Chapter 141 The Wei Family Will Never Be Divided! The First Commander of the New Army of the Great Zhou!

The Wei clan's ancestor worship ceremony ended.

The Wei family members of all lines were highly virtuous and respected, and they were not in a hurry to leave immediately.

They met Wei Yuan in a temple.

"General Wei, do you know how many people named Wei there are in the three major clans of Hedong Wei, Liangzhe Wei, and Shudao Wei?"

How does Wei Yuan know this answer? He shook his head.

The elder of the Hedong Wei family said slowly:

"In our three branches of the Wei family alone, there are more than 600,000 people, including nearly 200,000 young and strong men, engaged in various walks of life."

"Unlike the five surnames and Qi Wang, my Wei clan originally had few children and low power. Therefore, the Wei clan members from all over the country regard each other as being of the same ancestry and the same lineage, and they are extremely united."

"I have told you so much, Uncle Wei, and I have brought many disciples here today. It is not because I want to be related to you, Uncle Wei."

"Rather, from now on, our three branches of the Wei family, and even the entire people with the surname Wei in the Great Zhou Dynasty, will help you, Uncle Wei, to flourish your ambitions in the court."

"From now on, if you have any mission, I, the Wei clan, will go through fire and water for you without hesitation."

"We only ask for one thing, and that is, if our Wei clan is annihilated, or if the descendants of the Wei clan are allowed to live in the temple, please, Uncle Wei, please help us if you can. "

to be honest.

From now on, hundreds of thousands of Wei clan members will do their best to help Wei Yuan's lineage.

The price is that if the Wei clan in Hedong or Zhejiang encounters any difficulties in the future.

Wei Yuan must help.

The people of the Wei clan in Shumai, what they want and want is not the present, but the future, just like Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan knew that with their help, especially the Hedong Wei family, they would be even more powerful.

The influence of the Hedong Wei family in the Hedong area is extremely far-reaching, and even some old and famous families are difficult to compare with it.

To put it simply, if they work together to build Wei Yuan's reputation, Wei Yuan's prestige among the people will be even higher.

Of course, what Wei Yuan needs most now is not fame.

All in all, this is a good thing for Wei Yuan.

As for what will happen in the future, who can say clearly?

"Elder, please rest assured, this junior will take your words to heart."

"In the future, whether it is my Zhongyong Bo's lineage, or the Hedong, Liangzhe and Zhejiang lineage, etc., the Wei family in the world will share the same ancestry and origin, and we will work together to advance together."

As Wei Yuan's voice fell.

Many elders and family heads of the Wei family from all walks of life said one after another:

"Wei clan in the world share the same ancestry and origin, and we work together to advance together."

"Same origin and origin."

"."

It was like an oath, extremely solemn.

At this point, the Wei family in the world is not divided into families.

What surprised Wei Yuan the most about the discussion here was the number of three lineage guards.

If more than 600,000 people could completely unite this force.

He couldn't even think about it.

These are only the three meridians of the Wei family.

There are also many people in the Wei family from other branches.——

If it weren't for the fact that the dates of ancestor worship and the founding of the new army were too close.

Wei Yuan planned to select some capable people from various Wei clan descendants and send them to the army for cultivation.

Make him his confidant in the future.

He did not want to use the noble children because he was worried that they would have their own futures and backgrounds and would be difficult for him to firmly control.

Xu Changzhi is an exception.

He has been working hard with Wei Yuan for a long time.

The friendship between the two has long been like a mountain and a river.

Early October.

In the name of the right minister of the Ministry of War, Wei Yuan transferred 40,000 elite soldiers from the Horse Army Department and the Infantry Army Department.

These 40,000 people are almost all the elites of the Forbidden Army.

At this moment, Ma Junsi is in the Yamen.

Xu Changzhi asked curiously:

"With an establishment of 80,000, 40,000 new soldiers, and 40,000 veterans, there won't be any problems?"

After all, veterans often bully new recruits in the military.

Moreover, training new recruits is too laborious.

Wei Yuan smiled and said: "The commanders of all the armies of the Forbidden Army are all nobles. The officers at all levels of the New Army do not use their people, so they themselves are a little depressed."

"If all the 80,000 people are deployed from various armies and their elites are transferred away, will they feel comfortable?"

"Moreover, recruits are a blank piece of paper. You can paint on it as you like, but veterans cannot. They are already accustomed to the original training method."

"If the new recruits are trained for a few months and the veterans fail in a drill, they will naturally not resist the so-called new military training method."

"Furthermore, sparring between new recruits and veteran soldiers will also be more conducive to the training of the soldiers."

Hearing this, Xu Changzhi finally understood.

This is intended to use new recruits to motivate the old soldiers.

It can also avoid many problems, which is a good way.

"Has the money and food from the Ministry of Household Affairs been allocated?"

Xu Changzhi asked.

Wei Yuan nodded, "Put some aside for now, it will be enough for us to use for a while."

Xu Changzhi asked: "Where should we choose the barracks of the Danglu Army?"

Wei Yuan pulled him to the defense map of Bianjing and said:

"Fifty miles north of the Daxiangguo Temple, there are two mountain peaks and a plain. It has advantages whether it is training infantry or cavalry."

"This place is surrounded by mountains and rivers. You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. The old and new soldiers can each choose a mountain peak to camp, so that they can leverage each other's strength."

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Xu Changzhi.

"That's enough, Brother Wei, this place is very nice, but don't say any more."

Just choose the barracks within the city.

After all, there are many Forbidden Army establishments in the capital.

However, if you select the military camp and use the art of war, what does that mean?

Who are you planning to fight?

Wei Yuan understood what he meant and smiled: "The eldest daughter of the Sheng family will go out in a while, will you go?"

Xu Changzhi said: "I represent the Yongyi Hou Mansion, so I will naturally go."

Wei Yuan asked curiously: "From your tone, do you think you are going to fight for the title?"

Xu Changzhi nodded, "You can't just watch my Yongyi Hou Mansion decline like this, right?"

Seriously speaking, even if Xu Changzhi becomes a marquis, his status will be lower than that of Wei Yuan.

Because Wei Yuan was the first earl.

"Whether we fight or not, no matter in terms of ability or character, you should be the Marquis."

"Don't worry about whether to establish a direct descendant or a concubine. We, Daizhou brothers, will support you, so just go ahead and fight for it."

Wei Yuan patted his shoulder.

The next day, he summoned his direct descendants.

Xiao Yuming, Shen Qing, Xie Wu, Lin Zhaoyuan, Chen Aniu and Yang Huairen.

Huben Army, You Yi Army, Xuandun Army, Shengjie Army, Kaishan Army

Wei Yuan issued the appointment,

"Yuanzhi, you are good at riding and shooting. I will leave this tiger army to your command."

"Lin Zhaoyuan, Xie Wu, you two are scouts and charioteers, so I will leave the Kaishan Army to you."

"Lin Zhaoyuan is the commander of the Kaishan Army, and Xie Wu is the deputy commander."

"Xiao Yuming, although you are a Confucian general and not very skilled in martial arts, you are well versed in the art of military formations. I will leave this Black Shield Army to you."

"Shen Qing, the You Yi Army is entrusted to you, Yang Huairen. You are the temporary deputy commander of the Danglu Army. You are mainly responsible for commanding the Shengjie Army."

"The Shengjie Army is all spearmen. I believe that you can use this army to promote your Yang family's marksmanship again."

After making the unified appointment.

The work of forming a new army is officially on the agenda.

These people are all carefully selected by Wei Yuan.

With them in important positions, they can firmly control the new army in their hands.

After hearing the appointment, several people bowed one after another and said:

"The last general takes command!"

"The last general."

"."

After much thought, Wei Yuan decided to hand over the position of deputy capital commander to Xu Changzhi one day.

As for Yang Huairen, he takes it temporarily.

Seeing this, Xu Changzhi couldn't help but frown and said:

"Brother Wei, the Daizhou brothers who followed us to the capital have all held important positions."

"If this matter reaches His Majesty's ears."

Wei Yuan shook his head and smiled,

"There is no need to worry, Changzhi. I have already gone to Zhazi and asked your Majesty to approve this matter."

"Without His Majesty's nod, I would not dare to make such arrangements."

"At most, it's just that the censor is a bit more difficult to deal with."

As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Zhu came in person and invited Wei Yuan into the palace to meet the emperor.

Hearing this, Wei Yuan said helplessly: "It is probably those censors who impeached me."

Xu Changzhi frowned and said, "This matter is still too..."

He looked like he was hesitant to speak.

Wei Yuan naturally knew what he wanted to say.

Chen Daniu and others did not dare to say anything when they heard the two of them talking.

When Wei Yuan was present, they listened to Wei Yuan's words; when Wei Yuan was absent, they listened to Xu Changzhi's words.

Therefore, if Xu Changzhi and Wei Yuan were discussing something, they would not dare to interrupt.

Wei Yuan pulled Xu Changzhi aside and said softly:

"Once the new army is established, I will be the first commander-in-chief of this army. If we don't need to recruit people, why should we use outsiders?"

"Even if His Majesty has suspicions, what he would rather see is the completion of the new army. It is me who will train the new army into an elite force capable of winning wars."

"Other than that, everything is nothing to His Majesty."

Hearing this, Xu Changzhi had no choice but to nod.

At this time, Manager Zhu was urging again,

"General Wei, His Majesty is still waiting for you in the Xuanzheng Palace."

"Go quickly, don't keep His Majesty waiting."

"Your Majesty said that you don't need to bathe or change clothes, just wear armor and go to the temple."
