Ming Zuo

Chapter 50

"Liu Yuanqing, a lowly post, pays a visit to Lord Binggeng."

Liu Yuanqing finally came.

The promotion from a guerrilla to a general is still a prosperous place like Linqing, which is really proud of life.

Full of joy, he bowed his head to Zhang Jimeng, raised his head, and met the eyes of the young man beside Zhang Jimeng. He was a little stunned.

"Zuo... nephew Zuo?"

Zuo Menggeng surrendered.

"Uncle Liu has been gone for a long time."

Liu Yuanqing's heart was full of disgust, and his eyes rolled around.

He already knew about Zuo Liangyu's dismissal.

Liu Yuanqing felt a little ashamed when he thought that he had been fooled by a penniless kid.Full of thoughts, I was thinking about how to get back to the place.

But after the battle at Nanpi, Zuo Menggeng disappeared, and Liu Yuanqing had no choice but to give up.

Now that I see Zuo Menggeng again, I really have nowhere to go after stepping through the iron sheet...

Liu Yuanqing's grievances came up again.

Then he heard Zhang Jimeng's words.

"This is the younger generation of this official's close family. General Liu Can, please take care of it in the future."

Liu Yuan is numb.

boy, what's the matter with you?
Isn't your father dismissed from office, why is it related to the military training?

Seeing Zuo Menggeng sitting next to Zhang Jimeng, Liu Yuanqing knew that Zhang Jimeng was more than just being affectionate to the younger generation.

It's over, revenge is impossible.

Liu Yuanqing, who was dismissed from office, didn't care, but Bing Bei Dao was his immediate boss, and he was captured.

This guy is also a bachelor, and the thoughts he should not have dissipated immediately.With a smile all over his face, his poor acting skills are like cutouts.

"I have long felt that my nephew is extraordinary in martial arts. It turned out that it was taught by Lord Bingxian."

Zhang Jimeng was impatient to listen to his flattery, and pointed to the side, motioning him to sit down.

"A few days ago, there was a chaotic battle at the wharf, and the Linqing Association suffered heavy losses. Not only did the generals, the generals, and the garrison die in the battle, but more than half of the troops were lost. This officer has been ordered by the emperor to rectify the army, and he also needs the full assistance of General Liu."

Liu Yuanqing was taken aback, and only then did he know that he had taken over the mess.

"Yes, as your lord tells you to."

Immediately, he asked cautiously: "Sir, there are so many vacancies of officers, what does the court mean?"

Zhang Jimeng had an idea.

"Nowadays, there is a shortage of military and military talents everywhere, and it is difficult for the imperial court to assemble generals. This official is elusive, so it is better to act cheaply. The troops and horses of this association are to participate in the generals, cancel the guerrillas, and they are all in charge. They are divided into five battalions, and they are directly under the direct control of the generals. General Liu how about?"

Liu Yuanqing couldn't help but think about it.

Although Linqing had a garrison, it was not a guard system.

The local garrison began at the beginning of the establishment of the prefecture in Linqing. At that time, after the Tumu Fort, the guard system collapsed, so the garrison here is a recruitment system.

Later, in order to fight against the Japanese, the army was raised to [-].

Linqing has been in peace for a long time, and there has been no change in more than a hundred years.Therefore, once there is something wrong with the Quartet, troops are always dispatched from here for support.

Over time, the military system here has become somewhat chaotic.

Although the number of troops remained at [-], there had never been any guerrilla generals except for the generals who were sitting in town.Originally, there was a Dusi, but during the battle of the dock, he was killed together with the original ginseng.

Zhang Jimeng made it very clear that the imperial court would not send military generals over.

It's not enough to send someone to eastern Liaoning and northern Shaanxi.

This is also the reason why Chongzhen held the civil war examinations as soon as he ascended the throne.

Daming's demand for military generals is much more serious than that of civilian officials.

Since there was no one and there was a plan, Zhang Jimeng simply changed the military system.

He is Linqing's military preparation, and has this power.

In Zuo Menggeng's view, Zhang Jimeng's changes are actually more reasonable.

Below the generals, five battalions are set up directly, which reduces the link of issuing orders and is more conducive to commanding operations.

The main unit of the Ming army's operations was actually the battalion.

There are about a thousand people in a battalion, and a thousand generals are enough to be on their own.

Liu Yuanqing quickly figured it out.

"It's all according to the instructions of the adults."

The restructuring of the army is a major event. Although he is the main general, he cannot resist the military preparations.

Secondly, restructuring means opportunities. Liu Yuanqing can install cronies and hold more power.

If there is no opportunity for this restructuring, it may take a long time for an outsider like him to secure his position as a general.

Furthermore, the restructuring requires personnel statistics and money and grain accounting.

As a general, it is not easy for him to manipulate numbers.

Seeing his agreement, Zhang Jimeng began to plan the next step.

He pointed at Zuo Menggeng, and suddenly said: "General Liu has just arrived here, everyone is born, and the army is full of arrogant soldiers, I am afraid it will be difficult to control. This nephew of this official is quite skilled in bowing and horses, and how is his military strategy? General Liu must be well acquainted. The country's affairs are difficult, and it is the time to employ people. This official intends to make him the head of the rear battalion. I wonder what General Liu thinks?"

Zuo Menggeng was shocked.

I didn't expect to have my own business.

But the question is, shouldn't the appointment and removal of officers be carefully considered?
Why did Zhang Jimeng come when he opened his mouth?

I heard that Zuo Menggeng was going to be put into the army, and it would be a battalion and a thousand commanders. Liu Yuanqing began to sweat on his forehead.

"Hehe, nephew Zuo's military strategy, the last commander has seen it long ago. To have a nephew..."

Zhang Jimeng saw it.

Liu Yuanqing was reluctant.

If you think about it carefully, you can understand his thoughts.

Liu Yuanqing obviously regarded Zuo Menggeng as Zhang Jimeng's eyeliner in the army, and borrowed him to control the army.

No military commander wants to be restrained like this.

"Haha, with this kid in control of the rear battalion, if General Liu of the other four battalions is rectified, he will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Liu Yuanqing heard it.

Zhang Jimeng was implying that the rear battalion would belong to Zuo Menggeng, and Zhang Jimeng of the other four battalions would not intervene.

Although he lost the control of one battalion, he was able to cover the sky with one hand in the remaining four battalions...

Liu Yuanqing just thought for a moment, and immediately agreed.

This deal was too good for him.

In the army elsewhere, it is impossible for the master general to control the army under his command to such a degree.

The soldiers below are the tops of the mountains.In many cases, a commander-in-chief can command his own soldiers.

The preliminary negotiation was settled, and Liu Yuanqing happily took over.

The remaining Zuo Menggeng was still a little stunned.

"Uncle Zhang, little nephew He De and He Neng, take on the important position of Qian Zong?"

Zhang Jimeng put down the tea cup and looked at him amusingly.

"Why can't you? As far as your actions are concerned, you are not better than that Liu Yuanqing? He can be a general, why can't you be a general?"

You can be in charge of the army, but if you say that you don't want to be moved, that's all a lie.

What Zuo Menggeng is good at is the military.

But he also has concerns.

"My little nephew is young, I'm afraid it's hard to be a big boss."

Zhang Jimeng laughed and punched him in the chest.

"Look at your situation, it's not an exaggeration to say that you are eighteen."

The biggest difference between Zuo Menggeng and his peers is that his physique is very majestic.Even compared to adults, it is better.

Many people were deceived by his age.

After Zhang Jimeng said this, Zuo Menggeng looked down at himself, and this concern disappeared.

"Uncle Zhang, is the appointment and removal of generals so arbitrary?"

Zhang Jimeng shook his head and gave him popular science.

"Above the commander-in-chief must be reported to the Ministry of War for approval. Appointment can only be made if the generals and generals are appointed by His Majesty. The rest of the generals and those in charge of the army can be appointed and dismissed on their own. It's nothing more than reporting to the governor of Shandong."

Zuo Menggeng understood.

The way the imperial court controls military power is to control the appointment and removal of mid-level and senior officers above the commander-in-chief.

As for the mid- and low-level officers under the command of the Imperial Court, in the eyes of the imperial court, they could not make any big waves, so they let them go and appoint them by themselves.

Zhang Jimeng seized this loophole and arranged for Zuo Menggeng the head of the Linqing Association.

As for the governor of Shandong...

Now I am afraid of Linqing's affairs, and I don't care about it at all.

Originally in the Linqing Association, President Qian was not a great officer.After all, there should be Dusi, guerrillas, and generals above, and there are many mothers-in-law.

However, Zhang Jimeng took the opportunity to change the military system so that the battalions were directly administered by the generals.

In this way, Qian Zongke will play a pivotal role.

"This Liu Yuanqing is a person who knows current affairs. When I see your relationship with me today, I will not dare to embarrass you, and even turn a blind eye to you. You have to be vigilant, except for your rear camp affairs, don't talk about it. ,Understand?"

Being able to lead an army alone, without worrying about interference from the boss, Zuo Menggeng was already eager to try.

He just begged Liu Yuanqing not to interfere with him, how could he be asking for trouble.

"Young nephew saves it."

There are no outsiders here, Zhang Jimeng suddenly relaxed, and said earnestly: "Well done, what is the future of this world? It's a fog. If you can make some achievements, we elders will not be in vain."

Zuo Menggeng was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that the fact that he was in charge of the army was actually the common intention of several bosses.

It seems that the experience of this period has made them feel a sense of crisis.

If you can't find a way out of the situation, you have to try any method.

As a result, it fulfilled itself.

From now on, he will no longer be a rambunctious dude, but a dignified boss.
