The Soldier of the Red Mansion

Chapter 21 Veterans’ Understanding

Zhang Bo quickly found two good farmers. They only took a look at the wasteland and each gave an estimate of how many acres of land could be reclaimed, and they were surprisingly accurate.

"After successfully reclaiming the wasteland, there should be no problem growing 10,000 acres of land."

Qi Yinghao laughed and said, "I almost want my brothers to open up new land on the island."

"The island is so big, and it's your territory. It's not difficult for you Qi family members to open up the wasteland."

Zhang Bo was helpless.

"My brothers are used to being lazy and living the life they are living now. If we ask them to farm, even though they say they are willing, no one will actually do it."

Tang Ping couldn't understand.

Wang Xin thought it was normal.

It is difficult for people who have been doing illegal things for a long time to return to a normal life.

If you say they are afraid of death, then there must be many who are not afraid of death, and each of them is more cruel than ordinary people.

But if Wang Xin was asked to choose a side, he would rather have a hundred Wang family soldiers than a thousand Qi family members. However, there is no need to look down on others and there is no need to offend them.

Just do your own thing quietly.

Just like many people cannot understand themselves because they are not afraid of doing good things.

People are mutual.

The most feared thing is to pay the wrong amount.

I am nice to you, but you turn out to be a mean person. Not only are you not grateful to me, but you are also against me. That's why people should be wary of each other.

Wang Xin is not trustworthy.

Just be kind to others wholeheartedly.

The state of Wang's army is loyalty. It does not mean that every soldier is loyal to him, but some are loyal to him, some may only respect him, and not even support him, and there are even a few who are negative towards him.

But this does not affect one's behavior.

Be good to Wang Jiajun and improve more people's attitude towards you.

When you really want to use someone, you are not afraid of using the wrong person, just like Tang Ping, He Kuan, Liu Tong and others. In these key positions, you use the most reliable people to lead the overall reliable team.

So the right thing for Wang Xin to do is to treat others wholeheartedly.

With the help of Qi Yinghao and Zhang Bo, Wang Xin doesn't have to worry about many things.

The news that Wang Xin wanted to divide the land spread throughout the island overnight.

The news of land distribution was not surprising. Some people praised the loyalty, while others knew in their hearts that it was a way to win over people. However, many people could not understand why the land had to be registered and the ownership of the land had to be confirmed.

Some people admire it, some are surprised, some cannot understand it, and some do not agree with it.

No matter what.

Qi Yinghao, and Qi Yingshe, the third son of the Qi family who came rushing over, the two brothers, together with Zhang Bo and others, saw Wang Xin off. Qi Yinghao accompanied Wang Xin all the way to the shore before returning.

After leaving the island, Tang Ping was still a little reluctant.

He had already begun to imagine life on the island.

Wang Xin said with a smile, "Tang Ping, if you really don't want to stay in the army, I can't force you to stay."

"Since you want to go to the island, you will need to take care of the brothers on the island in the future. He Kuan is in Yangzhou, as well as other brothers. If you encounter any small problems, they can help you solve them. If there are things they can't solve, you can ask Master Lin of the Lin Mansion for help."

Having solved the big problem in his mind, Wang Xin felt relieved.

After more than a year of in-depth research on the issue of destroying the Japanese pirates, Wang Xin was very clear that the biggest problem with the Japanese pirates did not lie with the Japanese pirates themselves, but with the Great Zhou itself.

"Don't worry, General. I will take good care of my brothers on the island."

Tang Ping looked around and whispered, "General, if you go to the capital and things are going well, there's nothing else to worry about. If you're unhappy one day, you can always come back. I, along with my brothers, will continue to follow you."

Hearing this, Wang Xin felt relieved.

He had no doubt that Tang Ping's words were nice, nor did he worry that Tang Ping would change in the future. He would know when Tang Ping changed, for example, if his attitude towards him dropped from loyalty to faithfulness, and from faithfulness to great respect, etc.

Besides, what does loyalty mean?
Anyway, Tang Ping, He Kuan and the others have been loyal to me and have never changed since then.

Neither up nor down.

If loyalty changes easily, can it still be called loyalty?
In the Wang family army, he had even settled the elderly and the weak, so he was worthy of the Wang family army and had a clear conscience. He could just pat his butt and go to the capital. According to Lin Ruhai's words, he would try to become a guerrilla, and after a few years, he would return to the local area and become a lieutenant general.

By then, I would be less than 30 years old. A military district commander or division commander under 30 years old.

And the responsibilities are not equal.

With great power and few responsibilities, isn't this life comfortable enough? And there are loyal subordinates who can be trained wherever you go.

Wang Xin didn't feel that he was at a disadvantage.

When others defeated the Japanese, he was beheaded by the imperial court. Although he could not achieve complete success in defeating the Japanese, he still gained benefits.

So I have no regrets.

But I still feel uneasy.

Because of what?

Wang Xin didn't want to think about it. There were some things that he couldn't think about. If he thought too much, he would easily lose sleep.

The general was away for several days.

In addition to the news that the Wang Family Army was about to disband, He Kuan, the captain in the camp, also began to openly form cliques and factions, and seemed to be trying to create the Wang Family Gang in Yangzhou. Some people were happy while others were worried.

Those young and strong men had already been told where to go.

Although they were reluctant to leave Wang's army, the general was promoted and they should be happy for him. Besides, they themselves had a good place to go, so the sadness of parting was somewhat alleviated.

However, everyone still keeps a low profile on the surface and takes care of their old brothers.

"Master Tang, when you leave, let me see you off."

The veteran is packing his bags.

Someone from the Salt Transport Commissioner's Office has arrived and is urging the general to report to the office, indicating that the general's departure is imminent and the time has come for the Wang family army to be disbanded. Everyone is guessing that when the general returns from outside, the Wang family army will be disbanded.

Not only veterans, many people are packing their bags.

They were old and frail, and the forced march almost cost them their lives, which really affected the combat effectiveness of Wang's army.

Many veterans know they are unwanted.

So I packed my luggage silently.

The camp is strictly managed.

They were not allowed to go whoring or gambling, so they saved up a lot of money and bought a lot of things when they were in the barracks.

Some people were wiping away tears.

Someone is in a daze.

Someone sighed.

"The general is back."

Sudden.

There was a commotion outside.

Upon hearing that the general had returned, the old soldier surnamed Tang immediately stood up and ran out subconsciously, wanting to see the general. After their separation, he was afraid that he would never see the general again in his life.

The Wang family army is about to disband.

The old soldier didn't blame the general at all. If he had anyone to blame, he could only blame the world.

In the past, they were poor miners in the mountains, living a life like slaves and knowing nothing about the outside world. Now they know a few things, for example, many generals died in the suppression of Japanese pirates in recent years, and even the military governor was beheaded.

It is actually a good thing for the general to be promoted, as he no longer has to be stuck in the quagmire. If the general continues to be stuck in the quagmire, he might be beheaded by the court one day.

The training ground, which was empty just now, was suddenly full of people.

Everyone in the barracks ran out.

"General."

someone shouted.

"General."

"General."

Everyone shouted once or twice, and the training ground seemed like a wave.
