Chapter 165 Yin and Yang
The military system of the Han Dynasty has three main origins: the first is the establishment of a group of five and a team of ten people that was run-in from the Valley of Death to the Thousand Miles Expedition, as well as the actual combat experience and training tradition formed during that period; the second is the Meng'an Mooke system absorbed from the Jurchens; The third is the name of the Tang and Song military ranks. The combination of these three military traditions, coupled with the integration and changes of Zhe Yanchong, Yang Yingqi and Cao Guangbi in the later period, formed the Han military system that was beginning to take shape.
For Huining, the Han Department still used Meng'an to restrain himself as an open military system, such as Zhi Yanchong, Yang Yingqi, Aluman and Xiao Tienu were all Meng'an, etc., while Cao Guangbi and Yang Kaiyuan are still Mouke. However, in fact, there is another set of military ranks within the Han Dynasty, which are basically simplified with reference to the military ranks of the Tang and Song dynasties, such as the captain of ten people is called Zuo Lieutenant, the captain of 100 people is called Captain, the length of 500 people is called Du Lieutenant, the length of 1,000 people is Lang General, and the length of 5,000 people is called General. For example, Xu Wen is a general, Cao Guangbi leads the general Yu Lu, Ouyang Shi, A Luman, and Xiao Tienu all follow Cao Guangbi's example, and they are embarrassed to go over to the second brother, and they are only called generals. The Han Department inherited the style of martial arts, and after many years of fighting, there were many meritorious men and people who could fight, and the regular establishment of the main army system was less than 30,000 people, but the talents of Lang generals were nearly 100.
After the Han Yuan Minbu Conference, Zhi Yanchong inspected the northern part of the Liaodong Peninsula, and the army gathered all of the above except for the generals who were on duty in important areas. The meeting was held at the edge of the Hosu Pavilion in the easternmost village of the Upper Twelve Villages. The three major generals of the Han Army, Cao Guangbi, Aluman, and Xiao Tienu, all appeared with Zhe Yanchong, and Yang Kaiyuan as the chief of logistics and Yang Yingqi as the central privy secretary also attended.
Dozens of people gathered together, but the atmosphere was completely different from the Siyue Palace! Although the Yuan Minmin Conference also seemed serious, after all, there were still many literati and philistines mixed in it. But here, there is only restrained murderous spirit and disciplined martial bravery! Zhi Yan Chong still maintained his affinity in the Siyue Palace, but when he came here, he had a cold face!
"It turns out how ruthless our Han army has become." Yang Yingqi, who has not lived in the military for a long time, feels a little unfamiliar with this atmosphere, and on this occasion, even he doesn't dare to talk and laugh.
The military meeting was presided over by Aluman, and the generals who had performed well in the past year were first commended and promoted, and the honorary part was awarded by Zhi Yanchong himself, and the substantive rewards were presented by Yang Yingqi.
After the reward, some of the generals were promoted, and it was announced that within three years, 12 more military villages of the same size and intensity would be added to the existing Shang12 villages. No one spoke, but every mid-level general had a fanaticism in their eyes for army expansion. Yang Yingqi was the only one in the whole room, and what others thought was different from what others thought - he was thinking about how much the extra twelve villages would cost!
Then, start to the discussion stage. Although it was an open discussion, it was mainly a few generals who discussed the matter. First, Yang Kaiyuan talked about some matters related to the reform of the logistics team, and then Yang Yingqi supplemented it according to the cooperation between government affairs and the economy. After this topic was finished, the situation of the two "partial divisions" of the Han Department began to be discussed.
After entering southern Liaoning, the Han army gradually carried out military reform and established the main military system centered on the Liaokou army. However, outside of this system, there are three powerful men and horses who have also been preserved for historical reasons, and they are outside the main military system of the Han Dynasty.
The first is a naval army independent of the marine army, led by Ouyang Shi, but in fact, the naval army directly controlled by Ouyang Shi is only about one-third of the total, and the other troops are controlled by the Jinmen Privy Secret.
The second is the Xiao Tienu Division, which is also known as the Western Army in the Han Army because of its long-term activities in the west of the Han Army. The establishment of the Western Army was completely spontaneous, and except for accepting the financial support of southern Liaoning and obeying the orders of Zhe Yanchong, there was no resemblance to the main military system of the Han Dynasty.
The third group is the Suguan Department led by Aruban, which is also known as the Eastern Army because of its long-term activities in the east of the Han Dynasty. Although the Eastern Army also has a certain degree of independence, compared with the Western Army, it has a relatively close relationship with the main military system. There were many warriors of Hu descent in the main military system of southern Liaoning, and one-third of them were absorbed from the tribes under the control of Aruban. And the military mechanism of the Hosu Pavilion Department is also getting closer and closer to the Twelve Villages.
At the beginning, although Aruman had the opportunity to win the status of equal to Orihiko within the Daikin regime, he himself took the initiative to give up, and pulled the Hosu Pavilion Department side by side with the Han Department more and more Vietnam, and now almost all the people of the Hosu Pavilion think that they are Hanbu! It can be said that the Hosu Pavilion has become the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty in the northwest of the peninsula, and although Akuda had transferred Aluman in advance during his last southern tour, he still chose to enter the peninsula from the east, which shows that he was deeply jealous of the strength of the Hosu Pavilion.
The Jurchen of the Hosu Pavilion were civilized earlier, and they were all good farmers and herdsmen (at the level of the northern kingdom), which is also one of the important reasons why they were able to quickly integrate into the life of the Han Dynasty. However, before the relationship with the Han Department, the combat effectiveness of the people of the Hosu Pavilion was not very strong. This changed dramatically after Aruman's arrival. On the one hand, due to the economic subsidies provided by the Jinmen to the Hosu Pavilion, Aruban had enough financial resources to select talents within the clan, and let the weak go to farming, herding horses or working, leaving only the strongest of the strong to serve as soldiers, coupled with the sophisticated weapons provided by the Han Department, the individual combat ability of the Hosu Pavilion people was greatly enhanced. On the other hand, with the support of the Han caravan and the sailors of the sea vessels, Aruban used several actions to appease the Jurchens of the East China Sea and continuously recruited the warriors of the Jurchens of the East China Sea, and slowly built a semi-barbarian army and horses comparable to Xiao Tienu's army.
In the past few years, the Jurchen's eastern front has been fine, in addition to the relatively stable foundation that has been established before the completion of the Yan clan, Aruman's efforts are also a major reason. However, it is precisely because of this that many tribes in the Jurchens in the East China Sea are now "prophets have Han tribes, and then they know that there is a complete face". Although the Jurchens of the East China Sea are also called Jurchens, it is only a common name for the various tribes in the area east of Changbai Mountain and bordering the East China Sea, in fact, each of these tribes has its own origin and name, and has little to do with the Jurchens of the Wanyan Tribe. The Han tribe showed its strength in the conflict and its faithfulness in the trade, and many tribes made overtures to the Han tribe, and even moved westward to become warriors, workers, herdsmen, or fishermen of the Han tribe.
After Xiao Tienu and Aluman finished talking about the situation of their troops, Cao Guangbi informed the generals of the resolution of the Yuan Minmin Conference on the discussion of "from Jin to Song". Most of the generals think that such a discussion is really redundant, whether to fight or not, the general will decide in one sentence, why waste words? In their opinion, the decision of the Yuan Ministry's meeting was not important at all! But then, Cao Guangbi's words caused almost everyone's surprise.
"Since I am against the invasion of the Song Dynasty from Jin this time, if the Han Department is forced to be the vanguard of the invasion of the Song Dynasty in the end, I will not be able to meet the responsibility of commanding the army, so I request to resign from my position in the army."
The second general wants to resign? How can this be!
Except for Yang Yingqi, Xiao Tienu, Yang Kaiyuan, A Lu Man and others, who already knew the situation before, there were almost no surprises present. But Aluman and Yang Kaiyuan's faces were still a little ugly, and they seemed to have a lot of opinions on this matter.
Although Cao Guangbi is not as good as Xiao Tienu in terms of foreign military exploits in the past two years, in the main military system of the Han Dynasty, his prestige is unmatched except for Zhi Yanchong! In the minds of many middle-level generals, it doesn't matter whether they cut down the Song Dynasty or not, and the resolution of the Yuan Minmin Conference is nothing remarkable, but the two things mixed together will trigger the resignation of the second general, which shocked them! Many people couldn't help but look at Zhi Yanchong, hoping that the general would refuse the resignation of the second general and save the second general to continue to serve in the army. But Orihiko didn't.
"Good! I agree. The four words of Zhi Yanchong shocked the generals even more than Cao Guangbi's resignation just now. Luckily, he added, "But only temporarily." Once the matter of Jin Fa Song is over, you still have to come back. ”
The generals relaxed a little, but Cao Guangbi was a little gloomy in his heart. I have to come back when it's over, but what if I can't? However, he did not show his feelings, but replied without joy and carelessness: "Yes." ”
