Chapter 323: Troop Deployment
After the establishment of the Martyrs' Shrine, the incense continued for a while, and it was obvious that the people around Yushan Town regarded the Martyrs' Shrine as a local "fairy temple", and they all came to worship the martyrs of the Ming Dynasty in the Martyrs' Shrine.
The families and relatives of those fallen soldiers continued to come to mourn, and Liu Juntao was also very relieved to hear the news.
At this time, the strength of all battalions in Yushan Town has been fully replenished in place, due to the consumption of the battle of King Qinwang in the north, the cost of building the Martyrs' Shrine, and the money and food for the casualties are all huge beginnings, so the Ministry of Commerce of Yushan Town is temporarily under some pressure.
After all, at this time, the strength of each battalion in Yushan Town already had more than 30,000 horses, and the equipment, training, military salary, food and other expenses of these more than 30,000 soldiers, plus the tens of thousands of excellent war horses captured by the army going north this time, Yushan Town's military expenses alone have reached more than 300,000 taels of silver per month!
This is not counting the various expenses of the rest of the industries in Yushan Town, although the Ministry of Commerce of Yushan Town is very profitable, but it must also live within its means, and must not expand too fast.
Therefore, Liu Juntao can only temporarily redeploy the troops of the battalions in Yushan Town, after all, he is the chief military officer of the town, and the commanders of the battalions under his command are also rising, and one person and one general can't run, and even the garrison locations with the battalions have to be reconsidered.
At this time, there are several important locations in Yushan Town:
Yushan Town: This is the core area of the Yushan Town system, all departments of Yushan Town are stationed here, and it is also Liu Juntao's base camp and foundation! Therefore, heavy troops must be stationed.
Huakou Town, Yushan Town Military Bureau, Yushan Workshop, Zhang Qiu Town, Anshan Town and other places are all within the scope of Yushan Town, and these places are the most core areas of Liu Juntao!
Yanzhou Mansion City: This will be the station of Liu Juntao's opening town, and Ren Chengwei will be stationed in the same city, which represents the authority of Liu Juntao, the chief military officer of Yanzhou Prefecture, and must garrison the elite soldiers and horses under Liu Juntao.
The nearby Ningyang County, Surabaya County, Zou County, Ziyang County and other places are all within the general scope of Yanzhou's capital city.
At the same time, the capital city of Yanzhou is close to Qufu County, and after Liu Juntao is stationed in the capital city of Yanzhou, he can strengthen the contact with Yan Shenggong of Qufu County and the commander of the city guard in the same city, and the tripartite alliance will be more stable!
Jining Prefecture: It is located in the western part of Yanzhou Prefecture, and after the soldiers and horses are stationed, it can deter Juye County, Jinxiang County, Dingtao County, Caozhou County, Shanxian County and other western prefectures and counties of Yanzhou Prefecture, and can echo Xuzhou in the south.
Linyi County: Linyi County is located in the southeast of Yanzhou Mansion, connected to Qingzhou Mansion and Nanzhili, which is a crucial link in Liu Juntao's next planning!
The surrounding Cangshan County, Fei County, Teng County and other places are all within the jurisdiction of Linyi County, and further east of Linyi County is Anton Wei of Qingzhou Mansion, facing Haizhou Bay, where Liu Juntao will reserve the sea outlet!
Then, in order to facilitate the dispatch between the battalions, Liu Juntao ordered that the battalion numbers of all battalions in Yushan Town be uniformly revised after finalizing these important locations, and the garrison locations of each battalion were demarcated:
The Yanzhou Mansion Qi Barracks was changed to the Central Military Camp under the command of the Yanzhou Chief Military Officer, and Liu Juntao personally commanded the garrison as the Yanzhou Capital City;
In the battalion, the general of the battalion was promoted to guerrilla general, Bai Yuxing's headquarters was stationed in the city of Yanzhou, while Taoji's new headquarters was stationed in Ningyang County, Surabaya County, and Zou County, and Taoji Xinduo's guerrilla general's headquarters was stationed in Ningyang County.
The main barracks of Yanzhou Mansion was changed to the front battalion under the command of the Chief Military Officer of Yanzhou Prefecture, and the commander Sun Xu was promoted to a staff general, and the station was Jining Prefecture;
Among them, some of the troops under Meng Fanchen's command were stationed in Juye County, Jinxiang County, and Dingtao County, and Meng Fanchen's guerrilla general headquarters was located in Juye County.
The left battalion of the Yushan Town Guard was changed to the left battalion under the command of the chief officer of Yanzhou Prefecture, and the commander Chen Ziping was promoted to a general, and the station was Linyi County;
In addition to one part of the battalion stationed in Linyi County, another division of officers and men was stationed in Cangshan County, Fei County, and Teng County.
The right battalion of the Yushan Town Guard was changed to the right battalion under the command of the chief military officer of Yanzhou Prefecture, and the commander Gao Ran was promoted to a general, and the station was Yanzhou Prefecture; In the battalion, Chang Hongdao and other thousand generals were promoted to guerrilla generals.
Liu Juntao is ready to use this battalion of soldiers and horses as a mobile force under his command, and in the face of emergencies, he can quickly assemble troops to attack without mobilizing troops stationed in various places!
The former battalion of the Yushan Town Guard was changed to the pioneer battalion under the command of the chief military officer of Yanzhou Prefecture, and the commander Zhang Xiaojun was promoted to a staff general, and the station was Yushan Town; Liu Youfu, the commander of the battalion, was promoted to guerrilla general, and Liu Youcai, the former commander of Qianqian, who had died a lot in battle, was posthumously named a guerrilla general.
The first part of the battalion was stationed in Yushan Town with Zhang Xiao's army, while the guerrilla general Liu Youfu set up his garrison in Anshan Town, and at the same time divided his troops into garrison in Weilikou Town, Yushan Town Military Bureau, Yushan Workshop, Zhang Qiuzhen and other places.
The rear battalion of the Yushan Town Guard was changed to the rear battalion under the command of the chief military officer of Yanzhou Prefecture, and the commander Yan Hu was promoted to garrison (general treatment), and the station was Xuzhou;
Yan Hu led a group of soldiers to garrison the Xuzhou Military Bureau in Qulipu, while the other army was stationed in various mineral deposits in Yunlong Mountain.
Of course, since Liu Juntao has been promoted to the chief military officer of Yanzhou Mansion, it stands to reason that the soldiers and horses under his command must not go out of the realm at will, and it is not allowed to be stationed at the boundary of Xuzhou Mansion.
Therefore, the banner of the soldiers and horses in the rear battalion of Yan Hu's department is still the rear battalion of the Yushan Town Guard, so as to attract people's eyes.
Finally, it is the iron cavalry battalion of the Yushan Town Guard of Zhou Zongsheng's department, this time Liu Juntao changed his department to the iron cavalry battalion under the command of the chief military officer of Yanzhou Prefecture, and the station is Yushan Town;
Zhou Zongsheng was promoted to a general, and his subordinates were promoted to guerrilla generals, and at the same time, the tens of thousands of war horses captured by the army, in addition to selecting some to supply the rest of the battalion, most of the war horses were allocated to the iron cavalry battalion for the expansion of the iron cavalry battalion in the future.
After the garrison locations of each battalion and the change of battalion numbers were completed, Liu Juntao ordered the Yushan Town Workshop to step up the production of new banners for each battalion.
On this day, Liu Juntao set up a banquet at the Yushan Town Government Office to entertain the generals of each battalion, and after tomorrow, the generals of each battalion will lead their troops to their respective stations to take up their posts.
As for the generals' request for merit, Liu Juntao has also reported to the Ministry of War, and Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, will definitely not stop it, I believe that it will not be long before the generals' promotions will be issued.
That night, Liu Juntao and the generals gathered together, everyone was staggered, drinking and laughing, Zhang Baigui, Guo Yongzhong, Tang Yu and others also took the ministers to the banquet to accompany them, and the generals spent a good night together.
The next day, the generals of each battalion said goodbye one after another, and Liu Juntao led their own soldiers and soldiers to the station.
And Liu Juntao also returned home, at this time Guo Muying was already ready to go under the service of a group of maids and subordinates, and everything at home had been packed up, and most of the things had been packed and put on the cart.
At the same time, the soldiers of the middle military camp under Liu Juntao and the right battalion of Gao Ran's department drove out of Yushan Town one after another, and the soldiers of the two battalions were already on standby outside Yushan Town.
Liu Juntao looked at the people who came to see him off, and said with a smile to Zhang Baigui: "Minister Zhang, the gunners I brought back should be taken care of, and when I settle down in Yanzhou City, I will rush back, and then our Yushan Town will start casting our own artillery, and these gunners will come in handy!" ”
Listening to Liu Juntao's words, not only Zhang Baigui's eyes lit up, but even the people next to him were excited.
After that, Liu Juntao said to Guo Yongzhong, Tang Yu, Liu Zi'an, Lan Siqi, Hu Dexing and others: "The station of our various departments in Yushan Town is still in Yushan Town, but the Investigation Department and the Zanhua Department must be prepared to move to Yanzhou Mansion as soon as possible." The rest of the ministries are on the first day of each month, and the ministers and Si Cheng all rushed to Yanzhou to report to me! ”
When everyone heard this, they hugged their fists and took orders, and Liu Zi'an and Lan Siqi even said: "Please rest assured, we will lead our troops to Yanzhou Mansion in a few days." ”
Subsequently, Liu Juntao helped Guo Muying, who had already shown his arms, to sit in a shock-absorbing carriage equipped with high-quality springs in Yushan Town, while he flew onto the war horse, hugged his fists and said goodbye to Guo Yongzhong, Zhang Baigui, Tang Yu, Liu Zi'an, Lan Siqi and others who came to see him off, and led the army to Yanzhou with a wave of his hand.
