Chapter 540: Reorganizing the Taiping Army

On the afternoon of December 1st, Lin Fengxiang’s mansion.

Ouyang Shuo summoned the main generals of the Taiping Army in the main hall to discuss the reorganization of the army.

Before the meeting began, the atmosphere in the entire lobby was a bit solemn.

First, shortly after the king issued the first imperial edict, the second imperial edict was issued.

The imperial decree states that from now on, the city of Tianjing will be handed over to the Imperial Guard Division and two independent mountain barbarian divisions. All the 100,000 Taiping Army stayed in the barracks and were not allowed to go out for no reason.

Anyone with discerning eyes knows that if Taiping Army and others are hung up.

Second, the landmark building of Tianjing City, the Heavenly Palace, is being ruthlessly demolished. Whether it is the generals close to Yang Xiuqing or the mortal enemy of Hong Xiuquan who is hidden in the army, they are all worried about this.

Against this background, Ouyang Shuo summoned all the generals, which meant that it was unusual.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the generals had already gathered, but they had been waiting in the main hall for an hour before Ouyang Shuo came late. Behind Ouyang Shuo, there were two powerful generals, Lin Yi and Shi Hu.

In addition, there is another person, Yang Xiuqing.

Before summoning the generals, Ouyang Shuo met Yang Xiuqing alone. The two had a secret conversation for more than an hour. After the discussion, Ouyang Shuo came out to meet other generals.

When Ouyang Shuo did this, he was naturally giving eye drops to all Taiping generals, polishing their sharpness, and making them realize clearly who is the master in Tianjing City now.

Compared to the routine meeting on the first day, Ouyang Shuo suddenly became majestic at this time. The bright light armor on his body and the red-shao sword on his waist added a bit of killing energy to him.

In the battle of Guiping Pass, Ouyang Shuo obtained a strange adventure and entered an epiphany. The sword technique of killing swords was instantly improved to the fourth level [Job Proficient], and he even understood the sword intent of killing swords and the sixth sword move [Civil Life Killing] in one fell swoop.

As a result, the Shura murderous aura condensed in Ouyang Shuo's previous life and the newly generated killing aura in this life were completely integrated with the sword intent of the killing sword, and were integrated and round.

The newly generated killing aura is less bloody, more majesty, and more pure.

More importantly, Ouyang Shuo can control this killing aura freely and send and receive it from the heart. He is not exposed to the outside world at ordinary times, and only when Ouyang Shuo urges it will rush towards a specific person.

At this time, the six Taiping generals in the lobby felt the pressure that could not be seen. In an instant, some generals were already sweating in cold sweat and couldn't help but feel shocked.

With this alone, Ouyang Shuo completely subverted. The day before yesterday, his gentle image when he met all civil and military officials showed the generals his iron-blooded and tough side.

"Everyone." Ouyang Shuo looked around and said, "You are all commanders, so you should naturally know the importance of ordering to leave a sect. Since you surrendered to Shanhai City, the divisions you led should naturally be unified in accordance with the organization of Shanhai City. What do you think?"

As soon as the words finished, the lobby was silent.

The generals in the hall looked at each other, feeling distressed in their hearts. The moment they surrendered, they thought that there would be a day of reorganization, but they didn't expect that this day would come so quickly and so suddenly.

But they had no way to refute it.

After all, it is common practice to accept reorganization of surrendered troops.

Except for Yang Xiuqing, two of these six generals are Shi Dakai's left and right deputy generals, two are the main generals and deputy generals of the 50,000 garrison in Tianjing City, and the other two are the generals of the local garrison troops.

Among the six people, the one with the least say was the two local garrison generals. The local garrison troops who came to serve the king from all over the country were only 30,000, and they were all ordinary soldiers, and their combat power was worrying.

But one of the two was named Lin Qirong, who was the loyal man of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan. Ouyang Shuo had decided to remove this person directly after the meeting.

The remaining one, named Yang Fuqing, is insignificant. If he was tactful, Ouyang Shuo would not mind and support this person as the leader of the local garrison troops.

Although the current leader is no longer of great significance.

Although Shi Dakai resigned from his army and traveled for a long time, his left and right deputy generals were actually firmly controlling the remnants of the 20,000 Western Route Army. This unit was able to successfully protect Shi Dakai from breaking out among the thousands of troops, which shows that his strength was really the elite among the 200,000 Western Route Army elite troops.

Shi Dakai's left general, named Hu Yihuang, had already clearly told Yang Xiuqing that he was willing to surrender to Shanhai City. The Military Information Department and the Black Snake Guard did not detect any abnormalities of this person, so there should be no major problems.

Yang Xiuqing was able to successfully take over the army, and Hu Yihuang made great contributions.

As for the right general, named Shi Zhenji, his attitude is a bit ambiguous. Shi Zhenji is not the loyalty of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, but Shi Dakai's loyalty, and what's more serious is that he is Shi Dakai's clan brother.

Although Shi Dakai voluntarily withdrew from the shocking competition, in Shi Zhenji's eyes, he thought it was Yang Xiuqing who forced his clan brother away.

Therefore, Shi Zhenji naturally had a grudge against Yang Xiuqing. In addition, Shi Zhenji did not have much favoritism towards Shanhaicheng, and even had a hint of resistance.

For Shi Zhenji, Ouyang Shuo still focuses on winning over. First, Shi Zhenji, as the clan of Shi Dakai, has a very high prestige in the Western Army. If he takes over Shi Dakai's squad, second, considering that there is still the possibility of winning over Shi Dakai in the future, Ouyang Shuo naturally knows to stay at the forefront of doing things.

As for the 50,000 troops in Tianjing, it is also an elite force. Otherwise, Hong Xiuquan would not have been assured to hand over the base camp to this force to guard.

The main general of the 50,000 troops was named Zeng Tianyang and the deputy general was named Qin Rigang. Zeng Tianyang was a veteran and also the loyalty of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan. However, this person was a sleek and sleek man, and knew that things could not be done. On the surface, he succumbed to Yang Xiuqing's leadership, but in fact he had always been ill-intentioned.

Therefore, Zeng Tianyang is also the most unstable factor among the 100,000 Taiping Army. As the chief general of the Tianjing City garrison, his control over this army is more than better than Yang Xiuqing.

In addition, this person is an old fox. On the surface, he is extremely respectful to Yang Xiuqing, which makes people unable to find any fault and is very supportive of the soldiers in the army.

Once Ouyang Shuo uses strong power to Zeng Tianyang, it may cause a mutiny to the soldiers in the army.

As for the deputy general Qin Rigang, he was Yang Xiuqing's confidant. It was precisely because of Qin Rigang that Zeng Tianyang did not dare to lead his troops to rebel, allowing Yang Xiuqing to take over the garrison in Tianjing.

It has to be said that the Military Information Department was indeed a great move to win over Yang Xiuqing. Only people like Yang Xiuqing can not only examine the degree, but also have an inappreciable influence in both the military and political circles of Tianjing.

If it were someone else, it would be difficult to do this.
