Chapter 47: Let Xian
Within the county government of Zheng County, the main generals and officials of the Huashan Army have already gathered together. Zhou Fang still sat at the top, Wu Heng and Qin Tu were on the two sides of the bottom, and Li Xin and Wang Meng were below.
"Everyone has their opinions, these captives are now our own people, and they will soon be engaged in training. If we don't have a general, it's likely that a good thing will turn into a bad thing for us! Li Xin briefly said the purpose of the meeting.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but start thinking about it. In fact, I am afraid that few of these people present have thought deeply about this issue. After all, it seems that Li Xin has always arranged everything, which makes them a little accustomed to listening to Li Xin's opinions and arrangements.
But when it comes to this issue, everyone also understands that this is indeed an important matter, and if it is not handled well, it will easily lead to a decline in the strength of the Huashan Army.
"Master Wang, let's tell me what you think first!" Seeing that everyone didn't seem to speak, Li Xin looked at Wang Meng opposite and said. If he speaks first, it should be able to make more ideas come to the table.
"The matter of the generals of the five brigades is naturally not to be neglected, after all, this is the foundation of our Huashan Army. The position of two captains is the most important, after all, a person who can command an army of a thousand people must not be too weak. Only those with outstanding abilities can hold this position, especially when it comes to warfare. Wang Meng pondered for a moment before speaking.
Hearing this, everyone present nodded their heads and looked very agreeable.
"Jing Luo is right, in the old man's opinion, among our Huashan army, if you want to say that the most brave and wise people in the war are none other than Li Lang, Jing Luo, Er Hei and Zhou Tong. However, Jing Luo has to be in charge of government affairs, so naturally he can no longer be distracted and take on the military position, or he does not need to do so now. For a long time, Li Lang and the three of them have only led the army to fight with the integrity of the team, which is very inconvenient. I think, this time let the three of them serve as captains, and hand over the soldiers to them to manage, the old man thinks it is the safest, what do you think? Zhou Fang seemed to have something to say for a long time, so he followed Wang Meng at this time.
When he said this, Li Xin and the three of them didn't react much, because with the growth of the Huashan Army, it was inevitable that their positions would be promoted, otherwise, how would they go to war. What's more, in terms of meritorious deeds, the three of them have already made a lot of contributions in several major battles, and there is no need to be modest.
For others, this is what it should be. After all, Li Xin and the three of them are all the backbone of the Huashan Army, if they can't be promoted, the soldiers below may not be convinced, and more importantly, who can lead the Huashan Army to continue to grow. The position of the three of them is basically irreplaceable.
"Brother Zhou's words are reasonable, and Li Lang and the three of them really have to carry a heavier burden. For the better development and growth of our Huashan Army, I think it is better for the three of us to give up the position of this lieutenant and let these young people do it. We old bones, we can't go to war! At this time, Wu Heng stood up, glanced at everyone, and said solemnly.
"Uncle Wu, what are you doing here? Even if the three of us take over the position of captain, we don't need to remove you! Hearing this, Li Xin hurriedly stood up and said. If this is the case, I am afraid that outsiders will still think that they are engaged in internal struggles and power and profit.
"No, no, no, what Lao Wu said is right, the three of us, we are not good at fighting, and we are old. If we really take up the position of lieutenant again, even if everyone below has no opinion, we can't do it ourselves. If I stay in this position any longer, I am afraid that it will ruin the affairs of the Huashan Army. We'd rather stay in the city and do some logistical chores and stuff, so it's easy to be happy! You, if you really understand our old bones, let us have a good old age! Qin Tu on the other side also stood up and said. Obviously, the two of them should have discussed it with each other, and they had already reached a consensus.
"Uncle Wu, Uncle Qin, this is not very good! If we spread the word, what will people outside think of us? Zhou Tong also stood up and said embarrassedly. Li Erhei also looked embarrassed, and persuaded him on the side.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you don't have to fight! I think what the three of them said is right, and it is indeed more suitable for them to take care of these things than to work the battlefield. Moreover, you should also see that we have now conquered Zheng County, but I am the only one who handles things, and there are not many civil officials or anything, do you want me to be tired to death? Everyone was still persuading each other, but Wang Meng on the side shook his head again and again, stood up and suppressed everyone's voices.
"That's right! Don't persuade you anymore, the three of us! Let's help Jingluo do things together in the future! In this way, we will also be relaxed, and you will be able to give full play to your abilities, wouldn't it be a matter of killing two birds with one stone! Seeing such a scene, Zhou Fang stood up and said undoubtedly.
Seeing that the three of them were resolute, and there seemed to be no harm in this matter being reasonable, Li Xin finally agreed.
"In this way, we have decided, the strength of the five battalions, we call them the first to the fifth battalions, and now the territory is small, so we can simplify many things first. These five battalions, each with a thousand people, are soldiers. I am the commander of the first battalion, Li Erhei is the commander of the second battalion, Zhou Tong is the commander of the third battalion, Tian He is the commander of the fourth battalion, and Liao Chuan is the captain of the fifth battalion. The various brigades under it will soon be arranged, and when the time comes, everyone will go all out to train and be sure to raise the combat effectiveness of the soldiers as soon as possible! Li Xin asked Xu Fuzi to record on the side, and he said on the side.
Everyone has no opinion on this decision, except for Li Xin and the three of them, Tian He and Liao Chuan are also veterans who came down from the mountain, and after passing the situation of these battles, they were promoted by virtue of their military exploits.
"One more, that is, our territory is much larger now, Huayin and Zheng County are undoubtedly our most important places, although Fuxi County is a little smaller, but it can't be ignored. I think we should also set up the post of county magistrate, so that the three counties can have their own parent officials, and many things can be dealt with! Seeing that everyone had no opinion, Li Xin said again.
"This is very good, in my opinion, Uncle Wu can be the county commander of Zheng County, preside over the affairs of Zheng County, and Uncle Qin can be the county commander of Zheng County, if the two of them are together, things will be handled much easier. Again, Uncle Zhou's words can be used as the order of Fuxi County and be responsible for the affairs of Fuxi County. As for my words, I am not modest, I have received the post of Huayin County Order, what do you think? "When it comes to government affairs, Wang Meng naturally has the most power to speak. After thinking about it for a while, he said.
"Okay, this is also in line with my thoughts, as for the arrangement of officials, I will ask Brother Jingluo to spend a lot of money. The officials of these three counties are all matched, so that our Huashan Army will officially take root in this area! Hearing this, Li Xin was very happy.
This arrangement can be said to be the best, with the strength of Zhou Fang, there should be no problem in taking care of a county, after all, the county at this time is not the kind of future generations. At this time, the area of the county was relatively not so large, and with the Huashan Army stationed here, it was unlikely that the sky would be turned upside down.
"Li Lang! You see that our Huashan Army now has 5,000 people, and it is not very good to have only five lieutenants, in my opinion, do we have to set up a higher official position, so that we can command the overall situation? At this time, Zhou Fang proposed.
When everyone heard this, they thought about it and felt that it was necessary. After all, although everyone has almost no rejection of Li Xin's command now, with the number of people increasing, this problem must be solved.
Otherwise, those who are below, especially those who join later, will only see that there are five captains above, all of the same rank, who cares. In case of a special situation, they don't know who to listen to.
"It's a simple question, I see! Let Li Lang take charge of the whole army, anyway, I won't accept others coming! I'll obey him! Li Erhei finally spoke, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he directly showed his attitude.
"I'm the same, my eldest brother holds this position, and no one in the Huashan Army will be unconvinced!" Zhou Tong also agreed, and the two of them were rare not to be stubborn in this matter.
"What does Li Lang think? It's up to you to take the position, but what should it be called? After all, five thousand soldiers, this is already a large force, enough to be called a general. With the unanimous consent of everyone, Li Xin, as a party concerned, had no right to speak, Wang Meng said directly.
They are now self-contained, if there is a Shangguan, this matter will not be solved by them, and the above order can be sealed. Li Xin thought for a while, he now leads five thousand people, this number is not much, if you say little, it seems that it is not small compared to some separatist forces, especially in terms of combat effectiveness.
"It's better to be commensurate with the captain first, and then let's think about it in the long term after it really stabilizes in the future. After all, our current crisis has not really been resolved after all! Li Xin thought for a moment before he said.
"Okay, in the future, Li Xin will be Captain Li, responsible for commanding the entire army of the Huashan Army and ordering the generals!" Everyone present had no opinion, and Wang Meng announced.
