Chapter 158: Raising Virtue and Not Avoiding Family Hatred (Ask for Collection, Recommendation, Subscription)
Su Jun stood up unhurriedly from the chair, bowed down and helped Yuan Chongwen up, and said with a smile:
"You kid is really able to bend and stretch, no wonder you can be called General Sanqi, don't be special with me in the future, as long as you work hard, I promise to give your children and grandchildren a great fortune"
Yuan Chongwen was a few years older than Su Jun, but when Su Jun held his hand and said You kid, he didn't have the slightest sense of disobedience.
Seeing that he could be personally helped up by His Royal Highness the Prince, Yuan Chongwen was also very excited, and he looked like he had suddenly woken up, and said very exaggeratedly:
"Master Su, you don't know me yet, what I just said was from the heart, every word from the bottom of my heart, if you ......"
"Okay, okay, why didn't I see it a long time ago, you are such a person, don't say it, I'm afraid that everything I eat in the morning will be wasted"
Su Jun patted Yuan Chongwen on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"You better go back and continue to be a military marquis for me, but the marquis of the First Army is still served by Shi Tiansheng, you go to the newly recruited Fourth Army as a marquis, and you still have a suitable candidate? There are a lot of reserve generals in the army now."
Under the instruction of Yan Qinghua, the guards who went out to report the news had already told Yuan Chongwen outside just now that General Zhenbei intended to let him recommend talents.
Therefore, Su Jun's question did not mean Yuan Chongwen, he hesitated slightly, and then said eight competent candidates.
Among these eight people, five of them are from the Shaozhuang faction, and three are from the veteran faction, since Yuan Chongwen is the leader of the Shaozhuang faction, among the people mentioned, it is natural that his cronies account for the majority.
However, with Su Jun's understanding of the generals and soldiers in the army, these eight people are all brave and resourceful, and can be regarded as suitable candidates in his mind, so he does not mean to blame Yuan Chongwen.
Thinking like this in his heart, it doesn't mean that Su Jun will do this, even if he is very satisfied with this answer, Su Jun still wants to take the opportunity to beat Yuan Chongwen again, so he said coldly:
"Yuan Chongwen, you are so bold, the general has already opened the net and restored you to the position, but you have wantonly promoted your cronies, aren't you afraid that I will treat you for the crime of cronyism?"
Seeing that Su Jun was a little angry, Yuan Chongwen didn't panic at all, and said unhurriedly:
"Since the general asked me, I will tell the general the truth about the person in my heart, whether you use it or not, if I don't say it, it is a reservation for the general, and then I should be punished."
The dark clouds on Su Jun's face disappeared in an instant, and he said happily:
"Okay, you Yuan Chongwen, all of a sudden put the responsibility on me, since you are virtuous and do not avoid relatives and enemies, I will give them a chance, if there is any problem at that time, I will ask you again!"
"Virtuous do not avoid family enmity"
"Virtuous do not avoid family enmity"
Yuan Chongwen repeated both sides, and knelt on one knee again:
"The general's mind is really not beyond our reach, but an ordinary sentence contains endless truths, in fact, the eight people I just said are all superior in ability, but one person is more than a hundred times stronger than them"
"What Chongwen said is Yu Dayou? Haha"
Su Jun seemed to see through Yuan Chongwen's heart, and said Yu Dayou's name first.
"It is precisely between Yu Dayou's talent and my uncle, it is more than enough to be a military marquis, and the last general implores the general to appoint Yu Dayou as the military marquis of the Fifth Army."
Yu Dayou has a very good impression on Su Jun, and the two have fought side by side together, even if Yuan Chongwen doesn't mention it, Su Jun wants to promote him, but Su Jun doesn't have an accurate concept of what position Yu Dayou will be promoted to.
However, now Yuan Chongwen said that Yu Dayou can be qualified as a military marquis, which should be much worse, but he was suddenly promoted from a centurion to a military marquis, this kind of span is absolutely unprecedented in the army, and Su Jun still plans to let him start as a deputy military marquis first.
Even so, it would be a miracle to go from a centurion, past the tun commander and a thousand commanders, and directly promoted to a false marquis.
"Okay, then I'll believe you once, but the position of military marquis is so easy to give to Yu Dayou, it's still too cheap for him, let him be a fake marquis first, if he has real skills, it's not too late to promote him to be a military marquis."
Yuan Chongwen bowed and said loudly:
"Then I will thank the general for his kindness on behalf of Yu Dayou."
Su Jun looked at Yuan Chongwen a little strangely and said:
"Although Yu Dayou belongs to the Shaozhuang faction, he is closer to Huang Lie, and I have heard privately that there are many gaps between the two of you, why do you still ask for an official position for him?"
Yuan Chongwen hesitated again and again, and finally said:
"How can the dragon lie down and talk? Sooner or later, the general will soar into the sky, and how can my vision be limited to Bei'an County, so I'm not worried that Yu Dayou will compete with me."
"The domestic dog dares to swing the dragon gate?"
"How can a dragon lie in the shallows?"
I should have let Yuan Chongwen and Zou Youlin have more contact, and the attitudes of the two are the same, but why are they raising a group of rebels?
From Yan Qinghua to Dong's Shuangxiong, from Zou Youlin to Yuan Chongwen, all of them are ambitious people, and they haven't done anything yet, but they all want to make something happen to themselves.
Su Jun is not worried that his subordinates are ambitious, because all those who are ambitious are capable people, and as long as he controls them well, he will become a great help to himself.
"I understand Chongwen's thoughts, it's just that General Zhenbei can lead the five armies alone, and now that the five armies are full, I have no other way."
Yuan Chongwen's eyes rolled, smiled faintly, and said:
"What's so hard about that? Generals don't have to add new troops, but we can expand the number! We can expand to 15,000, 20,000 or 50,000 men in an army, and then we can continue to recruit troops. ”
The Anning Statute stipulated that the Zhenbei general could receive a maximum of five armies, and the royal court would only pay a maximum of 50,000 military salaries and materials on time each year, but there was no limit to the number of people.
This is not a loophole in the peace law, but because in this turbulent era it takes a huge expense to raise a private army, and other generals will only lay off people in order to risk the army's salary, but absolutely no one will increase it privately, not only for fear of the monarch's suspicion, but also because the financial resources cannot keep up.
But Su Jun is not worried about financial resources at all, now he lacks everything is not short of money, not to mention that the money allocated by the county head has not been spent, and now he has scavenged a large amount of treasure from Cai Xukun's house, in addition to these, Su Jun also has a big secret of his own, but he has not been able to find time.
Su Jun never expected Yuan Chongwen to come up with such a crooked idea, he was stunned for a moment, and then he also smiled and said:
"Chongwen's idea is good, now there is no need to consider the issue of military salaries and materials, even if the number doubles, I believe we can raise it, but this kind of thing needs to be low-key, so as not to be used by people with intentions."
Su Jun has five integrated armies, and now there are only four military marquis, Shi Tiansheng, the marquis of the first army, Huang Lie, the marquis of the second army, Jiang Ying, the marquis of the third army, Yuan Chongwen, the marquis of the fourth army, and the marquis of the fifth army will be used for Dayou according to Yuan Chongwen's meaning, but Su Jun finally decided to use Gao Zhong to concurrently serve as a high-ranking concurrent, if Yu Dayou is really up to the task, it is not too late to promote him.
There are military marquis, but there are still some shortage of false marquis, commanders, tun commanders, and centurions, according to Yuan Chongwen's suggestion, they have all been supplemented in turn, and finally Yan Qinghua reported some of the newly recruited talents in the army to Su Jun, and the best of them are naturally Wu Kuohai, Huo Wuji and a few others.
