Chapter 7: Sticks and Carrots
The next day, Dong Liang took Yang Miaozhen to the Lieutenant Department of the Military Academy in the West Garden to prepare to receive the two thousand cavalrymen, and he was thinking about how to deal with this Cao Cao. This Cao Cao is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he doesn't know how to deal with these ruffians. And Cao Cao is a traitor in the history books, so he has to be careful.
"Captain Dong, our Captain Cao heard yesterday that he was dismissed, and then he left." Immediately a civilian scribe said.
Dong Liang was speechless, he was thinking about how to deal with this Cao Cao just now, but now Cao Cao is actually gone? However, Dong Liang also remembered that in history, Cao Cao left not long after Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, and then called on everyone to crusade against Dong Zhuo. And when Dong Liang heard that Cao Cao had left, he couldn't help but start to get nervous in his heart, because there was less and less time left for him, only a few months. After Cao Cao left, he would immediately begin to form a righteous army and call on the world to crusade against Dong Zhuo. Therefore, you have to do your best to build your own team, otherwise you will really suffer a big loss.
However, Dong Liang also felt a little sorry that he actually missed an opportunity to see this traitorous male with his own eyes.
"Go and call those military horses!" Dong Liang said.
According to the military establishment of the Han Dynasty, it was the establishment of the two-quintal system. First of all, the lowest level is the army, which is composed of five soldiers in a army, and the army commander is established. And the two Wu form a Shi, and have a Shi. And the last five are a team, led by a team. The two teams are a tun and are led by the tun chief. The two tuns are a song, led by the military marquis. Two Qu 400 people formed a department, led by the military Sima. As for the higher ranks, there is no specific regulation on the number of troops to lead, they are all composed of temporary troops, and then a general is appointed by the superior to manage them. Therefore, the maximum number of soldiers in the army is only a group of 400 people, this is to avoid those generals from having too many soldiers for a long time and are easy to rebel!
But after a long time, those military horses did not come, which made Dong Hao not angry. This is simply ignoring him, and now when he needs the new official to take office three fires, these five military horses don't bother to pay attention to themselves, this simply makes Dong Liang very angry, and he wants to give them a little color.
"Drumming Gathering, it looks like I'm going to let them know how good I am this time." Dong Liang said.
"Knock knock ......"
As the drums sounded, those military horses came to the camp of Dong Liang, the chief general, slowly, obviously looking careless. Just now, Dong Liang asked people to invite, but they didn't come. And now that Dong Liang is beating drums and gathering generals, they have to come, after all, according to the military law of the army, when the drums are gathered, they must come, otherwise they can be beheaded. They don't want to be seized by Dong Liang to be beheaded, then they will die unjustly.
"Good! I would have asked you to come, why didn't you come? Dong Liang asked.
And a military Sima said leisurely: "Captain, we overslept today, please forgive us!" ”
"Okay, overslept? Okay, that's going to give you a pick-me-up! Dong Liang snorted.
Dong Liang came outside with a few military horses, and then there was a training place here. And Dong Liang saw a large stone, obviously composed of granite, and the texture was very hard. And Dong Liang saw this, so he took the initiative to nod.
"This is Miss Yang Miaozhen, one of my concubines. She's a strong martial artist, so she'll test you later, and if you can't do it, then don't blame me for being merciless! Dong Liang said.
"Woman? It's ridiculous that you should let a woman put us to the test! A military Sima said with great disdain.
"Yes! It's ridiculous, women just need to take care of their children at home, not to play here! What's more, according to the rules of our Han Dynasty, women are not allowed to be brought into the barracks, Captain Dong, why are you doing this? ”
Dong Liang said: "In this, there are no Han rules, only my rules. So, I brought Miaojin in, and that was to bring her in! Wait, I'm going to test you! ”
"Wonderful! Well! Dong Liang made a hint and said.
Yang Miaozhen immediately picked up his spear, and then flew over at the granite boulder in the distance. Soon, the granite boulder was also pierced by the spear, and as a result, the spear stood inside the granite boulder, trembling slightly.
And several military commanders were also shocked, they didn't expect a woman to have such a powerful power, this is incredible. This granite boulder is usually impossible for them to pierce even with a weapon, but now Yang Miaozhen can pierce through it with a long-range flying spear, this is incredible.
"Go get this gun out!" Yang Miaozhen said.
And when the few military horses saw this scene, one of them gritted his teeth, after all, he couldn't lose face in front of a woman.
"Uhhh
The soldier pulled it out with all his might, but he couldn't pull it out with all his strength, which made him blush like a monkey's ass. And the other military horses were also surprised, because they knew that this military Sima was about the same strength as himself, but he couldn't pull it out, which means that it was really not easy.
"You go together, if the five of you can pull it out together, then I will count you as qualified!" Yang Miaozhen said.
The other four guys glanced at each other, and then they all took the initiative to walk over and join in the ranks of drawing their guns. And the five of them used all their strength to feed, but the spear did not move, and they were so ashamed that they had nothing to say. My five big men were actually stumped by a woman's strength, how embarrassing it was after it was spread like this!
"Well, none of you are qualified. However, since there is no one to take your place for a while, you will stay in your position for the time being, and if you are not competent in the future, then don't blame me for being unkind! Dong Liang said.
Soon, Yang Miaozhen pulled out the gun with one hand, and then easily danced a spear flower, and then returned to Dong Liang's side. And those military simas couldn't help but start to be a little convinced, after all, if they can conquer such a powerful woman, then Dong Liang should have a certain level, right?
"Captain, I think martial arts are not only about strength, but also about fighting in person. Otherwise, if it's just a lot of strength, what's the use? So, let's ask to try it out with this Miss Yang! A military Sima said.
"Yes!" Dong Liang said.
And when those military horses picked up their weapons, they just wanted to attack, but they were immediately overwhelmed by Yang Miaozhen's move. Yang Miaozhen made one move, and these five military horses were knocked off the ground in less than five seconds. Next, they naturally refused to accept it, but after several times, they were all knocked off by a move, and they were all convinced. After all, these military generals are not high-level generals, they are all ordinary generals, Yang Miaozhen is someone who can fight with Lu Bu, so they can be defeated easily. Therefore, their failure was not unexpected by Dong Liang, and Dong Liang also hoped that Yang Miaozhen would kill their prestige, which would be helpful for the next management.
"Okay, are you convinced?" Dong Liang asked.
"Are we willing to obey the lieutenant in the future?" The five military commanders said.
Dong Liang knew that they were not giving Dong Liang face, but giving Yang Miaozhen face. But this Dong Liang doesn't matter, anyway, Yang Miao is really his concubine, so giving her face is also giving herself face.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I know that you have worked very hard. You gave up your family's farmland, and then came here to recruit our imperial court's Xiyuan Army, hoping to earn back your military salary and go back to support your family. And you are working for me, so I can't ignore you. You are the severed head of the march and the war, so how can I do you a loss? In the past, the imperial court was too stingy and gave you too little military pay. You must know that you are risking your lives to do things for the court, and we must not be too stingy. Therefore, from today onwards, all officers and soldiers will be uniformly increased by 50%! ”
And those soldiers suddenly increased by fifty percent when they heard their own money, and their eyes showed a green light, obviously because the benefit was too great. They all have to feel attractive, and the fact that their monthly income has increased by 50% all at once is very refreshing. Who doesn't like a lot of money, especially the soldiers of this era don't know anything about national righteousness at all, and don't expect to be able to get some ideological education to get them probation. And the most direct way is to use money, with tangible benefits to make them swear to the death. Therefore, it must be rewarded, and if you don't come up with something tangible, it is impossible to win the hearts and minds of the army.
And Dong Liang suddenly increased the income of those ordinary soldiers in the army by 50 percent, which immediately won the hearts of these troops. You must know that these ordinary low-level armies are very realistic, they all hope to be able to fight for others and make a living, and whoever pays them is loyal to whom. So now that Dong Liang has given them military salaries, and has increased them by an additional fifty percent, they seem to have temporarily become Dong Liang's lackeys. As for Cao Cao, where did Cao Cao come from, and where did he go back.
"Hmph, this method of adding carrots to a stick is also very simple!" Dong Liang thought.
Dong Liang adopted the strategy of sticks and carrots, he used real military pay to make the soldiers return to their hearts, and let Yang Miaozhen kill the prestige of those military generals, so that they were completely convinced. Anyway, with the "big stick" of Yang Miaozhen in one hand and a carrot with a salary increase in the other, he is not afraid that those people will not return to their hearts.
