There were generals everywhere in the Dali Dynasty, but generals were different from each other, and many people could be called great generals.
General is just a general title for generals in the army.
Military generals above the sixth rank can boast of being generals when they arrive at their respective locations. Even a captain at a city gate can call himself a general in front of his subordinates.
But such a title does not have much value.
Among all the generals, the most valuable are the titled generals.
To put it simply, when the emperor bestowed a title on a general, he gave him a title.
The titles of these generals also vary in rank. According to the current situation of Wang Chao of Dali, the highest rank is the General with the Imperial Title. Now in Dali, there are only two Generals with the Imperial Title. Both of them are old generals from the previous emperor's period. Their titles are extraordinary, but they do not have much military power.
Below the imperial generals, the most valuable are the four generals.
He personally appointed four generals in the four directions of east, south, west and north.
Next, titles are conferred based on place names or achievements. For example, Qian Mu is now the General of Wuwei, and the word "Wu" is a recognition of his achievements.
Below them were generals of miscellaneous titles, whose titles were generally random and whose names were all randomly chosen by the people in the Ministry of War and reported to His Majesty.
For example, Linghu Xiaoshan, according to his achievements and the achievements of the Fengling Army, should have been given a title of the same level as the General of Xuanwu Jia.
However, Linghu Xiaoshan did not have any title, while the general in Xuanwu Armor had the title of General Zhenbei, which was the most powerful title among all the generals.
But Linghu Xiaoshan had nothing. Instead, the four generals under his command all had titles, but they were just miscellaneous titles.
Qian Mu, the General of Wuwei, on the one hand, uses the word "Wu" to highlight Qian Mu's achievements, and on the other hand, it is a symbol of a general with real power.
But Linghu Xiaoshan did not receive such treatment.
This is the difference. Although Linghu Xiaoshan is very powerful and has a large army under his command, he does not have a title.
However, no matter the military strength or the combat effectiveness of the subordinates, there is no way to compare with the Black Tortoise Armor. Linghu Xiaoshan cannot compare with this.
Linghu Zheng previously had the title of General Wu'an, which was the same level as Qian Mu's General.
However, since Linghu Zheng's military power was weakened, he now only has the title of Tianyong City Defense General. He has no real power at all, and the number of troops under his command is pitifully small.
Although he was still a third-rank official, he was simply the type who was just collecting his salary and waiting to die.
No wonder Linghu Zheng was so angry.
What about Qian Mu? Not only was he the general of Wuwei, he also held real power, which was in stark contrast to Linghu Zheng's situation.
Liu Feng knew nothing about these things before.
On the way here, Wu Jiang had just explained it to Liu Feng. After listening to it, Liu Feng realized that the Wuwei general who transported Qian Mu was actually of such high value.
Thinking of the scene where he, Liu Feng, performed surgery on Qian Mu a few days ago, Liu Feng wanted to laugh.
When he arrived at the study, he saw Qian Mu. Qian Mu was still lying on the couch. Compared with when Liu Feng left a few days ago, he looked much more energetic and had obviously recovered well.
His daughter Qian Tian was guarding Qian Mu and did not notice anything unusual after seeing Liu Feng.
"Are you the leader of the Tiger Roar Army and the captain of Xinhedu?"
Qian Mu leaned sideways and asked calmly.
At this time, An Shirong walked in and closed the door of the study.
This action attracted the attention of Liu Feng and Wu Jiang.
No matter what, this is an important meeting. Under normal circumstances, it would not be appropriate for Qian Tian to appear here.
How could the person who was supposed to welcome them into the mansion appear here?
When they first came in, they subconsciously thought that this person was the housekeeper of General Qian's mansion, but now it seems that this person's identity is probably not simple.
"It's me, Liu Feng."
Qian Mu asked directly and to the point.
"I heard that you and a few of your attendants were going to recruit soldiers at Dasan Pass. Is that true?"
"yes."
Qian Mu was curious: "Your Tiger Roar Army is quite large, so why are you so short of manpower?"
Liu Feng replied with a smile: "No one is there. Youzhou has been through a great war and is in great need of men."
Qian Mu frowned slightly. Seeing Liu Feng's quick and clear answer, which sounded like a helpless gangster, he immediately felt unhappy.
"Do you know that Dasan Pass is the gateway to Qingzhou and holds extremely high strategic value? Not only are there tens of thousands of armored soldiers in the city, but there are also over ten thousand soldiers stationed in the fields. Are you here to recruit soldiers?"
The words were not finished, but Liu Feng understood them clearly. The implication was that this was my territory and the common people were my soldiers and garrisons. Don’t you have any idea?
Bufei’s main point at this time is that he is like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.
Grin and laugh.
"General Qian is so rich, he would give me some of his money."
This one sentence almost made Qian Mu so angry that he vomited blood. Seeing that he was about to get angry, Wu Jiang quickly stepped forward and grabbed Liu Feng, and the two began to cooperate.
"General Qian, please don't be angry. My general is just a straightforward person and has no ill intentions."
"We, the Tiger Roar Army, are here to recruit soldiers because we need to develop. Moreover, the Tiger Roar Army is not the kind of people who are proud of their own strength and do not know how to be grateful. Our only purpose is to protect the people."
"I've also heard that General Qian was both a great civil servant and a great military advisor. He often led large armies to clear out bandits in the surrounding area, earning him great respect from the people. General Qian worked tirelessly for the people and was highly praised."
"Although our Tiger Roar Army cannot compare with General Qian, we also want to learn from General Qian's spirit of serving the country and the people and do something practical for the people."
"Furthermore, after the establishment of our Tiger Roar Army, we also set the ambition to eliminate banditry in Youzhou and protect the country and its people."
"If General Qian can allow my Tiger Roar Army to recruit soldiers within the Great Wall, the Tiger Roar Army will assist you in eradicating the bandit problem together."
Wu Jiang smiled and spoke a lot, and finally added:
"Although the Northern Barbarians have retreated, there are still remnants of them in Yanzhou. There are also many Northern Barbarian spies in the vast land of Youzhou, and there are even more small camps hidden in the mountains."
"General Qian is busy with countless affairs every day. He commands Dasan Pass with great vigor. One man can hold the pass against ten thousand."
"Of course, I don't care about wiping out these small-scale Northern Barbarian spies. Wouldn't it be better to let my Tiger Roar Army handle these people?"
"Not only does it deprive them of the opportunity to infiltrate Dashanguan, but it also allows the common people to live in peace. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"
Qian Mu's expression eased slightly.
After all, he is a knowledgeable person and can be a strategist. At least this is much more classy than what Liu Feng, a warrior, said.
It's comfortable to listen to.
"There are no mountain dwellers or people from the surrounding areas entering Dasan Pass to trade, so it's understandable that you would recruit some."
"I approve this recruitment."
"How about this, you send someone to post a notice at the city gate, and you stay in the mansion for a few days to rest."
"Wait until a certain number of moes are collected, and then you can take them away."
