Since the Liucheng Incident broke out, Gao Mingbo had not had a good shut-eye for several nights in a row, and now his eyes were darkened and he could be described as "looking haggard." Although he had noticed a hint beforehand, and relied on his natural sensitivity to propose immediate measures.
Although there was no real evidence for such a big matter, he felt a little embarrassed. What frightened him the most was that the pedestrians had no idea about the conspiracy between Brother Rong and the Wu Kui tribe.
It was this conspiracy that led to the unexpected outbreak of the Battle of Lumingwazi, and also directly led to the serious injury of Zhang Xingzhong, the first general of the Yingzhou Army and his nominal direct superior.
Although Li Chengzhong did not blame him, the irritable mood of the Lord of Liucheng in the past two days still made him feel deeply panicked. He had been thinking hard these days and thought clearly about several methods that needed improvement.
This time I got such a good opportunity to play the right game, so I threw it out immediately.
Gao Mingbo believed that during the Liucheng Incident, the work of the Pedestrian Department was not up to standard, and the main problems exposed lay in three aspects, namely, "short-sightedness," "internal failure," and "lack of professional practice."
Because of his "short-sightedness", he always focused his energy on the internal control range of Liucheng. When an accident occurred outside, he completely lost the means of monitoring. For example, in this incident, Gu Lihun contacted Brother Rong, and Brother Rong contacted
The pedestrians were completely unaware of these two aspects of begging and buying, which resulted in the northern headquarters being almost successfully raided by the enemy. If Zhang Xingzhong hadn't improvised an impromptu outdoor night training, the consequences would have been disastrous!
Speaking of which, the luck of the Yingzhou Army was really good. This was the case in the Battle of Lumingwa, and the same was true in the Battle at the Northern Foot of Bailang Mountain. Gao Mingbo even felt that God was favoring him. He even felt that God was caring for him.
The general he worked for had some vague awe. In addition, there were rumors in the army that General Li was shrouded in magical fairy clouds at the top of Beizhou City. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that there seemed to be a layer of magic on this general's head.
The aura of unclearness.
And "internal trouble" is the main reason why the pedestrian department still has no clue when an incident is about to happen. If the internal rights and responsibilities of the pedestrian department are clear and each department is responsible, when so many clues appear, there will be no blind chaos.
Turn around, scratch your eyebrows and beard, even if you can't guess the specific events initiated by the conspirators.
"From now on, the Yuhousi pedestrian crossing will be cancelled..."
Gao Mingbo was shocked. He didn't expect such a result...
Li Chengzhong paused and continued: "Transfer the affairs and personnel of the original personnel department to establish a new intelligence agency... This agency is independent of the Yingzhou Army Headquarters and is located alongside the Third Division of the headquarters. It is lower than
The Third Division, but it is higher than the other departments under the jurisdiction of the Third Division, and is specifically responsible to me. This organization is called the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Yingzhou Army Headquarters. Well... it is called the Army. Tong. With you as the leader, along with Liu Ba, you
The two are responsible for the preparation and establishment of the survey and statistics bureau."
Gao Mingbo's shock turned into great joy. Between surprise and joy, his heart almost jumped out of his mouth.
Just listen to Li Chengzhong say again: "You make a list of the candidates you need and give it to me to review directly. As for the Yu Lai you just mentioned, you can consider recruiting them. It's your decision. By the way, when you go back, make a plan until the end of the year.
Financial budget, I will find a way to help you get money."
Gao Mingbo couldn't help but his legs went weak, and he knelt down in front of Li Chengzhong, choking with sobs: "I'm humble... I obey my orders, I dare to die if I don't obey!"
Gao Mingbo was busy preparing for the new "Investigation and Statistics Bureau of Yingzhou Army Headquarters". Li Chengzhong thought that such a prestigious institution that could stop children from crying at night would be born in his own hands the year before last, and he smiled in a wicked way.
When I woke up, the gloom that had been weighing on my heart for the past few days was swept away, and I went to the Medical Department of the Logistics Department to visit Zhang Xingzhong, who was recovering from his injuries.
Under Li Chengzhong's personal instructions, Zhang Xingzhong was bandaged up like a rice dumpling and was lying on the bed, being treated by the female soldiers from the medical department. Two female soldiers were feeding him soup. Zhang Xingzhong sipped the wooden spoon with great effort.
The medicinal decoction was made and swallowed hard.
There are not many people in Liucheng, and both the Yingzhou Army and the Changshi Mansion are desperately recruiting people. In addition, under the stimulation of the policy of the Changshi Mansion's Commerce and Trade Department, merchants everywhere are working hard to open workshops, and there is an extreme shortage of labor for a while. Fortunately,
In these troubled times, whether at the border or in the Central Plains, most of the young men were recruited as soldiers by the feudal towns. Women had long become an important labor force. It was normal to show their faces outside to make a living, so Li Chengzhong recruited women to become medical women.
Bing's move was not as difficult as he thought in advance. All the rhetoric he had thought up for promulgating this policy were not used at all, which made him feel astonished that he had missed the target with one punch.
In fact, Li Chengzhong was ignorant. In this era, many vassal towns had already recruited women to accompany the army on a large scale to serve as cooks for the army, escorting military supplies and other auxiliary and civilian affairs. Among the Hu people, women who were good at riding and shooting even directly went into battle, no less inferior to men. Li Chengzhong
I have seen Princess Salanna of Xi Ren, who has an army of attendants composed of a hundred women.
Seeing Li Chengzhong come in, Zhang Xingzhong wanted to get up, but couldn't move at all. He could only blink at him and asked: "The general is here? How is the situation at Huaiyuan Military City? How is Old Zhou's fight?"
Li Chengzhong smiled and said: "Old Zhang, don't worry about it. You don't know about Old Zhou yet? Don't worry. Just take care of your injuries. This is the right thing to do!"
Zhang Xingzhong sighed: "I was careless. I should have left a group of soldiers to defend myself. I didn't expect that beggar to be so lucky. He actually got under someone's nose."
Li Chengzhong said: "Are you lucky? He is trapped in the isolated city now. I told Lao Zhou. When he is caught, he will be escorted to Liucheng and handed over to you for disposal!"
Zhang Xingzhong said: "What can be done? This barbarian is still very capable. If he can be persuaded to surrender, the general may try to use it."
Li Chengzhong said: "He hurt you like this, so you don't hate him? You almost died in his hands."
Zhang Xingzhong said: "In front of the two armies, where is the personal enmity? I can't say whether I hate him or not, but he has traveled hundreds of miles to attack Longshan. He is indeed a decisive person..."
The two were chatting when they saw a group of women wearing black hats and black coats coming in. They were the female nurse soldiers from the Medical Department of the Logistics Department. Li Chengzhong originally wanted to issue white coats to the female nurse soldiers to show off the angels in white for future generations.
Unexpectedly, when this idea was proposed, it was opposed by almost everyone. It is extremely difficult to make pure white clothing. The actual sample is closer to the off-white color of linen. According to everyone's words, it is like this
The color is too unfavorable. The wounded are already miserable enough, but if you have to see you wearing sackcloth and wearing mourning all day long, isn't this a curse to a quick death? Even the female soldiers resolutely resisted such uniforms, so Li Chengzhong simply chose black.
, the female soldiers looked particularly energetic after wearing them.
The leader of this group of female soldiers was none other than Li Chengzhong's concubine Wanzhi. After Wanzhi came to Liucheng with Li Chengzhong, she was like a bird out of the cage, enjoying a free life. Li Chengzhong
He is not the kind of person who keeps his woman at home and acts as a so-called good wife and mother. On the contrary, he prefers women who have their own careers and pursuits. He does not like pure flower-pot women. He hopes that his women can be knowledgeable and capable.
With experience, this temperament is more in line with his aesthetics.
With his encouragement and connivance, Wanzhi learned medical skills and became a nurse in the Medical Department of the Logistics Department. She also found her own world and started her own career here. Wanzhi was originally a chess player.
A talented woman who is proficient in calligraphy and painting, she has learned medical skills naturally. Now she can learn to open a door for consultation and prescribe some simple diseases. As Wanzhi, she has become a medical expert invisibly.
The person in charge of the calculation, even Dr. Qin, the medical department's superintendent, had to come to him first to ask for instructions respectfully when something happened.
Wanzhi was leading a group of female nurses from the medical department to do ward rounds. She was serious about her work. She just came over to say hello to Li Chengzhong and then continued to do her thing, leaving Li Chengzhong here. This was what the two of them said at home.
Well, Li Chengzhong will naturally not be angry.
Zhang Xingzhong smiled on the hospital bed and said: "Wanzhi is a good woman, the general is blessed." His words were not a compliment. Wanzhi's hard work and carefulness in the medical department were noticed by the wounded soldiers. With her
She came to take care of these wounded soldiers in her own capacity. Not to mention that she was proficient in medical skills, even if she didn't understand them at all, these wounded soldiers were proud to be consulted by her.
Li Chengzhong teased Zhang Xingzhong and said: "Old Zhang, you are quite old now. As the elder brother of sister Laner, we can be considered a family, so I can talk to you. What do you think? Which lady here do you like? I will act as a matchmaker for you.
It’s better to let your adults have a grandson as soon as possible.”
After visiting his right-hand man, Li Chengzhong returned to Zhongnanhai. Now that the Yingzhou Army is developing rapidly, he still has many important things to deal with, such as the issue of military uniforms.
