The purpose of killing officers is to be able to improve the combat effectiveness of the border army, killing people is by no means the goal, the importance of officers to the army is irreplaceable, one general is incompetent, tired to death of the three armies, Su Tiancheng, who is about to leave Liaodong, focuses on the border army officers.

The stability of Liaodong is a prerequisite that cannot be shaken, and all adjustments and deployments must be carried out around this purpose, but the actual situation faced by Su Tiancheng is also a little tricky.

Although a large number of border troops have been abolished, and most of the military cantonments have left the army directly, but among the border troops, many officers still exist, and it is not a good thing to have more officers. To arrange so many officers, the Jiangning battalion pays attention to the allocation of grass-roots officers, and for officers such as the general flag and the small flag, it is very important, but for the senior officers of the type of guard command and envoy organs, it is not required to be fully equipped, and a guard command and envoy organ has a lot of commanders and commanders, and so on, and the allocation of these officers pursues the principle of being capable and efficient, and the higher the status, the more military salaries, and the more silver is consumed.

After the abolition of the border army, a large number of officers remained, they had nothing to do, and there were almost no sergeants under them, Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui, Zu Dabi, Zu Dale and others, for such a situation, they were helpless, they could not do it themselves, they could only be put like this, and the governor's office did not put forward a request. It's just that in the month of Layue, the Governor's Mansion killed more than 30 officers, which formed a huge shock to these officers.

Before leaving Liaodong, Su Tiancheng had to solve this problem, but he thought about it for a long time. None of them found a good solution, and the hundreds of thousands of border troops were abolished, and the officers involved were several thousand, which is a huge team, and many of the officers in it are from military families.

This task was implemented on Qu Qingze's head.

After a period of time, Qu Qingze's hair was about to turn white. I can't think of a good way.

When entering the wing, Qu Qingze shrugged his head.

"My lord, the matter of the border army officers, the lower officials really can't think of a good way, there are more than 8,000 people in total, I don't know how to settle the road, the lower officials have investigated, among these officers. Only a few can fight well. Most of them don't have much combat effectiveness, and if you want to arrange them, there is no possibility, and those officers who can fight well are counted under the list. ”

"How many of these people are there?"

"About one thousand and one thousand people, and seven thousand officers remaining. It's hard to arrange such a huge amount. ”

"These 1,100 people, I will stay in Dengzhou, and the rest of the officers, according to your original idea. Prepare how to dispose of it. ”

"Xia Guan's original idea was to disarm and return to the field, just like the border army that was dismantled, but unfortunately this method, I don't know if Lu Dao is feasible, and I don't know how much impact Lu Dao will have, if you don't have enough certainty, you don't dare to do it."

Su Tiancheng nodded, time is very urgent, and he must make a choice.

His original idea was to let these officers disarm and return to the field, these officers have a low level of education, and it is even more impossible to enter the official government, but it is definitely not possible to always put it like this, and it is definitely not possible to give these officers a part of the silver taels, so that they can all be disarmed and returned to the field, which is the best way, but this kind of practice is not possible to do it directly in Liaodong, so many officers, if there is any commotion, I am afraid that something will happen, and it will be difficult to deal with.

"Lao Qu, what do you think about letting these officers become an army alone and be stationed in Datong."

Qu Qingze shook his head again and again.

"My lord, the lower officials are honest, these officers have no ability, the shelf is not small, and they think very highly of themselves, such a person, wherever they go, it is a headache, put it in Datong, Lord Zhang Fengyi will definitely have a headache, if they are replaced by lower officials, they want to let them be relieved and return to the field."

"This method, I have also thought about it, but there are still some problems, rashly dismissing so many officers, I am afraid it will cause a sensation, or need to be cautious, the Governor's Mansion has abolished so many sergeants, in the court, there has been a lot of discussion, I am afraid that this year's military salary, will be reduced, at that time, I also thought, together with these officers, together with the reduction, but unfortunately this step was not done, now to deal with, it is much more difficult."

"My lord, the lower officials think that there is not much of a problem, and it is not a big problem to ask them to directly disarm and return to the field, besides, the shock caused by the killing of a group of officers who have done a lot of evil a year ago is very great, and they dare not say much about taking this opportunity to dismiss the officers."

Su Tiancheng shook his head.

"Lao Qu, we can't just see the positive side, there is also the negative side, we have eliminated so many border troops, the shock caused is not small, this time to kill the evil officer, the same is a kind of deterrent, do things need to be relaxed, blindly adopt a high-pressure policy, it will definitely cause some resentment, this kind of resentment is very deadly, if it is not done well, it will form anger, play a great role in destruction."

"These officers still have some influence in Liaodong, no matter what, they have been stationed in Liaodong for a long time, and there are still some sergeants under them before, this kind of influence cannot be eliminated in a short time, if we can't smoothly guide them and take tough measures, it's not appropriate."

Qu Qingze stopped talking, he also knew a little about the situation in the imperial court, if Liaodong caused a large-scale fluctuation, it just gave the imperial court a truth, maybe the imperial court would react quickly, and it was possible to send someone to Liaodong.

There was some silence in the wing.

After a long while, Su Tiancheng finally spoke.

"I think it's still according to my thoughts, these officers are all sent to Yulin, join the Yulin battalion, and let Lord Lu Xiangsheng train these officers, if they can go through rigorous training, they will slowly be added to the officer corps in the future, if they can't go through rigorous training, then they have to be eliminated."

"Okay, my lord has decided, the lower officials will handle it immediately, these officers are also panicked at the moment, I don't know what to do next, the lower officials will contact Lord Lu Xiangsheng."

"I will handle the matter of contact directly, I will write a letter to Lord Lu Xiangsheng, specifically explain the situation, and ask him to strictly train these officers, one thing you have to remember, these officers cannot stay in Liaodong, they must all leave Liaodong, none of them can stay, all go to Yulin."

"The officers you need to stay at, where are you going to be for the time being?"

"All enter the Jiangning camp barracks."

After Qu Qingze left, Su Tiancheng fell into deep thought.

The matter of the officers has been solved, and the rest is the problem of Zu Dashou, Zu Dabi, Zu Dale and Wu Sangui, these people are the key, after a period of contact, Su Tiancheng felt that many problems among the officers were still in these people, Zu Dashou's understanding was a little rough, and he did not pay much attention to some details among the officers, which caused the problem that military discipline was not very good, and in Zu Dashou's heart, there was no clear understanding of these things. As for Zu Dabi, he has a calm personality, but he is not the chief officer in the middle of the army, and under the leadership of Zu Dashou, he rarely pays attention to these aspects, and Zu Dale's personality is straightforward and generally does not pay attention to the construction of officers.

The biggest problem is Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui's mind is deep, he has a clear eye for doing things, and he has always been committed to the construction of the army, the focus is on cultivating his own strength, and he has a lot of henchmen in the army, this is something that cannot be ignored, Su Tiancheng came to Liaodong to rectify the border army, in fact, it is to weaken Wu Sangui's strength to the greatest extent.

How to deal with the affairs of these people, Su Tiancheng needs to think about it, all stay in Liaodong, it will definitely not work, especially Wu Sangui, but if you want to bring Wu Sangui to Dengzhou and Laizhou, it also requires great courage, relying on historical knowledge, Su Tiancheng knew that Wu Sangui is a capricious villain, such a person stays by his side, if he does not have a strong ability to control, it is equivalent to putting a time bomb around him.

But Su Tiancheng had to think about it, put Wu Sangui in Liaodong, the problem is probably bigger, so many border troops were dismantled, Wu Sangui did not reveal any attitude and dissatisfaction on the surface, unlike Zu Dashou, but also said the dissatisfaction and worry in his heart, Wu Sangui's thoughts are all in his heart, I am afraid that when the opportunity is ripe, it will be revealed.

Liaodong is resolutely unable to fluctuate, in this case, Su Tiancheng must find a way to let Wu Sangui leave Liaodong, or to Datong, or to Yulin, or to Dengzhou, in comparison, let Wu Sangui go to Dengzhou, is the best choice.

Under such circumstances, the connection between Wu Sangui and the border army was basically severed.

Su Tiancheng is the governor of Jiliao, and he has the power to deploy the chief military officer who goes down, and once the decision is made, he only needs to report it to the imperial court.

It should be said that Su Tiancheng has been thinking about this matter for a while, because of the problem of the border army officer, Su Tiancheng had to make a quick decision, take Wu Sangui to leave Liaodong, go directly to Dengzhou, let Wu Sangui directly enter the water division, and also serve as the chief military officer, no matter how powerful Wu Sangui is, in front of him, he can't make many small moves.
