There is no leader in everything.

On weekdays, soldiers obey the orders of officers and generals, but they dare not speak out, not that they really believe it.

Now Gao Quan said passionately, which made the soldiers' anger aroused.

They thought about it carefully and felt that they were living a cowardly life.

Since they are all humans, why are they bullied and insulted?

Gao Quan raised his arms and shouted, and the rest of the soldiers responded. For a moment, the crowd was in high spirits.

Soldier mutiny has always been a taboo in the army.

Especially a rebel who had just started a business and was in a state of unstable momentum.

People follow the crowd. Once someone gathers to cause trouble, it will definitely attract more people to join.

Anyway, the law does not punish the masses. Even if the mutiny is really quelled, the officers will not be able to deal with all the mutiny soldiers.

It is precisely with this mentality that more and more soldiers joined the ranks of troublemakers, and the momentum became increasingly severe, even alarming King Gui.

King Gui Zhu Youlang was drinking tea in the palace in Guangzhou City at this moment. When he heard the news of the army's mutiny, he sprayed a mouthful of tea directly.

He couldn't understand why this army was mutiny?

He hurriedly called Ding Kuichu and Qu Shixi to discuss countermeasures together.

Ding Kuichu was also surprised when he heard the news. He thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, the most urgent task now is to stabilize the morale of the army. Don't let the situation worsen."

Of course he understood this principle, but the question was what to do.

Ding Kuichu said it for a long time but didn't say anything, which was really disappointing.

"How to stabilize the morale of the army?"

Zhu Youlang asked straight to the point.

"Your Highness, in the opinion of my minister, I can only reward you without hesitation."

Ding Kui and Chu Yu's method was very direct, that is, to win over with profit.

Don't care what the other party is doing, as long as you can do things for him.

You can imagine the loyalty of subordinates cultivated in this way. They are the mother who has milk. The reason they serve Ding Kuichu is because the treatment provided by Ding Kuichu is pretty good.

If someone offers more favorable treatment than Ding Kuichu, it is unknown if the flag will be changed immediately.

Zhu Youlang was not very satisfied with this answer, so he naturally turned to Qu Shisi.

This is his confidant official. Who else can he go to if he doesn’t ask him for advice?

"What do you think about Mr. Qu?"

Qu Shisi was named by Zhu Youlang, so he bowed and said respectfully: "Report to your highness, it is better to suppress the mutiny immediately, and execute all those who make trouble, and then the mutiny will be stopped."

"oh?"

Zhu Youlang was a little interested.

Ding Kuichu and Qu Shixi, one is the main force and the other is the main force, which is completely different strategies.

Zhu Youlang himself prefers Qu Shisi.

First of all, it is because Zhu Youlang is mean and rude by nature, and believes that it is natural for the people below to serve him. Mutiny must not be allowed and must be severely punished.

Secondly, he didn't think that rewarding and appeaseing mutiny soldiers would have great results.

Can you comfort me for a while, can you make them willing to work hard for you?

This time you reward them with ten taels of silver. Will you give them back to them next time they ask for one hundred taels?

The human heart is not enough and the snake swallows the elephant, and greed is endless.

It’s better to kill someone to establish his authority.

But he had to give Ding Kuichu face.

After all, he is now in Ding Kuichu's lair, and Ding Kuichu's army accounts for the majority.

"Ahem, whether it is rewarding and comforting or killing people to establish authority, it is just a means after all."

He paused and then continued: "Everything is done, and if it is not done, it will be ruined. Although this matter seems accidental, it is actually an outbreak after accumulating for a long time. I think it should be solved from the root."

Ding Kuichu sighed secretly in his heart. The prince said so much, but he didn't say anything.

"What should I do with the prince's high opinion?"

“Give them a promise.”

Zhu Youlang said loudly: "The soldiers' mutiny was nothing more than feeling that they could not see hope. I gave them hope."

"How can the prince give them hope?"

"This is simple. After I promise to obtain the world and ascend to the great treasure in the future, I will upgrade everyone to three levels in a row."

Zhu Youlang said proudly.

Hearing this, Ding Kuichu almost burst out laughing.

He thought it was a brilliant idea, but it turned out to be just a bad idea.

Upgrading three levels in a row? It sounds beautiful, but in fact it's just a pie to draw a pie.

How many people have brought rebellion in history and how many have succeeded in the end?

King Gui just raised his troops and made such a promise before he could even make a pie. What is it?

It would be fine if he painted cakes for people like him or Qu Shishi. But King Gui planned to paint cakes for ordinary soldiers.

These soldiers mutiny because they felt that they were unfairly treated. What's the use of not comforting them?

"The prince is so bad."

Ding Kuichu said mercilessly: "The prince's promise is very good, but it can only be fulfilled after he has won the world. What the soldiers are concerned about is the current affairs. If they cannot satisfy them, there will be no more."

He said something ugly but it was very reasonable. Even Qu Shixi said: "Your Highness, it is indeed not advisable to just make promises."

Both ministers opposed it, and Zhu Youlang could not hold on his face.

He cleared his throat and said, "I just said that. Since you two think it's inappropriate, then forget it."

"So what kind of advice should the prince decide to adopt? Reward or suppression?"

Ding Kuichu asked immediately.

Zhu Youlang only felt a headache.

This problem was thrown before him again.

"Let me think about it."

He knocked his fingers and thought intently.

He neither wanted to offend Ding Kuichu nor wanted Qu Shixi, who firmly supported him, to be disappointed. This decision was really hard to make.

After a long time, Zhu Youlang said slowly: "It would be better to kill the chief evil, and not investigate the accomplices. Each person will be rewarded with another five taels of silver to comfort him."

Ding Kuichu and Qu Shixi were both stunned after hearing this.

Isn’t this just kneading the suggestions they made together?

Your Highness King Gui is really good at mixing with him.

"Your Highness is wise, this plan should be the best solution now."

Qu Shixi still needs to maintain Zhu Youlang's authority. He took the lead in exclaiming: "After this plan, it will inevitably divide the soldiers and cause internal strife."

Seeing this, Ding Kuichu knew that he was not suitable to argue again, so he nodded and said, "Your Highness is a clever plan."

When Zhu Youlang saw that Ding Kuichu and Qu Shixi agreed, he was happy and said, "Since that's the case, then do it this way. The two armies are particularly critical to confront the morale of the army. If anyone takes the lead in causing trouble and disrupting the morale of our army, kill it!"

After he said that, he suddenly remembered something again, and swallowed, "I wonder how Zheng Zhilong is doing."

Originally, they discussed sending troops at the same time, but there must be a sequence of specific battles.

If Zheng Zhilong could put pressure on the court army from the east battlefield, the pressure on the coalition forces in the west would be much smaller.
