Since we need to train troops, there are three "preliminary projects" that need to be done in advance, namely the Qing army, the Gou army and the army reorganization.
The so-called Qing army means to find out the specific situation of the current army, including but not limited to finding out the number of personnel, old and weak, disabled, etc., and to find out the specific number of ordnance in the army, the quality of maintenance, spare inventory and other details.
The so-called hooking up the army actually refers to conscription. In view of the overall situation of the Liaodong Guardsmen, and the fact that southern Liaoning has fewer wars, its armaments are likely to be weaker than those in western Liaoning and even eastern Liaoning, so recruitment and recruitment are mostly inevitable.
As for the reorganization of the army, it can be roughly regarded as reorganization. This is Gao's pragmatic approach. When he was in Annan, he reorganized the surrendered troops several times, and they all went through simple reorganization before proceeding to the next step of operations. Now in Liaonan, he also We plan to use this successful experience.
As Jin Fuhai Gaibei, Gao Pragmatic certainly has the power to do these things, but Gao Pragmatic is not someone who has never worked at the grassroots level. He knows that when the master of military preparation gives an order, although the subordinates will definitely move, the execution will never be done. It's too "awesome", especially the Qing army.
The corruption of the guard station is really freezing. Not to mention that officers at all levels from the commander on down are members of this "corruption system", and they themselves will not have the subjective initiative of the "Qing army". Even if the commander takes the wrong medicine and is really willing to figure out something extremely offensive like the military, he can easily be deceived and deceived by the officers at all levels below, and the results may not be trustworthy.
Therefore, Gao Pragmatic wanted to transfer General Xuan to the "Qing Army" of the Liaonan Guards Station.
The generals of Xuanda belong to the direct lineage of the Gao Party. Although they still have a lot of bad debts in Xuanda, they are not necessarily any cleaner than the generals of Liaodong. They are probably on the same level as the eldest brother and the second brother, but they are allowed to clean up the Liaodong Health Center. , especially when there are "direct bosses" from above who are holding the battle, but they really don't necessarily dare!
Anyway, after I finish this job, I will return to Xuanda sooner or later, and I will not settle in Liaodong. If I offend others, I will offend others. What should I be afraid of? Offending your Liaodong generals is much less trouble than offending your backers, right? I still don’t understand this account?
This is the main reason why Gao pragmatically transferred Ma Dong, Ma Chengen and Zhang Wanbang. It does not mean that Gao pragmatically thinks that the Liaodong generals are incapable of fighting, or that they dare not listen to his orders during the war.
At least the generals of Liaodong still have some fighting ability for now. As for whether they will disobey orders during the war - you think that I, the military commander, have done nothing to supervise the army, and you will not dare to kill people?
Besides, the Ming Dynasty judged merit by beheading. Although Li Chengliang defeated many enemy armies in the original history, the cumulative number of beheadings was only 5,600. He was already "a frontier commander who has not been seen in two hundred years." However, he was so pragmatic and indifferent. How many people were killed in the first battle in the South? All these military exploits must be attributed to him, the "commander-in-chief"!
With his current prestige in the military world and the fact that he is the most favored civil servant in the Ming Dynasty, what does it mean to kill a few generals who disobey orders?
Li Chengliang lost one of Li Rugui's nephews, but he quickly transferred Kong Dongru away without saying a word. Why? I'm not afraid of breaking another one, so I might as well leave Liaonan to Gao Pangshi!
This is the so-called "If I can't offend you, why can't I hide from you?"
For the time being, Li Chengliang can indeed afford to hide, because Gao is very pragmatic and has no intention of trying to get over the line. Now he is focused on rectifying Liaonan.
After another seven or eight days, Ma Dong, who had been rushing all the way slowly, finally arrived. What's even more amazing is that he also picked up his father Ma Fang when he was in Kaiping.
As soon as the two men arrived in Gaizhou, Gao Bingxian opened the city to greet them. For the generals, this was so grand that Ma Dong almost shed tears.
Of course, Ma Dong also knew that if he were the only one who came, Gao Bingxian would probably be sitting at the Bingxian Yamen waiting for him to come over to see him. The reason why he was able to open the city to greet him was entirely because of his old man's face.
But that's not important. What's important is that Gao Bingxian is giving his Ma family face!
Ma Fang himself was also very excited. He had worked hard all his life, how could he not know what the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were like? When he was still serving as the commander-in-chief, even a prefect dared to show off in front of him, speak slowly and unhurriedly, and even some county magistrates who were Jinban Jinshi dared to be polite in front of him.
But who is his current boss Gao Bingxian? The six champions of Annan and Dingbei!
Such a person can actually come to the city to welcome him. This face alone is enough for him to "flee south and return" to help him wholeheartedly!
So when Gao Pingshi stepped forward with a smile and was about to hand over his hand, Ma Fang, Ma Dong and his son had already stood up and dismounted. Without saying a word, they prostrated themselves on the road, saying in succession: "The military ceremony is too heavy, I am ashamed of myself (the last general)." I don’t dare to take it, I feel ashamed to take it!”
Gao pragmatic laughed and stepped forward, supported Ma Fang with both hands, patted the old general on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "I wanted to ask the old general to spend his old days in Kaiping. Just give me a few words of advice to the servants in your spare time. Unexpectedly, His Majesty's grace is so great that I, a weak scholar, am in charge of such a large place as southern Liaoning. I am very cautious about the actual situation. Even if I work hard and sleep late, I may not be able to handle it well... Especially since there are many wars in Liaodong, I am even more afraid of the arrogance and inertia of the generals in southern Liaoning. , I missed the emperor's important event, so I had no choice but to ask Brother Chongzhai to come forward and invite the old commander here."
After saying that, he immediately turned to Ma Dong, bent down and stretched out his hand to help him: "Brother Chongzhai, although you and I have never met in the past, we are not outsiders. Please come up quickly."
Although Gao Pingshi was giving a false support, Ma Dong did not dare to let him help him. He stood up and bowed slightly: "Dong has admired the reputation of Bing Xian for a long time. Now he can serve under Bing Xian. I am really lucky. Dong has always been here." I’m clumsy, I have no other words to say, just four words: Even if I die, I won’t give up!”
He said he was clumsy. Ma Fang had mentioned this to Gao Pragmatic before, but today he said it very smoothly. He must have thought about and practiced this sentence countless times along the way. .
Gao pragmatic laughed: "Why die? If I can kill you Ma Chongzhai, who will dare to work under me in the future? Besides, the old commander has been in the border areas for decades and is powerful in the world. You are the son of the old commander. , you are a hero, who in southern Liaoning can put you to death?"
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Ma Dong felt ashamed and said: "Bing Xian has given me too much praise. My father often said that my two brothers are unworthy and cannot imitate half of his abilities. Now that Bing Xian says so, Dong is really getting more and more frightened, for fear of ruining my father's reputation."
Gao pragmatic smiled and looked towards Ma Fang, only to see Ma Fang snort, and said with a straight face: "Do you think I was just talking casually when I scolded you two?"
Then Chao Gao pragmatically said: "Dong... Military constitution, let's be honest. In terms of martial arts, the two brothers Quanzi are actually not inferior to Lao Chen now. When it comes to marching and formation, they are 70% to 80% good, but with this temperament, they are really ineffective. .”
He sighed and said: "As for today's situation, if it were the old man back then, I would have mentioned one, two, three, four to you without saying a word, and talked about Liaonan's military affairs first, but you Look at him, all he knows is that he will fight to the death! Ha, fight to the death? You are a soldier and feed yourself, fighting to the death is what you should do, so you have nothing to say!"
Ma Dong was scolded by his father in front of Gao Pragmatic, but he only blushed and did not dare to show any dissatisfaction, let alone refute.
Seeing that he was pitiful, Gao pragmatic said to Ma Fang: "Stop being angry, old man. Anyone with a father like you will probably have this kind of temper. Don't blame Wansheng for talking about this - it's your responsibility In fact, it’s bigger.”
Ma Fang didn't expect Gao Pragmatic to say this, but he wasn't angry either. He just said in surprise: "The old man's responsibility is even greater? Why?"
Look, you are already a retired cadre. When you talk, you always say "why" instead of "why". Isn't this clear? Your temper is here, and your son is always trembling under your authority. Can you have the courage and courage to do so?

An old book friend asked about the historical evolution of the word "adult". This question is actually quite interesting. I will briefly describe it in a few sentences if the plot is suitable later. However, if I can't explain it in a few words, I may just explain it directly. Give the paper a title and let interested friends read it themselves. I got scolded too much, sorry.
