Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 438

Wei Zheng couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.

The eunuchs, magistrates, captains, and generals from various counties who came here were also surprised by Luo Cheng's bold plan, but they did not seldom voice their opposition.

After all, he is popular now, has the privilege of entrusting the title, Xu cheaply acts, he said that if he wants to do this, then so be it.In fact, many people felt itchy when they saw that Luo Cheng promoted many old relatives and friends one after another as soon as he took office.

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling were only county magistrates two years ago. Even if they were promoted before, they were only county magistrates and county masters. Cheng now directly promotes the two of them as prefects, how enviable this is.

Besides, Qin Qiong and Zhai Rang, originally one was a county soldier and the other was a facao, but now one is promoted to a county captain and the other is promoted to a county magistrate. This speed of improvement is really soaring.

Not to mention Shan Xiongxin, Cheng Yaojin, Xu Shiji, etc., who were originally just local powerful landlords who practiced a team of village bravery, and now they are also grandiosely awarded the title of a county soldier.

Follow Luo Cheng to eat meat.

In the hall of Duke Qi's mansion, Luo Cheng reached a plan with a group of officials to establish a permanent armed force in Henan.

Twelve counties, each with a standing county barracks of 500 people, and a standing government barracks of 800 people.And Luo Cheng, as the coach, formed a standing direct army of 5000 people.Zhang Xutuo, as the deputy commander, formed a standing direct army of 3000 people.

A total of 600 people.

Luo Cheng directly selected and appointed the school lieutenants of the county battalions and prefecture barracks, basically his old subordinates of the Fifth Left Army as the school lieutenants, or old friends like Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji.

In this regard, Luo Cheng did not mean to shy away from it at all. Not only did his eldest brother-in-law Shan Xiongxin and second cousin Qin Qiong entrust him with important tasks, but even his eldest brother and second brother Chengzong, who succeeded his ancestor and second brother Chengzong, also assigned him the post of school lieutenant.

As for keeping filial piety and succession, let alone, everyone leads a battalion.

He even sent instructors, long history, Sima, etc. to the barracks of the county camps.

He also unabashedly revealed that after the formation of this army, he intends to firmly control it. Of course, no one raised the slightest objection.

For those prefects, anyway, it involves military soldiers and horses, and they, civil officials, can't intervene or do anything.And it turned out that the officials who were in charge of the county soldiers, such as the county captain and the county magistrate, were also happy that Luo Cheng was willing to take over the hand.

Anyway, as long as their official position remains the same, they are tossing around with Luo Cheng, and they don't want them to pay for food and money. If the practice really produces results and wipe out the bandits by then, they will also be meritorious.If something goes wrong, it will naturally be Luo Cheng's responsibility at that time.

Originally, the county soldiers and the government soldiers were two separate systems, and were commanded by the captain and the governor respectively, but now, with Luo Cheng, the ambassador of consolation and arrest, he easily broke through the obstacles in this system, Integrate the soldiers and horses of these two systems together.

Although only a part of it has been integrated, it is still quite astonishing.

Launch the plan and select generals.

Luo Cheng announced the implementation one after another, and all the civil and military officials silently looked at this Lei Lifeng's boss, and did not come out to object.

In half a day, Luo Chengcheng finished the work smoothly.

The next step is to implement, Donglai's weapons and equipment, the grain in the granaries of the counties, and then the local government selects the county soldiers and government soldiers as standing soldiers.

"I only give you one month. Although the Chinese New Year is coming, this year only gives you a few days. After the eighth day of the new year, you have to start to catch up. One month is not for you to choose slowly. People, but let you not only choose people well within a month, but also have a minimum of training and running-in, so that you can pull them out to fight."

After the discussion is over, it's the banquet.

The atmosphere at the banquet was much more relaxed.

Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji and others also introduced the friends they brought to Luo Cheng.

Among these people, Luo Cheng valued Niu Jinda, Su Dingfang, Bing Yuanzhen and Zu Junyan the most. Both Niu Jinda and Su Dingfang were from Hebei. Among them, Niu Jinda and Cheng Yaojin were about the same age, but Su Dingfang was still very young.The two families are both families of gentry and officials. They practiced martial arts at a young age, and they are very brave, especially now that they each lead a township regiment, and they have fought against bandits several times, but they have never been defeated. They are somewhat famous.

This time when they came to see Luo Cheng, they also wanted to defect to Luo Cheng. After all, Luo Cheng had a reputation in Liaodong, and his deeds made many young people excited.

"If the two of you are willing to come to my place, I welcome it very much. For the time being, you two will be wronged to take the position of team leader first. I wonder if you would like it?" Luo Cheng deliberately only gave a low position.

In the end, neither of them took it seriously. Niu Jinda was in his early thirties and his name was Niu Xiu. His father was a county magistrate in Hebei.

"Being able to follow Luo Shuai, even as a pawn." Lao Niu said very freely.

And Su Dingfang Minglie, who is only 21 years old this year, is actually one year older than Luo Cheng, but compared to other people, he is younger at 20 years old. He followed his father, Su Yong. very strong.

This time he left his father to vote for Luo Cheng, also hoping to make contributions.

"Thank you Luo Shuai for taking him in." Su Lie said happily.

Bing Yuanzhen and Zu Junyan are both local officials in Henan, one is a military officer and the other is a secretary in Dongping County. Zu Junyan is short, dark and ugly, but his writing talent is very famous. Back then Originally, a minister recommended him to the Ministry of Internal History to Yang Guang, but the emperor thought he was too ugly and refused to use him, which made Zu Junyan very angry.

"How about asking Grandfather Qu Cai to join the army under my account?"

"Thank you, Luo Shuai, for being willing to use someone." Zu Junyan had been observing Luo Cheng just now, seeing that Luo Cheng didn't feel disgusted or disliked after seeing his ugly face, he was already very grateful in his heart.

As for Bing Yuanzhen, Luo Cheng arranged for him to be a deputy lieutenant to help Zhai Rang.

When there was no one around, Wei Zheng smiled and asked Luo Cheng in a low voice, "It's a little too pretentious for you to solicit local tyrants in Henan, and use your relatives and friends in this way. I'm not afraid that someone will impeach you for forming a clique, saying that you want to rebellion?"

Wei Zheng took the word "rebellion" very seriously.

Luo Cheng was not frightened at all, just smiled flatly, "I, Luo Cheng, am only 20 years old, and I am only 21 after the Chinese New Year. Chong, the title of Duke of the State, the first rank, if you say that I want to rebel, I'm afraid no one will believe me, right?"

Wei Zheng stared at Luo Cheng, "The key is whether you want to rebel or not?"

"Hahaha, what do you think?"

Wei Zheng shook his head, he couldn't figure it out, he couldn't understand, although Luo Cheng's current behavior was a bit out of bounds, but it was just a bit out of bounds.

"Boy, take it easy, you're making such a big move, be careful not to scratch your head." Wei Zheng had no choice but to wake up and say something.

Luo Cheng laughed, "I am an old man, but I will beat you if you talk nonsense."

"Duke Qi, there is an imperial decree arriving in Luoyang, the eastern capital, please welcome the imperial decree." The servant came to report.

The emperor's imperial decree was issued from Luoyang, and Luo was appointed as the chief of Donglai's [-] navy, responsible for leading the [-] navy out of Donglai County, crossing the sea into the Yalu River, and arriving at the domestic city to join the army.

The emperor ordered Luo Cheng to lead his army to sea in March, arrive at the mouth of the Yalu River in April, and arrive at the domestic city before the first day of May.

Holding this imperial decree, Luo Cheng could only let out a long sigh.

　Ask for a monthly ticket for emergency, I can't keep the tenth.
