24 Turbid Wine (4)

Three days after leaving Zhaoying, Yang Zhaofeng returned. is slightly different from what he imagined, Yang Zhaofeng didn't even see Zhang Xianzhong's face this time.

Zhang Kewang took Yang Zhaofeng around the mountains for a day, and after meeting with a person halfway, he apologized to inform Yang Zhaofeng that Zhang Xianzhong still had important matters at hand, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to withdraw from the reception in three or two days. Yang Zhaofeng heard the song and knew the meaning of elegance, no longer stayed, immediately said goodbye, and returned to the camp. The only result was a message: Zhang Xianzhong invited Zhao Dangshi to "drink and catch up" five days later in Fangcheng Mountain, northeast of Zhushan County.

No matter what Zhang Xianzhong's purpose was for not seeing Yang Zhaofeng, Zhao Dangshi took this and pressed it for the time being. The matter is divided into internal and external, Zhang Xianzhong This is a foreign matter, how to deal with it, and when it comes to the point, I will see the move. Zhao Ying's military affairs are internal affairs, and they are the top priority at the moment.

In troubled times, fists are always the foundation of life. Zhao Battalion experienced several months of hardship, although it finally arrived in Huguang Yunyang, but the whole battalion was riddled with holes, and its combat effectiveness was very weak. In this era of division of the heroes, if Zhao Ying wants to win the Ming Ding in Huguang with the heroes, his strength needs to be restored urgently.

Recovery cannot be achieved overnight, and it will take time to settle down, but the guiding guidelines and plans can be taken first. There are still five days left before meeting Zhang Xianzhong, and Zhao Dangshi doesn't want to waste this precious time in vain.

Regarding military affairs, as always, the first point that Zhao Dangshi focused on was the military system.

Nearly a year has passed since the recent reorganization of Baocheng, during which the Zhao battalion has been expanded, wounded, re-expanded, and re-wounded, and the composition of the army has been very loose. Regardless of the fact that the personnel and equipment of the Tsing Yi Army under Mao'an Dong's hand are extremely uneven, it is said that there are less than 500 people left in the left battalion of the old army, Wu Mingfeng's army, and these 500 people are dead and chaotic, and there is even a situation where the people under the hands of a hundred generals are less than a captain. If you want to really fight, to be honest, it doesn't make much difference whether you have these five hundred or not.

Zhao Ying's family background is thin, and Zhao Dangshi will never allow the situation of soldiers floating on food. With 500 percent of the formed and combat-ready troops and 5,000 rabble, he would choose the former without hesitation. Therefore, the reorganization and deployment of the troops is the most important thing.

There are still 10,000 soldiers left in the Zhao battalion who insisted on leaving Sichuan to go here, and Zhao Dangshi discussed with Chang Zeyu, Hou Dagui and other middle and high-ranking military officials all night, and finally drew up the preliminary framework of the Zhao battalion military system.

First of all, the soldiers in the battalion are divided into three armies and one battalion. The three armies, no army, effective army, and unarmed army.

There is no army, changed from the original old army, but the responsibilities assumed remain the same, it is not only the old soldier of Zhao Ying, it is directly under the jurisdiction of Zhao Dangshi, and it is also the backbone of the battle. The general soldier is Hou Dagui, and the army is Qin Qigong and Zhang Miaoshou. Hou Dagui and Qin Qigong succeeded to their original positions, while Zhang Miaoshou was deliberately arranged by Zhao Dangshi. Today, Zhang Miaoshou's original power has been almost digested by Zhao Ying, and his influence is decreasing day by day. And this person is "wise and wise", although he has served in the army for a long time, he has done nothing, Zhao Dangshi does not want him to continue to eat in the corpse, and he knows that with the strength of Hou Dagui and Qin Qigong, he will never allow a third party to interfere in the decision-making of the battalion, so he is completely empty to join the army, and he is directly empty. Zhang Miaoshou himself has a bright heart and is silent, he has no business in the camp, no power and no power, so no one cares about his "ascension", let alone speaks for him.

The number of troops in the army is 5,000, divided into four battalions: front, left, right and rear. Among them, there are 2,000 people in the front battalion, which is the main force, and Li Yanyi serves as the general manager. Through this arrangement, Zhao Dangshi fulfilled his promise. Li Yanyi is a rare talent in Zhao Ying's current life, and his generosity is one of the best among the generals of Zhao Ying's age group, so it is safe for him to continue to be in charge of logistics, but it will limit the further development of his talents. Zhao Dangshi prides himself on seeing people very accurately, and he believes that Li Yanyi was born on the battlefield. Only on the battlefield does there a chance to burst into a more blazing flame.

After receiving the appointment, Li Yanyi was excited. He doesn't deliberately hide his emotions like many people, so, in front of everyone's eyes, a tear crossed the corner of his eye. It's just that he is standing in the front row, and there are still less than five people who can see him crying in front of him, except for Zhao Dangshi.

There are 1,000 people in the left battalion and 1,000 in the right battalion, and Wu Mingfeng and Xiong Wanjian continue to serve as the commanders. And Bai Wang, who was originally Xiong Wanjian's deputy and served as the staff officer of the right battalion, was promoted to the general manager of the rear battalion. Bai Wang's character Zhao Dangshi also knows very well, meticulous, and sometimes even a little unreasonable. More than one person has said Bai Wangtai in front of Zhao Dangshi. But Zhao Dangshi never thought so, because in private, Zhao Dangshi had also been in contact with Bai Wang, thinking that although he was boring, he was humble and polite, and he was not a person who liked to raise the bar. Therefore, from this point of view, the reason why he is criticized is completely responsible. This kind of conduct is especially useful when managing a back-camp with a variety of relationships and a chaotic and logistically oriented back.

By the way, it was Chang Zeyu's idea to change the name of the old army. He is well-read, and for the first time since he joined the company, he has participated in the transformation of Zhao Ying, so he is very involved in this matter. He believes that no matter how you behave and do things, you should be "the same as what you look and do", because starting from his theory, Zhao Ying has great ambitions, so at least from the military number, you should first abandon those names with a strong atmosphere of rivers and lakes, such as "Lao Ben" and "Tsing Yi", which are completely out of his eyes.

He came up with the word "Wuyi", which was taken from the poem "Carrying the army and horses to fight without a battle, and crushing the several columns of marquis" in Yuan Fu's "Mengzhai Collection" in the Song Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, Yue Fei had a strong army "Beiwei Army" and was invincible, and he chose "Wuyi" to oppose it, showing his high hopes for Zhao Ying. And the three words "Wuwu Army" are pronounced with the close pronunciation of "Wu Worry Army", which is similar to the elite "trouble-relieving soldiers" of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms.

The army was born from the original army, and the general soldier Xu Hui and the army became as always. The whole army was 3,000 people, divided into two battalions. There are 2,000 people in the front battalion, and Qin Jinxiao, the general manager of the thousands, except for the change from the left battalion of the first army to the front battalion of the effective army, the personnel and establishment of other divisions and teams have not changed. This is an outlier in the reorganization of the whole army, and it is also a privilege given to Qin Jinxiao by Zhao Dangshi. The structure of his army is special, and the disadvantages of dispersal outweigh the advantages, and purely from the perspective of Qin Jinxiao, Zhao Dangshi can imagine that if his troops are moved, with his strong character, it is very likely that he will make some radical reactions. For Qin Jinxiao, a "beast", Zhao Dangshi once said in private that "wild and untamable" four words, controlling this kind of people, blindly resisting and suppressing will only backfire, and tenderness and guidance are the best policies. At least for now, Zhao Dangshi is not worried that Qin Jinxiao will get out of his control.

There are 1,000 people in the back camp, and the east of the Mao'an is arranged for the head of a thousand. Mao Andong once temporarily served as the "chief soldier", but firstly, he himself did not attach much importance to fame and fortune, and secondly, he also knew that his original position was false, and in the final analysis, he was still on the periphery of Zhao Ying's power circle. In terms of status, if it weren't for Hu Jiusi, Liang Shizheng, Yang San, etc., who all died unexpectedly in one day, as a second-tier junior brother, he would not be qualified to be on an equal footing with a well-known Dakou of Zhao Dangshi or even Jing Keqin, so Zhao Dangshi gave him a thousand presidents, which was actually very face-saving.

Speaking of which, it was Xu Hui who took the initiative to ask Zhao Dangshi to want Mao Andong. Although Xu Hui is silent, he is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he is very righteous and emotional. When he saw Mao Andong's recklessness, he would think of Hao Shaoqi for no reason. Even if he does not have a close relationship with Hao Shaoqi, Mao Andong has a little shadow of Hao Shaoqi, although it is not deep, it does not prevent him from having a natural good feeling.

The word "effect festival" is also from Chang Zeyu, which comes from the "silver spear effect festival" of Yang Shihou, the general of Liang five generations later. Liang Shihou died in the post of Wei Bo Jiedu envoy, and after Li Cunmiao of Tang Zhuangzong destroyed Wei Bo, he placed this army under his command as a pro-army, and defeated the Liang army in the Battle of Huliupi, in order to finally destroy Liang Dingding. Chang Zeyu not only likes the loyalty contained in the word "Xiaojie", but also has the heart to compare Zhaoying's army to a strong army that is invincible and defends the old capital like the former Xiaojiedu.

Qihun Army is a new army set up outside the Wuyu Army and the Xiaojie Army, with 2,000 people under its jurisdiction, the general army is Guo Ruke, and the army is Yang Zhaofeng. Guo Ruke thus became the pillar of the camp alongside Hou Dagui and Xu Hui. This arrangement was not unexpected by everyone. Because before, Zhao Dangshi has more than once revealed his intention to promote Guo Ruke, and Guo Ruke really lives up to his expectations, and has fought many bloody battles, and his ability is undoubted, and this son is convincing. But Yang Zhaofeng's side has attracted a lot of criticism. There is no other reason, before this, Yang Zhaofeng, who was punished for his crimes, was only a captain who did not enter the stream, even if he used to be a middle and high-level general, but from a mere captain, he became the number two person in the first army in a blink of an eye, and it was inevitable that he would be promoted too quickly. Moreover, although the post of joining the army does not have actual military power, it bears important responsibilities such as assisting the commander-in-chief in making decisions and supervising order in the army. Looking at the other two armies, Qin Qigong who joined the army without the army, and Qin Qigong, who joined the army, are all old and respectful, and now Yang Zhaofeng is only in his early twenties, so he has taken on such a responsibility, and it is difficult for people to be convinced.

Zhao Dangshi has his considerations.

First, he has the intention to promote Yang Zhaofeng. This is well known, not only because of his brother Yang Chengfu's repatronage, but also because Yang Zhaofeng himself is pure-minded and has the style of a general. Human abilities can be cultivated and strengthened in the background, but quality comes from nature, and is shaped at a young age and continues throughout life. The so-called "the country is easy to change and the nature is difficult to change", Zhao Dangshi employs people, ability is still in a secondary position, and what he values most is people's character. Although Yang Zhaofeng was born in a reckless background, he has a bit of a meaning of "getting out of the mud without staining". This unusualness is his biggest shining point.

Second, Yang Zhaofeng's ability is not bad. This ability is not the ability to deal with people, but the ability to learn. Zhao Dangshi is not blind, from the eighth year of Chongzhen to this year, Yang Zhaofeng has grown from a young boy who has little to do and is confused to a general who can take on great responsibilities, and this growth rate is very amazing. Behind the rapid growth, it is inseparable from Yang Zhaofeng's diligent efforts, and it is also inseparable from the excellent talent he has. Zhao Dangshi has always believed that marching and fighting requires talent. Some people, after a lifetime of fighting, will eventually capsize in the gutter; And some people, their natural acuity will guide them to take the initiative to bypass some traps and find the optimal solution to the solution at the lowest cost. There is a peculiarity in marching and fighting, and every attempt at it has to take the lives of oneself or even hundreds of people. From the point of view of such high costs, people with combat talent are undoubtedly the most valuable assets of this period. In Zhao Dangshi's heart, Yang Zhaofeng is a person with such excellent qualifications and talents.

Third, the original intention of setting up the Hun Army was to form a group of sharp soldiers who dared to fight and fight. On the contrary, looking at the Wuqi Army and the Xiaojie Army, the number of both armies exceeds that of the Qihun Army, which does give people the feeling of being the backbone, but this is only a shield and only armor, with more than enough protection and insufficient progress. Zhao Dangshi also needed a spear, a sharp and even somewhat arrogant spear. The army needs vitality, and the combination of conservatism and progress is like a combination of yin and yang, so that the whole army can advance and retreat and defend. The two armies of Wuyu and Xiaojie, the chief soldiers Hou Dagui and Xu Hui are all over 35 years old, and the staff officers Qin Qigong and Zhang Miaoshou are even more than 40 years old. This may not seem like a big age, but in an army that is in dire need of a new life, it is not young. Zhao Dangshi was born in the thirty-seventh year of Wanli, and he just stood this year, so with him as a yardstick, those over thirty years old in the camp are counted as old people, and those under thirty years old are considered young people. Guo Ruke is twenty-eight years old and Yang Zhaofeng is twenty-four years old, and the combination of these two is undoubtedly the youngest of the three armies. Moreover, the two of them, one is crazy and the other is soft and strong, and their cooperation with each other can not only maintain the vitality of the army, but also ensure the stability of order, which is very appropriate. As a sharp knife figure in the sharp knife army, if he still has a conservative attitude, he will never be able to meet Zhao Dangshi's original expectations.

Under the protection of Zhao Dangshi, Yang Zhaofeng seemed to be taking office in a dream, he never thought that he could be so loved by treating his sinful body, and he was inevitably uneasy under gratitude. I feel even more ashamed to see the jealous or disdainful glances of my colleagues around me. Fortunately, Guo Ruke himself supported him and had no objection to his partner. With the bullet pressure of Zhao Dangshi and Guo Ruke, the dissatisfied voices in the camp naturally lowered. However, many of them must have opened their eyes and focused on Yang Zhaofeng's stubble to find him, Yang Zhaofeng climbed into the position of joining the army with the support of the coach, but whether he can sit firmly or not depends on his future creation.

The Qihun army was divided into two battalions, both with a quota of 1,000 people. The former battalion is full of general Jing Keqin, and the staff officer Cui Shuqiang. Jing Keqin didn't have to say that he was not only a big brother-level figure in Sichuan, but also had the merit of leading the crowd to surrender and attack and kill Yuan Tao, giving him a thousand generals, neither high nor low, just right. Cui Shuqiang is similar to Yang Zhaofeng, and he was also promoted by leapfrogging. The people in the camp didn't gossip much about his rocket promotion. He was not responsible for his crimes, and he had a lot of meritorious service, and when he insisted on following Yang Zhaofeng and being willing to be a deputy captain, there were still people who complained about his grievances, and he was famous for his fierceness and arrogance, and no one would go to him for his unhappiness.

Song Hou Zhen, the general manager of the rear camp, was changed from a staff officer next to Guo Ruke to a deputy because of his merits. Staff officer Yang Kexin is a meritorious service and a commendation.

The above are the main three armies of the Zhao battalion. There are a total of 10,000 people, of which all the rest of the troops are mainly responsible for operations, except for the rear battalion of the Wuqi Army, which is mainly responsible for logistics.

In addition to the three armies, the field troops also have the Feijie battalion, the horse army is 1,200, and there is still a general army, and Han Gon is in charge. Meng Aocao and Lian Buxin have not changed for thousands of people.

The rest of the Family Care Division, the Special Service Division, the Inspection Division, the Coaching Division, the Internal Affairs Division, and the Money and Grain Division remain unchanged as usual, and the later Municipal Shipping Division is collectively referred to as the "Seven Divisions".

The above is the framework of Zhao Ying's military reform, which Zhao Dangshi has roughly, and the specific implementation can not be completed in a short time. Therefore, for the current Zhao Ying, it is imminent to seek a stable environment, develop carefully, and recuperate. In this regard, Chang Zeyu and others worked hard to draw up many plans, but Zhao Dangshi felt that they were not very reliable. But he didn't panic in his heart, because he knew that whether Zhao Ying could be stable or not depended on anything else, it all depended on the meeting with Zhang Xianzhong a few days later.
