The main generals of the four armies of Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu remain unchanged, and they are still Dadao Guan Sheng, Leopard Head Lin Chong, Iron Rod Luan Tingyu and Flower Monk Lu Zhishen. However, the following lieutenant generals and partial generals have changed greatly.

The left lang of the Qinglong Army will be Dadao Wenda, and the right lang will be Hao Siwen of Jing Mu.

Wen Dayuan was a deputy general of the Xuanwu Army, and he was also an officer, with a bold temperament and brave combat.

Zhu Long was worried that he and Guan Sheng would fight over the right to use the nickname "Big Knife", but the two became more attached to each other and exchanged knife skills with each other.

It seems that he is a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Hao Siwen is Guan Sheng's sworn brother, although in the master Zhu Jiajun, his force value is not very outstanding, but he is quite strategic, wise and brave.

Of course, Zhu Long's promotion of him, to a large extent, was also due to the factor of Guan Sheng, if the two of them matched, they would definitely cooperate tacitly.

And the fierce and fearless Wenda is responsible for charging into battle.

In addition, the two brothers Dang Shiying and Dang Shixiong, the third elder of the Zeng family, Zeng Suo, and the fifth Zeng Sheng, all served as partial generals in the Qinglong Army and led the cavalry captain.

The party brothers are all first-class masters, Zeng Suo and Zeng Suo are also brave generals, such a configuration, the Qinglong Army is really luxurious and powerful!

……

The promotion of the double whip Hu Yanzhuo from the deputy general of the White Tiger Army to the general of the Right Feather of the Guards Army was a great improvement for him, and being able to rank with the patriarch Qin Ming also showed Zhu Long's trust in him.

In fact, Zhu Long always wanted to reuse Hu Yanzhuo, but he was not at ease with him, until he captured Gao Yu alive and completely offended Emperor Daojun, he dared to boldly promote him, put it by his side, and regarded him as a wing.

After he left, Zhu Long first transferred Zeng Tu, the boss of the Zeng family, to serve as the left general to replace his vacancy, and then promoted Ou Peng to the right general.

There are only two generals, Zhou Ang and Ma Lin. They were also cavalry captains.

This is already a great improvement for Zeng Tu. In Qianji Battalion, he is just a battalion lieutenant, and there are Zeng Rong and Su Ding on it, one is the father and the other is the master, who held him down steadily, but he did all the dirty work.

As the eldest brother of the Zeng family's five tigers, his martial arts are also the strongest, and he once tied with the golden gun Xu Ning.

Ou Peng is a veteran of Zhujiazhuang, and he also made the historical mistake of privately releasing Song Jiang, but in Zhu Long's opinion, this also shows that he is a loyal and righteous person.

Later, he has been working hard, and has worked under Zhu Hu, Sun Li, and Lu Zhishen, all of which are to preside over the overall work of these hands-off shopkeepers until the White Tiger Army is transferred.

His performance, Zhu Long sees it in his eyes, his ability is also outstanding, and he works hard, there is no reason not to promote him.

Zhou Ang, a partial general, is a new general, and he has not completely turned around in his thinking, unlike Qiu Yue, who quickly changed his role and adapted to his new identity.

Such a person, Zhu Long gave birth to a little appreciation.

Compared to the Blue Dragon Army, the configuration of the White Tiger Army is much weaker.

The personnel of the Suzaku Army changed the least, Zhang Qingshui was promoted to the general of the left lang to Qucheng, and Su Ding was transferred to serve as the general of the right lang.

Su Ding's martial arts are very strong, and in the battle of Baimayuan, he and Hu Yanzhuo were evenly matched.

The partial generals include Qiu Yue, Li Yun and Deng Fei, and the three of them also serve as cavalry captains.

The situation of the Xuanwu Army is somewhat special, it is a double main general, Lu Zhishen is the left general, and Wu Song is the right general.

This is Lu Zhishen's own plan, and Zhu Long agreed to it after considering the actual situation.

In addition, there are Liu Tang, Lei Heng, Bao Xu, and Shi En, four partial generals, except for Shi En, the other three are very brave.

In the Zhulong plan, the Xuanwu Army is to build a hoplite corps, several generals are only good at foot combat, and only the main general Lu Zhishen is an amphibious general who can walk and ride.

This time, more than 3,000 war horses were captured, plus 1,000 horses from the Qianji battalion, a total of 4,000 war horses.

Zhulong did not distribute it equally, but gave 2,000 to the Qinglong Army and 1,000 to the Vermilion Bird Army, and the Xuanwu Army also reduced 500 cavalry, leaving only 500 cavalry to serve as scouts and transmit information.

In this way, the Qinglong Army had 3,000 cavalry, the Vermilion Bird Army had 2,000 cavalry, the White Tiger Army had 1,000 cavalry, and the Xuanwu Army had 500 cavalry.

Forced by the shortage of war horses, Zhu Long could only arm the White Tiger Army into heavy infantry.

Originally, he wanted to build the Qinglong and White Tiger armies into ironclad cavalry and serve as the main force to attack and break the formation, and the Suzaku Army into light cavalry, responsible for long-distance roundabout attacks.

However, first, there is a scarcity of war horses, and the conditions do not allow it, and second, that kind of assumption is only on paper and does not conform to the actual situation on the battlefield.

The four main forces will all be large corps in charge of themselves, and they must be mixed arms, but the focus and advantages are different.

Pure cavalry and pure infantry are not enough, you have to be like the Guards, there are heavy cavalry, cuirassiers, light cavalry, heavy infantry with spear and plate armor, and light infantry can climb mountains and wade through water.

The best war horses were given to the dragoons, even if there was a great shortage of horses, Zhu Long still promised to let them ride two horses, and this expansion of five hundred people would occupy a thousand good horses.

In this way, the Guards only expanded by five hundred cavalry, for a total of two thousand five hundred cavalry, seven hundred and fifty infantry, and the ratio of infantry to cavalry was 3:1.

This made Zhu Long miss Shi Xiu very much, and the war horses of the Zhu family army were counting on him.

The Great Song Dynasty himself didn't have many war horses, so how could he always expect to capture them. And the cavalry can't beat and run, unless all of them are forced to surrender, it is difficult to capture.

The garrison battalion skipped the "division" and was directly promoted to the garrison army, and the garrison general was naturally Chen Shou.

Now Chen Shou not only has 6,000 soldiers under his command, but also Yang Xiong, Huang Xin, Han Tao, Peng Xi, and Cao Zheng, and he is no longer a bare-bones commander.

It took a month to study and make a decision, and when you are really transferred to the post, you only need to announce it at the meeting, and that night, you will have a casual drink or a meal, and the next day the generals will all arrive at their posts.

On the third day, it was announced that there would be personnel changes for middle-level officers at the rank of lieutenant and battalion lieutenant, and of course, most of them would be promotions and salary increases, because the ranks had expanded, and more posts had been vacated.

Then the commanders of each army appoint the low-level officers of the "capital head" and below, and Zhu Long will give the appointment power to the commanders of each army, and he only needs to report to him.

In this way, the skeleton of the army is built, and then it is only necessary to replenish the soldiers.

It's just that the size of the army has expanded dramatically, which has seriously affected its combat effectiveness, and it will take a period of running-in and adjustment before it can restore its combat effectiveness.

But to get back to the way it was before, it will take at least a few months of training and an essential fight.

The naval army and the garrison army have doubled in strength, unlike the four main forces, which have expanded by four times at once, so the combat effectiveness of these two armies has been maintained the best.

As soon as the expansion of the army was over, Zhu Long arranged a task for Zhu Biao - to blockade Caoyun!

On the surface, this is Zhu Long's revenge on the imperial court.

In fact, Zhu Long wanted to force the imperial court to recruit peace.

The four Cao Yun of the Great Song Dynasty, the one in the south of the Yangtze River has been broken by Fang La, and the one in Shandong is broken again, and the finances of the Great Song Dynasty, which were already worse, are on the verge of collapse.

The Song Dynasty was a strange dynasty, and it has always pursued spending money to buy peace, and if it can use money to settle troubles, it will definitely use money.

For Liao, the tribute to the Western Xia is naturally no longer a problem, and even the same is true for the country.

Every famine year, the imperial court has to recruit soldiers, recruit the strong and strong of those displaced people into the army, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled will not pose a threat.

In this way, "redundant soldiers" appeared.

As early as the time of Song Renzong, the finances of the Great Song Dynasty began to be in a hurry, and the most direct purpose of the Qingli New Deal and Wang Anshi's reform was to make money.

It is precisely because of this that the emperor desperately supports it, after all, the court has no money, who is the most bitter? It's the Emperor!

The emperor is the boss, the ministers are just working, there is no money in the company's account, only the boss is the most anxious, the wage earner is a big deal, go home to farm, anyway, there are thousands of acres of fertile land in his hometown.

After Wang Anshi's reforms, Song Shenzong became rich, and even his two sons Zhezong and Huizong took possession of the light and inherited a large inheritance, which led to a series of victories such as the opening of the Huanghe River, the recovery of the four states of Qingtang, and the suppression of Western Xia.

As a result, Emperor Daojun, a loser, forgot the hardships of the first emperor, pretended to be old and middle-aged, extravagant and erosive, not only exhausted the treasury, but even Jiangnan, an important financial and tax area, was made by him to boil the people's resentment and wolf smoke.

This is why Emperor Daojun reused Cai Jing, because Cai Jing can make money!

However, Cai Jing is not a politician like Wang Anshi and Zhang Juzheng, through reform, he has increased state taxes in a dignified manner, he plundered the wealth of the people through various despicable and illegal means, causing many rich businessmen to go bankrupt and jump to their deaths, and the people are miserable.

Even if Cai Jing unscrupulously made money, the finances of the Great Song Dynasty would not be able to make ends meet.

If Zhulong blocked the Guangji River, the main artery that transported wealth to Tokyo, the salaries of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty would not be paid.

It's July, and when the peasants harvest their grain and pay their summer taxes, the local commissioners have to transport the money and grain to Tokyo.

At this time, Zhu Long wants to jump out and cut off his beard!

This is Zhu Long's killer feature!

has been busy with the expansion of the army, and finally has a little leisure, so Zhu Long has time to deal with other things.

In the council hall, he invited Zeng Rong, who was in charge of money and food.

Zeng Rong was followed by two people, one was his second son Zeng Mi, and the other was his deputy Jiang Jing.

Jiang Jing is a good hand at accounting, and the accounts are beautifully done, but it is limited to that.

He doesn't know enough about money, doesn't see the big picture, and lacks experience in management and operations.

Zeng Lane went from having nothing to being rich enough to rival the country, and he was the best at management, he would not only spend money, but also find ways to make money.

He is not like the three envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, who has no money and spreads it out with both hands, and makes a report to ask the emperor to reduce expenses.

I can't do it!

Without money, his first reaction was how to make money, in his opinion, this is his duty, crying to Zhulong is poor, that is a manifestation of incompetence.

He thought that Zhu Long summoned him over to ask how many families Zhujiazhuang still had.

In fact, the family background is not bad, if it were not for the expansion of so many troops at once, it would be able to last at least three or two years, and now there are 55,000 troops, more than 10,000 war horses, as well as family members, craftsmen, livestock, poultry, and nearly 60,000 prisoners.

Zhujiazhuang's food can only last for less than eight months.

Because after the victory of the war, the three armies were rewarded, and there was not much silver and cloth left in the treasury, and the total value was only 800,000 yuan, which sounds like a lot, but in fact, it is only four months of basic silver.

Although the money and food are urgent, Zeng Lane is not worried, first, he has already figured out a way to make money, and second, Zhu Biao goes to block Caoyun, it must be a bumper harvest!

He typed the draft, and just waited for Zhu Long to ask, and he talked eloquently, but the first sentence Zhu Long opened his mouth was:

"Elder Zeng, do you have a way to buy a war horse from the Northland?"
