Seeing how quickly the Crown Prince adapted to life here and integrated into the community, becoming one of the ordinary soldiers,
General Hedge kept his merits and fame hidden.
He was once a subordinate of Prince An and received favors from Prince An. At the same time, he is now a general whom the Emperor relies on very much. His position here is equivalent to one of the Emperor's two wings.
He was tall, nearly nine feet, with a dark face. If it weren't for the fact that his features were so different from others, and that he had undergone background checks when he was selected to join the army, he would have been easily suspected of being Prince An's adopted son.
Despite his rugged appearance, he is actually quite shrewd; otherwise, the emperor wouldn't have arranged for his son to be sent to him.
Emperor Kangxi relied on so many ministers, but the only ones he could entrust the crown prince to were those whom he trusted greatly, considered very reliable, and who could contribute to this matter!
These guys were trained to be the sharpest blades in the team, the hardest and most effective daggers to pierce the enemy's chest. Of course, they were the best of the best, personally selected by him, and then trained for many years.
They were all incredibly proud and arrogant, secretly competing with each other, none willing to concede to the others. If the Crown Prince were to be brought in, they probably wouldn't dare offend him openly, but how many of them would truly be convinced was a real unknown!
But that's exactly the kind of reaction General Hedge wanted.
To put it bluntly, he was using the prince as a tool, treating him like the catfish in a bowl of tuna.
When the Crown Prince was first arranged to come, General Heqi had heard of his reputation beforehand, and thought he was a fine young man, an outstanding prince who had inherited the Emperor's excellent bloodline.
Otherwise, the emperor wouldn't be so satisfied with this crown prince. As the emperor's "fanboy," General Heqi naturally took the emperor's words to heart!
However, General Hedge still didn't trust her to gain a foothold in the army. After all, she was a pampered young lady from the palace. How could she be compared to these rough men who had been through thick and thin? It wasn't that they weren't good, but perhaps their strengths lay in different areas!
So after receiving this task, he felt it was a hot potato, but he couldn't get rid of it, and finally made up his mind.
If the Crown Prince truly cannot adapt to life here, is determined to leave, or throws a tantrum and demands special treatment… then I'll definitely have to find a different way to deal with him. However, given that he is the future grandson-in-law of the old prince and the Crown Prince of the Qing Dynasty, I certainly can't mistreat him. But to say I'll treat him with genuine sincerity is out of the question.
Even if the crown prince is slow-witted, this group of people is the least afraid of him in the entire army, so it's just right!
But if the Crown Prince is truly a prodigy and performs well in the army, then let those kids see that there are always people better than you, and that there's always something beyond your reach. Let's curb their arrogance and stop them from looking up at each other and thinking they're the best!
It remains to be seen whether we can outmaneuver these people in leading troops or in other aspects, but we are already on the same side!
