Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 4 Opportunities
"Extreme means must be used to do extraordinary things."---Excerpt from "Quotations of the Emperor of the Empire"---.
Just when everyone was a little confused, Wufeng had already started to implement his second step plan. He is not satisfied with his current position at all, he needs to obtain a higher position in a short time to prepare for his next step, and the training cannot be slack, so he boldly handed over the squadron training work to Liang Chongxin. Free yourself up to plan your next step. The next step up to the squadron leader is the leader of the brigade, but Wufeng didn't take the deputy position into account at all, and the goal was the brigade leader. I have just been promoted in an exceptional way, and it is generally impossible for me to be promoted again in a short period of time, let alone promoted two levels in a row. While the brigade leaders have the power to submit approvals at the wing level, but the decision-making power is at the division level. If you want to go to the next level in the short term, you have to find another way.
The third division is stationed in the outskirts outside the north gate of the imperial capital. The division commander is a mediocre and old-fashioned middle-aged nobleman named Hawker. It is said that he is a relative of the Deputy Minister of Military Affairs Pick. I just go to the headquarters of the division every Monday to listen to the reports at all levels, and arrange the work step by step. The general affairs are handled by the deputy army chief and the chief of staff. Next to this guy is an attendant named Jia Bu, who is stingy and greedy by nature, and loves to take advantage of small things. He is a villain who pretends to be powerful, but he has won Hawker's trust, and the people below hate him very much. After Wu Feng learned about these situations through various channels, he decided to make an idea from this guy named Jia Bu. He first found out about Jia Bu's daily routine through some idlers on the streets of the imperial capital, and learned that this guy would go to a teahouse called Wangyuexuan in the eastern part of the imperial capital to drink tea almost every afternoon, and he heard about the storytellers. So Wufeng also changed into plain clothes and went to this teahouse called Wangyuexuan to drink tea and listen to books in the afternoon for several consecutive days. After observing, Wufeng found that this guy was really stingy. In the middle, I heard that the best position for books, the storyteller came to ask for rewards but never gave them. Fortunately, the guys here didn't bother with him, probably it's not surprising.
Wufeng sat next to Jia Bu intentionally or unintentionally while drinking tea, and commented on the storyteller's stories with Jia Bu from time to time. The storyteller is talking about the Tanghe Empire, which was very popular in tea houses and hotels all over the empire. When the Tanghe Empire was founded, the six major families assisted the Situ family to gradually establish the glorious history of the Tanghe Empire. , which is also one of the most frequently told stories by storytellers. Due to Wufeng's deliberate arrangement, the two often sat together and drank tea. Within a month, they became acquainted with Jia Bu. Wufeng also paid tea money for Jia Bu from time to time, and sometimes gave tips to the storyteller . Later, Wufeng invited Jia Bu to drink. After many times, Jia Bu also felt a little embarrassed, and wanted to invite Wufeng back, but Wufeng refused.
Jia Bu is also a very obedient person. When he was drinking, he intentionally or unintentionally asked Wu Feng if he needed any help. Plan, I hope Jia Bu can help, and I will thank you after success. After careful consideration, Jia Bu felt that the matter was risk-free and could generate income, so why not do it as a smooth favor, so he readily agreed.
Wufeng's plan is to ask Jia Bu to find a way to let the head of the Hawker Division to inspect the work of the Fourth Regiment at an appropriate time, and to watch the drills of some teams. He expressed his amazement at the rehearsal of the squadron, and then he did a good job in Hawker's ideological work, so that Hawker affirmed Wufeng's achievements and actively asked for Wufeng's promotion. Generally speaking, if the head of the division calls for the promotion of a brigade captain, it should be approved without any problems. In this way, the Wufeng Project will be a complete success. The success of this plan depends to a large extent on the influence of Jabu on the head of Hawker's division. Jabu said that there is absolutely no problem, and the performance of Wufeng's squadron is outstanding. The two made an appointment to go down and prepare separately. Once Wufeng was ready, he would immediately notify Jia Bu, and Jia Bu would do the job as the head of Hawker's division and go to the Fourth Regiment for inspection.
When Wufeng made an appointment with Jia Bu, the three-month intensive training led by Liang Chongxin came to an end. Satisfied with the choice and more confident in the success of my plan. At the concluding meeting of the training task, Wufeng commended those who performed well in the training according to Liang Chongxin's list of suggestions, and prepared to report to the superior for promotion. The training was a complete success. Wufeng also actively reported to the brigade and the alliance, and asked the superiors to come to check and accept. On the other hand, Wufeng also contacted Jia Bu in the city, asking him to take action in the near future.
A week later, the Fourth Wing of the Third Division received a notice that the head of the division would personally inspect the work of the Fourth Wing. Division heads rarely go down to the grassroots. This time, they chose the fourth regiment alone, which has to be taken seriously. To this end, the Wing asked its subordinate units to prepare for the inspection.
Three days later, the head of the Hawker division and the leaders of other divisions visited the Fourth Regiment as scheduled. The Fifth Brigade conducted a report exercise. During the exercise, the fighters of the Third Squadron led by Wufeng were full of energy, high morale, and well-trained. They were obviously superior to other squadrons and won the praise of the leaders at all levels present. Even Hawke The head of Er's division was also very satisfied, and Jia Bu took the opportunity to add fuel to the flames. Hawker immediately asked Wufeng to report the training situation. After being born in a noble family, the head of Hawker's division immediately stated that young and promising officers like Wufeng should be promoted to a more important position as a chief officer to strengthen the training of recruits, and asked the leaders of the Fourth Wing to consider it immediately. He also affirmed the work of the Fourth Wing.
Regarding the proposal of the division head, other leaders of the division also expressed their approval, so the leadership of the fourth regiment quickly made a decision to appoint Li Wufeng as the commander of the fifth battalion of the fourth regiment of the third division of the Imperial City Guards Corps. Captain, the military rank was promoted to lieutenant, the former captain of the fifth brigade was transferred to the second brigade as the brigade captain, the former second brigade captain was transferred to the first brigade as the brigade captain, and the former first brigade captain was promoted to the director of the logistics department of the wing , reported to the division for approval, and the head of Hawker's division and the leaders of other divisions agreed immediately.
Under Wufeng's strong recommendation, Liang Chongxin's proposal to replace Wufeng as the captain of the third squadron was also approved. At noon, the fourth regiment hosted a banquet for the leaders of the division at Dengxiange, a very famous wine in the western part of the imperial capital. Wufeng was also notified to participate. Toasted with the leader of the alliance, and the leader also encouraged the two of them. Before the banquet was over, Wu Feng took advantage of people not paying attention, and gave Jia Bu a kit containing one hundred gold coins, but Jia Bu didn't refuse, and accepted it knowingly.
In just over two years, Wufeng has grown from an ordinary soldier to a captain leading nearly a thousand people, and he has become the pride of the recruits. The recruits all regard Wufeng as an idol and admire him deeply. At Wufeng's inauguration ceremony as the captain of the Fifth Brigade, Wufeng gave an impromptu speech.
"Brothers, two years ago, like most of you here, I was just a new recruit. Through two years of hard work and opportunities, I was honored to be your captain. I am no better than you Smart can do a lot, but I know to train hard and work hard. I think that as long as you are like me, you will have more opportunities in the future. But what I want to say is that the current situation is severe, and we may go to the battlefield anytime, anywhere. Opportunities are of course More, the risk will be greater, the enemy will not be kind to us because we are new recruits or not trained enough, you will be baptized by blood and fire on the battlefield, only after the test of life and death will you become a real warrior .Remember this sentence, sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime, you will have more chances only when you are stronger than the enemy. I hope that all squadrons will learn from the third squadron and work harder in future training. Try to catch up with or surpass them as soon as possible. Brothers, don't waste your time, use your own hands to create opportunities, and strive to realize your value on the stage of life."
What he said made the soldiers off the field excited, and won thunderous applause from nearly a thousand soldiers on the field, which lasted for a long time. Later historians once evaluated the first speech of the founding emperor of the empire, and thought it was not very successful, because the language was full of threats and temptations, but he took himself as an example, made full use of the soldiers' motivation, and successfully provoked the soldiers Their enthusiasm laid a good foundation for future training.
The year 689 in the Gregorian calendar of the mainland was a year of unrest. Just when Wufeng led all the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Brigade into the fervent military training, an unexpected event disrupted Wufeng's military training plan, making Wufeng Wufeng, who was less than nineteen years old, experienced the cruelty of war in advance, which also greatly stimulated Wufeng's desire for power.
Entering autumn, it should be a harvest season, but Yanyun County, Beiyuan County, and Heshuo County in the northern part of the empire suffered locust plagues after the severe drought. Many counties had almost no harvest. The funds will be used for the war with the Luobei nomads on the northwest border in the coming year, so the tax burden on the northern parts has not been reduced. In addition, some local landlords and businessmen have hoarded food, causing food prices to skyrocket, and ordinary farmers are miserable. , Small-scale peasant riots against rent and tax occurred one after another, and the imperial authorities adopted a high-pressure policy, and the situation was turbulent.
On the vast Liberian plain north of the Tanghe Empire, there are still several countries. Although their strength is not as strong as the Tanghe Empire, they should not be underestimated. Their residents are different from the Tanghe Empire. They are mainly Caucasian. Their ancestors migrated from the Western Continent hundreds of years ago, and then gradually intermarried with the local residents, and finally formed the current situation.
These countries have similar ethnicities, religions, histories, customs and habits, and their relations are relatively good. Their national strengths are not much different. The Kaman Empire is the strongest, and several royal families are related by marriage. These countries are distributed in the north and northeast of the Tang River Empire. From west to east, they are the Heathrow Empire, the Kaman Empire, and the Kingdom of Poole, and the Dorton Kingdom is located in the northeast. Among them, the relationship between the Dorton Kingdom and the Empire is average, while the relationship between the other three countries and the Empire has been tense in recent decades. Armed conflicts in the border areas have continued, and major wars have occurred many times. The most recent one was seven years ago. There is another country sandwiched between the Kaman Empire and the Kingdom of Poole and the Empire, that is, the Principality of Terok. Its territory and population are only equivalent to a medium-sized county in the Empire, and it has a very close relationship with the Empire.
Budley City, the capital of the Kaman Empire. In the middle of the wide Stanley Street is a grand building, which is the famous Imperial Chancellor's Mansion. In a secret room at the west corner of the Chancellor's Mansion, a short, middle-aged man is sitting on the upper chair, concentrating on his work. Listen to the report of a middle-aged man standing at the bottom.
"At present, several small-scale riots in the local area have been suppressed by the local security forces. However, through our local people doing work and connecting them, several leaders in the riots are preparing to unite~IndoMTL.com~ Organize a big riot, but‧‧‧‧”
The middle-aged man hesitated to speak, and the short, fat man's eagle-like eyes fell on the middle-aged man's face. "But what, just say what you have to say."
"The subordinates think that even if they all unite, it may be difficult to succeed."
"Oh, tell me what you think."
"They are nothing more than some peasants and slaves mingled together. Although there are some talents among them, they have neither formal training nor weapons and supplies. Even if we provide intelligence information, they will eventually fail. It's just a matter of time. Sooner or later."
"You don't need to think about this issue. You just need to arrange for our people to do everything in their power to provide them with intelligence information, but it is limited to providing intelligence information and not to participate in it. And we must pay attention to the methods and methods. We must not expose our People, you have to keep this in mind. Report any situation in time."
"Subordinates, remember, if the adults have nothing else to do, the villains will leave first."
"Okay, you should take a rest and pay attention to your body."
"Thank you for your concern."
After the middle-aged man left the secret room, the chunky man sat on a chair and fell into deep thought. "At first, I didn't hope that a group of mobs could do anything big. I just hoped to consume some of the opponent's strength. The longer the delay, the better, the better for us. It would be even better if we could attract some of the enemy's regular army. Opportunities are also created. Come out." The short and fat man muttered to himself. If there is no introduction, no one who does not know him will believe that this unattractive, short and fat man is Gomez, the prime minister of the Kaman Empire known as the "iron-fisted prime minister".
