Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 35 I only rely on my sincerity

What does it take to conquer famous generals?
Of course it is sincere!
There are many things in Bai Tu's hard drive, such as Shu brocade embroidery crafts and so on, but these are not the focus.

"My lord, I have eight hundred brocade sails and thieves under my command, who can help my lord achieve his goals!" Under Bai Tu's sincerity, Gan Ning not only worshiped his lord, but also brought his own troops.

But regarding the Jinfan thieves, Bai Tu asked very cautiously: "Although I have heard before that the Jinfan thieves can easily harm people's lives, but... our army is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. The law has always been strict, and the past is acceptable. Regardless, if someone slightly disturbs the people in the future, military law will not tolerate it! Xingba thinks, how many people can withstand this military law?"

After hearing this, Gan Ning thought for a while and said: "I can control the hundred people I have trusted...but the other positions, placed in any place in Jing or Yang, are more than enough to serve as corps commanders and bodyguards."

The corps commander is already the lowest officer, and the full complement can only control seven or eight "soldiers" at most. It can be said to be the lowest officer and the lowest level among real people in the army.

As for the soldiers, they are a special case in the army. They can often be served by real people, and they are bound to be the most loyal soldiers!
These water thieves don’t have Yi Ji, so they are all real people.

"Thousands of troops are easy to get, but popular support is hard to find. There is no need to discuss this." Bai Tu shook his head.

Bai Tu believed what Gan Ning said, but there are some things that cannot be exceptions.

"If your lord insists, I can make my own choice," Gan Ning said.

"How much is the severance pay? You have to tell them that after returning home... that's all! In short, tell them that if they want to join the bandits again, they will not show mercy when we meet on the battlefield! If they don't know what to do after returning home, they can wait a while. Wait. After we take control of Jiangdong in the future, we will recruit them to do other jobs." Bai Tu was still thinking about paying some severance pay.

Although Bai Tu had no money, his godfather... no, his adoptive father still had some wealth, so it would be enough to send hundreds of people away.

"Hehe, my lord, please don't forget what I do? There will naturally be a need for demobilization in the water village... I can also fund a military expenditure for my lord!" Gan Ning was so cheerful that he even brought his own military pay.

"No, if there are any left... there seem to be a lot of water thieves in the Yangtze River? Xingba can help me distinguish them, select loyal people, and tell them that I, Bai Tu's subordinates, don't care about their origins, only look at their origins. Ability and merit, but if you vote for me, you must make a three-part agreement and you must not do anything that violates military discipline." Bai Tu said.

"I know it well." Gan Ning nodded.

"As for the expenses, just come from your funding!" Bai Tu said.

Gan Ning: ...

Gan Ning looked at the white picture speechlessly, and then said "here".

"Lord, you promised me..."

"When I get to Qu'a, I will definitely start the confrontation with Yuan Shu first, but... as long as I have a little leisure time, this new brocade will definitely be the key to raising funds for me! And I promise you, any style of new brocade or new satin, the first One copy will always be yours, Gan Ning!" Bai Tu agreed.

Gan Ning then smiled - just using the "precious" Shu brocade as a show off was not enough to satisfy Gan Ning. From now on... he will use limited edition Shu brocade!
In fact, Gan Ning wouldn't believe it if someone else talked about improving Shu Brocade, but... for Bai Tu, who improved papermaking and created printing technology, the intensity is naturally much greater, and Bai Tu is still vaguely related to Gan Ning. Ning proposed a general direction for improvement.

As a Shu brocade controller who came from a noble family in Shu County, Gan Ning has also seen some of the production processes of Shu brocade. What Bai Tu said... sounds reasonable!

"Don't be so short-sighted, follow me, and you will have a lot of good things to show off in the future!" Bai Tu said.

Gan Ning just curled his lips and thought to himself: Is there anything better than Shu brocade?

Kong Rong had just been grabbed by Chen Gong and was unable to come in with Gan Ning and Tai Shi Ci at the first time. When Kong Rong entered the cabin, he saw that Gan Ning and Tai Shi Ci had already paid their respects to the lord. He couldn't help but sigh that Mr. Bai was indeed very human. also.

After Chen Gong followed in, he also showed a look of relief - he had deliberately restrained Kong Rong just now to give Bai Tu time.

When thinking about recruiting generals in Chen Gong, one must look to the future. However, Kong Rong was a Confucian master and was naturally inclined towards the Han Dynasty. Some promises and expectations were not suitable to be mentioned in front of him.

Now it seems that Bai Tu did not disappoint him, which is a good thing for Lu Bu and Chen Gong himself!
But they didn't know that Bai Tu didn't mention any prospects at all. He did have a promise to them, but it was just different from what Chen Gong thought.

As for empty talk about being granted the title of a marquis, a general, or a wife, Bai Tu was a little reluctant to talk about it.

He can only promise what he can do, not to harm the people, to improve the Sichuan brocade... There is no reason why these white pictures can't be done.

Even if one day Bai Tu is surrounded by enemies and is in danger, he can still leave the improved Shu brocade craftsmanship to Gan Ning as a suicide note!
It is easier to easily promise others a bright future than to improve Shu brocade. After all, too ambitious a goal is equivalent to having no goal, but... what if the bright road in the future goes against the faith that you insist on?

Bai Tu has been suffering from insomnia and dreaminess recently - the matters of getting married and worshiping his adoptive father have been lingering in his mind.

It's not that I regret anything, but this incident clearly made Bai Tu realize that the values ​​​​of this world are incompatible with the "modern" values ​​​​of Bai Tu 20 years ago.

Bai Tu understood that he could not directly make the world become what he was accustomed to, so he did not directly write the elementary school textbook as an ideological and moral textbook for primary school students. He must admit that values ​​​​and moral values ​​are of the times.

But at the same time, Bai Tu was always struggling in his heart, and did not think that he was wrong because he was out of tune with the times...

At least the most core thing, Bai Tu does not want to give up, nor can it completely compromise with the times.

Before he had thought through these things clearly, Bai Tu could not confess what he wanted, and he could not accept it in his heart. He formed an interest group by promising others their so-called "future".

But no matter what, Bai Tu has used "a sincere heart" to win the loyalty of Tai Shi Ci and Gan Ning.

After that, Taishi Ci temporarily served as the school captain and was responsible for Bai Tu's bodyguards, while Gan Ning went to dismiss the old troops first - the method of identification was very simple. Gan Ning told everyone that they could choose their own future, or they could take the money and food from the water village and go to the water village first. Go back to Jiangdong and live a comfortable life, and Gan Ning will find them again in the future, or continue to hang out with Gan Ning!
They don't even want money, but they have to follow Gan Ning's cronies. Gan Ning believes that they will not violate military discipline.

Then Gan Ning did not go with Bai Tu, but took people to recruit other Yangtze River water thieves for Bai Tu. Bai Tu had also told him that those water thieves who were really vicious and refused to surrender or disband, he You can destroy it on your own...
