Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang and other dozens of people stayed in Nanjing whispered in a circle, mostly talking about what position they would have in Nanjing and how His Highness the King of Han treated them.
Tang Liang, the commander of the Left 15th Army, and Ye Lian, the commander of the Former 13th Army, were both new supporters who surrendered to the Northern Expedition Army when they passed by Shaanxi. They consciously stood in a circle and separated them from Li Kaifang, Lin Fengxiang and others for a distance.
Tang Liang asked in a low voice: "Sir Ye Jun, has Prime Minister Lin and Prime Minister Li offended His Highness the King of Han? Why did they look so good when they said goodbye to Prime Minister Ji just now, as if they had lost several times, and their faces looked like they had lost their battles?"
Because Ye Lian joined the Taiping Army a month earlier than Tang Liang, she had been acting like a senior in front of Tang Liang, and scolded, "Shut up, are these things you should ask?" Seeing that many people were quiet, they pricked up their ears to listen, and finally couldn't get rid of the gossip of women. She looked at Li Kaifang in a dodge. Seeing that no one noticed, she whispered: "I heard that Prime Minister Li and the others had betrayed the King of Han, so they didn't dare to stay in Nanjing!" After saying that, she regretted it and added, "You can't spread it out, so as not to harm them."
The few of them nodded cautiously, but the only ones, the teacher Ning Zongyang and Shi Shaohuan, had strange looks and walked to the other side without hesitation.
Li Yunzhong saw this situation as soon as he came in, and he tacitly understood. He had a little understanding of the Northern Expedition Army and had already planned to win over these grassroots officers.
"Meet the King of Han" everyone is a group of two factions according to their official positions.
Since it has been decided that Ming Yue will set off for Shanghai, Li Yunzhong has no time to talk to them, and said in a tone of resistance: "There are 8,256 soldiers who stayed in Nanjing, and I plan to organize them into two armies..."
Hearing that he was only organized into two armies, Li Kaifang couldn't help but interrupt: "Your Highness, our Northern Expedition Army has the first army, the second army of the right army, the thirteenth army, the fifteenth army of the left army, the tenth army of the back, how can we only organize into two armies?"
Seeing Li Kaifang taking the lead in complaining, many prosecutors and commanders were afraid that they would be demoted to serve as the commander and the commander of the brigade, and they objected in a verbal manner.
"Two armies? Isn't there only a thousand men? How can this be done?"
"How can I hold the position of the commander of the army?" There were several prime ministers here, and he thought that the commander of the army was not his turn.
…………
Seeing that the voice became louder and louder, Li Yunzhong looked like I was very angry. Sure enough, he calmed down and lowered his head uneasy, "How many people are there in your army?"
Lin Fengxiang replied with a tough forehead: "There are thousands to hundreds of people in the first army, such as the first army and the second army in the right, each with more than 1,500 people. Because the 13th army is full of cavalry, there are only 5,600 people in the other army."
Li Yunzhong sarcastically said: "I discussed with Southern King Feng Yunshan that year. The first army had a fifth division and a 25th brigade. The soldiers were 125 and the two Simas were 500. In this way, each army should have at least 20,000 people. I didn't expect you... to eat empty salary and eat like this!"
Lin Fengxiang was embarrassed and explained: "Because there were too many people rewarded when he set up the capital in Tianjing, and there were thousands of people above the division commander, so each army had to reduce the number of people..."
The newly-affiliated people later heard that there were thousands of officials of the same level as them in Tianjin, and were disappointed. Many of them had decided to stay in Nanjing. Sichuan was poor and had no status after leaving. It was better to stay in Nanjing, a prosperous place.
Li Yunzhong said proudly: "Our Han governs several provinces, and only has eight armies, including female army and navy army. In other words, there are only six armies that formally fight. One of your army is not as good as the ones in our regiment."
Ye Lian blinked her big eyes and asked, "Your Highness, how many people do you have in your group?"
Li Yunzhong replied with a smile: "In the past, two thousand people were required to be a regiment, but in recent years, the generals below have expanded privately. Now there are probably four or five thousand people, one division has more than 10,000 people, and one army has 20,000 to 30,000 people. In this way, I want to add about 10,000 people to you to meet the minimum standards of our military system."
Huang Yiyun couldn't help but exclaimed: "Twenty or thirty thousand people are one army! This... so many people! It's better than the men in the King's Hall of our Heaven!"
The soldiers and horses of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were all classified as commanders of each king, and the feudal system was implemented. The Eastern King, the Western King, the Southern King, the Northern King, and the Wing King not only had legal private soldiers, but also had fiefs.
Li Yunzhong continued: "The numbers of these two armies are the Sixth Army and the Eighth Army. Each army has two divisions and the 12th battalion. Each battalion has a fifth company, with about 100 people in each company."
Li Kaifang hesitated. He had already decided on this number. Wouldn't he become the private army of the King of Han? How should he explain to the King of Heaven when he returns to Tianjing a year later, and whispered: "Your Highness, this is not right. These holy soldiers are all soldiers who are now in the Kingdom of Heaven. They rashly give up their existing number. This... Isn't this betrayal of the Kingdom of Heaven! They will go to Avici Hell after their death."
When Li Yunzhong saw Li Kaifang reveal the mystery in his words, he suppressed his aura first and criticized him by changing the topic: "What is Avici Hell? You can tell at a glance that you have never read the Bible, you don't know God, Jesus! God lives in heaven, and hell is the hell of the West... In short, you are wrong. You are a false believer and will not ascend to heaven after death!"
Isn't this a nonsense? Li Kaifang winked at Zhu Xikun, hoping that he would come out to oppose it. As long as their generals of the Northern Expedition Army unite, the King of Han would have no choice but to do anything to them.
When Zhu Xikun saw Li Kaifang blinking at him desperately, he didn't dare to make a head-on bird, pretending to be invisible, and continued to bow his head and count the ants.
Li Kaifang was anxious and looked at Huang Yiyun again, and nodded towards the King of Han. Huang Yiyun also kept looking up at the beam of the roof, not daring to object.
"Brother Li, what's wrong with your head? You always sway from side to side. Do you want me to find a doctor for you?" Li Yunzhong felt quite funny when he saw Li Kaifang's anxious look.
Li Kaifang smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm a young man, just go ahead and take a walk! Your Highness is not going to worry about it."
Seeing Li Kaifang defeated, Lin Fengxiang stepped forward and advised, "Your Highness thinks twice, if you forcefully annex our Northern Expedition Army, you just want to... want to force us to death. The laws of the Kingdom of Heaven: Those who lose their troops will be killed. He said that we will return to Tianjing alone, and it will be a dead end."
When Li Yunzhong heard that there was a door, he promised: "If you are willing to return to Tianjing in a year, I will never stop you. Prepare weapons, food and grass for you, and go wherever you want."
Li Kaifang and Lin Fengxiang looked at each other and nodded. The person was under the eaves and had to bow his head. Just as he was the one who gave the favor of the King of Han's retention.
Li Yunzhong waited for a moment, but no one objected again, and continued, "Now I will announce the personnel appointment. You must be prepared carefully. The Sixth Army and the Eighth Army will complete the reorganization tomorrow and head to Jiangnan. Those who merge with you into an army are some of the brothers of the Tiandihui."
Lin Fengxiang frowned, wanting to speak but stopping. Influenced by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom style, he looked down on the members of the Communist Party from the bottom of his heart. The military discipline was dispersed, burning, killing, looting, and recurring. He revolted today and came to Qing Dynasty tomorrow.
Li Yunzhong came up with a plan that had been prepared long ago and read out: "The commander of the Sixth Army is Lin Fengxiang, with the 11th and 12th divisions under its jurisdiction, the commander of the 11th division is Liu Lichuan, and Huang Yiyun is the commander of the 12th division and deputy commander. The 11th division is under its jurisdiction. The commander of the regiment is appointed by the Ministry of War.
The commander of the Eighth Army was Li Kaifang, Zhu Xikun was also the chief of staff, with the 15th Division and the 16th Division under his jurisdiction. Tang Liang was appointed as the commander of the 15th Division and Ye Lian was appointed as the commander of the 16th Division."
Ye Lian mustered up the courage to ask, "The teacher can command ten thousand people! What a great official?"
Li Yunzhong briefly introduced the rank of the Han Dynasty: "The army commander is the third rank, the deputy army commander, the chief of staff is the third rank, the division commander is the fourth rank, the regiment commander is the fifth rank, and the battalion commander is the sixth rank..."
