The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 197 Military Camp

Tang Peipei's carriage drove directly into the general's mansion.

Tang Peipei asked the housekeeper who came to greet her, "Is the general in the study?"

The housekeeper was a little puzzled to see Tang Peipei so anxious, but he was just a servant and it was not easy for him to ask about the master's affairs.

"The general went to the camp outside the city today. When he left, he said he would be back later."

Tang Peipei never expected that Mu Jintang, who would always be waiting for her at home at lunch time, was not at home today.

"General, why haven't you returned yet at this hour?"

The butler replied: "The general sent a message today saying that there will be a military exercise today and the general has to go and give instructions."

Tang Peipei didn't care about anything else and pulled Ye Yunshu onto the carriage again and headed straight for the camp outside the city.

Since Mu Jintang returned to the capital, the emperor asked him to assist the capital's garrison commander, General Meng, in training soldiers. General Meng was the chief general, and Mu Jintang was the deputy general. His main task was to help improve the combat capability of the capital's garrison.

However, there is no war to fight in the capital. Except for the occasional need to eliminate some bandits, there is almost no real place to use military force. Therefore, the soldiers in the capital are free and undisciplined. They even drink and gamble in the barracks. Moreover, most of the soldiers are descendants of those aristocratic families. They just want to get a position in the future so as not to be accused of not doing their job properly. These people do not have real military talent and combat qualities. They join the army just to go through the motions and get a layer of gold.

However, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the garrison in the capital, these dandies must be strictly trained. However, since these people have powerful family backgrounds, it is not easy to effectively manage and train them. Moreover, if these people are treated too harshly, it may cause dissatisfaction and revenge from their families.

Mu Jintang had consulted with the commander, General Meng, many times about this matter, but General Meng was too old and had no intention of managing.

General Meng didn't care, so Mu Jintang had to take charge himself.

First, the general carefully checked all the people in the army. The original idea was that only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle.

However, what was unexpected was that many generals were found to have violated laws and disciplines.

Half of the soldiers are involved in corruption and bribery.

Some people in the army replaced the best knives, swords, spears, bows and arrows in the camp with broken weapons.

But those high-quality weapons disappeared.

Because the amount involved is too large and too much, Mu Jintang dared not speak out before the investigation was complete and could only investigate secretly.

Mu Jintang followed this clue and discovered that the third prince was raising an army.

Mu Jintang knew that he could not reveal the fact that the Third Prince maintained an army yet, but he was so angry at these people for violating the law that he threw them all into jail on other charges.

Seeing so many officials being sent to prison, the soldiers were so frightened that they trembled in fear and dared not commit suicide anymore.

But there are still some children from aristocratic families who think they are very different and that Mu Jintang dare not do anything to them, so they keep provoking Mu Jintang.

But they completely forgot that in addition to the title of General Weide bestowed by the Emperor, Mu Jintang also had another title given by the people and the enemy - General Yanluo.

Mu Jintang killed people like crazy on the battlefield without even blinking an eye.

The same is true in the military camp. If anyone dares to violate military orders and act recklessly, General Yan Luo will come out to reap lives.

Although it is not easy to kill those children from noble families, he can throw these bad apples out of the military camp.

Mu Jintang's thunderous methods immediately subdued everyone.

Of course, those children of noble families who were thrown out were also selected by Mu Jintang after making inquiries.

Some people were definitely dissatisfied and reported it to the emperor. Mu Jintang only said, "How about I give up my position and let your son train an army for the emperor that can rival the Mu family army?"

I know what kind of person my son is, and I know he doesn't have the ability to do that, so of course I can't respond to this.

In the end, he could only leave in shame with his unfilial son.

The emperor is in poor health and is worried about internal and external troubles. He must hope that Mu Jintang can train the troops in the capital into an army like the Mu Family Army, which can fight ten enemies at once. In this way, he will feel guaranteed and at ease.

From then on, all the training in the military camp outside the city was handed over to Mu Jintang alone.

Mu Jintang has always been thinking about the Third Prince's stationing of troops, and recently he has been putting all his energy and effort into training the soldiers.

He was fully aware of the tight time schedule and arduous task, so he developed a strict and efficient training plan.

First, Mu Jintang stipulated that the soldiers should conduct a small-scale exercise every three days.

Such frequent exercises are designed to keep soldiers alert and in combat status at all times, and to improve their reaction speed and response capabilities through constant real-combat simulations.

Moreover, different scenarios and tasks will be set for each exercise to increase the soldiers' experience and adaptability.

In addition, Mu Jintang will arrange a large-scale military exercise every five days.

This military exercise is more formal and intense than small-scale exercises. It will comprehensively test the soldiers' combat qualities and teamwork capabilities.

In order to motivate soldiers to perform at their best, Mu Jintang made it clear that a reward and punishment system would be established.

Any soldier who can achieve excellent results in the top ten in large-scale exercises, regardless of his or her social status, can get promotion opportunities based on his or her own achievements.

Moreover, each military exercise can get an upgrade, and there is no upper limit. In this way, every soldier has the motivation and goal to strive for progress, and they will go all out in order to stand out in the military exercise.

Under Mu Jintang's careful planning, the soldiers' enthusiasm for training has increased day by day. They actively participated in every exercise and military drill, constantly improving their strength.

The atmosphere of the entire army has become more united and inspiring. Everyone understands that only through unremitting efforts can they be invincible in future battles.

Mu Jintang also believed that as long as they persisted in this training method, even if they could not fight ten enemies alone, they would be able to defend the capital and would not be easily breached by the Third Prince's men.

When Tang Peipei brought Ye Yunshu to the military camp, she did not see Mu Jintang.

He said he took the soldiers up the mountain.

Tang Peipei felt a sense of powerlessness as everything went wrong today.

But we still had to stay calm and send someone to call Mu Jintang back first.

He took Ye Yunshu to Mu Jintang's exclusive tent in the military camp.

Mu Jintang came back very quickly.

Can it be faster?

Madam was so anxious that she even came to the military camp. There must be something important.
