There is a lack of the leader in everything.

On weekdays, soldiers obey the orders of officers and generals, and Shi Nai dares to be angry and dare not speak, not that they are really convinced.

Now Gao Quan said it impassionedly, which just ignited the anger of the soldiers.

When they think about it, they really feel that they are living in a nest.

Since they are all human beings, why should they be bullied and insulted?

Gao Quan raised his arms and shouted, and the rest of the soldiers responded. For a while, the crowd was excited.

Mutiny among soldiers has always been taboo in the military.

Especially the rebels like King Gui, who have just made a move and have a shaky momentum.

People follow the crowd, and once someone gathers to make trouble, it will definitely attract more people to join it.

Anyway, the law does not hold the people accountable, and even if the mutiny is really quelled, it is impossible for the officers to dispose of all the mutinous soldiers.

It was with this mentality that more and more soldiers joined the ranks of the troublemakers, and the momentum became more and more severe, even alarming King Gui.

Guiwang Zhu Youlang was drinking tea in the palace of Guangzhou City at the moment, and when he heard the news of the army mutiny, a mouthful of tea spewed out directly.

He couldn't figure out how this good army could mutiny?

He hurriedly called Ding Kuichu and Qu Shiyun to discuss countermeasures together.

Ding Kuichu was also very surprised when he heard the news, he thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, the top priority now is to stabilize the morale of the army, and not to let the situation worse." ”

Of course he understands this, but the question is how.

Ding Kuichu didn't say a reason for talking for a long time, which was really disappointing.

"How to stabilize the morale of the army?"

Zhu Youlang asked straight to the point.

"Your Highness, in the opinion of the ministers, there is only one reward."

Ding Kuichu's means are very direct, that is, Eli to entrap.

It doesn't matter what the other person's purpose is, as long as you can do things for him.

The loyalty of subordinates cultivated in this way can be imagined. They have milk and are mothers, and the reason why they work for Ding Kuichu is because the treatment provided by Ding Kuichu is not bad.

If someone offers a more generous treatment than Ding Kuichu, it is unknown that he will immediately change his flag.

Zhu Youlang was not very satisfied with this answer, and naturally turned to Qu Shiyun.

This is his confidant, who else can he ask if he doesn't ask for advice?

"What does Mr. Qu think?"

Qu Shiyun was named by Zhu Youlang, so he bowed and said respectfully: "Returning to His Royal Highness, it is better to suppress the mutiny immediately than to execute all the troublemakers, and then the mutiny will stop immediately." ”

"Oh?"

Zhu Youlang was a little interested.

Ding Kuichu and Qu Shiyun, one of them is strong and the other is soft, which are completely different strategies.

Zhu Youlang himself is inclined to Qu Shiyun.

First, it is because Zhu Youlang is mean and unkind by nature, and thinks that it is natural for his subordinates to serve him, and mutiny must not be allowed, and must be severely punished.

Second, he didn't think that rewarding and appeasing mutinous soldiers would be very effective.

You can appease them for a while, can you make them willing to die for you all the time?

This time you have rewarded each of them with ten taels of silver, and the next time they ask for a hundred taels, will you pay them back?

The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant, and greed is endless.

It's better to kill people.

But he couldn't help but give Ding Kuichu face.

After all, he is now in Ding Kuichu's lair, and Ding Kuichu's army accounts for the majority of the population.

"Ahem, whether it is a reward or appeasement, or killing people, it is just a means after all."

He paused for a moment, and then continued: "Everything is foreseen, and everything that is not prepared is wasted." Although this incident seems to be accidental, it is actually an explosion after a long period of accumulation. This king thinks that it should be solved from the root. ”

Ding Kuichu sighed secretly in his heart. This prince said such a big thing, but he didn't say why.

"What should I do with the king's opinion?"

"Give them promises."

Zhu Youlang said loudly: "The mutiny of the soldiers is nothing more than that they feel that there is no hope. And the king gave them hope. ”

"How does the prince give them hope?"

"This is simple, this king promises that after obtaining the great treasure of the world in the future, he will promote everyone to three levels in a row."

Zhu Youlang said very proudly.

Hearing this, Ding Kuichu almost laughed.

He thought it was a clever idea, but it turned out to be just a bad idea.

Three levels in a row? It sounds beautiful, but it's just a big pie in the air.

How many people have rebelled in history, and how many have succeeded in the end?

This King Gui has just raised his troops, and he has not yet made such a promise before he has written it.

If it was for someone like him or Qu Shiyun, it would be fine. However, King Gui planned to draw cakes for ordinary soldiers.

These soldiers mutinied because they lamented unfair treatment, and it is very useful if you don't appease them and draw a big pie in vain.

"The prince's words are wrong."

Ding Kuichu nodded mercilessly: "The prince's promise is very good, but it can only be fulfilled after winning the world." The soldiers were concerned about the present. If you can't satisfy them, I'm afraid there will be no then. ”

What he said was ugly, but it was very reasonable, and even Qu Shiyun said: "Your Highness, it is indeed not appropriate to just give promises. ”

The two courtiers were opposed, and Zhu Youlang couldn't hold it on his face.

He cleared his throat and said, "That's what this king said. Since the two of you don't think it's appropriate, then forget it. ”

"So what kind of advice did the prince decide to adopt? Reward or repression? ”

Ding Kuichu asked next.

Zhu Youlang only felt a headache.

The problem was thrown in front of him again.

"Let the king think about it."

He tapped his fingers in thought.

He didn't want to offend Ding Kuichu and didn't want Qu Shiyun, who firmly supported him, to chill his heart, this decision was really difficult to make.

After a long time, Zhu Youlang said slowly: "If this is not the case, only the first evil will be punished, and the accomplice will not be prosecuted, and each person will be rewarded with five taels of silver to appease." ”

Ding Kuichu and Qu Shiyun were both stunned when they heard this.

Isn't that just a knead of their proposals?

His Royal Highness King Gui is really good at mud.

"Your Highness is wise, this plan should be the best way now."

In the end, Qu Shiyun still wanted to maintain Zhu Youlang's authority, and he was the first to praise: "As soon as this plan is made, it will inevitably divide the mutinous soldiers and make them infighting." ”

Seeing this, Ding Kuichu knew that it was not suitable to raise the bar anymore, so he also nodded and said, "Your Highness, this is a clever plan." ”

Zhu Youlang saw that Ding Kuichu and Qu Shiyun both agreed, and said with joy in his heart: "Since this is the case, then do it." The confrontation between the two armies is particularly crucial. If there is anyone who takes the lead in making trouble and disturbing the hearts of our army, kill! ”

After he said that, he suddenly remembered something again, so he swallowed and said, "I don't know what happened to Zheng Zhilong." ”

Originally, they discussed sending troops at the same time, but there must be a priority in the specific fight.

If Zheng Zhilong's side can put pressure on the imperial army from the battlefield in the east, the pressure on the coalition army in the west can also be much less.
