Zong Tianwei looked at Wandong and said with a smile, "Yao Ting, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush between you and me!"
Wan Dong hummed and said, "Uncle Zong, I want to build an army that can fight to the death against the Iron War Dynasty and defend the territory of my empire in the future!"
In front of outsiders, Wan Dong had to consider all aspects and could only mention the guards, not the army. But in front of Zong Tianwei, Wan Dong didn't have so many worries and said frankly.
"Build an army!?" Even though Zong Tianwei had already made some preparations, he couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard what Wandong said.
Zong Yang and Zong Qinghe looked at each other, especially Zong Yang, who was excited and admired. What does it mean to dare to think and do something? His boss is it. Establishing an army is something ordinary people would never dare to think about, but Wandong has already taken action.
"Yes! Facing the aggressiveness of the Iron War Dynasty, only by building an army strong enough to sweep all directions can we completely extinguish their ambitions, maintain the security of the territory, and ensure the tranquility of the people!"
"Yao Ting, but you have to know that building an army is not just playing house. It is by no means an easy task..."
"Of course it's not easy! But Uncle Zong, everything depends on people! I believe that as long as you are determined, it is possible to solve any difficult problem!"
Looking at Wandong's confident look, Zong Tianwei's heart seemed to have lit up a fire, causing his blood to boil.
"Dad, I think being a general is more prestigious than being the leader of the Qinglong Gang." Just as Zong Tianwei was hesitant, Zong Yang suddenly shouted excitedly. It seemed that he was infected by Wandong, with an eager look on his face. It was as if he was already a general riding a tall horse, leading a flood of soldiers towards the enemy camp.
Zong Yang blurted out out of sheer excitement, but it directly hit the soft spot in Zong Tianwei's heart. Thinking of his deep frustration and emotion in front of Xiao Zuo's tomb, Zong Tianwei's heart suddenly brightened.
yes! Isn't this an excellent opportunity for the Qinglong Gang to step out of the darkness and into the sunshine? Through countless businesses, the Qinglong Gang may be able to give its disciples a prosperous life, but it is difficult to give them dignity and glory. No matter how many good things they do, they will still bear the name of thieves and infamy for the rest of their lives!
"Yao Ting, what do you want me to do?" Zong Tianwei didn't think for long before he made up his mind and took his brothers to try again to see if they could create a clear sky!
Looking at Zong Tian's powerful eyes, Wandong knew that he had made a decision. A smile appeared on his face and he said, "To build an army, the most important thing is to have sufficient soldiers. The Qinglong Gang has tens of thousands of disciples, which is an excellent source of soldiers!"
"Hahaha... Do you want to recruit soldiers among my disciples?"
Wan Dong did not hide it, nodded heavily and said, "Exactly!"
"Okay! You can take all my disciples away, I can't wait to do so!"
Wandong smiled and said, "If I take all your disciples away and join the army, what will happen to the Qinglong Gang? Wouldn't it be gone?"
"If it's gone, it's gone! I've already thought about it. After all, this gang is something that can't be put on the stage. If it's gone, it's gone. There's nothing to regret."
Wan Dong shook his head and said, "Under the name of the Qinglong Gang, there are countless industries that support many people, many of whom are ordinary people. Once the Qinglong Gang disbands, they will definitely be impacted and trouble will occur." of."
"Then what should I do? I can't take off my hat as a gang leader, can I?" Zong Tianwei frowned.
Wan Dong smiled and said, "The Qinglong Gang is a gang in the hands of people like Han Shiqi. In the hands of Uncle Zong, it is a group that is beneficial to the country and people's livelihood!"
"I see essentially no difference between a group and a gang. No one would pick on words like you!" Zong Tianwei waved his hands repeatedly.
"It is true that the common people cannot detect the difference, but the imperial court can! Those who are not recognized by the imperial court are gangsters, and those who are recognized by the imperial court are beneficial groups! As long as the imperial court says that the Qinglong Gang is good and white, In the eyes of ordinary people, the Qinglong Gang is good and white! Uncle Zong, in fact, we ordinary people in the Qingyun Empire are very simple and very good!"
Zong Tianwei was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Wandong was preparing to use the power of the imperial court to rectify the name of the Qinglong Gang. For Zong Tianwei, this kind of thing is simply a dream, but for people like King Dingshan who hold the power of the empire, it is just a matter of words. Zong Tianwei's eyes suddenly lit up. Being able to retain the Qinglong Gang, his life-long effort, and being able to live upright and walk in the sunshine, this is undoubtedly the most perfect ending!
"Yao Ting, why do you have so many twists and turns in your belly? And how did you get such a brain?" Zong Tianwei kept giving Wan Dong thumbs up while praising him repeatedly. .
Wan Dong smiled and was not distracted by Zong Tianwei's praise, and continued, "Besides, there are tens of thousands of Qinglong Gang disciples, and I can't eat them all at once. At the beginning, I could only choose from among the Qinglong Gang disciples, Ten thousand people have been carefully selected, and the rest need to be settled by Uncle Zong.”
"Only ten thousand people, is that enough? Is it too many or too few?" Zong Tianwei frowned. You know, let alone the distance, let's just say that each of the three powerful armies defending the capital is more than a dozen. There are 200,000 people, and Wu Jinhun, who has the largest number, has an army of 300,000 under his command. A mere ten thousand is really a bit petty.
Wan Dong smiled bitterly and said, "Soldiers are better than more. If they are trained properly, ten thousand elite soldiers can still influence the situation of the battle. Besides, building an army is really a money-consuming thing. It only costs more than ten or two hundred thousand. I can There’s not that much money. Besides, the National Master won’t agree to it if it’s too much!”
When Wandong said this, Zong Tianwei understood. Money is not the problem, the attitude of the national teacher is the biggest problem. This is Wandong, with Xu Wenchuan standing behind him, and he has a special status. If it were him, even if he built an army of 10,000 people, let alone more than 100,000 or 200,000, Qiu Wanli would kill him immediately! In the capital city, an army of more than 100,000 or 200,000 people suddenly appears, and all the balance will be interrupted instantly. All relevant stakeholders will not agree. At that time, the only result is to be attacked by a group of people and die without a burial place!
"Moreover, the disciples of the Qinglong Gang come from all aspects and corners of society. This is an extremely huge resource that even the National Master may not have."
"What resources?" Zong Tianwei asked in surprise.
Wan Dong raised his eyebrows and said loudly, "Resources for gathering intelligence!"
"Collecting intelligence?" Zong Tianwei was stunned again. Facing Wandong who was talking eloquently, he felt that his life was in vain. (To be continued)
