Chapter Fifty-Six: A Hot Potato

"Thank you Lord Wen for speaking for me, Zeqing can lead the army of the hundred clans, Lord Wen is really indispensable."

After leaving the palace, Ning Zeqing walked side by side with Wen Yan on the way out of the palace and said to him.

Wen gradually waved his hand: "I just don't want that old man to get his hands on it, the rest, who can hold the power, what does it have to do with me." Besides, what you General Ning wants is never unavailable. In this case, why don't I push the boat down the river to do a personal favor, so as to repay the kindness of the matter of Lord Qi that day. ”

"Master Wen is serious, how could I ever think of repaying my kindness, but it was just to do my duty."

Wen gradually squinted at him and did not speak.

"Actually, General Uxiong is not indispensable, and Lord Wen doesn't have to act against him in everything."

Wen gradually showed contempt: "That old horseman is not also what I say, and I will refute anything." I always say that I am cunning and deceiving the king, and if I speak as bluntly as he is, how much can I listen to from the heavens, it is really rotten wood that cannot be carved. ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw General Uo coming from behind. The two glared at each other and dispersed.

Ning Zeqing's command of the army of the hundred tribes is both a good thing and a bad thing.

One more army in his hand is a lot of benefit for a general, but the situation of the army of the hundred tribes is special, and now it is a hot potato. No matter who takes over, they will be watched, and with attention, there will be doubts.

The next day, Ning Zeqing took up the position of general, and on the same day, he posted a notice in the army, which means: sympathize with the hard work of all the soldiers and soldiers. Today, if there are people who miss their relatives, miss their hometown, and want to return to their hometown, they should be allowed to leave the army and subsidize the travel expenses to their hometowns.

On the first day of the posting of the notice, there was a boil in the army and controversy continued.

If it is said that there is no homesickness, it must be false, and in the past two months, there have indeed been many incidents in the army, making it difficult for the army of the hundred tribes to gain a foothold in the capital, and the generals and soldiers are naturally uneasy and feel a little humiliated, not to mention those who have nothing to do, they don't like to be restrained in the army, and their hearts have already flown out of the camp.

On this day, the army went through a lot of formalities, and after counting it that night, more than 200 people left.

Three days after this announcement, one percent of the soldiers have left one after another.

This move caused an uproar in the court for a while, and all the ministers participated in the performance, thinking that Ning Zeqing deliberately disintegrated the army of the hundred tribes, lacked the heart of progress, and wasted the treasury money, only sent money to other countries, and did not fulfill the duty of the main general, and requested to be dismissed.

King Ming looked at the folds one by one, and did not mention it, and the ministers were helpless.

Rao is Ban Fei has always had a lot of confidence in Ning Zeqing, but when he saw that the number of people in the army was decreasing day by day, and his morale was becoming more and more low, he also had some doubts.

"General, can you take off the notice when you finish today? It's already the fourth day, and if you leave again, I'm afraid that the army won't even be able to reach the original eighty percent of the original number. ”

Ning Zeqing didn't explain much to him, just let him continue to go through the formalities of being discharged from the army.

Ban Fei was inconvenient to ask more, so he had to take the order and continue to do it.

Only forty or fifty people left that day, much less than the previous days, but the overall number of people was still decreasing.

On the sixth day, Ning Zeqing finally ordered Ban Fei to tear up the notice.

At this time, only about seventy percent of the soldiers of the Hundred Ethnic Army were left when they entered Beijing.

On the same day, Ning Zeqing made a break and asked for immediate conscription in the country.

The crowd was puzzled.

King Ming asked him, "Why do you let those soldiers return to their hometowns and recruit the people of the country?" ”

Ning Zeqing replied to him: "Let them return to their hometowns because the person who is forced cannot play his due level, and there is no point in staying." The people in the conquest country are also among the hundred tribes because the son is also among the hundred tribes. The army of the hundred tribes is naturally indispensable to the soldiers of the sub-attack. Moreover, as the head of the clan, it is natural for the son to take on more responsibilities in the army.

King Ming was very satisfied when he heard this, and even approved it.

After three days, the army was gradually reinforced, and it was even more numerous than before, reaching 5,000 men.

After that, Ning Zeqing reorganized the team and divided the soldiers into various teams.

Originally, soldiers from other countries came here, but they were not familiar with the place and could not integrate into the local life. Now there are more locals, often explain to them some customs and people's feelings, and take them to play, and the army is lively, which is a little harmonious.

The matter of training has been much stricter since Ning Zeqing took over.

Based on past experience, Ning Zeqing formulated a set of military disciplines that were applicable to the army of the Hundred Clans, and could not be stricter. Although Ban Fei treats people very well, he will not be soft when he should be strict. Qu Mingli's previous name as "Wolf Guard" has long been spread in the army, and who dares to disobey his words.

A few days ago, Ning Zeqing and the two lieutenant generals set an example every day, appeared in the camp on time every day, and never slacked off. If someone broke the military regulations, Ning Zeqing personally punished them in front of the priests, so as to declare the solemnity of the military regulations.

Since then, no one dares to disobey their will, and the appearance of the entire Hundred Tribes Army has taken on a new look, and its momentum can be compared with that of the Royal Army.

However, in January, there was no more ineffective performance of Ning Zeqing's ineffective management of the army in the court, but they all showed the great progress of the army of the hundred tribes, praising Ning Zeqing as a general and should be commended.

"Now that the Hundred Tribes Army has been effective, isn't it time to take responsibility? Recently, the Yan State has repeatedly invaded the border of Keli, and there has been a situation that has attracted the Bo State to take sides, which is not conducive to the stability between the countries. And the real and single two frequently provoke incidents, and the war stops and stops, and someone should reconcile one or the two. ”

is so outspoken, and it is Lord Yu Zhi.

King Ming didn't care, and said to him: "I said before that Lord Yu interfered with the martial arts, why did you forget it so quickly?" Besides, General Ning had just taken charge of the Hundred Tribes Army, how could he let him go to the battlefield so quickly. If Lord Yu really can't bear it, it is better for you to try it, and it can be regarded as experiencing a different career. ”

All the ministers heard the slight irony in their words, and laughed out loud in the hall.

Yu Zhi was named again, and he didn't know how to deal with it, and he couldn't move back when he stepped out of the queue.

"Your Majesty, your ministers think that this matter is not proper. Let's not talk about the strength of the Hundred Tribes Army now, whether it can go to the battlefield, let's just say that the war between the five countries mentioned by Master Fang Caiyu, none of them are included in the Hundred Tribes Army, if they forcibly interfere, I am afraid that they will not be allowed. Therefore, the minister believes that it is time to wait and see the changes before making plans. ”

After listening to Ning Zeqing's words, King Ming couldn't help nodding: "This matter should really listen to General Ning's words, just ask so many people in the court, who is more familiar with the Hundred Tribes Army than General Ning." In the future, this matter should not be raised by the Lord himself. ”

Wen gradually stood up and said, "The king's words are reasonable. General Ning has been in charge of the Qianjie Army for many years, so he naturally knows what is in it, and he doesn't need others to say anything. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Yu Zhi again, and Yu Zhi retreated into the queue tremblingly.
