Since his left arm was cut off by Zong Bi outside Caozhou City, the heroic Master Zhihun has been quite depressed for a while. There was even a time when he had the idea of returning to Wutai Mountain as a monk.

By the way, Wutai Mountain at the turn of the two Song Dynasty is a famous anti-gold base, many famous leaders of the rebel army are Wutai Mountain monks, and later generations have left their names Yang Shannuo, Yang Hao, Zhenbao Great Monk, Zhihe Zen Master, Zhihun Master and others, which is also an outlier in Buddhism.

But after all, it was a hot-blooded Buddhist man, and Master Zhihun quickly regained his strength. Although he can no longer go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, it is still more than enough to be the chief of staff of the Protector Army. Xue Bi is good at tricks, and Master Zhihun has a strong sense of the overall situation. This military meeting was also convened by Zhihun at the instigation of Yue Fei.

Master Zhihun has an obsession in his heart, that is, to defeat the golden dog, kill Zongwang, avenge the people of Zhongshan Mansion, and hate Zhan Duxue for the prefect.

Seeing Yue Fei mention his name, Master Zhihun immediately strode onto the stage, although the monk's sleeves on the left were fluttering, although his face was pale, he still had the momentum of a tiger. Master Zhihun saluted with one hand at the generals in the audience. "Brothers, since Yue Shuai asked me to say a few words, then I will say a few words concisely. Now the weather is hot, and the fighting has stopped, but the training of various armies cannot be stopped. Hopefully, by the time winter comes, we'll have 100,000 soldiers. 100,000 elite soldiers who starved to death and did not plunder, freeze to death and do not demolish their houses! ”

"Well said!" Yue Fei praised loudly, "Freezing to death will not demolish people's houses, starving to death will not capture the people." Only such an army can live up to the name of protecting the people. I hope you will remember the words of Master Zhihun in mind! ”

Niu Gao shouted loudly in the audience, "Yue Shuai, Master Zhihun everyone, everyone knows military discipline, so there is no need to emphasize it." Let's move on to the important ones! ”

Master Zhihun pointed at Niu Gao and said, "It's still Master Niu who has spoken everyone's mind!" Yue Shuai, the brothers are all waiting for the promotion of the official rank! ”

Hundreds of generals thundered with joy. Although many people have guessed it, it is not a foregone conclusion until Yue Fei's confirmation. After all, the status of the Protector Army is embarrassing, although it is essentially a warlord and has broken with the imperial court, but it is still nominally a local regimental training envoy appointed by the imperial court, and although the era name used is not the Jianyan year name of the new emperor, it is the Jingkang year name of Qinzong, who was captured to the northern country. Now that the Protector Army controls most of the Central Plains, coupled with the will of the people, Yue Shuai is also qualified to be the emperor. Don't you see that Zhong Xiang only occupies most of the South Jinghu Road, and is already about to build a great Chu Buddha country?

The only thing that made the generals uncertain was that Yue Shuai didn't seem to have the mind to stand on his own. Because neither Yue Fei nor Li Bashao gave a hint to the generals. On the contrary, he always pained the danger of the imperial system. If Yue Shuai leaks the tone of being the emperor, a hundred yellow robes will also be ready!

Don't look at the many Confucian scholars who scold Yue Shuai as a traitor, once Yue Shuai declares his self-reliance, there will definitely be many Confucian students who are good at speculation crying and shouting to take refuge.

Among the generals in the audience, the one who looked forward to Yue Fei's self-reliance the most was the military generals from a family led by Han Chang, Luo Yanqing, and Zhang Lei. The reason why they worked so hard with the golden dog was not only to protect their families and defend the country, but also to earn a founding father who would be honored and added.

On the way to Yingtianfu, Luo Yanqing and Zhang Lei believed that if the Protector Army wanted to develop further, it must be self-reliant. Otherwise, many meritorious generals will not be promoted at all, and they will hang the title of capital and do the work of regiment commanders. One day or two is fine, but if it takes a long time, it will disappoint many generals.

Although Yue Fei didn't know the generals' calculations, he also understood that the Protector Army was going to be expanded. Many generals only had a passion when they joined the army, and they just wanted to expel the Tartars and return our rivers and mountains, but with the expansion of the Protector Army, many people had the idea of fame and fortune.

It's normal to have fame and fortune, after all, the world is bustling, and it's all for profit. Even Confucius, who shouted that his fame was like a floating cloud, traveled around the world in a carriage and knelt down to lick the king?

Yue Fei understood the generals' psychological appeals, so he decided to satisfy them. However, it is not the title of king and emperor that some people desire, but the reorganization of the people's protector army and the re-listing of the military system.

"Brethren, the main purpose of this military meeting is to discuss the issue of military system. At present, there are more than 100,000 people in the regular army of our people's protection army, and nearly 200,000 auxiliary soldiers, and they must be reorganized. Brothers' positions need to be transferred, and it is only natural that they should be transferred. Yue Fei didn't want to sell Guan Zi anymore, and immediately began to announce the new military system of the Protector Army.

The name of the Protector Army remains unchanged, but it is changed from the Protector Corps to the Protector Group Army. There are a total of 12 military ranks, which are concise and to the point, and change the 54-level military ranks of the stacked bed frame house of the Emperor and Song Dynasty. Ten people are a class, fifty people are a team rate, ten teams are a group, and ten people are a group. Three regiments are one division. The infantry division has 15,000 regular soldiers and 15,000 auxiliary soldiers. The cavalry division was a division of 8,000 cavalry.

Yue Fei appointed himself as the commander of the People's Protector Army. Under the commander, three new corps commanders were established. Each corps commander has five divisions under his command. Three field divisions, two regular divisions.

The three legions were the Yanyun Legion, the Jianghuai Legion, and the Eastern Naval Regiment. Yanyun Legion, the commander of the corps Niu Gao, under the jurisdiction of Fu Xuan's Fifth Cavalry Division, Liang Xing Zhao Yun's Sixth Cavalry Division, Xiaoshan Luo Yanqing's Eighth Division of the Forced Labor Army, Mr. Chuang's Fifth Infantry Division, Wang Gui's Second Infantry Division. plus Bi Jin's independent division of the calf village.

Jianghuai Legion, the commander of the corps Zhang Xian, under the jurisdiction of Zhao Hong's first cavalry division, Dong Xian's second cavalry division, Zhang Lei's third cavalry division, Yue Fan's first infantry division, Hua Chaoxi's third infantry division. In addition, it can also control Yue Heng's scouts.

The Eastern Naval Regiment, the commander of the corps Zhang Heng, was under the jurisdiction of Zhang Qing's First Division of the Navy, Li Bao's Second Division of the Navy, Shi Kangdang's Third Division of the Navy, Xin Zan's Fourth Infantry Division, and Liu Jinshi's Fifth Infantry Division. plus Meng Bangjie's Jingdong Road Independent Division. Zhang Qing is Zhang Heng's deputy, and Shi Dangdang is a member of the Shi family in Xuzhou, and he is also a water warrior who has been going to sea for many years.

There is also a personal guard division under the direct command of Yue Fei, with Ji Qian as the division commander and Jiao Wentong as the deputy division commander. The Beiwei army was also expanded to 3,000 cavalry, with Wang Gang as the commander of the Beiwei army and Shi Quan as the deputy commander.

More than 100,000 militiamen were under the command of the militia corps, with division commander Xu Qing and deputy division commander Wang Tianbao.

Of the three legions, the strongest is obviously the Yanyun Legion, because Bi Jin's independent division of Baoqizhai has more than 30,000 people, which is completely the configuration of two divisions. Liang Xing Zhao Yun's cavalry division also had 15,000 cavalry, which was also the configuration of two cavalry divisions. Although their soldiers may not be as elite as the Jianghuai Legion, don't forget that there are hundreds of thousands of Taihang rebels under the command of Niu Gao. This can also be seen that the future focus of the Protector Army is still on Hebei West Road. It can be seen from the name of the Yanyun Legion that Yue Fei's ambition is not only to take back Hebei West Road, but also to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun that have been cut out for more than 200 years.

Yue Fei's appointment took into account the actual ability of the generals and the actual achievements of the anti-Jin, which cannot be said to be completely fair, but at least it did not bury any meritorious officials.

The generals also knew in their hearts how much merit they had made and what position they should be promoted. The only thing that may be surprising is that Wang Gui's Second Infantry Division was not only assigned to the Niu Gao system, but his position has not changed at all, and he is still the division commander. And the position of the corps commander fell to Niu Gao.

But think about it, in the anti-gold campaign that began last winter, Wang Gui did not fight brilliantly at all. It can even be said that his exploits are not even comparable to Fu Xuan Jiao Wentong, who joined halfway. Although Niu Gao followed Yue Fei for less than a year, he led the Third Infantry Division to resist Zonghan's hundreds of thousands of troops on the north bank of the Yellow River.

More importantly, the appointment of Tong Guò shows that Yue Fei employs people, does not inhibit relatives, and the talented go up, and the incompetent go down. Therefore, all the generals are convinced. may be the only one who is not convinced, is the gloomy Wang Gui.

Wang Gui knew that the news of his contact with the imperial court envoy must have reached Yue Fei's ears. But Wang Gui felt very wronged. Because he only saw the eunuch once, he never contacted him again. And he led the second division to resist the Jin soldiers and pacify the place, which can be regarded as his best. He never expected that now he was not only under Zhang Xian, but also couldn't compare to Niu Gao and Zhang Heng.

This made Wang Gui feel very depressed. The other generals all laughed from the heart, but Wang Gui had a wry smile on his face.

Yue Fei saw Wang Gui's face on the stage, and he felt a little uncomfortable. After all, Wang Gui grew up with himself, studied art together, and his family was poor, and he saved Wang Gui a lot. But Yue Fei didn't dare to give Wang Gui any more important positions. It was not only Wang Gui's meeting with Zhao Gou's envoy that violated Yue Fei's taboo, but more importantly, Yue Fei thought that Wang Gui was too steady in using troops, which could also be said to be negative. If Wang Gui had Niu Gao's bravery, Lao Meng An would not have died outside Caozhou City.

The enemy of the Protector Army is the Jurchen Iron Cavalry. If you want to deal with these Jurchen iron horsemen who come and go like the wind, you must have a fearless heart. Wang Gui is not stricter than Niu Gao in terms of skills, and the one who is sent is a strong fighting heart.

There are frustrated people like Wang Gui, and of course there are proud people like Liu Jinshi. Liu Jinshi was originally the leader of the Jingdong Road Righteous Army who was as famous as Chen Heihu Nie Tugou, and since he voted for Zhang Heng, he has made suggestions, and now he has helped Zhang Heng win half of Jingdong Road. Although Liu Jinshi made a lot of meritorious contributions, he came to Yingtianfu with Zhang Heng, but he did not dare to dream of becoming a teacher. Now that he has been promoted to division commander by Yue Fei, Liu Jinshi can be described as overjoyed. Chen Heihu and Nie Tugou stood beside Liu Jinshi, and the two were still the commanders of the infantry regiment.

Seeing Liu Jinshi's thin face smiling like a flower, Chen Heihu and Nie Tugou each stretched out their big hands and slapped Liu Jinshi's shoulder. "Liu Jinshi, you can do it. In a blink of an eye, he became a division commander. You can do it. ”

slapped Liu Jinshi's bones almost fell apart with a few palms in a row, and he hurriedly raised his hand to beg for mercy, "Two virtuous brothers, after the meeting, I invite you to Bafang Tower to drink." Don't shoot it. I'm going to fall if I shoot again. ”

Nie Tugou scolded with a smile, "You Jinshi is the most treacherous. Tonight, we will all go to the Bafang Building to drink, where do we need your invitation! ”

Liu Jinshi smiled, "Tomorrow night, please." ”

In fact, Chen Heihu and Nie Tugou were not jealous, they were purely joking. They are all self-aware people. Although their bravery far surpassed that of Liu Jinshi, they were too reckless and could only be the commander of an infantry regiment. If you want to be a division commander, you are really not qualified. is like the fierce general Li Heng, who has made so many contributions, and is still the commander of the infantry regiment under Zhang Xian.

Even more excited than Liu Jinshi was Xiaoshan Zhang Lei, the two of them defected to the Protector Army, originally just wanting to live. Now they are all in high positions, and each has 8,000 cavalry. If you don't take refuge in Yue Shuai, under the banner of the Golden Dog, maybe you will still be a thousand-commander who can't be inferior or inferior, and you will have to nod your head in front of any born girl.

Although Luo Yanqing was Xiao Shan's deputy, he did not have any displeasure. First, he cooperates well with Xiaoshan and is very right. The second is that Luo Yanqing is thoughtful, he knows that because most of the hard labor army is a Khitan descendant, Yue Shuai will never let Xiao Shan control the whole division, and Xiao Shan, who is knowledgeable, will not control the whole division, and he, the deputy division commander, is the real commander of the hard labor army. The reason why Xiao Shan was appointed as the division commander was because of a clever move to recruit the Khitans when attacking Yanyun.
