The Song Dynasty on the Sand Table

Chapter 12: Famous Generals in Military Training
As soon as these words were spoken, Madam Gong Er and Qian Zhuoqun looked at each other again, and both saw embarrassment in each other's eyes.

Especially Qian Zhuoqun, he was the only one in the rebel army who could write and count, and his vision and knowledge were many times higher than those of ordinary soldiers. He had the same idea as Yue Wenxuan just said, but he didn't say it out loud because it wouldn't solve the problem.

Being stabbed so mercilessly by Yue Wenxuan at this moment, Qian Zhuoqun had no choice but to take a step forward. Although he didn't know whether the person in front of him was real or fake, he still called out, "Master, we actually have long planned to rectify military regulations, but... but..."

Yue Wenxuan: "Oh? You don't know how to train soldiers?"

Qian Zhuoqun nodded awkwardly: "It's not that I don't want to, but I really can't."

Yue Wenxuan nodded and thought to himself: This makes sense. Not only do they not know how to train soldiers, even I don’t know how to do it. This is not something that anyone can do.

But, I can’t do it, but maybe my plastic man can!
After a few days of exploration, Yue Wenxuan has come to a preliminary understanding that the plastic people all have "settings". For example, Guan Erye has the settings in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". He rides the Red Hare at a very fast speed, and uses the Green Dragon Crescent Blade to chop melons and vegetables with extraordinary bravery. He also mutters factory lines such as "We swear brotherhood in Peach Garden, swear to live and die together, and go through national crisis together". He can execute his own orders within the scope of his set capabilities.

What would happen if we found a plastic man who was “good at training soldiers” and ordered him to train the rebel army?

Try it if you think of it!
Just give it a try and you’ll know if it works.

Yue Wenxuan realized everything and returned to the sandbox. He quickly typed on his computer: "Which great generals in history were good at training troops?"

Baidu immediately gave the answer: "The five most famous generals in Chinese history are Sun Wu, Wu Qi, Gao Shun, Yue Fei, and Qi Jiguang."

Yue Wenxuan thought: I don't know who selected these five famous generals. They are too subjective and can only be used as a reference, not a standard answer. However, it is still okay to use as a reference.

The first three are too old and may not keep up with the times. They have never seen many Song Dynasty weapons, so the soldiers trained in this way are likely to be crooked.

Then it’s Yue Fei!
When it comes to dealing with the Jin Dynasty, Yue Fei is the perfect [professional match].

Yue Wenxuan grabbed a Yue Fei figurine from the cabinet and placed it on the sand table.

The base immediately lit up red, and a row of red words popped out: "Two special characters cannot exist at the same time..."

"what?"

Yue Wenxuan thought about it for 0.32 seconds and understood.

Yue Fei was a person who existed in this era. At this time, he should have just had an argument with another famous anti-Jin general Wang Yan, and left the main army, leading an isolated army to fight guerrilla warfare in the Taihang Mountains.

The sandbox actually has such limitations.

If you think about it carefully, it is understandable. If there are no restrictions, putting a Jin Wushu figurine in and letting him fight himself would be too ridiculous.

Since Yue Fei is not available, the only option left is Qi Jiguang.

It just so happened that he had bought a Qi Jiguang action figure, a very handsome one, which could come in handy now.

At this time, a large group of people were still staring at Yue Wenxuan, waiting for him to speak. After Qian Zhuoqun said, "It's not that I don't want to, but I really can't," he saw that Master Wenxuan looked thoughtful and there was no movement for a long time.

The tall and thin man couldn't help but whispered, "Why isn't the True Lord moving?"

Qian Zhuoqun: "Silly boy, keep quiet. The Master is thinking about how to train his troops. Don't interrupt him by talking."

As soon as the two of them said this, Yue Wenxuan moved.

His brows relaxed slightly, and he smiled and said to Madam Gong Er and Qian Zhuoqun, "Since you don't know how to train the troops, I will ask a celestial being to help you train them."

"Heaven general?"

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.

Madam Gong Er asked cautiously, "Is the Heavenly General... the same Heavenly General as the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals?" Yue Wenxuan raised a hand and gestured towards the sky, "Heavenly General, come!"

The sky above his head suddenly became cloudy, and then a mighty general wearing precious armor, holding a spear in his hand and a sword on his waist fell from the sky and stood beside Yue Wenxuan with a thud.

"Wow!"

Everyone was in an uproar. Only then did they realize that the scholar in front of them was not an imposter but a real god. Many people prostrated themselves on the ground and bowed down.

Yue Wenxuan pointed at the general and smiled, "His name is Qi Jiguang. You can call him General Qi. He's the best at training soldiers among all the generals. If you truly want to fight the Jin army, kill the bandits, and drive out the barbarians, you must listen to him and train diligently every day according to his requirements. Let me be frank, he is very strict. If you don't have a certain level of awareness, you'd better quit as soon as possible, so that you don't become unable to endure the hardships of training and end up crying like a weakling in the corner of the barracks every day. Or else, if you violate major military regulations, he will chop off your head."

This is a harsh statement, who would be willing to consider themselves a wimp?
The tall and thin man was the first to speak loudly: "I am not a softie. As long as I can drive away the Jin thieves, I am not afraid of death. Why should I be afraid of the hardship of training?"

Several more rebel soldiers nearby shouted, "I'm not afraid of death!"

Madam Gong Er was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward, bowing deeply: "With the help of the generals from heaven, there is no need to worry about the morale of the army."

Qian Zhuoqun also bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, General Qi."

Since everyone agreed, Yue Wenxuan didn't say any more nonsense and silently ordered to the Qi Jiguang figurine: "Train these soldiers and transform them from a mob into an elite force."

As soon as the order was given, the figures, originally in their factory POSI, began to stir. Qi Jiguang's eyes instantly lit up, his deep gaze sweeping over the motley crowd of rebel soldiers. He then spoke slowly, his voice rich and powerful, commanding even without anger, in a surprisingly Shandong accent: "Since you have joined my Qi Family Army, you must first learn to abide by military regulations. I, the governor, will make this clear up front: my Qi Family Army has extremely strict regulations. Those who violate them will be severely punished by being beaten with dozens of military sticks at the very least, or by immediate execution at the worst."

When the rebel soldiers heard this general speaking with a Shandong accent, they found it so familiar.

It must be that fellow Shandong native ascended to the immortal world and became a celestial general.

The tall and thin man was the first to shout, "I will abide by the military regulations."

The other soldiers were not to be outdone and shouted, "If we violate military regulations, General Qi will punish us according to military law. If I frown, I am not a Shandong hero."

Qi Jiguang: "Alright! Since everyone accepts the punishment, then those who have performed meritorious service will also be rewarded handsomely. This governor has made it clear that those who bravely kill the enemy and perform military exploits will be rewarded handsomely. For every enemy soldier's head cut off, this governor will give out 30 taels of silver to be distributed to the meritorious team as a reward."

30 taels! The soldiers were delighted.

Madam Gong Er was embarrassed, thinking, "30 taels per enemy soldier. If I kill 100 of them, I'll have to pay 3000 taels of silver! How much money is that? The generals are only helping me train the troops, and they won't be managing the money. I'll definitely be the one commanding them in battle, and I'll also be the one paying the rewards. But I don't have any money at all."

She had no choice but to look at Yue Wenxuan for help.

Yue Wenxuan was also slightly taken aback. "Oh no! This figure is just reciting the setting, and the bounty announced has absolutely no reference to current reality. He's simply copied the bounty Qi Jiguang offered to the Qi Family Army in history. And he's even announcing it in front of so many people."

If I don't support Madam Gong Er, there will be no way to train the troops.

Do I really need so much silver to give out rewards? Where can I get the silver?
Yue Wenxuan switched to his original form in seconds, opened Taobao in seconds, and searched in seconds. It was amazing to find out that Taobao actually sold "ingots", and both gold and silver ingots, made of plastic, which were funeral supplies.

The price is not expensive, only a dozen yuan for a big pack, which is much cheaper than those exquisite figures.

Phew, I breathed a sigh of relief.

After placing the order, I felt confident. "Let alone 30 taels for killing an enemy soldier, even if it's 100 taels, I can pay it. It's not a small price to pay. Go ahead and kill them, and see if I'm afraid."

Yue Wenxuan put on a calm and composed auntie smile towards Madam Gong Er and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I will help you with this money."

Madam Gong Er was overjoyed: "Thank you, Master."
