Chapter 46: Submission
In the early morning of the 2nd day, the sun rose, the golden sunlight sprinkled all over the land outside Dengzhou City, with a burst of drums, less than half an hour, the camp of the broken army sounded a neat footsteps, the soldiers began to train in formation, due to the special situation now Liu Fan canceled the morning exercise training and directly started the battle formation training, under the supervision of each captain, the soldiers shouted in unison "kill" the spear stabbed out, the murderous aura overflowed, and the sound resounded throughout the school field.
The Liaodong Army, who was sleeping, suddenly woke up when they heard the sound, and thought that the enemy was coming, so they picked up their weapons, put on armor and ran out of the tent in a panic to prepare for battle. Suddenly, the entire Liaodong Army camp was full of chickens and dogs, and there was a chaotic sound. After a long time, I finally lined up to prepare for battle under the shouts of the officers, and after waiting for a long time, I found that only the shouts of killing came, but there was no enemy attacking. The attentive soldiers found that the voice came from the camp of the Broken Army, and the Liaodong Army breathed a sigh of relief, because the Broken Army had already done it if they wanted to kill them, and it would not wait until now. The curious soldiers sneaked to the vicinity of the camp of the Broken Army to watch from a distance, and found that the Broken Army was training, and ran back to the camp to tell everyone that the soldiers had heard about it and went to watch. I saw the broken army standing in the school field, the spear stabbed out, accompanied by a neat shout, the fierce breath came to the face, even the battle-hardened Liaodong soldiers couldn't help but feel a chill.
Liu Fan didn't stop the Liaodong soldiers who came to watch secretly, just because he wanted them to see the training of the Broken Army and deter the ill-intentioned people among them. On this day, Liu Fan didn't care about the reaction of the soldiers of the Liaodong Army, he still took care of his own training soldiers, but secretly sent Wang Yong and other ten Jinyi guards to the Liaodong Army to investigate the evildoers among them, and with the means of Jinyiwei, Liu Fan believed that he would soon be able to identify the black sheep among them! For three days in a row, Liu Fan did not dispose of the Liaodong Army except for sending things to the Liaodong Army every dinner and eating, which won the hearts of the people.
That night, Wang Yong suddenly found Liu Fan, who was handling official business, and reported, "My lord! The basic situation of the surrender of the army in Liaodong has been clarified! Among them, a total of 264 people participated in the Dengzhou massacre, including 18 officers, three sentry commanders and above, one general, and the rest were ordinary soldiers. Here's the list! Please take a look! ”
Liu Fan took the list handed over by Wang Yong, looked at it and said, "It's done well, Ah Yong, you are worthy of being the elite of Jinyiwei, the new drop of the Liaodong Army is rash, I am afraid that it will cause a mutiny, this time thanks to you, otherwise I would really be a dog biting a hedgehog and have nowhere to go!" With this list, I'm good to go! “
"My lord! This is a subordinate duty, and I dare not take credit! Wang Yong said humbly
"Hehe... To do well is to do well! You deserve this compliment! I just have something to do for you! Tomorrow, you go to the camp of the Broken Army and select some capable people to be responsible for intelligence work! Only responsible for me in the future! We have suffered a big loss by participating in the war this time without intelligence sources! As a result, the Broken Army suffered heavy losses, and in the future, you will use your strength to be in charge of intelligence! Liu Fan thought about it for a while and still said the idea he had a long time ago!
When Wang Yong heard that Liu Fan handed over such an important matter to himself, he was taking himself as a confidant and giving him a heavy responsibility, and immediately knelt on the ground: "My lord! Thank you for your trust, and your subordinates will swear allegiance to your lordship! ”
Liu Fan hurriedly stood up and hugged Wang Yong and said, "You don't have to be like this, you and I have been together for so long, we know each other very well, and you know very well what kind of person I am!" If you want you to live up to me, Liu Fan will definitely be worthy of you! Do your best! There will be your benefits in the future! ”
"Yes! My lord! Wang Yong said excitedly
Liu Fan took Wang Yong's hand and said, "Now there is a very important task entrusted to you, Your Majesty will soon appoint me as the deputy envoy of Laizhou salt transportation, and be fully responsible for the official salt operation in Denglaizhou. This matter is a matter of His Majesty's trust, and it must be done carefully! ”
"Hmmm! I will! If there is nothing wrong with the adults, the subordinates will retire first! Wang Yong nodded in agreement
"Good! There you go! Hurry up and organize people to set off as soon as possible! Liu Fan let go of Wang Yong's hand and said
After Wang Yong left, Liu Fan looked at the list on the case and became distracted, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and secretly make up his mind.
The next day, the weather was sunny and cloudless, and there were bursts of killing shouts from the military academy, but Liu Fan came to the Liaodong Army camp with a heavily armed pro-soldier team at this time. Standing on the high platform of the Liaodong Military Academy, Liu Fan ordered his own soldiers to beat the drum and gather the generals, and the personal soldiers received the order and began to beat the drums. It took another quarter of an hour for the soldiers of the Liaodong Army to take their time!
Liu Fan looked down, the soldiers of the Liaodong Army were standing in the center of the school field, from time to time someone was talking about something, and the whole school was noisy, just like a vegetable market. Seeing this, Liu Fan picked up the drum hammer next to him and walked towards the big drum next to him, and beat the drum hard, "dong dong", the passionate war drum sounded, the soldier slowly put away his voice, stood up straight, stopped talking, and looked at Liu Fan quietly.
Standing on the high platform, Liu Fan said, "You have just come to the Broken Army, and you are not familiar with the military regulations of the Broken Army, so I will not ask you to train according to the military regulations of the Broken Army, but look at what you looked like just now, after the three-way drum, only a few hundred people arrived at the school field, if I were the enemy, you would have been defeated long ago!" Just like you, you still want to seek revenge on the Tartars? I think it's a war merit for others! Is this the quality of your Liaodong Army? No wonder you can't beat the Tartars! Liu Fan's tone was full of sarcasm.
When the soldiers below heard Liu Fan's words, most of them were ashamed, and some soldiers blushed and shouted unconvinced, "My lord! Most of our Liaodong Army are like this, and it's not too late for the three-way drum to gather at the school field! Why do adults look down on us so much! ”
Liu Fan heard the rebuttal and looked at the person who spoke, it was a stout man with a dark complexion, his face turned black and red, and his face was full of disbelief! Liu Fan smiled and said to Li Xiaohu, the captain of the pro-soldiers, "Tell him, how long will it take for the Broken Army to gather urgently?" Li Xiaohu replied respectfully, "The whistle sounded, and the assembly was completed within a quarter of an hour!" ”
Liu Fan said, "Did you hear that?" In the event of a battle, it only takes a quarter of an hour for the Breakers to assemble and prepare for battle! What about you? How long does it take half an hour or an hour? By the time you're done, the Tartars have been in the barracks a dozen times! I know some of you are not convinced! Never mind! From tomorrow onwards, I don't care what you did before, everyone will start training for me, and tomorrow I will personally take you to train with the Broken Army, and then you will know if I am talking big! ”
The soldiers below bowed their heads and said nothing when they heard Liu Fan's words, even the big man who spoke no longer refuted, everyone said that they would speak with facts tomorrow, and if they objected, they would be right with this adult! He's not stupid! I know I can't talk anymore!
Liu Fan continued, "Since you don't say anything, I'll take your promise!" From tomorrow, the Broken Army and the Liaodong Army will be merged, and the training will be carried out without discrimination, and the food and military salaries will all be on par! Hearing Liu Fan's announcement, the Liaodong soldiers suddenly came with loud cheers, after these three or four days, they had already inquired clearly, the military salary of one tael of silver per month and the salary of rice once the army was broken, and the officers also had additional subsidies, and three meals a day, and meat at a time, it was simply a life that the landlord and the old wealth did not have! Three days ago, most of the soldiers of the Liaodong Army didn't know what meat tasted like all their lives, and since they ate meat, they knew that there was such a delicious thing in the world, and they looked forward to eating a few more meals every day, and it was worth it for Lord Liu to let them die. Now that I heard that I could eat meat every day in the future, I was crazy with joy!
