In the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.

Chu Nanyue slept for half a night in the main general's camp.

As soon as he arrived, Chu Nanyue was already standing in the school yard in military uniform, summoning all the garrisons in the suburbs of Beijing to assemble.

She was heroic, her face was like a crown of jade, and her voice was high and loud: "The soldiers of all battalions, have they all arrived?" ”

It's spring now, and the sky is not yet fully bright, and there is still a touch of fish belly white in the sky.

"General Yuchu, there is still a little bit in numbers." An adjutant general said weakly.

"A little? When did the military become so vague? Chu Nanyue raised his eyes to look at the deputy general, and the fierce general was so handsome that the deputy general did not dare to look at it directly.

"General Hui Chu, there are still more than 300 people who have not yet arrived." The lieutenant bowed his head and replied.

The soldiers are accustomed to living idle days, and they are no longer as swift as fighting from the front army. Maybe it's because the weather is still cold, and everyone is sleepy. The number of people was counted everywhere, and it took a while to finally conclude that there were still more than 300 people who had not arrived.

Chu Nanyue looked at the soldiers who arrived one after another, and couldn't help but shake his head, with some disappointment in his eyes.

The once brave soldiers, after going off the battlefield, have not seen blood for a long time, and have gradually become slack and degenerate.

However, in the end, Chu Nanyue has a reputation in the army, although it was much late, but in the end, those soldiers still arrived one after another, and they all stood at the back of the team.

"If it is a battlefield, you will not see the more than 300 people who have arrived late. The enemy will not pity them, but will only rejoice in them. You'll help bring their things back and eventually give them to their elderly parents with gray temples. Chu Nanyue said with a cold look in his eyes.

After hesitating, a pawn said timidly: "General Chu, but now there is no war, and there will be no deaths......

"yes, it's just that I woke up late today, so it doesn't matter. It's too early, as if it's cold today. ”

As soon as these people's words came out, other people around them echoed them, which showed that most of the soldiers had the same idea.

Chu Nanyue couldn't help but sneer: "Your Majesty is the king of a country, and you can't predict it, are you some kind of Daluo Immortal, can you be completely sure that there will be no sudden war?" What about the time? Once a war is fought, will the enemy still work according to your hour, the sunrise, and the day will not be able to rest? ”

Although the border is temporarily stable, the relationship between countries in ancient times has always been in flux, and it is not uncommon for allies today to become enemies tomorrow.

And if ordinary people are not familiar with it, how can the soldiers who have been fighting on the battlefield for many years forget the truth that soldiers are not tired of deceit.

After Chu Nanyue said this, all the soldiers couldn't help but fall silent.

I only heard Chu Nanyue order loudly: "Zhou Yuanqi! Passing on my order, I ordered all the officers and men of the garrison in the suburbs of Beijing to open the army from now on, and the tuntian is self-sufficient. ”

"Yes, General!" Zhou Yuanqi received the order on the side.

The soldiers were embarrassed and said: "General Chu, the last generals are not unwilling, but there are some people in the army who march and fight at a young age, and the matter of farming has long been forgotten. ”

"I've thought of that for a long time." Chu Nanyue waved his hand, not worried, "The soldiers in the army are too young, only a small part. Speaking of which, most of you were recruited from ordinary people in your early years, and you have worked as a farmer all your life, will you forget your old ability to eat? What's more, it is not difficult for the soldiers to teach each other. ”

Seeing that the soldiers had fewer scruples, she asked Zhou Yuanqi to convey the orders one by one, and then continued: "The daily drills in the army should not be slack. The imperial court will always need brothers, if one day Your Majesty needs us to march to fight, I, Chu Nanyue, will be the first to charge into battle with my brothers! ”

When all the soldiers heard Chu Nanyue's words, they couldn't help but boil with enthusiasm, and their hearts to serve the country with their fists turned into the determination of Tuntian today.

Chu Nanyue's words were finished, and the people in the school field gradually dispersed.

Chu Nanyue's order has also been conveyed, and the daily drills of the soldiers, the formation of troops and other military skills, naturally do not need to be mentioned, they are all kept in mind.

Chu Nanyue also ordered some of the soldiers to be mainly responsible for garrisoning, while another part of the soldiers were engaged in cultivating military fields.

Those who have rich experience in farming are responsible for giving guidance to those who have no experience and exchanging opinions with each other.

And there are a lot of fields, and there is a difference between fat and barren, Chu Nanyue is more careful, and has assigned suitable people to be responsible for them one by one.

Chu Nanyue had previously discussed with the emperor, and in the end, the soldiers in charge of cultivating the fields in the garrison were each given ten acres of land. The granary in the capital also allocated farm tools, ploughing cattle and grain seeds for them.

And according to the same custom, the soldiers also have to pay taxes and grain to the state when the soldiers are mature, that is, they pay a bucket of grain per mu. The rest is owned by the garrison.

Chu Nanyue's method was gradually implemented in the army, although it was still early, at this time, it was still necessary to use the granary of the imperial court to provide food for the soldiers. But when the soldiers thought of the future harvest, they could not suppress the joy in their hearts.

The spring rains are one after another, and the military fields are gradually green, showing a good situation of vigorous growth.

Because of the hope for the future, the soldiers also changed their previous powerlessness and decadence, and in the school drills, they were even more lively.

Chu Nanyue was relieved for a while, leaving this place behind. Fortunately, the emperor also temporarily exempted her from the early dynasty, so that she did not have to worry about the affairs of the court.

So he never returned to the general's palace at night, but stayed in the barracks all day.

"General, the emperor didn't let you work so hard, why do you come every day? Wouldn't it be better if you could go back to the General's Mansion every few days and recuperate? Zhou Yuanqi persuaded in the tent.

"What, you're so tired that you want to go back?" Chu Nanyue joked.

Zhou Yuanqi was worried: "No." It doesn't matter if the last general cries again, I'm afraid that the general's body will be tired, and the general will still have old wounds......"

Ever since Zhou Yuanqi knew that Chu Nanyue was a woman, he was always worried about Chu Nanyue's energy, intentionally or unintentionally.

He didn't know it before, but now that he knows, he should always be more caring.

However, Chu Nanyue smiled, understood what Zhou Yuanqi meant, and said coldly: "Men can ignore everything, just because I am a woman, I have become a delicate person, and I only deserve to stay in the boudoir?" ”

"General, I'm ......"

Seeing Zhou Yuanqi's speech, she softened her expression and explained: "If I really like the life of the boudoir, and the Chu family wants me to join the army, will I have no resistance at all?" Yuan Qi, you are good for me, I understand, but if you despise me because of the difference between men and women, you don't have to be my lieutenant. ”

Chu Nanyue's words were ruthless, but Zhou Yuanqi became more and more firm in his heart, and knelt on the ground: "General! Yuan Qi knew that he was wrong! ”

Isn't Chu Nanyue's pride and decisiveness from beginning to end the reason why he chose to follow?
