The information of the capital was continuously sent to Xiangyang, although it was thousands of miles away, Li Rupei still had all the information in the capital.

It is said that there is such an abnormal movement in the capital, especially when Zheng Zheng was beheaded and the emperor was controlled, Li Rupei should have sent troops to the capital to arrest Tian Lingzi and others, and purge the government and the opposition, but he would not do this.

Up to now, Li Rupei's mind has been very clear, that is, to ascend to the throne of the Tang Dynasty and begin to truly control the world of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Rupei is not a philanthropist, he knows very well that the struggle for power means blood, there is not so much warmth, and after tearing off his face, it is bloody calculations and slaughter.

The Iron Blood Army has just taken control of Jiannan Road, the social situation in this place is very complicated, even more complicated than Huainan Road, and Xichuan has always been a rich place, with complex terrain, it can gather its own strength, Cui Anqian and Chen Jingxuan are in charge here, Cui Anqian's role is to make Xichuan rich and strong, Chen Jingxuan's role is to build Xichuan into his own small kingdom, so it takes a lot of effort to really govern Jiannan Road.

Cui Anqian personally went to Chengdu and returned to the old place to govern, the affairs of the Southern Dao Daxingtai Mansion can only be personally responsible for Li Rupei, this is no way to do it, after the iron-blooded army took Jiannan Dao, many Jiedu envoys of Qianzhong Dao and Lingnan Dao have sent people to Xiangyang to put forward the requirements of attaching to the Daxingtai Mansion of Nanfang Dao, Li Rupei did not agree to these requests for the time being.

Li Rupei has governed the south according to his own requirements, especially in the construction of the army, and his requirements are very clear: the Shannan East Province, Shannan West Road, Huainan Province, Jiangnan East Province, and Jiangnan West Province controlled by the Iron and Blood Army will never allow the existence of other armies, and no envoy will be allowed to touch the army, let alone have its own army, and the places actually controlled by the Southern Dao Daxingtai Prefecture will never be allowed. The policy is a mold, there is no special situation, but in terms of taxation, according to the actual situation in various places, to be determined, and this year's tax collection task is not very heavy, the people in all places have been exempted from paying taxes for three years, which can allow the people to really recuperate. Urge the South to become rich as soon as possible.

Li Rupei has never been greedy for foreigners, what he needs to do is to take one step at a time, lay a good foundation, and when his strength is unprecedentedly strong, it is a natural thing to enter the capital Chang'an.

The Iron Blood Army has expanded to 150,000 people, which is enough to be proud of the Tang Dynasty, even the imperial court cannot control so many troops, although the imperial court claims to be able to control an army of millions, but it is a pity that these so-called armies. Hardly anyone would obey the orders of the imperial court, such as the Predators.

Yan Fu returned to Xiangyang, reported on the matter of the capital, and learned that Zheng Zheng had not left the capital. Li Rupei sighed, he knew that it was difficult for Zheng Zheng to save his life, and once Tian Lingzi learned that Chen Jingxuan was captured alive and Xichuan and Dongchuan were controlled by the Iron Army, he must not be able to control his emotions. Will do whatever it takes.

Li Rupei's prediction was confirmed in a very short period of time, and everything that happened before the main hall of Zichen Palace. Including the details, Li Rupei quickly knew.

After Yan Fu returned to Xiangyang, Li Rupei had a special conversation with him, and found that Yan Fu was already familiar with the handling of political affairs, and it was not very suitable to return to the iron-blooded army, so he started to play to the imperial court and recommended Yan Fu to serve as the envoy of the Dongchuan Festival, of course, Li Rupei would not wait for the emperor's holy decree, nor did he expect to wait for the holy decree, he let Yan Fu rest for two days, and then set off to Dongchuan.

As for the candidate for the envoy of the Xichuan Festival, it is Cui Anqian who is currently in charge, and the situation in Xichuan is very complicated, and only if Cui Anqian goes there can he be managed in a short time.

At the same time, Li Rupei put forward requirements to Gao Chibang and others, and the iron-blooded army was expanded to 200,000 people, and this level will be maintained in the future.

How to arrange Zheng Ningji and Zheng Shaoyu, Li Rupei is quite troublesome.

Why did Zheng Zheng stay in the capital Chang'an and was unwilling to come to Xiangyang, Li Rupei was able to analyze part of the psychology, the most critical of which may involve Zheng Ningji and Zheng Shaoyu, Zheng Zheng hoped to make his own contributions, so that Li Rupei could better arrange the two, this kind of calf protection psychology, any parent exists.

After the news of Zheng Jin's brutal killing by Tian Lingzi reached Xiangyang, Zheng Ningji and Zheng Shaoyu wept bitterly, and even came to the palace to meet Li Rupei, imploring Li Rupei to avenge Zheng Jin.

After careful and careful consideration, Li Rupei made arrangements for Zheng Ningji and Zheng Shaoyu.

Zheng Ningji used to be the household servant of the imperial court, and after coming to Xiangyang, he was still engaged in his old business, and entered the Southern Dao Daxingtai Mansion to assist Kan Zeyu in managing the household department and business affairs, as for Zheng Shaoyu, he was a little young, and went directly to the county to which Xiangyang belonged to serve as the county minister, starting from the bottom, if he really has the ability and shows his ability, he can be promoted soon.

Gao Chibang, Huang Biao, Song Hu and others entered the Daxingtai Mansion, and when they saw Li Rupei, their expressions were very respectful.

The battle of Weicheng was won because of Li Rupei's accurate deployment, and if it was according to everyone's previous ideas, taking advantage of Chen Jingxuan's departure from Chengdu, to occupy Chengdu, it would become a protracted battle.

After the iron-blooded army captured Chen Jingxuan alive, Xie Yuxin, who surrounded Chengdu, soon received a letter of surrender from the Chengdu defenders, and occupied Chengdu bloodlessly and controlled the entire Xichuan.

Many battles have made everyone obey Li Rupei and worship him.

"You are here, and I want to talk to you about the adjustment of the iron-blooded officer system today."

Gao Chibang and the others did not sit down, and Li Rupei did not ask everyone to sit down, he had already thought about adjusting the official system of the Iron and Blood Army, and removing the so-called positions of supervising the army, as well as the official titles involved in the position of eunuchs, so that the army needs officers who can fight and are good at commanding to sit in charge, and people who are not familiar with it cannot meddle in the affairs of the army.

"A certain idea, the Iron and Blood Army set up a marshal, a general, ten generals, and set up adjutant generals, staff generals, captains, captains, captains, captains, fire chiefs, etc., and the rest of the middle positions are all removed, which is also conducive to the integration of the Iron and Blood Army, according to the establishment of the Iron and Blood Army, the 200,000 army is divided into ten parts, each general has 20,000 people, the deputy general and the staff general assist the general in command, and the rest of the captains, captains, team leaders and fire commanders, and the number of sergeants under his command does not change."

"Gao Chibang served as the general of the Iron and Blood Army, and Huang Biao, Song Hu, Zhao Laibao, Xie Yuxin, Zhu Wen, Qian Mu, Yang Xingmi, Cui Yanchong, Qin Erhei, Lu Shengan and other ten people served as the generals of the Iron and Blood Army.

"The garrisons of the iron-blooded army, according to the original plan, are stationed in Xiangyang, Liangzhou, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hongzhou, Chengdu and Zizhou, among which Xiangyang, Chengdu and Yangzhou need to be deployed in key areas."

"The officers and men of the Iron and Blood Army stationed in the local area are never allowed to meddle in local affairs, and the local officials are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Blood Army stationed in the subway.

"You remember one thing, a professional sergeant is a professional soldier, don't think about what to do as a civil official, in the eyes of a certain person, there is a strict distinction between civil and military officials, over the years, a certain has rarely drawn officers from the iron-blooded army to serve as local officials, including officials in the Daxingtai Mansion, you can also see it, I hope you can adapt, no, you must adapt to such rules."

"After the expansion of the iron-blooded army to 200,000 people, the establishment will be completely fixed, and basically no changes will be made in the future, the Tang Dynasty is still very unstable, the iron-blooded army has not yet completely consolidated and pacified the south, the situation in Dongchuan and Xichuan is very complicated, I am afraid it will take about a year to be able to basically stabilize, as for the Qianzhong Road and Lingnan Road, a certain or that opinion, wait until Xichuan and Dongchuan are completely stabilized, and then consider, these two places will not be able to have any army in the future."

"Someone made a suggestion to a certain person, saying that the power of the Southern Dao Daxing Taifu is strong enough to march into the north, on the surface this is good, but the actual situation is not so, although the situation in the capital has undergone many changes, but it is always stable, at this time the iron-blooded army sent troops, what is the reason, is it really called a rebellion by the government and the opposition, so such suggestions, a certain will not want to hear in the future."

"The capital can't be stable for a long time, maybe a year, maybe two years, there will definitely be huge fluctuations, within this time, what the Southern Dao Daxingtai Government needs to do is to bury its head in governing the place, bury its head in training the iron-blooded soldiers, and make all the preparations.

"The importance of the Iron Army, I don't want to say more, you are all clear, taking advantage of the time to rebuild the Iron Army, some words are said first, several of you have been following a certain for a long time, from the day the Iron Blood Army started, the military discipline and military regulations of the Iron Army, the courage of the Iron Army, so many victories, full of your hard work, but if someone wants to lie on the merit book, think about the mountain, pull the sect, think about expanding their own power, you will not be polite, no matter what your identity is, no matter how much credit you have, A certain will be severely punished. ”……

Watching Gao Chibang and the others leave carefully, Li Rupei breathed a sigh of relief, with the expansion of the territory, with the growth of the iron-blooded army, more rules need to come out, just rely on personal ability to govern such a large territory, so many people, it is impossible, only the system can really restrain people.
