Ah Niu is the top warrior of South Vietnam.
He had been knocked over by the wild boar, his thigh pierced by its tusks, but he hadn't shed a single tear. Now, watching Bai Yu Jiejun and the others supporting each other and running as hard as they could around the training ground, his defenses had finally broken.
He said nothing.
He just gritted his teeth and quickly ran into the team.
He helped one of his personal guards to his feet, and the two of them exchanged glances, each grinning broadly. They didn't speak the same language, and they had clashed just moments before. It was this personal guard who had given Ah Niu his black eye, but at that moment, they seemed to have forgotten all about it, supporting each other and continuing to run.
Seeing this scene, Ning Que smiled immediately.
Hai Gui shook his head helplessly, patting his chest and saying, "Good boy, at least this kid still has some humanity and didn't let me down. Junior brother, how can you be so sure he will run away? If he keeps being so stubborn, what are you going to do?"
"If he still refuses to admit his mistake, I will expel him from the team." Ning Que appeared very calm. "Since this is a joint army of two races, the most important thing is tacit cooperation. They are brothers on the battlefield, and they must abandon their past racial concepts. If they are dissatisfied and wary of each other, what kind of combat capability do you think such an army can have? Facing a powerful enemy, they will probably just become scattered and flee for their lives."
Ning Que talked freely.
Because Haigui and his men had never trained soldiers before.
I don’t know how difficult it is to train soldiers.
Commanding an army of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands isn't easy. Those capable of commanding large-scale operations are rare. This isn't Ning Que boasting, but rather the truth. Consider, for example, a normal school only has a few thousand students. Managing students isn't easy, let alone these arrogant and powerful generals.
These soldiers actually had some basic skills; at least their individual martial arts abilities were unquestionable. Therefore, Ning Que was now tempering their military spirit, making them understand the importance of tacit understanding. He wanted them to put aside their racial prejudices and follow orders from now on.
"They need to know what they are fighting for."
"We must let go of our old prejudices."
"An army without a soul is vulnerable."
"Well, it all depends on you."
Haigui smiled and gestured, "That old fellow Jiejun is really too insistent on going on the field himself. Look, this guy can hardly run anymore. I think the effect is almost over. Why don't you ask them to stop now?"
"Don't worry, let them run a little longer." Ning Que looked at the elderly, weak, women, and children behind him and said with a smile, "Have them prepare their meals first, and then send someone to notify Uncle Chang to prepare some medicine. We also need to prepare leather boots for them later, otherwise they won't be able to hold on to their normal training."
Ning Que raised his hand.
The flag officer behind him immediately waved the flag.
When Bai Yu saw the banner, he breathed a sigh of relief. His entire body felt as if it had fallen apart, and he collapsed to the ground helplessly. Ning Que clapped his hands, "Go get them some warm salt water and let them sip it."
"promise!"
Ning Que had made preparations early on.
Then I saw the elderly, the weak, women and children carrying buckets of water. The buckets contained boiled salt water, which had now cooled down and was suitable for drinking after exercise.
"Brother Hai, remember to tell everyone. If you drink water, it must be boiled water. You absolutely cannot drink raw water."
"Yeah, okay."
Haigui silently picked up the book and wrote it down.
Ning Que had mentioned this matter before.
South Vietnam has plenty of water, much of it flowing. However, parasites can easily infest water, and drinking too much can lead to various illnesses. Despite Ning Que's repeated warnings, some people still secretly drink the raw water. They simply seek the coolness, so Ning Que can only repeatedly warn them.
Bai Yu took the water scoop.
Following Ning Que's instructions, he sipped the water in small sips. After the warm salt water went down his throat, he felt a little better. He didn't even know how many laps he had run, but now he felt like his whole body was falling apart. He collapsed to the ground, completely devoid of appetite.
Jie Jun led his tribesmen to do the same thing. When it was A Niu's turn, he was still ashamed, lowering his head and not even daring to raise it. In the end, Jie Jun personally handed him the water scoop and whispered, "Just like Ning Que said, drink more in small sips."
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry..."
"It's all my fault!"
"It made you run so much more."
"Haha, as long as you finally come to your senses, that's all." Jie Jun waved his hand nonchalantly, smiling and soothingly saying, "Speaking of which, we should thank you. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to achieve this. I know Prince Ning has already told you a lot, but there are a few things in my heart that I want to share with you as well."
Jie Jun sat casually on the ground. His feet were so painful that he couldn't stand up. His feet were covered in blood and flesh, looking extremely terrifying.
"I hope you all remember this day, too."
"A lot of people were being carried on others' backs just now, right?"
"We are all one now. On the battlefield, we must support each other. If we continue to hold prejudices against each other, the end result will be collapse at the first touch. Without mutual trust, we will be forced to flee in despair when faced with a powerful enemy. Our Nanyue Kingdom has worked hard to achieve this today, and we have the full support of King Ning. Don't you want to follow me and achieve hegemony?"
"think!"
Everyone said in unison.
The kings of Nanyue in all dynasties hoped to unify Lingnan.
This is also their wish.
Turn the entire Lingnan into a whole.
This is a principle that everyone can understand.
If they were to become a whole, they could resolve the long-standing feuds. Lingnan's strength would surge, even enabling it to rival the King of Chu and the Shang Dynasty in the north.
"Just think about it."
Jie Jun smiled and nodded, continuing, "You are all descendants of the First Ancestor, and you should understand that Ning Que means no harm. He treats everyone equally, without discrimination. From now on, listen carefully to his drills. As he said, only by sweating more in peacetime can you bleed less in battle."
"yes!"
Aniu nodded in agreement.
He looked at Ning Que, who was calm and composed in the distance, and then walked towards him tremblingly, bowing respectfully to him.
"how?"
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry!"
"I was wrong!"
"Don't worry from now on. If you tell me to go east, I will definitely not go west."
"Yes." Ning Que smiled and nodded, saying softly, "I'm glad you understand. This way, their hardship won't be in vain. You all should rest well and eat first. I'll issue military orders later."
"yes!"
Aniu immediately raised his hand and left.
Ning Que smiled as he left. Actually, Ah Niu was a pretty good person, just a bit stubborn. But he was also very easy to use. As long as he was truly convinced, he would never cause trouble again. He was sincere and straightforward, saying whatever he had to say directly, never hiding anything.
This kind of person is easier to deal with than a hypocrite!
