After a brief meeting, Lin Ziran directly arranged for the two of them to serve as instructors in the officer crash course.
Although they are only sergeants and have not received formal military education, they are more than enough to serve as instructors for a group of pure novice officers.
When they gave their first lecture the next day, Lin Ziran ran over to listen in person.
Sure enough, this senior sergeant was extraordinary. Although his words were a bit garbled in front of a large group of people, he still had real facts, and what he said was enough to benefit the novice officers under him.
After a few days, Lin Ziran could clearly feel that the novice officers under him had made great progress, and they occasionally used some military terminology when speaking.
This is a good thing!
This made Lin Ziran look forward to the arrival of the real officer even more.
However, Luo Mazi's side has never been able to make the prisoner-of-war officers surrender. However, Qingshan Trading Company gave him good news, saying that they had recruited a retired officer from the county town and Zhoucheng.
Lin Ziran was so overjoyed that on the day this person arrived, he even went to the gate of the military camp to greet him personally. When he saw Wu Guanlin for the first time, Lin Ziran showed a satisfied look.
This Wu Guanlin was wearing an old-style military uniform without the military title insignia. He was eight feet tall, had a face with a Chinese character, and a resolute expression. When he arrived at the gate of the military camp on horseback, he flew over and dismounted, then strode forward and said, "
Wu Guanlin, who holds a humble position, please see your lord!"
What a man of eight feet. Look at his appearance, his actions, his words. Every part of his body exudes the aura of an elite officer!
"It's just as the letter said, he's in good spirits!" Lin Ziran was quite satisfied with this person's appearance.
The letter sent back by Qingshan Trading Company also stated that this person was an officer in Luo Hai County before. However, there was turmoil in Luo Hai County four years ago. Even the county guard was changed. Naturally, there was also turmoil in the original Luo Hai County.
Extremely, many troops have been reorganized or eliminated.
It is said that Wu Guanlin was purged because he was a direct descendant of the previous county governor. Because he was disillusioned with military affairs, he had been idle at home in the past few years.
Until the people from Qingshan Trading Company found him!
After much persuasion, I changed my mind and started working again.
Originally, Lin Ziran was worried, but when he saw this person today, Lin Ziran felt a lot more relieved.
"Let's go in first. Brother Wu has come all the way from Zhoucheng. The journey has been tiring. Go back quickly. Lin has already arranged a place for Brother Wu to live."
Lin Ziran still attached great importance to the officer who was the first to join the army and received formal military education.
Before anyone arrived, Lin Ziran had already ordered people to prepare a place to stay.
The treatment in other aspects is not bad either. The military title is given directly to the sergeant title. This is not to say that he does not want to give someone higher, but because Lin Ziran is just a junior doctor himself, and the highest grade can only be given to a sergeant.
Just as Lin Ziran warmly entertained Wu Guanlin, several people in Luohai City, the capital city of Nanhai Prefecture hundreds of kilometers away, were sitting around the banquet wearing uniforms of doctors and officers.
While drinking fine wine and delicious food, you can watch the beauties dancing.
At the same time, we occasionally chatted.
At this moment, one of the middle-aged doctors, who was about thirty years old, said, "Have you heard that Brother Wu is joining the army again?"
The doctor next to him said with confusion: "Brother Wu? Are you talking about Wu Guanlin?"
Doctor Zhong said: "Who else could it be besides Wu Guanlin?"
Then the doctor asked: "Why did you join the army again? I remember that he went to Xiyang County last year!"
The doctor said: "That's all because of old history. He went to Xiyang County last year. At the beginning, he was the first in the infantry section of our military cadets in Luo Hai, so he got a high position. Once he went there, he served as
A battalion commander.
However, in the first month, there was a huge defeat and hundreds of troops were lost. Three months later, there was another huge defeat. This time it was even worse. One battalion was completely destroyed. In less than half a year, we lost at least a thousand troops.
I heard from my friends in Xiyang County that if he hadn't run so fast, he would have been shot dead by Xiyang County even if he hadn't died on the battlefield!"
"This...it seems that our Senior Wu is still the same as before, losing many battles!"
"No, I still remember that four years ago when he was still in Luo Haijun, he lost more than a dozen battles in just two months. Since I started joining the army, I have never seen someone who could defeat the battles so cleanly.
A neat man, the old county guard was so angry that he wanted to shoot him personally, because he ran fast, otherwise he would have been dead!"
"Later I heard that he had been to Guang'an County, but he only stayed for a few months and then ran back. I heard that he had lost several battles and escaped, and he is still wanted!"
"Not to mention Guang'an County, he has also been to Luo'an County. This time he didn't lead any troops in the past. He just went to help train the new recruits. However, when he was leading the new recruits to train, he encountered an enemy attack. As a result, a whole new recruit camp was occupied.
Everything is over, and he is left to run away alone!"
"I don't know how people like this got the first place in the exam and graduated. We have people like this at Luohai Military Academy. It's a shame to persist!"
"But who is so stupid this time to invite him to serve?"
"Have you heard about which feudal town it is?"
"I don't know, I just know that someone came to invite me, but I don't know which family it is from!"
"Whatever, he'll be back in despair within a few months!"
"When he comes back, I want to ask him for advice on how he was defeated dozens of times, but managed to save his life every time. I think he must have a secret!"
"That said, I also want to ask!"
What happens in Nanhai Prefecture City will naturally not affect the remote Qingshan Town.
After Wu Guanlin attended Lin Ziran's reception party, he returned to the residence assigned to him that night. After washing, he did not lie down, but stood by the window and looked at the dark wilderness outside.
Countless people and things come to mind!
Six years ago, he was the most famous graduate of the Luohai County Military Academy. Among the more than 60 people in the infantry department, he graduated with the first place and was awarded the title of sergeant right after graduation.
After entering the Luo Navy and serving in the Navy, he was already promoted to the rank of Imperial Officer in just two years. He can be said to be the leader of the younger generation in the Luo Navy.
However, civil strife broke out in Luohai County four years ago, and several other counties intervened, triggering the Luohai War.
In that melee, Wu Guanlin participated as a front-line officer within Luo Haijun, but both the process and the result were tragic.
The first time he led his troops into the war, the troops were already defeated miserably at the front line before they even went to the front line. Countless enemy troops swarmed in. What else could he do under such circumstances? Naturally, he turned around and ran away.
Although he suffered a disastrous defeat when he entered the war for the first time, his superiors did not blame him, but continued to trust him, so he continued to lead the troops... but he lost every battle.
In three months, he was defeated more than ten times, and his troops of nearly a thousand people were beaten down to only a hundred or so!
Finally, the old county guard personally ordered his arrest, forcing him to take advantage of the chaos and escape.
But the old county guard probably forgot that the regiment given to him was all newly recruited soldiers, and they were not even equipped with muskets. It would be crazy to lead such a unit to victory.
He also said that he trusted Wu Guanlin's ability and gave him these new recruits, while others still didn't give them to him!
But Wu Guanlin said: I am not a god, so I really can’t lead a group of new soldiers who don’t even have muskets to fight.
Later, he went to Guang'an, Xiyang, and Luo'an. However, how could he really gain real power as an outsider?
The soldiers he leads are the worst, and the jobs he does are the most dangerous.
Under such circumstances, it would be damned if we don't lose the battle!
Over time, he even knew that the outside world had a very bad opinion of him. His classmates even made fun of him!
But he is not willing to give in!
I, Wu Guanlin, ranked first in infantry at Luohai Military Academy. Even if I cannot become a peerless general, I must not become a laughing stock in the eyes of others!
