Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

With the death of the old emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the ascension of the new emperor, the previously agreed-upon marriage alliance has been temporarily slowed down.

But after the funeral, the Ming Dynasty sent people again to ask for the hand of the Li princess.

These matters were far away in the capital and had nothing to do with Yin Yin and her husband in Yangliao. After reading the news, they simply let it go in their minds.

Having received the King of Yangliao's instructions, Yinyin openly took charge of the affairs of Yangliao's fiefdom.

The internal affairs of Yangliao are not difficult to handle. As long as the Chu family is peaceful and stable, nothing major will happen in Yangliao. Therefore, Yinyin's first choice is the military affairs of Yangliao.

After arriving in Yangliao, Uncle Wen also considered reorganizing military affairs, but he really didn't have any talent for it. He tried to reform things by imitating others, which only caused people to complain.

Aside from the guards serving in the Prince's mansion, he couldn't really command anyone else.

Now that Yinyin wants to take charge, he thinks it's not right. After offering a few words of advice, Fu Yuanzhou still relinquishes the authority, so he keeps quiet. On the surface, he generously relinquishes authority, but in reality, he's watching coldly, waiting for Yinyin to hit a wall before stepping in to play the good guy.

If Yin Yin fails to succeed, even if he is still interested in military and political affairs, they will not be handed over to her. The power of Yang Liao will still be in his hands.

Uncle Wen felt that among all the people in Yangliao, only he, as the emperor's uncle, was truly devoted to the king's interests, so it was safest for him to hold these powers in his own hands.

Yinyin didn't know what he was thinking, but even if she did, she wouldn't care.

Uncle Wen is indeed somewhat talented, but his abilities aren't outstanding, and he's in poor health. Although his status as an elder makes things a bit difficult, wouldn't it be easy to get him to step down gracefully and voluntarily?

All sorts of chores, big and small, are dumped on him. He has to handle everything, and before he even has half a month to store anything, he'll fall ill.

If we do this a few more times after he recovers, whether he can handle it himself is another matter, but Fu Yuanzhou will definitely have to speak up.

Once he completely puts aside what he's doing and takes a break, it will be difficult for him to take it back.

So no matter what his ulterior motives were, Yin Yin didn't take him to heart.

Furthermore, although Yangliao is somewhat remote, it is not without talented people.

In the past, Uncle Wen had to handle everything in the Prince's mansion, both inside and outside the palace. Once Yin Yin had reorganized the military affairs, the political team for Yang Liao would have to be established.

Yinyin and Fu Yuanzhou went to the military camp in Yangliao. Because of Uncle Wen's policy, the quality of the people there was uneven. The good ones did not get better resources, while the bad ones could get the same things.

In this way, good and bad are all mixed up, making it impossible to distinguish between them, and even the ambition of outstanding people will be worn down.

Fu Yuanzhou had never studied how to lead troops before, but he had seen what a truly brave army looked like, so he naturally disliked their lukewarm attitude.

"Yangliao is close to the border, so why don't they have any backbone?"

“Who said that?” Yin Yin said, dissatisfied. “In the past, when there was a war, our Yangliao troops were known for their excellence. Many generals came here specifically to replenish our troops.”

"How could that be..." Fu Yuanzhou looked at the soldiers in front of him, finding it hard to reconcile the people in front of him with what Yin Yin had described.

Yin Yin sighed: "That's why I got involved in military affairs."

"Although the current policies are generous, there is no reward or punishment system, and the training program is outdated. Top students and those who just coast along are treated the same."

Yin Yin paused for a moment: "Although the Li Kingdom and the Ming Kingdom are on good terms, who can say for sure what will happen in the future? The soldiers of Yangliao can be a pack of wolves, but they cannot be turned into dogs that only know how to wag their tails and beg for food under long-term domestication."

Fu Yuanzhou agreed with her words. The ability to be prepared for danger in times of peace and maintain one's military strength is the reason why the Li Kingdom has been able to exist for so long.

"Yinyin, go for it, I will definitely support you."

“Of course you have to support me,” Yin Yin said, pulling his hand to her lower abdomen. “We can’t leave our children a prosperous Yangliao that can’t even protect itself, can we?”

Fu Yuanzhou stared blankly as he looked down: "Yinyin, we...we're going to have a baby?"

Yinyin raised her eyebrows.

Fu Yuanzhou was both surprised and worried. After a long while, he said anxiously, "Yinyin, can I be a good father?"

“Why not?” Yin Yin intertwined her fingers with his. “We’re both beginners. We can learn together and we’ll raise him even better than Jue Ge’er.”

Yinyin said she would accompany him, and then mentioned Chu Yun's chubby and adorable eldest son, Chu Jue. Fu Yuanzhou's anxiety lessened, and he nodded in agreement.

He then added, "Yinyin, I'll assign you a few more guards. You'll be in charge, and you can give orders to your subordinates. Just don't overwork yourself."

“What can our guards do if they come?” Yin Yin said with some disdain. “Since it’s a military matter, we should naturally choose people from the military. They’ll be more convinced of that.”

Fu Yuanzhou was worried: "My uncle said these people are unruly, be careful not to hurt you."

Yinyin glanced at them sideways: "They seem unruly?"

Fu Yuanzhou hesitated; it really didn't look like it at all.

Yinyin added, "Perhaps when Uncle Wen first came, they were all troublemakers, but now they're being raised like frogs in slowly boiling water. I'm worried they don't have enough guts, so I need to think of another way."

Fu Yuanzhou took her hand and said, "Let me come with you. They definitely won't dare to cause trouble if I'm here."

“Sure,” Yinyin agreed immediately, then added jokingly, “If you’re in a good mood, you can practice with them next time.”

Fu Yuanzhou said with some anticipation, "Then I'll go and experience it when the time comes."

The two stood side by side, hand in hand. Yin Yin gave the order: "Have them recommend twenty skilled fighters for a competition. I want to select the best among them to be squad leaders."

Although this isn't exactly a rank, it does mean you have real authority over people.

Yin Yin's instructions were quickly carried out, and after a brief commotion, the chosen people stood steadily in front of Yin Yin and the others.

Since it was supposed to be a martial arts competition, they didn't waste any time and started in several groups at once.

Standing on the high platform, Fu Yuanzhou felt that every match between the two people was so exciting that he couldn't take it all in.

In addition to observing their fighting skills, Yin Yin also judged whether they were quick-witted when making their moves.

Thus, she selected half of the twenty people.

"From today onwards, the camp will be temporarily divided into ten squads, with these ten people serving as squad leaders and the others as deputy squad leaders. Each squad will first complete the basic training that I have arranged for someone to teach them."

"I will give you three days. After three days, each team will come out individually to demonstrate and be ranked. The team that wins the championship will receive an honorary banner and additional rewards."

Some people's eyes lit up at Yin Yin's tricks, feeling that their chance had come, while others were dismissive and planned to slack off as before.

Yinyin observed their state but deliberately did not mention what the reward was.

When they are envious enough, they will have enough motivation to strive harder.

After all, they weren't born bears.
