Seeing that the coach seemed to be thoughtful, the subordinates who had been talking to each other because of excessive excitement gradually calmed down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 No wonder they were so excited and excited, they were able to leap into the dragon gate and suddenly become high-ranking generals and officials of the empire from the rebel army, this sudden change in identity did make it difficult for them to suppress their feelings for a while. None of them were staunch admirers of the Taiping Sect, whether it was the subordinates who followed the commander in the early stage or the subordinates who defected in the later stage. The ups and downs that the Taiping Sect has experienced over the years have made it clear that it is purely an illusory dream to sit in the world and enjoy glory by relying on enthusiasm and perseverance alone, and the coach can bring himself to such a point in the turbulent chaos and stones, which also makes them full of admiration and unconditional trust in the coach.

The low-key and conservative in Jiujiang once made Cheng Dayou's subordinates a little puzzled, and in the face of hydrangea flattery from all sides, Cheng Dayou was also warm and polite, but he always refused to show his attitude. Even for the holy country in Heshuo, Cheng Dayou still sent a generous gift from time to time, so that his subordinates couldn't understand what he wanted to do as a coach. The use of a large number of old officials, the same imperial policy system, and the maintenance of harmony and friendship with the local gentry also made many old subordinates who had been following Cheng Dayou feel dissatisfied, but fortunately, Cheng Dayou's prestige was enough to suppress all the dissatisfied voices from within himself, and all policies were implemented without change, so that in the entire Wuhu region, Jiujiang Mansion, which was under the banner of the Taiping Rebellion Party, became the most economically prosperous and stable government, which could not help but surprise the traditional aristocratic forces in the Wuhu region.

And all this, the curtain was finally lifted today, the generals and officials who have their own rewards and appointments in the face of today's grand scene, can not help but admire the wisdom of their coaches, waiting for a long time to have a seat, this vulgar old saying has become the most classic interpretation of this harvest.

Although Cheng Dayou didn't want to hit his elated subordinates, he had to pour cold water on them to calm their overheated minds so that his next plan could be unfolded. Situ Lang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, in addition to this first batch of military uniforms and military expenses, I am afraid that if you want to squeeze something out of him, it depends on your own performance, but Cheng Dayou has never thought of relying on the charity and gifts of outsiders to maintain his rule, and it has never been his habit to control his right to survive in the hands of others, especially in this so-called master, who is not strong enough.

"Zhang Shan, did you check the silver ticket sent by the Central Financial Administration of the Empire? The summer military uniforms will be issued as quickly as possible, and the original Taiping Sect things can be thrown into the garbage heap, and all the original marks must be removed. Cheng Dayou didn't pay much attention to the division commander with a look of anticipation, and asked his logistics and finance officer directly. Cheng Dayou, who has the most military foothold, naturally until the logistics support is an important surname for an army, everyone until Jiujiang Mansion holds the financial power, but it is this nondescript logistics and financial officer.

"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates have checked it, it is accurate, there is no problem with the three million gold coins, and my subordinates have transferred it to Nanyang Commercial Bank. Military uniforms have begun to be distributed in all divisions, but in terms of armor, can adults consider making some updates as well, especially the fourth and fifth divisions? The shrewd-faced man was plainly dressed, and he was quite out of step with his boss in terms of his style of life, but it did not affect the close relationship between the two in the slightest. The 4th and 5th Divisions were reorganized from the Taiping Army that defected and escaped from Heshuo, while the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions were Cheng Dayou's old subordinates.

"Well, send the inventory armor in the warehouse to the fourth and fifth divisions, and continue to increase orders from the merchants, make sure to ensure that there is enough inventory, I plan to draw a wing from the first, second, and third divisions, and the fourth and fifth divisions will draw a wing in total, and immediately reorganize the two reading divisions, and the armor and weapons in stock need to be replenished in large quantities, and the three million gold coins are just in the emergency. Cheng Dayou waved his hand lightly and commanded undoubtedly.

"My lord!" Not only was the logistics and finance officer stunned, but also several other officers in the hall were also surprised. You must know that the formation of the Fourth and Fifth Divisions was only two months ago, and it had just completed the reorganization and naming, and now the land of Jiujiang and Yifu has supported an army of 100,000, such a big economic pressure has made the financial officer feel haggard, although the empire has only given three million imperial gold coins for military expenses, but this is only enough to supplement the necessary equipment and materials, and even the salaries of the soldiers are difficult to maintain, and now the boss actually proposes to recruit soldiers, which is simply unacceptable to him.

Breathing suddenly, the financial officer, who rarely got angry, finally broke out: "My lord, I don't know what the adults are thinking, now a legion of 100,000 people is stationed in Jiujiang, do you still think that Jiujiang is not safe enough? At the beginning, we didn't just insist on 50,000 people to come over and do the risk, but now that the number of troops has doubled, is it more dangerous, and we still need to expand the army to ensure safety?"

Cheng Dayou didn't think it was strange to his financial officer's attack, if it was him, he couldn't accept such an unbelievable army expansion plan, in just a few months, without any threat from the outside world, he more than doubled the number of troops at once, such an action in the eyes of the financial officer, he was probably really carried away by success, and he was going to use all his strength to fish.

Cheng Dayou did not directly answer his question from the logistics and finance officer, but turned his gaze to several other officers who were hesitant in the period, "What is the opinion of a few of you, do you have the same opinion as Zhang Shan?"

Several officers exchanged glances, and finally the eldest officer stepped forward and said: "My lord, it is important to strengthen our military strength, but we are only based on Jiujiang and one prefecture, is it a bit too hasty to expand the army now? I am afraid that you will have to consider the financial and logistical pressure brought about by such a large-scale expansion of the army. ”

Nodding, Cheng Dayou was also a little disappointed in relief, relieved that his subordinates did not blindly echo their own opinions, nor did they only look at the problem from the perspective of the army, but disappointed that none of his subordinates could occupy a strategic height to look at this reorganization and the complex situation that they were about to face, and it seemed that it was not possible to succeed in cultivating a general with long-term vision and strategic awareness.

"Zhang Shan, don't be excited, I want to expand the army and be free, and I have my own sense of proportion. Cheng Dayou's explanation without any emotion seemed a little shriveled and tasteless, and before the boss could make the next step of explanation, the financial officer had already unceremoniously pushed back: "My lord, your reason is not valid for me, I only know that now a legion needs three or four hundred thousand gold coins to pay salaries alone, and Jiujiang's current finances cannot support it at all, and you said that you need to replenish equipment and materials with the funds allocated by the empire, I don't know how you can solve this problem? Not to mention what you said about increasing the military establishment of two more divisions and regiments." ”

Tomorrow, the envoy of His Royal Highness the King of Chu will send a silver ticket of one million gold coins, which can be used to solve urgent needs, but the army expansion plan I am talking about cannot be stopped, and must be carried out as quickly as possible! After a pause, Cheng Dayou glanced at everyone in the hall with a somewhat gloomy gaze: "Everyone look farther and look deeper into the problem, why does Situ Lang spend so much money to recruit us? Why did Situ Tai try his best to win us over?" Why would this Situ Yuan offer a silver ticket of one million gold coins in both hands? Could it be that they are fools?"

The financial officer wanted to speak, but swallowed it back under the boss's stern gaze, "Think about it, everyone, what do they like about us? Isn't it that we are an army that can fight tough battles and our attitude seems to be a little different from that of Heshuo? The most important thing is that our brothers can fight and win battles! Looking at Situ Yuan's performance in the East China Sea, he handed over all the huge Donghai County to Situ Tai within half a year, and he still had an army of two or three hundred thousand in his hands. But what about us, tens of thousands of people can defeat the empire's 100,000 army, this is capital! If we don't have this capital, then we are not even as good as shit!"

"What is Situ Lang thinking? What is Situ Yuan thinking? Isn't it just that he wants to use our strength to deal with Situ Tai? Can we not go? We have taken so many things from other people, and it seems that it is impossible to go? Maybe everyone is thinking, if we really don't go to Situ Tai, they will have nothing to do with us! But have you thought about it, as Zhang Shan said just now, this Jiujiang Mansion can support our 100,000 troops? Without the support of the empire, we are afraid that we will have to finish the game if we can't even pass this year! The big guy may be asking again, since I can't even raise 100,000 troops, then why do I have to expand two divisions? Isn't this a slap in the face?" Cheng Dayou's gaze slowly moved around the hall like a snake hyacinth, flickering uncertainly.

"Let me tell you, it is precisely because we can't live now, that we have to put it to death and live in the future, and fight him!" Cheng Dayou stood up and looked around the generals proudly: "Since the land of Jiujiang can't support us, can't we occupy a bigger and more fertile piece of his mother's land?
