Zuo Houde still looked at his golden finger, but there was almost no change. However, his fortune value increased a lot due to Zuo Houde's reputation and his title of General Pingdong.
Of course there is another surprise, that is, the talent "reincarnation" can be used, of course Zuo Houde does not intend to use it, but he is still young and cannot make any mistakes.
Moreover, his luck value is so low, Zuo Houde wants to get more luck value.
After that, it was the issue of seizing power. Of course, seizing power is not a rebellion. Nowadays, Dayan looks peaceful and peaceful, and there is no basis for rebellion at all. Zuo Houde is not stupid.
From this point of view, judging by the power controlled by the generals in each army, it is very simple to centralize power. Many senior generals in Dayan have a strong sense of power and are the only ones in the army.
It sounds incredible, and I feel that the emperor cannot tolerate it. No! In fact, as long as the emperor controls the logistics of the army, he will not even be able to rebel. In addition, our Emperor of Dayan, three generations have started from the army and are not afraid at all.
The most important point is that there is no basis for rebellion at this time, and Hong Zaixing is not even worried.
Of course, Zuo Houde didn't want to be like those generals in the army. Their actions seemed too rough to Zuo Houde, and even there was only one voice in the army, but so what? Is the emperor really not afraid at all, it's impossible?
Even though the emperor has great prestige in the army and controls logistics, the experience of his previous life tells Zuo Houde that every emperor has the idea of "there are always unlucky people who want to harm me."
So in Zuo Houde's opinion, the first thing he wants to centralize power in the army is to be self-deprecating, which will make the emperor feel vigilant against you.
So the first thing Zuo Houde had to do was to summon his own troops in the army. Before, Zuo Houde had 100 troops, many of them died in wars, and dozens of them were still there. But now Zuo Houde can be expanded to 300. These 300 troops are Zuo Houde's private army and family generals, and are of great use to Zuo Houde, so he must go to the army to choose well.
Because Zuo Houde is already the highest commander of Dingcheng Army, he does not need to report to anyone, just a notice was hung on the most conspicuous gate of the military camp.
In just one morning, thousands of people came to the school grounds and asked Zuo Houde to choose. Zuo Houde let his troops record the age, origin, official position and his introduction to him, and then disbanded them.
Zuo Houde's idea this time is different from last time. Before, Zuo Houde looked for a team to play a role as a personal guard on the battlefield, so Zuo Houde chose a strong soldier last time. In fact, many generals also had Zuo Houde's idea, so their team often became their own personal guard.
But now Zuo Houde has different ideas. He is planning to completely turn his troops into his own private army and not treat them as his personal guard, so Zuo Houde's requirements for this troops are different.
"Zhang Long, select people over thirty." Zuo Houde ordered his leader.
Although Zhang Long didn't understand, as Zuo Houde's family member, he would not talk too much.
Zhang Long started to choose, but after the selection, there were only more than 2,000 people.
Zuo Houde thought about it and ordered: "Pick out the origin of Dingcheng, and finally arrange it for me according to the military rank."
Soon, Zhang Long selected all of them, but there were still more than a thousand people. This is normal. The defenders on the frontier are often children of the frontier.
Dingcheng is a fortress in the north and south, and it is also the border of Yan State, so most of the defenders here are from Dingcheng.
Zuo Houde began to look at the resumes of a thousand people. In fact, the reason why Zuo Houde chose the organization like this is very simple. He was willing to be someone else's family general at the age of 30, and decided that he would not be a person in the army who was not valued. Only such a person could be able to win their hearts. If he was loyal to Hong Zaixing, Zuo Houde would not dare to accept it.
Secondly, most of them are over thirty years old and have started their own families and careers. With their hometown in Dingcheng, these people are simply the best ears and ears of Zuo Houde, allowing Zuo Houde to know the movements of Dingcheng.
Of course, being over thirty years old is mature enough to understand the relationship between interests. Such a person will not be bad if he stays by his side.
Soon, Zuo Houde read the introduction of more than a thousand people. Zuo Houde deleted some inappropriate ones from it and asked them to come to the military camp for an interview.
This takes a long time, about five or six days, but Zuo Houde thinks it is very suitable, after all, it is worth it.
...
"Your name is Yao Ping? Since you are Sima, why are you willing to come to me to do a division?" This is the person who is willing to be the highest military rank in the division. Zuo Houde looked at him curiously.
"There are thirty-seven years of low position this year, and it is difficult to get promoted again. The general is young and promising, so Yao Ping volunteers to serve!" Yao Ping looked at Zuo Houde with a burning look.
Zuo Houde knew at a glance that Yao Ping was telling the truth. He saw ambition in Yao Ping's eyes and could be Sima in the army, but Yao Ping is a talent. Zuo Houde decided to accept it. As for ambition, who doesn't have it?
...
"Oh? Glorious." Zuo Houde looked at the eight-foot-tall man in front of him. Zuo Houde had read his introduction and knew that he was a bad man in the army, so although he had made meritorious services, he was often not promoted.
Gao Ming looked at Zuo Houde excitedly at first glance. Zuo Houde's previous actions of fighting Lu Xiaoxian in front of the city made him a hero in the hearts of most soldiers in the army.
"It's the last general!" Gao Ming said with his fists.
"I know there is an old mother in your family. Although you have a bad reputation in the army, you never bully the weak. At the same time, the neighbors also say that you are a pure filial person. I only ask you a little, and you must obey my orders under my subordinates."
Zuo Houde looked at Gao Ming and said lightly that Zuo Houde had known about the family situation of the people he wanted to recruit. In this way, he would naturally be able to talk about it during the interview.
Sure enough, Gao Ming's eyes were slightly red and he looked grateful: "General knows that although I have a bad reputation in the army, Gao Ming never bullies the weak. His previous boss tried to steal our merits, so Gao Ming would take action. General is a hero in the world, and Gao Ming's natural order!"
...
Time flies very quickly, and a week is just around the corner. Soon Zuo Houde finds his subordinates, with a total of 256 people, all of which were selected by Zuo Houde. Zuo Houde divides these parts into two parts and gives them to Gao Ming and Yao Ping to command.
As for Zuo Houde's original more than 40 troops, Zuo Houde temporarily made them his personal guards. The reason for this is that Zuo Houde still does not trust them enough, and Zuo Houde's original troops are all from Youzhou.
