Chapter 1518: Conquest of the Empire (14)

"Outsiders don't seem to have anything wrong with it, and I also know that you will use a title that is different from others to address the lord, to show that your relationship with the lord is very different, but don't you think that when all your cronies call the lord the lord, you call him an adult, don't you think it seems a little extraordinary?" Peter said. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhou Wen frowned and asked, "Lord Peter, what do you want to tell me?" ”

Peter smiled: "Listen, you call me an adult, and I call you an adult, if you still maintain the title of lord lord, will you feel a bit like you have reduced the lord to our level?" ”

Zhou Wen's body shook violently.

Zhou Wen has always felt that he has maintained the first title of his own adult, which is a matter of not forgetting his roots, but he didn't expect to put his own adult's identity on the same status as himself!

Damn, how come no one has ever reminded themselves of it?! Even Sun Jie didn't remind themselves?! If it weren't for Peter's reminder, I would still be stuck in self-righteous conjecture.

Thinking of this, Zhou Wen immediately saluted respectfully and said, "Thank you, Lord for reminding Zhou Wen, Zhou Wen is very grateful." ”

Peter waved his hand.

"It's nothing, everyone is a colleague who works for the lord, and it is appropriate to help each other."

With this incident, the conversation between the two became more enthusiastic.

Peter didn't care about reminding Zhou Wen on the surface, but in his heart he was very proud: hehe, just one sentence can get the favor of Zhou Wen, the important minister in charge of the two important departments of internal security and secret guard, which is really wonderful.

Those stupid people think that Zhou Wen is eager to be the wife and concubine of the lord, so he doesn't want to call the lord the lord, and he doesn't know how to observe words and feelings, people are stupid and loyal, as long as it is beneficial to the lord, Zhou Wen will accept it, and it has nothing to do with love at all!

Hey, I picked it up for nothing, and today I sold a good paragraph of my own words, maybe I will save my life because of it in the future.

"Lord, my subordinates think that the surrounding warlords are now at a critical point, so why don't you send people to fan the flames and frame them, causing them to fight each other?" Zhou Wen, who came back, suggested to Zhao Hu.

Before he spoke, he was still thinking about what he was going to call Zhao Hu, lord? It's a little too ordinary, almost everyone is called that now, but what about the master? The lord doesn't like this title of slave owner, uh, lord? That's what the secret guard system is called, well, that's what it's called.

Hearing this title, Zhao Hu was stunned, why did Zhou Wen suddenly change his title? However, I didn't think it was a big deal, so I didn't care, I just nodded and said: "Very good, but the main goal is the Lu family, let them and the surrounding warlords do it, so that it will be much easier for us to occupy this area." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it." Zhou Wen immediately said excitedly, he felt that he was a little inclined to be dark, if he didn't want to follow the Lord, he would definitely come to the front line to arrange it.

Compared with other places, the atmosphere in this area of the eastern part of the province is both dangerous and stable, although the surrounding warlords have already secretly made an agreement to carve up the Lu family, but suddenly a recent surprise attack to add a brigade regiment, the total strength of which reaches two brigades and two wings, and one of them is the third fleet of the cavalry wing.

Oh, it's not the Third Fleet, it's Colonel Zhao Hu's warlord, so that neither the Lu family nor the surrounding warlords dare to move, for fear that Zhao Hu, the new warlord, will take advantage.

Zhao Hu did not hide his identity, and the last time he fought, he directly hung the flag of the chief general with his name written on it.

After the last war, now in the entire coastal province, it is known that there is a new warlord named Zhao Hu in the east of the province with the rank of colonel.

As soon as Zhao Hu emerged, his previous experience was immediately revealed, which made many forces that could not jump and sweep very optimistic about Zhao Hu, the new warlord.

As for the people, since Zhao Hu himself was an in-service officer in the Haibin Province and belonged to the establishment of the Haibin Garrison Division, no one regarded him as an outsider.

And because Zhao Hu did not exaggerate his prestige by using the name of a general like other warlords, but honestly hung out the rank of colonel, making the people think that Zhao Hu was an honest warlord.

Although at first everyone was a little skeptical that this Zhao Hu would be just a lieutenant colonel, after all, it was recorded in the information.

However, after the gossip came out of the Governor's Palace, everyone understood that Zhao Hu's rank of colonel was not appointed by the Imperial Military and Political Department, but the original division commander, and the current governor was promoted, which was considered a temporary title, but this also confirmed Zhao Hu's honesty.

After getting these news, the Qin family was very proud, hehe, borrowing the tiger skin to pull the banner is a wonderful trick, I didn't expect it to become a local warlord in Haibin Province so easily, I thought that there would be some trouble to make the world recognize.

As for how Zhao Hujun could stand with the Third Fleet, I don't know if it was because he was worried about the reaction of other fleets, or because he was afraid that he would be too ostentatious and too ostentatious, anyway, Zhao Hujun just announced to the outside world that he had formed an extremely strong military-political alliance with the Third Fleet.

Although the people of the Third Fleet secretly pouted: What an extremely strong alliance, it is better to say than to sing, and he is simply a subordinate of Zhao Hujun! Let the subordinates who go wherever they go, and let them do whatever they want! But on the bright face, he nodded with a smile in agreement with Zhao Hujun's statement, and was very grateful to Zhao Hujun in his heart.

Because this statement saved the face of his Third Fleet, it also made the people of the Third Fleet resist Zhao Hujun greatly, and even worked harder to serve Zhao Hu.

However, although the warlords in the eastern part of the province did not start a major war because of various concerns and containment, no one could stand such a confrontation.

The warlords in the eastern part of the province, including the Lu family, sent people to inquire about Zhao Hu's intentions. This new warlord who came out of nowhere has 20,000 or 30,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and he is completely a super bargaining chip that will win on either side of the fall, and he must be wooed.

Since Zhao Hu had participated in the meeting of officers of the garrison division held by Haibin Province before the warlord turmoil, most of the officers who were warlords knew Zhao Hu, a young officer who jumped to the rank on the spot, and many warlords sent their own cronies to carry handwritten letters to cover them.

Zhao Hu responded lukewarmly to these, neither letting them feel arrogant, nor making them feel that they were bullying, anyway, Zhao Hu was dragging out time, quietly waiting for the time to come.

The confrontation pattern was quickly broken, and the troops patrolling the Lujia border did not know who killed them, and after the reinforcements arrived, only a corpse was left in a daze, and there was not even a trace at all.

Hearing the news, the surrounding warlords shouted that they didn't do it themselves, and told the Lu family to calm down and not fall for other people's tricks.

Just when the Lu family was arguing about who was the real murderer, the main leader of the warlord group, which was the least powerful among the surrounding warlords, was suddenly assassinated at the same time, and a warlord on the side saw that the bargain appeared and immediately annexed this territory that had completely lost its command.

As soon as this action came out, there was an immediate uproar, and the surrounding warlords accused this warlord of taking advantage of the danger!

And the Lu family didn't know what was going on, so they immediately sent troops to attack this warlord.

The surrounding warlords immediately rejoiced, but on the surface, they pretended to be fair, and even prepared to unite against the Lu family and the warlord. But I don't know what's going on, the news leaked out as soon as possible, and the two families who were originally fighting for life and death immediately stopped making peace, and at the same time exerted their efforts to quickly destroy a warlord who was the most noisy.

As soon as this trick came out, the surrounding warlords' eyes were red, dare you two be playing?!

Without saying a word, immediately deploy troops to fight. So it didn't take long for the eastern part of the province to completely enter a period of war-torn melee.

And when the warlords in the eastern province confronted each other and tried to attack, shouting and threatening each other, and the war had not yet broken out, Zhao Hu's side began to implement a new identity hierarchy because of Peter's return again.

The slaves, who were lazy and powerless because of their lack of hope, immediately exuded amazing enthusiasm after knowing the existence of the status hierarchy and the conditions for how to advance to the status hierarchy, and began the construction in full swing with the craftsmen.

As for how fanatical the slaves were? A huge dock that was simple but enough to moor more than a dozen warships was actually managed by them in a month.

After the construction of this huge dock, which replaced the small dock of the Third Fleet and stood proudly over the coastal province, hundreds of slaves were promoted to untouchables, and several slaves were directly converted into commoners. The slaves did not complain about the results announced, it was so fair that people were speechless, it was completely meritorious, but it also made the slaves more fanatical.

Seeing this fruit, Zhao Hu rewarded Peter fiercely, making Peter a third-class sincere scribe of the same level as the old family.

However, Peter, who was born to work hard, immediately rushed to Bright Moon City and began to prepare an agency specifically responsible for converting the rank of retainers into civil warriors.

Originally, Zhao Hu was not going to change the retainer system on the Southeast Peninsula, but who told the retainers that they knew that they would develop in the empire in the future and spend the rest of their lives, so they all insisted on the implementation of the status hierarchy system in the entire territory of the Qin family.

So, Zhao Hu, who was a little indifferent to this, easily nodded and agreed, but this made the proponent of the identity hierarchy bitter.

With the outbreak of war in the east of the province, more and more people fled from all directions into the Zhao Hujun secession, which was the only stable place in the east of the province, so that the territory of the Zhao Hujun bid farewell to the population structure of soldiers or slaves, and finally the population structure of ordinary people.
