Chapter 315: A Busy Fortress (Part II)
"Wait a minute, give him the pill here, and then send him to the barracks to rest." Feng Ming took out a pill from his arms.
Everything is done according to the heart, the mind is not reached, the mind is not smooth, although it will not bring fatal injuries to oneself. But as it accumulates, it will bring unexpected disasters to itself in the future.
This is the demonic thought that he planted for himself, a demonic thought that even he can't control, and only when the demonic thought appears, can he dissolve it by his own means.
The reason why many cultivators stop at asking about the realm is because the demonic thoughts in their hearts are too deep, and they do not have the ability to dissolve the demonic thoughts, which eventually leads to the end of the cultivation journey.
Soon the commander ran out of the camp and stood straight in front of Feng Ming.
"I'm new here and I don't know anything about it. Whatever I ask next, you can answer, just answer me in the most direct words, I don't want to waste energy to analyze whether you have something to say.
If you understand, shout yes, and if you don't want to speak, turn around and go back and forth. ”
"Yes!" The commander simply shouted, he knew that the young man in front of him seemed to be young, but in fact he was even more monster than a monster.
"How long has it been since the fortress has been paid?"
"Military salaries will be paid normally every quarter, and there will be no arrears."
"Huh? So why are your weapons so old? Could it be that the military department intended to do this? ”
"Back to the general, I don't know what the military department means. I only know that because our Dongshan Fortress is located in a dangerous area, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Every time the Quartermaster Department came to the top, it was only to send the army's salary, food and grass, and as for the weapons and equipment, unless they arrived, they could not be used, otherwise, even our application would be rejected. ”
"Hmm. Then let me ask you again, why is the fortress not fortified at night? In addition to the soldiers guarding the door, the dark post is a none. There are no traps in the river, and the camp can be easily entered through the dense forest, and the soldiers in the camp are not at all guarded, as if they are in their own homes, completely relaxed. ”
Feng Ming's question let the Commander know that what he said to everyone before was not a lie. He did come to inspect it, and he did it carefully.
It's not like no one has said something similar to him before, but when you hear it, you know it's fake. The newly appointed general seems to have really come to do things, not to gild.
"General, we also want to fortify. But as you can see, the barracks are now filled with new recruits, many of whom are recruited from villages within a radius of 100 miles.
With the retirement of veterans, there are fewer and fewer people who really know how to arrange troops. Perhaps there is really no one in the entire fortress except me who understands what you just said.
Do you know why I'm the only one left here? Because, many people can't get used to General Xuandong's style. Every time someone wanted to be promoted, they would be placed to live with us for a while, and after that, they didn't have much merit, and they were quickly promoted to the position of general.
And we, the veterans who have worked hard to stay here, play the role of the shopkeeper every once in a while, serving these princes all day long. If I hadn't been reluctant to be here, I would have been like them, packing up and leaving as soon as the service period expired. ”
"Don't you know what you're talking about?"
"Yes! But what can they do? It's General Xuandong above! The supreme ruler of the military power of the entire Eastern Xuanwu Realm. Tough with him, I guess it's because of his long life. ”
"Let's not talk about General Xuandong, what's going on with that General Jiao? I see that you seem to have a lot of respect for him. ”
"Yes, he is not bad to us, although he is also a nobleman, and he is a little proud and pompous, but on the whole he is good to us, at least subsidizing our food here."
"Subsidizing food? Isn't there plenty of food and grass here? Why do you want him to subsidize food? ”
"Back to the general, I just omitted it. Grain and grass are indeed supplied on time and in quantity. But you can't eat Chinese cabbage every day! People who don't have oil and water are really panicked sometimes.
If it weren't for the recruits we had recruited, the family would have been in a bad situation, and I thought that our fortress would be at least two-thirds empty. ”
"Okay, let's return to General Xuandong now, if you don't want to say that I won't force you. But once you speak, you have to be responsible for every word you say.
I heard that General Xuandong was brave and good at fighting, and he terrified the Shura people on the battlefield, and he was also an upright man. How could such a great general do what you said above? ”
"Returning to the general, what I am going to say next is all my heartfelt words, if there is half a lie, I will fall down when I go out, choke on drinking water, and be struck by lightning when it rains.
General Xuandong is indeed like this, but what about his descendants? Who doesn't know that he has an arrogant and domineering son, and who doesn't know that General Xuandong only got such a precious son after having eight daughters in a company.
Such a birth has created a pampered habit for this son, and it has also made this son develop an arrogant and domineering character.
General Xuandong is very diligent in military affairs, and he does not make friends with any powerful people. But his son was different, wandering among the powerful all day long, relying on his father's influence, so that his personal power suddenly developed to an incredible level in just a few years.
Did you know? There is such a proverb in our Eastern Xuanwu Realm, you can not know the turtle, but you must know Qin Gongzi. ”
"It seems that the people have a lot of opinions about him! Although the turtle sounds pleasing to the ear, who doesn't know that this is Wang Ba! I am afraid that the prestige of General Xuandong will be ruined in the hands of this precious son.
I don't believe it, he doesn't know this proverb. Doesn't he care? ”
"General, he wants to manage it, but he really can't manage it. You also know that three women in one play. But General Qin has to face nine women, and nine women are just three plays!
Everyone comes to cry, make trouble and hang themselves at a time, even if you are a general, you probably won't be able to stand it! ”
"That's a problem! But that's not what we're dealing with right now. Our top priority is to put our military affairs in order and keep the entire Dongshan Fortress busy at once.
It's not good to be lifeless, you have to be active, you have to have a fighting spirit, and you have to have a spirit of seeing death as home. This war is not a child's play, and from what I know about the Shuras, they will not do anything without a purpose.
I now promote you to lieutenant general, and I order you to immediately select twenty people for me who are loyal, flexible, and have good physical fitness and can serve the public.
I will train an iron army in the shortest possible time, at least so that you can rely on the fortress and the favorable terrain to make the Shura people fearful. ”
"Take the order, and go to the lowly position." Without warning, a flame of hope rose in Commander Sun's heart. He felt that the General Feng in front of him was the person he had been waiting for to swear allegiance to the death.
