"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 143
"Quick, be quick with your hands and feet, and wash away the blood here!"
The city of Qingyang Mansion was busy, and the residents in the city picked up brooms one after another, carrying buckets to wash away the blood stains after the battle.
"Hang the banner higher, yes, higher."
The Qinghe Army is about to hold the succession ceremony of the new commander-in-chief, and the city that has just cleared the smoke is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and there is a festive atmosphere.
After a lot of games in the undercurrent of the Qinghe Army, Chen Ru won the support of most people, and his succession as the new commander-in-chief has become a certainty.
Every internal reshuffle is accompanied by new opportunities. For Chen Ziang and others, they can make great strides forward and gain higher status and power.
For those generals who have lost their backing, they are either depressed by drinking to relieve their worries, or they are actively running around and investing in the newly rising upstarts.
Chen Ru's official succession ceremony has not yet begun, but Chen Zi'ang and others have already received explicit or implicit promises that they will also become the new leaders of the Qinghe Army.
When Marshal Zhang Dayuan presided over the Qinghe Army, although Chen Ziang and others made great achievements in battle, they could only rank second in the face of a large group of older generals of the rebel army.
After all, these older generals were the first to pull the banner of the uprising, and they were also loyal supporters of Marshal Zhang Dayuan.
Zhang Dayuan naturally wants to protect these veteran generals everywhere in order to stabilize his position of power.
The consequences of this are also obvious. Although the veteran generals are the veterans of the uprising, they can command tens of hundreds of people, but they are not capable of commanding tens of thousands of soldiers.
However, in the uprising army based on seniority, even though these veteran generals were incapable of taking on important tasks, the former commander Zhang Dayuan did not want to be given the excuse of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, so he could only maintain the status quo.
Due to the fact that a large number of veteran generals occupy a large number of positions in the middle and upper levels, the newly rising generals can only rely on others and have no way to be promoted.
However, following the battle in the provincial capital, a large number of veteran generals and Marshal Zhang Dayuan were slaughtered by the Black Cavalry Army, leaving a vacuum in the middle and upper ranks of the Qinghe Army.
It is precisely because of this that when Chen Ru is considering the formation of a new Qinghe Army Command, he is going to vigorously promote young generals who are energetic and have made great achievements in battle.
After all, in Chen Ru's view, these capable young generals are the future of the Qinghe Army, and only they can lead the troops to victory.
Although the Qinghe Army previously numbered nearly 200,000, there were many factions in the army, military accomplishments were uneven, and their combat effectiveness was weak.
Chen Ru wanted to build a brand new Qinghe Army, so he not only planned to promote a large number of young generals, but also planned to carry out drastic internal reforms.
Such behavior can not only integrate the fighting power of the Qinghe Army, but also eliminate the influence of the predecessor and improve one's prestige in the army.
?In Chen Ru's temporary commander-in-chief's mansion, not only was the security heavily guarded, but also the red lanterns were hung high.
"Father, does this suit fit?"
Chen Xiaoyu, the handsome daughter, was also busy, bringing a few tailors and embroiderers to make new handsome clothes for Chen Ru.
Chen Ru was wearing a well-fitting boa robe, and when he saw himself in the bronze mirror with a flushed face, he seemed to be twenty years younger.
"Yu'er, let's just use this dress, just cut the cuffs a little bit shorter."
People are refreshed on happy occasions, and Chen Ru is about to become the commander-in-chief of the Qinghe Army, and he is in a very comfortable mood.
"Father, you change it first, and I'll have someone change the cuffs right away."
Chen Xiaoyu asked Chen Ru to change out of the python robe, and ordered the tailor who was standing aside with his hands folded to modify it.
"Yu'er, Dad is going to be a commander-in-chief soon. I can give you any official you want."
?Seeing Chen Xiaoyu who was so busy, Chen Ru also had a look of doting on his face. After all, the Qinghe army will be named Chen in the future, and he also wants to use the power of the commander-in-chief.
Chen Xiaoyu hugged Chen Ru's arm, said with a smile, "Hey, I don't want anything, I just want to be with daddy for the rest of my life."
"You girl, you're not too young anymore, how can you follow your father all the time, and don't want to marry?" Chen Ru joked with a smile.
Chen Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue playfully, and said coquettishly, "I'm not getting married."
"If youDoesn't she become an old girl when she gets married? If your mother knows about it, she will scold me to death. "
Chen Ru turned around, looked at Chen Xiaoyu and said with a smile, "What do you think of Zi Ang? He is brave and resourceful, and he can be regarded as a rare young hero in our Qinghe army. How about I match you up?"
After hearing this, Chen Xiaoyu's pretty face blushed, shaking Chen Ru's arm, and couldn't help but start acting like a baby.
"Father¡ª¡ª"
"Why, don't you like Zi Ang? Then let me think about it again. Look at that Xu"
"Bad father, I ignore you."
Chen Xiaoyu saw Chen Ru's intransigence on this issue, she immediately let go of her arms, pursed her mouth and ran towards the door angrily.
"This girl has the same temperament as her mother"
When Chen Ru saw Chen Xiaoyu who was fleeing towards the door, Chen Ru shook his head with a smile.
Just as Chen Xiaoyu stepped out of the door with her head buried, she bumped her head into a gentle embrace. She groaned and almost fell to the ground.
"I said Miss Chen, what's going on today, what's going on."
Chen Ziang pulled up Chen Xiaoyu, who was about to fall, and couldn't help teasing.
Feeling Chen Ziang's tough breath at close range, Chen Xiaoyu's cheeks were hot, and her heart was like a deer bumping wildly, and she quickly got rid of Chen Ziang's hand.
After Chen Xiaoyu blushed and glanced at Chen Ziang, she didn't speak, and ran away with her head down.
"Master Wu, is she all right?"
In the past, when I saw myself, Chen Xiaoyu always greeted me proactively, but now it was so abnormal, Chen Ziang was also confused.
Staff Wu Yanqing also shrugged, and guessed: "Maybe Chen Shuai is going to be the commander in chief soon, miss is so happy."
"oh."
Chen Ziang felt the same, and quickly put this episode behind him, stepped into the room with Wu Yanqing, and met Chen Ru.
"Marshal, this is the list of generals conferred this time, please have a look."
After the ceremony, Wu Yanqing, the staff member, said, and handed Chen Ru a draft list of titles.
According to Chen Ru's meaning, most of the generals on the list are generals of Chen Ru's lineage, and they are also generals with great military exploits.
He is about to become a commander-in-chief. In order to stabilize his position, he will naturally promote a group of his own people, which is also the meaning of the question.
After all, these people followed Chen Ru through life and death. If he became a commander in chief and didn't promote some people, many people's hearts would be chilled.
"Xu Jiang is crossed out. He has no virtue and no talent. If he becomes General Huben, those meritorious brothers will not accept it."
After hearing this, Wu Yanqing explained: "Commander, this Xu Jiang is the son of Deputy Commander Xu after all, and Deputy Commander Xu is still quite influential in the army. If Xu Jiang is crossed out, I'm afraid ¡±
In Wu Yanqing's view, what the Qinghe Army needs now is stability and unity, so it is also a comfort to ask the former commander and deputy commander to give them a certain high position.
But Chen Ru doesn't think so. He now needs to establish his own rules and eliminate the influence of his predecessor. If Xu Jiang and others are allowed to continue to hold high positions, wouldn't they be setting obstacles for themselves.
"Well, let Xu Jiang be the senior staff member of the command."
After Chen Ru thought about it, he also felt that Wu Yanqing's words made sense. If he crossed them out directly, it would be too conspicuous.
However, Xu Jiang could not be allowed to be in charge of the army, so he decided to directly prepare for a vain position as a senior staff member.
"Zi Ang, tomorrow the guards in the city will be entrusted to you, and there must be no mistakes."
