Xiao Hua took Li Ye into the camp and immediately ordered the drums to be beaten to gather the generals.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The rapid sound of the small drum sounded, and all the generals above the deputy lieutenant level rushed towards the Chinese army's tent.
Twelve thousand men are exactly one army. According to the regular configuration, there should be six Ying Yanglang generals, twelve Yingshitong generals, twenty-four captains and forty-eight deputy lieutenants, in addition to the brigade commander and team commander.
Zheng, as well as the fire chief, and of course many civilian officers.
However, Hezhong is not a transfer of a formal organization, but a temporary patchwork. Currently, there are only one General Yingyanglang, one General Yingshanglang, three captains and three deputy lieutenants, and all other generals are vacant.
This is actually a very serious problem. Soldiers will return after four years of garrison, but mid-level generals and above may not be able to return. Therefore, there is no shortage of low-level generals such as captains and brigade commanders, but generals above deputy lieutenant are basically unwilling to go to the river.
They will find various reasons not to go, and even if they are selected, they will find connections to shirk it.
There are no civilian officers at all. At present, there is only one military officer, Wailang, who temporarily serves as Cang Cao to join the military and manage the warehouse supplies. No other civilian officers can be found and no one has signed up. No one is willing to go to Anxi, let alone it is further away.
in the river.
There are only eight generals in the big tent. General Ying Yanglang is called Wang Xuanwu. He is from Lantian County, Jingzhao Prefecture. He is a typical general with no backing, no wealth, and no eloquence. He is a boring gourd who only knows how to do things.
At the age of ten, he made meritorious service in Longyou and was promoted to the rank of Zhonglang General. He was appreciated by Wang Zhongsi and was transferred back to Chang'an Longwu Army.
After Wang Zhongsi's death, he completely lost his backing. Five years later, he is still a Zhonglang general. Wang Xuanwu knew that his future was hopeless. When the Hezhong Army signed up, he was the first to sign up.
Ying Yang Lang will be the deputy of Ying Yang Lang. One Ying Yang Lang will be paired with two Ying Strike Lang generals. However, currently there is only one Ying Strike Lang general who has signed up to go to Hexi. His name is Duan Xu, a native of Xianyang, Jingzhao.
, he is also a three-nothing general from a poor family. He has many children and elderly parents. It is too difficult for him to support himself alone. He also has to rely on his wife to do laundry to supplement the family income.
If he went to Hezhong, his salary could be doubled from the current six guan per month to twelve guan, and he would be able to support his family, so he also signed up to go to Hezhong.
The three captains and three deputy lieutenants hoped to be promoted. They all knew that no one wanted to go to Hedong. This was an opportunity for promotion, so they would not miss it.
Xiao Hua coughed and said to everyone: "This is Li Ye, the first governor of the Hezhong Governor's Mansion appointed by the Holy Lord, General Yunhui, and the title of Prince of Gaochang County!"
Li Ye has a good reputation. Even the army knows that he is nicknamed Ksitigarbha and kills many people in Yunyang County. However, unlike the civilian officials, everyone in the army unanimously supports him. But to everyone's surprise, Li Ye actually
It was the Prince of Gaochang County, and everyone suddenly realized that the other party was from the royal family.
"See you, Governor!" Everyone knelt down on one knee and performed a military salute.
"Generals, please get up without any courtesy!"
Li Ye could easily control various etiquette systems in the army, but he really didn't expect that normally there should be ninety mid-level generals, but now there are only eight generals, not even 10%. Why didn't Xiao Shilang tell him?
.
Li Ye glanced at Xiao Hua. Xiao Hua understood the meaning in his eyes and smiled lightly: "Everything has pros and cons. Governor Li might as well take a long-term view."
Li Ye nodded. He understood what Xiao Hua meant. Although there were too many generals in front of him, in the long run, he could appoint his own generals. This was an opportunity for him to appoint many of his closest subordinates.
Xiao Hua continued: "Captain Li has received the title granted by the Emperor, and the Ministry of War has also issued a letter of appointment. From now on, he will officially become the commander-in-chief of the Hezhong Army, and he will also be your commander-in-chief. However, he will have the right to engage in foreign affairs and deploy troops.
According to regulations, the appointment can only be given at the place of appointment. I believe everyone understands that now I want to announce the appointment letter."
Li Ye had some calculations in his mind, so he smiled at Xiao Hua and said: "The number is a little small, why not call together all the generals above the team leader."
Xiao Hua nodded, "Okay, gather all the generals."
The gathering drum sounded again. This time, all the team commanders and brigade commanders rushed to the Chinese army's tent. There were more people and they gathered together.
Under the attention of everyone, Xiao Hua read aloud the appointment letter from the Ministry of War. The appointment letter from the Ministry of War did not appoint the governor of Hezhong. That was the authority of the emperor. The Ministry of War only officially appointed Li Ye as the commander-in-chief of the Hezhong Army and awarded Li Ye the flag of the Hezhong Army.
Ye means the completion of military formation in Hezhong.
Xiao Hua left with the officials, and the generals saluted Li Ye again.
Li Ye said slowly: "From today on, our Hezhong Army is officially established. I am also honored to be your coach. Please believe me. As long as I, Li Ye, stay in the Hezhong Army for one day, I will never treat you badly. I am here
I want to make a statement to everyone, four years from now, everyone sitting here, I guarantee that everyone will be able to afford a house in Chang'an."
Li Ye's promise is really inspiring. It can be said that it has fulfilled everyone's desire. We are all Guanzhong people. Who doesn't want to have a house in Chang'an, even if it is a cheap yard and more than a thousand dollars, for them
It's not even realistic.
Now the coach has publicly promised that each of them will be able to afford a house in Chang'an. How could they not be excited? Warm applause suddenly erupted in the Chinese army tent.
Immediately, the positions were adjusted, and Duan Xu was promoted to General Ying Yanglang, six school lieutenants and deputy lieutenants were promoted to General Ying Yanglang, and Li Ye himself also served as General Ying Yanglang of the First Battalion, so there were three Ying Yanglang Generals.
The general and the six generals of Eagle Attack are responsible for 4,000 people under each camp.
Of course, the current adjustments are only internal appointments. After the leaves are broken, all the gaps will be filled and then reported to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel for approval.
The next step was to visit the soldiers. Li Ye walked into a large tent. Twenty soldiers in the tent were sorting their belongings. The team shouted, "The commander is here, stand up!"
The twenty soldiers stood up immediately, all standing upright. Li Ye smiled and waved his hand, "Today is my first day on the job. I want to chat with you. Please sit down and be casual."
Everyone was sitting on the ground. When soldiers from several large tents nearby heard that the governor had arrived, they all rushed over to listen, and soon the tent was completely surrounded.
Li Ye smiled and said: "I heard from the officials of the Ministry of War that everyone voluntarily went to the river to guard. First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their choice. I believe that the colorful life in the river will not disappoint everyone."
"Excuse me, Governor, our jurisdiction should be very large!" asked a fire chief.
Li Ye nodded, "It's indeed very big. From the easternmost end of the Yili River Valley to the Wuhu River, the distance is about seven or eight thousand miles. It takes a month or two to ride a horse. However, most of them are high mountains, but there are also some
There are rivers and lakes in the pasture. The lake is very big, like the sea. Next to Suiye City where we are stationed is Atami."
"Captain, is there a large population in the river area?" a soldier asked.
"It's not that small, but it's not as large as the Tang Dynasty, but there are many small countries, mainly Sogdians, Tocharians, Tuqishi people, Geluolu people, etc. In this vast land before, we were only in name.
However, after the Talos War, this land is actually under our control, and everyone may be dispersed to station in various places to enjoy the highest status of each country and tribe."
"Captain, will there be a war?" asked a brigade commander from behind.
This was also the issue that everyone was most concerned about, and there was a sudden silence in the big tent.
Li Ye nodded, "I can tell you that there will definitely be a war, but the Tang army has an absolute advantage in the river. Even against the Tibetan army, they are not our opponents at all. There are also nomadic peoples in the west. They will go eastward."
Expansion involves not only Dashi, but also other forces, but don’t worry, the Tang Army has the most powerful combat power in the world and will sweep away all enemies."
"When will we set off?" Someone finally asked the most critical question.
Li Ye smiled and said: "I tell you clearly that early in the morning on the 17th of the first lunar month, we set out for Hezhong. If anyone wants to take his wife, children and parents to Hezhong, I absolutely welcome it. There are plenty of places in Suiye City for resettlement. You can go there
Sign up with my staff and they will take office tomorrow."
