Soon after, Ran Liang began to summon meritorious officials in the big tent.
Zhang Hun, Wang Jing and other people who had made great contributions stood outside the tent and waited quietly.
Soon, Zhang Hun and Wang Jing were called in.
"Zhang Hun, Wang Jing! You have made great achievements this time, and this captain cannot but reward you!"
Ran Liang sat up high, and when he saw the two people coming in, he looked them over with his eyes, then stood up and waved to the military officer next to him to present them with military uniforms and badges.
In the camp, Army Sima Huang Sheng and Captain Zhou Gong stood on both sides.
Sha Zhen and other senior officers from the original team stood behind the army commander and the captain, a total of more than ten people.
Everyone's eyes followed Ran Liang and fell on Zhang Hun and Wang Jing.
Luckily for Zhang Hun, he was an old man from the beggar army and had made many meritorious deeds in the past. No one said much when he was promoted to team leader this time.
However, Wang Jing had only been here for more than ten days. Even though he had made great contributions and was suddenly promoted to the rank of team leader, many officers in the camp did not say anything, but most of them were dissatisfied in their hearts.
However, promotion is necessary for meritorious service. This is the decision made by Ran Liang and Jun Sima. No matter how dissatisfied they are, they have to suppress it.
"Zhang Hun, promoted to captain of the fifth team of the left army! Rewarded with a hundred silver coins and leading a group of soldiers!"
"Thank you Captain!"
Zhang Hun stepped forward to receive the military uniform and waist badge. Then he bowed down and worshiped.
"Wang Jing, I will appoint you as the captain of the East Lake Fort of the Tuntian Division. You will be rewarded with two hundred silver and lead a group of soldiers to go to the East Lake Tuntian on a selected day! If you have further merits, I will not hesitate to promote you to the captain!"
Is the East Lake Fort team correct?
Wang Jing's heart moved slightly, and he immediately stepped forward to accept the military uniform and token without having time to think deeply.
The other officers in the camp had different expressions after hearing the name of Donghu Fort, especially Sha Zhen, who showed a trace of worry.
After receiving the waist badge and military uniform.
Wang Jing and Zhang Hun thanked them and left.
Less than half an hour later, the merit rewards were finally over, and one by one the military commanders and troops were coming out of the camp.
"Team leader, I wonder where this East Lake Castle is?"
Wang Jing and Zhang Hun immediately found Sha Zhen and asked.
When he came out just now, Wang Jing was keenly aware of the expressions of other officers in the camp, and his heart sank slightly.
"East Lake Fort...has not been built yet, alas! You should know that there are three connected lakes a hundred miles east of our army, called East Lake!"
"The boundary of East Lake Fort is located on the west side of the lake, plus the north and south sides of the lake. The captain and Sima are planning to build three military strongholds. The three military strongholds are responsible for guarding against water thieves in the lake..."
Sha Zhen sighed a little. He originally arranged for Wang Jing to go to another place, but he didn't expect that something unexpected happened in the middle and it suddenly changed to Donghu Castle.
Wang Jing was speechless.
In other words, he will soon take his fifty subordinates and hundreds of people and move to the west side of East Lake.
Not only do you need to farm to support yourself, but you also need to build a camp to guard against the Liangshanshui thieves entrenched in the lake?
Is this distribution or reuse?
Wang Jing is very self-aware. He knows little about military training in the field. The only thing that is pretty good is his own strength. But Liangshan Water Village can occupy the three lakes, and there must be masters among them.
My own military strength and strength are inferior to others. If I rush to East Lake, wouldn't I be going to die?
"This...team leader, is there any other way now?"
Zhang Hun also understood Wang Jing's situation and asked quickly.
"There is no other way! The military order is like a mountain. Since the captain has made the appointment, he is determined not to change it!"
In fact, no one needed to say anything. Wang Jing had a slight thought in his mind and thought of the reason why he was sent to East Lake Castle.
The beggar army, which claims to be rewarded for meritorious deeds and easy to stand out, still has the historical influence of the Western Jin Dynasty that the top ranks have no poor families and the bottom ranks have no aristocratic families.
Wang Jing should be promoted for his meritorious service.
But after the promotion, the officers in the army, especially the veterans of the beggar army, couldn't help but feel angry.
Ran Liang had no choice but to worry about the thoughts of other officers in the army and simply sent Wang Jing to a dangerous place near East Lake. This can alleviate the secret dissatisfaction of military officers.
In addition, although East Lake is dangerous, it is also an easy place to make meritorious deeds.
As long as Wang Jing has the ability, he will naturally be able to make meritorious deeds again. By then, the complaints among the military officials had disappeared, and Wang Jing could be transferred back to a more important position.
With this in mind, Ran Liang specifically said at the end when he was conferring an official to Wang Jing in the big tent, as long as he had meritorious service, he would definitely be promoted!
It was a secret reminder to Wang Jing.
If Wang Jing was from the Western Jin Dynasty, he would definitely understand Ran Liang's behavior, and would also like to thank Ran Liang for his good intentions, and vowed to repay the school captain for his kindness...
Unfortunately.
Wang Jing was not from the Western Jin Dynasty. I am very disgusted with this method of pulling and pressing.
Wang Jing originally had a good impression of Colonel Ran Liang, but after this incident, not only did his impression of Ran Liang decline, but his favorable impression of the beggar army also became much weaker.
People in the Origin World all have unique pride deep in their hearts.
Especially coming to this new world and being among all kinds of ancient people, I feel arrogant in my heart.
Before the arrogance is shattered by the cruel reality, even if Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of Han come, it is impossible to subdue him.
According to the words of the ancients, people like Wang Jing were born "without a king or a father" and could not live under others for a long time.
Seemingly seeing that Wang Jing's expression was a little bad, Sha Zhen comforted him: "The military order cannot be changed, but I can say hello to you and prepare enough weapons, armor, food, grass and military equipment for you when you set off!"
"With armor and weapons, it shouldn't be difficult to defend a military stronghold!"
There is some truth in what he said.
After all, if Donghu really narrowly escaped death, the beggar army would not have wasted its rare troops and people.
Dangerous, but not fatal for the time being!
"Thank you, team leader!"
Wang Jing controlled his emotions and thanked Sha Zhen.
Return to the camp.
Wang Jing pulled Zhang Hun again and asked him to help find two corps commanders who could help train the soldiers.
Zhang Hun had pretty good connections, and at his request, he found two corps commanders who were older and starting to lose strength.
Although the two corps commanders are weak in strength, they have become more experienced with years of fighting experience.
Not only can it train soldiers, but it can also charge into battle without any problems.
"With the help of two veterans, there should be no problem in training the soldiers! I don't know how many elite beggars are there among the fifty people assigned to me?"
Wang Jing thought to himself.
In addition to strict training, the number of veterans in the army is also a very important factor in the strength of a troop.
There are many veterans in the army, which can lead new recruits, so they will not panic when facing battle.
As long as the recruits' minds are not disturbed, the soldiers and horses will be called elite soldiers after one or two tempers.
This time we go to East Lake.
Training troops is the most important, followed by farming and building camps.
People who are good at farming and fortification must be selected as soon as possible. At this moment, Wang Jing suddenly thought of the Ming Dynasty soldier Tian Liangyun he had met.
Military households in the Ming Dynasty were able to farm, train troops, and build camps...these are all basic skills!
Of course, in the late Ming Dynasty, the ability of military households to train troops may have disappeared, but the ability to establish camps and build camps was certainly not lacking.
"And Jiang Zhixiong! He is good at water warfare and can also be roped in to guard against Liangshan water thieves!"
Wang Jing kept thinking.
