Chapter 622: A New Official Takes Office

The full name of Tongzhi is called Tongzhi Jingzhao Fushi, that is, the deputy of the prefect, and he can only serve as an official from at least four grades or above. Moreover, this position can be political or military, depending on how the imperial court appoints it.

When Li Yanqing was appointed, he had made it clear that he was in charge of the Jingzhaofu garrison and the township soldiers of the border states on the Shaanxi Road in a civilian capacity, and he had the post of envoy, which meant that he had officially become a feudal official in charge of his own affairs.

The garrison of Jingzhao Mansion is just outside the north city, and the local people also jokingly call it Beidaying, which was commanded by the general manager of Yan Yan Road before Li Yanqing, but Liu Yanqing is the commander of the 100,000 army of Shaanxi Road, and the 12,000 troops of Jingzhao Mansion is only one of his subordinates.

In front of the camp where Li Yanqing came with more than 100 personal soldiers, although Cao Xing, Cao Meng and Gao Chong came to Jingzhao Mansion together, they did not come to the barracks with Li Yanqing today.

At this time, Yang Lin, the commander of the capital, had already led the generals out of the camp gate, "Hehe! We were eager to see through it, and finally we looked forward to the Li system. ”

Yang Lin is about thirty years old, with a medium build, a slender face, a pair of slender eyes, and a lack of the majesty of a general, but a little more treacherous of a staff.

"Everyone has worked hard, it's windy and sandy outside, let's go back to the barracks first!"

Li Yanqing had a kind smile on his face, but an imperceptible cold color flashed in his eyes, more than two dozen commanders should salute him, but they stood still one by one, including this Yang Lin, who didn't even have the most basic etiquette, it seems that he should have received a letter from Tong Guan.

Li Yanqing didn't say anything, he knew that there were some things that he couldn't rush and had to wait for an opportunity.

Li Yanqing walked into the barracks surrounded by everyone, but a general behind him couldn't help but slow down, he just happened to see the cold color in Li Yanqing's eyes.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the seat of the chief general has been empty, and there is already some dust on it, indicating that no one has sat on this chair for a long time.

Of course, Li Yanqing knew that Yang Lin did not dare to sit on this chair easily, this was a matter of principle, he dared to sit down, and no one could protect him, but it did not mean that he did not use other methods to exercise the power of the coach.

In fact, he is not even the acting commander, the imperial court does not allow military generals to be the commander-in-chief, if you want to find the acting commander, it can only be the prefect Yang Xuzhou, of course, Yang Xuzhou is Wang Huang's person, when the coach is vacant, he will not compete with Tong Guan's people for military power.

A soldier stepped forward to wipe the dust off the chair and table, and Li Yanqing sat down, put the big seal of Tongzhi on the table, and said to everyone: "I am in charge of the army, everyone should know about it!" ”

Yang Lin hurriedly bowed down and said, "The appointment letters of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War have arrived yesterday, and we are willing to obey the orders of the commanders!" ”

Everyone bowed down together, "I am willing to obey the orders of the generals!" ”

The command is a wartime establishment, this is a temporary appointment for him to lead the army to suppress the Qiang rebellion, Yang Lin called him the commander instead of calling him Tongzhi, obviously only recognizing his temporary appointment, once the war is over, I am afraid it will not be recognized.

Li Yanqing sneered in his heart, and said quietly: "The Qiang people's riot is very serious, the official family is very concerned, and they are also very worried, the official family specially instructed the commander to lead the army to exterminate the Qiang people as much as possible, then from today onwards, the army will enter a wartime state, and your commanders will also be transferred to partial generals, General Yang will also be reappointed as commanders, the military government needs to be re-established, military law and various rules must be strengthened, you are all people who have fought in the war, I won't say the specific details, please Commander Yang stay, and the rest of you will go back to the camp for training first!" ”

Everyone bowed and saluted, and they all left, Yang Lin stepped forward with a smile and said, "The most important thing now is to establish a military office!" ”

Li Yanqing nodded and said with a smile: "General Yang was also promoted by the commander, speaking of which, we are also from the same family, I will set it up in accordance with the military system of the commander, and General Yang will not have any resistance!" ”

Yang Lin's core interests lie in the twelve partial generals, his idea is that Li Yanqing is in charge of the military and politics, and he is in charge of the army, and everyone does not interfere with the river water, he hurriedly said: "Although the commander sets up a military government according to his own intentions, I have no opinion!" ”

After a pause, he said in a low voice: "After the accident of the previous Liu commander, many important civil officials he promoted resigned and left, and the commander can just appoint his own people. ”

Li Yanqing scolded secretly in his heart, but he still smiled and said: "I know that there are twelve battalions in the army, and there seems to be no scout battalion. ”

"Because it's not wartime, there's no need for scouts."

"But now it's needed, so be it! Each battalion drew fifty elites to me, and I set up a scout camp first. ”

"Obey the order!"

Yang Lin turned around to leave, but Li Yanqing stopped him again, "I have one more thing to discuss with Commander Yang." ”

"Rule, please!"

Li Yanqing smiled and said: "I brought three of my subordinates over, all of them are heroes of the Northern Expedition, and they have a seventh-rank official rank, let's see if I can find a way to settle them." ”

Yang Lin's heart jumped suddenly, Li Yanqing really began to ask himself for power, he immediately said with a sad face: "Now that each battalion has a commander, there is no vacancy for the partial general, otherwise he will be temporarily appointed as a general!" ”

Li Yanqing was furious in his heart, and even let his henchmen serve as generals, this Yang Lin really didn't let him take a step!

Li Yanqing said lightly: "It's not good for the general of Zhengqipin to be appointed as a general!" ”

"But ......"

Without waiting for him to finish, Li Yanqing waved his hand, "That's it!" The establishment of Jingzhao Mansion is 15,000 people, and the loss of 3,000 people in Zhengfangla has not yet been made up, so we will recruit another 3,000 people in Jingzhao Mansion, and Commander Yang should have no opinion! ”

As long as Yang Lin does not move his military power, he is also willing to give in, and he hurriedly said: "This is the best solution." ”

"Then let's make a decision, Yang Tong will take the lead and dispatch elite soldiers! I want to build the military government first. ”

"Humble resignation!" Yang Lin bowed and left in a hurry.

Li Yanqing sneered, it seems that this Yang Lin is really impatient.

.......

Soon, dozens of civil officials from the Yamen of Tongzhi hurried from the city to meet the chief official, and Li Yanqing immediately appointed Liu Fang as the chief secretary, Mo Jun as the recorder to join the army, Zhang Hu as the intelligence department to join the army, Yan Qing as the scout battalion commander Yu Hou, and Yang Guang as the deputy Yu Hou.

He also appointed Zhang Bao as a military judge, and Zhang Ying as the head of his own soldiers, taking over military affairs, warehouses, horse camps, and other ancillary facilities.

When Li Yanqing was discussing the recruitment of new troops with Cao Xing, Cao Meng, and Gao Zhong in the big tent, a pro-soldier bowed outside the tent and said: "Qi Qi command, something happened in the warehouse, Mo joined the army, please take control." ”

"I see!"

Li Yanqing got up and said, "You continue to discuss, I'll go to the warehouse to have a look." ”

The warehouse is not far from the handsome tent, less than a hundred steps apart, Li Yanqing soon came to the warehouse, the warehouse is also composed of hundreds of large tents, surrounded by a camp fence, which contains grain, grass, military materials, armor and weapons, and an underground ice warehouse, mainly storing meat, poultry and eggs.

As soon as Li Yanqing walked into the warehouse gate, he heard Mo Jun's sharp roar, "How can it be half the difference, I can't tell the reason, who will bear the responsibility?" ”

Li Yanqing walked up quickly, only to see Mo Jun standing in front of the granary arguing with a young general, this general was burly and tall, and he went out of the camp with Yang Lin to greet him, Li Yanqing was very impressed by him.

"Mo joined the army, what's going on?" Li Yanqing stepped forward and asked in a deep voice.

"The rule came at the right time!"

Mo Jun spoke like a machine gun, fast and urgent, "The difference between the grain storage in the account and the actual inventory is half, and this General Han actually said that he doesn't know anything!" ”

Li Yanqing sternly looked at the partial general next to him, and the partial general immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Han Shizhong, the partial general of the lowly logistics battalion, see the command!" ”

"What's your name?" Li Yanqing was taken aback.

"Humble Han Shizhong!"

Li Yanqing couldn't help but look at him again and again, it turned out that he was Han Shizhong, he looked very powerful, Li Yanqing had read the report on the battle of destroying Fang La in the "tabloid", he remembered that Han Shizhong had made great contributions, how could he be the worst logistics battalion general?

Li Yanqing didn't ask much, and said with a faint smile: "General Han is still the first partial general to salute me, it's rare!" Please get up! ”

Han Shizhong immediately knew that his guess was not wrong, at the gate of the barracks, Yang Lin had already angered Li Yanqing, he stood up and hurriedly said: "Many times everyone is insincere!" ”

Li Yanqing nodded, then diverted the topic and asked, "The accounts do not match the facts, does General Han know the reason?" ”

Han Shizhong was silent for a moment and said, "I know the reason, but I don't dare to say it!" ”

Li Yanqing took a deep look at him, and said to Mo Jun: "Let's take stock of other warehouses first!" The grain warehouse will slow down. ”

Mo Jun understood in his heart, so he smiled and said, "General Han, let's go and see the armor!" ”

The two left, Li Yanqing returned to the tent, and after a while, Yang Lin hurriedly walked in, "Is there anything wrong with the command looking for a lowly position?" ”

Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "Lao Yang, give me the logistics battalion!" Otherwise, I won't be able to call them. ”

Yang Lin immediately snorted, "What are you talking about!" You are the boss, who dares not to listen to your orders, I will go and clean up that Han Shizhong now. ”

Li Yanqing waved his hand, "You don't understand what I mean, what I mean is that the logistics battalion will be assigned to the military government and directly managed by the Military Division, which is also the consistent practice of the Hedong Army!" ”

"No problem, just follow the rules!"

Yang Lin specially bit the word rules very hard, which meant to remind Li Yanqing that if he didn't make an example, he couldn't fight other military ideas.

Li Yanqing smiled and nodded, "General Yang is right, everything has to be done according to the rules!" ”

"Alright! I'll go and tell Han Shizhong to come and report to the Military Division today. ”

Han Shizhong was a well-known thorn in the Jingzhao Army, if it weren't for Liu Yanqing's value of him, Yang Lin would have driven him away a long time ago, he glanced at the generals next to him again, and walked away quickly.

At this time, Cao Xing stepped forward and said slowly: "Commander, can you actually bear it?" ”

Li Yanqing smiled faintly, "It's easy for me to kill him, but I won't touch him today." ”
