Chapter 155 Adjustment

That night, Zhao Bing summoned Zhao Mengjin, Liu Zhu, Huang Xianyao and Liu Zhixue again.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

Because the rear army was composed of volunteers assigned by the court, in order to strengthen their combat effectiveness, most of the imperial guards in front of the hall were transferred to their subordinates as middle-level officers, so they were the weakest control of the general's office. Jiang Yu had commanded the army for many years and led the volunteers to fight the enemy in Guangdong, and he was very familiar with their needs and psychology. In addition, the imperial guards in front of the hall were basically composed of Jiang's soldiers, so it would be very easy to take the rear army for themselves.

Zhao Bing knew that the army was the foundation of his foothold in this world, so he must be in his own hands. He could not give up the military power for no reason. Jiang Qi's move, whether he had any attempt to interfere in military affairs, touched his negative scales, which was something he could not tolerate. Since several of his confidant generals had viewed this from this, he had to take measures to prevent accidents. He must not let Jiang Qi turn the rear army into the Jiang family army and put the rear army back under his command.

Originally, Zhao Bing was preparing to place the central army and the front army in Qiongzhou as the main force to defend the strait; the left and right armies divided the Changhua and Wan'an armies as two wings to reinforce Qiongzhou at any time; and placed the weakest rear army in the southernmost Jiyang army as the main force to maintain stability on the island, and also acted as a reserve force. In this case, he made adjustments at the moment, placing the rear army in Qiongzhou and under his own eyes, while the front army was stationed in the Jiyang army.

At first, Zhao Bing wanted to concentrate all the volunteers brought from Guangzhou into the armies, but now he had to make fine adjustments. He planned to organize the Defender Army and the Defender Army into new armies, and the insufficient number was transferred from each army to retain the Defender Army's military number, and the commander's office was directly under the jurisdiction. All the surrendered troops in Jiujiang were organized into the navy. The Chen brothers led the rebel army into five commands and transferred into each army, while the rebel army recruited by Jiang Ju were dispersed into each army to supplement the original vacancies.

Zhao Mengjin and others agreed to the reorganization of the army. Because the general army expanded successively, the original guards had become a minority. If they were not trained, they would have the risk of being annexed by other units. They could take advantage of the opportunity to reorganize the army to strengthen the strength and influence of the old team, thereby enhancing their control. Now that the army has no place to live, it is urgent to build military camps and defensive facilities, and training is imperative, which has become an irreconcilable contradiction.

Zhao Mengjin proposed that the instructors of each army could be unified into a team, and the Chief Commander Zhili was responsible for teaching the war, and then officers at all levels were transferred to the battalion to carry out training in turn. After the teaching was completed and returned to the battalion, the soldiers were taught, so as to achieve the goal of improving the overall combat effectiveness with one teaching and ten. Liu Zhu also proposed that different types of troops could be distinguished and the battles could be taught separately. This would not only speed up the training level, but also strengthen professional training to ensure the training effect.

Zhao Bing thought it was true, and the others agreed very much. So he ordered everyone to write their ideas into a document after going back and submit them to the Fushi Department. He was dealing with it to promote the matter as soon as possible. In this way, even if Jiang Qing wanted to oppose him, it would be too late. When he came back, he was already in a state of change and could not achieve it. This weakened the influence of the Jiang family in the commander-in-chief's army, and he could not interfere in military affairs, but further determined the status of Zhao Bing as commander-in-chief.

Zhao Mengjin and others knew that only by ensuring the authority of Your Highness in the General's Mansion could they gain a foothold in the current situation where the "enemy" is strong and we are weak, and keep their position. The consistency of interests made them obey His Highness's words. Zhao Bing not only strengthened his control over the army through the reorganization of the army, but also improved the combat effectiveness of the General's Mansion's army, and then allowed himself to defend a pure land in this chaotic world and seek a way out...

In the next two days, Zhao Bing summoned Zhuang Shilin, Hao Yuntong, Zhou Xiang and other officials, and secretly met Ying Jieyan and others. Three days have passed since Jiang Qi led his army to "run away", and the people sent by the General Administration to search for him have not yet sent back the news. The situation is unclear, and the officials are silent about the matter, and no one publicly discusses the matter, making the incident seem like a taboo.

However, after the General's Office went to the island, there were many things that the General Office had to deal with, and it was impossible to wait for it. Arrangements were made for several major matters as soon as possible. So on the third day of arriving in Qiong, Zhao Bing gathered to discuss matters. In addition to the chief officials of the General Office and the generals above the military commander, all the prefectures and county officials under Qiongzhou attended the meeting. First, the chief officials of each department and Qiongzhou talked about the current situation, introduced the situation, and raised issues that needed to be solved.

According to the practice, the next step should be discussed and opinions should be made, and the Highness should make a decision. However, his Highness was contrary to the rules and made arrangements for personnel and announced that Fushou Yingjie would strictly preside over the work of the General's Office and be in charge of military and political affairs in Qiongzhou; in view of Jiang Yu's absence from the island without authorization, the Transport Department was headed by Deputy Envoy Pan An, and Chen Zeweng was the judge of the Transport Department, and he would deal with it separately after Jiang Yu returned and found out the situation. At the same time, Zhao and Luo were removed from the position of Transport Department Transport Department, and the governor of Qiongzhou remained unchanged and served as the Transport Department for the Front of the Military; the two chief officials of the Secretariat and Changping Department remained unchanged.

Then he appointed the attendant of the royal palace. Deng Guang, the secretary of the General Office, was recommended as the Lianwen Envoy of Qiongzhou, responsible for supervising the officers of the General Office and various prefectures and counties, and at the same time supervising military disciplines and rectifying illegal laws. Zhao Mengjin was appointed as the envoy of Qiongzhou, managing all the troops and horses under Qiongzhou, and still serving as his own position. Liu Zhu was appointed as the envoy of the coastal defense envoy, managing all the naval armies, and setting up water camps to defend against the enemy; Chen Renweng was appointed as the commander of the defeated front army, responsible for the reorganization of the defeated front army and the brave army.

The former commander of the Defighting Army was the commander of the Qiongzhou Army, responsible for pacifying local illegality and clearing out pirates; Zhou Xiang, the head of the General Office, also served as the supervisor of the Qiongzhou Army, responsible for the construction of military ordnance and construction of military camps and forts. He later ordered the troops to prepare for departing and go to the garrison, and the corresponding plans were agreed upon by the Fushi and the Dushi Department.

Officials of the prefectures and counties in Qiongzhou are temporarily in their duties and waiting for the dispatch, and then make a decision after the examiner of the General Office, asking each prefecture to recommend talents to the court to use. At the same time, explain it to the people that the General Office came to Qiong to fight against the invasion of the Mongols. There is no need to panic. Do not take the opportunity to set up a name to collect donations and harass the people. In addition, each prefecture and county should organize the corresponding documents and account books as soon as possible, and organize the granaries for inspection by each department.
