"Alright, go and wake up Hongjin." Yang Chendong said very casually, then turned around and sat back on the big chair. In front of Hu Mang, he can make very casual moves, but in front of a general like Hong Jin, the majesty he should have must be maintained.

What is a superior. Not only do you have momentum, but you also have to learn to have a variety of methods, and even borrow various environments to enhance this momentum. Once it is done, it will put great psychological pressure on the subordinates, and when issuing any orders, there will naturally be no second voice.

Not long after Yang Chendong sat down, Hong Jin had already walked in under the guidance of Hu Mang.

As soon as he entered the room, Hong Jin knelt on his knees, did not dare to raise his head, and said in a very respectful voice, "Subordinate Hong Jin has seen the loyal and courageous father. ”

As a general, Hong Jin can clearly understand his identity, not to mention that in front of Yang Chendong, even in front of some ordinary mercenary officers, he is also very respectful. As a result, there was really no one to embarrass him for such a long time.

Originally, under the leadership and teaching of Yang Chendong, the mercenaries paid great attention to the equality of officers and soldiers. Even if it is a soldier who is pro-enlisted, as long as it is not too rampant, no one will go to trouble. For example, Hong Jin has a better attitude, and he is even more unscrupulous to say that no one has to get along with him.

"Hmm." Seeing Hong Jin kneeling in front of him so respectfully, Yang Chendong first nodded like a chin head, and then said as if he was very casual: "The errand is good." ”

Listening to this compliment, Hong Jin, who was kneeling there, was happy in his heart, but he still said very cautiously: "It's all taught by the loyal and courageous father." ”

"Okay, you don't need to be so angry with Zhongdangong, you are my person, and you will call me the sixth young master in the future." Yang Chendong also slowly straightened up when he said these words.

The change in title means that he has been initially accepted by Yang Chendong, and the overjoyed Hong Jin hurriedly knocked his head on the ground and said, "Yes, Sixth Young Master." ”

For Hong Jin's voice with a trace of trill, Yang Chendong can understand. After all, although the Hong family also has some power, it is really too far behind those big families like Ruan, Chen, Li, Fan, Huang, and Pan. It can be said that Hong Jin at this time is very eager to be understood and recognized.

Yang Chendong, who fully understands this, now wants to give the other party such a chance to get ahead. "Hong Jin, have you ever thought about putting aside the things at hand and doing something else?"

The task at hand was to settle the Han people who came from all over Cochin. Although this job seems inconspicuous, most of the Han people who come are dull-eyed, and many of them don't know why they came here, and they were forced to come by the Jiaozhi army. Such people are not grateful or excited.

Even so, Hong Jin is really happy to do these things, in his opinion, some things will not have any effect if he is not done at first, but after a long time, as long as he is really good to these Han people, they will eventually have someone who will remember him. I don't know when one or two of these people will get ahead, and if you are willing to look back at him when the time comes, that will be the greatest reward.

It was precisely because of such thoughts in his heart that when he suddenly heard Yang Chendong say that he would not let him take care of this matter, there was panic on his face. He didn't know if he had done something wrong, or if he had done something that made Yang Chendong dissatisfied. So the first reaction was to knock his head to the ground again, and then kept explaining: "Sixth young master, the villain is rude, if there is something that doesn't fit your heart, please don't remember the villain, and the little one knows that he is wrong, and he must correct it." ”

"Wrong? What's wrong with you? Rao is Yang Chendong is very smart, and he was also a little overwhelmed by Hong Jin's actions at this moment.

"Huh?" Listening to Yang Chendong's words, there was no blame, Hong Jin slowly raised his head with a puzzled expression.

Just as Hong Jin looked up, Yang Chendong's voice came out, "Young Master Ben wants to give you a chance, a chance to get ahead, a chance to carry forward your Hong family." In this way, you organize an army, you come to be a general, the number is set at about 30,000, it should be about the same, in addition to the advanced musket, what other weapons do you need Young Master Ben will also give you enough, how about it? ”

Before Yang Chendong's words were finished, there was already a heavy banging sound on the ground, and if you looked closely, this was the sound of Hong Jin kneeling and kowtowing.

It only took a few moments, and blood was already spilling from his forehead. "Sixth Young Master... Thank... Thank you, don't say anything, your kindness Hong Jin has written down, in the future, you say to the east, I will definitely not go west, and the Hong family will be the only sixth young master in the life of the horse. ”

No wonder Hong Jin is so excited. I think he has worked very hard since he was a child, so he has the opportunity to become a partial general by Ruan Gengwang's side, and has the opportunity to lead the troops alone. Although in the end, when facing the mercenaries, it failed. But isn't what he did just to glorify the Hong family?

Now I see that the Jiaozhi army, which is usually very powerful, is so vulnerable in the face of mercenaries. If you don't get one well, Jiaozhi will be in trouble, and whether the Hong family can keep it at this time still has to be said. And it was at this time that Yang Chendong did allow him to form an army of his own, such a powerful contrast is equivalent to a poor person who can't afford to eat, when he asks for food, he suddenly finds a check for 10 million in the bowl, where will he not be excited, will not be full of gratitude.

Hong Jin knelt there, with tears on his face of gratitude, and then he kept swearing and swearing, all of which was in Yang Chendong's eyes, and he was not moved.

Didn't he really want to pity anyone? Because when I thought that if it weren't for my own appearance, the dignified Han people would have to be slaves for the small nation of Jiannu for hundreds of years, I was angry. At that time, was anyone who ever pitied the Han Chinese?

The answer, of course, is no. In this world, it is still sad to live by the mercy of others. The most important thing is to have your own strength.

As long as you have enough strength, you can be recognized by others and sincerely respected by others. Everything else is just a floating cloud.

As for what Hong Jin said, it may be true now. But once he really gets a high position, once the strength of the mercenaries can't affect him, who knows what he will do?

Instead of putting your hopes in others, set strict rules at the beginning. In this way, there is a way to ask, and you are not afraid of what others are doing.

"Okay, you don't have to knock it anymore, your body is your own, and Young Master Ben still wants to use you? If you are injured and can't lead the team because of this, then you have to think about substitutions. ”

As soon as Yang Chendong said these words, Hong Jin really knelt there honestly, obviously he was really afraid that Yang Chendong would be replaced. In that case, the hard work and performance of this period of time will be in vain.

Seeing that Hong Jin's breath had also stabilized, people were not so excited. Yang Chendong's voice sounded again, "Young Master Ben can allow you to lead an army by yourself, but you also have to make three chapters of the law in advance, if you can do it, this errand is yours, if you can't do it, you don't need to force it, and Young Master Ben won't punish you for it." But if you say yes and can't do it, then you don't even have the chance to get a free body, understand? ”

"Understand, little one understands, the sixth young master just commands." At this moment, where does Hongjin still have the capital to bargain. He had already thought about it, no matter how harsh Yang Chendong's next conditions were, he would agree to them all. No matter how demanding it is, it's better than not knowing what will happen tomorrow today.

Seeing that Hong Jin agreed so happily, Yang Chendong did not doubt the sincerity of the other party at all. After all, if you change your perspective to the other party, I am afraid that you will not be able to refuse the opportunity to lead the troops alone. "Then you listen, first, 30,000 troops is a limit, no matter what happens in the future, unless there is an order for you, otherwise, the number of troops must not exceed this number, once discovered, you will be dismissed and investigated."

"Second, these 30,000 people must unconditionally obey the arrangements of the mercenary military department, and if you or any of your subordinates dare to have the slightest selfish motive, they will be killed! Even you yourself can't escape the charge of lax military governance. ”

"Third, the capable people in the Hong family can be in the army, and those who are not capable can't be forced here. As for the other people of the Hong clan who are not young, or the elderly, children and women, Young Master Ben will arrange for them to go to another place to ensure that their lives are good and there is no danger, but they must not live in this place of Jiaozhi. It's up to you to do this work. ”

"These are the three points, if you agree, Young Master Ben will also promise what I just said, if you can't agree, then I didn't say it." After Yang Chendong said the three rules, he waited for Hong Jin's answer. He didn't have any intention of persecuting people. There are some things that you can't do well without initiative.

As for why you want to think about forming a mercenary army in Cochin, of course, because the mercenaries are still too small, and if you occupy a place, you have to leave a large number of troops to control this place, then the number of mercenaries is probably not enough.

After Yang Chendong's words were finished, Hong Jin, who was kneeling on the ground, heard it clearly, and soon made his own decision. "Sixth Young Master, Hong Jin is willing."

Hong Jin could naturally hear the meaning of Yang Chendong's words, that is, he was not allowed to become big, let alone allowed to have his own power. In the end, it's just a puppet figure. But even so, at least he was the general of an army of 30,000. As long as you don't overdo it, there will be no problem. Compared with those Jiaozhi generals who still want to be enemies of mercenaries, those people will die, it is already very good that he can get these, why would he not want to?
