Rise From the Humble

"Fifty-five corps commanders have been decided, and there are still many vacancies for corps commanders. How to choose these corps commanders?"

"Yes, our Zhejiang Army has 1,200 new brothers this time. Based on the calculation of ten men per corps, it must have increased by at least 120 corps. Then there will be an increase of 120 corps accordingly. Commander, fifty-five corps commanders have been decided, and there are still about sixty corps commanders who have not yet been decided. Do we still have a chance?"

"So, maybe we still have a chance? Hahaha, great. In the assessment a few days ago, I suffered from hemorrhoids. I only used 50% of my strength. The results of the performance assessment were not ideal. I saw Tiedan and Dali. They all became corps commanders, and I regretted it so much. If there is still a chance, I will definitely seize it."

All the officers and soldiers of the Zhejiang Army were envious of Song Tiedan and others. Some people realized that there was still a vacancy for the position of corps commander, and they all became excited and looked forward to it.

Zhu Ping'an looked at the expectant eyes of everyone, smiled slightly, and then said, "Soldiers, after the fifty-five corps commanders were selected through the discipline performance assessment, there are still 65 corps commanders left. These six The quota for the fifteen corps commanders is determined through a competition just like last time. All veterans and all recruits can participate in the competition to select corps commanders, and the final winner of the first corps is the corps commander. Again, I don’t want to be a general. The soldiers are not good soldiers, the opportunity is right in front of you, it is up to you whether you can seize it or not."

"Your Excellency is wise!"

"We must seize the opportunity! We will live up to your expectations!"

After hearing Zhu Pingan's words, all the Zhejiang troops cheered excitedly, gearing up and eager to try.

The recruits in Yiwu were also very excited. They did not expect that they would also have the opportunity to compete for the team leader. This was a chance to change their destiny. Participating in the recruitment of the Zhejiang Army was really the wisest choice they had made in their lives.

Based on the experience of the last competition to determine the team leader, although there were twice as many people this time, the organization was orderly and orderly.

First, the personnel of each team are determined and registered. Then each team occupies a small area and starts drawing lots to compete.

Zhu Pingan ordered the supervisory battalion to also have the corps commander, sentry commander, commander, and battalion commander to take on the responsibilities of supervision and inspection.

Zhu Ping'an himself also patrolled the entire field, paying attention to everyone's performance, and recorded those who performed outstandingly and had extraordinary skills in the battle as potential targets for future focus and training.

"Sir, Miss Hua'er has come to visit you with your wife, and there are many people and cars accompanying her."

When Zhu Ping'an was inspecting the situation of the Bilow Test, a gate guard came jogging to report.

Why is Li Shu here? We were having breakfast together in the morning. We were separated for less than an hour. Haha, you missed me again so soon.

Really, with a big belly, wouldn’t it be worrying to travel so far away? Wouldn’t it be nice to wait until I get back in the evening?

If the love lasts for a long time, how can it last day and night? When I meet Li Shu, I have to talk to her well. I won’t let her go lightly next time.

Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but shook his head, but the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably. He hurriedly told Liu Mu and others to supervise and record the competition of each team, and then he led the gatekeepers to the camp gate.

When they arrived at the gate, they saw Li Shu surrounded by Hua'er, Qin'er and other girls.

Seeing Zhu Pingan, Li Shu smiled sweetly.

The beautiful smile is indebted, the beautiful eyes are full of hope, and all the scenery in the world is not as charming as the beauty's pair of beautiful eyes at this moment.

Even though Zhu Ping'an slept with her last night and had dinner with her this morning, she couldn't help but be stunned by Li Shu's peach-shaped face.

"Giggle, look, my uncle is stunned..." A girl covered her mouth and giggled.

"Ahem, wouldn't it be nice to wait until I get back in the evening? She has a big belly. It's worrying to travel so far."

Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but blush slightly, coughed, stepped forward quickly, and said warmly, but he couldn't say a word of preaching.

"It's not far, it's only a few miles. I came all the way here in a carriage. The two little guys like riding in the carriage. When the carriage stops, they still refuse to follow."

Li Shu defended in a low voice, gently caressed her pregnant belly with her slender hands, her beautiful eyes moved, she pouted her little mouth and said softly, "Also, I didn't come here specifically to see you."

"If you're not here to see me, then who are you here to see? Are there some relatives of ours in the camp?"

When Zhu Pingan heard this, he couldn't help but ask.

"Giggle, my uncle is jealous." Qin'er and Hua'er covered their mouths and started laughing.

"There are no relatives. It's not all because of you. I was going to tell you last night, but you insisted on... insisting on educating your children, so I forgot to tell you, so I had to come over again. ." Li Shu blushed, glanced at Zhu Pingan with all her strength, and said in a sweet voice.

"Ahem, what do you want to tell me?"

Zhu Ping'an coughed. Thinking of the scene of educating his children last night, he couldn't help but feel hot. He coughed quickly and changed the topic.

"On the way from the capital, I recruited a few blacksmiths and purchased some iron ingots and other supplies. I originally wanted to tell you last night that I would ask you to bring them with me when you came to the camp in the morning. It was all your fault. I have to come again.”

Li Shu pointed to the group of blacksmiths, apprentices, and the convoy that spread more than a hundred meters behind him, and said calmly, as if recruiting them was just a small episode on the road, and purchasing so many carts of iron ingots and other materials was just a matter of time. An inconspicuous little thing.

Zhu Ping'an looked back along Li Shu's hand and saw nearly twenty people dressed as blacksmiths and seventy or eighty carriages. He couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise, "Are these people blacksmiths? So many carriages." The materials for the iron ingots. I am worried that it is difficult to recruit a blacksmith and it is difficult to refine the iron ingots. Sister Li, you are my timely help."

There are currently only ten blacksmiths in the camp who were temporarily recruited from nearby villages and towns. Three of them are just apprentices and are not skilled enough in their crafts. To make the strips, you must first smelt the broken armor. Due to manpower and material constraints, the progress of making the strips is slow.

I was worried that the progress of patching could not keep up with the cotton armor, so the blacksmiths and iron ingots sent by Li Shu were a real help in times of need.

"They are not all blacksmiths. Five are blacksmiths and the other thirteen are apprentices." Li Shu said casually.

"Uncle, uncle, these five blacksmiths are not ordinary blacksmiths. They are all famous blacksmith masters in Yangzhou. One of them is the number one blacksmith in Yangzhou. He also studies thunder, fire crow arrows and the like. Things; two of them were blacksmiths from the Military War Bureau, and they said they made artillery in the Military War Bureau, and the other two were also from blacksmith families. Also, those thirteen apprentices were not ordinary apprentices, they all had Mature apprentices with six or seven years of blacksmithing experience, ordinary blacksmiths cannot compare with them in the villages and towns below."

Qin'er knew very much about these blacksmiths, and seeing that her lady's words were simple, she quickly added.

"Zhentian Lei, artillery, is actually a firearms craftsman!" After hearing this, Zhu Ping'an was overjoyed, grinning almost to his ears, his eyes shining brightly, looking at the nearly twenty blacksmiths behind him as if looking at treasures .

"Giggles, my uncle's eyes lit up when he saw them. It's just like what the lady said. These blacksmiths who are stinky in our eyes are very charming in my eyes." Qin'er chuckled.

When Li Shu heard the words, she smiled slightly, just like the spring breeze blowing across the surface of the pond, with happy ripples rippling on her face.
