There are 3 Chinese mercenary cavalry brigades participating in the Canadian War this time, namely Sun Liechen, Baiyin Dazhi and Tao Ke Taohu; There are 3 infantry brigades of Chinese mercenaries, namely Feng Linge, Du Lisan Brigade and Wu Junsheng Brigade; The garrison division is the Maron Tan division.

The Japanese mercenaries who participated in the war were the 1st, 3rd, and 5th brigades.

Zhang Wei planned to allocate 3 armies to Bai Yuqing, and the remaining armies were mercenaries and garrisons, mainly to train mercenaries and garrisons.

The first to meet were the three brigade commanders of the cavalry brigade, accompanied by Feng Guohua and Bai Yuqing.

The three of Sun Liechen did not know that the emperor had received them, and they received a notice that the chief of the general staff of the Lu State was going to receive them.

When the three of them entered the conference room, the three of them were taken aback and saw a general, Feng Guohua, chief of the general staff of Lu State, they had all seen it; They were surprised that a young man wearing a military uniform without a military rank sign sat on the main seat, and the three of them often saw Zhang Wei's portrait and recognized it at a glance as the emperor of the empire; As for the lieutenant general, they don't know it yet.

The three of them hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty the Emperor!" Hello General! “

The three of them were shocked by the youth of His Majesty the Emperor, who could lead such a large empire at such a young age, and the whites who fought retreated one after another, occupying the territory of so many whites, and they used to think that the portrait was what the emperor looked like when he was young, but they didn't expect the portrait to be what the emperor is like now, and they thought that it was a great honor for them to receive the emperor in person.

Feng Guohua and Bai Yuqing both got up and returned a military salute.

Feng Guohua said: "Three of you, please take a seat, let me introduce you, this is His Majesty the Emperor of the Xia Empire, this time His Majesty the Emperor wants to meet you; This is Lieutenant General Bai Yuqing, the chief of staff of the Southern Theater of Operations, and will be your boss in the future. “

When the three of them saw the emperor for the first time, they were very nervous.

Zhang Wei did not care about their reactions, and said directly: "In this war against Canada, you did not achieve great achievements, but you were all positive, and arrived at the predetermined place on time, which played a certain role in restraining the Canadian officers and soldiers; I have called you this time in order to send you to the southern battlefield to occupy Mexico and the whole of Central America, where transportation is underdeveloped and cavalry is the main force;

Now I want to hear your opinion, it is to organize you into a cavalry corps, with the three of you as commanders, deputy commanders, and chiefs of staff, and then you will be equipped with two cavalry brigades, and the entire army will have 30,000 men, which is the first plan;

The second plan is to reorganize you into 3 cavalry divisions, each with a total of 10,000 troops, and the 3 of you will serve as the commander of the cavalry division, and each division will cooperate with one army to fight;

Which option do you choose? “

Sun Liechen is Chinese, if he doesn't speak, the other two will not be able to say it first, and then the other two are still recruited by Sun Liechen, and Sun Liechen is the main backbone, so he said: "Your Majesty, General!" If you are fighting in the Southern Theater of Operations, I suggest that it be enough to form cavalry divisions, each with 5 cavalry regiments, which is enough to sweep through the local natives; If it is to fight the Russian cavalry, I propose to form a cavalry corps, or not to be an opponent of the Russian Cossack cavalry. “

Zhang Wei originally wanted to promote Sun Liechen, but after listening to his explanation, he felt that Sun Liechen's views were very good, and he could start from the actual situation on the battlefield and organize the troops separately. “

Bai Yin Da Lai and Tao Ke Tao Hu hurriedly stood up and saluted, and reported: "We obey Your Majesty's arrangement!" “

Zhang Wei didn't embarrass the two of them, so he said: "You sit down and talk, okay, just follow Brigade Commander Sun's opinion, the troops of the three of you will be reorganized into 3 cavalry divisions, and the rank will be promoted to major general, and you will cooperate with the infantry to fight well in the future." “

The three of them hurriedly stood up and saluted and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!" “

Feng Guohua said to Sun Liechen 3: "You will be under the jurisdiction of Lieutenant General Bai Yuqing's Southern Theater in the future, go back and wait first, Lieutenant General Bai will make detailed arrangements for you." “

"Yes, General!" The three of them were very satisfied with this result, not only did they promote their official positions and ranks, they expanded the size of the troops, but they were also able to go to the south to participate in the war and expand their territory, which was exactly what the three people expected.

After the three of them retired, the four people who came in were Ma Longtan and Feng Linge.

The four of them were also shocked that His Majesty the Emperor personally received them, and they were even more shocked that His Majesty the Emperor was so young.

After Feng Guohua made a brief introduction, Zhang Wei began to speak: "I am very dissatisfied with your performance in this war against Canada, in terms of ferocity, you are not as good as the Japanese mercenaries, you don't kill as many people, you can't rob the Japanese outside the city, it's really embarrassing, I have already given you an order to rob legally, you are still restrained, where is the previous courage, it seems that you can't be too idle." “

Originally, they still had the desire to be promoted, but now when they heard the emperor say this, they were all very ashamed, and they were even more shocked that the emperor's speech was so direct and rude, but it was very much to their liking.

Zhang Wei ignored their thoughts and continued: "Fortunately, you can all arrive at the scheduled place on time, and there is no violation of military discipline, I am very pleased; I have decided that in the future, the Chinese troops will no longer have the establishment of mercenaries, all of them will be garrison troops, and the three brigades will be expanded into garrison divisions, with 16,000 people in each division, Du Lisan will be the commander of the 4th Division, Wu Jun will be promoted to the commander of the 5th Division, and Ti Ji Jinchun will be the commander of the 6th Division. “

Feng Linge and the others immediately stood up and saluted and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!" Wu Junsheng and Du Lisan were very happy, but Feng Linge wondered how he promoted Ji Jinchun to be the division commander and didn't arrange himself, but he didn't dare to ask, so he could only wait.

Zhang Wei said to Ma Longtan again: "Tengxi, this time the performance is not bad, at least the Detroit fortress was not stormed, so that the city is well preserved; I would like to appoint you as the commander of the First Army of the Garrison Army, with the rank of lieutenant general, under your garrison division and two garrison divisions of Wu Junsheng and Xie Wendong, and then you will be equipped with an artillery regiment, a cavalry regiment, a guard regiment and a baggage battalion of 1,000 people, how do you feel? “

This exceeded Ma Longtan's expectations, and he hurriedly stood up and replied happily: "Back to Your Majesty, I will never disgrace my mission!" “

Zhang Wei continued: "Okay, you will now serve as the commander of the 1st Division, and when there is a suitable replacement, you will recommend it to Lieutenant General Bai Yuqing, and then you will be the commander of the First Army full-time."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ma Longtan happily replied, Zhang Wei's words clearly handed over to him the appointment of the commander of the first division, this is the emperor's His Majesty's trust in him, he is now in his 50s, and if he can be promoted to another level, he can continue to serve in the army until he is 60 years old.

Zhang Wei asked Feng Linge: "Ge Chen, how old is Ling Lang?" “

"Back to Your Majesty! Inuko is 9 years old. “

"I heard that Ling Lang is smart, so I want to arrange for him to go to Beijing to study, the educational conditions there are much stronger than here, and talents can't be buried, don't worry, I don't want him to be a hostage." Zhang Wei explained.

For Feng Delin, this is a supreme honor, and he hurriedly stood up and replied: "It is only up to Your Majesty's arrangement!" It is an honor for him to be recognized by His Majesty. “

"Okay, when the affairs of the army are arranged, I will go home, send the child to me, and I will take him back to Beijing."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Wei said to Feng Linge again: "I have decided to set up the Second Army of the Garrison Army, and appointed you as the commander of the Second Army, under the jurisdiction of Fu Dianchen's 3rd Division, Du Lisan's 4th Division, and Ji Jinchun's 6th Division. “

This made Feng Linge very surprised, and he hurriedly stood up and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, I will never disgrace my mission!" “

Zhang Wei continued: "I will ask Chief of General Staff Feng to assign an excellent chief of staff to each of you, and your two armies will temporarily be under the command of Lieutenant General Bai Yuqing in the Southern Theater of Operations. “

Ma Longtan and Feng Linge hurriedly got up and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!" “

The reason why Zhang Wei arranged this way was because he was afraid that Wu Junsheng would not accept Feng Linge's management, and Ma Longtan was the oldest qualified and could suppress Wu Junsheng and Xie Wendong; And Feng Linge can also manage the Second Army very well, Du Lisan is responsible for Feng Linge's recruitment, and he must obey the command; Ji Jinchun has always been Feng Linge's subordinate, and he has no problem being loyal to Feng Linge; Fu Dianchen is Wu Junsheng who is in charge of recruiting An, and his qualifications are not as good as Feng Linge's, and he is easy to manage.

Today's biggest winner is Feng Linge, not only promoted to lieutenant general, but also his son has entered the emperor's eyes, and his future is definitely unlimited, which makes everyone envious, and at the same time they also wonder who His Majesty the Emperor is listening to Feng Yong's intelligence? After getting along for so long, why didn't you know that Feng Linge's son was smart?

Zhang Wei saw that everyone had almost digested it, so he continued: "This promotion of everyone's military rank and rank is not because you have military merits, but to facilitate the operation in the Southern Theater, which is equivalent to advancing your combat achievements and giving you a promotion in advance. Okay, let's go here today, and everyone will think about how to do a good job when they go back. “

The crowd hurriedly stood up and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!" Never fail in our mission! “

After everyone withdrew, Feng Guohua asked very curiously: "Your Majesty, is Feng Delin's son really as smart as you say?" And did you promote Feng Delin because of his son? What was the reason for the promotion of Ma Longtan? ”

Zhang Wei pretended to be mysterious and said: "Don't say! Feng Guohua is right, in Zhang Wei's heart, he was indeed promoted because of Feng Delin's son; As for Ma Longtan, it's just because he's a respectable old man.

Feng Guohua had a very helpless expression.

Zhang Wei arranged for Feng Guohua to say: "You send a telegram to Xiao Xuguang and ask him to send soldiers from 8 cavalry regiments instead of horses; There were also 8 Chinese infantry regiments; In the future, all the North Korean mercenaries will be changed to baggage soldiers, and 5,500 baggage soldiers will be sent, and it is best to choose those who can speak Chinese.
