Chapter 9: Joining the army under the command of the Garrison Commander!

"Sir, isn't it a bit too hasty to recruit so many soldiers at once?"

After all, the imperial court also stipulated that any significant increase in the organization and number of soldiers within the military camps required the court's approval.

One of the sword commanders, perhaps sensing that Mo Fei's suggestion diminished his authority, tentatively reminded Mo Fei:

Mo Fei looked down at Dao Tong, who had offered his opinion.

I seem to remember that this knife-wielding man's surname is Liu. He must be a relative of Eunuch Liu.

However, now that Eunuch Liu is dead, perhaps he has not yet had time to deal with him.

"Oh! Liu Daotong, do you have any good ideas? Tell me."

Mo Fei sneered inwardly, but outwardly remained calm as he asked:

"I think we can increase the number of soldiers in each sword-wielding squad. This way, it won't violate the imperial court's regulations too much."

As for the issue of expanding the staff, Your Excellency can submit a memorial to the court before implementing it.

Seeing that Mo Fei hadn't reprimanded him, Liu Daotong was overjoyed and continued:

"Increase the number of people? In Liu Daotong's opinion, how much do you think is appropriate?"

"Isn't the lord going to expand the number of sword squads by seven this time?"

"Wouldn't it be perfect if we just incorporated these additional personnel into our existing knife-wielding team?"

This will make it easier for subordinates to manage, right? We older folks are quite easy to manage too.”

Mo Fei chuckled inwardly, thinking, "You've got a good plan."

Mo Fei didn't rush to reject him, but instead turned to look at the other sword commanders and said:

"Please share your opinions so I can take a look."

Before the other sword masters could speak, Cheng Lei and Xue Gang both loudly mocked:

"We agree with the Governor's idea."

"As for Liu Daotong's suggestion to expand the number of Daotong's troops, I think you're just daydreaming."

"A commander with 3000 soldiers, why don't you just expand it to 1?"

After the two spoke first, the other sword commanders, being shrewd individuals, naturally refrained from intervening. They all expressed their support for the Commander's decision.

"Liu Daotong! It seems this is just your opinion and viewpoint."

Since that's the case, then let the minority submit to the majority. The entire army will conduct a military exercise tomorrow.

Perhaps seeing that the other leaders recognized the situation, he simply ended the meeting.

When Liu Daotong was all alone, looking at the gloating expressions on the faces of the many Daotongs who filed out of the camp, he suddenly felt as if he had fallen into the cold winter.

The next morning, the camp arranged for people to post the news of the tax reduction on bulletin boards throughout the streets and alleys of Los Angeles.

When Los Angeles residents saw that the tax cuts that had been circulating a few days ago had actually been implemented, they cheered with joy.

"The taxes have actually been reduced! Since the Governor took office, he has really implemented many benefits for the people of Luocheng. We people of Luocheng are truly blessed now."

"Indeed, compared to when Eunuch Liu was around, who was exploiting people every day, the Commander-in-Chief is much more merciful."

"Have you heard? The Garrison Commander is currently raising recruitment flags at the camp and recruiting young men to join the army."

"Yeah! Do you have any sons in your family who want to join the army? I heard that the pay for soldiers has increased significantly these days."

Serving as a soldier under the command of the Garrison Commander, I've heard, comes with very generous benefits.

"Hearing you say that, I have to go back and let my son try it out." "Old man Nan, let your Erniu and my Dazhuang go together, so they can look after each other."

The people of the Song Dynasty have suffered for far too long; surely we should grant them some kindness.

As long as they could survive and their lives were made a little easier, they began to feel grateful to Mo Fei.

Could it be that this tax cut has won the hearts of the entire city of Los Angeles?

This led to the subsequent recruitment process proceeding very smoothly.

After the recruitment flags were raised outside the camp, young men from Luocheng began to come and join the army.

Meanwhile, several high platforms had already been erected on the training ground inside the camp.

On the largest platform in the center, Mo Fei was sitting cross-legged in the main seat, with Cheng Lei and Xue Gang standing on his left and right respectively.

Below the high platform stood a densely packed array of soldiers in neat formation.

The soldiers had already heard about the details of today's military skills competition.

Some of them, who were quite confident in their abilities, were already eagerly awaiting the start of the martial arts competition.

Mo Fei rose and stepped forward onto the stage, whereupon the many soldiers below spontaneously raised their voices in unison:

Welcome, Commander-in-Chief!

Welcome, Commander-in-Chief!

……

The soldiers below the platform, along with many officers who had been promoted in the previous batch, looked at Mo Fei with fervent fervor.

Perhaps the new system and structure gave them the opportunity for promotion.

It will never be like before, where no matter how outstanding you are, if you don't have connections, you will ultimately have no way to advance.

Moreover, their food, military pay, and living conditions have been greatly improved at Mo Fei's request.

Could it be that they haven't been stingy in these areas at all?

Everything was provided to the soldiers to the highest standards, and the soldiers naturally felt the changes in their lives.

The feedback from the current results has made Mo Fei quite satisfied.

As long as the soldiers are willing to fight and risk their lives for him, expending some material possessions is not a problem for Mo Fei at all.

Did he first raise his hand to quell the shouts of the soldiers before speaking loudly:

"Fellow soldiers of Luo City, today's all-army military exercise, proposed by this garrison commander, will be an opportunity for you all to distinguish yourselves."

I hope you can all seize this opportunity and demonstrate your strong abilities.

This garrison commander has always believed in the principle of the capable rising and the mediocre falling.

There is no limit to the number of positions available in this challenge.

If you believe you are strong enough to be stronger than any of the sword masters present, you may also challenge them.

For example, our Commander Liu told me privately yesterday that he was planning to give you all a good lesson today.

Thank you! Kong Zhou, Zhou Jianxiao, and Liu Xiaochou are all here. If you like this book, please leave a comment! Don't make the author play alone!
