"Okay, go and wake up Hong Jin." Yang Chendong said casually, then turned around and sat back on the big chair.In front of Humang, he could act casually, but in front of a surrendered general like Hong Jin, he still had to maintain the majesty he should have.
What is a superior.Not only do you have your own aura, but you also need to learn various methods, and even use various environments to enhance your aura.Once it is done well, it will put great psychological pressure on the subordinates. When issuing any order, naturally there will be no second voice.
Not long after Yang Chendong took his seat, Hong Jin had already walked in under the guidance of Humang.
As soon as he entered the room, Hong Jin knelt down on his knees, without daring to lift his head, and said in a very respectful voice, "My subordinate Hong Jin has seen Duke Zhongdan."
As a surrendered general, Hong Jin was able to clearly understand his identity, not to mention in front of Yang Chendong, even in front of some ordinary mercenary officers, he was very respectful.Therefore, for such a long time, no one really made it difficult for him.
Originally, under the leadership and teaching of Yang Chendong, the mercenaries paid great attention to the equality of officers and soldiers.Even soldiers who are pro-enlisted, as long as they are not too rampant, no one will look for trouble.With a better attitude like Hong Jin, it's even more shameless to say that anyone insists on making life difficult for him.
"En." Seeing Hong Jin kneeling in front of him so respectfully, Yang Chendong nodded his head like a jaw, and then said casually: "The errand was done well."
Hearing the praise, Hong Jin, who was kneeling there, was happy in his heart, but he still said very cautiously: "It's all taught by Mr. Zhongdan."
"Okay, you don't need to be called Mr. Zhongdan, you are my man, so you can call me Sixth Young Master from now on." Yang Chendong slowly sat up straight as he said these words.
The change in address meant that he had been initially accepted by Yang Chendong. The overjoyed Hong Jin knocked his head on the ground and said, "Yes, Master Six."
Yang Chendong could understand Hong Jin's trembling voice.After all, although the Hong family has some influence, it is really far behind those big families like Ruan, Chen, Li, Fan, Huang, and Pan.It can be said that Hong Jin at this time is very eager to be understood and recognized by others.
Yang Chendong, who has fully understood these, now wants to give the other party such a chance to stand out. "Hong Jin, have you ever thought about putting aside what you are doing and doing something else?"
The task at hand is to resettle the Han people who came from all over Jiaozhi.Although this job looks inconspicuous, most of the Han people who came here had dull eyes, and many of them didn't even know why they came here, and they were forced to come here by the Cochin Army.Such a person will not be able to talk about gratitude and excitement.
Even so, Hong Jin really enjoys doing these things. In his opinion, some things will not have any effect if he does not do them at first, but as time goes on, as long as he is really good to these Han people, they will Someone will remember me eventually.It is uncertain when one or two of these people will become prominent, and if they are willing to turn around and take care of him at that time, that will be the greatest reward.
It was precisely because of such thoughts in his heart that when he suddenly heard Yang Chendong say that he should not let him take care of this matter, panic appeared on his face.He didn't know if he did something wrong, or if what he did made Yang Chendong dissatisfied.So the first reaction was to knock your head on the ground again, and then keep explaining: "Sixth young master, the villain is rude in doing things. If there is something that doesn't suit you, please don't remember the villain's fault. correct."
"Wrong? Why are you wrong?" Even though Yang Chendong was very smart, he was a little at a loss by Hong Jin's actions at this moment.
"Ah?" Hearing that Yang Chendong's words did not imply any blame, Hong Jin raised his head slowly with a puzzled expression.
Just as Hong Jin raised his head, Yang Chendong's voice came out, "My young master wants to give you a chance, a chance to stand out, a chance to carry forward your Hong family. How about this, you organize an army, you To be a general, the number of people should be around [-]. Apart from the advanced muskets, I will also provide you with all the other weapons you need, how about it?"
When Yang Chendong hadn't finished speaking, there was already a heavy bang bang on the ground. Looking carefully, it was the sound of Hong Jin kneeling and kowtowing.
In just a few strokes, blood was already overflowing from his forehead. "Thank you, Master Six, and don't say anything else. Your kindness, Hong Jin, has been recorded. In the future, if you say go east, I will definitely not go west. The Hong family will only follow Master Six for the rest of their lives."
No wonder Hong Jin was so excited.I think he has worked very hard since he was a child, so he has the opportunity to become a partial general beside Ruan Gengwang, and has the opportunity to lead the army alone.Although in the end when facing the mercenaries, it failed.But isn't what he did just to make Hong's family proud?
Now seeing that the Cochin Army, which is usually very powerful, is so vulnerable when facing mercenaries.If it is not done well, catastrophe will be imminent for Cochin. At this time, whether the Hong family can survive is another matter.But at this time, Yang Chendong did allow him to form his own army. Such a strong contrast is equivalent to a poor person who can't afford food. When he was begging for food, he suddenly found a 1000 million check in the bowl. , where will not be excited, will not be full of gratitude.
Hong Jin knelt there, with tears on his face in gratitude, and then he kept swearing and swearing. All this looked in Yang Chendong's eyes, and he was not moved by it.
Does he really want to pity anyone?Because when I thought that if it wasn't for my appearance, the dignified Han people would have been slaves to that small nation of Jiannu for hundreds of years, I couldn't get angry.Did anyone feel sorry for the Han people at that time?
The answer is of course no.In this world, it is still sad to want to live on the pity of others.The most important thing is to have your own strength.
Only when you have enough strength can you gain the recognition and sincere respect of others.Everything else is just floating clouds.
As for what Hong Jin said, it may be true now.But once the day when he really gets a high position, once the strength of the mercenaries can't affect him, who knows what he will do?
Rather than placing your hopes on others, it is better to set strict rules from the beginning.In this way, if you have the law to consult, you will not be afraid of what other people will do.
"Okay, don't knock yourself out anymore. Your body is yours. Why should I use you? If you get injured and can't lead the army because of this, then you have to consider a replacement."
As soon as Yang Chendong said these words, Hong Jin knelt there honestly, obviously he was really afraid that Yang Chendong would change people.In that case, all the hard work and performance during this period will be in vain.
Seeing that Hong Jin's breathing has stabilized, he is not so excited anymore.Yang Chendong's voice sounded again, "My young master can allow you to lead your own army, but you have to make an agreement three chapters in advance. If you can do it, this job will be yours. If you can't, you don't need to force it. You will be punished for this. But if you promise to fail, then you will not even have a chance to be free, understand?"
"Understood, I understand, young master Six, just do what you order." At this moment, Hong Jin didn't have the strength to bargain.He has already made up his mind, no matter how harsh Yang Chendong's next conditions are, he will agree to them all.No matter how high the requirements are, it is better than not knowing what will happen tomorrow.
Seeing that Hong Jin agreed so happily, Yang Chendong didn't doubt the other party's sincerity at all.After all, if I were to change from the opponent's point of view, I'm afraid I would not be able to refuse the opportunity to lead the army alone. "Then listen carefully. First, 3 troops is a limit. No matter what happens in the future, unless there is an order for you, otherwise, the number of troops must not exceed this number. Once discovered, you He will be dismissed and investigated.”
"Secondly, these 3 people must unconditionally obey the arrangements of the mercenary military department. If you or anyone under your command dares to have the slightest selfishness, kill them without mercy! severe charges."
"Thirdly, those who are capable in the Hong family can join the army, and those who are not capable can't force it here. As for other Hong people who are not young, or the elderly, children and women, this young master will arrange for them to go to other places." A place where life is guaranteed to be good and there is no danger, but they absolutely cannot live in this place of Jiaozhi. How to do this job is up to you to arrange."
"It's these three points. If you agree, this young master will also promise what I said just now. If you can't agree, then just pretend I didn't say it." After Yang Chendong said the three rules, he waited quietly for Hong Jin's answer.He has no intention of persecuting others.Some things can't be done well if you don't take the initiative.
As for why they want to form the Cochin mercenary army, of course it is because the strength of the mercenary army is still too small. If every time a place is occupied, a large number of troops must be left behind to control it, how many will there be? I am afraid that even mercenaries are not enough.
After Yang Chendong finished speaking, Hong Jin, who was kneeling on the ground, heard it clearly, and soon made his own decision. "Sixth Young Master, Hong Jin is willing."
Hong Jin could naturally hear the meaning of Yang Chendong's words, that is, he was not allowed to become bigger, let alone have his own power.In the final analysis, it is completely becoming a puppet figure.But even so, at least he is still the general of an army of [-].As long as you don't do things too much, there must be no problem.Compared with those Cochin generals who still wanted to fight against the mercenaries, those people must die, it is very good for him to get these, why would he not want to?
Chapter 499 Raiders of Mei Island (Second Update)
What's more, Yang Chendong also said that as long as the Hong family has the ability, they can also be brought into the army. As long as the children below are uplifted and cultivated by themselves, the army of 3 people is equivalent to the Hong family's own army. No one can suppress him except a powerful mercenary, which can be regarded as carrying forward the Hong family in another way.
Hong Jin agreed.This was originally expected by Yang Chendong. "Okay, that's it. Humang will tell you what to do. From now on, you can put down what you are doing."
Tomorrow is the ten-day period, and Yang Chendong, who is already prepared, is about to launch a fierce offensive.The so-called re-acceptance of Han people will naturally be put on hold.
It's just that Hong Jin didn't know this. He thought that someone else would take over the job in his hand. Now that he was only thinking about being a general, he kowtowed and thanked him again, and then withdrew with Humang.
After getting out of the door, Humang walked out, while bowing his head, he said to Hong Jin, who was a step behind him: "You are lucky, the young master is able to take a fancy to you because of your good performance recently. But I hope you will continue." If you can continue to encourage, don’t think about other thoughts.”
"Yes, what Hutou said is true, and Hong Jin wrote it down."
"Well, since the young master has allowed you to be a general, then you go to recruit soldiers. There are more than 2 Jiaozhi people in Beidai City today, and there are about 2000 young people among them. You can choose [-] people first. Yes, and then go to the battlefield with the mercenaries tomorrow. Of course, you will not be allowed to do dangerous things, just clean the battlefield, guard the prisoners, and collect military supplies."
Humang said soft words, but these words were like a thunderbolt in Hong Jin's ears, leaving his mind blank for a while. "Go to the battlefield tomorrow?"
"Yes." Hu Mang nodded, and since he decided to use Hong Jin, he certainly wasn't afraid to know some things in advance. "The young master and Jiao Zhi have been submissive for nine days, and all the preparations have been made, so naturally it's time to turn around."
Hong Jin could no longer hear Humang's next words clearly, and his mind was still muddled at this moment.He always thought smartly that the mercenaries would not be able to eat the whole Cochin, and he didn't want to continue the fight, so he decided to negotiate peace with him.As for the general himself, it should be just to keep the two cities of Quyi and Beidai.But now he realized that he couldn't see through Yang Chendong at all, so naturally he couldn't know what the other person was really thinking.
"Could it be that Cochin is really going to be completely wiped out?"
As soon as this idea took shape in his mind, Hong Jin became excited instead.If what he thought before was only to govern Quyi and Beidai, then wouldn't it be said that he can manage the entire Jiaozhi area? In that case, the power is really great.
Excited for only a moment, Hong Jin thought of a terrible result.That means their Hong family is still in Jiuzhen County.Before, because the two sides were negotiating, the Cochin Army would naturally not do anything to the Hong family, but once the war broke out, how would the safety of the family be guaranteed?
"Tiger head, I am the Hong family"
Knowing what Hong Jin wanted to say for a long time, Humang interrupted him directly and said: "You Hong family don't have to worry, Jiuzhen County should have been captured by the mercenary navy at this moment, and your Hong family will be safe and sound."
Jiuzhen County.
It faces the sea from east to west, connects with Jiaozhi County in the north, and connects with Nichinan County in the south. It has become an important transportation link in the middle school of Jiaozhi.
The crown prince Li Yuanlong stayed here all the time before, just to stabilize the overall situation of Jiaozhi.It was only because the city of Hanoi was in danger and the old king Le Li let go of it that the prince had to leave for the capital to find a countermeasure.
The crown prince left, and the tense Cochin officials here usually felt relieved without a confinement spell on their heads.Although mercenaries appeared in Quyi City and Beidai City, after all, they are still some distance away from them, not to mention that an order has been handed down, saying that they want to send out all the Han people in their place, in order to Used for negotiating with mercenaries.
Since it is a peace talk, there is no need to worry about the safety here.It happened to be raining again today, so the generals and soldiers who were usually on duty by the coastline all went into the room to be lazy.
