Feeling the admiration of his men, a smile appeared on Ye Mingsheng's face. He pressed his hands, and the military camp, which was bustling with people a second ago, suddenly became silent.
Standing on the watchtower, under the gaze of the soldiers of the third battalion, Ye Mingsheng shouted loudly:
"This battle is not over yet. You still need to work harder to kill the Khitan bandits. As long as you have the heads of the Khitan people, I, Mr. Ye, will not hesitate to reward you. There are many unowned fertile fields in Fengzhou. It depends on whether brothers dare to Take it!”
Ye Mingsheng's promise made all the soldiers in the camp excited, and their eyes were filled with desire. In order to prevent a fish from spoiling a pot of soup and ruining military discipline, Ye Mingsheng, in addition to recruiting soldiers, In addition to the bandits from Guo Zhiping's tribe,
He is still very strict with the soldiers he recruits. He doesn't want a gangster, he recruits all of them, farmers and hunters with honest nature.
In feudal society, for these country children, nothing could drive them crazy more than land, making them fight bravely to kill the enemy regardless of their own safety...
"Kill the Khitans!"
"Swear loyalty to the Lord!"
The soldiers shouted again, louder than before, expressing their loyalty to Ye Mingsheng.
After saying a few more words, Ye Mingsheng ended his speech and brought the generals to his Chinese army tent.
"I wonder why your lord is so calm and composed. It turns out that you already have a plan in mind. What does it matter to those Khitan dogs when your lord is in charge of the Chinese army?" As soon as Liang Xuezhang entered the tent, he flattered Ye Mingsheng again.
"By the way, sir, you still don't know the name of that thing?"
In response to his inquiry, Ye Mingsheng smiled slightly and said lightly:
"The thing is called a grenade, but there are only a few of them, and they have all been used up!"
Ye Mingsheng's words immediately caused all the smiles on the faces of the generals in the tent to freeze...
Ye Mingsheng was not surprised by everyone's current expressions and continued to speak;
"The production of this grenade is extremely complicated. We spent a lot of money to hire craftsmen to make it. It took several months to make less than a hundred of them. All of them were thrown out just now!"
Hearing what Ye Mingsheng said, He Jingyun, Liang Xuezhang and others were stunned for a moment, and then their faces showed a look of understanding.
In their opinion, this thing called a grenade has completely subverted their previous understanding of firearms. It is easy to use and powerful. Such a thing should be worth a lot of money. If Ye Mingsheng can produce batch after batch of That's a weird thing!
From the corner of his eye, he looked at the facial expressions of He Jingyun and Liang Xuezhang, and the expression on Ye Mingsheng's face. Although the expression on Ye Mingsheng's face was calm and unchanged, there was a sneer in his heart.
The reason why he took out these grenades now instead of taking them out at the beginning to give the generals confidence was not just to deal with the Khitans...
Ye Mingsheng is also guarding against the so-called "own people!"
Liang Xuezhang was Chen Dechang's man. If Ye Mingsheng guessed correctly, he had orders from Chen Dechang. As for whether he was spying on him or if he had other plans, Ye Mingsheng didn't know.
What he can do now is to impose flexible restrictions on Liang Xuezhang as much as possible, not only to make full use of his abilities as he is now, to contribute to his career and to resist foreign enemies, but also to prevent him from becoming bigger in the Third Battalion and causing any trouble. Come.
As for He Jingyun, from the moment he received Chen Dechang's order and learned that He Jingyun became deputy commander-in-chief, Ye Mingsheng knew that Chen Dechang was starting to be wary of him, and He Jingyun was likely to be on the line with him, becoming a step for Chen Dechang to check and balance him. chess.
Although it was somewhat surprising that Chen Dechang and He Jingyun could get back together, Ye Mingsheng still ordered Huo San to start an investigation.
Sure enough, what he thought was right. Huo San got the evidence. Someone had seen Bai Renxuan disguised and secretly visited He Jingyun...
Regarding Bai Renxuan's repeated behavior, Ye Mingsheng could be said to be very angry at the time. He used a lot of restraint to prevent Huo San from sending people disguised as Jiangyang thieves to kill Bai Renxuan.
After learning about the secrets Chen Dechang had buried around him, He Jingyun and Liang Xuezhang, Ye Mingsheng became increasingly vigilant.
He knew very well that as long as he took out the grenade, Liang Xuezhang would definitely do everything possible to find out about the grenade, and then report the matter to Chen Dechang, and then Chen Dechang would definitely ask for it from him.
As Chen Dechang's general, Ye Mingsheng now needs the firearms, food, ordnance and other materials provided by Chen Dechang, as well as the banner of Zhenwu Army, so as long as Chen Dechang opens his mouth, he has no way to refuse Chen Dechang's request!
This is part of the reason why Ye Mingsheng has not played the hand grenade card that has been hidden for a long time until now, in order to reduce Liang Xuezhang's understanding of the grenade as much as possible, so that he can implement his next plan of changing Chen Dechang's civet cat for the prince. Second step plan.
As for the other part of the reason, it is also very simple!
Ye Mingsheng took such a big risk and stood here waiting for help, not just to repel the Khitans and ensure his own safety!
What he wanted was to completely annihilate Yeluyan's troops who boldly advanced. Even if he could not completely annihilate Yeluyan, he would still severely damage Yeluyan so that the Khitan people in the Songmo area would be afraid to plunder Fengzhou so unscrupulously!
The Khitans are always plundering like this, which will have a great impact on Ye Mingsheng's economic development plan for Fengzhou. With such a group of barbarians around at all times, threatening your safety, who can still concentrate on production?
Therefore, Ye Mingsheng must kill their majesty and use thousands of bloody heads to make them remember their lesson!
Ye Mingsheng knows very well that when dealing with this group of aliens who believe in power and strength, gentleness, courtesy, courtesy, wisdom and trust are of no use. Even if they sign a treaty, they may go back on it at any time and use the treaty to wipe their butts!
Only with strong strength will these aliens respect you, be wary of you, and dare not provoke you!
So this time Ye Mingsheng wanted to let the Khitans see hope, attract them firmly to the camp, and then wait for the reinforcements to arrive and surround him from all sides, wrap Yeluyan in a big dumpling, and then swallow it in one bite!
And if the grenades were taken out and used from the very beginning, what would happen if the Khitan army ran away without any hope?
Ye Mingsheng's plan was completely ruined soon?
Now Ye Mingsheng is very worried that Ye Luyan, who has suffered a heavy blow now, will run away early!
