There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Could it be that I have missed something?

At this time, I saw Village Master Liu of Xiangjiang River hesitantly said to the pottery merchant: "One Piece, that...what you said is very correct, in my opinion, One Piece is sincere to us, it must be You won't treat me badly, brothers... But Lao Liu, I still want to ask One Piece King, if I surrender to One Piece King and join the army, then how will the Thief King treat us, the heads of thieves? We people... Hehe, to be honest, we are as close as a family to the existing brothers."

On the other side, the village master Guan also nodded vigorously: "One Piece, the boys under my old Guan are used to being undisciplined and chivalrous. If there is no restraint from Lao Tzu, I really don't know what will happen if I join the army. The troubles are all ignorant masters who dare to overthrow the sky, and it is impossible for no one who understands to take care of them!"

All the people chattered in unison.

The pottery merchant was puzzled when he heard the words, but he didn't know why.

What is this all about?We're talking about the same thing, right?

You also asked me how to treat you bandit chiefs. What's not clear about this? It must be that everyone has a military position!

Are they all pig brains? No need to ask!

Tao Shang just wanted to answer Liu Zhaizhu, what kind of official positions such as school lieutenant and military marquis, Tao will not be stingy, but just as the words were about to be spoken, Tao Shang's mind suddenly woke up.

After a little thought in his mind, he immediately understood the true intentions of these water thief leaders.

They are not thinking about those military positions, but they are afraid that after being gathered into a navy army, they will no longer have the right to control the people under their command.

People are all people who are greedy for power. Although they joined the Danyang navy, they have no shortage of food and drink, and they can be converted into official positions, but the majestic status of sitting in one side in the past and commanding the [-]th cub under their command, I'm afraid it will disappear from now on, and maybe after a long time, all the water thieves under his command will be gathered by the pottery merchants, and no one can use these water thieves under his command, let alone their power and status...

Think about the pitiful outfits of those water thieves outside just now like beggars and beggars...

Looking at the tent at this moment, the owners of the water village in front of me, all of them are full of oil, and their faces are full of nutrition.

If all their cubs were included in the Danyang County Navy, who would these bastards exploit in the future?

This is what they are most worried about.

The anger in the potter's heart rose up.

Lao Tzu promised you official and military positions, are you still not satisfied?Why, you still want to be an official, but also want to manage those people under your own control?

Judging by their looks, it seems that they really think so!

After submitting to the pottery merchants as the commander of the water army in Danyang County, they can also manage the original subordinates separately, just like their own private soldiers, and continue to exploit them.

If this is the case, what will become of the navy system in Danyang County?It's just a daydreaming idea!

If it were changed to the past, the pottery merchant would definitely not agree to such a condition.

It's just a joke, nonsense!

But now that the battle is imminent, Yuan Shu's people can dispatch the warships at any time. Once the warships are all in place, and he has not yet settled the deal with the water thief leaders, once Yuan Shu's navy arrives, Jinling City may be destroyed. Facing catastrophe.

The Tao merchant now has a strategy on how to fight Yuan Shu's navy, and these water bandits are an indispensable force. Without them, he would never be sure of defeating Yuan Shu's navy.

What to do, hypocrisy and deception?Pretending to promise them?

But the problem is, gentlemen generally don't lie. Tao is an honest person, how can he lie and deceive others at will?If it is spread out, I'm afraid it will hurt Mr. Taiping's nickname.

But just accepting the rude conditions of these thieves for no reason...

and many more!

The potter squinted his eyes, his brain began to work rapidly, and a strategy of killing three birds with one stone began to gradually form in his mind.

Thinking of this, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Mr. Taiping's mouth.

In this world, the person who wants to make Mr. Taiping suffer is probably not yet born.

Since you want to play, let's have fun.

I saw the pottery merchant smiling and saying to the water thieves who were full of expectations: "Everyone, Tao has an idea at the moment, and I want to share it with you. After you have heard it, if you think it is feasible, we will follow Tao How about this law to establish an army?"

At this moment, Gan Ning could also hear that the thieves in the arena seemed to be trying to be selfish, the Jinfan thieves had a bad temper, and wanted to reprimand these thieves who only cared about themselves and ignored the future of their subordinates, but he kept going Seeing the potter's behavior like this, he couldn't help but wake up, it turned out to be surprisingly silent, but turned his head to look at the pottery in doubt.

The pottery merchant was silent for a while, and said: "Different soldiers and horses should be managed by different military systems. After you and the brothers under your command joined Danyang County, considering the special situation, Tao decided to treat the soldiers who were led by the village masters. The formed Danyang water army is subject to special control, allowing each of the brothers under their command to open the mansion as appropriate."

Everyone was surprised when they heard the words, and hurriedly looked at the pottery merchant, waiting for the next part of his words.

The pottery merchant smiled, pointed at Village Master Liu, and said, "Let's take Village Master Liu as an example. I wonder how many brothers there are under Village Master Liu's command?"

Village Master Liu hurriedly said: "More than 200 people!"

The pottery merchant nodded slowly, and said: "Okay, let's take Village Master Liu as an example. After Village Master Liu returns to Tao, Tao can set aside a county and ask Village Master Liu to use it in his own name in the county. Open the school captain's mansion, and lead the soldiers to sit in it. While training soldiers and horses, they assist the local county magistrate in governing the people's livelihood. It is not impossible for the military and the government to rule the county alone, but if there is a war, everyone needs to lead their own armed forces and obey Tao's arrangement. I don't know the village owners, what do you think of Tao's proposal?"

When the words fell, Zhou Tai and Gan Ning's expressions suddenly changed.

This kid... dare to promise such a promise, is he crazy?

Besides, the captain can also open a mansion?Does this kid really think that these thieves on the water are uneducated?

Gan Ning just wanted to go forward and persuade the potter not to be so self-willed, but suddenly remembered the first time he had an open and honest conversation with the potter.

At that time, the potters threatened and lured them, and their terrified demeanor when threatening him to move bricks... Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Gan Ning's head.

wrong!This kid's idea is definitely not that simple.

Chapter 233 The Formation of the Water Army

Gan Ning was somewhat suspicious of the potter's idea, but the other pirate leaders didn't care about it, they all seemed very excited after hearing the potter's words!

You can join the army, you can garrison the county seat, and you can decide to recruit soldiers and horses on your own. There is even hope that you can rule a county alone in the future!

This fucking is no different from dominating one side and raising private soldiers!It is impossible for ordinary gentry to do it. Looking at the entire Han Dynasty, it is only the most famous families in the world who can do this.

The governor of Danyang is so fucking generous!

Is there something wrong with him, his mind is not normal?

Originally, these water thief leaders only thought that after joining the water army in Danyang County, they could continue to be in charge of their original subordinates, be domineering, and continue to exploit them. Great deal!

It's a safe move, and it's worth it!Anyone who refuses to accept the move is a fool!

I saw a group of water bandit leaders headed by Zhaizhu Liu, all of them showed joyful expressions, cupped their hands one after another, and said loudly to Tao Shang's righteous words: "Your Majesty is so righteous, what hope do we have? There is no other word, from now on, I will serve the prince with all my strength!"

The pottery merchant nodded with satisfaction, and praised: "In this way, the merchant will not treat you badly, you will wait and see in the future."

Although there was a warm and affectionate smile on the potter's face at the moment, but he was already sneering secretly in his heart.

Don't be shy, sooner or later let you find your own position.

Among all the people, only Gan Ning and Zhou Tai did not answer this question.

Gan Ning had a good understanding of the potter's true nature, while Zhou Tai felt that this matter was too absurd.
