In a dilapidated ancient temple.

Shang Kexi spread a brocade quilt snatched from a large family on the ground with a disgusted face, then sat on it, and said to his younger brother Shang Xin: "Sit down, wait for the two brothers Yue Changgui and Shang Yunzuo to have a meeting." ”

"Big brother, I just don't understand, why don't you go to Wendeng County to find a better house to discuss matters, but you want to come to this broken temple, like a bandit!"

Shang Xin said with some opinions.

"You know what! We are now a mighty army, we have to abide by the rules of the mighty army, before you were pretending to be bandits to clean up the squires of Wendeng County, now you are a mighty army, you can't rob, and you can't occupy the houses casually, but now the people of the entire Wendeng County still don't trust us very much, don't let us use their houses, can't give money, in the words of the Shang Yunzuo brothers who were sent to manage the civil affairs of Wendeng County, the mass base here is still very weak, so we can only live in this broken temple, let the people believe that we have committed nothing to them! ”

Shang Kexi said.

"But I just feel aggrieved to be here, and it's not interesting to be in front of this mighty army!"

Shang Xin said.

"Then you have to beat the mighty army, beat the Jiannu, now we can only follow them, and we can also make a fortune together, a full thirty percent, what are you not satisfied with!"

Shang Kexi said.

"But he didn't let us recruit our own soldiers and horses, what is the point of asking for so much money, and also sent our family cavalry to help them train cavalry, as a result, their cavalry treatment is good, and the monthly money is more, so that many of my family members want to go over, and they are no longer willing to admit that they are our Shang family's family members, and they also began to claim that they are the cavalry of the mighty army, I drew the whip of several family members, and they have only reined in a little! If it goes on like this, I'm really worried that these remnants of our Shang family will really become his mighty army. ”

Shang Xin said.

Shang Kexi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "What can you do, people are swords, I am fish and meat, admit it, the mighty army is benevolent and righteous enough, if it weren't for our skin, they would have killed us all!" ”

Shang Xin didn't dare to deny this, so he didn't speak again.

What Shang Kexi and Shang Xinxin didn't notice was that these words were listened to by a cronie behind him.

Taking advantage of the changing of the guard, this cronie came to the field during the time of the relieve, learned a few nightingales, and then walked out alone: "What's the matter?" ”

"If you go back to your father, the Shang brothers have talked about our mighty army today."

As he spoke, he told this man what the Shang family brother had said.

"Got it," the man replied and vanished.

At this time.

Yue Changgui and Shang Yunzuo walked towards this ancient temple.

A garrison soldier beside Yue Changgui walked over: "Sir, the people from the intelligence department just now, the Shang family brothers have discussed the matter of the mighty army today, please consider for yourself how to get along with the Shang family brothers." ”

As he spoke, the guard told Yue Changgui what he said.

Yue Changgui nodded, and told Shang Yunzuo this again.

A month ago, Lu Yuan also reformed the military structure of the mighty army, so as to avoid the phenomenon of being difficult to control caused by the head of an army fighting independently in charge of the military and political power, and at the same time, it was also for the purpose of allowing different commanders to play their respective roles, and at the same time to avoid a situation in which a leader would be left without a leader after the sacrifice of one leader.

At this time, Shang Yunzuo was the instructor of the Wendeng County Mighty Army Independent Bureau, which was at the same level as Yue Changgui, and was responsible for the political and civil work of the entire Wendeng County.

After hearing this, Shang Yunzuo couldn't help but say: "The official said that Shang Kexi is still needed to cover up between the imperial court and our mighty army, so we still need to get along with them, but discipline must be strictly followed!" The official said that the biggest limit is house arrest! ”

"That's the case, so on the surface you can be polite, but in principle, we can't give in, our task is not only to open up Wendeng County to become the territory of our mighty army, but also to monitor and transform his Shang Kexi department."

Yue Changgui walked into the temple first, his face full of threat: "General Shang, I've kept you waiting, there is something on the road between me and Shang Gui to delay temporarily, and I ask the two generals to forgive me." ”

Shang Xin snorted, turned his face to the side and didn't speak, he couldn't be angry that now these lowly people who used to be just ordinary homeless people can now be on an equal footing in front of him and his eldest brother.

Shang Yunzuo didn't get angry, but still talked to this Shang Credible in the past.

At the same time, Yue Changgui talked to Shang Kexi.

Shang Kexi is a little more knowledgeable about current affairs than his younger brother, and he also has a smile on his face: "Where is it, why should Chief Yue be polite, the inferior gentleman's family wealth copied this time, presumably the two of them have already been checked, I don't know when they can send the share that belongs to Shang?" ”

"It's been delivered, General Shang can let people check it out immediately!"

Yue Changgui said at this time.

Shang Xin obeyed and ran out, and when he saw that the mighty army was true to his words and did not lose their money, his face was a little softer.

At this time, Yue Changgui began to get down to business: "According to the instructions of the official, we must open up Wendeng County into a second mighty military base, and the first thing this base needs to do is to establish military-civilian relations, and the most important point in establishing military-civilian relations is to re-divide the fields and land. In addition, there is the issue of the base area that we have opened up this time, and this will be explained by the business instructor. ”

"Hmm!"

Shang Yunzuo took out a map, pointed to Weihaiwei, and said: "Our mighty army has established a base in Wendeng County this time, and the main purpose is to obtain an outlet to the sea in the future, so after our base takes root in Wendeng County, the main expansion direction is to expand along the Weihaiwei area, and strive to incorporate Weihaiwei into our base as soon as possible, in order to obtain an outlet to the sea as soon as possible. Nor will it be true. ”

Shang Kexi nodded, he had to admit that this mighty army really knew how to think, and couldn't help asking, "I wonder if Master Lu has any other instructions?" ”

"Naturally, the official means that the focus is on the rural areas first, and the county seat can be set aside for Wendeng County, and the merchants of Weihai Acropolis will not move first, and there will be a source of commercial taxes at that time, so as to realize the strategy of surrounding the city with the countryside, so the headquarters of Wendeng Camp that we are about to set up is not in the county seat, but in the hot spring town closer to Weihaiwei!"

Business operations return.

Shang Kexi looked at the location of the hot spring town and couldn't help but say: "I don't have any other requirements, I just want to ask if I can be allowed to build a mansion in the hot spring town by myself, and I will spend my own money." ”。

"Since it is the general who spends his own money, we naturally have nothing to say!"

Yue Changgui replied.
