On June 20, Ouyang Shuo arrived in Leizhou. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In Leishan County, Ouyang Shuo convened a temporary military and political meeting to arrange post-war matters.

Secretary Lang Bai Nanpu stood behind Ouyang Shuo.

On the left side of the main hall, General Bai Qi sat in the first place, followed by the four division commanders. On the right side of the main hall are the four directors. Other than that, there is no one else.

At the beginning of the meeting, the secretary Lang Bai Nanpu read out a series of commendation orders in public.

"Edict: The Second Division of the Longxiang Regiment galloped vertically and horizontally, fought in the south and the north, strengthened the prestige of our army, and specially sealed the commander of the division Luo Shixin as the general of Yingyang, in order to show his merits and show his bravery. The rest of the officers and men of the Second Division were rewarded. ”

Luo Shixin came out of the ranks, knelt down on one knee, and said excitedly: "Thank you for the reward!" ”

The battle of Tanmu County, if it wasn't for the rapid march of the Second Division beyond the limit, I am afraid it would have been a different ending. Luo Shixin's contribution to the Battle of Leizhou is indispensable.

It is appropriate to be named General Yingyang.

"Edict: The Fourth Division of the Longxiang Regiment is brave and good at fighting, sweeping through the north, strengthening the prestige of our army, and Mu Guiying, the commander of the special Feng Division, is the general of Xuanwei to show his merits and show his bravery. The rest of the officers and men of the Fourth Division were rewarded. ”

Mu Guiying came out of the queue and followed Shane.

"Imperial Decree: The First Division of the Tiger Ben Regiment is unyielding in adversity, leveling the southern border, strengthening the prestige of our army, and Fan Lihua, the commander of the Special Imperial Seal Division, is General Zhaolie to show his merit and show his bravery. The rest of the soldiers were rewarded. ”

Fan Lihua followed out of Xie En, but her expression was a little unnatural.

The three-way army, only the South Route Army led by her was ambushed, how not to embarrass the strong Fan Lihua.

So far, the four division commanders who fought in Leizhou were all awarded the title of General of Zhengwupin.

After the reward was completed, the four directors reported on the post-war harvest in Leizhou.

The first to report was naturally Du Ruhui, director of military affairs.

"In the battle of Leizhou, the Four Masters lost a total of more than 6,400 people, more than 7,500 were lightly wounded, and more than 1,500 were seriously injured."

Hearing the report of army casualties, Ouyang Shuo frowned.

Unexpectedly, Leizhou is still a hard bone, and it actually hurts the expeditionary army. The post-war pension alone is estimated to cost more than 20,000 gold coins.

Du Ruhui continued: "According to the statistics of the Military Affairs Administration, more than 114,300 prisoners of war were captured in this battle, including more than 15,000 seriously wounded, and they have been arranged to retire. ”

The ten prisoners of war must be placed in time, otherwise the supply of grain and grass alone is an astronomical data.

"What is the quality of the prisoners of war?" Ouyang Shuo asked.

When Du Ruyan heard this, he said in a deep voice: "I'm not optimistic." Not to mention, the captured prisoners of war were basically born in the city defense force and lacked actual combat experience. To make matters worse, after this battle, some of the soldiers had already planted a war-weary mood, and it was probably inappropriate to forcibly keep them in the army. ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said: "Since this is the case, we must select the best of the best, those whose quality is not up to par and those who are war-weary, arrange for their retirement as soon as possible, and resume production in Leizhou." ”

"Understood!"

"I want to think about it." Ouyang Shuo pondered for a moment, raised his head and said, "The selected prisoners of war are divided into two categories. One is the city defense force, and the other is the field army. ”

Speaking of this, Ouyang Shuo turned his head, looked at Fan Zhongyan, and said: "Leizhou is established as Leizhou County, and five prefectures are set up with five third-level county towns as the center, namely Leishan Mansion, Hengshan Mansion, Hai'an Mansion, Qiantang Mansion and Yanluo Mansion. The remaining 22 county seats, according to the region, are divided into the nearest five prefectures. ”

Fan Zhongyan nodded solemnly, it's really fatal, this time, one county guard, five prefects and twenty-two county commanders will be appointed.

Ouyang Shuo looked at Du Ruhui again and said, "According to the unified establishment of Shanhai City, a county has a city defense battalion, a government has a city guard brigade, and a county has a garrison division. ”

"In the whole calculation, the city defense force alone will cost 37,000 people. As for the field army, two divisions were reorganized. A division, supplemented to the Tiger Legion, gave the number Tiger Legion Fourth Division. The other division was temporarily named the 1st Independent Division. ”

Du Ruhui nodded, according to the arrangement of the prince, more than 36,000 people need to be dismissed. These demobilized soldiers will be converted into real reserves.

Disarmament expenditures are another pen!

Ouyang Shuo looked at Bai Qi and Du Ruhui and said, "Three candidates for division commanders, can the two of you recommend anyone?" ”

In this battle, a total of three historical generals were captured, namely Cao Di, Wei Zhang and Bailishi, which was just right. The crux of the matter is, first, whether it is appropriate to appoint a demoted general to serve as the commander of the division; Second, which general is the division commander of which division? It's all well-thought-out.

Of the three divisions, the garrison division has the lowest status.

In addition, the newly formed Third Division of the Tiger Ben Army still lacks a division commander.

In this way, there are still not enough generals!

The main hall suddenly became quiet.

This was the first time that Ouyang Shuo had solicited opinions in public on the selection of division commanders, and there was no arbitrary decision on the cadres.

Du Ruhui glanced at Bai Qi and took the lead in saying: "Qiyu Junhou, regarding the selection of the division commander of the garrison division, Weichen thinks that it is more appropriate to promote one from among the brigade commanders. ”

"Keming has a point." Ouyang Shuo nodded.

Indeed, the Leizhou Garrison Division is responsible for sitting in Leizhou County, and in addition to being responsible for the defense of a county, it also has a hidden task, that is, it is responsible for suppressing unstable factors in the county.

In this case, it is indeed inappropriate to use a local general in Leizhou. The division commander of the Leizhou Garrison Division seems to be unimportant, but in fact it is very critical.

Ouyang Shuo looked at Bai Qi and said, "The candidate for the division commander of the garrison division regiment will be selected from among the brigade commanders who performed well in the Battle of Leizhou. Who does the general think is the most suitable? ”

As the commander-in-chief of the Battle of Leizhou, Bai Qi naturally has the most right to speak.

Hearing this, the other four division commanders also looked at Bai Qi nervously.

If the recommended brigade commander is from their division, it is naturally a great honor and affirmation.

When Bai Qi heard this, he groaned slightly, and said slowly: "The last general thinks that Zhao Yan, the brigade commander of the first brigade of the first division of the Tiger Ben Legion, is a suitable candidate. ”

"Okay, then Zhao Yan will be determined!"

This time, Ouyang Shuo fully believed in Bai Qi's judgment.

After setting the division commander of the Leizhou Garrison Division, Ouyang Shuo had a clear idea of the arrangement of the three Cao Di, and said: "Imperial Order: Cao Di, serve as the division commander of the third division of the Huben Legion; Bailishi, who served as the division commander of the Fourth Division of the Huben Regiment; Wei Zhang, who served as the division commander of the 1st Independent Division. ”

"No!"

Regarding the appointment of the prince, Du Ruhui was unimpressed.

The 3rd Division was a mountain division, and the deputy division commander Shan Zhu was more than brave, but he still lacked some strategy. It is undoubtedly a clever move for Cao Di, a military-type general, to serve as the division commander of the Third Division.

The two of them are a good match.

From this point of view, the prince has high hopes for Shanzhu, a young general, and specially arranged a good teacher for him.

"Junhou, when it comes to Cao Di, there will be something in the end that needs to be reported."

"Speak!"

After Cao Di was captured, he wanted to commit suicide several times to make his intentions clear. If you want to persuade Cao Di to surrender and let him go to the post willingly, I am afraid it is not a simple matter. Du Ruhui said.

"Oh? And such things. Ouyang Shuo raised his eyebrows, "In this way, the lord of Cao Di is still an amazing figure, he can get such support from his generals, and he will continue to die and be martyred." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, Cao Di is a military general in Yanluo County?"

"Exactly! The lord of Yanluo County is named Fireworks Demon, and there is also a Wenchen Bao Shuya under him. ”

It was Fan Zhongyan, the director of administration, who spoke.

"This is interesting, the land of Leizhou, it is really still a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger." Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly and said, "Among the civil officials captured this time, apart from Uncle Bao, are there other characters?" ”

"Yes." Fan Zhongyan nodded and said, "In addition to Uncle Bao, there are also Zang Wenzhong and He Shiwen. ”

"Huh?"

Ouyang Shuo had no impression of these two.

It's no wonder that only in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were hundreds of slightly famous figures.

"Wei Chen knows a little about these two people." Unlike Ouyang Shuo, Fan Zhongyan is well-read and knows a lot about history books.

"Oh? Howden may wish to tell us about it. ”

"Let's talk about Zang Wenzhong first. This person is the doctor of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he has been the four gentlemen of Lu Zhuanggong, Min Gong, Xuan Gong, and Wen Gong. Zang Wenzhong was ordered to be in danger and open-minded, and once abolished the checkpoint to facilitate business. He is erudite and knowledgeable and not formal, holds important positions and has clear rewards and punishments, is as good as a stream, and is not ashamed to ask. ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded, in this way, he is really a good civil official.

"Let's talk about Shiwen. This person was a musician, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, he could be regarded as a master. Fan Zhongyan only had a few words about Shiwen's introduction, and he also knew that the prince was not interested.

Sure enough, Ouyang Shuo just nodded.

A musician, for the territory, is estimated to be able to only be arranged to teach in the Southwest University Hall. For a hero like Ouyang Shuo, it is really not worth taking to heart.

Just when Fan Zhongyan introduced Zang Wenzhong and Shiwen, Bai Qi's expression was a little strange.

Hearing Fan Zhongyan mention Yanluo County, Bai Qi remembered the battle report that he threw into the corner. Bai Qi's memory is so amazing, at this time, he just glanced at the battle report, and he knew about it.

The brigade commander of the First Brigade of the Praetorian Guard Division, but he reported to him that there was an abnormality in Yanluo County. Among them, isn't the lord of Yanluo County, the Fireworks Demon?

Thinking of this, Bai Qi said out loud: "Qiyu Junhou, to convince Cao Di, the breakthrough is still on the lord of Yanluo County, the Fireworks Demon. ”

"How?"

Bai Qi selected the essence of the battle report and retold it.

"And such strange things?" Ouyang Shuo's interest was completely hooked, and he said with a smile: "In this way, I still have to go and meet this lord for a while." ”

Not to mention the fireworks and demons, Ouyang Shuo is greedy for Uncle Bao. (To be continued.) )
