Fortunate Young Gentleman

Rui Yi Xiao Lang Jun Text Volume 528 Oversupply "General Tang."

Tang Ning walked to the parade ground, and a captain saw him and immediately saluted respectfully.

Tang Ning glanced at the parade ground and asked, "Where are the captains?"

The captain was also puzzled and said, "I don't know why, except for Captain Zhang and three others, all the other captains have asked for leave today."

The Zuo Xiaowei had 5,000 people, and Tang Ning divided them into ten camps, with a total of ten captains, each leading 500 soldiers. The usual training instructions and tasks were all carried out by them.

Seven of the ten captains were not there, and there was no one to supervise and guide them. No wonder everyone was so unfocused on the parade ground today.

This was probably Zhang Chao's trick. He seemed to want to prove that in the Zuo Xiaowei, his words were the ones that counted. Although the Lieutenant General was one level higher, if he had no power to restrain his subordinates, he would be nothing more than a commander without troops.

Tang Ning looked at the captain again and asked, "Where is General Zhang Zuolang?"

The captain said, "General Zhang Zuolang is also at home on sick leave."

Tang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Send someone to tell the seven lieutenants that they must get my approval to ask for leave in the future. If they don't come tomorrow, they will be punished by military law."

The captain looked at him, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Yes."

In a restaurant in Beijing, Zhang Chao took a gulp of wine and said, "If I don't live well, then no one will live well. Isn't the Tang guy capable? If he is capable, he can go and train his own troops!"

A lieutenant beside him looked at him and hesitated, "But General Zhang, General Tang sent someone to pass on a message. If we don't arrive tomorrow, we will be subject to military law..."

"What are you afraid of?" Zhang Chao waved his hand and said, "If he says military law, then it's military law? You asked for leave from me, which is in line with military regulations. He is a general, how can he be lawless?"

Several lieutenants who are close to Zhang Chao smiled, clinked their glasses, and stopped talking about this matter.

Although Tang Ning is a general, he can't stay in Zuo Xiaowei for long. He may go to other places in a few months. But by then, they will still be under General Zhang Zuolang. They know who they should listen to between the two.

…

In the Cavalry Camp, Tang Ning stood at the front, looked up at the sun, and asked, "What time is it?"

Xiao Jue said, "It's the quarter of an hour."

According to military regulations, the ten lieutenants should have assembled before the hour of Si. At this time, a quarter of an hour had passed, but there were only three in front of Tang Ning.

The seven lieutenants who did not arrive yesterday still did not arrive today.

A captain stepped forward and said, "General Tang, there are still seven lieutenants who have not arrived."

"Those who have not arrived don't need to come." Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "Ling Feng, come here."

Ling Feng, who was running in circles, came over with a huff. In just a few days, his temperament has changed significantly. He no longer looks like a dandy. Although he does not look strong, he can give people a sense of sharpness.

After these few days, Tang Ning also found that although Ling Feng was a playboy, he was not hopeless. He was probably not much different from Xiao Jue before. The most important thing was that he was obedient. He would run circles honestly when asked to run, train honestly when asked to train, never go west when asked to go east, and never catch chickens when asked to chase dogs. Most of the children from generals have such good qualities.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood up straight and said, "General Tang, what instructions do you have?"

Tang Ning picked up a pen, wrote his name on a notice, and said, "From now on, you are the captain of the second battalion."

In the Xiaoqi Battalion, the greatest permission given to him by Emperor Chen was that he could directly appoint military positions below the captain, including the captain, without going through the court.

Of course, this also had certain limitations. Although Ling Feng was hanging around in the capital all day, unlike Huang Yulong and others, the Ling family was once prominent, and he himself had a nominal position equivalent to the captain, which was not very useful at ordinary times. At this time, his usefulness was reflected.

It is much easier to promote him from a captain to a lieutenant than to promote other common people.

Ling Feng stared at Tang Ning and asked uncertainly: "Me?"

Tang Ning looked at him and asked: "You don't want to?"

After Ling Feng came to his senses, he immediately nodded and said: "Yes, yes..."

A lieutenant is in charge of 500 people. It is not easy to get to this position in one step. Let alone a lieutenant, it is not easy to climb to a captain at his age.

He doesn't care how many people he is in charge of. The main thing is that after becoming a lieutenant, he is also a person of status here, so he doesn't have to run around every day, right?

Of course, he was very happy to become a lieutenant of the imperial army. As the saying goes, good things should not flow to outsiders. Although this brother-in-law is narrow-minded, he didn't think about others when he had such a good thing.

The young captain looked at Tang Ning in surprise and asked, "General Tang, isn't the captain of the second battalion Wei?"

Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "Wei Danian and seven others were absent without reason and disobeyed orders. I have removed their positions and handed them over to the Ministry of War for punishment. New captains will be appointed in the next two days."

The young captain's eyes showed shock. Dismissing all seven captains at once was not only breaking Zhang Zuolang's arms, but also cutting him into a human stick!

There has never been such a thing in the history of Zuo Xiaowei. If two more people were moved, Zhang Zuolang would really be left alone in Zuo Xiaowei.

Tang Ning sat in the barracks with six blank certificates in front of him.

He looked at Xiao Jue and said, "Liu Jun is the only one who is qualified to become a lieutenant in one step. There are still five people missing. Why don't you ask again..."

"No more." Xiao Jue shook his head and sighed, "It's their fault for not living up to their expectations. An eighth-rank soldier is okay, but none of them are qualified to become a lieutenant in one step..."

Tang Ning had no other way to deal with this matter for the time being. This was equivalent to him preparing six super big buns for them. Unfortunately, Mu Yu and others didn't have a big appetite. If they forced themselves to eat, they would choke to death. They could only settle for the next best thing.

Who would have thought that the position of lieutenant in the imperial army would also be in oversupply.

Tang Ning thought for a while and said, "If you want to join the army, wait for two more days. I will try to arrange it in these two days."

Zhang Chao wanted to compete with him for who was the master of Zuo Xiaowei. Tang Ning naturally didn't mind. This was just a pilot for Chen Huang. Before the test results came out, he could do whatever he wanted.

He really wanted to see if Zhang Chao could still sit still.

In fact, Zhang Chao's patience was a little worse than he expected. A quarter of an hour later, he walked into Tang Ning's barracks angrily and asked, "General Tang, what do you mean? What mistakes did Wei Danian and the others make? You want to dismiss them all. Don't you think this is too much?"

Tang Ning said calmly, "As a soldier, he can't even obey orders. Such a lieutenant is better off not having him."

Zhang Chao said angrily, "Even so, dismissing seven lieutenants at once, isn't it too arbitrary for Lord Tang?"

Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Is it not okay?"

"You!" Zhang Chao finally couldn't help it, pointed at him, and said, "As a general of the Central Army, you are arrogant and domineering, arbitrary, and you dismiss and appoint positions at will. I will report all these to His Majesty Rushi!"

Tang Ning looked at him and said in surprise, "General Zhang Zuolang doesn't seem to be qualified to report to His Majesty, right?"

"You, just wait!" Zhang Chao's face turned liver-colored, and he waved his hand violently and left with his sleeves.

Tang Ning was telling the truth. Without a fourth-rank official position, he was generally not qualified to see the emperor. If Zhang Chao wanted to impeach him, he could only go through the Ministry of War first, and he had just informed the Ministry of War yesterday...

He looked at Xiao Jue and asked, "Are we bullying people too much?"

Using one's own connections and resources to attack dissidents and break the rules is generally the character setting of a villain.

"No." Xiao Jue said firmly: "Zhang Chao used his position to embezzle military pay and form a clique for personal gain. We are eliminating harm for the people. We are righteous..."
