Li Yanben didn't have the luxury of hoping to be in charge of the military again, but when he heard Du Yinxi say this, he was naturally more grateful, and he looked forward to the next cooperation with Du Yinxi.

That night, Li Yan didn't care about resting, and began to discuss with Du Yinxi the determination of the official positions and powers of the generals of the various departments of the Chuang Army.

Zhu Youzhen gave Du Yinxi a lot of privileges, basically the official positions of the generals of the various departments of the Chuang Army were directly decided by him, and even how to defend the Huguang territory against the Qing army's Azig Department to the south was completely up to him.

And Plug Yinxi handed all this over to Li Yan, Li Yan is well versed in the reality of the invasion of the army, but he is not nepotism, and presented a list of generals and generals of various departments of the invasion army to Plug Yinxi overnight.

Du Yinxi immediately approved Li Yan's proposal, and immediately ordered a copy to be submitted to Beijing for the reference of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen and the Generalissimo's Office.

At the same time, Li Yan ordered someone to immediately gather the generals of all the troops in Wuchang City and began to prepare for a formal appeasement ceremony.

Here, Zhu Youzhen had already ordered the Ministry to prepare a canonization list and a holy decree to enshrine the army as the extermination army, and had ordered Jinyiwei to pass this to Du Yinxi.

This form of administrative system had caused a major case in the early Ming Dynasty, but now Zhu Youzhen, in order to pursue speed, can only let Huguang do such an administrative special thing once.

In addition, Du Yinxi only needed to read the edict of the Emperor to break into the army at the appeasement ceremony to complete the appeasement work, and began to focus on preparing for the fight against the Qing army.

In short, the efficiency of the entire army is very fast.

At the same time that Gao Yigong, Yuan Zongdi and other generals of the army gathered in Wuchang, the crown uniforms made in advance by the Imperial Court Rite Department had also arrived in Duyinxi, and at the same time arrived at the military quartermaster allocated by the Generalissimo's Mansion.

On this day, Li Yan was the first to put on the Ming Dynasty's Zhengsanpin civilian official uniform, and appeared in front of the generals of the various departments of the Chuang Army as the governor of Huguang.

Gao Yigong and the others began to be very excited when they saw this, and kept asking Li Yan about the court's appeasement.

"Strategist, why are you wearing the official uniform of the imperial court now, have you accepted the appeasement of the imperial court, and the imperial court has also agreed to our conditions?" Gao Yigong stood up first and asked.

"Yes, military advisor, how many rank are you here, do you have a big official position in the county, military advisor, you can't be fooled by the court casually!" Li Jin also shouted.

"Military advisor, if you accept the appeasement of the imperial court, then what kind of officials are we, don't really be as good as the county respect!" Yuan Zongdi also immediately asked.

Li Yan smiled, for this group of simple-minded and straightforward brothers, he was both appreciative and helpless, and after everyone chattered and asked, he began to explain why he agreed to the court's appeasement, and said: "Li Mou's talent is shallow, but His Majesty Long's grace, Jian Ba is the governor of Huguang, and the official position of the third grade is greater than that of the county. The blocking station will be announced in person later, please wait! ”

After Li Yan finished speaking, Du Yinxi stood up and began to read out the holy decree of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen to seal the Chuang Army as the exterminating army and the list of generals of the various departments of the Chuang Army, and read out a person who ordered someone to present the crown dress gift bag.

As Li Yan said, according to the names of the prefectures in the Huguang region, Du Yinxi awarded the post of chief soldier to the main general of the Chuang army, and the second was the deputy chief soldier, and the lowest was also a guerrilla.

But in terms of official position, this is already preferential treatment, after all, even the supreme commander of the more than 100,000 troops within the Guards is only the chief soldier, and this time the Fu Chuang army was awarded a large number of chief officers and deputy chief officers at one time.

Of course, this kind of general officer is also limited to the exterminator army, and his authority cannot be compared with that of the chief officer of the Guard.

Huguang is regarded as the reserved land allocated by Zhu Youzhen to the extermination army, and the real person in power is Du Yinxi and Li Yan, the actual person in charge of the exterminating army.

Naturally, this theater is different from other theaters, but in order to define the status level of the generals of the invasion army and facilitate the command of the subordinates, although many of the generals of the invasion army are general officers, only Gao Yigong, who has the highest status in the invasion army, serves as the chief military officer of Huguang, and the rest is just the name of the state capital of Huguang territory.

The generals of all walks of life came to the stage to receive a crown uniform, looking at the red robe and black yarn, they were also excited.

At this time, Du Yinxi ordered people to bring up food, quilts, cotton clothes, firearms, weapons and silver dollars.

If the conferral of officials only satisfied the vanity of the generals of the various departments of the army, then these real materials in front of them made the eyes of the poor army shine, and they really felt the benefits of belonging to the imperial court.

"Your Majesty's enshrinement of you as the extermination army is to hope that you brothers will remember that your mission is to destroy the Jianyu, from now on, we are the ones who eat the emperor's grain, and our lives will no longer belong to ourselves, but to Your Majesty, to the Ming Dynasty, and to the people of the Han family! We want to kill Jianyu and destroy Jianyu! ”

As soon as Li Yan explained this, the generals of the invading army understood the meaning of calling the extermination army, coupled with the temptation of various material interests in front of them, the enthusiasm of these invading generals increased greatly, and they immediately shouted after Li Yan.

At this point, Gu Yinxi's recruitment of the army headquarters was completely over.

And the next thing is the all-round preparation of the Huguang area.

Naturally, all units of the invading army need to change their outfits in an all-round way, or at least they must not allow the invading army to still have officers and soldiers who use kitchen knives and hoes as weapons.

The city walls in Huguang naturally need to be repaired, and the roads also need to be repaired, coupled with various water conservancy projects, Plug Yinxi can only use the only remaining civil power in the Huguang area to restore the infrastructure in the way of merit relief.

Li Yan began to use the intelligence information provided by Jinyiwei and the strategic adjustment of the imperial court to resist the tactics of the Qing army's Azig division and the specific strategy of defending Huguang.

At present, he and the generals of his extermination army are either the governor of Huguang or the chief military officer of Huguang and the commanders of the state capitals, and the sense of belonging is naturally different from before, guarding Huguang is just like they used to guard Shaanxi, Li Yan does not want his exterminating army to lose Huguang, a new base again, after losing his homeland Shaanxi.

Gu Yinxi is now worried that Li Yan and other exterminators will not want to make progress after taking root in Huguang, and now seeing Li Yan and others so actively preparing, he is naturally very relieved, and he will do his best to continue to transfer grain and grass from Hunan to supply the exterminating army, and even take the initiative to ask the Generalissimo's Mansion for more sophisticated ordnance supplements for the exterminating army.
