Since the Chuzhou Army occupied Bozhou in May last year, it has occupied more than 20 state capitals.

Whether it is an ordinary state or a large government like Hangzhou, there are lessons from the past in management, and everything is in order.

Now Hangzhou and Taizhou are guarded by heavy generals, also because they have just gained places, for the sake of stability.

By October, the newly occupied state officials had passed the examination, and there was no shortage of personnel.

The Chuzhou army pays attention to "qualifications", but it is not "seniority", but "those who are capable work hard", which makes many newcomers come forward.

Those who can control the military and political power of a state capital are basically those old people in Bozhou, but there are also civil and military officials from Hezhou, Luzhou, Yangzhou, Jinling and other places who have begun to emerge.

In the past, the Chuzhou army was divided into mountains, which was centered on the marshals, or the geographical division of Black Python Mountain, Quyang, and Chuzhou Yongyang City.

Now the factions in the army are a little chaotic.

It is divided by the background of the commanders, the geographical division of a state and a government, and the division of the white shirt army and the official army.

When it comes to the outside, everyone is naturally a comrade-in-arms of Paoze, hello, hello, hello, everyone; But after the battle, you are still you, and I am still me.

As they came and went, some signs of fighting came out.

Master Lin was happy to see it, and said to Huo Wujin in private: "That's fine, if it is really divided according to the forces of several marshals, it is easy to become a hidden danger." ”

Everyone is the father of the Chuzhou Army, and it has not yet come to the time of civil and military conflict.

Master Lin just wants to be in the head, and he doesn't want the Chuzhou Army to finally split.

Otherwise, the forces of the Chuzhou army are really simply divided by the forces of the marshals, and if someone has a second heart, the Chuzhou army will fall into division.

Now that the various factions are intertwined, even the marshal at the top cannot fully control the forces under his command.

Huo Wu snorted lightly: "It's all idle, Xiaobao said, there will be a martial arts competition in the moon, and let them see the real chapter when the time comes." ”

Master Lin listened and looked at Huo Bao.

This is indeed what Huo Bao meant.

The Chuzhou Army has expanded greatly in the past year and a half, and now it is time to recuperate, otherwise last year's Qichun Army is a lesson from the past.

In July last year, the Qichun army was like a rainbow, and its troops were divided into three routes, and only the "eastward expedition" was one way, capturing more than a dozen state capitals all the way and directly hitting Hangzhou.

You must know that Qichun is 1,500 kilometers away from Hangzhou.

This is just one way, and the other two are "westward expeditions" and "southern expeditions" at the same time, and the battle line is too long, and the territory is occupied too quickly, and it cannot be digested at all.

Subsequently, the imperial court had two people, all the way to "recover" Hangzhou and the prefectures on the way to the "Eastern Expedition", and all the way directly surrounded Qichun, almost making Qichun into a desperate situation.

If it weren't for the fact that Shou Tianwan also had a few fierce generals who defended Qichun, Qichun's nest would have been lost.

With such a lesson, the Chuzhou army put down the pace of conquest.

Now that the Taizhou white shirt next to the couch has been eliminated, what remains is to digest the eight state capitals newly occupied by Jiangsu and Zhejiang, as well as the three state capitals that Monk Feng occupied in Jiangxi before, adding up to eleven state capitals.

You must know that the territory before the Chuzhou Army was only Chuzhou, Hezhou, Luzhou, Yangzhou, Shuzhou, and Shouzhou in Huainan Province, as well as Taiping, Jinling, Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Suzhou, and Songjiang in the south of the Yangtze River.

The eleven state capitals that have just been won must be quiet and stable in order to truly hold them in their hands.

With the conquest of the marshals, along the way, the county soldiers, government soldiers, and provincial defenders were recruited, and now the number of soldiers has exceeded the 500,000 mark.

The biggest problem facing the Chuzhou army now is that there are not enough civilian officials, and the military generals are too idle.

There is no way on the civilian side, and there are few people trained by the Chuzhou Army themselves who can directly take charge of themselves, and they can only be used for demoting.

The important state capital can only dispatch important ministers like Song Lin to sort it out.

There is Yangzhou in front, and now there is Hangzhou.

The population of Hangzhou is not as large as that of Jinling, but it is not much different.

Since the beginning of last year and a half, Hangzhou has changed its principal several times, and the city is very chaotic.

First, the Qichun army occupied, and then the Jiangxi soldiers came, and now it is the Chuzhou army.

There are also benefits to being done three times twice.

That is, the gentry and people in Hangzhou are calm, and there is no large-scale escape of the gentry and people like other state capitals that have not experienced war.

The disadvantage is that the local snakes in Hangzhou Mansion have been subjected to two previous encounters, and they are all solid, and they lack fear of the Chuzhou army.

Except for a few gentry who had dealings with the Chuzhou army before, they were happy to see the Chuzhou army occupy Hangzhou Mansion, and more gentry were still waiting and watching, and they were not obedient to the Chuzhou army.

Such a big mansion has more population and more important status than Yangzhou, so Huo Wu can only ask Song Lin to go out again and preside over the government affairs of Hangzhou Mansion.

Civil officials are frequently transferred, and they can't wait for one person to be broken into two envoys, and the military generals are too idle.

Except for the generals who guarded the place, the rest of the generals returned to Jinling.

They are all young and strong men, and they come and go, and there are a few frictions.

Although no one dares to know the law and break the law, and directly attack their own people, they have also fought against each other several times.

"If you have excess energy, you are all idle, and if you don't accept anyone, you can compete in martial arts!"

Huo Bao said: "More than 1,000 households can sign up, compete in the army, and train recruits." ”

Another disadvantage of the Chuzhou army's rapid expansion is that there are more than 500,000 soldiers, not all of whom have seen blood.

Some old pawns have seen blood, but many new pawns have advanced with the main general's crushing and have not experienced battle formations.

Now that the Chuzhou army is fighting in one state and one county, it is facing the old and weak county soldiers and government soldiers who lack ordnance and do not complain, and they have no decent opponents.

The army crushed, or took the city, or directly accepted the other party's submission.

In this way, for the soldiers, it is like going through the motions, and they have not seen blood, which is not considered experience.

If they really want to encounter strong soldiers, the Chuzhou army will become a "rabble" and will not be able to resist.

The reason why there is a voice of instability in the army is also because the generals who have seen blood are arrogant because of their merits, despise those generals who have not seen blood, and are dissatisfied.

Those generals who have not seen blood are also looking forward to experiencing the battle in person.

The promotion of the Chuzhou army generals must be counted as war merits.

If they don't fight, they won't have military merit, and they're suffocating.

In the name of the "Great Competition", it is also a drill to integrate these soldiers, so that the generals can have a chance to distinguish between the strong and the weak.

When the commanders met at the meeting, Huo Wu mentioned the "big competition" to everyone.

Deng Jian was very interested: "Yes, the daily exercise is to do the work, and it can be counted into the performance appraisal!" ”

Chuzhou military civil and military performance evaluation, quarterly examination, annual examination.

Deng Jian got half of Huo Wu's "Fifth Army Strategy", and he thought about it a lot, and he no longer only focused on the things that were in battle.

Monk Feng has always been lazy, and his fingers pinched and said: "In addition to the local 200,000 defenders, there are more than 300,000 soldiers in Jinling City, and more than 300 people from more than 1,000 households. ”

Huo Wu smiled and said, "Xiaobao has a plan over there, let Xiaobao say." ”

Everyone looked at Huo Bao, Huo Bao did not sell it, and said: "First hold a big competition qualifying competition, according to the number of applicants into groups, divided into sixteen groups, each group of the two strongest teams into the semi-finals, the third ranked team then compete for the remaining four places, a total of thirty-six teams to participate in the competition." Each group of six teams, select the first and second, first select twelve teams, and then decide four from the six third, and sixteen teams will ...... in the next round" Speaking of this, he paused and said: "When this competition is over, it can be a big competition at the level of deputy generals." ”

The military system of Chuzhou is in accordance with the current military system of the imperial court, with 1,000 households under the jurisdiction of 1,000 people, and more than 5,000 deputy generals.

There are 300,000 soldiers in Jinling City, including tens of thousands of logistics soldiers and defenders, and only about 200,000 soldiers.

If all the thousands of households sign up for the competition, there will be more than 200 people, and if the deputy general is a deputy general, it will be more than 40 people.

Although Monk Feng grew up in the temple, he had hills and valleys in his heart, and immediately calculated the approximate number of competitions, nodded and said: "That's fine, I was born in peace before the year." ”

According to Huo Bao's plan, the Chuzhou army can use half a year's effort to conduct a "big competition".

This is just the right time, so that the Chuzhou army can have time to digest the newly occupied eleven state capitals.

At the same time, it is also preparing for war, and now there are still four major forces left in the White Shirt Army, all of which are conquest and expansion.

The imperial court has lost two-thirds of the country, but it is still intriguing.

In this world, it is not far from falling apart.

The owner of the horse village said with a smile: "Although it is for military training, since there is a difference between victory and defeat, you have to get a reward, and the boys will do their best." ”

As for what the reward is, it has to be determined by Huo Wuding.

There are now several percent of the Chuzhou army captured in the Taiwei Mansion, and Huo Wu is not short of money.

He smiled heartily: "Of course, if you win, you will be rewarded, and the team that has obtained the qualification of the big competition will eat meat and drink wine, and the thousands of households who enter the top sixteen will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and the soldiers will be rewarded with two taels of silver; The team that won in the end, Qianhu was directly promoted to deputy general, and the soldiers were rewarded with ten taels of silver......"
