If the rank of Huang Zhong’s third-level general was to encourage veterans like Gao Shun, then the rank of Wen Pin’s third-level general was to set a benchmark for the entire army, so that those who have newly joined the Yang family army would see hope, see the fairness and strictness of the Yang family army, and see Yang Fan’s equal treatment.

"Haha, Zhongye, good-looking, I didn't embarrass my teacher!"

After Wenpin returned to the queue, Huang Zhong immediately patted Wenpin's shoulder and said with a smile.

It would be fine if Huang Zhong didn't say this. As soon as he said it, Gao Shun and others were so embarrassed that they blushed. They also knew why they were not awarded the rank of general. Now, after hearing Huang Zhong's words, they almost found a hole to crawl in, so as not to be embarrassed.

"Okay, the military ranks above the lieutenant level have been awarded. I have only one sentence for you here, that is, 'A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier! I hope you will work hard, abide by the military rules and regulations of our army, and set an example!' After the ranks below the lieutenant level have been checked, the list will be made, and the leaders and generals of each battle camp will be awarded on my behalf."

In recent years, Guan Yu, Zhang Liao and others have been promoted too quickly, and they have also held heavy troops and their status is transcendent, so they are inevitably a little inflated. Yang Fan also took this opportunity to suppress it, so that they would all think they were going to heaven.

"The Ministry of Political Affairs? What does it do?"

In addition to sighing, Zhang Liao also sighed. At this time, he heard his lord Yang Fan mention a new word and asked quickly.

"The Political Affairs Department is a new department established by our army, which is specifically responsible for the promotion, ideological awareness, security and other work within our army. The Political Affairs Department is directly led by the lord Yang Fan, and others have no right to interfere in all affairs of the Political Affairs Department."

Xi Zhong immediately left the list to explain.

"What is thought awareness?"

Guan Yu asked in confusion.

"The combat power displayed by soldiers of an army is very different whether they participate in the war voluntarily or are forced to participate in the war, so the responsibility of the Political Affairs Department is to let the soldiers know why they fight and why they fight. Only by voluntarily participating in the war can they exert their strong combat power."

Xun You explained.

"Oh, what is the General Staff Headquarters?"

Huang Zhong asked.

"The chief staff of our army is responsible for the production of strategic deployment, just like the former military division headquarters."

Xi Zhong explained.

"What is the military police?"

Zhao Yun asked in confusion.

"The Ministry of Gendarmerie is a new department established by our army. The Ministry of Gendarmerie is mainly responsible for maintaining the military discipline, investigating the hidden enemy personnel in the army, and warding prisoners of war, etc."

Xun You explained.

"What's the Army Department?"

Gao Shun asked, this was the issue he was most concerned about. Xi Zhong said just now that in addition to the orders of his lord Yang Fan, the orders of each war battalion were the priority of the orders of the Army Department. This was a power department, and a department with considerable power.

"All the troops that our army fight on the ground will be called the army in the future, and the Army Department is the army in charge of our army. The members of the Army Department include the chief generals of each battle battalion, the director of our army's General Staff Headquarters, the minister of our army's political affairs department, and the generals with a rank of second-level general or above. Any orders from our army must be issued through the Army Department, and even the orders of the lord must be transmitted to the Army Department first, and they can only be issued after review and approval."

Xi Zhong glanced at Yang Fan and explained.

Yang Fan's move weakened his power, but it could allow the Yang family army to execute the correct orders. There was such a person in the world. Xi Zhong couldn't see through Yang Fan for a while.

"What?"

Gao Shun and Guan Yu were shocked, and then looked at Yang Fan with disbelief.

"It's nothing to be surprised about. People will have impulsive moments. It is natural for them to be angry. I don't want to issue wrong orders when I'm angry, so I set up the Army Department to check and balance my power."

Yang Fan then smiled freely.

Yang Fan's words were deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts. Everyone in the room looked at Yang Fan with admiration. Everyone was glad to be able to follow such a wise and powerful lord.

"Who is the Minister of the Army?"

Gao Shun asked again.

"The lord himself serves as a part-time job!"

Xi Zhong replied.

After hearing Xi Zhong's answer, Gao Shun breathed a little relieved. The Army Department has too much power. To be honest, not everyone can do this position as the minister. If Yang Fan himself was the one, everyone would have no objection.

"What's the reserve?"

After Gao Shun and the big guys asked questions, He Yi quickly asked him out of his doubts.

"The main responsibility of the Yang Family Army's reserve service is to recruit young and strong people in our army's jurisdiction, train in peacetime, and supplement casualties from various war battalions during wartime, so as to ensure that our army is fully equipped and deal with all emergencies no matter when it is at all times."

Xun You explained.

In fact, when Yang Fan mentioned this reserve, they didn't understand why. Later, after Yang Fan's explanation, they deeply admired Yang Fan's carefulness. Even the shoes on the soldiers' feet were covered with quilts at night. How could such a leader not be loved by the soldiers? This is one of the important reasons why Xun You and others have been following Yang Fan wholeheartedly.

Then Xi Zhong and Xun You and the other two kept explaining the responsibilities of each department, and at the same time they also answered questions for their colleagues who did not understand. During this period, the heads of each department were also finalized. Xi Zhong was the director of the General Staff Headquarters of the Yang Family Army, with members including Xun You, Guo Jia and 20 poor students who had just graduated from Huashaoshan Military Academy; Tian Feng was the director of the Political Affairs Department of the Yang Family Army, and the members were transferred 30 loyal Dubian officers from the Yang Family Army to serve as the director; Zhang Shiping was still the director of the Yang Family Army; He Yi was the director of the Yang Family Army, and He Man assisted; Ju Su was the director of the Yang Family Army; Yang Family Army's Public Security Department continued to be led by Yang Feng.

The meeting started from early morning until night, and finally Yang Fan finalized the positions of the various battle camps.

Zhang Liao's Beidaying was stationed in Jiuyuan City, Wuyuan County; Guan Yu's Dongdaying was stationed in Mayi County, Yanmen County; Huang Zhong's Nandaying was stationed in Huguan, Shangdang County; Zhao Yun's Xidaying was stationed in Shangjun; Gao Shun's Zhongdaying was stationed in Jinyang City.

The next day, early morning.

The generals of the Yang family army left Jinyang City one after another, returned to their respective garrisons, and began drastic reforms. First, the four major battle camps of Jifeng Camp, Xunjie Camp, Feiyu Camp, and Fenwei Camp were disbanded, and then the troops were replenished.

During this period, there was also an interesting thing that made you laugh and cry. Zhao Yun, the seemingly honest young man, moved directly into Zhang Shiping's home and invited He Yi to dinner every day, so he forced him to get the equipment and soldiers first.
