When he asked this, Ye Fu couldn't help but smile, shook his head and said, "Mr. Xu, you shouldn't be really confused by me, right?" Since I want a captain whose loyalty to me is my first priority, wouldn't it be just right to test it with rebels? I want to see if Geng Zhongming can really win over my people under my system! You probably haven't known this person yet, but I can tell you that Geng Zhongming is a person with a very strong desire for power. I expected that he would inevitably win over these captains, and I also wanted to see if it was Dao Gao or Demon Gao? If I can hold him down, I am worthy to control him! ”

Xu Gaozhuo completely understood this time, but after he understood, he had doubts about the original system, "My lord, even if you are loyal, you can't help but win over, right?" ”

"Oh?" Ye Fu disagreed, "You just came back, I'm afraid you don't know yet." On the day I allowed him to choose someone, I asked Wang to go through the experience of his subordinates and the division of the division to help me draft an order. From now on, all posts in the Dangerous Mountains Army will be transferred in accordance with the regulations I have laid down. Didn't I set up a learning office before? Recently, I felt that this department was a little too idle, so I thought about finding something for them to do, and just so happened to let them be in charge of the regular evaluation of officers. The results of this assessment will be submitted to the Quanxuan Division. According to the results of the assessment, the Quanxu Division shall draw up a list of promotions and deposition. All officers at or above the rank of battalion instructor need to be reported to me by the governor of the Quanxu Division, and it is up to me to decide, or recommend the appointment to the imperial court. Officers of the lower ranks are directly determined by the governor, but the orders must be stamped with the seal of the king's experience. ”

Xu Gaozhuo listened to these words, and he could be regarded as understanding, "In the past, private posts and taking care of relatives happened frequently. Nowadays, adults make rules in this way, which can be regarded as putting an end to this. What a good idea! Come to think of it, the students of the martial arts academy are naturally loyal to adults, and Lord Geng, first, can't raise or lower his subordinates at will, and second, can't pick up money and food. And you have to be supervised by the instructor, this is really ~~ It's not easy to win over anyone! ”

Ye Fu smiled and said: "Such regulations are not perfect, and they need to be gradually improved." But for now, it's almost enough. What do you think? Does Mr. Xu still agree with my explanation? ”

Xu Gaozhuo got up and said: "Your Excellency is a resource, and you are wise. It's just that students always have something they don't understand, and they need to be mentioned by adults in a timely manner, and I hope adults don't mind. ”

Ye Fu naturally didn't bother with Xu Gaozhuo, and there was no more time left for him to worry about.

Because just a few days after Xu Gaozhuo came back, a letter sent back from the capital made the originally stable dangerous mountain make waves again in an instant.

The second hall of the General Counselor's Office, in the hall of the proceedings.

Ye Fu sat on the main seat with his forehead in his hand, squinting slightly, looking at the core of the dangerous mountain army standing on the left and right sides of the table and the officers of this fort arguing and shouting, blushing and having a thick neck.

In fact, this may not be a dispute, at most it can only be regarded as a little too much hatred.

Don't look away, Ye Fu glanced at the letter flattened on the table again, and suddenly felt a little headache.

The cause of the incident was something he should have thought of a long time ago.

Just a few days ago, a group of Portuguese people, under the strong recommendation of the courtiers, presented a batch of advanced European artillery to the imperial court. With them were a group of Portuguese soldiers, or military advisers.

The 'double teeth' mercenaries of this era have traveled almost all the borders except Antarctica. It's not unusual for the Portuguese to be eyeing this place.

The unfortunate thing is that the imperial court finally decided to accept it, but soon after the training began, there was a bad thing that the artillery exploded and directly killed the adviser.

As soon as this incident came out, the hand that the court had just stretched out immediately retracted.

The Portuguese were about to roll up and get out, but Wang Xing, who was in the capital, remembered the rusty red-coated cannon he had picked up earlier. At that time, he saw that Ye Fu was very interested in this, and this time he also wanted to pat Ye Fu's ass and make him happy, so he tried every means to trick this group of Portuguese to Liaodong, and connected the cannon to Ye Fu together.

Wang Xing is a typical sycophant, whether it is useful or not, Ye Fu likes it, and he has to find a way to get it.

Putting aside Ye Fu's attitude for the time being, this matter was heard by the officers below, so they immediately blew up the temple first.

"~~ Liaodong has always been short of salaries, and the Xiyi, which is not yet supported by the imperial court, is obviously a pile of garbage, why should it be picked up and offered~~"

"~~ That is to say! If it is not of my race, its heart will be different! My lord, you have to guard against being bitten by them in the future~~"

"~~ My lord, think twice! At this time, we still need to think about it in the long run~~"

There was a lot of noise below, as if a pot was boiling.

The most lively thing is that even Wang Zhi stood up and explained to Ye Fu that he had almost the same opinion as these officers. Wang Zhi's 'defection' made Ye Fu feel even more headache.

With his fingers lightly tapping on his head, Ye Fu finally couldn't bear it anymore, he glanced at Xu Gaozhuo, who had been sitting quietly, and took the initiative to divert the topic, "Mr. Xu, how did the camp office organize a simulated confrontation at the battalion level recently?" It is better to fight than a thousand practices, this must be grasped quickly, I think, in just a few days, the plan will be sent. When the time comes, a comprehensive evaluation will be made, and then a charter will be drawn up, and the good will be rewarded and the bad will be punished. ”

Xu Gaozhuo understood and immediately replied: "Don't worry, my lord, everything has been arranged, and the plan can be issued immediately." ”

"Hmm." Ye Fu nodded at him, frowned, and looked at his noisy subordinates, "What is the noise?" What's the noise? What is a shortage of money? Well? Tell me clearly! Did Lao Tzu owe you your salary, or did he not provide you with sufficient armaments? Don't say that Lao Tzu is looking at a group of Western soldiers, even if Lao Tzu wants to buy a group of Western monkeys to come back and play juggling, does it have anything to do with you? All yelling at Lao Tzu! I'm telling you guys to listen up! The battalion-level simulated confrontation that is about to start is not for fun with you! If anyone can't climb the stage at a critical moment, don't blame me for not giving face when the time comes! Get out! Idle of you! ”

With the dual control of the system and financial resources, Ye Fu is now increasingly authoritative in the dangerous mountain army.

Although this kind of authority is not yet too firmly rooted, it is enough to deter the people below.

Seeing that he lost his temper, no one dared to say half a word more.

After a while, a large area of gray slippery exit, Ye Fu beckoned Xu Gaozhuo and Wang Zhi who stayed to the next room to sit down.

"I must recruit this group of Portuguese soldiers, and what we are lacking now is such experienced and methodical instructors. Moreover, the red-coated cannon a few days ago, the Ordnance Department did not go very well, and it has not been found out until now. Just right, ask them to come and teach together. ”

As soon as Ye Fu's words came out, it was equivalent to setting the tone.

Although Wang Zhi is more pedantic in his thinking, he has the same concept as many officials in the court who think that Yangyi is not credible. But since Ye Fu said it, he couldn't spend a penny of the imperial court after all, and it was all supported by the profits of the commercial houses that Xu Pingong and Wang Xing had made outside, so he was unwilling to take care of it. In terms of energy, it shouldn't cost much.

Just like what Ye Fu just said, not to mention that he hired Western instructors, even if he bought a hundred or so Western monkeys, as long as the dangerous mountain defense line was stable, who could really do anything to Ye Fu?

It's a big deal to say that he's a plaything!

But the military attaché, doesn't he just like to tease the eagle and the dog? likes to play, in the military attaché, it is definitely a harmless thing.
