Section 4 Opportunities

"To do extraordinary things, you need to use extraordinary means. β€”Excerpt from "Quotations of the Emperor".

Just when everyone was a little confused, Wu Feng had already begun to implement his second step plan. He was not satisfied with his current position at all, he needed to get a higher position in a short period of time to prepare for his next step, and training could not be slackened, so he boldly handed over the squadron training work to Liang Chongxin and freed himself up to plan the next step. The squadron leader is the leader of the brigade one step further, and Wu Feng does not take the deputy position into account at all, and the target is the captain. I have just been unusually promoted, and it is generally impossible to get promoted again in a short period of time, let alone be promoted two levels in a row. Although the power of the brigade leader to submit and approve the request lies at the wing level, the decision power lies at the division level. If you want to go to the next level in the short term, you have to find another way.

The commander of the 3rd Division was a mediocre and old-fashioned middle-aged nobleman named Hocker, who was said to be a relative of Vice Minister of Military Affairs Pique, who usually lived in Yanjing City, but only went to the division headquarters every Monday to listen to reports at all levels, and arranged the work step by step, and general affairs were handled by the deputy corps commander and chief of staff. This guy has a squire named Jab by his side, who is stingy and greedy, who loves to take advantage of small things, and is a fox and a tiger, but he is quite trusted by Hocker, and the people below him hate him very much. After learning about these situations through various channels, Wu Feng decided to make an idea from this guy named Jibu. He first found out the rules of Jia Bu's daily life through some idlers on Yanjing Street, and learned that this guy would go to a teahouse called Wangyuexuan in Yanjing East District almost every afternoon to drink tea, and heard that the storyteller told the story. So Wu Feng also changed into plain clothes for a few afternoons in a row to this teahouse called Wangyue Xuan to drink tea and listen to books, after observation, Wu Feng found that this guy is really very stingy, drinking tea and drinking the cheapest flower tea, but he has to sit in the middle of the teahouse to listen to the best position to listen to the story, the storyteller comes to reward money but never gives, fortunately, the guys here don't care about him, probably not strange.

When Wu Feng drank tea, he sat next to Jia Bu intentionally or unintentionally, and commented on the storyteller from time to time with Ji Bu. The storyteller tells the glorious history of the Tang River Empire, which was one of the most common stories told by storytellers, when the Tang River Empire was founded, when the six major families assisted the Situ family to gradually establish the Tang River Empire from a prince in the Asean Empire in the eastern part of the continent more than 400 years ago. Due to Wu Feng's deliberate arrangement, the two often sat together to drink tea, and in less than a month, they became acquainted with Jia Bu, and Wu Feng also paid for Jia Bu's tea from time to time, and sometimes rewarded the storyteller with tips for Jia Bu. Later, it developed to the point that Wufeng invited Jia Bu to drink, and after many times, Jia Bu also felt a little embarrassed and wanted to invite Wu Feng back, but Wu Feng resigned.

Jia Bu is also a very well-behaved person, during a drink, intentionally or unintentionally asked Wu Feng if there was anything he needed to help, Wu Feng felt that the time was almost ripe, so he did not hide his plan, hoping that Jia Bu would help, and said that he would be grateful after success. After thinking about it again, Jia Bu felt that this matter was not risk-free, and he could have some income, so why not do it if he was a favor, so he agreed.

Wu Feng's plan was to let Jab find a way to let the commander of the Hocker Division inspect the work of the Fourth Wing at a suitable time, and watch the drills of some teams. Generally speaking, the division commander asked for the promotion of a group commander by name, and it should be approved without any problems, so that the plan without a blade would be a complete success. The success of this plan depends largely on Jab's influence on the commander of Hocker's division, and Jab says there is absolutely no problem, as well as whether Wufeng's squadron performs well. The two made an appointment to go down and prepare separately, and as soon as Wufeng was ready, they immediately notified Jabu, and Jabu did the work of the commander of the Hawker Division to inspect the Fourth Wing.

When Wu Feng made an appointment with Jia Bu, Liang Chongxin led the whole squadron to come to an end of a three-month intensive training, and after Wu Feng conducted a full inspection of the whole team, he found that the training results exceeded the expected purpose, and he couldn't help but be satisfied with his choice, and he was more confident in the success of his plan. At the end of the training task, Wu Feng commended those who performed well in the training according to Liang Chongxin's suggested list, and prepared to report to the superior for promotion, and the training was a complete success. Wu Feng also actively reported to the brigade and the wing, and asked his superiors to come to inspect and accept. On the other hand, Wu Feng also contacted Jabu in the city, asking him to start acting in the near future.

A week later, the Fourth Wing of the Third Division received a notice that the division commander would personally inspect the work of the Fourth Wing, and this immediately aroused great attention from the leaders of the Fourth Wing, because in normal times, the commander of the Hawker Division rarely went down to the grassroots level, and this time the Fourth Wing was selected alone, and this time he had to pay attention to it. To this end, the wing asked all subordinate units to be ready for inspection.

Three days later, the commander of the Hawker division and the leaders of other divisions and regiments inspected the fourth wing as scheduled, and during the inspection work, the commander of the Hawker division proposed to take a look at the training of recruits, so the fifth brigade where Wufeng was located conducted a report exercise, in the exercise, the soldiers of the third squadron led by Wufeng were full of spirit, high morale, well-trained, obviously higher than other squadrons, and won the praise of the leaders at all levels present, and even the commander of the Hawker division was very satisfiedThe commander of the Hocker Division immediately said that young and promising officers like Wu Feng should be promoted to a more important position as the chief officer in order to strengthen the training of recruits, and asked the leaders of the Fourth Wing to consider it immediately, and also affirmed the work of the Fourth Wing.

The other leaders of the division and regiment also expressed their approval of the division commander's proposal, so the leading group of the Fourth Wing quickly made a decision to appoint Li Wufeng as the captain of the Fifth Brigade of the Fourth Wing of the Third Division of the Imperial City Guard Corps, and his military rank was promoted to that of captain, the former captain of the Fifth Brigade was transferred to the Second Brigade as the captain, the former captain of the Second Brigade was transferred to the First Brigade as the captain, and the former captain of the First Brigade was promoted to the director of the Logistics Department of the Wing.

Under Wu Feng's strong recommendation, Liang Chongxin's proposal to replace Wu Feng as the squadron leader of the 3rd Squadron was also approved. At noon, the Fourth Wing hosted a banquet for the leaders of the division and regiment at Dengxian Pavilion, a very famous wine in the western district of Yanjing, and Wu Feng was also exceptionally notified to participate. Before the banquet was dispersed, Wu Feng took advantage of the lack of attention and stuffed a bag containing a hundred gold coins to Jia Bu, and Jia Bu did not shirk it, and put it down knowingly.

In just over two years, Wu Feng has become a captain who has led nearly 1,000 people from an ordinary soldier, and has become the pride of the recruits. At the inauguration ceremony of Wu Feng as the captain of the Fifth Brigade, Wu Feng gave an impromptu speech.

"Brethren, two years ago, like most of you here, I was just a new soldier, and through two years of hard work and opportunity, I have the privilege of becoming your captain. I'm not much smarter than everyone else, but I know that if you train hard and work hard, I think if you are like me, you will have more opportunities in the future. But I would also like to say that the current situation is serious, we may go to the battlefield anytime and anywhere, although there are more opportunities and greater risks, the enemy will not be merciful to us because we are new recruits or not trained enough, you will be baptized with blood and fire on the battlefield, and only after the test of life and death will you become true warriors. Remember the saying, sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime, and only if you are stronger than the enemy, you will have more chances. I hope that all squadrons will keep up with the 3rd Squadron and redouble their efforts in future training to catch up with or surpass them as soon as possible. Brothers, don't waste your time, use your own hands to create opportunities, and strive to realize the value of your life on the stage. ”

The words made the soldiers on the field enthusiastic, and won the thunderous applause of nearly 1,000 soldiers in the field, which lasted for a long time. Later historians have evaluated the first speech of the founding emperor of the empire, saying that it was not very successful, because the language was full of threats and temptations, but he took himself as an example, made full use of the soldiers' motivation, and successfully provoked the soldiers' positive surnames, which laid a good foundation for future training.

The year 689 of the mainland Gregorian calendar was not a quiet year, just when Wu Feng led all the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Brigade to devote themselves to the hot training, an unexpected thing disrupted Wu Feng's training plan, made Wu Feng, who was less than 19 years old, experience the cruelty of war in advance, and also stimulated Wu Feng's power desire to do more.

Autumn was supposed to be a bumper harvest season, but the northern counties of the empire, Yanyun County, Beiyuan County, and Heshuo County were plagued by locust plagues after a major drought, and many prefectures and counties had almost no harvest. The war of the Luope people, so the tax burden on the northern parts of the country was not reduced, coupled with the fact that some local landlords and merchants hoarded grain, resulting in soaring grain prices, ordinary peasants were miserable, small-scale peasant rent and tax resistance riots broke out one after another, and the imperial authorities adopted high-pressure policies, and the situation was turbulent.

In the vast Liboa Plain north of the Tang Empire, there are several other countries that, although not as powerful as the Tang Empire, are not to be underestimated. Unlike the Tang Empire, their inhabitants were predominantly Caucasians, whose ancestors migrated from the Western Continent hundreds of years ago, and then gradually intermarried with the local population, resulting in the current situation.

The ethnicity, religion, history, customs and habits of these countries are similar, the relationship is also good, and the national strength is not much different. These countries are all located in the north and northeast of the Tang River Empire, from west to east are the Sislo Empire, the Kaman Empire, the Poole Kingdom, and the Dodon Kingdom in the northeast. The relationship between the Dodon Kingdom and the Empire is average, while the relations between the other three kingdoms and the Empire have been tense in recent decades, with armed conflicts in the border areas and many major wars, the most recent being seven years ago. Sandwiched between the Kaman Empire and the Poole Kingdom and the Empire is the Principality of Gelok, which is as close to the Empire as a medium-sized county in terms of territory and population.

The capital of the Kaman Empire, Budley. In a secret room in the west corner of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a short and fat middle-aged man sat on the chair of the Taishi at the top, listening intently to the report of a middle-aged man standing at the bottom.

"At the moment several small riots in the local area have been suppressed by the local garrison, but through the work of our local people and the matchmaking of them, several of the leaders of the riot are ready to unite and organize a big riot, but #8231;#8231;#8231;#8231;"

The middle-aged man was a little speechless, and the short and fat man's eagle-like eyes fell on the middle-aged man's face. "But what, if you have something to say, say it. ”

"My subordinates thought that even if they all joined forces, it would be difficult for them to succeed. ”

"Oh, tell me what you think. ”

"They are just a group of peasants and slaves, and although there are some talented people, they have no formal training and lack of weapons and materials, and even if we provide intelligence information, they will still fail in the end, but sooner or later. ”

"You don't have to think about this issue, you only need to arrange for our people to do everything in their power to provide them with intelligence information, but they are only limited to providing intelligence information, and they must not participate in it, and they must pay attention to ways and means, and must not expose our people, you must remember this. Report any situation in a timely manner. ”

"The subordinates remember, if the adults have nothing else to do, the villain will retire first. ”

"Okay, you should rest and pay attention to your body. ”

"Lord Xie cares. ”

After the middle-aged man left the secret room, the short and fat man sat on the chair and fell into deep thought. "I didn't hope that a group of rabble could do anything big, but only hoped that some of the opponent's strength would be consumed, and the longer it dragged on, the better, the better it would be for us, and it would be better if we could attract some of the enemy's regular army. Opportunities are also created. The stocky man muttered to himself. If no one introduced him, no one who doesn't know him would believe that this short and fat man who is not amazing will be Gomez, the prime minister of the Kaman Empire, who is known as the "iron-fisted prime minister".
