Sun Tu thought that Yuan Wang, who had not had any good intentions to him, would be angry when he heard his answer, but he found that the other party was stunned and showed a smile of praise: "It is really a blessing for Sun Tuanlian to be so brave to take office, and it is also a blessing for me. Since you have made up your mind, I will not obstruct you. Just as you asked, if you come to see me again tomorrow, I will ask someone to take you to the military camp."

Is he willing to ask for what I asked for? Sun Tu was a little surprised. After hesitating for a while, he smiled and bowed to thank him: "Thank you, Yuanzhou for trusting the officials. I will do my best to let my subordinates reorganize their troops as soon as possible to defend the peace of Jiangzhou."

"But there is one thing that I have to say in front of me." Yuan Wang suddenly stinged with a stingy smile that was not very obvious: "If you make any mistakes in the army, I will not be able to show you a look at the prefect. The prefect also knows that the subordinate officials have always been clearly rewarded and punished, otherwise it will not be convinced."

Cai Dezhang smiled distractedly: "That's certainly, but I believe that Sun Tuanlian has the ability to train his country soldiers."

Only then did Sun Tu feel a hint of pressure and anxiety. Obviously, Yuan Wang would definitely instruct his subordinates to do something next, but he didn't have much concern. He just wanted to block the water and soil, so he said seriously again: "The officials will definitely not let you down. If there is any mistake, you will be punished!" This is like making a military order.

It was not until he personally sent Cai Dezhang and others out of the official hall and turned around that Yuan Wang's face suddenly became gloomy. After a while, he shouted: "Come on, go to the military camp to summon Wu Huan and Zhu Lin to the official. I have something to do."

After Sun Tu followed Cai Dezhang out of the official office, he thanked and said goodbye to the latter. The other party did not try to keep him or give him some advice, but just smiled and said, "Since the official Yuan has already agreed to go to the military camp, it depends on Sun Tuan to practice your own skills, and I can only help you get here."

Sun Tu said in his heart that he was hypocritical. If he hadn't pushed him to this point, he wouldn't have been completely opposed to Yuan Wang. Now that Cai Jiu has achieved his wish, he decided to watch the show and ignore his situation. But now, Sun Tu can only accept this fact. After all, in the eyes of Cai Jing and others, he is really just a knife that can be used. If something goes wrong in the future, they will abandon it at any time. This is the difficulty for the little people to gain a foothold in the officialdom.

Watching Sun Tu leave firmly, Cai Dezhang's smile became even stronger: "Although he is young, his courage and character have achieved success, it depends on how capable he can solve Yuan Wang's next problem. If he is really a talented person, I can give him some opportunities."

After Sun Tu learned about his experience in the state yamen, Yang Zhi and the other two looked not so good-looking, especially Lu Da, who even slapped the table with one hand: "Are these officials not anything other than open and secret struggles? In Weizhou, many civil officials always made things difficult for Xiaozhong's husband. Sa's family really wanted to punch them. I didn't expect that Jiangzhou was just the same."

"Adult is uncomfortable, and it is not comfortable. Brother Lu, please calm down." Sun Tu chuckled and said, "Since we are in the officialdom, we can only endure it for the time being before we have no strength to compete with them."

"You can still laugh? You have to thank others for being used as a gun, and you will finally be grateful to others for your good intentions, which is really unhappy!" Lu Da has been a monk for two years and is used to being free. In addition, he is bold and unrestrained, so he is really not suitable for the various conspiracies and plots in the officialdom.

"Actually, I didn't suffer any losses today. Instead, I got the benefits. At least I don't have to worry about not even seeing Yuan Wang, and I can enter the military camp after tomorrow." Sun Tu said with a smile.

Yang Zhi frowned and expressed his concerns: "But in this way, Sanlang, you will be recognized by the people of the world as a disciple of the Cai family, which is not very good for your reputation."

"Actually, what's the problem with this? Nowadays, many senior officials in the court have to rely on Cai Jing to take care of their jobs. Do they have no concerns about this? Moreover, when I responded to this assignment, I knew that there would be such a result, but I was just lucky at that time. Since I wanted to protect myself and could not do it, I could only be with the light.

"With Cai Jing's dictatorship in the court, it may not be a bad thing to leave the mark of his lackey on his body. We, the military man, don't have to consider his reputation as civil servants, just do your job well and have military power in your hands, so why not be afraid of gossip outside?"

"Sanlang, you can see through the matter, but I am a little worried." Yang Zhi nodded and agreed. As for Lu Da and Tang Feng, one did not think too deeply about it, and the other simply followed Sun Tuma's lead. Naturally, he would not raise any objections at this time.

At this point, the four finally reached a consensus and decided to work hard in the army and use their performance to justify themselves.

￥￥￥￥￥￥￥

However, when the four of them came to the village camp outside the city at noon the next day, they all had an idea - were they too optimistic yesterday? It was not so easy to make a difference here.

Speaking of which, the Song Dynasty had set rules since the founding of Taizu. In order to prevent the repetition of the mistakes of the former Tang Dynasty's demise from separatist rule by the vassal states, the court not only constantly suppressed the status of military generals, but also mobilized the generals in the garrison every few years, which had achieved the effect of generals not knowing the soldiers and soldiers not knowing the generals, but also made innovations in the military system, that is, the triple division of the imperial guards, the wing army and the township soldiers.

The imperial guards are the imperial guards who select elite soldiers from other than border towns every few years from the imperial guards to send them to Tokyo to enrich the defense of the capital and achieve the effect of being strong and weak. The so-called 800,000 imperial guards are the most combat-capable existences in the entire Song Dynasty except for border troops.

As for the wing army, it is a local army with slightly insufficient combat power, but these troops will not be stationed in one place for a long time. Often, after five or six years, they will be mobilized nearby by the court to avoid mutinies and other disasters. The only ones that are really immovable in the local area are only the village soldiers, but in the eyes of the court, the combat effectiveness of this militia equivalent to later generations is almost negligible. At most, it will only help the local government arrest some bandits and bandits, and there will be no trouble in the local area.

However, based on Sun Tu's personal experience, he found that things had actually changed. The Xiang army, which should have been stronger than the village soldiers, has now become corrupt due to various reasons. In comparison, the village soldiers at least have a certain deterrent force in the local area. He had already had personal feelings about this when he suppressed bandits in Yuncheng County. At that time, he was much braver than the official army with his brothers who killed Hutou Village.

As for the reason, it is naturally lies in the military system set by the court. Those wing soldiers cannot stay in one place for too long, so they naturally have no sense of identity. For them, eating food is just like working, and they are just a way to survive. They can be lazy and will not let go. However, because of the idea of ​​the villagers, the village soldiers do their best to defend their homeland. So the paradoxical side of the village soldiers is stronger than the regular wing soldiers in the court.

There are naturally both wing troops and rural soldiers in Jiangzhou City, and Sun Tu is the latter under the new local regiment commander. In his opinion, this is much better than training a wing troops that have long been disintegrated.

But when he came to the military camp today and saw the chaotic environment inside and the appearance of a group of men with weak energy appearing in it, Sun Tu really could not equate this place with the military camp. This was not a military camp, it was clearly a broken slum.

Look at the so-called soldiers who are now looking at the so-called soldiers who are waiting for them with curious eyes. They are all listless, not only pale and thin, but also not even decent military uniforms. Moreover, there are almost not many young and strong men in the past.

Is this the Jiangzhou official army? No wonder they were defeated in battle with the water bandits on the Xunyang River. No wonder a few years later, when the Jin people came from the north, the entire Song Dynasty would collapse so quickly. When these local official army faced the ferocious Jin cavalry, they had to choose one way to kill.

Just as Sun Tu and the other four were shocked by the scene in front of them, the two clerks who accompanied them had already entered the military camp in a swagger and shouted at the fairly complete barracks in the middle: "Wu Huan, can Zhu Lin be in the camp? The new Sun Tuanli of the court has arrived, and you won't come out to see you yet!"

After a while, the curtains in front of the barracks trembled, and two strong men rushed out and immediately smiled at the two clerks and saluted: "It turns out that the two men are here, I don't know what instructions?" But I ignored Sun Tu and the other four who had already arrived.

Fortunately, the two clerks talked about Sun Tu's identity again and said with a serious expression: "From today, your battalion will be controlled by Sun Tuan. Follow his orders. This is a military order recommended by Yuanzhou. Do you understand?"

"Yes... I understand little." Wu and Zhu hurriedly nodded again like a chicken pecking at rice, then turned around and bowed to Sun Tu: "Barriage Wu Huan (Primary Head of the Armour of Jiangzhou Township, Wu Huan (Primary Head of the Capital) attended the group training." However, neither the smile on their faces nor the angle of bent down were as good as the attentiveness of the two clerks just now.

Then, without waiting for Sun Tu to react, they shouted to the soldiers around him: "Are you all blind? You can't join us in the group training."
