Things like this happen every day in Li Cong's army. Although ideological education is very important, the influence of financial interests will be more important. The army on earth is like this. If you are strong, the soldiers will have it in their hearts.

Centripetal force, but no matter how strong your centripetal force is, the soldiers still need to eat, so most of the time Li Cong thinks about how to use money to impress them. It seems like now, these soldiers also know that Li Cong is the imperial court

Even if they were powerful people, they would be given more money, and they would all be willing to stay here. In the end, the competition did not proceed because Li Cong gathered there urgently. It was already time to rest. Why?

There was an emergency gathering. The soldiers all looked at their commanders with questions. Their commanders replied that it was their bounden duty to obey orders.

"We have received reliable information that the city lord of Tianhong County in the northwest of the imperial capital has close contacts with the Southern Empire. Your troops immediately surround Tianhong County and find an opportunity to rush in and capture the city lord alive." The order was very simple, but they were immediately dumbfounded.

The city lord of this county does not matter, but this Tianhong County is the hometown of the Queen Mother. How could it be connected with the Southern Empire? But the order clearly said so, and the order was issued to the general. The rest

It depends on how these generals choose. Anyway, no matter who comes to ask, the general's camp will just say that obeying orders is the bounden duty of soldiers, and the rest of the things are not their business. Then Li Cong and several generals

I hid in the dark and watched their reactions. Such things would often happen in the armies of later generations, just to test their trust. But here... this is the first time that such a thing has happened. Many generals

They didn't know what to do. They just didn't move. They waited for the general to come and give the order in person. Li Cong had already said it before. Seeing his notes was his order. Obviously, these people's minds were all over the place.

I don't remember much.

"Report to the general. General Wu Hai has led his 37,000 soldiers out of the camp." Fifteen minutes later, which was a preparation time, Wu Hai had already led his own people out of the camp. He

After leaving, there was basically no movement in other camps, but a third of the camps had already started to prepare, and they were all wearing armor. They could leave immediately with just one order, which was pretty good.

Yes. After all, Li Congcai recruited him in less than half a month. It is impossible for him to be like Wu Hai.

In fact, no one else knew about this test, and Wu Hai himself didn't know it. This guy knew that Li Cong's order was definitely correct. He also told the two generals next to him, but they didn't think it was

Correct, how could the nephew of the Queen Mother betray the empire? This seems a bit unreasonable. The Uranala clan is just like the second royal family. How could they betray themselves? Although the relationship between His Majesty the Emperor and them has recently

There are signs of getting further and further away, but this is not the reason why they want to betray the empire. Their greatest power is still on the empire. If they have an affair with the Southern Empire, how can they establish such a system in the Southern Empire?

As for the power, these generals with ideas have already prepared a lot of rhetoric, and are ready to have a good talk with Li Cong when Li Cong appears. Is this matter being investigated? That is at this time

, Wu Hai dispatched with his army. It can be said that everyone knows about Wu Hai. They all know that Wu Hai followed Li Cong and followed closely to achieve today's achievements. So some of them also

They moved, but they did not dispatch, they just prepared for war.

Zhang Huazhao is a kid who is good at watching the limelight. He doesn't know how to feel about it. Anyway, he knows that this matter is not as simple as it seems. He should just follow Wu Hai. But now their generals don't say that they need to prepare.

There is no one to move at all. Their general Zhang Huazhao also knows this guy. It can be said that this guy can maintain the status. If it really faces a war, it is hard to say what will happen. Such a person commands tens of thousands of people. It is really powerful.

It's embarrassing, but where is his rank? Even if Li Cong forms a new army, he can't just take the position of general. This rank must be enough. Zhang Huazhao pinched himself hard.

The sword in his hand, if he didn't do it at this time, he might not have a chance. Wu Hai had already run out for more than an hour, and he might be there in another hour or so. In the new army these days, he

It can be seen that this new army is different from other armies whether it is defending the city or attacking. It is very possible for more than 30,000 people to capture a county. If they don't take action at this time, they may go there.

There is no more credit. This boy has started to act. Don't look at him as a corps commander. But this time Li Cong recruited so many noble children to come in. These noble children are very good at seeing things. Among them are

There are many discerning people like Zhang Huazhao. Isn't life just a gamble? A few people are winners, and most people are losers. Zhang Huazhao is now preparing to join the camp of the few, and the camp of the majority.

It was impossible to win, so he contacted a dozen small bosses who were similar to himself. Unfortunately, they only had less than a thousand people under their command. Even if these people went out, they might not be of any use.

"What...what are you doing? Don't you know this is my general's camp? What do you want to do? This is rebellion, which is a serious crime punishable by beheading." Zhang Huazhao did what he said, with a few usually good people.

The brothers kidnapped their general. An important reason for this success was that the general’s guard leader had a good relationship with Zhang Huazhao, and this guy named Zhou Tao also felt that what Zhang Huazhao said was right. The opportunity was so

In an instant, if I couldn't seize it, it would be impossible to encounter such an opportunity in the future.

"General, we are not kidnapping you today. You have seen what is going on outside. If we can catch you today, our whole battalion will be prosperous. If it is like you, here

Wait, look at our whole camp, millions of people are staying here. Let me tell you, this opportunity will only be given to a few people. Most people are mediocre people, and we are all

The most outstanding among people are naturally those few people. Just leave the affairs of the majority to them." Zhang Huazhao said to his general. In fact, he himself has the title of baron, which is higher than the guy in front of him.

Well, it's a pity that this title can't be used as food. If you want to mobilize this battalion, you can't do it just by relying on your bullshit title. You have to get this guy on board. But now

The general was so scared that he wet his pants.

"Nonsense, it's about the majority and the minority. If others are fine, we will be fine. I say you noble soldiers just don't know how to be more peaceful. If we go out, who will be responsible if something goes wrong? You can afford it.

Isn't it my responsibility?" The general said angrily. He also knew this. If something happened, it would be impossible. Tens of thousands of people in the entire battalion would be killed. At that time, only one person would lose his head.

That is, this guy's head. Speaking of which, they were gambling with someone else's head. Naturally, this person wouldn't agree to it, and they would lose money.

"How could it be so? You always know who Wu Hai is, right? It turns out that Wu Hai was a ruffian who was responsible for more than a thousand of his own troops. Now, he is the number one among you generals.

Now, the momentum of his subordinates, if you ask me, is like having a raging army and a den of raging animals. He won't follow this guy's nonsense." Zhang Huazhao knew that time was very urgent now, and he didn't have the time to tell this guy so many great truths.

.Go up and put a knife on the guy's neck, and the guy fainted. The people in the room were also brave, and they didn't feel at all what the consequences of their move might be. They brought it

The general's general put on the general's clothes and was about to start action. Everyone was extremely excited. That's it. Fifteen minutes later, they were the second army to rush out of the barracks.

They were stopped thirty miles outside the camp. It was Li Cong's guards who stopped them. They told them that the news just now was wrong. They rested here for one night and would return tomorrow.

It's time to go back. These guys all have their thumbs up in their hearts. Li Cong is indeed testing them, but they are all thanks to Zhang Huazhao. If it weren't for Zhang Huazhao, they wouldn't be so lucky to be here.

, Anyway, as Zhang Huazhao said, they are a minority in that group. Wu Hai over there seems to have known about such a thing, and there is not much joy at all. In fact, Wu Hai is not either.

I know, it was just that he heard such a thing when he was in Guangming City, so this guy would do things like that. Otherwise, he would not do such extraordinary things. Li Cong's arrangements are always profound.

Unpredictable.

This night was very confusing for them, but no soldiers came until dawn. Li Cong talked about this matter in front of the military camp. It was a pity that all the remaining people in the military camp were affected.

As a punishment, three meals became one meal. This training cannot be reduced at all. This is only for the soldiers. For the generals, they may be the most miserable. Dozens of generals have all been demoted one level.

, you have become a deputy general, but you are still responsible for the original things. Although you still take care of the original things, it is different from before. You used to be a general, but now you are just a deputy general. As long as you have a little problem.

You will be removed immediately, and there are many people eyeing the position of general. Many generals feel the instability under their butts.

There was also a great reward for Wu Hai's army who was the first to leave the camp. Wu Hai was promoted to the governor of the two battalions. In addition to the tens of thousands of people under his own command, tens of thousands of people from another battalion returned to Wu Hai's camp.

The whole camp was rewarded with a reward of 100,000 yuan. After Li Cong learned the reason for the incident, the second army decided not to punish or reward them. They obeyed their orders and left the camp. This should be rewarded, but they

Kidnapping one's own leader is absolutely not allowed in the army. Such people must be strictly controlled, but Li Cong has seen clearly the abilities of this boy Zhang Huazhao. This boy has very good abilities and is well organized.

He was also very capable. He made an exception and promoted this boy to the rank of captain, and he had 500 more soldiers. However, what made Zhang Huazhao depressed was that one of the lieutenants in charge of him was his old enemy, a grandson of Hua Mingxiong, and many people in the Hua family.

Those who have done well in the army will naturally have their people in Li Cong's new army. At first, Zhang Huazhao thought that he would not meet their people by chance. Now it seems that his luck is still there.

It's really not good. What he doesn't know is that this matter has nothing to do with his luck or anything. It's that Li Cong thinks that this guy is too courageous to do what he does. It would be better for someone to manage this guy. So Li Cong

He thought of the people of the Hua family. He would definitely not be so lawless when doing things under the hands of the Hua family.

It was already two days later when the old Zhang family knew the news. They also had mixed feelings. What they were happy about was that their son was indeed a good soldier. It had only been a short time since he entered and he had become a school captain. Before,

It's not like there were no such things. It's just that what happened to his playboy son is very suspicious. The other one is just like Zhang Huazhao thought. His boss is from the Hua family, which is not a good thing.

, these people remember very clearly what happened some time ago, and they will not let their sons go so much. If they are in other armies, maybe they can find some connections, but don't think about any connections here.

, Li Cong's new army seemed to be isolated from the outside world during the three-month training period. It was no problem to write letters and so on, but it had to be checked by someone. If you wanted to send something out, there was no way.

Half a month into the training, the name Zhang Huazhao came into Li Cong's sight again. This boy was indeed very capable of leading troops. He may not have shown these talents before, but this boy was actually among the cavalry.

They created a battle line attack method, that is, dozens of cavalry rushed over in a narrow place. Then they violently released their weapons. When they ran out of ammunition, they immediately retreated, and the ones behind them immediately took over. This

I've definitely never seen Li Cong's new army in Guangming City do things like this. It's impressive that he can think of these facts with his own brain. Li Cong's courage has promoted this guy to a partial general. This guy is now under his command

There are five thousand people, which is enough. Except for this boy, most of the other nobles are just making trouble, and doing serious things is useless.

The large-scale examination one month later made many people in the New Army feel very distressed. They thought they were already qualified soldiers here, but the ruthless scores still made them see the gap between themselves and those qualified soldiers. They

They all have to go home with their own bedrolls. Maybe some local armies still want them, but they have stayed in the new army for a long time, and they all understand the meaning of the army. They are a good army here, and they are a good army outside.

Among those armies, it is possible that his own ambitions will not be touched. Prince Gong just arrived at the army today. He came to see the training situation of the new army on behalf of the emperor. By the way, he will introduce the new army this month.

Although the imperial finances were somewhat unable to make ends meet, the money promised to the new army was still indispensable. The amount given to the new army was already small, so this amount was even more indispensable.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty the Emperor has ordered the suspension of entertainment in the palace for the next month in order to pay for your new army. Three million gold coins have been deducted from the inner treasury. Although it is not a lot, His Majesty the Emperor's heart is very

It can make people understand." Prince Gong said with a smile. Although this guy is an ally of Li Cong, there are still some things that should not be known to him. He also does not know that the emperor is being controlled. Based on his attitude toward Li Cong,

The emperor knew that even when the war started, this guy would not be willing to stop his entertainment. Most of the time, he was thinking about how to divert military funds to make his life more comfortable. Such things

It can be said that this is definitely the first time, and there are many voices of dissatisfaction in the harem. However, after the concubines favored by the two emperors were deposed, no one will speak out about this matter, and the ladies in the harem also regard it as

Li never thought of taking out some of his unused gorgeous things and donating them to the empire for the emperor to use for military expenses. This is probably what Hualong had in mind from the beginning. These imperial concubines are very

Rich people would be sorry for them if they don't fight against their wealthy people.

"I am not training the army for myself, but His Majesty the Emperor spends this money for his own benefit. If it were you, you would definitely be willing to pay this money." Li Cong said with a smile, if others saw it,

If Li Cong used this metaphor, he would definitely accuse him. Prince Gong's face was also a little unnatural. Li Cong's tone of speech was really too casual. If someone heard this, he would definitely be blamed. He would be blamed for it.

Compared to the emperor, how can he talk about such things casually, but there are only two of them here, so there is no need to care.

"Let's not talk about these things for now. I have formulated a strategy with my men. Your army will be able to arrive at the garrison in two months. This is the twenty-seven counties and cities around our garrison. I think the first step is

We must start from these twenty-seven counties and cities. If we capture these places, the plan to control the entire empire will have completed the first step, but there will be many difficulties. The forces in these places have

At that time, it was more difficult to deal with than the central forces." Prince Gong held some papers and said, Prince Gong is not only the Minister of Household Affairs, but also knows a lot about some military matters. Isn't this according to Li Cong's words?

Then a plan was formulated. Li Cong had just one idea at the beginning. What he wanted was to start with these three rapid response military camps and slowly start a new reshuffle of the entire empire, starting with easy things and then difficult ones. It was so powerful.

Don't plan for the moment. I don't have the ability. It's not a good thing to make too many enemies. But if you don't get those counties and cities that have no backing, you will be a bit sorry for yourself. These twenty-seven counties and cities

It shouldn't be one of those things that no one cares about, otherwise Prince Gong wouldn't have said that much more.

"This is the first time I have dealt with local forces. What does the prince think is our biggest difficulty in these twenty-seven counties and cities? I have seen the terrain. These places are indeed what we should win. If according to the county and city

In terms of quality, I think these places should be among the best counties." Li Cong looked at the information above and said, it would be strange if no one owns such a fertile place. Good thing.
