Not long after.
After hearing the news, Zhao Wei went to Zhao Tuo anxiously and said with disbelief: "Father, why is I on the list of veterans? I clearly didn't apply, and I was placed in Huai County? Is this What kind of crappy place?”
"I do not want to go!"
Listening to Zhao Wei's complaints, Zhao Tuo's expression remained as usual.
He calmly poured himself a cup of hot water and said in a deep voice: "It's not up to you whether you go or not. The transfer of non-commissioned officers this time is the sole responsibility of His Highness's Affairs Office. I have no authority to intervene. Even if I don't want you to go, , I can’t make the decision for you.”
"It's impossible to intercede for you."
"Father." Zhao Wei was a little anxious.
He didn't want to leave the military.
He is very clear about his abilities.
Once he left the military camp, without the protection of Zhao Tuo, he would be unable to move anywhere.
And where is Huai County?
That was a place where big crimes had just happened.
Moreover, Fusu had handled cases there before.
The local officials there may have been colluding with Fusu for a long time. How could he have ended up in the past?
Zhao Wei took a sip of warm water, which smoothed up his dry mouth. He looked at Zhao Wei coldly and scolded: "What did I tell you before? Don't be so irritable when things happen. It might not be a bad thing for you to stay away from Lingnan."
"As the commander-in-chief of the army, I can only respond to this incident. How can I act selfishly for you at this time?"
"Although Huai County is not as good as Yongcheng, it is still in Guanzhong, and the population is about to reach 10,000 households. If you work hard in Huai County and increase the population to 10,000 households, you will naturally be promoted to the county magistrate. , you may not be unable to enter the court in the future."
Zhao Wei's eyes were filled with disbelief.
Zhao Tuo looked at Zhao Wei with a deep look, sighed softly, and said: "This matter has been settled like this. There is no chance to change it, and you don't need to waste any more words. As the commander-in-chief of the army, if I am concerned about the matter of retirement, If you don’t agree, wouldn’t it make people even more dissatisfied if word spread?”
"When the soldiers' morale is shaken, won't they become sinners?"
Zhao Wei looked aggrieved and said unwillingly: "Father, I really don't want to go to Huai County. I just want to serve by my father's side. Moreover, I am a helpful general in the army. This time I did not apply for discharge. This is clearly his own fault." Advocate, do nothing wrong, father, you have every reason to refuse, and even go to His Highness to argue."
"This is your highness' fault."
Zhao Tuo glanced at Zhao Wei coldly and said in a cold voice: "Don't talk nonsense here. How did His Highness ever say that he would not touch General Bi? As for the application, His Highness made it very clear that day. It was only for For reference, you don’t really think it’s a basis. These things were clearly stated so clearly, but you didn’t listen at all.”
"And this time it's not for you."
"In addition to you, Tu Lan will also be transferred."
"Tu Lan has made far more military achievements in the army than you. He has taken the lead many times. If I intercede for you, do I also have to intercede for Tu Lan? Once this gap is opened, other generals will come to find me. Do I still have to intercede with others?"
"If this continues, won't the army be in chaos?"
"Since His Highness has decided on a specific roster, as generals of Great Qin, we can only comply with it."
"I was too indulgent to you in the past, and you were a little too willful!"
Zhao Tuo scolded Zhao Mei in a cold voice.
Zhao Wei felt aggrieved.
He had never cared about retiring from the army before, and he never thought that it would fall on him. When he heard the specific news, he was stunned.
"Go down."
"Take this time to organize yourself."
"We will go to Huai County in a few days."
Zhao Tuo settled the matter in one fell swoop.
Zhao Wei still wanted to struggle, but when he saw Zhao Tuo's cold eyes, he could only swallow it back.
When Zhao Mei walked away, Zhao Tuo's eyes were dark.
He clenched his fists tightly, but he was thinking in his heart whether he had been a little too upright back then. If he had really listened to Lu Jia and respected himself, perhaps what happened this time would not have happened at all, and even in Hu Hai's case After these words, you can spread some rumors, completely shake the general's heart, and then cut off the only way into Lingnan.
For a while.
Zhao Tuo thought a lot.
But soon, he calmed down.
Just think about these thoughts in your mind. If you really do this, I'm afraid that as soon as you say it, the generals below will have their heads taken away and presented to Xianyang. In the final analysis, his control over the army does not Not that high.
The army sergeants and soldiers were still full of respect for the First Emperor.
As long as the First Emperor is still there, the Nanhai army will not really let him do whatever he wants.
So he actually had no choice at all.
There is nothing I can do except swallow my anger and accept everything silently.
He was just a general who led troops for the First Emperor.
That's all.
Zhao Tuo sat on the table dejectedly.
He no longer wanted to struggle.
I really don’t know how to struggle.
The only thing he hopes for is that this matter can end as soon as possible, or that he can be transferred early, so that the big stone hanging in his heart can be completely dropped. After all, he has made a contribution to Da Qin. Although he has had some unrealistic thoughts, but After all, if he didn't actually do it, even if someone reported him, he wouldn't be able to find much.
It just arouses suspicion.
the other side.
When the list of non-commissioned officer transfers was completely announced, the Nanhai Navy camp was completely excited. A large number of soldiers gathered together to discuss the list. However, when they saw the names of Tu Lan and Zhao Wei, they couldn't help but be shocked. .
But apart from being surprised, he was even more convinced.
After all, even Zhao Tuo's son is on the roster, which is enough to prove the strength of the court this time.
at the same time.
Tu Lan, who was discussing with Yang Wengzi on the final elimination of the Baiyue people in Ouyue, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the news. He had never thought that he would be there.
For a while.
But he was a little at a loss.
Compared to Tu Lan's confusion, Yang Wengzi was quite pleased.
Since the death of his father Tu Sui in battle, Tu Lan has been holding back the fire of revenge in his heart. The originally cheerful young man has now become very gloomy. Yang Wengzi has always been worried about Tu Lan's situation, but the war in the South China Sea has not stopped. , it was not easy for him to persuade him. This time His Highness transferred Tu Lan away, which was actually a good thing for Tu Lan.
Staying away from the South China Sea might allow Tu Lan to come out.
Tu Lan looked troubled and said hesitantly: "As a general in the army, I should obey the orders. However, the third expedition against the Baiyue people is coming, and perhaps the last one. However, I cannot participate in such a war. I am really unwilling to do so."
Yang Wengzi said: "There is not much suspense about this war."
"Even the army will not be used too much. I know you are eager for revenge, but in the past two conquests, Baiyue has been defeated long ago. Only a few defeated soldiers are left to survive. There is no need for you to be so concerned. Since your father's war, After your death, your temperament changed drastically. This situation is actually not very good, and you should get out of it now."
"Yongcheng is a big county."
"It used to be my old capital of Great Qin."
"You have been favored by His Highness and appointed as the county magistrate. You should learn how to handle local political affairs in the future. Since King Shang's reform, many soldiers of Da Qin have become generals and prime ministers. If you can make achievements in the local area, you may not be unable to go further. Achieve more than your Father.”
"And this time, you must not be meddlesome."
"After all, you have a special status."
"He is the son of the former commander-in-chief and has a relatively unique position in the army. If you write a letter to object to this matter, His Highness will definitely consider it, but this will break the rules."
"No rules no standards."
"His Royal Highness has made it clear before that this job transfer is mandatory."
“Once it’s changed it’s just talk.”
"Both you and Zhao Wei can only set an example!"
"Never make a counterexample."
Tu Lan nodded.
He also gave up the idea of going to Fusu.
Since Tu Lan had been transferred and would not participate in the subsequent military affairs, Yang Wengzi did not let Tu Lan stay. Instead, he asked him to go back first and hand over the affairs of the general so that he could go to Yongcheng to take up his post as soon as possible.
When Tu Lan walked away, Yang Wengzi said with a smile: "Your Highness is indeed extraordinary."
"Taking advantage of Tu Lan's special status, Zhao Wei was also transferred. And judging from the roster above, many of the non-commissioned officers had direct or indirect contact with Zhao Tuo. Once all these non-commissioned officers are transferred, Zhao Tuo will be transferred. Tuo’s influence in the army will be greatly reduced.”
"in this way."
"The South China Sea army can also be completely stabilized."
"It's just that His Highness's growth is a bit too amazing."
"But that's a good thing."
"Judging from the current situation, His Highness seems to be dissatisfied with the court officials, but he thinks highly of the military sergeants. Most of my Yang family's descendants have entered the army for so many years. This move does not have much impact on my Yang family. The impact is even greater than the disadvantages.”
"Now that Zhao Tuo's wings have been pruned, it's time to focus on the final military. The imperial court has spent too much manpower, material and financial resources in the South China Sea. It's time to end this war that has lasted for many years. .”
Yang Wengzi recovered his mind.
He looked at the sheepskin map in front of him again.
Making final preparations before the war.
For the next war, Fusu had no intention of participating. Although he knew something about military affairs, he was not proficient in it. He would not intervene rashly. Moreover, before deciding to transfer military non-commissioned officers, he specifically sought out Li Xin asked whether it would affect the morale and combat effectiveness of the army, and finally received a positive answer from Li Xin.
Normally there is.
But the army sergeants have been fighting for many years, and they have a strong feeling of war weariness in their hearts.
The original passion for the war has long since disappeared.
Moreover, the imperial court has never made it clear whether it will let them go back in the end, so the morale of the army is generally low. Just because of the heavy losses before, the soldiers have more or less resentments in their hearts and need to vent them, so they are not too prepared for the third expedition. Many objections.
But the transfer of non-commissioned officers seems to have given the army a shot in the arm.
Let the soldiers see a hope.
Especially if some non-commissioned officers are arranged to leave in advance, this also means that there will be at least hundreds of new non-commissioned officers to take over, and these people will most likely be transferred out in the future. This will undoubtedly boost morale, and will soon As the Qin army was familiar with Lingnan, the Baiyue people had long been unable to withstand the Qin army's offensive. If these policies continued, they would only arouse the soldiers' desire to fight and their determination to perform meritorious deeds.
The morale of the military is greatly enhanced.
also.
Fighting can lead to military success.
Especially what Fusu said before, many of them are linked to the title.
If he can kill a lot of enemies in this military campaign, he may not be able to be promoted from a petty officer to a non-commissioned officer. Wouldn't it be possible to end his service period faster?
even so.
Fusu was still a little worried.
He even secretly told Li Xin that in order to ensure nothing went wrong, he should not care about the cost and would rather use a strong bow and a powerful weapon to shoot a few more rounds to ensure a complete victory in this military operation.
He didn't want anything unexpected to happen.
Even if it costs more.
No matter what.
Li Xin naturally listened to Fusu's suggestion.
However, the war has not yet begun, especially as a large number of non-commissioned officers have transferred and new non-commissioned officers have taken over. Since all the people of Great Qin are soldiers, almost all Qin people must serve in the army when they reach adulthood. The quality of the army is not low, and it will not take too long to get used to it. for a long time, so the war will eventually be delayed for a while.
Fortunately, the climate in Lingnan is hot and humid, unlike in the north where the climate will take a turn for the worse.
So the length of time doesn't matter too much.
at this time.
Lingling's county government office.
Fusu was holding "Han Feizi" and thinking about it.
After nearly a year of baptism, he had a deeper understanding of Han Feizi. Now he looked at Han Feizi again and had different feelings and understandings.
Fusu murmured: "Han Feizi is really a master."
"He sees the relationship between people too clearly."
"People benefit from each other!"
"Han Fei is right. Whether people are stupid or smart, they will make choices when making choices. There are only four words for making choices: seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."
"This is human nature."
"Wherever the benefits are, the people will return; where the reputation is, the soldiers will die!"
“The hustle and bustle of the world is all about profit coming and going.”
"Everyone in the world says that it is wrong for Yang Hu of Lu State to commit rebellion, but as long as the interests are great enough, who among all the ministers in the world will not become Yang Hu?"
"Human nature is inherently evil!"
"No one is not seeking profit, and no one is not calculating!"
"For example, Bole, everyone in the world says that thousand-mile horses always exist, but Bole does not always exist. But when Bole teaches people to read horses, if he hates the student, he teaches him how to recognize a thousand-mile horse. If he likes the student, he teaches him how to recognize an ordinary horse. Everyone in the world thinks that Bole Although a thousand-mile horse is rare in a hundred years, ordinary horses often appear."
"Is there no calculation in it?"
"Mr. Ji understood the truth very early."
"It has been explained a long time ago."
"And the same is true for you and your ministers."
"The monarch and his ministers have nothing to do with each other originally. They can cooperate because the monarch needs the intelligence of his ministers. The ministers are greedy for the monarch's rewards. Only in this way can they be together. But both the monarch and the ministers must remember that it is harmful to themselves. The minister will not do things that are beneficial to the country, and the king will not do things that are harmful to the country but beneficial to the ministers."
"Between the king and his ministers."
"All we have to do is settle our respective accounts."
"In this way, relationships can be established and consolidated. In the end, it all comes down to interests."
"This is it"
"The king uses his plans to harm his ministers, and the ministers use his plans to harm the king."
"The friendship between the king and his ministers is a plan!"
Fusu looked at it word by word, and the feelings in his heart kept accumulating.
