The situation Tianzhi County is facing now is more complicated. He was recently defeated and surrounded by Peijiazhuang, with less than a hundred officers and soldiers around him.

The rogue bandits have thousands of people and may attack Peijiazhuang at any time. Of course, they may also directly attack the empty Wenxi County. In either case, Tianzhi County is not willing to see it.

He is in urgent need of troops now. At this time, the Pei family's servants who have a certain level of training (at least better than the current strong men) come into Tianzhi County's sight.

After all, the servants are Pei Zhiyuan's servants and belong to his family's property.

If you directly send someone to take over, the reputation will be unfair, and it will be easily squeezed out by the servants and Pei Zhiyuan, so it will not be effective. The most important thing is that the appearance will be too ugly.

At this time, it is necessary to promote someone from within who can take orders from him.

This person must first have a low enough background. Only in this way can he be easily controlled.

After all, I promoted you, but your previous boss didn't agree. Without me, you can't keep your position. How dare you disobey my orders?

Secondly, you must have some merit, otherwise it will be difficult to get promoted, right?

So the pie fell from the sky and hit Pei Xiaoer on the head.

It has to be said that the officials of the Ming Dynasty raised their internal fighting skills to the full level.

He waved his hand for everyone to disperse. The matter was settled, but Magistrate Tian was still worried about it.

After going back and lying on the bed, Tian Zhixian tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, he thought of the letter and thought that if the bandits went directly to attack Wenxi County, Wenxi County's current military strength would definitely not be able to stop them.

At that time, he would be blamed for losing territory. Thinking of this, Tianzhi County sighed secretly. After all, he was careless in sending troops this time.

The sky turned white, and Magistrate Tian couldn't sit still. He couldn't wait to find Pei Zhiyuan, who had been awake all night.

Last night Pei Zhiyuan's wife, Mrs. Liu, cried and made a fuss all night long. She smashed all the cups, plates, antiques, calligraphy and paintings in the house.

In fact, no one can bear this matter. The Liu family had no children in her life, and Liu Sheng was regarded by her as her own son.

What a nephew, the only remaining nephew. He was called to the front hall alive and kicking, but he came back with only one head left.

Mrs. Liu's spirit collapsed. At dawn, there was no movement, and all that was left was a poor woman sitting on the ground in a daze, looking like a crazy woman.

Pei Zhiyuan sat in a chair without saying a word, and his clasped hands showed that he was not at peace in his heart.

At this time, outside the house, a servant whispered, "Master, we have invited you from Tianzhi County." Maybe the voice was too soft, so he said it again.

After a long time, a voice came from the room, "I understand, you can go down." The servant was relieved and walked away quickly.

"Liu Sheng colluded with bandits and tried to seize our property and kill you and me. By killing him in Tianzhi County, he can be regarded as eliminating harm for us. Please be patient."

Pei Zhiyuan said slowly. Seeing that Mrs. Liu didn't respond at all, he sighed secretly and then strolled out of the room.

Tianzhi County has the authority of the county magistrate and has officers and soldiers in hand, so he dare not offend him.

Pei Xiaoer also didn't sleep for almost the whole night. When he came out of Tianzhi County, Chen Chao stared at him closely, as if he was the enemy who killed his father.

But he didn't dare to violate the decision made by Tian Zhixian and Pei Zhiyuan, at least not now. He now needed to seize the time to win over the more than 20 people he was close to.

In the early morning, Pei Xiaoer looked at the servants lined up in two rows in front of him. There were already more than thirty people in number.

He began to lecture, and the feeling of being an official was so wonderful. "Brothers, I am Pei Xiaoer, and I will be your superior officer from now on..."

"I'm not convinced." Before he could finish his words, a voice from the crowd shouted: "Why do you have to be our superior officer? You've only been here a few days?"

"Whoever shouted this, stand up for me." Pei Xiaoer shouted.

There was some commotion in the crowd, but no one stood up.

"You are a man, you dare not admit it, right?" When Pei Xiaoer was provoked, a big fool appeared out of nowhere, "I am Pei Tietou, and I disobey you. What can you do?"

Looking at this muscular, silly man, Pei Xiaoer felt a little worried.

Generally speaking, it is best to deal with this situation in person, beat him up, and then pretend to be generous and forgive him. The effect will be better, and most people in the military will believe this.

Especially in an army with poor military discipline, whoever has the biggest fist has the final say.

But this method is suitable only if the general has a high force value.

But for a person like Pei Xiaoer, who at first glance adds all his skill points to his intelligence, he shouldn't humiliate himself. Fortunately, he was already prepared.

"Just because I was personally appointed by the magistrate, if you question me, you are questioning the magistrate.

Come on, drag me down and give me twenty army sticks." As soon as he finished speaking, I saw Father Pei and Pei Xiaosan rushing up from the end of the team. Together, they were going to control this stupid guy. At the critical moment, it was my family who were more important.

Reliable.

Unexpectedly, this stupid big man was so brave. Pei Pei and Pei Xiaosan together were a little unable to control themselves, and they seemed to be counterattacked by him.

If the first order cannot be carried out, it will be difficult to establish prestige in the future.

Just when Pei Xiaoer was considering whether to go in person, Liu Changle rushed out of the crowd.

He leaped forward, locked his arms directly around Pei Tietou's neck, and knocked Pei Tietou down with a force.

Liu Zhizu, who was in the team, did not hold back his brother Liu Changle for a moment. Seeing that Liu Changle was already with Pei Tietoubo, he rushed out of the team without hesitation.

Liu Changle is very skilled. With his intervention, he can already suppress Pei Tietou. In addition, Liu Zhizu is sure to win.

Finally, with the combined efforts of the four of them, twenty soldiers were beaten with sticks. Unexpectedly, Pei Tietou still kept yelling and scolding, opening his mouth to refuse, but keeping his mouth shut.

Pei Xiaoer got angry and added twenty military sticks. This time Pei Tietou finally became quiet, his eyes widened but he did not dare to curse anymore.

Looking up and seeing that no one dared to look at him anymore, Pei Xiaoer knew that he had passed this level.

After a fight, it's time to reward. If you reward without punishing, the soldiers will become arrogant. If you punish without rewarding, the army will have no cohesion, no energy and will become lifeless.

Pei Xiaoer ordered his men to send Pei Tietou to the barracks to rest, and publicly stated that Pei Tietou had been punished for his mistakes today.

From now on, he will treat everyone equally and will not retaliate against Pei Tietou just because he once contradicted him.

In addition, Pei Xiaoer used the remaining settling-in money from his recruitment and his monthly salary early in the morning to ask Butler Pei to help buy some meat for the servants.

At this point, under the policy of carrot and stick, the servants reluctantly recognized him as their leader.
