Chen Dao did not discuss with Su Hao about the Kanyu camp at the wine table, and after the banquet, he asked Su Hao to retreat, and then he told Su Hao and Pan about Wang Yiyu's thoughts. After the two discussed behind closed doors for half an hour, Su Hao sent Chen Dao out with a smile on his face, ordered someone to send Chen Dao to the guest room to rest, and then called Xu Guangzu, Deng Kui and others to the lobby for discussion.

"What's the matter, it's all negotiated with Chen Langzhong?" Xu Guangzu looked at Su Hao's expression and asked with a smile.

"It's all settled." Su Hao replied.

"So, did he agree to the cost of equipping our battalion with firearms?" Deng Kui asked anxiously.

Su Hao said: "Deng Zhongjun, we are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty, we should share our worries for the country, what else do you want to talk about?" ”

"Uh......" Deng Kui was speechless, he was stunned for a moment before he asked timidly: "Su Shoubei, what did you call me just now?" ”

"Deng Zhongjun." Su Hao said, "We have been reorganized into a battalion, and there is a general in the battalion, so naturally it is just a mere subordinate." There is another Chinese army, except for Lao Deng, who else is suitable? ”

"Thank you for your support!" Deng Kui was not stupid, knowing that he had been promoted by half a level this time, he quickly knelt on one knee and hugged his fists to thank Su Hao.

Zhang Yunlong saw that Su Hao had made Deng Kui an official, and his eyes also shone brightly. Su Hao looked at Zhang Yunlong, smiled, and asked Deng Kui: "Deng Zhongjun, following the old example of Qi Junmen in Jizhen, our battalion is divided into three parts, each with a total of 1,000, how do you think these 3 thousand generals should be selected?" ”

Deng Kui pointed at Zhang Yunlong and said, "What is there to discuss, Lao Zhang must be a thousand presidents, write his name first." ”

Zhang Yunlong hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The last general is just a hundred households, how can he take on this big responsibility." ”

Su Hao smiled: "Don't pretend to be Lao Zhang, I see that you were at the banquet just now, you were thinking about this Qianzong, right?" I promised you that I would give you at least one deputy thousand households within half a year, and now I will give you a thousand totals, and it will be quite quite. ”

Zhang Yunlong looked embarrassed and said sneeringly: "This ...... It's been less than half a year, and besides, after the last general arrives at the survey camp, he hasn't made an inch, how can he receive this reward. ”

Su Hao knew that he was duplicitous, so he didn't say much, but just took out a document of confession from President Qian, wrote Zhang Yunlong's name with a pen, and then handed it to him, saying: "Now is the time to employ people, just do everything with power." You said that you haven't made an inch, so write down this matter first, and make a few more great contributions in the future, at least you have to be worthy of this confession, right? ”

Zhang Yunlong hurriedly took the farewell, bowed to Su Hao, and said in his mouth: "The last general thanked the guard." The garrison is assured, and the last general will definitely go to the soup in the future to repay the kindness of the garrison. ”

"Get up." Su Hao said, "In the future, we will all be the decision-makers of the public opinion camp, so we don't have to be so polite in private, you are tired, and I feel tired." ”

"Hey, hey." Deng Kui and Zhang Yunlong looked at each other and smiled, both having some high-spirited feelings.

"Zhang Yunlong, your part is temporarily called the spear department, using bows and arrows and spears as weapons. You are strong in martial arts, and it is just right to lead this one. Su Hao explained.

Zhang Yunlong hesitated for a moment and asked, "Garrison, do you mean that my soldiers are not equipped with firearms?" ”

Su Hao said: "Some of them are distributed, but they are mainly spears. The manufacture of firearms is not so fast, and it will take some days for the whole battalion to be equipped with firearms, so you will use cold weapons first. ”

"Order!" Zhang Yunlong no longer insisted, although he was quite fascinated by the firearms used in the survey camp, he also knew that Su Hao's arrangement was correct. There must always be a sequence in the armament of firearms, and it is more appropriate for him to bring a department with cold weapons first.

"Our second department is the Surveying and Mapping Department, which is mainly responsible for surveying and mapping tasks. Su Hao asked everyone.

Deng Kui thought for a while and said: "I think He Bencheng is more suitable, he acts steadily, his skills are good, and when he was in Banzhou, he lived and died with the garrison, and his loyalty can be trusted." ”

"I also think this young man is more suitable." Xu Guangzu also echoed, "To say, his qualifications are a bit insufficient, but we are also promoted now, and there is no other suitable person, so we can only let him do it." If he is found to be incompetent in the future, it is not too late to replace him. ”

"Alright then, call him." Su Hao said.

Deng Kui gave an order to the guards outside the door, and the guards flew away to find He Bencheng. Hearing that the Lord was summoning, He Bencheng didn't dare to slack off, ran to the lobby in three steps and two steps, and saluted Su Hao when he entered the door: "Su Qianhu, are you looking for me?" ”

Su Hao said with a smile: "Lao He, correct you, the Ministry of War has just issued an order, our survey battalion has been upgraded to a battalion barracks, and the whole battalion has a full quota of 2,700 people, and the general has been promoted to garrison." ”

"Oh? Then congratulations to the garrison on his promotion! He Bencheng was overjoyed and bowed again. He now has a hundred-household title, so he can call himself the last general. When he heard that his commander had been promoted, he was sincerely happy.

Su Hao thanked He Bencheng for his congratulations, and then said: "Old He, after our survey camp is upgraded, it will be divided into three departments, each with about 900 people. This first part is the spear department, and I have appointed Zhang Baihu as the thousand general manager of the spear department. The second part is the Surveying and Mapping Department, which is the old business of our surveying and mapping camp, and now it will be a little difficult to let anyone be the president of the Surveying and Mapping Department. You are also the old man of our survey camp, can you recommend one to Ben General? ”

"Of course it's Deputy Deng Qianhu!" He Bencheng pointed at Deng Kui without hesitation and said.

Su Hao said with a smile: "Deputy Deng Qianhu has been appointed by me as a lieutenant officer, and he is the deputy general of the battalion, so the Surveying and Mapping Department needs to find another Qianhu." ”

"This ......" He Bencheng patted his head, "If you don't let Lu Hu be, I'm afraid I won't be able to convince the public, right?" Can you invite Ma Xiucai or Jiang Xiucai back to be the president of Qian, they are very familiar with surveying and mapping. ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Su Hao said, "Ma Xiucai and Jiang Xiucai are all scholars, and they will enter the court as civil officials in the future, how can they come to the camp to be a thousand presidents?" As for Lu Hu, he also has some credit, but in his opinion, it seems that he is not as suitable as the other person......

"Who?" He Bencheng asked subconsciously.

"You!" Su Hao pointed at He Bencheng and said.

"Me?" He Bencheng was stunned, and then waved his hand again and again: "What can I do, the last general will be this hundred households, or the garrison is high, and now I want to be a ...... When Mr. Qian, how can my family's ancestral tomb have such an aura. ”

"Haha, Lao He, the guards all said that you can do it, what else do you refuse. When you were in Banshu, you shared hardships with the garrison, and if you don't give you the position of this thousand generals, who else can you give it? Deng Kui said with a smile.

"Not really." He Bencheng replied seriously, "I know this little bit at the end." If a surveying and mapping department of these 900 people is handed over to the last general, the last general is afraid that he will not be able to eat and sleep steadily. Garrison, you might as well choose someone else. ”

Su Hao said: "The officials of the world are also done by the people of the world, and no one is born to be an official." However, He Bencheng, you are indeed a little shallow, and you are a little reluctant to take on this heavy responsibility. In this way, you will first take the position of President Qian, if there is a more suitable candidate in the future, I will replace you and become a president, what do you think? ”

"I'll just be a boss now." He Bencheng said, "This Qianzong position...... I'm a little scared when I think about it. ”

"But what I lack now is Mr. Qian." Su Hao said, "Even if it's to catch ducks on the shelves, you have to give me a top here first." In this way, I will lend Zhou Juren to you as a military advisor, this old master is not pedantic, he is well versed in human feelings, and with him to assist you, your pressure will be much less. Besides, the Surveying and Mapping Department is the old foundation of the survey camp, and everyone is familiar with it, so it will not be difficult to manage. ”

"That'...... The last general commanded. He Bencheng accepted the appointment half-pushed and half-on-the-spot, feeling both apprehensive and a little excited. Who doesn't want to be an official, since there is such a good opportunity to fall on their heads, even if they are demoted to the general manager for a period of time, it is worth it.

"The last one is the firearms department." Su Hao continued, "Who will be the right person for this president of the firearms department?" ”

"The musket team of the Kanyu Battalion is captained by the third child of the Xiong family, or let him be the general manager of the firearms department?" Deng Kui said with some uncertainty.

"Xiong Minyang is more than smart, but not stable enough, it's too early to be a thousand presidents." Su Hao commented.

"Then there's no right person." Deng Kui scratched his ears and cheeks, "Why don't we find a Qian Zong from elsewhere, Lao Zhang, you are familiar with people in Huai'anwei, is there anyone you know who can handle the heavy responsibility?" ”

Zhang Yunlong shook his head: "I really can't think of who is suitable." There are not many soldiers in Huai'anwei who can read and hyphenate, and the thousand general managers of the firearms department can't find a big boss to be the boss. ”

Su Hao turned his gaze around the room, and finally fell on Xu Guangzu. He looked at Xu Guangzu three ways up and down three ways, and looked at the old soldier who had always been very arrogant.

"What do you mean, Su Gaizhi, you don't want the old man and me to be the head of the thousand, right?" Xu Guangzu asked.

Su Hao smiled: "Uncle Xu, do you think I have someone at hand who is more suitable for this Qianzong than you?" ”

Xu Guangzu said: "What are you kidding, old man, I am just a big-headed soldier, and I have never even been the flag chief, how can I be the president of Qian." Besides, if the old man wanted to be the president of Qian, he would have been 20 years ago, and he would have waited until now? ”

"That's not it." Su Hao caught Xu Guangzu's language disease, "This shows that you don't want to be the president of Qian, but you don't want to be the president of the thousand." Uncle Xu, I understand your indifferent pursuit of fame and fortune, but now the younger generation is indeed in difficulty, can you see death and not save it? Think about it, since you came to Huai'an Mansion, have I begged you to do anything? I'm sorry for you, what don't you have? I serve you with good wine and food every day, and you refuse to help you with this little help? ”

"This, this, this...... Are you lying to the old man? Xu Guangzu was stunned by Su Hao's count, "When you invited the old man to come to Huai'an, you didn't say that you wanted the old man to be the president of Qian. ”

"No one asked me to be a guard at that time." Su Hao said confidently.

"What kind of fallacy is this?" Xu Guangzu was laughed at by Su Hao.

Su Hao picked up the confession document, and without saying a word, he wrote Xu Guangzu's name, then slapped it on the table and said, "Uncle Xu, this president of the firearms department, you should be appropriate, and you should be appropriate." If you don't do it, I will cut off your food and drink from now on, and let you nibble on the vegetables. Actually, it's okay for you to be the general manager of the Qian, I promoted the third child of the Xiong family to the general manager, and he is responsible for the daily training affairs of the firearms department. Shouldn't you do such a good thing? ”

"Well, the old man is afraid of you. Let's talk about it, when you think there is a suitable person, the old man will hand over the power. Also, if there is going to be a war, the old man doesn't care about going to the front line, and the old man still wants to keep a few more jars of wine. Xu Guangzu put on a helpless look and accepted the appointment.

Su Hao asked Xu Guangzu to be the president of Qian, and there was indeed no way. Speaking of which, Xu Guangzu has absolutely rich experience in managing troops and training soldiers, and there is no problem in being a thousand generals, the only obstacle is that he is a little older and can't withstand a long march and fight.

The survey camp will continue to stay in Huai'an for a period of time in the future, and there are not many opportunities to march and fight, so take advantage of this time to let Xu Guangzu exert some residual heat and help Su Hao overcome the current shortage of officers.

Su Hao also believes that Xu Guangzu will not refuse this appointment, and his interest in firearms is no less than Su Hao.

"Okay, now that our three thousand generals are in place, the next step is to quickly recruit troops and enrich the soldiers. In addition, I will write back immediately, and ask Hao Qing and Xu Guangqi to hurry up the production and send the first batch of flintlock pistols and grenades as soon as possible. Su Hao said.
