Hou Peiyu's words were half with the guards with military sticks in their hands, and half with Li Ke.

Li Ke looked at the guards who had stopped moving, and said angrily and loudly: "Battalion Commander Cao, you go." ”

"Yes! The last will obey. ”

Cao Yu, who was dressed in military uniform, was ruthless and ordered to walk towards Hou Peiyu.

When passing by the guard, he took the military stick from the guard's hand with a cold expression and continued to move forward.

Hou Peiyu hurriedly shouted: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, the general just drank some wine in a non-war situation, and the general was late for a while, the general is still sealed by His Majesty, do you really want to do it?" ”

At this time, Hou Peiyu was ready to tear his face with Li Ke for the sake of these thirty military sticks.

Li Ke looked at the angry Hou Peiyu and said sharply: "General Hou, you are the Dingyuan general personally appointed by Your Majesty, you should know about the matter of Your Majesty's imperial gift of the sword of this king Shangfang." If you don't drink alcohol during the war, you miss the general, hehe, if it's wartime, General Hou will delay the fighter plane, drink and make a mistake, and at that time, it will be too late for the king to cut off your head. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Ke said loudly: "The law of the country cannot be violated, and the military discipline cannot be violated, this is the king's request to you, including the king personally, can you do it?" ”

Hou Peiyu was afraid of the Shang Fang Sword in Li Ke's hand, and she was also honest.

With the experience of Hou Peiyu and Zheng Muchang, under the leadership of the guards, all the soldiers replied in unison: "Strictly abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty, strictly demand yourself, and do not violate military discipline." ”

"Be strict with yourself and remember military regulations."

Cao Yu shouted, brandishing his military stick and hitting Hou Peiyu.

The strength in Cao Yu's hands is really not small, and after the two of them finished taking thirty military sticks, they were already unconscious on the stage.

Li Ke continued: "Reading the first offense of the two generals, this king asked them to think about it, so that all the soldiers will remember my Tang military discipline in their hearts. ”

"Liu Dali, Zhang Sancai."

"The subordinates are here."

"Take Hou Duwei and Zheng Duwei down, take strict care of them, and think about them behind closed doors."

"Yes."

Liu Dali and Zhang Sancai walked into the ring, like chickens, lifted the unconscious two and walked out.

All the soldiers in the audience were silent, and the henchmen of the two did not dare to come forward rashly, and they were all afraid of the Shang Fang sword in Li Ke's hand.

Looking at the reaction of everyone in the audience, Li Ke said: "All the soldiers listen to the order, and those who are over forty-five years old and disabled will be listed." ”

After a while, two hundred people stood up from below, forming a small phalanx.

Li Ke walked up to the group of people and bowed deeply.

said: "This king is very ashamed to apologize to the soldiers, you will not have a chance to fight the battlefield in the future." ”

These people looked at Li Ke in confusion, not daring to reply, and worried in their hearts.

If you don't go to the battlefield, you don't have military pay and you don't have enough to eat.

After leaving the army, what else can they do, these soldiers who have lived on the edge of the knife all the year round can't help but be a little confused, and some of them have tears in their eyes.

The soldiers who were in the prime of life next to them were also pricking up their ears and paying attention to Li Ke's words, after all, they would be the same in the future.

I saw Li Ke say: "You will all become a logistics army." ”

"Lord Wang, what is the logistics army?"

Among the more than 200 people, some soldiers were bold and weakly asked.

"The so-called logistics army is to provide support for the livelihood, training, and equipment of ordinary soldiers."

"Rest assured, when you become a logistics army, your salary will also be paid."

Hearing this, all the soldiers were relieved, as long as they had military salaries, they would let themselves do it alone.

Looking at the soldiers who had calmed down, Li Ke said in a slow tone: "Some of you will go to repair weapons and armor, some will go to repair camp tents and training facilities, and some will go to raise livestock. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the remaining 1,000 people and said loudly: "In the future, if any of you is disabled and unable to fight, or who has reached the age of 45, he will automatically be transferred to the logistics army. You were born and died for my Datang, and I Datang can't abandon you. ”

Hearing these words, the soldiers couldn't believe their ears, and some even pinched themselves to determine the authenticity, which was unprecedented in history!

"Lord Wang, I can continue to go to the battlefield, serve the Lord Wang, and protect my Tang Dynasty."

Among the more than 200 soldiers, some soldiers said excitedly.

Li Ke said with relief: "Whether you go to the battlefield or not, you can do things for this king and serve the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Swear to follow the prince to the death."

More than a thousand soldiers, all kneeling towards Li Ke, shouted and shook the sky.

Looking at the more than 1,000 dogleg values added in the system, Li Ke understood that the effect of buying people's hearts by himself had been achieved.

Li Ke said excitedly: "From now on, this king will personally take over my Yizhou Military Guard Mansion, and will reformulate the law and military discipline of drills." ”

At this time, the Tang army, unlike the late Tang Dynasty, was full of powerful children.

These soldiers now are all from poor backgrounds, as long as they have enough food to eat and a military salary.

Even if there was a change in training and strict military discipline, they all looked at Li Ke with a blazing gaze and did not move.

Li Ke looked at everyone with satisfaction: "All the soldiers are not at loss to my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, this king promised you food and military salaries, this king will give you one by one, but this king will definitely be strict with you, under the king's men, military discipline and military regulations are the top priority, who dares to violate, don't blame this king for being polite." ”

"This king knows very little about the soldiers, this king will find a few people from the personal guards to serve as your commanders, however, this king is also very clear about the lord, this king believes that there must be people among you who are not convinced, think that this king is nepotistic, this king also gives you a chance, ten days later, this king will set up a ring, but those who are not satisfied can come to the stage to challenge, and the winner can take his place, after all, a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier."

Mastering the soldiers of the Guards Battalion and Yizhou Zhichong Mansion, Li Ke's heart was relieved.

The next step is to buy the loyalty of the guards of Jiameng Pass, Mianzhu Pass, Fushui Pass and Qutang Pass.

With the five passes in hand, Li Ke can be regarded as having Yizhou completely in his hands, and only then can he smoothly implement the reform.

Li Ke is going to visit these passes one by one after the year.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Ke did not return to the Shu Palace.

Li Ke stayed in the Zhechong Mansion and kept the New Year with all the soldiers.

That night, in Yizhou, a bunch of bonfires were lit in the house, taking away the cold of the winter night.

The game that the soldiers had hunted in advance was slaughtered and cleaned one by one and put on the fire.

"Cao Yu, take the king's token, go to the Shu King's Mansion to find a maid named Xi'er, and give the salt to the king's two bags."

Seeing the barbecue, Li Ke hurriedly ordered Cao Yu.

At the same time, Li Ke exchanged two catties of cumin from the system and ordered Zhang Sancai to carefully distribute it to everyone.

Celebrating the New Year's carnival, with the company of soldiers, Li Ke is not half lonely.
