Zhao Dangshi failed to see Huaqing after all. It's not because Zhu Yiming blocked it, in fact, the relationship between Zhao Dangshi and Huaqing is also known to few people in Zhao Ying, Zhu Yiming only thought that Zhao Dangshi wanted to see Huaqing and reminisce.

"The temperature has changed in the past few days, Huaqing has not been infected with Xiaohan, and has been lying on the couch to recuperate, it is Xiao Wang who has not taken good care ......of it," Zhu Yiming rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassed, "Just now Xiao Wang also asked the dog to invite, she is really difficult to come, Xiao Wang is not reluctant, Lord Zhao forgive me." ”

How can Zhao Dangshi say anything more, just promise.

Out of the Xiangwang Mansion, Zhao Dangshi felt very lost, looked at Lian Zhi who was standing on his side and shivering in the wind, and said in a harmonious voice: "Is it cold?" So saying, he took off his robe and put it on her.

Lian Zhi shook her head, Nanyin gentle: "Daddy, don't take off your robe, slaves don't ...... cold" and lowered her head with a little shame, "It's just that the slave slave has been sick recently, and he has caused some hypocrisy to make Daddy bother, and he deserves death." "Ming customs inherited from the Song and Yuan dynasties, and slaves and maids often called their masters "daddy" to show obedience and intimacy.

Zhao Dangshi understood what she meant, nodded and said, "I suffered you first on the road, and after you go back, someone in the camp will take care of you." While speaking, he was absent-minded, and all that lingered in his mind was Huaqing's voice and smile. He was a little melancholy, and then he had some suspicions, wondering if Hua Qing was deliberately avoiding himself, and even sending Lian Zhi over had no deep meaning? It's hard to explain these things now. Today is not the time, Zhao Dangshi made up his mind, and after a while, he needs to come to Xiangwang's Mansion again.

After the frost falls, it is officially late autumn. "Frost kills grass", the climate cools down suddenly, the grass and trees gradually wither, and the light yellow slowly becomes the main color of the four fields, and the world is depressed. However, for Zhao Ying and Zhao Dangshi himself, the period from the end of September to the beginning of October can be called full of prosperity.

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, on the second day of October after the Winter Clothes Festival, Zhao Dangshi bathed and changed clothes, and led the main army in the camp to set up an altar in front of the main hall of the military affairs office of Fanhe City, which was basically completed, to kneel and welcome the holy decree. The holy decree is divided into two ways, a letter to praise Zhao Ying's courage and various gifts; An edict was issued in the private tone of Emperor Chongzhen to express his appreciation and praise for Zhao Dangshi himself.

Judging from the content of the edict, the news revealed by Chen Hongfan is very reliable. The most important part of the edict is the canonization of official positions. In the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, the identity of an official was indicated by an official, a position, a mission, and a lord. The official rank is the official rank, the actual exercise of power is determined, the temporary affairs are dispatched, and the lord shows grace.

Zhao Dangshi's original official position was called "Qincha Assist Guarding Xiangyang Nanyang Lutoudian Staff General, Andong Zhong Guards Commander Servant", after breaking back and Cao Erying, he was awarded the title of "Qincha Town Guarding Yunyang Xiangyang, Hanging the Thief Pioneer General Seal, Chief Military Officer, Former Military Governor's Mansion Zuodu Tongzhi". Among them, "Qincha Town Guards Yunyang Xiangyang" and "Chief Military Officer" are posts; From the first product, the "former military governor's mansion, the left governor of the same knowledge" is an official; "Hanging the seal of the thief vanguard general" can be regarded as a dispatch, responsible for continuing the crusade against the rogues in northern Chu.

The official position itself is actually not within the scope of Zhao Dangshi's attention, and what he values more is the importance of the imperial court to himself as measured by the granting of official positions.

Let's start with "General Soldiers". In essence, the general army of the Ming Dynasty belonged to the category of dispatch, but now it has basically completed the localization and officialization, and it can also be regarded as a post. From the point of view of status, if we talk about the three posts of deputy general, staff general, and guerrilla, they are all divided by duties, and their status is actually about the same, but the general army is different, and it is recognized that they are above these three posts. From this point of view, Zhao Dangshi was not only promoted, but also promoted. According to the functions and powers, the general army is divided into such categories as conscription, town guarding, training troops to patrol the border, patrolling the sea and preparing for the Japanese, shipping, water transportation, and river defense. Zhao Dangshi's position is in "Qincha Town Guarding Yunyang Xiangyang", that is, he belongs to the general army of the town guard, referred to as the general army of Yunxiang. In terms of numbers, there are countless adjutant generals, staff generals, and guerrillas, but the setting of the general army is very cautious, and it can be pointed out one by one. Especially in the hinterland, the general troops of a province can usually be counted on one hand, and these general troops actually divide up the defense work of the whole province, and their status is transcendent. Huguang originally had a general army of Huguang, and the general army of "Qincha Town Guarding Yunyang and Xiangyang" had never been there before, which shows that this was specially set up temporarily by the imperial court for Zhao Dangshi. Although it is not uncommon to set up additional troops since the Apocalypse and Chongzhen, it also shows that the DPRK and China trust and attach importance to Zhao Dangshi to maintain the stability of northern Chu.

Let's talk about "hanging the seal of the thief vanguard general". It was a bonus. In the Ming Dynasty, the general seal was generally assigned to the general army, and there was the meaning of the meritorious position in it, but it was withdrawn, and only those with heavier powers had it, and those with light powers had no seal. For example, when Chen Hongfan was the main general in Chongzhen's tenth year and led the troops to rescue North Korea, he hung the seal of "General Pinglu", and for example, Zuo Liangyu, the general soldier of the current reinforcement and suppression, also hung a "General Ping" seal in Henan. This time, Zhao Dangshi was additionally awarded the seal of "Thief Pioneer General", and his heart of relying on encouragement was fully revealed.

In addition, there is also "the former military governor's mansion and the left governor of the same knowledge". This is not so important, the matching of official and post status is a rule since ancient times, to achieve the level of the general army, the original such as "Andong Zhong Guards Commander Command" such a local governor can not continue to serve concurrently, can only be promoted to subordinate to the five military governor's office. The Zhonghu Guangdu Division of the Five Military Governor's Mansion was placed under the jurisdiction of the former Military Governor's Office, and Zhao Dangshi was also subordinate to it.

In addition to Zhao Dangshi, Hou Dagui was awarded the title of "General of the Qincha Assistant-Shou Xiangyang Nanyang Lutoudian" to take Zhao Dangshi's previous position; Xu Hui broke Cao's camp merit and was awarded the title of "Guerrilla General in Qincha, Zaoyang and Other Places". At least at this moment, these two people with very different personalities showed the most similar excitement and joy. The rest of the generals also had more or less rewards.

When the lieutenant heard that it came from Wang Chengen, Zhao Dangshi naturally did not dare to slack off, carefully served and took care of him before and after the reward, and offered generous gifts, and the lieutenant official was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth, and even praised Zhao Dangshi for his "loyalty and dedication". The matter of contacting Yang Sichang is yellow, and the road of reaching the sky is still slowly far away, although he does not expect this little lieutenant to help anything, but the road must be taken step by step, and every step is the most basic requirement that Zhao Dangshi gives himself.

A few days later, Jing Keqin, Hui Dengxiang, Chu Xidi, and Wang Long, who had been captured in the course of fighting against the Hui and Cao Second Battalions, were all punished for the crime of treason, and they were all considered to be abandoned outside Xiangyang City. This matter has long been settled, Zhao Dangshi didn't particularly care, and just let Pang Jinming go to the outside of Xiangyang City in private and witness it among the onlookers. Hearing that the four of them were dressed in prison clothes and cloak and knelt down waiting for the beheading, Jing, Hui, and Wang all knelt silently, only one person was hysterical, shouting "Zhao Dangshi plots rebellion", as if crazy, and the moment the head hits the ground, the lips are still slowly moving like a carp, which is both funny and sad.

The dust settled on the two things in advance, and Zhao Dangshi then turned his energy to military reform. It is one thing for the imperial court to give a reward, and it is another thing for the army structure of the Zhao battalion. If the Zhao battalion wants to continue to operate in an orderly manner, it must also implement its own military system.

This round of military reform was carried out on the basis of the original structure. The main body is divided into three categories.

First, to supplement the three infantry battalions.

The three battalions of Wuyu, Xiaojie, and Qihun had all suffered losses in officers and soldiers in the previous series of battles.

There was no battalion, because Qin Qigong was transferred to preside over the affairs of Zaoyang County, and the post of counselor and overseer was filled by the general Wang Guangtai. In addition, a rear post was added, and Chang Guoan served as the sentinel officer. The number of troops in the battalion was 2,000.

The performance of the battalion, the loss is not large, the original establishment is basically unchanged, only one post is added, and the general Wang Guoning is appointed as the sentinel. The number of troops in the battalion was 2,000.

The camp was raised, the loss was the greatest, and the outpost officer Jing Keqin was beheaded, and the captain of the outpost was made up by Ha Mingyuan, the captain of the outpost. Song Houzhen, the left sentinel officer, was killed in battle, and Wang Guangen, a demoted general, was appointed to make up for it. In addition, a rear post was added, and Yang Youxian, a general, was appointed as the sentinel officer. The number of troops in the battalion was 2,000.

Second, split the one-horse barracks.

In the battles with Hui and Cao, the largest number of captured horses were horses, as many as six or seven thousand, and hundreds of familiar riders from the battalion were captured. The horses are carefully selected and Zhao Yingyuan is original, and more than 4,000 good products can be obtained. The Ma Army was the focus of the army, Hou Dagui and others discussed back and forth many times, and finally Zhao Dangshi made a decision and divided the Feijie battalion into two, divided into the Feijie left battalion and the Feijie right battalion. In this way, compared with the original horse battalion, it is like two hands in life, and they can help each other and cooperate with each other, and they are more flexible and protect the whole army.

Feijie left battalion, Cheng Feijie battalion original system, Han Gon is the commander of the battalion, Cui Shuqiang is the middle officer, Yang Zhaofeng is the counselor and overseer, the left sentry officer Meng Aocao, and the right sentry officer Hu Keshou. After the battalion is replenished, the number of troops is 1,000, and the standard is one person and two horses.

Feijie's right battalion was newly established, and the general Ma Guangchun was reduced to the commander of the battalion, and the general was allowed to become a middle officer, Zhao Chenglin was the counselor and overseer, the left sentry officer was reduced to Ma Guangning, and the right sentry officer was reduced to Guan San'er. After the battalion is replenished, the number of troops is 1,000, and the standard is one person and two horses.

Others once expressed their worries with the words "Guangchun descends to the general, it is unpredictable on the outside, how can he pay the heavy responsibility", but Zhao Dangshi thought very clearly about this matter. There is no suspicion in employing people, Ma Guangchun is talented and arrogant, if he does not give him the greatest trust, it will be difficult to drive him to serve him if he compares his heart with his heart. Therefore, Zhao Dangshi not only promoted him to the commander, but also did not shy away from the taboo of transferring his younger brother Ma Guangning and the house slave Guan San'er to him, which was the same as the way he treated Qin Jinxiao at the beginning. Compared with the violent Qin Jinxiao, Ma Guangchun is more calm and capable, and Zhao Dangshi is not worried about his approach.

Third, increase the number of two tuntian camps.

The total number of soldiers trapped and surrendered by Wang Guangen and other troops was more than 10,000, and there were still 8,000 after the turnip was removed, and 6,000 were left after replenishing the needs of each outpost. All of them were included in the Tuntian Army. The Tuntian Army originally had two battalions at the front and rear, with 3,000 men per battalion, and now two battalions on the left and right, each with 3,000 men.

Tuntian Zuoying, Tuntian made Zhang Guangcuihu Guangjunzhou people, Lin Chengcheng general, Lin Chengcheng fled to Zhao Ying with his partner after his death, Zhao Dangshi felt his righteousness and conferred his position. The main book of Tuntian is Huang Fan, a local student in Zaoyang, and his family was killed by Cao Ying, hidden in the firewood for several days without eating or drinking, and was rescued by Zhao Ying, so he entered Zhao Ying.

Tuntian right camp, Tuntian made Zhang Jingchun Lake Guangjingmen people, also Lin Cheng general, and Zhang Guangcui with Zhao Ying was used. Wang Yifu, the chief bookkeeper of Tuntian, was exiled in Sichuan, why is he afraid of recommending him to serve.

At the initiative of Wang Laixing, the former camp of Tuntian was slightly restructured. The 3,000 men were trained in shifts for every 1,000 men, with one shift training lasting half a month, while the other two shifts were still involved in other operations during the period, and the whole battalion was used as a reserve for the soldiers. In this way, it can not only relieve the pressure of support, but also avoid the problem of insufficient training caused by excessive number of people and shift rotation. Therefore, the former camp of Tuntian can be directly named "training camp".

As the number of instructors increases, there is also a need for more instructors, but there is also a need for the expansion of the soldiers. Ge Haishan was having a headache, but Zhang Guangcui raised Liu Xiyao's old general Liu Shijun, who was still in prison, to Wang Laixing. Wang Laixing brought him in for inspection, and felt that this person still had some ability, so he applied to Zhao Dangshi for an important person. The camp is mainly on business, Zhao Dangshi chatted with Liu Shijun, and also thought it was available, so Liu Shijun was lucky to escape, and changed shops to work with Luo Wei to be responsible for the drill work of the training camp.

The general contents of the military reform were drawn up at the end of September, and Wang Laixing, Hou Dagui, and others were in charge, and the overall work was carried out in early October. On the fifth day of October, Zhao Dangshi, who was discussing with Qin Qigong in Zaoyang County, received a letter from Chen Hongfan, saying that Su Gaozhao had set off.
