428 Reorganized
At the celebration banquet in the Yama Palace, I really came into contact with the highest standard of yin food for the first time, and it was really exquisite in materials, exquisite in method, wonderful in taste, and extremely luxurious!
And all of this comes from the hands of my master's "enemy", the former junior brother and the current head of the imperial dining room of the underworld, Liao Keng. His superb cooking skills also make me have to admire, exactly: there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people!
In addition, after some discussion, King Yama finally approved the reorganization of the Yin army and the recruitment of a thousand new soldiers. Although Cui Yu objected to this, since the king of Yama had already issued an edict, he had to deal with this matter. As a result, many Yin cultivators from all over the country were very enthusiastic after getting the news, and they took the initiative to send their young juniors to participate in the recruitment.
However, the location for recruiting recruits is not located in the underworld, but is divided into several points and set up in several Great Yin Cities. Only through screening, recruits who have passed the cultivation and martial arts will be sent to the prefecture to participate in the intensive training of the recruit camp.
I was promoted to Yin General with two other people. According to Shen Turen, the three of us will compete for a place to lead the new army, and those who can't compete can only be the commander of the light pole. I thought my hopes were greater, but it turned out to be completely unexpected: the two of them went together to lead the new army, and I was left alone!
My current identity as a general is actually just a fictitious position, and I only have the original Eighth Battalion of the Night Tour Army and the remnants of the Fifth Battalion left by Jia Ji, and the total number of soldiers is only one hundred and twenty, and I continue to hang under the name of the Night Tour Army without embarrassment, which is really pitiful. Could it be that I, the new "red man" of the Yin Army, am a dying of light and only a month old?
In fact, it is not that there is no vacant position for Yin generals in the Yin army. For example, the right army of the night tour lacks a yin general, and the original one was stabbed to death by the ghost commander in the battle of Hanchang City. But no one has been going to take his position, and at present, the right army of the night tour is temporarily managed by Bai Gui, the yin general of the former army. However, the night guerrilla army suffered serious losses this time, and the remnants of the front army and the right army combined were less than a thousand people, and Bai Gui alone could manage it.
As a result, it was not until the training of the recruits was completed and the two armies were reorganized by day and night that I realized that the struggle for power was not as simple as I thought!
The first is the battle for soldiers. The Night Rangers had few soldiers, so it stands to reason that new recruits should be added to the Night Rangers. However, Marshal Riyou had already negotiated a deal with Lu Zhidao in private, and the recruits would be handed over to the Riyou Army to command, so he competed with Marshal Yeyou for this batch of recruits according to the rule that the two armies took turns to receive recruits.
The second is the battle for location. Although the night rangers had few soldiers, there were many vacant officer positions. Marshal Dayyou wanted to promote his subordinates to be the Yin generals and Yin Colonels of the New Army, and the Night Tour Marshal used this as a reason to respond to the blow, demanding that the personnel allocation of the two armies be balanced, and that neither should be biased towards the Japanese Army.
In the end, the dispute continued, and the two Yin Marshals actually brought the matter to the Yama Palace, and it was decided by the King of Yama: the armies with less than half of the original soldiers in the two armies of the day and night tours were also reorganized together with the new army to ensure that the soldiers of each army were equal. The number of newly promoted officers was recommended by the two marshals for half, but the senior officers at the rank of Yin General were directly designated by the king of Yama. There is nothing to fight for in the day and night tours.
But at this moment, an even more unexpected news broke out: Lu Lian resigned!
Lu Lian is the general of the left army of the Japanese tour, and the granddaughter of Lu Zhidao, with a group of "women's army", which can be described as a maverick and has attracted much attention. However, she is said to have been injured in the battle to break through the ghost town of Salt Desert, and it has been a long time before she has to resign. As a result, the left army of the Japanese tour lacked another position of a yin general.
It just so happens that this just solves the problem of the appointment of the newly promoted Yin generals: the left army of the day tour, the right army of the night tour and the new army, and three vacancies are waiting for the three of us to fill. However, perhaps because I had made a deep impression on King Yama before I made the first contribution, he directly arranged for me to go to the Left Army of the Japanese Tour and became the most eye-catching general of the "Women's Army"!
I'm not at all right for that. On the one hand, there are always some inconveniences for male officers to lead female soldiers, which feels quite awkward; But on the other hand, Liu Han was in the left army in Japan, and now she became my subordinate.
Alas, no matter what, it's good to have a real job, can I still pick and choose?
On the first day after the reorganization was completed, I took the Japanese Left Army, which had just taken over, to carry out daily training. When practicing, listen to the crisp and delicate "Drink!" next to your ears. Ha! Kill! "The screams, I always feel weird.
The Japanese guerrilla army still maintained the configuration of the front, rear, left, right, and center armies, but each army was seriously understaffed. The Chinese army brought by the day tour was about 1,200 people, and there was a shortage of 800. The other four armies were only about 700 men, each with a shortage of 300. The total number of troops was only 4,000, which was one-third less than the original 6,000 at full strength.
On the other side, the situation of the night guerrilla army was about the same, and even the total number of troops was a little less than that of the day guerrilla.
In addition to the original 500 female soldiers, the Japanese Left Army I led with me added 200 new soldiers. One of the recruits in the Yin School is Lu Yu, the son of his own family who was recommended by Lu Zhidao, and he should call Lu Zhidao his great-uncle in terms of seniority, and he is also younger than me, he is only twenty-seven years old this year, and his Yin Gong cultivation has just reached the fourth elementary level.
About half of Lu Yu's chiefs were also recommended by Lu Zhidao. As a result, this recruit battalion became vaguely an independent faction in the Japanese Left Army, and it was incompatible with other battalions. Lu Yu himself is the same, he obeys me on the surface, but from time to time he reveals a trace of arrogance in his words and actions, as if to remind me: his backer is Lu Zhidao, the judge of the Investigation Division!
Hum! It's been almost three years since I joined the Yin Army, what soldiers and generals have never seen, play this kind of careful thinking with me?
It's just that I'm not in a hurry to show him a look at it now, and when I perform martial arts or go out on missions in the future, I will slowly clean him up and find a new recruit!
In addition, hehe, since Lu Zhidao blatantly promoted his juniors, there is no need for me to waste the power in my hands.
In view of the fact that there were many vacancies among the officers of the Left Army of the Japanese Tour, I promoted my old subordinates Yao Chen, Shi Xun, and Guan Mao to be Yin Colonels. And Du Zong and Wang Qi were the chiefs in my pro-military camp, but in fact, they helped me carry five tithes each, which was almost equivalent to half a yin school.
Finally, there is a "special person" Liu Han, who has also become the new Yin School of the Dog Riding Battalion under me!
However, her position was not given by me for personal gain, but was recommended by her predecessor Lu Lian before she resigned. For this reason, she was very disapproving of me, the "new boss", and felt that she was promoted by ability, and did not rely on me at all.
I teased her: "Whether you accept it or not, you used to command me in Zuoqiu City, but this time it's finally my turn to command you, right?" ”
"What are you proud of?" Liu Han rolled his eyes at me and whispered fiercely: "I'll clean you up at night!" ”
Ha ha! This can be regarded as the only benefit of being a female army yin school!
From then on, Liu Han could openly enter and leave my dormitory under the pretext of "reporting work" to his superiors, instead of sneaking over in the middle of the night to climb the window. Even on the march, I could justifiably order her to come to my tent to "discuss" the military situation together. As for what is reported and discussed, only the two of us know it!
There's one more thing I've always wanted to do. In the past, I always secretly ate alone when eating yin food, but now I can finally invite Liu Han to share it generously when eating yin food.
Liu Han was taken aback when he ate the first meal, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect that you have a lot of skills as a cook, and you can even fry the yin food of the ghost restaurant!" ”
"Not only can it be fried, but it can also be fed!" I laughed.
"Make up for what?"
"It's definitely not tonifying meat, it's tonifying yin!"
I told Liu Han about the true effect of yin food. She didn't believe it at first, but after a month of experimentation, she couldn't help but believe it.
Liu Han had been stuck in the fourth intermediate level for several years because he had simply relied on meditation to cultivate, and his cultivation had grown extremely slowly. As a result, only a month after she started drinking Huangquan Soup, she also broke through to the upper level and was on an equal footing with me again.
"No wonder your cultivation has improved so quickly!" It was only then that she suddenly realized, "When I first met you in Zuoqiu City, you were only at the third level. In the next few years, I have only been promoted by two ranks, but you have suddenly raised the fifth order! ”
I triumphed and quipped, "I even shared my biggest secret with you, should you repay it?" ”
"Get out!" Liu Han scolded with a smile, "Invite me to eat a few meals and want to reciprocate, be careful that you will fight a bachelor for the rest of your life!" ”
"Hahaha!" I laughed. She has unconsciously admitted the emotional relationship with me, at least not a simple "physical relationship"!
After becoming a yin general, the treatment is different from that of the yin school. In addition to the improvement of the Lulu and the convenience of entering and exiting the camp gate and the ghost gate, I also have a few more special equipment and tokens. One is the Yin General's waist card that represents my status and status; The second is the fine iron Zhangbachi snake spear that the king of Yama gave me in the holy decree, and the last one is the map box that can only be distributed by the Yin general.
On this day, I personally went to the Yin Law Division to go through the handover procedures and receive these equipment and tokens.
The Yin Ritsu Division was built on the right bank of the Lethe River, next to the treasury. These two prefecture yamen were in charge of the archives and financial materials of the prefecture respectively, and both were in charge of the judge Cui Yu. In fact, he is the person who holds the positions of office director and logistics minister, and his authority is not small!
However, Cui Yu was not there that day, so an old errand took me to go through the handover procedures and pick up my things. Needless to say, the Yin general waist card is similar to the style of the Yin school waist card I originally wore, but the ornamentation and inscription are different.
