The decision to set up eighteen regiments in the Zhonghua Hall set the tone for the long-discussed issue of the restructuring of the escort team, but a more topical issue came - who was the regiment commander.

Next to the Houshan Market, several old people gathered around and enthusiastically discussed the topic that had just spread this morning. Ren Laohan entered the guard battalion as a captain because of his son, and now his status has also risen, and he has faintly become the core figure among these people.

"Brother, what kind of restructuring has the escort team done this time, your kid must be promoted again, but it's a blessing!"

One of the old men looked at Old Man Ren and said enviously.

"You mean it's a long way off! This kid has been a lot more sensible recently, otherwise he wouldn't be able to live up to the good name given by Mr. Huanzhang, but if he is promoted, he is not seen, compared with the battalion commanders, he is still tender. ”

Ren Laohan was proud in his heart when he heard this, and he deliberately brought out Wen Huanzhang's name.

"In my opinion, there is still a chance, you think that many people have been promoted to regiment commander, and the battalion commander will be much vacant, and the personal guard battalion is superior, if it is released, at least it will be a deputy battalion commander."

The other old man seemed to understand more, and what he said was very reasonable.

"Chongyuan has not been in the guard camp for many days, and I hope that he will stay in it for more time, so that he can learn more skills by the side of the petty officials. However, this regiment commander, I think the two battalion commanders of Su Sheng and Sun An will undoubtedly be promoted, and the other brother of Master Lu, who is extraordinary in martial arts and is also a petty official, should also occupy one. Yuan Lang and Teng Ji two battalion commanders one in Lijiadaokou and one in Yinmachuan, it is said that there are regiments in those two places, but no one competes for their positions, but the remaining two battalion commanders of the infantry battalion are difficult to guess, it is said that the battalion commander of Ma Xian has the most seniority, and he follows the petty officials when he is young, but I think that with the character of a petty official, he must think of others first, and the remaining only Shangguanyi battalion commander, Wu Song battalion commander, and Deng Yuanjue Master are the most qualified. ”

Ren Laohan is worthy of being a well-informed person, and after some analysis, he actually looks decent.

"What the elder brother said is true, if this is the case, who should go up in the cavalry?"

When several old men saw that what Ren Laohan said was the way, they couldn't help but be attracted and immediately asked about the situation of the cavalry.

But Ren Laohan was a little proud, so he pretended to be hypocritical and said: "The cavalry battalion is difficult, but Zhou Yunqing's battalion commander occupies a position, but it is certain, the other battalion commanders have all gone up the mountain in recent years, and the old man doesn't know much about it, but he doesn't dare to talk nonsense." ”

It is said that at a time when there was a lot of discussion among the people in the market about the selection of the regiment commander, everyone in the Military and Political Department, who was in charge of personnel, was very busy. Gu Haotian asked to put forward a plan within two days, and Xiao Jiasui did not touch the ground, so he went to Guan Sheng's house at noon that day.

After Guan Sheng returned to Liangshan Manor in the first half of the year, his family also received it to the mountain, because Tang Bin and Hao Siwen were alone, and the three brothers lived in a courtyard.

When Xiao Jiasui came in, the three of them were sitting together about to eat, and he opened his mouth and shouted:

"Camp Commander Guan, please put on another pair of dishes and chopsticks, I ran for a long time but starved to death."

The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then saw that it was Xiao Jiasui, and immediately understood his intention, and hurriedly greeted him together.

Guan Sheng immediately spoke: "Director Xiao, a busy man, is willing to come to my house, I am happy that it is still too late, please take a seat." ”

"Brother doesn't talk darkly, I've been really busy these two days, the plains

The three of them all know that they want to talk to the three brothers when they come here to eat today. ”

Guan Sheng and the three of them didn't feel sudden when they heard Xiao Jiasui's words, they only pulled him to the upper seat and sat down, poured the wine, and after the four of them went down with two glasses each, Xiao Jiasui put down his chopsticks. The three of them knew that the subject was coming, and they all fell silent for a while.

"The three brothers are the three heroes of Pudong, each with an extraordinary ability, but it is a good story to work together in Liangshan Manor today, and the little officials have praised it many times in front of us. This time, the candidates for the commander of the regiment, it is said that all three of them are qualified, but there are too few positions, and the Military Administration Department has thought about it again and again, and can only propose any one of them. ”

"The petty officials and the Military Administration Department are already very grateful to think of our brothers, if you want to recommend a candidate for the head of the regiment from among us, it must be Brother Guan."

As soon as Xiao Jiasui finished speaking, Tang Bin immediately expressed his position, and Hao Siwen also expressed his support. However, Guan Sheng disagreed, he said that according to the three conditions of selection, he was not as good as the two brothers in terms of qualifications and merits, and his ability was not outstanding, and he would feel ashamed if he went up.

Xiao Jiasui came over for two main purposes, one is to let him understand that they are valued in the manor, and the other is to let the three of them push one candidate by themselves, so as not to embarrass themselves. When he saw that everything had been reached, he said:

"The three brothers Gao Fengliang admired him, and the head of the regiment was finally decided by the petty officials, and there was no need to push them now, just don't feel wronged. Brother Guan Sheng quickly pour the wine, I have to rush to another place. ”

When the three of them saw this, they no longer argued, but their hearts were warm, so they raised their glasses and toasted.

Gu Haotian has not been idle these days, the infantry and sailors are not too big a problem, he is mainly worried that it is difficult to balance the cavalry battalion, in his mind, Xu Ning, Yang Zhi, Qin Ming, Luan Tingyu, Hu Yanzhuo, Guan Sheng are all suitable candidates for the commander of the regiment, but in addition, Zhou Yunqing is the first battalion commander of the cavalry, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the founder is not an exaggeration, and it is unreasonable not to let him occupy one; After the bow barracks were dismantled, Pang Wanchun was about to serve in the cavalry, and he was also a strong contender for regiment commander; In addition, Teng Jian and Sun Xin are also very strong.

Therefore, Gu Haotian faced a group of cattle under his command and fell into happy troubles for a while.

The two-day period was coming soon, and Xiao Jiasui took the fruits of the two days of hard work and found Gu Haotian.

"Petty officials, the cavalry battalion is not enough to set up five regiments, whether it is the candidate for the regiment commander, or the candidate for the battalion commander can not be arranged, I suggest that at least seven regiments should be set up, even so the arrangement of some personnel is also difficult, the cavalry battalion is currently fourteen battalion commanders, to first produce seven regiment commanders, in accordance with the qualifications, merits, ability and the principle of taking into account all parties, I have initially decided on the candidates for the commander of the seven cavalry regiments, namely Zhou Yunqing, Pang Wanchun, Yang Zhi, Qin Ming, Luan Tingyu, Hu Yanzhuo, Guan Sheng, Xu Ning is the commander of the Dengzhou garrison, But there are still six battalion commanders left, Tang Bin and Hao Siwen also petitioned to give up Guan Sheng, and Wang Yan's new arrival is easy to arrange, but it is Teng Huan, Wang Yu, and Sun Xin who are the most difficult, and the qualifications of the first two are ranked second and third in the cavalry except for Zhou Yunqing. There is also that Sun Xin, after all, he is under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou, and he also helped us a lot when we attacked the Four Seas Commercial Bank before, and it is not easy to arrange. ”

Xiao Jiasui poured bitter water as soon as they met, the candidates for the infantry regiment and the sailor regiment were relatively easy, but the conditions of the more than ten battalion commanders of the cavalry battalion were too close, and his hair was gray in the past two days.

And Gu Haotian listened to Xiao Jiasui's report of several candidates for the head of the regiment, and secretly considered that they were all in line with his own wishes, and couldn't help but think that it was really a hero who saw the same thing

。 But for the three tricky candidates he pointed out, he only thought that Wang Yu was relatively difficult. Sun Xin is going to temporarily arrange to be Lin Chong's side as a deputy, so that he will not be humiliated, as for Han Shizhong, the tiger general, naturally he can't let him stay in the training camp for too long, otherwise he will lose his sharpness. Teng Ji's brother Teng Ji will definitely be promoted to the head of the regiment this time, and it is okay to be the younger brother's one more time. There is only one king who is difficult. How to communicate with him well? He suddenly thought of a person in his heart - Zhao Ding, the two of them were paired up to envoy Jin Guo at that time, and they had a good relationship and happened to speak, so he immediately invited Zhao Ding.

In the evening of the same day, in the Zhonghua Hall, the meeting on the reform of the military system of the escort force was held as scheduled, and it was the same people who had discussed the plan two days earlier. On behalf of the Military Affairs Department, Xiao Jiasui read out the proposed number of regiment-level establishments and the composition and number of officers and personnel of each regiment, and then everyone had a full discussion, and finally everyone approved the plan for the restructuring of the Liangshan Escort Force, and the candidates for the regiment commander and deputy regiment commander were also freshly released.

On the second day, the Military Administration Office issued a notice that a meeting would be held at the Chung Hwa Hall on September 15, three days later. As soon as the proclamation came out, a stone suddenly struck a thousand waves, and people were surging all over the manor, inside and outside the guards, and people thought about the prophet as soon as possible, and they all inquired about the candidate for the new head of the regiment, so the people who attended the meeting that night became the object of people's scrambling. The strange thing is that the more than 20 battalion commanders who are in the center of the discussion are surprisingly calm, most of them already know their positions, and they also keep in mind the military discipline of "three disciplines and eight points of attention", so they have avoided relevant topics intentionally or unintentionally.

At noon on the second day of the Zhonghua Hall meeting, Gu Haotian asked the kitchen to prepare a few small dishes, and specially invited Zhao Ding and Wang Yu to the house to sit down.

"This time, there are seven new regiments in the cavalry, of which four regiment commanders are produced from the original imperial court officers, and if you add the Xu Ning brothers in Dengzhou, it will be five, so the military administration office and I have to consider the balance. In fact, compared with the other brothers, Brother Wang is not bad in terms of qualifications and ability, so he didn't consider you as the head of the regiment, just because you were relatively young. However, it will not have to be too long, and the manor's guard will definitely be expanded further, and there will be other arrangements at that time. ”

After the three of them sat down, Gu Haotian said something, in fact, Wang Yu was not arranged to be the head of the regiment, the most fundamental reason was that his martial arts were relatively weak, but it was difficult to say this, so he could only talk about age.

But Wang Yu was very reasonable, in fact, when he said that he wanted to set up five regiments in the cavalry, he didn't put himself in it at all. When he was in the forbidden army, he was just a capital head, and after he arrived in Liangshan, the petty officials directly appointed him as the battalion commander, which was already very important, like that Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng were the main generals of the first army, Qin Ming was the commander of a state, Yang Zhi was once the envoy of the palace marshal's mansion, even after committing the crime, it was a group training, and he was also insufficient in martial arts, so when Zhao Ding looked for him that day, he was not a little unhappy about the arrangement of the military and political office. He thought of the time when the forbidden army was suppressed for several years, and who had said half a nice word to himself, he was very moved for a while, and immediately got up and said solemnly:

"The petty officials don't need to be careful, they know their weight very well, and they also know the military discipline of the escort team, no matter how arranged in the manor."

At noon that day, the three of them had a good drink, and Wang Yu and Zhao Ding laughed and went. Gu Haotian made an appointment with Teng Jian again in the evening, this person is also a straight person, so naturally he doesn't have much to say.

The three-day deadline was soon reached, and the relevant battalion commanders of the nearby Crouching Tiger Village and Lijia Daokou also returned to the mountain, so the people of the entire manor were excitedly waiting for that moment to come.
