Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

The task of finding the person was left to Xun Xiang to worry about, and Li Chengming was busy discussing the imperial examination with others. Li Yinyin went directly out of the city to see how Li Zhenzhen had progressed in her training over the past few days.

After entering the army, Li Yinyin didn't even need to look for her; she spotted her good friend who had just been taken down from the horizontal bar.

"What's wrong?" Li Yinyin asked as she approached.

“General,” Fu Xia, who was in charge of training Li Zhenzhen, said with a helpless expression, “Miss Li is very serious, but the results of her seriousness are always a little different from her ideal.”

This was said euphemistically, but it clearly conveyed the same meaning.

Li Zhenzhen tried her best, but she really couldn't keep up with Jinwuwei's pace.

"Yinyin, you're here," Li Zhenzhen said, lying on the ground without even getting up. "I think I can tell you with certainty that I'm afraid this good-for-nothing will really let you down."

"It seems that staying at home, eating, sleeping and playing is more suitable for me."

Li Yinyin did not answer immediately, but instead opened her training records.

After watching it, Li Yinyin had to admit that some things do depend on talent, and Li Zhenzhen did indeed lack a bit of talent in training.

After all, Li Zhenzhen was a few years older than her and rarely went out in the past. Even when she walked around the village, she couldn't go very far.

It's wishful thinking to expect Li Zhenzhen to achieve her previous level of success in a short period of time.

Li Yinyin pulled her cousin up from the ground: "So what are your plans now? Are you going to leave with me later, or continue training at Jinwu Guard?"

Li Zhenzhen hesitated for a long time this time.

She looked at the girls working hard in the distance and asked, "Yinyin, you once said that it's important for people to know their own limitations, and I think that makes a lot of sense."

"Over such a long period of time, I believe I have put in enough effort, but I have not achieved the results I wanted. Perhaps this means that I am not suitable for this place."

"But I think they are really good people, and I feel a little unwilling to leave them. Do you think there's anything I can do to help them?"

“Of course there are,” Li Yinyin said, her mind racing as she thought of several positions. “Even the most hardworking people have moments when they feel like giving up. They often want to confide in someone, but have no one to talk to. If you’re interested, you could try staying in the military as a listener and helping them solve their problems.”

"Or, you could also serve as a lecturer in the military, explaining the welfare policies of the military to them, telling them about the goodness of the Ming Dynasty, and strengthening their loyalty to the emperor, their love for the country and their people."

"I choose the second one," Li Zhenzhen said without hesitation as soon as she finished speaking.

Li Yinyin was a little surprised: "I thought you would choose the first one."

"The first one is certainly good, but he's not suitable for me. After all, I'm now a member of the royal family, and you're my best friend. When they come to me for heartfelt advice, is it really heartfelt advice, or are they trying to use me to do things they can't do themselves?"

Li Zhenzhen paused for a moment: "I believe that some people may really have difficulties, but if I can't handle it, won't the burden just fall on you? Although I like being with them, I don't want to add any burden to you because of it."

"As for the second one, isn't it just about telling them how great you and your cousin are? I can definitely come up with something like that without thinking. The key is that it can also help you, which makes me feel like I'm still somewhat useful."

Li Yinyin was touched: "Then it's settled. However, you will still need to undergo some training before you officially take office."

“No problem,” Li Zhenzhen said seriously. “I’m still capable of memorizing things by rote.”

Now that she had changed her future direction, Li Zhenzhen simply tidied herself up and temporarily left Jinwuwei with Li Yinyin.

She hadn't been home for several months, so this was a good opportunity to go home and talk to her parents.

Although Li Yinyin readily agreed to her request, she sat down next to Yu Qiaoyun before dinner that evening and began to worry.

"You don't seem too happy today," Yu Qiaoyun said, personally bringing her a cup of fresh tea before sitting down next to her. "Is something particularly troubling you?"

"Thank you, sister-in-law," Li Yinyin couldn't help but lean on her sister-in-law's shoulder like she did when she was a child. "I'm thinking about who would be more suitable to take over as the head of the Golden Crow Guard before Xiao Fu grows up."

“Why must someone else take over?” Yu Qiaoyun didn’t think it was a problem. “As long as your subordinates are capable enough, the Golden Crow Guard’s affairs won’t take you much time.”

Li Yinyin shook her head: "If it's just as a Golden Crow Guard, of course it won't take much time and effort. But sister-in-law, my expectation for it is a Golden Crow Army, a Golden Crow Army that can win battles on the battlefield."

"Right now, with fewer people and still near the capital, I'm fine as the commander-in-chief. But when we go to the battlefield, I'll still be in the capital, and I won't be able to remotely command them. So, the Golden Crow Army needs a new general."

Yu Qiaoyun understood her dilemma and asked, "Besides Xiao Fu, who else is on your shortlist?"

"Fu Xia is not bad. She is meticulous and cautious, but she is limited by her past perspective and lacks a good overall view. As a subordinate, she is very qualified. As a leader, she is not as good as Xiao Fu."

“As for others,” Li Yinyin sighed, “they are just like her, always with one shortcoming or another.”

After listening, Yu Qiaoyun said, "No one is perfect, and no one is without flaws. Yinyin, it's impossible for you to find a perfect person."

"As long as she is loyal and useful enough and can carry out your orders properly, so what if she lacks a strategic vision? Just have a think tank with her and tell her to listen to the strategists, isn't that enough?"

“What kind of general is that?” Li Yinyin rejected the idea. Even the most mascot-like commander should have his own opinions when it’s her turn to make decisions. What’s the use of a commander who listens to the think tank in everything?

This time, Yu Qiaoyun could only say, "If you really can't find a suitable candidate, you'll have to work harder and continue to fill in."

"In short, the Golden Crow Guard is still in a phase of rapid expansion and intensive training over the next year or two. You continue to hold this title and leave the tasks to Xiao Fu and the others. You should be able to train gradually."

Li Yinyin sighed: "Otherwise, I'll just ask the Ministry of War for people to teach the candidates I've chosen. Officer training should be arranged according to performance and ability. I refuse to believe that we can't find suitable talent!"
