Chapter 12 Personnel Adjustments

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing." Yuan Shi waited for this time, and immediately said.

Zhang Xuan was also stunned for a while, in his heart, the person who served as the privy council, or the person in charge of the privy council, should be Cao Zongyu, because Cao Zongyu was the person who understood Zhang Xuan the most and was also the person Zhang Xuan trusted the most.

Cao Zongyu's own ability is also sufficient.

But Yuan Shizhong asked for help, but Zhang Xuan couldn't find a reason to refuse. And if Zhang Xuan doesn't care about Zhang Xuan's personal feelings, Yuan Shizhong is more suitable than Cao Zongyu.

First, there is the issue of seniority.

Zhang Xuan regarded the Privy Council envoy as the head of the generals, and perhaps in the future, he would have to hang up the title of captain and the like to show his honor. In terms of qualifications, Yuan Shizhong was the leader of one party when Li Zicheng was in the Central Plains, and his qualifications were deeper than Zhang Xuan's, but now that Cao Ying's veterans are withering, Zhang Xuan can't even find a few people who can compare his qualifications with Yuan Shizhong.

Of course, Gao Yigong and Yuan Zongdi are indeed more senior than Yuan Shizhong, but after all, the two voted later. It's not the same as Yuan Shizhong.

And Zhang Xuan's title of prince was one less because of Zheng Chenggong's resignation, and Wang Lung died in battle. Among the five kings of the world, there are only three kings left, that is, Yuan Shizhong, the king of Wei, Li Dingguo, the king of Yunnan, and Cao Zongyu, the king of Tang.

But in the eyes of the world, these three people are different. Wei King Yuan Shizhong was awarded by seniority, Li Dingguo, King of Yunnan, was awarded by merit, and Tang King Cao Zongyu was sealed by himself.

In the eyes of many people, Cao Zongyu's king has this very strong feeling of luck.

Now let Cao Zongyu become the Privy Councillor and the head of the military attache in the world. I'm afraid there are a lot of people below who are not convinced.

Zhang Xuan trusted Cao Zongyu, and thought that he had a way to make the people below obedient. Does it just have to be that way?

Weiwang Yuan Shizhong is also okay, and it is better than Cao Zongyu, after all, Weiwang Yuan Shizhong is in terms of qualifications, as the head of the generals, many people are convinced.

And in the battle of Anqing, Yuan Shizhong was not without merit. After the death of King Wang Long in battle, he was the only one who participated in this key battle, and his promotion was reasonable in the eyes of many people.

Zhang Xuan thought about it, looked at the others with the rest of his eyes, sighed in his heart, and said secretly: "It's okay like this, Cao Zongyu is guarding outside, and I can rest assured." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Since King Wei has this intention, how can I not fulfill it. King Wei stepped down from Anqing Town and entered the Privy Council as a privy envoy. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yuan Shizhong said.

Zhang Xuan said: "Since King Wei is a privy envoy, I don't know what you are going to arrange?" ”

Yuan Shizhong said: "The minister thinks that the three major battalions of the forbidden army have been settled by His Majesty, so the minister will not say anything." His Majesty is interested in Sichuan, so it is better not to change the generals guarding Chongqing and Yungui, and the ministers ask the two towns to be quiet. ”

Zhang Xuan nodded, the three major battalions of the forbidden army, Zhang Xuan is indeed there

It's arranged.

Gao Yigong was in charge of the Jiangbei camp. Deng He was in charge of the Jiangnan camp. Yuan Zongdi was in charge of the Xijing battalion, and under such safety, he also incorporated Gao Yigong's department into the forbidden army and trained with the forbidden army.

Obviously, the high level of merit has been swallowed.

The advantage is that from now on, Gao Yigong can claim to be the general of the forbidden army and become Zhang Xuan's descendants. The various arrangements are the best.

The disadvantage is that Gao Yigong's influence in the army will inevitably be diluted. From now on, you will have to abide by the law and do things under Zhang Xuan.

And Yungui's side did not move, and most of them could guess that if the problem left over from history of the Great Western Army was not solved, Li Dingguo would have no possibility of leaving.

As for He Hutou's immobility in Chongqing, it was somewhat beyond Zhang Xuan's expectations.

According to Zhang Xuan's meaning, he wanted to transfer He Hutou to Nanjing to take charge of the palace ban.

After all, although there are many people in the Jiangnan camp, it is outside the city. The city defense of Nanjing City is the guard of the imperial palace, and it needs people. Therefore, Zhang Xuan wanted to transfer back to He Hutou.

But after thinking about it, he didn't want to refute Yuan Shizhong's proposal, and said: "What about Anqing, Xinyang, Xiangyang, and the three towns?" ”

Yuan Shizhong said: "Xiangyang Town is the head of all towns, and non-important ministers cannot sit in the town, so the ministers and the Tang King are suitable." Although Anqing City is small, but the upstream must rush, there is absolutely no room for loss, so the minister thinks that General Xu Du Xu is suitable, as for Xinyang Town, although it is between the two towns, but the mountains are thousands of miles apart, and there are many dangers. is small but strong, Jin Shenghuan once followed his ministers. Guarding this place, he is very familiar with this, so the minister thinks that it is appropriate for Jin Shenghuan to sit in Xinyang. ”

Zhang Xuan nodded.

Xu Du and Cao Zongyu's arrangement was very much in line with Zhang Xuan's thoughts. After all, these two heavy generals, Zhang Xuan can't put them in the rear, even if Zhang Xuan is willing to do so, he is not willing.

There is only Jin Shenghuan, speaking of which is Yuan Shizhong's lineage. Speaking of which, it is also common sense for Yuan Shizhong to promote a few of his own people for the Privy Council. This Jin Shenghuan is indeed very suitable.

Zhang Xuan nodded.

Before I knew it, I had been talking all afternoon, and it was getting bigger and bigger, and even the footprints of the servants were filled in, and the countless ruins and ruins were all the same.

Covered in silver.

Zhang Xuan saw that it was not early, so he let them go back.

A lot of things have to be done slowly, you can't rush, and it's useless to be in a hurry. After saluting, the group all retreated.

When Li Dingguo was about to leave the palace gate, he was stopped by Li Fuguo and said, "Your Majesty is invited." ”

Li Dingguo said: "Please let my father-in-law lead the way." ”

Under the leadership of Li Fuguo, it didn't take a while for Li Dingguo to enter a warm pavilion, although the cold wind and blood were blowing outside, but in the warm pavilion, but

There was also a slight sweat.

"Meet Your Majesty." Li Dingguo said.

Zhang Xuan backhanded Li Dingguo and helped him up, and said: "The King of Dian is the pillar of the imperial court, and the peace of the southwest depends on the King of Yunnan. I heard that the king of Dian has two sworn brothers, but I don't know how? ”

Li Dingguo said: "Your Majesty Liu Wenxiu has seen it, Yunwen Yunwu is a generalist, and the fourth brother Ai Nengqi fights hard and is also a good general. ”

Zhang Xuan said: "But I don't know the two of them, do you want to show your strength in Beijing?" Now the Privy Council is employing people to follow. If the two generals are willing to come, I am willing to wait for the vacant position. ”

Zhang Xuan couldn't do anything to Yunnan at this time, but he still wanted to adjust subtly. The transfer of the backbone of the Great Western Army is also in Zhang Xuan's plan.

Reorganization, exchange, the means used by the junior chairman to annex the miscellaneous army in the hands of Zhang Xuan still feel very sharp.

Li Dingguo was silent for a moment and said: "Your Majesty's opinion, the two brothers of the minister, are difficult to solve, I am afraid that they will not respond to Your Majesty's orders, but under the two of them, there are a large number of generals who do not care, and the minister thinks that Your Majesty should be a horse bone in the gold market." Recruit some generals and set an example for the Dian army. ”

Zhang Xuan said with a smile: "It's still the king of Dian who knows my mind, the chief military officer of Hunan, Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang, you can choose." ”

Li Dingguo said: "Thank you for your trust. ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Between me and you, we treat each other with all sincerity, so why be so polite." But there is one thing, I want to hear your opinion, after all, there will be something in Sichuan in the future, but Wu Sangui secretly sent people to Nanjing and contacted some people. It seems that you want to find a way to meet me, how do you think you should deal with this situation? ”

Li Dingguo said: "Wu Sangui is capricious and untrustworthy, come here at this moment, don't you know if it's a plan?" With the ability of His Majesty and the wealth of Jiangnan, as long as the army is reorganized and the army is prepared, how can it not dominate the world in the future. Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, why should Your Majesty take risks and gamble on Wu Sangui's credit? ”

Zhang Xuan listened, smiled slightly, and said, "What King Tang said is extremely true. However, this one thing is always useful. I am going to send someone to contact Wu Sangui's people, after all, our preparations are not sufficient, and in a year or two, I am afraid that the battle with Sichuan will not be able to fight. But prepare it in advance. It's just a matter of making it for later use. This matter cannot be hidden from you, and even the contact with Wu Sangui will be transferred to you in the future, you just need to know this matter. ”

Zhang Xuan hinted that the main general of the battle of Sichuan in the future would be Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo listened and said: "Thank you Your Majesty for your love, and the ministers should do their best to take Sichuan for Your Majesty." ”

"Okay," Zhang Xuan said, "It's just that I'm patient for the time being, the time hasn't come yet." ”
