Chapter 398

On June 20th, Ouyang Shuo came to Leizhou.

A temporary military and political meeting was held in Ouyangshuo, LS County, to arrange post-war affairs.

Secretary Lang Bai Nanpu stood behind Ouyang Shuo.

On the left side of the main hall, General Bai Qi sat at the head, followed by the four division heads. On the right side of the main hall, there are four directors. Other than that, there is no one else.

As soon as the meeting started, Secretary Lang Bai Nanpu read out a series of commendation orders in public.

"Decree: The Second Division of the Longxiang Army galloped across the country, fought south and north, and strengthened our army's prestige. The head of the division, Luo Shixin, was specially appointed as General Yingyang to honor his achievements and bravery. The rest of the Second Division , all have rewards."

Luo Shixin came out, knelt down on one knee, and said excitedly: "Thank you, Junhou, for the reward!"

The Battle of Tamu County, if it hadn't been for the rapid march of the Second Division beyond the limit, I am afraid it would have been a different ending. Luo Shixin's contribution in the battle of Leizhou is indispensable.

It is appropriate to be named General Yingyang.

"Decree: The Fourth Division of the Longxiang Army was brave and good at fighting, swept across the northern border, and strengthened our army's prestige. The head of the division, Mu Guiying, was specially appointed as General Xuanwei to commend his achievements and his courage. The rest of the Fourth Division Soldiers, all have rewards."

Mu Guiying came out and followed Xie En.

"Decree: The first division of the Huben Legion is unyielding in adversity, pacifies the southern border, and strengthens our army's prestige. The head of the division, Fan Lihua, is specially appointed as General Zhao Lie.

Fan Lihua came out to thank her, but her expression was a little unnatural.

Of the three armies, only the South Army led by her was in ambush. How could the stronger Fan Lihua not be embarrassed.

So far, the four division heads who fought in Leizhou have all been named fifth-rank generals.

After the rewards are awarded, the four directors will report on Leizhou's post-war harvest.

The first to report was naturally Du Ruhui, Director of Military Affairs.

"In the battle of Leizhou, the four master regiments killed more than 6,400 people, slightly injured more than 7,500 people, and seriously injured more than 1,500 people."

Hearing the report of army casualties, Ouyang Shuo frowned.

Unexpectedly, Leizhou was still a tough bone, and it hurt the expeditionary army. It is estimated that more than 20,000 gold coins will be consumed for the post-war pension alone.

Du Ruhui continued: "According to the statistics of the Military Affairs Administration, a total of more than 114,300 prisoners of war were captured in this battle, of which more than 15,000 were seriously injured, and they have been arranged to retire."

One hundred thousand prisoners of war must be resettled in time, otherwise the food and grass supply alone would be an astronomical figure.

"How is the quality of prisoners of war?" Ouyang Shuo asked.

Du Ruhui heard the words, and said in a deep voice: "Not very optimistic. Not to mention, the prisoners of war are basically from the city defense force and lack actual combat experience. What's worse, after this battle, some soldiers have buried their war-weariness and forcibly It might not be appropriate to leave them in the army."

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Since that's the case, we must select the best, those who are not good enough and who are war-weary, and arrange for them to retire as soon as possible and resume production in Leizhou."

"clear!"

"Let me think about it." Ouyang Shuo pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "The selected prisoners are divided into two categories. One is the city defense force, and the other is the field army."

Speaking of this, Ouyang Shuo turned his head, looked at Fan Zhongyan, and said, "Leizhou was established as Leizhou County, and five prefectures were established around five third-level county towns, namely Leishan Mansion, Hengshan Mansion, Hai'an Mansion, Qiantang Mansion and Yantang Mansion. Luo Mansion. The remaining 22 counties are divided into the five prefectures according to their regions."

Fan Zhongyan nodded solemnly, it is really terrible, this time, one sheriff, five prefects and twenty-two county magistrates will be appointed.

Ouyang Shuo looked at Du Ruhui again, and said, "According to the unified organization of Shanhai City, each county has a city defense battalion, each prefecture has a city guard brigade, and each county has a security division."

"In total, the city defense force alone needs 37,000 people. As for the field army, two divisions will be reorganized. One division will be supplemented by the Huben Army, and will be given the designation of the Fourth Division of the Huben Army. The other division The regiment is temporarily named the Independent First Division."

Du Ruhui nodded, according to the arrangements of the princes, to make up for the dead soldiers of the four master regiments, more than 26,800 people need to be dismissed. These dismissed soldiers will be turned into real reserve soldiers.

The expenditure on disarmament is another large sum!

Ouyang Shuo looked at Bai Qi and Du Ruhui, and said, "Three candidates for division head, do you have anyone to recommend?"

In this campaign, a total of three historical generals were captured, namely Cao GUI, Wei Zhang and Bailishi, which was just right. The crux of the problem is, first, whether it is appropriate to use a demoted general as the division head; second, which general will serve as the division head of which division? This is all sophisticated.

Of the three divisions, the garrison division has the lowest status.

In addition, the newly formed third division of the Huben Army still lacks a division commander.

From this point of view, generals are still not enough!

The hall suddenly became quiet.

This was the first time that Ouyang Shuo asked for opinions in public on the candidate for the head of the division, and did not make arbitrary decisions.

Du Ruhui glanced at Bai Qi, and took the lead to say: "I would like to report to you, regarding the selection of the commander of the garrison division, I think it is more appropriate to promote one of the brigade commanders."

"Keming is right." Ouyang Shuo nodded.

Indeed, the Leizhou Security Division is in charge of Leizhou County. In addition to being responsible for the defense of a county, it also has a hidden mission, which is to suppress the unrest in the county.

In this case, it is indeed inappropriate to use a local general from Leizhou. The division head of the Leizhou Security Division may seem unimportant, but in fact it is very important.

Ouyang Shuo looked at Bai Qi and said, "The candidate for the division commander of the garrison division is selected from among the brigade commanders who performed well in the Leizhou battle. Who does the general think is the most suitable?"

As the commander-in-chief of the Battle of Leizhou, Bai Qi naturally has the most say.

Hearing this, the other four division heads also looked at Bai Qi nervously.

If the recommended brigade commander comes from their division, it is naturally a great honor and affirmation.

Hearing the words, Bai Qi pondered for a while, and said slowly: "The general thinks that Zhao Yan, brigade commander of the first brigade of the first division of the Huben Army, is a suitable candidate."

"Okay, then Zhao Yan will be settled!"

This time, Ouyang Shuo fully believed in Bai Qi's judgment.

After appointing the division commander of the Leizhou garrison division, Ouyang Shuo had a good idea of ​​the arrangements for the three of Cao GUI, and said, "Decree: Cao GUI will be the division commander of the third division of the Huben Army; The division commander of the fourth division of the Huben Army; Wei Zhang, the division commander of the first independent division."

"promise!"

Du Ruhui seemed to understand the appointment of the prince and marquis, but he couldn't help admiring it.

The third division is the Mountain Division, Shan Zhu, the deputy head of the division, is more than brave, but still lacks some strategies. It is undoubtedly a wonderful move for Cao GUI, a general of military division type, to be the division commander of the third division.

The two of them have a piece of literature and a martial arts, which is a perfect match.

From this point of view, Junhou had high hopes for Shan Zhu, a young general, and specially arranged for him a good teacher.

"Your Majesty, when it comes to Cao GUI, there will be something that needs to be reported."

"speak!"

"After Cao GUI was captured, he wanted to commit suicide several times in order to show his ambition. It may not be a simple matter to persuade Cao GUI to surrender willingly." Du Ruhui said.

"Oh? There are other things like this." Ouyang Shuo raised his brows, "From this point of view, Cao GUI's lord is still a remarkable person, to be so supported by his generals, he did not hesitate to die for his loyalty."

"If I remember correctly, Cao GUI is a general from Yanluo County?"

"Exactly! The lord of Yanluo County is named Yanhuo Yaoxie, and he also has a civil servant Bao Shuya under him."

The one who spoke was Fan Zhongyan, Director of Administration.

"This is really interesting. In the land of Leizhou, there are indeed hidden dragons and crouching tigers." Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, and said, "Aside from Bao Shuya, are there other people among the civilian officials captured this time?"

"Yes." Fan Zhongyan nodded and said, "In addition to Bao Shuya, there are Zang Wenzhong and Shi Wen."

"Ok?"

Ouyang Shuo had no impression of these two.

It's no wonder that in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, there were more than a hundred people with a little name.

"This minister knows a thing or two about these two people." Unlike Ouyang Shuo, Fan Zhongyan is well-read and has a deep knowledge of history books.

"Oh? Xiwen might as well tell us about it."

"Let's talk about Zang Wenzhong first. This man was a doctor of the State of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period. He has experienced the four monarchs of Lu Zhuanggong, Mingong, Xigong, and Wengong. Zang Wenzhong was ordered in a crisis, and he was open-minded. He once abolished checkpoints to facilitate business. Be erudite and knowledgeable without sticking to common etiquette, occupy an important position and be honored with clear rewards and punishments, do good things like others, and don't be ashamed to ask questions from subordinates."

Ouyang Shuo nodded. From this point of view, he is really a good civil servant.

"Let's talk about Shiwen. This person is a musician, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, he can be regarded as a master." Fan Zhongyan only had a few words about Shiwen's introduction, and he also knew that the king would not be interested.

Sure enough, Ouyang Shuo just nodded.

As far as the territory is concerned, a musician can only be arranged to teach in the Southwest University Hall. For a hero like Ouyang Shuo, it's really not worth paying attention to.

When Fan Zhongyan introduced Zang Wenzhong and Shiwen, Bai Qi's expression was a little weird.

Hearing Fan Zhongyan mention Yanluo County, Bai Qi remembered the battle report he had thrown in the corner. What an amazing memory Bai Qi had. At that time, he only glanced at the battle report and knew the general idea.

The brigade commander of the first brigade of the Imperial Guard Division reported to him about the abnormality in Yanluo County. The weirdest among them is the lord of Yanluo County, the pyrotechnic evildoer?

Thinking of this, Bai Qi said aloud: "Qi Junhou, to persuade Cao GUI, the breakthrough is still in Yanluo County's lord Yanhuo Yaoxie."

"How to say?"

Bai Qi recounted the battle report, selecting the essence.

"There are such strange things?" Ouyang Shuo's interest was completely hooked, and he said with a smile, "It seems that I have to meet this lord for a while."

Not to mention the evil spirits of fireworks, Ouyang Shuo's eyes are very greedy for Bao Shuya.
