Before meeting with the generals, Zhao Ziliang first met with his son Zhao Ting, learned about the current situation of the Beiting Army and other armies, and learned that the morale of the soldiers was a little low because of the retreat and retreat of the previous defense line.

In the lobby of the Marshal's Mansion, Zhao Ziliang met with the generals, and found that except for Chu Ge, Li Siye, and Li Sheng, the others were somewhat blessed, so he asked: "Bai Xiaode, why do you all look fat?" ”

Bai Xiaode and a few others were a little embarrassed and said: "The big man is not here, no one supervises our daily drills, and there has been no war on the front line for most of the past half a year, so I am a little slack!" ”

Zhao Ziliang snorted: "What is unsupervised? I think you're just a little lazy, and since you said that there is no one to supervise, then from this day on, I will supervise you! I heard that the training in the army has been wasted for a long time, and the morale of the soldiers is relatively low. After this meeting, each of you will go back to grasp the daily drills and military discipline of your subordinates, but I will send someone to secretly investigate, if anyone does not take my words seriously, or is perfunctory, my board will fall and it will not matter who is beaten, do you understand? ”

The generals immediately said: "Yes, Dashuai! ”

These people are all descendants of Zhao Ziliang, they have been with him for many years, everyone knows his temper, if you make a mistake, he is angry with you and punishes you, it means that he attaches great importance to you, but if you make a mistake and he does not punish you, it means that you are not saved, and it means that he has given up on you in his heart.

Next, Zhao Ziliang asked everyone about the situation in their respective armies and the movements and news of the rebels east of Hangu Pass.

After sending the generals back to the front line of Hanguguan, Zhao Ziliang began to improve the various institutions of the Marshal's Mansion, he first sent people to inform Zheng San and Cen Shen in Chang'an, so that they could rush to Shaanxi County to participate in the formation and improvement of the various institutions of the Marshal's Mansion, and then appointed Du Fu as a senator, from the previous Senate to the Senator, this is a big progress, the Senator is only a personal staff, and the Senator is not only his staff, but also an official official of the imperial court, the grade has reached the top of the six grades, and the lower can be a middle-level magistrate in the local area.

Zhao Ziliang found Du Fu and said, "I heard that Wang Wei is still at home in Chang'an? ”

Du Fu nodded and said: "Yes, that kind of thing happened to him, although there is a big marshal who asked someone to intercede before and no longer pursue it, but the yamen of the imperial court dare not use him anymore, and he has not yet been able to enter the emperor's eyes, and he can't go to the local area, so he can only stay at home to raise flowers and read."

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said to Du Fu: "In this way, you write a letter to Wang Jin, the servant of the Criminal Department, saying that my Marshal's Mansion needs an old and serious person to deal with copywriting matters, and let him ask Wang Wei to see if he is willing to come, he has also been a judge of Hexi Jiedu before, and he knows more about copywriting matters in military affairs than others, and he is much more experienced!" If he wants to come, I'll keep this place for him, and if he doesn't, let him reply as soon as possible, so I can find someone else! ”

Du Fu agreed: "Okay, handsome! ”

"Well, you go get busy!" Zhao Ziliang said and began to deal with official business.

Not long after Du Fu left, he came back again, Zhao Ziliang looked up when he heard the voice, and asked, "Why are you back again?" ”

Du Fu said: "Handsome, Li Bai is asking to see you outside the door!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "I thought he would continue to be his county magistrate in Luoyang?" How did they get to Shaanxi? ”

Du Fu said with a smile: "Li Bai's temperament is indeed a little stubborn, but he is not stupid, after the Beiting Army withdrew to Hangu Pass, as soon as he saw that the situation was not right, he quickly followed and ran into Hangu Pass, and he has been moving around Hangu Pass and Tongguan all year round!" ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and ordered: "Okay, you let him in!" ”

It didn't take long for Li Bai to be brought in by Du Fu, and when he saw Zhao Ziliang, he bowed and did not bend down, Zhao Ziliang said in his conscience that it is no wonder that you can't be an official, the emperor doesn't want to use you, just your pure and lofty temperament, I'm afraid that you won't be able to eat anywhere.

"I've seen the big handsome!"

Zhao Ziliang asked: "Li Bai, I haven't seen you for a long time, where have you been messing around lately?" ”

Li Bai's face turned red and said: "Thanks to the great handsome, Li Bai has recently indulged in landscapes and rivers in Tongguan and Hangu Pass, and talked about poetry and wine with friends!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Then what are you doing here with me today?" I'm so busy now, I don't have time to talk about poetry and wine with you, and I don't know poetry, poetry is such a high-end and high-grade thing, I don't have the ability to play! ”

Li Bai felt a little embarrassed, coughed twice and said, "Don't hide it from the handsome, I'm here to ask for an official today!" ”

Zhao Ziliang exclaimed: "What? You say you ask for an officer? Did I hear me right? Last year, I asked you to be the commander of Luoyang County, you couldn't do it at all, and finally Du Fu gave you the idea to let you barely go on the road, it is said that after the rebels hit near Luoyang, you immediately ran away with gold and silver when you saw that the situation was not good, and lost the people under your rule to the rebels, so that the rebels ruined and killed them! I want to ask you, are you too unconscionable as a parent official, you are sorry for my trust in you, and you are sorry for the people who have been harmed by the rebels, what do you say? You still want to come to me to ask for an official, do you think I can rest assured that you can continue to be an official? If you have to be an official, you can also, for the sake of you and I have known each other for many years, I will let you be a small official in our army, and you can't be a magistrate, because your current talent and experience can't do it at all, you start from a horseman in our army, if you can calmly accept the work of a horseman, and can do it well, it means that you are qualified to do a higher position, otherwise you can only achieve nothing in your life! Think for yourself! ”

Li Bai's face was a little ugly, and he was very sad in his heart, why did the world treat me like this? What exactly am I doing wrong?

Du Fu tugged at Li Bai's sleeve, Li Bai turned his head to look at Du Fu, saw him blink, and nodded slightly, in trust in Du Fu, Li Bai gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay, I'll start with a groom, I don't believe that I can't even be a groom!" ”

Zhao Ziliang sneered: "That's not necessarily, being a groom is a technical job, and being a groom is not as simple as you think!" Come to someone, take him to the military horse officer, let him be a groom, find someone to teach him how to feed horses, raise horses, train horses, nail horses, if he doesn't study seriously, let him be beaten and scolded, if he is disobedient, let him go! ”

Li Bai's face turned dark when he heard this, and he almost turned around and left, but Du Fu still grabbed him.

After two or three days, Zheng San and Cen Shen rushed over from Chang'an respectively, Zhao Ziliang met with them for a while, and asked about the raising of grain, grass, military salaries and armaments in the past year, and learned that the imperial court was still not harsh on the army in this regard, and the supply should be sufficient supply, which made Zhao Ziliang feel at ease.

Zhao Ziliang said to several staff: "There are 110,000 troops in Hangu Pass, including 40,000 in the main force of the Beiting Army. In addition, there are 10,000 cavalry composed of surrendered troops commanded by Zhao Ting, and there are also 10,000 infantry composed of surrendered troops under Li Sheng, and there are 50,000 under Li Siye. Besides, we can't always treat them differently, so I wonder if we should reorganize all these 70,000 people into the Beiting Army, no longer treat them differently, and treat them the same as the Beiting Army in terms of military salaries, on the one hand, we can improve their morale and combat ability, and on the other hand, it will also facilitate our command and increase the strength of the Beiting Army. ”

Cen Shen's military insights are much deeper than those of Zheng San and Du Fu and others, and he said: "There are many advantages for the marshal to do this, and I think it is feasible, but if you want to reorganize, I don't know what the marshal plans are?" ”

Zhao Ziliang took out a copy of the reorganization plan he had drafted and handed it to Cen Shen, saying, "You take a look at this first!" ”

When Cen was watching, Zhao Ziliang said to the other staff: "My idea is to divide the whole army into several armies, namely the front army, the middle army, the rear army, the left army, the right army, the ranger army, the archery cavalry army, the heavy cavalry army, the Modao army, etc., the main force of the five armies on the left and the middle and right is the infantry, equipped with a small number of cavalry, the Modao army is a special type of troops, all of them are infantry, and the rangers, archers, heavy cavalry, etc. are all cavalry, of course, with our current situation in the army, the size of the ranger army should be the largest, The other armies are relatively smaller! ”

Next, Zhao Ziliang gave a detailed account of the specific situation of the establishment, the number of combatants under each establishment, the names of the commanders, and others.

Under the new establishment, the commander of the army is called the military envoy, and the deputy is the deputy military envoy, who generally has jurisdiction over 12,000 people, but some armies have special circumstances and do not have so many people; There are three departments under the command of the army, each of which has 3,000 to 4,000 people, and the commander of the department is called the general, and the deputy is called the deputy general; Each department has three battalions, each battalion has more than 1,000 soldiers, the battalion commander is called Du Wei, and the deputy is called Guo Yi; Each battalion has three tuns, each of which has 300 to 400 soldiers, and the commander of the tun is called the lieutenant, and the deputy is called the lieutenant; Each of the three capitals under the jurisdiction of each tun has 100 to 120 soldiers, and the commander of the capital is called the head of the capital, and the deputy is called the head of the deputy capital; Each has three teams, with between 30 and 40 soldiers, and the captain of the team is called the team officer, and the deputy is called the team deputy; Each team has three gangs, each of which has 11 to 13 soldiers, and the commander of the gang is called the gang leader, and the deputy is called the deputy gang leader.
