Chapter 16, Yang Qing's eastward journey
In the Jin Dynasty, even if the main force was once reorganized into the Chinese army, unless it was in charge of the part of the guard, it only listened to the orders of Zu Li, and Shangshu Province could not intervene at all. But since the Hua Jin Chan Dynasty, Zu Ti and his subordinates obeyed Pei Gai, it is naturally impossible to follow the old example, Pei Gai gave a commitment to ensure the integrity of his army, and Zu Shizhi naturally had to make a certain degree of concessions.
First of all, it is necessary to reorganize according to the military system of the imperial court, adding three levels of platoon, department, and brigade, and the list of generals above the platoon level must be reported to the Privy Council for the record; secondly, Sima was set up at all levels above the team, on the one hand, to verify merit and demerits, and on the other hand, to carry out political propaganda, most of these Simas were appointed by the ancestral army himself, but nearly one-third were appointed by Luoyang; Third, the law in the army was changed from the old system of the Guanzhong army - of course, in fact, the difference is not too big.
As for the fourth, in the reconquest of the lost land, the guards of the counties and even the pavilions, Zu Ti has the right to appoint, but they must be reported to the Shangshu Province for the record, and the Shangshu Province can also be replaced according to the situation.
Originally, in the Jin Dynasty, the Pei army was in the west, and the ancestral army was in the east, each training its own soldiers, each fighting its own battle, called watching and helping each other, but in fact, the connection between them was not close. Now that it has returned to the Hua Dynasty, it can no longer be like this, and Hua Ting will naturally slowly stuff people into the ancestral army and mix it with sand, in order to gradually control it. For Zu Ti, as long as you don't go too far, don't affect my battle against the karma, although I am dissatisfied, I can only pinch my nose and admit it.
Because of this, for the front-line generals, or the headquarters of Zu Ti, Hua Ting is still inconvenient and does not dare to stretch out his hand too much, and Li Ju in Tunhe and Wei Hai stationed in Fangtou, personnel placement and transfer are relatively frequent - Li and Wei are both old generals of the old Jin Dynasty, and they were not the core members of the Zujia Army, and the second general also has the idea of changing the court, so there is no objection to the arrangement of the Privy Council.
That is, according to Wei Hai, his brigade Sima and the three battalion Sima under him are all from Guanxi; In addition, the Privy Council also used the reason that the number of brigades was incomplete, and more than 500 veterans of the Kansai region were newly recruited. However, Sima was generally two levels lower than the chief officers of the various departments, Wei Hai was a major general, and his brigade Sima was a colonel.
Therefore, this opportunity was reported: "Yang Qing, the squire of the Privy Provincial Military Department, came to ......" Wei Hai couldn't help but be surprised, and said that a squire was a four-grade soldier with a military rank of colonel, but I knew that this Yang Qing, he married the queen's sister, and was named the Marquis of Xiangyi County, who was the confidant of the Son of Heaven, the rank of major general, and "lined" the squire of the military department with high quality. This guy is of the same grade as me, and his title is one level higher than mine, what is he doing at the front line? Could it be that the imperial court wants to dismiss me from my post and take Yang Qingqing as a result?
I was worried in my heart, and hurried out of the camp to greet him.
I saw a group of people lined up in front of the battalion, and when he saw Wei Hai coming out, he immediately dismounted, held the horsewhip upside down, and arched his hand: "Is it General Wei under your feet?" The end is Yang Qing. β
Wei Hai looked Yang Qing up and down, and saw that this person was very young, estimated to be less than thirty years old, similar to Guo Yu, but younger than his own family. Although he is also from a martial arts background, perhaps because he has been sitting in the rear for the past few years, Yang Qing's complexion is quite fair-skinned, and Wei Hai and Guo Yu, generals who have been in the army for a long time and often brave the wind and frost and scorching sun, can be distinguished at a glance.
Yang Qing was not wearing armor, and his body was a set of black and red military clothes, with a gold belt around his waist and a purple ribbon. As for the head, he wears a black leather jacket with a five-pointed gold star inlaid in the center......
Wei Hai couldn't help but say in his heart, this dress is very majestic, I should also go and prepare a set.
The military generals of the Wei and Jin dynasties, the same as the scribes, all stipulated the sacrificial clothes and ceremonial dresses of the four seasons, but did not stipulate the regular clothes, and the so-called military uniforms with pleated clothes on the upper body and long trousers on the lower body were mostly not worn on formal occasions. Theoretically, it was not until the time of Emperor An of Jin that the edict was issued: "When the officials are marching, they do not prepare red clothes, and they order the hakama to obey." "When a military attachΓ©, or a civilian official, performs military affairs, it is considered to have a permanent service system. Before that, there was no uniform color in the army, and they often came how to dress comfortably.
The Hua Dynasty only set a set of sacrificial clothes and a set of official clothes (the formal dress and the regular dress are one), but the new system, it is naturally impossible to order the whole army to change clothes immediately - just changing the flag is a big project - the imperial court only rewarded Zu Ti with a set of regular clothes, and Wei Hai and other generals did not have time to replace it. In addition, according to the system, the marshal and Yuan Rong should be equipped with gold and Yue helmets, and the generals at all levels should make star-shaped helmets with gold and silver, and the lieutenants should use copper as buckle-shaped helmets, so as not to go up and down, and give orders, but Zu Ti thinks that this is purely a waste of money face project, he has always been frugal, but he is not matched, and Wei Hai and others naturally dare not match.
Therefore, Wei Hai couldn't help but be hot when he saw Yang Qing's hakama spirit and Venus brilliance today, compared to him, although he was wearing armor and helmets, he seemed to be a hillbilly. Hearing Yang Qing's inquiry, his face changed slightly, and he immediately returned to normal, and arched his hand: "The last general is Wei Hai, welcome Yang Shilang." β
Yang Qing Duomin's person immediately smiled and waved his hand, and said, "General Wei is in the army, I think he hasn't had time to subdue yet." It just so happened that the imperial court rewarded the general with a set of official clothes and ordered me to bring it. Immediately, a small official drove forward with a wooden box behind him.
Yang Qingdao: "You can enter the camp first, the general will change his clothes, and then come to listen to Yang's edict." β
Wei Hai hurriedly brought Yang Qing and the others into the camp, and then accused Yang Qing and asked him to wait for a while, and he ran behind to change his clothes. After a short time, wearing hakama pleats, feet on leather boots, holding a leather bin in one hand, and rubbing the gold star on it in the other, he turned back to the main hall, and only after entering the door did he hurriedly put the ben on.
Standing on the opposite side, the two sides were dressed similarly, the two Venus stars were shining in each other, and Wei Hai was half a head taller than Yang Qing - he felt comfortable all over his body.
And taking advantage of the moment of changing clothes, Wei Hai also figured it out, although Yang Qing is the Son of Heaven, after all, he has never heard of any outstanding contributions, he has been sitting in the office in the back. If the court orders Yang Qing to replace me, I will say that the military situation is urgent, and I must not be a non-person, and if I go directly to Marshal Zu, there will probably be room for rearound......
Yang Qing took the edict to read it, but there was nothing to say, the meaning of the text was quite simple, and Wei Hai could roughly understand it - it turned out that the Son of Heaven specially ordered Yang Qing to come to Fangtou to assist Wei Hai in the allocation of grain and materials, not to seize his military power.
Wei Hai put his heart in his stomach at this time, and he was about to order a banquet to catch the wind for Yang Shilang. Yang Qing waved his hand and said, "This is not a meal, why bother with a banquet?" It's still business. He immediately asked: "The river has not been very smooth recently, resulting in the grain transportation having to go by land, the loss is large, and the movement is slow, does General Wei know about this?" β
Wei Hai smiled bitterly: "Wei is anxious about this matter. Marshal Zu fought against the thieves in Santai, and the army consumed nearly 500 grains a day, urging every day, and if the grain from the West could not be delivered to Fangtou in time, I am afraid that it would be unfavorable to the army......"
Yang Qing asked: "How much grain is there in the fangtou now?" β
Although Wei Hai is not specialized in logistics, he was ordered to protect the grain, and the number of grain stored must be checked every day, so he immediately replied: "If it is less than 20,000 Hu, it can be used for a month at most." β
Yang Qing immediately frowned and asked: "Since Marshal Zu left Xingyang Beidu, it has been sixty-seven days, and it has been reported that 35,000 Hu of grain has been stored in the army, and the country has exported 60,000 Hu to the east. Could it be that most of the grain and materials have been transferred to the front line? β
Wei Hai shook his head and said: "For Jiao'an, he often plotted to disturb my grain transportation, so he didn't dare to store more before." Linzhang, Anyang, Dangyin and other cities, each no more than two or three thousand grains......"
Yang Qing spread his hands: "Where are the few ones?" β
Wei Haixin said what do you mean, do you suspect me of corruption? couldn't help but be angry on his face, and immediately ordered someone to bring the account book, spread it on the case, and said: "The accounts are all here, if Yang Shilang doesn't believe it, he can check and judge - where will there be 20,000 grains in and out?" β
Yang Qing smiled and arched his hand: "General Wei, don't be angry. The general of the country, since the Jin Dynasty, has inherited the will of the uncle, fought the royal car, is famous all over the world, and his loyalty can be learned, how can the court doubt the reason of the general? Then Zhengse said: "To tell the truth, I know with the general that not only is it difficult to transport water, which leads to the delay in the follow-up grain and straw, but also the Tuoba Xianbei side invaded Taiyuan in the south. The state treasury, which had to supply the war on both the eastern and western fronts, was overwhelmed. It was the Son of Heaven who ordered me to come here to assist the general, Yang Qing has nothing else to do, but he has some experience in military resource scheduling......"
In fact, even in response to the war on two fronts, the grain stocks in Luoyang and the surrounding treasury are still enough to support more than half a year, but you have to stay a little rich, and you have to be prepared for emergencies. Originally, Pei should still be worried, if I said that the food was running out, let the ancestral army save some food, would Zu Ti suspect that he wanted to be frustrated? It happened that Tuoba went south and gave him enough excuses.
Yang Qingnai said: "Marshal Zu played in front of him, and in March, he will defeat the thief, and Luozhong will be scarce again, and the Son of Heaven will also order us to search the treasury, and it is necessary to fill in the needs of this March." But he was really embarrassed, so he had to ask for an order to come to Fangtou to assist General Wei, so that every grain and a bunch of grass could be used. β
Then he patted his chest: "It's not a boast, in the past, in Guanzhong, the battle of Taiyuan was supplied, and the Guanzhong army was originally thicker than your army, and it can be carefully planned to make enough food and use." Therefore, coming here today is really to assist General Wei, and there is no doubt that the general is jealous. As he spoke, he pressed the account book on the case and said that I would take a good look first, not to check the accounts, but to find out the space that could be saved, can the general allow it?
He has said everything to this point, how can Wei Hai not allow it? Besides, I ordered someone to take out the account book, which was originally for you to check, anyway, every day is clear, I have a clear conscience, and I am not afraid of you picking bones in your eggs.
But who would have thought that Yang Qing immediately ordered someone to take an abacus and lay his head in the case for more than an hour, and he really picked out a lot of "bones......
The abacus is a calculation tool, at least in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the mathematician Xu Yue wrote the "Records of Mathematics" mentioned: "The abacus controls the belt with four times, and the longitude and latitude are three talents." However, the abacus at that time was very different from that of later generations, with three grids up and down, and a string of five beads in each grid, so it was called "three talents of warp and weft", and the calculation method was closer to calculation, rather than the abacus that was finalized after the Song Dynasty.
Pei should pay great attention to the digital management of both military and political - of course, because of the restrictions of the times, he can only get a little bit of it - but he can make drafts and list formulas, but this method is inconvenient to teach others-if you accidentally leak out Arabic numerals, it will be unclear. Moreover, the speed of pen arithmetic is not as good as that of abacus after all, so he searched for dry intestines, "invented" the abacus, and "restored" the abacus mantra that he had practiced in elementary school in his previous life, but had almost forgotten.
In the past, Chang'an Xingtai, and now in the Luoyang Imperial Court, all officials must learn abacus, and the highest level abacus expert has to be regarded as Yang Qing. At that moment, he was lying on the desk, pulling the abacus with his right hand, and checking the account book with his left hand, his ten fingers were running like the wind, and his sound was like a torrential rain.
Wei Hai was convinced. He thought that he also knew some calculations and could make calculations, so Zu Ti handed over the responsibility of protecting food to his shoulders. But under normal circumstances, the specific account books are made by the subordinates, and the numbers are counted by the subordinates. I didn't expect a general at the same level as himself to calculate the accounts faster than those old officials, and sure enough, the Son of Heaven reused this person, not just because of nepotism......
When Yang finished settling the accounts, he immediately pointed out the dozens of places he had marked to Wei Hai one by one, and explained them in detail. Through this audit, Wei Hai found out two worms in the army who deceived their superiors and subordinates and embezzled food and salaries - the two petty officials thought that the accounts were well done, and it was difficult for the general to see the loopholes, but under Yang Qing's reasoned questioning, they had to be punished on the spot.
Wei Hai immediately ordered the two fangs to be pushed out of the gate and beheaded.
But how much can two petty officials embezzle? Even if it is recovered, it will only be six or seven hundred hundreds of grain. Wei Hai asked Yang Qing: "The difference between Shi Langyun and Langyun is about 20,000 Hu, where is the remainder?" β
Yang Qing immediately smiled and said I haven't finished telling you yet, these six or seven hundred hu are man-made losses, and the rest are natural losses, but they can be completely compensated!
That is, the amount of grain and grass required by each brigade and even each battalion and each department was compared with what Wei Hai actually allocated, one by one, and the result was that the general, you calculated the loss too widely, which gave some unscrupulous people the opportunity to start-
"In the general's camp, there are only two officials who break the law, but how do you know that there are no other people in the army? If the losses on the way are more accurately calculated, then it will be difficult for them to find an opportunity to be greedy for ink - Fang Zi fierce battle, if the soldiers' grain and grass are detained, how can there be no reason not to report to Sima in time? Marshal Zu's military law is very much, how can he not carry out a thorough investigation? β
In addition, there are still debatable points in the management of grain and grass and the overall planning of transportation routes - "I think that grain should not be transported far away, and the soldiers will be tired and will inevitably make mistakes, and the servants carry more rations, and the loss on the way is also large." It is better to sing from the head of the fang, from the song and the yin, from the yin and Anyang, from Anyang and Linzhang, and escort the way. In the past, in Guanzhong, this policy was also practiced, but the planning was lawful, and the loss on the way could be less than two or three percent. β
Wei Hai asked: "The reason why I don't store more grain in Anyang, Dangyin and other places is because I am afraid that the thieves will harass and cut off the road, if it is as the waiter said, if there is a mistake, how to deal with it?" β
Yang Qing said with a smile: "Grain is on the way, it is naturally easy to lose, if it is stored in the city, then what is lost?" If the thieves come by a detour and fall back to the cities, then our army will be cut off from the back and will naturally be defeated - why worry about the food falling into the hands of the thieves? β
After finishing it, he smiled and said: "As for how to coordinate the soldiers and horses, guard and protect the grain transportation, this general's responsibility is also, how dare Yang put his beak?" "I'm really here to help dispatch grain and grass, the military power is still in your hands, you have the final say-it is estimated that my fate will be according to the disaster star that the whole army will be wiped out, if it is not necessary, I dare not lead the troops in person......
