"Remedy, it's hard to recover when it's covered with water, how can it be remedied?" Zhou Gui's eyes widened, and he shook his head and said.

"Old man, don't know what to do, since Grandpa Guo has an idea, you should listen to it." Guo Yunlong said angrily.

Old man Zhou Gui also had a bullish temper, shaking his head like a rattle.

"Killing people to pay off debts and paying off debts, robbing the old man's daughter, ruining his innocence, can this matter pass casually? I heard that the grandfather of the country is a loyal minister and a good person, so he risked his life to avenge his grievances. ”

"Sue the royal court, think beautifully!" Gao Hongtu also stood up suddenly, and said loudly: "The merit is higher than the rescue, these brothers all carried the prince to Nanjing, and dared to sue the emperor, that is looking for death!" ”

When the old man Zhou Gui heard this, he immediately burst into tears and cried bitterly.

"Hard-working girl, Dad can't help you avenge your grievances, Dad has no face to see people!" The old man was about to hit the wall as he spoke, but the people on the side hurriedly grabbed him.

The scene was a little out of control, Gu Zhenhua also waved his hand, asking everyone else to retreat, and only him and Zhou Guiye were left in the military tent.

"Old gentleman, don't get excited, Ann ** is a scum, Ben Jue is not polite. It's just that this kind of thing is different from anything else, and Ling Ai is still in the world, even if Ben Jue kills these people, Ling Ai's innocence will not come back, and the happiness of the second half of his life will be a problem. ”

Zhou Dakui's brain turned quite quickly, grabbed his father, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa Guo is very right, but how to redeem it, please make it clear?" ”

Gu Zhenhua thought for a while and said, "That's it, you and I are willing, so I simply matched them." ”

"That's not possible, our family is a pure white family, and we will never marry a soldier!" The old man's words startled the two sons, and he hurriedly covered the old man's mouth.

"Grandpa Guo, my father is old and talking nonsense. Don't blame him, we apologize to you! ”

The two men lay on the ground, kowtowing with a bang.

Gu Zhenhua waved his hand: "Mr. Zhou, those who corrupt military discipline will not want An **, and they will all be expelled from An ** from now on." But these brothers were born and died with me, and I promised not to treat them badly, and now I am fulfilling my promise. 1,000 taels of silver per person, 500 acres of land, and a head of a 100-acre man who has killed a Tartar. Ge Tao killed two Tartars, and he could get 1,000 taels of silver and 700 acres of land. Wherever he goes, he can be regarded as a small landlord, and Ling Ai will follow him, and he will not be wronged. ”

Listening to Gu Zhenhua's words, Da Kui and Er Kui's eyes lit up, they have both money and land, this is not a small hand. The two of them grabbed Daddy's arm and shook it incessantly, hoping that he would agree immediately.

"Grandpa Guo, this, this is not good to say! What do people think of our Zhou family, give some money, and sell the girl? ”

Gu Zhenhua thought for a while, and then said: "Old man, if this is not the case, Benjue asked the emperor for a will, and said that he would help the meritorious minister to complete the marriage, and Benjue himself would be the matchmaker, and give all the veterans who are willing to get married to preside over the wedding together, do you think it's okay?" ”

"Alright, alright!" Da Kui and Er Kui agreed without a word, the emperor issued an order, and the prince was the matchmaker, what a big face, what else to disagree with.

Zhou Gui was still hesitant, sighed and said: "The old man wants to meet his daughter first and discuss with her." ”

Gu Zhenhua nodded without hesitation, and immediately arranged for Zhou Gui and them to see their daughter.

Beat Zhou Gui away, footsteps sounded outside, Li Xu, Guo Yunlong, Gao Hongtu and they all walked in.

"I have persuaded Zhou Laohan to agree to the family affair, which can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness. However, Ge Tao and the others can't stay in An** anymore and must be fired. ”

"Guogong, if you can get married, this is a great thing, why expel them, besides, Ge Tao and the others are all first-class warriors. After this time, I am afraid that I will be more grateful for the kindness of the national prince and work hard. Guo Yunlong couldn't help but persuade.

Gu Zhenhua snorted: "If you let it go gently, wouldn't you encourage them to do this, and others will follow the same example and rob the people's girls everywhere, is this still the army!" ”

Gu Zhenhua said, slapping the table fiercely: "I just had a competition today, and the veteran lost to the recruit, why, it's because the recruit knows discipline and can make a fist." On the other hand, as for our veterans, many of them are self-assured of their hard work and high achievements, so they act recklessly and treat military discipline as nothing, so how can we confront the Manchus? ”

Gu Zhenhua's sharp eyes swept over everyone present, Guo Yunlong, Gao Hongtu and the others unconsciously lowered their heads, and their faces turned red.

"This is just an opportunity, and Ann ** wants to completely rectify. Everyone went back and said to the veterans, I care about someone and they are suffering together, and we are still brothers and friends. But military discipline is ruthless, and if you continue to indulge them, that is, dig a grave for An **. The old and weak in the army must be dismissed, those who ignore military discipline must be dismissed, those who do not want to fight, and those who want to be disarmed and returned to the field must also be dismissed. I will give each person a thousand taels of silver, 500 acres of fertile land, and live a peaceful and stable life. Those who stay are promoted to the next level, but there is one point, no matter how much they dare to violate military discipline, this lord will not forgive any of them, they should be beaten hard, and they should be killed and beheaded, do you all understand? ”

"Understood!"

Gu Zhenhua is usually very easy-going, but when he really lowered his face and his voice was very powerful, it was also extremely terrifying. The big guy can only obey his orders, and he doesn't dare to have any dissatisfaction.

The fiasco of the competition suppressed the momentum of the veterans, and there was another robbery of the people's daughters, and they couldn't refute it, so they could only listen to the arrangement honestly.

But fortunately, Gu Zhenhua's conditions were too generous, and some people who had been soldiers at the border for more than ten years were all tempted.

For three whole days, the veterans were extremely depressed, and whether to go or not to go became the most tangled question for everyone.

In the middle of the night, someone suddenly sat in front of the bed, and tears kept rolling down. Looking at the person next to him, he was not asleep at all, and there was a wet piece next to his pillow.

"Lao Hu, I remember that the two of us joined the army for a year, right?"

Hu Shan nodded: "It's all the eighth year of Chongzhen, but in the second year, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and looted, and when we were patrolling, we happened to bump into the Tartars." He was killed by the Tartars and bled like a river, do you remember the tall man, he was hacked to death by several Tartars with random knives, and the corpse was trampled by the horse's hooves! ”

Fei Bin smiled bitterly and said, "Hey, it's all over, I'm relieved!" ”

"Hmph, you're just a deserter, and you don't even want to take revenge?"

Fei Bin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Lao Hu, it's okay for you to say anything, I'm really tired of it." I really want to thank the lord for giving him a chance to be a coward. ”

"If you're like this, it's a waste to stay!"

Hu Shan was not polite at all, but tears welled up in his eyes, and he couldn't help but say: "Brother, if I die one day, remember to burn paper for me, and when you get there, you can't run out of money." ”

"Don't worry, I'll burn some for you in advance when I go back, and store it there."

"Get out!"

……

After three days of careful investigation, during the time Gu Zhenhua left, there were more than 200 people who violated military discipline, and all of them were dismissed without hesitation. There are also more than 500 veterans who are reluctant to do it and want to be disarmed and returned to the field.

Gu Zhenhua did what he said, gave them all the silver and land, and properly arranged his future life. In addition, there are more than 300 people who are injured, and they are no longer suitable for fighting on the front line, and all of them are arranged to the logistics team, some are in charge of horse farms, some are in charge of convoys, and some are in charge of procurement, in short, they have their own place.

The original most difficult reorganization work became extremely smooth in Gu Zhenhua's hands.

"Sir, the villain can't stand your old man, if you have a next life, I will definitely be a good soldier for you!" Ge Tao knelt in front of the camp gate and kowtowed goodbye.

"You don't need to live in the next life, treat that girl well, give birth to a baby early, send it to An**, kill the enemy and serve the country."

"Yes!" Ge Tao kowtowed excitedly, and his head was red and swollen.

Although Gu Zhenhua did not hesitate to expel these veterans, he still had a deep affection for everyone, and specially issued an official document to let all localities help settle the veterans. Gu Zhenhua was in the middle of the day, no one dared to refute his face, and the veterans walked with peace of mind.

After sending away these problem veterans with poor minds, only about 3,000 remained, although the number was smaller, but the morale of the army was more cohesive, and the combat effectiveness was slightly affected, but it would soon be restored.

Moreover, the factor of instability has been eliminated, and Gu Zhenhua's control of the army has reached an unprecedented level, and he has truly achieved the command of his arm and obeys his orders.

Gu Zhenhua immediately reorganized the veterans, and only five battalions were retained, including three cavalry battalions and two infantry battalions. There is no doubt that cavalry is the essence of the whole army, and each of them is a veteran of the Guanning Army. In terms of the configuration of weapons, Gu Zhenhua also hollowed out his thoughts, and he was more inclined to learn from the experience of the Polish hussars.

Don't look at the frequent partitions of the Poles, they also have a glorious history, the once powerful hussars are the symbol of Poland, not only defeated the Grand Duchy of Moscow, but also defeated the Tatars, with a brilliant record.

Poland is sandwiched between the East and the West, and the hussars also take into account the style of the East and the West, have strong combat effectiveness, and have defeated the armies of the East and the West at the same time, and it is because of this that it has become Gu Zhenhua's choice. As the trump card power of An**, it is just the right time to fight to the death with the Eight Banners Iron Horse!

However, to equip a hussar, it is necessary to create lighter armor, sabers, and cavalry-friendly handcuffs and pistols, which requires the deployment of its own military industry.

Gu Zhenhua gathered excellent craftsmen from the north and south, as well as Tang Ruowang and others to help, but he searched for Xuzhou, but there was no safe, hidden, and rich in iron ore and other raw materials production place. Gu Zhenhua was also a little worried, and he immediately found Li Jibo to discuss.

"It's not difficult, although Xuzhou is a good place, but it is not suitable for garrisons, and there are many merchants coming and going from the south to the north. Any secret weapon produced will be discovered by the enemy, and Xuzhou is easy to attack and difficult to defend. Our movement is too big, and it will be dangerous to attract the Tartars to the south. It is better to leave only the partial division guards, and the main force should advance to the Central Plains. ”

"Hahaha, I also have this idea, it's just just been reorganized, and I'm worried that the strength is insufficient."

"The old man has an idea, I don't know if the lord wants to hear it?"
