In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 732 The Excited Personal Guard

Yang Zheng was completely stunned.

Throughout history, the presence of women in military camps has been a major taboo in the military!

The presence of women often affects the unity within the army and weakens its combat effectiveness.

Not to mention, Zhu Changhe brought prostitutes into the military camp.

As a general commanding 10 Qingzhou troops, Zhu Changhe disregarded even this major taboo in the military...

No wonder the imperial army is so weak.

When Yang Zheng defeated the imperial army, he captured many camp prostitutes in the military camp. According to those prostitutes, they were all brought into the camp by military officers who blatantly disregarded military discipline and brought prostitutes into the camp...

This shows just how bad the discipline of the imperial army was.

"It's normal."

Zheng Qing sighed softly: "The court today is no longer the court when Prime Minister Li was in power. If you want to get promoted, talent and morality are not important at all. Background and origin are the most important."

Zhu Changhe was able to become the commander-in-chief of the Qingzhou army not because he had the ability to lead troops, but because he had curried favor with the Prince of Qing.

The reason why the Green King helped him ascend to the throne was simple: because he was easy to control!

The Qingzhou Army is ostensibly the imperial army, but in reality, it has long been the private army of the Qing King. The Qing King is ambitious and has long coveted the throne, however…

At this point, Zheng Qing couldn't help but glance at Chen Dao. The ambitious Qing King probably never imagined that what would extinguish his ambition was not the imperial court, nor the various rebel armies, but this seemingly ordinary farm boy in front of him.

"In short, Commander Yang doesn't need to worry about the Qingzhou Army and Zhu Changhe. With the death of the Qing King, the Qingzhou Army is already demoralized. With the fighting strength of the Yang family army, defeating the Qingzhou Army is not a problem."

Zheng Qing concluded, "Compared to defeating the Qingzhou army, what Commander Yang really needs to consider is how to govern Qingzhou, how to win the hearts and minds of the people of Qingzhou, and gain their support..."

Next, Zheng Qing offered many suggestions for governing Qingzhou. Yang Zheng listened patiently and gained a deeper understanding of Zheng Qing's abilities.

It must be said that Zheng Qing, who was regarded as a disciple by Li Mingyuan, was extremely talented. His proposed governance policy gave Yang Zheng a refreshing feeling and also gave Yang Zheng some direction for governing Qingzhou.

"Thank you for your guidance, Prefect Zheng!"

Yang Zheng bowed to Zheng Qing and said, "With Prefect Zheng's advice, I have even more confidence in governing Qingzhou."

After listening to Zheng Qing, Xu Zhiwen and others' suggestions on governing Qingzhou inside the Chencun Building, Yang Zheng left the building with satisfaction and embarked on the journey back to Liangzhou with Yang Erlang and others.

"Yang Shuai".

After leaving Chenjia Village, one of the accompanying guards couldn't help but ask, "How did your talks with the people of Chenjia Village and those officials go?"

Upon hearing this, the other guards also turned to look at Yang Zheng, eager to hear his reply.

"The talks went very well!"

Yang Zheng didn't keep them in suspense and said with a smile, "From now on, Taicang County will be our territory."

"Great!"

The guards cheered. Now that Taicang County had become the territory of the Yang family army, the cooperation between Marshal Yang and Chenjia Village must have been successful!

"Yang Shuai!"

Another soldier pressed on, "What about the ice wheat from Chenjia Village? Will we be able to grow ice wheat in Liangzhou soon?"

"Not bad!"

Yang Zheng nodded with a smile: "Not only ice wheat, but Chenjia Village also has rich wheat with a yield of 2000 jin per mu. Next year, we can plant high-yield wheat seeds in Liangzhou. At that time, the people of Liangzhou will be able to eat their fill!"

The guards on horseback couldn't help but cheer.

"That's wonderful! From now on, the people of Liangzhou will never have to go hungry again."

"Yang Shuai is mighty! Chenjia Village is mighty!"

"Mr. Chen is such a kind person! He's willing to give us such high-yield grain seeds."

"..."

Seeing his personal guards so excited, Yang Zheng smiled and then announced some major news: "Not only will we get high-yield wheat seeds, but we'll also be able to sell chickens and ducks from Chenjia Village to us at low prices. Our brothers in the army will never lack meat again!"

"Really? Does that mean all our brothers in the army will be able to eat meat from now on?"

"Great! Now that the brothers in the army have meat to eat, they'll definitely be stronger."

"Absolutely! Eating meat every day will definitely build up lots of muscle!"

"Alas!"

"..."

The long official road was filled with the cheerful laughter of the guards.

They seemed to have already envisioned a bright future for Liangzhou.

The high-yield wheat seeds ensured that everyone in Liangzhou had enough to eat, and the low-priced chickens and ducks allowed the soldiers to enjoy delicious meat...

The cooperation with Chenjia Village will surely make Liangzhou a better place!

…………

…………

Three days later.

Inside the military camp of the Yang family army in Liangzhou Prefecture.

After a day of training, Wei Kui rubbed his sore arms and couldn't help but ask Zhang Xiaoniu beside him, "Xiaoniu, have you noticed that our training sessions have been going on for longer lately?"

Although the training time and intensity were high in the past, they were not high enough to make Wei Kui feel sore in his arms. Recently, the coach has gone crazy and the training intensity is much higher than before. Even Wei Kui, who is naturally strong, feels like he can't keep up.

Even Wei Kui, who was born with superhuman strength, couldn't withstand it, let alone Zhang Xiaoniu, who was thin and small. After a whole day of training, Zhang Xiaoniu's clothes were already soaked with sweat, and his bones felt like they were falling apart. If it weren't for his strong willpower, Zhang Xiaoniu would probably have collapsed on the training field long ago.

Even though he wasn't lying down, he was still in a daze and couldn't even hear what Wei Kui was saying.

"Little calf? Little calf? Why aren't you saying anything?"

It wasn't until Wei Kui called him several times that Zhang Xiaoniu finally heard him and turned his head to ask, "What's wrong?"

"Hey, have you noticed that our training time and intensity have increased significantly lately?"

"You don't know yet?"

Zhang Xiaoniu looked surprised.

Wei Kui was completely bewildered: "Should I know that?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoniu immediately realized that Wei Kui was genuinely unaware, so he explained, "It's all over the military camp. We're about to go on an expedition, which is why the instructors are training us like crazy."

"What? Going to war?"

Wei Kui was taken aback at first, then his eyes lit up: "Is it going to be a war? Where are we going to fight?"

For Wei Kui, who was eager to make a name for himself, there was no better news than news of war.

Fighting a war means you can earn merit on the battlefield, and merit will bring rewards, which will allow your family to live a good life...
