Fortunately, Yang Fangsui had already been sent back to Chang'an, and Gao Kan and Li Jinxing, who were sent to quell the rebellion last year, also left Anton with their troops at the end of last year and returned to the station, and Li Yu was able to cover the sky with one hand in Anton.

Except for some prefectures and counties of the four prefectures of Jian'an, Liaodong, Xincheng, and Northern Buyeo, which were still under the rule of the Goguryeo who contributed to the Tang Dynasty and did not participate in the rebellion, all other places in Andong, from the capital to the civil and military generals of the prefectures and counties, were all appointed by Li Yu.

Even if the four prefectures and counties that were not directly controlled by Li Yu, their positions as governors, prefectures, county magistrates, and Sima were also replaced by Li Yu with people he believed in. Gao Xuan, the governor of Jian'an Prefecture, Sun Huayin, the assassin of Yanzhou, and others, their rights were quickly taken by the Chinese officials sent by Li Yu, and they couldn't afford to make trouble.

At present, half of the state and county officials in Anton are from the former subordinate officials of the Yanwang Mansion and Li Yu were transferred from major commercial houses to be appointed as the treasurers of the officials; The remaining half are either from the Hongmeng Society, which Li Yu personally set up to attract talented people and powerful people, or the diners he had recruited before and the literati who had previously recruited through the official selection test.

In this way, Li Yu can control the Andong Protectorate like an arm, and now he dares to implement the military reserve plan and expand the troops.

Even if the imperial court asked, Li Yu could also find an excuse to prevaricate about the increased number of soldiers, after all, most of the increased soldiers were in their hometowns, and they were busy with farming, and they were only trained in counties as units.

This newly added 54,000 soldiers and horses, Li Yu named it the Unity Soldier.

The unity army appeared in Xichuan during the Tang Gaozong period, and the Xichuan area was disturbed by the Tubo, and the local wealthy tribes spontaneously formed a private army to resist, which was called the unity army.

The imperial court was not at ease with the local tyrants in charge of the army, and under the intervention, the command of the united soldiers was attributed to the state assassin history.

Regarding today's Tang Dynasty, only the prefectures and counties near the border in Xichuan have formed unity troops, which is not as common as after the Anshi Rebellion.

The nature of the solidarity army itself is that of a local militia that is busy with agriculture and trained by farmers. Although similar to the government soldiers, the unity soldiers have no military status and are not hereditary. When a war broke out in the local area and the imperial court was insufficient, it was summoned by the local assassin to defend the place.

Li Yu's unity soldiers have more military status, but military status is not hereditary. Even if the imperial court paid attention to it, with Anton's frequent wars, it would be doubtful to follow the example of Xichuan to form a united army.

Of course, Li Yu didn't think that he had personally raised an army of 120,000, and that Anton's civil and military generals were all appointed and recruited by himself, so he dared to have the heart of rebelling.

If Li Yu has two hearts, the eldest father will make a will, and the subordinates who are personally appointed and promoted will be able to tie themselves up and send them to Chang'an.

This is not a question of whether the strength is strong or not, but a question of what the people in the world want.

(There is nothing wrong with saying that whoever wins hearts wins the world, but it only applies to the same race, not to the other!) For example, the rebellion of the two emperors and four kings that broke out during the Tang Dezong period, the Tang Dynasty was destroyed on the one hand, which was far more critical than the Anshi Rebellion, but in the end the rebellion was put down, which is the influence of the hearts of the people in the world still in the Tang Dynasty. ）

Only when there are great changes in the DPRK and China, and those in power are rarely convinced by the military and people of the world, will the civilian and military generals under Li Yu really follow Li Yu all the way to the black.

"Hahaha, congratulations to Cheng Eryang and Li Sanyang...... Gao Shengyun will ......"

After the meeting, Cheng Boxian, Li Yexu and other friends patted Cheng Wuzhong, Li Jingzhen, Tang Jianzhen, and Yang Shihong on the shoulders and congratulated them on the fact that General Gao Shengxuan was about to lead the newly formed First Army. At the same time, congratulations to Duan Huaijian, Xue Chuyu and others for being promoted to the rank of captain.

Cheng Boxian and others were promoted to a high position, smiling happily, and bowed their hands in return, asking Cheng Boxian, Li Yexu and other friends to stay in Chunxiang Building tonight without getting drunk and returning.

Li Yu returned to the backyard of the palace, and the backyard was where the ladies of the Yan Wangfu were located, including the left and right Xiuyi guards.

Li Yu, who had been tired for most of the day, went back to lie on the rocking chair in the study and closed his eyes to recuperate, a pair of beautiful twin girls, one daughter gently rocked the rocking chair, and the other woman pinched Li Yu's shoulders.

Xin'er came in, and her eyes motioned to the little lady who pinched Li Yu's shoulder, the little lady stood aside obediently, and Xin'er gently pinched Li Yu's shoulder.

The corners of Li Yu's mouth turned up slightly, although there are many maids in the palace, whoever pinched him could feel it through the other party's technique.

Xin'er said softly: "Jun Xun, is it too hasty to appoint Cheng Wuzhong, Li Jingzhen and other newcomers who have come to Andong not long ago as the generals and captains of the newly formed army?" After all, they have never led troops into battle. ”

Xin'er is quick to think, as the first talented woman in the backyard of the palace, she not only serves Li Yu in life, but also is Li Yu's assistant in government affairs, and often gives advice to Li Yu.

Today's Li Yu's decision made Xin'er a little puzzled, among the four newly appointed generals, the oldest Cheng Wuzhong was only eighteen years old, and Xue Chuyu, the youngest of the several lieutenants, was only sixteen years old.

Li Yu's army establishment was the same as that of the Tang Army below the battalion level, but the establishment above the battalion level was very different from that of the Tang Army.

For example, Li Yu's guards and armies were all based on 3,000 people as a guard and army, and there was a general to lead them.

Each guard and army has three battalions (each battalion has a captain, each battalion has 800 people, four regiments, and three battalions have a total of 2,400 soldiers); 2nd Regiment (each regiment has a captain, 200 people per regiment, and has jurisdiction over 2 brigades, which is a heavy soldier); The second brigade (each brigade has a brigade commander, each brigade has 100 people, and has jurisdiction over two teams, and the main general is the personal soldier).

In addition to the basic establishment of the Tang Army, the establishment of the battalion and above was a large corps of wartime operations, with 10,000 soldiers on horseback, divided into seven combat units, and after the war ended, this kind of large establishment did not exist.

When Li Yu first formed the army, he found that the wartime establishment of the Tang Army was not suitable for him. In addition, a medium-sized permanent army was added to the temporary large army establishment of the Tang Army when it went out and the basic establishment when there was no war, with 3,000 people as a guard and army, led by the generals, and the garrison was defended in one place.

When a war of tens of thousands of people broke out, according to the circumstances, the guards and armies were merged into seven combat units of the Tang Army's wartime corps: the Central Army, the Left Yu Hou Army, the Right Yu Hou Army, the Left Front Army, the Left Rear Army, the Right Front Army, the Right Front Army, and the Right Rear Army.

According to the current establishment of the Anton Army, the senior generals of each guard and army are generals and three lieutenants.

Isn't this true that the senior generals of four of the newly formed 18 armies are generally 18 years old or younger?

The commander is young and can serve the people? Can it be combative? Xin'er is unimaginable.

Li Yu held Xin'er's smooth little hand, and said indifferently: "Although more than a dozen of them are young, they are all familiar with military books and martial arts since they were children, and they are not mediocre talents, the only thing they lack is actual combat experience." Moreover, they only occupied the position of commander-in-chief of the four armies, and the soldiers and horses they led were all new recruits who were integrated with soldiers and peasants, and they had to train themselves. If they train their troops and horses to be capable of fighting, I am not mistaken, if not, they will just be withdrawn, and the impact will not be great. I will not send them to charge into battle until they have become a strong army, and I will only increase the casualties. ”

"Even if these four armies are not good at fighting because of the young commanders. There are also 14 other armies, from the general to the team, all of which are veterans and veterans who have been on the battlefield from other guards and armies, and can also ensure that most of the newly formed army can fight. ”

What Li Yu didn't say in his heart was that he did this just to give Cheng Wuzhong, Xue Chuyu and others a chance to train and cultivate their military talents.

Cheng Wuzhong and Xue Chuyu's father and brother are all famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, and they are valued by Li Yu.

Xue Chuyu is a real famous general in the history books, and Li Yu wants him to get in touch with the military as soon as possible and become a general.

Although Cheng Wuzhong's deeds are not recorded in the history books, with his background as a general, Li Yu's contact with him for many years is not as good as his father and brother, but he is not mediocre and incompetent, and the general of any army is still enough.

"But they have only been in Andong for more than a month, and without any military exploits, Xun Jun awarded them the rank of captain, and now the four of them like Cheng Wuzhong have been promoted by two levels in a row, I am afraid that some people in the army will not be convinced." Xin'er worried.

Li Yu pulled Xin'er into his arms amid Xin'er's exclamation, teasingly pinched Xin'er's essence to her chin and smiled: "Sister Xin'er, you are really worried, the new eighteen armies are enough to accommodate the meritorious soldiers in the whole army, who else is not convinced?" ”

Tang Junzhong also talked about his background, and soldiers from high backgrounds and nobles could be given priority in promotion.

Li Yu didn't wait for Xin'er to speak, and impatiently blocked her seductive cherry lips with her mouth.
