There are still a lot of vacant captains after 55 captains have been appointed, how can we choose these captains?”
“Right, our Zhejiang Army has 1,200 new brothers this time, according to the calculation of ten people per unit, at least 120 units have been added, so accordingly 120 unit commanders have to be added, these 55 unit commanders have been set, and there are still 60 or so unit commanders yet to be set, so don’t we still have a chance?”
“In that case, we may still have a chance? Hahaha, great, some days ago, I had a haemorrhoid attack, my strength was only fifty percent, the result of the disciplinary examination was not satisfactory, I saw Tie Dan and Dali become captains, my intestines regretted, if there is still a chance, I will definitely grasp it.”
The crowd of Zhejiang Army generals were envious of Song TieDan and the others, some reacted to the fact that there was still a vacancy for a captain slot, and all of them were excited in anticipation.
Zhu Pingan looked at the crowd’s expectant eyes, smiled slightly, and then said, “Generals, after fifty-five captains were selected through the disciplinary examination, there are still sixty-five captain slots left. These sixty-five slots for the captains of the army are still determined through a competition, just like last time. All veterans and all new recruits could participate in the competition to select a captain, and the ultimate winner of a unit was the captain. It’s still the same saying, a soldier who doesn’t want to be a general isn’t a good soldier, the opportunity is right in front of you guys, it’s up to you guys whether or not you can grasp it.”
“Your Honour is wise!”
“We will definitely grasp the opportunity! Live up to your lordship’s expectations!”
A group of zhejiang army heard the words of zhu pingan, one by one cheered excitedly, rubbing their fists, eager to try.
Yiwu recruits are also excited, did not expect that they also have the opportunity to compete in the competition for the captain, this is an opportunity to change their fate, to participate in the Zhejiang army recruitment is really the most sensible choice they have made in their lives.
With the experience of the last test to determine the captain, this time although there are twice as many people, but organised in a methodical and orderly manner.
First, to determine the personnel of each unit, register, and then a unit to occupy a small field, began to draw lots to compete ……
Zhu Pingan made the monitoring battalion, as well as the chiefs, post chiefs, generals, and battalion commanders take up the responsibility of supervision and inspection.
Zhu Pingan himself also inspected the entire field, taking in the performance of all the people in his eyes, and recording those who had outstanding performance and extraordinary skills in the sparring match in his mind, as potential targets to focus on and cultivate in the future.
“My lord, Miss Painter accompanied Madam to visit your lord, accompanied by many people and many cars, a huge crowd.”
While Zhu Pingan was inspecting the situation of the preparation for the low competition, a guard at the Regulus Gate came jogging all the way to report.
Why is Li Shu here?In the morning, we were still having breakfast together, it’s only been less than an hour since we parted, huh, so soon you miss me again.
Really, with a big belly, running so far is not worrying people, wait for me to go back at night is not good.
If two love is a long time, it is not in the morning and evening. When I see Li Shu, I’ll have to give her a good talking to. If there’s a next time, I won’t let her off lightly.
Zhu Pingan could not help but shake his head, but the corners of his mouth hooked up uncontrollably, hurriedly explaining to Liu Mu and the others to supervise and record the situation of the competition of the various ranks, and then he himself led the soldiers guarding the gate all the way to the Regulator Gate at a brisk pace.
When he arrived at the Regulator Gate, he really saw Li Shu who was surrounded by Painter, Qin’er and other maids.
Seeing Zhu Pingan, Li Shu smiled sweetly.
She smiles and looks at the beautiful eyes, and all the scenery in the world is not as beautiful as the beautiful eyes of a good person at this moment.
Zhu Pingan, who had slept together last night and dined together this morning, could not help but be amazed by Li Shu’s peach blossom face.
Giggle, look, the aunt looked dumbfounded it ……” A girl covered her small mouth and giggled.
“Cough cough, wait for me to go back at night is not good, with a big belly, running so far how to make people worry ah.”
Zhu Pingan’s old face could not help but slightly red, coughed, quickly stepped forward and said in a warm voice, as for the didactic words but could not say a word.
“Where is it far, it’s only a few miles, I came all the way in the carriage, the two little ones like to ride in the carriage, the carriage stops, they still don’t comply.”
Li Shu whispered a defence, slender jade hand gently stroked down the pregnant belly, a pair of beautiful eyes flow, pouting little mouth pouted, “And ah, I came over this time, not specifically to see you ……”
“Not to see me, that is to see who?Is there a relative of our family in the camp?”
Zhu Pingan sniffed and couldn’t help but ask.
Lol, auntie is jealous.”Qin’er and also Painting’er covered their little mouths and laughed with a giggle.
“Where are the relatives ah. It’s not all because of you, last night was going to tell you about it, but as a result, you had to …… have to educate the child, causing me to forget to tell you, so I had to come over again.”Li Shu reddened her pretty face, charmingly dug a hard glance at Zhu Pingan, and pouted.
“Ahem, what to tell me ah?”
Zhu Pingan coughed, thinking of last night’s scene of educating the child, he couldn’t help but get parched, and hurriedly coughed, changing the topic.
“On my way from the capital, I recruited a few blacksmiths on the way and procured some iron ingots and other things, I was going to tell you last night so that you would bring them along with you when you came to the camp in the morning, it’s all your fault that I had to make another trip.”
Li Shu pointed to the group of blacksmiths, apprentices and the caravan spreading over a hundred metres that followed behind, and said in a cloudy manner, as if recruiting them was just a hiccup on the road, and procuring so many caravans of iron ingots and other materials was just a small and inconsequential matter.
Zhu Pingan followed Li Shu’s hand and looked back, seeing nearly twenty blacksmiths in costume, as well as seventy to eighty wagons pulling goods, he couldn’t help but close his mouth in surprise, ”These people are all blacksmiths? So many carts of iron ingot materials ah ……I was worried that it’s hard to recruit blacksmiths and hard to refine iron ingots, sister Li you are really my timely rain.”
There are only ten blacksmiths recruited from nearby villages and towns in the camp, three of them are still apprentices who have just graduated from their apprenticeships and are not skilled enough in their crafts, and the production of lashings has to be preceded by melting down broken armour, which makes the progress of lashings production slow due to the constraints of manpower and materials.
Worrying about the progress of the tie sheet can not keep up with the cotton armour, Li Shu sent these blacksmiths and iron ingots are really a relief.
“Not all of them are blacksmiths, five are blacksmiths and the other thirteen are apprentices.”Li Shu casually said.
“Auntie, Auntie, these five blacksmiths are not ordinary blacksmiths. They are all famous master blacksmiths in Yangzhou, one of the blacksmiths is still the first blacksmith in Yangzhou, but also research what the shocking thunder, fire crow arrows and other things; there are two blacksmiths of the Bureau of Warfare, said that the Bureau of Warfare built artillery, the other two are also blacksmiths family. What’s more, those thirteen apprentices are not ordinary apprentices, they are all mature apprentices with six or seven years of experience in ironworking, in the villages and towns below, the average blacksmiths can’t compare to them.”
Qin’er knows a lot about these blacksmiths, see his own young lady said simple, busy then added.
“Shocking thunderbolts, artillery, surprisingly, they are also firearms smiths!”After hearing this, Zhu Pingan was overjoyed, his mouth was grinning up to his ears, his eyes were gleaming as if he was looking at a treasure towards the nearly twenty blacksmiths at the back.
“Cluck, Auntie look at their eyes are glowing, it is really like what Miss said, these smelly blacksmiths in our eyes, in Auntie’s eyes inside a thousand dainty tight ……”Qin’er ate and laughed.
Li Shu sniffed and smiled faintly, like a spring breeze blowing across the surface of a pool, her face rippled with happiness.
