Throughout March, all Anqing Guard prefectures were extremely busy. Recruitment was in full swing. As the highest military and political officer, Liu Yi assigned tasks to government offices at all levels and detailed the recruitment tasks to each county in each prefecture.

The magistrate of the prefecture cooperated with the officers of Qingyi Army to carry out the work. After Liu Yi handed over the task, he rushed to Anqing Guard to meet with the group of officers left by Long Zongwu. Several of these people had already

Following Long Zong

Wu was transferred to Ren. Shen Yongmao was very thoughtful. He knew that if the New Army wanted to develop, there would definitely be many positions that needed to be filled. This would give the officers of the New Army a chance to develop. If Long Zongwu's group stayed here, there would definitely be no benefit. Liu

Yi is sure

They will be squeezed out everywhere, and the new army and the old army will not be integrated after all. Simply transfer Long Zongwu's group of people who can be transferred away, so as to avoid some unpleasant things happening and spreading to the ears of Mr. Ge. It is not that he applied for

Can't you use Mao to get things done?

In fact, this is because Shen Yongmao judged a gentleman with a villain's heart, and Liu Yi was not that mean. Liu Yi, the people left behind by Long Zongwu, could still eat them up, but he would not let them serve in the new army.

, the original old army Liu Yi is preparing to disband on a large scale, these old, weak and sick

It is useless to keep them, but it is impossible to abolish them all in one go. If the news reaches the ears of Jin Yiwei and reports to the court, it will arouse suspicion and be detrimental to the development of the new army, so Liu Yi decided to retain some of the original army soldiers.

, only select the strong ones, the others

The old and the weak let them go back to farm to make a living. Anyway, these people had no intention of becoming soldiers. Keeping them would require military pay, which would increase the burden in vain. As for the issue of deregistration of military households, they could only ask Zhou Zhihan to help mediate at the South Zhili Military Headquarters.

2. Fortunately, the entire Anqing Guard's troops and horses were combined.

Not many. Originally there were 5,600 people in the general camp, but due to the problem of short quotas, Long Zongwu actually only had more than 4,000 men. After selecting 2,000 soldiers and horses capable of fighting, the remaining military households were only 2,000.

The number of people coming is just the number of people who usually take up the empty quota of the guards, so it is easier to handle.

Liu Yi took a hundred personal guards and rushed to Anqing Prefecture. Although the command department has been moved to Taiping Prefecture, Anqing Prefecture is located in the north of the Yangtze River and borders Luzhou Prefecture. Its geographical location determines that if Anqing Prefecture is lost, the New Army will be destroyed.

The main force may not arrive in time, so Liu Yi transferred all the 2,000 old troops after selection to Anqing Mansion, and also let Long

The two comrades left behind by Zong Wu have a place to play. Coupled with a militia division after the formation of the army, the eight thousand troops stationed in Anqing Mansion should be able to protect the north of the Yangtze River, and Anqing Mansion can serve as the entire Anqing Guard.

The bridgehead was defended by eight thousand men and horses waiting for reinforcements. The main force of the Qingyi Army could advance, attack, retreat or defend. The importance of Anqing Prefecture is self-evident.

"Here comes the general!" the guard at the door yelled, and the original commander made the door of the Si Yamen open with a crash. Liu Yi and the hundreds of accompanying guards dismounted at the same time. Most of the people were waiting outside. Only Liu Yi and his four relatives

The soldiers walked up the steps. The Anqing Guard commander Tongzhi Yi Jiang, the commander Huang Yu, and the commander Zeng Wei had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time. There were also officials at all levels behind them. They saw the young Liu Yi walking like a dragon and a tiger.

of

When he came in, although everyone knew Liu Yi to some extent, especially Huang Yu and others, they were old acquaintances of him, but after not seeing each other for several years, Liu Yi was no longer the little boss of Taiping Mansion.

The position of the envoy has jumped to that of the Anqing Guard General Commander. He can be regarded as a powerful local military leader. If he takes another step up, he will be the deputy commander-in-chief of Nanzhili. How can the authority in his hands be the same?

And words.

Everyone knelt down on one knee at the same time, raised their fists with both hands high above their heads and said, "See the Commander!" Huang Yu quietly raised his head and glanced at Liu Yi, his heart filled with shock. Although he saw a young face,

But there was no trace of the overflowing joy on Liu Yi's face that a young man suddenly ascended to a high position.

But a calm expression, even a little gloomy. In fact, this really can't be blamed on Liu Yi. How could Liu Yi be unhappy, especially since he has been a man for two generations. To put it bluntly, he is just a student in the Republic. If he is based on his current situation,

If Qing Yi's army is planned to be built into a force of 30,000 people, then he will be a soldier in the Republic.

Commander, and the commander of the main field army. It was impossible for a twenty-year-old young man to be the commander of the army in the Republic. But Liu Yi did it in the Ming Dynasty. To say that he was not excited at all or proud at all was definitely not the case.

It’s a lie. It’s just that Liu Yi has been thinking about too many things recently, and he was still thinking about expanding the army on the way here.

What happened was that he didn't even notice Huang Yu kneeling in front of him, or he was negligent. He didn't react until everyone greeted him, and he immediately changed his color and walked up to Yi Jiang at the head of the row with a smile on his face.

He held him up and said: "General Yi, please get up, all the generals, please get up, you're welcome, you're welcome, haha."

Yi Jiang stood up and Liu Yi looked at him. He was a middle-aged man in his forties. When Long Zongwu was in the top spot, Yi Jiang had been the second in command. There was no war in South Zhili. During the Southeast War, Yi Jiang stood up.

Yi Jiang didn't go to the event with Long Zongwu either.

, like an invisible man, with no achievements or faults. Of course, this is due to Nan Zhili's long life, but as a soldier, if he has not fought for many years, his sense of smell and alert mind on the battlefield will deteriorate. This is not a

Good thing. The person behind is none other than Huang Yu and Liu

Yi naturally lifted him up, and the imagined scene of old acquaintances meeting did not appear. Liu Yi is now the commander, and Huang Yu is the commander. There is a difference between the two of them. Liu Yi cannot be in front of Yi Jiang.

Talking about the old relationship with Huang Yu in front of others is a taboo in official circles, and also

This would make Yi Jiang feel uncomfortable. He had the idea that Huang Yu would replace him. So Liu Yi just greeted Huang Yu politely and then went to greet others. After greeting the others one by one, everyone gathered around

Liu Yi entered the lobby together.

"Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general. The general is still young but has already made great achievements in the Ming army. He has conquered the country from north to south and won thousands of miles. Who in the army does not know that the new army fought against the captives in the capital and went deep into Ji Town to inflict heavy losses on Manchuria and Mongolia. It is really incredible.

The Huo Huqi of the Han Dynasty is also a horse." Unexpectedly, although Yi Jiang is already in his forties, he has been honing his skills in the officialdom for many years.

He was born as a warrior, but he is really smooth-talking. In a few words, he put the high hats on Liu Yi's head one by one, and even brought out Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty, right? Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty

Even at the age of 20, he dared to raid the Huns' tent with ten thousand men and light cavalry, and beat them to a complete defeat, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made him a hussar general.

"General Yi is so ridiculous. It's all the soldiers of the three armies who have sacrificed their lives. It's not my fault alone. This time, I have been trusted by the Holy Emperor and all the adults in the court to promote me to the commander of the Anqing Guard General. Liu deserves it, but the emperor's order

It's hard to violate it, since it's holy

The imperial court handed over this three-quarter acre of land to Liu. Then Liu will do his best to train a strong new army for the imperial court. In the future, he can go north to fight against the rebels and protect his family and country." Liu Yi waved his hand.

Said to Yi Jiang who bowed his head.

"Your Excellency is very righteous, I admire you. I admire you, sir. Don't worry, I will definitely cooperate with you to complete your important task. If you don't comply, please ask your Majesty to handle the military affairs." Huang Yu immediately stood up and answered. His statement made everyone praise him.

They all knelt down and said, "We are all willing to obey your orders. If there is any disobedience, military law will be enforced!"

"Okay! Okay! Okay! Everyone, please get up, please get up!" Liu Yi immediately stood up and said politely. "I, Liu Yi, are young, and sometimes my style of speaking and doing things may be a bit radical. After all, the New Army suffered heavy losses in this attack. In a short time,

I'm afraid we won't be able to regain our strength within the time, and the training of the new army is very time-intensive and the tasks are heavy. We need to devote ourselves wholeheartedly to it. This time Liu Yi is here to tell you some recent major decisions." Everyone stood up and sat down again.

Listen to Liu Yi's lecture.

"First, the acropolis of Anqing Guard will be moved to Taiping Mansion." "Ah? What?" Everyone was in an uproar when Liu Yi said this. They actually wanted to move the acropolis. Then wouldn't everyone have to go to Taiping Mansion in the future?

The office is open, but Anqing Fucheng has always been the acropolis of Anqing Wei. Would it be bad if it was suddenly moved? Everyone was still thinking about these issues, and they suddenly

I heard Liu Yi say: "But everyone still has to stay and garrison in Anqing Fucheng. I will abolish half of the old army of Anqing Guard, and the remaining half will continue to garrison Anqing Fucheng, and the Qingyi Army and Militia Corps will also be established in Anqing Fucheng. I have decided

Wang Hao, Qing Yi Army Qian Commander of Taiping Prefecture, was transferred to lead this militia group. As for the number of people in the militia group, it was initially set at 6,000 people."

Everyone's brains are no longer enough, and information that subverts traditional cognition rushes into their brains one after another. Do they still want to stay in Anqing? Why not go to Taiping? Doesn't that mean they are far away from the center of power? What does Liu Yi mean by doing this?

The emperor and his courtiers,

Will he marginalize Long Zongwu's people when he takes office? There are also militiamen, 6,000 people? What a joke, half of the old army has been abolished, they themselves can't afford to pay, and there are 6,000 Qingyi Army and Militia Corps

, then who do you think this group of people is, are they here to match?

Liu Yi looked at the uncertain faces of these people and knew what they were thinking in their hearts. It was just his little ninety-nine. Liu Yi didn't want to explain too much to them. The new army will definitely replace the old warlords. This is history.

The wave, those who cannot adapt to this wave

People will eventually be eliminated. It would be good if they can actively integrate into the Qing Yi Army, but if they can't, the final outcome will be elimination. Only Huang Yu in the crowd was slightly calmer. He and Liu Yi are old acquaintances, and looked at Liu Yi.

Yi stepped up to his current high position step by step. He

Knowing that everything about Liu Yi lies in a new word. New military system, new ideas, new troops, everything is new. Presumably the emperor and the court are tired of the old army and want to use the new army to break the Ming army.

fixed pattern, so knowledgeable people in the DPRK must

However, he fully supports the New Army. His group of people currently has no value to Liu Yi. If he still wants to continue working, he can only adapt to Liu Yi instead of letting Liu Yi accommodate them. Think about it, he is the first

He stood up and said: "I will obey the general's orders!"

If someone takes the lead, things will be easier to handle. Everyone also knows that when a new official takes office, he must give him this face. Otherwise, it will be difficult to do it in the future. So they all expressed their obedience. Liu Yi is also a person who accepts when he sees good things.

The top secret of leadership is to have a certain amount of control. To put it bluntly, it is

Give a date with a stick, but you can't always give dates, and you can't always give a stick. These people lost their way of making money due to the reorganization of the old army, so Liu Yi will give them a new way of making money. As long as they are obedient, money will definitely be better than empty pay.
