Chapter 203 Ownership of Rights

Next to the Chengbei military camp, there is a house that is tightly guarded by three floors inside and three layers outside. Since the Sui army took Liaodong City, this mansion has become the headquarters of the Sui army.

The outermost layer of the whole mansion is a row of mobile sentry posts of the police department, followed by a hundred patrol light cavalry, a hundred heavy infantry inside, and a full hundred gendarmerie troops in the house.

It can be said that the defense of the supreme headquarters of the Liaodong Sui Army is not leaky, even if a fly wants to fly in, it must first check the male and female. Especially at this moment, the already heavily defended house has raised the entire alert to the highest level, and the large battalion is on duty, the headquarters guard unit, the police department, the gendarmerie department, and the marshal guard, and one by one the troops are on standby.

In the mansion at this moment, all the officers above the regimental level in the entire Liaodong Army are all here, and more than 100 high-ranking officers in the Northeast Army are gathered together, with stars shining on their shoulders, and the lowest rank is also the rank of three-star colonel of brass and silver.

The hall of the mansion is also the military justice hall of the Northeast Army, and the Sui army and the people of the entire Liaodong have been full of speculation and imagination about this military hall. Legend has long been that the fist-sized pearl of the military chamber is a lamp, the floor is paved with gold, and even the walls are inlaid with various precious stones. The cushions of every general who went in to participate in the military council were all the skins of lions, tigers, bears and leopards, and the cushions of the handsome were a precious white tiger skin.

In fact, except for a few regiment commanders who came for the first time, all the senior officers of the Northeast Army only smiled lightly at this rumor.

If you want to describe the entire military chamber, it is a word wide and magnificent, about 30 steps long and about 13 steps wide. The hall is wide and bright, and the hall is full of light, and it can accommodate three or four hundred people at a time.

There was no decoration in the hall, except for the bright marble floor, which was flanked by four small rows. At the top of the position, it was the handsome seat of the handsome, and there was indeed a huge white tiger skin at the banquet, but it was not a mat, but a white tiger screen was made, and the back of the handsome seat was erected.

Every time I walked into this hall, my mood was jī moving. It's as if this hall has a unique flavor, it's a taste of right.

Anyone who can enter the hall represents their status as a senior general in the Northeast Army.

The lowest, and only generals with the rank of colonel can enter.

Whenever Chen Kefu entered this room, his heart beat even stronger, and this room was actually the brain and heart of the entire Liaodong Sui people. Every major decision of the Sui army left behind was basically issued from here.

He decided the fate of 80,000 Sui troops and nearly 400,000 Great Sui people, and now, we have to add tens of thousands of Goguryeo captives who were captured in Liaodong and hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo prisoners. It is even related to the future of the two major tribes of Khitan and Han Ju!

As soon as he entered the hall, everyone's eyes were on Chen Kefu.

Under the seat in front of the white tiger screen that had been walking, Chen Kefu smiled at everyone.

Today's meeting is very important, and everyone knows that in the next stage, all the important decisions of the Sui army left behind will be decided today.

In addition to a group of generals with shiny epaulettes, many new faces have been added to today's meeting. This time, the entire Northeast Army not only won a big victory, but also plundered many rich people with money and food. And one of the biggest gains was the rescue of 8,000 veterans who were captured during the Second Expedition to Liao from the hands of the Goguryeo.

The captured veterans at the time of the Second Expedition were basically the most elite government soldiers of the Great Sui. 8,000 soldiers and horses, in the end, they were all deceived by Lian Kefu and left in the army. Eight thousand veterans, among which the proportion of officers is very high, but most of them are middle and low-level officers, and there are very few senior generals.

Among the captured officers, there was one general of the fourth rank, none from the fourth rank, thirteen generals of the fifth rank, and eighteen from the fifth rank. There are more than 100 lieutenant-level officers in the sixth grade, and there are nearly 200 people from the sixth grade, in fact, there are five or six hundred low-level officers from the seventh rank to the ninth grade, and among all the generals who rescued the prisoners, there are actually a small number of sailor generals.

During the Second Expedition to Liao, the lost army was nearly 400,000 people, and 780,000 were captured in the end, and among these 780,000 people, most of the officers at all levels were well-armored, and many had war horses, so many escaped, but the proportion of dead in battle was lower than that of the soldiers. It can be said that of the 70,000 or 80,000 people who were finally captured, the proportion of officers accounted for nearly one-fifth. ,

In today's military meeting, among the 8,000 prisoners, there are 32 generals from the fifth rank and above, including Yu Qinming, Li Chengyi, the three brothers, Zhou Jin, and others. In addition to them, there are also several regimental commanders who have been promoted on the battlefield.

Among the armor of Yishui, there are more than ten people dressed in Confucian robes. These more than ten people, the old ones are over sixty, full of silver hair, and the light menstrual ones are all forty or fifty years old. All of them are characterized by elegance and bookish atmosphere. These are Mao Bo and others from Chenjiazhuang, who participated in an important military conference of the Northeast Army as non-military personnel for the first time. Most of them were from the East Palace of the Prince of Nanchen back then, and a few were former ministers of other departments in the Nanchen Dynasty.

For them to appear here, Mao Yi, Lu Shishen, Chen Qing and other generals who followed Chen Kefu out of Chenjiazhuang were naturally very happy. In their opinion, the general is going to restore the country, and for such a major event, of course, the old ministers and subordinates of such a handsome old minister as Chenjiazhuang have to do their best to assist.

Although Li Benlei, Hu Hai and other generals felt that it was a little inappropriate for the marshal to let a few old family members participate in such a military meeting, they did not say anything. Only Li Jie and a few of his subordinates saw all this in their eyes, and there was some dissatisfaction in their eyes. Chen Kefu did this, obviously because he wanted to be nepotistic. He has been squeezed out and suppressed by Chen Kefu before, from a third-in-command in the army, to a logistics chief who has no soldiers in his hands.

can be seen as it is now, Chen Kefu still has no room for him, and plans to directly use his family to replace him in charge of logistics and internal affairs. Some hatefully clenched their fists in their sleeves, but there was no way to change them.

Chen Kefu sat under the top white tiger screen, which was not only the top, but also a small high platform, which was several steps higher than the other positions, and was more majestic.

In the first column on the left side of his head, there is the white-haired veteran General Li Benlei, followed by Mao Yi, Lu Shishen, Hu Hai and other veterans who broke the military camp. The officer in the second column on the left hand hand hand was Li Jie, a white-faced subordinate, and sitting next to him were six of his subordinates, followed by the rest of the regimental officers in the army.

In the first column on Chen Kefu's right, there was Mao Bo, who was sitting at the meeting for the first time, and below him were seventeen former ministers of the Southern Dynasty who came from Chenjiazhuang who were also in Confucian robes. Behind are some masters and logistics generals in the army's logistics auxiliary battalion.

The second column on the right hand is the veteran generals who have just been rescued, headed by Yu Qinming, followed by 32 generals such as Li Chengyi, Li Chengli, Li Chengzhi, and Zhou Jin.

Ranking Seats!

China has been a country of etiquette since ancient times, and it is a nation with strict hierarchies, and this seat is very particular about all important formal occasions and informal occasions. Which person sits in which position, this is quite particular, and there is no confusion at all.

At present, in the entire military conference hall, Chen Kefu is at the top, and his unique position also shows that he is the first among the Sui people in Liaodong. Emperor Tiangao is far away, except for the Great Sui Emperor who is far away in the Central Plains, and now Liaodong, Chen Kefu is the king, and he can have two in one.

And except for him, the entire military chamber was divided into four, four columns on the left and right.

On the left-hand column, that is the veteran of the broken military camp, and it is also the general who holds the actual military power in the entire Liaodong Sui army. Li Benlei, Mao Yi, Lu Shishen, Hu Hai, Liu Tiezhu, Zhang He, Chen Gui, Shen Guang, and Chen Qing all have generals on their shoulders, either division commanders or deputy division commanders, all of whom are senior generals in the army who have commanded more than 10,000 troops.

In the second column on the left, Li Jie and others who ostensibly held important positions in the army, from the chief of staff of the Northeast Army to the chiefs of staff of various divisions, basically Li Jie and several of his henchmen rounded up the positions of chiefs of staff at all levels from the army to the division. It's a pity that they don't have any real power in this seemingly important position, and they can't manage a single soldier. It's completely a group of mud bodhisattvas who have been erected. On the contrary, the officers who were at the head of the same column were all actual officers who commanded thousands of troops.

On the first column on the right hand are the people from Chen Jiazhuang who came to participate in the military discussion for the first time, and on the surface their identities are Chen Kefu's housekeepers and other family members. But in fact, everyone also knows that since Chen Kefu, the owner of Chenjiazhuang, is the son of the crown prince of Nanchen, then these so-called housekeepers, village heads and the like must also be old ministers of the Southern Dynasty. Especially the temperament of these people, Li Jie and others can see at a glance that these people must be well-educated people who have read the scriptures and books.

And the people below them are all craftsmen and logistics officials in the army, and a discerning person can know at a glance that such an arrangement must mean that in the future, the internal affairs and logistics of the Sui army in Liaodong have all been in their hands.

The thirty-two generals in the second column on the right hand are all captured generals of the Sui army who have just been rescued. Although their level was not low in the past, at least they were from the fifth rank position, but now, they can only be the group of people with the most rights in the entire hall, like Li Jie and others.

The four columns on the left and right suddenly clearly divided the entire Liaodong Sui army.

The civil and military lineage was clearly shown in front of everyone. And if nothing else, everyone knows that such a ranking will inevitably represent the rights of the generals of the entire Liaodong Sui Army in the future.
