There were many soldiers in the camp.

Shen Jing immediately called people on-site to create a sample of the facilities he wanted them to build.

Watching Shen Jing bustling about, Ning Ji couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.

Chen Xi craned his neck to look around, then turned to Ning Ji and asked with interest, "You're quite familiar with him. Do you think these things he's making are useful?"

Yang Ran pretended to be indifferent, but he pricked up his ears and listened carefully, afraid of missing anything.

"I don't know."

Ning Ji gently shook his head, "But from my limited understanding of Shen Jing, he seems to be someone who doesn't fight a battle he's not confident in!"

Hearing Ning Ji's words, Yang Ran's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

No way?

Are these things Shen Jing is having people make really useful?

"Oh?"

Chen Xi's face showed a playful expression, "It seems he's going to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys!"

As he spoke, Chen Xi's gaze involuntarily fell on Yang Ran.

Undoubtedly, Yang Ran was that chicken!

Shen Jing must also know that many people in the Dragon Martial Army were not convinced by him becoming the Commander of the Dragon Martial Army.

If he wanted to establish himself in the Dragon Martial Army and secure his position as Commander, he had to show his true capabilities!

Otherwise, even if he was the Emperor's appointed Commander of the Dragon Martial Army, he would find it difficult to move forward in the Dragon Martial Army.

"I think he's just putting on a show!"

Yang Ran stubbornly snorted, "Have you ever heard of these things he's talking about? I think he's just making assumptions, and in reality, they're useless!"

"Whatever."

Chen Xi shrugged, "Anyway, if he delays important matters, and the higher-ups blame him, he'll take the fall! If he wants to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, it won't be our turn! We're just here to watch the show!"

"I..."

Yang Ran choked, and angrily said, "Chen, you're a goddamn piece of work! We agreed to give this bastard a hard time, and now you're screwing me over?"

Chen Xi grinned, "We were just talking, who knew you'd take it seriously! You're really brave!"

"You..."

Yang Ran was furious, cursing Chen Xi's ancestors eighteen generations back in his mind.

These bastards!

When they were talking, each one was fiercer than the last, but when it came to the real thing, they were all cowards, selling out their teammates faster than anyone!

Many hands make light work.

About an hour later, a sample of the facilities Shen Jing requested was built.

Shen Jing ordered the others to leave, keeping fifty soldiers.

"You, climb up!"

Shen Jing randomly called out a soldier to climb onto a three-zhang-high platform.

The soldier dared not disobey and carefully climbed onto the platform.

Afterward, Shen Jing ordered the remaining soldiers to line up below the platform, "Put your hands up! When he falls down, catch him!"

Hearing Shen Jing's words, the soldier on the platform immediately became scared and asked with a trembling voice, "Marquis Shen, what if they don't catch me? Won't I..."

"If you're not caught, this Marquis will punish them! But if you don't fall, this Marquis will execute you now!"

Shen Jing directly interrupted the soldier and then ordered everyone to get ready.

Once everyone was ready, Shen Jing immediately ordered in a deep voice, "Fall!"

Hearing Shen Jing's command, the soldier on the platform hesitated repeatedly, then steeled himself, closed his eyes tightly, and fell backward off the platform.

Watching this scene, Ning Ji and Chen Xi couldn't help but worry about this soldier.

If the people below didn't catch him, falling from such a height, and falling backward, could easily be fatal.

However, the scene they imagined did not occur.

After experiencing the thrill of a person flying in front and the soul chasing behind, the fallen soldier was steadily caught by everyone working together.

Even so, when he was put down, the soldier's legs were a bit wobbly.

"I know his purpose!"

Ning Ji suddenly slapped his head and exclaimed excitedly, "He wants to use this to help the soldiers overcome their fear and increase their trust in each other!"

This method seemed simple, but it was actually very useful.

On the battlefield, if soldiers could trust each other, their combat power would be greatly enhanced.

"Yes!"

Chen Xi nodded repeatedly, his eyes shining as he said, "This move is indeed very clever, and it can be both a drill and a relaxation after training! When the actual training begins, it can be directly carried out within the same squad! This training method can even be promoted throughout the entire army!"

They were all descendants of meritorious officials, and they immediately saw the benefits of this kind of training.

It neither required too much physical exertion nor did it allow soldiers to overcome fear and increase their trust in each other.

With a foundation of trust, they would also cooperate more tacitly when conducting small battle formation drills.

If the soldiers of each squad could cooperate tacitly, and then expand from the cooperation of one squad to one platoon, one company, one battalion, such a team, even if they had not been on a real battlefield, would definitely be considered elite!

Ning Ji's face flashed with a hint of admiration, "Damn it, why didn't we think of such a method? We're supposed to be commanders!"

"Perhaps, it's precisely because we are commanders that we couldn't think of it."

Chen Xi shook his head and smiled, saying with some shame, "We only thought about training step by step, and never thought about anything else."

Yang Ran's face twitched violently, and he angrily said, "Chen, whose side are you on, anyway?"

"I am a very reasonable person; I help the right, not relatives!" Chen Xi said righteously.

"You're just a bastard!"

Yang Ran cursed the disloyal Chen Xi, then stiffened his neck and said, "There are still several more items! I don't believe that all these broken things he's come up with are useful!"

Chen Xi and Ning Ji exchanged a smile, not arguing with Yang Ran, and continued to watch Shen Jing's second drill.

Maneuvering around stakes!

This was very simple; it was clear at a glance that it was training the soldiers' physical flexibility.

The third item, the single-plank bridge.

Training the soldiers' body coordination.

The fourth item, the fifth item...

Shen Jing ordered the fifty soldiers to go through each training item one by one.

Each training item was targeted.

Simple, but very practical.

It wasn't until the fifty soldiers had completed all the training that Shen Jing returned to the three of them.

"Oh, Marquis Shen is indeed a prodigy!"

Chen Xi stepped forward, his face full of admiration, "This subordinate's admiration for Marquis Shen is simply like a surging river..."

Listening to Chen Xi's words, Yang Ran's face couldn't help but twitch violently, cursing him as shameless in his heart.

He didn't even know how Chen Xi could say such disgusting things!

"Save the flattery for later."

Shen Jing smiled at Chen Xi, then stared at Yang Ran and asked, "Are you convinced?"

Yang Ran's face twitched slightly, he hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I'll admit these broken things of yours are useful!"

"Oh, you admit these things are useful?"

Shen Jing was a little surprised, and smirked, "This Marquis was thinking, if you didn't admit it, this Marquis would expel you from the Dragon Martial Army on the grounds that your judgment is too poor and you're unfit to be a general, so your father could give you a good beating!"

"You treacherous bastard!"

Yang Ran glared at Shen Jing hatefully, gritting his teeth and saying, "Tell me, how many military floggings do you want to give? I'll take it!"

Shen Jing's lips curled, "Originally I wanted to give forty military floggings, but seeing as you still dared to admit these things are useful and didn't lie with your eyes open, I'll give you twenty military floggings!"
