Chen De hurried to the south gate tower of Jinling. When Hu Ze, the Duke of Yu of Tiande, saw him, he said, "I am sending someone to the city to invite you, come and see if the soldiers below are your subordinates?"

As soon as Chen De leaned out of the city gate tower, he was seen by the sharp-eyed soldiers, and shouted excitedly: "The Commander is here." Then he leaned over to see the great ceremony. Chen De saw Xin Gu and Xiao Jiu were also inside, dusty and ragged. The blood splashed on his body just now. Many soldiers around him simply bandaged their wounds. He couldn't help but feel sad. He turned around and shouted at Hu Ze, "These are my brothers, open the city gate quickly." After that, he ran down the city tower. Without waiting for the city gate to be completely opened, he walked out a few steps. Without saying a word, Xin Gu and Xiao Jiu and the other two first.

Then he hugged him tightly for a few times, then looked at all the soldiers in Jinfan who looked at him and said, "Chen De is not considerate, please come and surrender. Chen De is here to apologize to everyone. Today I swore in public that I will never leave my brothers in this life and make wealth together!" He pulled out an arrow and turned it into two sections, saluted several military salutes to the surrounding soldiers, Xiao Jiu said, "Kill us." Many soldiers of Jinfan were even more excited and burst into tears. Many soldiers of the God Guards in the distance showed envy when they saw this. Sogdian merchant Kang Qudagan looked at him from a distance, with a complicated look on his face.

Xiao Jiu was about to speak to Chen De, and Chen De waved his hand and said, "What's the matter going back to the mansion? The two brothers and the soldiers will rest well before they can say it." Li Shun behind Xiao Jiu came out and laughed, "General Chen, you are not wearing boots."

Chen De then looked down and found that in a hurry, he was only wearing a pair of thick-soled cloth socks and rushed out, and couldn't help but smile. Xiao Jiu said with a sigh: "Mr. Chen regards us as brothers and sisters, how can you not repay us?"

Chen De waved his hand and said, "Doesn't this seem like Chen and Wu Qi who is sucking carbuncles? Chen only wants to fight with all the brothers." He looked around and said, "I'll talk to you in detail when I return to the mansion."

So Chen De took everyone back to the mansion located in the city. Li Yu deliberately favored him, so the mansion he rewarded was extremely generous, and it did not seem particularly crowded if he lived in more than 300 people. Chen De ordered his personal soldiers to burn a big pot of mutton to reward his newly arrived comrades, but he pulled Xin Gu Xiaojiu and others to discuss in secret.

After hearing Xin Gu's experience of being excluded in Chizhou, Chen De slammed the table and said angrily: "You Yan bullied me too much, and I will definitely fight for my eyes in the future." Then he smiled at the two of them and said: "Damage is the basis of good fortune. I was the first to control the Divine Guard Army. I felt that my subordinates lacked talents, and the two brothers fell from the sky. Isn't this God bless me?" He said words like Tianyou without any scruples, which was a very taboo thing, because the destiny of heaven can only be with the emperor alone, and ordinary generals can only say Tianyou's army at most, or Tianyou's emperor. Xin Gu is a person outside the border, and he forgets these words after hearing them, but Xiao Jiu's heart skipped a beat and thought to himself: "Is Chen De really a person with great ambition?"

Seeing the two, they were also very happy to reunite. Chen De said again: "The Divine Guard Army currently has more than 10,000 soldiers. I want to reorganize them into four armies in front, back, left and right according to the military system. Each army has a total of 2,500 battalions. What do you think?"

Xin Gu trained soldiers alone in Chizhou this time, but he had some experience and frowned: "The first army has only more than 2,000 people. The strength is too weak. If you encounter a strong enemy, it will be difficult to protect yourself. If the first army's post is increased to 5,000, then the strength will be greatly enhanced. Even if you encounter a large number of strong enemies, you can hold on for a while." Xiao Jiu looked at Chen De nervously, without a doubt, with his status and Xin Gu, he must lead the army. Xin Gu's suggestion sounds like a ***** to those who are interested. He wants to increase his power and is easily suspicious of Shangguan.

Unexpectedly, Chen De thought about it and said, "Xin Gu's words were reasonable. Li Ling of the Han Dynasty led 5,000 Han soldiers to fight against 100,000 cavalry for a long time, which means that 5,000 people are suitable for forming their own army. Then, the Shenwei Army was reorganized into left and right armies, and then 500 warriors were simply drawn as my Ya military camp. I hope Xin Gu will command the left army, Xiao Jiu will command the right army, and Li Si will serve as the Ya military camp. Each army will train four long spear battalions to facilitate frontal field battles, and then three knife and shield battalions to protect the flanks of the long spear battalions. In addition,

Three more crossbow battalions are trained to deal with the enemy's harassment. What do you think?" Seeing that both of them nodded with relief, Chen De smiled slightly and said, "However, the generals of the Divine Guard Army are unruly. In order to smoothly reorganize the army, I have announced the method of winning the military battle. The centurion elects the captain and the commander of the army. You two are no exception. If you want to take office as the commander of the army immediately, you must participate in the competition to win the officials, and there must be enough subordinates to seize the position of the centurion."

When Xiao Jiu heard this, he looked a little frowning, but Xin Gu said carelessly: "This method is very fair. I haven't loosened my muscles and bones for a long time." His tone was very relaxed.

Chen De smiled and said, "If you have confidence, I will feel at ease." He said to Xiao Jiu again, "Even if this time is not smoother than me, it's nothing. I will appoint you as the Yuhou of the Right Army. Whether you can subdue the Right Army in the future depends on your ability. Both of you are with me as brothers, and you will never treat them badly."

Xiao Jiu nodded, and Chen De said again: "Today, two personal soldiers were tempted by wealthy businessmen, and they actually told me that they wanted to leave the army and become caravan guards. It really gave me a headache."

Xin Gu remembered Kang Qu Dagan's recruitment of him and bowed his head and said nothing. Xiao Jiu said angrily: "This kind of person who forgets the righteousness should really be responsible. How should the commander punish the two of them?"

Chen De smiled and said, "Since these two people are greedy for the enjoyment of money and silk, how can I stay with them? I will go with them. But I have to think of a way to prevent the soldiers in the army from being easily bribed."

Xiao Jiu was stunned and said, "As the saying goes, money can help the gods. Ordinary soldiers have lived a life of licking blood on their swords. They are nothing more than retiring and returning home to have food and clothing." Xin Gu nodded. Although he refused Kang Qu Dagan's invitation, he knew that most of the soldiers would definitely follow the side of giving them generous treatment.

Chen De nodded and said, "It is common for people to hate labor, be greedy for leisure and happiness, and to look for wealth and honor. It is difficult for people to expect soldiers to be completely free of temptation. However, if this is the case, the morale of the army will inevitably be disintegrated and it is difficult to cultivate a truly invincible iron army."

Seeing Xiao Jiu and Xin Gu looking at him in confusion, Chen De said everything he thought carefully in the government office after the two personal soldiers had just stepped aside: "I think the soldiers in the army can be roughly divided into two types. One is to regard joining the army as a means of making a living, or even forced to join the army, and the other is to regard joining the army as a shortcut to enter the world. For these two types of people, we must let them know that it is not wrong to each achieve wealth through courage, but we must not betray or betray the comrades. This is the bottom line for being a human being in our Jinfan Army. Then, for the first type of people, now the annual salary of the soldiers in our army has reached fifty trump cards, and when they return home, they will give them 200 trump cards of money to settle down, which is enough for them to have no worries. The key is for the latter type of people."

Speaking of this, Chen De looked at the two people on the opposite side thoughtfully, as if he wanted to see through all the two people's thoughts. Xiao Jiu couldn't stand it and bowed and said, "What should we do to the latter kind of people? Please give me some instructions."

Chen De nodded and said, "The wealth is moving. The annual salary of ordinary soldiers in our army is 50 guan. Although it is higher than that of ordinary soldiers, it is not enough to inspire morale. I am preparing to increase the salary of soldiers. The level of combat skills of soldiers is divided into five levels. The annual salary of the first level is 200 guan, and the number of soldiers accounts for one percent of the total number of soldiers. The annual salary of the second level is 150 guan, and the number of soldiers accounts for four percent of the total number of soldiers. The annual salary of the third level is 80 guan, and the number of soldiers accounts for two stops of the total number of soldiers. The annual salary of the fourth level is 70 guan, and the number of soldiers accounts for about four stops of the total number of soldiers. The annual salary of the last level is 50 guan, and the number of soldiers accounts for about three stops of the total number of soldiers." He considered this method of increasing salary based on soldiers' combat skills for a long time, so he said it without fighting in one breath.

Xiao Jiu was dumbfounded and listened to Chen De's series of numbers and asked: "The military pay in this year may be greatly increased. Where can the general get the extra money?"

Chen De smiled and said, "I have calculated that the number of soldiers who can reach the first and second level will never be large. If the salary increases in this way, ten thousand soldiers will only need to increase their military salary by about 500,000 yuan a year." He laughed and said, "After receiving the Divine Guard Army, I happened to make a small fortune and can use it here."

Xiao Jiu said again: "Isn't the salary of the first-class soldiers higher than that of the captain and the centurion?"

Chen De smiled and said, "That's true. Some people have excellent martial arts skills, but they are not suitable for leading soldiers. If these people receive a salary similar to ordinary soldiers, they will be sorry for their guns and sticks."

Xiao Jiu nodded, and Xin Gu even praised loudly: "It should be like this!"

Chen De stopped them with a smile and said, "Not only that, in order to encourage the soldiers to serve in the army for a long time, I plan to increase the annual salary of ten jin for every one more year in the army. Also, I want to increase the annual salary of a centurion to two hundred jin, the annual salary of a lieutenant to four hundred jin, and the annual salary of a military commander to one thousand jin."

Xin Gu and Xiao Jiu were dumbfounded when they heard this, and Xiao Jiu shouted: "Did you think of the way to prevent people from buying soldiers, to give them more money!"

Chen De smiled and said in a deep voice: "It's not only that, but in today's chaotic times, as long as the troops are strong and the thousands of gold are gone, they will come back again. Only by being rich in the world can you win the hearts of heroes in the world." Xiao Jiu was so scared that he couldn't speak for a moment. As soon as he finished speaking, Xin Gu suddenly asked, "Chen Dalang, are you going to be the emperor?"

Chen De was stunned and then smiled and said, "I don't want to be the emperor, it's enough to be a general. When Zhao Kuangyin released his military power with a cup of wine, he said a heartfelt saying, 'Being the emperor is better than being a governor. I have never lie down at night.' Others only see the emperor's overwhelming power, and use the world's wealth to provide for his own luxury, and use the world's women to provide for his own lust, but they don't see the emperor's sleep every night, and they have to be careful of others' pursuit of the country day and night. It's not interesting."

Xin Gu looked at him in disbelief and said, "Maybe your idea will be different from today. But I agreed that if you become the emperor, I won't let me perform the three-kneel and nine-button ceremony to you."

Chen De looked at the Khitan barbarian with some angrily and said half-jokingly: "Of course. I will never be the emperor. Otherwise, I will swear by the arrows and if I can slaughter the world in the future, I will share it with you." Xiao Jiu was so scared that he said: "This is not possible. If you really have that day, won't we be able to live?"

Seeing that Xin Xiao and the others didn't believe it, Chen De thought that he and he were just talking about the king and emperor casually, which was too ruthless. So he coughed and changed the subject: "I want to establish an organization in the army, called the Brotherhood, which is specially used to absorb loyal and talented soldiers to participate, and to test their character on a daily basis for the promotion of confidant soldiers."

Xin and Xiao knew that he was worried that his personal soldiers would be bought by someone, so they immediately expressed their approval. Xiao Jiu frowned and said, "How should we select soldiers to join the Brotherhood?"

Chen De pondered: "I am urgent to follow the power of things. Now I can temporarily recommend the method of joint seats. For example, you and I are currently veterans in the society. Then we can recommend two trustworthy people to join the society. A year later, this brother can also recommend two people to join the society. If there is a problem with my recommendation of this brother in the future, then the recommendation person will be the same as him."

Xiao Jiu said: "Although this method is safe, is it too slow?"

Chen De said decisively: "Since you are choosing the center of the army, you would rather be short than excessive."

On the afternoon of the second day, Xin Gu and Xiao Jiu, together with more than 100 people brought out from Chizhou, Chen De participated in the competition of the Divine Guard Army to seize officials. They were trained elites. Twenty-seven people actually won the position of centurion of the capital. Chen De secretly called luck in his heart, so he arranged the 27 people in each battalion in a group, so as to ensure that the people from Jinfan Army who were born in the Jinfan Army were given the position of the lieutenant. In the election of the front and rear army, he won over several lieutenants from the Divine Guard Army, and successfully made Xin Gu and Xiao Jiu become the commander of the army. The commonly used company controls

As soon as the method of using fewer and more was used, the original generals of the Shenwei Army shouted that Chen Du Yuhou was simply cunning, but many soldiers below were secretly happy. One story about Xin Gu and Xiao Jiu fighting against the Song cavalry at the city gate was so amazing, especially Xin Gu, who was regarded as Chi You's reincarnation by the soldiers. They had nothing to say to the generals. After all, the Song cavalry blocked the city gate and cursed for a day but did not see anyone rushing out to fight. Two stories about the soldiers knew that these two were Chen De's right-hand man, and they were the commander of the army. Naturally, there was no need to worry about the unfair treatment of our army.
