After staring at it for a long time, Wang Xu asked unhurriedly: "Gao Shun, what is the current number of troops and the training situation?" ”

Hearing this, Gao Shun, who had been sitting silently without squinting, finally turned around and arched his hand: "Return to the lord!" After the conscription order was issued independently, the conscription progressed rapidly, and all the soldiers of Guiyang County were transferred to our Quanling. Therefore, with the addition of middle and low-level generals, there are currently a total of 21,462 people. The training is good, it's just that the weapons and armor have not kept up. ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Wang Xu suddenly turned his head and looked at Wang Fei on the side of the civil official and said, "Second brother, what are the difficulties in the production of military uniforms?" ”

"There are indeed difficulties, one is the lack of manpower, and the other is that the iron ore and other materials cannot keep up, so the time is delayed."

After speaking, Wang Fei's voice changed, and he immediately continued: "However, the current situation has improved, not only has a large number of people been recruited, but all of them are produced on the assembly line, and some tools have been improved, and the speed of building has been greatly accelerated. ”

"That's fine." Hearing this, Wang Xu also breathed a sigh of relief. If there are soldiers but no equipment, it is a real headache.

After pondering for a long time, he slowly spoke again: "This time, Your Majesty asked me to be the governor of the military administration of the four counties of Jingnan and allow the opening of the mansion, hoping that I can concentrate the power of Jingnan and use it to deter all parts of the country in case of emergency. Therefore, from now on, the more than 20,000 main county soldiers were all separated from the original establishment and merged into the name of General Zhennan. At the same time, according to the practice of the opening of the government, the number of soldiers should be redivided. ”

Regarding Wang Xu's words, everyone in the hall had no opinion, and they all nodded in agreement. After all, opening a mansion is a gift in itself, and it would be a sin if you don't make full use of it. Moreover, at present, there are more than 20,000 soldiers in Lingling County, but the largest commander is only one captain, and there are two captains, according to the general military establishment, it is obviously not suitable.

Seeing this, Wang Xu didn't talk much nonsense, and immediately asked the generals: "Everyone, then now you are faced with a choice, if you want to be incorporated into my name with the soldiers, then it means that you will have nothing to do with the imperial court, and you will not even have a military status, and become my retainers and generals." Would you like to? ”

In fact, this is just a scene, every general in the army is Wang Xu's cronies, how can there be any reason not to follow.

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, everyone already bowed their hands in unison: "The last general swears to follow the general!" ”

"Good!" Although he already knew, Wang Xu was still very happy to hear them say this in person. "Since everyone is willing to follow me, then from this meeting, you will leave the military and officially join the name of General Zhennan."

"No!" The generals did not hesitate, and before Wang Xu finished speaking, he had already responded in unison.

Hearing this, Wang Xu was no longer verbose, glanced at everyone with a sharp gaze, and said sharply: "From now on, my Wang Xu's next part will have its own unique arrangement." Five people are a team, and there is a captain. Ten people are one tithe, and the chief is set. Fifty people are in a team, and there is a Dub. 100 people are a tun, and a tun chief is set up. Five hundred people are a song, and there are military marquis, and the deputy position is a false waiting. Thousands of people are a department, with a military Sima and a fake Sima as a deputy. 5,000 people are a school, with a school captain and a deputy lieutenant. 10,000 people are an army, with a lieutenant general, and a deputy is a fake lieutenant general. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Xu paused slightly, and waited for Wang Kai next to him to write down all these words before he continued: "In the future, the maximum military unit will be 10,000 people, and it will also be used as a training unit on weekdays. The number of troops in wartime is decided according to actual needs, for example, Gao Shun is a lieutenant general, but when you go on an expedition, it is very likely that you will command 20,000 people, or even more. Do you understand? ”

"I'll understand!" The generals immediately replied in unison.

Hearing this, Wang Xu couldn't help but nodded, and immediately smiled: "Okay, then from now on, appoint Gao Shun as the Zhonglang general, and Guan Hai as the fake Zhonglang general." He was transferred to the Lingling County soldier Cao Peng Wang Fei as the Zhonglang general, and Han Meng as the fake Zhonglang general. Xu Sheng was promoted to Zhonglang General, and Zhang Jing was a fake Zhonglang General. The former Lingling County Gong Cao Peng Zhou Zhi was reappointed as the school captain, and Yang Feng and Song Qian were also temporarily school captains. ”

After speaking, he paused, and before the surprised people reacted, Wang Xu had already answered: "In addition, the special troops that Zhonglang will have are still five hundred, and the fake Zhonglang will be the same as the captain, three hundred." Do you have any objections? ”

The words fell, but there was no sound in the council hall for a long time. Except for Tian Feng, Zhou Zhi, and Zhang Jing, no one expected Wang Xu to make such a big move. And this move is obviously to expand the army again, because according to Wang Xu's establishment, the current strength only needs to set up two armies is enough.

After a while, Xu Sheng said with some hesitation: "Lord, what do you mean, but you want to continue to expand the army?" ”

"Not bad!"

"This ......" said, Xu Sheng looked at Wang Xu, but hesitated, but finally couldn't help but admonish: "Lord, is this inappropriate?" If there is another large-scale expansion of the army, the two counties of Lingling and Guiyang will bear it, I am afraid it will be a little difficult! ”

"Huh! This time, it was the four counties of Jingnan that undertook it. Of course, Wang Xu knew that Xu Sheng was for his own good, so he didn't mind, and even opened his mouth to explain: "In the future, Changsha and Wuling must reduce all the rest of the soldiers except for retaining the basic defense forces. All the elite troops in the four counties of Jingnan must be concentrated here, and no matter what accidents occur in the future, I, the general of Zhennan, will send troops to pacify them, so it is inevitable that the army will need to be expanded. ”

With his words, what was unexpected was that not only Xu Sheng stopped making a sound, but even the civil officials on the right echoed it.

"This is good, and the concentration of troops can not only deter all localities, but also reduce a lot of unnecessary consumption of money and food." Huan Jie was the first to speak in favor.

"Hmmm! I also agree, and General Wang, the governor of Jingnan Military Administration, should naturally be centralized, otherwise how can all parties be suppressed. Liu Xian also followed and said.

"Yes! By doing this, the lord can make the four counties condense into a rope as quickly as possible. After all, since the abolition of the post of state pastor, Taishou has always been directly responsible to the imperial court, and it is inevitable that he will be unwilling at this moment, and he must strictly control it. The public enemy also sighed.

"Well, that's a very ...... statement."

"I think it should be like this......

As everyone discussed, the hall was a little noisy for a while, Wang Xu couldn't help waving his hand and stopped: "Okay, everyone, in short, this matter is settled." And it is imperative that Wuling and Changsha complete disarmament within two months. ”

After speaking, Wang Xu stopped talking about it, turned his head to look at Gong Qiu and said: "Wen Liang, you are now engaged in soldiers, and the matter of recruiting soldiers again in the four counties of Jingnan will be handed over to you, and this time I will expand to 50,000 people in one fell swoop." But also remember that it is better to be lacking than excessive, and to be strong. Because this army will be the most important and the only military force of scale in the entire Jingnan. ”

"Don't worry! Xia Guan understood. The public enemy immediately replied solemnly.

Wang Xu was also very relieved about the ability of the public enemy, so he didn't say much, and immediately turned around to look at the general on the left: "As far as I know, the maximum capacity of the Lingling military camp is fifteen thousand people. After the expansion of the army, set up a garrison outside the Lingling City, in the future Lingling only garrisoned 10,000 people, the rest of the people and horses are all tuned to the fortress, the choice of specific location, the first strategic advantage, followed by fast and convenient. ”

"No!"

Seeing the orders of the generals, Wang Xu smiled slightly, but then he thought that the generals in the army would be very inadequate in the future, and immediately couldn't help but remind: "Everyone, you must also pay more attention to the non-commissioned officers and generals under your command in the future, if you find that the talent can not be suppressed, you must report it to me, after the expansion of the army, there will be a great shortage of generals." You know? ”

Speaking of this, Wang Xu suddenly remembered Zhou Chao and Guo Shi, and without waiting for the generals to answer, he already answered: "By the way, how have Zhou Chao and Guo Shi been doing recently?" ”

"It's very good, the two of them have good martial arts, and their conduct is also good, and they are quite good at leading soldiers, so they can be promoted. The Zhou Dynasty, in particular, was sometimes very able to make some good points. Gao Shun immediately took over the conversation, because Zhou Chao and Guo Shi were given to him by Wang Xu himself.

Hearing this, Wang Xu thought about it for a while, and then nodded in agreement. "Hmmm! Well, let's temporarily promote them to military commanders, and serve under your subordinates! ”

"Nuo" Gao complied, and was about to turn around, but suddenly remembered something, and immediately continued: "That's right, lord!" This time, the Guiyang Jingzhuang Mansion soldiers were brought over, but two talents were found, and their martial arts were good. ”

"Oh? What is your name? Hearing that there was a talent, Wang Xu suddenly became interested.

"The two are under the age of twenty, but they are quite brave, one is called Chen Ying, and the other is called Bao Long, and they are both chiefs at present. In the last military competition, almost no ordinary generals were their opponents. ”

Wang Xu didn't listen to the next words, but the two names turned in his mind for a long time, and he was vaguely aware of it. I remembered the books I had read, and after a while, I remembered who these two people were.

Aren't Chen Ying and Bao Long from Guiyang County two of the Five Tigers of Jingnan in Romance? It's just that the two of them met Zhao Yun, and not only were their plans to surrender discovered, but they were both killed.

I didn't expect there to be such two people, and listening to Gao Shun's evaluation, it was very good. However, Wang Xu is not interested in this kind of talent, unless they can completely change their fate because of the change of environment, otherwise they are just third-rate characters.

Immediately, he couldn't help laughing: "Hehe! Since you have a good evaluation of them, let's temporarily promote them to the head of the tun to take a look! If you have made meritorious service in the future and can really lead the troops, you will be promoted. ”

"No!" Hearing this, Gao Shun nodded, but didn't say anything more.

Seeing that the main things had been arranged, Wang Xu took a deep breath, then looked at Guo Jia, who had been sitting in a remote corner, and said with a smile: "Everyone, I already introduced Guo Fengxiao to you last night. It's just that I'm too busy with business, so I can't let you talk to each other. But Fengxiao is indeed a rare genius in the world, but the experience is not enough now, and everyone will have to communicate more in the future. ”

Although everyone knew that Wang Xu had a tricky eye, they still had some doubts when they looked at Guo Jia's too young face. I obviously don't agree with the use of a rare genius in the world to describe it.

Seeing this, Wang Xu didn't care, anyway, Guo Jia would soon prove it, and it would be useless to say too much. smiled, and then turned his head to look at Tian Feng: "Yuan Hao, Guo Jia is here, I want him to come to you to practice first, how about it?" ”

"Of course it's good!" Tian Feng suddenly gripped his beard and smiled.

"Good! Now that everything has been decided, there is no need to waste time, and you must be in a hurry to complete the handover, handle various affairs, and form new subordinate officials. If I don't think there's anything going on, that's it for today! ”

After speaking, Wang Xu waited for a while, and saw that everyone really didn't mean to speak again, so he smiled slightly: "Okay!" After the meeting, you should quickly take care of your own affairs, and be sure to complete all the handovers and reorganizations within seven days, so that you can get on the right track. ”

"No!" With his words, a loud voice suddenly resounded in the council room.

Hearing this, Wang Xu stopped procrastinating and stood up suddenly. Said to Wang Kai, who was not far away: "Big brother, you quickly arrange for people to cast a new official seal, and write all my current appointments, as well as the disarmament of Sun Jian and Cao Yin, into an example, and convey it to every place in the four counties as quickly as possible." ”

"No!" Wang Kai nodded.

"Also, you quickly draft a decree for me, asking Sun Jian and Cao Yin to hand over half of the money, grain and materials currently stored in the government treasury for unified dispatch by the general's mansion. At the same time, half of the income earned in each future quarter will also be paid. However, before this order could be reached, a special person had to be sent to conduct a surprise raid on the two counties, and it was important to obtain the most accurate numbers. Moreover, in the future, if there is more than 500,000 yuan in the two counties, it must be submitted to the General's Office for approval! ”

With this series of decisive orders, except for Tian Feng, all the civil officials were wide-eyed and didn't react for a long time.

However, Wang Xu didn't care so much, smiled slightly, and strode towards the outside of the conference hall.

By the time everyone came back to their senses, they had already lost sight of people......
