The kitten placed a stack of files in front of Qin Feng, and his face became serious: "What is really difficult is the remaining Fire Phoenix Army. There were about 6,000 people left in the capital that surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the number of the fire Phoenix Army captured and injured in other battles reached about 20,000. Most of these people were in the army for generations, and about 5,000 of them were the so-called Fire Phoenix Army households. They had no other strengths except for fighting. Releasing such people to the people is a huge hidden danger."

"What do you mean is to include them in the Ming Dynasty's military system?" Qin Feng asked.

"Yes, break them into pieces and transfer them into different troops. The combat effectiveness of these people is not to be doubted. After staying in the Ming army for three years, they will retire one by one according to the Ming military regulations. Three years is enough for us to slowly digest them." said the kitten.

"While withdrawing troops on a large scale, 20,000 people were recruited at once. I am afraid that our army will not be reduced in size!" Qin Feng said with a wry smile.

"It's not entirely true. After all, some of the 20,000 Fire Phoenix Army are willing to retire." Xiaomao smiled and said, "We estimated that there were only about 10,000 people who really needed to be included in the Ming army. It was just that when resettlement, who needed to be resettled separately and could not let them concentrate in the Shangjing area in large quantities."

"Then let's do it like this!" Qin Feng patted the stack of files, "The combat effectiveness of the Fire Phoenix Army is indeed very good. Why would he be very happy if he sent a part of it to Wu Ling."

"I am thinking that most of the Fire Phoenix Army are preparing to be transferred to the Wuling War Zone. Their families are still staying in Shangjing. Although they are far away from their hometown, they have hope for a period of three years, so that they can be better controlled." said the kitten.

"Go to Wuling and Kunling County, and you can almost digest these Fire Phoenix Army." Qin Feng said: "Our military pay is not bad compared to the previous military pay of these Fire Phoenix Army. Three years later, even if they have any ideas, we will almost completely digest Chu Di, and there will be nothing to worry about at that time."

"The officials of the Political Affairs Hall think so. Your Majesty, this is how the soldiers' layoffs are basically settled. After the overall layoffs are completed, there will be a series of mobilizations. The Ministry of War will more reasonably equip various troops to make the combat power of each unit more balanced." The kitten said with a smile.

The so-called mobilization is actually a way for the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of War to check and balance the generals in commanding the troops, and to effectively prevent a general from turning his commanded troops into his own private army.

"Compared with the abolition and reorganization of soldiers, the officials of the Political Affairs Hall actually care more about the setting of the military region and the resettlement of senior generals." The kitten looked at Qin Feng, "After our Ming Dynasty conquered Chu, the Western Route Army no longer had the need to exist, and it was bound to be abolition. The troops under the Western Route Army were stationed and controlled, and the arrangements of senior generals of the Western Route Army became a relatively difficult problem. I wonder what Your Majesty thought?"

Qin Feng gently tapped the big case, pondered for a moment, and said, "In fact, I have been thinking about this issue after the war ended. Wuling War Zone is commanded by Wu Ling, which is also one of the main attack directions when we attack Qi in the future. Wu Ling has been preparing for this over the years, so this road is naturally commanded by him. The other road is the second attack point when we are designing the overall strategy. I am planning to use Zhou Jiyun as the commander."

"Your Majesty, Zhou Jiyun is Yang Zhi's deputy general now. If Zhou Jiyun is the main general along the way, how will General Yang Zhi arrange it?" the kitten pondered.

Qin Feng smiled: "Whoever serves as the general at their level, and who is the chief general and who is the deputy, is determined according to the needs of the war. Whoever says that one must be higher than the other?"

"That's right!" The kitten also laughed. "However, if General Zhou Jiyun is the future leader of the road, how would General Yang Zhi arrange it?"

"The Chu area needs a general guarding the city, and Yong County also needs one." Qin Feng said: "I think Yang Zhi will be the governor of the Chu area. The government office of the guarding the city is set up in Shangjing."

The kitten thought for a while and frowned: "Zhou Jiyun is in Kunling, commanding the Eastern Military Region, and Yang Zhi is in Shangjing to guard Chu. How can they clarify the relationship between the two of them?"

"They are not related to each other and are directly under the jurisdiction of the court." Qin Feng said: "Zhou Jiyun's mission is to prepare for the battle in line with each other. Yang Zhi's mission is to be responsible for the security of Chu, and after the war breaks out in the future, he will become Zhou Jiyun's support. The troops of the eastern military region are divided into two parts, and some are stationed in the six eastern counties and are under the command of Zhou Jiyun. They are the main force in the battle in the future, and the other part is stationed in various counties in Chu, and they are usually responsible for the security protection of various places. After the war breaks out, they will be transferred into the combat sequence. After the Chu land is naturalized, the so-called county soldiers and county soldiers will be abolished, and military forces are also needed to deter the local area."

Qin Feng paused for a moment, "At the same time, the garrison government is also responsible for training new recruits. Each garrison government will set up a recruit training camp. After recruits, the new recruits of the Ming Dynasty will first conduct military training for three to six months in the recruit training camp. Only after passing the assessment can they be assigned to each branch. If the assessment fails, they will be returned."

"I understand." said the little cat. "The guard of Yong County is Chen Zhihua."

"No, Lu Dayuan is responsible for the custody of Yong County." Qin Fengdao.

"What about Chen Zhihua? How to arrange it?"

"I am already preparing to establish the Ming Military Academy." Qin Feng smiled and said: "Transfer Chen Zhihua back to Shangjing to prepare for the establishment of the Ming Military Academy. He will be the first president of the Ming Military Academy. He will transfer Guan Hongyu to work with him. In the future, most of the officers of the Ming Dynasty will come from the Ming Military Academy. Even generals promoted by various departments for military achievements will need to go to the Military Academy to study for a period of time. Only after passing the assessment can you get the final promotion."

"Your Majesty is wise!" the kitten said with a smile.

After this, the officers and soldiers of the Ming army will be firmly controlled by the court. In addition, the promotion from the lieutenant or above must be approved by the Ministry of War. It can be said that the influence of the generals in the army will be further minimized. The only remaining in the hands of the main generals is the command power during wartime.

"After the Western Military Region was abolished, how will the remaining troops under its command be distributed except for the Xidi garrison? " Xiaomao asked again.

"Mahou's mixed infantry and cavalry camp, Zou Zheng's Baoqing camp, the reorganized Bian Wenhao's troops and Yu Chao's Zhuifeng camp were all transferred to the Eastern Theater Command and belonged to Zhou Jiyun's command." Qin Fengdao: "After Guan Hongyu's subordinates were reorganized, they were transferred to the Xidi garrison office. After Lu Dayuan's subordinates were reorganized, they also belonged to the Xidi garrison office. Yulin and Huben camps were returned to the Central War Zone. And Canglang and Ruijin camps will also return to the Central War Zone."

"Your Majesty, the Zhengshi Hall has some ideas about the Wuling War Zone." Xiao Anchor pondered for a moment, "This time, the Zhengshi Hall hopes that I will report this meaning to Your Majesty and decide it."

"Hmm? What is it?"

"General Wuling has been in charge of the Wuling War Zone for a long time, and his troops are also the least changed. The Zhengshitang believes that this is not a good thing for General Wuling, nor is it good for the court. However, the Wuling War Zone is responsible for the arrow task of attacking Qi in the future and cannot be replaced at will. Therefore, the Zhengshitang feels that General Wuling needs to transfer a general of sufficient weight to be his deputy."

Qin Feng said, "Does the officials of the Political Affairs Hall agree on the same opinion?"

"Yes, Guan Gongquan also wrote a letter to consult Zeng Yizheng for his opinion, and Zeng Yizheng also held the same idea." Xiaomao said.

"This person is hard to find. If a great general goes to Wuling, he will definitely be unwilling to be surrendered. If a bad person is a good person, it will lead to a struggle between the chief and deputy general. This is not a good thing." Qin Feng frowned, glanced at the kitten, and asked: "There is a suitable candidate for the Zhengshi Hall?"

"Yes, the Zhengshi Hall has indeed had a suitable candidate." The kitten answered affirmatively, which made Qin Feng's brain flash, "Are they planning to let the wild dog go?"

"Your Majesty sees Wanli clearly." The kitten laughed: "Wild Dog arrived at the Wuling War Zone. His temperament would never compete with Wu Ling for command. However, where his identity and qualifications were placed, he could effectively check and balance Wu Ling. I think Wu Ling could understand where the wild dogs were transferred to the Zhengshi Hall."

The wild dog's loyalty to Qin Feng is recognized by everyone. This stubborn guy has always only recognized one person in his mind, that is, Qin Feng. Putting the wild dog in the Wuling War Zone is indeed a suitable candidate. It can not only make the Zhengshitang feel confident about the loyalty of the Wuling War Zone to the court, but also will not cause any disagreement in the case of the chief and deputy generals due to the struggle for power.

"But Wild Dog is a general in the Central War Zone. Where will he be transferred, wouldn't he be demoted?" Qin Feng smiled and said, "Didn't Zhengshitang consider this?"

"The Wild Dog doesn't care. Your Majesty doesn't know that during the days when you left Shangjing City, the Wild Dog went to find the Political Affairs Hall and my troubles. It was because of this war that he didn't get a single fight and was indignant! He was too happy to transfer him wherever he was. Do you think the Wild Dog is a person who cares about reputation?"

"He does not care, but he can't downgrade him to the next level in such a way, right?" Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the Political Affairs Hall believes that after pacifying Chu, the Ming Dynasty needs to reward the heroes, and just do something on it." The kitten said with a smile. "Everyone knows that the next step in the Ming Dynasty is to use troops against Qi. At this time, transferring wild dogs to the Wuling War Zone can also make everyone understand the Ming Dynasty's determination."

In a war zone, two generals went to, and everyone knew that the Ming Dynasty was about to prepare to attack Qi.

"Wild dogs are gone, who will serve as the general of the Central War Zone?"
