For this young man named Li Hongji, Lu Xiangsheng still admires it very much. Good martial arts, fine cavalry and shooting, flexible mind, a good soldier, and will definitely be able to take charge of himself in time. Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng was able to overcome public opinion and appointed Li Hongji as the garrison of Xingshan Fort. Although Xingshan Fort is not large, it has a population of more than 10,000 people, and it is one of the more than a dozen castles in Gongwei Ningyuan, which is very important.

I don't know how His Majesty learned Li Hongji's name, and the edict sent asked Li Hongji to go to the northwest to assist Jinyiwei in dealing with the rebellious army that fled into Mongolia. To be honest, Lu Xiangsheng was a little reluctant to let go.

But now there is something more important, and Lu Xiangsheng quickly left Li Hongji behind.

"Commander Xu, the handover is quite smooth, right?" Lu Xiangsheng asked calmly.

Xu Xianchun nodded slightly: "Xie Jing is slightly worried, everything is fine." ”

Lu Xiangsheng carefully looked at Xu Xianchun's face, but he couldn't see anything abnormal, so he smiled and said: "With the assistance of Commander Xu, the things that Your Majesty has explained can be completed as soon as possible." ”

The former commander of Jinyiwei Tian Ergeng made great contributions in the battle of Liaodong, and the emperor issued an order to recall Tian Ergeng back to Beijing to serve as the governor of Jinyiwei, while Xu Xianchun, the commander of Jinyiwei, was transferred to Liaoxi, which is equivalent to swapping positions with Tian Ergeng. The land of western Liaoning is naturally not as good as Beijing City, and Xu Xianchun's transfer here is tantamount to depreciation, and Lu Xiangsheng is worried that this guy will be dissatisfied and miss a big deal. It's okay now, I don't see anything abnormal about Xu Xianchun.

Looking at Lu Xiangsheng's inquiring gaze, Xu Xianchun's expression was calm, he knew what Lu Xiangsheng was worried about, but he didn't want to explain.

was driven to Liaodong from the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and in the eyes of outsiders, it was naturally a distribution, but Xu Xianchun didn't think so, because the emperor called him into the palace before leaving and said the reason.

"Tian Ergeng has made a great contribution and has to be rewarded, but I want you to go to Liaoxi not to make room for Tian Ergeng, but to have a more important task! When the Praetorian Guard was first established, you were an instructor in Xiyuan, Zhang Shize's gang of nobles, and Cao Bianjiao's gang of martial arts warriors were trained by you. In the Jinyi Guard, no one knows the Praetorian Guard system better than you, and Cao Bianjiao and they don't dare to be disrespectful to you!

Xu Xianchun, you are going to Liaoxi, firstly, as a supervising army, to monitor the entire Liaoxi army for me, and then to cooperate with Lu Xiangsheng to complete the rectification of Liaoxi Town. In this respect, you are more suitable than Tian Ergeng. After rectifying Liaoxi, the next is Jizhen, Xuanda, Ningxia, and Gansu, and the entire nine sides must be completely rectified according to the model of the Praetorian Guard! I want to completely change the rotten military system of the border army! ”

Thinking about what the emperor said to himself before leaving, a smile appeared on the corner of Xu Xianchun's mouth, the emperor handed over such an important matter to himself, which meant how much trust he had in himself. With the emperor's trust, what is the commander of the Jinyi Guard?

"After a while, the generals are all here." A Chinese soldier walked in and reported to Lu Xiangsheng.

"Let's go, let's go to the lobby." Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile.

"Your Excellency, please." Xu Xianchun hurriedly said.

"Meet the Lord Jinglue!" In the lobby of the Chinese army, Lu Xiangsheng sat in the handsome position, and Xu Xianchun, who was sent by the emperor to supervise the army, sat on one side.

All the generals saluted at the same time.

"Sit down." Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand, and the generals sat down in unison.

The hall is divided into two rows on the left and right, on the left sit Zhang Cunren, He Kegang, Zu Dashou and other seven or eight generals, all of whom are the original generals of the Liao Army, and on the right are Zhang Shize, Cao Bianjiao, Huang Degong and others, all of whom were born in the Praetorian Guard.

Those who can sit in the hall are all at the post of deputy chief soldier or above, and the generals are not qualified for guerrillas.

Originally, there were far more generals above the deputy general in the Liaoxi Army than now, but in the past war, except for Cao Wenzhao and Zhao Shujiao, the other generals performed poorly, especially in the battle of Yongping Mansion, only more than 10,000 Liao soldiers remained in the last 40,000 Liao soldiers, and several generals died on the spot, and some abandoned the army and fled. All those who fled were severely punished, so that only these people were left.

To tell the truth, although this battle did not take place in western Liaoning, the Liao soldiers suffered great losses, but the results were not very good. And now, Sun Chuanting, the governor of Liaodong, has been transferred away and replaced by Lu Xiang who has been promoted to Liaodong Economic Strategy, and the morale of these Liao generals is quite low.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are two things that have been summoned to you today, one is to readjust the defense area of western Liaoning, and the other is to rectify the affairs of Liaozhen." Lu Xiangsheng didn't talk nonsense, and said directly.

The generals of the Liao army sitting on the left side suddenly looked at each other, and their hearts beat drums. Adjusting the defense zone means moving the position of these people.

The Praetorian Guard generals on the right were expressionless and listened intently.

"In the battle of Liaodong, our army recaptured Liaonan, Kuandian, Phoenix, and Zhenjiang Fort, and formed a three-sided encirclement of Jiannu. In this battle, our army invaded Jianzhou, went deep into the city of Shenyang, rescued hundreds of thousands of Liao people, killed 200,000 captured Jiannu people, and now Jiannu has not posed a threat to the Ming Dynasty, and now our army and Jiannu are attacking and defending, so the original Liaodong defense needs to be adjusted. Lu Xiangsheng continued.

"With the consent of His Majesty, I have decided to divide Liaoxi into three major defense regions, one is Guangning, the second is Jinzhou, and the third is Ningyuan, and appoint a general soldier to guard it." Speaking of this, Lu Xiangsheng listened, and his eyes roamed over the faces of the generals.

Guangning, that is, Guangningwei, is the area between the northeast of Jinzhou and the Liaohe River, the area should account for half of the entire western Liaoning, this area is open, there is no danger to defend, since the fall of Liaodong fell into the battlefield between Jiannu and the Ming army, the Ming army can not hold this plain area, so it retreated to the Jinzhou line. The area became a buffer zone between the Ming army and the Jiannu, but many Mongols crossed the border wall and haunted the area. Now that the population of Jiannu has dropped sharply, although Huang Taiji still has 20,000 or 30,000 elite bannermen in his hands, he is unable to attack the Ming Dynasty again, Lu Xiangsheng naturally wants to restore Guangningwei, at least there is no problem in placing tens of thousands of people in this area.

With Lu Xiangsheng's words, all the generals in the hall were breathing heavily, and they all looked at Lu Xiangsheng with hope, and they all wanted to fight for one of the positions of chief soldier.

He Kegang and Zu Dashou glanced at each other, and both shook their heads slightly, knowing that this good thing might not be the turn of the generals of Liaoxi.

"Cao Bianjiao is the general soldier of Guangning, Zhang Shize is the general soldier of Jinzhou, and Huang Degong is the general soldier of Ningyuan." Sure enough, Lu Xiangsheng's next words confirmed their guess.

"Lord Jingluo, this is not appropriate." Before He Kegang and Zu Dashou could speak, Zhang Cunren stood up and hugged his fists, "General Ning Yuan was originally Ding Liaobo, but now you have given it to others, what should I do with Ding Liaobo?" ”
