Early the next morning after Liang Fuchen arrived at Huamachi, he summoned all the middle-level military attachés of the "Weifang Army".
The "Wei**" is a new army trained by Qi Bin himself, but without Liang Fuchen's strong support, the "Wei**" would never have the scale and achievements it has today.
It can be said that Liang Fuchen's devotion to the "Wei Dynasty" was not much worse than Qi Bin's.
Since learning the news of Qi Bin's death in battle, Liang Fuchen was saddened by Qi Bin's untimely death, and was also very worried that the "Wei Dynasty" would gradually weaken and disappear because of Qi Bin's death in battle.
At this time, the candidate for the new leader of "Wei**" becomes very important.
Therefore, Liang Fuchen also attached great importance to this summons. He wanted to personally select a successor for Qi Bin.
*
On the other side, after being summoned by Liang Fuchen, the middle-level military attachés of the "Guardians" quickly rushed to the Governor's Mansion.
In the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, more than a dozen military attachés from the "Guard Guard", led by Deputy General Niu Ji, all knelt down on one knee and saluted, and said at the same time: "I have seen Elder Liang Ge!"
Their voices were not loud, but they were energetic and orderly.
Liang Fuchen nodded, raised his hand to support him and said: "Everyone, please get up quickly!...Speaking of which, 'Wei**' was also created by me, and it is the accumulation of a lot of my hard work. Everyone is not an outsider, so there is no need to talk too much." That’s it.”
Hearing what Liang Fuchen said, all the military attachés felt a touch of kindness in their hearts and stood up one after another.
After the military attaches stood up, Liang Fuchen did not speak immediately, but looked around carefully at the people in front of him.
The "Wei Army" was only established for two short years, and most of the military attaches in the "Wei Army" were young people. Even Niu Ji, the oldest deputy general among them, was only in his early thirties.
These young military attachés stood in front of Liang Fuchen. They all held their heads high and behaved competently, giving people a sense of vitality.
But Liang Fuchen was keenly aware of the confusion and hesitation hidden deep in the eyes of these military attaches.
Obviously, because of Qi Bin's unfortunate death in battle, this army has lost its backbone and backbone, and its current vigor and vigor are only superficial.
After discovering this, Liang Fuchen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and felt even more sorry for Qi Bin's untimely death.
"Huh?"
At this moment, Liang Fuchen suddenly let out a light sigh.
This time Liang Fuchen only summoned all the middle-level military attachés of the "Weifang". The military attachés standing in front of Liang Fuchen now all have military positions of thousands and hundreds of households.
However, just as Liang Fuchen was looking around, he found a low-level military attache wearing the uniform of a flag officer mixed in among the crowd.
Such a discovery made Liang Fuchen feel a little confused. He knew that the military attachés of the "Guide Army" would never disobey his orders casually. There must be a reason for them to bring the chief flag officer to him.
But Liang Fuchen did not ask immediately. Instead, he turned his attention to Lieutenant General Niu Ji and asked: "After hearing the news that Qi Bin died in the battle, I was so heartbroken that I didn't sleep well all night. I have always regarded Qi Bin as my nephew." , this incident is also a huge blow to me! But you can't just focus on the heartache. You are elite soldiers trained by Qi Bin himself. You are all tough men. From now on, you will definitely become the backbone of the imperial army, but you must Just work harder and become stronger!”
After a slight nod, Liang Fuchen asked again: "Niu Ji, come and tell me the current specific situation of the 'Weifang'! After Qi Bin died in the battle, how was the morale of the soldiers? Can they maintain their usual drills?" Are the logistics and military pay provided to you by Machi Camp guaranteed?"
Deputy General Niu Ji said quickly: "I dare not hide it from Mr. Liang Ge. Ever since Commander Qi died in the battle, the morale of the soldiers has been a bit low. Now Huamachi Camp has gathered troops from all over Shaanxi and Gansu. There is obviously insufficient space, so daily There is no guarantee of hard work...but logistics and military pay are not owed."
After saying that, Niu Ji's face was full of shame, and he obviously felt that he had not done well.
After hearing Niu Ji's answer, Liang Fuchen couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.
Logically speaking, after Qi Bin died in battle, Niu Ji had the highest military rank and the most seniority in the new army, so he should be the natural successor. However, Liang Fuchen never expected Niu Ji to take over from the beginning.
Niu Ji is a good assistant and an excellent executor, but his temperament is too honest, and he usually lacks enough initiative and courage. He does not have the temperament and talents that a military commander should have. , Neither can he fight for the interests of his comrades, nor can he convince the middle and lower-level military attachés, so Liang Fuchen will never hand over the "Guardian" to Niu Ji, otherwise this army will collapse soon.
But Liang Fuchen did not blame him. He knew that Niu Ji was just lacking in ability and talent, rather than carelessness in doing things, so Liang Fuchen just said slowly: "The daily training of 'Wei**' is the most important, it is the foundation." , there must not be any waste... Well, now I have returned to Huamachi Camp, succeeded Zhao Junchen as the full-power imperial envoy, and I will soon try to free up an exclusive place for you so that you can continue to practice!"
Hearing Liang Fuchen's promise, Niu Ji suddenly felt happy and said quickly: "Thank you, Mr. Liang Ge, for your love! From now on, I will train my soldiers carefully in my humble position, and I will never let Mr. Liang Ge down!"
Liang Fuchen asked again: "Drill matters are easy to solve, but the morale of the army has been low for a long time. After all, it is not a solution. Do you have any method to restore the morale of the soldiers as soon as possible?"
Niu Ji looked troubled and said: "There is not much we can do about our humble position. Commander Qi's prestige is too high. His death in battle was a huge blow to the soldiers. We can only slowly restore their morale."
Hearing Niu Ji's answer, Liang Fuchen shook his head secretly in his heart, completely giving up the idea of letting Niu Ji serve as the new commander of the 'Wei**'.
So, Liang Fuchen turned to look at the remaining ten military attachés and asked, "What can you do about the morale problem in the army?"
Liang Fuchen has served as the governor of the three sides for many years and has rich experience in running the army. Naturally, he has some means to restore the morale of the army, but he will not take the initiative to say it at this time, but wants to take the opportunity to examine the abilities and vision of these military attachés.
Unfortunately, under Liang Fuchen's expectant gaze, all the military attaches lowered their heads and remained silent.
Seeing this scene, Liang Fuchen couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It was a bit regretful, but also a bit natural.
When Qi Bin formed this new army, he completely copied the formation process of the "Qi Family Army". When recruiting troops, he would only recruit those "good family members" who were honest and responsible, and even rushed to Yiwu all the way to recruit soldiers. Those Yiwu miners who have the best sense of obedience.
And all the military attachés of the "Guardians" have this background. Even though they have all been promoted to become military attachés, they still have not completely gotten rid of their personalities before joining the army, and they still have the characteristics of miners and farmers. Traits.
This approach also has advantages and disadvantages. Before Qi Bin died in the battle, these people all had a very good sense of obedience. They were able to endure hardships and were willing to obey orders. The overall atmosphere within the army was also very simple and simple. During the battle, The practice is also tenacious.
But after Qi Bin died in the battle, it was impossible for these honest people who were accustomed to obeying orders to immediately show enough initiative and courage. They did not have such a nature, and their background constraints also made them lack sufficient knowledge and courage. vision.
Just when Liang Fuchen felt embarrassed, he suddenly heard someone say: "Mr. Liang Ge, regarding the morale of the army, I have been thinking about it these days, but now I have some immature ideas."
Hearing someone's answer, Liang Fuchen suddenly felt happy.
Then, Liang Fuchen discovered that the person who answered his question was the chief flag officer who strangely appeared here.
Seeing that the chief flag officer was willing to answer his questions proactively and spoke in a somewhat elegant manner, which was completely different from the behavior of the other military attachés present, Liang Fuchen couldn't help but become more curious about the identity of the chief flag officer.
Therefore, Liang Fuchen couldn't help but ask: "Who are you? Today I just summoned all the middle-level and above military attachés of the 'Wei**', and you are just a chief flag officer, so why are you here?"
After hearing Liang Fuchen's inquiry, Lieutenant General Niu Ji thought that Liang Fuchen meant to blame him, so he quickly explained: "I would like to inform Mr. Liang Ge. This man's name is Li He. Although he is only a general, he has great prestige in the army. But he is very high. Both the lower-level soldiers and us military attachés are very convinced of him! In fact, the humble post has already made a decision to recommend him to the official position of deputy 100 households... I heard you summoned the people in the army. After all the middle-level military attaches, I discussed it with my colleagues and thought that Li He would soon be promoted to middle-level, so I brought him here to see the world!"
"Oh? A mere flag officer can actually win the support of all the soldiers of the 'Guardian Army'?"
Liang Fuchen couldn't help but become more curious about Li He.
Even if Li He is promoted to deputy 100 households in the future, he is just a commander-in-chief now. Niu Ji and others have violated Liang Fuchen's order by bringing him to Liang Fuchen, but they would rather disobey the order than bring him with him. Li He came to see Liang Fuchen, obviously wanting Li He to reuse Li He.
Niu Ji replied again: "I am reporting this to Mr. Liang Ge. This is because Li He saved the lives and futures of all the military attachés in the army a few days ago. Without his efforts to turn the tide, I am afraid there would be no Wei** anymore." ' exists!"
Hearing what Niu Ji said, Liang Fuchen's expression suddenly became serious, and he quickly asked: "What is going on?"
"The Guards" was Liang Fuchen's passion. After hearing the news that this army was almost disbanded, Liang Fuchen was naturally extremely concerned.
So Niu Ji quickly replied: "After the Weishui War, because of the death of Commander Qi, the soldiers were all furious and unbearable, so they killed prisoners to vent their anger. But they didn't expect that the imperial envoy Zhao at that time A military order was issued strictly prohibiting anyone from killing prisoners of war. After Guyuan Commander-in-Chief Fang Zhenshan saw this situation, he personally showed up to stop and blame him. However, it turned into a conflict, and in the end all middle-level military attachés were implicated. , they were all detained by General Fang and were to be dealt with by military law...
At that time, first Commander Qi died in battle, and then all the middle-level military attachés were detained. The "Guardian Army" was completely in chaos and was about to collapse completely. Fortunately, Li He led a group of A batch of lower-level military attachés risked their lives and broke into the headquarters of the imperial envoy Zhao. After some arguments, they actually convinced the imperial envoy Zhao and exempted all the military attachés from their guilt...
But after the imperial envoy Zhao pardoned our crimes, he wanted to hold Li He and the others accountable for breaking into the commander's tent. At this time, Li He still took all the responsibility alone, and all the lower-level military attachés were saved. Fortunately, It was Shaanxi Inspector Zhou Bozhou who interceded for Li He and saved Li He's life, but he also received a heavy beating with a military stick..."
After listening to Niu Ji's explanation, Liang Fuchen was also frightened. He didn't expect that "Weifang" would have such a crisis.
And it is not an exaggeration to say that Li He's performance during this period "turned the tide"!
Liang Fuchen was even more amazed by Li He's responsibility and courage during this period.
After Liang Fuchen took a serious look at Li He, he nodded slowly and said: "So, you can be said to have saved the lives and futures of all the military attachés of the 'Wei**'. No wonder they admire you so much! ... You said you have a way. What is the way to restore the morale of the army? Tell us!"
At this time, Li He still looked capable with his head held high, and he did not waver or panic even when he was questioned by Liang Fuchen.
After hearing Liang Fuchen's inquiry, Li He said loudly: "Beizhi has thought of many ways these days, but most of them are just trivial means. But if you want to restore the morale of the army immediately, Beizhi thinks there is only one solution, and that is 'war'!"
"war?"
Hearing such an answer, Liang Fuchen couldn't help but be stunned.
This answer was completely beyond Liang Fuchen's expectations.
Li He said: "After I joined the army, I witnessed the training process of the 'Wei**' with my own eyes and personally participated in the training process of the 'Wei**, so I know very well how well-trained the 'Wei**' are. , orders and prohibitions, although the morale is now low, the foundation is still there, and it is still a strong army, but it has never had a chance to show its strength! Therefore, only 'fighting' can 'win'. After defeating the enemy, My comrades will understand how powerful they are, and know that their hard training is not in vain, and they will also receive military merit and silver medals, and the morale of the army will naturally be restored!"
After hearing Li He's explanation, Liang Fuchen looked at Li He again, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
Without him, Liang Fuchen actually saw the shadow of Qi Bin in Li He!
Qi Bin is also so confident that the new army he has trained with his own hands can defeat all enemies; Qi Bin is also so sharp-sighted and can always find the simplest way to solve problems; Qi Bin is also like this He is very courageous and will never change his mind as long as he is determined on something!
In fact, the similarities between Li He and Qi Bin are not limited to these aspects. There are many similarities between the changes in their expressions and the movements of their hands and feet.
At a certain moment, Liang Fuchen seemed to see Qi Bin resurrected and appeared in front of him.
Liang Fuchen had been heartbroken over the past two days because of Qi Bin's death in battle. Now that he saw Li He, a military attache who had a vague resemblance to Qi Bin, he suddenly felt close to him!
"This Li He is truly a talent! The responsibility and courage to take responsibility for his colleagues, the courage and insight to convince Zhao Junchen to change his mind, and the self-confidence to advocate using a war to restore the morale of the 'Guardians' With opinions...these are the qualities required by a general...It’s a pity that his current military rank is a bit low, otherwise, he would be the best candidate to succeed him!”
While thinking deeply, Liang Fuchen's eyes couldn't help but flicker.
However, Liang Fuchen did not know that the Li He in front of him was actually from the Zhao family in Yangzhou, and his real name was Zhao He. He was not only a pawn used by Zhao Junchen to infiltrate the "Wei Dynasty", but also Zhao Junchen's distant cousin!
Li He's original move to turn the tide and save Wei ** was just a scene between Zhao Junchen and Li He. Li He will appear in front of Liang Fuchen today because of Zhao Junchen's secret promotion.
Yesterday, Li He received a secret message from Zhao Junchen. One of the instructions was for Li He to try to imitate Qi Bin's expression and behavior after meeting Liang Fuchen, but he also wanted to take advantage of the deep relationship between Liang Fuchen and Qi Bin!
