Suirong City, where the Suirong Army was originally stationed, is located more than 90 miles east of Qinghai Lake, while the Zhenwu Army, which was expanded based on the Suirong Army, needs to be stationed in Fuqi City, which is more than 20 miles west of Qinghai Lake. From Suirong City to Fuqi City, there is not only a vast and wide Qinghai Lake, but also a total land distance of more than a hundred miles. This road is not close at all. After the war, Guo Yingyi took over the magpie's nest with a thick face and unceremoniously, took the garrison originally belonging to the Suirong Army as his own, and set up the execution hall of the Shanzhou Governor's Palace in Suirong City. Such a small border town naturally cannot accommodate Governor Guo and General Zhou, so as a junior, Tuesday had no choice but to order the troops to move as soon as possible, and then he managed Suirong carefully for a year. Now Suirong has changed greatly. The city was given to Lao Guo. However, Guo Yingyi, who thought he had taken advantage, would never have thought that Zhou Chengye actually sent him a favor on purpose. General Zhou didn't care about the little possessions in Suirong City at all. General Zhou had a big, big goal in his heart. The blueprint had to be hundreds of miles west of Qinghai Lake to be enough for him to draw! When I left Chang'an on Tuesday at the beginning of the year, I promised my beloved wife Yang Yuyao and my maid Niannu that I would pick them up when summer and autumn meet, when the frontier fortress is cool and pleasant. I couldn't wait to set off from Chang'an with the traveling caravan. The young mistress was going to Longyou, so Qingshu, the boss of the Shunfeng Carriage Company, naturally did not dare to take it lightly. Not only did he send out the most comfortable carriage, but he also arranged for a group of Qingchi Gang brothers who were highly skilled in martial arts and honest and obedient to escort Yang Yuyao. . Yang Yuyan, who has already given birth to a son, and Guo Yuanjing, who has a calm temperament, have two daughters. I don¡¯t know whether it was because of being restless or because I missed my husband and relatives far away at the border, but they also got involved and insisted on accompanying Yang Yuyao. Young Madam Yang's original plan to travel westward in a low-key manner was ruined, so she simply made a big splash. Not only did she bring a large-scale opera troupe with her, but she also brought with her a group of boring officials and officials who stayed in the capital. , there were also some cultural figures who also traveled together. For a time, the team of laborers traveling westward became more and more powerful, attracting exclamations from everywhere they passed. The ranks of the westbound labor army went through several twists and turns. Arriving at Suirong City without any danger. But he didn't see the real owner Zhou Chengye. Because at that time, it was the time when the two armies of Tang and Tibet were confronting each other and negotiating. Naturally, the strongman of the "negotiation team" who could exert huge psychological pressure on the Tibetan people on Tuesday could not run back to Suirong City alone to hug his wife. Now, everything is settled. On Tuesday, when he was promoted to an official position, he returned to Suirong City in great glory. I am here to welcome the family condolences group. He also came to plan the future development of the Zhenwu Army with Governor Guo. By the way, he also urged Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan, who were left behind, to seize the time and move all the good things in the city that should not be seen to Fuqi City. Guo Yingyi comfortably moved into the courtyard where he originally lived on Tuesday, and then happily took a hot bath with the spray head designed by Tuesday. While taking a shower. He also did not forget to use the shampoo and soap sold exclusively by Suirong branch of Changxing Department Store. The fragrant and slippery feeling made the governor who had been in the army for many years deeply sigh with emotion. Tuesday's residence in Fuqi City does not occupy a huge area, but after his personal renovation, all functions are very complete, and various living facilities are simple and practical. This kind of residence is less luxurious and more luxurious. Very clean and fresh, it is Guo Yingyi's happy residence. Lao Guo, who had just finished taking a bath, heard his nephew report outside the door: "Report to the Governor, the Zhenwu Army Commander Zhou Chengye is asking for an audience outside the house!" Governor Guo, who had taken advantage of others' soft words and short hands, did not do it this time. To put on a show, Guo Yuanzhong immediately invited Zhou Chengye into the central hall where the guests were received. When Guo Yingyi saw him, Tuesday adjusted his facial expression when he entered the door. When Guo Yingyi saw him, Tuesday's face showed a realistic expression of pain and reluctance. Guo Yingyi felt a little guilty, so he seemed particularly enthusiastic. "Well, um Erlang, have you had lunch?" "No appetite!" "Ahem Erlang, have you seen your wife?" "Not in the mood!" "Erlang, um um ¡¡± After being choked out by Tuesday, Lao Guo didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment. "Damn it! Don't pretend to be such a virtuous person! Isn't it the governor who changed Suirong City into a military camp? You should feel glorious and proud. Don't cry like you've lost the battle!" Lao Guo was finally forced to panic, and he scolded Tuesday in a somewhat unruly manner. Zhou Chengye extended two words to Guo YingyiHe shook his head, and then shouted with great pain: "You said it easily, do you know how much money I have invested in Suirong City this year? It is a full two million yuan! Now you, the old man, can put it all in one sentence." How can you bear to take Suirong City, which I worked so hard for, as your own?" Guo Yuanzhong, who had been secretly wearing a pair of pants with Zhou Chengye for a long time, came out to help Tuesday and said: "Uncle , this time you were promoted to an official position, but it all depends on Erlang. As a human being, we can't burn bridges" "Shut up, I'm not a good person. You two want to collude to confuse me, right?" Lao Guo finally said! He stormed off and took all his depression out on Guo Yuanzhong. "Okay, don't make such a bitter face with me. Just tell me what you want. I am in a hurry to go to Chengen Tower for the banquet!" On Tuesday, I felt speechless. The banquet tables in Chengen Tower were originally He spent his own money to treat the officials' children and family members of the labor army condolences group. He, the official host of the treat, was not in a hurry. It seemed that Governor Guo was in a hurry. "At the end of the day, I have a few unkind requests, please ask the governor to fulfill them!" Without waiting for Guo Yingyi to speak, Zhou Chengye quickly stated the conditions and policies he wanted in the future. After hearing Tuesday's request, Guo Yingyi's face turned green. He pinched his teeth and said: "I'll go with you. Do you want to establish autonomy under me? Military and political affairs can be ignored, and subordinate civil and military officials can be appointed. That¡¯s all up to you. You still want five years of food and tax exemptions, you want to make salt and iron on your own, you want to open copper and silver mines, and you want to open a separate border market. You really think I will respond to your requests. Guanshiyin Bodhisattva!" Seeing that Lao Guo was about to spit on his face, he stood up quickly on Tuesday and said: "When the salt is made, I will supply it to all the armies in Shanzhou for free; after the iron is made, I will give it at a 50% discount. Provide sophisticated armor and weapons to the armies in Shanzhou; after the copper and silver mines are opened, I will provide 10% of the income to Shanzhou every year!" After hearing the huge benefits offered on Tuesday, Guo Yingyi immediately shut up, Then he frowned and walked in circles in the hall. "Boy, it's not that I won't help you, it's just that these things are too sensitive. If someone in the court attacks you with this, not only will you go to jail, but I will also be thrown out of office because of your implication! " "Don't worry, Governor, I will personally explain this matter to the Minister of Household Affairs, and I will also ask Gao Lishi to report it to the Holy One. At that time, 30% of the income from various industries will be sent to the inner treasury!" "You mean, Will the royal family be involved in all these businesses? " "Hehe, it's true. Please don't spread the word when the governor is out. After all, the royal family's face is very important." "Well, since you are sure that you won't capsize in the gutter, I will do it this time. I'll let you do whatever you want west of Qinghai Lake!" After agreeing on these unspeakable things in the future, Guo Yingyi asked seemingly unintentionally: "The Suirong Army has suddenly expanded from 3,000 to 3,000 men! Have you ever thought about how to fill the gap of 20,000 soldiers and 17,000 soldiers?" Zhou Chengye, who had already thought about this, replied calmly: "In the past, all the governors and military governors were responsible for it. The troops and town troops they lead are already insufficient, and once they lead the troops to guard the border, the garrison will be empty. In this way, the original intention of building an army and towns is lost. Therefore, I think the court should change the existing recruitment system. In the future, a large number of soldiers who are willing to serve in the army for a long time will be recruited in large numbers, gradually replacing the previous system of government soldiers taking turns to guard the border. "The meaning of Tuesday's words is that the Tang Dynasty should recruit a large number of professional soldiers to replace the previous system of young men from all over the country taking turns to serve in the army. system. In fact, not only did this idea come up on Tuesday, but the military governors from various places also discovered this problem at that time, and some people even reported and made suggestions to the Ministry of War. So when Guo Yingyi heard Tuesday's opinion, he was not surprised, but nodded and thought for a moment. "Erlang's idea is indeed a good one. I also think it's time for the imperial court to change the old recruitment system. Since the voice of the various armies to recruit long-term conscripts is so high, we generals from all armies in Shanzhou collectively submitted a letter to the Ministry of War, putting forward our suggestions and Reason, I believe the court will pay attention to it.¡± Next, Guo Yingyi and Zhou Chengye discussed in detail the details of how to recruit Long March soldiers. With the experience and knowledge of serving in the army for two generations on Tuesday, he naturally would not be stumped by the various styles proposed by Guo Yingyi. , he told Guo Yingyi a plan on how to recruit long-term soldiers that he had thought about for many days. The result naturally attracted great appreciation from Lao Guo. Experience from later generations tells Tuesday that if an army wants to maintain and improve its combat effectiveness, then the selection process must be tight from the beginning. It must be carefully selected from the widest source of soldiers, and really select those with good physical fitness. , young men with a clean family background and who obey orders and management are recruited into the army. As for those thievesThe slippery veterans and the domineering soldiers are the black sheep and must be culled and eliminated without mercy! Zhou Chengye has already thought about it. As long as the imperial court agrees to Shanzhou's plan to recruit long-term soldiers, he will recruit new soldiers from all over the Tang Dynasty this time. He will definitely build the Zhenwu Army into the strongest army in the world! ps: Qingyang would like to thank two book friends, 36999 and I Am the Chinese Dragon, for their monthly support, and many book friends such as Murong Chuan, The World Is You, Scarecrow, Feng Xiaodao, etc. for their unwavering long-term support!
