The tacit cooperation with Leader Liu makes it easier to fight.

After hearing this, Zhang Xing was noncommittal and instead asked, "Does Dou Longtou know that you are digging into Gaojibo's wall like this?"

Liu Heifu immediately frowned: "What did the chief say? We are all helping each other, who is in the corner of whom?"

"Of course this is correct." Zhang Xing couldn't help laughing. "But one pot of rice must be put into individual bowls to eat... The people in Gaojibo entered the waterpool with Dou Longtou, and then ate water and grass together.

They have been married to each other for more than a year, and Dou Longtou is the leader. Otherwise, how could he become the representative of the Hebei Rebel Army and become the leader?"

Liu Heifu also smiled: "What the chief said is true, but isn't Brother Dou far away in Youzhou? That's what everyone wants, but they all want to stay here in Daxingtai so that they can fight in the big war... and Daxingtai

Among the people who lead troops in Xingtai, I am the most outstanding among the Hebei Rebels. At this time, of course I have to make up for the mistakes of the chief and Brother Dou."

"That's right, you have to shoulder the responsibilities you should shoulder, but you have to shoulder them openly... You write a letter to Dou Longtou, and then write a letter to Xu Dalang, explaining the people and things clearly, you should

They are the big leaders and have the responsibility of recommendation." Zhang Xing finally gave instructions. "I will ask Xu Dalang to take a special look at these people. If they are indeed skilled in military affairs and really want to stay, then let them be given priority among their peers.

.”

Liu Heifu nodded immediately... No matter what, the matter was finally settled, and he could stand up to anyone he could answer.

However, he still felt that it was not neat enough because Zhang Xing did not agree directly.

At this thought, the person couldn't help but ask: "Chief, I wanted to ask you a month ago, why do you think you are not paying attention to business now?"

"How can I ignore business?" Zhang Xing asked in surprise. "Military reform? If I were to take charge of appointments below the leader, wouldn't it be exhausting? In terms of personnel, taking charge of appointments above the leader is pretty good."

"Having said that, the chief is obviously still taking care of other things...just like this blind date. I also know that the chief wants to take the opportunity to bridge the factions within the gang and unite the north and the south, but he won't personally take charge, right?" Liu Heifu

He expressed his true thoughts.

"Why do you think I am supervising the North-South Unity?" Zhang Xing was slightly surprised.

"Isn't that true?" Liu Heifu was really puzzled.

"I do these things to make the people believe that this gang, this Ming Dynasty, can really allow them to live a peaceful life." Zhang Xing replied with a sigh.

Liu Heifu was a little confused.

"If the people believe in us, we will be able to mobilize more manpower and material resources, so that we can have more advantages on the battlefield that is about to begin, and we can unify the world faster." Zhang Xing added.

Liu Heifu understood now.

Zhang Xing stood up and left. Leader Liu took the initiative to pay the bill at the back, and then they entered the Xuanwu Gate together.

Summer generally goes by very quickly, especially when one is relatively idle... In fact, this kind of psychology is also very strange, because in a war-torn world, this kind of peaceful life itself should be what people pursue.

right.

But in fact, because of the threat of war, people always feel that this kind of life is unreal and that this kind of life is preparing for war.

That seems right.

After all, battles have to be fought... Nothing in the world is easy except fighting.

Entering May, Henan has entered the annual plum rain season, and Hebei has also begun to have typical May rains from time to time... Things in Yecheng are going very well. In the absence of war activities, the militaristic system has promoted

All other tasks are always fast and efficient.

After expanding Yecheng and incorporating Beidi, the big bank directly under the gang that Zhang Xing wanted was also established. According to the gang's political tradition, this bank specially formed a small department to answer to the big leader Cao Xi. The whole process went smoothly and without any problems.

People object.

Even the blind date seemed to be particularly successful. No matter how Zhang Xing put value on his behavior, the fact is that what Liu Heifu said makes sense... After many years of fighting, he has only had some breathing space since last year.

, to this day

In 2000, marriage and childbirth became the mainstream in Yecheng palace, and it was obvious that Chief Zhang was deliberately promoting the development of Henan, Hebei, Dongjing, Beidi, and even Jianghuai through the old ladies from Dongjun and Jiyin.

The parties' marriages merge.

As for the routine military reforms and military reorganization that must be carried out after the success of every military activity, they are also proceeding step by step. Arrangements at the leadership level have also been completed. A total of sixty field battalions plus twenty military laws are now being formulated.

, patrol cavalry, civil engineering battalions, plus 80 logistics, garrison, and military garrison camps, totaling a military restructuring plan of 160 battalions.

That's right, from the perspective of field troops, the Gang does not seem to be expanding its army aggressively after capturing Youzhou, Hejian, Beidi, and Northern Shanxi. They originally had sixty or seventy battalions, but now they have only added a dozen or so.

, the biggest point seems to be the orderly construction of a strong reserve force of up to 160,000 people, almost equivalent to the field force.

However, there is an obvious strategic deception here - Xu Shiying, in accordance with Zhang Xing's request, secretly projected the new Northland military forces to Li Ding and his surroundings through garrison, logistics, patrol, and civil engineering camps.

At the Xingtai, a strategically-heavy force group with as many as 50,000 troops, and up to 70,000 with full support, was actually built.

Therefore, if the military reform of the Bang is successful, once the Bang is mobilized in the future, it will appear to have a total of 160,000 conventional field troops. In fact, there will be about 190,000 field troops. The extra 30,000 will be roughly

It is distributed in Xixingtai in Beidi where Li Ding is located, and the other four Xingtai around Xixingtai, that is, the remaining two Xingtai in Beidi, plus Youzhou Xingtai and Kuhai-Shanbei Xingtai where Zhou Xingfan is located.

At that time, Zhang Xing's whole-map pincer offensive can be easily launched.

All in all, entering this year's gang, at least here in Yecheng, everything seems to be very successful and smooth, but it is also inexplicably rushed and anxious.

On the seventh day of May, during a thunderstorm, many sentries rushed from the direction of the river and reported a jaw-dropping news to Yecheng - Chang, the leader of this round of military reforms, was turned into the commander-in-chief of the garrison camp.

Negative, because he was squeezed out of the field army and his bank business was controlled, he took advantage of Henan's typical plum rainy weather and fled to Huaiyang County almost alone. Through the prefect Zhao Tuo, he asked Sima Zheng to surrender.

Before leaving, he left a letter scolding Zhang Xing and Xu Shiying for their unfair dealings.

For a time, Yecheng was shaken.

And soon, the whole gang became nervous - Shan Tonghai rushed to Yecheng in person almost that night, requesting troops to be sent to Long Prison Pass to force Dongdu to return the people; including the military department, most of the people

The officials in Daxingtai, Yecheng, all believed that they should take the opportunity to tear up the contract until next year and attack the eastern capital.

Zhang Xing refused these and just asked Xie Minghe to use diplomatic channels to find people.

They had been noisy with each other for half a month, and when the rainy season was about to end, Sima Zheng gave a reply that he had gone to Xidu on his own. Daying seemed to welcome the traitors of the gang, especially since the gang had just carried out more than half of its military reforms. It is said that

Chang Fu was directly awarded the first rank of casual official and the governor of a county in Guanzhong. Obviously, as long as Chang Fu stabilizes, according to the usual practice, he will get this actual position, and then wait for the first meritorious service to add the title.

Being alone, this is the case. This is a typical preferential treatment for surrendering people. It refers to the practice of the Wei Dynasty in surrendering people to Eastern Qi and Southern Chen.

At this time, Zhang Xing did not hesitate anymore and ordered Zhou Xingfan and Hong Changya to launch a retaliatory attack on Jin. The size of the army was limited to two rows.

At the end of May, Zhou Xingfan led 10,000 troops to knock on the tower and attack the pass. Almost on the same day, Wang Chenkuo, who had become a loyal minister of the British, led 7,000 troops to invade Hengshan in the opposite direction, forcing Hong Changya to return to the army.

However, there was no result yet in the Jin Dynasty. Someone suddenly came from Huainan. Du Pozhen sent people to inform Yecheng of the news - there was civil strife in the Southern Liang Dynasty, and the Liang leader Xiao Hui wanted to use the troops of the Huaiyou Alliance to quell the rebellion.

It was said to be a request for instructions, but it was actually a notice, because Du Po Zhen should have already sent troops by now, and Yecheng had indeed promised Du Po Zhen to give him the opportunity and power to act on his own initiative.

In other words, fighting started in the south as well.

It seems that the war will not leave this chaotic world so easily... So, Zhang Xing personally hosted another round of blind dates in June, and Bai Yousi began to patrol Huaibei.
Chapter completed!
