Chapter 291: Urgent News from Lyrical Dreams
、、、、、、、、、、
In addition, Yuming also set up a staff department, which was regarded as its own military staff organization, and was appointed by Lang Husi, the former military department of the Great Sui, to join the army, and the main task was to coordinate the coordination between cavalry, infantry and naval divisions, as well as formulate battle plans, equipment supply and distribution, and recruit and distribute recruits.
In this way, the power of this general staff is actually quite large, and without the willingness of the general staff, it will be difficult for the armies to fight alone. This is also the military management model of Yuming combined with later generations, which can not only avoid the situation of self-reliance of army generals, but also avoid the situation of using military control, which leads to the decline of the army's combat effectiveness.
Under the Marshal Department of the Liaodong Xing Battalion, Yuming also set up a ** organization, that is, the Ministry of Finance, Jinyiwei and Yulin Army.
In addition to formulating the budget, the Ministry of Finance is also responsible for attracting investment and developing the economy of Liaodong, and this ministerial position naturally falls on the head of the eldest grandson, because there is indeed no one more suitable than her by Yuming's side. She is the daughter of the eldest grandson's family, quite business-minded, and has a lot of experience in overall planning.
She is Yuming's wife, and in Yuming's opinion, it is natural for his wife to manage money.
At the same time, Yuming asked the eldest grandson Wujian to meet the craftsmen's requirements for money and materials as much as possible when researching weapons and equipment. In the future, he plans to set up other research and development institutions related to science and technology in addition to shipyards and weapons research institutes to promote technological progress as talented people continue to be discovered.
On the other hand, the Jinyi Guard made a clearer division of labor, and the command was still held by the Red Sleeves, and the internal division was subdivided into departments, one was the Security Division, which was mainly to prevent enemy infiltration and investigate possible internal mutinies and instability.
The other is the Foreign Intelligence Department, which mainly collects intelligence on various parts of the Great Sui, Turkic, Tibetan, Great Food, Japan, and Nanyang countries. This is also the department with the most people in Jinyiwei.
And the last one is the Sniper Division, which specializes in assassination, and when needed, will carry out targeted killings of some dangerous enemies.
The Yulin Army is a pro-army directly under the management of Yuming, and its commander is Guo Yi. Its main task is to protect the safety of Yuming, his army, local generals at all levels, and the defense of the Marshal's Palace. In today's parlance, they are the equivalent of a guard battalion, or a shrunken Imperial Guard.
Yuming asked Guo Yi to serve as the commander of the Yulin Army, which was also a helpless choice. Guo Yi is loyal to him, and he is a brother who lived and died together when he was still the captain. It stands to reason that he should have been promoted to a position such as the chief general of the Eighth Army a long time ago.
But Guo Yi has a tendon in his brain, and he doesn't want to die when he fights, but he is not as good as Cheng Biting Gold in terms of resourcefulness. Therefore, he can only be a brave general, but it is difficult for him to be the coach alone.
After some consideration, Yuming had no choice but to let Guo Yi serve as the commander of his pro-army, so as to kill two birds with one stone. It not only gave the old brother a high-status position, but also solved the safety and security work of himself and the camp.
As for the newly attached brothers Fang Xuanling and Fang Xuanzao, Yuming made them the county guards of Pyongyang County and Buyeo County respectively, so as to give full play to their ability to handle internal affairs. After they have made some achievements in the local area, they will be promoted.
When all the official positions were announced, everyone was in high spirits, especially those who were originally low-level officers, and even civilians, who suddenly became court officials, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Of course, there are also many people who have some criticism of this list, if nothing else, mainly because they are a little dissatisfied with Yuming's wife who also holds such an important position in the Liaodong camp. Most of these people are conservative people and have surnames, believing that women cannot be officials.
Many people also went to Yuming's marshal's mansion to bow down and cry for this purpose, citing many examples of harem interference in politics and mishandling the country, hoping that Yuming would not repeat the mistakes of the past. When Yuming heard that these people compared the eldest grandson Wujian, Li Xiuning, and Red Sleeves with Daji, Empress Lu, etc., he couldn't help crying and laughing. But these people are still sincere and persistent, and he couldn't convince them for a long time.
If the appointment of the Liaodong Xingying was withdrawn just because of these people's crying, wouldn't it make his decision a child's play, but if he didn't agree, these people kept kneeling in front of the government office, which made people look at it and really didn't like it.
Later, Yuming had no choice but to adopt the method proposed by the eldest grandson Wuji, saying that they were acting positions, and the real power was still in their own hands, but they were busy with their own affairs, so let them handle it on their behalf, and as soon as they found suitable talents, they would be dismissed. That's how to get rid of these diehards.
This incident also sounded the alarm for Yu Ming, he just appointed his wife as an official, there are so many people who oppose it, and it is not a question of their ability, just a gender factor, so opposed. If I want to carry out any major reforms in the future, I don't know how big the wave of opposition will be.
Thinking of this, Yuming felt that it was urgent to carry out education for all. It's just that there are really no teachers around him, although there are many people in the surname, but these people are the main force who just cried and petitioned, how dare Yuming let these people educate the surname.
In the end, it was Red Sleeves who gave him an idea, starting with the army, soldiers in the army often only recognize force and military exploits, not gender, otherwise Red Sleeves would not let so many soldiers obey her.
And these soldiers are relatively more progressive in their thinking and can accept the idea of equality between men and women. However, most of them are illiterate, and they need to be taught to read first.
So, Yuming decided to set up the Liaodong Military Academy and let those people teach the soldiers in the army to read. However, he also stipulated that the soldiers could only be taught to read and write, and they could not teach any poems, analects, and the Four Books and Five Classics.
The reason given by Yu Ming was that the infantry soldiers had to train regularly to march and set up formations, and the officers and soldiers of the naval division had to go to sea for exercises, and those four books and five classics could only be slowly learned when they were almost literate.
Of course, Yu Ming had already made up his mind that once the soldiers were literate, he would kick these people away and let himself and Wei Chi Jingde, Qin Qiong, and Hu Sizheng educate the soldiers instead.
Now the highest status in Liaodong is the army, and their influence and prestige among the surnames are high. When the soldiers' minds have been reformed, it will be relatively easy for them to influence other castes.
Only then did Yu Ming deeply feel that ideological progress is far more difficult than technological progress. The outlook on life, values, and perceptions of certain things that are fixed in people's brains are so ingrained that it is really hard to change.
After inspecting the army, Yuming returned to the Marshal's Mansion and was about to drink a cup of tea and catch his breath, but saw Red Sleeves come in with a serious face.
"Sister Red Sleeves, has something happened?" Yu Ming saw that the red sleeves came to him with such an expression, and there was a lot of important information that Jinyiwei had found.
"Husband, Yang Guang really can't breathe, and he is going north to attack the Turks!" The red sleeves are in color.
With that, she took out a letter from her arms and handed it to Yu Ming.
Yu Ming opened it and saw that the letter was written half a month ago, when Yang Guang was at the court meeting, he announced that he was about to attack the Turks. According to Yang Guang's meaning, in two months, the major armies will be in place, and then the offensive will be launched.
Seeing the content of the letter, Yang Guang actually planned to send troops to attack Tiele, Murowei, Xue Yantuo and other departments on the prairie, Yuming only felt funny.
This one does not have much hatred with him, and although he is currently temporarily subjugated to the Turks, he has always been dissatisfied with Shibi Khan. If you really want to deal with the Turks, I'm afraid you will have to win them over. If they send troops to attack this part, won't they force them to the side of the Turks?
After looking at Yang Guang's plan to send troops with an army of 500,000, Yu Ming also shook his head again and again.
The 500,000 army was divided into five, and it was scattered on the border line of more than 2,000 miles from Fengzhou to Beiping, although Li Jing, Qu Tutong, Wang Rengong, Luo Yi and others were all famous generals, and the subordinate generals were also elite soldiers, but the number was small.
More than half of the 500,000 troops, the entire 270,000 troops, were led by Yang Guang himself, so there was no need to fear a sneak attack from the Turks. It's just that since these soldiers want to ensure Yang Guang's safety, it is unknown how much they can put into the attack. In this way, the main force of the Sui army was more like it came to threaten the Turks than to fight against the Turks.
"Pass the order! Our Liaodong armies have begun to be reorganized and have entered a state of imminent battle, and we must be ready to march with 100,000 troops at any time. After discussing with the generals, Yu Ming made such a decision.
He was not so stupid, he really followed Yang Guang's orders and went all out to fight the Turks, but he had to put on a posture. Moreover, he had a vague feeling that Yang Guang's action to go to the Turks this time was not so simple, at least from the perspective of the arrangement of troops, it was very clumsy. It's not like Yang Guang, a commander who commanded the battle to destroy Chen, has a normal ability to react.
And at this moment, the guard at the door reported: "Marshal Qiqi, a handlebar surnamed Wu came from the Eastern Capital, saying that he was the descendant of the Dream Girl, saying that there was something urgent to tell you!" ”
"The handlebar style surnamed Wu?" Yu Ming was stunned for a moment, and the image of the lean man who hurried to the original and informed Yang Guang to be unfavorable to him immediately appeared in his mind.
"Invite him in!" Yu Ming said hurriedly.
A moment later, the old Wu who had been acquainted with Yu Ming walked in, he solemnly saluted the young marshal, and then took out a letter sealed with fire paint from his bosom and handed it to Yu Ming.
Yu Ming opened the envelope and saw a line of handwriting on the paper, which was indeed the handwriting of the dream. But the contents of this letter shocked him.
