I formed the strongest swordsman group

In general, whether it is 250 stones for Zenglu or a pair of armor, the rewards and the value range of the rewards are all within everyone's expectations.

After all, if ranked in terms of achievements, Qingdeng is the undisputed number one achievement in the crusade army - such a major achievement, it is really unreasonable not to be promoted to a wave of family salary, and not to be rewarded with some good things.

Promoting salary, bestowing armor...any one of these two items is enough to make countless people covet.

In fact, countless people were so envious that their eyes turned red with envy after learning that Qingdeng had received such a generous reward—this kind of "red-eyed monster" did not only appear in the government office of Huofu Thief Kai. Various functional departments of the shogunate, such as the enforcing office and the surveying office, all have traces of their presence.

The family salary is promoted, and the descendants of Houze... This is the wish that many people dream of.

How many families have struggled for several generations, from the Warring States period until the steam warships began to show off their might on the sea, but the family salary has not changed a bit.

How much family salary did the ancestors lead three hundred years ago, and how much family salary he still leads now.

For the vast number of grassroots personnel in the shogunate officialdom, Qingdeng has almost become a "living legend"-at the beginning of this year, he was still an imperial family with only 100 Shijialu. However, it only took him less than a year to upgrade from the royal family to the banner, and also doubled the family salary by more than twelve times.

People have always thought that this kind of story of "succumbing to credit and increasing family income" only appeared in the Warring States Period three hundred years ago...

Counting the original family salary of Qianshi, Qingdeng's current family salary has a total of 1250 stones. It is one step closer to the highest realm that ordinary generals and ministers can touch: Daishen Banner.

The family salary of Qiben ranges from 50 shi to 10,000 shi.

There will not be any banner with a family salary of more than 10,000 stones. Because in the regulations of the shogunate, an important criterion for distinguishing a samurai from a daimyo is whether the family salary exceeds ten thousand.

Once the family salary exceeds 10,000, it is no longer an ordinary warrior, but a daimyo who can separate one side of the country.

In the family salary system of Banner Samurai, 5000 stone is a big threshold.

Banners with a family salary of 5,000 shi and above are collectively referred to as "Dashen Banners".

Once it becomes the main banner of the body, it will truly be among the upper class of the samurai society.

Many common people... no, it should be said that many low-level and middle-level samurai's unattainable official positions are open to you.

Of course, judging from the status quo, Qingdeng is still far away from becoming the headquarter of Dashen.

For some, Qingdeng's other reward... a pair of armor, is equally enviable and jaw-dropping.

Whether it is in the era of cold weapons or in the era of hot weapons, a set of excellent protective gear is like a dimensionality reduction strike.

Even those modern countries that can legally own guns will implement extremely strict prevention and control of body armor.

Generally speaking, due to various reasons such as complicated production process and strict government control, good armor is far rarer than good knife.

A set of high-quality armor can really be passed down from generation to generation like a family heirloom.

Many samurai would rather sell the sabers at their waists than let the armor passed down by their ancestors get a little bit of dust.

The armor given to Qingdeng by the shogunate is the most advanced style at present - a set of blue and white armor.

The so-called "fullness" is a new type of armor invented by blacksmiths after the establishment of the Edo Shogunate by the Tokugawa family.

That is to say: it is a master of the development of Japanese armor, and has made new breakthroughs while inheriting the tradition.

Before that, that is, when the Edo period had not yet come, the popular armor in Japan was "big armor".

Compared with the full body, the most notable feature of the large armor is that it is large and heavy. In order to satisfy the vanity of the samurai, the functionality and practicality of a pair of armor were largely sacrificed.

The torso of the large armor is a simple box structure, so the weight of the entire armor will be borne by the wearer's shoulders, which will put a lot of burden on the wearer.

In order to show off their martial arts and show their individuality, warriors often make very creative modifications on their armor...especially their helmets.

For example: installing a pair of antlers on the helmet...

Another example: install a pair of crescent moons more than 1 meter long on the helmet...

If you have enough, you don't have these problems of Dakai.

The full torso is basically a cylindrical shape with both ends contracted, rather than a box structure like the large armor.

Through this design, part of the weight can be shared to the whole torso, which greatly improves the flexibility of the wearer.

In a word: armor is purely for combat, so the importance of defense and mobility has been put above decoration.

At the same time, because firearms and Western-style armor had already been introduced to Japan when Juzu was born, Nanbanjuju, which added more bulletproof designs and absorbed a lot of Western characteristics, came into being.

Of course—there are still some people who like to show their individuality, and modify their full-length helmets into exaggerated shapes of various exotic items such as antlers, bull horns, and super big moons on their heads.

Fortunately, the armor given to Qingdeng by the shogunate was very normal - it was just a standard set.

The only decoration on the helmet is a pair of spade-shaped forestands of modest size and shape.

The breastplate absorbs the characteristics of the Western-style breastplates of the 17th and 18th centuries, and forms a protrusion in the central part to form a bulletproof sloped dove breast.

Hand armor and arm armor are common shapes, so there is no need to repeat them.

The color scheme of mainly cyan and supplemented by white looks very refreshing, which suits Qingdeng's taste - Qingdeng likes colors that remind people of sunny days and summer.

As for why the armor is this color, Qingdeng guessed this way: Could it be because my name has the word "Qing" in it, so I specially gave me a set of green armor?

On the whole, Qingdeng's armor is mostly non-decorative.

But relatively high functionality.

However, it's a pity... In the current era where machine guns like this are supposed to be invented soon, playing with iron armor is really a bit outdated.

Although Qingdeng's suit of armor has the function of bulletproof, it's just a design with an extra slope on the breastplate... To be honest, in the face of the most advanced Spencer rifles and other guns, the psychological comfort is greater than the practicality sex.

But it is true that you can't be too demanding on the armor's bulletproof function.

There is no armor in this world that can completely resist the increasingly sharp musket bullets.

Unless there is another security operation or military operation, such as the crusade against bandits, which is unlikely to encounter firearms, Qingdeng really can't think of any occasions where he can use this set of armor.

But whatever.

Putting this set of armor in the test hall is also a good decoration.

He was promoted to family salary and armored, and Qingdeng had the same scenery for a while.

Although there are many admirers, almost no one will be unconvinced - Qingdeng's achievements are real! There is no moisture at all! The members of the crusading army all saw with their own eyes how brave and fearless Qingdeng was when he fought against the Xiangma crowd.

To put it bluntly, Qingdeng deserved all these rewards.

No one dared to have the confidence to reprimand Qing Dengde for being uncoordinated.

Judging from the results, after this expedition to the west, Qingdeng has achieved fruitful results and gained a lot.

Leaving aside the rewards from the shogunate, just the fact that the list of talents has been further enriched, and he has mastered a lot of knowledge that he basically has no chance to learn on weekdays, is enough to make Qingdeng grin with joy.

Needless to say the former. After returning from Kai, Qingdeng's talent list has undergone the following changes: "Speed" and "Yuanyang" have been added to "Yuanyang+1" to enhance reflexes.

As for the latter...Qingdeng has learned many methods and experience of managing a large organization from my grandson Chutaro.

People who don't know how to do it may have such questions——

How can my grandson He De be the commander of the Crusade Army, ranking above Qingdeng and others?

Why did my grandson keep fishing when he was fighting the soma crowd? From the beginning to the end, only a few things were done: waving to signal attack, waving to signal retreat.

It's normal to have questions like this.

In the eyes of those who don't have a clear understanding of war and think that war is just "two groups of people drawing weapons and fighting each other", my grandson, who has not directly participated in the front-line battle, really looks like a dog who can only fool around. big salted fish.

But in essence - my grandson made a second contribution in this Western Expedition! Second only to Qingdeng who made the first contribution!

For this result, senior generals such as Kanazawa Chusuke and Mizushima Rensaburo, down to ordinary soldiers, did not have any complaints.

Everyone, including Qingdeng, felt that my grandson deserved such treatment.

The reason why my grandson deserves so much credit is simple - he handles those "invisible things" in an orderly and impeccable way!

In his previous life, Qingdeng once saw veterans from a certain country commenting on war on the Internet—the feeling of fighting a war is like playing a game, you have been living a leisurely, comfortable and slow life in a novice village, and spent nine years like this. After completing more than the game time, and when the game time is about to end, you are suddenly teleported into the final level without warning, the process of leveling and equipment collection is completely skipped, and you can't start directly with the strongest boss at the end of the level. The final showdown of the rollback.

When Yaofu first saw this sentence, Qingdeng didn't quite understand the meaning of the sentence.

After I also experienced the war myself, I suddenly realized that this sentence was so true, and I felt so empathetic.

In fact, the time when both sides of the battlefield meet each other is very short. The time spent probably only accounted for less than 10% of the total length of the war.

The rest of the time is occupied by various trivial matters.

Scouting, camping, training, eating, drinking water, going to the toilet, ensuring supplies...

Very boring.

But it is very important.

How to manage more than 90% of the boring time is a test of the general's command and management skills.

Qingdeng, Kanazawa Chusuke, Mizushima Rensaburo and the others just performed extremely brilliantly in the less than 10% of the time of "drawing a knife and hacking people".

The other time... More than 90% of the "boring time" is controlled by my grandson and has achieved the ultimate!

Thanks to my grandson's command, the troops marched so smoothly.

Thanks to my grandson's management, the troops were able to be so orderly when they were stationed in the camp and Inawa Village.

Thanks to my grandson's scheduling, the distribution of food, drinking water and equipment can be so uneventful.

It can be said: The crusade army can operate so efficiently, all depends on my grandson's ability.

Without the coordination of my grandson, it is impossible for the crusading army to complete the preparations to attack the Soma crowd within a few days after arriving at the front line.

With the "wisdom" of my grandson, the "bravery" of Qingdeng and others can be brought into full play to the greatest extent, and they can quickly wipe out the crowd of horses - as long as this causal relationship is clarified, you can understand my grandson's "bravery". Why is his contribution in this Western Expedition second only to Qingdeng.

The "art of war" is the "law of management".

Whoever can manage the troops under his command better, and whoever can manage the troops under his command like a finger, will be able to gain an unshakable huge advantage on the battlefield!

Looking at the ancient and modern times, the East and the West, those military gods who can leave their names in history, without exception, are extremely outstanding managers who can manage the army with ease.

The current Qingdeng is also a manager. There are a full 60 soldiers under his hand.

Therefore, he understands how troublesome it is to manage a large number of people and manage an organization.

So-and-so made trouble again, so-and-so disobeyed discipline, and so-and-so couldn't complete the tasks on time... Endless chores ate time and energy like termites.

Whether in his previous life or in this life, Qingdeng has never tried to manage a team or organization with more than 10 people.

How to efficiently manage an organization—Qingdeng's knowledge in this area can't be said to be completely ignorant, but it can also be said to be like a fog.

This kind of knowledge cannot be obtained in books and classrooms, so even if you want to make a surprise tutoring, you can't find a suitable channel.

Therefore, after discovering that my grandson is actually a management expert who can manage even the most complicated organization in the world in an orderly manner, Qingdeng's eyes lit up immediately.

Such a great "tutoring" opportunity, don't make a fuss... Ah, no! Wouldn't it be a waste not to learn from my grandson?

Ever since, Qingdeng has been "sticking" to my grandson and learning from my grandson since the army was launched from Edo with a humble attitude of "seeing the virtuous and thinking together".

My grandson's attitude was rather enthusiastic.

Seeing Qingdeng coming to ask for advice, he said very generously: "If there is anything you don't understand, just ask me~~"

He didn't show the teacher's or elder's spectrum at all.

One side is open-minded study, the other side is frank guidance; coupled with the blessings of "ghost heart", "photographic memory", "Yuanyang +1" and other talents, Qingdeng's learning progress can be described as leaps and bounds - the kidney energy is strong and sufficient , so that Qingdeng's physical and mental state and learning state have always been very good.

However, no matter how hard you study, no matter how fast your learning progresses, it is impossible to become a master of organization and management and a god of war in less than a month.

However, it can be regarded as a gain.

Qingdeng dare not say that he has now become a management expert, but at least his knowledge in this area is no longer blank.

...

...

In the next few days, the days were leisurely.

No more major cases came up.

No major incidents occurred.

Everyday life is plain and regular.

Get up at 2 o'clock in the morning to practice martial arts, go to work in the government office of Huofu Thief Reform when it's time, urge your subordinates to carry out military training, handle all kinds of complicated and trivial military affairs that cannot be ignored, get off work on time, and continue to the dojo of the test guard hall Practicing martial arts, taking a bath, sleeping... the cycle repeats itself.

On days off when he doesn't have to go to work, Qingdeng will go around like a spinning top in the four places of Qianshiya, Xiaoqianba Sword Hall, Residence, and Moon Palace Shrine.

Sometimes, in the morning, I would teach Elodie at the residence, and learn some French by hand; in the afternoon, I would sneak to the Moon Palace Shrine, and practice cloud ninjutsu and archery under the hands-on teaching of Tianzhangyuan and others.

Sometimes, I would visit Radish in the Xiaoqianye Sword Hall in the morning, and chat with Sanazi about various conversations that seem to have content and seem to have no content; During breaks, when Boss Kiryu is not paying attention, simply make out with Kinoshita Mai, including but not limited to: playing with Kinoshita Mai's small hands, hugging Kinoshita Mai's shoulders, hugging Kinoshita Mai and chatting with her.

Kinoshita Mai, a soft girl, is far less aggressive and competitive than Sanako... To put it bluntly and vulgarly, she is easy to bully.

In the face of Qing Deng's aggressive offensive, Kinoshita Mai often... no, not "often"! It's simply unbearable!

So up to now, Qingdeng and Kinoshita Mai's emotional progress can be described as rapid.

It is no longer the old way of walking side by side, you have to pay special attention to the distance between each other.

Regarding this, let's not say anything. More on that later.

Qingdeng's recent official life has become much more comfortable.

Looking at the entire third team, no one dared to challenge Qingdeng's majesty, no one dared to make a mistake in front of Qingdeng.

After Akabane's death, the remaining "anti-Qingdeng elements"...such as Shirasaki Heijiro, changed their temperament as if they were a different person.

He is obedient to Qingdeng now, whatever Qingdeng asks him to do, he will do it silently, without saying anything or complaining.

Whether Bai Qi and the others are completely convinced by him, whether they will never confront him again from now on——Qingdeng doesn't know, and doesn't want to know.

As long as they stop plucking his whiskers.

He doesn't care about the rest.

Akabane's death condensed Qingdeng's absolute authority of saying one thing and one thing, and if he dared to find me unlucky, he would be unable to eat and walk around.

As for the great achievement of Qingdeng leading the charge, leading the team to pursue the road, and directly taking the head of Yokokura Keinosuke, it proved to all the members of the third division that he has the ability to lead the big guys to make meritorious deeds together. , get rich!

The third squad that made the "defeat of beheading the commander" received a special award from the shogunate. In those few days, there was a happy atmosphere inside and outside the station of the third squadron.

Human nature is like that.

As long as you have a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other, you won't have to worry about winning back people's hearts.

A qualified "boss" must be a person who can distribute the "cake" well.

All in all, Qingdeng has gained a complete foothold in the third team now, and is no longer the "airborne leader" who can't even command anyone.

As for the captain of the fifth team, Suzuma Kimura, the captain of the sixth team, Hazaka Motozo, and the captain of the seventh team, Masaaki Tsuchida, the three captains who were at odds with Qingdeng, they suddenly stopped recently and stopped looking for Qingdeng. happy.

Why did this person suddenly become quiet?

Qingdeng didn't bother to care.

Now that they have become peaceful, Qingdeng is also happy to be quiet, not to break this delicate "balance".

Ah, by the way, the Cheng character flag that was temporarily made to boost morale when chasing Yokokura Keinosuke, because Qingdeng thought it was very meaningful, so he kept it at home.

When you get old in the future, you can take out this flag and tell the glorious history of this flag to your children and grandchildren.

If you want to talk about whether there is anything worth mentioning that happened during this period of time... that's true.

Soji's older sister... Okita Hikaru-san is going home.

...

...

In the first year of Wanyan (1860), on December 15th, at night——

Edo, Koishikawa Kohinata Yanagi-cho, Shouweikan——

Yongcang: "Oh! Uncle Yuan! Don't lose!"

Kondo: "A Sui! Hold on! It's almost finished!"

Hijikata Toshizo and Inoue Genzaburo, who were sitting opposite each other, held a two-pack of sake each, and drank with their heads up. 【1 fit=180ml】

Kondo, Yongcang, Harada and others cheered for the people they supported, and the atmosphere was extremely heated.

Director: "Uncle Yuan! Pull yourself together! Don't lose!"

No matter how loud and hard Yongcang and the chief director shouted, they still couldn't restore the reality that Inoue's eyes became more and more scattered and chaotic.

finally--

"Pfft...! No, no, no... I can't take it anymore... I can't drink anymore..."

Inoue put the bottle with half of the water in his hand down heavily by his legs, then groaned in pain, and staggered to the ground. Straightforwardly raise the white flag of surrender.

As for earthwork—

"Ha...~~ Enjoyable!"

He let out a long breath, and belching loudly, he showed the crowd the empty bottle in his hand.

"Oh! Awesome! Azui! You won again!" Kondo laughed loudly, and slapped Hijikata on the back hard.

"Hmph, it's a piece of cake!" Tufang rubbed his nose proudly.

Harada: "Okay! Emotions are up! Everyone! Please look at me! I will explain to you in detail how this big scar on my stomach came about! Actually, this scar is from my laparotomy. The knife marks left behind..."

Yongcang: "Harada! You are enough! Why do you have to tell the story of the scar on your stomach every time you drink high? Don't you have any other stories to tell?"

...

The hustle and bustle and the tangy smell of wine filled every corner of the hall.

Qingdeng looked at the noisy companions with a speechless face, and thought to himself:

——The theme of this banquet is to see off Okita Hikaru...?

Souji, who always fell ill every winter, spring, summer and autumn, under the careful care of Okita Hikaru, finally fully recovered in mid-November.

Okita Hikari originally wanted to return to Hino after the chief executive recovered, but the chief executive with the attribute of "sister control" would not let anyone go.

"Sister~ Stay here for a few more days~~" At that time, the chief executive threw himself into Okita Hikaru's arms, and acted like a baby to Okita Hikaru with a soft voice.

Although there is a huge difference between the chief executive and Okita Hikaru on the issue of "whether to continue practicing swordsmanship", this contradiction does not affect the chief executive's love for Okita Hikaru.

Souji, who lost his parents since he was a child, was brought up by Hikaru Okita.

Therefore, Okita Hikaru is not only a reliable elder sister, but also a gentle mother and a strict father to the chief executive.

Hikaru Okita, who couldn't beat the general manager, could only reluctantly agree to stay in the test guard hall for a few more days.

In this way, Hikaru Okita stayed in Edo for another month.

According to the general director's feelings for Okita Hikaru, even if Okita Hikaru lived in the test guard hall for a lifetime, she might not be bothered.

However, it is a pity that Okita Hikaru is not a member of the test guard after all, she also has her own life to live.

Therefore - 3 days ago, that is, on December 12, Okita Hikaru said to the general manager in euphemistic terms: "Your brother-in-law may cry after being separated from me for so long."

Because it doesn't take so many people to take care of the sick Souji, so the Souji's brother-in-law: Okita Rintaro, was driven back to Hinoju by Okita Hikari long ago.

The general manager also wanted his sister to stay with her for a while longer, but it was undeniable that it was impossible for Hikaru Okita to live in the test hall for a long time.

No matter how reluctant he is, the chief executive will say goodbye to Hikaru Okita.

Tonight, under the personal hosting of Zhou Zhu, everyone held a simple farewell party for Hikaru Okita.

Residents of the test hall, all participate.

This banquet lineup...Qingdeng thought it was bad at first glance.

In the end, as expected—the farewell party turned into a drinking party and a dance party as soon as it started...

Thanks to the leader of the book friend [Self-Song Self-Answer] for the reward! It's been a long time since the new lord's tip, but I'm in a daze, and I keep forgetting to thank you, so I apologize very much! Thank you for your tip! (Leopard Head Crying.jpg)

A new month has arrived! Book lovers who have monthly tickets on hand, please be sure to vote for this book!

Ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a recommendation ticket! (Leopard Head Crying.jpg)

I believe some book friends have also seen it.

Compared with Ogata in the previous work, Qingdeng's biggest difference is that he is very good at making friends and will take the initiative to make friends.

In addition to being happy to make friends, I am also willing to learn from my friends and learn from their strengths.

Inexplicably, there is a feeling of the protagonist of "Persona", constantly improving the community, so as to obtain various new skills. At the same time, step on multiple boats and jump repeatedly on multiple boats. (Leopard laugh.jpg)
