Han Qian's remarks really shocked Fan Xicheng and them, and they all looked at the head of the family, Han Daoxun, they really didn't know what effect Han Qian would have if he was "messing around" like this, but they didn't know how to refute it.

"The things in this courtyard are all controlled by you Qian'er, there is still an article unfinished for my father, you have been busy with things here first, and then come to me later." After Han Daoxun said that, he stood up and asked Han Laoshan to accompany him back to the mansion first, and asked Fan Xicheng, Zhao Kuo, Fan Dahei, Lin Haizheng and others to stay and assist Han Qian in teaching these soldiers.

Han Qian asked Lin Haizheng to call the five teenagers who were considered by Fan Xicheng to be clumsy and clumsy, almost the thinnest, to the bottom of the corridor, seeing that these five teenagers were skinny and skinny, and they didn't even dare to stand up straight, thinking that they would give them four or five years to cultivate and temper little by little, and maybe they could achieve the effect of "everyone can be used", but at this time, what he was most worried about in his heart was that if the historical trajectory did not change, his father would soon be killed by the rod in front of the Wenying Palace, and when he escaped from Jinling, It is likely that these soldiers who are usually supported and favored by his family will be sent to the city by the chariot.

Although in the past two or three months, Han Qian has also intended to exert grace and prestige on Fan Xicheng and others, as long as the Han family does not change, his power over these soldiers under him is enough - except for the unpredictable Zhao Kuo, Fan Xicheng, Fan Dahei, Lin Haizheng and others will not disobey him at will.

However, one day, before his father was killed by the rod in Wenyingdian, he became the "rebel party" hunted by the imperial court, and his "might" could still make Fan Xicheng and these family soldiers obey?

Even if there were no sporadic memories of this historical process from Zhai Xinping, the person in the dream realm, Han Qian had deeply reflected on the method of controlling people during this time, and he was deeply skeptical of this!

The five children selected by Fan Xicheng are all the heirs of the family soldiers, who have followed their father and brother to practice martial arts since childhood, and grew up in the Han family, are well-informed, naturally astute, and have the potential to be military attachés, but Han Qian knows that these children of the family soldiers are the same as Fan Xicheng, once they become "against the party", it is not enough to make them obey.

Han Qian chose the children of the hungry people, and even chose the five people who looked the most simple and inconspicuous among the children of the hungry people, and he liked that their simplicity of mind was one thing.

On the other hand, these five people can only obtain a status and service from Han Qian that they dare not hope for, once something happens to Han Qian, they will lose everything.

This is destined to make their loyalty to Han Qian much more reliable than those children of the astute family soldiers.

Of course, Han Qian would not reveal his true thoughts.

The five weak teenagers didn't know why they were called to the bottom of the corridor, and when they heard that they were going to be selected as captains, and led the other teenagers to read and write and practice swords, bows, and fists every day, they were all shocked and suspicious, and they all wondered if they had heard it wrong.

There are thirteen teenagers in the courtyard, who were originally the children of the family soldiers, and their fathers and brothers are all in the family head and the predecessor, and they know that these children of the family soldiers who have succeeded them are actually the children of the embarrassed homeless people.

They never thought that the young master Han Qian would actually choose the five homeless children they looked down on the most and lead them to practice on weekdays.

They were still young and didn't know how to hide their inner dissatisfaction, so they immediately started talking noisily below, with an indignant look on their faces.

Han Qian glanced at Fan Xicheng and said in a deep voice: "This is the child of the family soldier you disciplined, Master Fan?" ”

Fan Xicheng had a dark face and wanted to defend himself.

Han Qian ignored him, stared at the five weak young men in front of him who had not yet figured out the situation, and said, "In the future, in this courtyard, each of you will lead seven people to be disciplined, and the daily life of these seven people will also be controlled by you. Lin Haizheng and Fan Dahei will tell you what to do and how to do it every day, but what you have to remember is: if you do something wrong yourself, or if you don't do it well, you will be punished; Your men have done wrong and have not done a good job, and you cannot punish them for correcting them, but you will be punished. You should know that it is not easy to have enough to eat, and I will not keep useless people here, and if any of you is punished more than ten times in a year, I will drive you and your family out of the city again to fend for themselves, and there will be no useless idlers in this courtyard. ”

Han Qian's voice was very calm and his expression was very gentle, and then he raised his eyebrows, and said: "The person who made a noise in the audience just now, you each pick one person out and whip ten times as a punishment!" ”

The five weak teenagers looked at each other, looked at Han Qian, looked at the horsewhip resting on the railing of the corridor, and hesitantly looked at the teenagers in the audience who were hiding disdain and ridicule, no one dared to point out that one person would be punished.

"Light a stick of incense, and when the incense is exhausted, and if they don't make a move, they themselves will be punished with ten lashes, counted once." Han Qian said to Fan Dahei without hurry.

Fan Dahei took out the copper stove and placed it under the porch, and lit incense.

The young men in the courtyard did not dare to make any noise at this time, but they still did not believe that the five fellows, who were much thinner and weaker than them, dared to choose one of them from each of them, and took up the horsewhip and whipped it ten times.

Han Qian sat under the porch, and without saying a word, he watched the incense in the copper furnace burning little by little; The young Zhao Wuji put the black cloud bow behind his back and secretly thought about Han Qian's method of selecting people.

Lin Haizheng and Fan Dahei both felt that the atmosphere was terrifyingly depressing; Zhao Kuo narrowed his eyes and stared at the pomegranate tree in the southeast corner of the courtyard, unable to see what thoughts were hidden in his eyes.

It was almost halfway through the burning of the incense that a weak young man gritted his teeth and stood up to pick up the horsewhip.

Han Qian had an impression of this young man, his name was Guo Nuer, he was fourteen years old at this time, but he was as weak as a ten-year-old child, and he was originally from Chaozhou. In the eighth year of Tianyou, Chaozhou was invaded by the Liang State, 10,000 houses were destroyed, hundreds of thousands of Chaozhou people crossed the river for refuge, his father died on the way, and his mother carried Guo Xiong and his two young brothers and sisters to beg for Jinling for several years.

Guo Nu'er was too thin, and her mother was also frail and sickly, so she was not in Han Qian's choice.

Guo Nuer's young brother had just starved to death for a few days, and because Guo Nuer and his mother had little strength, they buried the young corpse with a branch and digging a pit not deep.

When Han Qian went out of the city the day before yesterday, he happened to see the body of Guo Nuer's younger brother being dug out of the deserted grave by a pack of wild dogs.

Han Qian drove away the wild dogs, and in the end, they couldn't bear it, and sent Guo Nu'er's brothers and sisters and their mother to Qiuhu Mountain Villa to settle down.

It just so happened that there was a lame soldier from Chaozhou who didn't mind taking in these three hard-working fellow villagers, and Guo Nuer justifiably became the child of a naturalized soldier in Qiuhu Mountain.

Guo Nu'er walked down the field with courage, and walked to a soldier who was much stronger than him, and was about to say something, but was glared at, so he walked to the next person with a weak heart, but after hesitating for a while, he still walked back to the soldier's child.

It was indeed this person who was the loudest just now.

Han Qian saw that the soldier's children were gritting their teeth and widening their eyes, as if they were threatening Guo Nu'er with a suppressed voice, probably still didn't believe that this weak young man who was his age but was a head lower than him really dared to do anything to him.

"Lin Zongjing, kneel down to the corridor to receive the whip!" Lin Haizheng, who was standing behind Han Qian, shouted in a low voice.

Han Qian took a look at the roster, and only then did he know that this soldier was Lin Haizheng's nephew, who was only thirteen years old this year, but his height was like an adult; His father was originally a family soldier next to his father Han Daoxun, whose father died in the Chuzhou War, and then Lin Haizheng officially became the family soldier of the Han family.

Lin Haizheng's words still worked, Lin Zongjing was unconvinced, but he still walked to the front of the corridor and knelt on his knees.

Guo Nuer walked over with a horsewhip, but when she walked behind Lin Zongjing, she still hesitated.

Han Qian took out another horsewhip, pointed at Guo Nu'er, and asked sternly: "Lin Zongjing has nothing to do, he deserves to be punished for his contempt for family rules." Guo Nu'er, if you don't punish him at this time, do you want to be punished for him and receive me ten lashes? And Lin Zongjing will be under your control in the future, every time he is unruly, you will be punished instead, how long do you want it to be before you, your sister Guo Ling, and your mother Guo Yang will be expelled to fend for themselves? ”

"......" Guo Nuer bit her pale lip, a wisp of blood overflowed, and walked behind Lin Zongjing with a little trembling with a horsewhip in her hand.

Lin Zongjing was unruly, turned his head and glared at Guo Nu'er again, Han Qian raised his whip, slashed his head and face and whipped him twice, knocking him to the ground: "Bastard guy, it's the other way around!" ”

Han Qian's two whips were directly slapped on Lin Zongjing's head and face mercilessly, and two bloody whip marks were immediately drawn, almost bursting his left eye!

"Guo Nu'er, with the remaining eight whips, you take off Lin Zongjing's clothes and give me a beating!" Han Qian hated the unruliness of his soldiers the most, so Guo Nuer continued to whip Lin Zongjing, walked under the corridor, glared at Fan Xicheng, Lin Haizheng and others, and then sat back on the chair to watch Guo Nuer peel off Lin Zongjing's jacket.

During this time, on the one hand, he wanted to regain the trust of his father Han Daoxun, and on the other hand, he had to make up for the homework that had been abandoned for too long, and he had not found time to clean up these unruly family soldiers and the children of family soldiers.

Guo Nu'er didn't have much strength, and it would have been okay to take him ten whips through a thick jacket, but at this time, he stripped off his clothes and bare his back, and every whip was pulled down, and a shallow blood mark remained.

"Do you find someone to be punished, or do you take their place?" Han Qian stared at the remaining four weak teenagers in front of the corridor and asked.

With Guo Nuer whipping Lin Zongjing in the front, and then picking people out to strip naked and torture, no one dares to bare their teeth and stare at them anymore.

"If you have the ambition of a tiger and a wolf, you will not be afraid of a tiger or wolf. Could it be that in this life, you will be willing to become a lamb who is deceived by others, eaten by others, and starved to death? ”

Han Qian stared at Guo Nu'er and the other five teenagers, and asked in a sonorous voice.

Seeing that Guo Nu'er and the other teenagers didn't dare to respond, Han Qian didn't expect them to complete the transformation from lamb to tiger wolf in one day, and said to Zhao Wuji: "Guo Nu'er and the others will be under your control in the future. ”

After explaining some things, Han Qian left Zhao Wuji, Fan Dahei, Lin Haizheng and others in the mansion by the river, first taught these teenagers some basic rules, and he went back to the mansion with Fan Xicheng and Zhao Kuo first, not knowing what else his father wanted to say to him so late.
