"Everyone!"

"Change your formation according to the banner I wave."

Ning Que waved the red flag in his hand.

Dafeng is quite fast.

The Yue people appeared to be sparse in number.

The movements are slow and lack energy.

Jie Jun watched them, his teeth itching with hatred. They were all soldiers, but Ning Que's men were full of energy and spirit. Their movements were coordinated and coordinated, as the command flags waved. And they were incredibly swift, each holding a different weapon as they sprinted to their positions. But the Yue people were far inferior...

It was normal for them to not understand the flag signals, and their slower running speed was understandable. But their movements looked awkward, lacking any fighting spirit. They looked like they hadn't eaten enough. Many of them stared blankly, and in the end, they even bumped into each other.

Ning Que watched calmly.

He had expected all of this.

He did this simply to see how bad these Yue people could be. He didn't rush, but lowered the red flag and slowly stepped forward, saying, "Everyone, listen!"

"exist!"

"Run around the martial arts arena ten times first!"

"promise!"

Bai Yu had no complaints.

Even when being held back by the Yue, they quickly changed formation and began running. As soldiers, their duty was naturally to obey orders. Moreover, they would be comrades-in-arms with the Yue in the future, sharing life and death. Since the Yue were being punished, they naturally couldn't just stand by and watch. Similar incidents had occurred many times, and each time, the veterans would guide the newcomers, a tradition of the Ning Wang Three Guards.

"Your Majesty?"

"Your men performed very well."

"Why run too?"

Jie Jun looked at Ning Que in confusion.

"The reason is simple. What's not yours is mine now. They are all South Vietnamese troops, and they are also my troops. There are 6,000 of them now. If these 5,000 are dead, do you think the remaining 1,000 can survive? Obviously not... Since they are in the army, they must follow the requirements of soldiers. In the future, they will be comrades who live and die together, honor and disgrace together!"

"good!"

Jie Jun nodded immediately.

With tears in my eyes, I was deeply moved.

Ning Que's actions showed that he truly treated everyone equally. He didn't belittle the Yue people, nor did he give them special treatment. Instead, he treated them all equally. Those who performed well were rewarded, and those who performed poorly were punished. This actually made the Yue people feel better!

"Everyone follow!"

"Mad, is rice free to eat?"

"Look at the others! They have to run because we're holding them back. All of you, shut up and watch carefully and learn. If you haven't learned it yet, I'll learn with you. But if anyone tries to cheat, I won't let him off!"

Seeing them running weakly, Jie Jun was embarrassed. He took off his leather armor and ran to the front, following behind the guards.

"Your Majesty?"

"You...why are you here too?"

"I am naturally responsible for your disgrace. Stop talking nonsense and catch up. We've only just started, and we're already a long way behind. We can't let King Ning look down on us Yue people!"

Jie Jun is also holding his breath now.

These Yue people were his carefully selected elite troops, many of whom had experienced many battles. They were usually famous in the tribe for their archery skills, but now they were being beaten by Ning Que's men.

After all, he is the king of South Vietnam.

Don’t always fall behind!

It's true, Jie Jun's move was truly ruthless. With him personally leading the charge, the Yue people were like chicken blood. They all ran as hard as they could, fearing they would be left behind.

"Tsk tsk tsk, that's not easy."

Hai Gui couldn't help but gasp at this scene, whispering, "Normally, these elite Yue people are well-fed and well-dressed, and they all think they're very powerful. They always look down on this and that. With your arrival, little brother, they've finally been convinced. However, training them to run might be a bit difficult. Look at them, many of them are barefoot, or wearing simple straw sandals. If they run ten laps, many of them might not be able to bear the strain on their soles."

"Well, I know my limits."

Ning Que nodded.

The Yue people had their reasons for dressing this way. They often went hunting in the mountains, which were humid and full of swamps and puddles. Others rowed boats to fish, which easily led to soaking in the river. Furthermore, the southern climate was hot and humid, and if their feet were blocked from air circulation, they would be susceptible to various illnesses.

Wang Ergou had examined him and discovered a large rotten patch on the sole of his foot. He needed to soak it in medicine every day, otherwise he wouldn't be able to withstand it. He wasn't the only one; many of the guards who had just arrived in Lingnan had suffered from it.

"Later, they were given leather boots and footwear, which they changed back into after daily training. At night, they were required to soak their feet in hot water mixed with medicated powder to prevent foot inflammation."

"become."

Haigui picked up a pen and wrote it down.

They were now also identifying problems and then solving them. Only through personal experience could one discover these things. During this time, he primarily accompanied Ning Que, acting as an interpreter while also recording key points. This was then passed on to others, each fulfilling their respective responsibilities.

"I've seen this training ground. One lap is about three miles. Ten laps is about thirty miles. Even if they're on a normal forced march, fifty miles a day is considered a minimum. I've seen these Yue people hunting, and they don't have any physical problems; they're just too lazy. I'm not making them run to punish them, but to inspire them. If they can't even persevere, don't expect them to accomplish anything in the future."

"Well, you have to do these."

Haigui smiled and nodded.

Although he and Haizai were Nanyue's imperial advisors, their primary responsibility over the years had been to repair and build ships and improve local productivity. They weren't particularly adept at leading troops in battle; after all, Bu Suanzi hated fighting the most, and he never taught them. Even when Bu Suanzi occasionally mentioned it, he cautioned them against leading troops and to avoid combat whenever possible.

Therefore, they don’t know how to train soldiers.

Now that Ning Que had arrived in South Vietnam, he could teach them proper military tactics. As long as they were trained, they wouldn't continue to be hunted and attacked by the Japanese pirates. With more baptism of war, they could become elite troops.

"They're just getting started." Ning Que said softly, his hands behind his back, "The training is quite strenuous, and they definitely need to make sure they have adequate food and drink. Brother Xiao Hai, the logistics will be up to you from now on. Also, notify Uncle Chang and have him prepare some more muscle-strengthening and blood-activating powder. Also, be on guard against foot inflammation, which is the most common condition in Lingnan."

"no problem."

Haigui took note of it carefully and whispered, "Well, then I'll leave first. Have someone bring the food over. I think they'll be here for quite a while."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Ning Que nodded.

It will take a while for them to finish running.

It's a good time to look around.

I will be eating and living nearby from now on.

I can't go to Panyu City every day.
