It's better to be an empress than a county magistrate

Lu Xingchen knew that if he wanted to become bigger and stronger, change was necessary.

"But as our numbers grow, how are you going to command without a hierarchy or a battalion?"

"Now you lead a hundred people, and you can command them with confidence, but what will you do when you have ten thousand people under you?"

"Do you still want to tell each soldier what to do, how to charge, and how to kill the enemy?"

Lu Xingchen’s words made everyone fall into deep thought.

"So this is the army. If there is no strict discipline on the battlefield, it will be a mess. If you lose, you will lose your head."

"With the hierarchy, ordinary soldiers can be promoted to captains if they have made contributions, and captains can be promoted to company captains if they have made contributions."

"The power held by a captain and a company captain is different, so the salary is naturally different."

"This is the only way to give ordinary soldiers hope."

“Hope is the greatest motivation…”

"They will strive to achieve military merit, improve their own rank, and earn their own glory."

"Why would these soldiers risk their lives to fight with us?"

"You can use your prestige to restrain a hundred people, but what about a thousand or ten thousand people? Do you think your prestige can still affect every one of them?"

Once personal interests and expectations for future development are affected, the so-called personal authority cannot withstand challenges.

Of course Lu Xingchen would not forget himself.

"When we are on the march, I am called the commander, and I have the highest command authority."

In addition, she also set up a guard company for herself.

The captain of the guard company is Ling Xiao.

"I know you are not used to it, but this is a change that must be made."

Of course, the appointment of generals also has levels.

The appointment of company-level and battalion-level generals is all controlled by Lu Xingchen himself.

Squad-level generals can be decided by battalion-level generals.

"In addition, there are some rewards and punishments on the battlefield. If you have made contributions, you must be rewarded, and if you make mistakes, you must be punished." Lu Xingchen said, "It is not necessary to make rewards and punishments clear."

Zhang Fan and the others sensed something different.

Lu Xingchen's power seemed to be greater and more concentrated.

It's okay, Lu Xingchen received a different education. The leadership that great man established by reorganizing the army in a small place was based on this principle.

The command of the army must be in our own hands, and we must attack wherever we are directed.

Political power comes from the barrel of a gun.

In front of a powerful army and soldiers, everything is just empty talk.

"Well, it's already quite late today, and we haven't had lunch yet. Everyone go back and have a good meal, and read the things in your hands carefully several times. Think about it carefully."

"Only when you have mastered and understood it can you convey the correct ideas to the soldiers below."

"In two days we will be selecting and starting training..."

Wei Hu and others didn't say anything, they stood up and slowly walked out of the room.

Lu Xingchen's actions seemed to give them power, but also seemed to control them by something.

Lu Feng met Master Liu at the door.

"Mr. Lu, I didn't expect your meeting would last so long." Master Liu said with a smile.

Lu Feng was also thinking about Lu Xingchen's military reorganization.

He threw Master Liu into oblivion.

When I saw Master Liu, I remembered what happened last night.

However, Lu Xingchen's adaptation this time was indeed quite drastic, and he found it difficult to adapt to and accept many things at first.

Although he had the highest rank, he did not have direct combat command.

What he has to manage are the internal affairs and thoughts of the army.

He still has no idea what he is going to do.

"Master Liu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. We have been busy and just finished. Please follow me." Lu Feng took Master Liu to see Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen was a little surprised to see Master Liu.

"Hello, Your Excellency the County Lord." When Master Liu saw Lu Xingchen, he bowed politely.

"It was too late last night, and I didn't have a chance to tell you this morning." Lu Feng explained, "Master Liu wants to surrender."

Lu Xingchen didn't expect this result.

"Okay..." Lu Xingchen said with a smile, "Master Liu is willing to take refuge in Xing County, that's great, I agree with both hands."

Master Liu didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

"Then starting from tomorrow, you will work with Master Guo."

"By the way, your second young lady..."

Lu Xingchen realized something, "Yes, now I can't say I am the second lady of your family."

"Zhou Yuru is also following Master Guo."

"Master Liu, please work with Master Guo. Get familiar with new things first."

"Okay, I will be loyal to the county lord."

"Okay." Lu Xingchen nodded. "As long as you work hard, you will definitely have a future. It's better than following Zhou Shu."

"Well... I still have to write a letter to Lord Zhou to explain the situation here. After all, we are master and servant." There was a hint of request in Master Liu's tone.

"That's as it should be." Lu Xingchen waved his hand casually, "You can write whatever you want, we won't censor it."

Master Liu nodded gratefully.

"Then Brother Lu, please help him arrange a place to live. It seems that there are some empty houses in the county government office." Lu Xingchen looked at Lu Feng and said.

"Okay, leave the rest to me." After Lu Feng finished speaking, he took Master Liu out.

After walking outside, he asked Master Liu to wait for a moment, turned around and came back, closing the door.

"Brother Lu, is there anything I can say?" Seeing Lu Feng close the door, Lu Xingchen must have something to say.

"I want to ask you what I do when I'm in charge of government affairs and ideology?" Lu Feng asked directly without beating around the bush.

Lu Xingchen said, "Government affairs are easy to understand. It's about how many people are under you, their ranks, and some internal affairs, such as what to eat and drink when marching and fighting, and their lives..."

"In addition, the most important thing is to make them loyal to Xing County and to me."

"If their thinking is wrong and they have gone astray, thinking about others but not Xingxian or me, then there is something wrong with their thinking and we need to correct it in time."

Lu Xingchen knew that it was not easy for Lu Feng and the others to understand these things, so he explained it very clearly without beating around the bush.

This is the army she built up herself, so naturally they have to obey her orders and be loyal to her alone in both thought and action.

Lu Feng seemed to understand.

"Then I understand, Commander." Lu Feng nodded slightly.

Lu Xingchen smiled knowingly.

Lu Xingchen has a clear goal, she wants to keep all these troops firmly in her hands and not let anyone get involved.

She has a clear goal, and she hopes that the soldiers below can also have the same clear goal as her.
