Facing Chen Shen's words, the expression on Bai Lang's face unconsciously turned away. There was neither the "confused" nor the "smiling and careful" expression just now.
"Sir, your words scare me. The location of the knife studio is given by the city lord. You can give more or less, whether you should be praised or killed. This is all the city lord has the final say. We bastards are just thinking about it. To obey orders is to never think too much about things you shouldn't think about.
And you just mentioned the killing of industrial parks, which is even more scary. The Yamen are still investigating the matter over there, but they don’t dare to pin the name on our knife shop. Firstly, it is too unfair, and secondly, I don’t have the courage or strength. "
Regarding the City Lord's Mansion, Bailang would not easily fall into the opponent's verbal trap. As for the killing of the industrial park, he was sure that the other party would have some inferences after these days, but there was absolutely no evidence. Moreover, it was impossible for the other party to be sure about his strength and the weapons hidden in the knife hall, so he was naturally suspicious. He will definitely not recognize it now.
When Chen Shen heard that Bai Lang was still talking to him about Che Luolun, he didn't get angry and continued to smile: "Bai Zuodao is very loyal to the City Lord's Mansion. But it's better to be more prepared for everything.
And the killing in the industrial park does not necessarily require any evidence from Bai Zuodao. The family's face is the most important thing, and the rest can be discussed. If those four families "misunderstood" Bai Zuodao like I did just now, they would not reason with Bai Zuodao and present evidence, and they would all be slapped with a thumbs down. And as long as the price of the exchange is appropriate, the City Lord's Mansion may not necessarily support Bai Zuodao. "
The previous words could be regarded as a test, and they were all made in a vague way. But this time Chen Shen's words were quite direct, and he almost had the words "Feng Mingyuan unreliable" carved on his forehead.
"Master Chen, your words will get Bai Lang into trouble. I have no enmity with you, so how can I let you bother me so much?"
"Don't get me wrong, Bai Zuodao. I'm not here to harm you. On the contrary, I want to point Bai Zuodao a better, more stable path that is more suitable for the current situation. So as not to end up unwillingly in the future. End."
"Oh? Mr. Chen actually has good intentions? Haha, then Bai Lang will be all ears."
Chen Shen felt confident when he saw the scale of advance and retreat shown in Bai Lang's words before and after. There is a loach in front of him, any talk of loyalty is a joke, and he is extremely cautious. If he wants to gain something today, he must first do something good.
Thinking of this, Chen Shen also put away the smile on his face, and then started talking about business.
"Bai Zuodao should also have received the news that the Pengshan Pass in the south was broken and the Yunyan Barbarians entered the pass, right? In fact, the Yunyan Barbarians have not immediately launched a northward offensive after breaking the pass, but are resting in the pass.
No one can say whether Pengshan City and the Tianfeng Plain, which are being armed, can be defended, for how long, or whether they can win. The only way is to build up momentum and strength as much as possible as a guarantee. response.
For example, the State Dynasty transferred all its main combat troops to the Tianfeng Plain and Pengshan City. There are not many garrisons left like our Yuzhong Zuojun. Even Yongchuan City would not be qualified to garrison if it had not recently built an industrial park that could produce ordnance and equipment at high yields and at the same time take advantage of convenient transportation. Defensive.
But in the final analysis, it is extremely difficult for the three thousand troops of the Zuo Army to defend such a large city like Yongchuan City.
Therefore, the Ministry of War Yamen in the capital opened an opening for the garrison below to cope with the dilemma of stretched troops.
This opening allows garrisons and garrisons in various places to recruit laborers on the spot to serve as auxiliary soldiers, and use all the soldiers in their hands for war killings. At the same time, if conditions permit and in special ordnance-producing areas such as Yongchuan City, a certain number of warriors who can assist and fight need to be recruited.
Regardless of whether they are auxiliary soldiers or those who can fight at the back, these people will be included in the military system. Both status and salary will follow the military lineage, and he is a real military person.
But now how much labor is left around Yongchuan City? I'm afraid Bai Zuodao knows this better than me, an outsider, right? Coupled with the recent construction of city walls and military camps, it has been squeezed out even more. This opening from the Ministry of War Yamen is also difficult to realize easily.
However, compared to the drained labor, fighting still relies on bloodshed. The people in the knife studio are much stronger than ordinary strong laborers at this point. Many masters are no worse than veterans in the military.
Are you interested in trying a different place? "
"Mr. Chen, this" Bai Lang was very surprised after hearing every word, and unconsciously leaned back on the chair behind him. There was an inexplicable feeling in my heart that I felt like I was falling asleep when I met the pillow. However, he hasn't found out the opponent's context yet, but it sounds like he wants to merge the knife studio into Zuojun.
Merging into the Zuo Army was something Bailang had never thought of before. It can be said that it coincides with his previous idea of taking advantage of the current troubled times to take advantage of Liu Jianyu's left army to get rid of the control of the city lord's palace. But again, this result is also full of uncertainty and danger. For example, if you join the army, when the other party wants to kill someone, you don't need to worry about the city lord's palace or pay attention to any rules. A simple military order can kill you.
"Bai Zuodao can rest assured. The military has always been kind and protective to our brothers. We will never let outsiders bully us. So there is no need to worry about the pressure from the City Lord's Mansion. Besides, this time he will continue to stay in Yongchuan City. It's not about marching south, it's just a change of identity, it won't have any impact on the swordsman and the swordsmanship."
"Master Chen, aren't these matters something that General Liu should come to a conclusion about directly by asking the city lord? Why would Master Chen come to the younger one first?"
"Haha, Baizuo Dao, I came here with sincerity. Isn't it kind of you to keep pushing the envelope and not talking to me? There are orders and strategies from above. It is the people who are recruited, not the swordsmanship, so if Baizuo Dao has the intention, Contrary to this, the person recruited is not the most suitable. For this reason, General Liu can give Bai Zuodao a position as deputy general of the side camp. In the army, many people, even as Qi practitioners, have to hang out for five or six years. You can only get it if you have connections to support it.”
Chen Shen offered another attractive benefit.
Military position! It’s still a formal official military position!
"Master Chen, how can Bai Lang be worthy of this treatment?" Bai Lang's eyes lit up and he seemed to be moved.
Chen Shen smiled and said: "Bai Zuodao is a master in the middle stage of the Qi Entrainment Realm, and he has a group of brothers who can fight. If he can serve under the general in the future, he will be qualified for the position of deputy general.
In addition, it is said that the industrial park was also built with the strategy of Bai Zuo Dao, so it is natural that Zuo Dao is responsible for taking care of the industrial park.
The only requirement is to obey the general's orders, follow the rules of the army, and never act haphazardly.
What do you say about Zuodao? "
