Next to Yang Chao's room, a spacious house was vacated as a fixed conference room, in which there was a three-zhang long table in the middle of the room, and there were more than a dozen people sitting around, not only officers like Wang Pu and many men, but also civil servants like Huang Fengfu, and unemployed people like Lao Jin.

"This official has been promoted to the deputy general of the water battalion, and the position of the general manager in the middle of the country will be vacated!"

As soon as Yang Chao finished saying this, the expressions of several of his subordinates moved obviously.

Wang Pu, Li Wuliu, and Zhao Kang's eyes moved, and then they lowered their heads and looked at the table, obviously they all planned to compete for this position.

Many men, Song Kun, and Lu Mo moved slightly, and then showed a look of regret, of course these three people also wanted to sit in this position, but unfortunately, they knew that their military merits were not outstanding enough, and they were not enough to compete with Wang Pu and Li Wuliu at present.

Yang Chao smiled, he was clear about the open and secret battles among the officers, but it has always been a healthy competition, and there has not been a stumbling block behind whom, black feet and other shady means, so Yang Chao did not interfere, and this kind of competition is not all bad. Moreover, if you think about it privately, the soldiers under your command compete with each other, and no one obeys anyone, so it will not form a small hill and pose a threat to the big mountain of Yang Chao.

Out of scheming, some commanders will deliberately provoke fights between their generals, but Yang Chao obviously does not intend to use this self-harming method to consolidate his power, Yang Chao prefers a strict system, and after a strict power system is formed, it will not be so easy to break.

"Well, after careful consideration, the officer decided to transfer—"

Yang Chao deliberately dragged his tone, and saw that several people raised their heads in unison, looking at him quite eagerly.

Only then did he smile and say: "Li Wuliu was transferred to the front department as the general manager of the front department, responsible for the formation of a firearms unit!" ”

Li Wuliu was immediately overjoyed. For a while, he secretly used too much force, and he actually stood up, and he was suddenly embarrassed. He apologized to the others with fists, and sat down with a smile.

Wang Pu couldn't help but scold: "The villain is powerful." ”

Li Wuliu is currently among Yang Chao's core officers. The only one who was not born in Xiaolingwei, and was also recruited in the second batch, at first he was just a small soldier under Wang Pu, and by chance, he switched from an archer to a bird gun, and as a result, he repeatedly made military merits, and in terms of the number of enemies killed, he should be able to rank first. surpassed the past commander Wang Pu, which made it difficult for the arrogant Wang Pu to accept, but where the military exploits of others were placed, there was nothing to say.

At this point, someone suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Front? Isn't it Chubu? ”

Lu Mo gently pushed his arm against many men, and the two exchanged a look, both of them aware of the problem.

I saw that Yang Chao continued unhurriedly: "Transfer Wang Pu to the rear of the thousand presidents!" ”

When Wang Pu was muttering to himself, he was suddenly stunned: "Wang Pu, Mr. Qian!" ”

These two words made him a little confused, and he didn't even pay attention to the two prefixes at the back, and looked left and right with a confused face. I noticed that everyone else didn't seem to care too much, and I suddenly felt as if I had missed something.

At this time, where did the others take care of Wang Pu, and they all rose up and were careful. The front and rear parts of the thousand are there, but the middle has not yet landed, who is this middle thousand back on?

In the past, except for Wang Pu is the commander, most of the others are flag generals, and no one loses anyone, although Zhao Kang is the chief of the pro-soldier banner, but the number of soldiers under his command is the smallest, at most it is thirty people, and everyone else can command an army of more than 100 people.

Other words. This Qianzong, Lu Mo, many men, Zheng Yongwang, Sun Changfu and others have hope.

"A lot of men were transferred. For the Chubu Thousand Total! ”

Yang Chao didn't stumble, and read it out in one breath.

Naturally, a few families are happy and a few are sad. Many of the men were breathing a little short, others were sad.

Especially Zhao Kang, he thought that he, as the captain of the pro-soldiers, deserved a position of a thousand generals.

Then Yang Chao began to read other appointments: "Transfer Zheng Yongwang to the head of the left division of the rear department, and transfer Sun Changfu to the head of the right division of the rear department, and return to Wang Pu's control!" ”

These two people can be regarded as the old team of Xiaolingwei, they have always been decent, there are no special advantages, and there are no special shortcomings, so let them be the boss of Wang Pu's subordinates and ask for a stable word.

"Transferred Lu Mo to the head of the left division of the central region, and Song Kun was transferred to the head of the right division of the central region, which is under the control of many men!"

Lu Mo is literate, and his command ability is slightly stronger than Zheng Yongwang and Sun Changfu, Song Kun, this kid, is actually quite ruthless in character, although there has been no chance to perform, but he can pull out at a critical moment, the level of these two people is stronger than Wang Pu's two generals, it can be said that Yang Chao still took care of the central part of the thousand headquarters that he led in the past.

Many men are also a very stable person, and they are very careful and serious, down-to-earth, his training level is always stronger than others, but because of stability, when fighting, he is often a little conservative, so he is a good general to defend the camp, Yang Chao has given many men with Lu Mo and Song Kun, two good helpers, the purpose is self-evident, that is, I hope to use the stability of many men in the future as a guard.

And Wang Pu himself was a little reckless in the past, but after the bloody battle in Haizhou, he has become much more stable, but he still dares to fight and dare to rush, and he is paired with two not very outstanding subordinates, just hoping that there will be no weak soldiers under the strong general, and I hope that he will boost the momentum of the entire thousand headquarters, and he will still need him to attack the city in the future.

As for Li Wuliu, there was no reliable middle-level officer to give him, because the firearms unit was newly established, so he used Li Wuliu's past team to fill the positions of those team leaders, and even gunners or something, but they had not yet been found, so Li Wuliu could only be left to think about training by himself.

Yang Chao continued to add: "In the future, many men will be the commanders of the army in their own officials. ”

The so-called Chinese army, generally refers to the troops directly under the chief officer, many male official positions are the central thousand general, is the army started by Yang Chao, Yang Chao is now transferring the central part of the army as his own Chinese army, it can be regarded as nostalgia, I hope this name will continue to be by his side.

Then he said: "Zhao Kang is the commander of the officer's own soldiers, and he will select five hundred elite soldiers to protect the officer's side." ”

Zhao Kang nodded, his expression was slightly better, he thought that there was a thousand general officials, but he ended up with a general manager, although he was still promoted one level higher than in the past. But in the past, Wang Pu could hold him down, and now there are three people who are taller than him.

When I heard that I could lead 500 people, I felt a little better. He can also understand that what official position is not important. The important thing is to have soldiers in hand, the more soldiers in hand, the more opportunities for meritorious service, the reason why Wang Pu has been pressing many men, is it not because of the first step by step, if they were not lucky to be the first to kill Jiang Bandit, they may not be better than others now.

I've only had about 30 people all the time, and although I've been fighting hard, the number of kills and so on. It's really not as good as others.

And after all these years, Zhao Kang can be regarded as having figured out his cousin's temper, his cousin will not forget his feelings, but he takes into account the thoughts of others, and he has to think about his cousin as a cousin, if he wants to be promoted, he still has to make meritorious contributions in battle, so that his cousin will not have to be afraid of other people's gossip.

In the end, Yang Chao appointed Hu Quan as the last commander, subordinate to the artillery team, and he was the first to be literate. Second, this time in Haizhou, Yang Chao kept pressing him to the artillery team and let him be with the gunners. As a result, the kid boss was unhappy, Yang Chao did mean to protect him as a scholar, but he always thought that Yang Chao looked down on him a little and sulked for a long time.

This time, Yang Chao fortunately sent him down, just let him help Li Wuliu to form a firearms unit, where is Li Wuliu really too literate, and firearms troops often need culture the most, which is considered a technical class, so just let him go. Anyway, he has been in contact with the gunners for so long, so he can be considered a little experienced.

Now Hu Quan is finally satisfied. In the future, others joked that he was not a pig killer. Changed it to a cannon put total.

So far, three thousand generals, six generals, all have been appointed.

Then Yang Chao read out the other appointments one by one, all of which were low-level officers such as the general flag chief.

In the end, Yang Chao began to read out new things.

"Now this officer wants to talk about the new system, this is a new military system, you all listen to me."

After speaking, Yang Chao looked around, and everyone immediately sat up straight.

Yang Chao said at this time: "This official has decided to set up a military judge in the army!" There are three military judges on a temporary basis, who handle disputes between the military and the military in peacetime. The front artillery team (right division) made the chief Hu Quan the judge of the regular army, the left division of the central part of the department took the chief Lu Mo, and the left division of the rear department made the chief Zheng Yongwang the deputy army judge. Each department will send one person, and in the future, disputes in the army will be adjudicated by three people. ”

In the past, all kinds of disputes in the army were adjudicated by Yang Chao himself, and then executed by the pro-soldier team, but in the past, the number of people was small, and there were few disputes, and this time Yang Chao's army will expand from 800 in the past to more than 2,000 people, and Yang Chao alone will not be able to deal with it.

So let Hu Quan be the main judge, Lu Mo and Zheng Yongwang as deputy judges, and the three of them came from three different thousand corps, so that even if there was a dispute between the two thousand corps, they would not be favored, and among them, Hu Quan was the most literate, and Lu Mo was the most familiar with military law, Zheng Yongwang just made people feel that the military judge was very fair, and there was not one person in each thousand to make up the number.

Then Yang Chao said: "This officer has decided to add a new military rule, if a soldier does not agree with the officer's order, he can appeal to the military judge, and all of them will be tried in accordance with military law." If a soldier questions an officer's order, he must carry it out first, and he can appeal after the battle. ”

The formulation of this military regulation is that Yang Chao is worried that the officers will make actions to oppress the soldiers, and the soldiers will have nowhere to appeal, so there will be a backlog of contradictions, and after a long time, the officers and soldiers will be separated from morality and will not be able to unite sincerely.

At this time, this situation in Yang Chao's army is not too serious, unlike other armies, it is common for officers to bully others and let small soldiers help do some extra things, Yang Chao does not want to see his soldiers being shouted by the officers to pour the toilet for him, and being shouted to do chores at home.

Although the situation in Yang Chao's army is better, that is, the officers often beat the soldiers according to their mood, and the soldiers have nowhere to reason, although they feel that the officers are wrong, they can only swallow their anger, so Yang Chao will find them a place to vent their grievances, so that they can sue the commander, so that the commander will be more restrained.

"I would like to say now that there are five hundred and thirteen brothers who came back with us this time, and only four hundred and three are willing to serve as soldiers. Another 110 people are no longer willing to continue to serve as soldiers. ”

Yang Chao said that it was a pity that the conditions of the more than 100 people's families were not too bad, and with the hundreds of taels of silver they brought back, they suddenly no longer needed to be soldiers to eat food, but they also did not have the strength to be a small landlord with peace of mind, because they were all military households, and the fields of the guard had long been occupied by hereditary military attachés, which could not be bought by money. Therefore, they will either continue to grow food for the officers, or they will go into some small business, which is not a good future. Therefore, Yang Chao has some regrets.

However, Yang Chao has a new proposition: "Among the 110 people, there are 80 soldiers. There are eight people in the team and twenty-two people in the team. Although these people were reluctant to become soldiers, the official still recruited them. Since they don't want to fight anymore, they can still help their own officers train their troops. They have been in battle and killed, and these experiences can be passed on. The officer will vacate an empty battalion as a boot camp, and each soldier will receive at least three months of basic training before being added to the various teams. Cadet officer of the boot barracks. Let's let Jin Lao be temporary, but Jin Lao, your boss always has a name, I can't always be Jin Lao, Lao Jin will call you. ”

This Lao Jin has never known his name, he is the old nurse of Wang Xiao's family, but Wang Xiao doesn't know his name, it is said that he is afraid of insulting his ancestors, but Yang Chao has always guessed that this is a deserter who was retrieved from the battlefield in Liaodong, and he has been incognito for fear of guilt.

But now, with Yang Chao's ability, even if he was really a deserter back then. Yang Chao was also easy to protect, so he asked.

Lao Jin was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "Your Excellency must know a name." Then call me Jin Yong. ”

After Yang Chao left Nanjing, Lao Jin has been in the Jinchai Building, after Yang Chao came back, he recruited him again, after inquiry, he promised to help Yang Chao train again, and because Yang Chao killed tens of thousands of Tartars this time, Lao Jin's attitude towards Yang Chao has changed, and there were some arrogance of predecessors in the battlefield. Now I am a little in awe of Yang Chao.

However, Yang Chao didn't care too much about these fictitious things, and Lao Jin was willing to continue to help him. Of course, it's good to let Lao Jin be in charge of this newly formed boot camp.

Yang Chao has always liked the mode of separating training and leading troops. I always feel that the reason for the emergence of warlords is not only because the officers pay the soldiers and control the livelihood of the soldiers, but also because every soldier is trained by their officers, so that the feelings established together from walking can often form a small mountain.

The training of recruits is separated from the leading soldiers, so that the officers become professional operational commanders, rather than training officers, and it is more formal, and the armies of later generations often operate in this way, and the soldiers are first entered the recruit training camp and completed the training before they are sent to the company.

"In addition to the Judge Advocate General's Office and the new barracks, the officer also set up a logistics office, with Huang Fengfu as the logistics officer, who will be responsible for the procurement of materials and the distribution of military salaries for the whole army in the future."

In fact, procurement, etc., Huang Fengfu has been doing it in Haizhou this time, Yang Chao has no time to do this, but the power to pay military salaries before Yang Chao was firmly in his hands, Yang Chao once heard the old man in the family tell the story of Yuan Shikai, it is said that Yuan Shikai likes to send a piece of the ocean to the soldiers in person, so that the soldiers are grateful to him Dade knows that Yuan Shikai is their food and clothing, so he is loyal to Yuan Shikai, and does not care about the national court.

Therefore, Yang Chao also imitated this hand before, but it didn't matter if there were hundreds of people before, but after this time, there will be thousands of people, so it can't be indifferent, just hand it over to Huangfeng Mansion, anyway, Huangfeng Mansion has always been regarded as an account room. As for the problem that Huang Fengfu can't be busy alone, Yang Chao has already thought about it, and this time Huang Fengfu recruited nearly 100 scholars from the Erli Society, although they are all peripheral personnel of the Erli Society who have no merit, and it is obviously not qualified to be a master for civil officials, so he is also willing to do things for Yang Chao in exchange for some money.

Therefore, Yang Chao actually handed over these financial rights to the logistics department of Huangfeng Mansion, not Huangfeng Mansion alone.

There is a special recruit camp, a military justice department, and an independent logistics system, Yang Chao feels that his army is a bit regular, it used to be a private army, there are not many rules in a mess, hundreds of people can do this, tens of thousands of people can't do it, just like Zuo Liangyu's army, Yang Chao really can't look down on it, it's okay to fight the rabble of the peasant army, and it's too far away when it comes to the well-organized Manchurian Eight Banners.

Therefore, in the face of a well-organized opponent, you can only be more organized, more military-regulated, and more disciplined than the opponent.

It is precisely because of these thoughts that after Yang Chao came back from Haizhou, he began to preside over these things, and now it looks like something is missing, just an independent military industrial system, the military war bureau of the imperial court is unreliable, where is the weapon for half a century Qi Jiguang dare not use it, and now Yang Chao does not dare to use it.

However, for the time being, there is no opportunity to form an independent military industrial production, and it depends on what the people sent to Haizhou are doing.

"That's all for today's meeting. You have a lot to do, and according to the adjusted establishment, the officers under your command will probably change, and the organization is still early. It's been hard work for the past few days, and within ten days, I've been grouped together, and I don't want to see them even find the new officers under them. ”

In the end, Yang Chao said in a somewhat unhappy tone, he disrupted some officers this time, also to prevent the formation of small hills, and also because of the adjustment, but this level of reorganization is basically equivalent to disrupting the reorganization, and the officers and soldiers at all levels are redistributed, and it is too troublesome to ask these officers to find them one by one, and they have to help those people in Huangfeng Mansion to help them, who makes these people illiterate.

If everyone is literate, they only need to set up a few tables, for example, Wang Pu set up a table, raise the flag of the rear headquarters, and the officers and soldiers assigned to them will gather to report. But now Wang Pu himself is illiterate, how can he get it. Therefore, when Yang Chao thought of this, he felt a little hated that iron could not become steel.

"As for the recruits, your subordinates can't make up for it for the time being, and we have to wait for the situation in Haizhou."

Yang Chao finally said.

Before the meeting, Yang Chao had already sent a group of low-level officers to Haizhou, and they were holding the recruitment documents in their hands.

These documents were issued by Shi Kefa to the Ministry of War, allowing Yang Chao to recruit soldiers in Haizhou until the recruitment quota was sufficient.

After restoring the two thousand headquarters before and after, plus those left by Yu Chengwu, there were more than 2,000 vacancies in Yang Chao's hands.

Yang Chao has always been in Haizhou's 3,000 people's mind, after the siege of Haizhou was lifted, these people only wanted to be stable for the rest of their lives, so they were reluctant to come to Nanjing, but after such a long time, what should they have done in the past, carrying salt bags at the wharf, drying salt in the salt field, and even farming in the guardhouse, fishing in the seaside fishing village, anyway, they are all poor people, otherwise they will not be arrested Minzhuang, but anyone with a little background, it is impossible to be driven to the city by the government to take risks.

Even the soldiers under Yang Chao who made a fortune changed their minds and returned to the barracks after a few days of hard work when they went home, not to mention these people, for these coolies in Haizhou, the treatment of Yang Chao's army is still very attractive, and the officers who have trained them in Haizhou in the past should be able to recruit a lot.

These people have seen blood, and they have seen the most barbaric and ferocious Manchu Eight Banners on the land of East Asia, and with a little training, they are an elite soldier, so Yang Chao would rather go to Haizhou to recruit troops first, and when Haizhou recruitment is over, he will replenish it in the guard post near Nanjing according to the shortage.

"Now, Stand"

All stand and salute.

Yang Chao said: "Disband!" ”

It is finally over, and many people think in their hearts that the first military meeting after the Great War of Haizhou is over. (To be continued...... ）。
