In addition to issuing a convening order to summon all armies to participate in the selection of generals, another thing is to issue an order to recruit the four commanding forces of the Xuanwei Army to build a general selection camp.

Since the commander of the capital agreed to recruit four commanders and two thousand troops, Yang Congyi naturally would not be too much, and there were people in his hands, and when he set up a camp in Yiwu County, he had confidence in his heart.

In the convening order, Yang Congyi determined that the departure time of each candidate team is the first day of September, and the deadline for arrival is October 15, and the nearly two months from July to September is the time for the construction of the election camp.

Xuanwei army from Mingzhou Changguo to Wuzhou Yiwu, if the march speed is fast, the road is not delayed, from Changguo through Mingzhou Fenghua County, through Shaoxing Fusheng County or Xinchang, along the official road all the way to the west, will be able to arrive within ten days.

In this way, the time for the construction of the camp for the selection of generals is at least one and a half months, and there is still nearly a month for the marching of the various armies, and two and a half months to build the camp for the selection of generals, the time is not too tight, of course, the premise is that the Xuanwei Army has not relaxed its military discipline training in the past six months.

What is now in front of Yang Congyi is the requisition of the Xuanwei Army, which commanders, which generals.

Last year in Anyuan County, Guangnan, when the Xuanwei Army was divided into two, the camps on both sides were very clear, and later the whole army marched into Liangshan and joined forces again, but when he returned to Qinzhou, his relationship with Su Zhong, Pan Cheng, and Yao Chang was still closer, after all, they were people who stood up to support themselves and wanted to fight.

Originally, Yang Congyi still had concerns, worried that choosing to be close to his generals would cause criticism, but since the commanders and adults agreed to recruit Xuanwei Army, it showed that he supported himself and put the matter of selecting generals first. Moreover, the few of them supported themselves at the beginning, not because they were close before, but because they dared to go out to fight, and the friendship they left after fighting together.

Without much consideration, Yang Congyi immediately drafted a requisition order, requisitioning and transferring the Xuanwei Army to the full command of the four troops, plus Su Zhong, Pan Cheng, Yao Chang, Luo Cong and other generals.

Send it to the commander of the capital to make the Lord look at it, and after confirming that there is no problem, copy a copy, select the general division, the front of the palace, and the Privy Council.

The time for the selection of generals and the mobilization of the army has come to an end for the time being, and the remaining issue of 1.5 million yuan of money and food will be implemented, as well as the necessary military resources for the selection of generals.

After Yang Cunzhong personally went to the household department and coordinated with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, all the money and grain allocated by the household department were converted into grain, and they were collected from the treasury of Wuzhou and Quzhou, and the household department gave a special voucher for the payment, and all the money and grain borne by the inner treasury were paid in cash, which was nearly one million yuan, which was a huge amount of money.

1.5 million yuan of money and grain have been implemented, and the selection of generals has been brought back, and the urgent tasks in the early stage of the selection of generals have been basically completed, and there are still some remaining things, such as selecting senior evaluators, receiving military funds, etc., these things can be done later, and there is no need for Yang Congyi to do it personally.

After all the things to be done by the election of the generals, Yang Congyi will turn his goal to the election of generals.

Yang Congyi originally didn't know anything about him, but after consulting the commander of the commander, he knew that the king of Pu'an was actually the adopted son of the current emperor Zhao Gou.

In the past, when I was in school, it was recorded in the history books that Song Gaozong Zhao Gou passed the throne to his adopted son after the failure of Yan Liang's southern invasion, and his adopted son was Song Xiaozong, who had the ambition of the Northern Expedition, but Zhao Gou's adopted son was more than one, I wonder if this King of Pu'an County will be the future Song Xiaozong!

Because he had studied history, he was more interested in the Northern Expedition of the Southern Song Dynasty, and he had some impressions of the emperor who had the ambition of the Northern Expedition, so Yang Congyi still remembers that Song Xiaozong's name is Zhao Yan.

But when he learned from the mouth of the commander of the capital that the king of Pu'an was named Zhao Jin, he was quite disappointed, he originally wanted to contact the future emperor in advance, and first establish a good relationship with him, so that he might be able to be reused during the Northern Expedition in the future and make great achievements, but he didn't expect that this king of Pu'an was not the future Song Xiaozong Zhao Yan at all.

However, Yang Congyi can also understand that the Great Song Dynasty was still civilized and suppressed the military, how could it be possible to let people who may inherit the throne in the future participate in the military, go deep into the army, personally command the army, and surrender their identity?

Thinking about it like this, Yang Congyi was also relieved, it was impossible to see the future emperor in the army, but it must be beneficial for a prince to come to the army and have some relationship with him, after all, the Song Dynasty is different from other dynasties, it will not kill the clan indiscriminately, and there is no such thing as a prince rebelling, and it should be a matter of time before he can become their close minister and be reused by the court.

But the commander told Yang Congyi that the king of Pu'an County is relatively young, and he has been raised in the palace since he was a child, and he only moved out of the palace a few years ago and lived alone in the palace, except for the death of his biological father and his departure from Lin'an to keep filial piety, he has almost spent more than ten years in the palace and the palace, and has never been contaminated with military affairs, so the king of Pu'an County will not interfere in the matter of selecting the general's camp, and he will not appear before the official start of the selection of generals.

As for how long he will stay in the camp after the election begins, there is no fixed number at present, it depends on his mood and the attitude of the imperial court. If he felt that the army was acceptable, he would stay for two more days, or he would move out of the barracks and live elsewhere. In addition, if the opposition of the imperial court is too loud, he will not stay in Wuzhou for a long time.

To put it bluntly, the matter of selecting the general camp, from the beginning to the end, is likely to be responsible for Yang Congyi to the end, and as a deputy marshal, he will be responsible for everything.

If the armies arrive at the general camp as scheduled, the number will exceed 20,000 people, during which all kinds of miscellaneous things are unimaginable, he alone is not busy even if he has three heads and six arms, and the general selection department is a temporary organization, except for him and the captain Li Hu, there is no other available person, just go to Wuzhou, he is busy and don't want to complete the task of selecting generals.

Manpower, just like when he supervised Hui Yi, what he lacks most now is manpower, he could recruit at the beginning, and of course he can now, because he, the deputy commander, is responsible for all the selection of generals, how can he do it without this authority.

Besides, listening to the meaning of the commander, the king of Pu'an will not show up before the official start of the selection of generals, let alone leave Lin'an, and the commander has not arrived, so the deputy marshal will naturally have to shoulder all the responsibilities.

Yang Congyi's first thought was Shen Jin and Jiang Kai, who were drinking together not long ago, they were both people who participated in the recruitment of the Huaixi army, traveled with the army, and trained the new army, they were very familiar with the Xuanwei army, and they were no strangers to the army, and Jiang Kai was also responsible for the supply of logistics materials, and the two of them were the most suitable candidates.

made up his mind, Yang Congyi immediately left the official office and went straight to the Dongyue Inn in Dingminfang, but Shen Jin and the others were not in the room, and they didn't know where to go.

It is very important to invite the two of them to join the selection camp, if Yang Congyi does not wait for them today, in case the two of them leave tomorrow and change their residence, Lin'an is so big, it will be very troublesome to find them again, and they may not be able to find them.

Yang Congyi waited at the Dongyue Inn from noon to dusk, until Miao Jiu, who commanded the yamen to find the inn from the front of the palace, asked him if he wanted to go back, and he had the intention of leaving. At that time, I suddenly remembered why I had to wait here, and left a message for the innkeeper, asking him to tell Shen Jin and Jiang Kai that he was looking for the two of them to discuss urgent matters, and went to the front of the palace to command the yamen to meet.

But after thinking about it, I feel that if the trustee made a mistake, wouldn't it delay the big thing?

As soon as he thought of this, he asked the shopkeeper for a pen and paper, left a text message for the two of them, and left an address, and told him that the two of them must go to him within two days.

When to leave Lin'an and go to Yiwu, Wuzhou, Yang Congyi has already set a date, the day after tomorrow, on the eighth day of the seventh month.

The day of departure is chosen after Qixi Festival, and it is necessary to accompany Qingchen to pass this festival before leaving.

When she returned home that day, Qingchen said very little, although she still surrounded Yang Congyi and waited back and forth, but the look on her face told her husband that she was actually very unhappy.

But Yang Congyi was so preoccupied with the matter of the election camp in Yiwu, Wuzhou, that he had no time to take care of Qingchen's emotions and thoughts.

After a silent dinner, Qingchen returned to the inner room early and never came out.

Although Yang Congyi felt that she was a little strange, he didn't have the heart to explore, and walked around and sat in the courtyard for a while, then returned to the study to continue planning the construction of the general camp.

Although the commander does not participate in the selection of generals, how to select generals, what specific regulations and standards are formulated in advance, let him see it, after all, the selection of generals is a major matter of the front division of the palace, and as the commander of the front division of the palace, of course, he must personally control it.

The matter in the camp is more complicated, because it involves specific implementation, and when more than 20,000 people gather, the slightest mistake will turn into a big problem.

Although Yang Congyi had recruited six or seven thousand people to supervise Hui Yi before, there were many people to help at that time, and the entire Xuanwei Army of more than 4,000 people did not need him to intervene personally.

But now it is different, it is more than 20,000 people from nearly forty forbidden armies that need to be straightened out, and there are no available people under them at present. The pressure on him from the election camp can be imagined.

Yang Congyi wrote and painted in the study for a long time, and I don't know how long it took, and there was no sound in the yard anymore.

Qingchen was already asleep lying inside, Yang Congyi had no intention of disturbing her, took off his coat and extinguished the candles, and lay down on the outside of the bed to sleep.

As soon as he lay down, Qingchen turned over and threw himself into his arms.

Caressing her back, I was about to say something, when I suddenly heard her sobbing.
