"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 277
The troops led by Li Lang wiped out the 7,000 soldiers and horses gathered by the admiral of Lujiang Mansion without any effort, and even the admiral himself became a ghost under the sword.
After cleaning the battlefield, Li Lang immediately turned around and rushed to Tianfeng Village, joining Chen Ziang and the others.
"You have won a big victory, and you played well! You have made a great contribution, and you should be rewarded heavily."
Chen Ziang did not expect that Li Lang and the others would act so swiftly and wiped out the 7,000 soldiers and horses in the Lujiang Mansion so quickly, and he also greatly appreciated Li Lang.
"General, this great victory is due to the bravery of the brothers who killed the enemy. If the general wants to reward, please reward the brothers."
Facing Chen Ziang's praise, Li Lang also acted very modestly, without any arrogance or complacency.
Li Lang was also a prisoner of war at the beginning, so he has always been cautious in the Qinghe Army, and Chen Ziang has long been used to it.
"You have made a contribution, so there is no reason not to reward it. Well, from today on, you will be the deputy commander of the Second Army." Chen Ziang looked at Li Lang and announced with a smile.
"ah?"
Li Lang didn't expect that Chen Zi'ang would promote him to be the commander of the Second Army in public. Instead of being happy at all, he felt uneasy.
Could it be that Chen Ziang didn't trust him, and wanted to deprive him of his military power through this method of ascending and descending.
"Why, don't you want to?" Chen Zi'ang saw that Li Lang was stunned and did not speak, and asked with a smile.
"No no, general, I just won a battle. I feel worthy of being appointed as the deputy commander of the Second Army." Li Lang explained hastily.
"You have good combat command. I don't think anyone can be promoted to the position of deputy army commander except you. Don't refuse."
Seeing Li Lang's fearful expression, Chen Ziang also smiled and said: "You are the deputy commander of the army, and you can also share many things for me, so that I can also be lazy."
Chen Ziang and the others reorganized the Second Army Headquarters in Pingshun Town, and set up the First and Ninth Banner Regiments.
But this legion department has always been an empty shelf, except for some staff members, only Chen Ziang is alone.
When he was not around, this legion headquarters became a decoration, because the two banner regiments below only recognized Chen Ziang, but not others.
The first and ninth banner regiments belong to the same level. If there is no unified dispatch by the legion department, there will be problems in the cooperation and connection of the two banner regiments.
Chen Ziang is now the commander of the Second Army, not only responsible for local affairs, but also military affairs, wishing to divide himself into several people for use.
Li Lang has the experience of leading troops alone in combat, and has led the troops to many victories, and he also has prestige in the army.
Therefore, Chen Ziang also wanted to take this opportunity to promote Li Lang to the position of deputy army commander, and share some things for himself.
Now civil and military associations have been established in the army, and members of the civil and military associations have penetrated into every ten-man team.
Based on these loyal civil and military associations, Chen Ziang's control over the army has been further strengthened, so he dared to promote Li Lang with confidence.
After all, he is just one person. The army is growing constantly, and there will be more and more things in the future. He has to decentralize power appropriately and train excellent commanders. Only in this way can they develop in the long run.
Because it is difficult to support alone, if they have more excellent generals to assist them, their army will become stronger.
Li Lang originally wanted to refuse, but Chen Ziang pointed to Zhou Ba, the deputy head of the First Banner Regiment who was standing aside.
He smiled and said: "If you don't become the deputy head of the army and occupy the position of head of the banner, Zhou Ba will always be the deputy head of the banner. Doesn't he hate you?"
After hearing Chen Ziang's ridicule, Zhou Ba also hurriedly stood up and said: "The last general dare not."
"I'm just kidding, why do you take it seriously?"
But soon Chen Ziang changed the subject and said: "Our Qinghe Army is to establish a system, that is, to be able to go up and down, to be promoted and rewarded for meritorious service, and to be demoted and punished for mistakes. Only in this way can we form A virtuous circle."
"Zhou Ba, from today onwards, I will appoint you as the head of the First Banner Regiment."
? After Chen Ziang promoted Li Lang to the deputy head of the Second Army, he announced that Zhou Ba would be promoted from the deputy head of the Banner to the First Banner.Head of the regiment, taking over from Li Lang.
Zhou Ba didn't expect that he would also be exposed, and he was very happy, and hurriedly cupped his hands to express his thanks.
"Thank you General for your cultivation, I will definitely go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate!" Zhou Ba said loudly.
"Don't thank me first, Li Lang led the First Banner Regiment impressively, and even won the battle. If you can't lead the team well, I will still beat you up."
"Hey, general, don't worry, I will definitely call out the first flag regiment!" Zhou Ba stood up and promised.
"You have issued a military order, I will write it down." Chen Ziang also said with a smile.
"By the way, report to me the list of meritorious brothers of your First Banner Regiment this time. Those who should be rewarded, promoted, and punished should follow the rules."
"No!"
Zhou Ba, who had just been promoted, hurriedly agreed.
Li Lang and the others won the battle. Chen Ziang promoted Li Lang to the deputy commander of the army, Zhou Ba also became the commander of the banner, Tian Changjie, the first banner battalion commander, was promoted to the deputy banner commander, and also served as the first banner battalion commander. It can be said that everyone is happy.
However, the Ninth Banner Regiment did not have such good luck. The head of the Banner, Fatty Lu, underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, resulting in the loss of nearly a thousand elite cavalry, and Chen Ziang was directly demoted to be the commander of the Banner Battalion.
Yuan Jie, the former staff member of the Legion Department, because of his outstanding performance, led his troops to rescue effectively, and wiped out nearly 20,000 enemies at the same time, so it is also a compliment to let him serve as the head of the Ninth Banner.
Although the Ninth Banner Regiment suffered a defeat, they were brave and fearless in the battle, annihilating a large group of bandits, which can be regarded as saving some face.
Especially the thousand cavalry brothers who followed Fatty Lu and fell into a tight siege, they would rather die than surrender, and there were less than a hundred people left in the bloody battle, which can be said to be quite heroic.
Although Chen Zi'ang was dismissed as the commander of the Ninth Banner, he still rewarded these cavalry brothers for their bravery.
Guo Wei, a hundred-man general, is also among the survivors. He is one of the three surviving officers. At the critical moment, he was firm-willed and led his troops to guard the army flag, which is considered a meritorious service.
Therefore, Chen Ziang not only promoted Guo Wei, a son of a noble family, to the rank of Thousand Generals, but after learning that Guo Wei's application to join the Civil and Military Association was rejected several times, he personally approved Guo Wei's entry into the Civil and Military Association. Guo Wei was also moved and knew that his hard work was worth it .
Chen Ziang promoted a group of people before the battle, which undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of the troops, because they knew that as long as they fought the enemy bravely, Chen Ziang would not treat them badly.
The bandits in Tianfeng Village were cut off by Chen Ziang and the others, and now they saw a large number of reinforcements arriving, and they were also panicked.
Especially when the head of the admiral of the Lujiang Mansion was sent up the mountain, the head of the Cyclops fell into despair.
The bandit led by Cyclops tried to rush down the mountain to break through, but faced with the fighting spirit of the Qinghe Army, he was pushed back again.
In the end, the head of Cyclops saw no hope of breaking through, so he could only cruelly prepare to abandon his followers, and wanted to escape with a rope from the back mountain and cliff by himself.
The guards standing guard here were all coerced by the bandits to go up the mountain, and their family members were killed, their property was also taken away, and they couldn't help themselves, so they had to work for the bandits.
They saw the one-eyed dragon alone on the cliff of the back mountain. One of them, Liu Changshan, did not stop doing anything. Together with a few people from the same village, he killed the one-eyed dragon, and then sent his head to Chen Ziang's camp. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
