After the military agreement was over, Li Liang and Guo Cheng'an came to ask for a meeting one after another. Li Jing simply asked the two to go to the study room to meet. The purpose of the two came was very simple. They both understood that Li Jing was a smart and cautious person. Now he was sending troops to suppress bandits in Zibo and Qi, and the other side was only 800 horse thieves. Even if there were many bandits in Zibo, he could not use four elite camps. With the auxiliary troops' logistics and supplies, there were tens of thousands of people.

Li Jing did not ask Li Liang and Guo Chengan directly in the hall, but asked later on, and this cautiousness satisfies him. If the two of them knew that there was something wrong with this matter but ignored it, it would be the incompetence of these two people.

"In fact, it's just an excuse to suppress bandits. This time our real goal is King Jingwu of Qingzhou!"

"Is this what Jishuai means or is it just the general's meaning?" Guo Chengan said in surprise. The Jishuai Song Wei and Wang Jingwu have a disagreement, which is also known to everyone over the past year. Everyone thought that Song Wei could not defeat the local snake, and in the end, he would leave like a few exes after three years. However, he did not expect that Song Wei was indeed a general who had fought several battles and was unwilling to compromise with Wang Jingwu at all.

"Of course this is what Jishuai Shin. Our army won many battles and its reputation had long been heard by Jishuai Shin. Otherwise, he would not have had such a plan. Long before, my family had planned to transfer us to Qingzhou to quell the rebellion, but he was always worried that Wang Jingwu would be anxious to jump over the wall. Now that there is such a good opportunity to destroy Guo, how could they miss it?" Li Jing said with a chuckle.

Li Liang twisted the beard on his lips and said, "If this is the case, then the general shouldn't have agreed so easily. Since we are the key force to beat Wang Jingwu this time, we should put forward some conditions to the right one."

Li Jing laughed and said the conditions he had put forward.

"The position of the governor of Dengzhou, the military name of the Zhendong Army?" This request made Li Liang and Guo Chengan surprised and lost their voices. They said that they would make some requests, which was just to add some troops. But unexpectedly, Li Jing really dared to speak. Dengzhou governor and Zhendong Army.

But after thinking about it, the two of them really admired Li Jing. Every time Li Jing acted, he always seemed very bold and reckless, but in fact he had thought carefully and had great feasibility. Just like the current situation, Li Jing's request seemed unreliable, but in fact he had a lot of reasons.

"Maybe Song Jieshuai will really agree!"

"When our troops arrive in Qingzhou, how can Song Jieshuai have other choices?"

Guo Chengan said with some concern: "But if you make such a request directly, even if Song Wei agrees now, the general is not afraid that he will pacify Wang Jingwu later and then turn around to deal with us?"

"What's there to worry about? Wang Jingwu only holds a Qingzhou fang soldier. The number of soldiers is 5,000, and the number of private soldiers is only 10,000, but he dares to fight against Song Wei. We now have more than 20,000 soldiers, and I just want to Dengzhou and I don't fight against him. In fact, if we get Dengzhou and the military number, we are still his. If we only want to attack us for such a thing that cannot threaten his status, Song Wei will die a thousand times under Wang Jing's sword."

"But are there too many soldiers? Even if the supply of tens of thousands of people is difficult to use when traveling through water," said Guo Chengan.

"No, this time, the logistics battalion was not brought with me, and the Nutao Battalion was directly responsible for transporting troops and supply. In addition, after we arrived in Qingzhou, we would fight quickly. After we dealt with Wang Jingwu, how could we still be afraid of not having logistics supplies?"

After discussing some details, Li Liang said: "The most important thing now is how to solve Wang Jingwu. The Qingzhou Tooth Soldiers have always been famous and very powerful. Moreover, the Tooth Soldiers under the Qingzhou Tooth Soldiers have almost always been inherited from generation to generation. The father died and the son took over the position, and the brother died and the younger brother took over the position. Not only those officers are like this, but also ordinary soldiers are like this. Moreover, these officers and officers, soldiers and soldiers are connected to each other. In this way, the relationship between the army and the father and son are in battle. The Qingzhou Tooth Soldiers are extremely united."

"Jingshou has three thousand soldiers in the commander's office, five thousand united soldiers in Qingzhou, and three thousand guards in the Military Supervisory Academy. If we add our fourth battalion and six thousand troops, we have sufficient numbers to Wang Jingwu. I am afraid that the people on Jieshou's side will be useless and may have to rely on ourselves at that time. The Qingzhou army is fierce. If we fight at that time, we will suffer a lot of losses."

"You can't fight with conventional wars. If you can get a surprise soldier, it's best to suddenly attack Wang Jingwu, and capture the thief and capture the king."

"You can let the special wars sneak into the city in batches first, and then Song Jieshuai will lead the attack on Wang Jingwu's Champion directly."

"No," Li Jing nodded. "For specific purposes, you can send someone to Qingzhou to contact Song Jieshuai immediately."

After saying this, Li Liang and the others also let go of their worries when they came. Guo Chengan came in a new way and wanted to show his skills everywhere. At this time, he was reluctant to leave and said to Li Jing: "Although he was new to his post, he also discovered some situations in the army and wanted to talk to the general."

Li Jing smiled and said to Li Liang who wanted to go out: "Staff General Li stayed together and listen. If what he said makes sense, let's think about changing it together."

Guo Chengan smiled: "Actually, there are no big problems. There are two points. One is that the soldiers' food and salary and military merits are too high. I know that the general had not had many soldiers before, and he was in a dangerous situation. It would help win people's hearts. However, now there are more horses. Now we have more than 20,000 people under our command, and these people have to pay food and salary in the mansion. Regardless of other things, one person has two liters of rice a day and six dou of rice a month. The entire army will consume 6,600 stones of rice a month, and about 80,000 stones of grain a year. This does not count the food consumed several times the time it takes to march during the war."

"When I looked at the post, this was only the least amount of consumption. Now the soldiers' salaries are very high, not only the officers but also the ordinary soldiers. In addition, the rewards are higher and the pensions are also amazing. Although the army has a lot of advances, this is not a long-term solution. Another point is that the officers have higher and lower ranks, but the soldiers below are not divided into ranks. Many brothers who followed the general had not been promoted. Until now, they are just ordinary big-headed soldiers, but many newly recruited soldiers are treated the same as theirs. In this way, not only is it not conducive to management in the army, but it is also not good to fight on the battlefield. It is not good to have no height between the soldiers."

Li Liang also nodded from the side: "These two points that Secretary Guo said are to the point, I think are very reasonable. However, the heavy rewards and kindness are rules set early, and we cannot change them rashly now. However, this level of soldiers can be divided into one point."

Li Jing thought about it and found that he certainly understood the problem of excessive rewards. In the early days, he had to deal with the bad situation at that time, how could he let his subordinates work hard without paying money. But now it is difficult to reduce. It is easy to advance, but it is difficult to lower down. Now when they mentioned it again, Li Jing suddenly felt aroused.

He said, "I have a preliminary plan after hearing what you said. It is to set up a soldier level with all soldiers below the rank of the team within the ninth rank, including the corps commander and sergeant. My preliminary plan is to divide all soldiers below the rank of the team into three levels, soldiers, soldiers, and non-commissioned officers."

Li Liang asked with some interest: "How to distinguish it specifically?"

"For example, the soldiers are divided into five grades, lower-class soldiers, third grades, second grades, first grades, and upper-class soldiers. According to the time of enlistment, all those who first join the army are lower-class soldiers, and then they will be automatically promoted to the first grade every year. Those who have military achievements can be promoted according to their merits. Above the soldiers, soldiers are also divided into corporals, sergeants and sergeants. This sergeant is above ordinary soldiers. Generally, soldiers have been over five years, or have great merits, they can be promoted to sergeants.

.A soldier who is promoted to sergeant can serve as deputy sergeant commander. Sergeant can serve as sergeant commander. Sergeant is promoted every two years, or is promoted according to military merit. When promoted, he is a non-commissioned officer, a third-level sergeant commander, a second-level sergeant commander, and a first-level sergeant commander. A third-level sergeant commander can serve as a sergeant commander, and a first-level sergeant commander is a sergeant commander. Under normal circumstances, sergeant commander is promoted every three years."

Guo Chengan calculated in his mind that if a soldier joins the army and does not obtain military merit, he can only be promoted from an ordinary soldier to a sergeant for five years, and then in six years, he can be promoted to a non-commissioned officer, and to the top level, and it will take six more years. From joining the army to a first-class sergeant, it will take seventeen years. The position of an officer above a first-class sergeant cannot be promoted only by years, but must have military merits to be promoted.

"Will there be too many levels?" Guo Chengan asked.

Li Liang smiled and said, "I think this is very good. I set the current standard of the mate chief's food and salary as the first-class sergeant chief, the current standard of the sergeant chief, and the current standard of the ordinary soldiers as the top-class sergeant. In this way, most soldiers can only be rated as the level of the lower-class sergeant private. In this way, their standard of the food and salary will be downgraded, and the problem of excessive food and salary that troubles our soldiers can solve most of the problems."

"A mate leader, that is, the monthly salary of the first-class sergeant commander is 6,000, the second-class 5,500, and the third-class 5,000. Then a sergeant is 4,550, the sergeant is 4,500, the sergeant is 4,500, the sergeant is 3,000, and the sergeant is 3,000, and the sergeant is 3,000, the sergeant is 2,000, the sergeant is 2,000, the sergeant is 2,000, the sergeant is 2,000."

"Will this ordinary soldier be too low?" Li Jing asked.

"It's not too low. The monthly salary of the lower-class soldiers is 2,000, which is just the same as the salary of the border soldiers of the court's current court's border soldiers. But we only have two thousand, so our standards are much higher, not to mention that we have high rewards and pensions. The rewards should also be appropriately reduced. The head-level official money for an enemy soldier is almost the same. In addition to the military merits of the head, the military merits are calculated according to the transfer, one turn, two turn, four turn, eight turn, four turn, sixteen turn, and the highest five turn, thirty-two turn."

Seeing that Li Jing was still hesitant, Li Liang advised: "This is already good. If you stick to the previous standards, you will not be able to bear it if you continue to do so." Li Jing thought about it and felt that there was a reason. As the territory continued to expand, the troops would definitely be expanded. At that time, 70,000 or 80,000 troops, or even 100,000 troops, the rewards of too high food and salary are really unbearable. Taking advantage of this new expansion, it would be good to launch a new level of 11 soldiers.

The most important thing in the army is hierarchy, which not only reflects the authority of the upper and lower levels, but also allows veterans to occupy a more dominant position during war. Veterans have rich experience and higher food and salary can also reflect their value.

On the same day, Li Jing began to issue notices and post announcements to assess and classify all soldiers. Basically, the current team leader, deputy team leader, flag bearer, deputy flag bearer, sergeant, sergeant, deputy sergeant, commander, etc. can be directly awarded the corresponding level according to their current position without assessment. Each person's level is engraved on their soldiers' own licences, and it is clear at a glance.

Basically, the earliest group of soldiers in Shamen Town have now basically become low-level officers in various battalions, and this time they have also been awarded the ranks of non-commissioned officers and sergeants. For example, the newly brought back from Liaodong, most of them are inferior soldiers, with good martial arts skills, strong heights and strong horses, and the sailors are generally third-class privates. The cavalry, the lowest ones are second-class privates.

The soldiers in Li Jing's guard camp and the Control He Camp are one level higher than the soldiers in other combat barracks. The soldiers in the Black Bear Camp and other combat barracks are generally one level higher than those in logistics barracks. The soldiers in the military barracks and baggage barracks are basically inferior to those in the military barracks, which shows that their status is much lower than that in the military barracks.

At the same time, Li Jing officially ordered the entire army to be officially the Zhendong Army, with five wings under it, divided into five wings in front, back, middle, left and right. Li Jing transferred a garrison battalion and a foreign wing battalion among the eight battalions of Qingni City to join the garrison battalion to join the garrison city. In this way, Qingni City and Beisha City each had five battalions, each of which was organized into one wing. The five battalions of Qingni City were organized into the left wing, Lin Wu was the left wing military envoy. The five battalions of Beisha City were organized into the right wing, and Wang Chong was the right wing military envoy.

On the side of Da Xie Fort, Li Jing generalized the Heixiong Camp, the Tiebi Camp, the Nutao Camp and the Transportation Camp, and added an auxiliary barracks to form the front wing, and Lin Wei was the front wing military envoy. He was stationed in the area of ​​Daheishan Island. He also organized the logistics camp, the baggage camp, the engineering camp, the military police camp and the medical camp as the rear wing, and Zhang Chengzong was appointed as the rear wing military envoy.

Li Jing led his own middle wing, which was under the jurisdiction of three battalions: the He Cavalry Battalion, the Silver Gun Guard Battalion, and the Feiying Reconnaissance Battalion. Since the He Cavalry Battalion and the Gun Guard Battalion are both large camps, the two battalions were divided into two battalions, namely the Yin Gun Gun Gun Gun Gun Gun, the Control He Cavalry Battalion and the Feiqi Battalion.

The five-box soldiers and horses are the strongest in the middle wing led by Li Jing. They have two cavalry battalions, and the guard camp, the silver gun camp, and the Feiying Camp have one cavalry capital. There are 2,600 cavalry in the whole middle wing, and more than half of the soldiers and horses are cavalry.

Because the left and right wings are stationed in Liaodong, the troops are also very strong. The weakest ones are the front and rear wings, especially the back wings. Among the five battalions, the logistics, baggage, engineers, military police, and medical battalions are all not combat battalions. Except for the military police battalion with slightly stronger combat power, the others are logistics auxiliary battalions.

Without Song Wei's consent, Li Jing had already adapted the banner and organization of Zhendong Army. This action also showed that Li Jing was determined to win. No matter whether Song Wei was willing to give him a military call after pacifying Wang Jingwu, he had already called a military call. In the late Tang Dynasty, the military generals with strong soldiers were like this, and Li Jing was of course no exception.

Three days later, the lower wings of the Zhendong Army were organized, and all the soldiers were also given a new level after assessment. On the dock, in addition to the dispatch of the fifth battalion of the middle wing, Li Jing also transferred the Nutao Battalion in the front wing to transport them from the sea to Qingzhou and was responsible for logistics supply. In addition to the fifth battalion of the middle wing, Li Jing did not bring any logistics supplies, but transferred all the troops from the medical battalion and the engineering battalion to accompany him.

Under the huge three-character Zhendong Army on the dock, the soldiers who went to war bid farewell to their families and began to board the ship one after another. Many soldiers stood on the boat, looking at the level on their military signs, and secretly said in their hearts that they must take this opportunity to chop off a few more heads and make military achievements, so that they can directly advance to the level based on their military achievements. The military envoys on the dock just now said that if they think they have low levels, they should take it directly on the battlefield.
