"What. Ye Shikai scolded angrily, and several officers in charge of training recruits immediately knelt down in fright, for fear that he would kill a few people in a fit of anger.

"Explain it to me. Ye Shikai shouted loudly.

"Half a month ago, there were rumors in the army that a large army would be conscripted to conquer Bashu next year, and ...... He also said that even if he won this expedition, it would be a life of nine deaths, and it would be difficult to survive, and the rumors spread more and more, and the people in the barracks were also panicked, and the morale of the army was unstable. ”

Ye Shikai finally made it clear after hearing this, although it is indeed a fact to conquer Bashu next year, but the rumors always add fuel and vinegar, although there will be casualties, but it is impossible to be so exaggerated, Bashu does not have the main force of the Qin army, and once the wolf clan goes south, Xianyang will definitely defend the Great Wall with all its might, and there will be no troops to support Bashu, and the casualties cannot be so big.

Obviously, someone must have done it on purpose, the purpose was to scare these recruits and disturb the morale of the army, and judging from the current situation, the rumors were very "successful", which has made many sergeants afraid to come for training.

Ye Shikai was also quite embarrassed for a while, to be precise, this rumor is true, the army will cut down Shu next year is a sure thing, so he can't "refute the rumors", but since he has to admit it, how to explain it to the sergeants, if he says that he will not fight next year, when the time comes to go on the expedition, the soldiers will realize that they have been deceived, and the army's heart will collapse at that time.

"We have ordered officials to investigate the names of non-commissioned officers who evaded training, and they will be severely punished. ”

"Blindly punishing severely, can not solve the problem of things, especially the military spirit, only really do the top and bottom together, in order to win the battle, if the law and regulations severely punish also solve the problem, then now there will not be so many rebels in various places. Ye Shikai's face was solemn, let's be honest, this matter can be big or small, if it is dealt with, the rumors will "disappear", if it is not handled well, I am afraid it will be difficult to say, but at least from now on, there is still a chance to remedy.

"A few of you listen to me, when you return to the army, if anyone talks about this matter again, it will be severely punished, in addition, pay attention to observe, will it be the spies of the Qin army who sneaked into the military camp and deliberately disturbed the morale of the army, if there are any suspicious people, they will be taken down and interrogated immediately. Ye Shikai ordered.

"Wow. ”

"Wow. ”

"General Ye, what should we do with those sergeants who have evaded training. ”

"Do what you have to do, remember, it's better to deal with it lightly, if you can persuade it back, it's best. Dealing with those "deserters", Ye Shikai still couldn't bear to be ruthless, after all, anyone is afraid of death, let alone someone with family by his side.

"In addition, no one will give some copper coins to the sergeants who come to train, and it will not take a lot, at least it will encourage them. Ye Shikai said lightly.

"This ......"

"What's wrong. Seeing a few people with embarrassed faces, Ye Shikai asked coldly.

"According to the rules, if you want to reward the whole army, you must get the permission of the lord, now ...... Now the lord has not yet given the order. ”

"As one of the commanders of the Chu army, the 20,000 troops here are all under my command, and if I want to give rewards to his subordinates, I still need to get orders from the lord. ”

"General Ye, we all understand what you said, but this is an order issued by the lord himself, if we disobey it, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat and walk around. ”

Ye Shikai was angry, and endured it for a long time before he sent it out, rewards and punishments are just "commonplace" in the army, as the commander of these 20,000 troops, if he can't even say these small things himself, then what is there to talk about commanding the whole army.

.....................................................................

Ye Shikai returned to the camp tent, scolded angrily, and overturned the platform directly to the ground.

"Lao Ye, what's wrong with you, you're so angry. Shangguan Jian asked.

"Those bastards, even such a thing as giving rewards to the troops, have to be pushed back. Ye Shikai poured a sip of cold water, and then he dissipated his anger and told Shangguan Jian about the matter.

"Old Ye, most of those generals were directly planted by the lord. Shangguan Jian only replied, Ye Shikai already understood the meaning of his words, since he was a general installed by Miwen, he was naturally her cronies, compared to Ye Shikai's military orders, they naturally obeyed Miwen's military orders more, on the surface, Ye Shikai was the commander, but these generals were not his cronies, and there would naturally be many obstacles to the implementation of orders, if they went to the battlefield, this would be a big deal.

"It can't go on like this, these key positions must be replaced by our own people, at least, those people must follow my orders. ”

"Lao Ye, this matter must be done, otherwise if it goes on like this, the position of commander will be a false name. Shangguan Jian persuaded him.

"It seems that I have the right time to recruit customers. Ye Shikai stood up, "These days, I have selected some generals who are good at fighting from those guests, and he plans to bring them all over and arrange them in various important positions." ”

Ye Shikai arranged it like this, and he also thought about it a lot, it is a taboo for soldiers to discord with the generals, and these disciples are his henchmen, they would rather disobey Mi Wen's orders, and they will obey Ye Shikai's orders, and the "Dead Guards" he organized can also come in handy.

"It's true that you can better control this army with cronies, but ...... Does the main guild agree, replacing so many officers and replacing all of them with cronies, I am worried that the main guild will intervene. ”

"She doesn't agree that I will do the same, since the lord asked me to command the troops, what if I change a few generals, I will change this person, and I will change it immediately, first cut and then play. Ye Shikai said firmly.

.........................................................

Ye Shikai has always done what he says, not to mention that today's events have made him very annoyed, the sergeant training is lax and lazy, and there are even "deserters", the officers do not obey his orders, this is okay, in a fit of anger, Ye Shikai only took one afternoon, and all the more than 30 generals were replaced, and the entire army was "changed blood", and the replacement was naturally his cronies, of course, Ye Shikai did not only use his relatives and not the virtuous, these officers who were replaced passed his "screening" , the command and combat ability is not weak, and they are all brave and good at fighting, and they are by no means greedy for life and afraid of death.

As for the officers who were replaced, Ye Shikai also handled it properly, and each of them was given fifty taels of silver, which was Ye Shikai's private property, so he was not afraid of falling into the mouth.

"Lao Ye, the candidates have all been replaced. ”

"How's it going, is there any movement in the troops? Ye Shikai was worried that replacing all the officers at once would cause his subordinates to mutiny, so he was also very "careful" when handing over.

"It's nothing, the sergeants are just training normally, and it doesn't make a big difference. ”
