Chapter 686: Reorganization of Guan Ning
At the end of November, on the field of the university outside Xi'an, thousands of horses were galloping, and a huge drill was being carried out.
In the battle of Sichuan, the Guanning army surrendered, Gao Yihuan selected more than 30,000 people, and obtained more than 10,000 infantry troops and nearly 20,000 horse troops.
In order to divide and conquer, Gao Yihuan left more than 10,000 people in Sichuan and reorganized them on the spot, leaving more than 20,000 people back to Guanzhong, and stationed in Fengxiang, Guyuan, Pingliang and other places, and only brought more than 5,000 troops to Xi'an.
After Gao Yihuan returned to Xi'an, he put Wu Sangui, Hu Guozhu, Wu Guogui, Wu Sanfu, Wu Sanfeng and other high-ranking officials of the Guanning Army under house arrest in the city, ordered Xuanyi Wei to strictly monitor them, and then began to use some middle and lower-level generals of the Guanning Army to command the cavalry of the Wei army.
This is also something that cannot be helped, more than five years have passed, and the real horse army of the Wei army is only four or five thousand people, lacking cavalry, and there is also a lack of cavalry generals.
Promote the middle and lower-level generals of the Guanning Army and give them benefits, they will naturally not let the original Guanning generals ride on their heads again, and they will not give up their positions.
Of course, this is just Gao Yihuan's helpless move, just an expedient measure.
More than 20,000 Guanning iron cavalry, Gao Yihuan prepared to let the Tiger Horse Army and the Dragoon Army be selected, and the soldiers were selected from them, and the establishment of each army was expanded to three battalions, totaling more than 10,000 people.
The remaining Guanning Army was reorganized into the Anxi Army, and the establishment was also controlled at about 10,000 people.
At this point, the Guan Ning army was dismembered and became history.
If the Western Wei State thoroughly digests these tens of thousands of Guanning troops, the Wei army's lack of cavalry will undoubtedly be made up to a certain extent and greatly enhance the strength of the Wei army.
At this time, the three battalions of the Anxi Army were reorganized in the Pingliang area, and the men and horses who conducted drills on the school field were the selected tiger and horse army of the Wei army.
On the school field, thousands of horses galloped, and the Guanning army practiced various formations to show their strength to Gao Yihuan.
After a morning of drills, more than 10,000 Tiger and Horse soldiers were stationed on the school grounds, waiting for Gao Yihuan's lecture.
On the school review platform, surrounded by banners hunting, mixed guards wearing iron armor, standing with spears in hand, majestic, Gao Yihuan wearing gold lacquer armor, stepping on leather boots, holding the sword at his waist, standing in front of the army with a full style.
Xu Heihu was dressed in black iron armor with a sonorous sword, standing at the front, and behind him stood several generals of the Wei army and several generals of the Guanning army.
Gao Yihuan glanced at the audience, cleared his throat and said, "The Tiger Camp is one of the four elites of Great Wei. Today, the lone king decided to upgrade the selected tiger battalion to an army, directly under the jurisdiction of three battalions of soldiers, the original selected tiger battalion was led by Xu Dudu, and it was still a type A battalion, and the other two battalions were temporarily set as a type C battalion. ”
Due to the expansion of territory and men, the Wei army originally had a battalion as the largest establishment, which was somewhat insufficient.
In order to adapt to the current situation, the Wei army urgently needed a larger establishment to organize and mobilize the army.
The army and the town became the two new establishments in the Wei army, the military jurisdiction of three battalions, which belonged to the permanent establishment, and the town jurisdiction of the three armies, which was a non-permanent establishment, which was temporarily formed by the feudal government according to the specific needs of the governor of the five armies, and was disbanded after the war.
At present, there is no hierarchy between army and town, and a corps can have battalions of different levels to complete the same task.
Everyone in the audience stared at Gao Yihuan with eager eyes, especially the general Guan Ning, who wanted to be promoted and make a fortune, and wanted to know if Gao Yihuan would really appoint them.
At this time, Gao Yihuan continued: "The remaining two battalions, mainly Guan Ning's surrendered army, you used to follow General Wu, and now you follow King Gu and become the Tiger Horse Army of Great Wei. The lonely king doesn't like to play false, and when he was in Sichuan, he promised that whatever you said, he would do it today. Wang Pingfan, you come forward and serve as the captain of the Dizi Battalion of the Tiger and Horse Army! ”
Wang Pingfan is a general in the Guanning army, when he heard Gao Yihuan's words, his face suddenly leaked with joy, stepped forward, knelt down on one knee and took the tray that Gao Yihuan was carrying, on which were placed, the seal letter and the file, and a folded camp flag.
"Minister, never give up, serve the king!" Wang Pingfan said excitedly.
Gao Yihuan helped him up, encouraged him a few words, and then said: "Ma Bao, you also come forward and serve as the captain of the Yellow Battalion of the Tiger and Horse Army!" ”
Ma Bao is Gao Yihuan's person, he was originally the general of the Shun Army's Zhongquan Battalion, after Gao Yihuan recovered the Shun Department, he was added to the Xuanhu Battalion as a deputy lieutenant.
Now Gao Yihuan asked him to unify the battalion, so that Xu Heihu actually controlled two battalions of soldiers, while the general Guanning only mastered one battalion, which was convenient for controlling Guanning's surrender.
Ma Bao stepped forward, also knelt on one knee, took the camp flag and the seal, and said loudly: "Thank you for the cultivation of the king." ”
After all, the Guanning army is a surrendered army, and the Wei army must strive to master the army, so such a distribution is also reasonable.
After Gao Yihuan finished speaking, he waved his hand, and several mule carts rushed over, the mules were very hard, and the rut marks were extremely deep, leaving one or two deep grooves in the snow.
When the soldiers saw this scene, they immediately became a little excited, and the old soldiers who knew Gao Yihuan knew that their king had a good habit and liked to smash people with silver.
Sure enough, several guards jumped into the cart, raised their axes and cut off the iron locks, and countless silver coins and ingots were dumped out, and quickly piled up on the ground, forming small mountains of silver.
The soldiers listened to the crisp sound of silver coins and ingots clashing, and everyone's eyes were glazed with silver light.
Gao Yihuan continued: "In the Great Wei Army of the Lonely King, how many military exploits and how much silver money are taken. Now that you have taken refuge here, the military department will allocate military land to you according to the treatment of C type of silver, and pay you a monthly salary. Each soldier didn't get much, and the C-Horse Army was eighteen taels a year. This bit of silver is enough for your family to live on, but if you want to get more, you have to exchange your military exploits for becoming a battalion of class B or even a battalion of class A. ”
Gao Yihuan pointed to the silver coins piled up on the ground, "The lonely king has silver and land, waiting for you to take it." ”
Guan Ningjun pit a lot of money in the Ming Dynasty, but most of the silver went into Wu Sangui, and it also went into the pockets of Guan Ning Jiangmen, and ordinary soldiers were basically the same everywhere, and they were all the objects of oppression.
Originally, many people still had doubts about defecting to Wei Jun, but now the doubts, anxiety, and worries in their hearts were swept away in an instant, and they looked at Yinshan with a smile, thinking about starting over.
Gao Yihuan nodded with satisfaction, and asked the officials from the military department to pay the soldiers, and he took Xu Heihu aside and ordered: "Heihu, the Lone King has a task to give you, you prepare it, and set off in three days." ”
"If the king has any military orders, just give orders, and the ministers will complete them!" Xu Heihu is colorful.
Gao Yihuan said in a deep voice: "Lone is ready to let the Tiger Horse Army raid the Hetao, deal a fatal blow to the Mongols there, and show their strength to Mobei Mongolia!" ”
