"Brother Yi, this is what Great Grandpa asked me to give you.”
Wang Yi had just walked out of the dormitory when he saw a smiling Yiman. Yiman was like a deer as she skipped over and stuffed a piece of paper into Wang Yi's hand.
Wang Yi scratched his head in confusion. He opened the paper and was shocked. It was a letter of appointment.
"Wang Yi has been appointed as the captain of the 4th Security Brigade in Qianyang County. He has been conferred the rank of Lieutenant. This letter of appointment is effective from today.”
"Xue Yue!"
Wang Yi felt his blood rush to his brain. Xue Yue's name was like thunder in his ears. He was the commander of the Changsha defense battle. This Old Master Zhang was really well-connected. He actually managed to get his appointment letter.
With the letter of appointment, Wang Yi no longer had to hide in the ravines. He could develop and build openly. Although it was just the name of a security team, the local army and miscellaneous troops were not in the central army's ranks. They had to find their own way of food and clothing. Therefore, Wang Yi was just borrowing the name. As for how many people he could develop, it was not up to him.

In Huaihua City, the governor's office, which was also the 74th mixed regiment, the atmosphere in Qian Baichuan's command post was unusually depressing.
Qian Baichuan's face was gloomy as he stared at the few people who were tied up like dumplings on the ground. Their lower bodies were naked, and all of them were wrapped in a piece of cloth. They were Okayama Hiroichi and the other Japanese spies. Hu Sanpao, who was at the side, had been beaten into a pulp. He was lying on the ground, breathing heavily. It looked like he was going to die.
"Traveler, this matter needs to be considered carefully. The Zhang Clan is a prestigious clan in Qianyang County, and their ancestors were once high officials of the imperial court. They have some influence in Xiangnan. Although they have gradually declined in recent years, they have deep roots.”
A middle-aged soldier beside Qian Baichuan said indifferently, not even looking at Hu Sanpao who was lying on the ground like a dead pig. This person was the Chief of Staff of the 74th Mixed Brigade, Du Yunze, also known as Qifeng.
"Qifeng, it's not that I don't want to do it, but I just can't take it lying down. Zhang Mingwei died just like that, and his company was disarmed. Now, the warrant has been issued, and he wants me to give up Zhongfang County and let the Fourth Security Brigade guard it. This is f * cking too much. Even if the 99th Division is Old Jiang's direct line of descent, they wouldn't bully people like this!”
Du Yunze smiled and continued,""Traveler, you are wrong. This child is not ignorant of the ways of the world…"
"Qifeng, what do you mean?"
Du Yunze pointed at Okayama Hiro and said,"" Isn't this a big gift from this kid? As for Zhongfang County, you don't have to worry about it. Wang Mazi isn't easy to deal with. Zhang Mingwei is only safe because he is Wang Mazi's brother. If it was someone else, hehe..."
Qian Baichuan pondered for a moment before he suddenly came to a realization. He then burst into laughter." Qifeng, you're the one who woke me up!”

" Brother Yi, what's over there? What's over there…"
On the road of the military academy, Maureen was as happy as a bird, chirping non-stop in Wang Yi's ear.
Under Zhang Yiman's incessant pleading, Wang Yi had no choice but to agree to her request and bring her around the military academy. In the end, Wang Yi really felt like his intestines were turning green with regret.
" That's the political training department, that's the shooting range... That's the hospital..." Wang Yi patiently introduced them one by one.
At this moment, the cadets were about to graduate. Some of them had already received orders and quietly left the military academy. The usually lively field was now a little desolate.
Suddenly, a beautiful figure appeared from the shade of a tree on the side of the field. Her handsome face was filled with worry.
"Yu Manli!"
Wang Yi recognized her at a glance. The person he was most afraid of seeing now was Yu Manli. Every time they met, Yu Manli's fiery eyes almost burned Wang Yi into ashes.
"Yiman, let's go that way. This is a dead end.”
Wang Yi gently grabbed Zhang Yiman's arm and prepared to dodge Yu Manli.
"Call me Manman or Xiaoman. My brother calls me that.”Yiman said excitedly.
"Stop right there, you scum! You're seducing girls again!”
Just as Wang Yi turned around, Yu Manli's voice came from behind him.
Wang Yi suddenly felt a headache coming on. He turned to look at Yu Manli, wanting to explain, but he didn't know what to say.
"Brother Yi, who is this person? Is he your comrade? What did he say to you just now?”Maureen was puzzled.
"Humph!"
Yu Manli snorted coldly. She took three steps forward and walked in front of Wang Yi. She slapped away his hand that was holding Zhang Yiman's hand and said earnestly,"Younger sister, you are still young, don't be deceived by this person. He is a bad person, don't let him take advantage of you.”
Zhang Yiman was confused by Yu Manli's words. She looked at Wang Yi and then at Yu Manli, not understanding what was going on.
Yu Manli was furious and said sternly,"If you have any bad ideas, come at me. Don't lie to an ignorant girl.”
Wang Yi was about to explain when Maureen finally understood. Her expression changed and she said,"I won't allow you to say that about Brother Yi. Brother Yi is the most loyal soldier I've ever seen. He's also a good man who cares about the country and the people.”
Yiman did not know why she praised Wang Yi so much. After saying this, she felt her face burn.
"You, you're really unreasonable, treating your good intentions as ill intentions. When you're cheated by him, don't blame me for not reminding you today!”
Yu Manli had been invited by Wang Tianfeng for a chat today. After she found out that her life and death partner was Ming Tai, she felt very upset. Later, when she saw Wang Yi, she was even angrier. She wanted to expose this ugly face of a bird in clothes, but she did not expect to be choked back by the beautiful girl beside him.
Yu Manli's pretty face puffed up with anger as she strode forward. Before she left, she did not forget to glare at Wang Yi.
This was the first time Zhang Yiman had praised someone like this. Other than her second brother, her cheeks were as red as an apple. She lowered her head and stole a glance at Wang Yi before quickly retracting her gaze. It was as if she was holding a little rabbit in her arms as she jumped around.
Wang Yi scratched his head fiercely. He wanted to explain to Yu Manli in person, but now was definitely not the time. Looking at Yu Manli's back, Wang Yi sighed softly and actually ignored Yiman.

"Hurry up, Old Sun. Put some strength into it. This barrack is built for our soldiers. It's not like those bad bastards from the original Fourth Security Brigade. If you dare to steal work and reduce labor, be careful that I'll teach you a lesson!”
"Just wait and see, Manager Zhang. I, Old Sun, am not bragging about my 30 years of mason skills. The house I build will definitely be warm in winter and cool in summer.”
Wang Yi received the letter of appointment and came to Zhongfang County the next day. Since the 74th Mixed Brigade had already withdrawn from Zhongfang County, he did not plan to wait. He went to find Old Master Zhang first. Who knew that Old Master Zhang had already made the decision to contact a few gentry families in Zhongfang County and spent money and effort to build barracks. Moreover, each family had also come forward to select young and strong children from their families to send to Wang Yi for military training.
Looking at the field that had just been rammed with earth and hundreds of young people standing in a mess, Wang Yi was both happy and afraid.
Wang Yi knew very well that if he wanted to fight the Japanese, it was definitely not enough to rely on the clone soldiers. The commander's level was too low now, and he could only produce 500 people. Even if his level increased in the future, it would not be much more. Facing hundreds of thousands of Japanese invaders, it was simply a drop in the bucket. The only way was to raise an army with clones as the backbone.
However, people would die in war, especially when fighting against the Japanese army. They lacked training and had outdated equipment. The casualty rate was several times that of the Japanese army. Seeing that these young men were likely to die in Changsha, Wang Yi's heart clenched.
" Announce an alternative mission and obtain the worship of the recruits. Reward: 100 points."
This was the first time that Wang Yi had received an alternative quest, and he could not help but feel delighted.
"Attention! Your clan leader handed you over to me. If anyone can't stand the hardship and fatigue, you can withdraw now. However, if you stay, I will treat you equally. If anyone wants to run away in the future, I will punish them according to military law!”
Wang Yi stood with his hands behind his back in front of the 100-odd young men. His expression was firm and his words were clear.
Most of these people were farmers from Qianyang County and Zhongfang County. Usually, they did not care about fighting and causing trouble in the village. They were not afraid of anyone. Today, they were gathered by the clan leader. When they saw that the officer who trained them was actually a young man who was not much older than them, they were all somewhat unconvinced.
"Sir, we are all good at fighting in the fields. We like to fight when we are idle. As long as we have guns, let alone bandits, even the Japanese are nothing to us.”
"Feng Erniu is right. As long as we have a gun, we won't be afraid of the Japanese. We'll make sure they never return!”
"Right, fire, fire…"
"Fire, fire, fire…"
The crowd immediately clamored and shouted for them to fire.
The people who were working nearby heard the shouts and looked over.
"Although this military officer is handsome, he might not be able to suppress them. These young men who are not afraid of anything, I'm afraid Old Master Zhang has misjudged them this time.”
"That's right. How old are these children? To be able to control these 100 little rascals, I think it's better to let Manager Zhang train them.”
Steward Zhang was the old man who had driven Zhang Fuyi's carriage a few days ago. When he heard everyone's discussion, his expression changed. He seemed to have thought of something and remained silent. He continued to work. He had witnessed Wang Yi's methods with his own eyes. He thought that those silly kids would suffer later.
"Hehe…I'm going to give you a gun, and you're going to wear it!”Wang Yi sneered.
"What did you say? What's so great about you? Aren't you just a cadet from a military academy? Let me tell you, I, Feng Erniu, can't go to a military academy. If I go, my official rank will definitely be higher than yours!”
The young man who had led the group earlier was tall and muscular. His muscular body glistened under the sunlight.
