Chapter 100: Seizure of power
"I'm the guard of the Thousand Captains, are you the Ten Captains under the Centurion of Ramado?" A cavalryman rode up to him and questioned a few officers who had gathered together.
The battle is over, and they, the ten-division commanders under the former Ramado, are worried about their future, after all, they are Ramado's people, and Ramodo's grudge with Qin Dong is too deep, and now that Ramador is dead, Qin Dong is likely to take a knife on them.
Now these people gathered together to discuss what to do, but at this time, someone claiming to be the commander of the thousand commanders, Qin Dong's guards, asked them, and they secretly said in their hearts: "Come on, is Qin Dong going to attack us?" ”
One of them replied, "Yes, I wonder what the Elder is looking for us?" ”
"I don't know about this little man, but it's likely that I'm looking for you to discuss the funeral of Lord Ramado!"
Several people glanced at each other, and then said to the cavalryman: "Please lead the way, let's go to see the elder of the thousand husbands together!" ”
When he arrived at Qin Dong's big tent, Qin Dong was talking to Tinis and Sankundo, Qin Dong did not condemn Tinis and Sankundo for not pursuing the Germans, he couldn't do this, after all, neither of them let the Germans break through from the front, it was the Germans who took the initiative to retreat and break through from the southwest, which can be regarded as completing the task.
"Meet Senfu-sama!" After several ten-masters entered the big tent, they saluted Qin Dong together.
"Hmm!" Qin Dong nodded and stretched out his hand to signal: "No courtesy!" ”
After a few people got up, Qin Dong said: "General Ben has decided to bury Ramado according to the centurion's etiquette, and bury him on the hill by the lake, several of you are the ten-captain who followed Ramado this time, this general knows that you are the ten-man commander on the surface, but in fact you have a hundred-man team under your hands, and you have also made great contributions in the fight against the Germans and the Eastern Roman Empire over the years, this general has decided to promote each of you as a centurion, you can rest assured, this general did have a grudge against Ramodo, But this vendetta will not continue against you, he was shot by the Germans, and we avenged him, and since he is dead, my enmity with him will disappear and will not continue to you and his children! ”
As a high-ranking person, being able to say so directly in front of his subordinates and show his heart is already very illustrative, which means that Qin Dong really will not embarrass them in this matter anymore, there are so many witnesses in this big account, if Qin Dong does something contrary to what he said today, then he will definitely lose people's hearts.
The four centurions who had just been promoted immediately knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Elder Thousand Masters are magnanimous, we are grateful, and we can only swear allegiance to Lord to the death!" ”
When Tinis and Sankundo saw this scene, they immediately felt a chill in their hearts, this Qin Dong was really too clever, and he promoted this ten-division to a centurion, and in an instant, he disintegrated the forces left behind after Ramado's death, and now these four people are also centurions on an equal footing with them.
How do you know that Qin Dong said again: "In view of the fact that the southern Germans have been eyeing the territory of our Great Hun Empire now, Lord Ben has decided to redeploy the defensive area, and the defense area of the four of you will be decided after General Ben considers it, so you can sit down first!" ”
As soon as Qin Dong's two words came out, the shrewd Tinis suddenly understood Qin Dong's intentions, and what a trick! Qin Dong transferred these four centurions away from the original Ramado territory under the pretext of redeploying various centurions defense areas, then these four centurions can only rely on Qin Dong to feed, Qin Dong will not give them any more territories, just let these people lead troops to garrison in a certain place, as for the territory left by Ramado, it depends on what Qin Dong does, according to the rules of the Huns, after Ramado's death, his territory should be inherited by his heirs, will Qin Dong let Ramado's heirs inherit the territory so lightly? However, Qin Dong must not forcibly deprive this territory on the surface, but it is still possible to return the land east of Lake Bataka, this land was reluctantly ceded to Ramado for defense under the threat of Vatur, and the ownership is still in Qin Dong's hands, but the garrison right is in Ramado, and now that he has withdrawn the garrison right, no one else can say anything.
Although these four people understood Qin Dong's intentions, they couldn't resist, they could only do what Qin Dong wanted, and Qin Dong did this reasonably, a superior person would definitely not raise some subordinates who didn't listen to the command to come out, and the four of them saluted: "I am willing to listen to the dispatch of the adults!" ”
Qin Dong nodded and said, "Okay, since the matter has been said, then you will go back to your respective tents to rest first, and after breakfast tomorrow morning, you will come to the general's big tent to distribute the spoils!" ”
"Retirement from the inferior rank!" The centurions stood up and saluted, and then withdrew.
After everyone left, Qin Dong thought for a long time and shouted outside the tent: "Batu! ”
Batu heard a voice outside and walked into the big tent to salute: "My lord! What are the commands? ”
"Go and call that Ramoda staff member named Hado!"
"Yes, sir!" Batu didn't understand why Qin Dong would ask him to find the kobold military advisor who was uncomfortable at first glance, but he still agreed and left.
At this time, Hado was hiding in his tent and shivering, Ramado's death made him lose his backer, originally he saw that Ramado was dead and thought of the matter of bewitching Ramado to deal with Qin Dong in front of Ramado, if this matter was known by Qin Dong, Qin Dong would definitely not let him go, so he thought of running away, but before he could escape, Qin Dong sent someone to invite him to a tent, and there were people guarding him around, and he couldn't escape if he wanted to.
Hado, who was brought into Qin Dong's big tent, was nervous in his heart, and when he saw Qin Dong's eyes staring at him like poisonous snakes, Haduo was suddenly sweating like rain, but he heard Qin Dong shout loudly: "Hado, do you know your sins?" ”
When Hado heard this loud shout, he saw Qin Dong's fierce face again, and thought that Qin Dong already knew that he had tricked Ramada into dealing with Qin Dong, so he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground as soon as his legs became weak, and begged for mercy loudly: "My lord, the villain deserves to die, the villain deserves to die, the villain shouldn't have gone back to bewitch Ramado to deal with the adult after being humiliated in the adult's camp last time, the villain really deserves to die!" The villain can serve the adult, please let the adult let the villain go, and the villain must swear allegiance! ”
Qin Dong snorted coldly: "You owe allegiance to Lord Ben? How can you be so insidious that Lord Ben believes you? And what do you have to get Ben-sama to spare your life? Come on, pull this guy out and cut it down! ”
"Yes, sir!" Several guards at the door heard the order and immediately came in and pulled Hado's arm and dragged him out, Hado was so frightened that his buttocks were urinating, and he immediately shouted: "My lord, the villain can let the adult get the territory that originally belonged to Ramado without much effort!" ”
"Slow!" When Qin Dong heard this, he ordered the guards to stop, knowing that the territory was private whether it was in the Roman Empire or the Xiongnu Empire, and even the officials of the higher titles could not casually deprive the private territories of the lower rank officials, unless this person was extremely guilty of rebellion.
Ramado is a border guard, although he is a centurion, but the army under his command is as many as a thousand, and his private territory is even larger, almost half of the territory of the Plov region he is stationed in is his private territory, which is the reward he received after driving out the Germans, and of course he also used the means of bribery, otherwise a centurion would never have such a large private territory. The situation in Qindong is different, the Pazar region where Qindong is located is directly facing the attack of the Germans, Modo once sent several centurions to station, and gave them this land as a territory, but none of them can defend it, they all became the sword ghosts of the Germans, and finally this defense area became Qindong's defense area, and Modo also gave this land to Qindong as a private territory.
Now that this Hado actually has a way to let Qin Dong get the territory that originally belonged to Ramado without much effort, Qin Dong naturally wanted to listen to him finish speaking, and immediately asked: "Tell me quickly, do you have any way to let General Ben get Ramado's territory?" ”
Hado hurriedly climbed to the feet of Qin Dong with his hands and feet and flattered: "My lord, there are four hundred slave cavalry of Ramado in Plov, and there are also three hundred infantry, these people are Ramado's private army, they will definitely be loyal to Ramado's heirs, as long as the adults authorize the villain and promise not to harm Ramado's heirs, the villain dares to promise to persuade his son to take the initiative to sacrifice the territory and slave army to the adult, the villain is his son's teacher, and his son will definitely listen to the villain's advice."
Hearing this, Qin Dong pondered for a while and agreed: "Okay, I agreed, and authorized you to talk, if you fail, do you know your results?" ”
"Yes, yes, the villain knows, the villain will succeed!" Hado said hurriedly.
Qin Dong immediately arranged for Batu to personally lead the team to escort Hado to Plov overnight to lobby Ramado's son and let him take the initiative to show his territory and army.
