Chapter 232 Lessons
Don't take it to heart about the little fight between the three people.

After Jiang Shaohua sent a memorial to the court, he set off for Wuyin County. Magistrate Gao of Wuyin County also gave Jiang Shaohua an unexpected surprise.

It turns out that Magistrate Gao bought a large amount of sorghum seeds before spring plowing and distributed them to the people. Sorghum is drought-tolerant and is not affected by the lack of rain and is growing quite well. At least, Wuyin County will not be short of food this year.

Jiang Shaohua praised County Magistrate Gao pleasantly.

County Magistrate Gao humbly raised his hands and responded: "I talked with Magistrate Cai this year and got a lot of advice from Magistrate Cai. I used to immerse myself in doing things, but I didn't know how to do it, and I didn't see any results. From now on, I will We need to use our brains more and think of ways to improve people’s livelihood and try our best to keep people full.”

It is really encouraging and gratifying that the ministers have such awareness and initiative.

Jiang Shaohua's gloomy mood for the past few days was gone.

After spending a few days in Wuyin County, the last stop was the Nanyang Military Camp.

After not coming for half a year, Jiang Shaohua was keenly aware of the changes as soon as he entered the military camp. The soldiers all had rosy faces, which showed that they were eating well, and the clothes they wore were all the new military uniforms issued this year. Morale was visibly lifted.

"General Yu has been working hard for more than half a year." Jiang Shaohua praised with a smile: "I entered the Nanyang military camp today, and my morale is quite high."

Yu Chongri led the troops to practice. He was tanned and showed two rows of bright teeth when he smiled: "Last year in the martial arts performance, the Nanyang army worshiped under the guard battalion. Everyone was unconvinced. Holding a breath, I practiced. Half a year. Everyone is looking forward to the princess’s early inspection.”

This was said with a hint of provocation.

Liu Hengchang remained calm and glanced at Yu Chong.

The civil servants looked down upon each other, which was quite reserved. When it comes to military commanders, it is common for them to compete with each other. It is said that there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Who is convinced?

Yu Chong suffered a loss at the hands of the Second Battalion. Now he wants to make amends with the Third Battalion of the Guards, but it depends on whether he, the commander of the Third Battalion, will agree!
Yu Chong looked back without showing any signs of weakness. The two generals looked at each other, and a spark seemed to flash in the air.

Jiang Shaohua saw it in his eyes and was secretly amused, but he didn't say anything.

Military generals must have a strong spirit. There are no battles to fight on weekdays, so a martial arts demonstration is just right. It can also encourage the soldiers to practice hard!

Sure enough, when they had just settled down in the military camp and had dinner together in the evening, Yu Chong couldn't wait to mention the martial arts performance: "Princess, the last time we performed martial arts, the Nanyang Army lost very badly. In the past six months, I will learn from this painful experience. I want to practice hard while the third battalion of guards comes to ask for some martial arts lessons."

Jiang Shaohua turned around with a smile: "What do you think, Commander Liu?"

Liu Hengchang answered very succinctly: "At the end of the day, I would like to discuss things with General Yu."

Jiang Shaohua smiled slightly: "Okay. The guards have been rushing around and rest for three days. After three days, General Yu will order 600 elite soldiers to perform martial arts with the three battalions of the guards."

If it were Qin Zhan or Meng Dashan here, they would definitely be patting their chests and saying that they can fight tomorrow without rest.

Liu Hengchang never wants unnecessary face. After the guards repaired it, it was in better condition. It is safer to win.

"Yes, the general will take your orders."

……

Three days later, the school martial arts field.

Liu Hengchang went down personally and commanded 600 personal guards. Yu Chong was so enthusiastic that he also played in person.

The weapons used by the soldiers were all made of wood, and the tips of the spears and knives were stained with white lime. As long as they were touched, white spots would remain on their bodies. This means that if you lose, you have to quit martial arts.

Jiang Shaohua smiled and told the two of them: "During martial arts, it is inevitable that there will be some skin injuries. However, you must be measured in your actions and do not attack the vital parts." Liu Hengchang and Yu Chong agreed.

The soldiers also agreed eagerly.

Jiang Shaohua personally beat the military drum. After a burst of drumming, the martial arts performance officially began.

Among the three Shiren, Lu Cong was a civil servant and knew nothing about arranging troops to fight and kill. I was very focused at the moment.

Ma Yaozong is proficient in martial arts, and he is at the age when young people are enthusiastic. His blood surges from time to time, and he clenches his fists from time to time. I wish I could be in the martial arts arena, holding a wooden gun and killing everyone.

Chen Jinyu looked at it for a while, then laughed quietly and said: "Princess, the third battalion has always had the upper hand."

Jiang Shaohua chuckled and said: "General Liu is the best at leading and training troops. One and two battalions are no match for three battalions. Naturally, the elite soldiers in the Nanyang Army are no match."

"However, the Nanyang Army has indeed practiced well in the past six months." Song Yuan, who was silent and rarely spoke, rarely opened his mouth to praise: "General Yu has indeed put in a lot of hard work."

However, things like military training never happen overnight. The Guards Battalion drills every day and never slacks off. It is impossible for the Nanyang Army to catch up in half a year.

Yu Chong also knew it well. He was so proactive, firstly to show his loyalty to the princess, and secondly, he also wanted to use martial arts training to get rid of the impetuous spirit in the military camp.

An hour later, Ming Jin retreated his troops.

The Third Battalion of the Guards won without any suspense, with more than 400 soldiers remaining on the field.

Looking at the Nanyang Army again, more than half of the 600 people had been beaten back, leaving only 200 people on the field.

Yu Chong's face was not very good, and he handed over his hands with a look of shame: "The last general has lost! The third battalion of personal guards is amazing! Commander Liu has trained his troops well!"

Liu Hengchang smiled and held up his hands: "Let's give in!"

Yu Chong was also a son of a general. He had read military books and learned the art of war, and he was very "knowledgeable". After returning to the military tent, he said to his confidants: "Today's martial arts performance, you all have experienced the power of the third battalion."

"This Liu Hengchang is the best at training formations. A team of five people, with different weapons of different lengths, has a very good coordination between advance and retreat."

"We will have to work harder on the military formation in the future."

The generals looked at each other and responded accordingly.

Li Tie relied on his ability as a grassroots man to stay under the radar in the past six months and became one of Yu Chong's confidants. Hearing this, he whispered: "It is inconvenient for General Yu to come forward, so I will go to find Commander Liu privately." Learn from him.”

As the commander-in-chief of an army, Yu Chong is indeed inconvenient to do such a thing. It would be appropriate for Li Tie to go.

Yu Chong thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "Okay, you can go and ask Commander Liu for advice in private. By the way, don't go empty-handed. I have a good knife here. You can take it to Commander Liu. Let the cook cook a few more dishes." Send the food to Liu Tong’s military tent.”

Eat people with short mouths, and take people softly.

Liu Hengchang had a sumptuous dinner, put away his sword, and pointed out the shortcomings of the Nanyang army.

The generals communicated privately. Jiang Shaohua knew it well but did not interfere. Civil servants form cliques, and military generals also like to form cliques. These are inevitable.

After staying in the Nanyang military camp for several days, Jiang Shaohua led everyone back to Nanyang County.

Cui Du sent someone to deliver a message that the new grain in the farm was about to be harvested. She wanted to go to the farm to collect new grain in person.
