Yang Zhen's words did not scare the people present. Besides, isn't this a joke? Who dares to leave at this time?!

First of all, who they recommended to their respective camps was carefully considered. If Yang Zhen was frightened on the first day after arriving at the Assistant Camp Affairs Office, he would go back home in despair. From now on, he would be in his respective camps.

How to mix in the camp?

Secondly, if these people just leave like this, even if they can still hang out in their previous camp, how will they be able to hang out in Songshan City in the future?

So, Yang Zhen drank tea and looked at each one, but in the end no one got up and left.

"Very good! It's good if you are prepared for this! Then I will go on! Thirdly, you must be as careful as possible! The affairs of the Assistant Camp Office are complicated. In the future, you will each be responsible for helping with the camp affairs. If you are careless, you will be careless.

no!

"The fourth is to keep your mouth shut! Keep your mouth shut. From now on, the Assistant Camp Affairs Office will be the center of our military aircraft in Songshan City. Regarding military matters, you must know what you need to know and you must ask what you need to ask. But

, those confidential things that should not be disclosed to outsiders must not be disclosed! Do you understand?!"

"Got it!"

Starting from Xia Chengde's son Xia Shu, to Zhong Lingxian, then to Li Ji, and finally to the youngest Qiu Biyong, they answered this question one after another.

Except for Li Ji, these people all grew up in the military. They have been immersed in it and understand the requirement of keeping one's mouth secret. They know what it means.

Li Ji, who was born as the head of the County Yama Kuaiban, although he had never been exposed to any confidential military information, still knew what Yang Zhen meant.

That means that when everyone arrives at the Assistant Camp Affairs Office, they will be members of the Assistant Camp Affairs Office. They will be able to access and master many confidential affairs of Songshan City, such as the number of soldiers, city defense deployment, the amount of food and grass, combat arrangements, etc.

And if you stay in the General Military Mansion for a long time in the future, you will also be exposed to a lot of Yang Zhen's personal affairs. If you can't control your mouth and go out to talk nonsense, what secrets can there be in Songshan City that the enemy doesn't know about?

?!

Of course, when Yang Zhen talked about this issue, he deliberately looked at Xia Shu's performance.

However, this Xia Shu lowered his head and was the first to answer Yang Zhen's question loudly, so that Yang Zhen could not see anything strange about his expression.

Yang Zhen emphasized several disciplinary requirements to everyone, and then told everyone some of his thoughts on the division of labor within the Assistant Battalion Affairs Office, and asked Zhang Degui to lead these people back to the Assistant Battalion Affairs Office in the front yard of the General Military Mansion.

I arranged my own office location myself.

The first thing he assigned to the Associate Camp Affairs Office after its establishment was to ask them to make a comprehensive and thorough statistics on the strength distribution of the various departments in Songshan as soon as possible.

How many men, horses, and materials each unit has, such as how many soldiers, how many old and weak, how many women and children, how many horses and boats, how many pack horses and livestock, how many grains and fodder, how many bows, crossbows, arrows, knives and spears, how many muskets, artillery projectiles, gunpowder, etc.

Yang Zhen already knew the situation of the advance battalion, but he still only had a rough idea of ​​the strength of other units. This situation must not continue.

It is said in the Art of War that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will not be in danger in a hundred battles; if you do not know the enemy but know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know the enemy and do not know yourself, you will be in danger in every battle.

In this case, the Assistant Camp Affairs Office has been established under the General Military Mansion, so the first important thing is to be a confidant, to truly understand the entire family background of Songshan City, and to truly grasp the full war potential of Songshan City.

In the past, such a thing could not be done because there were always Xia Chengde and Lu Pinqi, the two Songshan generals outside the advance battalion system, who would not cooperate, but it is different now.

Needless to say, Lu Pinqi was already considered a member of his own faction when he returned from the attack behind enemy lines.

The only one left, Xia Chengde, who had previously refused to obey, now bowed his head and submitted in public.

It is time to do this now, something that should have been done long ago, and no one will dare to openly oppose it.

Some people may have false reports or hidden ideas, but Yang Zhen believes that even if someone falsely reports or hides, they will never go too far.

Songshan City is such a big place, and Yang Zhen or the assistant camp affairs office can ask them to pull people out at any time and conduct actual inspections.

With Yang Zhen already in complete control of Songshan City, not everyone can bear such a risk.

If someone dares to do this, Yang Zhen will not mind killing a few of them when the time comes, to establish prestige for the newly established Associate Camp Affairs Office, and at the same time eliminate the hidden dangers in Songshan City in advance.

In the memory of his two lifetimes, Yang Zhen knew very well that among the remaining cities in western Liaoning, almost none of them had been conquered by the Manchu and Qing armies with swords and guns.

Not Songshan City, not Jinzhou City, not Xingshan City, including Ningyuan City, which the Ming Dynasty worked hard for many years, was not captured by the Manchu and Qing troops, but was abandoned and burned by Wu Sangui himself.

As for Shanhaiguan, which is known as the first pass in the world, that is even more true. If the Tatars are really asked to fight city after city, then let alone Chongzhen's seventeenth year, they will not be able to enter Shanhaiguan. They will be given ten years.

They may not be able to defeat it either.

Back then, Xiangyang City had blocked the Mongolian cavalry for so many years. With the terrain of Shanhaiguan and the city defense of Shanhaiguan, couldn't it still be inferior to the Xiangyang City back then?!

However, many things happened in the hands of our own people. Xia Chengde opened the door to Songshan City and surrendered, Lu Pinqi opened the door to Xingshan City and surrendered, and Zu Dashou opened the door to Jinzhou City and surrendered.

As for Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui opened the door to fight against the thieves, and personally invited Dorgon to lead an army to enter the Shanhaiguan Pass.

Even the capital of the Ming Dynasty, weren't it the eunuchs and ministers who were ordered to guard the city, opened the door to the thieves, and invited Li Zicheng and his Dashun army in?!

At present, Yang Zhen asked Zu Keyong to take his troops to the Empress' Palace, and asked Xu Changyong to take his Dongmeng miscellaneous soldiers to Rufenggang. It cannot be said that he did not have such considerations.

But if Xia Chengde and Lu Pinqi still have second thoughts about themselves in the current situation, then don't blame Yang Zhen for cleaning up all the people in Songshan City.

He has always been looking for opportunities, but he just didn't get the right time.

Nowadays, the number and quality of the men and soldiers in his advance battalion have exceeded those of Xia Chengde and Lu Pinqi, and they have a tendency to attack behind enemy lines and return with great victory. If anyone doesn't open his eyes, he is looking for death.

.

Based on Xia Chengde's performance this time, Yang Zhen should have taken the pain and killed him directly.

By doing this, Governor Fang Yizao of Liaodong would not say anything and would definitely continue to take care of him. After all, Xia Chengde's little move almost caused the Governor of Liaodong to capsize too.

As for the soldiers of Yang Zhen's advance battalion, it goes without saying that they will definitely support him in doing so.

It's a pity that as a modern man, he couldn't make up his mind to be non-toxic and husbandless. Xia Chengde's sincere expression of his devotion gave him a chance to surrender.

But this time, asking the Associate Camp Affairs Office to statistically verify the strength of each ministry's troops was another direct test for the generals of each ministry, and also a test for Xia Chengde, who had just expressed his allegiance.

If this time when calculating the strength of various departments, he falsely reports or conceals the situation, or stands up to stir up trouble, then Yang Zhen will never be polite to him anymore.

When the time comes, call him to the General Military Mansion, or lead the musketeers directly into his camp, shoot him to death, and then convict him of disobeying orders and cheating on rewards. The hidden dangers within the Xiaoqiang of Songshan City will also be

It was completely eradicated.

At the same time, the first task assigned to the Assistant Battalion Affairs Office was also intended to test the newly recruited young generals to see if they could pass the test after defeating the Assistant Battalion Affairs Office.

.

If you pass the test, you can assign more important things. If you don't pass the test, call back immediately and choose again.

Especially for Li Ji, the former county yamen fast team leader, Yang Zhen specially picked Li Ji out from under Jin Shijun and put him in the associate camp affairs office. Of course, he was not asked to just do statistics on the strength of various departments.

What Yang Zhen actually wanted him to do was the detective work that he was good at since he was born in a government office, patrol operations, detention and torture, etc.

However, such matters are of vital importance to Yang Zhen and to Songshan City, so the candidates must be chosen with caution.

But for Li Ji, Yang Zhen didn't dare to completely trust him suddenly, so for now, he would give it a try at the Associate Operations Office and take a look.
Chapter completed!
