"Very good, then it's settled. - Generals, go back today and immediately convey the officer's competitive appointment plan. Make sure that every soldier knows it clearly. If the officer asks which soldier does not know,

Yes, I will hold you accountable! Li Jilong is a role model for those who keep giving orders! Do you hear me clearly?"

All the generals stood up, clasped their fists and raised their hands, shouting like thunder: "I will obey the order!"

"Very good!" Leng Yi looked at Dang Jin, "You should go back immediately to convey the deployment and draft a specific competition plan. First, conduct a military merit evaluation in the whole battalion - the military merit registrar of the third yamen will check on the spot. The military merit will be selected in public.

The top ten people, the first two serve as battalion commanders and deputy commanders. The last eight serve as the capital commanders of the trial court. The rest of the entire battalion officers must compete in physical fitness and martial arts competitions, and the winners are elected to the following divisions.

Senior General and Party General, please send your detailed plan to me for review and revision before this evening. It will start at your headquarters tomorrow morning!"

Dang Jin hurriedly bowed and agreed: "The last general will take your orders!"

Leng Yi glanced at all the generals present and said: "Brothers, tomorrow we will go with the officers to the First Army of the Guards Ma Junsi Xiaomeng Left Wing to observe the selection competition. The newly elected generals who will be decided within tomorrow will be personally appointed by the officers.

!”

When they came out of the office, everyone was talking a lot. Some were talking and laughing, some were shaking their heads and sighing, some were waiting to see the joke, and some were indifferent.

Dang Jin and Zhang Chuan deliberately walked behind the others. Zhang Chuan whispered: "General, what should we do?"

Dang Jin said sadly: "Tomorrow's selection is scheduled to start with Li Jilong and the others. Go back and provoke him again. He has a bad temper. When Leng Yi wanted to arrest him, he resisted. Later, he was beaten again.

Leng Yi ordered him to be beaten with a rod, and was slapped and shackled for more than a month. He would never swallow such a shame and humiliation. Hehe, when he goes back later, he will be assigned to the hardest and most tiring job.

The last day will definitely arouse his anger further. What kind of selection will be held tomorrow? Let him, an old guy, compete with those young guys. It will disgrace him and further anger him. However, although this old guy is old, he has good physical strength. Especially

His martial arts skills are very high and he will definitely be elected as the head of the capital. When Leng Yi gives the appointment to the winner of the capital tomorrow, he will instigate this old guy to rise up and kill Leng Yi! His fist can smash the bluestone! Leng Yi

Can that scholar Yi’s head withstand this? Hey, when the time comes, let’s go up together and kill Li Jilong, and everything will be fine, right?”

Zhang Chuan stroked his hands and said, "Great idea! It's just that Leng Yi said that the entire battalion must first conduct a military merit evaluation. Li Jilong's military exploits are outstanding, let alone the entire battalion. Even the entire army is among the best. According to Leng Yi, the entire battalion must be ranked first."

The top two in the battalion's military merits serve as commanders and deputy commanders and will no longer participate in labor and martial arts competitions. Then won't Li Jilong not be able to participate in this competition?"

Dang Jin looked around and glared at him: "You pig head! You will not talk about the selection of military merit first! Tell him, just say that Leng Yi said that his military merit is nothing, he must participate in labor and

Competing in martial arts, otherwise you will be a soldier. Forcing this old guy to participate in the competition and letting him compete as a majestic general with small soldiers will arouse his anger even more!"

Zhang Chuan exclaimed with admiration: "The general understands the general's clever plan. Hey, now, Leng Yi will definitely not escape death!"

"Well! The key to success or failure is to see how to further arouse the anger of the old guy Li Jilong!"

The next day, morning.

Leng Yi led hundreds of senior generals to the Jinmingchi construction site.

Jinming Pond is full of people, with flags of various numbers fluttering in the wind. People digging, transporting earth, carrying stones, and cutting down trees are busy in an endless stream. Because each army and civilian team has its own area of ​​responsibility,

It was carried out in pieces, but Leng Yi only asked to excavate one-tenth of the area first, so the people were very concentrated, and it was really like a sea of ​​people.

After more than a month, huge artificial lake pits have been dug out on the construction site.

Leng Yi led the generals, under the protection of the escort team, to the construction site of the First Army of the Xiang Army under the command of the Party Jin. According to the action plan drawn up yesterday, the site had been cleared, and there were soldiers watching and encouraging on the outside.

, all of them opened their eyes wide and looked very excited. This was the first time they had heard of and encountered such a selection of generals. They were all eager to try, especially those who were strong and had martial arts skills.

He seemed even more excited.

The viewing platform for Leng Yi and those senior generals was set up on the upper part of the huge artificial lake that had been excavated, and the labor and martial arts competition was held in the venue below. From a high position, you could see very clearly.

With an order, the game begins.

There are 100 people in each group, divided into groups of five, and divided into twenty groups. First, they have to dig and move soil. Within one meal (half an hour), the top two who move the most soil will advance to the next round. A total of four

The ten selected candidates will compete in martial arts, and two will win out of three rounds. The winner will serve as the officer of each group, and the loser will be eliminated.

Leng Yi watched with a smile and quickly decided the winner. Twenty winners competed again until the capital's chief and deputy chief were selected.

The competition was very tense, and the soldiers watching kept laughing and applauding. Most of the original guards, Cheng Ju, General Yu Hou, Ten Generals, Army Chiefs, Deputy Chiefs and Chiefs were defeated in the contest.

, the soldiers who were successfully promoted were extremely excited, looking at Leng Yi and the others on the stage expectantly, and some couldn't believe whether they could really be elected as junior officers through this competition.

When the first-ranking officers and deputy chief officers of the First Capital stood in a row, Leng Yi walked out slowly and handed them the officers' uniforms and letters of commission that he had prepared in advance.

At this time, the onlookers burst into enthusiastic cheers, and the newly elected generals were even more excited. They knelt down on one knee, cupped their fists, and kowtowed to the commander-in-chief.

As the capital was progressing like this, it was almost noon when Leng Yi saw a familiar figure among the new people entering the competition. It was Li Jilong, the former commander of the horse army who had been demoted by him!

After more than a month of public torture in shackles, he looked very haggard, with his gray hair and beard blowing slightly in the wind. He squinted his old eyes and looked at Leng Yi on the stage with a little indifference.

Leng Yi's expression was as usual, and he did not even turn his head to look at the new Ma Jundu Commander next to him. He seemed to have not noticed Li Jilong.

At the beginning of the competition, I didn’t expect that although Li Jilong was older, he was still very strong. He could dig and pick up dirt and walk as fast as flying. He won the first place in his group in one fell swoop. In the subsequent martial arts competition, he easily defeated his opponent and successfully advanced to the next level.

One round.

Subsequently, in various competitions, he passed all the tests, and finally easily won the first place in his camp and was elected as the capital leader!

Leng Yi was very happy. Accompanied by Dang Jin and other senior generals, he slowly walked down the platform and came to the elected generals. The first one was Li Jilong.

Leng Yi looked at his old face covered with sweat and said: "It turns out to be General Li. No wonder he is so powerful."

Li Jilong looked at him without speaking.

Leng Yi took the tray containing Dutou's commission and military uniform, handed it to Li Jilong with both hands, and said: "Congratulations to Li Dutou on his successful election!"

Li Jilong slowly raised his hand and made a fist. His fist was like a mallet and he smashed it with a roar. He turned around and hit Dang Jin next to him in the face!

Dang Jin groaned, his nose bleeding profusely, he covered his face and squatted on the ground, cursing: "You! You are crazy! How can you hit me?"

Li Jilong sneered: "What I admire most in my life is Commander Leng, a real man who speaks the truth, not a sinister, despicable and shameless villain like you! You are a thief. You want to use my hand to kill Commander Leng.

Blind your dog eyes!"

"What are you talking about! Who wants to kill Commander Leng! Don't slander me!"

"Do you know it in your heart?"

Dang Jin's face was covered with nosebleeds. Two of his front teeth were missing. He held it in his hand and said to Leng Yi with a mournful face: "Commander Leng, don't listen to his nonsense. In the end, the general will be loyal to the commander, and heaven and earth can learn from it!"

Leng Yi looked at him indifferently, only to see that he was terrified.

Leng Yi patted him on the shoulder and said, "I think there must be some misunderstanding here, right?"

"That's right!" Dang Jin hurriedly apologized with a smile: "It's just a misunderstanding, hehe."

Leng Yi turned around and smiled at Li Jilong and said: "I have ordered that all the officers and soldiers in the battalion can be selected for military merit. The top two in military merit will serve as the commander and deputy commander of the battalion. I heard that your military merit is very prominent.

You can participate in the military merit competition, why didn't you participate? Instead, you came to participate in this strength and martial arts competition?"

Li Jilong glared at Dang Jin: "They said it was the adults who said that my military merits are nonsense, and they didn't tell me that they were going to conduct a military merit selection!"

Leng Yi turned around and looked at Dang Jin: "Is that so? - Tell the truth, the officials will verify it!"

Dang Jin's face was very ugly, and the blood on his face was shocking. Nono said: "This..."

Leng Yi said again: "So, have you still carried out the military merit selection that the official asked you to conduct yesterday, right?"

Dang Jin's face turned red and white, and he bowed and said: "Because time is tight, there is no time to start it. We plan to start it after the competition is completed."

Leng Yi looked at him: "You are the commander of the cavalry army. It was because General Li did not obey the orders that he was removed from his post and appointed you to take over. However, now that you do not obey the orders of the officers, you will relinquish them."

How to treat you?"

Dang Jin was horrified and quickly bowed and said: "The general is wrong. The general will start organizing military merit evaluations immediately."

Leng Yi turned his head and looked at the senior generals following behind him, and said: "If you don't obey the official's orders, you must be punished. You can't break the rules from you. - Come here, give Dang Jin fifty lashes!"

"

Leng Yi's escort agreed, rushed forward, pulled Dang Jin aside, pulled off his official robe, and whipped him with a round whip.

Before this party entered the original school, they all ordered Yang Xin to be tough and did not scream when they were beaten. But after a few whips, they started screaming.

Leng Yi looked at the hundreds of senior generals expressionlessly: "I am very reluctant to punish brothers, but military orders are like mountains, and whoever disobeys military orders does not matter who he is, nor how qualified he is, nor how great his merits are."

, treated with military law like an official, I hope nothing like this will happen again in the future that will embarrass everyone!"

The hundreds of generals clasped their hands together and said: "Don't dare to disobey orders, obey the commander's orders!"

On one side, he was whipping Dang Jin, and on the other side, Leng Yi said to Li Jilong: "The official will give you another task. If you do well, the official can use you again."

Li Jilong quickly bowed and said: "The final general is willing to obey the commander's orders."

"You have seen today's competition, and you know how to operate it. The official appointed you as the battalion commander of the 600 Supervisory Battalion. You will be responsible for gradually promoting this competitive recruitment work. You will lead the Supervisory Battalion to be responsible for the specific implementation.

Carry out military merit evaluations and labor martial arts competitions in the entire battalion in a planned and orderly manner, and elect corresponding generals. Submit the list to me, and I will personally issue letters of appointment to them! Your work will be directly under my orders and you will report to me.

.Do you want to not be commanded by others?"

Li Jilong was overjoyed. Although he was Dang Jin's boss before, he is now Dang Jin's subordinate. He also exposed Dang Jin's conspiracy to murder Leng Yi. He must be worried that Dang Jin will avenge him in the future. Now Leng Yi makes him the commander of the supervisory camp.

The envoy, who was specifically responsible for the competition for posts, was directly under Leng Yi's command, so he was not afraid of retaliation from the party. Naturally, he was very happy, and his heart was full of gratitude to Leng Yi.

Li Jilong quickly bowed and saluted: "The general will obey the commander's orders and will never disappoint the commander's ardent expectations."

After fifty lashes, Dang Jin almost fainted. His back was bloody and bloody. Leng Yi said to Dang Jin calmly: "General Dang, can you still hold on?"

"The last general..., the last general can do it..."

"That's good! Keep going!" After saying that, he turned around and went up to the high platform. He seemed to have forgotten even the injury on Dang Jin's back and refused to let the military doctor come to treat him. Dang Jin had no choice but to grit his teeth and follow him up the high platform.

The competition lasted until noon, when Leng Yi announced that the meal was over for the time being.

Their dinner was held on the construction site. They also ate soldiers' food, which was naturally not as good as the delicacies they had at home.

After Leng Yi finished eating, he ordered Li Jilong to formulate a plan immediately. He also informed the commanders of each compartment to stay and continue to accompany him to inspect the competition for posts. The other generals could disperse and go back to prepare.

After taking some time, Cheng Luo'an whispered to Leng Yi: "Official, why don't you kill that Dang Jin! He wants to murder you!"

"I know!" Leng Yi said calmly: "Their organization has not been fully investigated yet, so we cannot alert the snake. After we have investigated them all, we will catch them all! The officials asked me to take over the command of the Forbidden Army as soon as possible to avoid being killed by Zhao Ting.

The beautiful people usurped it, so the top priority now is to gain the support of the army as soon as possible. As long as I have the command of the imperial army, I will not be afraid of them turning the world upside down!"

"I also understand your intention. You want to destroy their foundation from the bottom up and replace all the generals below the battalion with your people, thereby seizing the command of the lower-level imperial army. However, they will not

Are you honestly waiting for you to take away the command of the Imperial Guard?"
Chapter completed!
