Compared with Anqing's side of the sword and sword shadow, the wind and waves are much calmer here, but the weather is not very good, gloomy, damp and cold, which makes people shrink and don't want to go out.

Although the weather is not good, Liu Liangzuo is in an extremely sunny mood, because he finally got what he wants, and at this moment he is already a division commander of the Ming Army! The division commander of a combat unit worthy of the name has an appointment document stamped by the Military Affairs Department of the Ming Army.

Doesn't it feel a little wrong, didn't this product originally just want to rectify on the spot and become a local king of Luzhou, how could he be willing to join the combat army? This has to start from the beginning, starting with Liu Liangzuo's good friend Li Yan, who recently met,

The two of them met for the first time from Wangjiang Tower, and after a drink, it was like seeing each other late, especially Liu Liangzuo wanted to tie up Li Yan, plus Li Yan was a literati, which was more in line with his vassal and elegant demeanor, so in the next few days, the two began to warm up!

How hot is it, the heat falls to the point that Li Yan often goes to the city to drink flower wine, every time Liu Liangzuo comes to accompany him, and even once left Huang Degong and others and Liu Liangzuo to change places, and sometimes they stay in Liu's mansion for the night!

Happiness came too suddenly, Liu Liangzuo's old fritter was not unsuspecting, but after a few days of dating, except for being overwhelmed by Li Yan's erudition and talent, he didn't find anything unusual, and even Li Yan never invited him to the camp outside the city as a guest, or other things that made him suspicious, but often came to visit him, which made him slowly dispel his suspicions.

And in the end, what made him feel at ease was Li Yan's heart-wrenching, according to the current military affairs department's rectification of the local army, Luzhou Mansion is very likely to be set up as a military region, and his mind is to sit on the top deal of this military region, and the requirements are not big, just take Luzhou Mansion and Anqing Mansion as their own jurisdiction!

This was said once when he was drinking alone with Li Yan in his house, even if it was a heart-wrenching word, Li Yan also compared his heart to his heart, shook his head and told him that it was impossible! The reason is simple. Because Nanjing has just been divided into a large military region, including fourteen prefectures and four prefectures, and Luzhou Mansion and Anqing Mansion happen to belong to it, as for the top spot of the Nanjing Military Region, it is Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, who sits in the top spot! So don't think again!

"Brother Li, can't you separate the two prefectures of Luzhou and Anqing? If you can, brother will be grateful! The expression on Liu Liangzuo's face as he spoke declared, buddy is very powerful!

Li Yan shook his head slightly, saying that he had no such right at all, and persuaded him that even if the two prefectures were set aside separately to establish a military region, how could there be a good life under the roof of the Nanjing Military Region, it was not a fat difference at all!

That...... Liu Liangzuo was a little depressed!

"Brother Liu, it doesn't matter if you are for fame or profit, or fame and fortune. I advise you not to put your mind on the military region, the military region is in charge of the defense of local cities, you think about the god king in the world is about to be peaceful, where can you still make merits in the local area, but the combat troops are very different, now the thieves have not been extinguished, the Tartars have not retreated, there are still many military merits waiting for you, once you are incorporated into the combat unit, you can get the most sophisticated equipment, whether it is to kill thieves or Tartars or to fight overseas in the future. Brother Li is just around the corner with tens of thousands of sons under his command, not to mention the earl of Uncle Huang, it is very likely that he is a marquis, at that time, the golden seal and gold book in his hand is a matter of glory to the ancestors...... that is, Li Yan's words made Liu Liangzuo down-to-earth. I really regard Li Yan as a good partner!

The next thing was much smoother, and the next day Liu Liangzuo's troops accepted the rectification, and when Li Yan handed him the appointment letter with both hands, the corners of Liu Liangzuo's eyes flew. Very cooperative, he accepted the manpower of the Military Affairs Department into his barracks to start the military reform!

Military reform is not a simple matter of changing names and appointing generals, and all soldiers must be re-registered. This is the most basic, firstly, to count the real number of people to avoid being paid empty, and secondly, to plan various follow-up benefits for these soldiers, such as medical insurance and pension insurance.

In addition to the registration of the register, there is also compulsory retirement, the old, weak, sick and disabled and soldiers over the age of 45 must be discharged, the military affairs department will issue a large amount of retirement allowance for them, and every year in the military districts in various places will receive a retirement allowance, this benefit is absolutely unprecedented in this era, so there is no resistance to forced retirement, but many soldiers are very happy.

As soon as it was dark, Luzhou became a Daming military camp and there was a lot of commotion, and it was strange that hundreds of thousands of troops could be quiet again, especially now when it was time to eat.

A few war horses galloped into the camp quickly, it was Li Yan and several assistants from the military affairs department who had just finished reorganizing Liu Liangzuo's men and horses from the city, and now they came back in a hurry, and they knew that something important was happening by looking at his face!

Sure enough, as soon as Li Yan jumped off the horse, he asked the soldiers of the military affairs department who hurriedly came to lead the horse for him: "Is there any news of the prince?" ”

"Nope!"

"Is Uncle Huang back?" Li Yan continued to ask

"Uncle Huang came back at noon and got drunk, and he hasn't seen anyone yet, so he is probably still sleeping!"

Li Yan snorted when he heard this: "Go, Uncle Huang called, and the top leaders of all departments and battalions were called to the meeting!" ”

The soldiers took the order and left.

Huang Degong looked very bad, his face was pale, his eye sockets were deep, he had a cigarette in his mouth, and he rubbed his head with a painful expression and walked into the tent. Those who serve as soldiers live one day at a time to earn one day, and the devil knows that in a few days they will go into the mountains to start a war and come back alive.

Of course, there are exceptions in the army, in addition to Abatai and other Qing army prisoners who are absolutely not allowed to leave the camp, there is another Ming army general who has not left the camp an inch, not Xu Wenjue, he finally went out to have a good time.

This person is Zuo Mengeng, yes, Zuo Liangyu's son Zuo Mengeng, he has not left the camp an inch, and he always volunteered to be on duty when the other battalion generals entered the city to party, so Li Yan wondered if he had any ideas, and specially sent someone from the military affairs department to keep an eye on him secretly, and it turned out that he was doing everything as usual!

"I'm going to do it tomorrow, I need to use your manpower, let's have a good count tonight", Li Yan swept around the people in the tent, and found that except for Zuo Mengeng and Xu Wenjue, who were quite refreshed, everyone else was soft, and their brows couldn't help frowning!

"Then the flower dog trusts you completely? How are you going to do it? Huang Degong rubbed his head vigorously, and as he spoke, he glared at a soldier from the military affairs department next to him, signaling the other party to make himself a cup of strong tea and wake up to drink!

"Regardless of whether he completely lets down his guard or not, we have to do it, the prince sent a message to me to rectify the army of the seven cities of Luzhou and Anqing. Time can't always be spent on him, and I think it's about the same time! Li Yan took a sip of hot tea, he didn't smoke and hated the smell of smoke, but almost all of them in the tent were addicted to smoking!

"This is your duty, you are in charge of what you say you will do, we need to use people to cooperate with you, what are your plans?" Zheng Hong flicked the cigarette ash and said seriously!

"Tomorrow I will invite him to Lu'an with me, and then I will start on the road!" Li Yan said lightly!

"It seems that it can't be solved peacefully" Xu Wenjue is not a smoker, he only smokes roots occasionally, and now he is also holding a cup of hot tea! "Director Li is planning to ambush?"

Li Yan smiled when he heard this: "It's indeed planning to set up an ambush." However, this ambush needs to be fought well, and the matter can still be resolved peacefully, and there is no need to see blood! ”

"Oh? Let's listen to "The crowd is interested!"

"So ......" Li Yan said his plan simply and quickly, and everyone nodded, and it seemed that they all agreed with this method!

"This job, I took it one by one" Zheng Hongyan was pushed by Li Qingshan next to him as soon as he spoke: "The strength of the second regiment is to ambush ......"

Before he finished speaking, he immediately shouted in the tent: "Why, the ...... of our three regiments" "it, why do you eat meat every time, let us drink soup and not ......"

"Calm down. Calm down, Zheng Hong, Qingshan, and Brother Ai. Brother He, don't come to grab food from your four fathers, don't bring that kind of fun! Every time you take the credit, leave us a bone to gnaw, buddy is with you. But now it's the worst, all the big brothers are happy to stutter! Hu Haitian and Ji Ying stood up excitedly and roared, and everyone quieted down. I was a little embarrassed on my face!

"Brothers, give me a face, don't you leave this job to my brothers, it's not a big achievement, can you give a face?" , Ji Ying looked at everyone and asked, Zheng Hong and the others nodded, no matter what, they were all buddies who surrendered together, and they were thrown into the mountain nest by the master for a few months, and they finally came out, so they should be given a chance!

"Thank you, brothers" Hu Haitian and Ji Ying were about to thank each other, but one of them disagreed!

"I don't think it's fair! Zheng Hong and the four regiments are all biological, usually big fish and meat, not to mention Uncle Huang, in addition to fish and meat, there is also wine, that is, Zuo Menggeng's kid has at least a bone to gnaw, and the two camps of Xu and Tang are even more moisturized, now let's talk about my high camp, the worst equipment, every time I do it, it's hard work, don't you bosses want to reward me with soup, I'm done in the high camp, if you don't let me do it, don't do it" Gao Jie stood up and said with a domineering face!

Huang Degong and Zheng Hong and others were too lazy to pay attention to him, but Zuo Mengeng was unwilling, especially the 'boy' who was very unhappy when he heard it, and Xu Wenjue and Zhu Yujian obviously heard that he had a sarcastic taste, these two people smiled and laughed, but where did Xu Wuhou hear this, he stood up and scolded.

"All sit down!" Li Yan drank it in time, and let a scolding fight be pinched in the bud!

"This work will be done by the pioneer battalion and the high battalion" Li Yan looked at these generals and felt a headache to tell the truth, and glanced at him again: "And you Xu Wuhou!" ”

"Hehe, presumably no one will object to my participation in this work", Xu Wuhou spit out a smoke ring, with a smug face, because to implement tomorrow's plan, there is a key point that must be helped by him, so everyone can only smile bitterly when they hear this, and some even give him a thumbs up!

"From tomorrow, no general is allowed to enter the city to drink and look for flowers, and those who violate discipline will be fined for half a year with fifty military sticks" Li Yan's words made everyone in the account roll their eyes, but no one dared to say anything.

"Zuo Menggeng, you prepare people tomorrow just in case!" Li Yan continued!

"Everything is thoughtful, what else is there to guard against, even if that flower horse Liu is careful, he will bring at most two thousand people, no pressure at all!" Huang Degong rubbed his head and said!

"Uncle Huang, don't forget that Liu Liangzuo has been operating in Luzhou for a long time, and his roots are deep, and those subordinates under him will have to guard against them, even if you can't look down on those people, but there is still one person who must be watched, even the prince has specially told him!" Li Yan said cautiously

"Who?" Huang Degong was stunned

"Liu Zehong, the son of Liu Liangzuo's eldest brother Liu Liangchen. His own nephew! Because Liu Liangzuo's son Liu Zehan is still young, Liu Zehong is his henchman in the army, and he has to guard against it," Li Yan said!

Oh, Huang Degong nodded slightly: "Liu Liangchen's son!" ”

"Uncle Huang, do you know Liu Liangchen?" Everyone in the tent is either halfway through the way or they are all young and don't know who Liu Liangchen is!

"I've heard that it used to be a guerrilla under Zu Dashou, and he was cleared in the fourth year ......of Chongzhen," Huang Degong began to talk eloquently.

"This thing is easy to do" After listening to it for a while, Ma Han, the leader of the pro-guard army, said: "Ming'er sent a few brothers into the city to keep an eye on the goods, if there is any change, they will do it directly" Doing this work is indeed cleaner than the military affairs office, and the reason is very simple. If you have a gun, you are a master!

"That's it, make two preparations, if Liu Zehong has any abnormal move, kill him immediately, Zuo Menggeng, you immediately lead troops into the city to control the situation" Li Yan finally made a decision!

"Go to Lu'an?" Liu Liangzuo saw Li Yan early in the morning and was a little surprised when he heard the news: "Brother Li, more than 200 miles from Luzhou to Lu'an, if we set off now, we won't be able to get there after dark, it's not safe to walk at night on the halfway, you know better than me what kind of place this is, and the weather is ...... It is not advisable to go far away," Liu Liangzuo said, and looked at the gloomy sky outside the courtyard.

"If it's not safe on the road, just bring more people and horses, although this is the base camp of the thief army, but I don't believe in evil, he can still calculate that I will go to Lu'an today to ambush in advance" Li Yan looked disapproving: "Brother, I am short of time." Before the prince, you have to hurry up and rectify the army in this place, otherwise you will have to be punished when you come back, and I heard that most of Lu'an's brothers are unruly, and Brother Liu has a very high prestige in this land. Gotta go and help the brothers in the town."

Liu Liangzuo smiled, with a smug look on his face, Brother Li smiled, and then rolled his eyes: "How many people does Brother Li plan to bring over?" ”

"What am I doing with my people? This is Brother Liu's territory. Brother Liu has to come out of this matter, if I have an accident on your land, there is no guarantee of safety. You Brother Liu can't hang it on his face" Li Yan said with a smile: "Besides, let's drive, in case of an accident, no one can stop you when you step on the accelerator......"

As soon as he heard that Li Yan didn't take anyone with him, Liu Liangzuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard that he was going to take the car, he immediately became excited: "But what kind of car Xu Wuhou has?" He likes the car so much, every time Xu Wuhou enters the city, he drives over, he admires him drooling, and he wants to go up for a ride many times, but Xu Wuhou disagrees!

The reason is very simple, Xu Wuhou cherished the car that Lu Wang rewarded him like a baby, as a private car, except for his brother Xu Wenjue and Huang Degong, who couldn't afford to offend, he could hitchhike him, others, who you are, go aside, for this reason, Liu Liangzuo, who once felt that he had been brushed after drinking, almost turned his face, but that bastard boy still didn't like him, he was so individual, if you ask why, the reason is very simple, the second generation of rich officials! Father Guo, the head of the Nanjing Military Region, the brother of the young country, and the commander of the Xu Zi Battalion with the most well-equipped equipment in the Ming Army, is so capricious that ordinary people can't afford to offend!

"yes, that's the kid!" Li Yan smiled, "I violated military regulations yesterday in order to atone for my crimes, and today I am willing to go to Lu'an to run errands."

"Oh, what kind of military rules did that kid commit?" Liu Liangzuo couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I brought a woman into the camp last night and was caught by our military affairs office, although the army does not ban women, but it is absolutely not allowed to be brought into the camp, this is a big violation of discipline" Li Yan said with anger on his face!

"Brother Li, do you really dare to punish this kid? I heard that he has a big background? Liu Liangzuo asked with a grin!

Li Yan laughed, looked at Liu Liangzuo, who was a little surprised, and said: "I don't dare to punish anyone in the army except for the God King, and I don't dare to punish anyone in the army, but I can't hide it from Uncle Huang's Military Affairs Department, of course, I haven't found a chance yet!" ”

Hehe, Liu Liangzuo smiled a little stiffly and embarrassedly: "It seems that it can't fall into the hands of Brother Li in the future!" ”

"Brother Liu is too careful, the discipline in the army is tight on the outside and loose on the inside, as long as it is not a cruelty to the people, defection and the like are fine, they are all blind to each other, by the way, Brother Li, let's hurry up, it's not too early" Li Yan said and looked at his watch, nine o'clock in the morning!
