"Very well, that's it. -- Generals, go back today, immediately convey the officer's plan for competitive posts, and be sure to make every soldier's heart clear and clear, if the officer asks which soldier does not know, I will ask you to hold you accountable! Those who keep commanding, Li Jilong is a role model! Did you hear me clearly? ”

All the generals stood up, clenched their fists and arched their hands, and their voices were like thunder: "The last general listens to the order!" ”

"Good!" Leng Yi looked at the party, "You immediately go back to convey the deployment, draft a specific plan for competition for posts, and first conduct a military merit evaluation in the whole battalion,—— and the military merit registration officer of the Sanya will check it on the spot." Judging in public. Ten people with the highest military merit were selected, and the top two were appointed as battalion commanders and deputy commanders. The last eight served as the capital of the trial and punishment court of the capital. The rest of the officers and men of the battalion must participate in physical fitness and martial arts competitions, and the winners will be elected generals and colonels at all levels below the head of the capital. General Party, your specific plan will be sent to me for review and revision before this evening. Tomorrow morning, in your department is the beginning! ”

Dang Jin hurriedly bowed down and agreed: "The last general will take orders!" ”

Leng Yi glanced at all the generals present and said, "Brothers, Ming said that he would go with this officer to the first army of the Xiaomeng Left Wing of the Guards Ma Junsi to observe the selection competition. The newly elected generals who will be decided within the Ming Dynasty will be appointed by the officials themselves! ”

When the people came out, everyone talked about it, some talked and laughed, some shook their heads and sighed, some waited to see the jokes, and some didn't care.

Dang Jin and Zhang Chuan deliberately walked behind the others, and Zhang Chuan said in a low voice: "General, what should we do?" ”

Dang Jin said compassionately: "Ming's selection will be arranged for Li Jilong and them to start, and go back to instigate him again, his violent temper was when Leng Yi wanted to arrest him." He once resisted, and then he was ordered by Leng Yi to be scolded with a cane, and he was slapped and shackled to show the public for more than a month, such a great shame. He would never swallow it. Hehe, when I go back, send him to the hardest and most tiring work, and do it for a day, it will definitely further arouse his anger. Ming said that there will be some more selection, so that he can compete with those young men as an old fellow. Disgraced, further infuriating him. However, although this old guy is old, his physical strength is not bad, especially his martial arts are very high, and he will definitely be elected as the head of the capital. Wait until Ming said that Leng Yi issued an appointment to the winning elected capital. instigated this old guy to rise up and slaughter Leng Yi! His fist can smash the bluestone slab! Can Leng Yi's scholar's head withstand it? Hehe, when the time comes, let's rise up again and kill Li Jilong, won't everything be fine! ”

Zhang Chuan stroked his palms and said: "Clever plan! It's just that Leng Yi said that the whole battalion should first conduct a military merit evaluation. According to Leng Yi, the top two military merits in the whole battalion serve as commanders and deputy commanders, and no longer participate in labor and martial arts competitions, so Li Jilong can't participate in this competition? ”

Dang Jin looked left and right and glared at him: "You pig head!" You won't talk about the selection of military merits first! Tell him. Let's just say that Leng Yi said that his military exploits are a fart, and he must participate in labor and martial arts competitions, otherwise he will be a soldier. Force this old guy to compete, and let him compete with the little soldiers. will provoke his anger even more! ”

Zhang Chuan said with a look of admiration: "The general's clever plan, the last general understands." Hehe, now, he Leng Yi will definitely not escape death! ”

"Hmmm! The key to success or failure is to see how to further provoke the anger of this old guy Li Jilong! ”

The next time, in the morning.

Leng Yi came to the construction site of Jinmingchi with hundreds of high-ranking generals.

This Jinming Pond is full of people, the flags of various numbers are waving in the wind, digging and transporting soil, carrying stones, cutting trees, and busy in an endless stream. Because each army and the Minzhuang team have their own areas of responsibility, which are carried out in sections, and Leng Yi only requires that one-tenth of the area be excavated first, so the personnel are very concentrated, and it is really crowded.

After more than a month, huge artificial lake pits have been dug out on the construction site.

Leng Yi took the generals and officers, under the protection of the escort team, to the construction site of the First Army of the Dangjin Commandery. According to the action plan drawn up yesterday, the scene has been cleared, and the periphery is full of soldiers who are watching and cheering, and they are very excited with their eyes wide open, and they are still the first time they have heard of such a selection of generals, and it is also the first time they have encountered them, and they are eager to try, especially those who are strong and have martial arts, and they are even more excited.

The viewing platform of Leng Yi and those high-ranking generals was set up in the upper part of the huge artificial lake that had been excavated, and the labor and martial arts competition was carried out in the field below. Condescendingly, you can see it very clearly.

At the sound of the order, the game began.

Each 100 people, a group of 5 people, divided into 20 groups, first compare digging and transporting soil, and in a meal (half an hour) work, the top two people with the largest number of soil transported enter the next round. A total of 40 selected candidates competed in martial arts, and won two in three games. The winner serves as the judge of each group. The loser is eliminated.

Leng Yi looked at it with a smile, and quickly decided the winner. Twenty winners will compete again, so that the head and deputy head of the capital will be selected until they are selected.

The competition was very tense, and the onlookers kept laughing and cheering. Most of the original officers, officers, generals, ten generals, military heads, deputy capital heads and capital heads were defeated in the competition, and the soldiers who were successfully promoted were extremely excited, looking at Leng Yi on the stage expectantly, and some couldn't believe that they could really rely on this competition to be elected as a junior officer.

When the first and deputy first-class officers of the first capital stood in a row, Leng Yi slowly walked off the field and personally presented them with the military uniforms and letters of appointment of the officers prepared in advance.

At this moment, the onlookers burst into enthusiastic cheers, and the newly elected generals were even more excited, kneeling down on one knee and clasping their fists and thanking the commander.

In this way, when it was almost noon, Leng Yi saw a familiar figure among the new people who entered the competition, but it was Li Jilong, the former commander of the horse army who was demoted by himself!

After more than a month of torture in shackles, his figure looked a little haggard, and his gray hair and beard fluttered slightly in the wind. Squinting at a pair of old eyes, with a little indifference, he looked at Leng Yi on the stage.

Leng Yi's expression was as usual, and he didn't even glance sideways at the new Ma Jun next to him to command the party to advance. As if he hadn't noticed Li Jilong.

The game begins. Unexpectedly, although Li Jilong is old, his body is still very strong, digging and picking soil, walking like flying, and winning the first place in his group in one fell swoop. In the subsequent martial arts competition, he easily defeated his opponent and successfully advanced to the next round.

Later, in the competitions of each theory, he passed all the way, and in the end, he easily won the first place in the battalion. Elected to the top of the capital!

Leng Yi was very happy, accompanied by Dang Jin and other senior generals, he slowly stepped down from the high platform and came to the elected generals, the first one was Li Jilong.

Leng Yi looked at his old face covered with beads of sweat and said, "It turned out to be General Li." No wonder it's so powerful. ”

Li Jilong looked at him and did not speak.

Leng Yi took the tray containing the letter of appointment and military uniform of Dutou, handed it to Li Jilong with both hands, and said, "Congratulations to Li Dutou for his successful election!" ”

Li Jilong slowly raised his hand, clenched his fist, like a mallet, and smashed it with a snort. Halfway through, I turned around and was in the middle of the face door next to the party!

Dang Jin sighed, his nose bleeded, covered his face and squatted on the ground, scolding: "You! You are crazy! How do you hit me? ”

Li Jilong sneered: "What I admire most in my life is a real man like Commander Leng who has real ability to say everything, not a sinister, despicable and shameless villain like you!" You dog thief, you want to borrow my hand to kill Commander Leng, blind your dog eyes! ”

"What do you say! Who's going to kill Commander Leng! Don't spew blood! ”

"Do you know it in your heart!"

Dang Jin's nose was covered with bloodbleeds, and both front teeth were lost, and he held it in his hand. Crying and mourning, he said to Leng Yi: "Commander Leng, don't listen to his nonsense, the last general will be loyal to the leader, and the world can learn from it!" ”

Leng Yi looked at him lightly, only to see that he was terrified.

Leng Yi patted him on the shoulder. Said: "The official thinks that there must be some misunderstanding here, right?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Dang Jin hurriedly smiled and said, "It's a misunderstanding, hehe." ”

Leng Yi turned to Li Jilong and smiled: "I have ordered that all the officers and men of the battalion can be selected for military merit, and those who are listed in the top two for military merit will serve as the commander and deputy commander of the battalion." I heard that your military merits are very prominent, you can participate in the military merit selection, why didn't you participate? Instead, come to participate in this power martial arts competition? ”

Li Jilong glared angrily at Dang Jin: "They said that it was said by adults, my military merits are all bullshit and not worth it, and they didn't tell me, saying that they would conduct a military merit selection!" ”

Leng Yi turned to look at Dang Jin: "Is that so?" - To be honest, this official will verify! ”

Dang Jin's face was very ugly, and the blood stains on his face were shocking. Nuno said: "This ......"

Leng Yi said again: "In this way, the military merit selection that this official asked you to conduct yesterday, have you still carried out it?" ”

Dang Jin's face was red and white for a while, and he bowed down and said: "Because the time is urgent, it is too late to carry it out, and I am ready to carry it out after the completion of today's competition." ”

Leng Yi looked at him: "This commander of your horse army is the commander, it is because General Li did not obey the order that he was removed from his post and let you take the position, but now you don't listen to the official's orders, how do you let the official treat you?" ”

Dang Jin was shocked, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "The last general is wrong, and the last general will immediately start organizing the selection of military merits." ”

Leng Yi turned his head to look at the senior generals who followed behind him, and said, "If you don't obey the official's orders, you must be punished, and you can't break the rules from you." - Come on, the party will be whipped fifty! ”

Leng Yi's escort team agreed, stepped forward, pulled Dang Jin aside, tore off his official robe, and whipped it violently.

This party originally wanted to learn from the palace, and before he entered the palace, he commanded Yang Xin's toughness, and he didn't shout when he was beaten. But after a few lashes, he screamed.

Leng Yi looked at the hundreds of senior generals with an expressionless face: "I am very reluctant to scold my brothers, but military orders are like mountains, whoever does not obey military orders, no matter who he is, no matter how hard he is qualified, how much merit he has, the same military law as this official, I hope there will be no such thing that embarrasses everyone in the future!" ”

The hundreds of generals bowed their hands together and said: "Don't dare to disobey the order, obey the commander's order!" ”

On this side, he was whipping the party, and on the other side, Leng Yi said to Li Jilong: "This official gives you another task, you do a good job, this official can use you again." ”

Li Jilong hurriedly bowed down and said, "The last general is willing to obey the commander's orders." ”

"You've seen today's competition, and you know what to do. The officer appointed you as the commander of the battalion of six hundred overseers. Responsible for the gradual promotion of this competitive work. You will lead the supervision battalion to be specifically responsible for carrying out the work, and it is necessary to carry out military merit appraisal and labor martial arts competitions in the whole battalion in a planned and step-by-step manner, and elect the corresponding generals. Send me the list and I'll give them a letter of appointment personally! Your work is directly under my command and reports to me. Not under the command of others. Would you like to? ”

Li Jilong was overjoyed, although he used to be the boss of the Dangjin, but now he is a subordinate of the Dangjin, and he has exposed the conspiracy of the Dangjin to kill Leng Yi, and he must be worried that he will be personally vendetted by the Dangjin Gazette in the future. Now Leng Yi has asked him to serve as the commander of the supervision battalion, specifically responsible for the competition for posts, and he is directly under the command of Leng Yi, so he is not afraid of retaliation from the party. Naturally, he was very happy, and his heart was full of gratitude to Leng Yi.

Li Jilong hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "The last general will obey the commander's orders and never live up to the commander's ardent expectations." ”

After fifty lashes, Dang Jin almost fainted. Above the back, flesh and blood blurred. Leng Yi said lightly to the party: "General party, can you still insist?" ”

"The last will ......, the last will be able to ......"

"That's good! Go on! After that, he turned around and went to the high platform, and he seemed to have forgotten about the injury on the back of the party, and he didn't let the army Zhonglang come to heal. Dang Jin had no choice but to grit his teeth and follow to the high platform.

The competition lasted until noon, and Leng Yi announced that he would temporarily end eating.

Their meals were set up on the construction site. It is also the food of the soldiers, which is naturally not comparable to the delicacies of the mountains and seas at home.

After Leng Yi finished eating, he instructed Li Jilong to formulate a plan immediately. He also informed the commanders of each compartment to stay behind and continue to accompany him to inspect and compete for posts. The rest of the generals could be disbanded and returned to prepare.

Taking time, Cheng Luoyan whispered to Leng Yi: "Official, why don't you kill that Dangjin!" He's going to murder you! ”

"I know!" Leng Yi said lightly: "Their organization hasn't been completely investigated yet, so they can't startle the snake." After we find out, we will catch them all! The official family asked me to grasp the command of the forbidden army as soon as possible, so as not to be usurped by Zhao Tingmei's people, so the top priority now is to gain the support of the army as soon as possible. Only when I have the command of the forbidden army, I am not afraid of them turning the sky upside down! ”

"I also understand your intentions, you want to start from the bottom up, first knock out their foundation, and replace all the generals below the battalion level with yours, so as to seize the command of the lower-level forbidden army. However, they won't be so honestly waiting for you to take away the command of the forbidden army, right? ”

"They'd better be honest, or they'll be waiting for him with more than just a whip!"
