"Next, let's solve the second problem: the government army is weak and the garrisons are in disrepair!" Zhang Jing looked at everyone and said slowly.
The garrison commanders present were on pins and needles. They were in charge of the garrisons and knew their weaknesses better than anyone else.
The government troops are not only weak in strength, they are simply terrible!
The garrisons are not only in disrepair, they are simply useless!
The officers and soldiers of the garrison only bullied the common people. When fighting against the Japanese pirates, they were defeated nine out of ten times, and in one battle they were completely wiped out.
When they heard Zhang Jing say that he wanted to solve the problem of the government army's lack of strength, they suddenly became nervous. They didn't know how Zhang Jing was going to solve the problem, and whether he would be able to solve them instead of the government army and the garrisons.
"First of all, the garrisons must hurry up and correct and put an end to those who falsely report troops and fill in the numbers with the old, weak, sick and disabled. This governor will give you all one month to correct yourselves. As long as the rectification is done, this governor will forgive the past! However, this governor warns you not to falsify information. In one month, this governor will conduct random inspections in various garrisons at irregular intervals. If you find that there are still false reports of troops and fill in the numbers with the old, weak, sick and disabled, this governor will punish them severely. The emperor has given this governor the power to execute first and report later. When the knife is on your neck, don't blame this governor for not warning you!"
"At the same time, we must strictly train the garrison officers and soldiers, improve their military equipment, and enhance their combat effectiveness and strength!"
Zhang Jing glanced at the garrison commanders with a stern look on his face and spoke in a stern voice.
"Don't worry, Governor. We will reorganize the garrison when we return and will not disappoint you!" After hearing Zhang Jing's words, the nervous garrison commanders breathed a sigh of relief. This was great. Governor Zhang gave them a chance to save themselves and reform themselves, which meant that the Governor had no intention of solving the problem by solving their own problems.
"Of course, it takes time to train the soldiers of the garrisons and improve their combat effectiveness. It is no longer possible to deal with the increasingly severe Japanese invasion. Therefore, this governor has transferred 6,000 spearmen from Shandong, and a total of 14,000 wolf soldiers from the chieftains of Guangxi, the 'Tianzhou Wa Army', 'Si'en Army', 'East Lanzhou Army', 'Yongshun Army', 'Baojing Army', etc. Among them, the Tianzhou Wa Army is the main force of the wolf soldiers, with more than 6,000 wolf soldiers! The 20,000 guest soldiers have also arrived. With these 20,000 elite guest soldiers as the spearhead and the soldiers of the garrisons in various places as the solid rock, we can quell the current Japanese invasion!" Zhang Jing said slowly, with a look of confidence on his face.
"Your Excellency the Governor is wise." Everyone praised.
"A bad soldier is as good as a bad general. Good soldiers need good generals to lead them! I am going to hand over these 20,000 foreign troops to General Lu Tong, General Tang Kekuan, General Yu Dayou, General Li Fengshi, and General Zou Jifang. Do you have any objections?"
Zhang Jing looked around at everyone and asked for their opinions.
"No objection." Zhu Ping'an and others replied. Who would have any objection at this time? Even if there was any, they would keep it to themselves.
"Thank you for your trust, Governor. We will repay your trust with our lives! We will go through fire and water, and we will not hesitate to do so!"
Lu Tong, Tang Kekuan, Yu Dayou and other generals named by Zhang Jing stood up one after another and expressed their opinions with excited faces and clasped their fists.
"very good."
Zhang Jing nodded in satisfaction, and then began to make specific assignments, "General Li Fengshi, General Zou Jifang, come forward and listen to my orders!"
"I am here!" Li Fengshi and Zou Jifang clasped their fists and stood up and stepped forward.
"There are six thousand Shandong spearmen. You two will each command three thousand and be stationed in Nanzhili!" Zhang Jing gave the order.
"promise!"
Li Fengshi and Zou Jifang clasped their fists and accepted the order.
"General Lu Tong, General Tang Kekuan, and General Yu Dayou, come forward and listen to my orders!" Zhang Jing continued to call on his generals.
"I am here!" Lu Tong, Tang Kekuan and Yu Dayou stepped forward and responded in unison.
"There are 14,000 wolf soldiers, 2,000 of which will serve as my personal guards. The remaining 12,000 wolf soldiers will be commanded by the three of you, each commanding 4,000 wolf soldiers! Lu Tong will be stationed in Nanzhili, and Tang Kekuan and Yu Dayou will be stationed in Zhejiang!"
Zhang Jing gave the order.
"Yes!" Lu Tong, Tang Kekuan and Yu Dayou clasped their fists and accepted the order.
"I'm placing the foreign troops under your command because I trust your ability to lead. Please don't let me down!"
Zhang Jing said to Lu Tong, Yu Dayou and others.
"A scholar will die for his confidant. The governor trusts us, and we will repay him with our life!" Lu Tong, Yu Dayou and others expressed their opinions.
"Very good. Later, I will take you to the guest soldiers' camp and assign the corresponding guest soldiers to you. You must take on the important task of training and running-in the guest soldiers. I will be of great use to you in the later stage." Zhang Jing nodded.
"Thank you, Governor-General!" Lu Tong, Yu Dayou and others clasped their fists.
"We have the soldiers and the generals, so the next thing is command. We cannot be scattered and fight on our own. Not only will we fail to destroy the Japanese pirates, but we will also give them the opportunity to defeat them one by one! His Majesty has appointed me as the governor to lead the suppression of the Japanese pirates in Jiangnan. So, from today on, no matter whether it is Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places, no matter how big or small, the military command power will be returned to me, and I will be in charge of the unified command!" This time, Zhang Jing looked at Tu Dashan, Zhu Pingan and other governors, and said with a burning gaze.
This is to take away the governor's military command power.
After hearing this, Zhu Pingan couldn't help but frowned. Military command power is the most important power of the governor! Nothing else! If the military command power is taken away, then he, the governor of Zhejiang, will not be worthy of the title! Just when Zhu Pingan was about to speak, he heard Tu Dashan, the Lord Tu, speak beside him.
"Governor, we are also the governors appointed by the emperor. We are in charge of the local areas, the three departments, and the military. If the governor takes away all our military command, then we are not worthy of the title of governor, and we have also violated the will of the emperor. We are the parents of a province under the emperor's order. How can we sit idly by and watch the Japanese pirates wreak havoc in the country?"
Tu Dashan used to be a governor-general. Now he came to Nanzhili to serve as the governor. He was lower than Zhang Jing and was deprived of the military command power. Naturally, he was dissatisfied. He started to object almost as soon as Zhang Jing finished speaking.
"You are the governors appointed by the emperor, and I am the governor-general appointed by the emperor! If you fight on your own and don't obey orders, then what's the point of me being the governor-general!" Zhang Jing looked at Tu Dashan with burning eyes.
After finishing speaking, Zhang Jing looked at Zhu Ping'an and asked by name, "Master Xiao Zhu, do you have any objection to this?"
"Governor, you are the governor appointed by His Majesty. You should command the military affairs of Jiangnan!"
Zhu Pingan spoke slowly.
"Good!" Zhang Jing nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.
After hearing this, Tu Dashan immediately turned his head and looked at Zhu Ping'an, his face full of disdain and dissatisfaction towards Zhu Ping'an!
"Hmph! You're so young but you've got osteomalacia!" Tu Dashan snorted and mocked Zhu Ping'an on the spot.
