    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1158

    After the Qinghe Army led by Chen Ziang arrived at Baima Pass in the eastern province, he ordered Wang Cheng's Fourth Field Army to take over the defense of Baima Pass from Xu Yong's subordinate.

    Xu Yong's troops withdrew from Baima Pass and stationed in a market town more than ten miles away from Baima Pass, ready to accept reorganization and training.

    When Xu Yong was sent by Chen Ziang to Jiangbei Province as an undercover agent, he was only a small officer in the undercover agent at first.

    But now he is the commander-in-chief of a party with heavy troops in his hands. There are also some debates within the Qinghe Army about how to place Xu Yong.

    Because many people don't know that Xu Yong is an undercover agent of the Qinghe Army, many people have doubts about Xu Yong's attachment, and feel that Xu Yong's troops should be abolished and reduced, and they should be broken up and reorganized as much as possible.

    What's more, people think that since Xu Yong can change his master, he is a duplicitous villain and cannot be trusted or important.

    Facing the opinions within the Qinghe Army about not trusting Xu Yong, Chen Ziang naturally would not tell them that Xu Yong was actually their undercover agent.

    Because if this news is leaked out, it will definitely lead to internal chaos among the rebels who have defected, which is not conducive to stability.

    Although there were many internal objections, Chen Ziang resisted all opinions and decided to reorganize Xu Yong's troops into a single army.

    ?After all, Xu Yong seems to be an undercover agent, but once exposed, he will face the disaster of killing himself.

    And Xu Yong is also indispensible for the Qinghe army to solve the rebel army that caused them headaches in such a short period of time.

    In addition to the credit this time, Xu Yong also provided a lot of information and assistance in previous wars.

    Chen Ziang is not someone who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges. He has already promised Xu Yong at the beginning, so naturally he will not break his promise.

    After the defense of Baimaguan was settled, Chen Ziang, the commander of the Qinghe Army, arrived at Xu Yong's barracks with only a thousand cavalry guards.

    Xu Yong now has nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses in the barracks, and Chen Ziang dared to come with more than a thousand bodyguard cavalry, which is enough to show his trust in Xu Yong.

    Because if Xu Yong has any dissent, even if these more than a thousand cavalry guards are brave and good at fighting, it is estimated that Chen Ziang's comprehensiveness will not be guaranteed.

    Seeing Chen Zi'ang personally coming to his barracks, Xu Yong was deeply moved, and at the same time, he led all the attached generals out of the gate to greet him.

    "The final general pays his respects to His Highness. I don't know that His Highness will be far away from welcoming you. Please forgive me."

    Xu Yong still has a beard, which gives people the impression that his limbs are developed and his mind is simple, but Chen Ziang knows that if Xu Yong is simple-minded, he will not step by step to the position of commander-in-chief of the rebel army.

    "I came here uninvited. I don't know if you like it or not."

    After Chen Ziang looked around at the welcoming generals, he laughed loudly to test the attitude of the generals.

    "It's a great honor for your Highness to come to our army in person. Is there any reason not to welcome you? Brothers, do you think so?" Han Tao said hastily.

    "Your Highness, please come inside."

    "Your Highness is welcome to inspect our army."

    After seeing the strength of the Qinghe Army, the generals who greeted them have long forgotten the little calculations in their hearts, so they dare not neglect, and they all agreed.

    Seeing that the attitudes of these generals were all good, Chen Ziang didn't put on airs, and accompanied by Xu Yong and others, he entered Xu Yong's barracks.

    "How many soldiers are there in the battalion now?"

    Chen Ziang did not go directly to the main camp of the Chinese army, but accompanied by Xu Yong, he patrolled the camps to check the status of the soldiers.

    "Reporting to Your Highness, our army now has more than 183,000 soldiers." Xu Yong said.

    Chen Zi'ang also sighed inwardly when he saw the soldiers in the camp with yellow and emaciated faces wrapped in tattered robes.

    Although there are quite a few people in Xu Yong's barracks, the mental state of these people is very poor, which can be said to be far from that of the Qinghe Army.

    "What are the difficulties now?"

    Chen Ziang looked around and talked with Xu Yong.

    "Your Highness, to be honest, the most lacking thing in our barracks is military rations and weapons and equipment." Xu Yong said truthfully.

    After all, Xu Yong's troops were following the rebels at the beginning, and the rebels were in a difficult situation. Naturally, they were short of clothes and food.

    Although it has now returnedAttached to the Qinghe Army, but just attached, and has not yet started to reorganize and train, and the Qinghe Army is still affiliated to two systems, and natural food and other materials are not their share.

    "This is indeed a big problem. I think it is necessary to carry out reorganization and training as soon as possible, and incorporate it into the battle order of our Qinghe Army." Chen Ziang deliberately amplified his voice.

    The generals of the rebel army actually originally thought of maintaining the organizational system, but the Qinghe Army needed to provide them with food, fodder and weapons.

    Facing the demands of the rebel generals, Chen Ziang was naturally unwilling. If so, wouldn't it be an independent small kingdom.

    So he deliberately left them out for a few days. Facing an increasingly difficult situation, seeing that the Qinghe army was popular and hot, the soldiers of the rebel army were naturally eager to reorganize as soon as possible.

    Although many generals still want to persevere, they now have to compromise in the face of increasing pressure.

    "Your Highness, I request that our department be reorganized and trained as soon as possible." Xu Yong said in front of everyone.

    "It doesn't matter what you say alone, you have to ask everyone's opinion." Chen Ziang turned his attention to the rest of the rebel generals.

    "Your Highness, we have joined the Qinghe Army, and we hope to change our flag as soon as possible."

    "Your Highness, we also hope to fight under the banner of the Qinghe Army and do our bit for Your Highness."

    These generals originally wanted to lead their troops to fight for their own interests, but Chen Ziang deliberately delayed. Now they are facing the huge pressure of food and fodder shortage, and now they can only bow their heads.

    "Since all the generals want to adapt it as soon as possible, then I have no choice but to be respectful rather than obedient. Let's discuss a plan." Chen Ziang said after hesitating for a few seconds.

    Seeing that Chen Ziang was willing to start reorganizing them, the generals of the rebel army were also relieved. If the Qinghe army just ignored them, they would probably have to become kings of the mountain again.

    However, the Qinghe army was heavily stationed on the side, even if they had this idea, they would not have the courage.

    But if they don't become kings of the mountain, the Qinghe army will not reorganize, but they can only starve. Facing the methods of the Qinghe army, they can only surrender.

    Soon, facing the difficult situation, the generals of the rebel army quickly reached an agreement with Chen Ziang on the reorganization plan.

    Chen Ziang's request is very simple, that is, to disband and downsize the existing army, dismiss the old, weak, sick and disabled, and at the same time revoke the original organizational systems at all levels, and reorganize them into five infantry banner regiments.

    Of course, after all, this army was brought out by Xu Yong. A considerable part of the middle-level officers are from the Qinghe Army. Although they have been away from the headquarters for a long time, the blood of the Qinghe Army still flows in their bones.

    During the reorganization, Chen Ziang did not transfer people from other legions, but directly asked them to compete for various positions from them. Those who did not compete could go to Zhanzheng College for further studies, and they could also get a large amount of pensions back.  Township.

    The Qinghe army did not kill donkeys, but also gave them a great choice. Therefore, those generals who originally wanted to occupy the position were also divided. Some stayed in the post, some went to study, and some were tired of the war.  The people took the pension and went home.

    However, the Qinghe Army already had a wealth of experience in reorganizing into an organized army, so the drastic reorganization was completed in just one week.

    More than 80,000 soldiers were demobilized. Many of them were forced to serve as soldiers and wanted to go home for a long time. Now that they can get a pension and return home alive, they are naturally happy.

    The newly reorganized Xu Yong's headquarters is the Eighth Field Army of the Qinghe Army. Xu Yong serves as the commander of the army, Han Tao serves as the deputy commander of the army, and Zhu Yimao and other former middle-level generals have been promoted to banner-level officers.

    After completing the reorganization of the Field Eighth Army, a steady stream of weapons and equipment, military uniforms, food fodder, etc. were continuously sent to the barracks.

    Facing brand-new weapons and equipment and piles of food and fodder, the soldiers of the Eighth Army who had eaten their fill immediately felt a sense of belonging to the Qinghe Army.

    After all, I couldn¡¯t get enough to eat in the past, but now not only the shotgun has been changed, but also the whole body is completely new, and the belly that can be eaten every meal is rounded, and I am naturally satisfied.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
