Chapter 44 Ding Heng Strengthens the Army
Ding Heng's hand was raised high and gently lowered. "Get up, don't lie on your stomach all the time, it's cold on the ground!" Ding Heng stretched out his warm hand towards Ke Zhen.
"You won't kill me?" Ke Zhen opened his eyes and was stunned.
"You have already received the punishment you deserve!" Ding Heng grabbed Ke Zhen's hand and pulled him up, "I just want to use this matter to let everyone know what a military order is." An army that can't do what it does is not going to be productive!"
"I also know that when Gao Yi was still the chief soldier, his management of everyone was too lenient, and the training of the army was very lax. He turned a blind eye to some of your violations of military regulations!" Ding Heng faced everyone, paused, and Lang Lang said, "But now Gao Yi is dead. Although he is not talented, he is recommended by Master Meng Guoshi and will take over Gao Yi's position. Since I am the supreme commander of this army, I must abandon all the wrong practices of Gao Yi before, I will govern the army strictly, and I will turn this army into a real iron-blooded hero. Do you have the confidence to work with me on this goal?"
"Confidence!" there was a sparse echo from the crowd. An army that can't eat enough to eat and can't cover its body with clothes, and hasn't seen a single salary for several years, still wants to become an iron-blooded hero, and it's laughing to death.
The intelligent Ding Heng certainly knew what his subordinates were thinking, and he smiled faintly, "The army is the cornerstone of a country." Resist the humiliation of the enemy outside, and the people of internal security. It is a great honor to be such a soldier. We should be proud of being a soldier, and we should have the courage and consciousness to sacrifice our lives for the sake of protecting the country and the country!"
Although Ding Heng's words were impassioned, the reaction of the soldiers was still very cold. Perhaps in the eyes of these ordinary soldiers, those high-sounding truths are far less moving than the benefits in front of them.
Of course, Ding Heng is also very clear about this. "Ladies and gentlemen, I still have a few good news to tell you, first of all, our food and salary have been settled, and the National Teacher promised me that from today onwards, all our food and salary will be paid by the National Teacher out of his own pocket. The National Teacher said that he would never watch the brothers shed blood and sweat, but he would get nothing!"
"What? The National Teacher said that he would pay us food?" Hearing this, everyone was stunned. National Teacher. When the emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom was young and playful and ignored the affairs of the court, the major affairs of the country depended on the national teacher to support him.
In the eyes of the people of Dayan, the national teacher has a gentle personality and a kind character, but he has never broken his promise to others. In the Great Yan Kingdom, when it comes to the national teacher of the Great Yan Kingdom, Huang Fuyan, the people all praise and admire each other. Since the national teacher has guaranteed, then that is to say, from now on, his salary will finally be settled. He is finally no longer a stupid soldier without any hope.
Is this true? This is true? The soldiers turned their heads to each other, looking very excited. Just when the soldiers were extremely excited, Ding Heng gave another dose of fierce news, "Ladies and gentlemen, from today onwards, our army will implement a system of using talent for use and rewarding and punishing clearly. As long as you have enough ability, as long as you have enough merit, you will be able to get the reward you deserve, and you will be able to get the position you deserve!"
"Since a male husband is born in the world, he should have ideals and ambitions. Let me ask you, who of you wants to live a mediocre and ordinary life? Who of you doesn't want to be famous, have a wife and a son, glorify the court, and let yourself be admired by all people?"
The soldiers were completely excited. Yes, who wants to live a mediocre and ordinary life? The pursuit of power, wealth, and status is the true thought of everyone's heart. The court is prominent, the ancestors are glorious, and Ze is descended, which is what everyone subconsciously strives for.
"And now, the time has come for us to realize this opportunity, and the task given to us by the national teacher is to be responsible for quelling the civil strife in the Great Yan Kingdom and returning the people to a peaceful living environment. As long as we eliminate the thieves who have caused disaster to the Great Yan Kingdom and benefit the people, it will be a great achievement that no one can ignore, and we will be richly rewarded. As soon as the thieves are destroyed and the country is stable, we will surely become great heroes in the eyes of the people. With such a fame and fortune, why not?"
The crowd was boiling, and they seemed to see a bright future for themselves. In this regard, Ding Heng nodded with satisfaction, this is exactly the result he wants. "After the civil strife has subsided, our next target will be the evil barbarians, and the national teacher will lead us to completely solve this hazard on the border of my Great Yan Kingdom. The National Teacher said, we are a sharp blade of the Great Yan Kingdom, and he wants to use this sharp blade to destroy any enemy who dares to threaten the survival of the Great Yan Kingdom. We want to make all the enemies tremble in front of us, we have to rely on our efforts to open up territory for the Great Yan Kingdom, and we have to rely on our ability to create a great prosperous era for the Great Yan Kingdom. We are destined to be famous, destined to go down in history!"
"Let's shout here Your Majesty Shengming, the National Teacher Shengming!" the impassioned Ding Heng finally ended his words.
"Your Majesty Shengming, National Teacher Shengming!" shouted the surging soldiers. However, Ding Heng frowned slightly, because he found that among the cheering crowd, there were obviously more people who called the National Teacher Shengming than His Majesty Shengming.
This one...... Forget it!Ding Heng shook his head. I have a great Yan country, and there is a national teacher, which is a great luck for the Great Yan country, and it is also a great luck for the people. But the only fly in the ointment is that His Majesty, who is in the prime of his life, is still playful and doesn't take care of court affairs. If Your Majesty is willing to take care of it and work hard, ask the world, who else dares to underestimate my Dayan Kingdom?
Incomparably fierce barbarians? So what? My Dayan country has a vast land and a large population. As long as the monarchs and ministers are united, the people are of one heart and one mind. No matter how strong the barbarians are, they can be completely crushed!
"Ke Zhen, Ke Pijiang, are you willing to help me?" Ding Heng's smile was like a spring breeze, making people feel extremely comfortable.
"I, General Ke, Vice General Ding, no, no, General Ding, you're not kidding, are you?" Ke Zhen opened his mouth wide.
"I'm not wrong, from today on, you will be General Ke, don't be busy refusing!" Ding Heng waved his hand to stop Ke Zhen, "With your strength, with your past merits, this is what you deserve." It's only the lowest general, but it shows that you've gone from a soldier to a general!"
"But ......"
"I, Ding Heng, said that there are clear rewards and punishments, and you have been duly punished for your contempt for military regulations. And now it's time for you to get what you deserve!"
"I'm a general, I'm a general!" Ke Zhen grinned and smirked. At this time, he really had the feeling of being hit by a pie falling from the sky.
"Tell me, tell me, am I dreaming? Tell me, don't I? Otherwise, you will come here for a moment!" Ke Zhen stretched out his face in ecstasy.
"Boss. Do you really want to fight?" the veterans were dumbfounded, telling them to kill people and set fires, fight and brawl, and they would not frown. But if you want them to slap their boss, they don't have the guts yet.
"Hurry up, or I'll beat you up!" Ke Zhen rolled his bull's eye.
"Yes, boss!" a veteran soldier hesitated, and finally reached out with a trembling hand and patted Ke Zhen's face lightly.
"It hurts, it hurts, it's true, it's not a dream, it's great!" Ke Zhen laughed wildly.
"Congratulations boss, congratulations boss!" Suddenly, the sycophants were like a tide.
"Tongxi, Tongxi!" Ke Zhen smirked, "By the way, who beat me just now?"
"It's... It's him!" All the veterans pointed fingers at one person.
"Boss, I'm wronged, it's your own name!" the accused exclaimed aggrievedly.
"Damn, I told you to fight, and you hit it so hard. You don't have a brain!" Ke Zhen couldn't help but say, as soon as he dragged the man, it was a fat beating, and the other party who hit him wailed again and again. "General Ding, Ke Zhen, whether it is his own strength or his merits, he is well-deserved to be this general. But I want to ask, if someone surpasses him in strength and merit in the future, will he be able to become an official?"
"If you want to surpass me, it's so ambitious, I admire it. But just talk about it, don't practice fake tricks. Brother, if we don't practice, as long as you can defeat me, my position will be handed over. Ke Zhen rolled up his sleeves.
"I mean later, later, not now!" the soldier who had just spoken panicked. On your own body type, practicing with each other, isn't that looking for abuse?
"Hahaha!" burst into laughter.
In this regard, Ding Heng just smiled and watched. After the gang had enough trouble, he continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, you must also know that to achieve this great goal, in the way we are now, it is simply a pipe dream. We must strengthen our training, we must continue to fight, to run in, to improve, in order to become a truly feared iron-blooded hero!"
"General Soldier Ding, through training, through the edification of war, to improve our combat effectiveness, this is of course the best and fastest way. But don't you think our number is too small?" At this time, Ke Zhen had already begun to enter the role of a general.
"General Ke doesn't have to worry about this. In addition to giving me unlimited financial and material support, the National Normal University also gave me the privilege of recruiting soldiers and horses on my own and training on my own. "What? You can recruit soldiers and horses on your own and train them on your own? What kind of power can you achieve this! How can a general soldier have such great power? It seems that General Ding has won the respect of the National Teacher, and he has a bright future when he works under him!
"I will say one more thing, brethren, if you can bring enough good men to this army, you will receive a great reward, and the more soldiers you bring, the more you will be rewarded. If there are more than twenty, I can consider having you as a team leader. Ding Heng threw out another tempting bait.
"What? And this good thing?" the soldiers were all stunned by the succession of good news.
"What if the number of people introduced is small, but all of them are outstanding?"
"We recruit people, of course, not just by numbers. You can recruit talents for this army, and it is also a great achievement!" Ding Hengle said. Great, that's what I was looking forward to.
