After occupying Xingan, Mo Qian immediately called Cheng Zhidun, who was in charge of transporting grain and grass in Anfu, to Xingan County.

As soon as Cheng Zhidun arrived in Xingan, he first congratulated Mo Qian on his victory, and also brought 10,000 stones of grain and grass.

Mo Qian saw the 10,000 stones of grain and grass brought by Cheng Zhidun, and he was so happy in his heart.

He took Cheng Zhidun's hand and said, "Urging Ke is really my Xiao He!" ”

"The lord praised it falsely, how can I compare to Xiao Xiangguo, who left a name in history, I just did my own thing."

Mo Qian nodded with satisfaction, and he said, "I called you this time, first, I want to meet you, and second, I want to introduce a respected person to you." ”

Cheng Zhidun was interested when he heard it, and he asked curiously, "Oh? Who is it? ”

Mo Qian led Cheng Zhidun to the county hall and pointed to Li Banghua who was writing: "Just him." ”

Cheng Zhidun glanced at Li Banghua and couldn't help asking, "Who is this?" ”

"His background is not small, he was the right attendant of the military department in the first year of Chongzhen, and later added the military department book, but it didn't take long for him to be dismissed."

When Cheng Zhidun heard this, he was immediately surprised, and he didn't expect that this person was actually a member of the imperial court.

He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply to Li Banghua and said: "Li Gong, I have heard of the name for a long time, Cheng Zhidun, the former magistrate of Pingxiang, I have seen Li Gong!" ”

Li Banghua had also gotten up at this time, he glanced at Cheng Zhidun, and couldn't help but nodded.

"It turns out that you are the Cheng Zhixian who 'died for the country', I heard that you have died in the chaos, but I didn't expect you to become this kid's adviser!"

Mo Qian couldn't help but smile awkwardly and explained: "Gong Li, this is also the student's helplessness, the family of the department is still here, if I don't send some fake news out, I'm afraid that his family has already been beheaded by the imperial court!" ”

Li Banghua nodded with satisfaction, Mo Qian did the right thing in this regard, his current territory is too small, and the officials who threw himself are all in other provinces, if he doesn't change his appearance, I'm afraid that his relatives and friends in his hometown will have to be arrested by the imperial court and beheaded.

After the three of them were introduced, they sat down separately, and Mo Qian told the two of them his idea of promoting the generals.

The total number of troops under his command reached an unprecedented 18,000 people, so many people, plus more than 1,000 regular soldiers who watched the family in Yuanzhou, he almost had the strength of two divisions in later generations.

Eighteen thousand, and the number of officers above 1,000 is only six.

In addition to Lu Zhao, the general who is now stationing troops in Taihe in the south, Yi Chenggui, Yi Jiu, Peng Jinhong, Yi Dayong, and Niu Ji are all generals at the level of deputy general of Qian.

Obviously, it is not enough to rely on these six people to command an army of 18,000 people, and a group of backbone generals must be promoted quickly.

Except for the two cousins Lu Zhao and Peng Jinhong in Taihe, Mo Qian gathered all the officers of more than 100 households in the Xingan Army.

In the lobby of the Xingan County Ya, Mo Qian took the credit book to check the merits of everyone.

The officers all knew that the king was going to promote everyone, and they were very excited outside the county office, and the most excited among them were Yi Jiu and Yi Dayong.

Both of them are buddies in the same village, and since the rebellion with King Mo, this battle has become more and more enjoyable, and the officials are getting bigger and bigger.

A year ago, they were just mud legs in the fields, but a year later, they became high-ranking generals of the rebel army.

This time, the king wants to promote the generals, and the two of them are already thousands of general positions, how can they not be at the level of the entire general this time.

Mo Qian calculated that his current army was basically less than 20,000 horses, and he was ready to establish a complete command system for the righteous army.

The army, only when the command system is perfect, can give full play to its maximum combat effectiveness, otherwise, even if it is a 100,000-strong army, when there is no complete command system, it will be a plate of scattered sand.

Mo Qian first asked Li Banghua and said: "Li Gong, the number of our army has reached 20,000, and there is too much shortage of middle and senior generals in the army today, I want to re-establish the general system, what does Li Gong think?" ”

Li Banghua touched his long beard, nodded and said, "It should be like this, what kind of military system does the lord plan to adopt?" ”

Mo Qian said: "I plan to divide the 20,000 army into two battalions, each battalion leads 10,000 soldiers, the battalion commander is one general soldier, one deputy chief soldier, and 1,000 soldiers directly under the general army, as the chief soldier's own soldiers.

The remaining 9,000 people are divided into three brigades, and then there are three brigade commanders and generals, each brigade has 3,000 troops, a total of three thousand, and a hundred households, flag teams, squadrons, and squads. ”

Li Banghua smiled and nodded, and said: "This method is very good, each team and each brigade only needs to be responsible to the superior officer, so that the battalion commander and the general army command the troops is extremely convenient, which is a good method."

But at this time, Cheng Zhidun on the side asked: "Lord, the soldiers are easy to integrate, but how do you plan to arrange the selection of officials?" ”

Cheng Zhidun's words got to the point, he is Mo Qian's current Minister of the Interior, and he still knows a lot about the situation in the army.

Mo Qian's current generals except for Qian Dayou, who surrendered halfway, the rest of the generals are all rebelling with him in Yuanzhou, if the two general soldiers are served by the veterans, it will inevitably cause the forces in the army to be Yuanzhou faction, and it is easy to get out of Shantouism.

Mo Qian naturally took this into consideration, he picked up a list on the case and handed it to Cheng Zhidun and said, "Urging Ke, what do you think of my arrangement?" ”

Cheng Zhidun took the list and looked at it, only to see the names of four people written in the general column.

The chief soldier of the first battalion is Lu Zhao, the deputy chief soldier is Peng Jinhong, the chief soldier of the second battalion is Mo Qian, and the deputy chief soldier Qian Xiao.

Cheng Zhidun asked puzzledly: "I agree with this Lu Zhao, he is a good hand at fighting, and he is a veteran who raises troops with you, so it is natural to be a general soldier."

But who is this Qian Xiao? ”

Mo Qian explained to him: "Qian Xiao is Qian Dayou, this person is a superb martial artist, and he is also a military officer, and he is the one who attacked Luling and took the city that day."

He led 3,000 troops, set off from Yongxin, ran 200 miles overnight, and took Luling City in one fell swoop, which made my Eastern Expedition have such a good situation, it can be said that his merit is not lower than the rest of the generals.

In addition, this person is a native of Nanzhili, his home is in Dantu, yesterday, I deliberately thought of a new name for him, called Qian Xiao, so that the court does not know his details, and his relatives in Dantu's hometown can not be implicated.

Moreover, he is not from Yuanzhou, and he can't pee in the same pot with those old brothers in Yuanzhou on weekdays. ”

Li Banghua next to him couldn't help but nodded approvingly, and he praised Mo Qian appreciatively: "At a young age, you can already know the art of balance, it's not simple, okay, let's promote them according to the names on this list!" ”

Cheng Zhidun also agreed when he heard it, if an army is all a faction, the threat to the commander is undoubtedly huge.

Mo Qian's arrangement is reasonable, and now that the rebel army is not particularly huge, and it is still in the early stage, this arrangement is undoubtedly the best.

Mo Qian saw that both of them agreed with his opinion, so he was no longer entangled, he sat down on the main seat, and shouted to the soldiers outside the door: "Order, all the generals will go to the court!" ”

"The king has an order, and all the generals will go to the court!"

A group of thousands of households entered the county hall in an orderly manner, each with a smile on their faces, and everyone was half excited and half nervous.

I was excited because I was about to be promoted, and I was nervous because I was afraid that I would not be on the promotion list.

There were more than 30 people attending the court this time, of which the smallest officers were all starting from 100 households, and the largest was more than 1000 households.

After the generals entered the lobby, they saluted in unison: "See the king!" ”

Mo Qian waved his hand to signal everyone to get up, he took the list and got up and said, "From today on, you don't call me the king anymore!" ”

"If you don't call the king, then what do we call the king?" A hundred households stood up and asked.

"Call me Dashuai, from today on, I am still the supreme commander of our righteous army, and the officers and men of the three armies must obey my orders, and they are not allowed to call me the king in the future, they all have to call me Dashuai."

"Yes, Dashuai!" The generals shouted in unison.

"Also, from today onwards, there is no kneeling ceremony in the army, all the officers are not allowed to kneel when they see their superiors, and the civil officials are also not allowed to kneel, and they don't have to kneel when they see me.

Also, the people are not allowed to bow down and worship, just bow their hands, do you hear clearly? ”

This order was a bit of a surprise to everyone.

Yi Dayong stood up even more puzzled and said: "King, we have been kneeling for decades, this is suddenly not allowed to kneel, will we not be used to it?" ”

Mo Qian pointed at him and scolded: "What did you say just now, you said that you are not allowed to be called the king, call me handsome, and I will tell you not to kneel in the future, you kid have to kneel, are you itching on the bones in your knees?" I tell you, this is my military order, whoever dares to disobey will be dealt with by military law, and will be punished with twenty lashes, if I let me know which of you dares to let your subordinates kneel and kowtow to you, I don't care whether he is a general or a general, all of them will be pushed to the end, and I will not tolerate it! ”

The generals saw that Mo Qian's tone was serious, not like a joke, and they couldn't help but keep this in their hearts.

Mo Qian and the others had almost digested it, and he continued: "Now, this commander wants to announce one thing, that is, we are now the righteous army has grown, and there are 20,000 soldiers and horses in the army, so many soldiers and horses, I can't command it alone, so this commander has decided to formulate a new army system and implement a new officer rank." ”

The generals are talking to each other again, the new military system, the new officers, this thing is a bit new.

Mo Qian handed the list to Cheng Zhidun, who was at the head of the list, and said to him: "Urging Ke, please help me announce the list of people!" ”

"Yes, Dashuai!"

Cheng Zhidun picked up the list, stood under the case in the lobby and began to read it.

"The commander has an order, the whole army is divided into two battalions, the battalion commander is the general soldier, the first battalion commander Lu Zhao, and the deputy chief soldier Peng Jinhong. There are three brigades under it, each brigade commander will be a general, a battalion and a brigade will be a general, a battalion and a brigade will be Yi Dayong, a second brigade will be Yi Chenggui, and the third brigade will be concurrently served by Peng Jinhong, deputy commander-in-chief.

The general soldier of the second battalion was personally in charge of the commander, and the deputy chief soldier Qian Xiao ....."
