Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 370 - 368: Good Things Keep Happening
Chapter 370: Chapter 368: Good Things Keep Happening
After waiting for a moment, until the voices of these individuals gradually became calm.
Lin Yi then glanced at the crowd with a smile and continued to speak:
"Hehe, actually, besides this piece of good news today, I have several other pieces of good news to share with you."
As these words were uttered, the crowd below became excited again, their faces turning somewhat flushed.
Lin Yi’s good news had indeed shocked them too much.
Thinking about the good news that would be mentioned later, they were also filled with anticipation, guessing in their hearts what this news could be?
Lin Yi did not keep them in suspense, but told them directly:
"Due to your commendable performance, you have now become qualified members of the Nanshan Guards.
So, what I’m going to say next is, our performance this time has been exceptionally outstanding, winning the approval of His Majesty, the approval of the Civil and Military Officials, and the approval of the entire You Country.
Therefore, starting from today, the Nanshan Guards will expand into the Nanshan Army! Under its command will be three guards!
This means that starting today, our troop will expand from 3,000 people to a mighty army of ten thousand."
With these words, everyone was momentarily stunned.
They had never expected such news to come.
Keep in mind that this army had only been established for a few months, and for such a new army to quickly reach this scale was already quite remarkable.
And for this new army to transform from the Nanshan Guard Station into the Nanshan Army in just a few months was absolutely unprecedented.
A guard station and an army are totally different, even saying that the army ranks much higher than a guard station.
Although they also called Lin Yi as General Lin, it was more a casual term!
Lin Yi’s real title was still that of Households Commander.
Being called a general was just their informal way of addressing him, but after becoming an army, it was indeed a genuine general rank.
Even though this new army only consisted of ten thousand men, it still was a formidable force.
Being able to lead such an army, this could certainly attest to its glory.
And this instantly made them all excited, as they keenly understood the principle of sharing collective glory!
Especially for their esteemed Lin Yi, every one of them felt genuinely grateful from the bottom of their hearts, and thus they were sincerely hopeful for him to achieve even greater success.
Now, as Lin Yi had become a general, every person felt honored, feeling proud of the inherently righteous acts they had performed.
And now, following the end of this speech, after a moment of silence, there erupted a thunderous roar of cheering like a tsunami.
This level of excitement was even more intense than when they had received a two hundred tael reward.
Even starting to loudly chant "Great General Lin!"
Listening to the overwhelming roar below.
Lin Yi also felt tremendously spirited.
Their shouts reverberated loudly, echoing across the valley, long resounding within the entire Nanshan Base.
Even the civilians outside the camp, when they faintly heard this sound, couldn’t help but look over in this direction.
It was inevitable, as there was some distance between the army and them, with a valley separating them.
This was also deliberately arranged by Lin Yi.
Given the considerable scale of Nanshan City at this time, it naturally wouldn’t be appropriate for Lin Yi to let the army camp amongst the civilians.
And so the army was separated from the city.
But, even so, the shouting at this moment was so loud that it vaguely reached the city ahead.
Finally, after about half a quarter of an hour, the crowd gradually quieted down.
Looking at their flushed faces, Lin Yi spoke again:
"Hehe, this is indeed great news, not only for me but for every person present, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you.
This expansion of the army has brought opportunity to each of you.
That means, from this moment on, the status of each one of you has subtly changed.
Directly from the rank of Centurion, three people will be promoted to Chiliarch.
From the rank of Squad Leader, a portion will be directly promoted to Centurion.
And for the ordinary soldiers among you, you now also have opportunities.
Out of every ten people, three can be selected to be promoted to Squad Leader!
Of course, even those who are not yet competent should not be discouraged, for when we expand the army next time, each of you will have the opportunity to move up."
After this speech ended, the people below became excited once again.
This time, however, Lin Yi didn’t allow them to be excited for too long and continued to speak:
"This is just one piece of good news; there is another piece, which is about these carts, these carts contain the new-style military uniforms and new-style swords for you."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the ranks began to quietly speculate.
However, no one was whispering to each other, as military discipline was still very strict.
Shangguan had not issued any orders, so they dared not speak rashly.
Like just now, losing composure was completely due to excessive excitement, and even that was deliberately allowed by Lin Yi, not holding them back and letting them indulge a bit.
But now they couldn’t do so; everyone stood upright, looking straight ahead, eyes unblinkingly staring at Lin Yi.
As for their minds, they were continuously pondering what the new-style military uniforms and new-style swords could be.
Of course, while they were pondering, suddenly a figure flashed into their minds.
They all instantly thought of one person in their minds, and that was none other than Tie Niu.
Just yesterday, they had all seen with their own eyes Tie Niu wearing a set of clothes that made everyone envious.
The outfit was incredibly stylish, making him look exceptionally spirited, and not only that, he was also holding a very bizarre type of sword!
It can be said that that outfit and sword kept them up all night.
They were all thinking that when they returned, they must inquire with Households Commander Tie.
But before they had the chance to ask, they were summoned here.
However, now as Lin Yi’s speech concluded, that outfit involuntarily emerged in their minds.
And they silently speculated in their hearts, could it be that these carts were loaded with that kind of outfit?
Could it be that Lin Yi was going to issue such an outfit to each of them?
