This first person must not only have outstanding strength, but also need to be convinced by everyone, otherwise the training of this riding formation will definitely be half the result with twice the result. So Huo Jianqi made a decision, and still wanted to ask everyone.

This decision made Red's face uncertain. To be honest, he was the first person to be unconvinced.

Zeng Jian smiled slightly and took the lead in saying: "I agree, I fully support Ding Kui as the first person."

Looking at Zeng Jian in surprise, Ding Kui thought to himself: This must be my first time meeting this person, why are you so willing to support me?

Seeing that someone was taking the lead, Luo Jie, Han Rui, Shuiyu, Ma Duping and Lao Wangjue all expressed their approval, while Fu An and Shi Li remained silent.

Among this group of students, the only one who was not afraid of Ding Kui's family background was Reid. The key point was that Reid knew that his own strength was not as good as Ding Kui's. He wanted to object but did not have the confidence.

"Haha, I will be the first person first. If any of the seniors are not convinced, they can challenge me. Whoever wins will be the first person." Ding Kui said with a smile, but he also revealed that

With a domineering air.

"Okay, no one objects, it's settled. Ding Kui is the arrow, from left to right, second row Zeng Jian, Red; third row Fu An, Roger, Han Rui; fourth row Ma Duping, Shi Li

, Shuiyu, Lao Wangjue." Instructor Huo arranged the positions of the ten people.

"Today you will practice walking to keep distance first. Once you can maintain your formation on the ground, I will arrange mounts for you." Instructor Huo issued the training task.

Walking in this triangular formation is much more difficult than walking in formation in Ding Kui's previous life.

The leader has to use hand gestures to control the speed and direction. The people in the formation are staggered, and they have to maintain distance from the front, back, left, and right. It doesn't take a few days to become proficient.

The special training for trainee knights was very boring at the beginning, with repeated formation training and indispensable basic training. The practice of the four arts was completely missing.

The Knights Guild is to turn the king into a military thing and teach these future knights that discipline and teamwork are the focus of this stage.

The students all arranged to practice fighting qi after the day's training. In order to prevent the inherited secrets from being leaked, the Knights Guild specially built a separate stone room for students to practice fighting qi inside.

Apprentice knights must receive special training at the knight guilds in each city and complete their studies. They need to learn riding formations, military knowledge and the use of fighting spirit. After the apprentice knights in each city meet the promotion standards, they must go to the knight guild in the county to take the assessment of fighting blade knights.

Generally, you will be recruited into a corps after becoming a fighting blade knight, whether it is a local corps or a regular corps. Knights are not too young when they join the army, and they have military knowledge. The outstanding ones will directly become officers. They will polish their skills in the military camp for a period of time.

After time, you will have the opportunity to be promoted to a general officer, and you may even become a commander-in-chief if you accumulate military merit.

After ten days of training, the cavalry formation led by Ding Kui managed to form a line. At least it had no problem walking in a straight line. Instructor Huo asked them to sit on the side of the playground in formation, and then said: "Today I will teach you some military knowledge.

The highest military institution of the Shaodian Kingdom is the Commander-in-Chief, which is divided into the Military Command Department, the Staff Department, the Military Law Department, the Logistics Department, and the Equipment Department. There are five commanders who serve as ministers, and a commander-in-chief oversees the Commander-in-Chief.

The Military Command Department is responsible for the deployment, defense changes and expeditions of all troops, issuing combat orders, etc.

The staff department is responsible for formulating combat plans, providing combat situation analysis, evaluating the performance of officers and generals, and issuing instructions on job changes for officials below the command headquarters.

The Military Law Department is responsible for formulating and enforcing military laws, supervising the behavior of all officers and soldiers in the General Command, etc.

The Logistics Department is responsible for the allocation of money, food, ordnance, the release of military pay for officers and soldiers at all levels, and organizing transportation for civilians, etc.

The Equipment Department is responsible for the research and production of weapons and armor, various types of ordnance and ships, the improvement and breeding of war horses, etc.

The Knights Guild belongs to the Reserve Department under the Logistics Department, and everyone who serves in the guild is considered an official of the Kingdom's General Office.

The key to human war lies in logistics, and today I will tell you about the importance of logistics."

Ding Kui is studying military knowledge seriously, and a person who will be closely related to him in the future will also enter a life of training and learning.

When Shaodianzhu established his kingdom, some tribes that had lived on this land since ancient times chose to support him. These tribes belonged to the same clan and had their own surnames.

Several large tribes were canonized as third-rank dukes by Shao Dianzhu, and those with outstanding military exploits were granted the title of second-rank dukes. The largest surname occupied almost two counties, and it was the Xuanyuan family, which ranked second among the ten major dukes.

After being ennobled with titles, the places where these tribes thrived became their territories. They rarely interacted with people with other surnames, and rarely married with people with other surnames. As long as they married people with other surnames, they would be driven out of the territory. These tribes were also

Nicknamed "indigenous nobles".

The "indigenous nobles" all focus on their own territories and never collude with other forces. In order to protect themselves, they can only vote for the Xuanyuan family, the representative of the "indigenous nobles", every time the Senate elders are elected.

After Shaodiandan ascended the throne, in order to appease these "indigenous nobles", he specially selected the daughters sent by these families as his concubines.

Tantai Yue became the lucky one, and no one expected that Tantai Yue would become Shao Diandan's favorite concubine.

If someone from the Jiang family met, they would definitely feel that Tantai Yue and Jiang Ting were somewhat similar.

"Your Majesty, do you really want Luan'er to participate in knight apprenticeship training?" Tantai Yue asked Shaodian Dan a little worriedly.

"Shao Dian Luan is my eldest daughter, born after I was promoted to the Fearless Knight. She has the direct bloodline of my royal family. This is the only path for her." Shao Dian Dan said without any doubt.

Shao Diianluan is eight years old this year, born to Tantai Yue. She has been smart and well-behaved since she was a child, with a sweet appearance, and is very lovable. She will be arranged to enter the clan house next month to receive knight apprenticeship training, and Tantai Yue cannot bear it.

Let my daughter endure hardship at such a young age.

"She must gather her fighting spirit as soon as possible to show that she has excellent bloodline, so that I can find a better husband for her." Shaodiandan couldn't stand Tantai Yue's sad eyes and explained to her.

As soon as she heard that it was related to her daughter's future husband's family, Tantai Yue's eyes immediately changed: "In this case, we must find the best teacher to teach Luan'er to be the most capable and beautiful princess."

"Don't worry, I've asked my great-uncle to help me. Okay, I'm going to court."

"Then I can rest assured. Let me wait for the king to change his clothes." A smile finally appeared on Tantai Yue's face.

There were many people attending the court meeting today, including the Senate, the first Duke of the Kingdom, and Duke Ding Yang Zhao.

Everyone from the Government Council and the General Office was present. This situation meant that the king had important matters to discuss with everyone.

Except for Shaodian Dan, only Yang Zhao had a seat in the meeting hall, while the other ministers stood on both sides.

After Shaodian Dan sat down, the first person he asked was Zisi: "Duke Zisi, are there any major disasters in the country currently?"

Zisi took a step forward, raised his hands and replied: "Reporting to your Majesty, the Shaodian Kingdom has been in good weather these past few years, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and there have been no disasters."

Shao Diandan asked Fan Gang, the head of the Ministry of Finance: "How many legions can the national treasury support to fight at the same time?"

Fan Gang replied: "Your Majesty, there has been no war in recent years, border trade has been prosperous, and there have been bumper harvests for two consecutive years. Treasurys and grain stores in various places are abundant, and there is more room for intervention. If it is a cross-border battle, I estimate that I can support six or seven legions to go out at the same time.

.”

Shaodian Dan turned to Yang Zhao who was sitting below and asked with a smile: "Elder Yang, can my noble son Shaodian still mount his horse and fight?"

Yang Zhao stood up, bowed slightly, and said: "Reporting to your Majesty, the noble local army has not participated in foreign wars for twenty years, and the swords in their hands are almost rusty. Some old friends often joke that 'there are so many

We haven’t had the opportunity to serve the country in years, so we still want to move the title up a bit and expand the territory a little bit more, and we ask the veterans to give them the opportunity to make meritorious deeds."

Shao Diandan nodded, withdrew his smile, sat up straight and said to Shao Dianzhang, the commander-in-chief of the Commander-in-Chief's Office: "I heard that the king of Qi Kingdom had a new death, and there was some turmoil in the country. The old thief Qitong led an army to sneak attack on the late king twenty years ago. Four years ago,

He also cooperated with Cao Guo to invade our border brazenly, and his death was more than justified.

Today, the east bank of the Tongyuan River is ripe for food, and we cannot sit back and watch.

The commander-in-chief formulated a plan to send out four legions to sweep the east bank of the Tongyuan River before the grain harvest, so that Qi State could not take advantage of the good years to stabilize the situation. Among the four legions, two were sent out as regular legions, and the rest were left to the Senate to form local legions.

.”

Yang Zhao, together with all the ministers and commanders in the Government Affairs Council and the Commander-in-Chief Mansion, bowed their hands and said, "I sincerely obey the king's order!"

Arriving at the lobby of the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion, Prince Shaodianzhang gathered the commanders of the five departments for urgent discussion.

The Shaodian Kingdom has been established for more than 4,000 years. There are many branches with royal blood. Only members of the clan who are promoted to master knights will be named princes. The next higher level is the royal family. People who have reached that level do not need to pursue

status.

The founding king, Shaodianzhu, was a god of martial arts. The "Yanlong Prison Breaking Technique" passed down from his family was the top fighting qi technique in mankind. Even the disciples of the side branch could break through to the dominant knight, and Shaodianzhang was one of them.

"My colleagues, you should all know what the king means. Our country has not taken the initiative to go to war for twenty years, and this battle is of great significance. I only took over as the commander-in-chief of the General Command five years ago. How can I win this battle? I hope you will

Please do your best." He got straight to the point, Shaodianzhang was anxious.

Shaodian Akira is nominally the number one person in the commander-in-chief's office, but the real power lies in the hands of the five commanders.

Xun Qi, the commander-in-chief of the Logistics Department, smiled bitterly and said: "The food and supplies for the four legions are heavy, and this time I will be exhausted. Commander, please rest assured, no matter how tired I am, I will not give you any trouble."

"Although our staff department should draw up a plan for this battle, the choice of the coach still needs to be decided by you, the commander-in-chief." Jiang Xi, commander of the staff department, sat at attention.
