Not much.

Zhao Yi, who learned the news, found Zhao Tuo in a hurry, and said with a face full of disbelief: "Father, why am I on this list of veterans?" I clearly didn't apply, and I was placed in Huai County? What kind of place is this? ”

"I don't want to go!"

Listening to Zhao Yi's complaints, Zhao Tuo's face was as usual.

He calmly poured himself a cup of hot water, and said in a deep voice: "I can't help you whether you go or not, this time the transfer of non-commissioned officers is the sole responsibility of His Royal Highness's Affairs Office, I have no authority to intervene, even if I don't want you to go, I can't make decisions for you." ”

"It's impossible to intercede for you."

"Father." Zhao Yi was a little anxious.

He didn't want to leave the army.

He is clear about his abilities.

Once he left the barracks, without Zhao Tuo's protection, he would not be able to move an inch in the place.

And what kind of place is Huaixian?

That's where a big case has just happened.

And Fusu has also handled cases there before.

The local officials there are probably already colluding with Fusu, can he still get along well in the past?

Zhao Yi took a sip of warm water, his mouth was originally a little dry, but it was a little polished, he looked at Zhao Yi coldly, and scolded: "What did I tell you before?" Don't be so frizzy when you encounter things, staying away from Lingnan is not a bad thing for you. ”

"As the commander of the army, I can only respond to this incident, how can I show favoritism for you at this time?"

"Although Huai County is not as good as Yongcheng, it is still in Guanzhong, and the population is about to reach 10,000 households, you work hard in Huai County, increase the population to 10,000 households, and then you will naturally improve the county order, and you may not be able to enter the court in the future."

Zhao Yi's eyes were full of disbelief.

Zhao Tuo looked at Zhao Yi with deep eyes, sighed lightly, and said: "This matter is so decided, there is no chance to change, you don't have to bother talking any more, as the commander of the army, if I don't approve of the matter of retiring from the army, wouldn't it be even more dissatisfying if it spreads?" ”

"When the hearts of the soldiers are shaken, will they not become sinners?"

Zhao Yi looked aggrieved and said unwillingly: "Father, I really don't want to go to Huaixian, I just want to serve by my father's side, and I am a general in the army, and I did not apply for discharge from the army this time, this is obviously His Highness's own opinion, nonsense, father, you have every reason to refuse, and even find His Highness to theorize." ”

"This is His Highness's fault."

Zhao Tuo glanced at Zhao Yi coldly, and said in a cold voice: "Hugh has to talk nonsense here, how could His Highness have said that he would not move?" As for what kind of application, His Highness made it very clear that day, only for reference, and would not really take it as a basis, these things were clearly stated so clearly, you didn't listen to it at all. ”

"And this time it's not against you."

"In addition to you, Tu Lan will also be transferred."

"Tu Lan's military exploits in the army are much more than yours, and he has taken the lead many times, if I intercede for you, do I have to intercede for Tu Lan? Once this opening is opened, and other generals come to me, will I have to intercede with others? ”

"If this continues, won't the army be in chaos?"

"Since His Highness has set a specific roster, we can only follow it as Great Qin generals."

"I used to be so indulgent with you that you were a little too headstrong!"

Zhao Tuo coldly scolded Zhao Yi a few words.

Zhao Yi was full of grievances.

He didn't care about the discharge from the army before, and he didn't think that it would fall on his head, and when he heard the specific news, he was stunned.

"Let's go down."

"Sort it out during this time."

"Wait a few days to go to Huaixian."

Zhao Tuo settled the matter in one bite.

Zhao Yi still wanted to struggle, but when he saw Zhao Tuo's cold gaze, he could only swallow it back in the end.

Waiting for Zhao Yi to walk away, Zhao Tuo's eyes were gloomy.

He clenched his fists, but he was thinking in his heart, whether he was a little too upright at the beginning, if he really listened to Lu Jia's words at that time and raised his own respect, maybe this incident would not have happened at all, and even after Hu Hai's words, he could have spread some rumors, and the general's heart would be completely shaken, and then the only way to enter Lingnan would be cut off.

Time.

Zhao Tuo thought a lot.

But soon, he calmed down.

If you really do this, I am afraid that as soon as I say it, I will be taken by the generals below and sacrificed to Xianyang, in the final analysis, his control over the army is not so high.

The sergeants and soldiers of the army are still full of respect for the First Emperor.

As long as the First Emperor is still around, the South China Sea Army will not really let it go.

So he didn't really have a choice at all.

Except for swallowing his anger and silently accepting everything, he can't do anything.

He was just a general who led the troops for the First Emperor.

And that's all.

Zhao Tuo sat on the seat dejectedly.

He didn't want to struggle anymore.

I really don't know how to struggle.

The only hope is that this matter can end as soon as possible, or he can be transferred away as soon as possible, so that the big stone hanging in his heart can completely fall, he still has merit to Daqin after all, although he has had some unrealistic thoughts, but after all, he has not really done so, even if someone reports it, he can't find too much.

It's just a suspicion.

The other side.

When the roster of non-commissioned officers was completely announced, the Southern Navy Battalion was completely boiling, and a large number of non-commissioned officers gathered together to discuss the roster this time, but when they saw the names of Tu Lan and Zhao Ying, they couldn't help but be shocked.

But in addition to being surprised, it is more convincing.

After all, even Zhao Tuo's son is on the roster, which is enough to prove the strength of the imperial court this time.

Meanwhile.

Tu Lan, who was discussing with Yang Wengzi about the final elimination of the Ouyue Baiyue people, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the news, he actually didn't think that he would have himself.

Time.

But he was a little at a loss.

Compared with Tu Lan's blankness, Yang Wengzi was quite pleased.

Tu Lan since his father Tu Sui died in battle, he has been holding the fire of revenge in his heart, he was originally a very cheerful young man, but now he has become very gloomy, for Tu Lan's situation, Yang Wengzi has always been worried, but the war in the South China Sea has not stopped, and he is not easy to persuade, this time His Royal Highness will transfer Tu Lan away, which is actually a good thing for Tu Lan.

Staying away from the South China Sea may allow Tu Lan to come out.

Tu Lan's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated: "As a general in the army, I should obey the order, but the third expedition against the Baiyue people is imminent, maybe the last, but I can't participate in such a battle, and I am really unwilling in my heart." ”

Yang Wengzi said: "There is not much suspense in this battle. ”

"Even the army won't use too much, I know you're vengeful, but in the past two expeditions, Baiyue has long been defeated, and only a remnant of the defeated army is still lingering, you don't need to be so attentive at all, since your father died in battle, your temperament has changed greatly, this situation is actually not very good, and you should come out now."

"Yongcheng is a big county."

"In the past, it was the old capital of my Great Qin."

"You were valued by His Royal Highness, appointed as the county commander, in the future, you should learn to deal with local political affairs, since the Shang Jun changed the law, the soldiers of Daqin, many generals have entered the prime minister, if you can make achievements in the locality, you may not be able to go further, and achieve higher achievements than your father."

"And this time, you must not do much."

"You're a special person after all."

"He is the son of the former commander-in-chief, and his position in the army is relatively unique, if you oppose this matter, His Highness will definitely consider it at his discretion, but this move will break the rules."

"There are no rules."

"Your Highness has made it clear before that this transfer is mandatory."

"Once you change, it's empty talk."

"Whether you are good or Zhao Ying, you can only set an example!"

"There must be no counter-examples."

Tu Ran nodded.

also dispelled the idea of going to Fusu.

Since Tu Lan has been decided to be transferred, he will not participate in the next military affairs, so Yang Wengzi did not let Tu Lan continue to stay, but asked him to go back first and hand over the affairs of the general, so that he could go to Yongcheng as soon as possible.

Waiting for Tu Lan to walk away, Yang Wengzi said with a smile: "Your Highness is indeed extraordinary. ”

"With the special identity of Tu Lan, Zhao Yi was also transferred, and judging from the roster above, many of these non-commissioned officers have had direct or indirect contact with Zhao Tuo, and when these non-commissioned officers are all transferred, Zhao Tuo's influence in the army will be greatly reduced."

"So."

"The South China Sea army can also be completely stabilized."

"It's just that His Highness's growth is a little too amazing."

"But that's a good thing."

"Judging from the current situation, His Royal Highness seems to be dissatisfied with the court officials, but he is very serious about the non-commissioned officers in the army, most of my Yang children have entered the army for so many years, and this move does not have much impact on my Yang family, and even the benefits outweigh the disadvantages."

"Now that Zhao Tuo's wings have been almost pruned, it is time to focus on the final military affairs, the imperial court has spent too much manpower, material and financial resources in the South China Sea, and it is time to end this war that has lasted for many years."

Yang Wengzi retracted his mind.

He looked at the parchment map in front of him again.

The final pre-war preparations are being made.

For the next war, Fusu did not have the idea of participating, although he knew something about the military, but he was not proficient, he would not rush to intervene, and before deciding on the transfer of non-commissioned officers in the army, he deliberately approached Li Xin and asked whether it would have an impact on the army's military morale and combat effectiveness, and finally got Li Xin's affirmative answer.

Normally there is.

However, the sergeants and soldiers of the army have been fighting for many years, and they all have a strong war-weariness in their hearts.

The initial passion for war has long been lost.

Moreover, the imperial court has never made it clear whether it will let them go back in the end, so the morale of the army is generally not high, just because of the heavy losses before, the soldiers have more or less resentment in their hearts and need to vent out, so there are not many objections to the third expedition.

However, the transfer of non-commissioned officers seems to have injected a boost into the army.

Let the soldiers see a glimmer of hope.

In particular, some non-commissioned officers will be arranged to leave in advance, which also means that there will be at least hundreds of new non-commissioned officers on top, and these people are very likely to be transferred in the future, which will undoubtedly boost morale, and with the Qin army's familiarity with Lingnan, the Baiyue people have long been unable to resist the Qin army's offensive.

It is a great enhancement to the morale of the military.

Furthermore.

Military merit can be achieved by fighting.

Especially as Fusu said before, many of them are linked to titles.

If you can kill a lot of enemies in this military battle, you may not be able to be promoted from a petty officer to a non-commissioned officer, and then you can't finish your service period faster?

Even so.

Fusu was still a little worried.

He even secretly told Li Xin that in order to ensure that nothing went wrong and not to care about the cost, he would rather use a strong bow to shoot a few more rounds to ensure that this military operation was a complete victory.

He didn't want any surprises to happen.

Even if it costs more.

It is also not spared.

Regarding Fusu's suggestion, Li Xin listened to it.

However, the war has not yet begun, especially with the transfer of a large number of non-commissioned officers, new non-commissioned officers take over, and because all the people in Daqin are soldiers, almost all Qin people have to serve in adulthood, the quality of the army is not low, and the run-in time will not take too long, so in the end, the war time will be delayed for a while.

Fortunately, the climate in Lingnan is hot and humid, unlike in the north, and the climate will take a sharp turn for the worse.

So the length of time doesn't affect much.

At this time.

In the county of Lingling.

Fusu was holding "Han Feizi" and figuring it out.

After nearly a year of baptism, he has a deeper understanding of Han Feizi, and now he looks at Han Feizi again, and he also has different feelings and understandings.

Fusu muttered: "Han Feizi is really everyone. ”

"He sees relationships too clearly."

"People and people, Toiya!"

"Han Fei is right, whether people are stupid or smart, they will make trade-offs when making choices, and the criteria for making trade-offs are only four words, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages."

"It's human nature."

"Where there is benefit, the people return; The name is revealed, and the soldier is dead! ”

"The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit."

"Everyone in the world says that it is not right for the Yang Tiger of the Lu State to commit rebellion, but as long as the interests are big enough, who will not become the Yang Tiger of the whole world?"

"Human nature, inherently evil!"

"No one does not make profits, and no one does not calculate!"

"For example, Bole, the world says that Maxima is often there, and Bole is not often, but when Bole teaches people to horses, if you hate the student, teach him to be a horse, if you like that student, teach him to be an ordinary horse, the world thinks that Bole is a bright festival, in fact, Maxima has not been encountered for a hundred years, but ordinary horses are always there."

"Why is there no calculation in it?"

"The truth is that Mr. Ji understood it very early."

"It's been said for a long time."

"And the same is true of kings and ministers."

"The king and the minister have nothing to do with each other, they can cooperate because the monarch needs the intelligence of the courtiers, and the courtiers covet the monarch's reward, so they can go together, but whether it is the king or the minister, you have to remember that what is harmful to yourself and beneficial to the country, the minister will not do, and what is harmful to the country and beneficial to the minister, the king will not do."

"Between kings and ministers."

"All we have to do is settle our own accounts."

"In this way, the relationship can be established and consolidated, and in the end, it must be based on interests."

"This is"

"The king is to harm the minister, and the minister is to plan the king."

"Friends of kings and ministers, Ji Ye!"

Fusu looked at it word by word, and the feelings in his heart continued to accumulate.
