Section I

The cold winter wind swept by, and above the wolf's tent, the wolf's head sewn with fur swayed with the wind, and the wind whimpered, more like a wolf's horn. Deng Ge and Zhu Lei glanced at each other, and both saw the uneasiness in each other's eyes, and the two snorted coldly, opened the curtain and walked in.

The symbol of the lord of China and the West is the wolf tent, when Liao Sheng was in the past, this wolf tent has long lost its deterrent significance, and now the wolf tent has changed hands, and it can no longer be ignored.

Wu Minggao was in the main seat, flipping through a book on the table, Shang Yukun and Jian Feiyang were one article and one martial arts, and they were on the left and right. Below, eight guards in soapy clothes and fast boots, with long swords in their hands, were divided into murderous columns, and the two of them were in a cold mood at the same time, and hurriedly stepped forward, half-kneeling on the ground and said: "The governor is on the top, and the last general will be polite." ”

Wu Ming continued to roll over his hands, without raising his head, but said, "The two governors are here?" Come on, give the two governors a seat. ”

He ordered, and two guards had already stepped forward and brought chairs for the two of them. The two of them sat down on the left and right, only to feel like sitting on pins and needles, and the person was uncomfortable, although the chair was wide and flat, and there would never be a burr on the chair surface.

Wu Ming was still flipping through the book, frowning from time to time. He read very slowly, page by page, and there were words in his mouth. The new governor likes to read, and he can't let go of the book. The two of them sat with their buttocks in tow, and their moods rose and fell with the chatter in Wu Ming's mouth.

Besieging Tingya, they did have the intention of fishing in troubled waters. Xilie personally led an army of 5,000 troops, and promised in the letter that Wu Ming would definitely be captured, and other people's words could not be heard, but Xilie, the marshal of the country, could not slander people indiscriminately. What's more, Wu Ming was made by him several times. In this case, everyone will start to think differently. And the respect for the Chinese and Western governors in front of them, the two of them are also limited. Once he falls, it is customary for the imperial court to elect another governor from among the local governors. The governor of the ten roads of China and the West, there are still six people in office, Tengge and Ramadan were left by Liao Qing in the poor mountains and rivers of Panchuan, after Wu Ming took over the west, they refused to accept the canonization of the Southern Han Dynasty, and did not recognize their governorship, almost no different from independence, and Diou was far away in Shuanghui. After all, only Miki, who previously supported Liao Gang and later switched to Wu Ming, was the most threatening.

But Miki is not simple, he and Jian Feiyang are wrapped together, and he still has tens of thousands of elite horses in the Southern Han Dynasty in his hands. The strength of these tens of thousands of cavalry, Jiang Huan poured the power of China and the West before, but he could not defeat it, so the two of them were ambitious, but to deal with this group of tiger and wolf divisions, they were a little drumming. I don't want to take the lead and make a wedding dress for others.

Until Wu Ming returned safely.

Wu Ming was not only unharmed, but even Xilie was beaten half to death, which was even more unexpected. Seeing each other summoning each other, but they didn't say anything, after a long time, the two not only sat still, but also felt a little like a man.

The book was very thin, not so much a book, but a booklet, although Wu Ming turned it slowly, but it didn't take long, he still finished it, he let out a sigh of relief, and said: "It's really full of drawbacks." ”

What does this mean? As he let out a long breath, the hearts of the two people below were relieved, but as soon as they heard this, they raised it again. Wu Ming closed the book and said slowly: "The two governors, this seat is in a sad and angry mood, so much so that I am sluggish, and I hope to forgive me." ”

Zhu Lei has an upright temperament, and before he could speak, Deng Ge had already taken the lead in patting his ass, and said flatteringly: "I don't know what the governor is worried about, maybe his subordinates can share their worries." ”

Wu Ming smiled: "This is not busy first, the two governors will take a look at this booklet first." As he spoke, he waved his hand, and one of the guards stepped forward, picked up the booklet on the table, and handed it to Dunger. Dunge took it and flipped it over casually, with some disapproval on his face. This is a roster of the names of all the serving soldiers in China and the West. Wu Ming took a sip of tea from the cup next to him, and said slowly: "I don't know how Deng Du feels after reading this book?" ”

Deng Ge closed the book, still with a smile on his face: "My subordinates are stupid, I really don't know what the disadvantages of this book are, and I hope the governor will teach me." ”

Wu Ming stretched out his middle finger and shook it: "Deng Du is wrong, it is not the book that has the shortcomings, but the people recorded in the book." ”

Seeing that the two of them were still at a loss, Wu Ming no longer detoured, and explained: "The Chinese and Western military systems have many drawbacks, and the two governors must be clear, our Chinese and Western governors of the Ten Roads Province, one tribal leader will occupy one. This is actually nothing, but it is not in line with the imperial court system, and there is that the chief is a centurion above, a centurion is a thousand-division commander, and the highest is a thousand-captain. This statistical method is simple. But the span is too big. Especially in the area of the commander of the thousand commanders to the commander of ten thousand commanders, the gap is really huge, and there is no connection in the middle, and it is inevitable that the military order will not be smooth, which is not seen in peacetime, but once it is in wartime, it is very easy to make mistakes. ”

This is almost the original words that Yang Yi suggested to him before, and Wu Mingxi went to Persia and also considered this matter. Now that they have their hands free, there are even two people in their hands, saying that they must carry out the reform of the military system in order to achieve the goal of weakening local forces and strengthening the military strength of China and the West.

Sure enough, it came, it was a soft knife. The two secretly said that it was not good, Zhu Lei had a straight personality, and couldn't help but sneer: "I don't know what kind of reform method the governor is going to make?" ”

Speaking of which, we must first see how Wu Ming reforms, if it is just to change the system, the soldiers and horses under his command will not change, and the soup will not be changed, then even if it is to give face to this governor, it is okay. But if you really move something that shouldn't be moved, the two tribes each have hundreds of thousands of people, and they are not vegetarians.

Wu Ming pointed to the roster in Deng Ge's hand, and said slowly: "Zhu Du must not be impatient, the so-called reform is actually not only military, because the situation in China and the West is special, it can also be called a political matter. He cleared his throat and continued, "First of all, we should get rid of the chaff." Chinese and Western soldiers, each ministry recruits on its own, the members are too complicated, and then issued a unified order by the wolf tent, the production and issuance of military cards, where there are military cards, is the soldiers recognized by the imperial court, the military cards are equivalent to identity, all the military cards will be recorded in the wolf tent. ”

Deng Ge interrupted Wu Ming's words and pointed to the point: "I don't know how many military cards the governor is going to issue in China and the West, and what are the military cards occupied by my department?" ”

The so-called soldier card is actually the strength of the army. Only when there are soldiers can they have power, and only when they speak can they have a hard waist, everyone understands this truth. If Wu Ming took this opportunity to weaken Deng Ge's troops, he Deng Ge would not sell it, no matter how nice he said it. Wu Ming glanced at the two of them, and said slowly: "This seat is preliminarily set, the permanent strength of the entire Central and Western countries is 150,000, and the military cards issued by the wolf tent to the two governors are preliminarily set at 20,000, I don't know if the two governors are satisfied?" ”

With 150,000 to 40,000, the combined strength of the two men accounted for nearly one-third of the Chinese and Western forces. When Deng Ge heard this, he immediately smiled: "The arrangement of the governor's seat is reasonable, and he takes care of his subordinates, so naturally he has no opinions." ”

Wu Ming looked at Zhu Lei: "What did Zhu Dudu say?" ”

Although Zhu Lei is straight, he is not stupid, and he said angrily when he heard the words: "I have no opinion." ”

In fact, the purpose of the two of them agreeing to Wu Ming was to take a fancy to 20,000 soldiers, and with the cards, there would be 20,000 legitimate soldiers, and it would be justified to do anything. Only by surrendering to the identity of the general can it be truly whitewashed. As for troop limitations? In the eyes of the two, there is no such thing at all. Chinese and Western herdsmen are horse athletes, if there is a real need, all the people are soldiers, as long as there are horses are cavalry, it is possible to pull hundreds of thousands of people. Seeing that both of them agreed, Wu Ming showed a smile on his face: "Well, since both of you have agreed, this plan has been decided." Since they are all soldiers of our Chinese and Western countries, then the soldiers under the two governors' accounts must abide by our Chinese and Western military covenants, and the wolf tent will uniformly pay military salaries and subsidies, enjoy a qiē wartime pension, and abide by the relevant regulations of the wolf tent. ”

And so much mess? Deng Ge faintly felt a little uneasy, but thinking that there was still a military salary to be paid, and he didn't pay for it himself anyway, so he didn't think much about it, but just said: "As soon as the governor said, it will be according to the governor." ”

Wu Ming had a smile on his face: "Then, the first point has been determined, let's determine the second point." ”

And the second point? The two sat up straight, holding their breath. Seeing that the two of them had entered the state, Wu Ming nodded secretly: "The second point?" It is a unified military system, and the wolf tent formulates relevant ranks, as well as a promotion system, to facilitate operations, and unified command. ”

Seeing that Wu Ming really summoned the two of them to discuss the matter, and did not ask the teacher to ask for the guilt, Zhu Lei was also eager in his heart, and said busily: "I don't know how the governor is going to restructure?" ”

Wu Ming stood up: "First of all, we must unify the title, and only when we reach the relevant positions can we lead the people who meet the identity." Preliminary provisions were made for the army to be a squad of 10 people, with the leader of the squad leader. Five squads form a brigade, and its leader is called the captain. The five brigades were formed into a battalion, and their leader was called the captain. Five battalions of 1,000 people are a regiment, and the leader is called the captain. Five regiments of 5,000 people, the leader of which is called General Lang. Lang generals and above are generals, and the number of generals is not limited, subject to the appointment of the imperial court. ”

In the wolf tent of China and the West, Wu Ming has the right to open the government, and has the right to directly appoint and dismiss officials below the fifth grade. Therefore, he can only appoint Lang General, and if he goes up, he must report to the imperial court. But this is enough, as long as the military orders are unified and the military orders are interconnected, many follow-up means can be carried out.

Speaking of this, Wu Ming smiled and said: "The two governors are both generals who have been canonized by the imperial court, so it is not a problem to command 20,000 people. ”

Such a change is indeed like a look. In fact, the two of them are not stupid, and they can understand Wu Ming's purpose after thinking about it a little. The composition of the Chinese and Western armies was mixed, and the military orders were chaotic in the past, which was indeed quite restrictive. Nowadays, the military ranks are clear, and once it is time of war, even if they were not subordinate to each other before, they can ensure that the upper and lower levels are respected and inferior, and the purpose of being the same order can be achieved. The addition of a transitional general commanding 5,000 men can ensure that when the large army fights, military orders are issued layer by layer, and it is not easy to make mistakes. There will no longer be the embarrassment of a commander commanding ten commanders, resulting in the disadvantage of being difficult to control.

There was no actual conflict, and the two of them would not find fault, so they got up and saluted, and said in unison: "One qiē obeys the orders of the governor." ”

Wu Ming stretched out his hand and motioned for the two to sit down, and his face became stern: "Then, let's talk about the last point, I hope the two governors will cooperate." ”
