Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 208 What are your positions?

The next morning, Song Yuan's decision yesterday had already caused a big stir.

His nepotism caused many generals to lose their jobs. Naturally, these people were dissatisfied and came to him, hoping that the new prince Song Yuan could give them an explanation!

Song Yuan had just arrived outside the military camp when he was surrounded by a group of burly men.

When these people spoke, their tone was full of grievance.

"Your Highness, you can't do this! We are all generals appointed by General Wei. You dismiss us with just one sentence. Aren't you afraid of disappointing others?"

"That's right, Your Highness. You've just arrived and you've already made changes without authorization. Aren't you afraid of the repercussions that might arise later? Also, our official positions were personally bestowed by General Wei. Even if you're a prince, you have no right to control us, right?"

"Your Highness, you've just arrived at the border and you're already planning to make an example of someone. You want to establish your position, and the brothers all understand. But you've offended so many people at once. Aren't you afraid you might not be able to handle it?"

"Your Highness, I hope you can reconsider. We haven't made any contributions over the years, but we've worked hard. Now, it's like you're just throwing us away after we've done our job. Isn't that disheartening?"

For a moment, everyone at the scene was filled with indignation. Song Yuan's behavior was really too shameless.

What if you are a prince?

The army won’t care about your title!

At most, he is just a fourth-rank official. He wants to transfer us all away with just one sentence. He is simply dreaming!

"enough!"

As everyone finished speaking, their pupils were filled with excitement.

Wang Chao, who was at the front, suddenly roared and his right hand instantly placed on the hilt of the knife.

"Do you know what you are doing? Who gave you the courage to act so recklessly in front of the prince?"

"If anyone continues to shout without distinguishing right from wrong, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Under the suppression from the dynasty, people's emotions finally gradually stabilized.

Faced with such a situation, Song Yuan dismounted and expressed his position immediately.

"Everyone, please come to me. I have no objection to this. After all, I said yesterday that no matter who is in trouble, you can come to me at any time. If you are dissatisfied, you can also come to me to question me!"

"I heard you say just now that someone wants to ask the City Lord of Mohai City to seek justice for you. I would say his influence is not enough. You should just go directly to General Wei. As the commander of the frontier, he will definitely be able to do it!"

In Song Yuan's eyes, these guys in front of him were simply being self-indulgent. They wanted to suppress him through the chief official of a place?

It’s just a dream!

Not to mention the mayor of Mohai City, even if General Wei really came today, Song Yuan would still replace him!

After all, Song Yuan now has absolute control over this army. As long as he does not rebel, even General Wei will have to give him face.

This is something that the emperor has personally appointed!

He had to watch helplessly as a bunch of cowards were walking around in front of him, and he couldn't even dismiss them. If anything unexpected happened, and something happened to the prince, everyone would be in trouble!

Song Yuan thought that General Wei still understood the implications of this matter. With such confidence, he was naturally fearless!

After hearing Song Yuan's arrogant statement, the people who had been demonstrating before were stunned for a moment, feeling unwilling.

But unfortunately, they wouldn't attack Song Yuan, right?

Nowadays, when a group of people gather together and shout, it can still be said that the law does not punish them as a group.

But if Song Yuan is really hurt, no one will escape punishment.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Song Yuan raised his eyebrows and started to provoke them immediately.

"Alright everyone, I've shown you the way. Don't just stand there. You need an answer, and I've already given it to you. If anyone disagrees, you can go find General Wei now!"

"It's barely dawn now. If you're quick, you might be able to make it back before nightfall... Oh, by the way, you don't have the right to use the horses in the barracks anymore. If you rely on your two legs, it will probably take a lot of time to get there and back!"

You bastard, are you forcing us on purpose?

Seeing Song Yuan's words that looked like he deserved a beating, everyone was filled with indignation.

Immediately, several people walked out of the crowd and ran towards the city, clearly preparing to go home to get their horses. No matter what, they would not let Song Yuan get away with it.

Seeing someone taking the lead, the other generals also became eager to take action.

But considering my own financial situation, I can't really just rely on my own two legs to file a complaint, right?

"Everyone, what do you mean by standing here? You can't ask me to arrange a convoy to take you there, right?"

Song Yuan looked at those who stayed behind with an expression of gloating.

In response to his statement, someone finally stood up and confronted Song Yuan.

"Your Highness, I only seek justice, not trouble. I hope Your Highness understands this!"

A young general in his thirties, with an indignant expression on his face, walked out of the crowd and came to the front.

"In the military, the most important thing is to have a strong fist. We have done nothing wrong and have no faults. Your Highness has dismissed us without any comparison. I refuse to accept this!"

"If Your Majesty really wants people to do it willingly, then at worst, you can let me compete with your men. If I lose in the end, I will be willing even if it means holding your horse!"

This person's temperament is neither humble nor arrogant, but Song Yuan has seen many such idiots.

Just like in the command academy where he was in his previous life, there were many people who served as battalion commanders and platoon leaders on the sand table, but in the end they really regarded these positions as their own.

But they don’t know that talking about it on paper is one thing.

But when it comes to actual fighting on the battlefield, it’s a completely different story!

As for these soldiers who were farming, no matter how high their military rank was, even if they were just a captain of a thousand soldiers.

Once on the battlefield, one's official rank will be demoted by at least two levels.

They still regard this as their own thing, they are simply courting death!

"Well, don't rush into the competition. I want to ask you what your official positions are!"

Song Yuan immediately questioned the other party, and the other party spoke clearly.

Immediately afterwards, another person stepped forward and stated his official position. Upon seeing this, the others hurriedly followed.

Soon, Song Yuan understood everyone's confidence.

But compared with the group of people under his command, this group of idiots is not worth mentioning at all!

Song Yuan waved his hand and pushed Huo Jianchuan and others to his side.

Then he gave the order: "Commander Huo, Wang Chao and Ma Han, the three of you should explain to them your previous official positions!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Commander Huo took the lead and roared straight into the sky.

"I am the commander of the Tiger Guards, Huo Jianchuan!"

Wang Chao Ma Han was not to be outdone: "I am the commander of the Imperial Guards, Wang Chao!"

"I am Ma Han, the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guards!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present widened their eyes. The backgrounds of these three people were far beyond everyone's imagination.

In the crowd, the young general who had spoken first suddenly changed his expression.

"Hu Ben Army...you are Commander Huo of the Hu Ben Army!"

Although five years have passed since that humiliating battle, the real Tiger Army has long been disbanded and has become history.

But in the hearts of many frontier generals, the Tiger Guards are still their original pride.

Anyone who can enter the Tiger Guards is a genius picked from hundreds of miles away.

Which one of them, if placed in an ordinary team, would not be a strong man who can defeat a hundred people at once!

For these people on the border, although the Tiger Guards have long since disbanded, their reputation still remains!

Everyone knew very well that compared with the Tiger Guards, they were not even on the same level!

Huo Jianchuan, as the commander of the Huben Army, led a thousand men.

If such a talented general were placed in an ordinary team, it would not be an exaggeration for him to command tens of thousands of people!

Let’s talk about Wang Chao Mahan.

The three words "Imperial Guards" caused an uproar among the crowd.

Everyone knows that those who can join the Imperial Guard are all carefully selected. After all, they are responsible for protecting the emperor.

And he can stand out among these elites and serve as a commander.

The abilities of these three are no less than Huo Jianchuan's.

Compared with them, these three people are only higher, not lower, in terms of ability or previous military rank.

The things that everyone is proud of have now become their shortcomings. What is there to brag about?

Seeing that everyone was stunned and silent for a long time, Song Yuan nodded contentedly and then waved his hand.

"Alright, you guys want to compare, right? Commander Huo, why don't you organize a private fight to see who's the strongest among you? Just tell me the results!"

"And you guys, after the competition, whether you stay or leave is entirely up to you. If you leave, I will definitely not stop you!"

"But let me be clear, if you are defeated by these three men under my command, anyone who remains will have to start from the ranks as an ordinary soldier!"

"Also, if you have the opportunity in the future, you can definitely demonstrate your abilities. As long as I see you, I guarantee you'll be able to make use of your abilities. I've never been stingy with talent!"

Song Yuan didn't care whether this group of people could stay or not. In his opinion, this military camp would continue to function without anyone.

Especially these guys, who have always relied on their seniority to bully others.

Even if I leave now, it may not be a bad thing.

After solving the immediate trouble, Song Yuan came to the military camp alone.

Yesterday Song Yuan arranged for someone to take care of the elderly, weak, sick and disabled.

I originally just wanted to compile a list, but I didn’t expect that after the statistics, there would be some surprises!

Although these people usually make a living by farming, because they have lived long enough, many of them have some unique skills.

Such as masons, blacksmiths, and carpenters.

Anything related to craftsmanship can be found among the old, weak, sick and disabled people.

Upon hearing this, Song Yuan's face immediately showed a look of great joy. Although these people could not achieve great achievements on the battlefield, they might be able to shine in the rear with their skills.

Didn’t I discuss with Fatty Zhao yesterday about opening a workshop near the military camp?

These people are ready-made labor, and we cannot neglect them no matter what!

"After you go down, sort these people into different categories, gather them together, manage them individually, and ensure they have enough food and drink!"

Song Yuan immediately gave orders.

Then he immediately walked out of the barracks and went to look for Fatty Zhao.

Thinking of Fatty Zhao's greedy look, Song Yuan could even imagine how much the fat on his face would tremble after he knew the news.

During this process, Song Yuan looked up and couldn't help but see Mohai City in the distance.

He secretly clenched his fists and made up his mind.

I must find a way to bring all the soldiers in Mohai City under my control!

By then, I will be the only dominant power in the entire Mohai City. Only in this way will I have the capital to compete with others!

Once I finish dealing with the trivial matters at hand, I will turn my original plan into reality.

When the time comes, facing my sugar-coated bullets, I wonder how many people will be able to resist?
