Chapter 482 Meeting

"Everyone is a pillar of talent. It is my great fortune to be willing to live in Liaodong. On behalf of the 60 million people in Pingzhou, I would like to thank you all!" Gathered together, Shang Ji stood up first to thank everyone.

"Serve for the lord, I will wait anytime!"

"The ancients said that those who have made merit will be rewarded! You have worked tirelessly to seek the well-being of the people of Pingzhou. You have made outstanding contributions and are naturally rewarded. Next, I invite Mr. Yang Yi to read out the latest personnel appointments!"

Hearing what Shang Ji said, everyone immediately sat up straight and looked at Yang Yi expectantly.

Yang Yi coughed lightly, stood up and bowed to Shang Ji, and then turned to the crowd: "My colleagues, as entrusted by my lord, Yi is here to announce the personnel appointment."

As he said that, Yang Yi opened a volume of documents and read aloud: "Deng Yan, the Prime Minister of Liaodong County, worked tirelessly for the country and the people. He prospered day and night and slept night and night with clothing and food. Drive, assist Pingzhou Mu in governing Liaodong!"

"Thank you my lord, I will die for my lord!"

Deng Yan immediately stood up and shouted loudly.

Everyone was not surprised by this appointment. Deng Yan was originally Liaodong County Prime Minister, and his qualifications and achievements are impeccable. Including his relationship with Shang Ji and his sworn friendship, don't give up his position!

"Liu Yi, Lieutenant of Liaodong Commandery, protected the territory and the people, protected the people, and made great contributions to conquering Liucheng and pacifying Wuhuan. He was specially promoted to serve as a soldier in Pingzhou, and assisted Pingzhou Mu in charge of the military in the state."

"Yi thanked the lord, and died for the lord!"

Liu Yi's appointment was no surprise. Nowadays, the top historical generals in the Shangji Army appear one after another, but no one can threaten Liu Yi's position as the number two figure in the army.

"Yanxie in Liaodong... was promoted to work in classics, in charge of state middle school administration..."

"Yingchuan Xunyu,...appointed as a councilor, to participate in military affairs..."

"Chen Guan of Liaodong... appointed as the commander-in-chief of General Du Liao..."

"East Liaodong Liu Meng,...appointed as General Du Liao Sima..."

"Liaodong Yangyi,...appointed as a meritorious service..."

"Yingchuan Chen Ang,...appointed as Zhizhong..."

"Tai Shici,...promoted to Captain Huben, commanding Lieyang Cavalry..."

"Zhao Yun,... was promoted to Captain Zhenwei, in command of the Silver Dragon Cavalry..."

"Zhang Yun,...promoted to be the Captain of the Poor Thieves, preparing to build a Hundred Wars Illusory Pawn..."

"Huang Zhong...was promoted to Captain Yusheng, preparing to build a Sun Shooter..."

"Dian Wei,...promoted to be a lieutenant of the guards, and preparing to build the Evil God Guard..."

"Guo Biao,...appointed Lieutenant of Liaodong County..."

"Li Xu,...appointed as a loyal school lieutenant, bestowed with the secret manual of the heavy armor sharp spear, and preparing to build a heavy armor sharp barracks"

"Fu Yao,...appointed as Captain Zhaoyi, bestowed with cheats on giant shield soldiers, and preparing to build a giant shield barracks"

"Kou Xian,...appointed as the captain of Pocheng, bestowed with manuals on manipulating soldiers, and preparing to build a manipulating battalion!"

"Yang Cheng,...appointed as a Zhongyong school lieutenant, and bestowed with secret books on the mountain barbarian infantry."

"Su Huan, Lu Kuang, Gao Xiang, Wang Shu, Zhao Shen, and Qin Ping were promoted to Jianwei, Jianyi, Zhaoxin, Zhaoren, Fenwu, and Fenwei respectively..."

"Promote Wang Yue to Yanwu school lieutenant and chief infantry instructor of the Pingzhou Army!"

……………………………

It took Yang Yi a full quarter of an hour to finish announcing this long personnel appointment.

Generally speaking, they are promoted in order of seniority and merit, and there is nothing particularly unexpected. Even Wang Yue, the martial arts school lieutenant, is a bit nondescript, but there is no way to do it.

As we all know, Wang Yue is an official fan, but does he have any military and political capabilities. Even his attribute panel is very strange, there is only one item of force value, and his occupation is directly limited to ranger!

However, Wang Yue's meritorious service in killing Qiu Liju was real, and Shang Ji couldn't pretend to turn a blind eye.

Fortunately, Wang Yue has a clear understanding of himself, knowing that he is not a material for commanding troops, and he is helpless about those government affairs. He just simply likes being an official, but he is not greedy for power. So Shang Ji took advantage of the situation and invented this Yanwu Xiaowei,

The status is high enough, and there is no need to lead troops in battle. The title of head coach sounds majestic, which perfectly fits Wang Yue's requirements.

"Pingzhou is a new beginning and a new challenge. I hope that everyone can guard against arrogance and impetuosity to move forward steadily and develop Pingzhou better!"

"Follow the lord's instruction!"

"Okay, that's it for the time being. According to the established regulations, Yang Zong will distribute the rewards to everyone!"

The so-called reward is a reward charter jointly formulated by Shang Ji, Deng Yan, Xun Yu, Liu Yi and others. According to individual contributions and positions, a series of reward plans including economic rewards are carried out for senior officials.

The amount of this reward is not cheap, the high ones are as much as tens of thousands of gold, and the low ones are several thousand gold. In addition to direct money, there are also many rewards such as advanced equipment, strange items, and medicines, so I won't list them one by one.

"Thank you, my lord, for your gift!" Everyone was overjoyed. Today is a promotion and a fortune, which is naturally exciting.

"Everyone return to their respective posts as soon as possible, don't slack off!"

"Follow my lord's instruction, I will retire!"

After a while, there were only 20 people left in the overcrowded meeting room, but these 20 people are the core backbone of the Shang army, that is to say, the next meeting is the real core meeting!

"Hong Zhu, please briefly inform everyone about the meeting regulations!" Shang Ji gestured to Deng Yan.

Deng Yan nodded, stood up and said, "Colleagues, there are two topics for today's meeting: one is the governance of Pingzhou's military administration, especially the military! Two: the development and construction of Pingzhou!"

"Before that, I would like to inform everyone of a piece of good news!"

As he said that, Deng Yan smiled slightly: "The results of Wuhuan's war have been counted! Our army has accumulated a total of 532 million gold, and there are countless cattle, sheep and horses!"

Although he knew this number a long time ago, Shang Ji still felt dizzy when he heard the terrifying number of 530 million again!

After ransacking and cleaning all the Wuhuan nobles in Liucheng, more than 150 million gold coins were obtained; and in Changli City, nearly 200 million gold coins were also confiscated.

In addition to gold coins, there are also a large number of cattle, sheep and horses, and countless basic materials!

Counting the 100 million gold coins collected by Shang Ji during the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the previous balance, Pingzhou currently has 700 million gold in its finances!

The unprecedented affluence of finances is exactly the same, so Shang Ji called this meeting ambitiously to set the tone for the next development of Liaodong!

"The good news has been announced, and now we will enter the first agenda, the military and political governance of Pingzhou!"

Deng Yan coughed lightly, drawing everyone's somewhat dazed attention.

"Except for Lelang, whose attitude is not yet clear, there are four giant cities in Pingzhou, namely Xuantu Goguryeo, Liaodong Xiangping, Liaoxi Leyang, and Liaodong vassal state Changli. There are also 22 large cities and 74 medium-sized cities. Cities, two hundred and sixty-one small cities!"

"I have already reported to the imperial court to change the Liaodong vassal state to Changli County. From now on, the name of the Liaodong vassal state will be cancelled, and the division of Pingzhou's four counties and one vassal state will become history!"

Shang Ji interrupted Deng Yan's speech and added.

"Yes, from now on there will be no Liaodong vassal state, only Changli County!" Deng Yan echoed, waving his hand to change the Liaodong vassal state on the document to Changli County.

"Four of the giant cities and twenty-two large cities have been completely controlled by us, but among the remaining 300 small and medium-sized cities, only the more than 90 cities in Liaodong County are truly controlled by us. The rest are free Outside of our core rule, this is an extremely serious hidden danger and must be dealt with as soon as possible!"

"Rotating positions, changing positions, mixing sand, wooing and dividing, crowding out and suppressing, etc., no matter what method I use, the county magistrates of all cities within the three must be our own people! Is there any problem?"

"This requires military support, and we must be prepared to suffer certain losses!" Deng Yan said frankly, looking directly at Shang Ji.

"No problem, I will assign Guo Biao to you. At the same time, Yingyi Miwu and the Tiger, Leopard, Wolfhawk and Four Generals will temporarily obey your orders. The political rectification must be completed within three months!"

"No problem, the lord's government order will be unimpeded in the land of Pingzhou in three months' time!"

"Okay, I'll wait for the good news later!"

After Deng Yan sat down, Liu Yi coughed lightly and got up, arched his hands and said, "My lord, military affairs are much more complicated than politics!"

"At present, there are mainly the following problems in the military affairs of Pingzhou!"

"One: Warlordization of the army! Various aristocratic families began to regard the national army as their own private property, trying to rely on the collusion of local forces to establish a separate regime. Although the current situation is not serious, there are already bad signs!"

"Two: The army is severely lacking in training, low in combat quality, and even has obvious shortages. The strength of generals at all levels is uneven, and they lack the necessary qualities to be a general!"

"Three: The command of the army is chaotic, and the ministries are not unified. The morale is low for a long time, and the enemy will collapse at the first touch!"

"Four: It is very unreasonable for the army to be stationed in the branch, which greatly affects the display of combat power!"

"Fifth, the army is bloated. The army with a large number but low combat effectiveness not only failed to exert the corresponding combat effectiveness, but became a financial burden!"

"The above five points are my views on Pingzhou military affairs."

"Brother, I want to know how many troops there are in Pingzhou?"

"According to the data reported by the counties, there should be a total of 6.1 million troops in Pingzhou. Among them, Lelang has 1.8 million troops; Xuantu 1 million, Liaoxi 1.4 million, Changli 600,000, and Liaodong 1. Five hundred thousand!"

After a pause, Liu Yi added: "The combat power of the county soldiers in Xuantu, Liaoxi, and Changli is extremely low, and there are still a large number of second-tier soldiers making up the numbers!"

Although Shang Ji didn't personally go to understand the situation of the county soldiers in western Liaoning and other places, but compared with the original Liaodong, he can also guess the difference. To put it simply, it's just one word - rotten!

After closing his eyes and meditating for a moment, Shang Ji suddenly said: "Zilong, Ziyi, and Junyi listen to the order!"

"The end is here!" The three said in unison.

"Ziyi went to Changli, Zilong went to Xuantu, and Junyi went to Liaoxi to lead the army and horses of the headquarters. I will give you three months to rectify the soldiers of the various counties. Any wealthy family who dares to take the country's important weapons as their own will be punished on the spot. Killing will never be tolerated! In addition, you have to verify the specific number of soldiers, as well as the detailed combat power level, evaluate the strength of the generals everywhere, I want a detailed data report!"

"The final general obeys the order!"

"Brother, I trouble you to estimate the number of troops needed in Pingzhou and the reasonable distribution of troops based on the actual situation, and at the same time formulate a suitable regulation and unify the military order!"

"yes!"
