Yang Zhen stepped forward to help Zhong Lingxian up, patted him on the shoulder, then turned to Zhang Degui and said: "Now that all the candidates recommended by various ministries have come, I will take this opportunity today to briefly explain the rules and regulations of the Assistant Camp Affairs Office.

Tell me!"

After Yang Zhen said this, he first asked these people to sit on the seats near the wall and the window in the office room, and then asked Ma Keqing to serve tea to everyone, and then he also sat behind a note.

He sat down on the Grand Master's chair.

When Yang Zhen saw Ma Keqing finishing serving tea, he said to him: "Ma Liu! You go to Jin Shijun's camp at the east gate immediately and ask him to send his team officer Li Ji over to follow the order!"

Ma Keqing put down his affairs, immediately accepted the order, and left.

Others present did not know who Li Ji was, but at this time, Yang Zhen personally called his name and asked Li Ji to come over. I am afraid it was also related to their appointment as assistant camp affairs office.

Yang Zhen sent Ma Keqing, who knew Li Ji, to deliver the order outside the east gate. He turned around and saw several other people. Seeing Zhang Degui looking hesitant to speak, he immediately said to him:

"I forgot to tell you when I got busy in the morning! Those under you in the Assistant Camp Affairs Office should also break it down and assign the Assistant Camp Affairs Office the errands that should be managed, distinguish them, and assign them to each other!

"For example, it assists in the construction of settlements, assists in the payment of soldiers, assists in the enforcement of military law, assists in patrolling and anti-theft, and even assists in communications, etc., etc. In short, this associate camp affairs office is headed by Lao Zhang

You take the lead in taking charge, and everyone else below you performs their own duties and takes responsibility!

"Since then, the authority and responsibilities have been clear. But all the things assigned by me or through you will be handled by dedicated people! Those who do well will be rewarded, and those who do poorly will be punished! In this way, everything is done like an arm.

If you act vigorously and resolutely, everyone inside and outside Songshan will be united as one!"

Zhang Degui couldn't help but nodded after hearing what Yang Zhen said, while several other people present were surprised and looked at Yang Zhen with wide eyes.

They did not expect that when they were recommended to work in the newly established Associate Camp Affairs Office, they would actually have the opportunity to perform some of Yang Zhen's duties.

In the past, each of them was limited to their own corner and rarely considered the defense of Songshan Castle from an overall perspective.

Now, after Yang Zhen's few words, he immediately discovered that there were so many problems to consider and deal with inside and outside the small Songshan City.

After Yang Zhen said these words, he just drank tea quietly and waited, while several others were thinking about their own thoughts and wondering about their positions in the Assistant Camp Affairs Office.

About a quarter of an hour later, there were bursts of rapid footsteps outside.

Soon, Yang Zhen saw Li Ji, the leader of the Fengrun County Yama Kuaishou who stood up to talk to him in Xiongyue City, followed Mak Qingmai across the threshold, hunched over, and entered the east wing of the second hall with small steps.

Office room.

This is the first time Li Ji has returned to the General Military Mansion. More than half a month has passed since he had the courage to speak to Yang Zhen in Zhangjing Mansion in Xiongyue City that day.

After that incident, he quickly became an officer of the temporarily formed Jinshijun Sentinel Team, and was in charge of a newly formed brave team of nearly a hundred people. Such a good thing flying from the sky made him excited for a long time.

For a while, I kept rejoicing that I finally had good luck.

But his good luck seemed to have ended here. The long-awaited summons from Yang Zhen never came.

Slowly, his enthusiasm for advancement faded away, and he began to follow Jin Shijun's instructions seriously.

On the one hand, he practiced various tricks of throwing flying generals, and on the other hand, he started the heavy work outside the east gate with his new brave men.

Not only did they have to build a camp for their sentries by themselves outside the east gate, on the uncultivable rock slope between the deep trench and high fortress dug when the Manchu Tatars besieged Songshan and the Songshan city wall, but they also had to assign manpower to the rock slope.

On the outskirts of the camp, wasteland was reclaimed and grass seedlings were replanted.

Although the newly formed sentry units led by Li Ji are brave, many of them are farmers from Guanli, and they are better at building houses and cultivating land than they were at burning, killing, and looting in Gaizhou City.

But none of them was what Li Ji was willing to do.

Therefore, when he heard that Jin Shijun called him and told him that someone from the General Military Mansion was looking for him and asked him to go to the General Military Mansion, he was immediately overjoyed and followed Ma Keqing to the General Military Mansion.

Along the way, his legs didn't stop, and his mouth didn't stop either. He kept asking Ma Keqing about Yang Zhenqian's intention of summoning him.

At this time, as soon as he entered Yang Zhen's official room, after listening to Ma Keqing's report, he immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Little Li Ji, the new recruit of the advance battalion, Zhuang Yong Zuo Shao Jin Qian, is in charge of the ten sheds team.

Officer, pay homage to the Commander-in-Chief!"

Yang Zhen saw Li Ji kneeling on the ground panting, sweating, and covered in mud, looking like he had just come off the construction site, and then asked with a smile:

"How is the construction of your camp outside the east gate going? When will it be officially completed and settled in?"

Li Ji knelt on the ground. When Yang Zhen asked him to ask this question first, he was a little stunned, but he quickly reacted and answered immediately:

"The young man led ten sheds to dig a cave on one side of the rock slope outside the east wall and build sheds outside. Nine of the ten sheds have been completed, and the other one will be done tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!

"On the contrary, we have fallen behind other teams in replanting seedlings! However, there are many good people in the small team who are good at cultivating the fields. They will all be finished in a few days!"

When Yang Zhen heard what Li Ji said, he was quite satisfied. He smiled and said to him: "You can save trouble and know how to adapt to local conditions!"

Yang Zhen said this first, and when he saw Li Ji grinning and saying nothing, he no longer asked about the construction of the camp outside the east gate, but turned to him and said:

"Li Ji! I have set up an Assistant Camp Affairs Office under my General Military Mansion to help with Songshan Camp affairs. Have you ever heard of it?!"

When Li Ji heard Yang Zhen's change of topic and suddenly mentioned this, he immediately felt happy, knowing that Yang Zhen must have done something good by calling him here.

"I heard about it this morning! The Commander-in-Chief is really wise! A small county government office in Hedi has six rooms, three squads, and two subordinate officers, not to mention the majestic Commander-in-Chief Songshan?!

"If there are not a group of subordinate officers to help you take care of everything in Songshan, and you just rely on me to take care of everything, shouldn't this commander-in-chief have a hard time?!"

Li Ji seemed to have guessed what Yang Zhen meant by asking him. When Yang Zhen asked him, he immediately expressed all his thoughts.

"Li Ji! How can you talk nonsense in front of the Commander-in-Chief?!"

Li Ji's somewhat casual remarks in front of Yang Zhen were immediately scolded by Zhang Degui, who was so frightened that he immediately kowtowed and said: "You talk too much! You deserve to be damned! Please forgive me, General, Commander-in-Chief!"

When Yang Zhen saw this, he didn't take it seriously. He first stopped Zhang Degui who was about to continue speaking, and at the same time said to Li Ji: "It doesn't matter! Since you know about the establishment of the Associate Camp Affairs Office, I now ask you to step down from your current post.

Team officer, what do you think of taking a position in the Assistant Camp Affairs Office?!"

"The little ones are just sent out! The little ones are happy!"

A person like Li Ji, who has been in the county government for many years, naturally knows what is important and what is important. Being on duty in Yang Zhen's General Military Mansion is definitely better than leading a group of brave men to open up wasteland in the camp outside the east gate.

Farming is much better.

Moreover, he has already received an order to replant the seedlings in the past few days, and then he will start a larger project. He will build some bastions and forts on both sides of the east gate.

The project would probably take several months to complete, and he, who was born in a government office, didn't want to endure the hardship anymore, so as soon as Yang Zhen finished speaking, Li Ji immediately said that he was willing.

Seeing him like this, Yang Zhen smiled immediately and didn't say much. He just asked him to get up, found a chair and sat down, and then said to everyone:

"The Assistant Camp Affairs Office has just been established, and everything is starting from scratch. We need you all to work together to help General Zhang Degui and help with the camp affairs!

"General Zhang will be the general manager of the Associate Camp Affairs Office from now on. As for you, no matter whether you were the general manager, the general manager, or other lay officials, from now on you will not be superior to each other.

He is a clerk in the assistant camp affairs office and is always called a deputy!

"You only have one superior officer in the Assistant Camp Affairs Office, and that is General Zhang! Of course, General Zhang takes orders directly from me, so I am also your superior officer!"

"I don't have many requirements for you to assist with the affairs of the Camp Affairs Office. I just need to handle the things assigned to you by General Zhang and I! I called you here today mainly to tell you a few military orders of the Assistant Camp Affairs Office.

!”

When Yang Zhen said this, he paused for a moment and saw that everyone was listening carefully, so he thought for a while and said: "There are four in total, you all must remember it!

"First, you must be loyal! This is true for the Ming Dynasty, Songshan City, and the General Military Mansion. You must be loyal and never have two minds!

"Second, we must act vigorously and resolutely! Whatever I assign or what General Zhang Shen assigns must be done according to the order, and the action must have results. The military intelligence is urgently reported, and the matter cannot be done overnight! Don't be procrastinating. Whoever delays the military plane will

I will chop off anyone’s head! Military law is ruthless, don’t say you didn’t predict what you said!”

Yang Zhen suddenly finished speaking in a stern tone, then calmed down, looked at everyone, and then changed his tone and said: "It's not too late to regret now! If you feel that you can't do these things, you can leave now! I'll ask someone to come again.

Find a replacement!"
Chapter completed!
