Chapter 182: The Tianyu Army is established and the Kun Army returns to its loyalty
"What a bad name."
Shen Changgong chuckled and flicked Gongsun Wan'er's smooth forehead, causing the little bitch... bah, the little beauty to scream in pain.
"Having the word 'chou' in the name will make them feel humiliated and alienated, and it's not pleasant to hear, and will make the Yan army always remember their vengeance.
Kun Kingdom is just one of our targets. What happens after we destroy Kun Kingdom? Where does our hatred come from?
From now on, only others will bear grudges against us, and we will not bear grudges against others."
Yan Fuyao thought for a moment and said,
"How about calling them the Flying Dragon Army? Sounds impressive, right?"
Shen Changgong shook his head and said,
“I will keep the name Feilong for its own benefit. I cannot give it to them, nor would it be appropriate. Dragon signifies the dignity of an emperor.
In my opinion, we should call it the Tianyu Army."
"Tianyu Army? Yuhuatian? You named it directly after the commander?"
Yan Fuyao curled his lips slightly and said,
"You really dote on him."
Gongsun Wan'er immediately spoke ill of him.
"In my opinion, he's just thinking about Yu Huatian and thinking how good he is... Ah! You hit me again!"
Before Gongsun Wan'er could finish her words, she was hit on the head again.
Shen Changgong said,
"They were originally Yu Huatian's troops. Without him, those people wouldn't have followed us. They are in urgent need of a sense of belonging. Naming them after Yu Huatian can increase their psychological attachment.
Furthermore, Yu Huatian is no longer the commander-in-chief, but the commander-in-chief of the Feiyu Army. The commander-in-chief of the central army in the capital can only be me."
"Then what is the purpose of establishing the position of commander-in-chief?"
Gongsun Wan'er asked with a pout.
"Who goes to war by bringing hundreds of thousands of people into battle? How many large-scale military battles involving hundreds of thousands of people can there be?"
Faced with complex terrain and the connections between various cities and passes, it is often necessary to divide troops and fight in a coordinated manner at the same time in units of legions and corps.
Therefore, we need different outstanding commanders to lead the army, but there can only be one commander-in-chief, who is in charge of and commands the entire army. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand. Speak a little more quietly..."
Gongsun Wan'er said this with a feeling of grievance.
Yan Fuyao smiled slightly and said to Wan'er,
"You are just too stupid. Learn more from Que Ling in the future."
Gongsun Wan'er glanced at Tu Que Ling with disdain and said,
"Is she clever?"
"No, she doesn't speak."
Tu Queling chuckled.
Shen Changgong continued,
"Now, of the three main armies, Yu Huatian is the commander of the Tianyu Army, and the Weihu Army, let Guan Shouchang take charge. He performed well this time, but his command ability was overshadowed by mine. If he could command alone, he could also be the commander-in-chief of one side."
"Okay, you take care of the military affairs. Who will be the commander of the Changning Army?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. It's better to have nothing than to have someone of poor quality. It's easy to promote someone, but if they don't do their job well, I'm afraid they won't accept it if I demote them.
I will be in charge for the time being, and let the Changning Army be my personal guard."
"it is good."
After a lunch and a few words, Shen Changgong and Yan Fuyao finalized the military system.
Fast speed and high efficiency.
This is the benefit of centralization. Extreme centralization brings extreme efficiency.
After dinner, Shen Changgong, Yan Fuyao and Gongsun Wan'er got on the dragon chariot together and began to handle government affairs.
In another carriage, several palace maids took needles and thread and began to embroider flags.
It takes twelve days to get from ** City to Yanjing City.
It took only four days to embroider the Tianyu Army's large banner.
One morning, Shen Changgong personally took the big flag and went to the Tianyu Army camp and called out Yu Huatian and the generals.
Everyone was confused and didn't know what he was going to do.
"Meet the prince!"
Yuhuatian clasped his hands and saluted Shen Changgong.
Shen Changgong said,
"You should give the highest military salute, not to me, but to this flag."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huatian was stunned at first, then he was overjoyed, as he guessed what it was.
Yu Huatian immediately knelt on one knee, resting his right fist on the ground, and the generals behind him also knelt down quickly.
"Meet Prince Lanling!"
Shen Changgong walked forward and said loudly,
"Yuhuatian!"
"The general is here!"
"On behalf of the Emperor of Great Yan, I grant you and your entire army the name of the Tianyu Army.
From now on, you are no longer the Kun Army, no longer captives, but the Central Army of Great Yan, the official regiment of Great Yan, the Tianyu Army! "
"I thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yuhuatian kowtowed solemnly, then raised his hands high and took the military flag.
In the army, the two most important things are the commander-in-chief and the military flag.
The coach is the hub and brain of the entire army.
The military flag represents faith, a designation, honor, and a signal of command.
If the flag falls, the flag guards will behead the entire battalion without asking the reason.
This shows the importance of the big flag.
After taking the banner, Yu Huatian turned around and handed it to the general behind him.
The generals jointly unfolded the large flag, on which were written the two large characters "Tian Yu" in a flamboyant style.
The generals' eyes were filled with tears.
They also have numbers. They are not slaves, prisoners of war, or Kun Army.
After surrendering, they have been under tremendous psychological pressure, as well as fear and confusion about the future.
They didn't know how the Yan court would treat them, how the Yan people would view them, or how much contempt, abuse, and discrimination they would face in the future. They were terrified.
But now, King Lanling of Dayan personally delivered the military flag to them and told them that they were an independent regular army corps, and even after coming to Dayan, they would enjoy the same treatment as Dakun.
As a defeated and surrendered army, this is truly the best a king can give.
Shen Changgong took the tiger talisman from Tu Queling's hand behind him and handed half of it solemnly to Yu Huatian.
"Yu Huatian, listen to my orders. I appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the Tianyu Army. You will be in charge of all matters concerning the Tianyu Army and will be under my direct command."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yuhuatian took it solemnly.
Then, Shen Changgong said to the generals,
"I believe your commander-in-chief has already told you about Dayan's military system. Dayan's new military system was only implemented this year and was reformed by me.
As long as you can kill the enemy and make meritorious service, all of you will be rewarded, achieve great things, and obtain titles!
Whether it is you or other members of the Great Yan Legion, you will all be treated equally.
They didn't achieve any meritorious service much earlier than you did, they just fought a battle earlier than you.
In the future, we will have many more battles to fight and many opportunities to make meritorious deeds!
Whether you become a marquis or a general, or continue to be a soldier, it all depends on you!
Maybe during this period, because of the previous wars, some people will dislike you and look down on you, but I believe that as long as the war starts, you will use your actual actions to prove that you are no worse than them, and you will also be an invincible legion.
You will shut those people's mouths and slap them in the face!
Whether it is glory or disgrace depends entirely on you!"
Shen Changgong's words won great recognition from these Kun soldiers. For a while, cheers were heard throughout the camp.
