Chapter 2282: Chapter 2279: Troop Training

If trouble really occurs, it’s quite simple.

Thinking of what Chu Heng has done, Zhang Zhi let out a breath of turbid air and ultimately chose to trust him.

He truly didn’t want to become paranoid and suspicious.

Of course, it was indeed necessary to integrate the manpower he sent over.

The two did not discuss much more.

When Minister Qi and Zhang Zhi departed, Chu Heng was just standing with Elder Zhong and other officials, seeing them off.

Elder Zhong stroked his beard, wearing comfortable woolen clothes beneath his official attire. He’s getting older and fears the cold more, and the wool sweater was bought from the Chu family’s shop.

Wearing it is not only light but very warm, quite suitable for the elderly.

Last winter, he was often sick and caught cold, but this winter he could stand out and stay for so long without issue.

"Now, I’m afraid the capital will remain quiet for quite a while."

Huo Zhengming was also wearing a wool sweater, with his hands tucked into his sleeves: "Zi Qiu, however, cannot stay quiet. It’s about time the Cavalry Battalion is established. Even the Capital Garrison will select a team. Aren’t you going to train soldiers in this cold weather?"

Indeed, although Chu Heng still held a position at the Official Gazette Office, most of his work was handed over to Elder Zhong and others. He was assigned by the Emperor to the Capital Garrison to train soldiers.

Initially, Chu Heng only put down some cavalry training experiences on paper.

After all, he had been to the Northern Region, and with Xie Zhao as his subordinate, a child born and raised on the Grassland, he was adept at horsemanship and knew more about cavalry training methods.

Chu Heng then integrated what Xie told him with the experiences of some generals who returned from the Northern Region, and wrote a book.

He had ample reasoning, and the people in the military camp thought of him as a remarkable talent.

Emperor Xuanming also acknowledged Chu Heng’s utility and was not surprised about the book he wrote.

Unexpectedly, the Emperor didn’t offer a reward but instead ordered him to train the soldiers in the Cavalry Battalion. Once trained, he would issue a reward together.

Of course, this was actually a sign of Emperor Xuanming’s trust in him.

In such circumstances, Chu Heng could not refuse and accepted the task.

He then, along with the generals who were willing to provide him with Beirong cavalry battle scenarios, went to train soldiers in the Cavalry Battalion.

Previously, Chu Heng would have found it challenging to gather resources.

After all, although military generals are straightforward, they are not as intricately nuanced.

But despite this straightforwardness, military generals from different factions almost always regarded each other as being subordinate to their own side.

This assumption pushed many generals to align with certain factions. When Chu Heng previously sought help from the Imperial Physician, gaining notoriety among them, and after gaining reputation—

Chu Heng again sought help using similar requests.

Many military generals were now willing to assist.

It also provided these generals with a reason to help him.

Of course, these training methods cannot simply be published in the official newspaper.

But they can be taught in military camps.

To these generals, citizens would only acclaim a general due to major victories, making reputation hard to achieve.

However, if they could provide methods to either kill or protect oneself, enabling more soldiers to survive, wouldn’t they gain these soldiers’ gratitude?

Moreover, with fewer soldiers sacrificed, it contributes to their record of achievements!

In summary.

Chu Heng’s actions in the Capital Garrison proceeded smoothly.

Even if Xiang City wished to trouble him, it would at best be minor issues.
