Yanzhou Fucheng, served as the commander of the city guard.

Liu Juntao looked at the military department documents in his hand, his face was also full of smiles, and Lei Bo, the commander of the city guard next to him, also looked at it with a smile.

This time, he served as the commander of the city guard, so Lei Bai and Yan Shenggong Kong Yanjin joined forces, and used their connections to win a huge establishment for Liu Juntao, which can be said to be a painstaking effort.

At the same time, with the huge soldiers and horses adapted from the Yushan Town Guard, Yanzhou Mansion and even Shandong can be as stable as Mount Tai, so that everyone can enjoy peace and tranquility.

According to the order of the Ministry of War, the Yushan Town Guard and the Yanzhou Mansion Militia were immediately merged to form the Yanzhou Mansion Battalion.

In fact, the command of the guard post to command the battalion soldiers is not in line with the military system of the Ming Dynasty, but now the attention of the imperial court is mainly focused on northern Xinjiang, and it can only be an expedient measure for the military affairs on the Shandong side.

At the same time, the Ministry of War stipulated that the strength of the newly formed battalion in Yanzhou Prefecture should be about 10,000, but the number of baggage soldiers accompanying the army was not limited.

This is equivalent to opening a convenient door for Liu Juntao, who can use the extra soldiers and horses of the Yushan Town Guards to exist in the form of baggage troops, and can even continue to expand the troops.

As long as Liu Juntao's official position continues to be promoted, he can command more soldiers and horses, and these soldiers in the form of baggage soldiers can be converted into battalions immediately!

According to the order of the Ministry of War, Liu Juntao is the chief general of this battalion, and the specific structure of the army and the official positions of the personnel need Liu Juntao to report to Ren Chengwei, and then Ren Chengwei will report to the Military Department for decision.

However, these are just going through the motions, basically it doesn't matter how Liu Juntao reports, Ren Chengwei commanded Lei Bo and Yan Shenggong Kong Yanjin have already made good connections, and the reorganization plan reported by Liu Juntao will definitely pass through the green light all the way, and no one will come out to stop it.

Liu Juntao put away the official documents of the Ministry of War, and said to Lei Bo with a smile: "Thank you for your great help!" ”

"Haha, Juntao doesn't have to be polite."

"Don't worry, my lord, my lord and Yan Shenggong's side, I will have a big reward!"

"Haha, Juntao is too polite, too polite. It's just that Juntao wants to report this specific reorganization plan to me as soon as possible. Moreover, in order to avoid attracting attention, it is best to divide half of these 10,000 soldiers and horses and hang them under Ren Chengwei, of course, only in name, and secretly it is still led by Jun Tao himself, and I will not interfere. ”

"Good! Don't worry, my subordinates will go back and straighten it out! The reintegration plan must be submitted as soon as possible. ”

On the same day, Liu Juntao left the capital city of Yanzhou, and after returning to Yushan Town, he immediately summoned the commanders of the battalions back, and called all the chief officials above the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Military, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Ministry of Investigation to observe.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liu Juntao read out the official document of the Ministry of War in public, and everyone cheered after listening to it.

Guo Yongzhong, Tang Yu, Zhang Baigui, Hu Dexing and others cheered, excitedly discussing how Yushan Town would develop in the future, and everyone's eyes were full of excitement.

Then, Liu Juntao said with a smile: "This time the imperial court gave us the establishment of 10,000 soldiers, and I decided to report the Chinese military camp and the militia battalion to the two battalions as the basis to prepare for the construction of the main barracks and the strange barracks of Yanzhou Mansion. And the odd camp is under my direct jurisdiction. ”

Speaking of this, everyone was slightly stunned, Liu Juntao signaled everyone to be calm, and then continued: "You don't have to worry, Ren Chengwei has already made a good relationship with Lord Lei, and the imperial court will not send someone to take over the military power for the time being, and these two battalions of soldiers and horses are still obeying me." After a while, Lord Lei will find a way to hand over the main barracks to me in name, but now it's just a formality. ”

After listening to Liu Juntao's explanation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"The remaining front battalion, rear battalion, left battalion, right battalion, and iron cavalry battalion of the Yushan Town Guard have all been converted into heavy soldiers and horses of the Yanzhou Mansion Battalion. The front battalion was stationed in Anshan Town, the rear battalion was stationed in Yushan Military Bureau, the left battalion was stationed in Yushan Town, the right battalion was stationed in Xuzhou Qulipu, and the iron cavalry battalion was also temporarily stationed in Yushan Town. Sun Xu and I will lead our troops to Yanzhou Capital City to be reorganized, and the specific location of the garrison is to be determined. ”

After listening to Liu Juntao's arrangement, everyone cheered again, even Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui, the two "old men", were also cheering loudly with the young people at this time, which means that Yushan Town will fully take over the defense of Yanzhou Mansion, and Liu Juntao will also become the actual supreme general of Yanzhou Mansion.

And as long as the military department is ordered, Yushan Town is no longer as simple as being strong in the market, but a real official army, which has begun to merge into the imperial court, which is the result that everyone has been dreaming of!

At this time, Liu Zi'an asked: "Mr. Lian, I don't know what official position Mr. Lian has been sealed by the Ministry of War?" What official positions will be given to the generals at all levels of our escort team? ”

Liu Juntao shook his head and said, "These are still unknowns, the news from Lord Lei's side is that we will not know until further rewards from the Ministry of War." ”

Although it was not known at this time what reward the military department would have, everyone was also looking forward to it, and they were discussing what the imperial court would reward Yushan Town and what kind of official position Liu Juntao would give.

After all, defeating the thieves of Ye Zongliu's subordinates is a great achievement, and it is impossible for the imperial court to reward too lightly, otherwise it will definitely not be able to convince the public.

Moreover, from now on, Shandong will rely on Yushan Town to guard it, and the imperial court will definitely give everyone in Yushan Town a satisfactory reward.

As a result, Liu Juntao reported the formation of the Chinese military camp and the militia battalion, and at the same time reported the commanders of the rest of the battalions.

After Lei Bo, the commander of the city guard, received the establishment reported by Liu Juntao, he reported Zhang Xiaojun, Yan Hu and other battalion commanders as the main generals of the baggage army, and also reported them to the military department.

Soon, Ren Chengwei sent an order: the order of the military department has been sent to the capital city of Yanzhou, completely agreeing with the establishment reported by Liu Juntao, and asking Liu Juntao to immediately lead 10,000 troops to the capital city of Yanzhou to listen to the dispatch.

At this time, the military camp and the militia battalion in the Yushan Town Guard Force were already ready to go, and Liu Juntao gave an order, and the Chinese military camp set off from Yushan Town, and the militia battalion set off from Dongpingzhou, and successively drove towards Yanzhou Fucheng.

Yanzhou capital city, the school field in the city.

Liu Juntao led an army of 10,000 into the city and finished the formation on the school field.

The officials of Yanzhou Prefecture, all under the leadership of the prefect and Lei Bo, the commander of the city guard, came to attend the appointment ceremony.

Rapoo publicly announced the appointment of the Ministry of War:

Liu Juntao was appointed as a guerrilla general, commanding the Yanzhou Mansion Qi Barracks, and the Yanzhou Mansion Barracks was managed by him, and he was appointed as the commander of the city guard to make Lei Bo hostage;

Zhang Xiaojun, Yan Hu, Chen Ziping, Gao Ran, Zhou Zongsheng, and Sun Xu were appointed as garrisons, and they were in charge of various departments. (The specific troops are all implemented in accordance with Liu Juntao's deployment)

After the appointment was announced, everyone present was a sensation, Liu Juntao was a 27-year-old guerrilla general, I am afraid that this was the first in the Ming Dynasty, and he was directly promoted by the imperial court from the position of the general manager of the militia because of his merits, which surprised all the officials present.

At this time, Liu Juntao had already changed into a guerrilla general's mountain armor, standing on the stage of the martial arts and looking at the crowd below, his heart was also arrogant, accompanied by Ren Chengwei's commander Lei Bai to inspect the two battalions of people, and even attracted 10,000 troops to cheer and win.

That night, Ren Chengwei commanded Lei Bo to be the east, and set up a banquet in the commander's yamen to celebrate Liu Juntao's promotion, and almost all of Ren Chengwei's generals were present to accompany him.

At the banquet, everyone toasted to Liu Juntao, this is a brand-new general star in Yanzhou Mansion, although it is temporarily subordinated to Lei Bo and under the jurisdiction of Ren Chengwei, but this is only an expedient measure of the Ministry of War, as long as Liu Juntao makes military achievements in the future, it is a matter of time before he is on an equal footing with Ren Chengwei.

At this time, it was an opportunity to build a good relationship with Liu Juntao in advance, so everyone came one after another to compliment Liu Juntao.

And Liu Juntao also did not refuse to come, chatting and laughing with everyone, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and for a while the guest of honor was happy, and even Lei Bo was drunk.
