Chapter 665 Restructuring the Fourth Division
The fourth division suffered serious staff reductions, and the loss of weapons and equipment was also serious.Originally, the Fourth Division was built into the Steel Division by Zhao Ting, the grain officer of Xuanjia Governor, but after this battle, many weapons and equipment were snatched away by other divisions.Wanting to get it back now is simply more difficult than snatching meat buns from a mad dog's mouth.

Through various relationships, it took a lot of effort, but they just wanted to return some tattered gadgets. Later, Su Yu simply didn't want them anymore, and decided to build them himself.

The Xuanjia Army's military expenses have to come from the Ministry of War, but of course Cao Yuzan will not take care of the troops of Prince Rui's faction specially, and it is already very face-saving to ensure the basic operation.Expect her to pay more, but there is no door.As for Prince Rui, he didn't have much money, and all the divisions were left to figure out their own solutions.

Those troops stationed in other places can search for money in the local area, but they can make up for it, but where can the fourth division go to search for it?
Su Yu would never use his own money, or the Tang family's money to arm the Xuanjia Army.But Su Yu is not in a hurry. As the regent who is in charge of the economy, Su Yu is planning to carry out a national commercial tax reform.

Su Yu's main problem now is to expand his troops and stabilize the old units of the [-]th Division, deploy his own people everywhere, control them in a short period of time, and improve morale.

Relying on Su Yu's extraordinary inclusiveness and overwhelming advertisements, some deserters also ran to the Fourth Division.Originally deserters were to be held accountable, but after being washed by the Fourth Division, everyone was fine.

Obviously, Su Yu's behavior was criticized by everyone, but Su Yu didn't take it seriously.Su Yu called those deserters together and gave them ideological education.At this time, the general of the Soviet Union became the political commissar of the Soviet Union.It is said that his impassioned speech made those soldiers cry bitterly.

But now there is a thorny problem, these spies under Su Yu are all new recruits and lack experience.It is obviously unreliable to let a group of recruits lead a division.And Su Yu himself was not an officer, so Su Yu planned to find some capable people from the old department of the Fourth Division.

There is a saying in the army, "If you can be a captain, you can be a general." This sentence has some truth, especially those who have struggled from the bottom, their ability is beyond doubt.It's just that there is a lack of upper-level connections, so promotion in the military ranks is slow or even stagnant.

Su Yu summoned the officers above the captain of the former fourth division, but only seven people were found.

In addition to the leaders of various titles, there were a total of 170 officers above the captaincy and above. Except for those who died in battle, most of them were arrested and executed by Cao Yuzan.After all, the Fourth Division is the main force of the rebellion, so it is impossible not to make some punishments.And the remaining seven captains are really old, weak, sick and disabled.Cao Yuhan didn't even bother to catch them.

His Highness the Prince was sitting in the military tent, and the seven dismissed old soldiers knelt down to see His Highness, Su Yu waved his hand, gesturing them to get up.

When the seven old soldiers saw His Highness clearly, their faces showed surprise.

Su Yu asked them: Why are you looking at me with this look?
An old soldier mustered up his courage and said: "Your Highness is so similar to King Mu Qiantui. When I was an old soldier who followed King Mu in the early years, seeing His Highness was like meeting an old friend. That's why I was amazed."

Su Yu knew that the fourth division came from Anxi Dufu Mansion, so it was not surprising that they knew King Mu.Then Su Yu "chat" with them to learn about the history of the Fourth Division.

In the early years, Zhao Ting was sent by the Queen Mother Chen to the Anxi Protectorate to monitor the King Mu, but at that time Zhao Ting was still very young and had no military experience, so it was useless to go in front of the King Mu.The soldiers under him are also the soldiers of King Mu.And he, the Zhonglang general, is basically in a state of being held aside.

After King Mu retired, the division really fell into his hands.

The composition of the Fourth Division is very complicated. During the ten-year anti-Hu war, several generations have been changed.After this fierce battle, the remaining Anxi Army has less than 300 veterans.And this group of people was not in the same team, some were from Zhang Laizi's army, and some were from Zhang Han's army.

Zhang Laizi is Zhang Youtian, the former military advisor of King Mu, whose real name is Huo Hongxun, and formerly a Zhonglang general of the No. 15 division of the Tang clan's powerful strategy.After King Mu retired, Zhang Youtian changed his name to "Wen Tianying", established the Sacred Fire Sect, trained Zhang Mi, Wen Yidao, Wen Wan and others, and caused trouble in Luoyang twice.

The first time he was detected and suppressed by the Meng family, he failed, but the misunderstanding was cleared up. The second time he made trouble, although he died because of this, and died in the arms of his old friend Zhang Han, but his revenge was avenged by burning Ximen Xiongfeng and his friends to death. Several family members.

"Zhang Han?" Su Yu smiled wryly: "This General Zhang is still in Chengfufang, but he just heard that he suffers from diabetes. I'm afraid he won't last long. Do you want to meet him?"

……

Of course, Su Yu didn't mean to take them to meet their old friends, but wanted to get to know this group of people through Zhang Han's mouth.

When Su Yu went to Chengfufang, he didn't show the prince's genealogy, but went to Ma Tiangan of Nanyang County to introduce him from it.When Brother Tian Gan saw Su Yu again, he seemed much more reserved than before, and he had to pay respects to the emperor and ministers. Su Yu was always easy-going, and went directly to see Zhang Han without red tape.

It is said that a man's words are good when he is about to die. Zhang Han was very ill and his feet were almost rotten. In fact, he lived a very painful life, but under the care of his son Zhang Zhikui, he was still alive tenaciously.

But it is regrettable that after more than ten years, these people still know General Zhang, but General Zhang no longer knows them.But listening to the familiar accent, General Zhang was still very happy.While chatting, Zhang Han introduced his son Zhang Zhikui and adopted son Huo Zizhen to Su Yu.

Su Yu knew these two people, and had heard Cao Yuhan mention them earlier.Cao Yuzan relied on these two people to steal questions from Meng's house for the exam.Sure enough, they were two shrewd young men who had a good eye for each other.

He didn't say anything important in person, and when he was about to leave, Zhang Han comforted the seven veterans for a while, saying something like "I'm dying, I can't take care of you anymore, you should work hard for Your Highness".

What is the point of these words?
From a pragmatic point of view, it doesn't make much sense, but retreat is very meaningful.Invisibly narrowing the relationship between these seven veterans and Su Yu, and restoring their status as "Zhao Ting's old department" to "Anxi Deputy General Zhang Han's old department".And let them see that the commander-in-chief has a good relationship with General Zhang.In this way, it makes sense to look back at Zhang Han's few words.

Back in the fourth division, Su Yu began to make appointments.

Su Yu concurrently served as the general of the fourth division Zhonglang, and the food supervisor was Qiu Yao, who was a eunuch. At this time, Qiu Yao was still concurrently serving as the director of the Jingtong Intelligence Department.Su Yu will not give up on the Jingtong system, and he still has the idea of ​​strengthening it. The secret service system that he has worked so hard cannot be discarded.

The position of supervising the army was prepared for King Xian. Since Wang Xian's family had no sons to use, he arranged for his grandson Zhao Feng to come over.

Zhao Feng's father is Zhao Ding, the second son of King Xian.Su Yu has never met Zhao Ding, and it is said that he is disabled.A few days ago, he was arrested by Kang Wang's men and came to Luoyang, and later arranged in Chengde Fang.Later, he returned to the Prince Xian's Mansion, but he did not go to the other courtyard before.

When Zhao Feng saw Su Yu, he wanted to call him uncle. After talking with him, he learned that Zhao Feng hated King Kang Zhao Di so much that he gritted his teeth.

Shi Gandang is one of the seven veteran generals selected from the division's general, and the other six also stay in the general's department.When fighting a war, the general department is responsible for formulating specific combat plans, so this department must be a group of people with rich combat experience.

Hearing the name "Shi Gandang", Su Yu almost laughed out loud.Shi Gandang was originally a member of the Shatuo tribe, and his original name was Ashina Delan.Su Yu asked him why he changed his name, and he said it was given by King Mu.Su Yu felt that King Mu was also quite humorous.

The deputy general of the division is the warrior-type talent that Su Yu focused on training, Han Jian.

Han Jian did not participate in this battle of the Nine Divisions because he was assigned to Prince Rui's Tenth Division.Of course, Prince Rui's troops could not bring this faceless spy of Cao Yuzan to fight against Emperor Daxing.It is estimated that the Tenth Division was in a hurry to move out and had no time to talk to him, otherwise he should be executed first.

When the identity of Prince Su Yu was revealed, the power of the two kings was clear. Of course, Cao Yuzan was the power of King Kang, while Su Yu was the power of King Xian. Han Jian immediately chose to join Su Yu instead of Cao Yuzan.He also came with hundreds of recruits.

After arranging the division headquarters, three brigade headquarters will be arranged, with Qiu Yao, Zhao Feng, and Han Jian serving as brigade schools respectively.Let them go down and arrange the other five officials of the brigade, as well as the five officials of each regiment.

Qin Bairen, Wu Zajin, and Du Yu served as the captain of the Zhonglang General Guard, the Prince's Guard, and the Jingtong Commander's Guard respectively.

There is also an important person named Li Fu. Su Yu arranged many titles for Li Fu, such as the deputy commander of the Beijing Command, the deputy supervisor of the Fourth Division, and the deputy commander of the Juncang, so that he can be active everywhere, but his The main task is still underground.

It's been a few days since these things have been done.

I haven't been home for many days, and I miss the leisurely life before.Being a regent is never quite as easy as it used to be.

There is endless work waiting for me, and just after the military service is over, I have to plan tax reform and go to court.

Su Yu's head twitches when he thinks of the word "Shangchao".From Su Yu's point of view, going to court is not only about brains, but also physical work.

The morning morning is very early, and you have to set off before dawn. You have to pay attention to diet the night before, because you don’t know when the morning morning will start the next day.The most inhumane thing about Dachao is that there is no time to go to the toilet.Perhaps this is also one of the reasons why no one criticizes Cao Yuzan's lazy administration.

In addition to military affairs, there are a lot of things within the royal family, such as ancestral temples, name changes, prince titles, regent canonization ceremonies, and so on.

Today Su Yu plans to put those things aside and go home.But as soon as she got home, Princess Taichang came. She used to be called aunt with Tang Linger, but now she has become an aunt.Her Royal Highness the Princess is very pompous, she scolded Su Yu as soon as they met, and asked: "It's been so long, and you don't go to the Princess Mansion to discuss important matters, so you insist on asking your aunt to come to you?"

And the big thing she said was to change Su Yu's name and build a mansion.

"Have you thought about it yourself?" Her Royal Highness was sitting in the front hall of Xiaofeng Pavilion with a serious face.

Su Yu said: "You don't need to change your name, just restore your original surname and call it Zhao Yu."

Zhao Yan nodded: "What about the prince title?"

"I don't know what the two elders said?"

"What are the elders? The virtuous king Kang Wang doesn't see each other now. He looks like he has never seen each other. How can he still count on them? Now I am the only one who worries about this matter."

"Then take the imperial character."

"Prince Yu?" Zhao Yu shook her head: "I don't think so. Zhao Yulong was once called Yu Wang, which has the same pronunciation, and he was removed from the family tree as a traitor. It's too unlucky. You should change it."
