As expected, Yun Zheng's move to replace the original generals as soon as he arrived caused dissatisfaction among many people.
As soon as Yun Zheng arrived at the military camp, a dozen generals of all ranks came up to him.
"Your Majesty, we were all assigned by General Huo to serve in the camp. Even though Your Majesty is a prince, you have no right to dismiss us without authorization!"
"If we have done anything wrong, and the prince wants to remove us from our posts, we will have no complaints!"
"We are really dissatisfied with your actions, Your Majesty!"
"If the prince insists on having his own way, we can only ask General Huo to seek justice for us!"
"Yes, General Huo, please do us justice..."
The crowd was so excited that they no longer cared about Yun Zheng's identity and surrounded him to ask for an explanation.
What happened to the prince?
As long as he joins the army, he will only be a fourth-rank general!
...
...
As soon as he arrived, he dismissed all of their original generals without asking for reasons. No one would accept this!
“Bold!”
Gao He shouted angrily, staring at everyone with a cold face: "Who gave you the courage to act rashly in front of the prince?"
Everyone was intimidated by Gao He's angry shout and gradually quieted down.
"That's fine! I've said that if anyone is dissatisfied, they can come to me!"
Yun Zheng shook his head gently at Gao He, and looked at everyone indifferently, "Don't go looking for General Huo! Go directly to General Wei! It just so happens that I also want to talk to General Wei!"
Use a mere Shuofang defender to suppress him?
You’re overthinking it!
Not to mention Huo Gu, even if Wei Wenzhong was here, he would still replace these generals!
There are not many soldiers who can fight, and if you don't replace the generals with your own people, if something really happens, I'm afraid we can't rely on them!
Seeing Yun Zheng's fearless look, everyone became even more angry.
If they hadn't taken Yun Zheng's identity into consideration, they would have probably wanted to beat him up.
"What are you still standing there for?"
Yun Zheng glanced at everyone calmly, "Hurry up and find General Wei to seek justice for you! While there is still time, try to get General Wei here before dark!"
Provoked by Yun Zheng, everyone became even more angry.
Immediately, several people turned around, mounted their war horses, and galloped out of the camp.
"What are you still doing here?"
Yun Zheng frowned and looked at the few people who were still unwilling to leave. "Could it be that you can't find the way to Dingbei City and want me to send someone to take you there?"
"Your Majesty, I just want justice!"
A general in his thirties stood up and said, "We have done nothing wrong, nor have we failed to fulfill our responsibilities. If Your Majesty directly dismisses us, it will inevitably be suspected of nepotism! If the person Your Majesty appoints is more capable than me, even if Your Majesty lets me be a pawn, I will be convinced!"
"Really?"
Yun Zheng raised his lips and asked, "What's your name? What position do you hold in the camp?"
The man immediately shouted back, "I am Zhou Jishan! I was originally a lieutenant general in the camp!"
Lieutenant general?
Well, in his camp, the lieutenant general is also considered a high-level general.
"What about you?"
Yun Zheng asked several other people.
Several people reported their names and original positions one by one.
The worst one is a military officer who commands a group of soldiers.
No wonder they all come to me to ask for explanation!
However, their military positions are too watered down.
This is just like the company commanders and platoon leaders who conduct military training in modern universities.
In this military farming camp, their military ranks are not low.
But if they were placed among the elite troops of the Northern Army, their military ranks would at least be downgraded by two levels!
"Go, call Du Guiyuan and the others over."
Yun Zheng ordered Gao He.
Soon, Du Guiyuan and others arrived.
Before they could salute, Yun Zheng waved his hand and said, "Tell them what military positions you held in the various departments!"
"yes!"
The four of them obeyed the order.
"The former leader of the Blood-Cloaked Army, Du Guiyuan!"
"The former commander of the second team of the Blood-Cloaked Army, Yu Shizhong!"
"I'm not so good. I'm just a squad leader of the Blood-Cloaked Army, Zuo Ren!"
"Former Infantry Commander of the Shenwu Army, Feng Yu!"
The four of them reported their original military positions and names.
After hearing what the four people said, Zhou Jishan and others' faces suddenly changed.
"You...you are Commander Du of the Bloody Army?"
Zhou Jishan looked at Du Guiyuan in shock.
Although the Blood-Cloth Army disappeared from the ranks of the Northern Army more than five years ago, even after five years, the Blood-Cloth Army's name is still well-known.
Those who are selected to join the Blood-Clothed Army are one in a hundred!
Even if he is an ordinary soldier of the Blood-Clothed Army, if he is placed in other units, he can at least be a commander of a hundred soldiers!
Take Du Guiyuan for example. Although he only commanded 500 people, if he was not in the Blood Clothes Army, he would at least be a general commanding nearly 10,000 soldiers!
And there is Feng Yu, the infantry captain of the Shenwu Army!
They all knew what the nature of the Shenwu Army was.
That's one of the six guards of the imperial city!
There is no need to say much about its elite level.
Feng Yu was able to serve as a captain of infantry in the Shenwu Army, so in their Tuntian Camp, he would be more than qualified to be a captain of infantry!
Du Guiyuan smiled and said calmly: "It used to be, but it's not now."
"Alright, stop bothering me here!"
Yun Zheng waved his hand impatiently, "Go down and compete on yourselves! After the competition, I won't stop you from leaving or staying!"
"However, if you want to stay, no matter what position you originally held in the army, you must start as an ordinary soldier!"
"If you have any merits in the future, or if I see your abilities and you deserve to be promoted, I will not let you be buried!"
After saying that, Yun Zheng asked Du Guiyuan to stay and drove everyone else away.
He doesn't care whether these people stay or go.
Even without these people, his camp can still function normally!
Maybe it will work better.
It was not until several people left in disappointment that Yun Zheng asked Du Guiyuan about the conditions of the elderly, the weak and the disabled.
This question really gave me a surprise.
These soldiers who settled in the fields did not spend their whole days farming.
Many of them have various skills.
There are carpenters, bricklayers and so on.
Some people can forge iron.
The farm tools they usually use are all made by themselves.
Upon receiving this news, Yun Zheng was overjoyed.
These people may not be able to charge into battle, but they are all useful!
Now, those workshops that I have been dreaming of have hope.
"Classify all the craftsmen and select some experienced and prestigious people to manage them..."
Yun Zheng quickly began to make arrangements.
After completing the arrangements, Yun Zheng immediately rode out of the military camp and went to find Zhang Xu, who had come to survey the land, to share the good news with him.
Looking at Shuofang City not far away, Yun Zheng couldn't help but make up his mind secretly.
We must take control of Shuofang City as soon as possible!
As long as we successfully take control of Shuofang City, the rest will be easy.
Damn it!
We have to quickly finish these messes in the military camp so that we can free up our hands to seize control of Shuofang City...
