After returning from the school field, Tian Wen took Li Hao to visit various barracks and the Chinese army's tent.

"If you have any doubts, you have to consult Yanjun."

Li Hao stopped and said, "General Tian, please speak." ”

"Although the Flame Land is nominally a subject country of the Qi State, it is also the land of a country after all. Normally, the military should be strengthened to prevent other countries from coveting it. Now, some of the nobles and magnates have more than 3,000 soldiers, why does Yan Jun want to disarm? Aren't you worried about the destruction of the country? Tian Wen said suspiciously.

"General Tian, since I am a subject of the Qi State, I naturally have to follow my duty. My original intention of disarmament was to tell the King of Qi that I did not have the heart to dominate the world in Yandi, and the three thousand armor soldiers were just to maintain the stability of Yandi and the need for city defense. If another country really invades the Flame Land in the future, won't there still be the Qi country? Will King Qi sit idly by? ”

Tian Wen was stunned, he didn't expect Li Hao to answer like this at all.

"However, I saw that Yan Jun's words to inspire the Qinglong Army did not lose his enterprising spirit, and what Yan Jun said was inevitably a little untrue."

Li Hao laughed when he heard this: "General Tian, saying and doing are two different things. My Yandi is too small, the shallows can't raise dragons, and the Yandi doesn't have the qualifications and ability to dominate the world, and this monarch is self-aware, so the first thing is to disarm. ”

"However, I have gone through a hundred years of hardships, the people are struggling to make a living, the people are living a difficult life, and they have long lost confidence, like a pool of stagnant water, and they cannot see the future and hope."

"General Tian has been in charge of the Yushan camp for many days, and you should know best how the soldiers of the hot land are. If there is one word to describe it, it is the walking dead, without soul and without vitality. It's just for the sake of my family's support, but in fact, there is only a shell left, and that's how I felt when I first arrived at the Hayama camp. ”

Tian Wen's face changed, and there was thought in his eyes.

Li Hao continued: "The people are like weeds, as long as they have a little soil, they can live, and they don't have too high requirements and desires at all. So, just give them a little hope and they will recover. I'm in ruins now, like a newborn child. There is hope for the coming days, passion for work, and a thriving scene, which is what I want. ”

"And as the lord of the Burning Land, if I don't speak to inspire my people, does General Tian want me to die before the Burning Land is prosperous?"

Tian Wen hurriedly bowed down and said, "Tian Wen doesn't dare." ”

"General Tian, now that the Seven Kingdoms are vying for hegemony, any country can pull out hundreds of thousands of troops, and the State of Chu is even known as a million wearing armor. The population of my Yandi is only more than 200,000, there is the State of Qi and the State of Chu below, and I am between the two males, and it is still difficult to survive, how dare I think about it again. Not to mention that there are only 3,000 armor soldiers, even if there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the hot land, what can they do? It is better to unload the armor and return to the field to reclaim the field, so that it can also solve the problem of food and clothing for the people, and the country of Tan is now poor. ”

Tian Wen nodded and said, "Tan Jun understands it, Tian Wen is too worried. In the future, there will be four treasures of the scholar's house, and there should be no shortage of money and food, and Yanjun does not have to worry. In this case, Tian Wen has to return to Linzi to resume his life, so he will leave. ”

After Tian Wen left, Li Hao took Yiwei and Prisoner Zhong back to Shuai's tent.

Yi Wei smiled: "This Tian Wen is also smart, the gentleman is too sharp on the stage, and the other party is afraid that he will notice something, so he will make a tentative speech." Who knew that the king should deal with it properly, I am afraid that it will dispel many of the other party's doubts. ”

Li Hao frowned and said, "Tian Wen's qualifications are still shallow, and he can't influence King Qi yet. The reason why I explained so much was just to completely let King Qi let down his guard against me through his mouth. Yiwei, how did the 50,000 gold grain go? Whether it can be delivered to the cities in time. ”

Yi Wei donated 100,000 gold, and Li Hao exchanged 50,000 of them for grain and let the other party transport it to various cities. The retired soldiers of the Yushan battalion will have to receive food in the next few days, and if the food cannot be delivered on time, then the fun will be great.

Yi Wei said: "Your Excellency don't worry, the first batch of grain can arrive in Tancheng today, and the other three cities can be in place tomorrow and the day after tomorrow at the latest, and there will be no problems." ”

Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This time it was done, you should be credited with your first merit." ”

Tian Wen had already led the crowd out of the Yushan range at this time, and the accompanying staff spoke: "General, Yanjun is known as a virtuous person, and he has no intention of fighting for hegemony in what he says and does, so we are afraid that we are too worried." ”

Tian Wen nodded and said: "At the beginning, Zhou Tianzi's edict conveyed that I had sent a letter to the King of Qi to admonish the King of Qi and wanted to lead troops to attack Tancheng and capture Li Hao, but the King of Qi and his father opposed it. Now Guan Yanjun's words and deeds only want to govern the fiefdom well, and even take the initiative to disarm and show goodwill. Yan Jun has a saying that makes sense, the shallows can't raise dragons. There are few villains in the hot land, suppressed by the Qi State above, and the Chu State is dominant, between the two great powers, I really can't turn over any storms, it should be that I am too careful. ”

Li Hao's words still had a little effect.

The next day, after Li Hao completely took over the Yushan camp, the convoy turned around and set off again. The second stop was the Xishuang camp outside the East China Sea City, accompanied by 3,000 armor soldiers.

The distance between the two places is only 16 kilometers, which is closer than Tancheng. Departure in the morning, before noon, the convoy had arrived at the destination, and Chen Zhen led the crowd to greet him.

The handover of the city is very cumbersome, not only to transfer the household registration and government affairs, but also to demarcate the boundary and replace the city defense. Fortunately, there was Yin Wen on this trip, and dozens of subordinates accompanied him, and the handover of various affairs was quite smooth.

Yin Wen was in charge of handing over the city, and Li Hao took Juzhong and Yiwei to the Xishuang camp outside the city.

The situation here is not much different from the Yushan camp, and the state of Chu also has a standing army of 10,000 people here. Donghai City originally belonged to the Flame Land, and these people were also the people of the Flame Land, and there was no difference between them and the Yushan Camp in essence.

The tangible benefits are the most impressive. Such a generous and benevolent monarch, how have they ever seen it, and one by one they have become hyperactive from numbness. In the end, there were more soldiers left than the Hayama battalion, and there were more than 4,000 people.

Li Hao ordered the two soldiers' campuses in Xishuang and Yushan to gather, but he didn't expect that something would almost happen.

The soldiers of the two places belong to Qi and Chu, and it is normal to have a little grudge, and it is not certain whose comrades-in-arms and brothers will be injured and killed by the other party. At this time, a conflict broke out.

When Li Hao came, the scene was already very chaotic.

"Yanjun is here, stop it."

Prisoner Zhong stepped forward to separate everyone, and Li Hao looked at both sides with a gloomy face.

"Why the trouble?"

Neither of them spoke, just stared at each other fiercely with their eyes.

Li Hao's brows furrowed, and he smacked his lips and said, "Didn't anyone say it?" Well, all those who make trouble and brawl will have one major demerit deducted, and two months' food remuneration will be deducted. ”

When all the soldiers heard this, their faces changed drastically, and other punishments were acceptable, but food was everyone's nemesis. Two months' grain is 600 catties, enough for the family to eat for two months.

"Yan Jun, this matter is none of the others, it's all the villain's fault, and I hope Yan Jun will punish the villain alone." At this time, a person came out of the Hayama camp, this person had a rough face and a burly body, and unexpectedly resisted the matter.

The corners of Li Hao's mouth raised, he was not afraid of making trouble, he was afraid of having the heart to make trouble, and he had no courage to take responsibility.

"What's your name?"

"Hui Yanjun, the villain is called thunder."

Li Hao said: "Do you have a surname?" ”

"The villain was born poor and had no surname, because when he was born, the thunder fell sharply, so the mother named the villain Lei."

Li Hao nodded, during the Warring States Period, there were indeed a considerable number of people who did not have surnames.

Just like Little Japan, before the 19th century, there were basically no surnames. Because of the implementation of the policy, the Japanese have to take a surname, but in a hurry, what is the best choice? You can only find a random scene nearby, so there are Inoue, Takahashi, Tanaka or something.

Thousands of years ago, China has divided surnames, surnames, and first names, and the original surname of the Yellow Emperor was Gongsun, but because he often lived in Jishui, he changed his surname to Ji. The surname Ji is derived from the surname Zhou, the surname Lu, the surname Zheng, the surname Wei, the surname Yang and so on. Emperor Yan was born in Jiang Shui, so he changed his surname to Jiang, and the surname Jiang was derived from the surname Lu, the surname Qi, the surname Gao, the surname Guo, the surname Lei, the surname Xie, etc., the Chinese surname is broad and profound, the inheritance is orderly, and the root of it is amazing.

Getting back to the point, Li Hao asked, "Why make trouble?" ”

Lei Dao: "This person killed my comrade-in-arms, I want to avenge my brother." ”

Li Hao frowned slightly, and waved his hand to let the other party retreat.

Comrades in the army are like brothers, like siblings, this is the person who can deliver the back, Lei avenges his brother, which shows that there is blood, righteousness, although the army does not need righteousness, but it needs blood and humanity, if the army does not have bloody humanity, it is a disaster.

Li Hao pondered and stepped onto the platform, raised his eyes to look at the soldiers below, and said: "You belonged to the two kingdoms of Qi and Chu before, and it is inevitable that you will fight each other in the territory. But have you ever wondered what you are fighting for? ”

There was silence below.

"No, you never thought about it. Perhaps, you will say, you are doing military service for your family. So, tell me, have your family's lives changed for the better after so many years of military service? ”

"No, I still can't fill my stomach, I am still oppressed and exploited. So, what are you fighting for? ”

"Since King Wu sealed my Tanzi clan in the hot land, multiplied for hundreds of years, chased his bloodline, related to his relatives, and dissolved in water, you are the people of a country, and you are the robe. Now, for the sake of Qi and Chu, you have extended your butcher's knife to your compatriots, and this monarch is heartbroken, lamenting that you are stupid and stupid. ”

"You and others worked hard for the two kingdoms of Qi and Chu, but someone became the chief of the pawn and the chief of the army? No, you and the others are all people who have been enslaved by the two kingdoms of Qi and Chu, and they can't protect their families at the top, and they can't be promoted to the rank of knight, but they are just swords in the hands of the two countries, and they will open up territory for the two countries on the battlefield. So, what personal grievances can you have? If the enemy slashes you, and you do not seek revenge on the person who cut you, but you hate the sword in the other person's hand, it is ridiculous and cowardly, and you are not a big man, not a bloody man. ”

"You should serve in the military, according to the courtesy, why do you pay you? The people should serve as laborers, and they should be courteous, so why does this monarch pay the people? For you are all my people in the hot land, and you are my robes. Born in this troubled era, Benjun can't stop the conquest of other countries, but Benjun can guarantee that when you wait on the battlefield, try to make your family live a better life, and let you and other meritorious people wait to worship the general. ”

"Remember, one finger is easy to break, but five fingers are hard to break. Only when the robe is united can it bring stability to the hot land, bring stability to the family, make the hot land strong, and not be enslaved by other countries. ”

"Since you have a grudge against each other, then I will give you a chance. At this moment, you can seek revenge on your enemies, and let me see who is stronger and who is more courageous. Come on, let's get started, this gentleman will never interfere. ”

None of the soldiers in the audience moved, their expressions were a little moved, and there was a trace of hostility in their eyes.

"Hmph, no one did anything, but you guys have some brains. Remember, this is only one chance, since you don't do it, then in the future, throw away all the past grudges, between you is a robe Ze not an enemy, the real enemy is the two kingdoms of Qi and Chu. Three happy events in life: the night of candles in the cave house, the long drought and the rain, and the old acquaintance in another country. How cruel it is for compatriots to kill each other. Here, this monarch has set up a military rule, if anyone dares to seek revenge in the future, he will be decided. ”

"Who has objections?"

Li Hao looked around angrily, and all the armorers did not dare to look at him.

"Okay, in that case, today's army brawl is a first offense, and Lei will temporarily remember it, and deduct one month's salary, and take it as a warning."

"But I'm not convinced."

Ray stepped out and bowed, "The villain is willing to accept the punishment." ”

Li Hao nodded and said: "Very good, dare to love and hate, worthy of being my Yandi man." In addition, I will issue another military rule, that all my soldiers in the land of the flame shall not bow down, but only perform military salutes. There is gold under the man's knees, and the knees of my hot men are cast of copper and iron, and they should stand proudly in the world and should not be bent before men. ”

Such bold words can impress the iron-blooded man the most, and all the armorers are extremely excited.

"Look, this is a military salute."

Li Hao shouted: "Salute." ”

With that, the feet are together, the legs are straight, and the arms are naturally attached to the outside of the legs.

Then, the five fingers are together, the right arm is naturally raised, the big arm is level with the shoulder, the lower arm is cut up, and the palm stops at the ear, which is a standard military salute.

Li Hao circled around, then put down his right hand and said: "This is the military salute, which is exclusive to my soldiers in the Flame Land." Now, I would like to announce the news that the military competition will be held from now on. The purpose of this competition is to select the commanders and generals of the Qinglong Army. ”

"Other countries don't give you the opportunity to be promoted, but this king gives it to you. You are my soldiers of the Flame Land, the people of the Flame Land, as long as you have the ability and talent, everyone can be a general. ”

"The future military system of the Qinglong Army is an army, division, brigade, regiment, battalion, company, platoon, and squad. There are 10 people in a class, and there is a squad leader and a deputy squad leader; A platoon has five squads, with a platoon commander and a deputy platoon leader; There are five platoons in a company, with a company commander and a deputy company commander; A battalion has five companies, with a battalion commander and a deputy battalion commander; There are five battalions in one regiment, one regiment commander and one deputy regiment commander. For each step up in rank, the monthly salary increases by 300 catties of grain. “

In this competition, the two of them fought against each other, the winner continued, the loser was eliminated, and the top 100 were finally determined. In the end, the champion can receive the post of head of the regiment, and he will receive 1,800 catties of grain per month. The remainder shall serve in order of rank. ”

"What the Blue Dragon Army needs is generals, not mediocre talents. A soldier bears a nest of bears. In this competition, except for the replacement of weapons with wood, this gentleman does not make any restrictions. If you can't, you can admit defeat, otherwise the fight won't stop. ”

Li Hao was not interested in fighting and killing, so he left dozens of soldiers to organize a martial arts competition, and returned to Donghai City with Yi Wei himself.
