Now that General Long has expressed this attitude, the remaining negotiations will be different from before. There is no use for the following people sitting here. As long as the leaders above have a consensus, the following people can discuss the details.
Soon, with a word from Marshal Zhang, all the negotiators on his side went out. General Long also waved his hand, and his negotiators also went out.
"Commander, are you going to give me an answer?"
To be honest, General Long was a little surprised by Dashuai Zhang's action, because in General Long's view, Dashuai Zhang was just one of Gao Shaoyi's subordinates. Even if there was to be an answer, it should be done with Gao Shaoyi's consent.
, how can Dashuai Zhang make the decision? What’s more, Dashuai Zhang is a monk who has become a monk on the way. Gao Shaoyi may not give him the rights in all matters, but looking at Dashuai Zhang’s eyes, he should have already made up his mind. General Long’s heart
There is a huge doubt, does Gao Shaoyi trust these people who joined halfway?
"Of course I want to give you an answer. In fact, I don't want to continue talking like this. It is really a waste of time. If the three southwestern provinces submit to our prince, my current position will be your position, and government affairs will still be under your control.
, if you don’t care, then the six southern provinces will be merged, I will take care of the government affairs, and you will take care of the military affairs.”
General Long was shocked by Zhang Dashuai's words. He had already sent people to inquire clearly. Zhang Dashuai had always been responsible for the affairs of the governments of the three southern provinces, and Gao Shaoyi would not interfere in the appointment of various personnel. It can be said that he treated Zhang Dashuai very much.
Gao Shaoyi trusted him, but he didn't expect that Gao Shaoyi could put himself in charge of the military. If this was the case, wouldn't he be afraid that he would develop his own strength through the power of the suppressing army?
"Is this serious?"
General Long is a soldier, and you can tell from his title. If he is asked to take charge of government affairs, I'm afraid he really doesn't have that ability, but to control military power, he must be a close confidant around Gao Shaoyi.
, just like Wang Laoer at this moment, he turned out to be a general in Gao Shaoyi's family, so he was able to take charge of the three southern provinces.
"Of course it's true. The prince has personally approved that if you plan to continue joining the army, then the prince can give you the strength of an army. The troops of this army cannot be stationed in the three southwestern provinces. You can station them on other battlefields.
, an army consists of five divisions, approximately more than 200,000 people."
After hearing what Marshal Zhang said, General Long looked a little disappointed. It's right to think about it. It's impossible for you to continue on this land, but if there are more than 200,000 troops, General Long will have no regrets in his life.
.
His biggest wish is to lead the army to fight for the country, but without the support of the court, even if he is a local warlord, there is no way to fight with foreigners. The most important thing is that he cannot support it. Who makes him not have that strength?
, but if you rely on the suppressing army, you can have a good fight with the foreigners and let them spit out everything they have eaten over the years.
"Can I keep these people under my command?"
General Long thought of his men who were good at fighting, especially in the southern mountainous areas. Their combat capabilities were very strong. If they could all stay, General Long could definitely guarantee the combat effectiveness of this army. But if
If you can't stay, it will be a big loss.
"Of course they can be retained, but during the period when the army is established, they must all go to military schools to receive modern education. It will only take about half a year at most before they can return to your army. Of course, regarding the source of soldiers for your army,
If I have my own arrangements, I will recruit half of them from the three southwestern provinces, and the rest will be transferred from the north."
Regarding what Dashuai Zhang said, General Long also agreed. It is already quite difficult to be able to use the people he has. Don't think that using half of them is already a very high ratio.
, if it were not for the purpose of conquering General Long as soon as possible, this proportion would drop to 30%.
"Of course the rest of your people also have somewhere to go. If they pass the physical examination, they can be sent to various troops in the north. Don't worry, there are strict regulations within the Suppression Army. No one will treat them unfairly. Once
If anything happens, the prince will naturally make the decision for your people."
Marshal Zhang knows that General Long loves the people like his own children and is very considerate towards his troops. This is one of the reasons why so many people are willing to follow him. The three southwestern provinces are extremely poor, but the military's operational interests are not weak. This is the personal charm of General Long.
One reason, so under such circumstances, General Long breathed a sigh of relief when Marshal Zhang revealed these arrangements. At least his people would not have to lose their jobs and have been with him for half their lives.
I'm afraid General Long won't be able to sleep at night.
"Then what are you waiting for? If that's the case, then hurry up and implement it. I can immediately hand over the affairs of the governments of the three southwestern provinces to you. Regarding the affairs of our army, you can just take care of it. We are all gentlemen.
, even if there is no such agreement, it is just a spit and a nail. Speaking of which, we are not bad people, but we used to fight each other because of our own interests. Now we are all under the prince's military flag and make good contributions to this country.
."
General Long exhaled. Although he was still a little worried in his heart, but then again, it is useless for you to worry now. You are already desperate. There is no other way to go except following Gao Shaoyi.
, now you can only choose to believe Gao Shaoyi. Even if Gao Shaoyi takes over the three southwestern provinces and does not arrange the strength of the army for you, then you can only admit it.
"Give me three days, and I will give you an explanation. I can arrange government matters, but I cannot arrange matters in the army. You should also start recruiting recruits after you go back. Although those under you
We are all veterans, but their system is completely different from that of the Suppression Army. I will send people over to help you, remember that only half of them can join the new army, and the rest are waiting for the court's arrangements."
Marshal Zhang patted General Long on the shoulder. He didn't expect that this matter could be solved so easily. After all, they were two open-minded men, not the kind of people who engage in conspiracy...
