strange light flashed in his eyes, he raised his head to look at Zhang Cheng, and asked, "Uncle, Pu has always had a question in his heart. , I wonder if I should ask?"

Zhang Cheng seemed to be waiting for him to ask a question, and replied with a smile: "Zongbing Wang has something to say, but it's okay to ask, why should we see each other!"

Wang Pu swallowed a mouthful of saliva first, and then said: "Uncle, Wang Pu has been wondering in his heart, this border land in Xuanbei is not as prosperous as the town, but how does uncle raise these tens of thousands of elites?" Master of 'Tiger Wolf'?"

"Hahaha……"

Zhang Cheng laughed heartily for a while, and then replied: "No one else, just re-measure the land and start collecting taxes for merchants."

"However, Uncle, if there is a lot of land that is owned by the owner, but the collection of commercial taxes is not in line with the law of the country, how can the land that is owned by the owner be collected?

As for the collection of commercial taxes, if the merchants do not agree to pay taxes, how should they be dealt with? "

There was no smile on Zhang Cheng's face, and his expression was also solemn. Shen Sheng said to him in a cold tone: "The country's affairs are difficult, and there are rogues running amok inside, breaking the state capital repeatedly, and engulfing countless hungry people. Unstoppable;
The Tartars outside invaded repeatedly, ravaged the capital, and plundered our people's mouths, money, food, and wealth. They almost hollowed out the important areas of our Great Ming Jifu.

If these two bandits continue to rampage and grow stronger, they will faintly threaten the life and death of our Ming Dynasty, but this group of officials, gentry and landlords, wealthy businessmen and wealthy businessmen are constantly singing, singing and dancing every day, and they have no country or king in their hearts.

They would rather pile up the grain and grain in the barn and let it rot and mold; beat gold and silver into big gold ingots and silver winter melons, and hide them several feet deep in the ground, rather than contribute to the country.

There is only one way to deal with this kind of person who has no country and no king who doesn't care about the safety of the country and the life and death of the people! "

"What's the method?" Wang Pu and Li Fuming obviously couldn't wait, so they hurriedly asked in unison.

Yongningbo Zhang Cheng uttered a word in a cold tone: "Kill!"

Two fierce cold lights shot out of his eyes, he stared at Wang Pu and Li Fuming, and continued in a cold tone: "What's the use of keeping a person without a country and a king who is ruining the country and the people?"

Wang Pu's body trembled slightly, and a little bit of cold sweat flashed on his forehead. After a while, he seemed to have made a major decision at this moment, and he said with a resolute expression on his face: "Uncle, Our Wang is going all out.

In Datong, what the uncle says is what you say, we will do whatever you say, everything depends on what the uncle said, and Pu will resolutely implement it. For the sake of the country, for my Ming Dynasty, for the sake of the emperor, we Wang Pu will never Dare to be vague. "

Seeing Wang Pu at the side, Li Fuming showed his heart in such a way, and naturally he was unwilling to be left behind. He stood up, clasped his fists and saluted, "Uncle, when we were in Liaodong, we just said that the Dazi came as one, and today Shanxi The military affairs in the town can also be decided by uncle, and Fuming will never dare to be ambiguous."

"Hmph. Two cunning foxes want money, food, resources to train new troops, but put knives in our hands. They are really cunning and shameless!" Zhang Cheng cursed in his heart.
