Nan Cang continued, "I come from a military background."
"Soldiers, soldiers, are supposed to be loyal to the country! What are you talking about now? Do you want me to rebel?"
The faces of all the Nan family's senior executives turned gloomy.
The reason why the Nan family is in its current situation is mainly due to Nan Cang.
Nan Cang established countless military achievements, established the first army of 2,000 people, and was the first minister of the Nan family to become a first-rank official.
He is the first member of the Nan family from the ancestor to the present day who has brought honor to the family and become the Grand Marshal, one of the Three Dukes.
He is responsible for more than half of the Nan family's current situation.
But in the eyes of the Nan family's top leaders, this man is a stubborn person, probably because he has been instilled too much of the military's ideology.
What can't be done is to kill the king, to be loyal to the country, to sacrifice the small country for the country and the big country, and to risk one's life.
This set of theories was talked about all day long, which made many profit-seeking senior members of the Nan family quite unhappy.
With money and status, he can have women whenever he wants, and all the rich and valuable things he wants.
Now that Zhuge Liang controls the court, the Nan family can no longer get any benefits. The entire military expenditure has become normal military expenditure, but the supply of supplies has not been reduced.
There is a full supply of food and supplies, and the generals of the Nan family cannot say anything because the low-level soldiers have not suffered any losses, but those in power have suffered huge losses.
So now many generals in the entire Nan family are angry.
Of course, Nancang intended to rectify this atmosphere. When the court became orderly and upright, why did the clansmen become angry?
A country is beginning to get on the right track, the people are living and working in peace and contentment, the country and the central government are thriving, yet there are actually some scoundrels who complain about not being able to make money?
Nan Cang has been thinking about rectifying the Nan family. Previously, he had been unable to do so, and the court was in chaos. Any action by the Nan family would cause a stir in the court.
But it’s different now. I can see that the Nan family is gradually being marginalized.
It is necessary to reorganize the Nan family, but before that, I plan to find Zhao Xin.
Talk to him and see if he can solve the problem of the Nan family. Although there are some shady people in the Nan family, there are many outstanding generals who are young and brave. The soldiers of the Nan family are not incapable of conquering the world for Zhao Xin.
The Nan family still has value to be utilized, and it’s not just value to be utilized, it also plays a very important role for Zhao Xin.
The only headache is the border. The two sons-in-law are increasingly considering themselves less and less as outsiders.
It seems that they even have the idea of rebelling and counterattacking the Qin Dynasty, but they don’t know how the emperor will hold them accountable if this trouble breaks out.
These are people from our Nan family who are guarding the border.
In the military camp...
Zhao Xin said to the commander in front of him, "Li Cunxiao."
The commander quickly saluted Li Cunxiao, and Zhao Xin said, "Commander, thank you for your hard work in training the troops."
"But this is a general under my command."
"He will take your place."
"Of course, I will reward you with 20 catties of gold, 40 catties of silver, and one million coins."
"Also, military pay has tripled."
"You have three days off every month, and you can take some money and go back to visit your family."
"However, these 50,000 soldiers need to be managed by someone else."
"They are my powerful generals, in charge of the army, and they will be more powerful than you."
Upon hearing this, the commander also saluted Zhao Xin, then knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The soldiers will protect our country."
"You cannot fight for personal gain alone. Your Majesty, please appoint a powerful general, and I will obey your orders."
"What a great way to defend our country!"
"What a guy who doesn't fight for personal gain!"
"Well said!" Zhao Xin helped the commander up.
"They say soldiers are born with integrity. It seems there's truth to that."
"Well, then, I'll give you the reward and rest time I told you about before."
"It won't be less, and the same applies to military pay, but you still have to hand over the troops to General Li Cunxiao."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhao Xin was not worried at all about how Li Cunxiao led his troops. A general's main job was to lead the troops in battle, so of course, the general's military strength was crucial.
As the saying goes, if one soldier is incompetent, the whole army will be incompetent.
A general with high military power can easily make the entire army dare to fight and kill. For example, Han Xin's style of leading troops in battle is very different from that of Xiang Yu.
When Xiang Yu led his troops to fight, he was very daring and aggressive. He led 30,000 troops to charge at Liu Bang's army of more than 500,000 without any fear. Instead, he defeated Liu Bang's army.
Han Xin's style of leading troops is very different from Xiang Yu's, and it feels like real military tactics.
He likes to play tricks, but that said, he won't charge head-on into battle like Xiang Yu led his troops.
This is the influence of the general on the soldiers. The general's military strength also represents the degree of resistance of the army when facing desperate situations.
If the general is a bad guy, it will cause big trouble.
Of course, this may sound harsh, but wars are big things, not the time to be sentimental. If you don't have the ability, just go down. This will make things easier for everyone.
In short, Li Cunxiao was quite relieved with his 50,000 soldiers.
Li Cunxiao was a brave warrior when leading troops to fight, and he was looking forward to seeing how Li Cunxiao would fight the seven kings.
The armed forces of the seven kings who rebelled had a maximum of 200,000 men, but were stopped by the 80,000 men of the Nan family.
The lowest number was 50,000, and the Nan family used 10,000 to block it.
Nan Cang of the Nan family is a loyal minister, but Nan Cang is not loyal to himself, he is loyal to the country.
But there are many villains in the Nan family, and he knows it all.
But even though corruption was serious, there was no problem in fighting the war. Eighty thousand people blocked the 200,000-strong army of one of the seven kings.
But now they still haven't directly killed the seven kings, probably because the loss would be too great if they completely wiped them out.
As long as people are given a way to survive, they will not take risks.
However, if you want to completely wipe out the Seven Kings, relying on the Nan family may not be enough.
After the Nan family wiped out the seven kings, they had lost all their capital and still had to rely on their Tiance Army, Zhongzhou Army, and Tiehu Army.
All 500,000 troops eventually stayed. After five months of training, only 30,000 of them chose to leave.
However, due to the excellent training results, all ten military camps were retained.
There are more than 40,000 people in each military camp.
Four Tian Ce Armies, four Zhongzhou Armies, one Tiehu Army, and Zhang Liao's Cavalry Battalion.
There were ten military camps. Zhao Xin distributed all the troops along the way and was in a very good mood.
With these 500,000 troops, the Qin Dynasty truly looks like a powerful country.
He left five military camps for Zhuge Liang, took four with him, and a cavalry camp, which was under the command of Zhang Liao but also belonged to his own army.
So he and Zhuge Liang divided the ten military camps with nearly 500,000 people equally.
