"I think it's up to you to take charge of your existing garrisons. At the same time, due to the massive invasion of Shanyue Kingdom, we need a large number of troops to drive Shanyue Kingdom away, so the division headquarters allows you to recruit soldiers at the garrison. Of course, due to the lack of materials and money in the division headquarters, you are allowed to collect taxes on your own in the garrisons in order to solve the military expenditure problem."

The school officials present nodded with satisfaction, only a few brigade commanders looked ugly.

Zhao Hu was shocked. The recruitment of soldiers was the Imperial Military Department, and the local tax collection was even more responsible for the local provincial government. These two huge powers were delegated by the division commander? Didn’t the division commander know that he did not have these two powers at all? Not to mention delegating the power!

The brigade commander who pulled Zhao Hu to sit down looked at Zhao Hu with shock and whispered: "Nothing is a big deal. This matter will be discussed a few days ago."

"Have you discussed it?" Zhao Hu couldn't believe that they dared to discuss such a matter that would be exterminated.

"What's the big deal? We brigade commanders have no other direct troops except the guards of the brigade division. Although those brigade commanders have real power, they have no status and dare not commit directly. Since both sides have taken into account, they might as well just pass the brigade like the nobles, and then they will see their own magical powers." The brigade commander smiled.

"Uh, all the corps commanders are here now. Isn't it not enough to detain them..." Zhao Hu said this and suddenly shut up. Because if he did this, the division commander would only benefit, and the brigade commander and others would definitely be thrown aside by the division commander.

The brigade commander glanced at the division commander on the stage and sneered, "Do you think the division commander doesn't want it? Unfortunately, none of the corps commanders are fools. They all brought the troops and detained them? Humph, the provincial capital immediately turned into ruins.

"Maybe we generals and the corps captains will be murdered by the ambitious school officials who are led by the troops below."

Zhao Hu then understood why all the corps gathered in the provincial capital, and no one was a fool. However, Zhao Hu immediately asked strangely: "Does the soldiers' household registration information in the imperial capital have been destroyed, and the soldiers are unscrupulous? In theory, how can such important data be prepared for points, right?"

"Hehe, when the news of the destruction of the Tibetan Pillar Pavilion came out, everyone dared not move. That's because everyone knows that the empire must have data on preparations. However, the latest news spread throughout the empire is: the emperor's bedroom was burned to ashes. If the emperor had not recuperated in other places, he would probably have been burned to death." The brigade commander smiled.

The emperor's bedroom was burned to ashes?

Zhao Hu was stunned. The safest place in the empire is the imperial capital, the safest place in the imperial capital is the imperial palace, and the safest place in the imperial palace is the bedroom. Even the bedroom can be burned? The imperial guards grew up eating shit?

"Haha, I was as shocked as you when I heard this news, but thinking about so many enemies lurking in various departments of the empire, it is not impossible to create such a big incident as long as you find an opportunity."

The brigade commander smiled helplessly and continued, "You also know that the emperor's bedroom contains the most confidential things in the empire. Now that the bedroom is burned, it means that these most confidential things have disappeared. I believe that the military military household registration is also included."

"Well, don't the provincial governments in various places have the provincial military household registration information to store? Just turn over the data."

Zhao Hu still couldn't believe that the entire Imperial Army would rebel with the officers because of household registration.

"Hehe, those data stored by the provincial government? Think about whether the local garrison officers who are already eager to become warlords will let this data exist?" the brigade commander sneered.

Zhao Hu was speechless. The officers were determined to become warlords, and of course they would not allow these data to exist. It seemed that the unrestrained imperial army would soon be transformed into the chief official's private force.

Seeing Zhao Hu's expression, the brigade commander sighed and said, "Don't blame us for dividing Haibin Province. First, we bosses who do not have direct control in their hands cannot restrict and control them, and secondly, it is to be able to resist the enemy's invasion more effectively."

Zhao Hu blinked, not understanding how to resist the enemy's invasion after dividing the Haibin Province.

The brigade commander smiled and said, "Give them their garrison to them and become their territory for their own will. They will definitely fight to the death to resist the enemy. You must know that the dogs who protect their families are the most fierce. Otherwise, the enemy may either escape or surrender before they arrive. This can be regarded as serving the empire."

Zhao Hu widened his eyes. This was simply warlord separatist. The brigade commander obviously knew what Zhao Hu wanted to say, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, such behavior has been warlord separatist. If it were the past, the military police would have arrested us long ago, but now no one cares about it.

"I'm sure that the thirty-two provinces of the entire empire, except for the central province where the imperial capital is located, the other provinces are in a state of warlord separatism. Fortunately, our provinces do not have regular legions, otherwise it would not be our turn to divide them."

Hearing the words of the brigade commander, Zhao Hu secretly thought: War in the empire is approaching, and he brought his confidants back to the Southeast Peninsula. He can do something with his hands and feet and complete the mission of clearing the base.

Seeing Zhao Hu pondering, the brigade commander pondered for a moment and whispered: "Five thousand sets of standard Imperial Army equipment, give me three thousand soldiers baptized by combat."

Zhao Hu was stunned when he heard this. Seeing Zhao Hu's expression, the brigade commander smiled and said, "I think it's too little? I have to discuss it. But you must have three thousand veterans who have fought. I know that your city guards are all veterans who have experienced a bloody battle. Give me three thousand, no, two thousand is fine, even one thousand is fine.

"With these veterans, I can rely on them to defend their territory and bring out a group of new recruits. The price is definitely not a problem, let you speak."

Zhao Hu was very stupid. He heard the tone of the brigade commander. His city guard was like goods. He could sell whatever he wanted.

Zhao Hu, who could not reply immediately, had to say, "Please let the official go back and discuss with his subordinates."

The brigade commander nodded, and then said inadvertently: "You should change now, don't care about colleagues like the Chief of Staff, Gendarmerie, and the Chief of Staff. In this chaotic era, as long as you can hold the soldiers in your hands, they are just your subordinates. Look at which army chief officer and deputy appeared at this meeting?"

Speaking of this, the brigade commander looked arrogant. Although he used to win over his colleagues such as the Chief of Staff into brothers, and he was also loyal to him, and he would discuss with them when he had any problems, but now it is the beginning of a chaotic era. As long as he firmly controls the army, he will be the only one. Those guys can only follow his subordinates. In this way, his weight in the master's heart will become even heavier, right?

The meeting ended soon, and the division commander divided the seaside province into thirty-one pieces, and each brigade leader, including the division commander, had one piece. The brigade leader obtained the entire county government where the resident was located, the division commander obtained the entire provincial capital, and the brigade leader obtained several county governments near the provincial capital.

This time, the division can be said that the territory of the five brigade commanders is the smallest among so many people, but because they are close to the provincial capital and the economy is very developed, the brigade commanders have no objection.

The brigade leader had no objection. The county governments that were unable to take action before fell into their hands. Moreover, they had the right to conscription and taxation. On their territory, they were completely a local emperor who did whatever they wanted, and they absolutely had no objection to this treatment.

Moreover, when I think about being able to recruit troops freely, the jealousy aroused towards Zhao Hu's city guard with tens of thousands of people disappeared completely. Ten thousand people are amazing? I can recruit a division at any time!

This time, the division commander was the most abundant in the division. The entire provincial capital fell into the hands of the division commander. There were too many people and taxes. Moreover, the division commander was not optimistic about the empire and believed that the empire would no longer be responsible for the supplies of the troops below in the future, so he easily obtained the ownership of the allocated materials. Seeing his smirk, I am afraid he had any way to get the supplies.

Among the thirty-one warlords, the new colonel was Zhao Hu, but no one was jealous of him, because Zhao Hu's territory was Jinwen County and only existed on the map, and actually became the three counties of the Shanyue tribe territory.

Zhao Hu, who was in the hands of four counties, received warm congratulations from everyone, but looking at their snickers, you can tell that they were gloating because Jinwen County was occupied by Shanyue, which means that Zhao Hu had no territory at all and was a rootless person. Everyone began to think about how to annex Zhao Hu's city defense team with tens of thousands of people.

Seeing that the brigade commander who was willing to use 5,000 sets of weapons to exchange for 1,000 people suddenly changed his words and directly asked Zhao Hu to allocate 5,000 people to the brigade headquarters to listen to it. Moreover, the other brigade commanders also came forward to say that since Zhao Hu could not support so many subordinates, they were willing to do it for them. Without waiting for Zhao Hu to express his opinion, they had already verbally divided Zhao Hu's 11,000 people.

Seeing these, Zhao Hu couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. These people are a bit too realistic, right?

The division commander next to him laughed in his heart: "You guys are too idiotic, are you? Is it really because of his status as an imperial capital?

"I don't know that Zhao Hu's background is still whining here. I can't support soldiers? Joke, I can rely on profits to support tens of thousands of people by doing business with him alone. He is rich and powerful and still care about these things. I just assigned the four counties to him because I knew he didn't care.
