Dozens of officers knelt on the ground, their heads directly pressed to the floor, and no one made a sound.
On both sides of the lobby, there were ten guards standing with swords in hand. Their serious expressions filled the room with murderous intent.
The officers kneeling on the ground have maintained this posture for more than ten minutes. Fortunately, these people are in good physical condition, otherwise it would be too much for ordinary people.
Among the officers of the Beidi Dusi who were pardoned by Zhao Yanxun, including those under Zheng Fan, there were 67 officers with households of 100 households or above.
Although they have been forgiven, everyone knows very well that their lives are like grass and will be blown down by the wind if they are not careful.
Just when everyone was having different thoughts, footsteps sounded from behind the screen in the lobby.
Everyone immediately put away their thoughts and prepared to deal with the next situation.
Zhao Yanxun walked out from behind the screen. He was wearing a black round-neck robe, which "complemented" his gloomy expression.
He sat down at the main seat in the lobby and looked at the people below.
After a few breaths of silence, Zhao Yanxun said slowly: "Logically speaking... I should kill you too!"
Hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions. They were obviously frightened by these words, but they did not have the courage to argue at this moment.
"Following Liu Shili's rebellion, you are all very courageous!"
Hearing this, everyone at the scene was even more confused.
Has he not been pardoned, is he going to be held responsible? Thinking of this, everyone became more and more uneasy.
"But in the end... I still spared your lives, thinking of giving you a chance!"
Just now they were wandering on the edge of life and death, and now they heard Zhao Yanxun's words again, and the stone hanging in everyone's heart slowly fell again.
This unsophisticated tapping technique was used by Zhao Yanxun and had particularly obvious effects.
Just listen to Zheng Fan say: "Thank you, Your Highness, for not killing me!"
After saying that, he kowtowed on the floor, and everyone else followed suit and thanked Zhao Yanxun for his kindness.
Nowadays, the territory is expanding rapidly, and many officials are needed to establish rule.
Liu Shili and his cronies wanted to kill them out of fear, and at the same time to frighten others.
As for the remaining officers, Zhao Yanxun wanted to use them, but they had to be beaten before use.
"Tomorrow, someone will send you to Yuanyang, and you will be transformed together with the officials of the Forbidden Army!"
Only by allowing these people to see the stability of Longyou and carry out ideological transformation in the martial arts hall can Zhao Yanxun be able to use it with confidence.
"You are guilty, but I am waiting for the day when you will be cleared of your crimes!"
Just listen to Zheng Fan shouting: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
Everyone present shouted that they were lucky to be alive, and even more lucky to be able to continue serving as officials. At this moment, they only felt grateful.
"Zheng Fan stays, everyone else leaves!"
Hearing this, Zheng Fan became really excited at this moment.
Zheng Fan voluntarily surrendered on the battlefield, so he felt that he was different from those who were forced to surrender, but after spending a day with others, he did not feel any difference.
Now that he was left in the hall, he knew that his chance had come.
Sure enough, when the others withdrew, they heard Zhao Yanxun say: "I have an errand that I intend to leave to you!"
Zheng Fan immediately replied: "Please tell me, your Majesty, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice: "Take Liu Shili's head and go to the remaining counties in Bei'an Prefecture to persuade the troops left behind to surrender!"
"Are you willing to take on this job?"
Although the job is not easy to do, if he refuses now, Zheng Fan will know that he will never be able to turn around in his life.
Just listen to Zheng Fan's firm tone: "I said that I am willing to go through fire and water for the prince, even if I die!
Zhao Yanxun laughed and said: "I'm not asking you to die. Even if you can't do the job, I want you to come back safely!"
Hearing this, Zheng Fan felt even more at ease.
What this means is that it doesn't matter whether the errand is completed or not.
When Zhao Yanxun said this, Zheng Fan, who was not under pressure, felt heroic about having to complete the task.
Since he surrendered to Prince Yong's Mansion, he, Zheng Fan, was not willing to be ordinary, so he naturally wanted to find a way out in the Prince's Mansion.
"Thank you for your love, Your Majesty!"
"Go ahead and leave today!"
"yes!"
…………
The sun was setting in the west, and when Zheng Fan was on his way with the soldiers, hundreds of miles away in Changjin County, the soldiers had finished their training for the day.
The soldiers lined up in square formation and marched neatly towards the "canteen".
During this transformation training, these soldiers got up at the same time every day, trained at the same time, ate at the same time, and rested at the same time.
As long as they can be unified, they will all be unified throughout the training, and closed training is adopted.
After nine days of rigorous training, these soldiers belonging to Longyou Dusi have completely changed their appearance.
Everyone's spirits were renewed and their expressions were full of high morale.
"One, two, one...one, two, one..."
"Settled...decided!"
One after another, teams stopped outside the "canteen" and stood still following the instructor's military orders.
About two minutes later, nearly 5,000 sergeants stood in the school field outside the canteen. No one made a sound, only the howling of the cold wind could be heard.
Zhang Ziming came to the front of the team, held up a "loudspeaker" and shouted: "Everyone is here..."
"Stay where you are...go!"
The next moment, all the sergeants took steps, and a dull and neat sound of footsteps was heard on the scene.
Zhang Ziming then yelled: "Don't let me hear any noise...or else I'll keep stepping on it!"
The sound at the scene was very loud. If it weren't for the "megaphone" provided by Zhao Yanxun, he would not have been able to give unified command to the 5,000 people.
"One, two, one...one, two, one..."
The sergeants looked solemn and their movements were still uniform, which shows that the recent training has been very fruitful.
After a few breaths, Zhang Ziming nodded with satisfaction, and then shouted: "Set...fix!"
With a bang, the scene fell silent, and the 5,000th sergeant remained as motionless as a mountain.
Just listen to Zhang Ziming shouting: "Today, from the twenty-fifth team to the first team, we will go to the cafeteria one by one to receive dinner. No one is allowed to jump in line, and no one is allowed to play or fight..."
"Do you understand?"
Everyone shouted in unison: "Understood!"
When the scene calmed down, Zhang Ziming then shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness King Yong...long live!"
Shouting slogans before eating has become a routine practice, and the sergeant present was not surprised.
After Zhang Ziming shouted, thousands of people all shouted: "His Royal Highness King Yong...Long live!"
"Okay...Team 25 canteen, follow in turn!"
I saw the coach of the 25th team coming to the front of the team, looking at the sergeants in line and saying: "The first row in the canteen... let's go together!"
Then, dinner really started, and the soldiers entered the dining hall one by one.
After walking for a full twenty minutes, all the soldiers entered the dining hall. After dinner, they could rest for half an hour. After that, they had to go on night patrol for an hour before going to bed and resting.
This time, in addition to the megaphone, Zhang Ziming also brought some search lights so that he could still train on the school field at night.
It is precisely because of these magical things that it is much easier to deify Zhao Yanxun. Now the soldiers really believe that Zhao Yanxun is a god who came to the world to save the world.
After all the soldiers entered the dining hall, the instructors relaxed and lined up in front of Zhang Ziming.
"At night, the formation is mainly formed. Once a monster is encountered, the position changes quickly but the formation must not break up..."
Next, Zhang Ziming talked about the requirements for evening training.
After finishing speaking, they finally entered the dining hall.
Everyone was chatting while walking, and someone said: "Sir, it must be now... Master Gao should have arrived at Longwei Mansion!"
Zhang Ziming nodded. What made him wonder was why Gao Yongfa hurried to Longwei Mansion today without even saying hello when he left.
The most important thing is that Ding Hong also went with him.
