In the afternoon, Yang Tong thought about the next Sui and Tang wars in the tent, but compared with the war, another major reform was imminent, that is, the change in the military system.

The three provinces and six ministries have now evolved into three provinces and ten ministries, on top of the original six ministries, the addition of the school department, the imperial department, the military department, the business department, the official system has been very complete, the responsibilities of each department are clear, the departments cooperate with each other, and check each other; The division of labor and duties of various officials are clear and clear. It can be said that it is quite perfect, and it will only need to be polished slowly in the future.

The most important military system, the corps system, which focuses on combat, has also been very effective, and the main problem to be solved now is the issue of the promotion of generals.

In addition to the actual position, the military attache also has the title of knighthood and the title of military officer.

The level of the knighthood is determined by the level of merit, and the military officials reflect the seniority of the soldiers, in addition to the false positions and the nine rank honors

Because the Sui Dynasty is an orthodox dynasty, there is no need to use high-ranking officials like Li Yuan and Li Mi to envelop the military under his command, so at the beginning of Yang Tong's accession to the throne, he did not do the feat of sealing more than 100 princes with the manual.

Since Yang Tong ascended the throne, the generals of the Sui Dynasty have made meritorious contributions, mainly by rewarding money and goods, and getting promotions in real positions. The titles and military officials have almost stagnated, and the imperial court has now destroyed Li Mi, the leader of the most influential rebel alliance, and the generals' titles and military officials and honors should also be promoted.

The generals with different surnames of the Duke of the Kingdom have come to an end in terms of titles, but Yang Tong can compensate for the military officials and military officers, and there is no embarrassing situation where there is no seal.

And this time, Yang Tong mainly made a fuss about substantive positions, martial arts and military officials. The 30-level military officers are the generalissimo of the first rank, the marshal of the first rank, the second marshal and the young marshal of the second rank, and the auxiliary general and the general of the defense of the country from the third rank! Next are the four generals of the four ranks, the four generals of the fourth order, the four towns of the fifth rank, the four ding generals of the sixth rank, the four pings of the seventh rank, the four four orders of the eighth rank, and the four marching generals of the eighth rank, and the colonel, major, captain, and second lieutenant of the ninth rank and the fourth order.

Promotions are mainly embodied in the low-level and middle-level military attachés, which is conducive to stimulating morale and enabling middle and low-level military attachés to stand out.

On the other hand, it is to reform the county soldiers and reserves under the management of the Ministry of Armed Forces, and the local county soldiers have different numbers of troops according to the size of the scope and different responsibilities, and the upper limit is 2,000 people. The reserve was reassigned to the military department and was under the command of the county commander and the county lieutenant.

In this way, the military department is in charge of the soldiers, the military department is in charge of the county soldiers, and the reserve force is jointly managed by the military department and the localities, and the responsibilities and jurisdiction of the three types of armies are clearly defined, and finally constitute a relatively complete military system of the Great Sui.

This is also a plan that Yang Tong has been thinking about for a long time, and was originally going to be launched when the world is unified, but with the smooth progress of the war, the time is ripe for promotion.

Just as Yang Tong was deleting, deleting, and changing, Yin Mingyue walked in and saluted: "Holy Lord, Zuo Servant, Li Shangshu, and the generals ask to see you." ”

"Please." Yang Tong said.

"Whoa."

Not long after the bright moon went down, many civil and military officers walked into the big tent quickly, and saluted one after another: "Meet the saint." ”

"No need to be polite, everyone came together, what's the matter?" Looking at a group of civil and military officers, Yang Tong asked with some curiosity.

"In terms of the saints, the battle of Sui and Wei launched by us is considered to be ninety percent completed, and the other one percent is a few counties such as Dongyang that have not yet been recovered, but Li Mi is dead, and the Wei army in these counties is no longer in the climate, and as soon as the division of the imperial court arrives, it can be easily recovered. Now that the people of the seven counties of Huaibei are stable and the political situation is stable, it is only necessary to leave a small part of the troops to exterminate the bandits and maintain local stability. The pharmacist suggested that the main division move to Nanyang to make good preparations for the battle of Sui and Tang. ”

Yang Gongren spoke first, although he was not the commander of the battle of Sui and Wei, but after all, he was a figure under one person and above ten thousand people, so this mobile court was temporarily represented by Yang Gongren.

"We've been here for a few days and should really move west." Yang Tong nodded and asked Li Jing, "Pharmacist, do you have a specific deployment plan?" ”

"Yes." Li Jing saluted respectfully and said, "Please move the saint." ”

"Pharmacist, please." Yang Tong got up and walked to the sand table on the side, silently waiting for Li Jing's explanation.

"Holy Lord, colleagues. Our army borders on the puppet Tang tripartite, and the direction of Yongliang is condescending, as long as we focus on defense, the Tang army will not be able to enter the Yongliang area at all. The Han Water Defense Line built by the Tang Army is in charge of the Right Servant Shot and General Xue Wanjun, and our army is in the active position, which is not a big problem. What the minister was worried about was the southern county that General Duan was in charge of. Li Jing picked up a wooden pole, pointed it in the direction of Nanjun, and then said: "The Nanjun that General Duan is in charge of was originally in a horn position with Pei Shangshu and General Qin. However, because the war had changed, General Qin defeated Lin Shihong's main force, and his mission was to annihilate Lin Shihong in Poyang County with General Zhang. And Pei Shangshu's energy was also to recover the four counties of Yichun, Linchuan, Luling, and Nankang, and both of them turned to the east, and they had no time to take care of anything else. ”

"Nanjun is in the situation of outflanking Jingling, Xiangyang, and Yiling, although General Duan has 40,000 troops, but after guarding various places, there are very few available troops in his hands. If the Tang army raided Nanjun, Pei Shangshu and General Qin would not have time to rush to help, and the right servant was pinned down by Li Xiaogong's Chungling Army and Xiangyang Army, and they would also not be able to support Nanjun. This was Li Yuan's only chance to gain the initiative at present, once he successfully defeated General Duan, the Tang army would be able to crisscross the counties of Jingzhou south of Nanjun, and if it didn't happen, it would also affect Pei Shangshu and General Qin's eastern strategy. Weichen means to immediately send elite cavalry, day and night, to strengthen the defense of Nanjun. ”

"Could it be that Li Yuan still dares to take the initiative to attack?" Luo Shixin looked at Li Jing with some ignorance, he didn't quite understand this kind of strategic issue involving an all-out war.

"Li Yuan may not dare, but someone may dare." Li Jing nodded in the direction of the Tang army camp in Yuan'an County, Liutoutan, and Yidao County, respectively, and then said: "There are 70,000 Tang troops in Yiling, and the main one will be Li Shimin, the puppet king of the Tang and Jin Dynasties. ”

Yang Tong smiled bitterly: "The pharmacist is reasonable, but it is my negligence. ”

"We had all arranged it properly in advance, but we never expected that Pei Shangshu and General Qin would have a good chance to defeat Lin Shihong's main force. So it's not an oversight on the part of the saints, it's actually because things are changing too quickly. Li Jing said with a smile: "Moreover, the above is Weichen's speculation, and the possibility is extremely small." ”

Yang Tong shook his head, "We can't pin our hopes on the enemy, if the Tang army occupies Nanjun and sets off a bloody storm in Jingzhou, it will be a big trouble." ”

"Not bad." Yang Gongren agreed: "If I were Li Yuan, I would definitely give up Jingxiang cleanly and move the capital to Bashu." Then the forces of the Hanshui defense line were condensed into one, and they shot at the right servant or launched a fierce offensive to cover the imperial court's safe entry into Shu; At the same time, another elite division was sent to attack Nanjun. If, as the pharmacist expected, he succeeded in occupying Nanjun, and then divided his troops into two divisions, one to capture the southern part of Jingzhou, which was empty of troops; One quickly marched north, occupied Anlu and Yong'an, and blocked our reinforcements in the area of Yiyang to cover the southbound army, although due to the problem of national strength, they could not occupy these places in the end. But it was able to bring great trouble to my Great Sui, and when our army regained it, the opposing court not only successfully retreated into Bashu, but also gained a lot of respite through this battle. ”

"Saint" Lieutenant Chi Gong looked at Yang Tong and asked, "What about General Duan?" So what do we do now? ”

Yang Tong was destined to be in the sand table for a long time, and said after a moment of silence: "We are now making three preparations, one is to notify General Duan with Xinying and let him prepare for a big battle; the second is to let Wanjun launch a small-scale attack on the Tang army on the opposite bank of Xiyang, and create the illusion of a full-scale attack on Xiangyang; The third is to send troops, Xinye, where the right servant is located, is closer to Nanjun than we are, so let him send 40,000 elite horsemen to the aid of Nanjun in the starry night, for General Duan Decao to dispatch, in terms of distance, it will only take two or three days. Although Li Yuan's troops are numerous, but the elite division is pitifully few, the morale of the whole army is sluggish, and the will to fight is far inferior to that of our soldiers. In addition......"

Yang Tong looked at Li Jing and said, "The pharmacist led the Second Army and the Eleventh Army to Nanjun, and after arriving in Nanjun, he took over the defense of Nanjun in an all-round way. ”

"Whoa." Li Jing hurriedly responded.

"Du Fuwei, Xue Wanche, Xie Yingdeng, He Panren, Li Zhengbao, the six of you will go out with the army."

"The last will obey." The six generals responded with emotion.

When the six people were in the ranks, Yang Tong said again: "Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan." ”

"The end will be." Two will be listed.

"The two of you led the First Army and the Third Army to Xinye respectively, and the generals of the two major armies all went out with the army."

After looking at the sky, Yang Tong said again: "If it is still early today, you should travel lightly and send troops immediately." ”

"The last will obey."

The generals responded with a bang, although Li Yuan had hundreds of thousands of troops, but these people followed Yang Tong to win battles one by one, and they had a blind sense of trust in him, feeling that as long as Yang Tong was there, there was no battle that the Great Sui could not win!

"Wei Chigong and Su Dingfang, the two of you are the rear army, commanding the foot soldiers, escorting the baggage to Xinye, and Cheng Biting Jin and Xin Fang'er will accompany the army. Inform the whole army that tomorrow the third watch will make rice, and the fifth watch will go to the battle, and there must be no mistakes! ”

"Whoa."

After everyone left, Yang Gongren arched his hand and said: "Holy Lord, the seven counties of Huaibei have just been recovered, and there are still many bandits and rogues in the territory, as well as the Wei army deserters who fled into the mountains. Now that Pei Shangshu is far away in the south, he needs a general to take charge of this matter. In addition, the seven counties of Huaibei are not only mixed with three religions and nine streams, but also large and small forces, although the Kwantung clan was severely damaged by Chen Zhiluo in Liang County, and the power does not exist in ten, but it cannot be underestimated, and the seven counties of Huaibei are the territory that Li Mi has operated for many years, and the weapons hidden by the people are enough to arm an army of tens of thousands of people, and an official who is familiar with both military and political affairs is needed. ”

Yang Tong said: "Zuo servant, tell me your suggestion." ”

Yang Gongren said: "Weichen means to set up Huaibei Xingtai Shangshu Province, and the seven counties will be under the control of Xingtai Shangshu Province, and then dissolve Huaibei Xingtai when the seven counties are restored. Cen envoys are known to the military, the military, and the government, and can be appointed to carry out the Taishang Order; Bingjun Shou is good at governing the place, and he can also be in charge of the Taimin Ministry, and General Yao is in charge of the army, what does the saint think? ”

Regarding Yang Gongren's plan, Yang Tong naturally agreed with it from the bottom of his heart. He knew that Cen Wenwen and Bing Yuanzhen were both talented people.

In particular, Cen Wenwen, is a famous figure in history, in addition to his outstanding literary talents, love for the people and noble character is one of his highlights, although Cen Wenwen in history is a big official, but still lives a simple life, is very filial to his mother, in the face of those old friends who are not very good, he has never been badly treated, and he is very thoughtful in the number of courtesies.

Now that Bing Yuanzhen has been appointed, if he doesn't release Cen Wenwen, it is really a little unreasonable. It's just that Cen Wenwen is famous and famous in the south, and Yang Tong is influenced by "Zhenguan Long Song", thinking that Cen Wenwen is a master of power similar to Changsun Wuji, and he is worried that he will form a gang when he is serving in the south, so he has not released him for a long time.

Yang Gongren knew that the Xiao family had great influence in the south, and if the imperial concubine Xiao Yuexian gave birth to a princess, if the prince was born, the southern people were very likely to push the prince to launch an attack on the crown prince for their own interests, and Cen Wenwen was the grandson of Cen Shanfang, the Shangshu of the Western Liang Dynasty, and the son of Cen Zhixiang, the servant of the Yu Department of the Sui Dynasty, not only had an inextricable relationship with the Xiao family, but also one of the leaders of the Southern Shilin, if someone had bad intentions, he was very likely to be elected as the leader of the southern faction. Therefore, although Yang Gongren had never discussed with Yang Tong, he also thought in his heart that Cen Wenwen was not suitable to serve in the south.

Now arranging Cen Wenwen to the seven counties of Huaibei, which has nothing to do with him, can not only give full play to the talent of the other party, but also not give him the opportunity to form a gang, it is indeed a good choice. What's even more wonderful is that the pure military general Yao Jun belongs to the military and is loyal to the imperial court, and Bing Yuan, who is in charge of civil affairs, is really one of the leaders of Wagangzhai.

"It's a brilliant idea!" Yang Tong said: "Today the official establishment of Huaibei Xingtai Shangshu Province, control Liang County, Huaiyang, Qian County, Ruyin, Pengcheng, Xiapi, Donghai seven counties, Xingtai Province is located in Pengcheng County, Pengcheng County, Cen Wenwen served as Xingtai Shangshu, Yao Junsu served as Xingtai Military Department and Military Department Shilang, Huaiyang County Shoubing Yuanzhen concurrently served as Xingtai Civil Department Shilang. ”

"Wechen obeys." Cen Wenwen, Yao Junsu, and Bing Yuanzhen bowed down to answer the order.

In fact, Yang Tong was poisoned by the so-called historical drama, and he did not understand the real Cen text. In fact, Cen Wenwen is a person who knows advance and retreat, understands the current situation, and abides by the way of people and ministers, in addition to his excellent level of governance, he is most famous for never flattering the powerful, and like Wei Zheng, he is a person who dares to speak out. Although he was a high-ranking official in the Li dynasty and was deeply favored by Li Shimin, he was deeply aware of the way to protect himself, and felt that he did not have any hard work, and only relied on a little pen and ink to achieve the position of prime minister, so he resigned several times.

In fact, Cen Wenwen's biggest dream is to be a parent official and benefit the people, which is his ambition when he was studying. However, when he defected to Xiao Mill, he stayed by Xiao Mill's side every day to dance and write and recite poems, which was incompatible with his own strengths and ideals.

After returning to the Sui Dynasty, the original intention has never changed, knowing that the seven counties of Huaibei are experiencing unprecedented challenges due to the withering of commerce and the sharp decline in population. Yang Tong has now appointed him as the secretary of the Huaibei Xingtai Shangshuling, which is in line with his ideals. Therefore, he felt extremely excited, and planned to govern this land ravaged by the troubled times into a rich land of the Great Sui.
