Chapter 43: Rules

Chase also glanced at the man along Wu Yingying's finger, bowed his head and said: "My lord, this person is a Han businessman who is the head of the army in the camp capital, and there are more than 1,000 men under him, specializing in trafficking sea salt and brocade gold beads from the north and south. ”

Wu Yingying sighed, then pointed to the person who had just spoken to him and asked, "What about this person?"

Seeing that this person was wearing a big green brocade robe and had a powdered face, Chase didn't feel embarrassed, and said: "This person is the head of the scattered members hanging under the Divine Guard, and dozens of turtle princes under him are all in the army, and Qin Huai is called the head of incense powder." ”

Wu Yingying nodded with a smile, raised his hand to stop Chase from introducing other people's livelihoods and identities to him, walked up to the handsome position, quietly looked at this group of messy people, and said in his heart, I can't see that Huangfu Jixun is not a good kid in the war, but he is a good hand in the tertiary industry, he cleared his throat, coughed a few times, and after everyone in the hall quieted down, Fang said: "You fellow Divine Guards, this will be the new Divine Guard Duyu Marquis Wu Yingying." ”

After counting for nearly half an hour, most of the remnants of the Divine Guard Army, which should have had 50,000 soldiers, were either people who ran various industries for Huangfu Jixun, or they had left vacant posts that had been vacant for many years and were privately divided by officers at all levels. There are only more than 10,000 remaining soldiers, and they are not the descendants of the Divine Guard, but the people of Huangfu Jixun who annexed the rest of the military lines, for example, after Lin Renzhao, who stayed in the southern capital, was unjustly killed, Huangfu Jixun forcibly incorporated more than a dozen commanders of the Huainan camp that originally belonged to Lin Renzhao into the Divine Guard, but these people have always been very concerned about Huangfu Jixun, so a battalion elsewhere on weekdays escaped a catastrophe last night.

After sending out those military leaders who were engaged in various industries with kind words and comfort, Wu Yingying couldn't help but have a headache again in the face of the remaining 20 or so unruly captains and capital heads, this kind of personnel relationship in the foreign army is often the most complicated, these subordinates can not tolerate Huangfu Jixun and not be kicked out of the army, obviously they have their own backgrounds, and they have long accumulated rich experience in fighting against Shangguan, and how to command this force when their own qualifications and means are not as good as their own qualifications and means are really like a mess.

How to sort out the mess, Wu Yingying didn't speak, and those people sat down with sneers on their faces, as if to say, Lao Tzu's corpse mountain and sea of blood have crawled over, I'm afraid that you, a white-faced scholar, will not succeed?

It's really a mess, and suddenly, a thought flashed through Wu Yingying's mind, since it can't be straightened out, it's better to mess everything up and start over. He carefully weighed the consequences of gains and losses, raised his head, glanced at the heads of the various armies sitting at the bottom one by one, and said with a smile: "Fellow comrades, now is the time for survival. Since His Majesty handed over this Jinling Divine Guard to the command of this general, this general should do his best to be loyal to the country. The former Shenwei commanded Huangfu Jixun to fear the enemy like a tiger, and he was empty-handed with an army of 100,000, but he allowed military affairs to be slackened, which is distressing. The general will be to reorganize the Divine Guard, since the first in the army is brave, then compete to win the officer, select the warrior as the centurion of each capital, the centurion of each department elects the commander of the school, and the captain of the military school elects the commander of the army, and everything has its own judgment. This is really just for the sake of winning souls for the country, not for selfishness, and for not breaking the rules and installing private individuals. Do you have any objections?" After a pause, he said: "You generals don't have to worry, if you don't win the lead officer due to lack of courage or popularity, the Yamen of the Divine Guard Army will still be retained, and the salary of the title will remain unchanged, or there may be gains." ”

As soon as these words came out, he was originally holding back a lot of energy, as long as Wu Yingying dared to remove the official positions of the various ministries and install private individuals, the military leaders of the various ministries who were arguing with him immediately couldn't help but look at each other, according to Wu Yingying's approach, everything relied on his own courage and the people in the army to take it, even if he sued His Majesty, no one believed that he was installing a private person, after all, there was a dragon and a crouching tiger in the army, who could guarantee that his cronies could get the official as he wished. The practice of the centurion recommending the captain and the captain electing the commander is the old habit of the five generations of the army, and it is not uncommon to even recommend the envoy to stay behind, and these old soldiers are also quite familiar, and everything is done according to the routine, but no general is like Wu Yingying, who took out all the officer positions and let the soldiers seize them by bravery. At that moment, several military leaders who were brave and won the hearts of the army said: "The command makes this method very good, and we will be convinced." "Since some people are open in support, others are also dissenting. A few people who thought that they had no hope of becoming an official were also worried about Wu Yingying's promise that the salary of the title would remain unchanged or that there would be gains, so they did not vigorously oppose it.

Seeing this, Wu Yingying explained in detail the rules of the competition and the promotion of officials, and after everyone said that they understood, Fang smiled and said: "It seems that all the generals are open-minded and dedicated to serving the country. ”

After the generals retreated, Wu Yingying asked Chase to gather all the soldiers over, and said with a smile: "You have all experienced a contest in the Jinfan Army, I once said that the prince and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning, but everything depends on your skills to fight, I can only give you a fair chance, today is a holiday and rest, dinner and meat in the house, each has a good meal, if you want to be a centurion, you will sign up with Chase to participate in the competition." After speaking, he unfolded the account book that he had just put together, and his eyes were focused on the final figures, the various industries operated by the Divine Guard Army were about 4.3 million yuan in silver, and there were 900,000 stone in storage. Before I knew it, a large piece of saliva fell onto the account book. A thought kept spinning in Wu Yingying's mind, damn, I'm rich.

That night, after seeing off several guests one after another, Prime Minister Xu Xuan asked Zhang Xun, a scholar of the Qinghui Palace, who was a scholar of the Qinghui Palace, and said: "Kairen, this Wu hero has gone to such great lengths to take charge of the Divine Guard Army when he first took charge, what is his idea? Could it be that he really thinks that his own soldiers all have the courage to be unstoppable, and he regards the generals of the Divine Guard Army as nothing?"

Zhang Xun said with a smile: "There are also a few generals who have come to me to complain during the day, and the lower officials have inquired a little, this Wu Yingying has also engaged in a competition to win officials in charge of the Jinfan Army, but it doesn't seem to be specifically for the purpose of installing private individuals." ”

Xu Xuan paced with his hands behind his back, and said while thinking: "In that case, is he out of public intentions?"

Zhang Xun looked at Xu Xian with a face and said in a low voice: "After the defeat of Huangfu Jixun, the Divine Guard Army has less than 10,000 soldiers who can fight, and its strength is not as good as before. What the lower officials are worried about is that His Majesty was bewitched by Wu Qiao, and now he is willing to fight, and I am afraid that the people of Jiangnan will burn all the jade. ”

Xu Xuan listened to him with a gloomy face, and did not answer, staring at the flickering candle flame, from time to time some flying insects in the room rushed towards the flames, which were burned to a brown, and the flames also burst out from time to time with a crackling sound, and muttered: "They are going to hit the stone with an egg, and we will watch from the sidelines now, and when we suffer a few more setbacks, Your Majesty will naturally think of the matter of peace." He saw that Zhang Xun's face was still hesitant, and said: "You don't have to worry too much, Xu Yuanli and Diao Yan of the inner hall are all interested in me, and all the movements between Wu Qiao and His Majesty are under control." ”
