PFC Chapter 136 Shen Ping's Shock
Chapter 136 Shen Ping's Shock
When I woke up the next day, Shen Ping and Li Guanghua were already waiting in the hall.
Anxious, Shen Ping urgently inquired with Xu Tianyi's steward.
"They really didn't do anything inappropriate last night, did they...?"
He was genuinely worried that something might happen between a man and a woman alone together.
Li Guanghua chuckled, "Don't be afraid, just tell the truth. Even if things go wrong, at worst the sect leader will marry Miss Shen, haha..."
Shen Ping glared at him.
The Shen family chose Yue Shan first because he was single, unlike Xu Tianyi.
The two stared at the butler, who smiled.
"Don't worry, Miss Shen stayed on the second floor last night, and the cult leader stayed on the first floor."
Hearing this, Shen Ping finally felt relieved.
The housekeeper was also a woman, belonging to the inner courtyard housekeeper category.
It's inappropriate to have a woman as a housekeeper, but since this isn't Xu Tianyi's permanent residence, it doesn't really matter.
Shen Ping wanted to ask something more, but unexpectedly Xu Tianyi and Shen Miao had already come out.
Having lived in a military camp, Shen Miao naturally wouldn't sleep in late.
Xu Tianyi rarely stayed up late. In the early stages of starting a business, which emperor didn't work hard to govern?
Li Longji is a prime example; he was wise and capable in his early years, but became muddleheaded and incompetent in his later years.
Simply put, after fighting a lifetime of wars, can't you enjoy yourself?
This indulgence laid the foundation for the demise of the Tang Dynasty.
Xu Tianyi is still quite diligent for the time being.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the three of them headed together to the military camp in Chongsheng City.
Of course, Shen Ping also brought a gift.
It has enough muskets and gunpowder to equip a thousand people.
You must be sincere when asking someone for a favor.
However, Xu Tianyi has no plans to train a firearms corps for the time being.
Firstly, we currently lack personnel who are proficient in the correct training and use of firearms in the military.
Since victory can be achieved through military formations and strategies, there is no reason to risk placing all hopes on the firearms legion.
Xu Tianyi felt that he had to win this battle to gain the full support of the Shen family.
Only in this way can we consider things like firearms armies or even mech legions.
The coordination between military formations and firearms is very important.
The Shen family had already demonstrated the perfect combination and coordination between their firearms army and their melee weapon legion.
Therefore, Xu Tianyi felt that this army could only be developed through the cooperation of Shen Miao and Yue Shan.
At that time, we will surely be invincible and unstoppable!
. .
The three rode on fast horses, and the weapons were entrusted to the bodyguards and the inspector for escort.
Every county had numerous escort agencies, large and small. These agencies were private entities, while the inspectors were official government officials with established positions.
Generally, escort agencies don't bring a supervisor. If they do, it's either because the goods are important and require official approval, or because the goods belong to the government.
Although the Northwest is peaceful, it is not without desperate criminals, especially in this era without surveillance, making it very difficult to solve cases.
Therefore, the existence of escort agencies is very useful.
Civilian organizations don't earn much money for helping transport official supplies, but they earn merit. These merits are then certified by the supervising official. As they accumulate more merits, the escort agency has the opportunity to be upgraded, and they can even be promoted.
In the words "fame" and "fortune," "fame" comes first.
Therefore, even if it's free, security escort agencies usually vie to take on orders from the government.
Upgrading also has its benefits; the higher the level of the escort agency, the more knowledge you can gain.
For example, in terms of cultivation techniques, martial arts skills, military formation diagrams, etc., one can even exchange merits for guidance from experts to improve one's cultivation, or use merits to join the Valley God Sect as a mid-level figure and meet the sect leader.
This was also Xu Tianyi's policy; he intentionally cultivated these civilian forces because if he banned them, they would turn into underground gangs and become more difficult to manage.
Moreover, they lack manpower, and these bodyguards are very useful when force is needed.
The three of them rode quickly to the military camp.
Along the way, Xu Tianyi brainwashed Shen Miao, and now Shen Miao couldn't wait to see if he was just bragging.
Two hundred li, and at full speed, it would take less than an hour to reach.
Of course, the horses here are all a bit eerie, not ordinary horses.
The Eternal World has many strange beasts, but the Boundless Empire still prefers to use horses because they are docile, reliable, and relatively intelligent, and are very easy to use after training.
Grassland tribes like to use animals such as bears, deer, and wolves.
For example, Temur could ride a wolf when he got up. His wolf was called White Wind, and it was about the same size as a normal tall horse.
However, his wolf was killed in an attack by the combined forces of the Star Deer Tribe and the Rock Bear Tribe.
Military camps typically had watchtowers and scouts located about twenty miles away.
Xu Tianyi and his group knew each other, so they had a smooth journey.
Shen Miao was quite amazed.
"Not bad, Boss Xu. Your army doesn't look like they've only been training for a month."
Xu Tianyi smiled and said, "I don't understand these things. I don't even know how to set up scouts, set up camps, or how to station and defend troops."
These were arranged by General Yue Pingzhi.
Shen Miao chuckled: "So you're saying an amateur is directing an expert..."
"What are you talking about? I only need to make decisions; the general will handle the specifics. I never interfere."
Shen Miao was skeptical.
Soon, the three arrived at the entrance of the camp.
Yue Pingzhi immediately came forward to meet them, and led the surrounding soldiers to pay their respects.
Xu Tianyi simply thumped his chest in return.
Shen Miao wanted to follow, but after looking at her own chest, she couldn't bring herself to do it.
Afterwards, Xu Tianyi and Yue Pingzhi led Shen Miao and Shen Ping on a tour of the entire military camp's management and training.
Shen Ping became more and more satisfied the more he looked at it.
After entering the tent, he immediately exclaimed, "General Yue Pingzhi is indeed remarkable. Apart from the fact that his cultivation level is a bit low, this army can be considered an elite force!"
Shen Ping is highly experienced. The Shen family also has several thousand soldiers.
He hadn't seen any military personnel in Taikang before; all he saw were city management officers and constables doing official work.
They can handle ordinary bandits without any problem, but once a Grand Martial Master appears, they are basically at the mercy of others.
However, there are skilled bodyguards in the city, so there is a means of defense.
Therefore, Xu Tianyi was able to firmly control all the towns.
But it couldn't give Shen Ping a sense of security.
Seeing such a powerful and imposing army, he was naturally delighted.
The strength of an army can be seen from its morale, formation, discipline, equipment, the soldiers' skill level, and the general's command ability.
At this moment, Shen Ping saw Xu Tianyi's army, which was constantly training, had high morale, was fully equipped, was well-organized, and had strict military discipline, so he was naturally satisfied.
As for the soldiers' cultivation level, this can be seen from the distribution of food and medicine, as well as the cultivation methods they practice.
He even saw footage of daily training rewards being distributed in public, indicating that the officers inside would not embezzle military pay.
The number of soldiers is also readily apparent and will not vary significantly.
The practice of receiving salaries without working and falsifying the number of employees has been largely eliminated.
The entire military camp was strictly managed, with no fighting, gambling, drinking, or prostitution.
The soldiers did not resist the punishment, nor did they shout angrily, rebuke, or cry out that they were wronged.
With continued training, the strength of such an army will inevitably increase day by day.
Shen Ping was naturally extremely satisfied.
