On the afternoon of December 1, Lin Fengxiang's residence. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ouyang Shuo summoned the main generals of the Taiping Army in the main hall to discuss the reorganization of the army.

Before the meeting began, the atmosphere in the entire lobby was somewhat solemn.

First, not long after the first edict was issued, the second edict was issued.

The edict stated that from now on, Tianjing City would be completely handed over to the Praetorian Guard Division and the two Shanban Independent Divisions to take over. The 100,000 Taiping soldiers all stayed in the barracks and were not allowed to go out without a reason.

Clear-eyed people know that the Taiping Army and others were hung out.

Second, the landmark building of Tianjing City, Tianwang Palace, is being ruthlessly demolished. Whether it is the generals close to Yang Xiuqing or the sworn enemy of Hong Xiuquan hidden in the army, they are all concerned about this.

In this context, Ouyang Shuo's summoning of the generals meant that it was unusual.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the generals had already gathered, but they waited in the main hall for an hour, and Ouyang Shuo was late. And behind Ouyang Shuo, he was followed by Lin Yi and Shi Hu.

In addition, there is another person, he is Yang Xiuqing.

Before summoning the generals, Ouyang Shuo met with Yang Xiuqing alone, and the two talked secretly for more than an hour. After the discussion, Ouyang Shuo came out to meet the other generals.

Ouyang Shuo did this, naturally he was giving the Taiping Army generals eye medicine, sharpening their sharpness, and making them soberly realize who was the master of the current Tianjing City.

Compared with the routine meeting on the first day, Ouyang Shuo at this time suddenly became majestic, and the Mingguang armor on his body and the Chixiao sword on his waist added a bit of killing aura to him.

In the battle of Guiping Pass, Ouyang Shuo had an adventure, entered an epiphany, and the sword killing sword technique was instantly upgraded to the fourth order [mastery], and he comprehended the sword intent of killing the sword and the sixth style sword move [Cangsheng Kill] in one fell swoop.

As a result, Ouyang Shuo's Shura murderous aura condensed in his previous life and the newly generated killing aura in this life were completely integrated and mellow under the combination of the sword killing sword intent.

The newly generated killing aura is less bloody, more majestic, and more pure.

What's more, Ouyang Shuo can already control this killing qi freely, sending and receiving it from his heart. Usually not outstanding, only when Ouyang Shuo urges, will he rush towards a specific person.

At this time, the six Taiping Army generals in the lobby felt this uncompelling coercion. In an instant, some generals were already in a cold sweat, and they couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts.

Just this moment, Ouyang Shuo was completely subverted, and his gentle image when he met with civil and military officials the day before showed his iron-blooded and tough side to the generals.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Ouyang Shuo looked around and said, "You are all generals in command, so naturally you should know the importance of ordering a sect. Since you have returned to Shanhai City, the various ministries under your command should naturally be unified and reorganized in accordance with the establishment of Shanhai City. What do you think? ”

As soon as the words ended, there was silence in the lobby.

The generals in the hall looked at each other, and there were words of suffering in their hearts. At the moment of surrender, they thought that there would be a day when they would be reorganized, but they didn't expect that this day would come so quickly and so suddenly.

However, they have no way to refute it.

After all, it is customary for surrendered troops to undergo reorganization.

Except for Yang Xiuqing, among the six generals, two are Shi Dakai's left and right deputy generals, two are the chief generals and deputy generals of the 50,000 garrison of Tianjing City, and the other two are the generals of the local garrison.

Among the six people, the two local garrison generals had the least right to speak. The local garrison troops who rushed to King Qin from all walks of life together were only 30,000, and they were all ordinary soldiers, and their combat strength was worrying.

But one of the two is named Lin Qirong, who is a diehard loyalist of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan. For this person, Ouyang Shuo has decided to eliminate it directly after the meeting.

The remaining one, named Yang Fuqing, is insignificant. If he was interested, Ouyang Shuo wouldn't mind and would support this person as the leader of the local garrison.

Although it is said that the current leaders are no longer of much significance.

Although Shi Dakai resigned from the army and traveled far away, his left and right lieutenants were actually firmly in control of the remnants of the 20,000 Western Route Army. This army was able to successfully escort Shi Dakai to break through in the midst of ten thousand troops, which shows that its strength is really the elite of the 200,000 Western Route Army.

Shi Dakai's left general, named Hu Yihuang, has made it clear to Yang Xiuqing that he is willing to surrender to Shanhai City. Neither the Military Intelligence Department nor the Black Snake Guard detected any anomalies in this person, so there should be no major problems.

Yang Xiuqing was able to take over the army smoothly, and Hu Yihuang made great contributions.

As for the right general, named Shi Zhenji, his attitude is a little ambiguous. Shi Zhenji is not a diehard loyalist of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, but a diehard loyalist of Shi Dakai, and what's more, he is still Shi Dakai's brother.

Although Shi Dakai voluntarily withdrew from the shocking competition, in Shi Zhenji's eyes, he thought that it was Yang Xiuqing who forced his clan brother away.

Therefore, Shi Zhenji naturally has a grudge against Yang Xiuqing. Incidentally, Shi Zhenji didn't have much of a good impression of Shanhai City, and even had a faint hint of resistance.

For Shi Zhenji, Ouyang Shuo still focuses on wooing. First, Shi Zhenji, as Shi Dakai's brother, has a very high prestige in the Western Route Army, and if he takes over Shi Dakai's class. Second, considering that there is still the possibility of wooing Shi Dakai in the future, Ouyang Shuo naturally knows that there is a line in doing things.

As for the 50,000 garrisons in Tianjing City, it is also an elite force, otherwise, Hong Xiuquan would not have assured that he would hand over the base camp to this army to guard.

The chief general of the 50,000 garrison is named Zeng Tianyang, and the deputy general is named Qin Rigang. Zeng Tianyang is a veteran and a diehard loyalist of the king Hong Xiuquan. It's just that this person is sophisticated and sleek, knows that things can't be done, and on the surface he is subservient to Yang Xiuqing's leadership, but in fact, he has always been secretly evil.

Therefore, Zeng Tianyang was also the most unstable factor in the 100,000 Taiping army. As the chief general of the Tianjing City garrison, his control of this army is more than a step stronger than Yang Xiuqing.

In addition, this person is an old fox, and he is extremely respectful to Yang Xiuqing on the surface, which makes people unable to find fault with it, and he is very supported by the sergeants.

Once Ouyang Shuo is strong against Zeng Tian, he is afraid that it will cause a mutiny among the sergeants and pawns of the army.

As for the deputy general Qin Rigang, he is Yang Xiuqing's confidant. It was precisely because of the existence of Qin Rigang that Zeng Tianyang did not dare to lead his troops to rebel, allowing Yang Xiuqing to take over the Tianjing garrison.

I have to say that it was indeed a clever move for the Military Intelligence Department to win over Yang Xiuqing at the beginning. There is only a person like Yang Xiuqing, who can not only examine the seizure, but also have influence in both the military and political circles of Tianjing City that cannot be underestimated.

If you change to someone else, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do this.

……

"Enlightened Monarch!" Seeing that Ouyang Shuo was about to control the situation, the old fox Zeng Tianyang finally couldn't help but stand up and asked gently, "Can you please tell the prince that after the reorganization, will there be any changes in our positions?" Will they still be able to take charge of their respective armies? ”

Zeng Tianyang's remarks directly pointed to the two key points of the army's reorganization, both of which are indispensable.

As a commander of the army, one should care about his position. After the reorganization, if you are promoted, it is fine, but once you are demoted, you will lose your heart and face.

In addition to his position, the commander of the army is also concerned about whether his original old department and subordinate relationship have changed. If you take office in a new army, you don't have a few henchmen around you, even if you are in a high position, I am afraid that you will not be able to live comfortably.

Of course, the above two points are only for those generals who like to drill camps and are enthusiastic about fame and fortune.

Generals like Han Xin and Di Qing, even if they are not reused for a while, it doesn't matter, and they won't think about cultivating any henchmen immediately. Because they are confident, capable, and ambitious.

Obviously, these two points are basically missing for the Taiping army.

Therefore, Zeng Tianyang's words aroused the approval of several other generals. Even Hu Yihuang and Qin Rigang, the two generals who showed their loyalty, looked at Ouyang Shuo with concern.

Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo vaguely exchanged colors with Yang Xiuqing under the hall.

Zeng Tianyang, sure enough, is an old fox.

It's a pity that no matter how cunning the fox is, it can't escape the hunt.

Previously, Ouyang Shuo had a secret conversation with Yang Xiuqing, and the two had repeatedly simulated how Zeng Tianyang and others would make trouble in this military discussion related to the reorganization of the army.

Therefore, Zeng Tianyang's question did not surprise Ouyang Shuo.

Although Ouyang Shuo is not a military genius, he has been mixed with Bai Qi, Han Xin and other gods and generals all the year round, how can he be mixed up in vain, and he is actually no stranger to things in the army.

Seeing that the generals were provoked by Zeng Tianyang, Ouyang Shuo pressed down with his hands and actually smiled at Zeng Tianyang, which made the old fox panic in his heart, and his face twitched vaguely.

"Ladies and gentlemen, even if General Zeng doesn't mention it, Ben Hou will give you an explanation. As you should already know, the army of Shanhai City has a three-level backbone structure of brigades, divisions, and regiments. a division with more than 13,000 troops; And one army is already 70,000 troops. ”

Ouyang Shuo paused for a moment, waited for them to finish digesting, and then said: "Ben Hou hereby promises that the six generals here can all be awarded the position of division commander. As for the Legion Commander, it depends on how much merit you can establish for Shanhai City in the future. In the military, if you want to serve the public, you must have great military achievements. ”

When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and their tense expressions were also slightly relieved.

You must know that even if the division commander is in the Shanhai City Army, he is a senior general, and he is really a high and powerful person. Among them, although the number of troops has decreased, it is definitely an improvement in quality.

Even if it was Zeng Tianyang, he couldn't refute it for a while. After all, although Zeng Tianyang is now in command of an army of 50,000, it is naturally impossible to grant him the position of army commander.

No matter how thick-skinned the old fox is, he doesn't have the confidence to be on a par with Bai Qi, Han Xin and Sun Bin.
