Ye Mingsheng, who was smiling, put down the harvest list in his hand and asked Ye Tie beside him:
"How's the trial of those bandit leaders going?"
For the trial of these bandit leaders, Ye Mingsheng initially handed him over to He Jingyun, although there was some turmoil between him and He Jingyun at the beginning.
But as time went by, perhaps because he recognized the reality and felt Ye Mingsheng's ambition and methods, He Jingyun also became stable, became honest, and worked for Ye Mingsheng down-to-earth!
It has to be said that although during this period, the strength of the Fengzhou Army has made great progress, its strength has expanded several times, and Ye Mingsheng has many more generals...
But even so, Ye Mingsheng still needs to admit that, except for Gu Sansi, the military advisor, all the generals under his command are counted. In terms of ability alone, He Jingyun is unique and no one can match him.
After seeing the changes made by He Jingyun, for the better development of Fengzhou Army and to be able to stand at the forefront of this troubled world, Ye Mingsheng was also willing to make the best use of his talents, so he began to gradually He intends to gradually delegate power to He Jingyun.
This task of interrogating these bandit leaders can be said to be Ye Mingsheng's small test of He Jingyun. Those bandit leaders are all worth a fortune, and they are willing to do anything to survive, so this is a lucrative task. , Ye Mingsheng wanted to see what He Jingyun would do in secret...
However, he did not expect that He Jingyun would assign the task to Ye Tie and kick the ball back to Ye Mingsheng.
Originally, Ye Mingsheng was somewhat looking forward to what He Jingyun would do, but for He Jingyun's actions this time, Ye Mingsheng still gave him a passing grade in his heart. At least this showed that He Jingyun recognized his identity and learned to know how to advance and retreat!
After hearing Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Ye Tie said respectfully:
"A total of 387 bandits should be tried. The trial is currently halfway through. Among them, 29 bandits can be confirmed to be sentenced to death for serious crimes, 36 to be sentenced to labor, and 151 to be punished for misdemeanors. people!"
"The fines collected so far are nearly 170,000 taels of silver, and various gold and silver utensils have not been included!"
Hearing Ye Tie's story, Ye Mingsheng nodded with satisfaction. These bandits were really ignorant, just like the Ming Dynasty nobles before Li Zicheng broke the imperial capital. They had to do it themselves. It was really disrespectful. Since If you don't look good, I will help you look good!
"How are the soldiers below now?" Ye Mingsheng seemed to have thought of something, and asked Ye Tie:
Hearing this question, Ye Tie hesitated, as if he didn't know what to say. Seeing his appearance, Ye Mingsheng frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:
"You tell the truth and I will make my own judgment!"
Seeing that Ye Mingsheng seemed a little angry, Ye Tie quickly said:
"Many of the brothers below began to relax a little. Some molested the bandits' families, and some robbed some property. However, those who did these things were basically people who joined later. The old brothers we brought from Fengzhou rarely do this. This kind of thing..."
Ye Mingsheng looked a little helpless when he heard this. After winning the battle, he harassed the women of the defeated and robbed their money. This was a very common phenomenon in this feudal era, not to mention that in order to expand his military strength, Ye Mingsheng also planned to Ten thousand captured bandits were absorbed into his Fengzhou army.
Although Ye Mingsheng had already selected those who committed the most heinous crimes and killed people to establish his authority just in case, bandits were still bandits after all. It is naturally unrealistic to completely change them in just ten days and make them abide by the law and become qualified soldiers.
For this kind of thing, Ye Mingsheng actually knew it in his heart when he expanded the army. He still used both kindness and power, using blood to make people awe, and using heavy rewards to make people grateful. He immediately recruited Ye Dong in He ordered:
"Pass on my military order. Anyone who violates military discipline will be dealt with severely! In addition, take out another fifty thousand taels of silver and distribute it to the brothers!"
After dealing with the most difficult problem at hand, the next thing Ye Mingsheng had to do was to arrange for manpower to take over the towns and cities in Liaoyang. As the prefecture with the most severe banditry in Liaoyang, the government of Whisao Prefecture had basically existed in name only. The situation··················
After Ji Qiwei's defeat, Baihu Mountain was breached, Zhensanshan died, and Posuo Mansion did not have any force to compete with Ye Mingsheng, these villages, counties and cities could basically transfer weapons to each other.
But in order to better control his own territory, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and live a happy and happy life as soon as possible without fear, Ye Mingsheng has determined to eliminate all the banditry in the Posuo Mansion and restore a bright future to hundreds of thousands of people!
After a short period of thinking, Ye Mingsheng ordered the three troops of Ye Tie, Guo Zhiping, and Xun Ke to take over the villages and towns from different directions and eliminate the banditry wherever they existed.
Ye Mingsheng plans to give the entire territory of Posu Mansion the surname Ye within a month, so that his orders can flow unimpeded in this tortured land.
As for Ye Mingsheng himself, after completing the trial of the Baihushan bandits, he will lead his troops to the city of Posua and take over the political and economic center of Posua...
"Sir, this is a training plan for the newly recruited brothers. Sir, can you see what's wrong?" He Jingyun and Chen Chuanwu walked into Ye Mingsheng's camp together and presented a plan to Ye Mingsheng. Ming Sheng.
Although the soldiers absorbed have expanded the strength of Ye Mingsheng's men and enhanced the strength of the Fengzhou Army, everything has pros and cons, and their existence has also brought some problems to the Fengzhou Army.
First of all, their quality is uneven. Their combat style still follows their past habit of fighting alone when they were bandits and relying on personal bravery. They do not have a good sense of coordination and cooperation with various arms.
And because they were not equipped with firearms when they were bandits before, they were also very unfamiliar with the use of firearms.
Secondly, although Ye Mingsheng has severely dealt with some personnel who violated military discipline and disobeyed discipline, this only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. They still need training to strengthen military discipline and obedience awareness in their minds... ·······
The third and final point is that Ye Mingsheng does not want these people to become a group of mercenaries who only know how to get paid to do things. They are extremely brave when fighting against the wind, but they become like birds and beasts when fighting against the wind and flee in all directions. Therefore, Ye Mingsheng wants to promote these people. Loyalty to themselves improves their ability to withstand pressure and their resilience during combat, allowing them to work honestly for themselves.
In view of the above three reasons, Ye Mingsheng asked He Jingyun to draw up a training plan as soon as possible two days ago to achieve his goal.
Looking at the plan written by He Jingyun, Ye Mingsheng felt that there was no big problem, so he put down the plan and looked at Chen Chuanwu who was standing next to He Jingyun and asked with a smile:
"This time I ask you to serve as General He's deputy. What do you think of Chuanwu?"
Upon hearing Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Chen Chuanwu said respectfully:
"Thank you for the arrangement, Lord Commander. I will definitely try my best to assist General He and train these new soldiers into a victorious division!"
Ye Mingsheng smiled and said:
"If I remember correctly Chuanwu, you will already be in your twenties this year, right?"
Although I don’t know why Ye Mingsheng mentioned this, Chen Chuanwu also said truthfully:
"Your Majesty, you are right, I will be born in the year of Tiger, and I am exactly twenty-five years old this year..."
Ye Mingsheng nodded and said with emotion:
"When I first met you, I knew that you were a priceless piece of jade, but it just needed to be polished. I didn't expect that you would become a general so quickly that you could stand alone!"
Listening to Ye Mingsheng's praise, Chen Chuanwu was not a fool. He could vaguely feel the meaning of Ye Mingsheng's words, and he gradually became excited, but he still said very sincerely:
"Thank you for your promotion and cultivation, sir. If it weren't for your appreciation, I would still be a small captain in the Shenwu Army!"
Seeing Chen Chuanwu's humble look, Ye Mingsheng nodded with satisfaction and said:
"You performed very well in this battle. Now it's time to put more burdens on you!"
"After the new recruits are trained this time, you select 3,000 people to form the sixth battalion, and you will be the leader!"
Although Chen Chuanwu had been mentally prepared for Ye Mingsheng's words just now, he was still overjoyed when he actually heard Ye Mingsheng's words. He bowed to Ye Mingsheng sincerely and said:
"You will never be able to repay your kindness, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
When Chen Chuanwu said this, he was sincere and spoke from the bottom of his heart. When he was in the Shenwu Army, he saw that a small capital was about to reach its peak. He did not dare to sink into oblivion. He followed the path of his uncle Chen Yannian and moved toward Ye Mingsheng. He recommended himself and was sent to Liaoyang by Ye Mingsheng. It was Ye Mingsheng who promoted him from the capital to the post commander, then from the post commander to the deputy commander, and now he has become the orthodox leader... ······
Chen Chuanwu, who came to Liaoyang with full of hope a year ago, although he firmly believed that following Ye Mingsheng was the right choice, he never expected that Ye Mingsheng would promote himself so quickly!
Regarding Chen Chuanwu's loyalty, Ye Mingsheng stood up, patted his shoulder and said:
"Work hard! Your future is limitless!"
"Yes!" Chen Chuanwu said excitedly:
After arranging to leave Chen Chuanwu, Ye Mingsheng pondered for a moment, then turned his attention to He Jingyun and asked:
"What do you think of the organization and deployment of our army?"
Hearing Ye Mingsheng's question, He Jingyun fell into thinking. Ye Mingsheng's question was actually what he expected.
After all, although the Fengzhou Army has only increased by 10,000 people, in view of the current cloudy situation in Liaoyang and the large amount of money and food seized in this battle, the Fengzhou Army has solved the most difficult financial problem.
Therefore, it is foreseeable that the Fengzhou Army, which is no longer constrained by financial problems, is now facing a situation where a war is about to break out. Large-scale military expansion and recruitment are already a certainty, and there is no suspense... ···
Once a large-scale recruitment and expansion of the army occurs, it means that the original five battalions of the Fengzhou Army will no longer apply to the current situation, and changes to the organization and deployment are imminent.
According to Ye Mingsheng's past behavior style, he will not act arbitrarily and work alone behind closed doors. He will listen to the opinions of his subordinates and then synthesize these opinions to come up with a feasible plan.
In He Jingyun's view, being able to listen to and absorb the opinions of others is one of Ye Mingsheng's great strengths, and it is also one of the important magic weapons that allowed him to lead the Fengzhou Army to develop so rapidly in such a short period of time.
And once Ye Mingsheng wants to find someone for advice, he, who has always been regarded as the second-largest figure in the Fengzhou Army, will definitely bear the brunt, so He Jingyun has also prepared his thoughts early.
But now something unexpected happened, that is, Ye Mingsheng formed the sixth battalion and appointed Chen Chuanwu as its commander. Ye Mingsheng promoted Chen Chuanwu, which was what he should do in the eyes of He Jingyun.
Although Chen Chuanwu was not like Ye Tie, Lin Huaiwu was among the group of subordinates who were with Ye Mingsheng from the beginning, but later joined the group with himself and Yuan Song.
However, he has been following Ye Mingsheng for a long time, and he is loyal to Ye Mingsheng and has made many achievements. In addition, Ye Mingsheng is now in a period of employment, so promoting him to commander is also a sign of loyalty and loyalty to him. The greatest reward for your hard work···················
What really surprised He Jingyun was that Ye Mingsheng actually asked Chen Chuanwu to recruit 3,000 recruits to form the sixth battalion. Does this mean that Ye Mingsheng has fully considered the next reform of the Fengzhou Army's establishment and deployment?
If this is the case, are my own thoughts consistent with Ye Mingsheng's considerations?
Because he couldn't figure out what Ye Mingsheng was thinking, He Jingyun decided to say less. If he and Ye Mingsheng disagreed, he would have room for maneuver. He had already made a decision in his heart, and after thinking about his words, he He opened his mouth and said:
"Next, the situation in Liaoyang and even the entire Great Zhou Dynasty may undergo drastic changes, so our army needs to expand its forces on a large scale to cope with the changes in the situation. In addition, it is best to stabilize the Khitan side, so that our army can focus on Liaoyang at the moment. The change!"
Seeing He Jingyun speaking so vaguely, Ye Mingsheng frowned slightly and was a little dissatisfied with his cautiousness. However, since He Jingyun was so cautious, he couldn't say anything. He could only say something to attract attention:
"Mr. Gu, he did not go out with the army this time. He was just dealing with the Khitan affairs. Now we have some clues. I am going to transfer Yuan Song and Lin Huaiwu out, and let Hou Xunke garrison Xinfa County and Ye Tie garrison Feng. Zhoucheng, what do you think?"
