Transmigrating into a Turbulent Era as a Soldier, Starting with Marrying a Wife

Immediately, the cracking sound of military batons striking flesh echoed in the courtyard.

It was interspersed with Wei Lun's painful groans.

Before Lin Wanshan could catch his breath,

the voice of the Left Commandant rang out again.

“Gou Youcai, clerk of Dongxiang Village, colluded with Wei Lun to seize private property of military households.”

“Now that Wei Lun has been brought to justice, this clerk Gou…”

“Defender Lin, what do you think should be done with him?”

Gou Youcai was naturally the trembling clerk hiding in the crowd.

The whole incident actually started because Clerk Gou became greedy for Li Yuan's distillery.

That's why he colluded with Wei Lun to forcibly seize the distillery.

This guy can be said to be the main culprit.

However, the Left Commandant really didn't bother to deal with small fries like Clerk Gou.

So he directly handed him over to Lin Wanshan for disposal.

At this time, Lin Wanshan looked at the wretched face of Clerk Gou, his heart filled with hatred.

If it weren't for your instigation, why would I have been scolded by my superior?

Lin Wanshan waved his hand at his personal guards.

“This man stirs up trouble and incites others to evil, his crime is unforgivable.”

“Remove him from his position as clerk, give him a hundred strokes of the military baton, and drive him out of the military fortress!”

“Yes!”

Immediately, two fierce-looking personal guards rushed up.

They dragged the screaming Clerk Gou out of the crowd and immediately carried out the military baton punishment.

The personal guards weren't stupid either. Seeing Lin Wanshan's face full of hatred, they knew they had to vent their superior's anger.

So they didn't hold back when administering the military baton, putting in a lot of effort.

The screams of the two villains echoed in the courtyard.

Watching the two evildoers being beaten half to death by the military batons,

Zhang Kui's mood finally improved a bit.

He glanced at Lin Wanshan, who was standing aside with his head bowed, and said slowly.

“Old Lin, you must keep a close watch on your subordinates on weekdays.”

“This time, I saw it.”

“If it had been seen by Governor-General…”

“No one could save you.”

Lin Wanshan could only nod and bow repeatedly.

“Now that Wei Lun has been dismissed, doesn't that leave a vacant captain position in your Xihe Fortress?”

Lin Wanshan immediately understood.

“Everything will be arranged according to the Left Commandant's instructions.”

Zhang Kui nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he raised his hand and pointed to Li Yuan, who was standing aside, and said.

“Li Yuan, squad leader of the military households in Dongxiang Village, has rendered meritorious service in exterminating the bandit leader Fu Caoshe, and is worthy of great use.”

“You can recommend him as the captain of the military fortress.”

“Ah?”

Not only was Lin Wanshan stunned for a moment,

but even Li Yuan, who was standing aside, was also full of surprise.

Wasn't this Left Commandant going to recommend him as a team leader?

How could it turn into a military fortress captain in the blink of an eye?

You must know that going from squad leader to military fortress captain is a jump of seven levels.

Such a rapid promotion was something he didn't even dare to imagine.

Lin Wanshan on the other side was also stunned, his expression somewhat tangled and embarrassed.

According to the regulations of the military fortress, directly promoting a squad leader to a team leader or even a centurion is not difficult, because they all serve in the same village.

Moreover, many military households have died in battle recently, so there are many vacancies in the lower-level military positions of these military households.

It is very convenient to appoint them.

But directly promoting a military household squad leader to a military fortress captain is a bit difficult.

Within the military household system, the captain is not an ordinary military household, but a grassroots military officer with great power.

He is usually responsible for supervising production, training soldiers, and protecting the people.

In wartime, he can command a team of more than a hundred people to fight.

Because of this, the promotion of captains must go through a very strict process.

The military fortress recommends suitable candidates, and then the Governor-General's office reviews and appoints them.

Seeing Lin Wanshan's somewhat embarrassed expression, Zhang Kui patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

“Old Lin, you don't need to think too much, just recommend him.”

“I'll take care of the rest.”

Lin Wanshan suddenly understood, Oh right, why am I making things difficult?

The Left Commandant, who is in charge of personnel appointments and removals, will handle it.

What does a small military fortress captain amount to?

Moreover, today's incident clearly means that I am also responsible for failing to supervise my subordinates properly.

If the Left Commandant really wants to investigate, I won't have a good time.

Therefore, I should just do what the Left Commandant says.

Lin Wanshan immediately bowed and accepted the order.

“Everything will be arranged according to the Left Commandant's instructions.”

Zhang Kui nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing that the matter here had been dealt with almost completely,

he turned his head and said to Li Yuan.

“Brother Li, this matter is over.”

“I won't stay any longer.”

“When you're done with things here,”

“come to my mansion for a gathering.”

In fact, Zhang Kui's meaning was:

You see, I've helped you so much, you have to give me more of this [Worry-Free Brew] next time.

Li Yuan, who was still in a daze, immediately reacted and quickly cupped his hands and said to Zhang Kui.

“I will definitely satisfy the Left Commandant.”

Zhang Kui nodded again, mounted his horse, and left Dongxiang Village.

Seeing the Left Commandant leave,

the atmosphere on the scene became strange again.

Li Yuan looked at Lin Wanshan, the garrison commander of the military fortress.

Lin Wanshan also looked at Li Yuan.

Both of them had a very dazed and helpless expression.

However, Li Yuan reacted very quickly.

He immediately bowed to Lin Wanshan.

“Subordinate Li Yuan pays his respects to Defender Lin.”

The garrison commander of the military fortress can also be called the Defender Officer within the military household system.

Lin Wanshan on the other side also reacted.

He quickly raised his hand to help him up and said softly.

“Captain Li is young and promising and is valued by the Left Commandant.”

“It's really enviable.”

Li Yuan knew that this Defender Lin wanted to probe the relationship between him and the Left Commandant.

However, Li Yuan did not answer directly, but said.

“Your subordinate will follow Defender's lead.”

“Your subordinate will definitely obey Defender's orders.”

Lin Wanshan nodded slightly.

He thought to himself, this kid is quite sensible and doesn't seem too arrogant because of his relationship with the Left Commandant.

He doesn't even ignore his superior, so he seems like someone I can get along with.

He said to Li Yuan again.

“There are still important matters in my fortress, so I'll go back first.”

“You can handle things here yourself.”

“When your official appointment comes down, go to Xihe Fortress to take office.”

Li Yuan immediately bowed.

“Your subordinate obeys.”

Lin Wanshan left with a group of captains with different expressions.

Before leaving, these captains looked at Li Yuan with strange eyes.

It's no wonder, no one has ever seen a squad leader directly promoted to captain.

Li Yuan didn't care about these things.

There were still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with in Dongxiang Village.

He had just sent Lin Wanshan and his party away.

The old village chief and Xue Centurion immediately ran over with fawning expressions.

Each bowed to Li Yuan.

“Greetings, Captain.”

Li Yuan immediately helped them up.

“Both of you, don't do that.”

“I've been in Dongxiang Village for several days, and I've received a lot of care from you two.”

“You two don't need to be so polite.”

Seeing that Li Yuan was still gentle with them,

both of them were relieved.

After all, Li Yuan was not at home, and his distillery was forcibly occupied.

The village chief and the centurion were somewhat guilty.

Seeing that Li Yuan didn't intend to pursue the matter, the two of them were relieved.

The old village chief said.

“I saw that it was dangerous here just now, so I asked Mr. Li's two wives and maidservant to take refuge in my house.”

Li Yuan was stunned. He said to the village chief with great gratitude.

“Thank you for your help, Village Chief.”

No wonder he didn't see the Chu sisters and Xia Xia here.

Presumably, they were afraid that Wei Lun would know that they were Li Yuan's family members and take them hostage to force him to reveal the distillery recipe.

Li Yuan thought that this was the right thing to do.

At this time, Xue Centurion also walked over and bowed.

“Mr. Li will definitely need some manpower recently.”

“Our Dongxiang Village currently has a total of 85 registered military households.”

“If Mr. Li needs them, he can dispatch them at will.”

This was to show loyalty to Li Yuan.

In fact, Xue Centurion still couldn't believe it.

A small military household who had just arrived for less than a month had suddenly become the captain of the military fortress.

And he had instantly become a subordinate.
