Su He saw Li Fengming frowning and wondered what kind of problem he had encountered.
They are preparing for the medal ceremony, and the soldiers who came to be awarded the medal have arrived in Hanzhong Fucheng one after another.
Li Fengming was responsible for preparing for this award ceremony.
"Mr. Li, if you have anything you don't understand, you can tell us and we can brainstorm ideas."
When Li Fengming heard Su He's question, he tactfully told what he was struggling with.
These days, he is busy with the medal ceremony.
Two senior civil and military officials found him privately and asked him to go to Su He for advice.
These two people did not approach Su He directly because they wanted to leave some room for maneuver.
The first was Li Dazhuang, who wanted the Guards Brigade to become a pure army.
If Li Dazhuang wants to make great achievements, the Guards Brigade can directly go to the battlefield to fight the enemy.
The Guards Brigade is responsible for training new recruits and protecting senior generals and officials.
This greatly delays the soldiers' training time and distracts them.
Some soldiers, in particular, became familiar with the guarding officials.
Basically, they don’t want to go to the front line to fight, which greatly affects the morale of the army.
The second one is Zhou Kai, the Minister of Punishment.
Zhou Kai felt that he was an outlier in the officialdom, and other officials vaguely rejected him.
He was not happy staying in the Ministry of Justice and wanted to go to the military camp.
His arm was amputated and his body was disabled, but he was able to perform logistical and clerical work.
Even if he becomes a fire-headed soldier, he is willing to do it.
After Su He listened to Li Fengming's introduction, he laughed.
These two people were afraid of his scolding, so they went around a lot to find Li Fengming to make peace.
Su He said with a smile: "This is a good thing.
They should be stimulated by the reform of the title system and want to make contributions.
The senior generals are all like them, so there is no need for me to urge them to improve.
I have said before that professional people should be responsible for professional matters.
The Guards Brigade was lacking everything before, so we could only take a large-scale and comprehensive approach and train some talents.
Now is the time to split it up."
Su He saw it clearly.
Generals are also human beings, and they all have their own thoughts.
I will definitely not be like a puppet and completely accept his arrangements.
Putting the right people in the right positions is what a leader should do.
Let the general put forward his opinions directly, which shows that his actions have been slow.
Suhe split the Guards Brigade and turned the split Guards Brigade into a real field army.
It is also an experimental army, specializing in testing the latest weapons and tactics.
Li Dazhuang is still the brigade commander of the Guards Brigade, and his position has not changed.
The work of training recruits and guards in the Guards Brigade was completely separated.
Establish new barracks and guard regiments.
Su He took advantage of the opportunity of the Guards Brigade's restructuring and transferred Su Changsheng out of the Guards Brigade.
An intelligence agency secret guard was formally established to monitor all officials.
Send spies to penetrate the enemy's interior.
The secret guards directly competed with the Jin Yiwei of the Ming Dynasty.
Strengthen its ability to train espionage and counterintelligence.
…
Su He summoned Zhou Kai at Lingyun Palace.
When Zhou Kai came to Lingyun Palace, he was very uneasy and didn't know what the outcome was waiting for him.
The soldier he used to serve under him now became an eighth-class lord for his meritorious service.
He didn't even get a title, and he was very depressed.
He was not doing well in the Criminal Department, so he chatted with Li Fengming for a few words.
Zhou Kai didn't know what the outcome would be, whether to return to the army or continue to be the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
Su He saw that Zhou Kai was very nervous, and he said bluntly:
"I support your choice and plan to put you in charge of the recruit camp to train new recruits full-time.
Recruitment camps are set up in each province to train local soldiers.
The staff department will assign trained recruits to various armies based on their training status.
This is a difficult position to achieve great success.
The recruits are well trained and everyone thinks this is normal work.
If recruits are not well trained, they will be criticized by everyone.
Are you willing to accept this job?"
Zhou Kai was very happy when he heard that he was responsible for training new recruits and could finally return to the army.
"Commander Su, I am willing to be responsible for training new soldiers.
I am a disabled person and I definitely cannot go to the frontline army.
Pass on my experience to new recruits so that they can live longer on the battlefield.
I am very willing to do this.”
Su He appointed Zhou Kai as the chief instructor of the new military camp.
Zhou Kai resigned from the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, and Su He directly promoted Su Yan to the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments.
The results of his work during this period were outstanding.
Nowadays, hooligans and bullies are no longer seen in Hanzhong Mansion.
People think highly of him, and Su Yan is suitable for this kind of work.
…
Su He also called Qi Gangyi, deputy commander of the Guards Brigade.
Qi Gangyi is a beggar in Baoji County.
When Su He recruited an army, he joined the army.
Qi Gangyi became the deputy brigade commander because he was more stubborn than others.
He studied very seriously and quickly mastered reading and writing.
He is also very brave in fighting and is serious and responsible in his work.
When Su He saw Qi Gangyi, he gave the order directly without beating around the bush.
"Qi Gangyi, you are responsible for forming the guard regiment.
Specially responsible for protecting senior civil and military officials and important places.
The guard regiment must be staffed by loyal and reliable people."
Qi Gangyi stood upright and replied in a loud voice: "Yes."
The security regiment established in Suhe has a very wide scope of work.
The main job is security work.
Su He and the civil and military officials were afraid of sending guards for protection.
These are troubled times, and if civil servants do not send guards to protect them, they will die easily if something happens.
Suhe sent guards to protect civil and military officials instead of letting them recruit themselves, which also meant surveillance.
No matter how well civil and military officials and guards get along.
As long as the commander's office pays the guards' wages, it is impossible for them to be intimate.
This also means that Su He completely eliminated the masters and instead asked the yamen to uniformly recruit secretaries.
Officials can choose their own secretaries.
Secretaries are also a type of subordinate staff, and they can be promoted normally.
There is a huge difference between government and private recruitment.
Everyone is ambitious and will not always be inferior to others.
Without the relationship of personal dependence, when encountering conflicts of interest between the government and officials.
Secretaries have more choices than teachers.
The Guard Corps is also responsible for guarding some important locations.
Such as important factories, mints and bank vaults.
…
Li Fengming came to the Guards Brigade to guide the division work of the Guards Brigade.
Li Dazhuang gave him a bear hug.
"Lao Qi, we have worked together for so long, you must be merciful.
Don't remove too many elite soldiers, otherwise our Guards Brigade will have no combat effectiveness."
Qi Gang nodded dully, he was not good at words.
The work of the guard regiment does not have particularly high requirements on the strength of the soldiers.
All soldiers in the Guards Brigade can meet this requirement.
The only requirement for the Guard Corps is loyalty.
Loyalty can only be tested through long-term contact.
But Qi Gangyi believes that the more his parents, wife and children are alive, the more soldiers will be bound in this world.
They are less likely to betray because the cost of betrayal is too high.
A soldier who has enough food for one person and no hunger for the whole family.
If they really want to betray, they won't hesitate.
Qi Gangyi only selects soldiers who are innocent and have parents, wives and children.
It would be even easier for Zhou Kai to recruit troops.
Officers who are good at training soldiers are all very famous.
He just needs to pick people from the list.
Li Dazhuang looked at the much smaller Guards Brigade, but he was even happier.
The army under his command was reduced, but its combat effectiveness increased by more than half.
The soldiers chosen by these two men were all burdens in his eyes.
Li Dazhuang doesn't need to think about recruit training now.
You just need to concentrate on studying how to fight and how to win the battle.
