Chapter 117 The Young General Has Gone Bad
After making the simple arrangements, Xu Tianyi left.
The remaining opportunists each received three sticks to clean up the mess and then left.
There were a total of thirty-eight commanders, and they were all a little uneasy when they returned.
Soon, three officials appeared beside each commander: a group leader, a squad leader, and a bodyguard.
The group leader is responsible for management, while the class monitor does odd jobs and learns on the side.
Bodyguards aren't just bodyguards; they also select some from those who are eliminated to work as city management officers, city guards, and police officers.
The first thing to do was to take these commanders to select people.
Soon, each team had been filled with two hundred people.
They also selected twelve commanders from the new recruits.
They formed fifty groups, each with two hundred people, which brought the total to over ten thousand.
These team leaders weren't just sitting idly by. At first, they were a little scared and uncomfortable, but after Manager Hu held a meeting with them, they all became qualified managers.
When it comes to my performance and money, how can I not be careful? If my team gets eliminated, then I won't have worked a single penny for nothing for a month.
The team leader who ranks first receives a high salary of one hundred taels of silver per month and is also given an honorary plaque. Once ten such teams are formed, the leader is promoted directly.
The two are vastly different, and they are unlikely to compromise their principles when faced with interests.
He memorized the new military regulations perfectly and was very attentive to the soldiers.
They are responsible for everything from eating and drinking to their basic needs, including clothing, food, housing, and transportation. They even have to become their psychologists, constantly giving them pep talks.
Soon, the soldiers stopped seeking help from their commander and went directly to their squad leader when they needed something.
The team leader also gained a lot of praise and support from the soldiers.
Compared to the team leader, the commander quickly lost out, because the team leader loved them even more than the commander did.
They can absolutely eat from the same pot.
Since it concerns their own wallets, they will naturally take it seriously.
Meanwhile, the commanders received similar salaries to the team leaders, and they were quite content. Their daily tasks consisted only of training and assisting the team leaders. They didn't have to worry about anything else.
Training was even simpler, with Yue Pingzhi providing guidance and taking full responsibility for everything.
He was even in charge of military law.
After seven days of training, Yue Pingzhi had great respect for Xu Tianyi and held Manager Hu in even higher regard.
The other party clearly came to share power, but managed to keep everyone from feeling too unhappy or having too many conflicts; he is truly a talented person.
Numerous conflicts arose during the training, such as power struggles between the commander and the team leader.
Both men are good at boosting morale, but their responsibilities conflict. After Manager Hu's coordination, the focus of boosting morale shifted to the overall leadership, with adjustments made based on the specific circumstances of each group.
Then came the conflicts within the ranks: new recruits disobeyed their superiors, and veterans disobeyed their squad leaders.
These are actually easy to handle: each person gives a speech and then recruits people to join the other leaders' teams.
But let me make this clear: if there are fewer people, the wages will be less. Each person will receive half a tael. If a hundred people leave your team, you'll lose fifty taels.
With fewer people, it's true that you're more likely to get a good ranking, but you definitely won't get a promotion.
Especially if the team leader leaves, you definitely can't compete with them. Putting aside whether you get a ranking, you might already be eliminated.
Without a team leader, you'll have to do their job, which isn't going to be easy.
That being said, there are tough challenges that must be tackled.
This resulted in each group having a different number of people.
Some have over a thousand people, while others have only a dozen or so.
Xu Tianyi came over to take a look after he learned about this.
They immediately brought in another 10,000 new recruits, and still assigned 200 to each.
This time, there were no group leaders to assign tasks, so the class monitor was split up to become a group leader and then assigned tasks to them again.
However, if the final number of participants is less than one hundred, then their group will be canceled.
These tough guys immediately softened, speaking softly and politely to the team leader to discuss things together, and dared not offend the team leader again.
In subsequent training sessions, there were instances where team leaders and commanders had conflicts and demanded a change of commander; those who passed the two-thirds vote were dismissed.
If the team leader fails to perform their duties, the supervisor will report it to Manager Hu for resolution. If the team leader is truly incompetent, a replacement will be requested.
In this way, the entire 20,000-strong military camp immediately became well-organized and began to engage in intense competition.
A month later, the assessment will begin, and all the troublemakers will start to go crazy.
The assessment includes military formation drills, long-distance raids, emergency assembly, assault drills, siege drills, obstacle courses, and more.
These were all agreed upon by Yue Pingzhi, Xu Tianyi, and Manager Hu.
Ultimately, it's just a formality.
While reorganizing the army, Xu Tianyi himself was slowly recovering under Yin Ziping's care. The necessary medicines were strongly supported by Ji Canghai and the Shen family, and even assisted by the King of Chu.
Half a month later, the King of Chu sent 200,000 shi of grain, but naturally did not provide any military equipment.
Seven days ago, he asked Xu Tianyi to send Wei Qing over, but Xu Tianyi refused.
Immediately, the King of Chu demanded that Xu Tianyi order Yue Shan to withdraw his troops.
Because half of Yuzhou had already been captured by Yue Shan.
In just ten days, Yue Shan was able to conquer half of Yuzhou, which was protected by a navy. It must be said that Yue Shan's military strategy was not bad.
The King of Chu was good in every way, except his army was truly incompetent.
Helpless, the King of Chu could only send someone to plead with Xu Tianyi, while also trying to sow discord between the King of Qi and the Yue family in the court.
After employing this two-pronged approach, Yue Shan's army halted.
The King of Chu breathed a sigh of relief, though he didn't know which side had worked.
This is why he was able to deliver the provisions five days later.
Yue Shan stopped, for reasons on both sides.
It was mainly Xue Mantian who was behind it all.
Despite winning the battle, there was no credit, and the more Yue Shan thought about it, the more absurd it seemed.
He even tried to undermine Yue Shan, hindering his progress and forcibly demanding that Yue Shan cross the river and launch a quick attack. Yue Shan, who had already been persuaded by Xu Tianyi, became even more angry and directly berated Xue Mantian as a clueless scoundrel.
They're clearly on high alert, yet they expect me to cross the river with their online army on my back? Even a pig-brain wouldn't come up with that.
To cross this river, half of my 20,000 elite troops will have to go.
Moreover, he allowed his soldiers to plunder, and his Imperial Preceptor's Mansion and the old generals he recruited even carried out massacres of the city. Yue Shan could no longer tolerate it.
The young man never imagined that people's hearts could be so treacherous and war so cruel.
Even though he won, he didn't kill too many people. Instead, it was these greedy rebels who became brutal and inhumane after their great victory.
He had no choice; if his father hadn't been still in Zhongzhou, he might already be fighting a civil war with Xue Mantian.
A few days ago, he wrote a letter to the capital of Zhongzhou, in which he stated that Xue Mantian, Lu Feiyang, Zhang Yulong and others were wantonly looting, killing innocent people and plundering their property.
He waited for a long time, initially thinking the messenger had been intercepted, but soon the messenger returned with a reply from Emperor Qi, Prince Shen Zhiyuan.
If you let him focus on attacking the King of Chu, he will strongly condemn the actions of Xue Mantian and others, and punish them by deducting their salaries.
Finally, Tiao Xue Mantian was sent to deal with the Yuanzhou Valley God Sect to prevent a conflict between them.
Yue Shan was so angry he laughed. Five or six hundred thousand people suffered, and they just ran away after fining them? How much is their salary?
He conquered seven counties and more than fifty cities on his own.
They've taken so much from it, and they're still transporting it now.
When Yue Pojun asked him what to do, Yue Shan looked sinister.
"If he's ruthless, don't blame me for being ruthless! Send Xue Mantian's information to Xu Tianyi and ask him what he thinks."
Yue Pojun looked doubtful: "Didn't he not have an army?"
Yue Shan's lips slowly curled up: "He may not have it, but I do. If he can't take it, we will!"
Yue Pojun stared in disbelief: "Young General, this is treason!"
“You and I will go find him tonight. Yue Fengping will keep an eye on the army.”
Yue Pojun sighed, feeling somewhat helpless. His young general had actually turned bad...
