    When Zhang Chen, the left general of the Black Cavalry Army, led 10,000 light cavalry and headed straight for the provincial capital, the Qinghe Army was dividing troops to attack the surrounding areas of the provincial capital.

    The provincial capitals with high walls and thick walls were all captured by the Qinghe army. When the prefectures and counties in the surrounding areas saw the Qinghe army attacking them, they naturally did not dare to hit the stone with their eggs.

    With the power of breaking through the capital, the Qinghe army swept across the province, and most of the seventy-eight counties in the five prefectures fell into the hands of the Qinghe army.

    Chen Ziang's 9th Battalion participated in the attack on the capital, so they did not participate in the military operations to attack the surrounding areas.

    The 9th Battalion has been fighting and killing since its formation, and has no time to clean up the interior.

    Taking advantage of this violation of military discipline, Chen Zi'ang instructed the deputy battalion in charge of military law to cut off dozens of heads of Li Lang to make an example of others.

    Facing such a severe punishment, the 9th Battalion was immediately ordered from top to bottom, and the military discipline was abolished.

    Because Li Lang, the deputy battalion general, was born as a descendant of the Dynasty Army, he has never had much prestige and status in the 9th Battalion.

    But this time, his deputy battalion general in charge of military law personally supervised the beheading, showing iron-blooded and ruthless means, which made everyone look at him again, and there was a trace of awe in his eyes.

    The status of those gendarmes wearing red armbands has also risen rapidly, and they have become objects of awe by ordinary soldiers.

    Now whether it is an officer or a soldier, as long as they see a military police wearing a red armband, they will stay away with respect.

    Chen Ziang is very satisfied with the current state, because he needs every officer and soldier to be in awe.

    What Chen Ziang needed was not only a tiger and wolf division, but also wanted to build them into a disciplined army.

    Although the entire Qinghe Army is now developing in the direction of regularization, there are still good and bad internally, and the military discipline is relatively loose.

    Such an army can fight smoothly, but once it encounters a powerful enemy, loose military discipline is the most fatal weakness, because it cannot be ordered and prohibited, and it is very likely to suffer a disastrous defeat.

    While rectifying the military discipline of the 9th Battalion, Chen Ziang also suggested to Deputy Marshal Chen Ru that a military police force be established in the Qinghe Army to maintain military discipline.

    "Now the Qinghe Army is deeply intertwined, with various forces and forces. It is too hasty to form a military disciplined army, and it needs to be planned slowly."

    Facing Chen Ziang's suggestion, although the deputy commander Chen Ru thought it was a good suggestion, he did not adopt it because he felt that the timing was inappropriate.

    Now their Qinghe army is growing rapidly. Although he is the deputy commander, he still needs to make friends with heroes, otherwise his position as deputy commander will be unstable.

    But these heroes are all unrestrained people. If he really proposed to form a disciplined army, he would offend many people.

    At that time, these people will all fall under the banner of the commander-in-chief Zhang Dayuan and the deputy commander-in-chief Xu Fu. I am afraid that he, the deputy commander-in-chief, will come to an end.

    Therefore, although Chen Ru realized that there was a problem within the Qinghe Army, he had to temporarily shelve this matter out of stability and his own interests.

    Chen Ziang also understood Chen Ru's difficulties, so he only asked the 9th Battalion to act in accordance with the military regulations and disciplines he formulated, trying to create a benchmark and model, which would be convenient for the entire army to implement in the future.

    Although it is said that compassion does not command soldiers, if the soldiers are always required to tighten a string, things will happen if the string is too tight.

    In line with the principle of adding sweet dates to the big stick, Chen Ziang not only strictly enforced the military regulations and discipline of the 9th Battalion, but also greatly improved the treatment of the 9th Battalion.

    Chen Ziang divided the soldiers in the 9th Battalion into two parts, the heavy soldiers and the combat soldiers, and the treatment was also different.

    All those old and weak women and children were organized into the sequence of heavy soldiers. The task of these heavy soldiers was to be responsible for burning fires, cooking food and barracks, and guarding the captured cattle and sheep and other spoils of war.

    Chen Zi'ang promoted Yang Zhong from general of thousands of soldiers to deputy general of the battalion, and took charge of the logistics troops, which was equivalent to becoming the logistics chief of their 9th battalion.

    They now have about 3,000 old and weak women and children. They have been reorganized into three teams of 1,000 people, each performing their duties and exerting their own strength. Each person can receive 500 copper coins a month.

    Through recruiting prisoners of war and recruiting young and strong refugees, their number of soldiers reached more than 4,500, and Chen Ziang reorganized them into four teams of 1,000 soldiers.

    The mission of these thousands of soldiers is mainly combat and training, and nothing else has anything to do with them.

    Because they were going to charge forward and fight against the enemy, Chen Ziang treated them like ordinary soldiers.?Up to five silver coins per month, and officers increase in rank.

    When other units of the Qinghe Army were still eating from the big pot, Chen Ziang had already implemented the military salary system and the pension and support system in their 9th Battalion.

    The benefits of implementing the military salary system and the pension and support system are also obvious, that is, to ensure that every soldier and his family have the most basic living security, so that they can devote themselves to combat and training, and solve their worries.

    Because their Qinghe Army uprising army is not a pure military organization, but participates in the family as a unit, and their 9th Battalion has many family members of soldiers accompanying the army.

    Once a soldier is killed in battle, their family will lose their source of livelihood and cannot survive, which makes many soldiers have concerns when fighting.

    Military pay can ensure that soldiers can guarantee the needs of their families when there is no war, and pensions and support can ensure that their families can still live well after they die in battle.

    The implementation of these two systems not only won the unanimous support of all soldiers, but also greatly enhanced the cohesion of their 9th Battalion.

    "My lord, 30,000 gold coins have already been spent on the death benefits and rewards issued this time. In addition to your requirement of at least one meal of meat per day, if we don't think about it, we will have to drink Northwest Wind in the remaining months."

    When Chen Ziang raised the salaries of the soldiers of the 9th Battalion on a large scale, Yang Zhong, the deputy battalion general in charge of military supply and logistics, was frowning, as if someone owed him a lot of money.

    "Didn't we seize a lot of money in Guiyi Mansion? Why did it disappear so quickly?"

    When Yang Zhong complained to him with the account book, Chen Ziang was also quite astonished, he did not expect to spend money so quickly.

    "My lord, the accounts are all clear and clear, and I am not greedy for a single copper coin." Deputy Battalion General Yang Zhong said with a full face of grievance.

    Chen Ziang dubiously took the ledger and looked through it carefully, and finally couldn't help but sigh.

    ?It¡¯s really incompetent who doesn¡¯t know that Chai Migui is expensive. He originally thought that the captured money could last for a while, but he didn¡¯t think that it would be difficult to make money, but spending money was like running water, and the money was gone.

    "My lord, do you want to reduce the monthly military pay? If it is reduced, we can survive for a while longer."

    Seeing the frowning Chen Ziang, Yang Zhong couldn't help but suggest that he felt that the monthly military support was too high.

    "No, brothers with their heads pinned to their waistbands, living a life of licking blood, we can't treat them badly." Chen Zi'ang immediately rejected Yang Zhong's suggestion.

    "But"

    "Well, you go back first, I will find a way, and I will give you an answer tomorrow."

    Chen Zi'ang was also distraught when he saw the frowning Yang Zhong. He suddenly felt that this family was not easy to manage.

    "No."

    Yang Zhong hesitated to speak, but finally paid a military salute, took his leave and left.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
