I formed the strongest swordsman group

"Running business?"

Souji blinked his beautiful eyes several times.

"You mean...you plan to make money by doing business?"

Qingden nodded.

Souji had a look of realization that said, "I don't quite understand, but that's how it is."

As expected of Mr. Tachibana! It turns out that he had already made a plan!

While thinking this with admiration, she asked:

"In that case, what products are you going to sell? Kimonos from Kyoto? Souvenirs from Gyeonggi?"

As she spoke, a look of anticipation appeared on her cheeks, her hands rested on the ground, and her delicate body subconsciously leaned toward Qingdeng.

"Well..."

Qingteng pondered for a while, and then gave Souji an intriguing and elusive look.

"Let me keep it a secret for now."

The general manager was startled.

"What's so secret about this? Can't even I know?"

Qingdeng gave her a "Yes, even you can't know" look.

"This involves important business secrets. To prevent leaks, the fewer people who know about it, the better. In short, you should be patient for now. Soon, you will know the full extent of my business plan. .”

"Oh...I see...it's a major business secret..."

Souji nodded thoughtfully, his pretty face once again showing the look of realization that said, "I don't quite understand, but that's how it is."

…

…

Shimada Kui chewed carefully, grinding the rice grains in his mouth bit by bit with his teeth, and was reluctant to swallow it even though he was about to chew it into rice milk.

It’s so delicious!

In front of the soft and sweet rice, millet, brown rice, barnyard millet, etc. are not food for human consumption at all!

People who say "whole grains are delicious" and "whole grains are better than rice" must be those who are aloof and don't worry about eating, drinking and having fun on weekdays!

Only those who are from well-off families and can eat rice for three meals a day will have unrealistic illusions about the taste of whole grains.

As for whole grains, if you eat them occasionally, you may feel that they taste quite good.

But if you eat whole grains every day and every meal, within a month you will definitely miss the beauty of rice!

If there was rice to eat, who would want to eat such a thing?

Shimada Kui thought to himself: The last time he ate rice seemed to be more than three years ago.

More than ten years ago, Shimada Kui and his family could still eat some rice during the holidays.

But since the "Black Ship Incident" broke out, their family's life has become increasingly difficult for some reason.

This is not an isolated case, but the entire environment.

The tax burden borne by rural farmers is getting heavier and heavier, and the homespun cloth woven by peasant women's hard work is getting harder and harder to sell.

The commercial areas of the town are becoming increasingly depressed, and the lives of the townspeople are also very difficult.

Not to mention the samurai.

There are as many samurai as there are who are at the end of their rope, and samurai who are unable to sustain themselves even if they take on many side jobs privately.

This sudden change, for which the cause is not even known, has caused the quality of life of Shimada Kui and his family to decline rapidly in recent years, and their money has become increasingly tight.

Now, even on important days like New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, they only dare to use a small amount of rice to make gruel.

Cooking a big bowl full of dried rice... I can’t even think about it!

Just like this morning, there is unlimited rice, so you can eat as much as you want.

However, side dishes are limited.

The only side dishes for everyone were the few plates of meat and egg soup on their respective dining tables, which were gone after they finished eating.

Although the side dishes cannot be eaten with open arms, this is not a problem at all for Shimada Kui.

Even if there are no side dishes, just eating rice can make him feel doubly happy!

In fact, he did so.

When eating the first bowl of rice, he didn't touch any side dishes. He just mixed his saliva and ate all the rice in the bowl. Even the rice grains stuck to the bottom of the bowl were licked by him. Walk.

It wasn't until the cook brought him a second bowl of rice that he started to enjoy the side dishes - let alone taste them, they were delicacies that he had never even smelled in his life!

The fried tofu exudes a hot pot aroma that makes people's fingers lick.

After peeling off the shell of the hard-boiled egg, the smooth and tender protein is like the skin of a peerless beauty.

The pork is well cooked and has an incredible texture. It is very elastic and chewy, and abundant juices will overflow just by touching it lightly with your teeth.

The miso soup has a rich and salty taste, which is a good way to replenish the salt lost in the body during training this morning.

If you eat meat and drink soup at the same time, the meat will loosen naturally, and the elastic texture will fall smoothly into your throat under the blend of soup.

Two different flavors spread gently... Shimada Kui understood the true meaning of the word "colorful flavors" for the first time.

Although it was a bit exaggerated to say this, every time Shimada Kui took a bite of this hearty side dish, he felt that the rich nutrients were gradually seeping into the depths of his body, transforming into his flesh and blood with every bite, nourishing his body.

At this time, he suddenly remembered what Seito said just now: The Shinsengumi's combat power will be based on iron discipline and abundant food.

——If we can eat such good meals every day, our physical fitness will definitely change dramatically before long!

Thinking of this, Shimada Kuilian took several deep breaths, unable to suppress the surging emotions in his heart.

…

…

After lunch it's lunch break.

The soldiers returned to their respective quarters and took a nap for an hour.

The fatigue accumulated during the morning training exploded at the moment when he saw the quilt.

As soon as Shimada Kui hit the pillow, he fell asleep and fell unconscious.

At eight o'clock in the morning (2 p.m.), the "dong dong dong dong dong" "wake up bell" rang on time.

Although the body and mind were still attached to the warm quilt, the fear of the strict military orders made the soldiers dare not neglect it, and they quickly got up from the bed.

——Now it’s time to train on something else, right?

Shimada Kui originally thought that it was quite outrageous to spend an entire morning training standing.

But who would have thought that the training content in the afternoon would still involve standing in a military posture!

Under the order of the General Secretary, the soldiers of the first team stood in a horizontal line as they did this morning, with their chests and heads raised, their legs tensed, and their hands close to the sides of their legs.

——Is it really necessary to train standing repeatedly like this?

Standing in the military posture is to hone the body and mind and lay the foundation for future battle formation training... Shimada Kui understands these principles that Souji said this morning.

However, in his eyes, this kind of training content that is not very technically difficult is enough.

You should still spend most of your time on personal martial arts and battle formation training.

He has been practicing standing, practicing standing over and over again... Could it be that he is preparing to scare the enemy by standing upright during a battle?

The more Shimada Kui thought about it, the more dissatisfied he became involuntarily.

Just as the afternoon training started, a large thick cloud suddenly drifted from the west, blocking the sun.

Without the direct sunlight, the soldiers suddenly felt much more relaxed.

Just after 7 a.m. (4 p.m.), a small accident occurred on the training ground——

Qingdeng, who had been missing since the morning, suddenly appeared at the training ground.

He came alone and looked around expressionlessly.

Seeing the arrival of the general, all the soldiers did not dare to cheer up.

Just when Aoden came to the training ground of the first team, in line with the idea of ​​"leaving a good impression on Niou-sama", Kui Shimada hurriedly raised his already towering chest even higher, and stretched his already high chest. The tense legs became even tighter.

However, Qingden just glanced at him and looked away.

After just a cursory glance around, he crossed shoulders with Shimada Kui, who was standing at the far right of the queue, and walked away.

——You couldn’t get Nioh-sama to notice me...

Shimada Kui let out a sigh of regret in his heart.

However, suddenly, a big iron-like hand grabbed his right arm from behind.

This big hand is extremely fast and powerful.

Before Shimada Kui could react, the big hand pulled his right arm away from the side of his leg.

Because the force of this iron hand was too great, his entire body fell to the ground under the action of inertia.

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably fall into disgrace.

But obviously - as a member of the first team, Shimada Kui does not belong to the category of "ordinary people".

Although the incident happened suddenly, he still relied on his excellent reflexes to stagger a few steps, quickly adjusted his body's center of gravity, and finally managed to regain his footing.

Anyone who encounters such a change unexpectedly will feel confused and annoyed.

"Tsk! Who is it... Gu!"

At the moment when Shimada Kui subconsciously turned his head, trying to angrily scold the person who suddenly pulled his arm, the anger on his face dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Qingdeng released his right arm expressionlessly and asked:

"What happened to your hand?"

Shimada Kui blinked and looked confused:

"ah?"

"Souji!"

Following Qingteng's call, the Souji came to him in three steps and two steps at a time.

"Tachibana-kun, what's wrong?"

"Have you truthfully informed your subordinates of all the essentials that a general must abide by when standing in a military position?"

The director-general responded loudly without thinking:

"Of course! I informed the soldiers of the 'military posture requirements' recorded in the "Infantry Drill Code" item by item early in the morning!"

Qingto's eyes fell back to Shimada Kui:

"If that's the case, what's going on with your hand? Why isn't it firmly attached to the side of your leg?"

Shimada Kui's face suddenly turned red.

"I, I...I'm close..."

"Since it's tight, why did I pull your arm away when I pulled it lightly? It should be clearly stated in my "Infantry Drill Code", right? When standing in a military posture, even if someone pulls you hard Even if your whole body is pulled down and you fall down, your hands cannot leave the side of your legs."

"That's because... that's because..."

Shimada Kui wanted to argue, "That's because you are too strong."

But before the words came out of his mouth, a strong sense of shame invaded his heart.

hateful! What am I quibbling about? !

Is Nioh-sama too strong? These are just excuses!

Should we blame the opponent for being too strong when he is defeated by his opponent on the battlefield in the future?

Thinking of this, Shimada Kui lowered his head respectfully, looking ashamed.

"I'm sorry...it's my lack of practice..."

Qingdeng's expression remained cold.

"If your training is not up to standard, you should be punished. Are you convinced?"

"Convinced!"

Qingdeng nodded, then raised his head and said loudly:

"Then, you run around the training ground three times immediately! Then continue training after you finish running!"

"yes!"

Shimada Kui stepped out of the queue without any hesitation and ran towards the outermost edge of the training ground.

Aoto's punishment of Kui Shimada not only shocked the hearts of the rest of the first division, but also attracted the attention of the other divisions.

Seeing that Qingdeng would use this method that was similar to a "sneak attack" to check whether the military posture was standard, I couldn't help but feel "everyone is in danger".

For a time, the soldiers of each team were very energetic, with their chests raised and their heads raised, and their hands tightly pressed against their legs, for fear that they would follow in the footsteps of Shimada Kui.

"Have you learned?"

Qingdeng turned to the commander next to him and said:

"You have to be like me in the future and make surprise inspections from time to time. Only in this way can they dare not slack off."

The chief executive couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.

"Tachibana-kun, isn't this too harsh?"

"Harsh? Not at all."

Qingdeng shrugged and laughed.

"I'm already very gentle."

——From a modern perspective, this level can only be regarded as an "enhanced version of military training for college students" at best.

He added this silently in his mind.

How to build the Shinsengumi?

After taking over the post of governor of Gyeonggi Province, this issue frequently lingered in Qingdeng's mind.

It has to be said that Tokugawa Iemo entrusted him with the important task of regulating the capital, which was indeed a clear choice.

Qingdeng knew nothing about the major and minor matters of the navy. He had never even been on a ship.

But when it comes to how to build an army, he can guarantee that no one in the shogunate can be more professional than him!

Because... in his previous life, he was a top student at the police academy!

The time when he was studying in the police academy... For Qingdeng, this was a long time ago, more than three years ago.

When he was serving as a public servant at the Edo Northern Police Station and Huo Fu Thieves, he was still able to use the criminal investigation knowledge he learned in his previous life from time to time.

But after he was promoted to be a side officer and an employee of the imperial government, his police skills were useless.

Qingden originally thought that he would never have the chance to use his "police skills" again in his life.

However... changes in the world are always unexpected.

He never imagined that his "police skills" would be resurrected in this form!

Although there are huge differences between police and soldiers in terms of training methods, they still have a lot in common with each other.

For example, pay attention to discipline.

Another example is the emphasis on logistics.

Ayoto also did not expect the Shinsengumi to reach the level of a modern army.

In his opinion, if the Shinsengumi had the organization of a modern police force, it would be enough to sweep the world!

Qingdeng in his previous life was a top student at the police academy - I feel like many book friends have forgotten this setting (Baohan.jpg)

There are always readers who report that Qingdeng’s actions are not like a top student in the police academy. Regarding this question, I am very puzzled: in the previous article, Qingdeng used the criminal investigation knowledge of his previous life many times to avert danger. Why can't he be seen as a police academy student? His extraordinary courage alone makes him look like an ordinary person. Are you human? (leopard.jpg)
