Chapter 498: Fighting Hard
After getting this answer, Zhao Ying stopped asking questions and signed his name on the list.
Yang Congyi, Li Xianzhong, and Shao Hongyuan signed one after another, only Lord Zhang, who was still in the mountains and had not returned.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether Master Zhang wants to sign or not, as soon as the seal of the general camp falls, and the four people sign it, the list of selected generals will be determined.
This list will be personally brought back to Lin'an by the king of the county and reported to the imperial court.
As soon as the election was completed, Zhang Fu immediately summoned Yang Congyi, Li Xianzhong, and Shao Hongyuan, and officially announced the appointment to the three of them on behalf of the imperial court.
"There are thieves in the hut without a hedge, and there are people who are jealous of the territory. The territory of the Great Song Dynasty is vast, the east, west, north and south countries, there are many coveters, the world is initially determined, and there must be strong warriors. The garrison army stationed abroad in front of the palace has been established for a long time, there are few good generals, the soldiers are old and weak, and the soldiers of an army are less than 1,000 people, and they are embarrassed to defend the country and defend the land. Inspection, the selection of generals and battalions of the army is quite combative, well-trained, the army is all warriors, have the ability to defend the land, the edict now orders the selection of generals and battalions of the army immediately form three armies, appointed the commander of the Fenwu Army Li Xianzhong to command the army of twenty, the commander of the Yangwu Army Shao Hongyuan to command the army of twenty, the secretary of the military case of the palace and the deputy marshal of the selection of the battalion Yang Congyi to lead the six commanders of the Jingwu Army, the Fenwu Army and the Yangwu Army to the revoked old army to fill the post, the Jingwu Army to recruit the Xuanwei Army four commanders, the remaining two commanders can be recruited as appropriate. The deadline is three days, and the new army is built! Do you understand? ”
After Zhang Fu finished speaking, his eyes swept at Yang, Li, and Shao.
"Yes, the Admiral understands!" Yang Congyi should be the first.
"Yes, sir. The end will understand! ”
This sudden appointment of the army building obviously made Li Xianzhong and Shao Hongyuan, who were not very prepared, a little unprepared, they never thought of continuing to unify the army, Song Jin negotiated peace, there was no war for ten years, a few years ago they were invited out of the army and served as a nominal idle post, where did they think that they would be allowed to unify the army again? What's more, it was still at a time when the world was peaceful.
General Taiping is not as good as a dog!
The Jin people and the Western Xia people called, they had unlimited scenery on the battlefield, and the Song and Jin negotiated peace, and they were immediately driven out of the army, and they could only live by frolicking with their children.
However, now that the court has an order, they can't disobey it.
"This is the list of forbidden troops that has been revoked, you can take it and take a look. The 41 forbidden armies of the selected general battalion have a total of 41 commands, of which the forbidden army where two commands are located has not been revoked, and the Fenwu Army and the Yangwu Army are each under 20 commands, and the missing commander can be recruited from the remaining two commands, as long as they are willing to join the new army, they will be coordinated and transferred by the Privy Council. ”
Zhang Fu took out a list of papers and put it on the table, and after Li Xianzhong thanked him, he stepped forward to take it in his hand.
Subsequently, the appointment certificates of the three armed forces were issued to the three people one by one.
Without gossiping, the three of them immediately dispersed and went to prepare for the formation of a new army.
The Jingwu Army was formed by the Xuanwei Army, the four commanders of the selected general battalion, and there was no need to make much preparation, as long as a group of generals and colonels were summoned and announced in public, the formation of the new army could be completed.
However, the Fenwu Army and the Yangwu Army were in a lot of trouble, and the lists of each army were in the hands of Li and Shao, and they had been watching the battle with the army for more than five months, and it was naturally clear which army was strong and which army was weak, and it was naturally clear that if they did not form a new army, the two would be at peace with each other, and now they would have to pick 20 of the 41 troops, and the contradiction would come.
Since they were to be ordered to form an army, who would want to have a significantly weaker force? The two are at loggerheads over the list.
But no matter how big the disputes and disagreements are, there will be an end to them, and after an hour, the two have to compromise with each other and take turns to choose from the list, one at a time.
It is difficult to distinguish the strength of the forty-one armies, and it is difficult to make up your mind when you choose, and it takes a lot of time for the two to be full.
After the selection of 20 commanders of the Fenwu Army and the Yangwu Army, the list was determined, and it was reported to the Privy Council, and the general battalion was notified to the battalion of the commander of the 41st Forbidden Army to assemble.
Soon, the commanders of the 41st Forbidden Army gathered in the largest meeting hall of the Shuai Camp.
The generals of the various armies sat on both sides, Zhang Fu and Zhao Ying sat in the center of the conference hall, and Li Xianzhong, Shao Hongyuan, and Yang Congyi sat on the left and right.
"You have come thousands of miles to Wuzhou to elect generals, which lasted for seven months, and it is really fortunate. Now that the election is over, the results have been released, but they will not be announced until they are reported to the imperial court for confirmation. Wait quietly, those who are on the list will be rewarded by the court! ”
"Thank you, King of the County! The end will understand! ”
All the lords thanked him in unison.
Many people have never seen the true face of the county king before, but almost all have heard the legend about the county king, the legend says that the county king likes to wear vermilion clothes, and now in the council room, only one person wears a red coat, and sits in the middle with an old man in a purple robe, who else can there be if it is not the county king?
"The election is over, and you should have led the team back the way you came, but now the imperial court has other arrangements. How the imperial court arranges, please sign the Privy Council Seal to inform you. ”
Today's protagonist is not Zhao Jin, he quickly transferred the right to speak to Zhang Fu.
"Presumably, you have all met this official more than a month ago, and this official has nothing else to do when he comes to the general camp, and he brings you two good news."
Zhang Fu sold off slightly, paused, and looked at the expressions on everyone's faces.
Then he continued: "The first news, except for the Xuanwei Army and the Long Meng Army, the establishment of the forbidden army where you belong has been abolished, and all the garrison soldiers will be dismissed!" ”
As soon as the news came out, the soldiers who had been quietly waiting to hear the good news were suddenly stunned.
Moments later, the silence in the chamber was shattered, and there was an uproar.
"Be quiet! Don't worry, it's not too late to listen to the second good thing after the official has finished speaking! ”
Zhang Fu sat in the hall, facing the discussion of the generals and the chaotic meeting hall, he was not half frightened. He is an important minister in the court, and he has seen a lot of this kind of thing in the court, sometimes it is not just a lot of discussions, and it is not that he is rude, he has never seen any scenes, and he doesn't take this little thing to heart at all.
The generals quickly quieted down, and all looked at the old man in purple in the council hall full of puzzlement and doubt.
"Listen to you. The second thing is that the imperial court wants you to lead the soldiers of the headquarters to form two new armies under the front division of the palace, one army is called Fenwu, and the other army is called Yangwu. This is General Li Xianzhong, the commander of the Fenwu Army, and this is General Shao Hongyuan, the commander of the Yangwu Army. There is also good news for you, after the formation of the new army, the ministries will temporarily stay in their original stations, and whether they will adjust their positions will wait for the order of the Privy Council. ”
After the news of the formation of the new army was finished, Zhang Fu found that the expressions on the faces of the generals gradually changed again, most of them turned from worry to joy, but there were still some people who were still full of sadness, and he didn't want to guess the specific reason, and he didn't have so much leisure.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the newly formed Fenwu and Yangwu armies are directly under the front division of the palace, and from the perspective of establishment, they are the forbidden army in the forbidden army, and in terms of treatment, food and housing, they are many times better than the troops you were in before! But at the same time, there is another sentence to tell you, you have trained very hard in the selection camp, and it is for this reason that the imperial court decided to abolish the old army and form a new army. ”
The chamber was silent, and the mood of the lords fluctuated and their hearts were restless.
"What I want to say today, this official has already said. As for how to form a new army, whether you are fighting the armed forces or raising the armed forces, listen to the list announced by the Li and Shao commanders. ”
After Zhang Fu finished speaking, he glanced at Li Xianzhong and Shao Hongyuan, and then they hurriedly announced the list.
"Dragoons, Horsemen, Divine Horsemen......... The one who just called the name is the Fenwu Army! ”
Li Xianzhong was not verbose, took out the list that had already been written, and called them one by one.
"Guang Yong Army, Guangjie Army, Xiong Yong Army....... Those who are called by the name will join the Yangwu Army! ”
Shao Hongyuan also took out the prepared list and shouted out one by one.
"Okay, the Fenwu Army and the Yangwu Army have completed the distribution of 20 commands each, and the two armies have been officially completed!"
After announcing the list of commanders of each army, Zhang Fu said with a smile.
Then he ordered: "Li and Shao, since the new army has been built, I will give you three days to reorganize the army, and after three days, the Fenwu Army and the Yangwu Army must leave the general selection camp for a period of one month and return to their original station!" ”
"Yes, sir!"
Li Xianzhong and Shao Hongyuan got up to take the order.
"Alright, let's go and straighten out the new army." Zhang Fu said with a smile.
Li Xianzhong clasped his fists and saluted Zhang Fu and Zhao Ming, and then ordered the generals: "All the main generals of the Fenwu Army, gather in the inner school field!" ”
After walking, he strode towards the outside of the conference hall, and the main generals belonging to the Fenwu Army got up and left the conference hall as if in a dream.
"The main generals of the Yangwu Army, gather on the campus!"
Shao Hongyuan saluted Zhang Fu and Zhao Ying, and then strode away, followed by a group of generals.
In an instant, in addition to Zhao Yuan, Zhang Fu, and Yang Congyi, there was only one main general left in the crowded conference hall.
The Lord will sit alone on a stool, as on pins and needles, neither to walk nor to stay.
"You can leave, take your troops the way they came, and return to the garrison immediately, and you must not linger at will!"
As far as official positions are concerned, the chapter complex in the council hall is the largest, and Zhao Ying and Yang Congyi didn't speak, so he could only speak.
Who knew that the main general did not get up and leave, but stood in place, clasped his fists at several people in the council hall, and said respectfully: "My lords, the last general does not want to return to the Dragon Fierce Army, and he also wants to lead his brothers to join the new army. ”
Zhang Fu said with a smile: "The two new armies of Fenwu and Yangwu are full, and they can't accept other troops, so go back." ”
Who knew that the main general said: "My lord, can the last general stay in the camp of the generals?" ”
"Oh, why did you stay in the Election Camp?" Zhang Fu suddenly became a little interested.
"In the past few months in the general selection camp, the last general has led his brothers to train for six or seven hours every day, and now the training is quite effective, the morale is high, and the whole team is united. If he leaves the camp and returns to the old place, the last general believes that it will be difficult to unite the morale of the army, and he will soon become a plate of loose sand, wasting time in the camp! ”
The Lord will answer with a loud voice, and his reluctance will be heard in the Word.
He gave up the challenge of selecting generals, and Yang Congyi looked at him with a somewhat complicated gaze.
