In the hall of the town guard's mansion, there were many officers, hundreds of people stood upright, standing in a neat row according to their respective ranks, and in the hall, there was silence, and the needle could be heard.

Today, it is a critical moment for Lian Zining to announce the appointment of new officers, not only all the hundred households and now the Zhenfu in Shandong are present, but also hundreds of general flags and small flags have been recruited yesterday, put down their men, and come to listen to the order.

Everyone's snort was faintly heavy, although all of them did not squint, forced themselves to be calm, and pretended to be calm, but the excitement in their eyes and the incessant unconscious movements of the limbs revealed their nervous mood.

Who can not be nervous?

The news has already come out, this time the Wu Yi Army will be expanded to eight thousand people! Eight thousand! It's quadruple bigger, so how many more positions can there be? This means that 100 households can be raised to 1,000 households, the general flag can be raised to 100 households, and the small flag can be raised to the general flag! The tranquilizer of the thousand households can also be promoted to the level of the guard! Don't look at both of them only soothing, the level is far behind!

In such a situation, who can be indifferent that it is pure!

Everyone looked at the position on the top, and they were a little puzzled in their hearts, why didn't the adults come?

Thinking like this, Lian Zining strode in, looking refreshed.

Yesterday, the spring color on the embroidery bed was boundless, and Lian Zining wantonly demanded it, wantonly conquered, and vented the fire accumulated by these sons. To his surprise, Kang Su, who was obviously dressed as a woman when they first met, was a virgin, and after asking, he learned that Kang Su was engaged, but his fiancé died before he could pass the door. The villagers are superstitious and think that they are ominous, and they have been widowed since then.

Kang Su's new melon was first broken, and she was naturally unbearable, but she was already very much in love with Lian Zining in her heart, and she supported her body to serve, and tried her best to meet Chenghuan. Lian Zining is also in moderation, Rao is like this, Su Su can't stand it, and now he still can't get out of bed, and he is a beautiful woman sleeping in spring.

"I've seen an adult!" Hundreds of people knelt on the ground and shouted, pulled Lian Zining's soul back, and quickly straightened his mind, saying, "Get up!" No need to be polite! ”

Everyone got up, Lian Zining smiled, and in the expectant eyes of everyone, he took out a long roll of white silk from his arms and began to read out the appointment.

"After the expansion of the Wu Yi Army, the total number of people was more than 8,000, divided into 70 households. Wu Yijun is the establishment of the guard level, and the president of Wu Yijun, Lian Mou, plus the rank of commander. There is no commander, no commander, no commander. Set up four members of the Wupin Town, Shi Dazhu, and the commander in charge of guarding one hundred and twenty dragon lancers. Liu Liangchen, in charge of penal law and military court. Xie Deqing is in charge of the storage and transportation of weapons and armor. Wang Dachun is in charge of logistics and armament manufacturing. ”

The appointment of these four people is not surprising to everyone at all, they are doing this job, and these people are conscientious and have not made any mistakes, so it is a matter of course to be promoted.

However, in half a year, he has gone from a small soldier to a military attache of the fifth grade, and he can already be called a general. Although I already have some foundation in my heart, I am completely relieved now. Except for Liu Liangchen, who is still in the capital and has not returned, the other three are all out of the queue to kowtow and thank you.

Lian Zining smiled: "You don't have to thank me, these credits are earned by you with one hand and one foot!" Needless to say, Dazhu followed the officer's side, fought bravely, killed countless enemies, and the official really saw it. The two of you, as well as the good ministers, although they did not fight, but the credit is not small, if there are no armor weapons, rice, noodles, meat and vegetables, we can't win the battle! ”

The three of them retreated, and Lian Zining said again: "Eight thousand people, of which five hundred are cavalry, forming a thousand cavalry households, which has never been full, so there is a deputy thousand households, and Yang Husheng is responsible for it!" ”

"Wow!" Everyone was in an uproar, and countless envious eyes fell on Yang Husheng's face, and even Yang Husheng himself was stunned by the news, and for a while he stood there stunned, at a loss.

From a small banner to a deputy thousand households, even across the general flag, deputy hundred households, and hundreds of households, what a terrifying promotion speed, what a huge grace and honor, you know, how many soldiers, after a lifetime of fighting, boiled white, may not be able to achieve this position. This requires not only ability, but also chance.

However, no one has much opinion on this appointment, the first battle between Wu Yijun and the White Robe Army was started by Yang Husheng's small banner, and more than 30 people were beheaded with a force of eleven people, which is enough to show that he is brave and strategic. Later, Lian Zining took a fancy to him, and he was transferred to his side to listen to it, and he was also very effective. Not to mention, the two women who are very favored in the inner house now were saved by him from the hands of the white-robed army! With this level of affection, promotion is also a matter of course, why are you jealous and unconvinced?

Yang Husheng was poked in the waist by his colleagues behind him, this is the awakening, he hurriedly strode out, knelt down heavily, kowtowed heavily, and knocked his forehead on the ground of the bluestone slab, banging, and raised his head, his forehead was already blue. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he choked up for a while, and he couldn't say anything, and the tears rolled down, and he was already crying silently.

At this time, it is not an exaggeration to describe him, and he has forged him from a small soldier ruffian who only knows how to oppress the good and collect protection money while eating and waiting for death to a person who knows that glory is our surname, knows etiquette, righteousness and shame, knows how to serve the country loyally, and knows that he loves his brothers. The person who took him with his hand and built and sharpened was Lian Zining. And at this time, the person who promoted him to such a high position is equivalent to paving a golden avenue for his life, or Lian Zining!

At this time, in Yang Husheng's heart, there was only one thought of dying for a confidant.

"Alright, dignified man, don't be such a child!" Lian Zining said gently: "It is natural for you to do this position, your strength and mind are enough to match!" After sitting on this cavalry thousand households, the burden on his shoulders will be heavy in the future, and he must lead the troops well, so as not to disappoint the officer. ”

Yang Husheng took a few breaths, suppressed his turbid breathing, and said loudly with a thick nasal voice: "My subordinates are willing to die for adults, and I will not dare to disappoint my adults!" ”

Lian Zining nodded, Yang Husheng kowtowed a few more times, and retreated.

"From now on, the 100 households of our Wu Yi Army are divided into four types by weapons, 100 households of iron cannons, 100 households of fire guns, 100 households of spears, and 100 households of halberds. Each of the thousand houses is composed of these four types of hundred houses, and now the number of guns and iron cannons is not enough, so they are empty at first, but when they return, they will definitely put up shelves. ”

"The remnant of the sixty-five hundred households, divided into five thousand."

Everyone pricked up their ears, and for them, that's where the point is.

"The 1,000th household of foot soldiers, a model of the whole armed army, practiced new tactics, and began from here. Three fire guns and 100 households, one iron cannon 100 households, seven spear 100 households, two halberd 100 households, a total of thirteen hundred households, all of which were drawn by Wu Yijun's old soldiers! ”

Hearing this, all the hundreds of households breathed heavily, and the thousandth household was clearly a model for the whole army! The thirteen hundred households, all of which have received extremely difficult training, fought battles, seen blood, and experienced veterans, which means that the thousandth household has concentrated most of the essence of the former Wu Yi Army. To be able to become this thousand households, that is the most powerful one among the several thousand households in the entire Wu Yi Army!

Lian Zining glanced at everyone and said softly: "The thousandth household, Xiong Tingbi!" ”

What the? Xiong Tingbi? That white-robed rebel? The newcomer who just joined the Wu Yi Army?

Everyone was stupid, first stunned, and then a low buzz sounded, some people were disappointed, some people discussed, some people were not angry, and all that came back to everyone's minds were three words: why?

But Lian Zining's authority was too strong, and no one dared to question him, even if he was unruly. In the special group of Wu Yijun, Lian Zining is not only their chief, but also their benefactor, like a brother and a father!

Lian Zining glanced at everyone coldly, and the low chatter in the crowd also disappeared.

Lian Zining nodded with satisfaction, which means that his control over this army is still extremely powerful, if someone jumps out to refute or something at this time, then it is really necessary to consider whether to take someone to the knife.

If this situation occurred before, with Lian Zining's paternalistic style, he would have to be reprimanded. But now, the status is also high, and the subordinates are not the same soldiers as before, and they always have to save some face in front of them, so that they don't make a noise.

Xiong Tingbi had already gotten the news, his face sank like water, like an old monk settled, without receiving the slightest influence from the hostile eyes around him, he strode out of the queue and thanked: "Thank you for the promotion of the lord, the mark is a white-robed general, trusted by the lord, entrusted with this important task, only one sentence, liver and brain, swear allegiance!" ”

Lian Zining nodded, and said solemnly: "This official will hand over all the elites in the Wuyi Army to you, the responsibility is heavy, the new formation, the new tactics, the thousandth household is an exemplary model, this official is limited to you within ten days, and train an elite soldier for this official!" Can it be done? ”

Xiong Tingbi's voice was as cold as iron: "If your subordinates can't do it, you will definitely come to see you!" ”

"Good!" Lian Zining nodded, looked at the rest of the people, and said: "This official knows that Xiong Tingbi, an outsider, has robbed a thousand households of the position, and you are not convinced, this mood, this official understands!" But just now Xiong Tingbi has already made a military order, you think to yourself, whoever dares to make the same military order, this official will give him this position! ”

There was silence in the hall.

"Nope! All right! Lian Zining said coldly: "Assigned to the thirteen hundred households under Xiong Tingbi, they all cheered me up during training, no laziness, no slackness, no disobedience, everything must be the same as when I was in the Jingnan camp!" If anyone is out of the moth at this time, don't blame the official for being polite! ”

Everyone was awe-inspiring in their hearts, and said in unison: "Subordinates obey orders!" I will not dare to disobey the general's order! ”

Lian Zining nodded, and then continued to announce the appointment of the remaining three deputy thousand households of the 1,000th household of the infantry army.

Said: "Each thousand households have one member of the five products and one member of the thousand households, and three members from the five products and deputy thousand households." Among them, the 1000 households are responsible for the pikemen of the 700 households, and the remaining 3 deputy 1000 households, each responsible for a branch of the army. But there must be one, we must know how to make good use of people, and make achievements when the time comes. ”

When everyone heard this, this was the smile on their faces, because if it came down like this, nineteen hundred people plus Xiong Tingbi would be exactly twenty, and each of these twenty people would be at least a future from a five-grade deputy thousand households!

Usually there are only two members of a thousand households and a thousand households, and the reason why Lian Zining did this was not only to upgrade all the hundred households to a thousand households as a reward and appeasement, but also for the balance of power in the army. There is only one level difference between the main and deputy thousand households of each thousand households, and they are all brothers who came out of one hundred households at the beginning, and their friendship and prestige are similar, so that they can contain each other, and no one can be bigger, and in this way, it is naturally conducive to Lian Zining's control of the army.

Between the seemingly subtle changes, there is a deep mental calculation.

And the thousand households who appointed Xiong Tingbi as the 1,000th household of the infantry army before also had such thoughts, the 1,000th household is all elite soldiers, and the combat effectiveness is too strong, so it is not safe to hand it over to anyone. Only Xiong Tingbi, an outsider who has no foundation in the Wuyi Army and is excluded by everyone, is the most suitable. He has no colleagues or friends in the army, and he can only gain a firm foothold by relying on Lian Zining.

It is said that being an official is an official, and after becoming an official, you naturally know how to be an official. These mental calculations, if it were Lian Zining at the beginning, it would be impossible to think of it at all, but these officialdom experiences and intrigues are all his great wealth, and Lian Zining is constantly growing.

Lian Zining had nearly two hours to read all the appointments, although his mouth was dry, although he could let others read it on his behalf, but he still read it himself, and every name of the person who recited the Tao, when they came out to say thank you, they would encourage a few words. This is just a small detail, but it will make people's hearts warm, seeing many iron-blooded men who are wounded and bleeding on the battlefield and will not say a word at this time, you can already imagine their mood.

Is it to buy people's hearts, or do you really love your generals? Lian Zining himself couldn't tell the difference, he only knew that his instinct was to let himself do this.

The hundreds of people in the hall, everyone has a share, whether it is a hundred households, a general banner, or a small banner, they have basically been promoted, and the overall officer framework of the five infantry armies and thousands of households has also been set up, which is very perfect.

It's a happy ending.
