Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology

Blayney, who was watching the ceremony, saw it all and had some understanding of the abilities of this seductive witch.

With just a few words, Tan Aili successfully divided the relationship between the generals and the soldiers and easily gained the soldiers' firm support.

Not only was she extremely accurate in observing people's words and expressions, she was also able to decisively remove all generals above the rank of captain. The whole process was as smooth as flowing water and she handled it with ease.

This time, all the sons of nobles were dismissed, and Tan Aili could promote new generals at will and make sure that they all obeyed her orders. In this way, there would be no obstacles in commanding the entire army.

"This goblin is simply a master at governing people. It's a good thing that he has talent. It won't be that difficult for me to gain benefits. The show is over, just wait for the harvest!" Bryony muttered to herself, then turned around and walked towards her camp...

Along the way, Blainey felt much more at ease, thinking that with Tan Aili in command, he didn't need to worry at all, and with the Imperial Guards leading the way, he could surely win military merit. It seemed that there was great hope of opening up the trade route this time.

When Tan Aili returned to the commander's tent, she saw the generals lining up in an orderly manner to submit their resignations.

She basically didn't need to read the contents of the letter carefully, nor did she want to waste time talking to them. The generals felt that they were in the wrong and there was no need to make a fuss if they could get away with it. It was enough for them to resign and go home to enjoy wealth and glory without having to fight on the battlefield. Anyway, they had made enough money, which was good enough.

The accountant only needs to write down the name and distribute the benefits, then we can part ways in peace and complete the handover safely.

After entering the commander's tent, she asked General von Carthy to bring the roster and began the selection process.

Within the framework of selecting generals, the children of nobles were all eliminated and would not be selected at all, because if aristocratic culture were to be revived, the army would remain the same.

In your majesty's new world, the power of noble territories is restricted, allowing common people to own land, forests, and river resources, and they can become wealthy through hard work.

The old nobles' system is obviously too oppressive to the people, and the country cannot collect taxes, which leads to the country's poverty and weakness. Evil laws must be abolished in order to build a new world.

All the generals are from good families, and those who understand the sufferings of the world are given priority.

In fact, let’s talk about those military generals who were dismissed. As soon as they left the barracks, they were invited to the palace. The king hosted a banquet for them and soothed their emotions with a gentle attitude, while also listening to their complaints patiently.

The generals expressed their dissatisfaction with Tan Aili, and today they were frank here. The king allowed them to speak freely and without any taboos. Afterwards, the king promised to arrange new positions for them to lead the army again.

A few days later, they received new appointments and were promoted to take charge of second-line troops, allowing them to display their military talents.

Therefore, it is not mentioned that these 520 people left the capital to take up their posts after receiving the transfer order. It was only when they left the capital that they were all beheaded on the spot by the thieves that the military reform was successfully resolved.

The noble families in the city only knew that their sons and nephews had been transferred to other jobs, but they had no idea that the king had secretly executed them. In this chaotic world, no one knew what had happened.

In short, anyone who participated in the corruption in the army would be killed, along with their families. If the legal trial process was too slow, it would also cause dissatisfaction among the big families, who would continue to make various small moves to hinder judicial justice.

Such secret execution is quick and efficient, saving time and effort.

A number of inferior generals were executed, and the power of the nobles in the capital was greatly reduced. By gradually eliminating their power in the army, they would all become weaklings, and would no longer dare to be arrogant and do whatever they wanted.

Within a few days, the new generals were in place. The ranks they were given were only acting ranks. On the battlefield, according to the principle of survival of the fittest, as long as they had the ability, they would be reused.

At least they were fair and just in selecting talents, and on this point, all the generals were convinced.

Under normal circumstances, due to the shackles of aristocratic culture, they would never be able to climb to high positions in the military in their lifetime, but now they finally have the opportunity to shine.

Most of the soldiers who graduated from the War Academy were promoted, so when Tan Aili held her first meeting, she won the heartfelt love of all the generals.

All the generals promised that they would never embezzle money, would provide the soldiers with adequate pay and food, and would do their best to maintain military discipline. Such military management would surely boost morale and ensure that orders were followed.

"It's okay for you generals to love money, but we are responsible for suppressing the rebellion, and it is common to confiscate property and exterminate clans. I can reward you with wealth, but you must never undermine military discipline and embezzle the proceeds! Violators will be executed without mercy..." Tan Aili said sternly.

"Yes, sir! We will never forget the Marshal's teachings..." The generals responded in unison.

Tan Aili added: "Your positions are only temporary appointments based on your military seniority and may be revoked at any time. If you want to consolidate your own positions, each of you should show off your power to me. Although troubled times are hard, they are also opportunities. It is the time for us to make achievements. If we don't fight now, when will we fight? How can we be respected in front of others..."

All the generals knew that they were only acting military rank and that competition within the military was bound to be fierce. They had to perform well in order to maintain their current hard-earned positions.

In fact, they also have the skills that the older generation of generals have, but they just lack opportunities. Now they need to prove themselves on the battlefield.

Next, the tasks were assigned and the entire army was ready to set off. They would go into battle as soon as the logistical supplies were delivered, so Tan Aili could not get entangled in the generals, so it was more appropriate to choose a good family man selected by herself.

She is well versed in human nature, and every word she says hits the hearts of the generals. This beautiful face is undoubtedly the type that the generals admire. She is dressed in the Lost Forest Alchemy Assassin steel armor, heroic and charming, and she has won the hearts of the people in one fell swoop.

Outside the tents were piled up the property seized from the seven families. Half of the property was used to renovate the barracks, and the rest was distributed to all the soldiers. Because of this, the morale of the army was high.

As soon as the marshal arrived, he replaced the generals, some of whom were even comrades in the ordinary barracks. The brothers who had once shared weal and woe were now prosperous, and they also benefited from it, so there was unprecedented unity among the soldiers.

In addition, almost everyone received 1,000 gold coins as compensation for the military pay that had been deducted for many years. Everyone deposited money in the military bank, which was also Tan Aili's innovative measure - mobile banking.

Wherever the army went, banking institutions, staffed by a heavy cavalry, provided financial facilities to the soldiers so that they did not have to carry heavy money everywhere.

Special bank vehicles need to be carefully customized. In short, the bank starts operating at this moment. The marshal personally inquires about the payment of military pay to each soldier to ensure that the soldiers' rights and interests are not violated and they are not bullied.

In the past, the army was often in chaos in the management of military pay, which led to complaints from soldiers. Tan Aili's move was undoubtedly a pioneering move, providing a solid guarantee for the stability and development of the army.

This concept of fair and just military management with clear rewards and punishments also formed a sharp contrast with traditional aristocratic privileges, and brought hope and motivation to the grassroots soldiers.

Ensuring that every soldier enjoys the treatment he deserves will help enhance the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the entire army and lay the foundation for military prosperity.
