Longxu Lake, Yunlong Villa, after autumn, the frost leaves are red, the sky is high and the clouds are light, it is a good season for outings. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoLin Chong invited his subordinates to stay in Yunlong Villa for two days.

The main officials from Dongkuo were Chen Dong, Pei Xuan, Lu Qing, Zhang Wan, An Daoquan and others, Xiagou came from Shusheng, Yehu Ao, Hu Wen, Tang An and others, and the wolf army included Lu Zhishen, Shi Qian, Yang Zhi, Zhu Wu, Han Shizhong, Monkey, Li Jun, Zhang San, Li Si, Sun Erniang, Zhuang Fei, Huang Lei, Leng Yan, Ren Dosa, Li Hurong, etc.

Also coming this time were the well-known gentry and merchants from Dongkuo and Xiagou, and there were about thirty-four people who came. One by one, they were anxious and watched, even if they saw a civilian and military general they knew or were familiar with, they hurriedly stepped forward to pull the relationship closer.

These people didn't have confidence in Lin Chong yet, but after the secret agreement of Qiligang leaked out from the party, many people's mentality immediately changed.

"Lin Chong promises not to take the initiative to wage war against the party within three years!" What is hidden in this is something that anyone with a discerning eye can see.

It must be that the party has calculated and found that it can't defeat the wolf army, so it's instigated. At the expense of a large number of benefits, in exchange for a three-year commitment of peace.

Now that the Wild Wolf Army has gained a foothold in Dongkuo and Xiagou, this group of famous business gentry naturally saw the opportunity quickly and took refuge early. For example, large households from all walks of life such as water transportation, rice grain, wine and food, handmade hardware, medical halls and pharmacies, and even monks, Taoists and Confucianists have come to listen to the mouth.

Lin Chong already knew their general thoughts from Chen Dong and Yehu Ao's channels, and he understood these people's worries very well. Corresponding preparations were made in advance, and this time it was solved together.

Because now the wolf army is in the belly of the party, like an enclave, if you have to wait for the imperial court to issue an order everywhere, the daylily will be cold. Therefore, in order to make quick decisions and improve strain efficiency,

In addition, Lin Chong and a total of 25 senior military and political officials held a meeting in advance, and the first agenda item was to form an autonomous prefecture cabinet and select seven permanent cabinets out of the 25 cabinets.

There are no fools present, this is the time to determine the team, since it involves power, no one is not careful.

Because the state of war has not yet been lifted, there are more cabinet members in the military system, but Lin Chong made binding clauses in advance. In view of the importance of the land-administration relationship, within three years, the entire Cabinet must be expanded to 49 members, and the proportion of the Executive Cabinet must gradually rise to 70%.

At this point, Lu Zhishen and Shi Qian both supported Lin Chong, so the military acquiesced to this restrictive clause. According to the current ratio of 25 people occupying 15 seats, at most one or two more military cabinets will be added within three years.

In fact, Lin Chong did not intend to increase the military's voice at all, on the contrary, to a certain extent, it would gradually weaken the military's intervention in local administration, and once the military manipulated the supreme power, it would often bring destructive consequences.

It's okay to ride a horse to rule the world, but I haven't heard of riding a horse to rule the world. Now Lin Chong doesn't mind using his authority to put a tight spell on the army, not to suppress the army, but to take into account the demands of other groups.

Politics is the product of compromise, politics is the game of the strong, and in the face of strength, rules are only rules.

Lin Chong naturally knew that his decision would cause criticism from middle-level generals, but relying only on the fierce army could not save his life. Unless Dongkuo and Xiagou are built stronger, they can deter the party and the imperial court.

In order to engage in production and construction, it is necessary to rely on officials and gentry to carry out government decrees, and the role of the army is not great. In fact, whether the political and people's livelihood is good or not is also very important to the construction of the army.

Zhu Wu, Li Jun, Zhang San, and Huang Lei felt that they had only gained the situation by fighting for life and death, but instead they wanted to let the civil officials like weak chickens take advantage, and they would have to ride on their heads and in the future, which was quite a lot of complaints.

Lin Chong asked Zhu Wu, "Why was Shaohua Mountain breached?" It's not because I have a lot of people, nor because of how clever my tactics are, but because you don't have a base area, you don't have your own logistical support, and I have a guarantee of land and political relations, and you spend three months, and how many days do you consume? ”

"To be honest with you, war is not about having a large number of soldiers, but about comprehensive strength. We have fought so many opponents before, including this time when the party's 100,000-strong army is coming, why can we defeat them? It is only by relying on the morale of the military, logistical support, science and technology forging, and so on to be stronger than others. ”

The generals were trained by Lin Chong silently, and no one dared to talk nonsense.

In the end, Lu Zhishen touched the new stubble that had grown, and picked up the conversation: "One or two can withstand it, right?" Isn't it great to be able to win a battle? Don't think you've bled or sweated to be pretentious here! Go and see, the same Western Army, the same Imperial Forbidden Army, what kind of life are you living? Hou Ye did this, you don't appreciate it, but talk nonsense, you have to implement what you understand, and you go back and slowly understand it after you don't understand it. If you hear me a lot of strange things, military law is not emotional. ”

He was ruthless, and he was obviously very touched below, and he was indeed unambiguous in leading troops for training in peacetime, and beating and scolding were common. But Lu Zhishen rarely blushes in private, and it is the first time that he has reprimanded so many generals in the bright light today.

Today is Shi Qian's first official appearance in the northwest, and finally he rolled his eyes and stood up to play a round.

"Brothers, don't worry, we are all party members here, and we can't wait to eat the meat that smashed the door and drink our blood. As the saying goes, although the sparrows are small, they have all the organs, and without the support of land and political relations, we can't even drink hot soup. What's more, in the future, we will have a third city, and ten or twenty are also possible, so although the share is small, in fact, the status is still greatly raised. ”

The three giants of the Wild Wolf Army all spoke, proving that they had all reached a consensus and could no longer be ignorant.

Zhu Wu was a little embarrassed, so he nodded and said, "It's all up to the three chiefs." ”

These words come out, even if they represent the compromise of these young Zhuang factions in the division of power in the cabinet.

"Easier said than done!" Lin Chong smiled and said, "It's all about the Tao, don't forget when it comes to yourself." You are the family foundation that the wolf army has come to this day step by step, and you have finally accumulated, don't have the idea of hiding all the birds. Of course, we can't forget our roots, we were originally poor people, and we have our current status through hard work, but compared with those martyrs who sacrificed, isn't it ashamed? ”

Sure enough, these words touched every general present.

Before and after, the soldiers of the Wild Wolf Army who died were almost 3,000 people. Their family can only get a pension of 30 yuan, and they are lucky to survive, and they are definitely the best of the lucky ones to be able to sit here.

So Lin Chong only reminded them not to forget their roots, and as soon as they settled down, they began to think carefully.

This must be prevented.
