Section 283 Demoting
In the flower hall outside the White Tiger Festival Hall, a group of figures who look like generals are sitting in the Hu chair, with solemn expressions.
Cui Shang sat in the chair on the left, with a gentle face, holding a tea cup with a smile.
"You don't have to be restrained, the king of the county heard that you were coming, and he had already swept the couch to treat each other, and specially told Cui that as soon as the affairs of his side were dealt with, he would come over immediately. ”
"Master Cui is too polite, I and other idle people, if we can be received by the king of the county, it is to raise love, how dare you ask for anything else?" One of them has a purple and red noodle soup, covered with a thick beard, and a pair of eyebrows are even more distinctive, short and thick, especially at the top, like four eyes.
"Hehe, the county king will be here soon, and you will be able to appreciate the sincerity of the county king. Cui Shang knew that these people were still a little apprehensive in their hearts.
It's not easy to be an idle person, especially there is a big family behind it, or even a big family, from Bianliang to Xuzhou, Shouzhou, Suzhou, I'm afraid that the cold reception is indispensable, in Bianliang is used to being a master, to the point that Xuzhou has fallen to the point where no one cares, this contrast is not something that anyone can adapt to, and there are these guys who want to ask for a background.
But for Xuzhou, these people are urgently needed.
Xuzhou's strength has expanded too fast, soldiers can be trained or recruited, weapons and armor can be built, logistics can be supported, and even middle and low-level officers can be drawn and even trained from other armies, but middle and senior generals, especially the generals at this level of the main and deputy army commanders, are quite lacking for Xuzhou.
A rough estimate shows that now the Xuzhou Army alone has five towns and seven independent town armies of the Heshuo Army and the Heshuo Army that has not yet gained jurisdiction, close to 90 armies, which also means that the number of commanders and deputy commanders needs to reach more than 180 people, and according to the convention, generals above the military commander and deputy envoy must not only be proficient in military strategic command, but also have the strength above the late stage of the Heavenly Realm, which can ensure that you can lead the army to the top at the critical moment.
Fortunately, the expansion of the Xuzhou Army was basically based on the formation of these veteran armies that received the Zhongzheng Army, the Desheng Army, the Probation Army, the Taining Army and the Pinglu Army, especially the three armies of the Probation Army, the Taining Army and the Pinglu Army, many of which were surrendered and annexed into the formation, which also ensured to a large extent that the combat effectiveness of these armies would not decline.
But even so, due to the particularity of the war, war losses were inevitable, some old, disabled, and sick generals withdrew, coupled with the large-scale expansion of the Xuzhou Army, so that the generals of this army at the level of military commanders and deputy envoys were still overstretched.
In particular, the formation of the Heshuo Army and the expansion of the Huaiyou Army and the Pinglu Army made this problem particularly prominent.
Because the Heshuo army absorbed a large number of the original Liang soldiers, they were still able to supplement the satisfaction of middle and low-level officers, but in the middle and senior generals, because of their family and honor, most of them returned to Bianliang and withdrew to Xuzhou with their families, but they did not enter the Xuzhou army.
However, because the Pinglu Army mainly gave priority to ensuring the combat effectiveness of the Ziqing Army, most of the Pinglu Army was newly built, and the difference in the number of military generals at this level was also relatively large, and the Huaiyou Army had undergone division and transfer, and the basic troops were rapidly reduced, and it was only at this time that it began to rebuild and replenish, so the shortage was also relatively large.
"The king of the county has arrived!" came the shouts of the guards outside the flower hall, and a burst of footsteps came, and everyone stood up in a hurry.
Jiang Feng changed into an official uniform, this kind of county king clothes looked a little more sophisticated, but he was not liked by Jiang Feng, he preferred to pass on some ordinary robes, but today's reception was unusual, and it had to be more formal to show respect for these people, so he also changed into official clothes.
The title of prince is going to come down soon, but it doesn't mean much to Jiang Feng, or if it is meaningful, it can only be nominal, Yang Wenchang and the party people are ready to make Chang'an in Guanzhong rumor, and the court is now also a frightened bird, and even finding a more peaceful place has become an option, I don't want to think about it, after leaving Chang'an, is this court still called the court? Is it really going to become the puppet court at the end of the Han Dynasty?
This is not what Jiang Feng cares about, he hopes that the imperial court will better hold on to Chang'an, even if it falls into the hands of Yang Wenchang, it is better than moving to his own territory.
It is estimated that the Wei Chi family will soon start to move to Xuzhou, and it depends on whether the gold merchant will intercept and make trouble.
Jiang Feng smiled all the way, greeting everyone in the flower hall, and those who didn't know him naturally had Cui Shang and Hou Chen to introduce him, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
For the willingness expressed by this group of people, Jiang Feng couldn't ask for it.
There are also a few people in it who took the initiative to invite Xuzhou.
For example, like Zhou Wang, he was Yang Pu's confidant general, but he followed Yang Pu to Chang'an to be a rich man, and soon felt that it was not what it used to be, and he was annoyed by the harassment of the children of the Nine Princes of Chang'an, and then began to harass his family, and the feeling that the fluffy phoenix was not as good as a chicken made him realize that there was no place in this world that was a happy land, so when the personnel sent by Xuzhou began to contact him, he quickly accepted the invitation and was willing to serve Jiang Feng.
In fact, now even Yang Pu has expressed to Jiang Feng that he is willing to return to the jurisdiction of the Xuzhou Governor's Mansion to settle down, of course, he is also very interested and makes it clear that he will not return to Luzhou or Yangzhou, but is willing to live in Xuzhou or Shouzhou.
For Zhou Wang's attitude, Yang Pu himself is also a strong support, in his own words, Zhou Wang is in the prime of life, can still have some achievements, why die on the bed? This also strengthened Zhou Wang's idea of returning to Xuzhou to serve his life.
Zhou Wang and Chai Yong were known as Wu Yang's left arm and right arm at that time, and even Chai Yong had to admit that Zhou Wang's military ability and martial arts level were even stronger than him, and he could be used by Zhou Wang, Jiang Feng of course smiled happily.
Another example is Shi Xu's nephew Shi Yan, who had always been Shi Xu's deputy, but later turned to travel in order to improve his martial arts strength.
Unexpectedly, Xuzhou was swept away by Huaiyou and Caizhou together, and when he came back, he couldn't do anything, so he had no choice but to follow Shi Yu to Chang'an, and he also sat in Chang'an City in this year, and became close friends with Zhou Wang.
Now that there is this opportunity, Zhou Wang also introduced Shi Qi to Xuzhou, and Xuzhou also warmly issued an invitation, and Shi Li also took advantage of the situation to return to Xuzhou.
Zhou Wang and Shi Qi not only have the strength of a small heavenly position, but also have experienced generals, of course, in Jiang Feng's eyes, these generals also have some problems with old-fashioned generals, but for this kind of generals, let them integrate into the Xuzhou military system, they will soon realize their own problems, and then take the initiative to adapt, otherwise Jiang Feng will not mind taking them again.
The others are more from the military generals family of the Liang family.
Like the descendants of Yang Shihou's family, Yang Kan is one of them, the short-eyed guy is Yang Kan's fourth uncle, Yang Houde, the fourth brother of Yang Houzhong, the head of the Yang family, is also a strong man, it turned out to be the deputy soldier and horse envoy of the Tianwu Army, defeated in the internal strife, and cast idle, this time he also took the initiative to serve Xuzhou, hoping to help his nephew, so that the Yang family can be re-included in the thriving Xuzhou gate valve system.
Another example is He Guochang, the grandson of He Gui, the backbone of the He family, who once served as the deputy soldier and horse envoy of the Crane Control Army, and also returned to Bianliang after the defeat and was idle, this time he was unwilling to be lonely and re-emerged from the mountain.
There are also such as Pang Clan, Zhang Clan, Li Clan, Liu Clan, these are the children of the Great Liang military general family, most of them have held important positions in the Great Liang Army, either they have fallen before, or they escaped when the Great Liang collapsed, all in all, this forest of more than 20 people represents such a huge group of the Great Liang military general family.
Like this group of people, there are only two heavenly powerhouses, and there are some people behind them who are observing the situation, such as at least six or seven people in the fixed period and the period of rest, and the rest of the people are all in the role of the recuperation period, for Jiang Feng, as long as he is safe in loyalty, he can be called a charcoal in the snow, and he can be assigned to the army immediately.
"Your mind is already known, the Xuzhou Governor's Mansion has not been built for a long time, but the lonely people have always been honest, the current situation in the world is scarcity, the Hu people are raging, and the chaos of the five Hu chaos is in danger of enveloping our Middle Earth, although the lonely only has his own body, but he does not dare to descend, so he hopes that there will be more people with lofty ideals to share the worries for the lonely. ”
Jiang Feng has been practicing such words for a long time, and he is really not very good at such demagogic words, so he can only make do with them.
"At present, the Great Governor's Mansion has formed five towns, and the next step is to make it clear to the imperial court, and will form a total of 26 armies in Heshuo Town and Huaizuo Town, there is nothing else here, only a passion and a good position waiting for you, as long as you can make contributions to the country, you will be the Ming court, and the court will not hesitate to reward you,......"
A lot of nonsense, the implication is nothing more than that the future is lofty and bright, everyone must recognize the situation, decisively get on the bus, otherwise the opportunity will not be lost and will not come again, nothing more.
Since these people have taken the initiative to come to Xuzhou, they naturally have some thoughts, to be a soldier to eat food, to work hard for the general, it's that simple, if you want to win a good inheritance for yourself and your family, then of course you have to show your own skills.
After showing his loyalty, Jiang Feng also smiled and comforted them one by one.
As for how these people should be arranged, it is naturally decided by the Privy Council according to the situation, but one thing is certain, except for a few people who have been approved by Jiang Feng, basically they can only go to the army to serve as deputies, and if they want to win a higher position, it depends on their performance in the war, and I believe they should also know this.
