Tang Yuan's troops came to Jingzhou and took over Cao Dingbang's more than 80,000 people, and the related affairs were complicated, and the secretaries were very busy.

Before doing the handover work, Tang Yuan imagined many accidents, and he never regarded this matter as a simple matter. Tang Yuan, Chen Bao, and Nalan Xin entered the city to hand over, and Tang Hu and Ma Ben's troops were stationed outside the city to wait for the day, and there was no ambiguity.

Cao Dingbang is quite reliable, at least he first killed Zhao Guangyan, the director of the Jingzhou garrison, and also killed some of the general-level supervisors, and the other supervisors all claimed to support the emperor to overthrow the queen mother and support Cao Dingbang to go to Huainan, this part of the people Cao Dingbang did not move, maintaining a delicate balance. In order to hand over, he can be regarded as having done a lot of work, but he is not a good person, and the hand of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle has allowed him to play to the extreme, and when he left Xiangcheng, he took away more than a thousand officers, leaving Tang Yuan with some unstable factors.

For this reason, the third general, Tang Hu, had a lot of complaints, pointing to the direction where Cao Dingbang left, and scolded.

Tang Yuan said to Tang Hu: "The reason why the Cao family group is willing to give up Jingzhou is not that they are willing to do this, but that they have to give it up. Otherwise, the emperor will be forced to join forces with Tang Zhen, and then the Cao family will have nothing left. Now that the Cao family has ceded Jingzhou and the Flying Tiger Army to the emperor, the emperor naturally has no intention of moving the Cao family again. ”

Tang Hu said sullenly: "You mean, the emperor likes Cao Shengbei very much?" Do you still treat him as an uncle? ”

Tang Yuan said: "I mean not for the time being. ”

Tang Hu scolded: "Cao Dingbang, this kid walks fast, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to let him take those people away." The officers were all taken away, leaving us with this big mess and let's comb it from scratch, too much trouble. ”

Tang Yuan waved his hand and said: "Actually, Cao Dingbang is also right to do this, if it were me, I would do the same." Some old subordinates have been cultivated for many years and are reluctant to leave it behind. He took all the officers with him, and he could expand his military strength at any time, and he ensured that the command of the troops would not be left behind. It's just that...... This turtle calf sucked away a thousand officers at once, and it was ruthless enough. These 1,000 people are the backbone of the Flying Tiger Army. ”

Tang Yuan was a little distressed, but he didn't panic: "But we don't have to be too angry, after all, I won't reuse all of these people if they stay, at least half of them will be eliminated." Because they are not my people at all, I don't feel comfortable using them. This kind of re-selection of officers also has disadvantages and advantages for me. ”

"Humph! But Lao Tzu was still very angry. Tang Hu shook his head and waved his big hand, "Forget it, it's not okay for me to be angry like this, it will make the fat man angry with me, so I'm going to go to the biggest restaurant in Xiangcheng to find a few beautiful girls to defeat the fire." ”

"Get out! I didn't expect you to help me take over the troops. Get out of here, go find your pretty girl! ”

handed over all the meticulous work to Nalan Xin to do, and handed over the discipline of the army to Chen Bao and Tang Cheng to manage, Tang Yuan only grasped one thing at this time - the construction of the officer system in the army.

The handover with Cao Dingbang was basically smooth, because Cao Dingbang was in a hurry to leave, and after he left, Tang Yuan divided the remaining officers into three categories and six sub-categories for hierarchical management.

The first is to thoroughly clean up the Flying Tiger Military Supervision Corps.

After the Flying Tiger Army Commander's Corps was dismantled by Cao Dingbang, there were still division, brigade, and regimental superintendents, and the size of the superintendent corps ranged from dozens to hundreds, adding up to nearly 6,000 people.

Most of these prison troops are in the line of the Queen Mother, but even so, they can still be subdivided, the royal family, the Min family, the Meng family, and the Xuanjia meritorious department.

Nine divisions, 27 brigades, 81 regular regiments, and a number of non-staff regiments.

"Call me all the prison guards, I'm going to have a meeting."

At this time, the supervisors at all levels seemed to be panicked, and some of them felt that they could not be hired at all, and they were also worried about being arrested by Tang Yuan, so they simply left the army.

The rest of these people, almost every one of them wrote one or more letters to the emperor, expressing their loyalty to the emperor and saying that they had completely drawn a line with the empress dowager, and they got the emperor's reply, so they could be regarded as getting a gold medal for avoiding death (Emperor Zhide's desk documents are piled up, most of them are from this group of people), and now, they are honestly waiting in the army, some are willing to take care of things, and they also help Tang Yuan grasp the discipline of the army and actively cooperate with the integration work.

For those prison soldiers who ran away, Tang Yuan didn't have time to deal with them at all, just dealing with this group of prison soldiers who stayed behind was enough for Tang Yuan to worry about it.

The imperial family is a superintendent of the army, and most of them are surnamed Zhao, which is a characteristic of the Great Liang Dynasty, and it seems that nothing like this has happened in other dynasties.

In fact, every dynasty has to face a difficult problem, that is, the placement of the princes and grandchildren, many dynasties due to the large number of wives married by the royal family, gave birth to a lot of children, such as King Jing of Zhongshan in the Han Dynasty, gave birth to so many descendants of the royal family, either became a burden on the court, or slowly reduced to cloth, but in the Liang Dynasty, the princes and grandchildren had another choice, they could go to the queen mother to report, and then go to the army as a supervisor.

These people are often not very scary, because they are not carefully selected and competent, so their abilities are often not good. Otherwise, when Zhao Guangda died, the Queen Mother would not be so sad. I have to say that Director Zhao's ability is still obvious to all.

"All the children of the imperial family, the Flying Tiger Army will be retained, and I will submit your list to the emperor, so that the emperor can reformulate your level of supervision army."

General Tang said a word, and the hearts of all the royal family supervisors present were completely put down, and they were all relieved and smiling.

Tang Yuan waved his hand, and the group left with a smile, looking at the way they walked, Tang Yuan was not very satisfied, because they didn't look like soldiers.

Tang Yuan suddenly shouted: "Don't go back yet, let Zhang Ga lead you to report to Chen Bao's troops, and participate in Deputy Marshal Chen's military training for three months." In the future, when you walk, you must have the style of a soldier. The head should be raised, the waist should be straight, if anyone can't do this, you can retreat as soon as possible, and I will send you a coil to go home. ”

After dealing with the children of the royal family, you will have to face the Min family, the Meng family and the Xuanjia meritorious department.

It is not difficult to understand that the Min family used to be a cross-river soldier, and they were from the same background as Cao Dingbang. Empress Dowager Cao believed in Min Yue, so she naturally believed in Min Yue's subordinates and let them be the supervisors, and the Empress Dowager could rest assured. Now that the Queen Mother has fallen, Min Yue has lost power, and the Min prison army has become a motherless child, who looks depressed and unable to lift his spirits. Some of them have run away, and now there are not a few people left, roughly counting only a dozen, Tang Yuan decided to talk to them one by one, deciding whether they would stay or go.

After dealing with the Min system, it is time to face the Meng system.

What's going on with the Meng family? Didn't the Meng family rebel? Can the remnants of their party be used as prison guards?
