I Built a Territory in Ancient Times

Hope, so I can only cling to this fool?

Thinking of this, Li Man sneered, a fool is a fool, what good is it to cling to a fool? Anyway, he was unwilling to accept his fate. He wondered whether he should write another letter and send it back to let the family in the capital do more for him, when His Royal Highness Duan Wang finally appeared in front of them.

Ming Yu is now at a high place, looking up at the darkness below. These 500 people are his starting team. If he can't be comforted well and can't be with him, then in the future, if he is exhausted from fighting alone, he will not be able to make it. anything. Therefore, now he must nip the contradiction in the bud.

His eyes swept over everyone, and the crowd that was still noisy gradually lost their voices. No matter how they looked down on this silly prince in private, he was after all the grandson of the dragon and the phoenix, a royal noble of the Dayan Dynasty, and he should be respected. some.

Ming Yu squinted his eyes, and his voice had unprecedented solemnity, "I heard that among you there are quite a few complaints about this king?"

No one below dared to say a word, Ming Yu cleared his throat with satisfaction, and said loudly: "This king knows that you are all big men in the capital, and suddenly came to this barren land where birds don't lay eggs, No one can accept the status quo." He paused, rubbing his cuffs with his fingers inadvertently, "But I want to say here that your choice is not wrong."

As soon as these words came out, some people scoffed, what does it mean to choose not wrong? They are not fools, they just let the good times go, and they come over to endure hardships, and they say yes, they lie to ghosts.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Ming Yu smiled and went straight to the topic, "You give me three or five years, and by that time, if you want to return to the capital, this king promises that you can all go back, and I will give it to you. All officials have been promoted to a level…”

Before he finished speaking, the people below seemed to explode at once. What did His Highness say? Did they hear it wrong, or was His Highness talking stupid?

Even Mo Jiang, who was standing beside him, was stunned. He raised his eyes and looked at Ming Yu in disbelief. Is His Highness joking when he said this?

Ming Yu's expression was as usual, and he didn't mean to joke at all. When the people below calmed down a little, he said again: "You heard right, this king is not joking. After three or five years, you can go back to the capital, I will Your Majesty, whoever I agree to return to Beijing will be listed as the Imperial Guard, and even be promoted to one level in the original position. However, all of this is conditional."

Now everyone heard it clearly and clearly, they thought that they would never hope to return to the capital. But listening to His Highness's words, as long as you wait here for a few years, you will be able to return to Beijing. This is very good news, not to mention that His Highness said that returning to Beijing and joining the Imperial Guard will lead to an official promotion. As we all know, the competition in the Praetorian Guards is very fierce. If it doesn't matter, it is impossible to enter. Some people spend their entire lives, and until they retire, they are always only at the bottom, and they will only be promoted when the sun hits the west. of.

Now, as long as you wait three or five years to return to Beijing, you can get a promotion. You can't find such a big good thing with a lantern. What else can they say? Not to mention three or five years, they can afford to wait another ten years.

Everyone's joy was uncontrollable, and a slightly rational person couldn't help but ask, "It really only takes a few years for us to go back to Beijing? Isn't that bluffing us?"

Ming Yu is really not bluffing. That's right, everything has just begun, and everything needs manpower. As long as you wait a few years and all plans are on the way, it doesn't matter if they stay or not. Moreover, he also believed that the development of this cool city was not much worse than that of the capital.

Ming Yu raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone to be quiet, and when the restless people calmed down a little, he said, "A gentleman can't chase after a horse, since this king has said it, he will naturally keep his promise, it's not as good as everyone. How about listening to this condition first?"

Everyone calmed down. By the way, His Royal Highness just said that there are conditions, let's listen first, no matter what harsh conditions, they will come down first, and it will be good for them to survive for a few years.

"This king's condition is very simple. You are the Guards, soldiers, and soldiers. Soldiers take obedience to orders as their natural duty. This king wants you to be absolutely loyal and reliable as long as you are here for one day, and you must obey orders. Therefore, all People must obey orders and act, and they must not act without authorization; they must not act recklessly and oppress the people, and if they violate the order, they will never be lenient.”

After Ming Yu finished speaking, everyone was silent. What kind of conditions are such conditions? One is not to let them do shameful things, and the other is not to let them die, but to follow the rules, but this is what soldiers should abide by.

Ming Yu looked around, waved his arm, and said loudly: "You must always remember that you are soldiers, not to protect a certain person. What you should protect most is the country and the home. The country, honor, and responsibility, you should always Always put it first. Tell this king, can you do it?"

Mo Jiang was shocked, and the first one stepped forward and bowed to the ground, "No! This subordinate will definitely do it!"

"Promise!" Everyone knelt down and promised, they saw hope in Ming Yu's words, no matter what at the moment, they were sincerely surrendering.

8. Chapter 8

Everyone's mind is very complicated, Ming Yu gave them the last hope, three to five years is not long. There is hope, which is given by the person in front of them, at least at this moment they are all grateful.

Ji You saw this scene from afar, and there was a gleam of interest in his eyes. Hey! Interesting, he has followed Duan Wang these days, and he has also learned more or less that this Duan Wang does not seem to be as stupid and disorderly as the rumors.

He rubbed his chin and thought, although he didn't know the rumors about Duan Wang outside would be so different. He has only thought of one sentence so far, he is wise and foolish, and with just a few words of his, he can easily resolve the grievances of the people under him, and even conquer people's hearts.

He narrowed his eyes to hide the look in his eyes. Everyone was fooled by Duan Wang. It seems that he should have informed General Xie of these things as soon as possible.

After solving the problem of anger in the team, it was almost time to reach Liangcheng, and after leaving a few dozen miles, I saw a crowd of people in front of Wuyangyang. The people who were sent out to inquire about the news quickly returned, saying that the prefect of Liangzhou, Mr. Liu, and the Liangzhou garrison, General Wei, came to meet King Duan.

Before Ming Yu refused their special trip to **** them, now Ming Yu and his party are about to arrive, they should come to meet them anyway. Otherwise, if King Duan came to confiscate the land, local officials such as them, regardless of their inquiries, could be convicted of contempt of imperial power if they were caught and participated in the previous book. This is a serious crime, and it is possible to loot the family and destroy the family. Therefore, officials from all over Liangzhou, large and small, came to greet him.

Ming Yu nodded, and put up a battle to greet him. He couldn't lose his courtesy here. No matter what, the lord's posture should still be maintained. Even if the order goes on, the team is rectified, the flags are raised, and the majesty of the prince is displayed, the spirit of the entire team has become different.

When the two sides met, it was inevitable to have some polite greetings. Ming Yu was at ease, with a smile on his face, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze. Of course, this also makes people who have heard the rumors puzzled. His Royal Highness Duan Wang is so handsome, why is he slandered like that? Therefore, seeing is believing, and hearing is false. This is a living example.

Ming Yu changed horses and was surrounded by Liu Zhifu and General Wei. He was new here and didn't know anything. He had this opportunity to get closer to them and to inquire about the situation in Liangcheng.

"His Royal Highness does not know that there are frequent wars in the borderlands, most of the fields have long been deserted, and the people's life is difficult. Many people have no food to eat, and a little surplus food is not enough for the barbarians to come and loot." Master Liu said. said.

This is the truth. Since he took office, it has been like this. The disasters in the borderlands are serious, and the accumulation is difficult to return. Although he tried his best to change people's livelihood, he was powerless, and he had spent a lot of effort to maintain the current situation.

He told the truth at this time, and also hoped that King Duan would know the suffering of the people. In the future, this Liangcheng and the surrounding area of ​​several hundred kilometers will be the domain of King Duan, and the population output of this land will also be counted as King Duan. If His Royal Highness King Duan could be considerate of the people, the people would still be able to live, but if they met a lord who only cared about himself, regardless of the life and death of the people and exploited the people, the people would be miserable, and they would have to peel off their skin even if they didn’t die. If so, there is no way out.

Ming Yu nodded, the barbarians looting and attacking the autumn wind was indeed a headache, and the tragic situation they saw when they came was still as clear as yesterday. He turned his head to look at General Wei, "What can the General do for the invasion of small groups of foreign bandits? For example, to prevent them from invading, burning, killing, looting, etc.?"

As soon as they heard this, the two of them couldn't help but sighed secretly. It was indeed a royal family who was ignorant of the world. Such a naive question, I'm afraid that no one in the room would be able to ask it, right? At least when I understand everything here, I know that this is not something that can be prevented simply. If not, it will not be able to solve this problem after several generations.

Although General Wei sighed in his heart, he still replied respectfully: "Your Highness, the troubles of barbarians have existed since the founding of Dayan. Throughout the dynasties, there have been many people who have the ability to stand on the edge, but barbarians invaded. The problem has never been resolved, it is not that the ministers wait for nothing
