Practice begins with the awakening of the possessed old devil

"It's better to just abandon the city and surrender, and the safety of the people in the city can be kept safe," Zhifu Li replied without thinking too much.

"How can there be eggs under the overturned nest, and how can the people of a subjugated country protect themselves?"

"My lord Li, you can't just hope that when the city is destroyed, you will surrender to protect yourself."

"If you meet an unreasonable and brutal barbarian general, I will cut off your head without saying a word."

"Or if you indulge the soldiers to plunder the whole city, is there any point in showing weakness and surrender?" Ni Qi asked rhetorically.

"Mr. Fu is right. Surrender may not be able to survive."

Li Zhifu's expression was gloomy for a while, and he couldn't help asking Ni Qi: "Then according to my son, what should we do to remedy it?"

"Master Li, how about this, you make me a town general."

"I immediately invested in recruiting a large number of government soldiers, purchasing armor and weapons, collecting food and grass, and immediately stepped up training."

"In order to prepare for the day when the country is destroyed in the future, we can strengthen our Jiangling City's self-protection power, and we can deal more with the barbarian army on the grassland. What do you think?"

"Young Master Fu, are you really willing to fund the recruitment and training of soldiers in this government?" Li Zhifu asked again as if he was not sure.

"It's natural, there is no joke in the army, you let me go and give me military power, I will spend all my money to recruit and train the army, how about it?" Ni Qi vowed.

"Okay, Mr. Fu has a heart!"

Li Zhifu has already broken the can and smashed it, and has let the military power of this government go unchecked for a long time.

Because recruiting and training consumes the most silver taels, buying equipment and armor, and rations for the army...all of them cost money like water.

These local officials knew that they couldn't afford it, so they reduced the local military, and reduced it again and again.

Now there is a bully who is willing to spend money to recruit soldiers for the government government to train. Naturally, he couldn't ask for it, so he handed over all the military power to Ni Qi, known as the general of the government soldiers.

"Then there will be Mr. Lao Fu. I will hand over all the power of the government's garrison to you, and let you do whatever you want."

Ni Qi easily locked up the military power of the prefecture with Li Yinglong and Li Zhifu. He was overjoyed and came to the military camp with the general seal.

When I rushed to the barracks, I found that although the barracks were located in the city, they were dilapidated, and there were only more than 3000 old, weak, sick and disabled, and it was said that there were [-] elite soldiers.

Originally, the military power was also in the hands of the magistrate, and there was a left and right commander, who directly controlled the military power of the barracks.

Now that Ni Qi has taken over the military power, he immediately told the two capitals to call all the troops together, carry out routine procedures, give lectures on the spot, and rectify.

This is to get acquainted in front of the army first, so that everyone knows that Ni Qi will be the supreme commander of the entire army from now on.

Immediately took out another 10 taels of silver, and first asked the two commanders to lead people to post the announcement of the soldiers.

He also appointed competent and shrewd soldiers to purchase grain and grass, manufacture military horse equipment and armor, and at the same time repair and expand the barracks.

So the vigorous recruiting operation began, and even those idle rogues, hooligans, and homeless vagabonds in the market forcibly gave priority to arresting the strong men.

As well as the prisoners in the prison, Ni Qi first selected a batch to be exiled into the army.

Select the most vicious ones who are not afraid of death, and set up death camps in a centralized manner.

Everything is in order and in full swing.

He decided to recruit [-] soldiers and horses first. Anyway, the treasure bag is full of gold and silver treasures, and it is useless to keep them if they are not used.

Good steel must be used wisely, and money must be used to the best of its ability. Now is a great time to vigorously develop our own military power.

In troubled times, only military power can guarantee everything, self-protection and self-reliance, supporting the real dragon emperor... anything is possible.

He also selected eight most prestigious sergeants, promoted and appointed Dutong, and established a total of ten Dutongs.

Then he just took care of everything, paid and assigned ten of his subordinates to be responsible for various specific affairs.

Those who recruit troops are responsible for conscription, those who train are responsible for training, those who manufacture armor equipment manufacture armor equipment, those who purchase food and grass purchase grain and grass, and those who expand the barracks expand the barracks...

Ni Qi worked her way up and down, doing her best.

He rescued Sima Ru from the prison and took him under control.

Then he was appointed as an official with the army, with full authority to manage the financial revenue and expenditure accounts and logistical support of the entire army.

As long as King Chen Yang recovers, he can be appointed as his deputy, and he can command the whole army when he is not around.

You must know that King Chen Yang was originally a national hero who fought against the Tartars in the grassland, and he was also a folk hero without military status and military power.

Because of the defeat and serious injury, he fled to Jiangling Mansion.

Only Wei Changfeng is still free-range, and Ni Qi has no plan to arrange him in the military camp, but will arrange him elsewhere in the future.

The expansion and training of Ni Qi's soldiers is in full swing.

At the same time, the first person in power of the military camp began to be cultivated by his cronies, and firmly grasped the entire military power.

Except for the original two, all ten were promoted by Ni Qi himself.

In addition to the daily expenses, expenses, food and grass, rewards, military noise...all are supported by Ni Qi, and the treatment of the army is quite generous.

Naturally, he won the support of the whole army, and soon became popular among the people, firmly grasping the military power.

The whole army has long forgotten that Li Zhifu, a scholar who does not pay attention to military affairs, ignores the army, shows little kindness to everyone, only talks, and is useless.

However, Ni Qi just took advantage of the loophole, and he was in control.

On this day, Li Zhifu led his followers into the barracks, and saw that the barracks had a new look and a magnificent momentum.

There were even no less than [-] government soldiers in the camp, practicing vigorously.

It really turned upside down overnight, it's almost unbelievable.

He was also very relieved and very happy.

After seeing Ni Qi, he immediately read the official order of the imperial court and the Ministry of War for the general of Ni Qi's army.

After reading the letter of appointment, Zhifu Li said to Ni Qi: "A few days ago, I made a concrete application to the imperial court and the Ministry of War for the appointment of you as the general of the army."

"Both the imperial court and the Ministry of War greatly appreciated the young master's righteous deeds, and immediately approved and allowed my report."

"Today, as expected, the official appointment edict of the young master has been issued. Congratulations, young master, congratulations, young master!"

Ni Qi made a false oath and said: "It all depends on your adult beauty and kindness, Mr. Li. The young general will never forget it."

"In the future, for Master Li, I will not hesitate to go to Tangtang to step on the fire at the end."

"Master Li, if there is anything you can do for the young general, please do not hesitate to ask."

"How dare you, how dare you, in the future, I want you to speak nice words for me in front of your father, Mr. Fu."

Li Zhifu waved his hands, pretending not to dare: "As the saying goes, it is good to enjoy the shade under a big tree, and someone in the court is good to be an official."

After Li Zhifu left, Ni Qi arranged for Chen Yangwang, who had only recovered from his illness and was more than half recovered, to live in the barracks.
