Chapter 286: The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies

Several people discussed in the room for a day, and most of the things were discussed. However, what Li Xin wants to do has not been done yet. Therefore, the meeting had to be resumed the next day. Since there are only a few people in the area, although everyone outside knows that this time the discussion should have an important impact on the entire Huashan Army, and there may be many important matters to decide. But no one could find out anything.

The next morning, everyone then held a meeting in Li Xin's office on weekdays.

"Yesterday, the matter of the six parts was decided. Today, let's talk about the military again! As soon as everyone sat down, Li Xin got straight to the point.

Hearing this, Wang Meng and the others couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then glanced at each other, and then sat down with some hesitation.

"The affairs of the army are all decided by the general! We can only give some advice on the side, after all, I am not as familiar with this line of affairs as the general! Wang Meng spoke first, which probably means that everyone doesn't want to get involved.

This era is an era of turbulent grass kings, and whoever has military power is the boss. Therefore, all those who are in charge of the army do not attach great importance to the military power in their hands. This is also the reason why Wang Meng and they will automatically avoid it, after all, there are some taboos to meddle in these things.

"One person counts short, and everyone counts long! I'm different from other princes and generals, the army is not something that I can catch if I want to~ it, it depends on my own ability. Otherwise, no matter how much you prevent it, it will be impossible to prevent it. You are all people whom I trust, otherwise I would not have said this to you. You know exactly who I am, so don't worry too much! Li Xin knew their worries, so he was relieved.

"The general is merciful, as we have always known. If you have any ideas, just say it! If we have any opinions, we must know everything, and we will say everything! Xu Fuzi hurriedly said on the side.

"That's right! I'm going to set up the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies! Li Xin glanced at everyone and said slowly.

"The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies? Why? It was the first time that everyone had heard this name, and they couldn't help but wonder.

"The so-called Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is the front and rear left and right middle five armies! Each of these armies has a governor in charge of the military of one side. The Ministry of War is in charge of the recruitment of soldiers, while the Governor's Office of the Five Armies is in charge of war training and is responsible for the transfer of troops and the dispatch of generals! The two belong to different departments, but they are interconnected! In normal times, when the world is peaceful and there is no war, then lead the generals back to the house and make a point in the house! If there is a war, appoint a general! Li Xin explained.

Hearing this, Wang Meng and the others somewhat understood. The establishment of these two departments separates the power to transfer troops from the power to command troops. And these two powers were finally unified into Li Xin's body. Whether it is the transfer of troops from the military department, the transfer of the army, or the dispatch of generals, Li Xin must ultimately decide.

In this way, it is impossible for either side to mobilize troops and horses without authorization. In such an era, this can obviously greatly reduce the risk of generals holding their own troops.

The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies should be regarded as Zhu Yuanzhang's invention. In order to weaken the military power of the generals, he can be said to have done many things to the extreme. Of course, Li Xin just borrowed from his big structure, and he won't do his kind of trick in the whole way.

After all, no matter what period it is, whenever there is chaos in the world, it will inevitably be an era of war and chaos. The head of the city changes the banner of the king, today's general and tomorrow's emperor, there are too many such things. casually pull up a few hundred people, and dare to be called a general and a prince, wanting to dominate the world.

Therefore, the establishment of the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces will dispel this possibility from another aspect. Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, Li Xin, the person in charge, must have enough prestige.

Otherwise, if you do it like this, if the generals below are a little ambitious, I am afraid that they will directly rebel. Fortunately, the current Huashan Army does not have this problem. With Li Xin's current status and prestige in the Huashan Army, it is unlikely that this situation will occur.

After all, whether it is Zhou Tong or Li Erhei, or many of the captains below, they are basically the same group of people who came down from Huashan at the beginning. These people can be said to have been cultivated by Li Xin himself, and they are very loyal to him.

It should be said that his consideration is more like preparing for the long term, rather than for the immediate things. Because with the expansion of the territory in the future and the increase in personnel, whether it is an official or a general, it is impossible for him to train it himself.

"The position of the governor of the five armies, I don't know how many official residences there are?" After thinking for a while, Wang Meng asked.

"For the time being, I don't plan to set up a governor, because we don't need that title in our territory right now. Under the governor of the five armies, there is also the post of deputy governor, and then there are the generals! This time the war has been going on for months, and it's time for many generals to get promoted! I guess I won't be the only general in the future! Hehe! Li Xin replied.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing. For so long, he is indeed the only one who can be called a general in the army, Li Xin. Although Li Xin never forbade this matter, everyone tacitly acquiesced to it.

Especially the officers and men in the army, out of awe and respect for Li Xin, spontaneously formed such a convention! This is a little strange compared to the rest of the world.

After all, in other places, let alone a general who led five thousand men and horses, even if he only led two or three hundred people, the general was also called hot.

"Other than that, take advantage of this opportunity. I intend to set up the post of town general in various places, whose position is the same as that of the general, and the establishment of three deputy generals under it, whose position is the same as that of the deputy general! The town general is responsible for leading troops to guard the counties, keep a place safe, command the local town army, and train local soldiers and horses. At the same time, the county lieutenants of each county are in charge of the county guards, responsible for guarding the county seat, fighting bandits, and under the command of the town generals! Once the battle starts, the town generals can also be transferred to the battlefield to participate in the battle! After seeing that everyone understood, Li Xin continued.

"In this way, it can ensure that we have sufficient troops available at critical moments. Especially if there is a small-scale incident in various places, there is no need to mobilize a large army from afar! Wang Meng still agrees with this idea.

Although it is necessary to prevent local forces from gaining momentum, this does not mean that the force of the prefectural commander Taishou should be completely deprived. Otherwise, the local government will become a toothless tiger, and it will not have the majesty and deterrence it should have.

"The transfer, appointment and dismissal of town generals and county lieutenants are all under the responsibility of the Ministry of War, not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Officials! The town will be stationed in the county, but its forces are scattered among the counties. Large counties can be guarded by a town, and small counties can be guarded by a town! In the end, Li Xin deliberately pointed it out.

"The general's meaning, I understand everything." Everyone said in unison.

"After I went back yesterday, I thought about it all night, and I had a rough selection for the squire of the sixth department. While everyone is here, let's discuss! Here, I intend to take the right wing as the left waiter and Liang An as the right waiter! The household department, the right waiter will let Du Kai go! He did a good job in the seat of the county magistrate! On the side of the Ministry of Works, Lao Ma proposed a person to be selected, after all, you know best what talents you have! The Criminal Department asked Yiju County to order Liu Yi to be the left waiter, his political performance in Yiju is also good, and it is time to be promoted! As for the right waiter, let's leave it empty for the time being! In the Ministry of Rites, the right attendant arranged for Yang Qun to go, so he also obeyed us. As for Zuo Shilang, it is also empty for the time being! The discussion came and went, and finally Li Xin said a few more candidates.

There are not many candidates under him, especially not many people who can take on great responsibilities, otherwise, he would not be so embarrassed now, and there is no one to send.

Everyone couldn't help but ponder for a while about this arrangement, and after discussing it with each other in a low voice, they felt that there was no big problem. So, in the end, they all agreed.

"The right attendant of the Criminal Department, there is a candidate for his subordinates, this person is Zhu Tong, a Jingzhao priest, who is knowledgeable and eloquent, and can be used as a candidate for the right attendant of the Criminal Department!" Seeing that there were still two vacancies, Wang Meng thought about it for a while and recommended someone to come out.

"Zhu Tong?" Hearing this name, Li Xin was slightly puzzled, but then remembered the record of this person in the history books.

This person has been recorded in the history books, and there are more than one place. The reason why I have a deep impression of him is because this person is related to Wang Meng and Fu Jian. These two are both important figures in the former Qin, and now they have dealt with him many times, so Li Xin is of course more careful.

Historically, after Fu Jian became the emperor, he wanted to take on Wang Meng's heavy position. Wang Meng refused, and recommended several candidates to replace him, and Zhu Tong was one of them.

Although Fu Jian did not agree, he still entrusted him with important tasks, but because he was recommended by Wang Meng, Fu Jian still appointed those people.

As a result, Zhu Tong also became one of Fu Jian's subordinates. However, after Wang Meng's death, this person catered to Fu Jian's mind and persuaded him to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Although the defeat of the water cannot be regarded as his fault, at least it is a stain on his life.

Of course, although his virtue may be at a loss, being able to get Wang Meng's attention is enough to show that he must have talent. Li Xin is not Fu Jian, so naturally he will not make the same mistake as Fu Jian, so this Zhu Tong can be boldly used!

However, thinking of this Zhu Tong, he thought of another person. That person was one of the people recommended by Wang Meng to Fu Jian in history. At the beginning, he recommended three people, the first one was Fu Rong, this is a person from the Fu family, who had died in battle during the war before.
