1687 Inside the Behemoth(1/2)
In this way, Li Cong and the others got enough rest time. If it weren't for the uncooperation of the Behemoth, Li Cong and the others would probably have to face more enemies now. These savages don't know how tired they are. Li Cong's
The men quickly carried bags of cement up one after another. Many people were already exhausted, but they were still working hard. Everyone knew very well that the city wall could be repaired at this time.
The better they are, the better they will be protected in the next battle. The war between humans and savages has lasted for many years. Although humans have won, most of the time they rely on city walls and
Weapons can only win. This small part of the victory is in the wild. Of course, it can only be a small part. w w.
"We have to speed up the progress of the project. I don't think we have much time. They may launch an attack on us at any time down there. Why don't we let them take turns to carry out the work? These people
We are already very tired." Situ Sheng said, looking at the tens of thousands of engineering soldiers. Many soldiers had no strength at all. At this time, they were relying on their own perseverance to persevere. Since Li Cong asked them to do it, Li Cong would do it.
It’s just what I mean, it’s not convenient to say it right now.
"Haha, it's better not to talk about this matter, but don't worry, nothing will happen to them." Li Cong said with a smile. Situ Sheng looked at Li Cong in confusion. What on earth is this guy doing? In fact, Li Cong
There are two reasons why they are allowed to work here without help from others. How to make this cement is still a technical job. Even these engineering soldiers have not done it yet, let alone other soldiers.
The products produced must be at least one-fifth defective. If ordinary soldiers are used to do it, it will definitely be more, so Li is never prepared to let ordinary soldiers intervene.
This is only one of the reasons. Another reason is the composition of the engineering troops. There are too many nobles.
Although the imperial law stipulates that children of nobles and civilians must perform military service. But entering the barracks is one thing, and what kind of work you do after entering is another matter. Take what is happening here as an example. These noble children
When they come in, they always rely on their family connections to send messages to the front line, not to go to the front line. Li Cong satisfied them and told their parents that the engineer soldier was just a little tired. But there was no problem in saving his life.
Their elders at the rear actually asked them to come here to practice. Very good, their elders have all responded. It’s no problem for Li Cong to command them hard, and it’s no problem to beat or scold them, but there is one thing.
They have to learn something when they come back. They can't just mess around. The most important requirement is that they must come back alive. Of course, injuries are inevitable. As long as they can survive, they can do anything.
Since your father has said that if you want to make contributions when you go back, I will let you just come and hang out. In fact, Situ Sheng's eldest son is also among these people. The reason why he said that to Li Cong is because he saw
His son had fallen down several times, but he had never done this at home. He originally thought that his son would not be able to get up. Unexpectedly, his son fell down several times, and he became stubborn every time.
He got up. This was something Situ Sheng didn't expect. Li Cong's education method seemed to be really effective. Situ Sheng asked once, but Li Cong said nothing. From now on, he stopped asking and just beat him.
"Don't feel that you are tired, and don't expect the combat soldiers next to you to help you. Let me tell you, you are the only engineering soldiers in this army. The work you do can make more people survive. You
The work they do is different from them. It is their task to keep themselves alive on the battlefield, but you are different. You have to save everyone's lives. You also understand why I order you like this, because you are different from them.
They have not received much favor from the empire, but you are different. You are all noble children of the empire. To put it bluntly, if the country is destroyed, you will all be beheaded, but they can continue to be ordinary people. I
What I want to tell you is that everyone can retreat, but you can't. Think about your beautiful days. You must use your own body to defend such days and defend the honor of your ancestors. You can tell me that you don't have it.
You have lost your strength and you can't do it anymore. It doesn't matter. I can give you a horse for travel expenses. Go back to the imperial capital, but your ancestors will be laughed at for a lifetime because they have a rat-like descendant. What do you want?
Are you that kind of person?" Seeing that these people were exhausted, Li Cong used his trump card.
Situ Sheng saw very clearly from the sidelines. He knew several of them, and their families also asked him to take care of them. He originally thought very well. If the engineering soldier did not go to the front line, he would give them all away.
After the arrangements were made, who would have known that the hardship they suffered would be even worse when they were forced to go to the front line. I thought they were all dead, but who knew that they all shouted "I don't want to be a part" and continued to work like little tigers one by one.
, they kept working like this for three hours. One by one, they got off the city wall and lay on the ground. That's right, they lay on the ground. They didn't even have the strength to sit up. Each of them felt the pain in their throats.
It was about to smoke, and the smell of sweat all over my body didn't feel like breathing. At this moment, thousands of soldiers from a distance came over with two buckets of water each. They vigorously sprinkled the clean water on these people.
Others started feeding them water.
"Drink this water. I can tell you that you succeeded in the first stage. I will send a letter to each of your ancestors, telling them what exactly you have done here and what you want them to do.
After receiving the award from the empire, I want your family to be more honorable, so keep working hard." Li Cong stood on the city wall and said loudly. These people were also motivated by Li Cong. In fact, there are many technical personnel,
What Li Cong is interested in is their status. None of them have titles now, but in the future, there will be no guarantee that there will be no princes or dukes among these tens of thousands of engineering soldiers. At that time, he will use them.
"I can see that everything you do is calculated, and I am convinced." How could Situ Sheng not know what Li Cong wanted to do when he saw what he did? These people and Li Cong
It has always been a mutually reinforcing relationship. It is estimated that after this war is over, those who have inheritance rights in the family will definitely become the highest-level people in their families, and those who do not have inheritance rights will also gain some power. Li Cong will definitely
If you help them, they can show off to their families when they go back that their troops are all disciples of the regent. Although many people's father is at most the lord of a county and city, but if there are dozens of county and city lords out of tens of thousands of people,
City Lord, this force is quite powerful. Other armies are afraid of these rich second-generation officials, but Li Cong likes them the most. Speaking of which, Li Cong also gave them a lot of discounts, such as
Their lives are not in danger when the enemy attacks. However, it is not easy to take advantage of Li Cong. You must work harder than others. And timely encouragement can also make them think that this is Li Cong.
From training them.
"Haha, the road for the future needs to be paved slowly now. Let me make it clear first that I will not interfere in your family's affairs. I also know that your son is here. When a father sees his son, he will be so...
It’s so hard that I didn’t go over to help. You are also a person I respect.” Li Cong said with a smile. This really made Situ Sheng look good. There are also cowards among these people. The grandson of the Taiwei is one of them.
The Taiwei has dozens of grandsons. This grandson is obviously something the Taiwei doesn't like, but the Taiwei has asked someone to take care of him. For such a grandson, Li Cong also wants to train him and go back to make a fool of himself in the Taiwei's family.
Yes, who knew that when this kid came, he would just say that he was in pain all over. It would be better this way. It would save you a useless kid. Now these people have become a negative example for Li Cong to educate others. These people are very worried now.
They are depressed. They also want to join the army. Unfortunately, they no longer have that opportunity. It is they who have wasted the opportunity. The door cannot always be opened for you.
"Tch, do you think I have a heart of stone? To be honest, my son has been very good to me since he was a child. When he grows up, although I have many sons, I still feel that this son is the most similar to me.
. It’s not a matter of appearance, it’s that this boy is very similar to my father in his behavior. He is upright, but not pedantic. When you asked me to win over him, he told me that only by following you can I have a new path, although I can’t accept it.
It's not a big influence, but he can see this step ahead of me. I'm really relieved. I see how tired he looks these days and really want to help him, but I think again, don't care about me this time.
In any way, as long as I give him a little help, he will fail, but if I don't help him, as long as he can persevere, it will be a victory." Situ Sheng said, looking at his son playing in the distance.
, he feels that his son has become stronger than before. They are noble young masters who no longer carry sacks. They probably don’t even carry water at home. The tea is not good and it is not made by Yitian, but they still don’t drink it. But now? Look?
It was also very happy to see them all sipping the cold water. Situ Sheng was very afraid that his child would become incompetent. He was a military general himself, so he also hoped to have a general son. In the past, he
He already had no hope for this, but now, it was Li Cong, his former enemy and now his friend, who gave him hope.
"You're right, but it's a pity that many people don't have the same vision as you. It is estimated that many of these people will write to their fathers to complain about me. By then, all those who are useless will get out." Li Cong
He said with a smile that he wanted to use these people, but he couldn't keep some people who were really useless, as that would mess up the entire army.
"No matter what your intentions are, if you can transform my son like this, to be honest, it is better than giving me the title of a marquis." Situ Sheng received the imperial edict just now, and he already has the title of a marquis.
In the past, he really hoped that he could have a title. The Queen Mother had already promised this guy, but the Queen Mother did not give it to him, but to his son. Even so, the Queen Mother did not agree happily.
Yes, which bureau I was in before. The Queen Mother just gave him a hope. It was impossible to really give him such a title. Speaking of which, he was just a domestic slave. If the Queen Mother gave him a title, he would never give him a title.
How to control the people in the entire family? There are many marquis disciples of the Queen Mother, including Situ Sheng. However, there is only one person who is from a humble background and has no title. After thinking about this, Situ Sheng has no idea about that person.
The title is not that important to him anymore. It’s strange to say that when Situ Sheng thought about it very much, the title was too far away from him, but now when he doesn’t think about it, the title suddenly comes to him. It’s really surprising.
I was very surprised and no one could understand.
"Although I say that, I actually gave you the title of Marquis for two reasons. The first is that you are indeed worthy of this title. I thought you were a conspirator in the past. In fact,
It seems that your mind is really spinning very fast. Among the generals of the empire, there are not many people who do not have the title of marquis. You should have this title in the first place." Li Cong said with a smile. This was to Situ.
Sheng was most certain that Situ Sheng's performance in the past few days was worthy of the title of Marquis.
"Haha, it is really a good thing to be praised by the regent, but I think another reason may be to show my successors that they will definitely do well following you. In fact, it is not necessary.
In this way, Prince Gong and Prince An are a good proof. In the past, they were mediocre people in the royal family, but now. They are both high-ranking princes in the royal family.
, especially King An's growth is the fastest." Situ Sheng seemed a little confused, his reason should exist, but it was necessary for Li Cong to spend so much effort to cultivate his own.
"You are half right, and the other half is that you are indeed a good general, and you know the current situation of the empire. The current situation of the empire is that there are too few useful generals, and most generals are just messing around.
When they reach the level of a general, what do they care about? What they care more about is their official position. That day you said you would rush out with heavy cavalry. I didn’t understand what you meant at the time. I thought it was just a
It was a very ordinary sprint. Later, Meng Tian told me that it was a suicide action. Since when did I admire you?" Li Cong did not lie about Situ Sheng's words. Indeed, from when Li Cong arrived on this planet
From the beginning, the generals I saw were either incompetent or corrupt and corrupt. It is very rare to find someone as capable and very honest as Situ Sheng. He is also loyal to the Queen Mother and has already reached the light of day.
Even though the city is under control, you can still accept orders from the Queen Mother. You must know that this is a very dangerous matter.
"Haha, it's just a soldier's duty. In fact, I was the same as Meng Tian back then, but I was a little luckier than this guy. I got to know the Queen Mother, and the entire Ulanala clan. From that time on, I
After entering this position, until now, many times I want to tell the Queen Mother that I don't want to be so tired, I want to be free, because I feel that I am not suitable for that position at all, and I hope that I can be called a
A true imperial soldier, what I consider is not the personal interests of my family, but the interests of the entire empire. Unfortunately, no one can hear my words, and my own strength cannot resist the power of the Queen Mother. If
If I bring it up, I will definitely die. It’s okay for me to die myself, but as for my family, they will die after me, so until now, although I resist your changes, sometimes I do too
What I hope for is completely different from you and the Queen Mother. You have the common people in your heart, while the Queen Mother only has Ulanala in her heart." Situ Sheng seemed to be a wise man, and this was the first time Li Cong had a deep understanding with him.
After talking with each other, I found that he could indeed see clearly.
Li Cong is naturally not as grand as that guy said. In fact, Li Cong's heart is the same as that of the Queen Mother. The difference is that the reference points or standards of these two people are different. What Li Cong sees is the whole
The world, or the entire universe, is more suitable, but the Queen Mother seems to be more petty in this aspect. What the Queen Mother sees is the same as what Situ Sheng said. What this woman sees is her family, although she is also the highest official in the empire.
One of the leaders, but it is undeniable that the Queen Mother has no direct descendants in the royal family. In the past, when the Crown Prince was around, the Queen Mother could see a lot of hope. After all, the relationship between the Crown Prince and him was very good.
Yes, now the prince is gone, and the emperor is in such a situation with the queen mother. The queen mother no longer has any scruples. Li Cong has also read her letter to Situ Sheng. This woman did not ask about the front line at all.
No matter how the situation was, she was thinking about the millions of troops in the western Jing camp, and she urged Situ Sheng to go back every time.
"Okay, talking so much has no practical use at all. Since you feel that you have reached your dream now, then do more meaningful things. The most meaningful thing for us now is that we can hold on to it.
Here, then we can give the savages a fatal blow. You have also seen how sharp the savages' attack is. I can see that their minds are not so stupid this time. Just look at what they can do
Just find the Behemoth. Our methods have been exhausted time and time again. I really don’t know what else we can do if they can quickly change their tactics after repelling the attack of the Behemoth next time.
There is a way." Li Cong was a little depressed. To be honest, he was not very afraid of the savages at first, but after this incident, Li Cong was really a little afraid of them. His mind was spinning so fast.
Or is it not a beast?
Situ Sheng looked at Li Cong in surprise. He originally thought that this was Li Cong's last trump card. It seemed that this guy still had many things that he didn't know. Indeed, Situ Sheng thought of those black things, those
Things are the most deadly things. A little bit can make all those rocks explode. Situ Sheng nodded and went down to do things. There are a lot of things they have to do now, and there may not be anything like it next time.
So lucky for you, these beasts don't care about human rights.
