As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 162 You Don’t Love the People

"Your Majesty...this..."

His Majesty actually agreed. Xiao Ling looked at the villagers whose blood was boiling.

I felt helpless for a while.

It's good to have this intention, but we also have to see if we have the ability to do it!
What a mob, what a mob.

How much strength can a group of people who were beaten to a pulp by a group of bandits yesterday bring to their team?
If there are a hundred or so people, that means there are a hundred or so mouths to feed. They don’t understand the rules, and management becomes a problem.

They were already traveling light, and bringing these people with them would be too cumbersome and cause a lot of trouble.

But Mingchen beside him patted his shoulder and said, "General, a small step can add up to a thousand miles, and small streams can converge to form rivers and seas."

"Don't forget what Chen said to you yesterday."

Xiao Ling was stunned, but stopped talking when he came to his senses.

The king's order cannot be changed.

The superior has his own considerations, and he and Xiao Xinyue do not think about the problem from the same perspective.

Yesterday he did not support Xiao Xinyue to rescue people, but what happened later shocked the entire Qianyuan.

His broken arms have been restored.

There is no right or wrong in many things, but once the leader makes a decision, it is right.

As a minister, all he has to do is obey the orders of his monarch.

"but……"

Looking at the excited villagers, Xiao Xinyue changed the subject.

"Whoosh!"

The sharp sword broke through the air and stabbed into the ground in front of Yun Zheng, making a buzzing sound.

"My journey has been full of hardships and I've barely escaped death."

"Since you are willing to follow me, you must obey my rules!"

"The most basic rule is to obey orders and enforce them!"

"From now on, your lives belong to me. Now please forget the past and only remember me! Whatever I ask you to do, even if the road ahead is filled with swords and fire, you must charge forward without hesitation!"

"If anyone disobeys orders or acts cunningly, he will not die at the hands of the enemy, but at the hands of Xiao Xinyue's sword!"

"Everyone, can you do this?"

Xiao Xinyue slowly pulled out the long sword that was stuck in the ground. The sword light flashed and the cold air was overwhelming. She looked coldly at the group of people who had fled below. Her voice was low but revealed unquestionable majesty.

What they said before about 'going to die' was just an exaggerated courtesy to express loyalty.

But what Xiao Xinyue wants is the real thing.

Loving the people requires boundaries. She is a leader and a manager, so it is natural that she should be divided into different classes.

Being too gentle will only breed chaos.

I don’t know if it was an illusion of these ordinary people, but they just felt that what Xiao Xinyue said now seemed to have some special power.

The exceptionally profound words echoed in their ears, imprinted in the deepest part of their souls.

Forever.

"That's natural!"

After a brief silence, Yun Zheng knelt on the ground and said loudly: "From now on, even if Your Majesty cuts off my head and asks me to kill my mother and abandon my children, I will never say a word!"

"I obey your Majesty's orders!"

"I obey your Majesty's orders!"

Following his lead, the villagers knelt on the ground one by one, swearing oaths one after another.

Today, by using both kindness and force, Xiao Xinyue gained the first batch of subordinates with pure backgrounds.

Born from the grass roots, they forgot about life and death and only obeyed the king's orders.

……

night,
Because of the addition of a new group of people, Xiao Xinyue and her group's speed slowed down significantly.

People at the bottom of society joined the team of the future new king. Xiao Xinyue screened their identities and left some people to take care of the women and children in the village.

This move made the villagers feel grateful.

As for the rest of the people, they were either nervous, excited, expectant, or afraid...

They embarked on a path that was once unimaginable.

They were at the end of the team, and from the first day they joined, they began to receive training and management.

"Master Ming, can you also command and train troops?"

At the back of the team, Xiao Ling looked at the overly young scholar beside him in a daze.

Most of these joined rabble were farmers with little cultural knowledge, and their ultimate goal was to become a warrior.

However, Mingchen intervened in their training.

Xiao Ling originally thought that the scholar was fooling around, but he didn't expect that the other party's talent was beyond his imagination.

How could he be so familiar with training? Whether it was mobilizing people's emotions or training methods... he was quite experienced. His command and coordination, as well as his reward and punishment system, were all well-organized.

Apart from talented generals like Ling Yu, many experiences require war and time to accumulate.

There were even some training methods that he didn't know about. Mingchen was so meticulous that he even had requirements for the sleeping positions of these people.

Mingchen should be a civilian official and has never served in the military.

How could... she be more experienced than him, a general?

Mingchen waved his hand casually: "Not really."

"Master Ming is too modest! Your method of training soldiers is even more detailed than Ling's!"

"You should discuss this with Ling more in the future." 'Did you hear me? Did you hear me?'

"You little brat, do you know how valuable a teacher is?"

"If you study hard, you will be able to conquer the world in the future without any problem!"

"When this princess goes to war in the future, you must take me with you to the battlefield!"

The tattered flag carried by the shy butterfly fluttered in the wind.

Xiao Ling didn't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to see a figure looming beside Mingchen, exuding a chill.

Although he usually looks like a talkative old man, Guo Chongyun is a real capable person. He was the highest-ranking general of a country hundreds of years ago and left behind a great reputation. His strength is naturally needless to say.

Training these hundred or so people was a piece of cake for him.

Having been a ghost for hundreds of years, he was unable to command soldiers or fight on the battlefield, so he could only think about how to better train the army.

When it comes to training soldiers, he claims to be the best in the world. He even dares to discuss the little girl's mysterious military master and argue with him about who is better.

Since following Mingchen out of the mountains, Mingchen has not participated in the construction of the army at all, nor has he been given any opportunity to show himself.

Now it finally exists.

The long-suppressed emotion was released, and I also received praise and recognition.

Hearing Xiao Ling's praise, the old man floated in the air, his beard swaying in the wind, and he looked very happy.

Mingchen shrugged and didn't want to let Laogui have fun anymore.

He just said to Xiao Ling: "General Xiao, haven't you noticed? These people are still a little special."

During the night break, the newcomers who had been training for a day began to rest on the spot.

The training Mingchen set was very hard, but they all persevered.

In fact, the amount of training they did was twice as much as Guo Chongyun had expected.

Guo Chongyun is also observing the physical conditions of these people.

He was a little excited. He felt that these people... might be able to overcome the shortcomings of the Giant Elephant Guard.

If this is really possible... then the Giant Elephant Guard, which carries his great reputation, will have the hope of making a comeback.

"kindness?"

Xiao Ling lowered his eyes when he heard this and unconsciously clenched his right arm.

This arm has just grown out.

That day, His Highness caused such a great change in heaven and earth and created a miracle.

As the fluorescent light fell, the people who received the gift seemed to be blessed as well. His injuries recovered and his body even became stronger.

At this moment, he also understood why Mingchen and Xiao Xinyue left this group of rabble behind.

"Master Ming, do you know why this is happening?"

Mingchen shook his head: "I don't know."

"Perhaps, this land and this river respects Your Highness as their master, and Your Highness is the savior. The auspicious sign from heaven, is this the gift you get from following a wise ruler?" Anyway, the ancients loved to listen to these mysterious theories about destiny chosen by God.

After all, she had not yet arrived at the chosen capital, and had not performed the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven to formally establish herself as the emperor. Calling her "Your Majesty" was too casual, so Xiao Xinyue asked these people to change her to the original "Your Highness".

Xiao Ling was shocked when he heard this, and then nodded deeply, "Master Ming is right."

……

There is no wind tonight, the night is quiet and peaceful, and when people gather together, there is no fear of the dark.

The newcomers were resting after a day of training. The adult had developed a strict training plan, which required them to press some acupoints while resting and to maintain a fixed posture while sleeping.

Among these people, the young man and his sister who had previously shone brightly and attracted special attention sat somewhat aloofly aside, quietly looking at the stars and the moon in the sky.

Although he said some shocking words in front of Xiao Xinyue, he did not seem to receive any special treatment and received the same training and orders as those ordinary villagers.

Xiao Xinyue seemed to have forgotten him and did not meet him in person.

"My lord!" xn
But today, there were sudden bursts of respectful voices coming from the front.

Following people's gaze, a young and handsome scholar walked towards them slowly.

No one would underestimate this man just because he is young.

He intimidated with words, and also aroused ambition with words, led with status, pressured with force, and used both kindness and force... It was very simple to gain the respect of these people and train them.

Yun Zheng raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him quietly.

He has been smart since he was young, and he can see through the personalities of the people in the village and how great they can achieve.

After spending a short time with His Highness, he was able to understand a bit of his character.

I have some knowledge of these big names in the team.

But he could never figure out this adult who always had a smiling face and a light-hearted temperament.

But he knew that the other party was coming to find him this time.

He didn't believe that he would always be with these people from the same village.

"You come with me."

Mingchen looked at the young man with interest and smiled gently.

Troubled times are never a stage for one person, and there are countless talented and brilliant people.

What is important is whether these talented people can find their own place and write their own history in this magnificent world.

Mingchen doesn't mind having more smart talents in the team, nor does he worry about competing for power with these people.

He was still a little lazy and just hoped that there would be more of these people. It was very comfortable to work with smart people.

"You don't love your parents that much, and you don't love the people either."
