In a sentence of later generations, those Zhuang men are at least much more malleable than these soldiers.

So Dong Ce brought them over just to let them act as logistics.

It seems that what Dong Ce said was so shocking that the generals of these various military forts didn't even think for a while that this incident would cause them a huge loss of benefits.

They were stunned and incredulous,

Finally, Bai Tianjin was the first to come back to his senses and shouted: "Lord Dong, no, these soldiers are all given to you, and there will be no one under our hands!" What are we going to do to defend the fort? What to use to resist the foreign thief? If Jiannu fights again and we lose the city, whose responsibility is it? Who's going to take care of it? ”

"That's right! That's the truth! ”

When everyone heard this, they all agreed.

Dong Ce glanced at him disdainfully, and said coldly: "Even if this official doesn't take these soldiers away, will you be able to defend the city?" ”

He snorted coldly: "It can be roughly seen from the situation when Jiannu entered the Kou last year, whether your city can be defended or not is not up to you, but to Jiannu!" If Jiannu wants to fight, he will definitely not be able to hold it, and he can't say that as soon as Jiannu fights over, before the city is attacked, some people will flee in the wilderness! And if Jiannu doesn't want to fight, maybe you can defend this military fort. ”

Dong Ce's words were very difficult to hear, and it could even be said that he was humiliating them, but when these generals from various military forts heard this, their faces were not angry, but shame and embarrassment.

Because what Dong Ce said is indeed the truth. When Jiannu entered the prison last year, many of them were indeed so unbearable, some fled without a fight, and some fled in despair. It's just that the wind rumors that Jiannu are coming, and they didn't even see the shadow of Jiannu, so they directly abandoned the city and fled, such a thing happened a lot in Datong Town last year, and among these people here, two or three did this kind of thing last year. At this time, when Dong Ce pointed it out, they were naturally embarrassed, and they felt ashamed for a while, but they had nothing to say. Dong Ce waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, this official won't talk this nonsense, it's boring." Your plans are clear to the officials, so let's stop talking in secret. What you think about is definitely not how you will defend the fort without these soldiers, but how you will be greedy for money without these soldiers...... Am I right or not? ”

As soon as these words came out, the lobby was quiet for a moment, and then, Xia Shoubei laughed dryly and snorted.

"Hahaha, the general is really in a word. As the saying goes, being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, which of us who came out to be officials didn't want to make more money? ”

Dong Ce nodded slightly, his eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and said in a deep voice: "What the official said is right, right?" Do you agree? ”

He swept his gaze to the face of a certain general, and then stared at him, until the general nodded, Dong Ce would look away and look at the next one. In this way, Dong Ce stared at everyone for a while, and he didn't give up until everyone nodded.

Dong Ce said in a deep voice: "Since you all agree with what I said, okay, then the official has a plan here, so I will tell you about it." Listen, see if it's appropriate or not, and if so, let's follow the rules. If it's not suitable......"

He stopped abruptly when he said this, and everyone looked at him expectantly, but they didn't expect it. Dong Ce bared his teeth, smiled at Senran, and said coldly: "If it's not suitable, you have to do it!" ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they were all a little deflated, Dong Ce's face suddenly changed again, and he laughed: "Okay, okay, this official is just a joke." Don't worry, you will definitely be satisfied with the conditions proposed by this official. ”

Although he said this, everyone knew in their hearts that Dong Ce was definitely not joking.

"That's what I think." Dong Ce looked at the people at the head of the group, and said in a deep voice: "Let's make an analogy, take Zhenqiang Fort as an example, Xia Garrison, the rated soldiers under your command, if the official remembers well, it should be up to 1,100 people, right?" ”

Xia Shoubei hurriedly said: "Yes, sir, you remember correctly, it is one thousand and ninety-eight." ”

"Okay."

Dong Ce continued: "Your Zhenqiang Fort was originally in the military department, and the number of troops in Datong Town was one thousand and ninety-eight, it was originally this number, you can rest assured, it will be this number in the future, this official will not report to his superiors, please dismiss the soldiers." The number of soldiers in Zhenqiang Fort is unchanged. The monthly salary is still the salary of 1,098 people. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all relieved.

"But what about ......," Dong Ce suddenly continued.

His 'but' was an obvious turn, and it suddenly lifted everyone's hearts.

Dong Ce smiled slightly and said, "But Xia Shoubei, the official can't help it, the food and salary that can reach you in the future is only five hundred." The rest will stay with the official. ”

Xia Shoubei opened his mouth, he was naturally extremely dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it too fiercely, so he had to smile bitterly and said, "Dare to ask your lord, why is this?" ”

"That's right! Why! ”

The other generals also shouted angrily.

"Why?"

Dong Ce sneered: "Why do you still have the face to ask?" Just because you don't know how to train the soldiers every day, you don't know how to advance, you only know how to deduct military salaries, poison soldiers, and you don't have any ability at all, so that none of the soldiers on the entire Beidong Road are decent! If it's really a thief, what can you do? What to fight with? Could it be that when the time comes, we will lose our teachers and lose our land, and we will all be beheaded by the imperial court? Do you want this to happen? ”

As he spoke, Dong Ce slapped the big case in front of him with hatred in his hand, and his voice was violent.

None of them expected him to explode so violently. They were all taken aback, but they couldn't say anything to refute it. It's still the same sentence, because what Dong Ce said is the truth.

Dong Ce wouldn't give them a chance to speak, and scolded them again: "This official is purely kind, and you still don't appreciate it?" This official, when you pull out this silver from your mouth, do you think this official is going to be greedy for ink himself? Fart! Let me tell you, this official is not a waste of flies like you, and he wants to use this silver to train a strong army! ”

"Let me tell you, Chongzhen's seven-year Jiannu entry into the Kou is not the first time, and it will definitely not be the last! Jiannu will definitely enter our Beidong Road again. When the time comes, if you don't expect this strong army under your official to resist, will it be difficult to rely on your group of wastes and the same waste soldiers under your command? ”

After saying this, there was silence in the lobby, and no one could speak. Everyone looked at Dong Ce, there was suspicion and shock in their eyes, but there was also admiration.
