After returning to Weizhou, Li Bao immediately went to Zhang Qingping's regimental training embassy to once again convene a high-level military affairs meeting of Weizhou military and political officials, this time to discuss the reorganization of the Weizhou New Army.

Zhang Qingping returned to Weizhou because of his injury, and the defense of Yan County and Weiyuan County was handed over to Xiahou Haoyue and Ouyang Hui for the time being.

Zhang Qingping made a review to Li Bao at the military affairs meeting, admitting that he had some knots in his heart that day, but he had absolutely no intention of being disrespectful to Li Bao, and asked Li Bao to forgive him.

Zhang Qingping's attitude was to formally announce to the top brass of the Weizhou Army that Li Bao's status was formally established and that he was the chief of the Weizhou Army.

Zhang Qingping did this is also the result of his careful consideration in the past few days, although he is the training envoy of the Weizhou regiment and the leader of the Weizhou army on the surface, but his position is operated by Li Bao, and Zhou Rui, Qian De'an, and Xiahou Haoyue are all Li Bao's hardcore.

In addition, Zhang Qingping also married his sister Li Ying, the eldest princess of Changning, under the mediation of Li Bao. If he doesn't put himself in the right position, then the relationship between him, Li Ying and Li Bao will have problems sooner or later in the future.

There are also Zhang family connections, although they have connections in the court, but with the rise of Tian Lingzi and other eunuchs, the connections of the Zhang family can at most ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing, and it is delusional to be as prominent as they are now. So in a practical sense, their Zhang family can only honestly rely on Li Bao, the prince of the clan who hides his strength.

Li Bao accepted Zhang Qingping's apology, and said that he had forgotten about the incident a long time ago, and also instructed the medical officer and attendants to take good care of Zhang Qingping to ensure that his injuries healed as soon as possible.

The two have a friendship that they have formed since they were teenagers, but this attitude must be made, because the ancients valued the most respectful and lowly, and the class must not be wrong. Li Bao and Zhang Qingping have a deep friendship and have Li Ying's in-laws, but the subordinate relationship cannot be messed up.

Although Li Bao is not accustomed to this kind of hypocritical attitude, he knows that he must act like a lord, after all, the troubled times are coming, and if he does not determine the dignity and humility with his subordinates now, it will be easy to make chaos in the future, which cannot be sloppy.

He still remembers that when later generations evaluated the history of the five dynasties at the end of the Tang Dynasty, one sentence summed it up most vividly: the Son of Heaven, the strong soldiers and horses can do it.

It was because in order to prevent King Li Bao from enjoying his wealth safely and smoothly, he had to learn to pretend, although he himself did not like this. When the two of them have laughed and looked like they have done enough, it's time to get down to business.

Today's meeting is very important, and Li Bao invited Wu Anzheng, who was no longer asking much about things, and asked him to be there to observe. After all, he himself is not very good at military affairs, and Wu Anzheng, an old soldier, is listening to it on the side, which makes Li Bao feel much more confident. With so many people in a meeting, even if there is a problem, it is easy to negotiate and solve it.

Everyone had arrived, and Li Bao announced the opening of the meeting. First of all, in order to show respect, Li Bao expressed his greetings to Wu Anzheng, and then began to get down to business.

Wu Anzheng is getting older now, and he doesn't go out much all day long, but several of his students have become middle-level officers in the Weizhou army.

With the expansion of Li Bao's group, Wu Anzheng's status will also rise, so Li Bao's courtesy to him is also to enhance the cohesion within the Weizhou Military Group.

"The content of today's military affairs meeting is mainly the issue of the reorganization of our new army in Weizhou. Now that the four counties of Weizhou are complete, the scope of state governance has been expanded accordingly, but the military strength of our Weizhou New Army is a bit stretched, so you may wish to talk about it here. ”

At the beginning of the establishment of the Weizhou New Army, there were only 1,200 soldiers, but now the four counties are complete, and the defense of each county must be deployed. In particular, Weiyuan County and Yan County are border, and they are under the front of the Tubo people all day long.

It is necessary to garrison heavy troops in Weiyuan County and Yanxian County, but the strength of the Weizhou New Army is even more ineffective as soon as it is separated, and the Tubo people have always been strong in battle. A Dongdai support regiment (infantry thousand-man detachment) can toughen thousands of Tang troops.

"I think that the king must not be so pessimistic, the cement invented by the king has now begun to be used, the effect is very good, and the repair progress of the city gate tower in Weiyuan County is very fast. As long as our cement can be produced continuously, the urban defense of these two counties will definitely not be a weak link, and the Tubo people have always been weak in attacking the city. Zhang Chengye said excitedly.

Zhang Chengye is a civil affairs official, so he naturally wants to hold his money tight. Listening to Li Bao's meaning, he has a plan to expand the army, but now Weizhou is in ruins in all aspects, and there are new Weiyuan counties and Yan counties that need to be invested.

Zhang Qingping glanced at Zhang Chengye, his face was expressionless, and he just glanced at Zhou Rui. The latter understood and immediately spoke: "What Vice Ambassador Zhang said is naturally right, but we cannot be satisfied with the status quo. After all, the Tubo people occupy a lot of our territory, and our combat strength has increased, so naturally we want to recover more land for the Tang Dynasty. ”

Zhou Rui's words were a bit ruthless, Zhang Chengye immediately became angry when he heard it, he snorted angrily, slapped the table with his big hand, and stood up. Pointing at Zhou Rui, he said, "You bastard, who is not a good man?" ”

Zhou Rui sneered and was about to fight back. I only heard Wu Anzheng speak: "Zhou Rui must not be rude, and he still does not apologize to Deputy Ambassador Zhang?" ”

As soon as Zhou Rui heard Wu Anzheng speak, how dare he disobey, his master was solemn, never smiling, and was very strict with his senior brothers, even the youngest Zhang Qingping was often punished by Wu Anzheng, without any mercy.

Zhou Rui didn't dare to slack off, he immediately said to Zhang Chengye: "Fang Caimou said the wrong thing, offended Vice Ambassador Zhang, and invited Vice Ambassador Zhang Haihan." ”

Zhang Chengye snorted, ignoring Zhou Rui, he just sat down and stopped making a sound. Now in the Weizhou Army, Wu Anzheng, Zhang Qingping, Zhou Rui, Qian De'an and Xiahou Haoyue are all a family, and they have completely controlled the Weizhou New Army.

He, a eunuch in charge of civil affairs, was pointed at his nose and scolded for not being a man. No one can bear such humiliation, but what can he do?

Moreover, Wu Anzheng and others are all old acquaintances and friends of Li Bao, and he Zhang Chengye is just a eunuch who is not favored by the Imperial Palace. Although he has the trust of King Ji, his status is far from being comparable to them. So people are under the eaves, so they have to bow their heads first.

Li Bao saw the current situation, and he immediately saw the problem, Zhang Chengye and Zhang Qingping didn't deal with each other very much, this was the big problem.

So Li Bao spoke again: "Zhou Ruimu has no respect for his elders, and he will commit the following crimes to warn others." He went to the artillery battalion to command the envoy and was demoted to the post of judge of the Weizhou regimental training envoy. ”

After Li Bao finished speaking, not only Zhang Qingping and the others were frightened by the angry Zhang Chengye, and Li Bao's order stripped Zhou Rui of his military position and changed him to a civil affairs official.

Zhou Rui immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Bao and Zhang Chengye, and he kowtowed and begged for mercy. But since Li Bao saw the problem here, he had to guard against it.

Now it is good to transfer Zhou Rui to a civilian position, which can not only balance the military and political affairs of Weizhou, but also ensure that military power is not centralized. As for Zhou Rui's vacant military position, Li Bao still has someone to fill in now.

Li Bao looked at Zhou Rui, who was kowtowing, and said to him: "Everyone in our Weizhou army is a whole who shares honor and disgrace, but you don't know the severity of it, and you speak wildly, I do this to warn and warn others, and the second is to punish you, okay, I don't want to, no matter how much you beg for mercy, you can't change my decision." Get up, let's get on with the meeting. ”

After returning to Weizhou, Li Bao immediately went to Zhang Qingping's regimental training embassy to once again convene a high-level military affairs meeting of Weizhou military and political officials, this time to discuss the reorganization of the Weizhou New Army.

Zhang Qingping returned to Weizhou because of his injury, and the defense of Yan County and Weiyuan County was handed over to Xiahou Haoyue and Ouyang Hui for the time being.

The two have a friendship from their youth, but this behavior must be ......
