Because of the many affairs, the banquet only lasted about an hour, and everyone dispersed, but Gao Yihuan left Zhao Mingchong, Li Jiyu, and Liu Xuan behind.

Businessmen can only become big if they have a good reputation, and if a big husband wants to do something big, he also needs a good reputation.

Look at that Liu Bei, but he is a weaver and a peddler, and in the end he actually became Emperor Zhaolie of the Shu Han Dynasty, relying on his good reputation.

Zhao Mingchong was willing to sacrifice his military power to join Gao Yihuan, he was very satisfied, but he looked at Zhao Mingchong's reaction and felt that Zhao Mingchong might have some misunderstanding about him.

In the future, he will also command Zhongzhou Haojie, and his reputation must not be too bad.

Gao is only ruthless to the enemy, but to his own brother, which is still good.

People outside are always rumored to be ruthless in his heart, but in fact, as long as they sincerely take refuge in him, they are all good. For example, Wang Deren is very satisfied with the status quo.

At this time, in the lobby, Gao Yihuan first said to Zhao Mingchong: "Mingchong! This marshal thought about it and decided to send Li Hu as your deputy, and the 3,000 soldiers and horses in Yuncheng are still under your command. ”

As soon as others took refuge, they ate other people's soldiers and horses, and the appearance was a little ugly, which would ruin Gao Yihuan's reputation, so he did not accept Zhao Mingchong's suggestion, but let his nephew be his deputy, which could also serve the purpose of controlling the army.

Zhao Mingchong heard a tremor for a while, thinking that Gao Yihuan was still unwilling to let him go, and insisted on killing him, and he didn't even feel at ease when he asked himself to be a deputy, "Handsome, lowly position~"

"Don't say it yet!" Gao Yihuan waved his hand to interrupt him, "These three thousand people, you lead them first, and when the reorganization is completed in the future, if you are willing to change positions, this commander will change you again!" ”

Gao Yihuan has no doubt, he can't let this guy ruin his reputation and make others dare not take refuge in him.

Zhao Mingchong could only clench his fists when he saw this, "Humble duty, take orders." ”

He is not in a high mood, and it is estimated that he will have to open one eye when he sleeps for a period of time in the future, otherwise he will not be able to sleep soundly.

Gao Yihuan looked at his expression and couldn't help frowning slightly, is Lao Tzu so untrustworthy?

Gao Yihuan groaned for a while, and felt that he needed to find an opportunity to resolve everyone's misunderstanding of him, so that Zhongzhou and even the world would know that Gao was a good person, a hero, and a person worthy of being entrusted for life.

At this time, he looked at Chen Jiyu and Liu Xuan again, "Your original men and horses are too many and too mixed, most of them are farmers, their combat power is low, and it is useless to carry them, so they will each elect three thousand soldiers to lead, and the rest of the men and horses will be arranged by the commander." ”

The two of them hurriedly clasped their fists, "Obey the order, all obey the orders of the commander!" ”

The two of them knew each other very well, Gao Yihuan nodded with satisfaction, then glanced at the three people in the hall, and said: "The three of you, each of you has more than 3,000 people, that is, a battalion of soldiers." The commander will assign you a deputy, as well as some officers, so that you can build up as soon as possible. Do you have any comments? ”

If there is enough time, Gao Yihuan is ready to completely reorganize their men and horses, all the officers will enter the martial arts hall and return to the furnace, and the soldiers will also undergo three months of training, but they will soon have a battle with the Tartars, and Gao Yihuan can only arrange this for the time being.

Gao Yihuan arranged this way, obviously suspected of controlling the army and elevating them.

Li Jiyu hugged his fists and said, "The handsome man thinks about it." ”

"Dashuai is really worried!" Liu Xuan was also moved: "The marshal is really troubled for us to lead good soldiers!" ”

The three of them have no opinions, and they have to be admired, and the handsome man has thought it through.

Gao Yihuan gained a lot of troops to quell the rebellion this time, with three new attached battalions, nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, more than 100,000 prisoners, and Yuncheng, Xuzhou, and Xiangcheng.

Counting up, his current territory, plus his ally Liu Heizi, has occupied half of Henan.

The other half of Henan was occupied by the Shun army and the Qing army, each accounting for half.

As Zhao Mingchong took refuge in him, Yuncheng fell into the hands of Gao Yihuan, and Gao Yihuan's territory was completely connected.

Yuncheng is located at the junction of Kaifeng, Runing and Nanyang Mansion, which plays the role of connecting the three places, and Yuncheng is located in the north of Runing, which is also the gateway and barrier of Runing.

On this day, Gao Yihuan stood at the head of the city, watched the captives outside the city, divided into three groups, and went to Nanyang, Runing and Ruzhou like ants.

Some of them were going to Baofeng's mines, and some were going to undergo three months of training, and then they would be stationed in various places, so that Gao Yihuan could transfer some of his elite soldiers.

Otherwise, when he encounters a big battle, most of the elite soldiers will be pinned down in the place, which will greatly reduce his strength.

In doing so, he also prepared to further refine the functions of the army, and use 30,000 elite soldiers as the central army to free them from local defense.

However, this process has to be carried out gradually, and it can only be implemented after the local people have a certain combat power.

"Dashuai, the verdict has arrived!" At this time, Gao Chengwei suddenly came up to report.

Gao Yihuan was overjoyed when he heard this, "Please come over." ”

After a while, Lu Yi came over, "Handsome! ”

There was also a person behind him, wearing a nice robe and a scarf on his head, looking at Gao Yihuan with great interest.

At this time, Lu Yifang introduced: "Dashuai, this is Chen Mingxia, a person from Liyang, with a hundred histories, and Tanhualang in Chongzhen's sixteenth year, who was recommended by Liang Jushu and wants to join Dashuai." ”

Chen Mingxia? Gao Yihuan's heart moved, this person he is a little reflected, is the Jinshi of the Chongzhen Dynasty, Li Zicheng conquered Beijing and surrendered to Shun, after the Qing army entered the customs, went south to the south of the Yangtze River, because of the relationship of Shun, and then returned to the north to surrender to the Manchu Dynasty, and then made steady progress, has been a secretary of the academy, and then because of the party dispute, put forward the words "keep the hair and return to the clothes, the world is peaceful", and was killed by the Manchu Dynasty.

After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, there were two main factions among the Han gentry who surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, one faction was dominated by the Liaodong Han who first defected to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and a part of the Han people in the north, whose interests had long been combined with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the other part was the southeastern gentry.

The political force of the Jiangnan gentry was extremely active during the Ming Dynasty, but it was completely split in the early Qing Dynasty.

Some of them supported the court of the Southern Ming Dynasty and carried out the struggle against the Qing Dynasty, and some of them defected to the Qing court and became a force within the Qing court that wanted the Manchu Qing to carry out sinicization, that is, the Southern Party within the Qing court, but in the end it was brutally purged by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Han gentry were also completely subdued by the Qing court, reduced to slaves without political ideas and thoughts, and became a tool of rule.

Gao Yihuan was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Liang Yizhang to find such a person for him.

Now Gao Yihuan's subordinates, such as Jin Shenghuan, Wang Deren, Li Jiyu, and Chen Mingxia, are all people who have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in history, and then rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, or were killed by the Qing court.

It's also strange to say, how did he collect all such traitors?
