Officer training officially ends.
All the soldiers of the First Army who were working outside were recalled to the barracks.
The barracks were in chaos, and all the soldiers in the camp were cleaning the barracks and tidying up their rooms under the supervision of the officers.
Zhang Shixun and several key officers were sitting in a barracks for a meeting.
"...In short, there must be no ambiguity in this military reorganization. Those who are weak and sick or over 30 years old will be assigned to the logistics battalion. Of course, those with special skills are excluded." Zhang Shixun sat in the main seat and explained the purpose of the training to them.
He Ji praised it, then became a little worried: "Military Commander, this kind of training is indeed a way to strengthen the army. However, it seems to be making a lot of noise. What about the court...?"
Zhang Shixun smiled and said, "My plan has already received the approval of Marshal Gao."
He did not tell anyone what happened the day before yesterday, because there was no need to explain to these people, they were not high enough.
"But if this happens, there won't be many people left for the remaining four commanders," said Gao Yanei.
"We'll take as many people as we can. It's better to have fewer people than to have unqualified ones." Zhang Shixun said in a firm tone.
Li Fu secretly poked Lu Wan's waist. Lu Wan glanced at him, coughed lightly, and said, "I think this kind of training is a bit inappropriate. Our Tianwu Army is the Fourth Army. If we do something to them, it will be..."
"Huh!? Li Fu, please explain clearly what you mean by tampering? Do you mean that the commander of the army is planning something bad by reorganizing the First Army?" Gao Yanei was dissatisfied.
Although he appeared careless on the surface, he was very clear-headed in his heart. He had long known who had sent Li Fu and Lu Wan, and he disliked their daily behavior.
"Gao Du Yu Hou, that's not what I meant." Li Fu hurriedly explained, "I meant that we should be cautious in reorganizing the First Army. It's best to report to the court first. Once the court has officially approved it, it won't be too late to reorganize it."
"Li Fu meant well, and his words were mature and prudent." Lu Wan echoed.
"The military commander has just said that the matter of reorganizing the First Army has been approved by the Palace Front Department. Didn't you two hear it?" He Ji said with a frown.
Having said this, several superiors have already made their attitude clear.
Li Fu still said stubbornly: "We are also considering our First Army, and have no other intentions. Although the Tianwu Army is under the command of the Palace Front Department, I am afraid that even General Gao can't handle such a big matter... I hope that the generals will understand our good intentions."
Zhang Shixun watched coldly, thinking in his heart whether to get rid of these two annoying guys.
"Li Fu, shut up, Grandpa!" Gao Yanei couldn't help but get angry when he heard him disrespect his father. "Such a trivial matter as the First Army, don't you think General Gao has the final say?"
Li Fu opened his mouth to argue, but Zhang Shixun spoke.
"There's one more thing I need to tell you, but you interrupted me just now." Zhang Shixun said with a half-smile, "Prime Minister Cai will soon be back in office. He personally promised me that my First Army will be able to fill the vacancies. He will provide me with money, men, and supplies."
"Ah!" Li Fu and Lu Wan looked at each other, thinking that this military leader didn't tell us earlier or later, but waited until we expressed our objections before revealing the news. Isn't this deliberately embarrassing us?
When He Ji and Gao Yanei heard the news, they looked at each other and seemed very happy.
"It seems that the military commander has already obtained the consent of the government?" He Ji was a smart man and immediately connected the information he had obtained.
Even if Cai Jing returned to the position of prime minister, this old fox would follow the emperor's wishes in every move. As long as he spoke out, it meant that the emperor had agreed.
Zhang Shixun didn't answer He Ji's question, but said, "Everyone, go back and resolve the matter you just assigned to us within three days. Don't delay."
Several people stood up together, stood at attention with their chests puffed out, and said, "Yes!"
Now the First Army has standardized everything from top to bottom, from military appearance to behavior and manners. Military salutes are also performed in an orderly manner, and no one dares to be careless.
Zhang Shixun nodded, walked out first and returned to his room.
There was a man waiting for him in the house. When he saw him come in, he quickly stood up and saluted, "I am Slow Monkey, sent by the master of my cave. I am honored to meet you, sir."
The so-called cave master is Li Kui.
Yesterday, Zhang Shixun asked Hei Wuchang to inform Li Kui to send a smart person over, preferably a thief. I didn't expect him to arrive so soon.
"Are you a thief?" Zhang Shixun asked.
"My name is Sloth Monkey, and I've been eating this kind of food ever since I can remember."
"How much do you know about the foreign post stations in Tokyo?" Zhang Shixun asked.
"My Lord, I know a thing or two about foreign embassies."
"Since you know a thing or two, tell me what you know."
"The Liao envoys are in Duting Posthouse. Because the Liao Dynasty was destroyed, the Liao envoys disappeared. The ones living there now are the Jin envoys; the Western Xia envoys are in Duting West Posthouse; the Goryeo envoys are in Tongwenguan in Anzhou Lane outside Liangmen; the Uighurs and Khotan are in the Protocol Courtyard; small foreign countries such as Srivijaya, Zhenla, Dali, and the Arabs are in Zhanyunguan or Huaiyuan Posthouse..." The lazy monkey counted on his fingers and knew all the foreign posthouses like the back of his hand.
Zhang Shixun was a little surprised. How could a thief be so familiar with foreign inns?
As if he had guessed Zhang Shixun's question, the lazy monkey said proudly: "My lord, I have always wanted to take action against these embassies, so I have been paying special attention to them, hehe..."
"Is there another place you have been to?" Zhang Shixun asked with a smile.
"Where?"
"The Imperial Palace."
The slow loris was startled and shook his hands, saying, "No, I have definitely not been there."
