Ma Zheng, Zhao Zhongge and Murong Yu are now all in Tianjin.

Ma Zheng is still the chief military aircraft. Zhao Zhongge served as the director of military science, and Murong Yu was the secretary of the republican government, that is, the secretary of the military department - now the military and political and military order system of the Youzhou Army is also becoming more and more mature. At the top of this system is, of course, the republican government ruling Wu Haogu himself, according to the "Republic Covenant Law", the ruling is the commander-in-chief of the Youzhou army. Under the commander-in-chief, there is the chief military aircraft in charge of military orders, the director of military science in charge of military education, and the military adviser in charge of military affairs.

These three positions and their related government offices are actually mutually contained, but at the same time, they are also cooperating with each other.

The General Military Aircraft Department is responsible for formulating operational and training plans and transmitting military orders through military authorities at all levels.

The military office is responsible for recruiting soldiers, purchasing equipment, raising logistics materials, appointing and transferring officers, and other military administrative management.

The Director of Military Studies is in charge of military education, including the Military Elementary School, the Knight Academy, the Naval Academy, and the military courses in the non-military academies funded by the Republican government.

In addition to the separation of powers and mutual control at the top of the armed forces, there are also corresponding restraint mechanisms at all levels of the armed forces. The two most important mechanisms are the officer rotation system and the division general system.

The former is based on the standardization and institutionalization of military education and management, so that officers of the same service can rotate between different units and different posts. In order to avoid long-term tenure and cultivation of power - Wu Haogu himself used Zhao Ji's trust and carelessness to grasp the military power, and evolved into a feudal town, of course, he had to prevent his subordinates from doing the same!

And the latter is also to prevent secession. The so-called general system is the general name of the soldier and horse division and the general system. At present, the military regions that have been set up include the Tianjin Prefecture Terracotta Division, the Yanshan Prefecture Terracotta Division, the Lushun Prefecture Terracotta Division, the Andong Prefecture Terracotta Division, the Yanshan Eastern Terracotta Division, the Western Yanshan Terracotta Division, the Northern Yanshan Terracotta Division, and the Yanshan Eastern Terracotta Division.

The Division of Soldiers and Horses is responsible for the jurisdiction of the local militia, the knights and soldiers in the township, and the local defense and banditry. Of course, they don't necessarily have a direct connection with the knights and soldiers in the township. Only the knight households and government military households directly under the jurisdiction of the military office of the Republic are directly managed by the Soldiers and Horses Division. The knight households and government military households attached to the twelve metropolitan stewards were managed by the metropolitan stewards, and the Soldiers and Horses Division liaised with the metropolitan stewards to discuss matters such as local defense, militia, and the recruitment of the metropolitan army.

The general system refers to the field troops with "generals" as the unit. The current Youzhou Army has a total of two cavalry generals and five infantry generals. Although these seven generals were not satisfied with the staff in peacetime, there was a large shortage of unpaid knights, government soldiers and temporarily hired auxiliaries, and the shortage of officers was not much, which was enough to maintain the shelf of the troops, and it was also possible to supervise the knights and government soldiers who were arranged to serve in the army to carry out strict training.

Unless there is an order signed by the republican government, the General Military Aircraft and the Governor's Office, these seven generals are troops under the joint management of the General Military Machinery Department and the Military Office, and there is no mutual control relationship with the local Soldiers and Horses Division.

Through these measures, the Youzhou Army was basically in the hands of the republican ruling government. The feudal twelve capitals could not threaten the rule of the republican government. In fact, constrained by limited financial resources, the Twelve Governors have been streamlining their armies for more than a year. On average, if one family is in charge, it can maintain a few hundred knight households and two thousand military households.

They don't have the commercial tax of Tianjin and the protection fee paid by Ji Yi, if they distribute all the land to the knights and soldiers, what will their children enjoy it? Moreover, each prefecture has a military service obligation to the republican government, and needs to provide a certain number of knights and soldiers to join the seven generals and eight soldiers directly under the republican government. Therefore, the armament that can be used by everyone is only 2,000 people in the sky. It was simply impossible to resist a republican government with tens of thousands of standing troops.

Moreover, among the twelve capitals, there are still three "Yuancong" families, the Zhao family, the Murong family, and the Ximen family, who are not only feudal monarchs, but also big bourgeoisie, and their interests in Tianjin are far greater than those in their own fiefdoms. Of course, there is no possibility of betraying the republican government.

In addition, the interests of the Pingzhou Zhang family in Tianjin are also very large, and Zhang Jue, the second person of the Zhang family, is now in the republican government, like Zhao Zhongge, Murong Yu, and Ximen Anguo, and has been appointed as the head of the soldiers and horses in northern Yan and the governor of the Wujia family.

……

After receiving Wu Haogu's order, Zhao Zhongge, Murong Yu, and Ma Zheng quickly rushed to the republican government building.

"Yelu Yanxi is going to give birth to a Jurchen!"

After the three of them sat down, without waiting for the tea to be served, Wu Haogu began to discuss business with them.

Wu Haogu's group is a new and newborn, there is no red tape, everything pays attention to efficiency, and it is relatively equal internally, Zhao Zhongge, Murong Yu and Ma Zheng are now sitting and talking face to face with Wu Haogu.

"How?" Brother Zhao Zhongge was the first to ask.

"It should be a pro-conquest," Wu Haogu handed him the letter from Ah Lihe, "Assemble the army in the summer bowl, and send troops to press the tiger water after the autumn." ”

"If this is the case, the Liao Kingdom will be finished......" Brother Zhao Zhongge read the letter at a glance and ten lines, and handed it to Murong Yu to read.

"Is there a chance of winning?" Wu Haogu asked.

"Nope." Brother Zhao Zhongge's answer was categorical.

"Great King," Murong Yu also finished reading the letter, and handed it to Ma Zheng again, he said, "Yelu Yanxi's best policy is not to move. As long as it moves, it's all a good idea! ”

Ma Zheng read the letter and added: "Don't stop, you have to shrink." The tighter you shrink, the longer you live...... Anyway, with the support of the Great Song Dynasty, they don't need to occupy so much broken territory at all. ”

Wu Haogu can now understand their words, and agrees with them. No matter how many troops Yelu Yanxi sent to attack the Jurchens, the result was the same, that is, a big defeat and return.

Even if there was no decisive battle of life and death like Hubu Dagang, the Jurchens relied on a protracted war to drag Yelu Yanxi down.

Don't have an army of 700,000, that's impossible, just 200,000 troops stay outside the old forests in the northeast for a few months, and a group of Zigan Liao, Yelu Yanxi and the Great Liao Imperial Court will all go bankrupt.

How much does an army of 200,000 have to consume every day! Logistics had to be transported from Liaoyang Prefecture, and there was no waterway, so the people had to be mobilized to use large trucks for supplies. How many people, how many wagons! Wu Haogu himself is the master of the three armies, and he knows too well how big the pit in logistics is.

A big war like Hubu Dagang is actually a drain on the vitality of the Liao State. If you win, you will also be greatly injured, and the result will be similar if it drags on for a long time and collapses in a war.

The only way to survive is to carry out mobile defense, first shrink, abandon the areas with little economic value, shrink to the area of Linhuang Mansion and Liaohe in Shangjing, rely on the fortress and cavalry groups for active defense, and throw the logistical pressure to the Jurchens. In this way, the Jurchens can be slowly dragged down......

Of course, adopting such a tactic would put Yelu Yanxi under great internal pressure. The loss of Youzhou has already made Yelu Yanxi anxious, if he hadn't reluctantly captured half of Hedong, I am afraid that it would be a disaster now.

"He also has to fight!" Wu Haogu sighed lightly, and seemed to have some sympathy for Yelu Yanxi, the unlucky guy, "If you don't fight, you won't be even, and you'll fight...... Hehe, there is no doubt about defeat! Brother Zhong, Fifth Brother, Zhongfu, what should we do? To send troops or not to send troops? If so, where? ”

"Naturally, we have to send troops!" Zhao Zhongge said, "The territory still has to be brought down as soon as possible to rest assured...... If you want to send troops, it will be Liaodong and Liaoxi. You can first send troops from Lushun Mansion to take Fuzhou, Ningzhou, and Zhenhai Mansion, and if you still have the strength to spare, you can take Baozhou, Xuanzhou, and Dingzhou on the Yalu River together. ”

At this time, the western border between Liao and Goryeo was not the Yalu River, and the Liao State still had two territories in the south of the Yalu River, Baozhou and Xuanzhou. It is about the area of Uiju, Sinuiju and Yeongcheon in later Joseon. There are good plains along the river and coast, and the traffic is also very convenient.

"You have to take advantage of it," Wu Hao Gudao, "or you will have to let the Koreans take advantage." ”

"The king, his subordinates are also in favor of starting in Liaodong." Ma Zhengdao, "But we have to wait until Yelu Yanxi is defeated before we start, so that we can easily win the territory." ”

Fighting a war is always a trick, and if there is less bloodshed, there will be less bloodshed.

Wu Haogu turned his gaze to Murong Parrot again, and Murong Parrot frowned and said, "If you send troops from Liaodong, who will be the commander?" Huang Shilang has no talent.

And the cost of the army stationed in Lushun is not saved! Lushun and Tianjin are both relying on sea traffic, the wind direction is wrong, the weather is cold and frozen, and the traffic will be interrupted, making the information not smooth. Therefore, our army has to be stationed in Lushun in advance, and all kinds of materials must be transported in advance...... If one infantry and one cavalry were to be transferred, including auxiliaries, there would be 18,000 men and more than 20,000 horses. There are countless grains, grasses, and baggage. The amount of money required is also a huge amount! ”

It's going to cost money again...... 18,000 people stayed in Liaodong for a year, and the cost of personnel expenses and grain and grass alone was several million!

"Regarding the budget, the military affairs department and the General Military Machinery Department will discuss it and take it out as soon as possible." Wu Haogu said, "When the Senate approves it, there is a way to raise it." If it really doesn't work, they will issue bonds...... With the Bank of Tianjin, it can always be raised. The problem now is the general of the unified army, Huang Shilang will definitely not be able to do it, and he can only bother the three of you to be a. Zhongfu, why don't you take a trip, and when you are successful, I will also give you a capital state. ”

"The king, your subordinates can go to Liaodong," Ma Zheng said with a smile, "but don't manage the state...... I have a small family, just a few brothers, three sons, and I can't take care of that little grange, how can I manage a state? When I come back from the battle, the king will give me a big mansion in Tianjin. ”

"Okay! Deal! ”
