General Zhang couldn't help but think of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess decades ago. She fought with her father and brother, and lived in the barracks with these men for a long time. And when it comes to marching and fighting, they are not lost in the slightest. The resourceful use of soldiers is unparalleled in the world.

Later, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess retreated from the front line, and General Zhang once felt regretful that there were no more women in the court, such as the strategy of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.

Until he heard about Chu Nanyue, such a number one person. When the Tanglin army returned victoriously, Chu Nanyue personally explained the identity of his woman, and then was regarded by the emperor as a general of Xuanwei.

It is precisely because of this that General Zhang has long had the intention of visiting Chu Nanyue. But I heard from the people in the military department that Chu Nanyue had no one in his eyes, and once he gained power, he cut off contact with the original Chu family, and he didn't even recognize his relatives. And in the court, there are few ministers who are good friends with Chu Nanyue.

General Zhang was suspicious of Chu Nanyue because of their words, so although he paid attention to Chu Nanyue, he had no intention of taking the initiative to make friends.

Until this time, Zhao Jingyu asked the emperor for orders to increase the number of garrisons on the outskirts of Beijing to 50,000, and his 20,000 troops were also under Chu Nanyue's command.

Old General Zhang had already intended to test Chu Nanyue. And when he talked about it today, he knew that Chu Nanyue was not what was rumored.

Chu Nanyue respects him very much, and he is also courteous to the soldiers, so he can be called a good general. She doesn't have any arrogant attitude, if you want to describe it, she should say that she is extremely smart, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Chu Nanyue has the demeanor of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.

"General Chu. I know you're saving face for me. I, Zhang, have always been, and when others respect me, I respect others. In the garrison on the outskirts of Beijing under your rule, I have seen all the innovations in the past few months. Just now I took someone to look around, in fact, I already admired it in my heart. General Zhang said.

Chu Nanyue couldn't help but be a little flattered when she heard this praise.

An old man like General Zhang, a military general in the DPRK and China, actually praised her, what a privilege.

Chu Nanyue only felt that being recognized by him was more valuable than her position as a general.

So Chu Nanyue said: "Old General Zhang has won the award." This so-called innovative move is only made by me on the basis of my predecessors. Although I am young, I have heard of the great exploits made by General Zhang on the bloody battlefield and following the emperor. ”

Although Chu Nanyue has been practicing martial arts since she was a woman, she disguised herself as a man. But he really had respect and reverence for the officers and men in the army for five years in that barracks.

When he first entered the barracks, he was not familiar with everything. And the other generals around him, in addition to marching and fighting, told him the stories of some old generals, including General Zhang.

The foundation of thousands of years is nothing more than the struggle of the kings and generals of the past dynasties, which can be slowly created. Chu Nanyue knows this very well.

It's a pity that General Zhang is already old, and in the past five years of campaigning, the imperial court has sent many young soldiers to charge into battle. A veteran like him has been relegated to the second line and assigned to train the army in the rear.

Now it can be described as a coincidence, under the operation of the Ministry of War, Chu Nanyue and General Zhang have become colleagues.

"Old General Zhang. I'm so young that I can't afford to be hasty. In the future, if there are any mistakes in the management of the army, you can point them out one by one. Chu Nanyue said seriously.

This is a sincere word, and General Zhang does not have to reply to her perfunctorily.

So General Zhang nodded: "General Meng Chu trusts." I will know everything. ”

The two finished talking.

Chu Nanyue considered that General Zhang was old after all, and his health was not as good as that of young adults, so he privately sent Zhou Yuanqi to personally arrange all the matters of General Zhang, and strive to make General Zhang live more comfortably in the army.

And the 20,000 soldiers also settled down in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.

After dealing with these things, Chu Nanyue still had no intention of resting.

Because on the school field, there are still 10,000 soldiers waiting for his dispatch.

When Chu Nanyue passed, the soldiers who had been newly recruited into the barracks were gathering there, discussing things gossipingly.

If it was in the battle, Chu Nanyue would never use such a soldier. Because they have no experience, they have to teach everything from scratch. There is no room for fire on the battlefield, and there is no room for military aircraft to be delayed.

However, after all, now is a time of peace, and their main role is also tuntian.

So Chu Nanyue finally accepted these 10,000 people as a new soldier who joined the army.

Chu Nanyue listened to the noisy sounds they made. I couldn't help but raise my voice and said loudly: "Brothers, please be quiet." You must know that as soon as you enter the barracks and officially join the army, you will be iron-blooded soldiers, and you will be on the battlefield in the future. Don't be as contemptuous as you used to be. ”

As soon as the words fell, a soldier spoke up: "General Chu, everyone knows that we were requisitioned and only used as Tuntian soldiers. Where did the bloody battlefield come? ”

Many of them find this a bit humiliating. They were originally farmers and were responsible for farming at home. Who knew that he was called to become a soldier, and he still couldn't escape this.

In fact, most of them want to be real hot-blooded men, so they are a little disappointed with the current result.

"I see what you mean." Chu Nanyue said. "But you have to think about it, now is the time of peace, not to mention you, even the army under my former command is now in charge of the tuntian. Why do you despise yourselves so much? What's more, once the war breaks out again in Tanglin, you will be a barrier for Tanglin. You can protect Tanglin and protect the capital. ”

This is really a serious matter. I can't tolerate them here, with such a contemptuous attitude. Chu Nanyue knew. This must be made clear from the outset. Even if it is a tuntian soldier, they must have strict military discipline. It is unlikely that the military discipline will be lenient to them.

Those soldiers may have realized it. His eyes looked straight at Chu Nanyue, and he listened to Chu Nanyue's continued instructions: "From tomorrow, I will order other soldiers in the army to take you to practice in the school field." You can ask the old men about everything. ”

Because the number is sufficient, Chu Nanyue can even let the soldiers train one-on-one. It's safer that way.

The soldiers present understood what she meant. He asked again: "General Chu, I don't know when it is better to gather?" ”

Chu Nanyue smiled slightly: "In our army." It has always been necessary to assemble at the school yard at the end of the day. ”

"Why, can't you do it?" Chu Nanyue glanced at the soldiers whose expressions had changed, and asked lightly.

"Everything is subject to General Chu's orders!" Everyone replied in unison.

The soldiers were obviously a little surprised. They didn't expect that even the Tuntian soldiers. Mil-spec can be so harsh. So their attitudes couldn't help but become more serious.
