Hou Xiaoqi came back to report to Qian Yuanshan when he didn't go long, saying that Gao Gui was not lightly injured this time. Originally, with a noble physique, even if he was kicked by Qian Yuanshan, it would not be a big problem - after all, Qian Yuanshan's kick was not really hard kicked, otherwise Gao Gui would have died a long time ago. But the problem is that Gao Gui had been kneeling outside Qian Yuanshan's house for a day before he was kicked, neither eating nor drinking, plus it was a cold day at this time, before Qian Yuanshan kicked him, he was already in a state of semi-prostration, and it is estimated that if Qian Yuanshan came back half an hour late, he would pass out without kicking this guy. was kicked by a master like Qian Yuanshan in such a physical state, and the result can be imagined. According to Lang Zhong of the infirmary, Gao Gui suffered from severe cold and internal injuries this time, and it is estimated that he will have to nurse for a month before he can walk on the ground.

After listening to Hou Xiaoqi's report, Qian Yuanshan was silent for a long time, and then said: "Xiaoqi, you go and tell Lang Zhong, let them take care of Camp Commander Gao, what medicine should be used, don't be afraid of costing money." In addition, you go and talk to Liu Xiaoliu and Liu Commander of the Second Regiment about the situation just now. You tell Regiment Commander Liu that although Gao Gui violated the order of the fifth brother, he remembered that he had made some contributions to the 'Flying Dragon Army', and he was seriously injured by the master and me at this time, and he was also punished, and he did not need to be held accountable for violating the military order. ”

Speaking of this, Qian Yuanshan paused for a moment, and continued: "During the period when Battalion Commander Gao was recuperating from his injury, his position was temporarily replaced by the deputy battalion commander, and after he recovered from his injury, he continued to be his battalion commander. ”

After speaking, Qian Yuanshan waved his hand and asked Hou Xiaoqi to go down to pass the word, while he himself calmed down and carefully considered how he should explain his views and suggestions to the participants at the enlarged meeting of the committee the next day - after all, the noble matter can only be regarded as an episode before the meeting began, and Qian Yuanshan's attention was still on the next day's meeting.

The noble plea was kicked and injured for Qian Yuanshan, and it had no effect on the other traversers who participated in the enlarged meeting of the committee-most people didn't know that there was such a thing, and those who knew didn't take it seriously. In everyone's eyes, a battalion commander who was kicked and injured by Qian Yuanshan was far less important than the upcoming meeting. Therefore, on the morning of the 13th lunar month of the seventh year of the Ying calendar (January 5, 958 AD), when they arrived at the place where the meeting was held, the headquarters of the "Flying Dragon Army" (formerly the "Flying Dragon Village" Gathering Hall), they discussed with each other the topic of what kind of rectification plan for the "Flying Dragon Army" would be proposed by the committee and the military department at the meeting to be held, and none of them mentioned the noble man who was still lying on the bed in the infirmary.

The enlarged meeting of the Committee, which was still chaired by Zhang Weixin, opened the meeting after counting the names of the participants.

The first item on the agenda of the meeting was for Zeng Zhilin to report to the participants on the situation of exterminating pirates on behalf of the "1,000-man anti-bandit team." The difference in combat effectiveness and weapons between the two sides determined that this was a battle without any suspense, so Zeng Zhilin told the battle process very briefly, and the interest of the brothers in listening to his report was not high. After Zeng Zhilin finished reporting on the results of the battle and his own casualties, the agenda of this meeting was over.

In contrast to the simple, light-hearted nature of the first agenda, the second agenda of the meeting, by Huang Hai on behalf of all the team members who had gone through the Broadcom rebellion, was much more complex and heavy.

However, this is also the proper implication of the question, and although the Yellow Sea submitted the relevant report to the Committee after the rebellion was quelled, it was normal procedure to explain the situation to the Committee and to the enlarged meeting of the Committee in person. Therefore, Huang Hai did not show any disgust, but stood up and told the whole story of the rebellion in detail, including his subsequent resettlement of the rescued woman and her family, and his preparation for the transfer of the woman's brother from the "Tanggu Salt Farm" prisoner camp to the "Pirate Shore Lair" prisoner camp. After Huang Hai finished speaking, Zeng Zhilin also gave a general account of what he saw after he led his infantry to the pirate lair, and the confessions he received when he and Huang Hai interrogated the captured Gao Jing, Shen Chong and others.

Bringing together the accounts of the two men, the rest of the participants were able to figure out the details of the rebellion. Although the participants had already learned about the general situation of the rebellion through various channels, and knew that no traveler was injured or killed in the rebellion, when they heard Huang Hai, a person who witnessed the rebellion, tell how the incident happened, they could still feel the tension of the situation at that time and the dangerous situation faced by Huang Hai and others. This made them think about how to avoid a similar situation in the future - after all, no one could guarantee that the next time someone planned to rebel, there would be a spy from Darkfeather among the people involved in the conspiracy. ,

The reflections of the brothers in the congregation naturally led to the third topic of today's meeting -- how to carry out the necessary reforms of the "Flying Dragon Army" to avoid similar rebellions.

The participants had a heated discussion on this topic and put forward their own opinions and views. It has been suggested that a supervising army should be set up in the regimental, battalion, and higher corps and division-level establishments that may emerge in the future; It has been suggested that "dark feather" spies should be inserted in the company and above establishments; It is also suggested that those who have military experience and are willing to join the army should be arranged into the "Flying Dragon Army", and they should serve as commanders at all levels.

For these suggestions, the participants supported and opposed. When the brothers were talking, Qian Yuanshan stood up from his seat, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and said: "After listening to the suggestions put forward by the brothers just now, brother, I have some ideas, and I ask you brothers to refer to them in detail." ”

As one of the actual commanders of the "Flying Dragon Army", Qian Yuanshan was a professional soldier before and after the crossing, so his suggestions were naturally authoritative and professional enough. So, after he said he wanted to speak, the other participants stopped the discussion and listened to his opinion, and the room gradually fell silent.

After the meeting room was completely quiet, Qian Yuanshan cleared his throat and said, "First of all, brother, I would like to share some thoughts on the suggestions made by other brothers.

Just now, a brother said that we can organize the brothers in our team who have served in the army in their previous lives, or who have no military experience before, but are interested in the military, and arrange all of them into the 'Flying Dragon Army' to act as commanders at all levels, so that we can control the team more quickly.

It is true that having your brother in control of the troops is the safest and safest way, but given the current composition of the team, this is not possible.

You must know that although there are more than a dozen of our brothers who have served as soldiers before the crossing, most of them are professional jishu soldiers, and the only ones who have really led soldiers in the field army are the starling, the old twenty-four, the twenty-five, the twenty-sixth, and the brother I-The old twenty-six worked in the special police unit on the front line of the armed police before the crossing, and after the crossing, he has been serving in the 'Flying Dragon Army', and his ability to lead the troops is no worse than that of a few of us who were born in the field army. In addition, although the old twelve was a naval officer before the crossing, he still had an understanding of leading soldiers, and he could be counted as one. The Feiyu brothers served as soldiers in the Southern Tang Army after crossing over, and they can also be counted as one.

In this way, among the forty people in our team, only seven of us have experience. This is basically the composition of the current 'Flying Dragon Army' forward command, but the starling can't participate in the work of the headquarters because he is in Kaifeng. Judging from the current situation, the only troops that the six of us can directly control are one regiment and one battalion, and they are only controlled at the battalion level, which is far from the goal of controlling to the company level.

Of course, brother, when I say this, it's not that I don't believe that other brothers who served in the army before the crossing will also have the ability to lead troops, but now there is only about a year left before the time of Chai Rong's Northern Expedition, which Seventh Brother has been emphasizing, and those brothers who have not led soldiers no longer have enough time to familiarize themselves with the business and accumulate combat experience.

What's more, just as far as the current establishment of the 'Flying Dragon Army' is concerned, there are already six battalions and eighteen companies of combat units. After the end of this round of expansion, it will increase to nine battalions and 27 companies. If you follow the brother's suggestion, I'm afraid that all the members of the team will not be enough.

Besides, if all the brothers join the 'Flying Dragon Army' to lead the troops, who will be responsible for the economic development and production construction of the team. If we do not develop the economy, we will have no funds, and if we do not engage in production and construction, we will have no weapons. And without funds and weapons, what can we use to raise the 'Flying Dragon Army' and what to use to equip the 'Flying Dragon Army'?

Therefore, the desire to arrange all our brothers to the 'Flying Dragon Army' to be commanders at all levels and control the troops is haode, but this desire is not feasible at all. ”
