Chapter 48: Officers

Thank you for the monthly pass and support with the rain pear blossom and denn brothers, thank you for the boat. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There is also the title of the Ming Dynasty, such as Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, and Mao Wenlong should call him 'this court' or 'Lord Futai' in official affairs.

In this book, in order to make it easier to read, in order to make it understandable to more young friends, Xiaochuan basically uses vernacular Chinese.

Finally, kneel and beg to collect the red ticket.

~~~~~~~

Although Mao Wenlong is not rich, he still gave him the greatest support for Li Yuanqing's excellent 'dandelion seed'.

Grain and grass are enough for more than 1,200 people in Li Yuanqing's department to eat for more than two months, and the armor and weapons are insufficient, also because they have to supply the northern line first, after all, the northern line is about to usher in war, and the rest are like livestock, ships, etc., basically Mao Wenlong can take out, and they are all given to Li Yuanqing.

By the time Li Yuanqing's troops came to the riverside in the east of the city, more than 100 mules and horses and more than 20 small boats had been waiting here for a long time.

The person in charge of the handover was Chen Jisheng, who patted Li Yuanqing on the shoulder, "Yuanqing, have a good trip." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded emphatically, although Chen Jisheng was selfish, his trip not only carried his hope, but also Mao Wenlong's hope.

"Big brother, don't worry. It's not life and death, so you don't have to be so sad. Li Yuanqing smiled and hugged Chen Jisheng.

Chen Jisheng sighed and waved his hand vigorously at Li Yuanqing.

The team quickly boarded the boat and crossed the Yalu River in turn.

Looking at Zhenjiang City on the other side getting farther and farther away, Li Yuanqing let out a long breath of turbidity.

Whether it is Mao Wenlong or Chen Jisheng, they can be regarded as the pride of this era, but due to the limitations of the times, their vision, or their way of thinking, are still too persistent.

Houjin is already powerful, even if Chao ~ Xian fully supports Mao Wenlong, but after all, the country is small and weak, and it may not have much effect.

Under such circumstances, even if Li Yuanqing was able to establish new 'base areas' in Yiju and Longchuan, once the Zhenjiang barrier was lost, what would be the use of this base area?

Isn't it the same to be slaughtered?

Just like in history, after the city of Zhenjiang was broken, Mao Wenlong fled to Longchuan, and not long after, he was sacked by Houjin, suffered heavy losses, and fled to the sea in embarrassment.

And history has proven that the latter is the right choice.

At this time, since Li Yuanqing is in the chess pieces of this vanguard, Li Yuanqing also has to add some of his own ideas to many things.

However, at this time, Li Yuanqing did not dare to openly disobey Mao Wenlong's order and find another way.

At this time, there are more troublesome and headache things waiting for Li Yuanqing.

The team has increased from more than 120 people to more than 1,200 people at once, a tenfold increase.

Originally, when there were few people, Li Yuanqing could do many things himself, but the number of people suddenly increased, and the problem of insufficient officers at all levels suddenly became prominent.

Even if there are Shang Lao Liu, Shunzi, and Wang Hai to help, this is far from enough.

Fortunately, the soldiers recruited by Li Yuanqing in the first two batches, these twenty or thirty people, now barely look like soldiers, and they can maintain order for the time being, but it is only temporary.

The issue of officers is now the most important issue in front of Li Yuanqing, and it is like the nerve network of this army, which is already related to the life and death of the entire contingent.

The only thing that Li Yuanqing is fortunate about is that in this area on the east bank of the Yalu River, no one can threaten the safety of the team for the time being, and Li Yuanqing still has a lot of time.

After all, although the Chao~ Xianren are at both ends of the rat, at this time, they will never dare to make a black hand against Li Yuanqing. The prestige of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years is not covered.

In the evening, the team set up camp in a flat meadow downstream of the river.

It is only ten miles away from Zhenjiang City.

Only walked ten miles a day, and Li Yuanqing didn't have much to do.

Letting Shang Lao Liu go outside to preside over the overall situation, Li Yuanqing ordered Shunzi to convene all the veterans' deliberations.

In Li Yuanqing's big tent, Shunzi, Wang Hai, the five and a half children who were picked out by Li Yuanqing in Guangning, and the twenty veterans who joined Sanchahe, except for a few who died, were all there.

Everyone stood in the tent, looking at Li Yuanqing, who was sitting in the center and wearing a brand-new thousand-household official robe, and they all vaguely understood Li Yuanqing's intentions, and couldn't help but look forward to it.

According to the current ratio of soldiers and soldiers, this also means that everyone present, at worst, should also be able to mix with the position of deputy hundred households.

Li Yuanqing glanced at everyone lightly, and everyone lowered their heads.

They are all veterans who have followed Li Yuanqing for some time, so they naturally understand Li Yuanqing's might.

"You are all my brothers Li Yuanqing, and you are good men in Liaodi. Today, I won't say anything, I know you can guess it. That's right. Today, I'm going to give you a promotion. ”

Hearing that Li Yuanqing personally confirmed this topic, everyone was overjoyed, "Adult, the little one is willing to die for you." ”

"My lord, being able to follow you is a blessing that I have cultivated for eight lifetimes."

Li Yuanqing waved his hand, "Anyone can say beautiful words." But you should know me. I don't like to spend effort, what I want to see is the effect, the effect. Now, let's first identify eight hundred households. Come, Wang Hai, you first say, if you become a hundred households, what will you do? ”

Although Wang Hai had expected in his heart that Li Yuanqing would vigorously promote him, he didn't expect that this would come faster than a dream.

He hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "My lord, my humble background is small, thanks to the kindness of my lord, my humble position is what I am today." If I am a hundred households, I will be loyal to my lords, train my soldiers diligently, and share my worries for my lords. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, but slowly shook his head.

Wang Hai's face couldn't help but change, and he didn't understand what Li Yuanqing meant.

"It's too empty. I want to be practical. Li Yuanqing stared at Wang Hai coldly.

The cold sweat on Wang Hai's forehead oozed out, "My lord, be specific, be specific to reality, lowly duty, lowly position is not good now." The only specialty of the humble profession is fishing. If the lowly position is a hundred households, as long as there is a boat on the seaside, the lowly position guarantees that it can provide enough fresh fish for the adults. As for the rest, all the lowly duties are subject to the orders of the lords. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded indifferently, but he didn't speak, and after a while, until Wang Hai's legs and stomach began to tremble, Li Yuanqing said: "Order~~~, Wang Hai is four teams of 100 households, and he will report to the general tomorrow." ”

"Lord Xie, Lord Xie. I swore to die for my lords. It was like a judgment of fate, I thought it was going to die, but suddenly there was a sound of heaven, Wang Hai's heart and liver were about to jump out, and he hurriedly kowtowed to Li Yuanqing desperately.

Li Yuanqing smiled faintly.

According to the practice of the Ming army, under the general of Qian, it is generally divided into team A, team B, team C, etc., and so on. A team is a general, with a team officer and a hundred household level. Just like Li Yuanqing's immediate boss Li Kaixuan before this, he was the officer of the 100 households.

But this was too awkward and too troublesome, so Li Yuanqing directly replaced it with numbers.

"You get up first. Next, the fifth team leader, who wants to do it? Come, talk to me. Li Yuanqing motioned for Wang Hai to stand on Shunzi's side and glanced at the people in the account.

With Wang Hai first, everyone didn't dare to face Li Yuanqing's gaze, and everyone's brains were flying, thinking about what they were good at and how to impress Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing was not in a hurry, so he looked at everyone in the audience lightly.

After a while, a young man came out of the ranks, knelt down on one knee and said: "My lord, I am willing to be the leader of the fifth team." ”

"Oh?"

Li Yuanqing glanced at him with interest, "Let's talk about it." What can you do for me? What to do for our army? ”

This turned out to be the first batch of teenagers picked by Li Yuanqing in Guangning City, his name is Duan Xiliang, and he is only 17 years old this year.

On weekdays, Duan Xiliang's practice is hard, but his qualifications are mediocre and almost featureless, and Li Yuanqing's impression of him is also very thin, I can't imagine that at this time, he who is the most unlikely to stand up actually stood up.

Duan Xiliang was a little nervous, he was still a child after all, his little face was flushed, and he had been inked for a long time, and then he trembled and said: "My lord, although he has no special skills, he is the first to follow the adult." On the school field of the elementary school in Guangning City that day, the adults were as wise as torches, and they were the first to pick out the lowly position. The humble family has been poor since childhood, and he is not afraid of adult jokes. Although he is not talented, he also knows the truth of retribution. Adults at this time is the time to employ people, although the humble position has no specialty, but there is a passion, as long as the adult can use it, the humble position will swear to repay the kindness of the adult. Just as adults single out the lowly position at first sight. ”

After he said this, everyone in the audience couldn't help but talk in a low voice.

This half-sized child, this is to play the emotional card.

Li Yuanqing was also a little surprised, although this Xiliang stumbled in his speech, his thinking was organized and connected everywhere, and he really looked down on him before.

And through his eyes, Li Yuanqing can also feel that he can't hide his desire for the future at all, this kid is ambitious.

Li Yuanqing suddenly laughed, at this time, at his age, his ability is secondary, the key is his temperament, which makes Li Yuanqing seem to see himself back then.

After a pause, Li Yuanqing said, "Duan Xiliang, get up." Supposedly, your words have touched me. However, the leader of these five teams still can't fall on your head. ”

Duan Xiliang was stunned for a moment, tears instantly poured out uncontrollably, he didn't expect that he was almost exhausted with all his spirit and spirit, and he was faintly blocked back by Li Yuanqing like this, "My lord, I ......"

He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.

Li Yuanqing looked at him lightly for a while, and suddenly said coldly: "Male husband, can't you stand this little setback?" And why do you show me your faithfulness? What are your abilities? Yes. ”

Facing Li Yuanqing's almost roaring questioning, Duan Xiliang was stunned for a moment, he didn't dare to cry anymore, and hurriedly kowtowed desperately: "My lord, it's a mistake to be humble." The lowly position has already known its own shortcomings, and in the future, it will definitely practice desperately, and use the merits of the lowly position on the battlefield to obtain the position that the lowly position wants. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Very good." I remember your words. I'm waiting for you. Someone came, raised Duan Xiliang to the general flag of the five teams, and reported to the general tomorrow. ”

"Huh?"

Duan Xiliang originally thought that he had no hope, but he didn't expect that Li Yuanqing still gave him a general flag officer, although it was not as good as a hundred households, but at this time, in the state of Li Yuanqing's department, it was definitely a real officer with real power.

"Thank you for your grace, thank you for your grace. The lowly duty will be ruined to repay the kindness of the adults. ”

Seeing Duan Xiliang kowtowing like pounding garlic, Li Yuanqing slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, "You get up, go over there." ”

"Yes." Duan Xiliang got up and came to Wang Hai and Shunzi's side.

Wang Hai gave Duan Xiliang a thumbs up gently, "Brother Duan, there are yours." ”

Duan Xiliang smiled shyly, but did not reply, concentrating calmly, and looked in the direction of Li Yuanqing.

"Come, let's continue, the five teams will ......"

…………

From nightfall to dawn, Li Yuanqing's long officer selection meeting came to an end.

Everyone in the tent had not slept all night, but instead of being tired, they were all in good spirits.

Among them, those who have the ability have basically obtained satisfactory official positions, and even those with poor ability have basically given them a small flag at the worst, and no one has been left behind.

Lord Zhongtang once had a wise saying, "Don't use people as relatives? Is it necessary to use people to neglect? ”

Although Li Yuanqing is now the president of Qian, if he does not have a group of henchmen and brothers under his hands, how can he make this army, a thousand people, become his own swords and guns, and become his own fists?

However, although the overall situation was decided, Li Yuanqing gave these officers another fierce medicine, "You are all today's upstarts, I want to congratulate you first." But ~~, I'm talking ugly ahead. I want to see your results. The capable go up, and the mediocre go down. If you are incompetent, you will be demoted to the general flag, and if you are incompetent, you will be demoted to a small flag, and if you are incompetent, you will be demoted to a soldier, and the soldier will be incompetent, and you will be dismissed from the ranks. Got it? ”

"Yes. Follow the teachings of adults. ”

The officers in the tent fell to their knees.

Li Yuanqing nodded, "There is one last point." Since then, under my command Li Yuanqing, I don't want to hear the word jiading anymore......"
