"Everyone has climbed up from ordinary people, and even a certain family's background is not aristocratic - since brothers have entrusted their lives and future to our hands, we must live up to this trust. You go down and think about it. .”
After Lu Wu finished speaking, he waved the palm of his right hand downwards and his five fingers downward, asking the generals to retreat.
The generals had no choice but to salute and exit the Chinese army's tent.
"It turns out that the general is not from a noble family?" After leaving the tent, Captain Zhu Xin asked in a low voice.
This was the first time he knew that this general was not from a noble family. No wonder all the military regulations and laws were set with the soldiers in mind.
In the past, Zhu Xin thought that this was a gesture made by the general in order to win over the troops as quickly as possible. Now that he said this, he was afraid that the general was really hot-blooded and truly regarded the soldiers as human beings.
"Our master is a businessman from the Kingdom of Wu, and the general is his fifth son. He has made great achievements a few days ago, and both the master and the general were named doctors." Lu Cheng said proudly when someone asked about this. .
"Why didn't the general become a doctor in the state of Wu, but came to the state of Chu?" Zhu Xin quickly asked again
"I heard it was - wuwuwu - Lu Zhong, what are you doing?" Lu Cheng broke away from Lu Zhong's hand covering his mouth and said angrily.
"It's okay, stop chewing the young master's tongue!" Lu Zhong was even angrier than him.
Both of them are third-generation sons of the Lu family - if they weren't truly trustworthy, why would Lu Jinhe send them out to find Lu Wu?
"Well, little brother, this matter is the fault of a certain family. This family has apologized to you two." Zhu Xin suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and apologized quickly.
To be promoted to captain, at the very least, he is a captain selected by the lower-level soldiers. Since Zhu Xin can be praised and selected by so many soldiers, leaving aside his martial arts, at least he has no problem as a person.
These two people are from the Lu Wu family and have different relationships with Lu Wu. If I turn around and say to Lu Wu: Captain Zhu Xin asked us about your origins.
Although the general may not take this matter to heart, he cannot be careless.
Even if he didn't say it, it would not be a good thing for Lu Cheng if the general knew that Lu Cheng had revealed the information to him.

The Chinese military tent.
The generals exited, and apart from Qiu Tong and others with different identities, there was only one man lingering in the tent.
"Jiang Chen, what's the matter with you?" Lu Wu asked.
Jiang Chen is the second grandson of Jiang Xingde and currently serves as the deputy captain of Lu Wu's soldiers.
"Report to the general," Jiang Chen saluted and said, "Five people from the personal camp were killed in this battle, three others were seriously injured, and 21 were slightly injured."
"Well, what's wrong?" Lu Wu asked, he didn't really care about these casualties.
Moreover, there were 700 casualties among the 5,000 troops and more than 400 soldiers in the personal barracks. The casualties at this point were not above the average.
The personal soldiers of other generals are all their confidants. As for Lu Wu's personal soldiers, except for a few sons of Lu family generals who are barely trustworthy, probably only Yingzheng Yulan of the personal soldiers' camp is trustworthy.
The others were either officers who were dismissed from the military by Lu Wu, or the second sons and grandsons sent by various large families in Nanhe Prefecture. Their main occupation was hostages, so being a soldier could only be regarded as a part-time job.
"I'm sorry to say that the general is unfair!" Jiang Chen gritted his teeth and said loudly.
"How to say?"
"We are all under the command of the general. We will not lag behind others when we charge into battle. We have no problem with the general treating his soldiers well, but the general should also treat us fairly." Jiang Chen also took the risk.
Among these dismissed officers, there are at least a hundred people who are related to the Jiang family. If others take a few more detours, they can also establish a relationship with the Jiang family.
The second sons sent by various wealthy families as hostages (basics are not worthy of being hostages, unless they are the eldest sons), most of them follow the Jiang family's lead, and that's it on weekdays. But this time there are so many casualties, if Jiang Chen doesn't speak out again, the Jiang family will Where to put your face?
"Fair? How can it be fair? Could it be that a certain family wants you to go back and be the commanders of the armies, and continue to drink the blood and eat the flesh of the soldiers?" Lu Wu sneered, and was about to continue, when suddenly something moved in his heart, and he changed the subject.
"But what you said is not unreasonable - since you sacrifice your life for a certain family, you should naturally be rewarded for your sacrifice."
"The military positions in all ministries are full, and I plan that any promotion in the military from now on must start from the ranks of soldiers and work their way up, completely changing the habit of some officers not treating soldiers as human beings - let them go back to lead the army That’s not possible, but I can make up for it in other ways,” Lu Wu said.
"I dare you to ask the general how you can compensate me?" Jiang Chen asked bravely.
Leaving aside those who died, the others in the personal barracks are still waiting for Jiang Chen to return with news.
"If someone dies fighting for Lu, if there is any blood left behind, that blood will be listed as the first heir!"
"Those who are seriously injured and disabled while fighting for Lu and have to retire have the same inheritance rights as the first heir!"
"Those who have served Lu for twenty years and retired upon expiration will also have the right to inherit half of their family's property - warriors who have fought in battles should be treated like this!"
"If each family is dissatisfied at that time, Lu's soldiers will go and reason with them."
"Another note: Soldiers who have no property in their families will also be given acres of land, gold and silver, and will be promoted to the same level of military rank."
"In terms of other money and property, starting from this war, the personal barracks have the same rights to share dividends as the soldiers and officers of the entire army."
Lu Wu thought for a moment and came up with one rule. After thinking for a moment again, he came up with another rule. After saying a total of five military rules, he asked Jiang Chen, "Vice Commander Jiang, do you think this is fair?"
After listening to Lu Wu's introduction of several new rules one by one, Jiang Chen's face was like a kaleidoscope, turning red, green, and white again.
His mouth opened and closed slightly, like a fish out of water, but he couldn't speak for a while.
"Since there are no objections, a certain family will announce the military regulations to the entire army tomorrow - that's it, you can go down."
Jiang Chen had no choice but to salute and exit the Chinese army's tent backwards.
While retreating step by step, Jiang Chen felt a cold feeling in his heart.
If the major families in Nanhe Mansion knew that they were responsible for this matter, they would probably die without a burial place.
What did someone in the Jiang family say at that time?
It is said that General Lu Wu is just a reckless man, and it is just a coincidence that he turned against the guest and took control of the Nanhe Prefecture army this time.
As for expelling the original officers?
That was an impulsive and impulsive decision made by a young man - losing these key officers in the army is like losing bones in the human body, which will inevitably greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of Nanhe Prefecture's army. When he suffers a defeat, he will have to Invite these people out again.
It now seems that the loss of a large number of officers has indeed reduced the internal coordination ability of the army, but the morale of the military has become high, which is more than enough to make up for this loss of combat power.
What's more, as soon as these five catch-all rules come out, every big family will contradict itself.
As long as it can be implemented, within three years, there will be no voice in the entire Nanhe Prefecture that can compete with the general.
