NOVEL NEXT Chapter 204
After the martial arts performance, Zhang Fu also began to assign the new recruits.
He stood on the high platform, his eyes swept across the dense crowd below the stage, and said loudly: "Brothers! Today we are going to decide your future destination. I hope everyone can find their own position and contribute to the country!"
He paused, and then said: "First of all, I want to tell you a good news. After this recruitment, our army has been greatly enriched."
"The Taiping Army has been supplemented from the original 80,000 to 100,000; the Yue Family Army has been supplemented from the original 30,000 to 60,000; the Flying Tiger Army has been supplemented from the original 20,000 to 60,000; the Xu Family Army has been supplemented from the original less than 10,000 to 60,000; the Daming Navy has been supplemented from the original 20,000 to 60,000; the Northern Frontier Army has been supplemented from the original 20,000 to 40,000."
Everyone listened to Zhang Fu's words, with excitement and expectation in their eyes. They knew that this meant more opportunities and challenges were waiting for them.
Zhang Fu continued, "Next, it is the specific allocation plan. The Taiping Army, Yue Family Army, Flying Tiger Army, Xu Family Army, Daming Navy and Beisai Army will each accept a portion of new recruits. These troops are our country's elite divisions. You will receive the most rigorous training here and become real warriors."
He turned his head to look at the generals on the side, motioning them to come on stage to announce the specific allocation list.
The first to come on stage was the general of the Taiping Army. He read out a series of names in a loud voice, and the recruits who were selected stood up one after another, their faces filled with pride and joy.
Next came the generals of the Yue Family Army, then the Flying Tiger Army... The allocation of each team caused cheers and applause.
Finally, Zhang Fu looked at the remaining 40,000 recruits and said with a smile: "As for you, you will be assigned to the garrisons of Jizhou, Qingzhou, Gaozhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou. Although you cannot directly participate in the front-line battles, your mission is equally important. You must protect your homeland, defend the people, and allow the people to live in peace."
After listening to Zhang Fu's words, the recruits were filled with a sense of mission. They knew that no matter where they were, as long as they did their part for the country, it was something to be proud of.
With the completion of the assignment, the recruits began to pack their luggage and prepare to go to the new station. They said goodbye to each other and wished each other a bright future.
In a lively atmosphere, the recruits embarked on a new journey. They were ready to meet unknown challenges with their dreams and beliefs. Zhang Fu stood on the high platform and watched them leave.
......
After the assignment of the recruits, the four great commanders, Yue Fei, Xu Da, Xin Qiji and Yizhi Wende, gathered in Zhang Fu's imperial study.
They bowed respectfully to Zhang Fu and said, "Your Majesty!"
Zhang Fu smiled and responded, "Sit down!" He knew that these cumbersome etiquettes were deeply rooted in the bones of people in this era. Although he didn't like it, it was extremely difficult to change it.
"Today, I summoned the four of you to determine the areas you are responsible for guarding. Gaozhou has 100,000 Ming navy stationed there, and it is safe and worry-free."
"Therefore, at present, we only need to consider the guarding of Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou and Bingzhou. It happens that each of you can be responsible for one of these four states."
Zhang Fu had already carefully planned everything and gave orders directly at this moment.
Yue Fei, Xu Da, Xin Qiji and Yi Zhiwende answered in unison: "Everything is subject to the king's arrangement!"
"Yi Zhiwende, half of the troops under your command are from the Wuhuan tribe, so you will lead the Northern Frontier Army to guard Youzhou, and by the way, you can also guard the Wuhuan tribe on the grassland."
"The grassland is not peaceful now. The Xiongnu and Xianbei tribes are not honest, so the burden on your shoulders is still very heavy." Wang Chen first arranged the defense of Youzhou
Yi Zhiwende immediately stood up and accepted the order: "Yes, king!"
He was also willing to guard Youzhou, after all, his subordinates There are indeed many Wuhuan people among the people. There are also many Wuhuan tribes in Youzhou. At the same time, the grassland Wuhuan is adjacent to Youzhou.
Zhang Fu followed and arranged: "The next is Qingzhou. Xu Da, you lead the army to guard Qingzhou. Qingzhou is adjacent to Xuzhou and Yanzhou and is also an extremely important strategic place."
Zhang Fu also considered Yue Fei and Xu Da for a long time before deciding on the ownership of Qingzhou.
"Yes, King!" Xu Da immediately accepted the order. Xu Da felt that it was acceptable to be assigned to any place. After all, his subordinates were all new soldiers, so it was the same everywhere.
"Next is the defense of Jizhou. Jizhou will be guarded by you, Xin Qiji!" Wang Chen said.
This is also the result of Zhang Fu's contemplation. Jizhou is adjacent to Yanzhou and part of Sili, and then there is the Xianbei tribe in the grassland, which is also veryA very critical position.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xin Qiji accepted the order.
Zhang Fu then smiled and said, "Then Yue Fei will guard the last Bingzhou. The next strategic deployment is closely related to Bingzhou, so your responsibility is the greatest among the four of you!"
As early as during the training of new recruits, he had discussed with the top counselors under his command, and Bingzhou was an important part of it.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely not let Your Majesty down!" Yue Fei stood up instantly and took the order directly.
Yue Fei would not think about so many things. As long as it was the order of Your Majesty, he would execute it to the end, so it was the same no matter where he guarded.
"Well, let's rest in Beiping for two days first, and then set off to the places we are responsible for guarding after two days!" Wang Chen said.
Now that the arrangements for guarding have been made, it should be in place as soon as possible, so that the plan can be slowly implemented.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" After receiving the order, Xu Da, Yue Fei, Xin Qiji, and Yi Zhi Wende stood up and left the palace.
Zhang Fu nodded silently as he watched them leave, and then began to review memorials and handle the government affairs of the Ming Dynasty.
......
At the same time, a piece of news reached Zhang Fu's ears, which made Zhang Fu smile directly.
"Your Majesty, I just received news that Dong Zhuo has abolished the Han Emperor Liu Bian and supported the young emperor Liu Xie to ascend the throne. He even proclaimed himself as the Grand Master. Now he is truly powerful in the court!"
"And on the day after the emperor was abolished, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Li Ru personally led people to try to poison Liu Bian and his concubine Tang Ji!"
"It's a pity that Shi A was a step slower and only saved Tang Ji, while Liu Bian had been poisoned by Li Ru. Now Tang Ji has been escorted to Beiping by the bad guys!" Guo Jia reported the latest intelligence he had received.
Zhang Fu nodded. He had known about this matter for a long time, but Shi A's rescue was unexpected. But after looking at Guo Jia, he understood that this must be Guo Jia's instruction.
"Well done, now we are waiting for the next move of the world!" Zhang Fu said with a smile.
"My king, should we take in Tang Ji? After all, she is the concubine of Liu Bian, the former emperor of the Han Dynasty. If we take her in, will it attract the attention of Dong Zhuo?" Guo Jia asked worriedly.
Although he instructed this matter, he did not discuss it with Zhang Fu, so Guo Jia was also testing Zhang Fu's own thoughts.
"It doesn't matter. Although Dong Zhuo is powerful, we are not easy to mess with. Moreover, taking in Tang Ji is also a manifestation of humanitarianism, which can win more support." Zhang Fu said confidently.
"Well, since the king has decided to take in Tang Ji, we must be prepared to deal with Dong Zhuo's revenge." Guo Jia reminded.
"Well, I know, but we can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to find ways to expand our sphere of influence and strengthen our strength to compete with Dong Zhuo." Zhang Fu said seriously.
"Your Majesty is right. We can use this opportunity to recruit more talents, develop economic industries such as agriculture and commerce, and at the same time strengthen military training to improve the combat effectiveness of the army." Guo Jia suggested.
"Good idea, let's do as you say. In addition, we must pay close attention to the movements of other princes and be ready to respond to possible threats at any time." Zhang Fu instructed.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Guo Jia replied respectfully.
Afterwards, the two discussed some details, and then Guo Jia was about to deal with the affairs.
At this time, Yao Guangxiao walked in and said with a smile: "When Tang Ji arrives, we can use Tang Ji as an excuse to completely change our identities in the name of revenge for Emperor Liu Bian of the Han Dynasty!"
"Your Majesty should be clear that although we have established a country now, we are still rebels in the final analysis, but it will be different with the queen Tang Ji."
"As long as we use Tang Ji's identity, we can change our identities from rebels to real princes of the Han Dynasty, and everything we do is because of the instructions of the late Emperor Liu Hong!"
"No one can confirm the truth of this matter, But we have bad people all over the world, and we only need to publicize it a little bit, and people all over the world will know our identity. "
"And why did the king want to be king? It was because of the intention of Emperor Liu Bian of the Han Dynasty. He knew that Dong Zhuo's power was great, so he needed a strong external reinforcement. "
"So the king is that reinforcement. Anyway, Liu Hong and Liu Bian are dead. If you want to confirm the king's identity, you can only ask Tang Ji, but Tang Ji is in the hands of the king, so everything is under control!"
Yao Guangxiao's words made Zhang Fu and Guo Jia silent.They had not considered the issue of identity at all.
"Doing this would also be very beneficial. Your Majesty should know that there are still many talented people in the world who are pro-Han, and once this news spreads, Your Majesty can get help from these people!"
"Anyway, when Dong Zhuo is destroyed, it is not impossible for Liu Xie to die in advance at the hands of Dong Zhuo. At that time, these people can only follow the lord!"
Just when Zhang Fu and Guo Jia were silent, Yao Guangxiao touched his big bald head and continued to speak, and these words made Zhang Fu's eyes light up.
Others may not know, but he himself knows that among the talents who are loyal to the Han Dynasty and are still in the wild, there is a person comparable to Xiao He.
If he gets help from this person, it will definitely be a great help.
