As Yang Congyi expected, the matter of selecting generals for the actual combat exercise finally fell on him.

In the capital commander envoy yamen, the commander of the envoy said very clearly, the front of the palace temporarily set up a general selection department, the commander of the envoy concurrently served as the chief envoy, Yang Congyi served as the deputy envoy, and he was specifically responsible for the selection of generals.

In addition to the selection of generals, it is necessary to set up a camp in Yiwu County, Wuzhou, with the king of Pu'an County as the commander, and the deputy envoy of the general division in front of the palace as the deputy marshal.

Before the appointment document is officially issued, Yang Congyi can continue to work in the military case, and then he will go to the capital to command the yamen.

Yang Cunzhong's arrangement is to do everything possible to increase the influence of the election generals and reduce the resistance of Yang Congyi to preside over this matter, and he himself is also the chief envoy of the election generals, so even if Yang Congyi has some behaviors that ordinary people cannot understand when he is in charge, they will not easily challenge Yang Congyi and reduce his pressure.

Yang Congyi can still understand the intentions of the commander to make such an arrangement, and if the status of the general is raised, then he will be able to make it much easier when he is in charge, and if he orders the commander to make the yamen, how can others not listen.

But he also understands that this is all temporary, once this matter is completed, the election of the general Sima Shang will be revoked, and he will still return to the military case, not because of the sudden increase in his status and the giving him some authority, he has the ability to sit on an equal footing with the chief and deputy envoys of the divisions, but it is just an expedient measure, a flash in the pan.

Recognize the positioning, so as not to be fluttering and offend some people who can't be offended. Therefore, from the moment the commander told him about his appointment, he understood that even if he was given the authority to be the master independently, he could not really exercise it, and all orders had to be made by the general and the general commander, and he was only a person who carried out the order.

Lin'an's tenure is different from the Huiyi fleet, and it is also different from the Xuanwei Army, there are few people in these two places, and they are far away from Lin'an, almost no one will interfere, and he can decide many things, but in Lin'an, he is just a dispensable small role, if he doesn't like the eye, he will be kicked out at any time, and he has to be low-key and low-key, careful and careful.

They didn't talk about any specific matters about the selection of generals, but only told Master Zhang about the charter for the election of generals, saying that the charter he submitted was very good, and the imperial court had approved it, and the election of generals could be carried out immediately according to the charter. Hearing this, Zhang Bing was naturally happy, and he was unwilling to cause such a troublesome and thankless errand.

Immediately afterwards, he talked about the establishment of a temporary organization to select generals, and directly announced that Yang Congyi would be seconded to the Yamen of the Metropolitan Command and Envoy to temporarily serve as the deputy envoy of the Election General Division, and told them that the deputy envoy of the Election General Division would serve as the deputy commander of the Election General Battalion.

Zhang Bing's case didn't want to take care of things, Yang Congyi's stay and going, he didn't care at all, as long as there was no business for him, everything was easy to say. Therefore, he was not happy about the exclusion of the general division, because he knew that this general selection division was just set up for this matter, and as soon as the errand was completed, it would be revoked immediately, after all, it was impossible to select generals every year, and who could stand such a big fight.

As soon as he returned to the military case, Master Zhang called Yang Congyi to his official office.

"Secretary Yang, the regulations for the election of generals are from the military case, and the original selection of generals should also be handled by the military case, but my body does not allow it, and no one else can assist in the military case. As a last resort, the commander of the army will transfer you out of the military case alone, and put you in the yamen of the commander of the military case, although you have been transferred out, but you are still the person of the military case, in addition to the selection of generals and colonels, the transfer of funds from the big education is also a matter within the military case, and today I will hand over this matter to you to handle, how about it? Master Zhang was blunt, explained the relationship, and arranged a major errand for the military case.

Regardless of whether it can be done well or not, since Lord Zhang has already spoken, Yang Congyi has no reason to say no, so he admitted: "Yes, my lord, the lower officials will definitely try their best to handle this matter." ”

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "My lord, but I don't know how many transferred posts this year are?" ”

Zhang Dadao: "It's the same every year, you can transfer 100 people to supplement the front division of the palace." ”

"Yes, Xia Guan understands." Yang Congyi responded.

To put it bluntly, it is to pass the school assessment, select a group of soldiers who are attached to the conditions to enter the troops directly under the front division of the palace, and use them to guard Lin'an and the imperial city, and the treatment of the forbidden army guarding Lin'an is naturally better than that of the forbidden army stationed in the field, and the treatment of the forbidden army guarding the imperial city is better than that of guarding Lin'an.

Of course, it is impossible for the forbidden army to enter the imperial city directly through the Great Sect Reading and transfer, they must first be filled into the forbidden army guarding Lin'an, and then they can be incorporated into the squad guarding the imperial city or the central yamen after experience and selection.

All Yang Congyi has to do is to select some soldiers with excellent physical conditions from the forbidden army stationed in various places, as for whether to supplement the front division of the palace, it is not his turn to decide.

After explaining things clearly in a few words, Mr. Zhang felt extremely comfortable, several major events this year were arranged, and he could finally relax for a few months in the second half of the year.

There was nothing to do here, and Yang Congyi retired and left.

At present, he actually has nothing to do in the military case, and after returning to the office, he began to think about how to implement the matter of selecting generals.

Sun Miao saw Yang Congyi sitting idle, but he had to deal with the copywriting, and he suddenly felt a little angry in his heart, why is he, a person who has caused a lot of gossip, can still go in and out many times in the near future to command the yamen?

In indignation, Sun Miao slapped the table many times intentionally or unintentionally, making all kinds of noises, and the officials outside the office probed in from time to time, thinking that the adults were calling them for something.

Yang Congyi was thinking about the selection of generals, he didn't care about what Lord Sun next to him had in mind, although he felt that Lord Sun was obviously not as friendly to him as when he first came to the military case, but he didn't show any hostility, and his attitude towards Lord Sun was still the same.

The matter of selecting generals is very important, and it is related to whether there is anyone available in the forbidden army in the next ten years, because he received the task, he was very attentive and did not want to be distracted by the clutter, because he knew very well that after ten years, Wan Yanliang would definitely wave his army south and go straight to the Yangtze River, and that time was the best time for him to establish meritorious service.

But the whole Great Song Dynasty since ten years ago and the Jin State signed the "Shaoxing Peace Conference", the four generals of Zhongxing, the death of the dead, the retreat of the retreat, ten years, now the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty has declined, the army is also corrupt, in another ten years, what the Song army looks like, it is not difficult to imagine.

Therefore, if Yang Congyi wants to seize the opportunity to make contributions in ten years, he will have to form his own team from now on to build an elite division that advances and retreats together.

When he was in school, he studied history, and he knew that after the failure of Yan Liang's southern invasion, it was the only opportunity for the Southern Song Dynasty to counterattack, and in history, due to the greed for life and fear of death, the army could not be unified, resulting in defeat after defeat, so that there was no capital and courage to compete with the Jin State, which has to be said to be a huge regret.

There are many reasons for this regret, but since the eleventh year of Shaoxing, after the Song and Jin Dynasty made peace, the Song army was abandoned for 20 years, and there was no one available in the army, but it was the main reason why the Great Song Dynasty could not recover its homeland in the Northern Expedition. If Yue Fei or Han Shizhong were still alive back then, they would definitely not miss the opportunity of the Northern Expedition, but unfortunately in the end, they could only use Zhang Jun, a civil minister who was dying and old, but not very good at fighting, to bury the hearts of the people and the army of the Northern Expedition that had finally gathered.

In the final analysis, when Wanyan Liang's southern invasion failed, the Southern Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers did not seize the opportunity to recover their homeland, most of the reasons were because there was no commander to lead the army and no generals who dared to fight.

And Yang Congyi, who came to this era from later generations, is familiar with these things, ten years ago, the main peace faction was in power, the Great Song Dynasty did not seize the opportunity to recover the homeland, ten years later, the main battle faction was in power, if it can not be seized, after the defeat of the First World War, there will never be a chance again.

Since Yang Congyi entered the martial arts, what he wanted was to use ten years to lead an army alone, and then seize the opportunity of Yan Liang's southern invasion to make contributions.

Now that this opportunity to select generals has fallen on his head, he naturally has to seize this opportunity tightly and select young generals who dare to fight and fight, in the hope that in ten years, there will be a few more people who can advance and retreat together on the battlefield.

At this time, he only had one thing in his heart, except for the selection of generals, he didn't care about any other messy things, including the inexplicable movements made by Sun Miao.

No matter what he thought of, Yang Congyi casually wrote down the key words on the paper, before forming the general selection camp, it is necessary to convey the matter of the selection of generals and the reading of the great education to the various armies, what requirements are there for the candidates, what preparations the various armies participating in the selection need to make in advance, marching, supply, military appearance, military discipline, etc., all need to be explained one by one.

According to Yang Congyi's assumption, the generals and colonels and the army he wants to select must have firm conviction and strong perseverance, and if they do not meet the requirements, it is simply impossible for them to be selected into the general camp, and the arrival of the general selection camp by the various armies is only the first step, and there are many assessments in the future, and only those with superior comprehensive quality can finally pass the selection and stand out.

The commander did not say how many people would be selected this time, but according to his guess, there would not be too many, there were only thirty or forty forbidden troops participating in the election, and it was impossible for the General Selection Division to let them come to seventy or eighty teams at once, after all, a part of the army had to be stationed in the place.

Yang Congyi knew that the number of people in each army was really small, and the first army drew out 500 people, and the rest was estimated to be not too much, and if 1,000 people were drawn, I was afraid that the forbidden army would become an empty shell.
