Dotai Mansion, study.

Huang Shihai, Zhou Xiuying, Yang Banhou and other generals all gathered here. Qi Zhenhai's thick eyebrows kept rising and falling like waves, and his eyebrows danced, loudly telling the story of Earl, Adams and their entourage going to the barracks after leaving the mansion, and even the scene of Adams and others going out of the city with soldiers.

Li Zhen leaned back on the chair, hunched his back slightly, and laughed.

What Li Zhen needs is such an effect!

Lu Shaochuan laughed unscrupulously, danced with his hands, and said happily: "Dashuai, this time the foreigner not only lost money, but was also severely humiliated by you, and lost the face of his ancestors. If it were me, I would have killed myself. Dashuai, your move is simply more powerful than Zhuge Liang's demon, and it can be called unprecedented and unprecedented. ”

"Poof!"

Huang Shihai sneered and said: "Battalion Commander Lu, you treat Zhuge Liang as a demon, but you praise the handsome man more powerful than Zhuge Liang, do you scold the handsome, or praise the handsome!" ”

"Roll the calves!"

Lu Shaochuan pursed his lips and said: "I have great respect for Dashuai, just like the surging waters on the sea!" ”

"Sycophants!"

Huang Shihai muttered and smiled.

Li Zhen watched the two of them joking with each other, and he was also extremely happy in his heart.

With a turn of his eyes, Li Zhen looked at Qi Zhenhai and ordered in a harmonious voice: "Zhenhai, this time you defeated the British and French forces, and made Searle and Bao Ling and others disgraced, Mr. has made a lot of contributions." When you go back, tell your husband too, so that he can have fun too. Sir was the main hero of this battle, and if it wasn't for Mister's planning, the outcome might not have been so ideal. ”

Qi Zhenhai nodded and said, "Don't worry, Dashuai, I will tell my father-in-law when I return to my residence." ”

Huang Shihai suddenly interjected: "Dashuai, I have something to ask for, please Dashuai can promise me." ”

Li Zhen said: "At this time, I didn't talk about business, just said it. ”

Despite this, Huang Shihai looked a little restrained, and said slowly: "Xiaoqi stayed in the house, which added a lot of trouble to the handsome, and I plan to let Xiaoqi move out to live." However, I persuaded the girl several times, but Xiaoqi changed her methods and refused to move. I asked Dashuai to persuade Xiaoqi to move out by herself. ”

Li Zhen's mind turned, knowing that it was caused by a quarrel in the backyard.

Li Zhen didn't drag the mud and water, and said directly to the point: "Shihai, you also heard Xiaoqi say that I asked her to move out to live." At that time, I was also angry, so I said such things, and I didn't have the idea of letting her move out. ”

"The kid has a straightforward personality, a little quick temper, and can't tell the situation. That's why I told her so. Don't persuade her to move away, stay in the house and be a companion with Zhenhai's wife, so that she won't be lonely. However, I want to make it clear that she is not allowed to get involved in the backyard in the future. That's all, the rest is up to her. ”

Huang Shihai said: "Yes, I understand, thank you for forgiving my ignorant sister." ”

Huang Qi's attitude made Huang Shihai very helpless, he was just this one sister, and he was very spoiled. Huang Qi didn't move, and Huang Shihai was helpless. Now that Li Zhen is open to tell the matter, Huang Shihai is also relieved. However, Huang Shihai also kept a thought, thinking about how to warn Huang Qi not to get involved in Li Zhen's backyard.

Li Zhen nodded, sat up straight, and his expression instantly became serious.

When the rest of the generals saw this, they all knew that Li Zhen was going to get down to business.

Li Zhen's eyes swept over everyone, and he said in a deep voice: "After continuous fighting, the three thousand soldiers in our army have already suffered certain losses, and we must re-recruit new recruits for training. At the same time, there are veterans who need to be discharged. Among these veterans who need to be discharged, there are also those who have outstanding abilities and want to continue to stay, so they can train new recruits, and those who do not stay must do a good job of repatriation. This thing is very simple, and Shihai will arrange it. What I would like to say is about the need for another expansion of the armed forces. ”

Huang Shihai, the regiment commander and the highest general in the army, asked, "Dashuai, what do you think?" ”

Li Zhen looked at everyone, tapped the middle finger of his right hand lightly on the desk, and said slowly: "At present, the positioning in our army is a regiment, but there are 3,000 people, and it already belongs to the reinforced regiment. I decided to expand into a brigade and form a force of five regiments. One regiment of 1,000 people, a total of 5,000 people. In this way, our strength can also be improved, and there are also weapons provided by the Italian arsenal, which is enough to support the consumption of weapons for five regiments. ”

Yang Banhou pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Marshal, once the army is expanded, the generals in the army will definitely be promoted. As a result, there will inevitably be a group of people who will not adapt to the new environment, and there may also be a period of transition in the military. After all, many people are used to bringing only a small number of troops, and once the number of people is expanded, the situation will change. ”

Li Zhen nodded and said, "You have a point, for now, it is enough for our army to be expanded to one brigade." If it is further expanded, I am afraid that the quality of the soldiers will decline, and the pattern of Shanghai County will be difficult to support. The fighting has just stopped, there will be no big war for the time being, there will be a period of recuperation. Seize this time to let the soldiers step up their training and study, adjust and adapt to the new changes......"

"Understood!"

After Yang Banhou heard this, he immediately replied.

Li Zhen said solemnly: "This time, the army has been reorganized and expanded, and the number of troops has been expanded from 3,000 to 5,000. Among them, Huang Shihai served as the brigade commander of the Shanghai Army, managing the affairs of the army. Due to the scarcity of civilian officials, it is currently impossible to equip civilian officials to handle military affairs, so you can only be in charge of logistics and training, and the task on your shoulders is not light, so you must study more and adapt as soon as possible. ”

Huang Shihai stood up and saluted: "Don't worry, Huang Shihai will not let you down." ”

Li Zhen nodded and waved his hand for Huang Shihai to sit down.

Immediately, Li Zhen said: "Yang Banhou served as the commander of the first regiment of the Shanghai Army, equipped with 1,000 troops, but he had to hand over the sharp knife battalion and re-select an officer to serve as the company commander of the sharp knife battalion. You are no longer the one to lead a few soldiers, you have to get used to large-scale combat. At this point, you adjust yourself and get used to this rhythm as soon as possible. ”

"Yes!"

Yang Banhou got up and saluted, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, he could finally lead the troops. Although he does not have the right to the sharp knife battalion, Yang Banhou feels that it is more refreshing now, and only by killing the battlefield can he show his style.

Li Zhen looked at Qi Zhenhai and said, "Zhenhai, you are the commander of the second regiment of the Shanghai Army, equipped with a thousand troops. Zhenhai turned out to be the commander of a battalion, and now he has become the commander of the second regiment, and I am not worried. You come from a military family, and you are a gentleman, so you will definitely be able to adapt quickly. However, I hope you can train elite and brave soldiers, and you can't ruin the reputation of the Qi family, understand? ”

"Don't worry, Qi Zhenhai will definitely live up to your expectations."

Qi Zhenhai looked very excited, and in a blink of an eye, he was already the chief general leading the troops.

Li Zhen's eyes fell on Lu Shaochuan again, looked at Lu Shaochuan who was eager to try, and said unhurriedly: "Shaochuan, I appoint you to be the commander of the third regiment of the Shanghai Army, which is also equipped with a thousand troops. ”

Lu Shaochuan was an anxious child, and immediately asked: "Marshal, mine is the navy, not the army!" ”

Li Zhen smiled: "I have considered your situation, which is different from others. ”

A flash of joy immediately appeared on Lu Shaochuan's face, since Li Zhen had already arranged everything, he only needed to learn and adapt to the new life.
