The next day, when Zhao Dongting led the Feilong Army and Wudingtang to worship outside Gaozhou City, Zhang Hongwei, the one-eyed arrow stationed in Gaozhou, was waiting at the city gate with his subordinates.

If we say that the person who is most grateful to Zhao Dongting among the Southern Song generals is Yue Peng, then the one who follows closely should be Zhang Hongwei.

Zhang Hongwei was not as famous as Yue Peng and Su Quandang in the army, and his military achievements were far less prominent. He was able to become the commander of the Tianji Army because of Zhao Dongting's reputation. When he rescued Zhao Dongting with arrows in Benzhou, he was only named the commander of the Dragon Guard Left Fang Army in the personal guards.

Although it is a rare great achievement to save the saint, such achievements are obviously not well known to everyone in the army.

Yue Peng has been in the present, how many enemies have he killed? How many meritorious people have been made?

Originally, Zhang Hongwei was just a side general under Yue Peng's command, and he was not even the top five leaders in the guards' personal army. He naturally had much less contribution to fighting with the army.

However, when Zhao Dongting established the 15th Army of Tiangang, he still promoted Zhang Hongwei to the commander-in-chief of the Tianji Army.

Even Wen Tianxiang raised doubts at that time, believing that Zhang Hongwei was not as qualified as the commander-in-chief, both in terms of qualifications, military merits, and reputation.

Zhao Dongting said this, "Although Zhang Hongwei's military achievements are insufficient, his righteousness is rarely seen in his army."

Yes, what he liked was not Zhang Hongwei's archery skills, let alone military talent, but Zhang Hongwei's loyalty to the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Dongting still remembers Zhang Hongwei's performance in the army during the Battle of Benzhou. He was in the Leizhou army, just a mere little man, but he did not follow the trend. It can be said that the Leizhou army was disintegrated and many turned against each other, and Zhang Hongwei made great contributions.

It was his righteousness and actions that infected other soldiers.

He is an independent person.

Military talents can be learned, but this kind of loyalty and persistence in righteousness in my heart are valuable, especially in this era.

There were countless generals of the Southern Song Dynasty, but when the Yuan army invaded the territory, how many people surrendered?

In Zhao Dongting's view, instead of using generals with weak will, it is better to cultivate people like Zhang Hongwei.

This is also the reason why the newly built 15th Army commanders are not veterans. There are not many loyal and righteous veterans left in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Zhao Dongting looked down on those who just live.

Outside Gaozhou City, when Zhao Dongting's carriage arrived, Zhang Hongwei led the side general and his soldiers to kneel down on the ground and kowtow to greet him.

Zhao Dongting walked out of the chariot and asked them to get up, and his eyes swept across the soldiers in front of him and the head of Gaozhou city.

On the towering city walls, flags fluttered, and there were many soldiers standing with guns.

The spirit of these soldiers is probably not as good as Yue Peng's Tiankui Army, but it has also made Zhao Dongting quite satisfied.

They all held their heads and chests up, which is enough to show that they have the intention to fight. If Zhang Hongwei was a fool, the soldiers under his command would not have such spirit.

The general influences the soldiers, but it depends on the general, and it is enough to look at the soldiers under his command.

If the soldiers under his command are lazy, then the generals in the army are probably the same.

Zhao Dongting chuckled softly and said, "Tianji Army is good."

Zhang Hongwei looked slightly excited and said, "It's all set by the emperor's strict military discipline."

Although this sentence is suspected of flattering, Zhao Dongting can also see that Zhang Hongwei's words are expressed from the heart.

When Zhang Hongwei was promoted to commander of the Tianji Army, he could be said to have been airborne, and he just took away a few trusted people from the guards' personal army. The Tianji Army under his command was composed of surrendered soldiers from the former Ali Hague. In a short period of time, it is impossible for the surrendered soldiers to have such aura, which has nothing to do with military discipline.

The military disciplines of the Southern Song Dynasty were all decided by Zhao Dongting.

The military discipline he set was imitated by modern troops, and there was no law of beheading at any time, but it was also considered a kindness and power to be used.

These surrendered soldiers were originally the Song army. They first surrendered to Yuan Dynasty, and now they surrendered to Song Dynasty. They were originally anxious and even took the opportunity to cause chaos, but after the leaders were beheaded, they became more contented. Later, they saw that they were not discriminated against in the army and did not just do those dirty and tragic work, but treated the same as the other imperial guards, so they became more contented.

Nowadays, fighting with the army is just to make a living. The treatment in the Song army is better than in the Yuan army. Why not follow the Song army?

Although the Song Dynasty is at an absolute disadvantage now, these surrendered soldiers had experienced the power of the Song army at the time and had a lot of hope for the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly, his eyes were filled with smiles and everyone under Zhang Hongwei's command and walked into the city.

These partial generals were also surrendered, among which was the commander of the ten thousand men under Ali Hague. Seeing Zhao Dongting's eyes, they were all thinking.

Is the Emperor encouraging us? Or is he warning us?

Undoubtedly, Zhao Dongting's slightly smiling eyes just now were a little deep, which made them unable to understand the meaning.

Of course, this is mainly because Zhao Dongting is the emperor. If he were an ordinary person, who would pay attention to his eyes?

As Zhao Dongting entered the city, the people would appear more respectful.

The Flying Dragon Army, which had a neat army behind them, also made them feel a little anxious.

They all had black armored silver spears, and there were daggers and dragon guns hanging around their waists, with a proud look on their faces. They had never seen such elite soldiers in the Yuan army.

It can be said that the special forces specially created by Zhao Dongting is completely beyond the generals' understanding of the army.

Armies like the Feilong Army are products beyond this era.

Although Zhao Dongting said nothing, the Flying Dragon Army alone was enough to slightly intimidate these side generals.

Later, when they arrived at the Gaozhou Prefecture, all the generals sat down, Zhao Dongting even announced in public that he would leave Zhao Hu to lead 200 dragon soldiers and 200 grenade launchers to help defend the city.

This made Zhang Hongwei very happy.

Of course he knew the power of the grenade launcher. With two hundred grenade launchers, even if the army of 30,000 to 50,000 yuan to attack Gaozhou, he was not afraid.

The generals were also full of joy, but they didn't know what they thought in their hearts.

On that day and night, Zhao Dongting slept in the government office, but issued a secret order to Zhao Da.

Afterwards, ten flying dragon army teams formed by ten people quietly left the government office and went to the military camp in Gaozhou.

That night, the ten commanders and generals under Zhang Hongwei were unable to sleep peacefully.

When they were sleeping well, someone suddenly broke in quietly and compared their heads with a dagger. How could they sleep peacefully?

After the soldiers of the Flying Dragon Army succeeded, they showed their token, "The Emperor asked all the generals to be careful of the Yuan army assassins."

After saying this, regardless of the expressions of these generals, he left.

The generals were stunned.

The Emperor is asking us to be careful of the Yuan Army Assassins? Or can you take our lives at any time?

The methods of the Feilong Army soldiers also made them deeply afraid.

In this era, no army could have done such a "beheading" to the Feilong soldiers.

The next day.

Zhao Dongting and Xuan Zhang Hongwei and the generals went to the main hall of the government office to have a banquet, and the generals' faces were all strange.

Zhao Dongting smiled on his face and swept over them, saying, "When you are sleeping, don't relax and guard against it..."

Zhang Hongwei was confused, but the generals were blushing.

The emperor's face is really a fucking sound!

I think they were all generals in the army, but they were touched by the Feilong Army team and didn't even notice it. Where did they put their faces?

After Zhao Dongting said this, he buried his head in his meal and did not speak anymore.

That's all he can do for Zhang Hongwei. I believe that after these surrenders are hit like this, even if they really have the intention of surrendering the Yuan Dynasty again, they should have to consider whether they can leave alive, right?

After almost suffered a great loss on Benzhou Island, Zhao Dongting was really unable to rest assured of these surrendered generals and soldiers.

Even if we are recruiting these people now, we have special people to provide psychological counseling and "political awareness" counseling, but people's hearts are ultimately unpredictable!

When the generals left the hall with thoughtful thoughts, Zhang Hongwei couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, what you said..."

Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "Haha, I just asked the soldiers of the Feilong Army to see if the generals have good sleep last night."

Zhang Hongwei was stunned.

He is not stupid, of course he can hear what Zhao Dongting means.

Let the soldiers go and see if the general has slept well?

Why didn't he, the general, get news?

Obviously, the emperor is asking people to beat those lieutenant generals!

After coming back to his senses, Zhang Hongwei said bitterly: "Your Majesty, two of the ten partial generals are the confidants of the last general..."

"Well……"

Zhao Dongting was stunned, "This should be okay, right?"

He had just arrived in Gaozhou, and in fact he knew that Zhang Hongwei was the commander-in-chief, but he didn't know at all about the stubborn generals under Zhang Hongwei.

I don’t know how Zhang Hongwei’s two loyal generals felt at this moment.

Zhang Hongwei said: "I will wait until I can talk to them."

Zhao Dongting nodded, and a short while later, he left Gaozhou with the Feilong Army and the Wudingtang enshrinements and left for Xinyi.

On the road, Le Wugong sincerely sighed, "The Emperor beat the mountain and shocked the tiger last night, which was extremely wonderful."

He looked at Zhao Dongting with round eyes. He really didn't understand why the emperor was so worried about so much in his heart at such a young age.

Le put himself in his shoes, if he was me, he would probably not have thought of such a way to beat the generals?
