Chapter 126: Overseers

Sure enough, at Rudan's insistence, the Governor was in charge of both armies with acquaintances.

The new battalion of the Blood Qi Army is now commanded by Zou Shuangwen, the son of Zou Ying, the defender of Danyang City, who is in charge of one of the most complex armies in the country. According to the Dongping military system, there are soldiers from all over the country in Danyang's city defense army, and there are changes every year, although such an army will not be a threat to Danyang and the royal family because of the dominance of any party's power, but it is not so reassuring in terms of combat effectiveness. He was able to command the Danyang City Defense Army for as long as 10 years, and always kept the combat effectiveness of the City Defense Army at a relatively high level, whether it was the experience and ability in command and training, or the ability to coordinate different opinions from all sides, Zou Ying was quite extraordinary. And from such a family, under the influence of his ears and eyes, Zou Shuangwen also has quite admirable opinions on how to bring the new battalion of the Blood Qi Army, which is full of children of the family and young people from different backgrounds, into an army that can meet the requirements of the Blood Qi Army.

And the commander of the forbidden army is the son of the Zhuo family, Zhuo Xianchen. Zhuo Xianchen is the kind of strange guy who doesn't have much else in his mind besides loyalty to the royal family, and when he was in charge of the three thousand forbidden troops under him, he was strict or strict. These 3,000 forbidden troops have an extremely outstanding and consistent performance in any of the contents mentioned in the forbidden army drill regulations, and the military appearance and discipline of the 3,000 forbidden troops are almost impeccable. However, this army just lacks a little aura. Everyone had no doubt that Zhuo Xianchen and such an army would be the most reliable force in a critical situation, but if such an army, even if they were cavalry like the three thousand Blood Qi Army recruits, it would be a bit unsure to let such an army perform technical tasks such as scouts, sentinels, and raids.

For these young people who have lived in Danyang for many years, the restaurants in Sufeng Town do not seem to be of high grade, and there is no food they like. So, after the inspection. The banquet of the senior officers and the governor was simply placed in the barracks, and the many officers of the Blood Qi Army were quite a few children of families, and there were a lot of good things in their respective camps, and it was also a rather sumptuous banquet.

Both Zhuo Xianchen and Zou Shuangwen had realized something during the whole day of inspection, and they both felt that the other party's army had a lot to learn from them. While preparing for the dinner, the two of them chatted in private, exchanging their views on military training.

Drink wine and eat meat around a large campfire. Occasionally, some officers stuff the table with local specialties, and this atmosphere may be more relaxed than that of a restaurant.

"General Zhuo, do you have any thoughts after watching it today?" Ye Tao asked.

Zhuo Xianchen's back straightened, and he said seriously: "The last general has learned a lot from the Blood Qi Army. The Blood Qi Army is worthy of being the strongest army in Dongping, and many small places seem inconspicuous, but they are extremely crucial. Zhuo Xianchen mentioned the very famous time when the Blood Qi Army ordered to rest. The order that there should be no order and no salute, and with his years of experience in the forbidden army, he naturally understood the impact of this relaxation on the soldiers' rapid recovery energy. But he also mentioned that the hierarchy of the forbidden army was much stricter than that of other armies, and that this order could only be enforced in wartime. Another example is the blood qi army's various individual equipment and group equipment. There are many more types than the Forbidden Army. The cavalry of the forbidden army were allowed to carry their favorite individual melee weapons when fighting, but the Blood Qi Army combined the opinions of all parties and developed a cavalry sword that is still dedicated to the Blood Qi Army. This kind of cavalry sword with a lot of absolute ergonomic design is a bit weird, and Zhuo Xianchen quickly discovered its value. What Zhuo Xianchen appreciated even more was the transition between the democratic process of briefing-discussion-decision-making in the Blood Qi Army and the resolute execution of orders without hesitation or hesitation.

Zhuo Xianchen's praise made Zou Shuangwen a little embarrassed. All the systems of the Blood Qi Army are the result of the efforts of all the Blood Qi Army, although the Blood Qi Army has idol powerful generals such as Dai Yun and Chi Lei in military command, and there are a large number of backbone officers with their own characteristics, but in the formation of many systems of the Blood Qi Army, everyone has merit. The way of thinking of discovering problems, discussing problems, analyzing problems, and solving problems has become a habit for everyone.

Zou Shuangwen smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I'm praised by my lord." Compared with the forbidden army, the Blood Qi Army has many inferiorities. The three thousand sergeants under the command of Lord Zhuo advanced and retreated like a man's might. We are beyond reach. ”

During today's inspection, the most impressive thing about the forbidden army was the consistency of its tactical movements. During the drill, one of the items was to pull the bow five times in a row, and with Zhuo Xianchen's loud order, the sound of the bowstring vibrating in the entire school field was so consistent that everyone had an unbelievable feeling.

"Since you both see each other's strengths, that's fine. Different armies. There are different styles. There are different strengths and weaknesses, and in the end who is strong and who is weak. It's hard to say. Everyone says that the Blood Qi Army is the strongest army in Dongping, and that is because the Blood Qi Army has the actual achievements of fighting behind enemy lines before, and has been developing its strengths. If you want to find weaknesses and deal a fatal blow to the enemy, perhaps there are few armies in the whole Dongping now, or even in the whole world, that can be compared to the Blood Qi Army. However, the Blood Qi Army, at least for now, may not be able to play the role in the decisive battle of the large army, and may not be able to withstand a long and bitter battle. The Blood Qi Army is good at attacking, but in terms of toughness and patience, it is not necessarily comparable to the Forbidden Army. Others say that the Blood Qi Army is the strongest army, although it makes sense, but the Blood Qi Army can't be taken seriously, and the forbidden army can't be taken seriously. Let's just say a little bit, the cost of the Blood Qi Army, evenly distributed to the heads of each soldier, is more than three times that of the Forbidden Army, if the Blood Qi Army can't have some places longer than the Forbidden Army, then the person in charge of the Blood Qi Army should be pulled out and beheaded. Ye Tao said solemnly, "You see each other's strengths, that's because the other party has done something that you haven't done, or ......" Ye Tao said skillfully, "It's something that you haven't done for the time being." Do you have the confidence to learn from each other's strengths and do things that none of your colleagues in your respective parts have been able to do? ”

Zhuo Xianchen and Zou Shuangwen stood up in unison, and responded with a majestic posture: "Yes! ”

Ye Tao's eyebrows raised and said, "Sit down, sit down...... and it is not to give you orders, nor to make you military orders. I'm first and foremost your peers...... All right. I'm a few years younger than both of you...... Then your boss. ”

Lu Dan said in due course: "Then from tomorrow, the competition between your two armies will begin." In addition to the item-by-item assessment according to the military department's code of conduct, both of you have the right to propose items to be tested, and you can challenge each other in what you are good at. The other party can only decide when to fight, either admit defeat or give themselves time to strengthen certain aspects of training. All the test items of the two armies will be scored cumulatively, and one will be conducted every three days. The total score is summarized once a month. There is a reward for those who win, and for those who lose, hehe, wash the clothes for the day for the winner...... Socks, in particular, must be washed. What do you think? ”

Although Zhuo Xianchen is sometimes a little resolute, he is still very competitive. As for Zou Shuangwen, he fell in love with this atmosphere of competition throughout every detail from the day he joined the Blood Qi Army, and he was even more excited. The two looked at each other. He replied cheerfully, "Yes." ”

Ye Tao toasted to the two of them and said, "Then it's decided, starting tomorrow, your competition will officially begin." The competition will be arbitrated by Lu Dujun, if you think there is something about Lu Dujun that is not fair. Just come to me, don't feel offended by your boss, and don't feel embarrassed. It's normal to change referees. Didn't General Zhuo beat the referee in the palace polo match back then? Get that momentum. General Zou. You are the general of the Blood Qi Army, and you must understand the rules of arbitration and complaints in any competition, so I won't say much. ”

Lu Dan didn't have any discomfort because of such a topic, and his understanding of the army was really not as profound as people like Zhuo Xianchen and Zou Shuangwen at present. In terms of the arbitration criteria for some items, there will definitely be inconsiderate aspects in the distribution of score weights for some items. Ye Tao had already told him about this, and he felt it himself. Through communication and even disputes with two generals with different tendencies, he will definitely be able to improve his military ability in a short period of time. Every time there is a dispute in this regard, it shows that he lacks knowledge and ability in a certain aspect, and this dispute is not the right thing for Lu Dan, who has set his future goals relatively high, so that he will not feel offended.

"I, the Overseer, was promoted from Governor to Overseer by nepotism, and that is what makes one a man enlightened. Chicken dog ascends to heaven. There are a lot of things I don't understand yet. The two generals have a lot of guidance. Come, I'll give you a drink. Lu Dan said boldly.

"Don't let your uncle hear you. Otherwise, he will kill you. Zhuo Xianchen and the Lu family were also quite familiar, and he laughed. Lu Dan's words wiped out his identity in the local government.

Suddenly, Zhang Xunyong, who led the 5,000 city defense army who hadn't said a few words all day today, suddenly interjected: "The two generals are very heroic, and the last general is deeply admired, I don't know if the sons and daughters under my command can also participate in such a competition." ”

Zhang Xunyong is already in his 50s, and he is one of the few veterans in Dongping who has climbed step by step from a grassroots soldier to the status of a general. If he didn't have the opportunity to run into a war and have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, he who had just been promoted to the post of commander of the 5,000 city defense army might have to retire in such a position in a few years. Although he knew that the 5,000 soldiers under his command came from three different regions, the run-in between them was limited, and the intensity and quality of training were much different from those of the Forbidden Army and the Blood Qi Army, but he was unwilling to be subordinate, and even more unwilling to be marginalized by the Governor as a second-rate army.

Ye Tao understood what Zhang Xunyong meant, and when he looked at Lu Dan, it happened that Lu Dan also had an inquiring look. Ye Tao immediately made a decision: "It's best for the old general to have such an idea, do you need to train for a period of time before participating in the competition?" ”

Zhang Xunyong smiled heartily and said, "No, let them wash their socks to have their hearts." Besides, if we really go to the battlefield, can we tell the enemy that our unit is not well trained, so let's go back and practice first? There is absolutely no such reason. To compare, to compare from the beginning. The old man thinks that he can train another iron army for adults. ”

Ye Tao picked up the wine glass in his hand and said sincerely, "Thank you, old general." Please fill this cup to your heart's content. ”

After drinking it all, Ye Tao said indifferently: "The burden of Lu Dujun is heavier." Tripartite arbitration is not a good job. However, no matter what the outcome is, I believe that it will not be long before we, the Canal Governor's Palace, which no one expects us to fight, will have three strong armies. It's really a blessing for Dongping. With the generals, I can also implement the canal affairs as soon as possible. I'm a layman in the military, please. There are so many strange things in the Canal Governor's Palace. Hey, Governor, there's always something to do, somebody has to do...... The word Governor could not be more appropriate. ”

Ye Tao's modest self-deprecation caused another burst of laughter. Maybe Ye Tao, the governor, is not majestic enough, but he has also won everyone's respect.
