Chapter 1071: Army Soul
On this day, Shenlong Island was sunny and cloudless.
Located in the center of Shenlong Island, occupying a circle of hundreds of feet, on the colonel's field, rows of soldiers in bright armor set up a phalanx of 100,000 people, with a firm chest and a straight body, not moving at all, it was a hundred thousand Shenlong army gathered here.
A huge five-clawed golden dragon flag fluttered in the wind, and there were several people standing under it, including Murong Fu, Shi Lang, Wang Biao, etc., and Su Quan and the residents of the island watched from afar.
Murong Fu's gaze slowly swept over the 100,000 army, the army was neat, and the order was forbidden, I have to say that Shi Lang can train such an army in just two years, and he is indeed a talent for commanding troops.
Of course, if you want to make the Shenlong Army an invincible army of tigers and wolves, this alone is not enough, you also need to inject souls into them, an army without a soul, no matter how well trained it is, it is just a good-looking honor guard.
Once there is a military spirit, it can not only make this army loyal, but also greatly enhance their cohesion, and gradually temper into elite soldiers in a hundred battles.
Looking at the black head below, Murong Fu was arrogant, not to mention his previous life, it was the first time in this life to command an army of 100,000 people, just ask which man in the world does not have the dream of commanding the three armies and galloping on the battlefield.
However, he didn't speak first, but turned his head to look at Shi Lang.
Shi Lang immediately understood, immediately stepped forward, and said in a loud voice, "Fellow soldiers, today General Ben wants to introduce you to a person, standing next to me is Murong Fu of the Murong family of Gusu in Jiangnan, you may not have heard of this name, but General Ben wants to tell you that the rice and grain you have eaten, the armor you have worn, and the salary and silver you have received in the past two years are all provided by Murong Gongzi alone, and he is also the supreme commander of the Shenlong Army. ”
He didn't have the internal strength in his body, he said these two words with his own strength, and those who were close naturally heard clearly, but those who were far away couldn't hear clearly, and for a while, the soldiers below whispered, and after a while, there was a buzzing sound.
Murong Fu waited for Shi Lang's words to reach everyone's ears, and then he took a step forward, "Everyone,"
The voice was mixed with a strong and incomparable internal force, and it spread out mightily, and everyone immediately quieted down, all looking at Murong Fu curiously.
Murong Fu continued, "I know that some of you came to the island voluntarily to join the Divine Dragon Army, and some of you are not, but I want to ask, does anyone want to leave the Divine Dragon Army now?"
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers below were buzzing again, indeed, many of them were abducted and brought to the island to join the Shenlong Army, but after some understanding, they found that they ate well and dressed well on Shenlong Island, and there was a lot of money every month.
Shi Lang saw that these soldiers were messing around, and Dengjue couldn't hold his face, but he repeatedly emphasized in front of Murong Fu how the Shenlong Army was strict in military discipline and how to prohibit it, and now this situation was not a slap in the face, and he wanted to scold him, but Murong Fu obviously didn't care much about this, his hands were pressed weakly, and the soldiers below subconsciously quieted down.
Murong Fu opened his mouth and said, "For decades, the world has been in turmoil, the smoke has been everywhere, how many people have been displaced, and families have been destroyed, I, Murong Fu, have not hesitated to do everything to establish the Shenlong Army, one is to establish a heart for heaven and earth, two is to establish a life for the people, three is for the peace of the world, and four is for meritorious service, you ......."
Speaking of this, his momentum suddenly changed, his hair was flying, his clothes were fluttering, as if the gods had descended to earth, and a strange aura fluctuated slowly, "Are you willing to stir up the world with me, drive the Tartars captive outside, set the mountains and rivers inside, and sweep the world and the world?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a silence on the field, and then a burst of shouts sounded, "Willing!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
......
The sound was very small at first, and gradually became louder and louder, and finally it was a tsunami of mountains and a tsunami, and the sound shook the sky.
Murong Fu showed a satisfied smile on his face, and continued to encourage his internal strength and said, "Very good, I, Murong Fu, swear to heaven here, you will live up to me, I will live up to you, as long as you are loyal to me and fight bravely to kill the enemy, I will ensure that each of you will eat and drink spicy food, and in the future, you will open up the territory, worship the marquis, and have endless glory and wealth." ”
The soldiers in the audience were stunned for a moment, and then shouted in unison, "We are willing to follow General Murong, and we have no two hearts." ”
Murong Fu felt unspeakable excitement in his heart, felt that the blood was boiling all over his body, his brain was hot, and he said again, "The soldiers who are here today will be rewarded with five taels of silver each, one hundred taels for the rank of general, and eighty taels for generals, and then in descending order." ”
Hearing this, all the soldiers burst out into thunderous cheers again, and Shi Lang on the stage rarely showed a smile, only Su Quan's face outside the arena suddenly darkened, this little lover really doesn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are, where can I get so much silver on the island now.
After Murong Fu stepped down, he felt the strange emotions in 100,000 pairs of eyes, and he was quite complacent in his heart, and the problem of loyalty of the Divine Dragon Army was finally solved.
Why did he go so well, it turned out that when he spoke before, he had already urged the mind to the extreme, and with his current internal strength, it would not be a problem to cover the entire battle.
Of course, 100,000 people share it, and the effect of the heart-warming technique is naturally minimal, and he can only barely bury a seed deep in the hearts of all people, as for wanting this seed to take root and sprout, it still needs to see the follow-up watering and fertilization, to put it bluntly, it is brainwashing and benefits, and these things have to wait for him to return to Swallow Dock, and send another henchman to complete it.
In addition, the establishment of the Shenlong Army also needs to be re-improved, when the Shenlong Army was first established, but there were only thousands of people, they did not carefully consider this problem, and they still used the set of establishment that Shi Lang retained from the previous Ming Dynasty, but now the Shenlong Army has surged to 100,000 at once, and it is naturally not possible to use the original establishment.
Don't underestimate the establishment of an army, it can enable all armies and departments to better coordinate operations, close ties, improve combat effectiveness, and most importantly, prevent the army from mutiny, turmoil, and even things like "yellow robes".
Murong Fu pondered the issue of preparation carefully all the way, and when he returned to the Divine Dragon Palace, Su Quanxiang's soft body immediately got tired of it, leaned on his lap, and said with a rather resentful expression, "I haven't seen it yet, you are so generous, and you spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver with a casual sentence." ”
"Why did you say that, baby?" Murong Fu didn't know why.
"You," Su Quan glanced at him angrily, "Just now you rewarded those soldiers with five taels of silver each, not counting the generals, it is also 500,000 taels of silver." ”
Murong reacted when he reappeared, and pinched her pink face dotingly, "Sure enough, there is a way to run a family, and before I have passed the door, I want to save money for Xianggong, but this silver can't be saved, the Divine Dragon Army is the foundation of our life." ”
Su Quan naturally understood the reason, but still sighed faintly, "Alas, there is not so much silver in the treasury, see what you do this time." ”
"Don't have so much silver?" Murong Fu frowned, "This is impossible, there is so much silver allocated to Shenlong Island every month, plus the income from the Armory Workshop, and the large number of treasures I sent to people, how can there be not enough inventory." ”
A strange look flashed on Su Quan's face when he heard this, "You don't know?"
Murong Fu shook his head, and then a trace of anger appeared in his heart, could it be that the Murong family was also moth-eaten, and he dared to be greedy for the silver of the Ink Divine Dragon Island?
Su Quan saw that his expression didn't seem to be fake, so he explained to him.
It turns out that there are two main parts of Shenlong Island's economic sources, one part is the income from the purchase and sale of weapons by the Golden Snake Battalion, and the other part is the free supply of the world's buildings, of which the latter accounts for the main part, but the 100,000 army is not a small number after all, not to mention the armor and equipment, just the food eaten every day, it is a large sum of silver, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is like flowing water.
Recently, there have been a lot of opinions on this from the downstairs side of the world, after all, among all the forces under the command of the Murong family, which one is not self-sufficient, and can still make a lot of money, only Shenlong Island is a bottomless pit of dissatisfaction, Bao is not the same as that guy wanted to discuss this matter with Murong Fu several times, but he couldn't find anyone else, so he took the initiative to deduct part of the silver allocated to Shenlong Island every month, and the treasure he got from Prince Heshuobao last time was also cheeky and ignorant to him.
Murong Fu was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and finally smiled bitterly, he didn't blame Bao Wei for making his own opinions, after all, Shenlong Island is not all of the Murong family, Bao Wei is in charge of all the money and food of the Murong family, he has to have a bowl of water, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public, not to mention that Shenlong Island has a large army, and the Tianshu soldiers and horses are nearly 100,000, but he didn't give Bao Wei a penny.
Understanding the reason, Murong Fu's eyes flickered slightly, thinking that it was time to open up a way for Shenlong Island to come to silver, but he couldn't think of any good way for a while, although the armory workshop was beginning to take shape, but armored armaments could not be sold at will, and if he was not careful, he would become an enemy.
"Do you want to follow the old path of the Heavenly Pivot Army?" A thought suddenly popped into Murong Fu's heart, but he immediately shook his head again, the mercenary system is quite unfavorable to the reputation, it is enough to have the Heavenly Pivot Army, and it is quite inappropriate to make the Divine Dragon Army black.
At this moment, the disciples of the temple guard came to report, and Shi Lang asked to see him.
"Let him in. Murong Fu said a word, and Su Quan hurriedly jumped out of his arms, tidied up his appearance and stood aside.
After a while, Shi Lang entered the hall, and after saluting, he said with a little emotion, "Gongzi's methods are really extraordinary, and he will collect all the 100,000 troops in a few words, and the last general will admire." ”
He originally wanted to pat Murong Fu's ass when he said this, but others sounded a bit like complaining that Murong Fu had stolen his achievements.
Su Quan giggled, "General Shi, could it be that the strange boy stole your limelight?"
Shi Lang's heart jumped, and he hurriedly said, "Sect Master Su is serious, how dare Shi Lang have such an idea, the last general will think that the son is eloquent and clever, and he is a dragon and a phoenix among people." ”
Seeing that Su Quan was still waiting to say more, Murong Fu waved his hand, "Okay, okay, General Shi is not smiling, so don't tease him." ”
Then he looked at Shi Lang again, "What is General Shi looking for me?"
