Ying Chong was very interested in this private army under his control, but after taking a look at the reorganization plan that several people came up with, he wisely ignored it. Only in advance of the next event, continue to ask the second sister Xuanniang to preside.

There are nearly 600 vacant officer names on it, and the various affairs behind it are also extremely cumbersome. changed to other seasons, and Ying Chong was still interested in rectifying it himself. But now is the time when the foundation is created, and there are many affairs, where does he have the heart to take care of these?

And what is the use of His Majesty's military department and the Privy Council? It is precisely because of many things that the emperor cannot be busy alone, so he has to find help.

However, he was more fortunate than the Heavenly Saint Emperor, and now those members of the Privy Council were selfish and unwilling to be loyal to the country. And most of the few of him here are frank gentlemen. As for Ying Xuanniang, it is impossible to betray him. With these four people, they will definitely be able to use the meritocracy.

And then there is the training of the five towns in the back, if it is really up to him, it will really kill him. It is just right for this matter to be handed over to Ying Xuanniang, anyway, his second sister, since the exoneration of the 'post', the court has not given an explanation. Whether he will continue to stay in the post of town guard on the right side of the Dingwu Army, or whether he will be appointed separately, he has never given a definite answer. Before the Heavenly Saint Emperor settled the military department and the Privy Council, this second sister happened to come to work as a coolie for him.

It's just that Ying Xuanniang heard it, but she was slightly surprised: "These things, Brother Chong, do you really want to hand them over to me?"

She thought that Ying Chong would come forward in person in the latter part, so the list of 800 officers would be mostly vacant.

After all, this is the foundation of An Guoying's family, and she is unwilling to overstep her bounds.

"Is the second sister unwilling?"

Ying Chong smiled bitterly, with a look of helplessness in his eyes: "The younger brother has just arrived, and he is not familiar with the situation in the towns in the army, and he doesn't know who is virtuous and who is stupid. You can't let my little brother and me blindfold and arbitrarily appoint military positions?"

Then he looked solemn and saluted the four people: "As far as my father knows, now the upper reaches of the Yangjiang River have broken seven embankments, flooding 470,000 hectares of fertile land, making the people of Yuanning, Hebei and the three states of Yuanning, Hebei and the people boiling, and there are Maitreya sects demagoguery. It is estimated that in another ten days, someone in the north will rise up. The so-called heart of guarding against people is indispensable, and the division of the five towns of our Anguo Mansion must form a combat force within a month to prevent accidents. This duke, please leave it to you!"

Ying Xuanniang felt reasonable at the beginning, and was almost fooled. But then after thinking about it for a while, thinking of Ying Chong's temperament all along, he already understood, and then glared at Ying Chong fiercely.

thought that her younger brother was too lazy to this point. In the future, can you really inherit my father's prestige on the battlefield? Don't be beaten to tears.

However, although she hated in her heart, she still couldn't withstand Ying Chong's pleading gaze after all, so she snorted easily, and still agreed.

And although Yang Ye and the two of them were surprised, since the lord asked for it so solemnly, they could only agree. Only Wang Meng looked at this one coldly, and laughed in his heart. What kind of character is Ying Chong. Only from the fact that he served as the general of the fifth town of the Shence Army, but he did not step into the military camp for several months, it can be seen that the clue can be seen.

It's something that disgusts him, it's too lazy.

And after these people left, Guo Jia smiled and saluted Yingchong: "Lord Guogong knows people well, and he is not suspicious of employing people, and the students admire them." ”

Ying Chong was slightly surprised when he heard this: "Could it be that Mr. Guo, don't you think that my father is lazy?"

Even Ying Xuanniang, who knew him best, thought he was too lazy just now.

Guo Jia didn't answer and asked: "Based on the students' guess, Lord Guogong, you don't seem to be good at governing the army?"

Ying Chong looked at the gods, and then looked embarrassed, looking left and right with his eyes wandering,

Thinking that this guy is really treacherous, he tried hard to hide it, but he was still seen.

If he only commanded one or two thousand soldiers, he could still do his best. But when the number rose to 30,000, he was at a loss, and he didn't know where to start.

"It's right to think about it, although the Lord Guogong has an outstanding art of war, he has never really commanded a soldier. Over the years, it is also a matter of course that he has not been in contact with the soldiers and is not good at controlling the army. Therefore, students admire Guogong, have self-knowledge, and can learn from others' strengths and make up for their own shortcomings. And with a discerning eye, you can recognize people. That Yang Ye planted the teacher, and the students didn't know what they would do in the future, but now they are dedicated to the public and are all credible people. ”

Guo Jia smiled, thinking to himself that his junior brother Wang Meng, although he was quite disgusted with Ying Chong's actions just now, he was very satisfied with the candidate entrusted by Ying Chong to be in charge of the whole army.

And Ying Chong has a little more benefit, and he is not nepotistic. seems to be that Zhang Yi, who has followed Ying Chong for four years, can be said to be the most trusted person around him. But this time he was slapped by Ying Xuanniang, Zhang Yi only served as a brigade commander in the army, but Ying Chong had no objections.

There are also four Fu Ruyi, except for Ying Fu, although the other three were also arranged by Ying Xuanniang to join the army, they only served as the deputy of the first guard. Just because of these four, none of them really has the experience of leading an army alone.

If someone else sees it, they will definitely be dissatisfied, but this prince didn't care at all, and obviously recognized Ying Xuanniang's decision.

can promote strengths and avoid weaknesses, rewards and punishments are clear, appoint people on the basis of merit, with such a lord, what more can a husband ask for?

"However, in the opinion of fairness, the prince still needs to be in the army. For this Xie County family, leave some steps to enter the body. It is his duty for the students to recommend the soldiers to join the military to participate in this matter and to reorganize the armament for war. ”

Ying Chong frowned, thinking that with the second sister's personality, he would only devote himself to him, and promote the most suitable and loyal candidates to him, and would never care about their background and court. But if you add a Fang Jie, then the relationship between the Fang family and the Wuyang family will inevitably be open for the children of the family in the army. This is exactly what he desperately repels.

wanted to refuse, but Ying Chong immediately saw the persistence in Guo Jia's eyes. After thinking about it for a while, Ying Chong finally agreed: "Then according to Mr. Guo's words." ”

Thinking that the second sister was there, Fang Jie was afraid that he wouldn't dare to say anything during the whole process. And if he has any dirty work temporarily, or if there is a suitable person who wants to be promoted, it will only be more convenient to pass through Fang Jie, and it is also a kind of check and balance and supervision for Yang Ye and others.

※※※※

In the early morning of the second day, Guo Jia took Guan Erqi and others to release the shipowner, and as a close adviser of Anguo Mansion, he went to visit the families along the coast on his behalf.

Since nine years ago, with the help of the rise of Yingshentong, the Wuyang Ying clan defeated the Li family in Dinghe and became the head of the Wanzhou world. In the past few years, the affairs of Jingning in Yangjiang River have always been presided over by the head of the Wuyang Ying family, while the rest of the families have sat on the ground to share the spoils. Each 'contracted' a section of the river, suppressed the local demons and evil people, and then divided the money from the Ying clan.

And now, it's just a change of 'alliance leader' who presides over the river, and instead takes money from the hands of Anguo Mansion.

Ying Chong didn't think that these world lords would continue to be loyal to Wuyang Ying, and with Guo Jia's eloquence, it was enough to convince the most stubborn.

-- If there are really people who are stubborn, they will be the target of Yingchong's killing of chickens and monkeys.

He had to thank Ying Qiji, the only Dinghe Li family that had some competitiveness in this regard, was chased and beaten by the Wuyang Ying clan, and was almost disabled. In the past few years, he has not recovered his vitality, and he is **** wounded, and he is not qualified to jump out to compete with him for the time being.

And after Guo Jia left, Ying Chong himself was also not idle. He also had things to do, and no one else could do these two things except him.

The first is to recruit Li Xiaoxian, the peerless talent of the Feixian Cave of Huiyuan Mountain, and the second is to block the river. Among them, the latter is the most important.

Ying Chong first asked these five machine ships to be slightly modified, and put a full 500 100-ox crossbows and 1000-ox crossbows on the ship. Then the next day, he lined up all five boats on the Yangjiang River, blatantly blocked the river, and collected money to buy the road.

Naturally, Anguo Mansion is by no means a bandit and robber, so this 'road money' has a pretty nice name, called 'escort fee'.

The name used by Ying Chong is also righteous and awe-inspiring. The day before yesterday, there were important criminals in Yangjiang in the imperial court, and one of the nine great cowards showed up. In order to arrest this person, Yangjiang was specially cordoned off in order to search for this criminal.

In addition, now the displaced people everywhere are in trouble, the number of water bandits in the river is growing day by day, and there are water demons as troubles, which makes the Wanzhou river unquiet and needs to be clean.

For the sake of the lives of the past merchants, the Anguo Mansion temporarily blocked all the upstream and downstream merchant ships here, and waited for the ferocious slaughter of thousands of birds, and the Wanzhou River was cleared, and after the safety along the way, it was released.

Naturally, if someone is willing to donate a thousand taels of silver to support the righteous deeds of the Anguo Mansion, they will receive a special gold-crowned Xuanniao flag from them. Then along the river in Wanzhou, Anguo Mansion can ensure that the whole process is escorted and the road is safe.

At this time, the water of Yangjiang has shown a hint, and the turbulence of the water is several times faster than in the past, but with the current Mojia technique combined with the immortal method, it is natural to make the five boats stop on the river safely and steadily, not disturbed by the turbulence.

In addition, Ying Chong pulled up more than a dozen chains with the thickness of a water tank, which were horizontal on the river, which was enough to block the wide river more than 1,000 zhang and block the water. Only two entrances and exits, one on the left and one on the right, were left for the passage of those ships who had bought the golden-crowned Xuanniao flag.

Then, within two days, thousands of cargo ships were blocked on the upper and lower reaches of the river. Some people were in a hurry, so they directly bought their golden-crowned Xuanniao flag and were released by the Anguo government. But there are many more people who are not willing to pay this money.

Some are not at ease, they haven't heard of Ying Chong's reputation, and some have already paid Wu Yang Ying before, and they don't want to pay more.

Ying Chong ignored all of them, without the special golden-crowned Xuanniao Banner made by their Anguo Mansion, no one would want to pass through him.

He was secretly surprised in his heart, it seems that this time Wuyang Ying's family collected a lot of 'taxes' in advance. In other words, at this time, the money in Wuyang Ying's hand has greatly exceeded his expectations. (To be continued.) )
