Inside the Gubei Mouth.

The six brothers of the Yang family gathered together.

Yan Tianzi, Du Jin'e, Huyan barefoot, Dong Yue'e, Geng Jinhua and others are also there.

The group sat together, discussing the future defense of the sixteen states of Yanyun, as well as the future direction of the southern country.

Leading this gathering was Yang Da.

Yang Qi didn't take everything on his shoulder.

Yang Da sat on the left side of Yang Qi's side, and everyone formed a circle.

Yang Da asked Peng Pai to pounce on a wide map on the table.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now Yanyun has decided, but this does not mean that we can sit back and relax from now on. Song and Liao fought a big battle in the sixteen states of Yanyun this time, and with our intervention, the two countries will inevitably break their muscles and bones this time.

But with the fierceness of the Liao people and the wealth of the Song people, it is inevitable that he will fight again in the future.

In addition, the seventh brother had already reached an alliance with Song and Liao, and there were frequent business contacts after the war.

Therefore, in order to protect the sixteen states of Yanyun and the stability of the people and merchants under our rule.

We have to be defensive, and ready to be ready to send troops at any time. ”

Yang Da paused, and when he saw that everyone nodded in response, he pointed to the map and continued: "Between us and the Liao State, there is the Great Wall as a barrier, so it is relatively easy to deploy. ”

Yang Daqu pointed to the dots on the map, "Shanhaiguan, Juyong Pass, Gubeikou, Fuxing Pass, these four places are places that must be defended." It is also the top priority, so these four places must be heavily guarded.

After preliminary negotiations between me and my seventh brother, Shanhaiguan was guarded by the newly compiled mountain navy, with Jiao Zan as the chief general and Meng Liang as the deputy admiral.

Juyong Pass was guarded by the newly formed Juyong Army, with Du Qing as the main general and Chong Heng as the deputy general.

From now on, the Yanmen Army will be renamed the Gubei Army, with He Jing as the chief general and Yang Shun as the deputy general.

From now on, the Fuxing Army will be reduced from 50,000 to 30,000, in addition to guarding Fuxing Pass, but also to protect Zhongyi Mountain, temporarily by me as the main general, by Di Cheng as the deputy general.

Do you have any comments on the above arrangements? ”

From Yang Da's arrangement, it is not difficult to see that Yang Qi and Yang Da seem to be deliberately weakening the importance of the Yang family in the army.

Of course, this is not to weaken the armies, but to train new people.

Just take advantage of the stage when both Song and Liao are disabled and need to recuperate, and hone the newcomers.

When the copper platform is a fighter.

Yang Qi saw his shortcomings.

The Yang brothers have always occupied a pivotal position in the army, and whenever there is a war, the Yang brothers will inevitably fight.

Although this can make Yang Qi feel at ease to send soldiers and horses, but in the long run, it will be difficult for newcomers to come out, and all armies will be headed by the Yang family.

Over time, the bloodline will override the strength.

This is not a good sign.

The brothers of the Yang family, none of them dare to guarantee that their descendants will not appear to be brave and good at fighting.

Therefore, in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, it is necessary to give newcomers a certain chance to stand out.

The crowd gathered firewood and the flame was high.

Only in this way can the Yang family remain enduring in the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Yang Da asked everyone's opinions, except for He Jing, who opened his mouth, the others didn't have any opinions.

From adjutant generals, partial generals, or even generals who are not even generals, to the position of chief general or deputy general all of a sudden, what opinions can they have?

He Jing seemed to have something to say, but in the end he didn't say it.

Although Yang Da saw this, he didn't point it out.

After confirming the guards of the four passes on the Great Wall, Yang Da said again: "Then it's decided, let's talk about the defense of the sixteen states of Yanyun and the Great Song Dynasty."

Compared to the line of the Great Wall, this line is a bit more complicated.

Due to the long defensive line, it is not suitable for long-term garrison defense.

So I set up three points for this line of defense.

One of them is on the coast, which is the junction of the Great Song Dynasty, the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the sea.

It was important to defend not only the place, but also to defend against the future creation of a port that would be set up in the future.

Therefore, after discussion with my seventh brother, it was decided to set up a Jing Navy here, with 60,000 permanent troops in the army, of which 30,000 were infantry and 30,000 were naval troops.

After discussion, Yang Yanzhao was the chief general of the Jing Navy, Yue Sheng was the infantry general, and Meng Jinbang was the general of the naval army for the time being.

Second, in the Flying Fox Mouth, the original Jin Army, renamed the Flying Fox Army, set up 30,000 permanent soldiers, with Du Jin'e as the main general, and the deputy general is temporarily absent.

Third, the Yanmen Pass, Yanmen Pass and Datong Mansion are divided into one place, which is garrisoned by the Datong Army, with Wang Gui as the main general, and the deputy general is temporarily absent.

In addition to these three places, there are 30,000 light cavalry, who travel between the Datong Army garrison and the Jing Navy garrison, and are responsible for patrolling the border.

These 30,000 light cavalry are temporarily under the command of the Flying Fox Army.

Do you have any comments? ”

The crowd shook their heads.

Yang Da nodded and continued: "Then it's decided, the following is the garrison of the northwest border. In the northwest borderland, there are two places to defend, one is the Xixia Mansion and the other is the Dongsheng Mansion.

The Iron Cavalry Army, which was originally stationed in Dongsheng Mansion, was transferred to the border of Xixia Mansion, and Yang Yande was still the main general.

The rangers originally stationed in Xixia Mansion were transferred to Dongsheng Mansion to defend the narrow border line from Dongsheng Mansion to Fuxing Pass, and the main general was still served by Yan Qianzi.

Do you have any comments? ”

Yang Wu and Yan Tianzi shook their heads at the same time.

Yang Da nodded and said, "Very good, the above is the arrangement for the defense of the four prefectures in the northwest and the sixteen states of Yanyun." ”

The defense was arranged.

Yang Da looked at Yang Er, Yang Er slowly got up, and said, "Next, I will talk about the deployment of soldiers and horses in the south. There are three points to be defended in the south, the first is the Python Mountain close to the Great Song Dynasty, the second is the narrow defense line close to the 100,000 mountains in the north, and the third is the westernmost garrison fortress.

Python Mountain is still guarded by the Cangshan Army, with Yang Yanguang as the chief general and Dong Yue'e as the deputy general.

The 100,000 mountain defense line was guarded by light cavalry, with Geng Jinhua as the main general and a deputy general for the time being.

The western fortress is guarded by the Longyou Army and the Tiger Ben Army, and I am the main general for the time being, and the deputy general is temporarily absent. ”

Yang Er finished arranging, and he didn't ask anyone who was in favor of these at all.

The people he arranged were all old people who had been with him for a long time in the southern country, and they knew Yang Er, and they were all his own people, so there was no need to explain anything.

Yang Er arranged everything.

Yang Qicai stood up, he glanced at the crowd, and said, "The defense of the Southern Kingdom, the Northwest Four Prefectures, and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun has been arranged. Now I will talk about military service and the survival of soldiers and horses in various places. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Is this to be disarmed?

Yang Qi ignored everyone's reactions, and he said calmly: "The Southern Kingdom, the Northwest Four Prefectures, and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun will jointly implement the same military service system. Five-year rotation system. ”

Everyone understands the implementation of this military service system.

Under this military service system, it is impossible for the old, weak, sick and disabled to remain in the army for a long time, and the combat effectiveness of the army will not be weakened because of this.

In addition, after enlisting in the army, the officers and men in the army have the hope of discharging their armor and returning to the field, and those who do not want to be soldiers do not have to be soldiers for the rest of their lives, and they will not be resentful, let alone take the risk of becoming deserters.

The main thing is that under this system of military service.

It can greatly avoid the possibility of some autocratic generals and leading the army to rebel.

There is nothing to talk about the military service system.

Except for some people who had just voted for Yang Qi, most of them had already managed this kind of military service system, and as long as Yang Qi mentioned it, they had something to think about in their hearts.

Therefore, Yang Qi began to directly talk about the key points, "In addition to the soldiers and horses that my eldest brother and second brother talked about just now, Nanguo will set up two more armies, one is a naval army, called the Southern Navy, in addition to being responsible for fighting enemies at sea, it also needs to act as a bridge between Nanguo and the sixteen states of Yanyun.

There are questions about the chief admiral and deputy admiral of the South China Navy, and I will discuss it later.

One is the southern army, with a permanent service of 100,000 people, commanded by Yang Yanding, except for 10,000 soldiers and horses to defend the imperial city. The remaining 90,000 soldiers and horses were filled with elite soldiers and fierce generals, who were responsible for foreign wars and coordinated with the garrisons of other departments for defense.

In addition, each province in the south set up a permanent 1,000 people, which was under the control of the military cabinet of the southern country, and was responsible for defending the city wall and clearing the surrounding bandits, which were dispatched by the yamen of each province.

The four prefectures in the northwest and the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, each province also has a permanent service of 1,000 people, who belong to the chief of the military cabinet, and the daily duties are the same as those of the southern provinces.

In addition, three armies were set up, the Earthquake Army, the Shenji Army, the Yan Army, and the three armies.

The Earthquake Army has a permanent service of 30,000 people, the Shenji Army has a permanent service of 50,000, and the Yan Army has a permanent service of 100,000.

Yan Jun accused Yu Nanguo Jun of being equal. ”

Yang Qi deliberately ignored the duties of the Heaven Shaking Army and the Divine Machine Army and didn't say anything.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Qi dropped a bombshell, "In addition, the rest of the armies have all been dismantled." ”

Wow!

All of a sudden, the council hall in Gubeikou was in chaos.

The generals of the armies who were about to be dismissed were in a mess.

The most of them were those generals that Yang Qi had recovered from the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, as well as some generals from the Southern Kingdom.

"Lord, is the Dragon Wanderer Army also going to be abolished? I, a soldier of the Longyou Army, fought on the battlefield for the lord of the country, and I have no regrets in my death, you can't ...... us like this"

“……”

"Huhou, although we are generals, we can talk about ability, and we are not weaker than anyone. Why did Huhou suddenly want to dismiss us and other ......?"

“……”

If you are bold, you will start asking Yang Qi directly.

Yang Qi frowned and said coldly, "Silence! Although the other armies will be dismantled, the soldiers and horses of the new armies will still be drawn from you. Including the generals of the newly created armies, you will also be appointed.

There are those who have made meritorious contributions to me, and there are those who have not.

But as long as you sincerely follow me Yang Yanhei, I will not treat you badly.

The main reason for the reduction of the armies is to facilitate management, and at the same time, it is also to prevent many people from mixing in and indiscriminately filling up the numbers.

Moreover, I will also resettle the soldiers who have been laid off.

For example, the permanent servants and officials of the prefectures are in great demand, enough to accommodate the soldiers under your command who have been dismissed. ”

Hearing Yang Qi's arrangement, the voices of those who were arguing were much quieter.

Yang Qi paused and continued: "The reason why I have reduced so many soldiers and horses is that one is to streamline the administration of the army, and more importantly, after a series of battles, whether it is the four prefectures of the south and northwest, or the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, the population is pitiful.

The sixteen states of Yanyun can be said to be in ruins.

The purpose of reducing so many soldiers and horses is to enrich the population.

Once we have laid ground, we need to occupy it, and we need to make use of it.

At the same time, it is necessary to prosper what it creates, not to waste it.

What is the purpose of these places that we have worked so hard for?

In order to let everyone live a good life.

In order to let the parents, wives and children at home live a good life. ”

Yang Qihu's eyes swept around, and he said coldly: "It's not that I, Yang Yansi, can't afford to raise so many soldiers and horses for you. No matter how many soldiers and horses I have, Yang Yansi can afford to raise them. But militarism is not what I want.

I can support you, but I can't feed your parents, wives and children in your house.

Do you want to see that I feed you, but I let your parents, wives and children starve? ”

The generals who had been complaining a lot just now suddenly stopped talking.

Yang Qi saw that everyone was persuaded by him, and he didn't talk nonsense, "From tomorrow, the soldiers and horses of the southern country will start to return." After returning, Yang Yanding presided over the selection of soldiers and horses, as well as the places where each army would be stationed.

Yang Yanping is responsible for arranging the defense of the four northwestern prefectures and the sixteen states of Yanyun, and has already selected soldiers and horses.

A month later, the soldiers and horses of the four northwestern prefectures and the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun must be selected, and all the soldiers and horses responsible for garrisoning must rush to the station.

All the dismissed soldiers were to be placed in the nearest state capitals according to their wishes, and served as permanent and official servants of the prefectures, and they were to temporarily pacify the people of all places until the new officials arrived.

Did you hear it all? ”

Yang Qi asked.

"Hear me clearly......"

Sluggish response.

"Bang!"

Yang Qi slapped the table suddenly, and the big table in front of him where everyone was sitting trembled for three points, and almost fell apart.

Everyone's hearts trembled, and they looked at Yang Qi with a stunned expression.

Yang Qi stared at everyone coldly, and said in a deep voice: "I, Yang Yansi, the lord of the four northwestern prefectures, the lord of the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the lord of the southern country. Now, tell me, did you hear me clearly? ”

Everyone's expressions were overwhelming.

understood the meaning of Yang Qi's words.

Although Yang Qi is now, he has neither a royal name nor an imperial name.

But as long as he wants, he can call him king and emperor at any time.

In other words.

From now on, Yang Qi's identity has been very different.

He is the king, and you are all ministers.

A great chasm crossed between them.

They must remember that there is a difference between a monarch and a minister.

The king is humble and humble.

Under Yang Qihu's gaze, everyone stood up and saluted Yang Qi in unison, including Yang Qi's brother.

"Obey the order of the Tiger Marquis (the lord of the country)."

Yang Qi nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand, "Let's go down and do things." Yang Yanping left ......"

Everyone walked out of the council hall, and only Yang Qi and Yang Da Brother were left in the council hall.

"Hey......"

In front of his eldest brother, Yang Qi no longer had the domineering attitude just now, but sighed helplessly.

Yang Da laughed and said, "Seventh brother, you are becoming more and more prestigious. ”

Yang Qi smiled bitterly: "I don't want to be ...... like this"

Yang Da put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "Brother understands you. You always think about everyone and the harmony, and you work hard in one place, and your heart thinks in one place. He even wants everyone to get along with each other on an equal footing, regardless of their dignity or inferiority.

However, the Religion of Respect and Inferiority has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is not something you can easily change.

With your current status, the more you talk to people, the more people will feel that the softer you are, the easier you are to bully.

You are no longer the young man in Bianjing City in the past.

Now you are the co-lord of the three places, in charge of the life and death of tens of millions of people.

If you are soft-hearted for a while, many people will have to pay the price.

Originally, I wanted to remind you of this again, but I didn't expect you to react first. ”

Yang Qi frowned tightly and said in a deep voice: "This feeling is very bad, what I want is not these ......"
