February 18, Luoyang.
Zhao Ziliang convened a military meeting to prepare on the one hand to intensify the pursuit of Li Huaixian and Xie Yuan, and on the other hand to speed up the reorganization and training of the surrendered troops.
Generals such as Gao Miao and Li Qincuo who had surrendered in Luoyang were also ordered to participate.
Zhao Ziliang said to the generals: "We need to speed up the recruitment and training of the surrendered troops.
The court has already made arrangements for some of the major generals who surrendered, and new appointments are about to arrive.
In addition to high-level generals, lower-level officers and commanders Can stay temporarily , give them an inspection period.
Those who pass will continue to stay, and those who fail will be transferred elsewhere.
Chen Qing will be fully responsible for the training and recruitment.
The other generals and commanders will be fully responsible.
Chen Qing, I will give you two months.
It is necessary to complete the reorganization and training of the surrendered troops."
Chen Qing stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Commander, regarding the reorganization and training, our Soldier Training Department has come up with a complete plan, but the number of generals and officers required to reorganize and train these 200,000 people is not a small number.
If they are transferred from our Beiting Army, the combat effectiveness of the Beiting Army will inevitably be reduced."
This is a big problem.
If general officers are transferred from the Beiting Army to serve as general officers of the newly reorganized army, the combat effectiveness of the Beiting Army will be reduced, at least in a short period of time.
Influence.
At this time, Gao Shang stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Commander, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Sir, you are not an outsider.
If you have anything you can't say, please feel free to say it."
Gao Shang said: "Now the general is in charge of the world's troops and has full authority to preside over counter-insurgency matters.
All soldiers and horses are actually under the control of the general.
This military power has reached the extreme.
The court and the emperor have no other way, but the general cannot It is not taboo for His Holiness, in this reorganization and training Regarding matters, especially the issue of the 200,000-strong army of leading generals and generals at all levels, the lower official believes that the commander-in-chief should take the initiative to seek the opinions of the emperor and the court.
No matter what others say, if the commander-in-chief takes the initiative in this matter, At least the emperor can rest assured that if the commander-in-chief If you then appoint these 200,000 generals and officers at all levels by yourself, it is actually equivalent to integrating these 200,000 people into the Beiting Army.
In this way, the establishment of the Beiting Army will be too large, with more than 30 kings.
People and horses are enough to dominate the world.
Anyone who becomes an emperor will feel uneasy.
The commander-in-chief should look at this issue from another angle.
Even if the issue of appointing generals and generals at all levels for these 200,000 men is left to the court and the emperor, no matter who is to lead these 200,000 people, the commander-in-chief’s talent and authority will be enough.
Asking them to bow their heads and obey orders will not affect the great cause of counterinsurgency."
When Gao Shang said these words, there was an instant silence in the lobby.
This issue was too sensitive.
The issue of military power was always the most sensitive.
The generals and officials held their breaths and did not dare to speak out.
Zhao Ziliang stood up involuntarily, looked at Gao Shang, and then clasped his fists and bowed deeply: "Sir, you are a great talent.
If you hadn't reminded me, Ziliang almost made a big mistake again.
Please accept Ziliang's respect."
Gao Shang quickly stepped aside and said: "The commander is trying to offend me.
Gao just did what he should do.
If Gao can't even remind the commander of such things, how can he be considered as fulfilling his duty?"
Zhao Ziliang thought for a long time, returned to his seat, sat down, and asked Chen Qing: "How did your Soldier Training Department decide on the establishment of 200,000 troops?"
Chen Qingdao: "Based on the establishment of each army in our Beiting Army, each army has roughly 12,800 people.
These 200,000 people can be organized into twelve armies, leaving 46,000 people.
As reserve soldiers, they are training and on standby.
If each army suffers losses in battle, men and horses can be drawn from these reserve soldiers to supplement them."

Zhao Ziliang said: "Okay, I agree with this reorganization plan.
You must first transfer deputies of generals at all levels from the Beiting Army to temporarily take over these troops and let them reorganize and train these troops.
I will immediately write a letter to the imperial court, asking the emperor to The imperial court will decide on the appointment of these 200,000 troops and generals at all levels.
After the people sent by the imperial court and the emperor arrive, they will be responsible for it."
Chen Qing clasped his fists and agreed: "I will obey my orders."
Zhao Ziliang added: "This is the first thing.
Let's talk about the first thing next.
We have just collected Yin Ziqi's 300,000 troops and driven away Li Huaixian and Xie Yuantong, but the cities around Luoyang are basically still occupied by the rebels. control, although there are not many rebels entrenched in each city , as many as three thousand, as few as three to five hundred, but these cities are still in the hands of the rebels after all.
We will recover these cities next.
Mr.
Gao, I want you to take full charge of this matter and let Li Sheng command the left army. , let Zhao Ting lead the rear army, they will cooperate with you, what do you think?"
Gao Shang said quickly: "Commander, my subordinate is a civil servant and doesn't understand military affairs.
How can I command a large army to fight?
It's not possible.
If my subordinates can't do it, the commander-in-chief should choose another capable person."
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mr.
Gao has also consulted with me on military affairs.
There is no need to be humble.
You don't have to lead the troops to fight in person.
You only need to formulate a combat strategy and the two of them will execute it.
You are directly responsible for this matter to me.
There is no need to report to others, if there is anything difficult to handle, you come to me and I will solve it for you."
Gao Shang hesitated for a moment, then raised his hands and said: "Okay, since the commander-in-chief trusts me, the subordinate is afraid to accept this military order."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and told Li Sheng and Zhao Ting: "You both heard what Mr.
Gao and I said.
From now on, you will follow Mr.
Gao's instructions and recover and clear out all the surrounding cities as quickly as possible.
Get rid of the rebel forces" The two people stood up and clasped their fists and said: "The last general takes orders."
Zhao Ziliang raised three fingers again and said: "Now let's talk about the third thing.
The pursuit of Li Huaixian and Xie Yuantong cannot be stopped.
Now Li Huaixian has withdrawn to Xingyang, Xie Yuantong has withdrawn to Yingchang, and Li Si Ye led the Chinese army and 50,000 men to pursue Xie Yuantong.
Chu Ge also led the front army and 50,000 men to approach Xingyang.
Wang Can, you are the head of the Military Intelligence Department.
Please tell me about the situation of Li Huaixian and Xie Yuantong."
Wang Can stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Commander Qi, Li Huaixian and Xie Yuan's troops looted the towns and villages along the way.
They left no chickens, dogs or even a blade of grass in their path.
These two men also ordered to recruit strong men to join the group.
Now, Li Huaixian's troops numbered 40,000 troops, and Xie Yuan's troops also numbered 30,000."
"Peng" Zhao Ziliang slapped the table and said angrily: "These two bastards should be cut into pieces with a thousand cuts.
My orders are: first, put a reward on the heads of Li Huaixian and Xie Yuantong, with a reward of one thousand gold each, no matter who kills one of them Anyone can get a thousand pieces of gold and be promoted to the second rank of the third rank.
Order Li Siye and Chu Ge to speed up the pursuit, and not give Li Huaixian and Xie Yuantong a chance to breathe.
As soon as they catch up with them, they will lead their troops to attack immediately."
"promise"
Zhao Ziliang then said to Gao Miao, Li Qincuo and other generals who surrendered with Gao Shang in Luoyang: "General Gao, General Li and all the generals who surrendered with Mr.
Gao in Luoyang, your new appointments are coming soon.

Your original troops and horses also need to be reorganized and retrained.
Do you have any objections to this?
If you have any requests, you can make them."
Gao Miao, Li Qinmin and others stood up and clasped their fists and said: "We have no demands and we will obey the orders of the commander and the court."
Zhao Ziliang nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, that's it.
This is the end of today's meeting.
Everyone should go back and take your own responsibilities."
"I will be the last officer to leave."
All the generals and school officials stood up, clasped their fists, saluted and left.
Not long after the generals left, Wang Wei walked in from the outside and saluted Zhao Ziliang: "Commander, the emperor sent Gao Lishi to announce the decree."
"Oh" Zhao Ziliang put down the official document and asked, "Do you know what it is?"
Wang Weidao: "The commander-in-chief has just led the troops to restore Tokyo and surrendered 300,000 rebel troops.
This is an unprecedented victory.
The imperial decree should be a reward from the emperor."
Zhao Ziliang stood up and said: "Come, open the middle door to welcome the envoy."
After Gao Lishi was welcomed in, he read out the emperor's awards in front of all the officials of the Marshal's Mansion in the lobby.
Because Zhao Ziliang was already a Taiwei and had the title of Jiangling County Prince, he had almost no title in terms of official positions, military titles, and positions. , so it was his family members who were rewarded this time, and Chen Qingying, the great lady, was canonized as the First Grade Imperial Lady.
It is the most honorable thing for a minister's principal wife to be canonized as a first-grade imperial concubine.
After Gao Lishi finished reading the imperial edict, Zhao Ziliang led the generals and officials to bow down and said: "I thank you for your kindness.
Long live my emperor."
After receiving the imperial edict, Zhao Ziliang said to Gao Lishi: "Eunuch Gao, please sit down.
Zhao also wants to ask Eunuch Gao about the current situation of Your Majesty, the Concubine and the affairs of the DPRK."
Gao Lishi smiled and said: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful."
The officials and generals present also found their own seats to sit down, and the servants quickly brought tea to entertain them.
Zhao Ziliang knew that Gao Lishi came to deliver the edict in person, and there must be something else.
Otherwise, there was no need for Gao Lishi to come to deliver an imperial edict.
Maybe the emperor wanted Gao Lishi to tell him something else, so he took the initiative to keep Gao Lishi.
"Eunuch Gao, please drink tea."
Zhao Ziliang picked up the tea cup and said to Gao Lishi, and then asked: "Eunuch Gao, your Majesty's dragon body is still strong, right?"
Gao Lishi smiled and said: "Your Majesty is getting older after all, and his energy is not as good as before, but his body is still healthy.
I have Marshal Zhao to worry about."
"As a minister, you should worry about your majesty's dragon body.
The court should be stable.
Zhao has not been in the court for a long time.
I don't know what the current situation is in the court and whether there are any major changes in personnel."
Gao Lishi said: "Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, the ministers in the DPRK and China are all wise men.
They are united and harmonious as never before.
The commander-in-chief does not have to worry.
The money and food needed by the army will be delivered on time, and the soldiers will not go hungry."
Zhao Ziliang nodded: "It's good that Eunuch Gao came to announce the decree in person this time.
I don't know why general announcements don't require Eunuch Gao to do it in person."
Gao Lishi smiled and said: "Yes, the old slave is sent by your majesty.
On the one hand, he is to deliver the decree, and on the other hand, he is discussing two things with Marshal Zhao."
Zhao Ziliang clasped his fists and said, "I am all ears."
