Chapter 532: Change (2)

Everyone held their breath and listened carefully to Jiang Jiaquan's rhythmic voice announcing the power structure of the Zhengdong Military Governor's Office.

"The Military Governor's Office has a Political Affairs Hall, which has a Councillor, who is appointed by me, and a Deputy Councillor, who is appointed by Lord Yan Shenghao. The Councillor is in charge of the overall situation, and the Deputy Councillor assists him. Under the Councillor, there are six ministries, and the heads of the six ministries are the Shangshu. The Councillor and the six ministries are directly responsible to General Gao. The Ministry of Personnel, Zhang Cheng'an."

As Jiang Jiaquan sang a name, a middle-aged man in his early forties stood up and bowed to everyone, "Zhang Cheng'an, please take care of me, gentlemen."

Looking at this unfamiliar face, everyone was stunned, and there were discussions in private, but Zhang Cheng'an stood still, bowed to Gao Yuan, took the seal of the Minister of Personnel from Gao Yuan, returned to his seat, and sat down calmly. It's no wonder that people didn't recognize him. This person was originally from Anzhou and was recruited by Jiang Jiaquan. He was also a famous legalist and was very famous in Anzhou. This person was appointed as the Minister of Personnel, which was the result of a long discussion between Jiang Jiaquan and Gao Yuan. The Ministry of Personnel, ranked first among the six ministries, was in charge of the promotion and dismissal of all people and had great power. Zhang Cheng'an had no foundation here and no friends, so he must be fair and impartial.

"Ministry of Revenue, Wang Wudi!" Following Jiang Jiaquan's voice, another person stood up and took the seal of the Ministry of Revenue from Gao Yuan. Everyone recognized Wang Wudi. After Cao Tiancheng resigned, this person was in charge of all the logistics work of the Eastern Expedition Army. He was flawless and meticulous, and was praised by everyone. Of course, if it weren't for Cao Tiancheng's resignation, this position should have belonged to Cao Tiancheng.

"Ministry of Justice, Zheng Jianjie." After another name came out, everyone was a little surprised. This person was the former governor of Hejian County. He came to Jishi City with Yan Shenghao. Everyone never thought that this person would take up such an important position.

"Ministry of Works, Guo Quan." This time, everyone was not surprised, but stunned. Most of the people present were from humble backgrounds, but Guo Quan was a slave. After the Eastern Expedition Army took over Jishi City, he was rescued from the Gongsun tribe. Later, he was in charge of the construction of Jishi City. His work was also excellent, but he was just a Gongcao in Jishi City before. This time, he was promoted to the top.

The thin and dry Guo Quan trembled and walked out from the place closest to the door. At this time, he understood why the meeting of the senior officials of the Eastern Expedition Army specially called him to come. He never expected that he would soar to the sky and become one of the heads of the six departments.

"I am a humble man, I am not capable enough to undertake this important task. Please think twice and appoint someone else." Guo Quan walked up to Gao Yuan and knelt down without saying a word.

"Sir Guo, I can't refuse. The Jishi City you presided over was built very well. Not only this city, but also the roads outside the city and various auxiliary facilities. Each one is outstanding. I know you haven't read much, but you have sufficient practical experience. I am just starting out in the East Prefecture. There will definitely be a lot of large-scale projects in the future.

At that time, I will need the help of Sir Guo's skills." Gao Yuan smiled and walked down, personally helped up the trembling Guo Quan, handed him the seal of the Ministry of Works, raised his head, and looked at everyone: "Heroes don't ask where they come from. In my conquest, In the East Palace, as long as you are capable and willing to work hard, you will have your place. I hope you all will encourage each other. "

Seeing Guo Quan trembling constantly, holding the seal in his hands like a treasure and retreating, Jiang Jiaquan smiled and said: "The Ministry of Rites is temporarily vacant, but the general has a candidate in mind, and he should be able to take the position soon. In addition, the Ministry of War will not have a minister for the time being, and the general will lead it personally."

The Ministry of War does not have a minister because the strongest force in the East Palace is the army, and none of the generals in the army has the ability to intimidate everyone, so Gao Yuan can only lead it first.

"After the ministers of each department go down, they must quickly set up the framework of their own department and set up officials according to the needs. The general has no other requirements, just one point, efficiency! I hope everyone can understand this. We have tigers and wolves lurking outside. Anything, the capital must be swift and resolute, and must not be delayed. However, if there is ineffective work, not only will the direct person in charge be punished, but even the heads of the six departments will also be held responsible."

"Yes, sir!" The four officials who had just received the seal stood up and bowed together.

"At the local level, Jishi City will be the county seat, and Jishi County will be established. Wu Kai will be the governor of Jishi County."

"The governor of Liaoxi County was originally appointed by General Gao himself. After the establishment of the Dudu Mansion, General Gao is ready to step down from this position and Zheng Jun will be appointed as the governor of Liaoxi County."

"The governor of Hejian County will be Wu Ci'an."

At the local level, the appointment of these three officials was not unexpected at all. This was a done deal. The three stood up, walked in front of Gao Yuan, took the governor's seal, bowed and retreated.

At this point, the officials of the Zhengdong Military Governor's Office have basically come to an end. The next step is the army, which is also the issue that everyone in the hall is more concerned about. After all, the Zhengdong Military Governor's Office will continue to fight wars, and the appointment of military generals is the top priority.

"General Gao, no, I should call you the governor now. You will announce the reform of the army!" Jiang Jiaquan turned around and bowed to Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan nodded, stood up, and looked around the hall. There were almost twice as many senior generals as there were senior generals. He said slowly: "In the past, the Eastern Expedition Army's system of the Yan military system was complicated and difficult to understand. , the leadership is unclear, so I decided that the army will undergo large-scale changes, canceling the three armies of the left, center and right, and establishing four new armies: the Eastern Field Army, the Northern Field Army, and the Central Field Army."

When all the generals heard these four names, they all looked blank. Gao Yuan has always been troubled by the complex personnel relationships and mutual reporting in the military system of this era, and has always wanted to change this. This time, taking advantage of the restructuring of the Zhengdong Mansion, he simply ignored the opposition of the Jiang Family Quan and Yan Shenghao and decided to reorganize the structure of the army. into a system that you are familiar with.

"As the name implies, the field army in that direction will fight on that side." Gao Yuan looked at the confusion of everyone, and couldn't help but feel joy in his heart, and a sense of superiority emerged spontaneously.

"Each field group army has one commander and two armies. Below the army, there are divisions, regiments, battalions, companies, platoons, and squads." Gao Yuan waved his hand, and Cao Tianci on one side immediately unfolded a power structure diagram. , hung on a wooden shelf and placed in the center of the lobby. A group of generals immediately gathered around. The structure diagram was clear at a glance. The commander was in charge of two armies, one army was in charge of two divisions, one division was in charge of three regiments, one regiment was in charge of four battalions, and one regiment was in charge of four battalions. The battalion has four companies, one company has four platoons, and one platoon has four squads. A squad of ten men, a platoon of forty men, a company of one hundred and sixty men, a battalion of one thousand men, a regiment of four thousand men, and a division of twelve thousand men. Calculated in this way, the field army on one side has 48,000 soldiers. Adding some non-combatants, the field army on one side will definitely exceed 50,000 people.

"Where did we get so many soldiers?" Ye Chong swallowed, looked at Gao Yuan, and said: "Commander, our Eastern Expeditionary Army currently has less than 20,000 people in total, and according to your structure diagram, the four The field army in this area has more than 200,000 troops!"

Gao Yuan laughed, "I have set up the structure. What everyone has to do in the future is to fill in the blanks. General Ye, how many troops have you recruited from Liaoxi County now?"

Ye Zhong shook his head, "Recruiting soldiers is easy but not easy. Our Eastern Expeditionary Army implements a standing army system. Every time a soldier is recruited, he must be paid and fed every day. I currently only have three soldiers in western Liaoning. Thousands of people.”

"General Ye is right, it is easy to make more soldiers, but it is not easy to make more soldiers. This is also the standard for our recruitment in the future. But don't focus on the present, but look further. We don't have enough soldiers now, but what about the future? Let's first recruit Once the framework is set up, there will be rules to follow in the future. Now, if you only have one corps of personnel, form a division first, and if you have one corps of personnel, form a corps."

"Understood!" All the generals understood what Gao Yuan meant. In other words, the next time is when the various field armies will show their talents. As long as you have enough troops, the superiors will give you enough. preparation.

"Of course, the newly established army must first be approved by the Ministry of War. Only after it is approved by the Ministry of War, will the Governor's Office recognize the existence of this army, and the Ministry of Household Affairs will pay the soldiers for a long time. If anyone dares to recruit some people casually, Come and fool me, you can figure it out with your butt." Gao Yuan added, the smile on his face disappeared and became a little cold.

"I want an army that can win the war. For such an army, I can sell iron to make trousers. It is not a ragtag group with a large number of people but poor military discipline and no fighting ability."

"As you command!"

"Northern Field Army, Commander Sun Xiao, Commanders Xu Yuan and Yan Peng."

"Eastern Field Army, Commander He Lanxiong, Commander Meng Chong, Yan Haibo."

"Southern Field Army, Commander Ye Chong, Commander Zheng Xiaoyang, Tie Xuan."

"Central Field Army, Commander Ye Zhen, Army Commander Infantry, Naha."

"Commanders of various departments and army commanders are personally appointed by the Governor's Office. Division commanders are nominated by the commander of the group army and submitted to the Governor's Office for review and approval. Commanders above the regiment level are appointed by the commanders themselves and submitted to the Governor's Office for record."

Generals above the division commander are appointed by the Dudu Mansion to ensure the loyalty of senior generals, while officials below the regiment level are appointed by the group army itself, which ensures that the head of an army can maximize the combat effectiveness of the army, thereby ensuring that he can be an arm in command.
