In the middle of April of the first year of Xuanhe, under the command of Zheng Fei, relying on the sudden rebellion of the Qishan army, the Tiandao army and the Qishan army were caught off guard by the Great Song Dynasty, and in a short time they occupied Jingdong Road, Jingdong West Road, Huainan East Road, Huainan West Road, Liangzhejiang Road, Jiangnan West Road, Jiangnan East Road, Fujian Road and most of the East and West East Road, at this time the total strength of the Tiandao Army has reached more than 700,000, dominating the Nine Roads, with a total population of nearly 40 million!

For the Great Song Dynasty, Zheng Fei originally wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and smash Tokyo, but at this time, the Great Song Dynasty, which had already reacted and was forced to a dead end, began to frantically transfer troops and generals, regardless of the safety of the Liaoxia border, and transferred the Beijing Forbidden Army, the Hebei Forbidden Army, the Northwest Forbidden Army and almost all the southern armies to the front line, posing as if they were going to fight to the death. At the same time, because the people in the inland of the Great Song Dynasty did not know about the Heavenly Dao Army, and under the deliberate slander of the Song Dynasty, they thought that the Heavenly Dao Army was a group of thieves who killed people without blinking an eye and did all kinds of evil, and they also spontaneously began to organize themselves to resist the Heavenly Dao Army and the Qishan Army.

At the end of April, under Zheng Fei's order, all the senior generals of the Tiandao Army and the Qishan Army gathered in Jiangning Mansion to discuss major matters.

Although in the battle of more than a month, the officers and men of the two armies have fought side by side countless times, but this is the first time that the formal gathering is not a simple gathering, this is a meeting that must be held with incomparably important role.

Because Zheng Fei and Zhu Wu's plan is so important that even the slightest leak will lead to a total loss, so this plan has been carried out in the most secret way since it was first implemented six years ago.

On Zheng Fei's side, only Pang Wanchun knows, even Wang Jin, Lu Zhishen, Deng Yuanjue and other people who are absolutely trusted by Zheng Fei don't know the slightest news. On Zhu Wu's side, only Shi Bao knew about it. Pang Wanchun and Shi Bao each led a top-secret team composed of several people to liaise with both sides, and these dozen or so people were all dead-like figures, without any relatives, not dripping alcohol, they would not trust anyone except their direct leaders, and would rather die than leak a word. It is precisely because of such caution that this shocking secret finally played a decisive role, helping Zheng Fei to achieve the highest return in a very short period of time and at the lowest cost!

But because of this, when this matter finally surfaced and the truth was revealed, it naturally inevitably brought a huge impact to all the soldiers of the Tiandao Army and the Qishan Army, and the Tiandao Army may be better, after all, his commander is still the commander. But the Qishan army's heart is inevitably a little uncomfortable, they follow Zhu Wu to fight the world, bloody battles, looking forward to the end of the meritorious career, to be a founding father, but in a blink of an eye, even Zhu Wu has become someone else's subordinate, many Qishan army generals are dumbfounded, where should they go in the future? They didn't know who they should be loyal to in the future, and they were also worried about whether Zheng Linfeng would be able to treat the Qishan Army as equally as he did with the Heavenly Dao Army in the future. Many of the soldiers of the Qishan Army, who had strong self-esteem, even felt that they had "surrendered" to the Heavenly Dao Army, and felt that they were a little shorter than the Heavenly Dao Army. Especially those Qishan veterans who betrayed Zheng Fei when they chose to support Zhu Wu when they pretended to be driven away by Zhu Wu, they were even more embarrassed, even if it was a scene between Zheng Fei and Zhu Wu, but it is an indisputable fact that he "betrayed" Zheng Fei, who would like a group of betrayers? They are very worried that Zheng Fei will find them to "settle the ledger after the autumn", even if they don't, because of their bad history, it is difficult to say that they will be reused by Zheng Fei in the future.

In the actual campaign in the past month or so, there have been several skirmishes between the Tiandao Army and the Qishan Army, either when distributing materials, but if there is a little deviation, the Qishan Army will feel that it is discriminated against and wronged, or when assigning combat tasks, if the task assigned to the Qishan Army is a little heavier, the Qishan Army will feel that this is deliberate, and it is to ask the Qishan Army to be cannon fodder for the Tiandao Army.

This situation did not disappear with the orders of Zheng Fei and Zhu Wu and the countless battles of the two armies.

Zheng Fei keenly discovered this bad phenomenon, he must immediately stop it, nip it in the bud, and untie the knot in the heart of the Qishan Army, otherwise in the long run, it will inevitably affect the great integration of the Heavenly Dao Army and the Qishan Army, and if a good thing is not done, it will eventually turn into a disaster, which is one of the reasons why he wants to make a truce.

In order to achieve better results, Zheng Fei and Zhu Wu discussed for a long time, and they both thought that holding a meeting of the whole army was the best way, and at this meeting, the officers and soldiers of the two armies could see Zheng Fei's attitude and stabilize the morale of the army!

The venue of the meeting was decided to be Jiangning Mansion, which would later be Nanjing, and its geographical location was right in the center of all the territory that had been laid down today, which was just conducive to the scattered generals coming here in the shortest possible time.

Soon, the generals scattered all over the country came to Jiangning, but Zheng Fei did not hold a meeting immediately, but held a celebration banquet for three days and three nights, disrupting the order of the Tiandao Army and the Qishan Army, and all of them were mixed together to eat and drink.

This is also Zheng Fei's intention, the Han people have a characteristic since ancient times, the wine table is the easiest to establish feelings, no matter how strange two people, as long as they drink happily at the wine table, and have similar tempers, they can become friends in a blink of an eye. Look at who are the generals of the Tiandao Army and the Qishan Army? Everyone is a hero, drink this big bowl of wine, eat a big mouthful of meat, and then inform each other of their names in the rivers and lakes, and get closer to the relationship, that is necessary!

Sure enough, after the three-day feast, the generals of the two armies instantly became acquainted, this sentence, "Ah, it turned out to be the eldest brother, who has admired the name for a long time, and the younger brother respects you with a cup!" That sentence, "I'm rubbing, it turns out that you are XXX, I sworn brother XXX has told me about you many times, saying that you are a friend enough, a man, come, let's have a drink!" Others said, "Brother, do you remember your little brother?" When the little brother was desperate to go to your village, you didn't dislike it, not only to eat and drink, but also to give me a home, please accept my worship! In short, in just three days, many generals in the two armies hit each other off at first sight, and according to incomplete statistics, in three days, there were more than 200 people who bowed to each other.

Zheng Fei saw that the goal was achieved, so he formally convened a conference on the fourth day, at which Zheng Fei first announced that the Tiandao Army and the Qishan Army were officially merged into one and formed into a new Tiandao Army, and at the same time, Zheng Fei officially appointed Zhu Wu as the deputy commander of the Tiandao Army, living under himself and above tens of thousands of people.

For this appointment, the Tiandao Army and the Qishan Army have no objections, for the generals of the Tiandao Army, Zhu Wu is a respectable person, he endured the humiliation and carried forward the Qishan Army left to him by the commander, and laid a big territory, what is even more commendable is that he did not betray his promise to the commander, was not captured by the glory and wealth, did not greedily take the Qishan Army as his own, but kept his promise, and launched a fatal blow to the Great Song Dynasty at the most critical moment. Zhu Wu's merit is the greatest, and there is no one in the entire Heavenly Dao Army who can compare with him, and this deputy commander is really deserved! And the significance of Zhu Wu's appointment to the Qishan Army is also self-evident, the more stable Zhu Wu is, the more at ease the former Qishan Army officers and soldiers can be.

Zhu Wu gratefully accepted this appointment and swore in public that he would always be loyal to the commander and the Heavenly Dao Army!

Next, Zheng Fei announced that the New Heavenly Dao Army would be divided into 24 armies according to the existing establishment, ranging from 20,000 to 30,000 people per army, and each of the 24 armies would be headed by the generals of the original Tiandao Army and the Qishan Army as 12 army commanders, and each of the six armies would form a group army, a total of four group armies, named the Qinglong Army, the White Tiger Army, the Vermilion Bird Army, and the Xuanwu Army, and Lu Zhishen, Deng Yuanjue, Fang La, and Shi Bao would serve as the commanders of the four major group armies. Zheng Fei solemnly promised the whole army that no matter what happened before, it was in the past, and the Tiandao Army and the Qishan Army would be a family of brothers from now on, sharing the glory and going to hardships together, whether it was the original Tiandao Army or the original Qishan Army, he would treat everyone equally, and a bowl of water would be even!

Under Zheng Fei's actual appointment, and listening to Zheng Fei's promise, the generals of the original Qishan Army finally believed and accepted everything in front of them, once the knot was released, they really found out how wonderful everything in front of them was, in this more than a month of battle, they had all discovered the strength of the Heavenly Dao Army, and they couldn't help but be secretly afraid in their hearts, if the two armies really came to a big battle, not to mention who would die for the time being, both defeats were the most likely result, so, What could be more wonderful than when such a formidable enemy suddenly becomes a comrade-in-arms?

Zheng Fei then announced the last thing, that is, the commonplace issue of military law, there are no rules, there is no square circle, the facts have shown that strict military law will not only not restrict the army, but in fact will be more conducive to the unity and combat effectiveness of the army.

Zheng Fei announced that the New Heavenly Dao Army will continue to use the military law of the original Heavenly Dao Army, and the original Qishan Army will know every article and paragraph of this military law in the shortest possible time from today onwards, because no matter the rewards and punishments in the future, the military law will be used as the final basis, even if it is me, Zheng Linfeng and Zhu Wu!
