vs 68 Faith 13
Wu Yi's Jiaozhi is only a city, at most a county, not the entire Jiaozhou.
A Jiaozhi city, separated from Shuzhong by mountains and rivers, the road is far away and difficult to walk, and it is not of much use at all.
If the Western Regions is a flat river for Liangzhou, then Jiaozhi is for Nanzhong and Shuzhong, that is, it is either mountains or water, water or forests.
At this time, it is a chicken rib.
If you want it, it will take a lot of effort to manage it, and if you throw it away, you will feel a little pity.
It's not that the cochin is bad, but the cochin is now very chicken in Liu Zhang's hands.
"Wu Yi went to Jiaozhi, this should be his temporary idea. After Wu Yi comes back, it's not too late for us to ask him in detail. As for Jiaozhi, it is indeed not easy for us to do, either we use Jiaozhi as a stronghold, attack Baiyue, and all of Jiaozhou, or give up. It is difficult for our current military strength in Shuzhong to support a large-scale military operation in Jiaozhou. If we want to hunt down Zhao Wei now, we are bound to have a bad relationship with Jingzhou, and with the current strength in Shuzhong, it is already stretched, let alone go through what Jiaozhou. ”
What Xu Shu said was the actual situation.
Shuzhong now nominally has three armies, Li Yan's New Fifth Army in Hanzhong, Yan Yan's New Second Army in Bajun, and the New Third Army in Chengdu, however, in fact, only Yan Yan's New Second Army may be able to be used.
Hanzhong was a military location, and the New Fifth Army was mainly defensive, with the focus on monitoring Chang'an. Hanzhong, as a key node connecting Shuzhong and Xiliang, and a large number of military industrial units, must not be lost, so it is impossible for the New Fifth Army to be mobilized on a large scale.
As for the New Third Army in Chengdu, the vitality of this rebellion was greatly damaged, and the losses of its own personnel, plus the mutiny, plus the ones that were to be transferred to the Wei Wei Bureau, have already exceeded 30 percent, and it is good to be optimistic about their own portal. Chengdu is also an important place, and a Chengdu school alone needs at least one school's new army to be stationed on a daily basis. Therefore, the New Third Army will not be able to draw much strength.
There is only Yan Yan's new Second Army left. However, if the New Second Army has to face the pressure from Jingzhou, it will definitely not be able to draw up excess strength to come and go through Jiaozhou.
"It seems that we still have too few troops."
……
The two of them talked secretly late at night, and talked a lot.
After Liu Zhang and Xu Shu had a secret conversation, the next day, Liu Zhang appeared in the temporary state office, but Xu Shu did not appear.
After Liu Zhang arrived at the state office, the first thing he announced: Xu Shu has to rest for a few days due to physical reasons, and during this time, things and official affairs that need Xu Shu to make decisions can come directly to him Liu Zhang.
As soon as this news came out, everyone immediately felt that the rumors rumored outside were confirmed, and whether the contradiction between Liu Zhang and Xu Shu was superficial. I think that the rumored two people had a big quarrel, which is probably true.
Just when everyone thought that Xu Shu was about to finish and was about to fall, at this time, Liu Zhang issued another statement: All of Xu Shu's actions in Shuzhong were officially approved by Liu Zhang, and all actions were reasonable and legal, and there was nothing out of bounds.
As soon as this news came out, everyone was confused and confused again, and they couldn't figure out what was going on with these two people.
Liu Zhang's reason for issuing this statement is to bind with Xu Shu and share responsibilities and risks.
Liu Zhang did not give everyone more time to decipher the mystery in between, and Liu Zhang immediately issued a series of government and military orders.
The third is a decree: announcing the end of the rebellion in Chengdu from now on.
As soon as this article came out, everyone began to suspect that Xu Shu's status was not guaranteed.
Article 4 is a military order: It is announced that from now on, all units of the new army will automatically be demobilized from military service if they are over 30 years old, and all departments must do a good job in the resettlement of soldiers after they retire, with emphasis on the direction of the Guards Administration. In addition, the term of service of the new non-commissioned officers has been changed from 10 years to 8 years, and they will be automatically discharged after eight years. Fifteen years for junior officers, and professional soldiers for middle and senior officers.
The meaning of this article is obviously to use veterans to enrich and lead the local guard offices.
Moreover, it is necessary to ensure the rejuvenation of the army.
Article 5 is also a military order: It is proposed to expand the various units of the former New Army into a corps system on the basis of the original one. Specifically:
The New First Army was expanded into the First Army Corps, with jurisdiction over the New First Army, the New Eleventh Army, and the New Twenty-first Army, and each army was equipped with a temporary cavalry brigade;
The New Second Army was expanded into the Second Army Corps, which governed the New Second Army, the New Twelfth Army, and the New Twenty-second Army;
The New Third Army was expanded into the Third Army Corps, which governed the New Third Army, the New Thirteenth Army, and the New Twenty-third Army;
The Fourth Army of the New Army was expanded into the Fourth Army Corps, which had jurisdiction over the Fourth Army, the Fourteenth Army, and the Twenty-fourth Army of the New Army, and each army was equipped with a temporary cavalry brigade;
The New Fifth Army was expanded into the Fifth Army Corps, which had jurisdiction over the New Fifth Army, the New 15th Army, and the New 25th Army.
In addition, each army will be equipped with three Wudang flying armies, which will be organized by the legions, and in principle, one army will be equipped with one flying army.
The rest of the Wudang Flying Army was directly commanded by Gan Ning and directly responsible to Liu Zhang.
All ministries are required to report the quota according to their own needs, and no overstaffing is allowed.
This news is very powerful, this is a large-scale expansion of the army, and it will be expanded to three times the original size at once.
As soon as this news came out, everyone found that it was better to invite Xu Shu back, this Liu Zhang was just messing around, how could there be such a thing, if you say that the army will be expanded, it will be expanded to three times the original number at once, you are crazy.
In fact, more than three times.
Because you have to retire all those over the age of 30 in front of you, so that it is far more than three times.
However, there is more to come.
Article 6 is government news: the news about the upcoming public offering of shares of the bank.
Since nine of the 13 banks were involved in the Chengdu rebellion and the subsequent illegal activities that disrupted the stability of the money and grain stamp market, the government took back the shares of these nine banks in accordance with the law and will sell them to the public at a later date. Please wait for the announcement of the specific release.
Thirteen joint banks, among which the Cai family plus Liu Zhang, which is the representative of the official government, and the remaining twelve are all big families in Shu. This time, Xu Shu copied nine families at once, and the remaining ones, such as the Wu family and the Zhang family, were also trembling, waiting for fate to be announced. It was at this point that Liu Zhang announced the end of the rebellion and announced that he would publicly sell the confiscated shares.
This is a piece of heavy news, as soon as this news comes out, whether Xu Shu will fall in front of him, whether he wants to expand the army on a large scale, etc., etc., everyone doesn't care.
Article 7 is also news: the presiding judge Liu Zhang was notified about the case of Zhang Song's suspected Chengdu rebellion that will be tried at a later date.
Article 8 is a chase and kill order: an order to instruct the army and intelligence to cooperate closely, vow to chase and kill Zhao Wei to the end, and bring him to justice, let you run to the ends of the earth, God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha.
As soon as these two came out, everyone's nerves, which had just been relaxed, tensed again.
The rebellion seems to be over, but in fact it is far from over.
