C45 (1/2)
On the way back to his residence, Qiu Zhen would open his mouth from time to time, but then shut it again, as if he wanted to say something.
Tang Yin said: ”If you have something to say, then say it. Don't stutter, let others feel sorry for you.”
Qiu Zhen sighed and said: ”Big Brother Tang, I feel that in public, you shouldn't get too close with Wu Mei.”
Tang Yin frowned, and asked: ”What do you mean?”
Qiu Zhen said: ”Wu Mei is from a noble family, and is extremely beautiful, many of the rich and famous families view her as their treasure. If Big Brother Tang is too close to her, it will most likely cause people to be jealous, and cause trouble. Right now, our footing in the capital is not stable, and we have no roots, so once trouble breaks out, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous to us. ”
Tang Yin pondered for a moment, then laughed at the sky, not answering directly but instead proudly saying: ”I will naturally think of all kinds of ways to get what I want. If I really want Wu Mei, then how can my woman allow others to spy on her and touch her?”
From his words, Qiu Zhen could not tell whether he actually liked Wu Mei or not. However, his personality of doing as he pleased made Qiu Zhen very worried, but he did not know how to advise him otherwise.
Sigh! Qiu Zhen secretly sighed, and said: ”No matter what, Big Brother Tang must always pay more attention, and be more careful.”
”I know.” Tang Yin raised his lower jaw and said indifferently.
Tang Yin was a person who was both arrogant and inferior, passionate and cold. His existence was in itself a contradiction in terms.
On the second day, Wu Mei sent four Captains to Tang Yin. These four people were the elites that she had carefully selected from the other divisions. Not only were they strong and powerful, they also had rich combat experience. They were all veteran captains. Following that, Wu Mei brought Tang Yin and the core members of the Second Regiment to the North of City Battalion to receive new recruits.
Tang Yin was alone, he was used to living alone, and was afraid of trouble the most. As for how to train the recruits, as well as how to select the captains and Junior Captain s, they were all left to the thousand-man commanders of the various formations to handle on their own.
That night, he summoned Qiu Zhen and the ten Captains to his residence.
The ten people were divided into two rows, the main hall wasn't big to begin with, and the people sitting in the back had already been pushed to the entrance.
Seeing that, Tang Yin waved and said: ”Why are you sitting so far away? Everyone come over and sit!”
”This …” Everyone looked at each other, none of them daring to move. In the military, the upper and lower relations are impassable, paying attention to etiquette and etiquette.
Seeing that no one was moving, Tang Yin tilted his head and asked unhappily: What's wrong? Is there a problem with that? ”
”Oh …” Everyone looked at each other, not daring to say a word.
Qiu Zhen had the longest time of coming into contact with Tang Yin, so he knew that Tang Yin was carefree. He waved to the rest: ”Everyone, do not be restrained, just do as General Tang says!” While talking, he moved the chair over and sat beside Tang Yin.
Everyone knew that Qiu Zhen and Tang Yin's relationship was the closest, so seeing him like that, everyone was relieved. They all sat around him.
Seeing them sit around, Tang Yin finally felt a little more comfortable. He first looked at the four Captains Wu Mei had chosen for him, and leisurely said: ”I know that the four of you are all experienced veterans.
”General Tang is too polite!” The four of them were all in their thirties, named Deng Mingyang, Lu Bing, Zhang Jiu, and Li Feipeng.
Just as Tang Yin had said, they were all military veterans who had muddled along for many years. They had seen and experienced too many things. On the surface, they seemed to be respectful to Tang Yin, but in reality, their hearts were disapproving, thinking that Tang Yin did not have any background or young age, so he was able to obtain such a high position, all because of Wu Mei's promotion. As for the relationship between the two of them, it goes without saying.
Tang Yin did not care what they thought, as long as it did not affect him, he would just let them think.
He cleared his throat and sternly said, ”I don't want to know how you train new recruits, but I do want to know one thing. The soldiers I want are not simple infantry, they want to be mounted soldiers or cavalry soldiers, dismounted horses or infantry soldiers, armed archers or archers, and in close combat they are ordinary soldiers. Can they do that?”
Gu Yue, Le Tian, Li Wei, Liu Zhong Sheng, Chen Fang and Ai Jia did not have any objections, they felt that his request was good, the more comprehensive the strength of the soldiers, the more flexible they would be after bringing them to the battlefield, and the more useful it would be.
However, Deng Mingyang, Lu Bing, Zhang Jiu, and Li Feipeng frowned. They felt that doing this was simply nonsense.
Second Regiment was a division of infantry, so what use was there in training other skills? To let them focus on close-combat skills, they needed to learn all kinds of formations and changes in formations. And if they really followed Tang Yin's instructions and trained to such an extent, perhaps not many recruits would be able to hold on.
Just by hearing Tang Yin's words, she knew that he was an amateur.
