FIELD JOURNAL 1,2

 

Woke up as usual at 05:00. Had a small cup of tea for breakfast before meditating for half an hour. All soldiers present at morning parade, except my executive officer. They had an incident and are on sick-leave. I will be visiting them and check on their health once I have inspected all of the walls and YPA facilities around the city.

Inspection went flawlessly. No issues reported and no lack of security. My executive officer, Duizhu Watanabe, seems to have drunken an awfully strong tea and is in bed for the rest of the week. Nothing serious. Forth inspection in a row without any security issues. I am most impressed and satisfied with their duties.

Within the entire Zhanshi Regiment, I am yet to see a challenge they do not stand their ground against. Every threat, every fight they are engaged in, they are yet to disappoint me in any way. It is truly an honor for me to call them my brothers and sisters in arms. It was not an easy duty to turn them all into soldiers, yet thanks to the help of my fellow Soldiers the road was a short one, regardless of any stones placed in their path. Though since this regiment surpasses many of those who stand against the banners of Yong Ping in bravery and honor, it is no surprise to me. 

 

Yet ever since my most recent event within the temple I am feeling unwell. I can see little and feel as if I had drunk the Teahouse’s entire sake storage. Though rest is something I am unable to afford. I shall have my senior non-commissioned-officer take over some of the morning formalities with my staff so I can get an extra hour of sleep and rest. An hour desperately needed, or else I might just as well get myself to the clinic.

 

Carried on my afternoon meeting with my non-commissioned-officers, ordered them to give the soldiers a light afternoon before having an archery training session, followed by close combat lessons. Went to bed immediately after and slept for three hours before waking up in the middle of the night. Was not able to sleep, hence I went on a small stroll along the walls and city defenses. Nothing out of the ordinary, as usual. Headed to sleep at 01:00.
