Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

Ning Fan sent someone to catch these people and asked them carefully. A smile appeared on Ning Fan's face: "Things went more smoothly than expected. Come on, let's go there."

The team headed towards Sanhuangding. At noon, the three teams finally met at Sanhuangding.

From a distance, Ning Fan smelled the smell of blood. Sure enough, when he walked in, he saw piles of corpses.

"Your Highness, these bandits are stubbornly resisting and cannot be captured alive, so..."

The leader of the raiding team was named Chen Yuanqing, a tall young man.

He is in his early twenties, but his military ability is outstanding and he is a fierce general.

"At the gathering of seven major cottages, how many leaders did you arrest?"

Ning Fan asked with satisfaction.

Chen Yuanqing waved his hand, and several soldiers took the people out.

Several bandit leaders in rustic clothes were brought out, each with their heads drooped and saying nothing.

"Are you convinced?"

Ning Fan was too lazy to talk nonsense and went straight to the topic.

"I don't accept it! You guys are carrying out sneak attacks, what kind of heroes do you think you are?"

A big man said loudly with a local Jiangzhou accent.

Ning Fan sneered, pointed at the big man's nose and said coldly: "Drag him down and chop him to death."

The big man didn't expect Ning Fan to look so gentle and elegant, but he was so angry, but he was used to being arrogant, and he couldn't hold back the dignity of begging for mercy at this time.

His pale face was grabbed by several Dragon Scale Army soldiers, and he was as limp as a puddle of mud.

When Chen Yuanqing saw this scene, he walked over and punched him.

This punch was so powerful and heavy that it almost knocked the person unconscious.

"Your Highness, kill right here!"

Chen Yuanqing asked for instructions.

"These bandits usually do a lot of evil. I don't know how many innocent people have died in the hands of these people. Beheading them is a mercy to them!"

Ning Fan waved his hand to indicate his agreement.

Chen Yuanqing was also unequivocal. With his sword in hand, the first bandit leader who talked back to Ning Fan died.

When the remaining bandit leaders saw this scene, they were so frightened that their gallbladders almost burst.

The look he looked at Ning Fan was like seeing the living King of Hell.

"I am King Dakang Qing, and Jiangzhou is my territory. Who told you to run wild?"

Ning Fan stared at several people with cold eyes.

The gangsters were usually arrogant and domineering, but at this moment they had no courage to look at Ning Fan. They all drooped their heads and their bodies were shaking with fear.

"I'll let you go! I'll give you three days to bring your team down the mountain and surrender! Of course, you'll also bring the food and money from the stronghold. Are you willing?"

Ning Fan's expression returned to gentleness.

When several bandit leaders heard what Ning Fan said, they immediately became energetic.

They haven't thought that there are such stupid fools in the world.

"Don't rush to answer my question yet!"

"I only give you one chance. I'll let you go, and you can come back and join me! Of course, if you feel that your wings are stiff, you don't have to listen to me, but next time you are caught by me, your head will be moved!"

Ning Fan sneered.

Several bandit leaders were about to agree loudly, but then they suddenly had concerns.

None of them dared to speak.

After all, Ning Fan had the confidence to let them go.

"Are you His Highness Prince Qing? You caught us, why did you let us go?"

An older bandit leader asked curiously.

"There are two reasons. First, since I dare to let you go, it means that I am sure to catch you next time."

"The second reason is that those men under your command are all strong men. It is easy for me to kill these men, but it is wasted. Please go back to give you a chance to bring your team to join me. From now on, everyone will have a great time together." Eat meat.”

Ning Fan was straightforward.

Several bandits looked at each other and finally gritted their teeth and said: "We are willing to go back and convince the brothers to join His Highness!"

"Your Highness, these people are all bandits. Bandits have no morals! If you let them go, they will probably run away without a trace."

Chen Yuanqing felt a little unhappy when he saw that Ning Fan actually wanted to let go of these bandits who had not been caught easily.

"Chen Yuanqing, pay attention to your identity! Your Highness wants you to teach him how to do things?"

Luo Yong said coldly.

Chen Yuanqing originally won the battle and was a little arrogant, but when he was scolded by Luo Yong, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.

Just as he was about to kneel down, Ning Fan reached out to support him: "Forget it, if a young man is not energetic, can he still be called a young man? You have done a good job this time and have made a great contribution, and I want to reward you!"

Clear rewards and punishments are the most important part of leading a team.

If Chen Yuanqing were to leave today just because of a word, it would definitely chill the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies.

Moreover, Ning Fan could see that Chen Yuanqing was outspoken and honest, and he was a good young man. If he was well trained, he might not be the Dakang version of Changshan Zhao Zilong in the future.

"Your Highness, are you really not going to punish me?"

Chen Yuanqing was stunned.

Yaguchi accepted the punishment for offending King Qing.

But Ning Fan's attitude moved Chen Yuanqing very much.

"Of course you will be punished! Go back and copy the military regulations a hundred times! Remember from now on that the commander's orders must be carried out unconditionally!"

"You won the battle today and made a great contribution. When you go back, you will receive one thousand taels of silver, and you will be promoted to the rank of Dragon Scale Army Thousand Households!"

Ning Fan said.

Chen Yuanqing was surprised and happy to hear Ning Fan's reward, and the soldiers around him also cast envious glances.

"Today, all the meritorious officers and soldiers will be rewarded according to their merits. After they return, they will be recorded in the merit book! In the future, land will be distributed!"

Ning Fan said loudly.

When they heard that they were going to reward land, all the soldiers around were shocked.

You know, the most important means of production in this era is land!

The people of Dakang have an indescribable obsession with land. The goal of many people's life is just to purchase land!

Seeing the joy of the soldiers around him, Ning Fan suddenly had a new idea.

How to motivate these people to fight, then we must have a complete incentive method, always giving money and land, of course it is not enough, and it must be tied to a sense of honor and status, so that these soldiers who fight for the country can truly gain both fame and fortune. .

Of course, complete policies must be formulated on the issue of pensions for those who die or become disabled.

However, this is a huge project, and Ning Fan is just providing an idea. After returning, he will have to consider it in the long term.

Overall, Ning Fan had two thoughts.

The first idea is to formulate a military rank system immediately after returning!

The second idea is to develop a complete reward mechanism!

If these two sets are designed well, the Dragon Scale Army will definitely be invincible on the battlefield in the future.

Of course, this is a long process, and according to Ning Fan's plan, it will take at least three years of hard work.

"Your Highness, I'm not leaving, and you don't have to bother trying to catch me. I'll just write a letter asking the brothers in the village to come down and join Your Highness!"
