Chapter 1209 Yan Kingdom Assembles the Army Three
In the next few days, there seemed to be an undercurrent surging on the Shenying Plain. The chiefs of the five tribes were summoned in turn by Mu Yun Canglan. No one knew what was discussed, but the ministers in the court all smelled the odor of the mountains.
The smell of rain coming and wind filling the building.
In fact, some people suspected that they were going to use troops against the Zhou Dynasty's border again. After all, last year's defeat was a shame for the Yan Kingdom. This was definitely the case.
However, the chiefs of the five tribes remained silent about what His Majesty said, and there was no imperial edict to assemble soldiers and organize military equipment, so no one knew the specific reason.
Three days later, the important officials of the court gathered in the royal tent. The originally spacious royal tent suddenly seemed overcrowded.
On the left side of the tent are the heads of the five clans and royal dignitaries, most of whom are members of the royal family of the same generation as Mu Yun Canglan. On the right side are the ministers of the court, people with overwhelming power, and most of them are standing behind
They are all a powerful tribe. Although their strength is not as good as that of the five tribes of Yanrong, they should not be underestimated.
Together these people formed the powerful Yan Rong.
On the left and right sides of Mu Yun Canglan stood the two most respected princes in the court: Mu Yunduankang and Mu Yunhuan. The two princes narrowed their eyes at this moment, not knowing what they were thinking.
Mu Yun Canglan glanced around the tent with calm eyes and said: "Last year, our army failed to attack Zhou Dynasty and the country's power was damaged. You are all important ministers of the country and the backbone of our country, so you should share my worries.
I have something to announce next, and I hope you will listen carefully."
Surprise and curiosity flashed in the eyes of many ministers who didn't know what was going on. They had rarely seen Mu Yun Canglan act so seriously.
"The reason for the defeat of Dayan is that the military forces of various ethnic groups are scattered and the orders cannot be unified. Therefore, I want to reorganize the troops and horses in the territory, drill them, and reorganize them into a new army.
Prime Minister, call us!"
Doubts flashed in the eyes of many people. What does it mean to reorganize the army?
Xun Kongzi, who was in front of the train, took a step forward, turned around to face the ministers, and shouted loudly:
"From now on, soldiers and horses from all tribes and elite soldiers from each tribe will be mobilized to form the main force of eight cavalry fields. The flags are:
Silver tiger flag on black ground, silver lion flag on black ground, silver leopard flag on black ground, silver wolf flag on yellow ground, silver bear flag on yellow ground, silver elephant flag on yellow ground, silver fox flag on yellow ground, silver falcon flag on yellow ground.
The eight field cavalry armies are the main force of our Great Yan, and the soldiers selected must be elites from all races and tribes!
This army reorganization will be personally presided over by His Majesty, assisted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Prince. I hope you will all work together to strengthen our Great Yan army!"
As soon as Xun Kongzi thought about it, he stood back on the court train with a hunched figure, and there seemed to be a deep meaning in his cloudy old eyes.
"this……"
As soon as he finished speaking, whispers could be heard in the tent, and many people looked extremely shocked.
Reorganize the army? Deploy elites?
Doesn't this mean that they should hand over their military power? Although it is not a complete handover, but all the elite cavalry have been taken away, what will they have left, an empty frame?
Mu Yunduankang frowned slightly. These people were still absolutely loyal to His Majesty's ministers, but they actually showed a bit of dissatisfaction. Those grassland tribes who surrendered did not know how much trouble they would cause.
It seems that the pressure on the entire army is much greater than what Mu Yunduankang wanted.
Mu Yunhuan looked at these people expressionlessly. He knew the news in advance and did not show any surprise. On the contrary, he thought it was a good thing. Anyway, he had long been unhappy with the clan leaders of the tribes.
Some powerful clan leaders didn't even give him face. Mu Yunhuan wished he could stab those guys to death.
"What? Do you have any opinions?" Mu Yun Canglan asked in a cold tone.
The king's tent instantly became quiet, and everyone stood bowed, not daring to make any more noise.
Muyun Canglan's majesty on the grassland was not formed in one day, but was accumulated over decades of conquests.
There was an eerie silence in the king's tent.
While the group of people were still calculating the pros and cons in their minds, the heads of the five tribes first knelt down with clasped fists in their hands:
"I respectfully obey His Majesty's orders!"
Then the royal dignitaries knelt down and shouted:
"I respectfully obey His Majesty's orders!"
Those ministers finally understood that His Majesty had already taken care of the five major clans, so they did not dare to object any more and quickly bowed to the ground:
"I obey the order!"
"very good!"
Muyun Canglan nodded: "Sure enough, they are all important ministers of our dynasty, and they did not disappoint me. This army reorganization has far-reaching impact and is of great significance. I hope that all of you will cooperate with me as much as possible. When I, the Yan Dynasty, rule the world, you will decide.
It can go down in history!"
"I will do my best to assist Your Majesty!"
"Okay, let's all go down. The heads of the five clans will stay." Mu Yun Canglan waved his hand casually.
"promise!"
Suddenly more than half of the people in the tent were missing, and the atmosphere was not as tense as before. Anyway, the heads of the five clans had known about it for a long time.
Mu Yun Canglan stroked his forehead and said: "There is no need to deploy the private soldiers of the five clans this time. If anyone wants a family member to go to the military for training, he can recommend them at will. However, do you understand that appointments are based on merit?"
"I understand!"
Mu Yun Canglan's meaning is already very clear. Your private soldiers are still yours, and even the children of your family can serve as officers in the Eight Banners Army. But it will not be based on your family background that you will be given a high official position.
But to show real military achievements.
"If you want to manage the army, you must first choose generals. As the saying goes, a thousand armies are rare, but a general is hard to find. Your Majesty, how do you decide on the generals to be the commanders of the Eight Banners?" Xun Kongzi saluted calmly and asked.

Except for Shen Tu Longfu, the other clan leaders raised their eyebrows. When they were summoned, Mu Yun Canglan did not mention a word about being the head coach.
In fact, they have some small thoughts in their hearts. If a member of the family can sit in the leadership position, wouldn't it be even more powerful?
"He's the coach of the Eight Banners~"
Mu Yun Canglan rubbed his brows and said: "Since the troops of the five tribes are not being used, the commander of the Eight Banners cannot be selected from the five tribes, lest the courtiers argue that I favor one over the other.
The candidate for the head coach should be selected among the royal family and other generals. Marshal Shentu and several clan leaders will discuss and select together, and be sure to award rewards based on merit!"
"I obey the order!"
Several people saluted in unison, but a flash of regret flashed in some people's eyes. It seemed that the position of the Eight Banners coach was destined to be missed by them.
Then, Mu Yun Canglan slowly came to the map with his hands behind his back and whispered softly: "This army reorganization is probably going to cause quite a storm.
Several clan leaders, each clan has dispatched 20,000 spirits to ride out, and they are on standby at any time!"
"No!" Several people nodded in unison. They knew exactly what these soldiers and horses were used for.
Shen Tu Longfu took a step forward gently and asked softly: "What should be done if a tribal leader disobeys the order?"
"Haha~"
Mu Yun Canglan smiled slightly: "Then kill him and replace him with someone who is obedient~"
