Cheng Cheng, who was standing behind Zhao Jun, was shocked when he saw this scene. He couldn't believe that this group of troops, composed of a few personal guards, some old and weak soldiers, and people with unknown experiences, could create this scene.
But he was able to suppress the shock in his eyes very well, watching the scene before him with eyes and nose, but in his heart he had a higher evaluation of Prince Yun from Bianjing.
At least he's a guy who talks a lot and is good at inspiring people.
But the generals behind him widened their eyes when they saw that the soldiers who were originally like zombies under their command could show such a side, their mouths subconsciously opened slightly, and their faces were full of disbelief.
Zhao Jun tilted his head slightly to take in the performance of everyone behind him, and sneered in his heart. He was so shocked by such a small scene. He really couldn't believe how they led the army on weekdays, and they didn't even understand the simplest act of kindness.
As a superior, as long as you can let go of your own modesty and give these lower-level soldiers a little respect, it will be enough to make them grateful. There is no need to use any other means to oppress them.
Of course, if military law is violated, they must be punished strictly in accordance with military law to let them know the majesty of military law. With such a combination of kindness and power, coupled with a few small tricks, the army of this era is simply not easy to control.
But looking at the faces of these guys, it is obvious that the performance of these soldiers on weekdays makes them very dissatisfied. I am afraid they are not popular at all. They just rely on the power in their hands to pressure them to obey them.
Knowing the quality of these guys, Zhao Jun felt even more disdainful, but he did not show it.
Why should he remind his opponent when he is surrounded by pig teammates? Wouldn't it be just right to let his pig teammates lead him into the pit?
Focus your attention again on the group of "soldiers" below.
Clearing his throat, Zhao Jun said loudly: "Everyone must be very clear about the purpose of this king coming here today, which is to patrol the camp!
I have heard about it a long time ago. The officers and soldiers of our Yunzhou Army are all brave and good at fighting. Their military appearance and conduct are the best soldiers in the entire Song Dynasty!
When I saw him today, he lived up to his reputation!
In this way, the purpose of my visit today has been achieved. After seeing the military appearance of our Yunzhou Army, I believe that you have the ability and strength to protect Yunzhou County, protect the people of Yunzhou County, and protect me. .
So I give everyone a chance! "
Having said this, Zhao Jun paused for a moment, and after all eyes had gathered, he smiled and said to everyone:
"Today, I allow everyone to make some requests to me that can improve everyone's lives. As long as they are not too excessive, I will grant them. Or if anyone bullies you or has any grievances, you can also tell me. It’s up to you!
Don’t worry, I will do what I say. As long as what you say is true, no matter who he is!
This king will execute him on the spot! "
After hearing these words, the soldiers below looked at each other in shock, but no one made a sound.
Cheng Cheng, who was standing behind Zhao Jun, showed a sarcastic smile.
He thought what the prince meant when he said so many good things before, but he didn't expect that he had this idea, that he wanted someone to stand up and report them on the spot?
He was really naive, he had already made plans!
report? Hey, let’s see who dares!
The generals of the Yunzhou Army behind him, out of sight of Zhao Jun, stared at the soldiers below with a fierce look. The soldiers lowered their heads for a while and no one spoke.
"What? Are you all satisfied with your current life? No one bullies you, let alone any grievances?"
Zhao Jun asked as if he was determined not to give up.
However, all the soldiers just stood there silently, and no one made a sound.
"The king is here today and can make decisions for you. If the king leaves, you will never have a chance again. You must think clearly."
Zhao Jun continued.
Among the crowd, a skinny young man's body trembled. He was obviously only seventeen or eighteen years old, but his whole body was like a candle in the wind, and his hands were covered with various scars caused by workmanship.
After hearing what Zhao Jun said, his feet moved subconsciously, but soon a stooped old man next to him squeezed his arm tightly.
The young man looked up and saw that the old man was his father, Liu Laoshi.
Liu Laoshi looked at his son, held him firmly by the hand, shook his head slowly, and said in an almost inaudible voice: "Yaozi, don't go out, it's useless. In this world, officials protect each other, and you will die!"
"Dad, isn't that the prince? He said it himself."
The young man looked at his father and whispered.
Liu Laoshi sighed softly, his eyes full of the vicissitudes of time, as if he was recalling something, and responded in a low voice:
"So what, Prince? Do you think what he said will really help if you go out and report it first?
How do you know that these words are not the words of this prince? They were just words but you took them seriously. Afterwards, they walked away. How do you think you and our family will be dealt with?
When you were a child, you had Uncle Lin who loved you very much. Do you still remember it?
The inspector sent by Bianjing that year also said similar words to the prince today, and then your Uncle Lin took it seriously and stood up.
As a result, the official fooled the matter after the defense envoy whispered a few words in his ear. Soon after the patrol envoy left, your Uncle Lin's family was slaughtered by bandits at night, including your Uncle Lin's. Even the newborn baby was not spared!
Haha, gangster? This is a military camp. Yunzhou County has been at peace for a long time. Where are the bandits? They are probably not soldiers! "
His father's words made Qin Nian's originally excited heart instantly cool down. He knew that he was impulsive. Yes, just like what his father said, what if what he said was just for the occasion?
It would be fine for the prince to just pat his butt and leave afterward, but what about his own family?
That kind of consequence is something you cannot bear.
In the end, the young man gave up, clenched his fists, and stood obediently in the queue without making any movement.
Seeing this, Liu Laoshi was relieved and stood there silently.
When he was young, he had the same hope for the world as his son, but the cruel reality made him see clearly the darkness and cruelty of this world time and time again.
In this world, it's good to be alive.
…
Seeing that despite his repeated persuasion and assurance, no one below dared to speak, Zhao Jun knew that the darkness hidden in the Yunzhou Army was far deeper than he imagined.
He will no longer waste time in this regard.
Sighing, he continued: "Well, it seems that the officers and soldiers of our Yunzhou Army are living a good life. This is good. This is the blessing of the court and Yunzhou. I hope you can continue to work hard and continue to protect the country. I, Yunzhou, will do my part!"
After saying that, Zhao Jun walked straight down the general platform. Just when Cheng Cheng thought that Zhao Jun was about to leave, he was surprised to find that he walked towards the military formation and grabbed a stunned young man with a smile on his face. Asked:
"What is this soldier's surname?"
That young man was none other than the soldier Zhao Jun saw secretly picking his nose when he was passing by in front of the general stage.
At this moment, Liu Sanlai was so shocked that he was speechless!
This is the prince!
The royal family of the Song Dynasty, he actually held his hand! And asked for his name!
At this moment, he had the urge to tell him that his name was Liu San Lai, then hug the prince's thigh and use him as a bastard!
But when he saw the generals of the Yunzhou Army behind Zhao Jun who were glaring at him fiercely, he suddenly woke up and hurriedly replied with a trembling voice: "Back...back to the prince...little...little My surname is Zhang, my name is Zhang Dazhuang! He is a soldier of the Shield Squadron of the Second Squadron of the Second Capital Battalion of the Fourth Battalion!"
Liu Sanlai was stammering before he spoke, but when he introduced his identity later, he said it in one go as if he knew everything by heart.
Such anomalies immediately made Zhao Jun more sure of his guess. These people had probably been trained in advance. How could ordinary soldiers clearly remember which team they belonged to from the beginning of the camp? I know that my leader, his superiors, and the top leaders probably don't pay much attention to those in the middle.
If I hadn't been told this on purpose, who would have remembered it so clearly and said it so smoothly, it was almost like a made-up jingle.
Zhao Jun didn't say anything more, he just patted Liu Sanlai on the shoulder with a smile and said: "Zhang Dazhuang, right? Don't be nervous, I am not a scourge, there is nothing to be afraid of, I just want to see you guys who are protecting me at close range. They are just state soldiers.
After saying that, he went straight to the next person he had noticed before and asked his name. "
Before leaving, Zhao Jun had already had close contact with more than a dozen soldiers. Cheng Cheng and the others only thought that the prince wanted to express his closeness to the people and did not pay much attention to them.
Just after leaving Nanyun Campus, Zhao Jun suddenly said in the carriage: "Keep an eye on them!"
The carriage stopped instantly, and several high-pitched calls of goshawks were heard in the distance. Wang Huaien slowly drove the carriage towards Yunzhou City again...
…
