Li Jiangyao walked around the Shuizhai camp and chatted with different officers and soldiers, and roughly summed up the problems in four aspects: the morale of the regiment was low, the warships and equipment were outdated, the command system was chaotic, and the many numbers were not subordinate to each other.

The first two questions are well understood. The imperial court was short of money, and it cut out more than 1,000 warships, many of which were old ships that had served for a long time on the other side of the Jinhe River.

The tattered weapons, coupled with the sluggishness of the soldiers one by one, said to be the main fleet of the Holy Tang Dynasty, which is not as good as the cards of the pirates of the open sea.

What surprised Li Jiangyao even more were the latter two questions.

Strictly speaking, two issues can actually be seen as one. The naval fleet in front of us is not a unified whole, but is composed of six independent units: Jinhe Garrison Battalion, Jingxiang Naval Division, Luoyi Naval Division, Caoyun Patrol Battalion, Binzhou Naval Division, and Yanwutang Naval Division.

The Jinhe garrison battalion is a regular army guarding the Jinhe water system, and it is said to be a battalion, but in fact, it has ten directly subordinate detachments, with the most warships and the strongest strength. Mao Kaijie, the commander of the naval army who died in the previous battle, was the commander of the Jinhe garrison battalion.

The Jingxiang Water Division, the Luoyi Water Division, and the Binzhou Water Division are all second-level local water warfare troops, especially the Luoyi Water Division, which was formed by Murong Xue on order, and lacks experience and combat power.

The Caoyun patrol camp is even more crotch-pulling. They were not considered an army at all, but were responsible for maintaining law and order on the canal and the wharves along the coast, and inspecting smuggling and tax evasion.

The Naval Section of Yanwutang has just been incorporated into the fleet. They took the imperial capital Yanwutang sailors and martial arts students as the backbone, and equipped some warships and soldiers, which can be regarded as a force close to specialization, but unfortunately the number of troops is relatively small.

Six teams, each with its own affiliation. Some obey the arrangements of the Ministry of War, some obey the dispatch of the Governor's Office, and some are paid by the Ministry of Households.

Such a fleet, still want to win the war? Hit the hammer!

Li Jiangyao felt the pulse of the imperial army and immediately made a decision: seize the time and solve two things first, one is to unify the command system, and the other is to boost morale.

He called the six housekeepers to the handsome tent overnight and put forward his own ideas.

"What? Reorganization? As soon as Li Jiangyao finished speaking, Sun Chen, the commander of the Caoyun patrol battalion, immediately quit: "Governor, before we came, Zuo Xiang had a special explanation that the patrol battalion was a member of the household department and could participate in the war, but it was impossible to be reorganized. ”

Huo Rulun, the staff general of the Binzhou Navy Division, also snorted: "At present, the most important thing is to prepare for the enemy, and suddenly break up the formation, which is tantamount to self-chaos. ”

"Uh...... Governor, can the matter of reorganization be discussed later? Let's get some better ships first. Cao Xun, the commander of the Jingxiang Water Division, also joined in the fun.

Li Jiangyao nodded and asked the others, "What are your opinions?" ”

Luoyi Naval Division, Commander Guan Sanxing, said loudly: "General Murong has explained before that he wants to be humbled by Li Dudu, and we will do whatever you say." ”

The head of the Jinhe garrison camp, Gu Hongjiang, the deputy governor, also said: "The imperial court sent the governor to preside over the overall situation, so it is naturally at your disposal. ”

Yang Li, the sailor science instructor of Yanwutang, did not say a word and remained silent.

Li Jiangyao saw that no one spoke anymore, and smiled faintly: "Time is pressing, I don't have time to grind my teeth with you, and finally ask again, who agrees?" Who is against? ”

"I'm against it!" "Against reorganization!" "Can you take another look, don't worry."

The three men were still stubborn and did not agree to move their troops.

Li Jiangyao's eyes gradually became cold, but his face was still smiling: "You really don't know where I come from?" Under the rule of Ben Shuai, the three-foot military law, there is never a living person who disobeys! ”

"Where is the white-robed army?!"

"In!"

"Tie up Sun Chen, Huo Rulun, and Cao Xun to me, and behead me for disobeying military orders!"

With an order, the ghost-faced white-robed army that had been preparing for a long time rushed into the tent and directly tied up the three guys who opposed Li Jiangyao.

"Li Jiangyao! How daring! Sun Chen kept shouting: "I am Lord Wei Zixuan's personal soldier!" How dare you! ”

Li Jiangyao laughed: "I came here just to lead the navy army to win the battle!" Don't say that you are just Wei Zixuan's personal soldier, even if Wei Zixuan himself dares to delay my armament for battle, he will die! Fork out! ”

Sun Chen and Huo Rulun still wanted to roar, but the white-robed army shot extremely hard, slamming two punches, making them burst out of their mouths and noses, and they couldn't make a sound anymore.

Cao Xun was completely frightened, and begged for mercy even after a while, and was also hit on his knee by the white-robed military photo who was holding him, and suddenly fainted.

The three men were dragged out of the tent like dead dogs, and they clicked and cut off their heads in front of the officers and soldiers of the battalion.

Gu Hongjiang has been a soldier all his life, and he has never seen this kind of scene, and he suddenly felt cold sweat, and secretly called luck in his heart: Fortunately, I didn't follow the confusion just now, otherwise this guy who eats will not be able to keep it. General Li looked gentle and gentle, but he didn't expect that he was actually a killing god, no wonder even the Turks were afraid of him.

Yang Li, a sailor science instructor, suddenly said at this time: "The Metropolitan Governor, after beheading the three leading officers, you should prevent his subordinates from making trouble and mutiny. ”

Li Jiangyao glanced at him lightly, and said with a smile: "Since Yang Jiaoxi is worried about this, then please go and suppress it a little, and by the way, complete the reorganization plan that Ben Shuai just had." Assign you 3,000 white robes, whoever dares to make trouble, will be killed. ”

"It's good that the Governor of the Metropolitan can trust his humble position," Yang Li replied without being humble or arrogant: "I can only take the people from my headquarters there." Tomorrow morning, I will give you my life! ”

With that, Yang Li gave a military salute and turned around and walked out of the big tent.

Li Jiangyao looked at his back, and a smile appeared on his face: "Jiangmen Huzi is worthy of his name." ”

Gu Hongjiang was slightly stunned: "Jiangmen Huzi? You say Yang Li? ”

"What? Don't you know? Li Jiangyao said: "He is the third son of Yang Xingtai, the capital of Liaodong, who likes to drive boats and boats and train sailors since he was a child, and finally became the teacher of the imperial capital Yanwutang, a veritable general." ”

Gu Hongjiang said with admiration: "Oh, I haven't worked with him for a short time, but I didn't know that he was the son of Yang Daduhu." Governor, you are still powerful, and you have a really good grasp of the situation. ”

Li Jiangyao smiled secretly in his heart: Old man, do you really think I cut people indiscriminately? The Intelligence Department had already ascertained for me that Sun Chen was Wei Zixuan's confidant, Huo Rulun was Yin Chengyi's old department, and Cao Xun was Gong Chengze's brother. If they don't jump today, maybe they can live a few more days, jump out and blow up the thorns, just to bring the sacrificial flag, and save me trouble later.

The white-robed army had already monitored the three men and horses in advance, and they were not afraid of them messing around at all.

However, of course, this kind of thing can't be clarified with his subordinates, so Li Jiangyao took the posture of the governor of the navy and the army, and said solemnly: "General Gu, General Guan, you are all loyal to the monarch, patriotic, and understand the importance of unified orders. Without this thunderbolt, I really can't lead the navy to defeat the enemy. ”

Gu Hongjiang nodded again and again: "The Metropolitan Governor is extremely right!" When we fought a decisive battle with Bao Yuchun in Jingxiang Waterway, it was precisely because everyone was not convinced by each other and no one refused to obey orders that it led to successive defeats and caused Mao Dadu to be defeated and martyred. ”

Guan Sanxing said in a deep voice: "This time it's finally good!" The Metropolitan Governor, the three provinces admire you from the bottom of their hearts, and they are decisive and unambiguous! ”

"You two also work hard," Li Jiangyao saw that the two of them were quite well-behaved, and ordered loudly: "Reorganize overnight, break up the troops according to my strategy, reorganize, and listen to my appointment and arrangement early tomorrow morning!" ”

"Yes!" Gu Hongjiang and Guan San Province responded in unison.

At dawn the next day, after tossing all night in the naval army, Dazhai was in a hustle and bustle, and more than 46,000 sailors gathered on the military field to listen to the orders of the governor.

Last night, three generals were killed in a row, which deeply shocked everyone's heart.

No matter whose subordinates it was, they all suddenly remembered an important thing at this time: the young commander standing in front of them had swept hundreds of thousands of Turkic iron horsemen, and even Ashina's Jin was defeated in his hands!

He's a thunderbolt in his own right!

And the fierce warriors in white cloaks around them are the ghost-faced white-robed soldiers of Megatron.

Do you want to make trouble? Do you dare to rebel? They have 10,000 elites, and they can directly slaughter all 40,000 people here!

Under this powerful deterrent, Sun Chen and the three of them died in vain when they died, and no one dared to stand up for them.

Li Jiangyao felt very satisfied with the heartfelt fear of the sailors. He instructed Wang Wenlie to read out the reorganization plan in public.

Forty-six thousand soldiers and horses were redivided into four flags, each with 11,000 men, each equipped with 200 ships. There were two thousand men and twenty-four large ships left, which were responsible for the operation and guarding the supply and baggage.

Wang Wenlie, Gu Hongjiang, Guan Sanxing, and Yang Li respectively commanded the First Banner Water Division.

The 10,000 ghost-faced white-robed troops were divided into three teams. a team to guard the commander and administer military law; The first team was responsible for defending the Shuizhai Military Fort; The last team acts as an assault force, ready to go into battle at any time.

The 50 Kunpeng officers who came with Li Jiangyao were scattered among the four banners and served as the commanders of each battalion and team, and at the same time trained the non-commissioned officers.

As the original establishment was completely dismantled, the complex factions were immediately wiped out. All the people were clearly told that from now on there would be only one voice and one order for the whole army. Those who kill the enemy will be rewarded and rewarded; Those who disobey the cowards will be killed!

Forty-six thousand sailors knelt on one knee and shouted in unison, and no one dared to have a different heart.

Li Jiangyao looked at the navy kneeling in front of him, and secretly thought in his heart: The reorganization matter can be regarded as a successful completion of the first step. The next step is to quickly rebuild the confidence of the army, restore high morale, and consolidate its authority.

There is no other way to regain confidence but to rely on the blood of the enemy!
