Just when Meng Qiaofang led his army to Changyi, Yang Chengying finally arrived at Ningyuan City, which he had been looking forward to for a long time.

The generals of the Guanning Army were all excited.

When they saw the first division that had opened from their own territory, the formation, the artillery, they were really envious of others.

Since the killing of Inspector Yuan, the Guanning army has also broken off their thoughts and is at ease to be the Liaodong Army.

They all came out of the city to welcome Yang Chengying.

He Kegang, Zuo Liangyu, Cao Wenzhao, Huang Degong and other generals stepped forward to greet them.

When they arrived at the conference hall, the long-awaited generals of the Guan Ning Army stood up one after another, watching Yang Chengying walk to the handsome position.

"Please sit down." Yang Chengying should be the first to take a seat.

The generals then sat down.

"Actually, I've wanted to fly here for a long time, but I'm so busy with business that I can't get out of it."

Yang Chengying said: "In addition, I am also thinking that everyone in Guan Ningjun is not afraid that they will be forced to leave the army if they fail the physical examination. ”

There are many examples of this kind of thing causing trouble.

"Dashuai, I've already thought about it." He Kegang clenched his fists to Yang Chengying, and then looked at the generals: "They are all ready, as long as they live a stable life, it doesn't matter if they don't become soldiers." ”

"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who leaves the army and doesn't care about you. At the time of discharge, sufficient money is paid in accordance with the discharge regulations. ”

Yang Chengying said: "Those who retire can go home to farm, or work in the mines, or do small business according to their wishes.

In addition, some literate people can serve as small flags, general flags or hundreds of households to manage civil affairs. ”

"Thank you for being so thoughtful."

Zuo Liangyu got up, clenched his fists and said, "Dashuai, you can announce the reorganization plan." ”

"Okay."

According to the plan, Yang Chengying planned to reorganize the joint battalion of the Guanning Army into three parts, totaling six battalions, according to the special terrain of western Liaoning.

These three parts are Jinzhou, Ningyuan and Qiantunwei.

Each part has a training camp to practice infantry and cavalry artillery, and it can be used directly when the cannon arrives.

Three more garrison battalions were set up, with their headquarters in three cities, responsible for the outer defense line from the front guard to Jinzhou.

The six battalions are equipped with numbers, equipment, etc., according to the standards of the division.

Three of the training battalions are subject to compulsory military service, and only recruits are recruited for further training.

In addition, a baggage battalion was set up to be responsible for building weapons and other logistics.

That is to say, there are more than 20,000 of the 60,000 Guanning troops, and they are facing the problem of being discharged.

Yang Chengying's purpose is very clear, Guan Ningjun is a knife but it is only a knife.

And what he needs is not just a knife, but a large and sophisticated machine.

"Instructors in the new barracks, I will be transferred from other corps."

Yang Chengying said: "The selected soldiers and newly recruited soldiers are subject to the training regulations I have set, which have been implemented for many years. ”

As soon as he raised his hand, Zu Zehong took out a copy of the regulations and read it out.

When many Guan Ning army generals heard this, their hearts trembled slightly.

It is said that the Jinzhou Army is strict in governing the army and has high requirements. I didn't believe it before, but now I really feel it.

"If you don't have any opinions, let's start a new round of general appointments." Yang Chengying said and took out a letter of appointment.

The generals trembled and began to get nervous.

But when they listened, they breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, except for some generals, such as Liu Liangzuo and the like, who began to mix during the period of Governor Yuan, the other generals were not demoted.

At the same time, they were also shocked by Yang Chengying's ability to collect intelligence, and recorded in detail what you did before and after the Guanning Army.

The commanders of the three garrison battalions are Zuo Liangyu, the general of the Jinzhou garrison, He Kegang, the general of the Ningyuan garrison, and Cao Wenzhao, the general of the right garrison.

They all hold the rank of commander.

Huang Degong, a general of a baggage battalion, is a deputy commander-in-chief.

Below the garrison generals, the adjutant generals of each regiment are interesting.

Basically, the veteran generals were all stuffed under He Kegang's command. The arrangement that is closer to the Jinzhou Army is in the right tunwei, and the neutral arrangement is in Jinzhou.

At the same time, the military-political divestment. It is no longer necessary to engage in civilian households or military households in western Liaoning, but only to specify who is in charge of the area.

The families of the soldiers are regulated by the local authorities, and the generals have no right to interfere.

The former deputy commander in charge of administration was Yang Chengying's old subordinate Xu Shang. Ning Yuanwei's is Su Xiaojing, and Jinzhou's is Han Yunchao.

They have all been discharged from the military and transferred to administrative staff.

In addition, precious metals such as copper ore are owned by Liaodong Town.

Yang Chengying set up a copper mining bureau and a mint in Ningyuan, and small paper money could be replaced with copper coins to reduce wear and tear during transportation.

This factory, Yang Chengying handed it over to Zuo Yingxuan.

At the beginning, Zuo Ying chose to guard Xia Changli, but he did not receive a single reward, and was dismissed because he offended Zhou Yanru.

So he came to Liaodong.

"The reason why I eliminated a large number of soldiers like this is also to resume production as soon as possible."

Yang Chengying sighed: "After such a long period of war in western Liaoning, the people need to farm and live a stable life. But the population is limited, so it has to be done. ”

"Dashuai is dedicated to the country, and for our way out, we fully support."

He Kegang knew that this matter was difficult to do, so he stood up and made a statement.

"I'm not going to leave right away, I'm just going to patrol the neighborhood and see what's going on here."

Yang Chengying nodded, grateful for his support.

Without the help of these people, the difficulties can be imagined.

As soon as the reorganization order was issued, it caused an uproar for a short time.

However, with the strong support of the generals of the Guanning Army, the disarmament and resettlement to the local area did not cause major chaos.

In addition, a large amount of money and grain was shipped, which fulfilled the promise made by Yang Chengying at the beginning.

Recruits are also being recruited, and everything is in order.

After experiencing an initial discomfort, many veterans quickly adjust to life.

Looking at the long-lost smiles on the faces of these soldiers, Yang Chengying's heart was also settled.

At this point, the Guanning Army ceased to exist, and only the first battalion and other armies under the command of the Liaodong Army were stationed.

However, it will take some time to get used to it.

Yang Chengying also stayed in Ningyuan, and waited until the envoys of the Li Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom came, and then went back.

Soon, Meng Qiaofang led the first division to Changyi.

Due to the special terrain in this area, a light rain suddenly fell in early April, and then the temperature plummeted.

This is colder than Meng Qiaofang imagined, and I am afraid it will be much colder.

In Changyi City, Meng Qiaofang rubbed his hands and sat by the stove, and said while roasting the fire: "This is really a hell of a life, the grass is covered with frost in the morning, and it is colder than the current Liaodong." ”

"According to the locals, it's called 'changing face'. Every year in March and April, I have to change my face once or even several times. ”

Ma Guangyuan had just returned, and his cheeks were red from the cold.

"There's going to be a meeting later, I'll go later. You and Liu Jianjun continue to buy firewood to heat the soldiers and people. ”

Meng Qiaofang commanded.

"It's good, I'm afraid that the time will be too long and the money won't be enough."

Ma Guangyuan's meaning was very clear, and asked Meng Qiaofang to take precautions and ask for money at the meeting.

Not really bad money.

"Okay, I'll mention it for sure."

Before leaving, Meng Qiaofang got Yang Shuai's permission that as long as he did not violate the military order, it was okay to benefit the brothers.

The bamboo poles of the imperial court do not knock white.
