Training the Military Mind
In the following days, the military camp of Xicheng underwent a series of changes, first with the adjustment of the 100,000 elite troops' squadrons, then with daily training...
In the morning and evening, in order to gradually grasp the core of the elite troops, he did not summon any lieutenant generals or soldiers for several days, but only gave a series of reform instructions, letting Xiao Bing execute them.
One hundred thousand elite soldiers were divided into ten large teams, each with 10,000 people, and the leader was called a General; Each team was further divided into ten medium-sized teams, each with 1,000 people, and the leader was called a Lieutenant General; The medium-sized teams were again divided into ten small teams, each with 100 people, and the leader was called a Major General; Finally, each small team was divided into ten squads, with ten people in each squad, and the leader was called a Squad Leader. Most of these people still had their original titles, and there was no rush to choose them, it took time to select those who were truly loyal to her.
In the morning and evening, she explained the training projects one by one, and also prepared some modern equipment for physical strength enhancement. After handing over to Xiao Bing, she began to let the soldiers practice. Before the practice, she held a competition, set rules, the losing side, the leader had to help the winning side wash clothes, and also couldn't delay the training.
Doing laundry is not hard labor for soldiers at all, what's important is saving face!
To save face for themselves, the losers went all out to push themselves up, and in less than a month's time, the military camp was filled with intense physical training.
Xiao Bing looked at the new equipment on the training ground, such as the single bar, rope ladder, and grid wall, and her confusion grew deeper. However, her respect for Princess Chi Yang also rose to an unprecedented height during this period.
Just by listening to the old soldiers' discussions, it can be known that Chi Yang's master has not truly appeared a few times and has already taken root in the hearts of these soldiers.
Now, in less than a month's time, among the 100,000 elite soldiers, how many did not know of Princess Chi Yang's reputation?
Especially after Princess Chuyang quietly wore her martial arts uniform and quickly flipped over various training equipment, with a speed that was even faster than most soldiers, the entire military camp no longer dared to disobey Princess Chuyang!
What's more, many soldiers were stimulated to extend their training time voluntarily. A delicate princess who was raised in a deep boudoir could quickly pass through a series of trainings with ease. Is it reasonable that they, as soldiers, are not even comparable to a little woman?
Unlike in the past, the atmosphere of military training in the barracks has reached an unprecedented height in history.
"Princess, how's the progress?" Zhuge Jingze followed Chenxiu to inspect the military camp, it was not easy to inspect 100,000 elite soldiers one by one. They could only inspect five battalions a day, because Chenxiu would go to each platoon and find suitable topics to chat with the soldiers.
It took her a full twenty days to finally meet the 100,000 elite soldiers, thoroughly making every soldier remember the elegant and majestic appearance of Princess Chiyang.
A month has passed in the intense military training, and suddenly it's October, autumn has arrived. The weather is no longer as sweltering as before.
On October 5th, an order was issued that night to reward the entire army and hold a grand feast in the military.
For this banquet, more than half a month ago, he personally drew pictures and ordered people to make suitable iron pots. In one breath, he had 5,000 iron pots made, saying that he wanted to have a hot pot banquet. The Holy Star Continent was not yet popular with the way of eating hot pot at this time, so everyone was very much looking forward to what surprise Princess Chi Yang could bring them this time.
When Zhuge Jingze saw the iron pot brought by the soldiers, he frowned slightly. The morning and evening had asked people to make a mandarin duck pot, which in Zhuge Jingze's opinion was completely unsuitable for stir-frying. It would be a waste to use it just once!
Xichen was very lively that day, many vegetable vendors were delighted because Princess Chiyang ordered people to purchase ingredients, and many vegetables, fish, mutton, beef, etc. were all bought out. Even some dry goods that were usually available were also sold out.
What delighted them most was that Princess Chiyang issued a military order, uniformly giving money at market price, and forbidding cheating!
Hua Zi was stunned, counting on her fingers, oh dear, several thousand taels of silver had flowed out like water... Princess Chi Yang was really generous!
Wei Chi Qingyan looked at the busy generals and felt a burning passion in his heart - this was what it meant to be a soldier!
He likes this kind of atmosphere, Princess Chiyang is really good at it! After returning, he must tell his father about the method of training soldiers, and then train the Wei Chi family army well, and serve the country in the future!
"Big brother, where did Xiao Bing go? I've been looking for him for half a day!" Wei Chi Qinglian appeared beside him with a red face.
Wei Chi Qingyan helplessly looked at his younger sister, "Qinglian, I see you're being chased by the Fourth Young Master again. The sons and daughters of the Wei Chi family are not rare to him!"
"Brother, I think he's got skills!"
He's just following the orders of Princess Chi Yang and scolding soldiers with a straight face all day, what kind of skill is that?
No wonder people say that lovers are blind, his sister doesn't even know if she can be saved. Wei Chi Qingyan sighed and advised with a heavy heart: "Qinglian, the Fourth Young Master will always just be the Fourth Young Master, don't waste your thoughts on him. I asked him, he said he won't leave Princess Chuyang."
Wei Chi Qinglian's eyes dimmed, she also knew that Xiao Bing would not take her seriously anymore. For a month now, she had been devoted and considerate, but he just didn't appreciate it. If she wasn't so stubborn, she wouldn't have held on for so long.
But she didn't want to give up on him!
"Qinglian, who do you think he is training these soldiers so hard for?"
Qinglian glared at her older brother with a hint of resentment: "Brother, can't you just let me be happy? Do you want to crush my spirits?"
"Who wants to hit Miss Qinglian?"
A soft and elegant voice came over, Wei Chi Qinglian raised her eyes to look at the person walking towards them, with a very complicated taste in her heart.
Wei Chi Qingyan saw Chen Xi and hastily paid his respects: "Qingyan has seen the princess."
Smiling faintly, he waved his hand: "No need to be polite, General Wei Chi and General Shi. Tonight's hot pot dinner, would you two like to join me at the same table? Consider it my apology for neglecting you both lately."
"It's an honor to be invited by Your Highness."
"Alright, see you at dinner time." Chen Xi gave a smile to the two siblings before leaving with Zhuge Jingze.
Just then, a figure rushed over, "Princess, princess—"
Huāzi was panting slightly as he blocked Chenxi, who looked at him curiously. This month she had been cold to him for a long time, but this guy just wouldn't take the hint and leave Xichen City. Since Chenxi found him boring, she let him be in charge of procurement for this trip.
"Zi Xuan is running so quickly, is there something big?"
Hua Zi smiled and said: "Nothing, just wondering if we can also have a table together tonight?"
Zhuge Jingze looked at him guardedly, "Is the Flower Master looking for another chance to do something good again?"
"No, absolutely not, princess! I'm also a guest! You've been ignoring me these days too!" He said with a pout on his face, showing his discontent.
Zhuge looked at him with great disdain and was even more displeased in his heart.
"Princess, tonight's seating arrangement..." A general appeared before them, his face seemingly somewhat embarrassed.
"Qingze, go and help with the arrangements, just follow the original plan I set out."
Zhuge Jingze looked at Huazi Xuan with some displeasure, not wanting to let him cling to Chenxiu but unable to avoid dealing with the matter as he was a high-ranking general.
Watching Zhuge Jingze being led away, Hua Zixuan's mouth corner revealed a triumphant smile. "Princess, I'll accompany you for a walk, the purchasing matters have all been taken care of."
"Okay, let's go for a walk."
