After Gongsun Chu left, Chu Huan sat alone in the side hall. After pondering for a long time, he finally got up and left the side hall. After thinking for a while, he finally went to Su Niang's house and slept in Su Niang's house all night.

Early the next morning, because Chu Huan returned in triumphantly, officials from all over the city of Shuoquan were not allowed to come to congratulate him. The officials were full of officials. Chu Huan naturally thanked everyone for their position in the rear and their contributions to the suppression of the thieves. In addition, he ordered Gongsun Chu on the spot that the officials who had made contributions to defending the city this time would be rewarded with great rewards. The city gate captain who guarded the city gate deliberately lured the enemy into the city was also promoted to one hundred households.

Other officials each have their own praises, and the business that should be promoted, and the business that should be promoted were happy. However, after Xuanyuan Sheng pacified Luo Dingxi, he led his officers and soldiers back to Jiazhou to guard the town. Although he was not present, Chu Huan still sent someone to send praises.

The original head of the Ministry of Revenue was Wei Wuji. Now that Wei Wuji has gone to Tianshan, the position of head of the Ministry of Revenue was vacant. Chu Huan asked the officials for the candidates on the spot. Finally, everyone unanimously elected the commander of the Ministry of Revenue Shan Chengyuan to preside over the Ministry of Revenue. Shan Chengyuan was originally promoted by Gongsun Chu to get up early. He has been working in the Ministry of Revenue and is smart and capable. However, because of Gongsun Chu's impact, he was almost pulled to the execution ground by Dongfangxin. After Chu Huan was rescued, he still served in the Ministry of Revenue. Later, he helped Wei Wuji to handle the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue together. During the implementation of the Juntian Order, he spared no effort and made great contributions.

This was originally a talented person. Logically speaking, Wei Wuji needed some capable officials to go to Tianshan, but he thought that although Juntian Ling had implemented it, there were still many inspection matters later. Shan Chengyuan was also one of the officials who knew Juntian Ling well. If all the capable officials of the Ministry of Revenue Department were taken away, it would be difficult to operate here, so Wei Wuji specially kept Shan Chengyuan.

At today's meeting, everyone was looking forward to it. With the recommendation of everyone, Chu Huan ordered Shan Chengyuan to be the head of the Ministry of Revenue. The officials were even more in awe when they saw Chu Huan doing good.

When the officials said goodbye, Chu Huan specially kept all the officials of the Ministry of War Department. The position of the head of the Ministry of War Department was originally a member of the Zhu Party when Dongfangxin was in the time of Dongfangxin. Later, with the assistance of Gongsun Chu, the vacancies in the various departments were filled as much as possible. However, Chu Huan, the head of the Ministry of War Department, had not arranged any personnel, and Chu Huan, the head of the Ministry of War Department, personally inquired about it.

Leaving officials from the Ministry of War Department is actually just about discussing the next military system.

According to normal circumstances, the armies of various roads of the Qin Dynasty were mainly composed of three troops, one was the Governor’s Imperial Guard, the second was the army of various states, and the third was the army of the garrison.

However, due to the war in the northwest, the military system had changed after the invasion of the Western Liang Dynasty. The Governor-General's Guards were in name only, and the state army and the guards were defeated by the people of Xiliang. After Yu Buqu arrived, he regrouped all his troops. At that time, he had all kinds of troops and horses, and even specially formed township tyrants. There were no unified names. They were all under Yu Buqu's command. After the people of Xiliang retreated, Yu Buqu carried out military organization and formed the Pingxi Army to stabilize the situation in Xiguan. Except for the former subordinates who led a unit to continue to guard the border, only the Pingxi Army existed at that time.

After Chu Huan arrived, he eliminated the Xiguan Zhu Party headed by Dongfang Xin and controlled the Pingxi Army. He then instructed Pei Ji to form the Imperial Guard. Now the army in Xiguan is actually composed of the Pingxi Army and the Imperial Guard. The Imperial Guard was still a short time to form. Although Chu Huan allocated the most exquisite equipment as much as possible, it is still difficult to compare with the Eighth Battalions of the Pingxi Army. Because of this, Pei Ji would call out the Imperial Guards for practical training on the battlefield after several expeditions.

Because of the lack of a large number of war horses, it was impossible for the Pingxi Army or the Imperial Guard to form a real cavalry army with limited number. However, when fighting against Tianshan, not only did it eliminate the strong enemy, but the most important thing was that the seized spoils made Chu Huan go from a poor man who was short of money, and seemed to have become an outbreaker wearing gold and silver.

There were 30,000 Black Wind Cavalry in Tianshan. Although many war horses died on the battlefield after the hard battle, there were still more than 20,000 horses. These were all cavalry carefully built by Zhu Lingyue. They gathered Zhu Lingyue's hard work and failed to fight and made wedding clothes for others. Although many cavalry escaped and many war horses scattered from the battlefield, they still seized tens of thousands of war horses. With so many war horses, no matter where they were placed, they could form a cavalry corps with great attack. After the war, Chu Huan immediately put this time on the agenda. After discussing with Pei Ji, it was confirmed that there could only be one cavalry corps in the northwest, and this cavalry corps can only be controlled by Xiguan. Whether it is Beishan or Tianshan, the cavalry system will be abolished, and all cavalry will be unified by Xu Shao.

Xu Shao not only wanted to continue to search for the lost war horses in the northwest land, but also had to unify the entire northwest cavalry with the assistance of Hou Jingang, Gu Liangchen and other cavalry generals.

The Tianshan cavalry has been selected to stay in the team, and in the Xiguan side, the "Fengzi Camp" cavalry led by Xu Shao, as well as the cavalry experts in the various battalions of the Pingxi Army, naturally they must be organized into the cavalry corps, which will form a unified cavalry system and receive the same training to facilitate unified command.

Of course, Xu Shao had to incorporate the cavalry in Beishan next. There were thousands of cavalry in Beishan, so these cavalry would naturally be organized into the cavalry corps. If the cavalry in Beishan was unwilling to continue serving as cavalry, their horses would also be requisitioned. Chu Huan's bottom line was that it would not be allowed to exist in addition to Xu Shao's cavalry, another independent cavalry corps in the northwest.

The cavalry system has begun to be constructed, and Chu Huan naturally has to reorganize the infantry next. The main body of the infantry is the Eighth Battalion of the Pingxi Army.

Before this, Chu Huan had had in-depth conversations and plans with Pei Ji. Today, he was with the officials of the Ministry of War to discuss the reorganization of the Pingxi Army. In the end, Chu Huan did not want the army under his command to have serious factions. Although a huge army was essential for factions, Chu Huan hoped to reduce this factional dispute to a minimum. Pingxi Eight Camps were divided into eight major camps. When Dongfangxin was in Dongfangxin, the status of the Eight Camps was high and bottom. The battalions controlled by Dongfangxin's confidants should have conflicts with others, and the equipment distribution and quality were different.

After Chu Huan controlled the Pingxi Army, the gap between the Eighth Camps of Pingxi still existed, but because they were mobilized, it had not yet appeared.

Chu Huan still understands the dispute between cavalry and infantry in Tianshan, and naturally hopes to avoid going on the old path. The conflict between the Eighth Bund of Pingxi must be resolved as soon as possible. The solution is naturally to carry out new reorganization and restructuring. Whether in terms of name or actual organization, comprehensive reform will be carried out. The name of the Eighth Bund of Pingxi Army itself has factions, so Chu Huan discussed with the officials of the Ministry of War that Yu Buqu first formed the Pingxi Army to quell the bandits and rebellion in the northwest. Now the two major rebels of Xiao Huanzhang and Zhu Lingyue have been eliminated, and after the implementation of the All-field Order, the so-called bandits have also been greatly reduced. Although there are still a few bandits on the northwest land, it is no longer a big problem. Since this is the case, the three words "Pingxi Army" naturally do not need to be used anymore. Today, the northwest troops are mainly used to shock the bandits of the northwest, so it is more appropriate to call it "Zhenxi Army".

The officials of the Ministry of War Department naturally fully agreed with this new name, and just changing the name can certainly not be called military system reform. For specific reforms, the officials of the Ministry of War Department have many suggestions. The most important thing for Chu Huan is to abolish the eight battalions. All officers and soldiers are affiliated with the "Zhenxi Army". Although the governor of the empire has always had the right to dominate the imperial guards, the situation in the northwest is different. Moreover, Chu Huan repeatedly told everyone that when he came to Xiguan to take office, the emperor once said that he could act at the camera and had the right to deal with it randomly in Xiguan. Therefore, before the northwest was completely stabilized, the "Zhenxi Army" would be directly ordered by the Governor of Xiguan, and Pei Ji, as a general, would directly command the "Zhenxi Army".

The "Zhenxi Army" is not just the reorganized Pingxi Army's military name, but the military name of all the troops in Xiguan, including the cavalry corps established by Xu Shao, which will also be one of the components of the "Zhenxi Army".

According to Chu Huan's idea, the cavalry army will be led by Xu Shao, Hou Jingang, Gu Liangchen, Lang Wazi and others will be used as deputy commanders to command the cavalry, and the reorganized infantry will be led by Xuanyuan Shengcai, and Lu Cunxiao, Fang Rushui, Han Ying, Ming Ji and others will be responsible for commanding the infantry as the core generals of the infantry.

The specific reorganization measures are naturally given by Chu Huan in a general direction, and the Ministry of War will discuss the specific operation plan. This is a major change, and many issues involved will be discussed and resolved. What Chu Huan needs is a "Zhenxi Army" composed of powerful cavalry and elite infantry but integrated. This army will have a strict military system. In terms of promoting generals, it follows Chu Huan's usual practice, regardless of origin, but only depends on talents.

Chu Huan received Pei Ji's teachings and knew that to cultivate a combat-capable army, he must follow the strict governance of the army, and he must make conspiracy with all his mistakes, and he must be punished with all his mistakes, and he must be rewarded with clear rewards and punishments.

I discussed with the officials of the Ministry of War for several hours, and at noon I even had a meal at the Governor's Office, eating and talking until the afternoon. There were many issues involved, including the years of military service, the age of joining the army, the amount of salary of soldiers, the specific implementation methods of the reward and punishment system, the equipment distribution of soldiers, the promotion system of soldiers, etc. I could only temporarily discuss the general outline, and the specific details were handed over to the officials of the Ministry of War for detailed formulation.

In fact, Chu Huan always feels that sometimes very simple problems are artificially complicated, especially because of the special interests and specializations of some people, which leads to the occurrence of various problems and contradictions.

To make the people safe and make them feel satisfied. They don’t have much to ask for. As parents and officials, they should lead their own people to have enough food and clothing. For soldiers who join the army, it is just a matter of one sentence, which means that rewards and punishments are clear, giving them the opportunity to strive for a higher status and reward through their own efforts. Those who dare to disobey military orders and make special punishments mercilessly punish them. In this way, the army will naturally maintain extremely high morale and strong combat effectiveness.

The problem with the army is nothing more than what deserves reward but not what they deserve. Those who deserve punishment cannot be severely punished because of their special background. In this way, the army's morale is naturally sluggish and it is difficult to form cohesion. Chu Huan secretly swore in his heart that at least he should not let the army under his command become such an army. The reward and punishment are clear, and it must be the bottom line for the Zhenxi Army to stick to the end.
