"Use extraordinary means to do extraordinary things." - Excerpted from "Quotes from the Emperor of the Empire".

Just when everyone was a little confused, Wufeng had already begun to implement his second step plan. He was not satisfied with his current position at all. He needed to obtain a higher position in a short time to prepare for his next step, and the training could not be relaxed. Therefore, he boldly handed over the squadron training to Liang Chongxin and set himself up to plan the next step. The squadron leader's step was the brigade leader, but Wufeng did not consider the deputy position at all, and his goal was the brigade leader. He had just received an extraordinary promotion, and it was generally impossible to get promoted in the short term, let alone two levels in a row. Although the brigade leader's right to apply for approval is at the brigade level, the decision is at the division level. If you want to go to another level in the short term, you have to find a different approach.

The Third Division is stationed in the suburbs outside the north gate of the imperial capital. The division commander is a mediocre and old-fashioned middle-aged nobleman named Hawkel. He is said to be a relative of Vice Minister of Military Affairs Pike. He usually lives in the imperial capital. He only goes to the division headquarters every Monday to listen to reports from all levels and arranges work step by step. General affairs are handled by the deputy commander and chief of staff. This guy has a servant named Jiabu, who is stingy and greedy by nature and loves to take advantage of him. He is a villain who pretends to be powerful, but he is quite trusted by Hawkel. Everyone below hates him very much. After learning about these situations through various channels, Wufeng decided to call him from this.

Jia Bu's guy made an idea. He first figured out Jia Bu's daily routine through some idle people on the street of the Imperial Capital. He learned that this guy would go to a teahouse called Wangyuexuan in the eastern part of the Imperial Capital to have tea almost every afternoon. He heard that the scholars talked about it. So Wufeng also changed into plainclothes and went to this teahouse called Wangyuexuan for several days to drink tea and listen to it. After observation, Wufeng found that this guy was indeed very stingy. He drank the cheapest flower tea, but he had to sit in the middle of the teahouse where the storyteller came to give him money but never gave it to him. Fortunately, the guys here didn't care about him, so it was probably not surprising that he saw too many.

When Wufeng was drinking tea, he sat next to Jiabu intentionally or unintentionally, and commented on the storyteller's storyteller from time to time. The storyteller told the storyteller about teahouses and hotels in various parts of the empire. When the Tanghe Empire was founded, the six major families assisted the Situ family in gradually establishing the glorious history of the Tanghe Empire from a prince who dominated the eastern part of the Yaxi Empire more than 400 years ago. This is also one of the most common stories told by storytellers. Due to Wufeng's deliberate arrangement, the two often sat together to drink tea. In less than a month, they became familiar with Jiabu. Wufeng paid for the tea money for Jiabu from time to time, and sometimes gave Jiabu tips for Jiabu. Later, it developed to Wufeng to invite Jiabu to drink. After many times, Jiabu felt a little embarrassed and wanted to ask Wufeng back, but was rejected by Wufeng.

Jiabu is also a very obedient person. When he was drinking, he asked Wufeng intentionally or unintentionally if there was anything he needed to help. Wufeng felt that the time was almost ripe, so he told his plan without any concealment, hoping that Jiabu would help, and said that he would thank him again after success. After thinking about it repeatedly, Jiabu felt that this matter was not risky, but also had some income, and why not do it as a favorable person, so he agreed immediately.

Wu Feng's plan was to ask Jab to find a way to let the commander of the Hawkel Division go to the Fourth Regiment to inspect the work and watch the drills of some teams. Jab expressed his amazement at the drills of the squadron where Wu Feng was located at the right time, and then did a good job in Hawkel's ideological work, so that Hawkel would affirm Wu Feng's achievements and actively demand the promotion of Wu Feng. Generally speaking, the division commander named and asked to promote a team leader, and he should be approved without any problems. In this way, Wu Feng's plan will be successful. Whether this plan can be successful depends largely on Jab's influence on the commander of Hawkel Division. Jab said there was absolutely no problem, and it was also whether the squadron where Wu Feng was located performed outstandingly. The two made an appointment to prepare separately. Once Wu Feng was ready, they would immediately notify Jab, and Jab would do the work of the commander of the Hawkel Division to inspect the Fourth Regiment.

When Wufeng made an appointment with Jia Bu, Liang Chongxin led the three-month intensive training to the end. After Wufeng conducted a full inspection of the entire team, he found that the training results exceeded the expected purpose. He couldn't help but feel satisfied with his choice and was more confident in his plan. At the end of the training task completion, Wufeng commended those who performed well in the training based on Liang Chongxin's list of suggestions, and prepared to report to his superiors for promotion, and the training was a complete success. Wufeng also actively reported to the brigade and the gang, asking his superiors to come for inspection and acceptance. On the other hand, Wufeng also contacted Jia Bu in the city and asked him to start the action in the near future.

A week later, the Fourth Regiment of the Third Division received a notice that the division commander would go to the Fourth Regiment to inspect the work, which immediately attracted the high attention of the Fourth Regiment leaders, because the Hawkel Division commander rarely goes to the grassroots level. This time, the Fourth Regiment alone has to be taken seriously. To this end, the corps required the subordinate units to prepare for inspection.

Three days later, the commander of the Hawkell Division and other division leaders visited the Fourth Regiment as promised. During the inspection work, the commander of the Hawkell Division proposed to check the training of the recruits. Therefore, the Fifth Brigade where Wufeng was located conducted a report and exercise. During the exercise, the soldiers of the third squadron led by Wufeng were full of energy, high fighting spirit, well-trained, and were obviously superior to other squadrons, which won the praise of leaders at all levels on the scene. Even the commander of the Hawkell Division was very satisfied.

Jiabu took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire. Hawkel immediately asked Wufeng to report on the training situation. After Wufeng's praise at all levels above, everyone was very satisfied. After learning that Wufeng was from a gentry again, the commander of the Hawkel Division immediately stated that young and promising officers like Wufeng should be promoted to a more important position to serve as chief officers to strengthen the training of recruits. He asked the leaders of the Fourth Regiment to consider immediately and also affirmed the work of the Fourth Regiment.

The other leaders of the division also agreed with the proposal of the division commander, so the leadership team of the Fourth Regiment quickly made a decision to appoint Li Wufeng as the captain of the Fifth Brigade of the Fourth Regiment of the Third Division of the Empire City Guard Corps, and promoted the rank to the captain. The former captain of the Fifth Brigade was transferred to the Second Brigade as the captain, the former captain of the Second Brigade was transferred to the First Brigade as the captain, and the former captain of the First Brigade was promoted to the Director of the Regiment Logistics Department. He reported to the division for approval. The commander of the Hawkel Division and other division leaders immediately agreed.

With Wufeng's strong recommendation, Liang Chongxin's proposal to replace Wufeng as the captain of the third squadron was also approved. At noon, the Fourth Regiment hosted the division leader in Dengxian Pavilion, a very famous wine in the western area of ​​the imperial capital. Wufeng was also notified to attend. During the meal, Wufeng and the newly promoted headquarters of the logistics department of the corps frequently toasted the division and the corps leaders. The leaders also encouraged the two, and they ate and sang together, and the guests and hosts had their whole hearts. Before the banquet, Wufeng took advantage of the unnoticed people and stuffed a trophy bag containing 100 gold coins to Jiabu. Jiabu did not refuse and put it in understanding.

In just over two years, Wufeng jumped from an ordinary soldier to the captain of the brigade of nearly 1,000 people, and became the pride of the recruits. The recruits regarded Wufeng as their idol and admired him with great admiration. At the inauguration ceremony of Wufeng as the captain of the brigade of the 5th Brigade, Wufeng delivered an impromptu speech.

"Brothers, two years ago, I was just a recruit like most of you here. Through two years of hard work and opportunities, I was fortunate to become the captain of everyone. I am not much smarter than everyone, but I know to train hard and work hard. I think as long as you are like me, you will have more opportunities in the future. But what I want to say is that the current situation is serious, and we may go to the battlefield anytime and anywhere. Of course, there are more opportunities, and the risks will be greater. The enemy will not be because we are recruits or have insufficient training.

To us be kind, you will be baptized by blood and fire on the battlefield. Only by passing the test of life and death will you become real warriors. Remember this sentence: sweat more in daily life and less in war, and only by being stronger than the enemy will you have more opportunities. I hope that all squadrons will follow the third squadron, work harder in future training, and strive to catch up or surpass them as soon as possible. Brothers, don’t waste your time, use your own hands to create opportunities, and strive to realize the value of your life stage."

The words made the soldiers on the field excited and won the thunderous applause of nearly a thousand soldiers in the field, which lasted for a long time. Later historians once evaluated the first speech of the founding emperor of the Empire, believing that it was not very successful because the language was full of threats and temptations. However, he took himself as an example and made full use of the soldiers' ambition to successfully arouse the enthusiasm of the soldiers and lay a good foundation for future training.

The 689th year of the mainland Gregorian calendar was an uneasy year. Just when Wufeng led all the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Brigade to join the busy training, an unexpected incident disrupted Wufeng's training plan, allowing Wufeng, who was less than nineteen years old, to experience the cruelty of the war in advance and stimulated Wufeng's power hope even more.

As autumn enters, it should be a season of harvest. After a severe drought, locust plague occurred in Yanyun County, Beiyuan County and Heshuo County in the northern part of the empire. Many prefectures and counties were almost unrecovered. In order to raise funds to fight against the Luobei people on the northwest border next year, the tax burden on the northern part did not decrease. In addition, some local landlords and merchants hoarded grain, causing soaring grain prices, ordinary farmers to suffer, small-scale farmers resist rent and tax riots one after another, and the imperial authorities adopted high-pressure policies, and the situation was unstable.

There are several countries on the vast Liberia Plain north of the Tanghe Empire. Although their strength is not as strong as that of the Tanghe Empire, they cannot be underestimated. Their residents are different from the Tanghe Empire. They are mainly white people. Their ancestors migrated from the Western Continent hundreds of years ago, and then gradually intermarried with local residents, and finally formed the current situation.

These countries have similar ethnic groups, religions, history, customs and habits, good relations, and their national strengths are not much different. The Kaman Empire is the strongest, and the royal families of several kings have in-laws. These countries are distributed in the north and northeast of the Tanghe Empire. From west to east, the Sisro Empire, the Kaman Empire, and the Puer Kingdom, and the Dutun Kingdom is located in the northeast. Among them, the Dutun Kingdom has an average relationship with the empire, while the other three countries have been tense in recent decades, with armed conflicts in the border areas, and major wars have also occurred many times. The most recent one was seven years ago. There is a country between the Kaman Empire and the Puer Kingdom and the empire, that is, the Dutch of Delok, whose territory area and population are only equivalent to a medium-sized county of the empire, and it has a very close relationship with the empire.

Budley, the capital of the Kaman Empire. There is a grand building located in the middle of the wide Stanley Street. This is the famous imperial prime minister's mansion. In a secret room in the west corner of the prime minister's mansion, a short and chunky middle-aged man was sitting on the chair of the top leader, listening attentively to the report of a middle-aged man standing in the lower leader.

"At present, several small riots in the local area have been suppressed by the local security forces, but through our work and matching with the people in the local area, several people have joined forces to organize a major riot, but ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; ‧; �

The middle-aged man was a little reluctant to speak, and the short and fat man's eagle-like eyes fell on the middle-aged man. "But what, just say something."

"My subordinates think that even if they all unite, it may be difficult to succeed."

"Oh, tell me what you think."

"They are just some peasants and slaves who have some talents, but they have neither formal training nor lack weapons and supplies. Even if we provide information, they will eventually fail, just sooner or later."

"You don't need to consider this issue. You only need to arrange our people to do everything possible to provide them with intelligence information, but they are limited to providing intelligence information and are not allowed to participate. You must pay attention to the methods and methods. We must not expose our people. You must remember this. Report any situation in a timely manner."

"I remember, if there is nothing else, the villain will take his leave first."

"Okay, you can rest and pay attention to your health."

"Mr. Xie is concerned."
