The governor's son also laughed and said: "Yes, not only the Lu family, but also other warlords, all of them have been forced by the Lu family to only recruit all the soldiers, it is estimated that if someone organizes it, it is very likely that all the warlords will jointly crusade against the Lu family." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"It's not possible, but it has already appeared, according to intelligence, the surrounding warlords of the Lu family have begun to connect in tandem because they really can't bear such attrition, and they are ready to eliminate the root of the Lu family." The Governor laughed.

"Oh, isn't this Lu family finished? Do you think they're going to strike first? The governor's son asked curiously.

The Governor shook his head and sighed, "Whoever strikes first, the Seaside Province will once again be in a warlord melee that is bigger than ever." ”

The governor's son was very happy in his heart, and at the same time he was extremely gloating, let's fight, it's better to join in and fight a defeat, so that my father's army can easily control the entire seaside province!

However, he didn't dare to express this thought, so he had to forcibly suppress his excitement and change the topic: "Alas, I really didn't expect the Third Fleet to be so strong, and it would easily wipe out the Lu family's army." Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a big deal, when did Major General Liu Ming become so powerful? ”

The governor shook his head and said, "This battle has nothing to do with Rear Admiral Liu Ming, the Marine Corps that we thought was the Third Fleet, and the main general's flag is the colonel's flag. ”

"Colonel military flag? When did the Third Fleet come out with such a powerful officer? ”

The governor's son was astonished.

The governor pointed to himself a little proudly: "This colonel is not from the Third Fleet, this colonel is still appointed by you and me." ”

"Ahh You appointed?! ”

The governor's son was extremely shocked, wouldn't he, his father, who had passed by such a big deal? Actually laid out such a chess piece early?

The governor sighed with a look of recollection: "This colonel is the Colonel Zhao Hu I mentioned to you before, I didn't expect him to return to the seaside province." ”

"Uh, is that Colonel Zhao Hu who took away a large number of strong men and craftsmen? Didn't the intelligence show that he had already been killed by Lord Kate, the commander of the local garrison division in the neighboring province? How could he still run back with such a strong force? The governor's son was astonished.

The Governor said disdainfully, "Destroyed? Hmph, when I knew that Kate attacked Zhao Hu's territory without losing his troops, I knew that he was just forcing Zhao Hu away.

"Otherwise, according to Zhao Hu's ability to lead troops, if Kate really fights with Zhao Hu, how can she be disgraced and lose her troops, where can there be no damage?"

The governor's son pondered for a moment and asked cautiously, "Father, didn't you say that this Zhao Hu is a noble person in the imperial capital?" Why did he come back here? Could it be that he was under the orders of some contender for the throne? Will you come here to develop? ”

The governor thought for a moment, and first nodded: "It's very likely, otherwise it wouldn't have taken so long to come back, and if that's not the case, it can't explain why Zhao Hu didn't go to Kate immediately to take revenge." ”

Then he shook his head: "Anyway, don't worry about their troubles." ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly stared at his son and said word by word: "Remember, we will never mess with anything related to imperial power, so you must not test Zhao Hu, we will treat him as an ordinary warlord, and let them make trouble!" ”

The governor's son who was seen through was immediately startled, and hurriedly nodded in agreement, feeling bitter in his heart, his father was so timid that he didn't even try?

If you were the governor, you would never give up like this, but if you fail and flee to a foreign country immediately, you can still live a rich life? It's just that my father rejected his proposal on the grounds that the victor would hold a grudge.

It's a pity that the military and political power is in the hands of his father, especially the direct male of the entire family is himself and his father, and it is impossible to find a powerful clansman to help persuade him.

Alas, forget it, you should try to enjoy the glorious life of the young governor who is about to expire.

I just feel that it is a pity to give up investment like this.

The warlords of the Seaside Province were all on the verge of breaking out, but because of their concerns, none of them were the first to attack.

And just as everyone was facing each other, the base of the Third Fleet once again welcomed a huge transport fleet.

With the landing of the ship's personnel, the family members of the Third Fleet were dumbfounded again, this Qin family is too much, right? See what they shipped?

A fierce integrated cavalry wing is the kind of standard imperial cavalry wing of one man and two horsemen in the heyday of the empire! An Empire-standard infantry brigade that was just as murderous as last time, in addition to the army, had a large amount of supplies and equipment waiting to be removed from the ship.

The families of the Third Fleet who automatically stepped forward to help, the more excited they became, the more they moved, the more they moved, the more they moved, hehe, with these two brigades and a cavalry wing guarding, they finally didn't have to live the days of worrying all day long.

However, compared with the families of the Third Fleet, the captured Lu family soldiers were not so excited, and not long after the transport ship arrived, they said goodbye to the good days of sleeping after eating and sleeping in the prisoner camp.

Each captive received tools, and then, under the command of the craftsman, under the supervision of the army, began heavy manual labor.

Some of the more heartless and stupid guys, after enjoying a good life, were suddenly treated as slaves, and the huge difference made them very dissatisfied, and they actually jumped out to protest against the abuse of the prisoners and demanded that the treatment of the original good life be restored.

There are these guys who jumped out to test the limelight, and the other captives are all hiding on the sidelines to see what the other party's charter is, why it has been more than ten days since they were captured at the beginning, not only did they not recruit their own people into the army, but also ignored them, and they had good food and shelter, but now they suddenly enslaved their own people, is there something that has changed the world?

As the captives feared, those who jumped out to protest were hung up and smoked half to death by the vicious soldiers, and all the prisoners' meals for the day were canceled.

Originally, some people jumped out and shouted because they were hungry, but after the soldiers who were watching them hacked to death without saying a word, the captives learned the identity of their slaves from the shouts of the enemy soldiers, and immediately realized that they were about to die, and they could be sure that the future was already dark.

Just as the captives, after a period of suffering, began to secretly consider whether to riot or flee or accept their fate, a middle-aged man who looked like a high-ranking official read to himself, the slaves, including the families of the army, the decree of status hierarchy issued by the warlord who ruled the area, which took effect immediately.

"Peter, why are you here?" Zhao Hu was very surprised to see Peter, who was supposed to be in Bright Moon City, appear in front of him.

After Peter saluted, he said with a smile: "Lord, the subordinate thinks that he is still a little familiar with the empire and should be able to contribute some strength to the great cause of the lord, so Mao recommended himself to serve as the lord's staff officer, hoping that the lord will accept the minister's extravagant hopes." ”

Zhao Hu smiled, if you really want to talk about the familiarity with the empire, this Peter who has served as the highest civil and political governor of Haiquan Province is definitely the first in the Qin family, and he is also the kind of first who left the second place.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hu immediately nodded and said, "Very good, I just need a helper, you can come in time for rain." Well, there's something you need to look at now. ”

Zhao Hu was not polite, and asked Zhou Wen to tell Peter about the latest information and surrounding developments.

However, Zhou Wen was only halfway through speaking, Peter interrupted: "Lord, the subordinate is not proficient in military affairs, and the subordinate has a proposal that he wants to report to the lord." ”

Peter's move made Zhao Hu stunned, and Zhou Wen was even more angry.

Didn't you say the staff officer? If you don't even listen to military intelligence, then what's the staff? Don't you know how uncomfortable it is to let yourself talk halfway?

Peter ignored Zhou Wen's mentality, and only after getting Zhao Hu's permission did he continue: "The subordinates think that if our Qin family wants to gain a firm foothold in the empire, then we need to completely integrate into the empire, and we must not let the people of the empire think that we are outsiders. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hu and Zhou Wen both nodded in agreement: "Then what should we do?" ”

"It's very simple, just abolish the military and political titles in the Southeast Peninsula, and then govern the local management army according to the original military and political titles of the empire."

"It's as simple as changing the name? However, those of us who came from the empire don't care, we can get used to it quickly, but those from the Southeast Peninsula, I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to get used to this state that is completely opposite to what they are used to, and I am afraid that there will be complaints. Zhou Wen interjected.

Peter smiled confidently and said: "In fact, just by calling the generals and changing the military and political titles of the empire, as long as the power and status remain unchanged, they will not have any complaints."

However, since they enjoyed the kind of hierarchy that was admired by all the people, and which was clear and extremely strict, it is believed that the change was also directed at this aspect. Therefore, the subordinate suggested that the lord should implement a hierarchy of status for everyone in his sphere of influence. ”

"Hierarchy of status? What is it? Zhao Hu and Zhou Wen were both curious.

"That is, whether it is officials, soldiers, people, or slaves, there are three, six, nine and other differences, and those with high ranks can have all kinds of preferential treatment, so that they can firmly control everyone in the territory."
