Although the two armies of the Huoqi Army and the Heroic Army are nominally managed by the two armies' future king Tan Weiming, in name, they are responsible for the future king of Dongping. But in fact, Tan Weiming has to learn political strategies and various other affairs with his father. Even if he learns military affairs, the Imperial Guardian will make proper arrangements. He doesn't have much time to check the Imperial Guardian. Other officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Imperial Guardian are not subordinate to each other, and their ranks are similar, so it is impossible to say who will take care of whom. The people from the Princess' Mansion are only Ye Tao's leader. Therefore, in addition to the intermediary officials in the two armies' inspection of the Imperial Guardian, they will do their own jobs and do what they can manage, a very unique situation has been formed: Ye Tao, who has no position, is actually in charge of the two armies' inspection of the Imperial Guardian, who has a total of 6,000 troops, and they are all armys composed of veterans and senior soldiers and officers with poor combat power.

The military affairs are so complicated. Ye Tao, who was only in commanding the army on the chessboard, was really busy with messy things. Fortunately, his senior brother Guan Haishan came to Danyang to help. He had a great interest and enthusiasm for construction and gardening, just took over the supervision of Tiecheng and Danyang New City District; the daily business of Yi Zhan Building was Suo Yong and Suo Zheng, the brothers; and the business of Tissot Watch Market was taken over by Du Fengchi, the young master of the Du family, who has now made the Du family's business in Danyang prosperous.

In terms of wealthy customers, Du Fengchi, who has been in the inn business since childhood, has been qualified than Ye Tao, who likes technology more than people. The most important Ye Family Workshop is now accommodating the title of consulting doctor in the Hundred Works Department of the Ministry of Works, and is very heartwarming by Tan Weixin's affectionate call of his uncle. Ye Laogeng, who decided not to interfere in his son's personal affairs, took the lead personally. Although the Ye family is still facing a situation where there is insufficient staff to stand alone, it also has the momentum of large families and large enterprises moving forward together.

Although the military personnel have been implemented one after another, and the candidates assigned to the two military personnel have also been decided. However, what should I do if the garrison is done? What should I do if the training grounds are discussed? Although there are plans and clauses discussed, how can I supervise the implementation? How should the internal upgrade and demotion system be linked to capabilities and needs at different levels? How much does the commander Qiu Haohui and the governor Dai Yun have to say in this regard? Too many problems need to be solved, but too little time.

After thinking hard, Ye Tao finally decided to organize a marching exercise when the personnel were fully equipped. As the first local army competition, it also allowed those who joined the two armies to be trainee officers to understand that the real army is different.

With the idea of ​​public and private affairs, the destination of this marching exercise was determined to be in Yicheng.

At the beginning, everyone agreed with this idea, but when Ye Tao, Dai Yun and Qiu Haohui discussed and announced the specific evaluation method, the faces of the "intern officers" who were originally excited and inexplicably excited were green. The supervisors and adjutants in the two armies of the Fierce Blood Army and the Huo Qi Army were all exchanged to evaluate the various situations of the other party during the marching. The three thousand people of the two armies were all 300 people and one team, and the intern officers were responsible for all work from the logistics of the baggage to the marching command. The arrangement of the marching was decided entirely by the intern officers themselves. After each team arrived in Yicheng, they were evaluated according to the order of each team to arrive in Yicheng, and the mental outlook and physical fitness when they arrived. What made everyone most helpless was the amount of expenses spent in the marching, which was also one of the contents of the evaluation. When various evaluation contents were listed in detail, each one was the comprehensive evaluation.

After the score calculation method and weight ratio of the assessment content were listed on a list, everyone began to consider what method they should use to win the drill competition. But Ye Tao only gave everyone less than five days of preparation time. During these five days, the intern officers should be familiar with the troops they command, formulate marching and supply plans, and find ways to implement various arrangements... Even for veteran officers, it is not a simple matter. What's more, for those enthusiastic and inexperienced rookies? Qiu Haohui and Dai Yun, because they still have to continue to implement the various arrangements after the two armies with Ye Tao, they will not be included in the list of intern officers for this assessment. This is to consider that Qiu Haohui would not take office for a little time and lose face, making it difficult for the future command of the army, and to prevent Dai Yun, who was too smart and powerful, let the bloody army have too advantage in this attempt to exercise.

Since they figured out that Ye Tao was giving everyone a warning, the supervisors and adjutants were not polite and asked questions everywhere. These veterans may not be as identities as those trainee officers who were mainly children of aristocratic families, but they either harshly or jokingly call out various things. They used guidance or criticism to chase the trainee officers into chaos. The trainee officers who were already confused were even more panicked. So, five days later, twenty teams set out in a hurry under the command of more than 200 trainee officers. Then, Ye Tao, Dai Yun, Qiu Haohui and several officers from the two armies' review office boarded several new, extremely comfortable four-wheeled carriages and rushed towards Yicheng at their own pace.

Sometimes, Lu Dan really didn't know how to evaluate his current boss. Ye Tao, who was a bit strange. Although Lu Dan figured out early that Ye Tao wanted to give those trainees who thought they were already very familiar with military affairs, as a kind reminder to everyone. However, when the marching lasted for a few days and the first batch of feedback information came, he still felt cold on his back. He understood that it turned out that he could be so exciting.

There are certainly some good intentions among the veterans to remind their "main officers", but they are more willing to accept the command of the superior under the guidance of public opinion among their classmates, and come to see the joke. So, when Zeng Zining missed the normal time to bury the pot and cook rice on the first day, he hurriedly set up camp in the wild. As a result, when he woke up the next morning, he found that the entire camp was smelly and suddenly remembered that when he was pulling the command of the soldiers to build the camp, he actually forgot the location of the designated toilet. Han Hanlin thought he could borrow the Dongping Barracks along the way to temporarily stay, but when he arrived at the ground, he found that there was no document proof that they belonged to the Dongping War Department to let them enter the camp, so he had to

He bleeded and put in several inns for the soldiers to move in; Xu Ping ordered the timber to be cut down and built a camp, but was dragged by the owner of the forest to leave early the next morning and had to accept a fine of money... The jokes made were far more than that. Those who did not master the rhythm of the march well and left happily for a day, the next day, were not a big deal. Although he was born in a general, Chi Lei, who had asked his brother Chi Yun to guide him before leaving, all of them went into the mountains and forests. As a result, the whole army was hung in the deep mountains and was frightened by the roar of wild animals for a night. This was a matter of such a thing. The jokes that happened to everyone could make the people watching now maintain a good mood for a long time.

At this time, Ye Tao, who was about to arrive in Yicheng, asked Lu Dan to order the Yicheng City Defense Force to prepare the ground. All the troops arriving in Yicheng rest for an hour and then compete for a physical fitness to test whether each team can immediately switch to the battle after arriving at the destination...

Lu Dan dared to swear that he observed Ye Tao's expression. When Ye Tao made such instructions, his expression was still so faint, and it didn't matter. There was no smirk that was unique to a master who was accustomed to the people. On the contrary, Ye Tao seemed to be worried whether these teams could withstand such tossing and trouble. Two days later, after Ye Tao and his party arrived in Yicheng, accompanied by Governor Peng Detian, he visited the various marching teams that had arrived one after another, and ordered that all the trainees gather together to hold a "criticism and self-criticism" conference, Lu Dan completely dispelled his idea of ​​going to the Fierce Blood Army or the Fire Qi Army as an old corpse to show his skills.

"It hurts one's mind, starves one's body, and acts indiscriminately. Then it moves to one's heart and endures one's nature and improves what one cannot..." Ye Tao's multi-pronged approach can definitely have such an effect, but it's just a little tormenting.

The first one to arrive in Yicheng was indeed the team commanded by Chi Lei. On the last road, Chi Lei set out after noon the day before. Then he traveled starry night and arrived in Yicheng the next morning. However, Chi Lei was completely disguised by the physical fitness test added by Ye Tao. In fact, if he marched according to the normal schedule, he would be the first. But this was an era of extremely underdeveloped communication. He did not know the speed of other teams moving, so he had to try his best to take the lead. The soldiers were exhausted, and after resting for an hour, many people couldn't wake up at all. It would be better to go directly after arriving. Chi Lei, who was crying and tears, looked ugly, and he was so angry that he didn't talk to Ye Tao for a whole day.

The last one arrived was Zeng Zining's team, which made the most stinking joke. This pawnshop apprentice did learn a lot along the way, and later he almost doubted whether his IQ was a problem. However, Zeng Zining was the most cost-effective all the way. Even apart from the agreement with a caravan on the same route, he made a fortune for two days... Of course, this unruly thing will also become an anecdote rather than a beautiful story.

There have been so many jokes and so many embarrassing things. Ye Tao's convening meeting on "criticism and self-criticism" continued from noon to night. This kind of conference that made everyone self-destruct its shortcomings was definitely not a "successful conference and victory conference", but it was full of laughter from beginning to end.

"Is it fun?" After the last intern officer in the team leader finished speaking, Ye Tao stood up, and when the laughter and noise gradually subsided, he asked.

It was fun to say it was fun, it wasn't fun to say it, hesitating and unable to tell what it felt like. There were people looking at each other, and there was no definite answer in the huge banquet hall for a while.

"Everyone knows that the real military affairs are different from the military we learned from books and chess battles. This is why, everyone can read historical books and teach military operations and come up with ideas for defeating the enemy and winning. But the old soldiers who can really control the troops and seize the opportunity to win in the military battle are still those who devote their lives to the battlefield."

"None of us is an old soldier, but we all think, or have thought about the passionate young people who can travel on the battlefield. People with dreams are happy, and those who have the opportunity to practice their dreams or even realize their dreams one day are enviable. However, through this drill, I believe that everyone has a preliminary understanding of how hard this path is. Listening to others repeat countless times, this is not a simple path, and it is not a simple path, and it is not a simple path, and it is not a personal experience. After this time, I don't know how many people here are willing to persist in this path that may lead us to glory and dreams, or to difficulties and death, but it will inevitably be able to shape us to become stronger and stronger."

There was a silence in the banquet hall. Ye Tao continued, "At least, we have learned a lot, so this march has the most practical effect. I would like to ask everyone, will you have another round of competition when you return to Danyang? Are you confident that you can do better than the silly scheming in the past?"

After about a second of silence, the audience burst into warm cheers. For everyone, this is an opportunity, an opportunity to test whether you are suitable for military life and whether you can become a qualified officer, and it also makes the jokes that happen to you become a prelude to success.
