Chapter 375

This is the difference between generals and civil servants.

If you are a civil servant, even if you show great talent, it is difficult for the other party to sincerely convince you. Even if it is his compliment, it is particularly clear whether he will hate because of jealousy in private and do evil in secret.

Generals are different. The more able they are to recruit generals who are good at war, the more straightforward they are in character. Such people call themselves heroes and value them more. Once you meet someone better than yourself, you will not only be convinced, but also often feel sorry for each other. At this time, the only estrangement between the two sides is the difference in the masters they serve.

Now Ma Wei admires and respects Yang Chendong. When he hears the other party clearly say that he does not support prisoners as soldiers, of course, he wants to explain.

"Take prisoners as soldiers?" Guan Ying was surprised when he heard this. Obviously, this idea was never thought of by him. Naturally, he would be caught off guard.

"Yes, it can be said that they were captured as soldiers." seeing that both of them didn't understand, Yang Chendong opened his mouth and explained: "To tell you the truth, you two can't really put down the Yellow bandits with the strength we have. For nothing else, if the other party blindly retreats and defends the city, we can't give full play to our advantages with our strength. This time we won, but we won in one quick and one strange. But what if the other party is prepared?"

Yang Chendong, who looked at Guan Ying and Ma Wei, continued: "if we are prepared, the lack of troops will always be our weakness. They only need to fight a war of attrition with us. Even if we exchange ten people for one of our lives, I'm afraid we can't afford it."

There is no need for Yang Chendong to explain the weakness of too few troops. Guan Ying and Ma Wei can see clearly. But what can they do? All the troops in Guangdong have been transferred. Now there is really no surplus strength to fight a decisive battle with the Yellow bandits. On the contrary, the method proposed by Yang Chendong seems to be good. If they can really use it, they will expand their own reality Strength is a good way to better protect yourself.

However, there is no precedent in the Ming Dynasty to use crime prisoners as soldiers, which is really difficult for Guan Ying and Ma Wei.

Seeing that they just bowed their heads and said nothing, that is, they did not agree or object, Yang Chendong smiled: "Well, I don't embarrass you. I think you both know that I, the imperial envoy, have the power to use some battlefield resources. That is, these people were temporarily expropriated by me. I can write in detail in the war report in the future. All the blame should be borne by the imperial envoy. It has nothing to do with you. You can put your heart into your stomach."

As soon as Yang Chendong said this, Guan Ying and Ma Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the emperor's will did not clearly say that Yang Chendong could use all battlefield resources, he really didn't pay any silver for inviting mercenaries to participate in the war this time. Therefore, there was a rumor that it was to make up for his loyalty and courage. He did have the power to share battlefield resources. It was like punishing Jia and Han Qing.

Even though he has such power, captured soldiers are also regarded as a kind of battlefield resources. Of course, it is feasible for him to use captured soldiers as soldiers on this ground. Even if they have no right to object, they will have nothing to do with them in the future. How can they not breathe a sigh of relief?

"Even if the imperial envoy said so, do as you said. But the end general still reminds you that no matter how loyal and brave the captured soldiers are, they are always very loyal, and they need to be on guard at all times." Ma Wei said with concern. Just now he didn't express his opinion, even vaguely opposed it, and didn't know whether the imperial envoy would be angry with himself. Now he has the opportunity to flatter, he will not let go.

Ma Wei expressed his attitude. Guan Ying was unwilling to fall on the people. At the moment, he said, "General Ma said yes, and the end will also agree very much."

"OK." seeing that both of them expressed their attitude, Yang Chendong was relieved, "so the matter has been settled. The imperial envoy will leave some people to fill the army, but most of the captured soldiers will still be handed back to you, that is, arrange custody."

The matter was finally settled. Yang Chendong said goodbye to Guan Ying and Ma Wei, and called Luo Po, the head of Lengfeng's second regiment, LV Zhuo, the head of the auxiliary regiment, and Kong Jie and Song Zhe, the political commissars of the regiment. "The matter of captured soldiers has been discussed. You can choose the right person first. But remember, we must act according to the rules. If the problem is serious, we must not accept it, otherwise whoever has a problem will be held accountable."

I heard that the army could be expanded. Although there were only some captured soldiers, Luo Po and LV Zhuo were very happy. Just now they took the time to see that there were indeed some strong and good young men among the captured soldiers of the Yellow bandits. If they were enlightened and used for them, they must be good soldiers soon. As for who can take them, who We can't accept it. We already have a plan and a political commissar with the help of a group of battalion level instructors and company level instructors. It must not be a big problem.

That is, the problem was not big. Luo Po and the four men all agreed with excitement, and then began to select their available talents from the captured soldiers.

Luo Po and Yang Chendong are also assessing their soldiers. For example, Peng Yue is the first person he needs to assess.

In this war, Peng Yue made great contributions and killed Geng Jun, the head of the four heavenly kings among the Yellow bandits. Such military merit will not be ignored in any army, so Peng Yue was personally received by Yang Chendong.

"You are Peng Yue. I remember you had good feet before, and you did well in this war." in a quiet military tent at the edge of the battlefield, Yang Chendong saw Peng Yue half kneeling on the ground.

Called by Yang Chendong, Peng Yue was more or less excited. He had seen that his identity was not simple before, and now he was overjoyed to be praised by him. "Thank you for your praise. Everything should be done by Peng Yue."

"Hehe, you don't need to call me a leader. You can call me the sixth young master." looking at Sheng bujiao's friend Yue, Yang Chendong felt that this was a good seedling, and then said his identity with a smile.

"Six... Six young masters." suddenly, Yang Chendong claimed his name. Peng Yue was stunned at first, then his eyes stared greatly, and then his whole body seemed to be trembling. His knees softened and all knelt on the ground with a plop. "See... I've seen six young masters. I don't know your identity. I've been neglectful before. Please punish me."

No wonder Peng Yue is so excited. Who doesn't know the name of the sixth young master in the chixian city? Many people have even seen his real face. But Peng Yue didn't have the chance to see him because he entered the red inlaid city late, which has always been a pity in his heart.

Now he was finally able to see his true face. It was such a close distance, or it could almost be described as a separate interview. On such an occasion, how could he not be excited and how could he not put his knees on the ground.

"Hehe, get up." seeing Peng Yue's performance, Yang Chendong couldn't help laughing. This person's performance is enough to prove that he doesn't know his identity, but he can still have such excellent performance on the battlefield, which is enough to show that he is a hard-working man. Such a character is most suitable to join the cold front.

"Yes, thank you, sixth young master." when Peng Yue heard Yang Chendong's words, he immediately got up on the ground with joy, and then stood in front of Yang Chendong in a standard military posture.

"Yes, I have a good spirit. I have God in my eyes. I'm a good seedling. But do you know why I want to tell you the identity of my sixth young master?" Yang Chendong asked with a smile when he looked at the tall and straight friend Yue standing in front of him.

"This... I'm sorry my subordinates are stupid. I don't know." Peng Yue first thought hard, and then shook his head in distress.

"Ha ha." seeing Peng Yue's innocent appearance, Yang Chendong couldn't help laughing again. Then he looked at the tiger mang standing beside him and said, "tell him."

"Yes." Hu mang agreed, and then looked at Peng Yue, "remember, anyone who can say that he is the sixth young master is allowed to join Lengfeng. This is also the secret of Lengfeng. Do you know now that you have it?"

Friend Yue is not stupid. On the contrary, his mind reacts very quickly. Otherwise, he would not have dealt with those wild animals in the mountains for so many years without being damaged at all. Now I understand what Hu mang said, and I said excitedly, "thank you for the promotion and cultivation of the sixth young master. Peng Yue will perform well in the future battle and live up to the expectations of the sixth young master."

"Wait." Yang Chendong interrupted Peng Yue's gratitude in time, but shook his head and said: "I made the rules for joining Leng Feng at first. Even if there are rules, everyone must abide by them. Although you perform well and are recognized by my young master, you must have some examinations. As for the martial arts test, you have handed in satisfactory answers, but you just don't know your educational level? You know, as an elite Leng Feng One of the team members must be literate, and can write and recognize maps. What would you be like? "

Speaking of his education level, Peng Yue's face really flashed a look of embarrassment. Seeing this scene in Yang Chendong's eyes, he couldn't help being disappointed.

I have to admit that Peng Yue performed very well on the battlefield. He learned that the other party originally came from a hunter and only joined the auxiliary army for more than half a year. However, in line with the principle of using talents regardless of style, he still plans to give the other party an opportunity to make an exceptional assessment in advance. But if the other party really doesn't know one of the big words, he won't be able to enter the cold front, which is why One rule can't be broken by him. Otherwise, one will have two. I'm afraid it won't take long. Lengfeng will be the world of a group of martial people. Such a team may perform well at a time, but it's impossible to survive for a long time. An army without culture and knowledge is doomed to go far.
