This is not only the advantage of the Huai You Army, but also the disadvantage of the Huai You Army.

The advantage is that through this transformative training method, the Huai Youjun, a qualitative leap, which itself cannot be ranked in the Central Plains, Jianghuai, has greatly improved the overall quality of the Huai Youjun.

Especially the First Army, which has experienced the baptism of the two battles of the Ant Thief Siege and the Caizhou Army's defensive war, has already had the strength to compete with any strong army on this land, and the growth rate of the Second Army and the Third Army is as amazing.

But the disadvantages are equally obvious.

Although the average strength of the Huaiyou Infantry Army has increased rapidly, this average strength is mainly reflected in defensive operations.

Because the level of middle and senior military officers was slightly inferior, the Huaiyou Infantry Army broke through and defeated the enemy in field battles, and the ability to overcome difficulties in siege battles was insufficient.

Especially in the later period, a large number of soldiers were recruited from refugees in Ying, Boshou and the three prefectures of Ying, Boshou, and basically had no foundation in martial arts. Such soldiers were completely uniform through training and abiding by rules and regulations, but it was more difficult to face a strong enemy and need an officer to take the lead in trying hard.

To give a simple example, when two armies fight in field battles, two or two battalions are in the same way. The opponent's battalion commander, deputy commander and officers of Dutou are more skilled and have stronger martial arts level. When the two sides charge and confront each other, multiple officers on one side can charge and kill generals, and the other side's officers are slightly inferior in quality, so they have to use more soldiers to deal with it, which may cause greater losses to this side. Under normal circumstances, the balance of victory or defeat will naturally tilt towards the side with higher officers.

This is also the biggest bottleneck in the current improvement of the combat effectiveness of the Huaiyou Army.

Before, Jiang Feng spared no effort to recruit old soldiers and grassroots officers from Daliang, but firstly, the number itself was limited, and not many truly high-level officers were lost to Daliang's people. Secondly, with the rapid expansion of the military strength of the Huaiyou Army, it expanded rapidly from the first army to the fifth army. Its demand for officers at the level of the commander (team deputy), the head (deputy head), and the commander (deputy commander) was even more in demand.

From the initial Gushi Army to the current Huaiyou Army, it only took more than a year to develop the Communist Party. The officers trained by this army themselves were obviously difficult to meet. Even with the assistance from Baima Temple, the poaching and recruitment within Daliang, and the scattered investment from the Heshuo area, it is still difficult to meet such a large demand.

This is also a true reflection of the current level of the Huai You Army. A newly formed vassal vassal lord had no foundation before, and it was difficult for its military combat capability to reach this state.

Not to mention the old vassal lords such as Daliang, Dajin, Wu, and Nanyang, like Taining, Huaibei, and Caizhou, which one has not accumulated for twenty or thirty years? Even the weakest E Huang, which is the weakest in the eyes of many people, even if it lacks the combat power of high-end generals, its combat power accumulation among middle and low-level officers is still quite solid. Others have accumulated over the past 10 to 20 years, and it is not comparable to that of new nouveau riche like Huaiyou.

Of course, it does not mean that your middle and grassroots officers will accumulate strong combat power and you will definitely win when you fight. There are many factors that limit the performance of combat power. High-end generals' combat power, magic power, morale, training level, and logistics support may become the decisive factors that affect the outcome of a war in war.

For the current Huaiyou Army, consolidating strengths is important, but the key is to make up for the shortcomings. On this point, Jiang Feng believes that if the Umeda Zhengsan family can completely follow him, then some supplements can be obtained, but it is still not enough.

Wang Miao's trip to Heshuo may bring some benefits, but the expectations cannot be too high.

In the final analysis, it is necessary to provide these officers with an opportunity to improve themselves through constant fierce wars. Only by throwing away all the constraints and concerns at the moment of life and death is the furnace that can best improve oneself. This has been proven by countless examples. Of course, the other half of the risk behind it is that you may die on the spot.

Compared with the complicated and trivial government affairs, military affairs are not the most worrying thing about Jiang Feng.

After all, everyone has realized the effect of the new training method. Even if it still takes time to accumulate and run-in, at least it has already developed a direction. As for the shortcomings that exist, they can only be filled through constant wars.

But in terms of government affairs, it really makes people feel anxious and busy. The lack of talents in this area is far better than that in the army.

The officials under the governor of the Xuzhou Prefecture have not been arranged yet, and Shouzhou has been included in the bag. The blow-like expansion brings more chaos.

The Defensive and Guardian Mansion is about to be established, and many officials who were originally in the Governor's Mansion of the State of the State need to be transferred to the Defensive and Guardian Mansion. Even the places of Chen Wei, Cui Shang, Du Tuo and Wang Huang must be re-arranged.

In addition, personnel adjustments in Shouzhou are also an imperative move. In addition, the reconstruction of Huoqiu and Anfeng counties also requires personnel enrichment. It can be said that the biggest difficulty in front of Jiang Feng is the lack of personnel and the lack of experienced people who can get started immediately.

During this period, some of the former officials of the Ju family may have brought Jiang Feng a little better in this regard. Under the recruitment of Ju Shen and Xu Ziqing, some of the former officials came from Shenzhou and Guangzhou respectively.

Most of these old officials are at a lower level, mostly at the county and township level. Even so, it is a timely help for Jiang Feng, and it is always better than those newcomers who have no experience, especially at the grassroots level of affairs management. If you have no experience, you will not only not be able to do many things well, but you can only do worse.

Jiang Feng knew very well that in order to solve the problem of his dominance in this Huaiyou land, he must ultimately start from the county and township level and firmly grasp the control of this level so that his rule can slowly stabilize in this Huaiyou land.

To put it bluntly, I just want to compete for control with these gentry clans, but my seizure of power is justified, and I have to carry out it in a way that is both cooperative and competitive.

We must let these gentry and tribes understand that their rule in the three prefectures and ten counties must rely on them, but they will not rely entirely on them. Without Zhang's butcher, they will not eat pigs with hair.

To solve this problem, the key is to employ people.

"Sir, Lord Chen and the others are here."

"Please sit in the hall and I'll go there right away." The voice of the guard woke Jiang Feng up from his thoughts.

Many problems are imminent and need to be solved. He has submitted some problems to Chen Wei, Du Tuo and Wang Huang before, hoping that they can also brainstorm and consider how to solve them in the face of the current dilemma of Huaiyou.

Jiang Feng had already had a preliminary idea of ​​the defensive and defending the envoy's house, but it was difficult to enrich the ambition.

According to the current structure of the defense and guarding envoy, the deputy defense and guarding envoy can be set or not. In the current situation in Huaiyou, it is definitely impossible to set up, and no one can compete with it.

Although Sima of the marching army was a civilian staff member, his actual affairs were mainly military, and Cui Shang was the only one who belonged to him.

Chen Weilai is still the position of chief minister, Du Tuo and Wang Huang, and Jiang Feng intends to let the two serve as judges and chief secretary to build up his own civil staff structure, but this is just a big structure. In fact, there are still many officials here, including yamen, yamen, inspectors, envoys, Confucius, followers, staff officers, and other officials. In a short period of time, Jiang Feng did not expect to make up for it at once.

In the hall, Chen Wei and the other two had already arrived, but their faces were different.

Chen Wei's eyebrows are deeply locked, obviously he has a lot of worries; Du Tuo's eyes are full of cleverness in his eyebrows, and he looks like he is not afraid of favors and disgraces.

"I'm afraid that I have some ideas today, so I will recruit you and me. Lord Chen, I'm afraid I'm going to ask you to mention the matter between Ju and Xu. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to delay it anymore. In addition, you should also consider the marriage of your adult as soon as possible." Du Tuo glanced at Chen Wei, but still couldn't help it.

In Du Tuo's opinion, this matter should have been finalized and resolved long ago.

Taking a concubine is not about marrying a wife, so why do you need so much attention?

Find an auspicious day to finalize the betrothal gift and you can get it done quickly. Why do you need to be so slow?

But this Lord Chief Shi seemed to be timid and unwilling to rebel against the defensive defense and capture the master, which made Du Tuo very dissatisfied.

This is no longer a private matter of defending the defense and capturing the adults alone. It will even affect the overall situation in some environment. How could the chief minister not speak out because he was worried about angering Shangguan?

Just like this battle in Shouzhou, Xu Ning's advice brought a lot of trouble, and there were disadvantages to deal with it no matter how it was dealt with. But if the defense guards allowed the adults to get married as soon as possible and give birth to children, there would be no such trouble.

But Du Tuo knew that this marriage was not that simple, especially the choice of a wife, was particularly critical.

The current situation in Huaiyou is subtle and has many connections. It can be said that which party the wife chooses almost determines which party Huaiyou will form an alliance with.

It is heard that the defensive and guard commander had a close relationship with the royal princess Jin. If he could marry the royal princess, it would be a good thing. However, Huaiyou has always been very close to Daliang, especially the generals in the army also come from Daliang, so he needs to carefully consider the pros and cons of this.

Chen Wei also knew Du Tuo’s opinion? He also hoped that Jiang Feng’s marriage would be finalized as soon as possible, but he did not think that now was the best time.

The situation is still in a state of chaos and is changing rapidly, just like this Wu land. To outsiders, this is a wealthy family, with fire and fresh flowers. Who would have expected that maybe a year or two later would be seen as he would have seen him build a tall building, as he greeted guests, and as he saw his building collapse?
