PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "Huang Heming" and "Book Friend 20181104133854310".

"Can't!" Wu Zheng refused, "Although you have a large number of people, there is almost no training, there is a shortage of ordnance, and military affairs are sluggish. The most important thing is that if you are allowed to garrison in Huguang again, even if the Qing army does not attack, there will be civil chaos. ”

Gao Yigong hesitated for a moment and said, "What does the king of the county mean that we not only have to be recruited, but also leave Huguang?" ”

"Yes."

"Where?"

"Songjiang Prefecture, where the Loyal Battalion will be reorganized, women and children, the old and weak, the sick and disabled will be resettled, and the strong will be trained in military schools. This king intends to set up a new second guard for your loyal battalion, and the two generals can be the commanders, and the positions, equipment, salaries, and benefits of the soldiers under his command will be imitated in the Northern Expeditionary Army. ”

The three of them whispered again, but this time, there was a dispute, especially Li Guo and Gao Yigong, who were a little red-faced.

After a while, Gao Gui Yingcai said: "How will the county king settle me?" ”

"Madame can accept the canonization of the imperial court, and the rank is only high and not low. The generals under the command of the two generals can serve as officials under the jurisdiction of the king's general's mansion, and if they still want to lead troops, they can do so, but they must go through military school study and training. ”

"So, does the county king want to give up Huguang?"

"Nope. With the river as the boundary, the north belongs to the Qing court, and the south belongs to the Yixing Dynasty, but you belong to the king. ”

"Sizzle......." Li Guo gasped, "What do you mean, we will become your subordinates?" ”

"Why, if you are under the command of this king, you will not be humiliated?" Wu Zheng said in a deep voice.

Gao Guiying said: "How does the county king plan to transfer more than 100,000 people from the loyal battalion to eastern Zhejiang?" ”

Wu Zheng replied: "This is a matter to be discussed later, and Madame should decide first whether to accept the king's recruitment." ”

Gao Guiying hesitated for a while, and Li Guo and Gao Yigong quarreled again.

One said, "I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail", and the other said, "The county king is right, you can win the battle only by holding a group".

Gao Guiying said: "Can the king of the county allow me to discuss for a few days......?" ”

"I can't." Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "It's not that this king is unkind, but that time is not waiting for me, and I hope that Mrs. will understand." ”

Gao Guiying hesitated for a long time, and finally made a decision, "I have three conditions, if the king of the county agrees...... We will follow the will of the king of the county and attach to the king of the county. ”

Wu Zheng said: "Madam, please speak." ”

"The loyalty battalion must have four guards, the king of the county, more than 100,000 people, it is not an exaggeration to reorganize into four guards and 40,000 people, right? Besides, if there are only four guards, it will be difficult to place the generals under his command, and if he really wants to mutiny, I am afraid that everyone does not want to see it. ”

Wu Zheng hesitated, there were four more guards all of a sudden, the finances are indeed a problem, but Gao Guiying said this, it also makes sense, the officers among the more than 100,000 people are suddenly squeezed into the second guard, and many people will be demoted to the first or second level, or even wiped to the end, for a newly attached army, this is indeed difficult to control.

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Please continue to speak, Madame." ”

Gao Guiying said: "Besides, after I accept the canonization, I will live in Hangzhou Mansion." The king of the county understands, I am just a woman's family, I have been fighting for many years, I am tired, my husband has died, I am a surviving person, and I don't want to be displaced with the army anymore. ”

Wu Zheng nodded, "This king promises, this king can dispose of the mansion for his wife in Hangzhou." Madame, please go on. ”

"Finally, please treat my son and my brother well, although Li Guo has just confronted the county king, but after all, he has not decided to accept it under the command of the county king."

Wu Zheng said with a smile: "This king is not so small-bellied, General Li can rest assured, as long as you are dedicated to resisting the Qing Dynasty, this king will never embarrass you with today's confrontation." ”

Li Guo smiled a little embarrassedly.

Looking at Gao Guiying, Wu Zheng said: "Madame should understand that there are already six guards under the command of the general's mansion, and if four new guards are set up all of a sudden, it will be ten guards, which will have an impact on the soldiers' salaries, and it is also a disrespect to the imperial court." Therefore, this king wondered whether to settle in another way. ”

"The king of the county, please speak."

"In the land of the six prefectures, each prefecture has an additional security regiment, which produces in leisure time, and is a soldier in wartime, and is under the jurisdiction of each prefecture. This can not only allow the current generals to be resettled, but also reduce the burden of the general's palace, and maintain local law and order, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone. ”

"Could it be that the king of the county wants to emulate the Ming Dynasty guard?"

"No, the security regiment has a monthly salary, but it's not as high as the Northern Expeditionary Army. But the security regiment still has land out, and the total should be no less than the Northern Expeditionary Army. ”

The high welfare of the Northern Expeditionary Army has long been famous.

In fact, Li Guo no longer objected in the end, and there was also a reason why Wu Zheng mentioned that "all treatment imitates the Northern Expeditionary Army".

Gao Guiying's eyes swept to Li Guo and Gao Yigong, and seeing that the two had no intention of objecting, he nodded and said, "Then do as the county king said, but the loyalty camp cannot be disbanded until it arrives at Songjiang Mansion and is settled." ”

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "It seems that Madam still can't trust this king...... Yes, if Madame wishes. ”

Gao Guiying blushed and said, "I'm just a woman...... Please also ask the county king not to be surprised. ”

Wu Zheng laughed and said, "It's reasonable, it's not surprising. ”

Not long ago, the atmosphere that was still tense has become harmonious at this time.

was able to successfully recruit the loyal camp, not because of Wu Zheng's eloquence.

In fact, Mo Yiqing's subordinate "Chang Lin Wei" has done a lot of things, such as persuasion and promise to Gao Yigong.

Of course, this alone is not enough, the most important thing is strength.

Wu Zheng's reputation for fighting has long been outside, and the strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army is the most important thing.

And Gao Guiying and others' confusion about the future also played a big role.

Huguang is already full of war, and the three forces are gathering at the same time, once the war starts, it will be a dead end.

And the west has been occupied by the Yongli Dynasty, and the retreat to the west is nothing more than a parasitic fence.

It would be better to vote for Wu Zheng, at least the Northern Expeditionary Army was stronger and the south of the Yangtze River was more prosperous.

To be able to settle down and have a monthly salary, what a blessing in troubled times?

Gao Guiying asked: "We have already promised the county king to return, I don't know how the county king will let these 120,000 people smoothly turn east?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Guo and Gao Yigong's eyes looked over.

Also, the transfer of 120,000 people will definitely not be able to hide from the eyes of the Qing army in Hubei.

If this is not done well, if it is ambushed by the Qing army, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "Go south." ”

South?

At this time, Gao Guiying, Gao Yigong, and Li Guo's faces changed.

To the south is the Jiangxi boundary, where there is Jin Zhida's righteous army, and further south is Boluo's 6,000 Qing army.

Of course, it is still easy for the loyal battalion to attack Jin Zhida's righteous army, but that is a matter of happiness for those who are relatives and enemies.

And Bolo's 6,000 Qing army is the hard one.

Now Boluo is hoarding troops in Shangrao (Guangxin Prefecture), controlling Raozhou Mansion in the west, resisting Yanzhou Mansion in the east, and connecting Fujian Qing Army in the south.

The 6,000 Qing troops are enough for the loyal battalion to have a headache, and if you add the Qing army that came to Fujian when they heard the news, it would be even if it was another vicious battle.
