Chapter 1166: Carrying on the Past and Opening up the Future (Fifty-Six)) Reorganization

Meng Chong looked at Ye Feng, who was sitting opposite him, with his eyes wide open. "What did you say? Helan asked to go to the Third Military Region? Are you sure?"

"Commander, this is what my brother-in-law and sister said. How could it be false? Commander Helan asked to go to the Third Military Region."

"Did the king agree?"

"Yes."

Meng Chong paced back and forth in the room for several circles, muttering, "This is good, this is good, Helan is a smart man."

"Commander, what are you talking about?" Ye Feng looked at Meng Chong. He didn't understand why Helan Xiong wanted to go to that remote place. With Helan's qualifications and connections, the commanders of the four military regions were up to him to choose.

Meng Chong turned around, looked at him and smiled, "Don't worry about it. Anyway, this is very good, very good."

Ye Feng nodded. In his heart, he thought that what Meng Chong said was very good. Naturally, after Helan Xiong took the initiative to ask to go to the Third Military Region, another strong competitor for his commander went there. With his age and experience, he naturally didn't expect that Meng Chong was thinking something else.

In fact, throughout the Han Dynasty, anyone with a discerning eye could see the strength of the Helan Xiong family. Thinking of the experience of the Cao family being broken up in the past, many people believed that it was only a matter of time before the Helan family was weakened. They had been dragging their feet until now, just because they were worried about Helan Yan and the little prince's determination.

"What did the king say about me?" He stretched his head and looked at Ye Feng.

"I did." Ye Feng said, "But it doesn't sound very polite. Commander, you won't be angry, will you?"

"What am I angry about? Tell me quickly." Meng Chong said.

"Brother-in-law asked me to tell you that what is yours is yours. Don't do any tricks." Ye Feng said.

Meng Chong was stunned at first. Then he couldn't help laughing.

"Commander, I think brother-in-law is indeed a little unhappy. Why are you so happy?" Ye Feng asked puzzled.

"The king is indeed a little angry. I did not have a pure purpose to bring you back, but the king's words have clearly given me a message. I can't think of the First Military Region, but the Second Military Region is definitely mine." Meng Chong said happily.

"You are so sure. Although the New First Army is not competitive, there is still Commander Bai of the Qilu Corps!" Ye Feng said.

"You don't have to worry about this.

By the way, you can stay for a few more days each time you come back. The princess has been complaining to me that you are old and have to talk about marriage. This time you come back. Just deal with this matter. In the future, you will concentrate on leading the troops and follow me to fight and make achievements." Meng Chong was in a good mood, patting Ye Feng on the shoulder and smiling.

"Marriage is not a simple matter, how can it be handled casually? I plan to accompany my sister for a few days and then go back to the army." Ye Feng blushed and said.

Looking at Ye Feng's expression. Meng Chong was surprised. "Little Ye Feng, you are not still thinking about that little girl in Chu. At that time, you pretended to be a junior officer and went to the little girl's house every day, helping people carry water, dig the ground, climb the roof beams, and really fell in love with her. Your sister may not agree. Besides, the little girl is now in the enemy-occupied area."

"How do you know about this?" Ye Feng was embarrassed.

"What a joke, you are a division commander under me. And you are a division commander with a very special status. What about you don't I know?" Meng Chong laughed.

"What's special about my status?" Hearing Meng Chong say this, Ye Feng suddenly wilted and said with a shy look.

"Ye Feng, you have a special status, and everyone knows this, but you should not regard it as a burden, but as a motivation. You must make some achievements to live up to your status, right? You told the king and the princess about this matter. Did the princess scold you?"

"No, my brother-in-law asked me to find Cao Tianci, saying that he can help me solve this problem." Ye Feng said shyly.

Meng Chong slapped his thigh, "If I had known that the king and the princess would have this attitude, there would be no need to trouble Cao Tianci, we can do it ourselves!" He regretted it in his heart. He knew Ye Feng's relationship very well. The reason why he didn't do this for Ye Feng was mainly because the gap between the two families was too big. Meng Chong thought that the king and the princess would never agree to this marriage. He didn't see that Cao Tianci was just the king's direct disciple, and he married the princess of Zhao. With Ye Feng's noble status, he must be more prominent, but he didn't expect that the king actually agreed to the person Ye Feng chose. Well, let Cao Tianci do the good thing. Since the king has spoken, he can't intervene anymore, otherwise it will be too much.

"No wonder you are in a hurry to return to the army. It turns out that this is the matter. Well, wait for Cao Tianci to get the people back for you, and I will find you a better house for them to live in first." Meng Chong said.

"Thank you very much, Commander. I have always lived in the army and was worried about this matter!" Ye Feng said happily.

"It's just a small matter." Meng Chong said with a smile.

After sending Ye Feng away, Meng Chong finally put aside his biggest concern. The second military region planned by the king was obviously aimed at Chu State. Now Chu State is not the focus of the Han Dynasty, and the equipment of the army is definitely not as good as that of the first military region. , but after the Qin is destroyed in the future, the focus will definitely shift to the Second Military Region. The New First Army, the Qilu Army, plus its own Southern Group Army, together have hundreds of thousands of horses, and can command an army of hundreds of thousands of horses. , this life is enough. It seems that what I have to consider now is how to handle the relationship with Bai Yucheng of the Qilu Army. If he wants to form a fist in the Second Military Region, he must handle the relationship with Bai Yucheng. After the last defeat of the New First Army, their voice in the army will inevitably be reduced, and they will only obey with low eyebrows and will not fight with themselves. Cui Chengxiu and the others are not qualified at all in terms of qualifications. .

That night, the lights in the house where Meng Chong lived stayed on all night.

On the tenth day after the military generals returned to Jicheng, they finally gathered again in the spacious conference room of the Ministry of War. Unlike the last time, only Ye Zhong, the Minister of War, showed up. This time, Gao Yuan came in person, and Jiang Jiaquan also appeared as a representative of the Political Affairs Hall. In the conference room.

Gao Yuan looked at the serious-faced generals sitting around the oval table with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Dear generals, except for a large-scale reorganization of our army during the Eastern Army, we have never carried out any military-related activities. With the founding of the Han Dynasty, the expansion of territory, and the constant changes in foreign enemies, our current military structure is obviously no longer suitable for the new form. Therefore, after careful consideration, I decided to reorganize the army again. The general idea was last time Ye Shangshu has already told everyone, and I believe everyone knows it. Therefore, today I am just here to share the results of the reorganization. This time, no matter how your personal position changes, please all generals. I realize that the reason for such changes is because of the needs of the country. Therefore, I hope that everyone can recognize the form, re-recognize their own position, and make new contributions in new positions. The great cause has not yet been successful. , you still need to work hard!”

With a crash, all the generals stood up and said, "I accept the king's decree."

"Okay, very good. I'm very happy that everyone has this attitude. Ye Chong, let's get started."

Ye Chong stood up, opened a thick stack of papers on the table in front of him, cleared his throat, and said: "Everyone, starting from today, the Ministry of War is reorganized into the Ministry of National Defense, and Ye Moutian is appointed as the Minister of National Defense. The subordinate agencies are under I won’t go into too much detail here. You can look back at the Ministry of National Defense’s briefing. Now I’m announcing the latest appointments in the military.”

"The Fourth Military Region is the Weiwu Military Region. The commander is Shangguan Hong. The four direct armies of the original Young Guards have been reorganized into the First to Fourth Armies, which are under the Fourth Military Region. The commanders of each army remain unchanged."

"Obey!" Shangguan Hong and his four commanders loudly accepted the order.

"The First Military Region, Commander Xu Yuan, Deputy Commander Ye Zhen, the troops under their jurisdiction include the original Eastern Field Army, the Central Field Army and the Northern Field Army. The First Army under the former Eastern Field Army was reorganized into the Fifth Army, and the commander Ding Wei, The former Second Army was reorganized into the Sixth Army, with its commander Yan Haibo. The former First Army of the Northern Field Army was reorganized into the Seventh Army, with its commander Yan Peng. The former Second Army was reorganized into the Eighth Army, with its commander Luo Weiran. The First Army was reorganized into the Ninth Army, with its infantry commander, the Second Army was reorganized into the Tenth Army, with its commander Yang Fugui, and the Third Army was reorganized into the Eleventh Army, with its commander Kong Fang. The other was the Xiongnu Independent Cavalry Division, with its commander. Gu Li, Donghu Independent Cavalry Division, commander Agu Huai'en."

"Yes!" There was a roar, and this time more than a dozen generals stood up. Xu Yuan and Ye Zhen looked at each other and nodded to each other. The equipment of the First Military Region can be said to be luxurious, and almost concentrated a group of troops with the most outstanding achievements in the civil war of the Eastern Conquest Army, especially Xu Yuan's original Northern Main Field Army Group, which is also known as the First Army besides the Guards Corps. .

"The Second Military Region, Commander Meng Chong, Deputy Commander Bai Yucheng. The First Army under the former Southern Field Army was reorganized into the Twelfth Army, with Commander Zheng Xiaoyang, and the Second Army was reorganized into the Thirteenth Army, with Commander Tie Xuan, The First Army under the original Qilu Army was reorganized into the Fifteenth Army, with its commander Hu Tou, the Second Army was reorganized into the Sixteenth Army, with its commander Heng Dao, and the Third Army was reorganized into the Seventeenth Army, with its commander Wei Zhiwen. The original New First Army was split into two armies, namely the 18th Army and the 19th Army. The commander of the 18th Army was Cui Chengxiu and the commander of the 19th Army was Chen Bin. "

Led by Meng Chong, all the generals in the Second Military Region stood up. At this time, everyone saw a general standing upright near the corner of the door. This was Chen Bin, the general from the Northern Group Army, who was captured by Gao Yuan. He was transferred to the 19th Army by name and served as commander.

"Third Military Region, Commander He Lanxiong, the troops under his command will be organized after the new year." Ye Zhong smiled and turned to look at He Lanxiong. He Lanxiong stood up, stood up straight, and said loudly: "He Lanxiong takes the order."

"In addition to the reorganization of the military, everyone, the Overwatch Yuan is also being reorganized this time. Because one part of the Overwatch Yuan will be split into the Ministry of War, I would like to inform you here that the Department of Military Intelligence under the Overwatch Yuan is Part of it will become the Military Intelligence Bureau and will be directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, while the remaining part of the Oversight Council will be established as the National Security Bureau, which will be under the jurisdiction of the soon-to-be-established Police Department, and Director Cao Tianci will serve as the Minister of Police.” (To be continued)
