After Zhang Jie and others walked out of Huang Degong's tent, they still felt like they were dreaming and could not understand it at all.

"What do you think about this? Marquis... Well, the uncle has been appointed as the state of regent. Not only has he been awarded no reward, but he has to be demoted to the title of the uncle?" Zhang Jie asked.

Xu Chong scratched his head and said, "Hao... Master Bo will not say anything? He has not made any contributions to the regent, and the Marquis is a Hongguang triumph, so it doesn't count."

"Bad!" Zhang Jie obviously disagreed with this statement and said, "At the time, the Marquis... Bo Ye was promoted to the title of Marquis just to support King Fu. Now that he defected to that princess, shouldn't he be promoted to the title of Princess again?"

Chen Xiance said: "I think it's probably because the princess has an army, so she doesn't care about our uncle."

Zhang Jie looked at the sails on the river and said, "It's really possible that this is the reason... Brothers, do you think we should do something and let the princess know what we are important?"

Qiu Yue and Chen Xiance were quite moved when they heard this.

Ma Degong glanced at Xu Chong and said, "Since my uncle has been appointed as the governor, we should do our work honestly and not think about anything we shouldn't think about."

Zhang Jie understood Ma Degong's idea in seconds - Ma Degong was not not interested in making trouble, but reminded Xu Chong to be present.

Xu Chong is Huang Degong's loyalty. If he heard that they were going to cause trouble, he would definitely report it to Huang Degong.

So Zhang Jie immediately followed Ma Degong's words and said, "Yes, Brother Ma is right, then let's go back to the camp first."

After saying that, Qiu Yue winked at Chen Xianshu and left first.

In addition to Xu Chong, Ma Degong and the other two exchanged their eyes and returned to the camp...

afternoon.

Huang Fei came to Digang and went to the imperial boat to meet Zhu Mai with Huang Degong.

Regarding Huang Fei, Zhu Mai didn't get the third company, but just showed him the Chongzhen's will.

With Huang Degong as a guarantee, just showing the will is enough to win Huang Fei's heart.

Afterwards, Zhu Mai asked the two to participate in the military meeting.

However, when Huang Degong was alone, Huang Fei couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that there was only a female general next to him and no one else arrived.

I thought to myself, why are there only two of us in this military conference? Could it be that there are no other generals under Princess Kunxing?

It shouldn't be. If there were so many warships and soldiers, how could the princess command it alone?

Just when the two were confused, they saw the female official bringing a delicate wooden box and opening it.

The two of them couldn't see what was inside, and they didn't dare to go over and look.

Zhu Mai took out the things inside and said, "This is the walkie-talkie brought by me from later generations. This thing can be transmitted within ten miles."

Transmitting sound within ten miles?

Huang Degong, Huang Fei was stunned when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but think: Isn't this a treasure of the immortal family?

Zhu Meiyu did not explain in detail, but pressed a button and put the walkie-talkie back into the box, saying, "Mr. Hongying, Yang Zhan, Liu Wenxiu, etc."

"I'm here."

Zhu Ma Sui told the four people to hold a military meeting, and the four people were basically carrying the intercoms with them, so they were naturally there at this time.

Huang Degong, Huang Fei suddenly heard a sound from the box, but was shocked.

If Zhu Ma hadn't introduced the walkie-talkie in advance, Huang Degong would have shouted "protected the driver".

Although the two of them restrained themselves and did not show any abnormalities, they still looked at Zhu Mai, and their faces were still red.

Fortunately, both of them were black and they couldn't tell if they blushed.

"What the military meeting today wants to discuss is the matter of 'passing Nanjing and helping Yangzhou'."

Zhu Mei spoke again and finalized the issue of the military meeting.

As a general, Erhuang immediately turned his attention to this issue.

Huang Degong frowned and said, "Nanjing is downstream. If you can get there in one day, how can the supervisor say 'pass Nanjing and help Yangzhou'? Should I pass Nanjing and not enter?"

Huang Fei couldn't help but persuade: "Since the state of governor is subject to the will of the late emperor, he is orthodox. He will take over Nanjing as soon as possible, and get rid of the pseudo-Emperor Emperor's name, and make things right to calm people's hearts!"

Zhu Ma said: "I must go to Nanjing, but after entering Nanjing, there will be many things to do, and it will not be possible to handle it in a short time.

As far as our palace knows, Duoduo, the pseudo Qing Dynasty prince, has led a large army to Xuhuai from Shandong.

Whether it is Liu Zeqing or Li Chengdong from the former Gao Jie team, it may be difficult to resist, and may even fall in love with the wind.

Therefore, I think that the most important thing is to go north to Huaiyang to resist the Qing army.

As for Nanjing, we will send a group of soldiers to watch first, so as not to cause chaos in Nanjing. What do you think?"

Huang Degong said: "If the Qing army really went south, it should indeed resist the Qing army first. As long as reliable troops are sent to guard the city gate and city walls, there will be no problem."

According to Zhu Ma, it is not entirely not to leave Nanjing aside.

Therefore, Huang Fei thought about it and said, "As long as the troops are sufficient, such arrangements will naturally be appropriate."

It is easy to enter Nanjing, but it is difficult to stabilize Nanjing.

If the Qing army was left alone and only focused on entering Nanjing, it would be very likely that the Qing army would cross the Yangtze River and approach the city without stabilizing the city.

If someone in the city colludes with the enemy, the situation will become very dangerous.

To take a step back, even if the Qing army could not cross the Yangtze River, it should not give up the land of Jiangbei to the Qing army.

It should be noted that since ancient times, we must guard the river and the Huai River.

It is much easier to hold the land of Xu Si and Huaiyang in your hands and use this water net terrain to resist the enemy in the north than to just guard the Yangtze River.

Zhu Ma said, "Since you all agree with this strategy, let's talk about the situation in your army first."

"Abide by the order!"

Then, in Huang Degong and Huang Fei's story, Zhu Mai, Hao Guangming and others finally learned about the details of the two troops.

Huang Degong has eight camps under his command.

The personal military camp was the most elite, with more than 8,000 people, all of which were elite soldiers, and there were even more than 1,000 soldiers fighting.

Then there are the five armies in front, back, left and right, and the camps in the left and right wings.

Among these seven camps, Tian Xiong led the largest number of troops in the central army camp, with more than 15,000 people, of which more than 3,000 elite soldiers. Because Huang Degong did not collect the mobs, the rest were all soldiers who dared to fight.

Again, there were camps on both sides of the left and right, with more than 10,000 people each, of which more than 2,000 elite soldiers were more than 2,000.

The front, back, left and right camps each had seven or eight thousand soldiers, and only more than one thousand elite soldiers.

Of course, the elite soldiers mentioned above are incomparable to the elite soldiers of the official army ten years ago, and are one level behind.

What can truly compare with the elite soldiers before Chongzhen ten years ago are the soldiers of various troops.

Huang Degong's total number of soldiers and horses is now nearly 70,000, but the total of hundreds of soldiers in the battle is at most more than 3,000.

Compared with Huang Degong, Huang Fei's total number of river waterproof troops is close to 30,000, but only more than 5,000 of them are called elite soldiers, and if there are hundreds of soldiers, there are probably only a few hundred.

The remaining soldiers can have 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers who dare to fight, plus thousands of chaotic people.

After Erhuang finished speaking, Zhu Mai thought for a moment, and as discussed with Hao Guangming, he said: "If we follow the rules of our palace, whether it is a prisoner, surrendered army, or the official army that surrendered, they will be re-elected.

Reorganized, trained.

First of all, there are many people in the army who are empty-handed, or those who are old and weak.

Second, long-term military force is a general, which is not conducive to national dispatch, and it is a way to cause disaster and must be prohibited."

When Huang Degong heard this, Huang Fei couldn't help but frown slightly.

Even though they were loyal to the Ming Dynasty, they had long been used to the military ecology of dozens and hundreds of years ago, and they were not only supporting their families.

If the training was carried out according to what Zhu Ma said, their army would not only shrink, but also reduce its combat effectiveness within one or two months.

Just as Huang Degong was about to say something, he heard Zhu Mai continue: "However, now it is the time to use troops, and I will not rush to reorganize and train your army.

But the soldiers must be eliminated and the criteria for the election must be determined by this palace. Do you have any objections?”

Hearing that he had just eliminated the soldiers, Huang Degong did not hesitate and immediately said, "I have no objection."

Huang Feize said: "Some soldiers have been with the army for many years, are old or disabled. I wonder if there are any arrangements for such people to be eliminated and elected as supervisors of the army?"

Zhu Meiyu smiled and said, "Of course there are arrangements - the army that was incorporated by this palace also had old, disabled, or underage, and there were old rules to follow."

Immediately, Zhu Mai told the old examples of the reorganization of Chengdu.

Huang Fei and Huang Degong showed disbelief after hearing this, and then Huang Fei couldn't help but praise: "The country is really a sage for soldiers, no wonder the generals and soldiers are all very morale."

Huang Degong couldn't help but reminded: "If the Ming army is old and disabled people will follow this arrangement in the future, the cost will probably be huge."

Only then did the head of the family realize that the firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. As a general who needs to make money and grain as his own food and money, Huang Degong knew very well how much money and grain was spent on raising soldiers.

Zhu Meiyu spent so much money on the disabled just by arranging the retired old men in the army, so it was hard for him not to worry about the future military expenditure of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Mai smiled after hearing this, "General Huang doesn't have to worry. The court of our palace has its own way of making money."

After hearing what Zhu Ma said, Huang Degong suddenly realized: The princess has magic weapons and magical powers, but is she afraid that she will not get money?

Immediately, Zhu Ma asked Dong Qiongying to explain to the two of them the new army system and the treatment of soldiers.

At the same time, the Imperial Guards and Border Guards also dispatched personnel to help Huang Degong, and Huang Fei first completed the election of the Digang army.

Before the two of them got off the imperial ship, Zhu Ma said seriously: "I don't care about the rules in your army before. Since I have joined me, I must follow the rules of my palace.
To be continued...
