19. New Military Law for Armor Protection

But then Gao Yue reminded Pei Du that what you do in Caizhou is to paint the fields of several counties, and also to implement the armor protection system in Caizhou.

Baojia, Gao Yue and Wei Gao implemented the meridian boundary law in Xingyuan and Xichuan respectively. Now it is necessary to implement the improved new armor protection system in the whole of Huainan, and first pilot it in Caizhou and Gwangju.

The armor protection system is complementary to the meridian law. Its essence is a kind of household registration management system, as long as the household registration is cleaned up in place, then it is logical to paint each household property.

Gao Yue told Pei Du: From now on, the countryside of Caizhou will abolish the old system of the lieutenant chief, and the township boundaries will also be re-divided. Each household is selected as "Jiatou", and each household is selected as "Baotou". The responsibility of the head is to jointly produce, supervise the payment of taxes and the department, and the head of the head also shoulders a responsibility, that is, to organize the joint defense system.

The purpose and duty of the night patrol is what Gao Yue said, "it is forbidden to hook up with mountain sheds and river thieves", "when encountering mountain sheds and river thieves, that is, beating drums to call the police", "if there are mountain sheds and river thieves to commit, they will gather to protect the armor and protect the village community", "prohibit the sale of stolen goods, prohibit nesting stolen goods", "prohibit gambling", "prohibit arson, prohibit the killing of livestock, and prohibit rape".

This time it was Han Yue's turn to have questions, so Gao Yue asked him to get up and say.

"Since the armor and strong men have the duty of patrolling the night and joint defense, they can't do it without bows and arrows, and a bow costs half a penny, and ten arrows cost two hundred, and each one must have thirty bows and a thousand arrows, which alone requires thirty-five yuan, not to mention other teaching expenses."

Gao Yue's response to this is that we can use the "official loan method" for the weapons needed to protect the armor.

The official loan method is to "lend" the armor of the Wu Yi Army, some of the obsolete semi-old but still usable armor weapons, such as bows, palladium, handles, leather armor, etc., to protect the armor everywhere, and each to build a number of shooting stacks, shop houses, and shooting pavilions, which are used for reserve drills, and are inspected once a year, and the armor bears a small amount of "repair staff fees".

"After the completion of the armor protection law, Huainan will be able to remove all the united soldiers in the prefecture and county, so that the annual ration and pickle money can be reduced." Originally, Huainan's unity soldiers were also Tutuan, and the amount was 15,000, and the annual cost also required more than 200,000 yuan.

In addition, the armor protection law can also incorporate all the young and strong people in Huainan into Gaoyue's military service system.

In the past, Gao Yue was in Xingyuan, and he made a dualistic military system of "generals and archers".

Now he wants to implement a three-tier military system in Huainan of "Wuyi Army, Zhenshu Army, and Baojia Zhuangding".

At first glance, this system is quite similar to what Han Yun once implemented in Xuanrun.

When Han Rong was guarding Jiangdong and Zhejiang, he divided the army into two categories, namely Guanjian and Tuanjiezi, the former was the financial burden of the Jiedu Envoy, and the latter was the financial burden of the state. Among them, Guanjian is divided into two categories, namely the "Zhen Navy" of the Ya Army directly belonging to Han Rong, and the Danyang Army guarding Runzhou (the Zhen Navy and the Danyang Army are stationed in Jingkou of Runzhou), the Quarrying Army guarding Xuanzhou and the Yisheng Army guarding Yuezhou, these three belong to the "Outer Town Army". And unite the children, that is, "put the children's army, 1,000 in large states, 800 in small states, the strong learn bows and crossbows, the weak learn to platoon guns, slow to repair farmers, urgent to soldiers" ("Yuhai. Military system" Tangshan River children entry). In the end, there were as many as 30,000 of the Ya Army and the Waizhen Army under Han Rong's command, "the crossbow is strong and the sword is sharp, and it is difficult to be called", and as for the unity soldiers under his rule, the total number should also be 10,000 to 20,000.

Gao Yue, on the other hand, prepared to use the infantry of the four generals of the original Wu Army and the Yining Army, the 3,000 cavalry of Ming Huaiyi and Mi Yuan, and the more than 2,000 cavalry soldiers of Guo Zaizhen and Supu, totaling 17,000 soldiers, and then supplemented some of the original Huainan town soldiers to organize and train as the "Wuyi Army", which is divided into three armies on the left, center and right, concentrated in Yangzhou, with 6,000 people per army, that is, Gao Yue's so-called new army, and then with the auxiliary military strength, this is the main group of the future expedition field war.

Then Gao Yue was ready to reduce the original 20,000 Yangzhou town soldiers to 8,000 "town garrison troops", which were 2,500 soldiers in Runan, Caizhou, 1,000 in Shouchun, 500 in Shuzhou and Hezhou, 2,000 in Shanyang, Chuzhou, and 1,500 in Gushi, Guangzhou.

Gao Yue is ready to abolish all of them and replace them with a local armor protection system, which does not cost much finance, and is not a specific army, but it can include all young and middle-aged people in Gao Yue's military service account books: as long as a total of 300,000 young and strong men in Huainan are controlled, Gao Yue can implement the system of "conscription-selection and retreat" for the Wu Yi Army and the Zhenshu Army in the near future, and as long as this system can be implemented, the emergence of "local separatist military groups" can be eradicated to a certain extent.

After Gao Yue explained clearly, Han Yu said that he had no objection.

And Pei Du also said calmly that Caizhou's Jingjie Patrol and Baojia were implemented, and he was willing to try and do his best to share the worries of the country.

Then Gao Yue directly called Liu Zongyuan's name.

He was appointed by Gao Yue as the "Zhiguangzhou Jingjie Sub-Inspectorate", which means that the affairs of Gwangju's meridian boundary and armor protection were cut off by Liu Zongyuan, and his power could not even be interfered with by Yang Yuanqing, the assassin of Gwangju.

This Gao Yue really broke through the routine in terms of employing people:

Gwangju's history of thorns and prefectural ordinances are only in charge of taxes; And all aspects of innovation are in charge of Liu Zongyuan, a young official who "flew down" from the imperial court's imperial history platform.

After the meeting, Gao Yue, a purple-clothed goldfish, led the white horse and said to Liu Zongyuan in the team: "Zihou, you accompany me for a walk." ”

The two rode horses and walked side by side, Gao Yue's little dog "Anointing Ring", wagging its red yellow tail, very happy to be able to accompany its master out to relax, away from the persecution of Frosting Biluo, and went back and forth around Gao Yue's horseshoe.

To Liu Zongyuan's surprise, although Gao Yue's strategy of "cash-for-work" seemed unkind, he only took Wu Shaoyang's remaining 80,000 stone of grain as a price, that is, he successfully drove more than 10,000 Cai people to do a lot of projects:

The walls and roads of Runan City were repaired;

Several bridges that had been broken by the war were also repaired;

The cofferdams of Hongchipi, Gepi, Chaitan, and Nanhu that were broken open were all repaired, and the doumen for adjustment were also added.

And of the more than 10,000 Cai people, no one died in the process, and they all lived well.

This is about what is commonly referred to as wrist?

Gao Yue told Liu at this moment:

He immediately prepared to recruit people who had lost land and no food as rights and interests soldiers in Caizhou and Gwangju, and prepared to recruit 30,000 people at one time, only to give rations and pickles, that is, to dig the chicken song post.

At this time, Liu Zongyuan couldn't help it, he had a lot of questions, or incomprehensible confusion, and wanted to ask this court minister who was sitting in Jianghuai in person.
