Chapter 214 lays out Liaoxi

After crossing the Yushui River to the south, he was no longer afraid of revealing his whereabouts, Gao Shun released a high-level cavalry from the system as an escort, and then went straight to Yangle City. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Yangle City is located on the west bank of the Yushui River, which is the Daling River in later generations, and its geographical location is very important.

Tai Shouyang of Liaoxi County finally learned of Gao Shun's visit and immediately went to the city gate to greet him.

"Haha, welcome to the arrival of General Zhengbei, please hurry!" Yang Zhong greeted Gao Shun warmly, and after cooperating with Gao Shun, Liaoxi County settled down a lot, and killed Qiu Liju and made him a marquis, and he was very grateful to Gao Shun in his heart.

Blocked by Xianbei and Wuhuan, the road is impassable, and many places such as Liaodong County, Liaodong Dependent States, and the eastern part of Liaoxi County have basically cut off contact with the mainland; Often offended by the Wuhuan and Xianbei people, seeing that Gao Shun only brought such a small number of guards to Liaoxi County, Yang Zhong Taishou admired Gao Shun's courage even more.

When they came to the Taishou Mansion, the two sides sat down, and Yang Zhong first asked: "General Gao came from afar, what is the matter?" ”

Gao Shun said with a smile: "Haha, Liaoxi County is also Shun's defense area, and it is the duty to come and check it." ”

Yang Zhong dissuaded: "General Gao only brought such a small number of guards, it is really risky, and it is absolutely impossible to do it in the future, Xianbei is strong, and I have to guard against it." ”

"Haha, how dare Shun be careless, there is still a cavalry behind him." When Yang Zhong is older, Gao Shun automatically lowers his posture to show respect for him; As for the unwarranted cavalry behind him, it will be decided whether to release some of the junior cavalry according to the situation at that time, so that he can advance and retreat freely.

Yang finally thought for a moment and said: "If General Gao needs the old man's assistance, please feel free to put it forward, as long as the old man can do it, he will never refuse." ”

Gao Shun said: "Yang Taishou, the purpose of coming here is to check and rectify the border army in western Liaoning, and then collect Wuhuan in Liaoxi County, last time I killed Qiu Liju and thousands of cavalry, now should be their weakest time, we must take the opportunity to start, and we must not give them a chance to recover their strength." If possible, by the way, rectify the Hu cavalry of the Liaodong vassal state and strengthen the defense of the Xianbei people. ”

Hearing Gao Shun say this, Yang Zhong couldn't help but be overjoyed, although he was too guarded, but he was not good at military affairs, so that the military affairs in Liaoxi were abandoned for a long time, if Gao Shun could rectify the border army, he would be able to sit back and enjoy the profits. So he said: "Haha, thank you General Gao, the military General Gao of Liaoxi County can handle it with full authority, and the old man will never interfere." ”

Gao Shun was very satisfied with Yang Zhong's attitude, so he said, "Thank you Yang Taishou for your support." ”

Subsequently, Gao Shun, Li Qiang and others entered the military camp in western Liaoning and began to rectify the existing border army.

First of all, the differential treatment of cavalry and infantry thereafter, as well as the method of selection of officers, were announced; This move won the support of most of the officers and soldiers, only those who were weak or old regretted it, and those officers who relied on their connections to get to the top were reluctant, but the name of the general of Zhengbei was too big, so they did not dare to make mistakes, so they could only follow orders.

Then the reorganization began, first reorganizing the cavalry, which was in charge of Li Qiang; He'd dealt with similar things many times, and he was familiar with them.

Of the 2,100 cavalrymen available, only 1,100 qualified were selected. Unqualified cavalrymen were included in the infantry assessment.

Then 2,800 infantry were selected, from which 300 cavalry and 1,600 infantry were selected.

As for the unqualified 1900 soldiers, they will be dismissed

All officers were dismissed on the spot and participated in the selection of officers along with the soldiers.

The 1,400 cavalry were divided into 15 unorganized cantonments, and 15 junior military attachés were transferred to serve as cantonal commanders.

Each cavalry was divided into ten chiefs, and the captains and chiefs were selected by competing with each other. Subsequently, three middle-level military attachés were arranged to serve as cavalry officers.

1,600 people formed a department, with a middle-level military attache serving as the military commander; It is divided into four songs, and is served by 4 junior military attachés, with four tuns for each song; Wu Chang, Shi Chang, Du Bo and Tun Chang all challenged the winner one by one.

Some officers were very reluctant, but in order to obtain higher positions and salaries, they all worked hard to eat milk.

After the reorganization was completed, Gao Shun first used the system map to check all the selected candidates, and found no red dots, which made him very satisfied, and then announced: "I know that everyone is not suitable for this system, but it doesn't matter, the cavalry commander and the commander have the right to challenge the commander, and if they win, they will take the position of the commander; The infantry can also challenge upwards one by one, and can challenge until the military candidate or military commander, if it wins, the military position and salary are exchanged; The first challenge will be held tomorrow morning, and at the beginning of each month in the future, a challenge will be organized in a unified manner. ”

Through this reorganization, the number of officers and soldiers of the entire border army has decreased, but the combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, Yang Zhong is very satisfied with this, and sighs in his heart, why didn't he come up with such a simple method before? So he praised forward: "General Gao does have the ability, but with such a small means, he can clean up these unruly soldiers." ”

Gao Shun explained: "Haha, Yang Tai has a good reputation, soldiers are the most advocating of force, let them select junior officers through challenges, give full play to everyone's enthusiasm, than direct appointment can win the trust and support of officers and soldiers, can combat effectiveness be improved?" However, the eliminated officers and soldiers need to be arranged by Yang Taishou. ”

"That's no problem, but can such a small army keep Yangle safe?"

Gao Shun said: "After it is stabilized, it is necessary to recruit more officers and soldiers, and the cavalry and infantry will each maintain 3,000 people. ”

Yang Zhong said very embarrassed: "General Gao, the treatment of cavalry is too high, if you recruit again, then the old man is worried that the overrun will be too much, and Liaoxi County will not be able to supply so many border troops for the time being." ”

"Yang Taishou doesn't need to worry, how much grain does Yang Taishou spend every month, and how much grain does Yang Taishou spend every month in the future, and the difference between the insufficient is borne by the Zhengbei General's Mansion."

Yang Zhong was greatly satisfied with Gao Shun's decision and said, "Then thank you General Gao." In this way, not only will the number of officers and soldiers in Liaoxi County increase, the combat effectiveness will be stronger, and the safety of Yangle County will be more guaranteed, and there is no need to increase the expenditure of money and food, he is secretly happy in his heart.

Although Gao Shun suffered a loss on the surface and had to pay a lot of money and food every month, he used such simple means to control the border army of a county, laid out in advance, and made full preparations for the future chaos.

Subsequently, Gao Shun sent 1 middle-level civil official and 2 junior civil officials to take over the financial and material power of the military camp; 1 intermediate cook and 3 junior cooks were sent to take over the army's canteen.

In the future, all the logistics work of the border army was firmly grasped by Gao Shun.

Gao Shun announced that from now on, the border army would have three meals a day, and every soldier would be guaranteed to have enough to eat.

The food at noon that day was turned upside down, and every officer and soldier was well fed.

Cavalry commanders and infantry officers and officers of higher rank were allowed to eat Xiaozao, which inspired the border troops to keep moving forward, hoping that one day they would also be able to eat Xiaozao's meals.

Yang Zhong admired Gao Shun's resolute and resolute style, and in just one day, the atmosphere and appearance of the entire military camp were completely different from before.
