Chapter 368 Tang Yin laughed, waved his hand and said: "I and all the adults are the head of the county, you call yourself a lower official, I don't dare to be it."
The head of the seven counties hurriedly said: "Lord Tang is the hero of my gale, and it is not an exaggeration for me to wait for the lower officials to call themselves." ” Tang Yin no longer argued on this matter, he waved his hand and said, "All adults, please sit down."
The heads of the seven counties thanked each other and sat down one after another.
Tang Yin looked around and saw that the seats were full, he clapped his hands, and soon, the servants rushed in and brought the wine and food one by one.
Now there are no real subordinates in Tang Yin's mansion, they are all temporarily served by his personal guards, and after delivering all the wine and food, the guards did not retreat, but stood behind everyone respectively.
This is etiquette, when the guests finish drinking, the subordinates should immediately come forward to fill the wine, but now the subordinates are replaced by guards wearing steel armor, burly and strong, and each waist carries a knife, standing behind the county heads, making people feel cold at the back of their necks.
Tang Yin didn't care what everyone thought in their hearts, he picked up the wine glass, swept his eyes over everyone one by one, and said solemnly: "May my strong wind be able to calm down the civil strife as soon as possible, the country and the people will be safe, and the country will be prosperous.
"Dry" everyone hurriedly raised their glasses, responded in unison, and drank all the wine in the cup.
Tang Yin put down the cup and said slowly: "There are fifteen counties in the Wind Country, after Zhong Tian killed the monarch and usurped the throne, except for my Tianyuan County, the fourteen counties all respected Zhong Tian as the head, which is really sad."
These words made the county leaders present all blush, including Zhao Hui, the head of Guannan County, who was the first to take refuge in Tang Yin.
"Don-sama" Without waiting for the county leaders to explain, Tang Yin grinned, nodded and said, "Of course, I can also understand your difficulties, and I can also take your adult's actions as a wise self-protection and endure humiliation." ” Everyone sighed in unison.
Tang Yin continued: "Now I am worried about internal and external troubles, life and death are on the front line, I hope that you can work together with me and the imperial court, to calm the internal troubles, and resist foreign enemies, you and I should not only be ministers of the same dynasty, but also brothers who are like brothers and sisters, my lords, what do you say?"
"Yes, yes, yes, what Lord Tang said is extremely true" Tang Yin said it so high-soundingly, how dare the county leaders say anything else, they nodded their heads in agreement.
Tang Yin said: "Since they are brothers, there is no distinction between you and me."
Now that Zhong Tian and the Ning army are in Wancheng, we should concentrate our forces and completely destroy the enemy army, this is not enough for me alone, and we also need the full support of all the adults."
Speaking of which, we finally get to the point.
The county leaders are not fools, one is more shrewd than the other, listening to the meaning of Tang Yin's words, it is obvious that they are here to ask for money from themselves.
Sure enough, Tang Yin paused slightly, and then said: "The counties are not directly fighting against Zhong Tian's forces now, and it is useless for the county soldiers to stay in the counties, so it is better to be transferred to Yancheng and destroy the enemy together with my Tianyuan army, what do you mean?"
"This" Zhao Bo, the head of Shangqing County, said with a sad face: "Lord Tang, the county soldiers have been sent out as early as when the Ning army attacked the capital, and they were all dismissed by Lord Tang, and they have not been requisitioned until now, so there are really no soldiers to send."
"Haha" Tang Yin laughed and said: "Lord Zhao is too modest, as far as I know, there are not a few new county soldiers in each county, as little as one or twenty thousand, and as many as four or fifty thousand. ” Ah Zhao Bo gasped, this Tang Yin is really powerful, and he actually knows the situation in each county.
Gollum Zhao Bo swallowed and foamed, he reacted quickly, and immediately changed his words and smiled: "Lord Tang is discerning, and the officials admire, at present, Shangqing County has indeed recruited a new batch of soldiers, with a total of 20,000 people, but most of them are new soldiers, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to do anything on the battlefield." ” Tang Yin nodded and said: "Recruits will become veterans after a few big battles, not to mention, the capital also needs to be garrisoned by our soldiers, Lord Zhao, your 20,000 county troops will be transferred to the capital."
"Oh" Now the county capitals of each county regard the military strength as their lifeblood, which is Tang Yin's sentence that he will leave, Zhao Bo looked embarrassed, and wanted to refuse, but he didn't know how to speak.
Seeing this, Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, poked his head, and asked with a smile: "Why is it that Lord Zhao still hides his secrets when the country is in danger, then is your county army my Gale army or your private army?"
These words made Zhao Bo shiver, and also made the guards in the room turn their heads in unison and look at Zhao Bo, everyone's eyes were sharp, and their hands were on the hilt of the knife, looking at its posture, as if they would rush forward at any time and break its corpse to pieces.
Zhao Bo knelt on the mat and hurriedly stood up, bowed to Tang Yin again and again, and said in a trembling voice: "Your subordinates will never dare to hide the soldiers privately, your lord will check clearly" After a pause, he immediately said: "As long as the adult has an order, the lower official will do it according to the instructions of the adult."
"En" Tang Yin nodded with satisfaction, pointed at Zhao Bo, and smiled at everyone on the left and right: "This is my loyal minister of the Great Wind, and he is my brother."
Lord Zhao doesn't need to feel sorry for your county soldiers, if you can destroy Zhong Tian, Lord Zhao will also make a great contribution, at that time, I will ask the court to play, and give Lord Zhao a big reward."
"Thank you Lord Tang, thank you Lord Tang" Where does Zhao Bo dare to ask for a reward now, just hope that he can be safe.
"Lord Zhao, please take a seat" Tang Yin finished appeasing Zhao Bo, and then looked at Yu Yi, the head of Tai'an County, who was sitting on his left, and said with a smile: "Lord Yu, how many soldiers do you have in Tai'an County?"
Yu Yi was born as a military general, and he was also relatively upright and hot-tempered.
Tang Yin said that he was here to invite them to dinner, but in fact he was here to seize military power, which was extremely hateful.
Yu Yi had a cold face and said in a deep voice: "It's only one or two thousand." ” "Is it only one or two thousand" Tang Yin stared at Yu Yi with straight eyes.
Yu Yi suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, and said, "No more than 30,000 at most" Before his words fell, Tang Yin said quietly: "Among the counties, Tai'an County has the most soldiers, with a total of 50,000 people, and I don't know if I am a lord."
Yu Yi's face changed, and he couldn't help but look at Tang Yin in surprise.
Tang Yin is right, there are indeed 50,000 county soldiers in Tai'an County now, but Yu Yi has kept this matter very secret, and he has never mentioned it to the outside world, so he doesn't understand how Tang Yin knew.
He didn't know that since he entered the capital, Tang Yin began to use the two major intelligence organizations of Tianyan and Earth Network to strictly investigate the strength of each county, he started by relying on county soldiers, and he knew very well how strong a county could be, if all counties had troops and self-respect, then even if Zhong Tian was eliminated, it would be difficult to ensure that there would be no chaos in the counties in the future.
Tang Yin had already made up his mind in his heart that he wanted to cancel all the county soldiers and unify them into the central army, and the soldiers in the county could only obey the dispatch of the capital, and the county head had no right to transfer.
Now he took the opportunity to invite the heads of the counties to drink, and by the way, he took away the military power in their hands, and he was rid of the trouble.
Yu Yi and Tang Yin looked at each other for a moment, and then said: "Even if I have 50,000 army troops in Tai'an, what is Lord Tang going to do?"
Tang Yin said lightly: "Of course, I was transferred to the capital and contributed to the elimination of national thieves." ” "Hehe" Yu Yi smiled and said: "Lord Tang is the head of the county, and I am also the head of the county, I think Lord Tang has no right to give orders to me, not to mention, to dispatch the county army, at least there needs to be a general or a letter from the left minister, I don't know Lord Tang" Before he finished speaking, Tang Yin had already waved his arm suddenly, and slapped Yu Yi on the cheek.
His shot was too fast and too sudden, and Yu Yi, who was born as a military general, was completely defenseless, and was slapped firmly on the cheek by Tang Yin's slap. only heard a crisp sound, its force was so great that Yu Yi, who was sitting behind the table, rolled directly to the front of the table, just in an instant, half of the latter's face swollen so high, he sat up on the ground, tilted his head, looked at Tang Yin in shock and horror, and couldn't react for a while.
He couldn't believe that Tang Yin would slap himself, the county head, in public.
At this time, Tang Yin's face was gloomy, he pointed at Yu Yi below, and said coldly: "I treat you as a brother and reason with you, but you treat me as a fart for you to be the head of a county, when the country is in danger, you don't want to be loyal in return, only seek personal gain, what kind of Fengchen are you and what kind of loyalty and goodness get out of here."
"Tang Yin, you" Yu Yi finally reacted, and just as he was about to speak, the guards around the hall had already rushed up, and they couldn't help but say, pulling Yu Yi and walking out.
Before it was easy to be dragged out of the hall, Tang Yin had already shouted: "Xiao Muqing listens to the order" "The Last Will Be" Hearing Tang Yin's words, Xiao Muqing stood up, stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and intervened to give a salute.

"Yu Yi, the head of Tai'an County, did not listen to the dispatch of the imperial court, and secretly hid the heart of rebellion, and said that you will command the plain army and go out to crusade" "The Last Will Do Duty" Yu Yi, who was dragged out by the guards, was dumbfounded, he never dreamed that Tang Yin would put a big hat of rebellion on himself so quickly, and send troops to fight, this is okay "Lord Tang, Lord Tang, listen to my explanation" "I still need a bullshit explanation" Tang Yin squinted his eyes and said: "I am a person who keeps my word, since it has been written in the letter calling you into the capital that it will not hurt your surname, I will never kill you, however, this does not mean that I can tolerate the existence of a thief like you, after you go home, let your family wash their necks, and the fate of the traitor Zhang Song is that you will learn from the past and go home."
Yu Yi was dragged away by Tang Yin's guards, and there was a dead silence in the hall, and even a needle could be heard clearly on the ground.
The county leaders were so frightened that they almost peed their pants.
Now they finally understand that what new court, what left minister, right minister, and general's are all decorations, and Tang Yin is currently the imperial court, and his words are equivalent to the king's will.
This time, there was no need for Tang Yin to ask again, and the remaining county leaders took the initiative to truthfully report the number of county soldiers they owned, and made a promise, that is, they would convey the order to transfer all their county soldiers to the capital and be under the unified control of the imperial court
