"After the reform of my Ming army, the infantry and navy are all 5,000 people as a battalion, with the general soldier and the deputy commander-in-chief, with the assistance of the generals, and the cavalry is in charge of military discipline and salary, and the cavalry is a battalion with 3,000 people, with the general soldier and deputy commander-in-chief, and the guerrilla general assists, your Dashun army is basically a foot soldier, I have retained the establishment of eight battalions, and my Ming army is named after the number, such as the naval army with 16 battalions, 23 battalions, and 31 battalions, and the cavalry has 11 battalions and 12 battalions, and there are more foot soldiers. The implementation is a two-year rotation system, every two years, the battalion soldiers remain unchanged, the commanders are replaced, to prevent the generals from using the troops as private property, this is the system of the standing army, and there are also compulsory soldiers, all those who are in the middle of the age, are in turn to serve in the military for three months, that is, the garrison generals are not easily transferred, and the soldiers and horses under your command are changed in turn, you must be mentally prepared and get used to these. ”

"Don't worry, the general, since we have returned to the Ming Dynasty, we will naturally act according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty!" Gao Guiying naturally knew these things, Li Yan was in Xiangyang, and he had already met with them, and told them many rules of the Ming army, and they were already mentally prepared.

Cao Bianjiao also nodded, these rules were formulated by him personally, the purpose is to make the army a public weapon of the country, not the private property of the generals, the general soldier and the deputy general soldier will be changed every two years or so, even his own brother is the same, must be followed, no one is an exception.

"That's good! I will organize the Dashun Army into eight battalions of 57 battalions and 58 battalions, with Mrs. Gao leading the Zhenzi battalion, Li Guo leading the 57th battalion, Tian Jianxiu leading the 58th battalion, Gao Yigong 59 battalions, Liu Fangliang leading the 60th battalion, Yuan Zongdi leading the 61st battalion, Liu Tichun leading the 62nd battalion, and Li Laiheng leading the 63rd battalion, all of which commanded the troops with the rank of general; Dang Shousu, Zhang Nai, Wang Jincai, Hao Yongzhong, Li Benying, Zhang Shijie, Wu Ruyi, Li Shuangxi, Feng Xiong, Wang Wenyao and others are the deputy commanders-in-chief. Of course, this is an arrangement for the moment, and I know that the Dashun army has a large number of talents, and other arrangements will be made as appropriate in the future. Cao Bianjiao continued.

"Obey the general's orders!" Li Guo was the first to stand up and receive the order.

"Obey the general's orders!" The rest of the people also responded one after another.

"Song Xiance and Gu Junen are the generals, Yang Yongyu is the general's mansion experience, Song Qijiao is the prefect of Anxing Mansion, Yao Xiyin is the prefect of Ruzhou, and the rest of the people are all arranged, and you will all be courtiers of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and you hope to be loyal to your duties and benefit the people."

"Yes!" Song Xiance and others also bowed one after another.

"In addition, I have already been listed in the imperial court, Zehou Tian Jianxiu, Qihou Guying, Bohou Li Guo, Cihou Liu Fangliang, Yihou Zhang Nai, Mianhou Yuan Zongdi and others all need to be lowered by one order and become earls; Guangshan Bo Liu Tichun, Taiping Bo Wu Ruyi was demoted to viscount, and after having military exploits, and then promoted, you should not have a bad heart, after all, you have just arrived, and your strength has not been recognized, I am now a duke, only I Cao Bianjiao alone, and the marquis is only Yuan Shu, the governor of Hubei and Henan, and there are very few viscounts, but there are a few barons. ”

"The general's words are serious, I will understand!" Li Guo answered, and understood what Cao Bianjiao meant.

"Then I will announce your station, Mrs. Gao led your women's army to Xiangcheng to garrison, Liu Fangliang led your troops to Suizhou to garrison, Tian Jianxiu led your troops to Yunyang to garrison, Liu Tichun led your troops to Jinzhou to garrison, you all need to obey the moderation of Governor Yuan Shu; Li Laiheng stayed in Xiangyang, and the remaining three troops then went to Fengyang to garrison, which was under the command of my Cao Bianjiao. ”

"Yes!"

For Cao Bianjiao, the addition of the Dashun Army undoubtedly contributed to his Cao family's army, the original standing army of the Ming Dynasty was 300,000, although all of them were controlled by Cao Bianjiao, but the descendants of the Cao family army were only seventy or eighty thousand, but now there are forty or fifty thousand more, which is equivalent to being branded with the Cao family's army, and Cao Bianjiao's control over the military has also been strengthened a lot.

Yang Longyou took Li Laiheng, Yuan Zongdi, and Gao Yigong's men and horses to Fengyang to settle down, while Cao Bianjiao and Li Guo rushed to Luoyang to prepare to dig up the treasure that Li Zicheng bought, more than 10 million taels of silver, according to Li Guo, there are countless treasures, which are worth a lot of money, such a treasure is undoubtedly a big help for Cao Bianjiao, who is undergoing reform, he naturally can't ignore it, Shang Luoshan can't go for the time being, but Luoshui is now in his sphere of influence, so he is also after settling down the Dashun army, Start traveling to Luoyang to unlock this treasure.

Garrisoned in Luoyang is the veteran Yang Wenyue, when he followed Cao Bianjiao to Huainan to settle down, and then took charge of the defense of Anqing, because of the disease, and then after the resignation has been idle to recuperate, after the Nanjing Change, Cao Bianjiao once again enabled this Ming veteran, put him in the hub of Luoyang, as the defense of Luoyang.

At the foot of Luoshui and Nuji Mountain, five hundred sergeants are busy in full swing, Cao Bianjiao, Li Guo, and Yang Wenyue are waiting there, Li Guo is regretful, Cao Bianjiao is looking forward to it, Yang Wenyue is curious, Cao Bianjiao did not reveal the true purpose of this trip to anyone, and came under the banner of patrolling defense.

"General, you have dug a stone chamber!" A soldier sweated profusely and came to Cao Bianjiao to report.

Cao Bianjiao also showed a knowing smile, and said to Li Guo and Yang Wenyue beside him: "Let's go and have a look!" ”

Li Guo walked to the excavated stone room, nodded at the moment, and said to Cao Bianjiao: "This is here, this is the gate of the stone room, and entering from here is the stone room where the treasure is hidden." ”

"Hidden treasure?" Yang Wenyue muttered to himself full of doubts.

"It was the treasure buried here after King Li Chuang's defeat in the Battle of Huaiqing, so that the soldiers continued to dig and open the stone chamber."

"I see!" Yang Wenyue only understood at this moment, it turned out that this was Li Zicheng's treasure, no wonder Cao Bianjiao wanted to move the people so secretly.

It didn't take long for the door of the stone chamber to be dug open, and then the stone door was opened, Cao Bianjiao first let it disperse the air, waited for half an hour, let a soil dog go in, and found that it was okay, so he personally entered, wanting to see with his own eyes the wealth that Li Zicheng looted in Beijing, the Ming Dynasty hid the wealth of the gentry, Cao Bianjiao is very clear, Li Zicheng almost all the gentry in Beijing were looted, and the savings in the palace of the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty were all transported away, Although there is not much gold and silver in the palace of the Ming Dynasty, there are countless antiques accumulated over the years!

When Cao Bianjiao walked through the dim stone road, he also saw a lot of corpses along the way, and they were not weathered, thinking that it was for concealment, and the people who knew it were buried directly in it, and through the stone road, a stone room with a radius of 100 zhang appeared in front of him, and there were hundreds of boxes wrapped in cowhide in front of him.

"Order all the people to affix seals, tie them up with iron chains, and carry them all out, and no one shall open them, otherwise they will be immediately put to death!" Cao Bianjiao immediately gave an order, not to open, once they saw the light, someone was greedy and leaked the matter, then they couldn't do it quietly, Cao Bianjiao didn't want to alarm anyone.
