The expansion of the Huluyan army and the split of the Zhenshan battalion are all major events closely related to themselves, Zhao Shougang and others mostly focused on Feng Jian, pricking up their ears to listen to the conversation between the commander and Xu Yannian.

Seeing that Feng Jian handed over the Huluyan army preparation map to Xu Yannian, everyone hurriedly finished lunch in two of three, staring at Xu Yannian, wishing to know its content immediately.
Feng Jian said with a smile: "You don't need to worry, please read it out to everyone by the way." ā
Xu Yannian stood up and said, "Subordinates obey!" Turning to face the anxiously waiting crowd, he recited them one by one in order.
Everyone present here is well aware of the disadvantages of the Zhenshan Battalion's bloated organization and poor command, and they also know that the commander is planning to carry out this restructuring.
However, no one got the slightest rumor about the content of this Huluyan army's compilation plan in advance, and at this time, it was suddenly announced in public, and everyone was somewhat caught off guard, and they couldn't guess what the commander meant by raising this matter resolutely?
Hearing that the Zhenshan Battalion had been expanded into a large military department, and that the number of soldiers had been expanded to more than 25,000, and that several of them would become the commanders of different military departments, everyone present could not hide their excitement without exception.
Feng Jian looked around at everyone, and when he heard Xu Yannian finish reading it, he said with a smile: "I would like to add, the troop strength mentioned on the establishment map does not include the fleet of the Floating Mountain Water Division, strictly speaking, the five thousand officers and soldiers of the Floating Mountain Water Division fleet and the warships should also be calculated to the existing military strength of Huluyan, but the food and equipment of the Floating Mountain Water Division fleet are all supplied by the imperial court, so this time the imperial court had better confirm the establishment of the Zhenshan Battalion and give the allocation of food and equipment, at least the emperor and the imperial court should dispatch our army to fight." It is necessary to provide sufficient food and military supplies. ā
After a sigh of relief, he continued: "Back to the adjustment of the Huluyan army, this preparation plan is not the final decision. Today, I would like to invite you to see what the shortcomings are, and let's improve them together. The purpose is to carry out the current military restructuring to the end without leaving any future troubles, because it will continue to use the establishment set today for a long time to come. As he spoke, he looked at everyone earnestly.
Xu Yannian pursued the ancient adage of "ten thousand words, it is better to be silent", bowed down and handed back the hand-compiled drawing to Feng Jian, sat back at the table and pondered silently.
Jiao Keli rolled his eyes, and spying on other people's ** with various contacts all year round, gradually developed a dark heart, thinking that things would be dark.
This compilation must have been carefully considered by Feng Jian, and now it seems to be tentative to launch without warning. This is the idea of Jiao Keli's heart turning.
Zhao Shougang, Shen Xiaoshan and other flexible-minded people were puzzled, and they secretly guessed the intention of Feng Jian's move, while Huang Fuchun and Zhou Wei followed Feng Jian's words, frowning and thinking about what was wrong with compiling the map.
Zhao Shougang thought for a moment, bowed to Feng Jian and said: "The commander has a far-sighted plan to redivide the Zhenshan Battalion into a large military department, which is the most in line with the current situation of the Zhenshan Battalion's strength. Subordinates and others can only bow down to their orders. ā
Zhao Shougang is a smart person, and the meaning of his expression is also very clear, this gourd rock is the foundation of your commander, and it is such a major event that determines the future and fate of everyone under him. You alone can decide, and your subordinates will participate in it, and the slightest inappropriate speech will cause trouble.
Shen Xiaoshan rolled his eyes and said, "The Enemy Hunting Division has been expanded into a flying cavalry battalion. The number of cavalry surged nearly fivefold at once, making up for the lack of cavalry in the battle against the enemy. The commander is really wise, and his subordinates admire the five-body throw! ā
Hearing Zhao Shougang is and Shen Xiaoshan expressing their positions one after another. Huang Fuchun, Zhou Wei and others gradually came back to their senses, yes, Huluyan is the Huluyan of the commander Feng Jian, and these generals are just the generals and servants of the commander Feng Jian, where do they have the right to interfere with the master's arrangement and decision.
Everyone thought they understood Feng Jian's intentions, so the atmosphere on the scene suddenly changed greatly, and they began to sing praises of merit.
The sudden change in the atmosphere at the scene made Feng Jian a little unexpected, this Huluyan military establishment map was indeed carefully considered, and he originally wanted to convene the main officers of the Zhenshan Battalion to discuss collectively, but after receiving the information sent by Pan Zhaoying in the capital, Feng Jian felt that he had to speed up the pace of the restructuring of the Zhenshan Battalion.
Today's convening and launching of the compilation map is indeed to let these subordinates pick up the gaps, but he ignores the difference between the people's ideas and concepts of this era and the later generations.
When he first took over Huluyan two years ago, no one had any scruples when he encountered this kind of thing, because they didn't think that Feng Jian was much higher than them, but now Feng Jian directly had an army of 30,000 elites, and the Huluyan Mutual Aid Association produced several million taels of grain every year.
These alone naturally created a chasm between the ordinary people of Huluyan and Feng Jian, and naturally they had a sense of awe for Feng Jian, even these henchmen and generals around Feng Jian were not exempt from vulgarity. Therefore, it is natural for this kind of scene of singing praises of virtue!
Looking at the subordinates with smiling faces in front of him, I don't know what the reason is, Feng Jian suddenly felt that his heart was empty, there were obviously many subordinates sitting beside him, but he felt inexplicably cold, at this moment Feng Jian deeply realized what it means to be cold in a high place!
Feng Jian secretly sighed, I am afraid that this kind of fear of power may exist in ancient and modern times, and he is powerless to change this status quo, maybe he should hand over the Huluyan military establishment map to his father-in-law Chen Suowen and ask him to give him opinions and suggestions. What's more, after all, everyone in front of us is from a peasant background, and they are all its beneficiaries, so it is indeed inappropriate to expect them to pick up the slack.
Feng Jian was helpless, waved his hand and said: "Since you have no objection to this preparation map, then it is determined, and the Huluyan army will be reorganized immediately in accordance with the requirements of the preparation map, I estimate that the imperial army will gather and jointly destroy the Kong Youde rebels within two months, and the Huluyan soldiers will definitely be requisitioned, so the reorganization task will be completed within a month." ā
He turned his gaze to Zhao Shougang and said, "Zhao Shougang! ā
"The subordinates are here!" Zhao Shougang hurriedly stood up, his body straight.
Feng Jian waved his hand to signal Zhao Shougang to sit down and speak, and then said: "Time is tight, the reorganization task is heavy, this is the biggest problem facing the reorganization of the army, and the reorganization work will be handed over to your general staff battalion for specific implementation." ā
Zhao Shougang was in good spirits, raised his hand to salute Feng Jian, and said loudly: "My subordinates will never live up to the trust of the commander!" ā
Feng Jian nodded and continued: "Set up a reorganization leading group, with myself as the team leader, everyone here as the deputy leader, and Zhao Shougang is specifically responsible for the daily work. ā
Feng Jian kept telling the principles that should be followed in the process of reorganizing the troops, and he was afraid that the officers present would not be able to remember, so he instructed Huang Jinjiang to find a guard who wrote fluently to record on the side.
Zhao Shougang and others listened carefully to Feng Jian's plan for reorganization, and inquired from time to time when there were doubts.
In the evening, the door of the council hall was opened, and the officers of the Zhenshan Battalion, who had been meeting for an afternoon, walked out of the door of the council hall, and everyone was excited and excited. They are the battalion officers of the Huluyan Military Department, and they are also in charge of the Huluyan military force, can you not be excited!
On the 20th day of the fifth month of Chongzhen, Huluyan's selection of recruits ended, with 1,170 cavalry and 4,382 infantry, all of whom were veterans of battlefield battles, and there was no need to go through recruit training.
On the thirtieth day of the fifth month of Chongzhen, the reward of the imperial court finally came down, and this time it was the ceremonial supervisor Gao Binggao who came to announce the decree. The holy decree praised Feng Jian for commanding the Zhenshan battalion to defeat the rebels, and captured the rebel general Chen Guangfu, and rewarded Feng Jian as the general of Mingwei, the general of the Dengzhou Naval Division, and the Zhenshan Battalion was directly merged into the Dengzhou Naval Division.
For the court's reward, everyone in the Zhenshan Camp didn't care very much, they drove away Kong Youde's rebels in order to protect their hometown from the scourge of the rebels, and no one in their bones looked at the pitiful reward of the court.
Although Feng Jian didn't care much about the rewards of the imperial court, before he was fledgling, he had to befriend this father-in-law who passed on the decree, and even more so to befriend Wen Tiren and other court giants who could control his lifeline, so he sent a large amount of silver and two gifts to Gonggong Gao back to Beijing.
On July 10, the fifth year of Chongzhen, Yang 80, an officer of the Shenji Battalion, accepted the first batch of 500 flintlock guns and 10,000 mini rounds from the Huluyan Military Research Institute on behalf of the Shenji Battalion.
On July 20, the fifth year of Chongzhen, Jiang Liang, an officer of the artillery battalion, accepted 10 pounds of Western cannons manufactured by the Huluyan Military Research Institute on behalf of the artillery battalion.
On July 30, the fifth year of Chongzhen, Zhou Wei, the commander of the chariot battalion, accepted 10 artillery chariots copied by the Huoluyan Military Research Institute on behalf of the chariot battalion, 20 chariots, and 8 general chariots.
On August 3, the fifth year of Chongzhen, all the soldiers in Huluyan were issued military uniforms, and each person had a complete set of standard Ming Dynasty army uniforms.
On August 12, the fifth year of Chongzhen, the reorganization of the Huluyan army was completed, and on the same day, the Huluyan army swearing-in meeting was held at the Zhenshan camp station.
On the training ground of the Zhenshan Battalion, more than 25,000 soldiers were arranged according to their respective belongings, standing on the point platform and looking down, the flags of each battalion were fluttering head-on under the mountain wind, hula and lala, and below the flags was a sea of red with a neat lineup, and the array of swords and guns showed an extraordinary might.
On the general's platform, the military commander of the first bureau of the eighth battalion of Huluyan came to Feng Jian in front of Feng Jian in turn, knelt down on his knees to accept Feng Jian's appointment, accepted and displayed the military flag given by Feng Jian in public, which attracted bursts of cheers from the soldiers in the audience.
