There were four hundred and twelve officers and men, and sixty-three horses.

This number is really not much, to be honest, the number of soldiers is less than the other military forts under the North East Road, and it may be similar to the kind of military forts with the least troops.

Probably because Huang Wan himself had a considerable number of troops stationed in Fort Victory, the army directly under Fort Victory was naturally squeezed.

"Cheng, the situation in Fort Victory, this official generally understands something."

Dong Ce asked again: "Zhao Siwen, this official asks you a question, how many soldiers are there that belong directly to Huang Wan?" Don't hide it, give this official a real number. ”

Zhao Siwen smiled bitterly, he really didn't want to answer this question, answering this question would offend people.

However, Dong Ce has already said this, and asked him, if he dares not to say it, it will really offend Dong Ce.

No way, don't say no!

Zhao Siwen smiled bitterly and said, "Excluding those family members of Lord Huang Wan, they are actually about five hundred people. ”

Dong Ce immediately asked again: "How is the equipment?" How's the drill? How is the food? How's your body? ”

Zhao Siwen shook his head and said, "No." It's just ......"

But he changed his words and said, "It's just that the subordinates can still fight." ”

When he said this, he looked quite confident, obviously not nonsense.

In fact, Dong Ce has long known about Fan Qinian's ability, and he has already inquired. He knew that Zhao Siwen was not lying, and said lightly: "Okay, I know." ”

He said in a deep voice: "Who is responsible for commanding the soldiers directly under Huang Wan?" Stand out! ”

A middle-aged officer stood up and arched his hand to Dong Ce and said, "The last general, Fan Qinian, is under the command of Lord Huang Wan, and is responsible for commanding those soldiers. ”

He is the one who came to the mansion to report to Huang Wan, and then left categorically.

He was still a little apprehensive at this time, because almost everyone in the entire Victory Fort knew that he was Huang Wan's confidant and favorite general, and Huang Wan pulled him up with one hand.

He didn't know if Dong Ce could tolerate him?

"Your name is Fan Qinian?" Dong Ce raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Yes, the last general is exact," Fan Qinian said in a deep voice.

"I know you."

Dong Ce smiled: "You are Huang Wan's henchman, right?" I've heard people say that. ”

As soon as Dong Ce's words came out, Fan Qinian's face turned even paler, and he said in a low voice: "Yes, that's right, the last will be promoted by Lord Huang to the end of the micro, so that we have today." ”

He sighed in his heart: "It's over, this time it will definitely end up like the gang that just left." No, even my fate will be worse than theirs, they were just expelled from the general yamen, but at least they haven't lost their positions, and theoretically they can still be re-elected if they have the opportunity. But I'm afraid that even they are not as good as them! This newly appointed general is ruthless, and he can't say that he will directly drive me home and cut me to the people, just like that Lord Huang Wanhuang. ”

"This official knows you, not only because you are Huang Wan's henchman, but also because I know that you have some ability."

Dong Ce said lightly: "I know what you're worried about now, and you're definitely worried that this official will deal with you." You can rest assured, as long as you do things honestly and follow orders, this official will not deal with you. You have some ability and can do some things, and there is a shortage of people like you under the command of this official, so settle down and do things honestly. As long as you do a good job, this official will not treat you badly, do you understand? ”

Dong Ce said in a deep voice at Fan Qinian.

Fan Qinian was ready to be dismissed, he thought that what he was waiting for would be Dong Ce's fate to him, but he didn't expect to hear such words that were diametrically opposite to what he expected.

This made him a little bit unrelievable, but it was only a moment to be stunned, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Thank you, my lord." What the adults say, the generals will know that they will do their best. ”

Dong Ce smiled slightly and said hello.

Dong Ce also intended to use him to show everyone his way of doing things, and also to send a signal to these people who had been Huang Wan's subordinates: "You see, not all Huang Wan's original subordinates will be cleared out, as long as you have the ability to do things, even if you were once Huang Wan's subordinate, I will be able to tolerate you, and under me, you can also be promoted and make a fortune, which is much better than under Huang Wan." ”

appeasing Fan Qinian is equivalent to appeasing the hundreds of soldiers under Fan Qinian's command, and it is also appeasing those old troops of Huang Wan who were a little nervous because of his arrival.

Dong Ce instructed Zhao Siwen and Fan Qinian: "Although the official came over today, it was mainly to make a handover with Huang Wan, and the official did not understand all the things on the Beidong Road, so he would not interfere indiscriminately, what should you do over there, everything is as usual, understand?" ”

The two said in unison: "The last general understands." ”

Dong Ce smiled faintly, then got up, and took them around the entire Fort of Victory, and turned around all the confidential places in Fort of Victory, including all the warehouses, and also made an inventory.

Anyway, those account books and files in the past have been burned by Huang Wan, and there is no need to look at those messy things anymore, Dong Ce directly ordered Ambassador Cang to take people to show all the things everywhere, and then re-register them.

The newly made account books are all in duplicate, one copy is placed here by Ambassador Cang, and one copy is held in Dong Ce's hand.

Dong Ce did this, and the meaning was very clear: "The you did before has nothing to do with me, after all, I didn't become the general of Beidong Road at that time, it was when Huang Wan was in office." But from now on, it can't be the same as it used to be. When the official took office, how many things were in the warehouse, the official now has a number in his heart, if any of you dare to do anything, the official will be able to know when the time comes, and then he will have to clean you up. ”

Everywhere he went, Dong Ce was able to make things clear with just a few words. Talking and laughing with everyone, what they say, they are all in one sentence, and their insights are unique and sharp.

Dong Ce's series of actions made the people in the Victory Fort secretly have a little admiration in their hearts, since this Dong Lord entered the Victory Castle, he has used a series of thunderous means, and he wants to clean up Huang Wan and rectify Huang Wan's old department, which is dazzling. In this process, he was also very ruthless, resolute, and decisive.

But Dong Ce's doing this is actually more of a fear than admiration.

But now, Dong Ce's proficiency in political affairs and military affairs, as well as a series of means to deal with these affairs, is very sophisticated, and he does not feel like a young magnate who has not reached the weak crown but like an official who has been up and down for decades.
