"Welcome my emperor, long live my emperor!"

More than 100,000 troops shouted in unison, and the momentum was enough to shake the heaven and the earth.

Guan Ning rode forward. He had already put on his armor and military uniform. He was very pleased to see the troops standing with guns in front of him.

It has been seven years since the establishment of the Border Guard Army. They have experienced many wars, especially the war with Liang State, which suffered serious losses.

So far, there are only more than 400,000 people in total.

Guan Ning did not carry out large-scale recruitment. First, conditions did not allow it. The country was gradually developing. If a large number of young men were recruited to join the army, who would plow the fields and who would work?

Furthermore, Guan Ning has always adhered to the strategy of elite troops.

Ordinary soldiers care about the essence, not the quantity.

After several years of reorganization and rigorous training, the border guard army has become a truly powerful army.

Thoughts flashed through.

Guan Ning walked over and raised his hand to signal.

"Kaka!"

All officers and soldiers returned to normal, uniform and uniform. This is what a good army should look like.

At this time, a group of soldiers dismounted from the front and arrived.

General Tiance Mansion, Hao Cang, the commander-in-chief of the border army, Mu Lin, the right deputy commander who was also the general of the second army, and other generals came forward.

"Kowtow to Your Majesty."

All the generals knelt on one knee and saluted.

"Pingshen!"

There was excitement in their eyes. These were all generals who had followed Guan Ning on his campaigns in the east and west. They had not seen Guan Ning for a long time since they were stationed at the border.

I feel honored to be here in person this time.

Your Majesty always remembers them.

"Have all the things I brought arrived?"

"Arrived early."

Among the things he brought were pork and other meats. Even though it was winter, there was a risk that they would go bad if they were delayed for a long time, so the transport team rushed the transportation and arrived earlier than he did.

"The wine hasn't been touched yet?"

"We dare not move without your order."

Hao Cang speaks more casually.

"Prepare all the wine and meat, and reward the three armies tomorrow!"

Guan Ning said: "In addition, I also brought a sum of money, which was newly minted by the imperial court. I distributed it to the soldiers."

"Your Majesty, military pay has been paid."

"This is my reward, not counting military pay. In addition, I have also brought a batch of merit medals, which will be awarded to soldiers who have made meritorious deeds and performed well!"

Guan Ning seemed quite proud.

You can’t come empty-handed when you come here. The military is the foundation of a country and must be firmly in your hands.

To run an army, rewards and punishments must be clearly defined.

Guan Ning was never stingy in this regard, and there was never a shortage of military pay and supplies.

If you don’t have real money, who will fight for you?

He brought all the new coins he had accumulated for several months.

As for the merit medal, it is a kind of medal of honor, divided into five levels according to military merit.

This has been around for a long time and is very popular. It is a great honor to get a first-class merit medal.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Hao Cang and others responded loudly.

His Majesty was so considerate of the soldiers that they all felt warm in their hearts.

"Go and bring Hong Zhao over."

Guan Ning ordered Cheng Jing beside him.

After being picked up from the sedan after a while, Xiao Hongzhao saw this kind of battle for the first time. He was not afraid, but looked around with curiosity in his small black eyes.

He didn't need Cheng Jing to carry him, he could walk easily by himself.

Hongzhao, who inherited Guan Ning's excellent genes, has a special temperament of his own.

What he wears is not luxurious, it can only be regarded as ordinary clothes.

Guan Ning has been trained since he was a child and must not be pampered. This time he was brought out to teach him a lesson. Zhao Nanxing also explained how to deal with bullying the people in Mi Cang Mansion.

Excellent juniors are cultivated.

Six years old is no longer young, and Kangxi became emperor at the age of eight.

He came over.

"This is my eldest son Hongzhao."

Guan Ning pulled him over and introduced him to the generals.

"These mighty generals in front of you are all heroes of the country. They are the ones stationed at the border to protect their homes and the country..."

Everyone's eyes are focused.

Then they all knelt down.

"Kowtow to the eldest prince."

All the generals knelt down and saluted.

Xiao Hongzhao was not timid, he just looked up at Guan Ning, as if asking him what to say.

"Get up."

"Father, I also want to wear armor."

"Why?"

"I also want to protect my family and my country."

The slightly milky reply made all the generals laugh.

"Okay, my father will make a set for you when we get back."

"Thank you, Father."

Surrounded by everyone, Guan Ning took Hong Zhao into the city, followed by the sedan that Yong Ning and others were riding in.

Although it is a border city, it is fully equipped inside. Hao Cang and others have arranged a mansion in advance.

Yongning, Xue Fang, Xue Wen and their accompanying maids arranged to live here.

This was in a military camp, and it was not convenient for them to go out. They had to rest after a long journey.

In order to arrive in time, Guan Ning was also a little tired due to the fast journey, so he had a good rest today.

A night of silence.

He got up early the next day.

The trumpet has sounded.

The soldiers began to line up for morning exercises.

This has been implemented for a long time. Guan Ning has moved the military training from his previous life to the present.

There are items such as military posture, marching, marching, goose-stepping, and pulling.

In recent years, it has been promoted in the army across the country, and has been implemented by local garrison and even the public security bureau.

Be loyal and obey orders.

Be brave and not afraid of sacrifice.

These are the two principles by which Guan Ning governs the army.

The whole army has started training early and has formed a habit, even if it is a new year, there is no exception.

There are a lot of arrangements today.

Last night, an order was circulated throughout the army. Today, Your Majesty will conduct a review of the entire army, award merit medals, and distribute silver rewards. There will be a grand celebration in the evening. Your Majesty has prepared wine and meat to reward the three armies!

For this condolences, Guan Ning spent a lot of money.

Let’s go to the Second Army first. After this is over, we will go to Beilin Province to visit the First Army.

The military is the top priority.
To be continued...
