First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 256: The 1st Black Tiger Army Martial Arts Competition

"This is a good idea." Wei Ling nodded.

Qian Feng and his men are all fighters who have fought on the battlefield with real swords and guns. It is not easy to defeat them. If you can really defeat Qian Feng and his men, you are definitely a talent.

If you can't win, but your performance is very good, you can still use it.

"I'll just keep an eye on this martial arts field." Wei Ling said, "There won't be any pearls left behind."

"That's good." Su Jixiang smiled, "As for the skills, no matter what the person is proficient in, just let him choose one aspect he is proficient in and show it. As long as others can recognize it, he will pass. For example, carpentry and ironwork are all fine. Our main thing is to select the people, and the rest can be taught slowly."

After hearing what Su Jixiang said, Wei Ling had an idea in his mind.

"I see! Madam is still very clear and organized!" Wei Ling couldn't help but praise Su Jixiang. "Now that you put it this way, I have a clear idea in my mind."

"Then I won't bother you. You can think about the details slowly, but you still need to rest." Su Jixiang smiled and patted Wei Ling's shoulder.

Wei Ling grabbed Su Jixiang's hand and pulled him into his arms, then kissed Su Jixiang hard on the lips.

It was not until the two of them were a little restless and confused that Wei Ling let Su Jixiang go. "Go back, and don't think about your husband."

Su Jixiang was panting from the kiss. Hearing this, she slapped Wei Ling in anger, "You are dreaming! Who would miss you!" Then she nimbly jumped out of Wei Ling's arms and ran out with the packed food box.

"Let's go, let's go, hurry up." Su Jixiang pulled Lu Shui, who was waiting at the door, and ran away.

Wei Ling stood up and looked at the backs of the master and servant as they left, his eyes full of smiles.

A day later, the weather was nice and sunny.

In the Black Tiger Military Training Ground outside Mang City, there were fluttering banners and it was a lively scene.

A huge banner was erected above the parade ground, which announced the opening of the Black Tiger Army's first military competition and skills selection conference.

Su Jixiang came up with this title for Wei Ling, and Wei Ling thought it was a good idea so he used it directly.

After a round of inspiring war drums, Wei Ling stood on the reviewing stand in the parade ground, and around him stood several other generals, lieutenants, and the chief officers of each army. Today, everyone was dressed in armor and dressed neatly, and there was really a bit of the majestic and solemn momentum before going to war.

For this competition, Wei Ling asked all the chief officers to be present.

When the drums stopped beating, Wei Ling stood up and looked at the vast mass of Black Tiger Army before him. He cleared his throat and said, "Everyone!"

The people in the audience suddenly fell silent.

"Today is the first military competition and skill selection conference of our Black Tiger Army. The reason for holding this event is to boost the morale of our Black Tiger Army. Whether there is a war or not, we must maintain strong physical strength, combat effectiveness and fighting spirit! We will select all kinds of talents from those of you who are willing to attend the conference, whether they are good at literature or martial arts, even if you can farm, raise fish and pigs, or be a blacksmith, carpenter, or bricklayer, as long as you have a skill and dare to show your talent in front of others, we will give you corresponding rewards and promotions! At the same time, we will also transfer and adjust existing positions according to the different skills of everyone. We will also give corresponding rewards to the chief officers who actively participate in the selection of talents, and write good reviews to the court when evaluating their performance at the end of the year." After Wei Ling finished speaking, he glanced around.

Even though everything was already written down in the document that day, the soldiers who had gathered here from various garrisons still felt very excited and happy when they heard Wei Ling tell them the story in person.

As soon as Wei Ling finished speaking, everyone cheered.

There are rewards, promotions, and even transfers!

These words are full of hope for the future for these young people!

Among these people, there are people from Mangcheng, some who followed Wei Ling out of the mining area, and some who were recruited by Wei Ling when he went out to fight.

They had been together for so many years, and they originally thought that being a soldier was just like that. If there was no war, it would be difficult to get promoted. But Wei Ling's words today opened a new door for them.

"In the future, such military competitions and skill contests will continue as the glorious tradition of our Black Tiger Army. If you feel that you are not capable enough to be selected this time, don't be discouraged. Just go back and practice hard or become an apprentice. In two years, you can still stand here and accept another challenge. This is your chance, you must seize it!" Wei Ling raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet. "There are no cowards in our Black Tiger Army. If you fail once, try again. I believe that one day you will stand on the podium of victory!"

As soon as Wei Ling finished speaking, cheers broke out in the army again.

The generals on the stage looked at the excited faces of the young soldiers below, and each of them couldn't help feeling excited.

If they were still young, such an opportunity would only come once every two years, who wouldn't fight for it with all their might!

In the future, the Black Tiger Army will be driven by such a reward mechanism, which is like a stone falling into calm water, directly causing splashes and ripples!

In the future, a new atmosphere of competition will immediately emerge among the Black Tiger Army!

Those who had previously sneered at what Wei Ling was doing now suddenly showed great respect for him.

With such an atmosphere and such words, it is hard not to get excited.

This is the momentum an army needs!

"Those of you who think you are good at martial arts can challenge your opponents." Wei Ling waved his hand again to calm everyone down. He continued, "Look at the people standing on this stage. If you don't agree with anyone, I will give you a chance to challenge them today! Even if you don't agree with me, you can challenge me. As for those who study literature, you can go directly to Xie Yingfeng, Xie Military Advisor. Xie Military Advisor is short of people. If you think you can pass his test, he will transfer you to serve as his staff. As for other skills, such as growing vegetables and grains, and those who like to tinker with small things, you can sign up directly. As long as you have the ability, our Black Tiger Army will not bury your abilities!"

After Wei Ling finished speaking this time, both the generals on the stage and the soldiers below burst into laughter.

"Okay, we've talked and laughed enough. Now let's talk about the reward for the winner! This is what everyone is concerned about!" Wei Ling asked everyone to be quiet again and then said.
