Lin Yi forced himself to calm down, silently chanting in his heart, "I personally chose this, I personally chose this," only then did he manage to suppress the impulse to go up and beat the hell out of this guy.

Well, you really are kind of like insulting a bald monk to his face, you damn idiot. I personally promoted you, and instead of thanking me, you’re here cursing me, saying I’m crazy. You’re just asking for a beating.

If it weren’t for the fact that this guy is loyal and straightforward, Lin Yi might have just tossed him out and given him a few lashes.

Not only that, but Lin Yi started to secretly look forward to something at this moment.

He really wanted to see what kind of expression this fool would have when he found out that the person who issued this decree was himself.

Would it scare this guy so much that he cries out loud?

It’s really hard to say.

Of course, there’s another possibility, which is that when this guy finds out the decree was written by me, will he just curse me out again?

After all, this fool is capable of anything.

Anyway, for now let’s not focus on that matter, but on the group of people around us here.

Watching this foolish Lao Liu in the field, everyone’s eager to rush up and kick him a few times.

No one knows what kind of luck this guy’s got, he’s actually been promoted, and now he’s their superior.

Although they’re a bit indignant inside, none of them have any ulterior thoughts, or want to push this guy out and replace him themselves.

On the contrary, though they’re somewhat apprehensive, they’re also quite happy, because no matter what, the commander of the Border Army hasn’t changed; he’s still one of their own, and that’s enough.

If a new commander really came here, their organization would definitely change, or the name of their old army wouldn’t be preserved.

As the saying goes, a new king brings new ministers, and although the Border Army Camp is just a small military unit, the principle is the same as higher up.

When a new commander takes office, they’ll certainly have their own style and way of doing things, meaning if someone new really replaced them, it’s very likely everyone here in the Border Army Camp, who are now them, would be directly scattered.

By then, they could only become brand new soldiers, with no say at all.

That’s a situation they’d never want to see, and it’s certainly not something Leng Yu wants either.

To be honest, before receiving this decree, Leng Yu had been worrying that if he really got transferred, and a new commander came here, the local people and soldiers would face unimaginable treatment.

By then, the lifetime efforts of his father would likely be shattered.

Moreover, the most important point is that Young Master Lin plans to build a city nearby, and if he gets transferred and replaced by a new commander, would the construction of the city go smoothly?

Clearly, that’s impossible.

And with this decree, not only was his appointment announced, but Lao Liu was also appointed to the position of commander of the Border Army Camp.

Even though this guy is usually simple-minded, Leng Yu knows in his heart that his loyalty is reliable, and his sense of belonging to the entire Border Army Camp is strong.

Because of this, at least the name of the Border Army Camp won’t change, and the soldiers and family members in the camp won’t suffer any grievances.

Because of this, even though he’s about to be transferred to the Capital City, his heart is slightly calmed now, and the most important thing is that the city Young Master Lin wants to build under Lao Liu’s protection should be easier.

Moreover, he’s figured out something; after becoming the Grand General of Dayou, he’ll hold the military power in his hands. With that authority, reconstructing and reorganizing the Border Army Camp will be quite easy, and transferring some good soldiers over would also be a simple task.

"Alright, don’t be smug about your good fortune, get ready properly. I believe it won’t take long before the reinforcements arrive. You’ll be busy then, don’t be clueless about how to manage them, or you’ll disgrace not just yourself but all of us," Lin Yi said.

Upon hearing this, Lao Liu paused, then fell into thought, quickly understanding the cause and effect of the matter, and firmly agreed with Lin Yi’s words.

If he couldn’t manage the Border Army Camp well, he’d disgrace not just himself, but also Leng Yu and Lin Yi, and all the old commanders of the Border Army.

Actually, not only Lin Yi and Leng Yu wouldn’t want to see it, but all the surrounding old commanders wouldn’t want to see Lao Liu embarrassed.

That’s why they secretly decided that no matter what, they’ll support Lao Liu with all their strength to help him become a qualified Garrison General as soon as possible.

Hearing Lin Yi’s words and seeing the solemn expressions of those around him, Lao Liu thought for a moment, then shook his head vigorously, and slapped his right hand on his chest twice, promising:

"Don’t worry, Young Master. Don’t worry, General. Brothers, don’t worry.

I will certainly make the Border Army Camp flourish, let our camp become the mightiest Border Army of Dayou!"

Just like that, amidst amazed disbelief, everyone returned grandly to the meeting hall, while Lin Yi walked indifferently to the leading position, with Leng Yu sitting beside him:

"Young Master, according to the decree, I have to set off to the Capital City tomorrow morning. By then, the construction of the new city will probably be affected," Leng Yu said, frowning at Lin Yi.

Seeing Leng Yu’s furrowed brows, Lin Yi couldn’t help but curl the corners of his mouth upward.

Meanwhile, he thought to himself:
