The trip to the new barracks for several former rebel generals was definitely not a pleasant one.
Three months of queueing, internal affairs, simple military coordination tactics, military martial arts training, and the most troublesome cultural courses almost tortured several former rebel generals to death.
No, after finally surviving the three-month recruitment period, they took advantage of the two-day holiday and ignored the danger of exposing the big leader. They hurried back to their temporary base, which was a large courtyard somewhere in Bao's big inn, and proposed
The thought of leaving the three thousand miles frontier directly.
In other words, they are now new recruits of the Tongyuan City Defense Army, and they can be regarded as having military status.
If you don't take the initiative to return to the camp after the two-day holiday, you will be treated as a deserter, and departure is quite harsh.
Moreover, based on their observations in the recruit training camp, there are many experts in the city defense army, and there are dozens of people with the same strength as them, not to mention there are even more powerful ones who have never shown up in the recruit camp.
If I don't run away in time and join the city defense army, I will live a life of dire straits from now on.
It’s really not a joke. They were rebel generals before and were no strangers to military matters. However, the rules of the Tongyuan City Defense Army were too many and too strict. They found it difficult to accept them. Instead of waiting to be punished by military law if they violated the rules in the future, they
It's better to leave early.
"It's impossible to leave the three-thousand-mile frontier, at least not in a short period of time!"
The big leader with a majestic face directly stopped their thoughts and rebuked angrily: "They are all the army. Could it be that the Tongyuan City defense army is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den? You really can't stand the constraints of those rules?"
As he spoke, a pair of stern eyes stared directly at the few confidants who had just completed the recruit training, not concealing the disappointment and dissatisfaction in his eyes.
His original intention was to continue to stay in the Three Thousand Miles Frontier. Not to mention controlling the place, just learning all kinds of relevant knowledge would be enough to keep him busy for a while.
He had two waves of generals under his command, and he was not idle during the three months when he participated in official duties and recruit training.
When I personally observed the wells of Tongyuan City, I was surprised to find that the bookstores here were not only doing a booming business, but also sold books in various categories related to military strategy. These are the core inheritance of the general families in the mainland of Daqi.
, a good thing that won’t be leaked easily.
Not only that, there are also professional books on politics, economy, agriculture, minerals, etc. These are valuable knowledge that is difficult to find outside the mainland of Daqi.
He was so happy that he didn't care about the source of these books. He spent a lot of money to sell them all. He spent three months reading and comprehending them. Because the content was too complicated and rich, he had only read less than three points of it so far.
one of the contents.
As the leader of the failed rebel army, what he wanted to know most was naturally why he failed?
On the surface, Da Qi's officers and soldiers were outnumbered, and the landowners of the aristocratic families under his control turned against each other one after another. There were even many young men and women in the army, which were all factors in the failure of the rebel army.
But he is not a fool. He feels that these factors are just superficial phenomena.
As for the deeper reasons, he only had vague ideas, but it was difficult for him to elaborate.
However, after reading these precious books bought in the city, the big leader gained some clarity.
You won’t know until you see it, but you will be shocked when you see it!
According to some of the contents of the books he read, combined with the current situation of the rebel army, the underlying reasons for many problems were revealed. It was just that he did not have enough available and reliable talents in all aspects, and even the dozens of people he had at his peak were
Wan Yijun, now I think about it, looks more like a mob.
Just by reading some precious books, the big leader had many insights. After thinking about it, he felt that the rebel army was indeed defeated unjustly. After all, it was his own ability and the ability of his subordinates that were too lacking.
Now, after listening to two more groups of subordinates' experiences in the official training camp for new recruits and the new recruit training camp, this idea becomes clearer in my mind.
In a small city in the border area of only three thousand miles, the training of new officers and recruits was so professional and serious. It was very different from his previous style of just pulling up a team and doing it, which also made the big leader quite ashamed.
At this time, when he heard that his subordinates who had joined the city defense army wanted to leave the three thousand miles border area, he suddenly felt displeased and glared at him. He still wanted to continue to enrich himself here.
Those former rebel generals who joined the city defense army were stared at by the big leader until they broke out in cold sweat. They were full of fear but didn't know why they were like this?
"Hmph, you guys really disappoint me. Didn't you think about the combat effectiveness of the soldiers trained in this way during the three months of recruit training?"
The big leader said angrily: "Look at the few newcomers who have also received three months of training as official servants. They have seen a lot from it and decided to work hard to climb up as quickly as possible in order to receive more in-depth and more useful knowledge.
Look at you again..."
At this time, several former rebel generals who had passed the official officer training for new recruits actually felt a vague sense of superiority. They once again recounted the training they had experienced and what they had seen and heard in the new recruit training camp, and finally said:
“Only after participating in the new recruit training did I realize that being a government servant has so many skills!”
"Of course, if we can fully understand this professional knowledge, at least we won't have to worry too much about losing control of any towns we control in the future!"
Several companions who had just participated in the recruit training were stunned for a while. After reacting, they finally understood why the big leader looked angry and disappointed.
Thinking back on what they learned in the recruit training, with their rich experience in commanding troops and fighting on the battlefield, they soon found something unusual and unusual, and they suddenly felt embarrassed and at a loss.
"You understand now, go to the barracks and report to me honestly. Don't have any petty thoughts. Climb up step by step according to the rules!"
Seeing this, the big leader snorted coldly: "According to the rules here in Tongyuan, you are only receiving recruit training now. You will obviously receive more advanced training when you are promoted in the future. These are extremely valuable experiences. Even if you can't
If you start a business on the three thousand-mile frontier, you can also lay a foundation in a nearby place!"
This was not bad, and it was also realistic, so all the rebel generals present nodded in agreement.
As for seizing the three thousand miles of borderland, the former rebel generals, including the big leader, have basically given up on such arrogant thoughts.
The more you know about Tongyuan City, the more you know how strong the Sanqianli border area is.
Although they are all powerful, there are not only one or two generals in Tongyuan City who are similar in strength to them.
Whether it is the city defense army or the government officials, they cannot be easily controlled by just a few of them.
Tongyuan City is not a good place just because of its power on the surface. Who knows how much strength Tongyuan has yet to reveal secretly?
This is just a small Tongyuan City. There are five Tongyuan-level cities in the entire 3,000-mile frontier, as well as many towns with a population ranging from 30,000 to 50,000.
If all this place was managed by the mysterious frontier lord according to the Tongyuan City government and city defense army model, one can imagine how powerful the entire three thousand miles of frontier would be.
No matter how arrogant the big leader and his former rebel generals are, they have no confidence to continue to invade the three thousand miles of border area. The water here is very deep, and they, the defeated generals, cannot participate.
After two days of secret discussion, the two groups of people, those who should go to the upper yamen, and those who should report to the barracks, went to the barracks to report, and the big leader himself continued the path of learning where he had left off.
In short, this group of failed high-level rebels found a way to improve themselves in Tongyuan City on the border, and each one eagerly absorbed useful knowledge to make themselves stronger.
As for whether they can get involved in the three thousand miles of frontier, they have no thoughts at the moment. Unless the former rebel generals who joined the Yamen and the city defense army can climb to high positions in a short period of time, they will not have such ambitions at all. The risk is too high and the gain is not worth the loss.
ah.
Only after two waves of former rebel generals were on duty did they realize how unreliable the previous plan was.
New government officers have no chance to patrol busy commercial streets. Instead, they patrol residential areas under the leadership of veteran officers, and there are not many opportunities to make meritorious deeds.
The martial arts in Tongyuan was at its peak, and almost all residents, regardless of size, practiced martial arts. Any petty thief who was brave enough to dare to steal in residential areas would be simply throwing himself into a trap and risking great injury and disability.
If petty theft really occurs, there is no need for the patrolling government officials to take action. The residents here will directly solve the problem. How can they get any credit?
Under such circumstances, the several former rebel generals who had just become the new recruits of the government officials had no place to display their amazing martial arts skills.
As for the new recruits, they also had no chance to make meritorious deeds.
Their main task is to blow wind on the tall and thick city wall all day long. Oh no, it should be called patrolling.
There was no chance to go out on patrol at all. They asked the superior officer, but they got an answer that they didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"There are other people outside the city for protection, so there is no need for us to go out and waste energy!"
Well, if you can't even get out of the city, how can you use the opportunity to do mischief and get promoted?
The news was quickly reported back to the big leader. The big leader seemed to have been stunned, with a wry smile on his face and completely stopped thinking about getting involved in the three thousand miles of frontier.
At the moment, it seems that, let alone the three thousand miles of frontier, it is hard to say whether he and his close men can capture Tongyuan City within five years, so it is better not to mess around.
As for which group of people maintains order outside the city, he has no interest in finding out. All previous plans and calculations have been stopped. It is better to stay in Tongyuan City and improve yourself. It will not be too late to show off elsewhere in the future...
