On the morning of the second day when Liang Zishan returned to Qimen, Li Congjing took Wei Xingming and Wei Ziren father and son to the county office. Since the last time Li Congjing dealt with the three clans of Qimen, after the Qi County Order took refuge in Li Congjing, only Li Congjing was the first to look forward, and this county government was not so much the county government of his Qi County Order, but rather the county government of Li Congjing.

"This envoy is here today to recommend two talents to Qi County. I don't know if there are any suitable official vacancies in the county government to accommodate the two gentlemen. Li Congjing drank tea and said calmly.

Qi County Ling thought about it for a while, and then said with a smile: "The county government currently has the position of county lieutenant, and there is a vacancy in the position of recorder. ”

Li Congjing said casually: "The county lieutenant catches thieves, but he is a martial ......."

When the Qi County Commander heard this, he patted his head and said: "There is already a candidate in the county's main book, but that person is old and his health doesn't seem to be very good, so he can't come to work." Shimokan is trying to recommend a new master bookkeeper to the shogunate......"

Hearing this, Li Congjing stood up and said, "Very good, then so be it." Qi County ordered to be busy first, and the envoy was entangled in official business, so he resigned first. ”

Qi County Ling hurriedly got up to send him off.

Wei Xingming and Wei Ziren glanced at each other, Rao was Wei Xingming's heart, and he was also secretly shocked by Li Congjing's strength in controlling Qimen.

After arranging Wei Xingming and Wei Ziren, Li Congjing returned to Zhenzhi and gathered all the Sizuo, in addition, the commanders of the Hundred Battles Army, Li Rong, the head of the scouts, and other high-level officers were also called. As soon as everyone arrived, while greeting each other, they were all secretly frightened when they saw such a large size of the meeting, and they couldn't help but guess in their hearts what important things Li Congjing was going to announce.

If these people are ordinary in the eyes of everyone, then when Chen Zhiyuan, Zhao Xiangyao and other former green forest heavyweights arrived, the atmosphere in the room was much stranger.

In the end, Li Congjing brought the last two people to the scene, one was Mo Li, and the other turned out to be Tao Xiaoxiao. When Wang Buqi saw Tao Xiaoxiao, if it weren't for the fact that she was following Li Congjing, he would have thought that she had gone to the wrong door.

After meeting everyone, Li Congjing sat down to press and said, "I called you today for one thing. As you all know, scouts must come first for all combatants, and the importance of gathering enemy intelligence does not need to be repeated here. This military discussion is not to expand the scout capital, but to establish a new military organization with military information collection as the core - the Military Intelligence Department! ”

"MIU?" When everyone heard this, they were all amazed, because no one had ever heard of these three words.

Li Congjing, who comes from the big information age, especially knows how important it is to grasp more and more timely information. At the same time, we also know how much loss there will be due to information asymmetry, and how much can be done around this point. Militarily, the difference in information and intelligence between us and the enemy is enough to determine the victory or defeat of a war.

Although everyone was surprised, they didn't discuss it, and Li Congjing continued: "You all know that the battle between the King of Jin and the pseudo-Liang has lasted for decades, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that now the battle between Liang and Jin has reached a critical period. As the sharp soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the Hundred Battles Army as the blades of the Great Jin Dynasty, in the upcoming war, you must also make immortal contributions to the Jin King's conquest of the Central Plains. Only by anticipating the enemy can we win a decisive victory, so the general decided to set up a military intelligence department. ”

"Commander, whatever you say, we just do it!" Meng San said, "Anyway, the big truth, I, Meng San is a rough person, and I don't understand, I only know how to go into battle to kill the enemy with military orders." ”

Everyone even claimed that it was, but Li Congjing looked at Meng San and said unhappily: "Meng San, the army is already teaching generals to read and write, are you not serious about learning?" ”

"This ......" Meng San was dumbfounded.

"If you don't learn as well as others, the military stick will be inevitable." Li Congjing said, "As a general, the safety of the whole army is in danger, and every move may determine the success or failure of the battle. If that's the case, I'll let you be a trapper, why do you need to lead a commanding soldier? ”

At first, everyone was still laughing at Meng San, and after Li Congjing said, everyone's faces became serious. Li Congjing also felt that it seemed that the cultivation of the quality of generals should be stepped up. If Li Congjing does not die for ten years, the current commanders and leaders of the Hundred Battles Army, and even the team leaders, may lead an army alone in the future, or hold important positions, if their quality is poor, how can they seek victory on the battlefield?

In addition, the quality of an army's grassroots commanders will directly determine the combat strength and even the overall strength of this army. Because the army is fundamentally composed of non-commissioned soldiers, and the commander-in-chief does not directly face the non-commissioned soldiers, but directly confronts the non-commissioned soldiers, it is the grass-roots commanders.

After a pause, Li Congjing returned to the topic and continued: "To establish a military intelligence department, you need people, and as a military intelligence officer who has higher and more requirements than scouts, you can only select the best in the army. This envoy's order: The first batch of 300 personnel of the Military Intelligence Department will be selected, 50 will be selected from the Green Forest heroes, 50 will be selected from the scouts, and 200 elite people will be selected from the army. Li Rong, the head of the scout, was transferred to the Military Intelligence Department, Wu Changjian, the former head of the Immortal Mountain, and was transferred to the Military Intelligence Department at the same time, serving as the three commanders. Join the army and leave the affairs of the military intelligence department. ”

Li Congjing stood up and said to everyone: "In addition, the Military Intelligence Department is not subordinate to the regular combat sequence of the Hundred Battles Army, and is directly controlled by this envoy!" ”

Hearing Li Congjing say this, everyone looked awe-inspiring, and they had the most intuitive understanding of the weight of the military intelligence department in their hearts.

"This matter is related to the success or failure of the future battlefield of the Hundred Battles Army, and I hope you will fully cooperate." Li Congjing finally concluded.

"Yes!" The generals immediately said.

After disbanding everyone, Li Congjing left only Mo Li and the three leaders of the Military Intelligence Department, and began to discuss the details of the formation of the Military Intelligence Department.

Wang Buqi left in a huff, and when he left, looking at Li Congjing's eyes, he was really resentful. Before Li Congjing went to Liangzishan, he also promised him that Tao Xiaoxiao should stop meddling in official affairs and concentrate on waiting for marriage at home. Now it's good, not only did the people not persuade them to come back, but they also abducted them.

"MI is a new agency that has never existed in the military, so there are many things that you need to explore on your own, but it is also because of this that there are not many constraints that allow you to play freely. But the core of the military intelligence department is intelligence and information, and the institutions that deal with this kind of thing are not absent in the military, but the envoy has magnified them. Li Congjing said to everyone.

"Don't leave, everything is difficult at the beginning, but once it starts, the tone will be set, so you have a heavy task. In addition, Li Dutou was born as a scout and was familiar with such things, so he should be the backbone; Taoda is a leader in the green forest, and many things in the military intelligence department are carried out in the enemy area, and the way on the rivers and lakes should be allowed to play its due role; Wu Dutou is both wise and brave, and the main force. ”

The reason why Mo Li was in charge of the Military Intelligence Department was because Mo Li was the person who knew Li Congjing's ideas best, and in the past ten years, he was very clear about how Li Congjing's idea was born and developed, so he always led the military intelligence department, and Li Congjing was the most assured.

And they took counsel until night, and then they dispersed.

The next day, the first batch of personnel of the Military Intelligence Service began to be selected in the army.

In fact, whether it is the establishment of the Military Intelligence Department or the teaching of the generals of the Hundred Battles Army to read and write, although these actions are not unique, they are also extremely rare, especially the Military Intelligence Department. In the final analysis, at present, Li Congjing is just a pawn under Li Cunqing, and what he does must be approved by the king of Jin, and it is beneficial to the Jin Kingdom.

How to lay the foundation for his own long-term development and be loyal to the King of Jin and only do the duties of his courtiers, finding a balance between the two is a major political issue facing Li Congjing at present. So at present, what Li Congjing can do is mainly in the military aspect, and there are limitations in this regard. But even so, what can be done is enough for Li Congjing to be busy.

After the affairs of the Military Intelligence Department were handed over to Mo Li, Li Congjing's only next task was to train the Hundred Battles Army.

After replenishing the Liang Zishan disciples and the 400 Anyi Army, the Hundred Battles Army has expanded to 3,600 people, and the Military Intelligence Department has pulled 300 people, and among the remaining 3,300 people, Li Congjing has to select a group of people again as personal soldiers, and the last six sergeants who command the left and right, not counting the people needed by the divisions in the army, are the regular combat units of the Hundred Battles Army.

In the training of the Hundred Battles Army, Li Congjing shared a three-plate axe.

The first is to establish a culture of competition for the first, and to urge everyone to train desperately by linking the titles of "Leader Army" and "Birdless Army" to a series of practical interests.

Second, through reading and literacy, working from the top to the bottom, and carrying out ideological transformation of knowledge and world outlook, we will fundamentally ensure that the army of the Hundred Battles will not become corrupt and degenerate, and will become a division of kings.

Thirdly, and most fundamentally, material rewards are given to units with outstanding training performance at each stage. After all, it is the natural desire of human beings to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and with interests as an inducement, it is impossible for a sergeant not to compete for the lead. In order to shape a division of tigers and wolves.

Li Congjing knows that the current army in the world, due to the special reasons of the times, is unruly, difficult to discipline, and extremely low loyalty. But this did not prevent Li Congjing from building the Hundred Battles Army into a division of kings. Moreover, only by building the Hundred Battles Army into a unique army of kings can he have the capital to save his life and even realize his great ambitions. This has been proven by history countless times.

As a traverser, Li Congjing naturally knows how important it is to have a real "revolutionary army" in his hands.

In addition to the main training methods, Li Congjing also used other auxiliary means to ensure the training of the Hundred Battles Army.

For example, the establishment of an internal communication mechanism for the Hundred Battles Army, advocating unity and fraternity, etc., to ensure the appropriateness of comrades, but also to ensure that the sergeants love Li Congjing himself.

In addition, for the sergeants who have families, they are treated preferentially, and for those who do not have families, conditions are created for them to start a family.

I have to say that through Li Congjing's propaganda, now the whole of the Hundred Battles Army, including the head soldiers, knows that the big war is imminent, and the Hundred Battles Army, as the army with high hopes of the King of Jin, will soon be pulled onto the battlefield and conquer the Quartet. When the time comes, whether it is success or failure, whether it is dead or alive, we must see the true chapter.

With such motivation and pressure, apart from deserters, which soldier dares not to work hard in training?

High-level advice, this is what the coach should do, as for how to guide the daily training of the soldiers, that is the matter of the head of the coach. Li Congjing set up a mechanism, selected the head of the coach, supervised, and did not interfere in specific matters, but only looked at the results.

In an army, the commander is like a king, and he does nothing, which is the way of the world; There is a way to do it, which is the way to use it for the world. "The upper part will use the world without doing anything, and the lower part will do something for the world, which is not easy to do."
