Chapter 188
On the school grounds, Wang Yong, the temporary chief of the guard appointed by Tan Lun, was leading the soldiers of the guard for drills.

"When the two armies are fighting, there is not much difference in equipment, morale, and numbers. One side's army is tightly formed, while the other side is extremely scattered and out of formation."

"There is no doubt that the final result must be that the side with the tightest army will win! And this will greatly increase your chances of surviving the battlefield."

After Wang Yong finished speaking, he corrected the actions of the soldiers on the side.

Just as he was about to continue practicing, he caught sight of Tan Lun and his party from the corner of his eye.

"This subordinate has seen the governor!"

Wang Yong immediately ordered the soldiers to rest where they were, and then trotted all the way to Tan Lun, saying respectfully.

"Well, you did a good job. You turned the situation around so quickly. I didn't misunderstand the person!"

Tan Lun turned his gaze to the visitor, and encouraged him.

"Where, it's all thanks to the governor! If it weren't for the governor, our salary hasn't been settled yet."

For Tan Lun's praise, Wang Yong seemed a little flattered, and hurriedly said modestly.

"Call everyone together, I have something to announce to everyone next."

Immediately afterwards, Tan Lun turned his gaze to the soldiers on the other side of the school field, and ordered softly.

"Yes, Lord Governor! This subordinate will give orders now."

After Wang Yong finished speaking, he ordered his subordinates to go to beat the drums and gather soldiers!

This time, the soldiers gathered very quickly, and all of them had assembled before the third drum sounded.

Tan Lun looked at the soldiers under the stage, who were neatly lined up and unusually quiet, and exuded a vague sense of murder, and couldn't help but smile on their faces.

"This is much better than the last time I came here. Sure enough, we still have to solve the payment problem as soon as possible!"

After Tan Lun sighed in his heart, he cleared his throat, turned his eyes to the soldiers in the audience, and said loudly.

"My official is Tan Lun, governor of Fujian Province. Most of you must already know me!"

"I am here this time because I want to announce two things to everyone."

After Tan Lun finished speaking, he paused for a moment. Seeing that the faces of the soldiers in the audience were full of expectations, he said slowly.

"The first thing I want to say is related to your salaries."

Seeing Tan Lun mentioning the salary issue that everyone was quite concerned about, everyone in the audience raised their hearts in their throats. They were both excited and scared!
He was afraid that his expectations would fail, and that the governor in front of him would fail their trust.

However, what Tan Lun said next did not disappoint them.

"Before this, the official has already calculated the owed salaries of you all, and personally wrote a memorial, sent it to the cabinet, and urged them to transfer the money as soon as possible!"

"If you count the days, you should have already reached the cabinet."

"Therefore, you don't have to worry, the payment in arrears will be paid in full at one time!"

After Tan Lun finished speaking, his mouth felt a little dry, and the personal guard at the side saw this and quickly handed him a bowl of tea.

Tan Lun took the teacup and drank the tea in it.

As for the soldiers in the audience, after hearing the news, they were silent like death, and then burst into enthusiastic cheers.

"quiet!"

Wang Yong turned around, looked at the soldiers under the stage, and said in a deep voice.

As soon as Wang Yong's words fell, the soldiers in the audience fell silent, but there was still an excited expression on their faces.

If these soldiers had doubts before, Tan Lun's words now completely dispelled their doubts!It is equivalent to giving them a shot in the arm.

After all, not all officials take their appeals to heart. Maybe they agree today, but forget about it tomorrow.

"Thank you, Lord Governor, for making decisions for us!"

Wang Yong at the side said that, and knelt down first.

"Thank you, Lord Governor, for making decisions for us!"

After Wang Yong, the rest of the soldiers also knelt down on the ground, their faces were full of respect, and they looked at Tan Lun with a little fanaticism.

For these soldiers, Tan Lun is their savior!Not only willing to listen to their appeals, but also down-to-earth, step by step to solve these problems.

Among other things, Tan Lun dared to make a promise to these soldiers, promising to make up all the salary owed within one month, if not, he would resign from the post of governor of Fujian.

This kind of courage is also very rare in the entire officialdom.

And this just confirms the sentence: "The king treats me as a gentleman of the country, and I will repay him as a soldier of the country!"

"Get up, all of you are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, these are what I should do! Next, I hope you will work hard and serve the court better."

Tan Lun seemed to be infected by this emotion, looking at the soldiers in the audience, he said loudly.

"I will follow the governor's order!"

Hearing Tan Lun's words, the soldiers in the audience responded loudly.

"This is just the first thing. I have one more thing to announce next."

Tan Lun suppressed his inner emotions, looked around, and said slowly.

"Governor, please give an order. Brothers will never frown no matter whether it is going up the mountain of swords or down into the sea of ​​fire!"

Seeing this, Wang Yong on the side knelt down on one knee and begged Tan Lun.

"Yes, Lord Governor, give the order!"

After Wang Yong, the soldiers in the audience followed suit.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished my official words yet!"

Tan Lun didn't feel unhappy when everyone interrupted his speech. In his opinion, this was a sign of high morale, and the morale of the army was available!
"Next, I want to give you a chance to make contributions and be rewarded for your contributions."

Tan Lun's voice was not loud, but it made the soldiers in the audience look excited.

"The governor said that he would give us a chance to make contributions, what else could it be? Of course it is to kill people, to kill the enemies of the court, to kill the enemies of the government!!"

Sure enough, what Tan Lun said next was exactly what they had guessed.

"Everyone knows that Fujian suffered from the Japanese pirates' rebellion before. Although it was wiped out by my official and the governor of Zhejiang Province and governor of Zhejiang Province Hu Zongxian! But there are still some remnants."

"And this part of the remaining Japanese pirates colluded with the local bandits, and their actions became more and more rampant!"

"These bandits not only wantonly killed the people, but also robbed them of their property. What's more, they even targeted the government! Right now, these bandits have become a disease in Fujian."

"For the sake of the people of Fujian, I will lead an army in a few days to eradicate all these bandits who are entrenched in Fujian!"

When Tan Lun said this, he paused for a moment, and then added.

"You don't have to hand over the gains you have seized this time! Anyone who participated in this battle will be paid double the salary. In addition, the soldiers who died in the battle will not only receive double the pension, but their families will also be able to receive government compensation. The proper placement!"

"Where there are children in the family, when they reach the right age, they can study in free schools run by the government. If there are elderly people in the family, they will be supported by the government, and they will be cared for until the end of their lives!"

"Okay, there are only two things that I want to explain today. Do you have any different opinions?"

After Tan Lun finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the many soldiers in the audience and asked.

"May I ask the governor, do you really not have to hand over the seized income this time? There is also the issue of double salary and pension, is it true?"

Wang Yong on the side mustered up his courage and confirmed to Tan Lun.

Hearing this, Tan Lun glanced at Wang Yong rather strangely, then turned to the many soldiers in the audience and said loudly.

"I assure you in my capacity as governor of Fujian that all this is true!"

Seeing the guarantee from Tan Lun, the governor of Fujian, the soldiers in the audience were already boiling.

The two news that Tan Lun, governor of Fujian, brought today was too dreamy for them.

First of all, the salary that I had been owed for a long time has been resolved, and secondly, the soldiers who participated in the bandit suppression will not have to hand over the seized income while paying double the salary!If unfortunately killed in battle, there will be double the pension, and the family does not have to worry about it.

Thinking of this, the soldiers in the audience could hardly contain their inner excitement, they wished they could go to suppress the bandits tomorrow!
