The guards are not stupid, who can not understand the meaning of Liu Guoxuan's words, everyone was still happy, listening to Liu Guoxuan's mouthful of emperors, mouthfuls of rewards, only then did they feel that the seal and letter of appointment in their hands were a little hot.

It stands to reason that they are also the garrison of the Jinxia Naval Division, even if they want to be promoted and rewarded, it is also the business of the King of Yanping, and now the imperial court has issued a letter of appointment to them, and most of the people present already know something.

Someone cautiously asked: "General Liu, you just said that the imperial court enshrined us as a thousand households of the Oriental Naval Division, dare to ask whether this Oriental Naval Division Battalion is a battalion?" The lowly ones have never heard of it. ”

Liu Guoxuan saw that they were suspicious, and glanced at the fact that there were already many people outside the camp, thinking that Jinyiwei and his cronies had already surrounded the camp, so they simply had a showdown with these garrisons, whether they wanted to die or be promoted to official wealth, and it was up to them to decide.

"The general Ming people do not say dark words, the king of Yanping and the generals in the army have been invited by the emperor to enter the sea capital to enjoy the blessings, and will not ask about military affairs, since then, the Jinxia Navy Division officially changed its name to the Oriental Naval Division Battalion, ordered to inspect Oriental affairs, the general has received the emperor's decree today, as the commander of the Oriental Naval Division, everyone was born and died together, you are here to do a thousand households, or out of this camp from now on do not ask about military affairs, how to choose, I will not force you, But Ben will say the ugly words in front, this Jinxia Sailor was originally my Ming fleet, not the private property of the King of Yanping, if anyone dares to bewitch the public, Ben will never be spared. ”

Silence, terrible silence, the candles flickering in the camp shone on the pale faces of every garrison, and the seals and letters of appointment in their hands were soaked with sweat.

Truth be told, most of the garrisons were promoted by the generals, and although this was an ungraded official, the officials who promoted them were kind to them. There is no doubt about this, plus this Jinxia sailor is the grandfather of the king of Yanping, Zheng Zhilong, when he was a pirate in the East to build the land, although he was later recruited by the imperial court and became the sailor in the Ming Dynasty, but most people do not have much attachment to the imperial court, and the military heart is still towards the king of Yanping.

Zhu Jun is a very happy person, he has only one way to govern people, he puts two paths for you, one is to follow me. I will immediately promote you to the rank of official. If you don't go to the Tao, then it's another way, and if you don't die, you will be able to take off a layer of skin, this is called Enwei and Shi, this is the trick used to deal with the Western priest Ames, and it is also this trick to deal with Liu Guoxuan. Now, the guards have to make a choice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are all Han Chinese. The hearts of the Han people in the world are towards the Ming court, and the reason why we joined the army is that there is no way to live. You have to earn a future for yourself. The second is that the Tartars have invaded our hometown, slaughtered our brothers and sisters, and made it difficult for us to return home. Seeing that the guards were hesitant, Liu Guoxuan opened his mouth and said in confusion: "As long as you follow the emperor, I, Liu Guoxuan, will be able to guarantee your future. Following the king of Yanping is to kill the Tartars. Isn't following the Ming Emperor to kill the Tartars? Liu entered the city today to face the saint. I already know that our emperor is the lord of a generation of heroes, and the martial arts are rare heroes in a century. Liu can die for him, even if it is worth dying. ”

"Some of you still want to be loyal to King Yanping. I'm just asking you? Which of you isn't a veteran crawling out of the pile of the dead? Who has not shed blood for the king of Yanping and has been knifed. But why are you just a fifth-level garrison officer, while those scholars who can only drop their book bags and a few old men of the Zheng family are majestic generals and guerrillas? ”

"In the final analysis, it is still King Yanping who looks down on us, we are nothing, but we are just a dog of the Zheng family. Let's just say Liu, when Yanping King Zheng successfully besieged Zhangzhou, if it wasn't for Liu's desperate life not to persuade Zhangzhou defender Zhang Shiyao to surrender, can Zhangzhou be captured with the weak army of King Yanping? But what did Liu get? In the years that I have followed King Yanping, on which battlefield have I Liu someone ever flinched back? Which time is not a life of nine deaths? But why would they be subordinated to those generals and guerrillas who had never gone into battle to kill a single person? ”

Liu Guoxuan clenched his fists and pounded the table. Zoom in: "It's not that King Yanping looks down on us martial artists, and looks down on us people from humble backgrounds. But the emperor can afford us. The emperor not only appointed me as the commander of the naval battalion. and give each of you a certificate of appointment for a thousand households. Everyone gave Liu a quasi-letter. It's all gentlemen. Nothing to do. ”

"General Liu. I, Li Defu, followed the emperor and followed you. Li Defu clenched the letter of appointment in his hand tightly. Striding and debuting.

"Count me as one. Who is followed not to kill Tartars? The king of Yanping also obeyed the orders of the Ming Emperor. Otherwise, he would be plotting rebellion and causing chaos. Another guard stepped forward.

"General Liu treats our brothers well on weekdays. Brothers have faithfully passed through you. Why do you say that the brothers are following you? Son of a. There is some truth in what General Liu said. The brethren fought hard before them. It is not necessarily that the king of Yanping will be knighted. But as soon as we landed. The emperor gave our children and grandchildren an iron-clad job. None of you are stupid. Good and bad are always clear. ”

More people came forward. At last. All the garrisons were in good hands. The big-headed soldiers don't have as much insight as the scholars. The four words of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages are deeply seared into their bones. When the soldiers come out to fight and shed blood. He took his own life and came out. For the land is not yet a promotion to wealth. Now there is an iron rice bowl of hereditary thousand households. What else do you have to say. Even if you are unwilling to betray the former King of Yanping for your own sake. But what if you count your descendants?

What's more, the Ming Emperor is still the nominal boss of the King of Yanping. He is the unique leader of the Han people. What is the difference between playing for him and serving King Yanping?

The garrisons figured it out, and a relaxed smile bloomed on their faces, and now they are also upright officers, which makes them a lot proud, with this title, they feel down-to-earth, just like the temporary workers in the previous life, if you don't think of a way to turn yourself right, I'm afraid you won't even be able to sleep, maybe one day you will be fired.

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense, tomorrow the military department will send new clothes and armor, as well as food and baggage, everyone go back to rest early, tomorrow Japan will take you to divide clothes and food, everyone rest for a few days, and then practice well." I heard that the emperor is going to allocate a few new warships to our Oriental Naval Division, brothers, do a good job, there will be a day, a day when we will enjoy Qingfu. "Liu Guoxuan is overjoyed, the garrison officer is a bridge between senior officers and ordinary non-commissioned officers, as long as these people are willing to follow him, this Oriental naval division battalion is stable.

"The last will obey." Eight thousand households solemnly saluted Liu Guoxuan together, and rushed out.
