Li Ruoyu's coercion was effective. In the face of life and death, all the warlords finally chose to compromise.
Li Ruoyu did not waste a second and immediately ordered his subordinates to "escort" these warlords to their old troops.
Ever since the four provinces were unified by the Gui army, most of the troops of the warlords had become prisoners and were locked up in different places.
A day later, almost all the warlords had returned to their old troops. Each warlord had a trusted general by his side.
Firstly, it was to monitor them, and secondly, it was to appease the soldiers.
Yunnan, Kunming, in the Dian Army prisoner of war camp.
Long Yun and the others stood high up and looked at the black mass of people below, their eyes filled with unwillingness.
"Why? You don't want to tell me?" It was Li Yun Long who was ordered to watch over Long Yun and the others. He glared at them and growled,"It's better if you don't want to say it. My hands are itching, and the pistol in my waist is about to fall off!”
Long Yun was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted at his subordinates,""Brothers, I'm here today to announce. From today onwards, the Dian Army was completely disbanded. From now on, there would no longer be a Dian Army. The entire Yunnan Province would be under the unified management of Commander-in-Chief Li Ruoyu!”
"Brothers, you are free. From now on, there was no need to fight anymore. Commander Li said that everyone can get the travel expenses to go home, and everyone can get a share of the land. It's your reward for being a soldier for all these years.”
Hu Ruoyu and the others also shouted, disbanding the troops.
The tens of thousands of Dian soldiers were stunned for a long time. Someone suddenly cheered, and many people followed suit.
The troops of the warlords were basically recruited to join the army or because they had no food to eat. If they could live a peaceful life, who would be willing to work for the warlords?
When they heard that they could return to their hometown to farm and live a stable life in the future, many soldiers were so excited that they cried.
Long Yun and the others were very embarrassed. They had thought that many of their subordinates would be furious when they announced the disbandment of the Dian Army. They did not expect them to be so happy.
Li Yunlong laughed at them and said,""Alright, come with me to Kunming. There are still many things that I need you to do next!”
At the same time, in Chengdu, Sichuan, Liu Xiang and the others, under the surveillance of Chu Yunfei and Yu Xiao Qing, announced to the soldiers that the Sichuan army was disbanding.
"In the past, we were all fighting civil wars, causing the people in Sichuan to live in misery. The people could not live and work in peace!”
"But from today onwards, the days of the past are gone forever." "Commander Li will unify the entire Sichuan. There will be no war in the future. Everyone will have their own fields. If you want to do business, there will be someone to protect you.”
Yang Sen also shouted,"From now on, Sichuan will truly become a land of abundance." Everyone, you no longer have to worry about dying on the battlefield!”
After Liu Xiang and the others finished speaking, countless soldiers began to cheer.
"Brigade Commander Chu, are you satisfied with what I said?" Liu Xiang looked at Chu Yunfei.”
"General Liu, you are a righteous man. I can tell from your words that you are a patriotic general." Chu Yunfei nodded.”
Chu Yunfei looked at the Sichuan army." Generals, please come back with me. The commander-in-chief has something to entrust you with!"”
Within two days, all the warlords in the four southwestern provinces were disbanded.
However, according to Li Ruoyu, each troop would retain a very elite troop.
Those who were left behind were all one in a hundred. They were not soldiers or ruffians, but real soldiers.
The Sichuan army had 15,000 soldiers, the Dian army had 10,000, the Qian army had about 10,000, and the Xiang army had 8,000.
Li Ruoyu was very smart. Although he disbanded the armies of the four provinces, what he disbanded were all dregs, and what remained were all elites.
In the future, they would be the sharp swords in Li Ruoyu's hands.
All the warlords returned to Guilin after they were done. This time, Li Ruoyu welcomed them with a smile.
"Thank you all for your help. The four provinces can be peacefully unified.”
Everyone smiled awkwardly. Everything they had done was equivalent to cutting off their own escape route. No one could laugh sincerely.
Li Ruoyu didn't care about their true thoughts and said indifferently,""Since everyone is already in the same boat as me, I hope that we can help each other from now on!”
"My wish is very simple. Not only do I want to unify the southwest, but I also want to unify all of China.”
"Not only will there be no war in the southwest, but there should also be no war in China!”
Li Ruoyu swept his gaze across the crowd. Not only must we eliminate all the warlords, we must also expel all the foreign powers. Only then can we restore the dignity of China!”
"Therefore, I have decided to expand my army by 300,000.”
Li Ruoyu looked at everyone and said,"Of course, I don't need you to help me gather an army!" As long as I complete my goal, I, the Eight Osmanthus descendants, will be able to do it. I'll provide the manpower, and you guys provide the money and food to support my 300,000 people.”
"You guys live and work in peace and contentment. My troops will conquer the world and return China to peace and prosperity!”
Li Ruoyu swept his gaze across the crowd." I know that as soldiers, everyone has a patriotic dream in their hearts. I wonder if you will support me?"
Liu Xiang was the first to stand up." Commander-in-chief, I used to think that you were no different from us. You were just fighting for territory." But after hearing what you said just now, I was wrong. I was completely wrong. I won't say anything else. Just for your ideals, I, Liu Xiang, will definitely do my part!”
"I'm willing to sacrifice my life to help the commander-in-chief!”
Immediately after, everyone stood up and shouted passionately,"We are willing to work together to help the commander-in-chief!”
Li Ruoyu's blood boiled at this moment. He laughed boldly,""Good! From now on, I see that no one in the world dares to say that our southwest has no strong men!”
