Pan Mansion, Duke of Zheng.
The chief steward came in and reported: "Master, Mr. Xie is here."
Pan Renmei snorted coldly: "What kind of uncle is he! Your Majesty is our uncle, drive him away!"
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but wonder:
"Don't you think highly of him, sir? Besides, Xie Jinwu won the first prize and will be awarded a knighthood in the future. His future is bright."
Pan Renmei sneered:
"He does have some abilities, but unfortunately he is short-sighted and has become useless."
"Title? He has a good idea. If I hadn't wanted to give some people a revolutionary attitude, I wouldn't have agreed to any imperial soldiers."
"A few scholars have wild ideas and want to train elite soldiers? They are lucky if they don't cause public dissatisfaction."
"Only people like Cao Bin can fool around with military training..."
The first steward said in surprise: "Didn't you realize that Uncle Zhongjing has such ability?"
Pan Renmei glanced at him and said:
"It doesn't require any skill, as long as he is willing to spend money..."
"Anyway, he is a 'dandy', and the court may not be suspicious of him."
The chief steward said: "Maybe?"
Pan Renmei ignored him and wrote a note saying:
"Send this letter to the Privy Council and let the Yang family be responsible for training another unit of soldiers."
The butler immediately didn't dare to say anything, quickly took the note and walked out.
Thinking of the Yang family's expressions, Pan Renmei sneered twice and fell into deep thought again...
Not long after, the official document from the Privy Council was sent to Tianbo Mansion.
Mu Guiying looked at the Privy Council's order and frowned:
"What do you mean? Pan Renmei wants to frame our Yang family again?"
The Privy Council officer said:
"General Mu, this is not what Master Pan meant."
"Training new recruits is related to the reputation of the New Deal. We can't waste the other two new recruits just because of officials' likes and dislikes."
"After much deliberation, I think only the Yang family is loyal and capable of taking on this job."
"For the sake of the overall interests of the imperial court, please feel aggrieved."
When Mu Guiying heard this, she almost threw the official document on his head.
The Yang family is loyal and upright, but not stupid. Why should we have to bear all the grievances?
What happened to Pang Ji last time also caused her title to be demoted by three levels.
Uncle Huntian, this is such an unpleasant title.
Seeing that Mu Guiying refused to agree, the official had to say:
"The Privy Council has put this job in the name of Tianbo Mansion."
"If you don't agree, just let those soldiers sit idle."
With that said, he stood up and left. This task was difficult because the ministers were guessing the emperor's attitude.
It was impossible for the Yang family to run to complain to the emperor.
Seeing him running away, Mu Guiying was so angry that she didn't say anything for a long time.
At this time, Aunt Yang and Sister Yang helped Old Mrs. She out and said:
"Guiying doesn't have to worry. Since you can't refuse, let's go ahead."
"Since the officials have determined that Cao Bin is good at training soldiers, let's fight for it."
"Otherwise, the court would think that my Yang family is inferior to a young boy like Cao Bin."
Mu Guiying looked at her aunt, rubbed her temples helplessly and said:
"Actually, a temporary victory or defeat will not benefit my Yang family at all."
Mrs. She sighed somewhat sadly:
"My Yang family is full of loyal people and loyal to the Song Dynasty, but we are always plotted by traitors. However...
Sister Yang thought for a while and said:
"The emperor likes people like Cao Bin. I think our family should learn from him."
Seeing everyone looking at her strangely, Sister Yang calmly said:
"I'm not wrong. Besides, you might as well change your mind."
"Since the emperor asked Cao Bin to train troops and fight for the title, it will also be a test for him."
"If Cao Bin can't win, it's because he doesn't have the ability. What does it have to do with us?"
Mu Guiying glanced at her in surprise and said with a smile:
"This makes sense. Let's compare ourselves with Cao Bin, lest he underestimate my general's ability."
As she spoke, she straightened her delicate body, and an awe-inspiring and majestic attitude emerged.
It seems that she has returned to the battlefield where the Liao army was defeated, and she is still the high-spirited and handsome woman.
When Sister Yang saw this, she smiled and secretly clenched her sword:
You have to be embarrassed this time, otherwise you don't know what you missed.
In the next few days, Cao Bin was extremely leisurely, spending time in his mansion to have fun with his lovely wife and concubine.
It wasn't until after a light snowfall in October that 15,000 new recruits were finally recruited, all of whom were farmers near Gyeonggi.
Recruit training camp outside the city.
Mu Guiying and Sister Yang looked at the chaotic crowd in front of them and didn't pay attention.
The new recruits are not trained. This has always been the case. The training needs to be stepped up.
So he quickly ordered the instructors of the Forbidden Army to help organize the team, which was orderly and smooth.
There was trouble with Xie Jinwu.
Before he could recover from the joy of commanding an army for the first time, he was angered by the commander of the imperial army.
These old fried dough sticks sent by the imperial court to help were not cooperative at all.
After working on it for most of the day, he couldn't even call out everyone's names, and he was left feeling very anxious.
In fact, he didn't know that Xu Ning and others from the Golden Gun Squad had been in the military for many years and were well-known figures.
The relationship in the Forbidden Army is complicated, so I have already trusted the relationship and said hello in advance.
Let these coaches go against him, and he won't be able to succeed anyway.
He knew nothing about this. He only thought that his qualifications were shallow and he could not convince the public, so he could only work harder.
There was a turmoil on both sides, but the five thousand people assigned to Cao Bin looked at each other.
The sun is already ten feet high, and my general has not shown up yet, and I don’t know if he overslept.
Some people had even gone to the shade of the trees to rest, while others were sitting on the ground chatting and spanking. The whole school was in chaos.
After another half an hour, the recruits in charge of the Yang family had gradually become organized.
Cao Bin hasn't shown up yet, and everyone is confused.
Sister Yang was quite disappointed and said, "Did he give up on his own?"
Xie Jinwu secretly felt more comforted. Although he didn't have a clue, he was working hard.
With Cao Bin at the bottom, I am not in a hurry.
The people in the capital were indeed not deceiving. This Cao Bin was a dandy. As long as he followed the steps, he would definitely be able to defeat him.
The trouble is that the female generals of the Yang family are their real enemies, and they must always pay attention to their progress.
In the blink of an eye, it's Chen Zheng's moment.
At this time, there was a commotion outside the school grounds.
Cao Bin's carriage was in front of him, and his beauty was beside him, so he arrived late.
Entering the school grounds, the instructors assisting him suddenly became energetic and quickly drove away the soldiers and said:
"Uncle Cao is here, quickly assemble the team."
The lazy recruits were very reluctant, but they had just arrived and did not dare to disobey orders, so they had to gather slowly.
At this time, the sedan suddenly shouted loudly:
"Uncle Cao has ordered that there will be no training today. He wants to reward the new recruits."
“Come some people, move things, and cook!”
As he spoke, he waved, and dozens of large vehicles filed into the school grounds.
It's full of meat and vegetables.
When the recruits heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up, they were refreshed, and they stepped forward one after another.
Sister Yang Bajie and Mu Guiying looked at each other and said:
"He can't survive? In addition to military rations, the court only gave ten thousand taels of silver. He wants to spend it all?"
Mu Guiying said:
"I'm afraid that he will use his own money to reward the soldiers because of his wealth. This is a taboo in the army."
