Shangguan Xiu did not exaggerate.
The future development direction of Feng State is mainly concentrated in Ningnan.
The military power of Feng State must also be focused on the Ningnan area.
First, it is to maintain stability and pacify possible resistance armies in various places.
Second, in order to continue to expand outward, And the Minister of Military Affairs in the Governor's Office is the Presidential Commander who directly commands these thousands of troops.
How can it not be important?
Shangguan Xiu wouldn't feel at ease if someone else took the role.
The one who could reassure him the most was Luo Ren.
Luo Ren's talents are relatively comprehensive.
When he is required to be tough, he will be tougher than steel.
He would rather bend than bend.
When he is required to be cunning, his level of cunning is no less than that of Hu Chong and others.
In addition, he acted fairly, never formed gangs, and treated all the soldiers under his command equally.
He had a high prestige in the army, and the commanders of each legion were willing to obey his command and dispatch.
Regardless of his birth status, ability, prestige, loyalty, etc., in Shangguan Xiu's mind, Luo Ren is the best candidate for military minister.
Luo Ren did not expect that Shangguan Xiu would give him such great power.
He frowned, grinned widely, and said hesitantly: "The Minister of Military Affairs is so important, so I am even more worried that I am not qualified."
Shangguan Xiu smiled, patted his arm hard, and said: "You are not the only one in the military department of the Governor's Mansion.
There will be many people under you to assist you in handling some ordinary military affairs.
Even if you It’s not easy to make mistakes,” Luo Ren scratched his hair and said with a wry smile: "It sounds like Brother Xiu has already made a decision in his heart."
So what should I choose?
Just tell myself that I can be the Minister of Military Affairs.
Shangguan Xiu smiled lightly and said nothing.
Letting Luo Ren choose was a test to see how ambitious Luo Ren was.
The result satisfied Shangguan Xiu.
Luo Ren changed the subject and asked seriously: "Brother Xiu, after I leave the First Army Corps, who will be the commander of the First Army Corps, and who will take over the Zhenjun Army," Shangguan Xiuxiao asked: "Aren, do you have any good suggestions?"
Luo Ren pondered for a moment and said, "I hope Brother Xiu can remove Old Ding from the Fourth Army and let him take over the First Army."
"Actually, I have considered Lao Ding, but" Shangguan Xiu looked embarrassed, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "I'm afraid Lao Ding may not accept it."
Leng Ding was obsessed with Lingwu and was not willing to take care of the actual affairs at all.
He was asked to handle military affairs.
He ran faster than anyone else.
In Leng Ding's own words, if he had any spare time, he might as well meditate and practice.
Luo Ren laughed out loud and said disapprovingly: "We brothers, one by one, no one is as casual as Lao Ding.
It's not that easy for him to hide and relax.
Brother Xiu only needs to inform Lao Ding.
If He refused to take over the first legion, so he asked Jia Banxian to take over.
By then, Lao Ding couldn’t postpone it even if he wanted to.”
Shangguanxiu blinked his eyes, raised his head and laughed, clapped his hands and praised: "This is a very good idea, why didn't I think of it?
Okay, let's do it according to A Ren's wishes, and leave this matter to you, the new leader.
Minister of War, go and do it," No, this evil man asked him to do it.
Luo Ren suddenly felt as if he had fallen into a trap designed by Brother Xiu.
He sighed.
If he had known this, he might as well not mention Ding Leng.
He asked again: "Na Zhenjunjun," Shangguan Xiu looked like he was asking for advice humbly, and asked with a smile: "A Ren, what do you mean?"
This time Luo Renke learned his lesson and no longer dared to recommend candidates easily.

He waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Brother Xiu, I don't dare to make the decision on such a big matter as the group army coach.
This idea must be taken by yourself, Brother Xiu," "Cunning," Shangguan Xiu nodded happily to Luo Ren, then suppressed his smile and said quietly: "Actually, I had the intention of promoting the military advisor to the top."
Luo Ren was surprised and said: "Brother Xiu plans to ask the military advisor to take over the Zhenjun Army."
After a moment's pause, he nodded with understanding and said, "With the talent of the military advisor, it is more than enough to take over the Zhenjun Army.
With the merits of the military advisor, it is more than enough to take over the Zhenjun Army."
The county army can also serve the masses," "Can you really convince the public?"
Shangguan Xiu said thoughtfully: "But don't forget, Ah Ren, the military advisor is from Ningnan." "" Luo Ren didn't answer for a long time.
After holding it for a long time, he said: "The military advisor has been fighting with Brother Xiu for many years.
He has been through life and death and made many military exploits.
I thought that Brother Xiu has long forgotten his origin." regarded as brothers, But in the end, there was an inexplicable estrangement towards Meng Qiuchen because of his background.
Shangguanxiu didn't say whether he had any estrangement from Meng Qiuchen.
He said meaningfully: "What is the most important thing for the commander of a group army?
Ability comes second.
The most important thing is prestige and convincing the crowd."
Shangguanxiu himself is a living person. example, Is his military ability unparalleled in the world?
Is he more powerful than the commanders of the Zhenjun Army?
I don’t think so.
But Shangguan Xiu's status in the Zhenjun Army is like a god.
As long as he sees him, all the soldiers in the army will be full of energy.
Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, they will rush forward without hesitation.
The reason is because of his prestige High enough, enough to convince the public in the army, But Meng Qiuchen can't do it.
Just because he is from Ningnan, it is difficult to convince the public.
He serves as the chief military advisor of the group army, with one person under one person and over ten thousand people.
No one will object, but let him directly serve as the chief military advisor.
As the commander-in-chief of a group army, as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, I am afraid that unconvinced people will emerge in an endless stream, and chaos will arise in the Zhenjun army.
Shangguanxiu must take these factors into consideration.
It could be heard that Brother Xiu had no intention of letting Meng Qiuchen take over the Zhenjun Army.
Luo Ren took a deep breath and said seriously: "Other than the military advisor, the only suitable candidate is Lao Hu."
"Isn't it right to be a big bear?"
"A little bit rigid," "But Lao Hu is too arrogant," Luo Ren smiled, shook his head and said: "Actually, after careful study of Lao Hu's record and Lao Hu's fighting style, he is not arrogant, but surprisingly calm, and couldn't be more stable.
It's just that Brother Xiu can't learn from Lao Hu's fighting style.
Style, I feel that Lao Hu’s fighting style is too floating, which always makes people feel unsure,” Apart from Luo Ren, there is probably no one else in the world who dares to point out Shangguan Xiu's own problems so bluntly, frdo Instead of being angry, Shangguan Xiu burst out laughing and said, "Listen to what A Ren said, if I refuse to promote Lao Hu, it would be because I am too jealous of the virtuous and capable."
Luo Ren nodded, indicating that Shangguan Xiu's conclusion was correct.
Shangguanxiu tapped his forehead a few times, nodded, and said, "Okay, the candidate to take over the Zhenjun Army will be Lao Hu."
After a pause, he emphasized to Luo Ren: "Actually, I still think Lao Hu His fighting style is too arrogant," Luo Ren shook his head firmly and said, "It's not floating, it's very stable."
""The differences between Shangguan Xiu and Luo Ren basically represent the differences in the world's views on Hu Chong.
Some people look at Hu Chong's fighting style and think he strives for victory in a stable manner.
Others look at Hu Chong's fighting style and think he always likes to win in danger.
Both are reasonable, but they are not necessarily accurate.
Shangguan Xiu established the Governor's Mansion in Tianjing.
The Governor's Mansion consisted of the Military, Finance, Agriculture, Industry, Commerce, Punishment, Personnel, Household, Interior, and Foreign Affairs departments, a total of ten departments, plus a Qintian manage, The Qintiansi under the Governor's Mansion is actually the Sitianfu branch of the Feng Kingdom.
It is mainly responsible for observing the stars, forecasting the weather, and handling calendar, etiquette and other matters.
Currently, the Minister of Military Affairs is Luo Ren, the Minister of Agriculture is Peng Zhuo, the Minister of Internal Affairs is Zhang Jiuwei, and the Minister of Finance is Jun Shengnan.
In addition to the ministers of these four ministries, the other six ministries do not yet have suitable minister candidates.
Among them, one worth mentioning is Jun Shengnan from the Ministry of Finance.

The reason why he became the Minister of Finance is all because of the Jun family behind him.
After the Jun family expressed their attitude and were willing to submit to the Feng Kingdom, Shangguan Xiu immediately decided to promote Jun Shengnan to Minister of Finance.
The Minister of Finance is in charge of the money pockets of the entire Ningnan region.
His ability is secondary, and the power behind him is definitely the top priority.
In Ningnan, the Jun family is the largest family and monopolizes several economic lifelines.
The support of the Jun family can play a vital role in Fengguo quickly stabilizing the situation in Ningnan.
At the end of March, Hu Chong, who had officially taken over the Zhenjun Army, commanded five legions.
He took the lead in marching westward and launched an attack on the resistance forces in the counties in western Ningnan.
In early April, General Wei Chizhen led five legions and marched to the west. , assisting the Zhenjun army in fighting,
One after another, an army of one million people, with great strength and high morale, rushed straight into the western part of Ningnan.
The main target of their attack this time was Changsun Huai'an, who was recruiting troops from the counties in western Ningnan.
In the middle of the same month, Cai Xiao, the chief minister of the Feng Kingdom, Tang Mingzhu, the minister of political affairs, and You Ling, the president of the Duwei Mansion, arrived in Tianjing.
On the same day, Shangguan Xiu met the three of them at the Governor's Mansion.
The Governor's Mansion was based on Guanyu's mansion and expanded to reach its current scale.
In Tianjing, the Governor's Mansion was known as the Little Palace.
In the past, affairs in the Ningnan region were decided by the palace, but now, It is decided by the Governor's Palace.
In addition, the Governor's Palace is close to the Royal Palace, so it has the reputation of a small palace.
In the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, Cai Xiao, Tang Mingzhu, and You Ling took their seats one after another after paying homage to Shangguan Xiu.
When they first arrived in Tianjing, they naturally had many issues to discuss with Shangguan Xiu, and most of the issues were secret talks between senior officials of the Feng Kingdom.
Naturally, it was difficult for people from Ningnan to participate.
The Governor's Mansion accompanied Shangguan Xiu to receive them.
Of the three Cai Xiaos, only Luo Ren After the greetings, Cai Xiao got to the point and said: "Your Highness, I have received the list of officials from various departments of the Governor's Mansion.
On the way to Tianjing, I studied them carefully one by one."
Looking at Cai Xiao's hesitant expression, Shangguanxiu could already tell that he was not satisfied with the selection of officials in the Governor's Mansion.
He smiled and asked, "Master Cai, I think there is something wrong."
"The ministries that have chosen ministers have not yet been determined, so I won't say much.
At present, four ministries have been selected for ministers.
The only one that I feel is safe is the military department."
When speaking, Cai Xiao also pointed out to Luo Ren.
Nodding, the latter bowed and returned the greeting, "Oh," Shangguanxiu responded noncommittally, "The old minister thought that the ministers of the various ministries in the Governor's Mansion must be served by us Feng people.
However, at present, among the four ministers, except Mr.
Luo of the Military Department, who is a Feng person, the other three ministers are all from Ningnan, especially those from Ningnan.
Ministry of the Interior and Finance, 1 One involves the country's foundation, and the other involves real money.
How can His Highness allow people from Ningnan to hold such important positions?
This is too childish."
Listening to Cai Xiao's tone, it was obvious that the old man was leading Coming to Tianjing full of dissatisfaction, The Governor's Mansion does not have a Chief Minister, a Minister of the Privy Seal, or a Minister of Internal History.
Among them, the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is equivalent to the Chief Minister.
In Cai Xiao's view, such an important position cannot be filled with his confidants.
The Cai family is simply a huge loss.
In the past, the Cai family's power was only in Feng Country.
Now that Feng Country has annexed Ningnan, the Cai family's power will naturally extend to Ningnan to seize the hard-won fruits of victory.
If the Minister of Internal Affairs is one of our own, the expansion of the Cai family's power in Ningnan will be more effective.
Although Feng Country has undergone earth-shaking changes after unification, and its territory has more than doubled, the Cai family can still be the top wealthy family in Feng Country. , But such an important position as Minister of the Interior was given to a native of Ningnan by Shangguan Xiu in vain, to Zhang Jiuwei.
How could Cai Xiao feel happy?
In his opinion, Shangguan Xiu was deliberately targeting the Cai family by doing this.

He could not find a suitable candidate in the country and was worried that the position of Minister of Internal Affairs would fall to the Cai family, so he randomly found a Ningnan person to deal with it. thing,:
