According to the truth, under Xue Tao's management, the Hedong Military Government is still quite meteoric. After the summons was issued, in less than two days, most of the officers and men of the military government from all walks of life gathered, and there were only two military offices in the north of Fenyin adjacent to the east and west of Fenshui.

Xingtai's preferential treatment of Hedong is also reflected in the personnel structure of the military government commanders. Of the eight military generals, six of them are native villagers in Hedong, and if Xue Tao is included, the Xue family will occupy three places among them.

The three sects under the Xue family are standing side by side, and each of them has to guard a military government, and Xue Tao, the superintendent who controls the overall situation, is on top, and as for the captains and captains in the military government, the number is even more. This is also an important reason why the Hedong Military Government is the Xue family's private army, and it also makes Xue Tao unable to refute it at all, and is eager to make meritorious contributions to wash away the stigma of taking power for personal gain and self-unification.

Compared with the situation of Hedong Township Capital and Township Situation, the situation of Hongnong, which is across the river, can be called miserable, Hongnong has no military government at all, and the township power has also been hit to the extreme due to Hongnong Yang's ambush.

But Haoqiang is unfortunately the great luck of the people, although Hongnong is not as prosperous as Hedong business, goods gathered, but it is also an important gateway in and out of the Guanzhong, and there are fertile fields and fertile fields, many Guanzhong including the north and south of the appeased food, are placed here, Ji Ding Juntian, it is conceivable that soon after, Hongnong this realm in addition to being the gateway to Shaanxi, will also be a fertile place full of grains.

When the generals arrived in Hedong, they were all surprised to learn of the specific orders they had received, but their reactions were different. Among them, there are naturally many young Zhuang villagers who are also thirsty for hunting skills and unwilling to be lonely, and when they finally wait for the moment when their villagers come on the field, they can't help but be excited and excited.

But there are still a few people, their faces can't help but show a little hesitation, Xue Luo, who is also from the Xue family, relying on his identity as the same sect as the superintendent, simply frowned and asked directly: "Is there any lack of consideration for the appointment of the Taiwan to this point?" It is true that the military situation is as fast as fire, but is our eastern river qu really an inevitable choice? ”

Hearing Xue Luo say this, some people also opened their mouths to question: "Yes, although the Hedong Military Mansion has been established for several years, it has never been used externally. People are cheap when they leave their hometowns, and it is difficult to obey the food, water and soil, and they need to be cautious when traveling far away, not to mention that this is an expedition of laborers and a battle on the battlefield! Indeed, many of our township enjoy the reward of protecting the platform, but it is not easy for the township to be brave and strong, and as a parent, how can we bear to drive them away from the countryside and throw their corpses far away! ”

Some people even looked embarrassed: "Do you really want to leave the country at this moment?" At present, it is the flood season when the river is rising, and the good time of the year for livelihood, there is an urgent shortage of labor at home and in the city. ”

Hearing the gossip of these generals who are called generals, but they are still shallow local tyrants, Xue Tao's face turned blue with anger, he raised his hand and slapped the table in front of him, Huo Ran got up, and said angrily: "Everyone, this is the general's order to enter the camp, what is the military order, do you know it?" Is it to ask for your opinion? ”

When everyone heard Xue Tao's roar, they couldn't help but be silent for a while, and they didn't dare to talk about it anymore.

Although everyone was silent, Xue Tao was in a bad mood. He was still a little proud and competent, but when he heard the generals talking about it before, his heart sank, and he embarked on the journey with a group of soldiers with this mentality. Was he overly optimistic about what he had assumed?

"Military orders are like mountains, and those who violate them will be killed! Under the punishment wood, nostalgia is not tolerated! Xingtai created a military government in Hedong, which is benevolent, righteous and tolerant, and does not block the righteous people of Hedong Township from revitalizing the society and determining the great achievements of the world. Loyal and brave people, they are happy when they hear the battle, and the special merits are in front of them, so they don't have time to look around! ”

Xue Tao made a few more inspiring words, and then his tone turned low again: "Hedong has been in turmoil for a long time, and the villagers are accustomed to being trapped in the countryside. After returning to the treatment, Xingtai benevolence and charity have benefited me a lot. But everyone, the king's affairs are so prosperous, and the rules and regulations are so returned, not that Zhuhu Gaoyi retreated, but that the generals and the loyal and brave soldiers of the king's division fought in the Northern Expedition, drank blood and trampled on the corpses, so that Zhuhu was destroyed and the royal road was re-prosperous! Hedong villagers, I have enjoyed a lot in the past, but I ask from the heart, do you really want to sit back and enjoy the success without exerting force? ”

"The title is ready to be used, the armor will be sent, and today I am still in the house, and I will temporarily allow you to speak out. But after the troops are dispatched, if there are any more critics of the military order on the way, they will be killed immediately to show the prestige of our army! The fierce soldier is by no means a country or a child's play, and instead of running away from the poor, sending him to die under the minions of Hu Lu and falling into the heart of our army, I would rather you wait for you to die at my hands! ”

Speaking of this, Xue Tao's whole body was filled with a murderous aura, although he did not have the experience of leading expeditions, but he had been proud of the countryside for a long time, and he was not a kind person who blindly endured and sought perfection.

Everyone was intimidated by its momentum, and they all sat in awe-inspiring for a while, and they didn't dare to gasp. But Xue Tao was not dignified, walked straight down, walked to Xue Luo's seat, pointed at Xue Luo condescendingly, and said in a condescending voice: "Unload your armor, hand over your talisman, and quit the account." If you commit another offense, wash your head and let me take it and show it to the armies. ”

When Xue Luo heard this, his face suddenly turned purple, and the corners of his mouth trembled constantly, he was already extremely embarrassed, he glanced at the rest of the people in the tent again, sat stiff for a long time, and his expression was faintly loosened, and his eyes also showed a little pleading, and whispered: "Second brother, I ......"

"Who is your brother in the tent? Remove your armor! ”

When Xue Tao heard this, his expression became even more angry, and he directly waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to step forward and throw Xue Luo to the ground, and then stripped off his armor in the middle of the banquet, searched for the talisman representing his identity, and directly dismissed him from his military position.

Xue Tao pinched the talisman in his hand, and the fierce color between his eyebrows was even more undisguised, he glanced around at everyone, and said solemnly: "In the old days, the creation of a military government in the countryside was originally due to the temporary use of nostalgia and power, and it did not follow the criteria for the selection of real military materials. In previous years, he practiced in the township, and he did not rush to kill and kill, so he also temporarily did the old things. But after today, if there is any reluctance to use the risk, it will be harming others and oneself! ”

"The villagers and the common people have many tastes and interests. You use it more often, whether you really have the talent and ambition to hunt with bows and horses, the distant thing is imminent, and you have to weigh it. If there is really no such interest, immediately remove the armor and resign, and the victim can still stop at one. But if the battle is tiring in the future, if you don't die alone and your reputation is ruined, it will affect the general strategy of Taiwan, the big crime will be investigated, and the clan will be difficult to preserve! ”

Xue Tao's attitude is so tough today, not purely to express the long-accumulated dissatisfaction in his heart through this order, but also to let these villagers recognize the cruel reality, foreign affairs conquest is definitely different from self-protection in troubled times, there are more variables, and the process is more cruel.

If you really think that with the experience of being trapped in the countryside in the old years, you can turn to the world and be invincible, that is the biggest joke, and the consequences are much more serious.

Sure enough, when they heard Xue Tao's words, several people showed a look of struggle and hesitation on their faces. In previous years, the world was in turmoil, and they had no choice. However, now that the countryside has returned to the rule and benefited from a lot of government decrees in Taiwan, they have settled in their own villages, and they do not have to worry about not having a steady stream of goods to enter, and their livelihood is not in trouble, and they can enjoy it endlessly.

Hedong Xiangliu is not all lonely and fearful, and how many people have the ambition to travel far away and pursue merit from Rong, which is also very debatable. Indeed, as Xue Tao said, if they feel that they don't have that kind of talent, they will quit at this moment just because they are ridiculed for their cowardice, but if they really go to the battle and make a big mistake, they will be held accountable, and their entire clan may be wiped out!

"General, I, the last general......"

After a long while, one of the people in the table stood up with a bitter face.

"Needless to say, hand over the talisman!"

Xue Tao waved his hand, not wanting to listen to any more reasons or excuses from this person.

The army was about to be dispatched, and he had just cleared up these unambitious commanders, which looked a little ridiculous. But in fact, if he hadn't seized this opportunity, he wouldn't have been able to get these villagers to obediently hand over their respective parts before.

Xingtai is magnanimous and tolerant of Hedong, which also means that the power of interference is not large, and the construction of the military government also depends on Xue Tao himself. And he was troubled by the excessively exuberant family situation, although he could use the prestige accumulated over the years to unite the villagers, but he did not dare to be too tough to eradicate the deeper ills.

Therefore, now he deeply feels the strong attitude of Xingtai in the restoration of the place, in addition to its own power, it is indeed what the current world needs. Without this kind of spirit of cleansing the filth and cutting off the ills, even if it is a superficial merger for a while, it will be difficult to completely condense it.

Just like the current situation, they are fortunate to be in the countryside of Hedong for the time being, but once they are in trouble, people's hearts will be scattered and difficult to gather, which makes people feel ridiculous and pathetic.

Thinking that he had felt that the Hedong Military Mansion had been established for several years, and the training had gradually taken shape, and he was eager to fight frequently, Xue Tao couldn't help but blush with shame. The old people in Xingtai despised and criticized him, and probably saw at a glance that his so-called Hedong Military Mansion was just a false appearance.

In the big tent, the commanders above the lord of the building were all present, and as Xue Tao himself was silent and reviewed his mistakes, several people got up and left the table one after another, leaving their own orders.

Every time someone stood up, Xue Tao felt that he had been stabbed in the heart, and his face was even more painful. He originally felt that he was thoughtful and ready to be on standby, but when the reality was frank in front of him, he was ashamed and couldn't accept it.

"If the general knows that the Hedong Military Mansion is being run like this......"

When Xue Tao thought of this, his heart couldn't help but move again, and he looked through the general's order again, and then gradually seemed to have an understanding.

The dispatch did not stipulate the route of the march, including the specific military period, which gave him great autonomy, and Xue Tao was originally grateful to the general for his trust, but the current events made him feel more.

This time, the military dispatch was not limited to their Hedong Military Office, but a cross-regional overall adjustment, and there were several parts of the Wang Division's troops around the south of Saihu. In addition to the Guanzhong Military Government in Beidi and other counties and counties, the elite and newly formed Zhenwu Army in the west also went out to fight, and in northern Shaanxi at present, there is also the Hongwu Army, an old powerhouse.

Saihu's strength is not strong, this is not only the superficial impression of the people of the time, but also the letter from the Hongwu Army on the front line also shows this. However, when the general was planning his strategy, he was still solemn, not only were the two elite armies platoon located in the north, but they were also laid out layer by layer in the region, and even recruited and transferred their Hedong Prefecture troops to ......

The general should not be disappointed, but have a sufficient understanding of the background of their Hedong Mansion soldiers. Therefore, the main strategic intention of mobilizing them this time probably will not be to hope that the Hedong Army will be able to complete it, and it should only be a training exercise.

Thinking of this, Xue Tao couldn't help but sigh again in his heart. He was not discouraged by the high hopes of the general, but felt by the general's compassion for their Hedong Army, and was willing to give them the right opportunity to sharpen and grow.

"If you use this, how can you repay it!"

Xue Tao sighed, and his mood became even heavier. He also understood that the general still left him a buffer time, so that he could drastically reform the remnants of the military government's nostalgia, and he didn't have to make any grand wishes for expeditionary hunting at the moment, taking advantage of the current military order, the Hedong military government was forged and condensed, and it was taken out of the Hedong countryside to reach the northern Shaanxi theater, which was regarded as the victory of the first stage.

Thinking of this, he straightened up again, put aside many distractions in his heart, and just silently watched as those commanders took the initiative to hand over the talisman and military positions. This was only the first step, and later he would continue to purge his troops, eliminate all the unsuitable people, and at the same time prevent these people from being unwilling to leave their posts and incite them to stay in the military palace to cause rebellion.

The latter task is actually not difficult for Xue Tao to complete. Xingtai left him enough buffer time, and the years-long intensive training and drills have allowed those villagers to gradually adapt to their new identity as military government soldiers.

Similarly, the situation in Hedong is now thriving, and these villagers who have withdrawn have no intention of bowing horses and martial arts, and are attached to the local capital, and after withdrawing, they may have to breathe a sigh of relief, turn around and devote themselves to the acquisition of wealth, and are too lazy to ask about the old military affairs.

With all these piles, it can be said that the general has prepared all the conditions for Xue Tao, if he doesn't know how to follow the trend, then it can be said that there is no salvation at all.

After sorting out all of this, Xue Tao understood the general's overall business strategy for Hedong.

First, through absolute tolerance and even connivance, Hedong was brought under the rule of Xingtai without any resistance, and then fully cooperated with the construction of the Pusaka battalion, without forming a trace of constraints in the western expedition.

The Haozong Township of Hedong was first gathered in the form of a military government, avoiding scattered in the countryside, and putting it aside for the time being, and then making every effort to develop the business affairs of Hedong, attracting many township tycoons to settle down on the riverside, and further disintegrating the original nostalgia of Hedong.

And the countryside left by these townsmen has become pure and simple, which is what Xingtai really wants in Hedong, or reclamation or war, a blank piece of paper to sway.

In this process, the previously recovered Guanlong was gradually digested, and the villagers in Hedong gradually became accustomed to the coalescing form of military training.

The whole process did not move the swords, did not hurt the peace, and Hedong, whether it was nostalgia or rural situation, was unconsciously erased by the big hand. As for those township tyrants who have withdrawn from the military government, they can only guard a corner of the land along the river to earn food and clothing in the future, and what energy and confidence do they have to resist the platform?

Previously, the general passed through Hedong, saying that the pastoral rule of Hedong would not change in the short term, not that it would not, but that it was no longer necessary. Of course, the premise is that Xue Tao can unify the military government and successfully bring these government soldiers out of their hometown.

Can Xue Tao refuse? If this is the reward, there is only one way in front of him to seek merit, and he has no choice!

"The general is majestic, the longer he goes, the more he sighs at the unfathomable depths of the abyss!"

This whole set of logical established facts, although Xue Tao thought about it himself, and if this was the case, he couldn't be sure whether it was the situation or the general's deliberate creation.

And he himself has no resistance to this, although he also understands that his family's future achievements can no longer exist in Hedong, but in fact, there is a broader way out.

was originally forced to take the huge wealth in his arms helplessly, but as he led his troops to leave, he would definitely be taken over by the Wang Shi of Tongguan and would not be put in private accounts again. Xue Tao didn't have much to lose about this, and it would only make his family more and more difficult, and now the father and son are lightly armed, bravely pursuing their achievements, and consolidating a loyal, brave and righteous family name, which is really worth passing on to future generations!

Moreover, Xue Tao is still faintly complacent, looking at the world, with the power of General Shen today, I am afraid that even Shi Jilong of the Kingdom of Shen is not worthy of being so tortuous by the general, from this point of view, he should be proud, this is not another form of tolerance of General Shen.
