Qin Feng was a little depressed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He has a lot of respect for Cheng Wuben, and during the period when Cheng Wuben was serving, he can be said to be undressing and pushing food, in fact, from the bottom of his heart, he still hopes that Cheng Wuben can put down everything and serve him wholeheartedly. After all, at that time, Cheng Wuben had just suffered a major blow in the Chu State, his military power was relieved, and he was suspicious of the emperor, so he was the weakest.

But no matter how hard he tried, when Cheng Wuben was trying his best to help him, what he was thinking about was to support Qin Feng, find a firm ally for Da Chu, and open up a second battlefield against Qi.

He did succeed, and with his help, Qin Feng overthrew the Wu Yue Kingdom in a short period of time and established his own Ming regime on this land.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Qin Feng did not hesitate to give Cheng Wuben the position of the secretary of the military department, and also wanted him to stay in Daming to continue to serve, but no matter how he showed his goodwill, when the Chu State sent a fluttering edict to Cheng Wuben, he immediately left everything in the Ming State and returned to Chu without the slightest concern, and took Jiang Tao away by the way.

For quite a long time, Qin Feng was quite depressed. Qin Feng is very proud, he thinks that he is not inferior to Min Ruoying in any aspect and even much better, but he can't keep such a great talent.

In the end, Quan Yun's sentence of "feelings for the homeland" made Qin Feng feel a little better. But I respect this old handsome man even more in my heart.

But now, Jiang Tao is dead. And according to Quan Yun's analysis, Cheng Wuben will not live long. What made Qin Feng feel a little uncomfortable was that the driving force behind all this was himself. And in the end, it was his wife who poured fire oil on top of this pile of dry wood and threw it down on the spark.

I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me.

How this made him happy.

"This elm pimple skull." He scolded indignantly, "Kitten, how far is it from the Kunwu military camp?" ”

"Your Majesty, we have already gone on the straight road to the barracks, about five miles, which is the barracks of the Blue Wolf Camp." The kitten could see that Qin Feng's mood was quite bad.

"Let's go!" A backhand whip struck the horse on the horse's stock, and galloped towards the barracks of the blue wolf camp.

Kunwu and Nanyang, as the two gateways of Yuejing City, one south and one north, are stationed in the elite blue wolf battalion and miner battalion of the Ming Dynasty, and today Qin Feng made a special trip to the Kunwu blue wolf camp station, of course, not on a whim, but because today is the first batch of retired soldiers from the blue wolf camp will leave the barracks, Qin Feng made a special trip to preside over their retirement ceremony.

This is the first batch of soldiers in the Ming army to retire because of their age, and in the next few years, according to Qin Feng's plan, the entire Ming army of soldiers over thirty years old will retire one after another.

The soldiers of the Ming army are treated very highly, becoming a soldier is the dream of the people under the Ming Dynasty, one person enlists in the army, the whole family does not worry, just with military salary, it is enough to feed a family, not to mention that if there is a war, the reward for military merits, if you are lucky, you are promoted to an officer, then it is considered to be an iron rice bowl.

But the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are not so easy to be. Because of the elite strategy implemented by the Ming Dynasty, recruitment, and selection of the best of the best, there are only so many places every year, and the competition is a bit fierce.

The old man must make room for the newcomer.

In doing so, Qin Feng was also based on several considerations. First, many of these veterans over 30 years old have not yet started a family, and staying in the army for a long time is also unfavorable for them personally.

Second, the old ones go out and the new ones come in, which ensures the stability of the people's structure under the rule of the people, and a large number of new recruits enlist in the army, and the cultivated land still needs to be cultivated.

Third, these retired soldiers, in the coming years, will become the basic plate of Qin Feng's rule over the Ming Dynasty. These people have been trained in the army for a long time, and their loyalty to Qin Feng can be said to be the purest group. After they return to their hometowns, with their qualifications and military merits, they will become the backbone of the countryside. This greatly strengthened his control over the people at the lowest level of the Ming Dynasty.

Fourth, because of the implementation of the elite strategy, Qin Feng can't afford to raise too many soldiers, but when the future Ming Dynasty begins to conquer the world, the soldiers needed will inevitably be massive. So he had to let these veterans retire and return to the countryside to support themselves, and let the recruits enlist in the army for training and encouragement. When the day comes, these veterans will be able to re-enlist in the army under an edict and regather their banners to fight.

Based on the above considerations, of course, Qin Feng can't be sloppy with these retired soldiers. Especially in this first batch, of course, Qin Feng has to be solemn, so that all the soldiers of the army can see that he, the emperor, attaches great importance to the soldiers and cares for the retired soldiers.

It's a face-saving project, it's a showmanship, but it's indispensable. Qin Feng, who grew up in the military camp, naturally knew that those who were soldiers valued honor more important than their lives.

After a pillar of incense, Qin Feng saw the big camp where the Kunwu Blue Wolf Camp was stationed.

The big camp is built outside Kunwu City, covering an area of thousands of acres, a blue brick wall isolates the military camp from the outside world, the towering watchtowers inside are lined up, the soldiers on duty can be faintly seen, the big Ming Sun and Moon Banner and the wolf camp The hideous wolf head flag flutters in the wind, a solemn atmosphere, it is extremely far away, and it can also make people daunting.

The wild dog and the commanders of the blue wolf camp stood outside the gate of the camp, ready to welcome the king. Today's wild dog, although he is the general of the Ming Central Theater, has not yet stepped down as the chief general of the blue wolf battalion. Of course, this is only a matter of time, as a great general, the wild dog will definitely not be able to lead this position.

"I've seen Your Majesty!" Hundreds of officers, under the leadership of wild dogs, beat their chests with their right hands and bowed to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng turned over and dismounted, and strode in front of the generals, "The generals don't need to be polite. Is everything ready? ”

The wild dog nodded: "Your Majesty, they are all ready, the three hundred soldiers who have retired from the Blue Wolf Battalion this time are already in operation and waiting for Your Majesty." ”

"Okay, go see these good sons of mine!" Qin Feng didn't say much, and strode inside.

In the huge school field, thousands of soldiers of the blue wolf battalion stood in a strict phalanx according to their belongings, and in front of them were three hundred soldiers who had retired this time, all of them were wearing big red flowers at this time, but they all cried like children.

This is the Blue Wolf Camp, and this is their home. But now, they're leaving.

This batch of retired soldiers is basically the first batch of veterans of the Blue Wolf Battalion. It is an old team that follows the wild dogs and follows Qin Feng to fight the world, and the feelings for the army can be imagined.

"See Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! Seeing Qin Feng appear in front of them, the three hundred retired soldiers whimpered and knelt down on one knee, they had already retired from the army, they were no longer soldiers, and they could no longer salute their commander.

"Brothers, stand up. There is no kneeling in the army. Qin Feng stood in front of everyone, his voice was low, and he said slowly: "You will always be my soldiers. ”

The three hundred soldiers were stunned for a while, but they immediately stood up excitedly, beat their chests with their right hands, and bowed in salute. Your Majesty is right, even if they have retired, but they will always be Your Majesty's soldiers, Your Majesty's soldiers.

"Brothers, today is a sad day, but it is also an exciting day, because 300 brothers will open a new chapter in their lives from today." Qin Feng's voice didn't sound loud, but it made the thousands of soldiers in the school yard hear it clearly.

"You have retired, but you are still my soldiers, let you go back today, I hope that after you go back, you will start a family, find a wife, give birth to dolls, and give birth to a lot of dolls to protect our Ming Dynasty." Qin Feng deliberately made his words more relaxed.

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, there was a sound of laughter on the school ground, which washed away the previous tragic atmosphere.

"Many of you, since the Yanshan Army, followed me to fight the world, and laid down our Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will not forget you, and your exploits will be firmly recorded on the monument of the Ming Dynasty." Qin Feng continued: "You have retired, but you are still my bravest soldiers, I hope that one day, when the Ming Dynasty needs you, you can still put on your armor, pick up your swords, and gather under the Sun and Moon Banner of the Ming Dynasty again, and gather under the Blue Wolf Battle Banner again, so I allow you to take away your armor and your swords, because these are not only your past glory, but also the basis for you to fight for the country again in the future and serve me." Brothers, would you like it? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Three hundred soldiers thrust their breastplates hard and roared in unison.

"You are my most loyal soldiers, even after retirement. I hope that when you go back, you will not forget this and stop living your own little life. You also have to remember that the Ming Dynasty is still watched by foreign enemies, so I hope that when you live your own life, don't forget to teach your skills to those children in your hometown, young and strong. Let them also have the ability to kill the enemy. ”

"By order of His Majesty."

"Don't worry about your livelihood when you return to your hometown." Qin Feng raised his voice: "In your hometown, the magistrate has already built a house for you, prepared livestock, farm tools, and fields, after you return to your hometown, you will also serve as the local village lieutenant, township lieutenant, no matter how difficult and poor the country is, I will not forget the good brother who once sacrificed his life and forgot to die for the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The soldiers roared loudly.

"Of course, the court has prepared everything for you, but there is one thing that you need to work, and that is to find a good wife. I can't help with this matter, but I believe that my good son of the Ming Dynasty can't find a good wife, don't you think? ”

He burst out laughing.

"Come on, serve the wine!" Qin Feng waved his hand in laughter.
