Xiao Changyong was shocked by Sun Ning's methods and calculations, but what he didn't know was that in fact, all of this was not all Sun Ning's strategy alone.

After all, he is more of a martial artist now, although he has the thinking of modern people, but after all, he lacks the strategy of a politician, and he lacks such a deep level of ruthlessness.

In fact, this overall plan came from Shen Zhou and Zhuge Qingyun's two staff.

It was Sun Ning who really decided on the overall strategy after several discussions with them, and taking down the Splendid Pavilion in one fell swoop was only the beginning.

Next, it was he who took advantage of the situation, and took advantage of this purge of internal troubles, when his prestige reached the highest point, he showed his strength and cleaned up the whole city.

Therefore, after the departure of the Marquis of Dingxi, Sun Ning quickly called the two main officials, the Taishou Han Zeru and the Governor Feng Wanli, into the palace and issued a formal will.

"Han Taishou, the identity of the barbarians in the city should have been registered a long time ago, right? I want to cooperate with the Taishou Mansion to work with Feng Dudu's subordinate to take action, and invite all the relevant people to one place. ”

"Your Majesty will obey your Majesty's will." Han Zeru hurriedly complied.

If a few days ago he had doubts about this arrangement, now he didn't dare to even mention a word of doubt. His Majesty the Emperor has shown his strength to everyone, a courtier, who would dare to disobey the order?

Sun Ning nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Feng Wanli again: "Governor Feng, you have to do more."

"The first thing is to hurry up and meet with Lord Shen Zhoushen, take some money and grain from him first, and distribute it to the soldiers of the whole city according to the rule of two hundred yuan per soldier."

These words made Feng Wanli suddenly happy, when the news came out before, he thought it was just a rumor, after all, the emperor also spends a lot of money on weekdays, and he can't keep it for his own use, how can he really reward all the soldiers in the city?

But now it seems that the emperor is serious, this is great, as long as this reward is passed, he and his generals can't make a lot of money......

As soon as this thought arose in his mind, he heard Sun Ning say solemnly again: "There is one thing you have to remember carefully, this silver money, I said that it is a reward for every soldier in Yuzhou, and it is no matter how big or small, each person is two hundred yuan, and there must be no deductions!" ”

As he spoke, Sun Ning leaned forward slightly, stared at him whose face had changed slightly, and said: "If anyone dares to deduct this reward under the pretext of his position, as long as it is verified, no matter what his identity is, he will not be spared!" ”

These murderous words made Feng Wanli's back suddenly chill, his body quickly straightened, and he hurriedly promised: "The minister obeys the order, the minister must have done the errand assigned by His Majesty properly, and dare not make the slightest omission!" ”

"It's better to be so. I have also said ugly things before, and if anyone sues for this, you will also be held responsible. Also, I will send someone to inquire outside, and there are some things that cannot be hidden. ”

"Yes, yes, minister, minister understands, minister will not dare to be selfish."

Seeing Feng Wanli's sincere and frightened look, Han Zeru felt both sympathetic and a little lucky.

Compared to him, his errand was much easier.

After Sun Ning put enough pressure on the other party, he continued: "While dividing the money, you also have to announce to the whole army that I want to select 5,000 real elite soldiers from all the officers and soldiers of my army in Yuzhou to form a battalion of soldiers and horses to take the initiative to attack.

"Remember, what I want is to be down-to-earth, able to do what I am told, and a real elite person who is between 20 and 30 years old and born as a local farmer in Yuzhou.

"If there are not enough officers and soldiers in the army, you can also recruit from the civilian sector. And tell everyone that this battalion of soldiers and horses will become my personal guards in the future, and the future is bright. And as long as you are elected to the battalion, you can get a tael of silver every month, and there is no arrears! ”

Feng Wanli was still a little embarrassed when he listened to Sun Ning's series of requests, this requirement was really not low, and it might not be possible to really pick out 5,000 people in the Yuzhou army to echo the request.

And conscription from the civilian population is even more difficult. After all, the people of Yuzhou, and even the entire Sichuan and Shu people, are too comfortable, and who is willing to risk entering the military camp?

But the last sentence, which could get a tael of silver, dispelled all his worries.

You must know that the salary of ordinary soldiers in the Yuzhou army is now 500 yuan a month, which is directly doubled.

Moreover, this is only the salary of ordinary soldiers, and the officers can not get more, which is enough to make many people rush to this army.

Sun Ning also knew the temptation of this, so he smiled again: "But there is one thing you don't forget to tell all the soldiers who want to be conscripted into the camp that if you join my camp, the drill will be more difficult than usual, and you will fight at any time."

"Of course, as long as you fight, there will be a big reward, and I only need a warrior, and I will not hesitate to reward!"

"Your Majesty, the minister understands, after the minister leaves the palace, he will make arrangements!" Feng Wanli immediately replied loudly.

A certain fire that had been completely extinguished for many years because of a comfortable life burned again in his heart at this moment.

I think that when he Feng Wanli first entered the military camp, he also thought about leading soldiers and horses to make meritorious achievements, and pacified all the barbarians around him who did not obey orders.

But the reality has made his ambition continue to be eroded, until now only mediocrity is left, and there is no ideal.

But today, His Majesty the Emperor's arrangement made him see once again the self he once was full of ambition and dedicated to serving the country!

"Very well, as long as it is done, you will be the first achievement. Go ahead. Sun Ning nodded at him with satisfaction, signaling that the two of them could leave the palace and act according to their own arrangements.

This time, he wanted to use the prestige of eradicating the two hidden dangers of Tangmen and Jinxiu Pavilion to quickly open up the situation in Yuzhou and stabilize the rear.

As long as there is no more trouble, as long as he has such an elite army in his hand that can go out to kill the enemy at any time, then two months later, he can directly use troops externally, first uproot the barbarian villages in nearby Hezhou and other places one by one, and then wait for the barbarians of all ethnic groups who are still in contact with the soldiers to enter his own territory and fight with him.

Zhuge Qingyun told him that everything had to be done within a year or two, so he couldn't wait any longer, and everything had to be done quickly.

And it turns out that Sun Ning's judgment this time is quite accurate, after having the name of the emperor and the bravery shown this time, the soldiers of Yuzhou are quite admiring him.

Now there is a silver reward to open the way, and there is no deduction, everyone is rewarded, which further stimulates the loyalty and fighting spirit of all soldiers.

As a result, after Feng Wanli promulgated the order to organize another elite battalion, in just three days, more than 12,000 people went to sign up, and after screening, more than 3,700 officers and men in the army were quickly selected as qualified.

After that, it was to recruit soldiers from the people, which was actually quite smooth, because the people of Yuzhou really saw the determination of the imperial court this time.
