Chapter 9 Wang Yuren Zhenbei
Tai Shi Ci gives people the feeling that he is very sunny and righteous, this is not just a feeling, he is like this.
There was no request for Li Ming in the letter of invitation, but with a pleading tone, he said that he went out to study and seek medical treatment in the past, and his mother was in his hometown, so it can be said that he had to be taken care of by Kong Taishou. Now Kong Taishou wrote a letter to him, hoping that he could go to support Tao Qian, but he couldn't find a reason to refuse. The main meaning of the letter was to take a leave of absence from Li Ming for a period of time, and he planned to go to the front alone.
"This Ziyi, didn't you think that he might be sent to the front line?" Li Ming only felt speechless.
"Tai Shici is now guarding Changsha, and the strategic direction must be west, and the northern front has nothing to do with him." Wang Yu sat in front of Li Ming and said slowly.
"We're not a Hanting here, so it's not fashionable to hang a seal. Since he was in charge of guarding the west, it would be a violation of the military order to go north without a military order...... In this way, transfer Zu Lang to Pang De's command, and transfer him to Xu Huang's command. This time, Huang Zhong's troops did not move, Xu Huang's troops went north, and after arriving in Xiapi Kingdom, let him go north with me! Li Ming thought for a while and said.
If you can violate military regulations because of righteousness this time, then there will always be people who will have this and that excuse to violate them in the future. The army is not a river and lake, and what is important is obedience, at least obedience must be above righteousness.
"This aspect needs to be propagated, and in another year, a new batch of prison soldiers will be able to be trained. The lord's idea is very good, and he actually intends to promote the spirit of loyalty and obedience through the supervision of the army, and in the long run, the loyalty of the army will inevitably be greatly improved. Wang Yu was very satisfied with Li Ming's arrangement, which was of great significance to the central government's control of the local army.
Of course, Li Ming would not tell him that this so-called military supervision system came from the political commissar system. After all, he didn't establish any party, so naturally there was no such thing as a political commissar. However, there have been prison troops since ancient times, and even the Qin Emperor sent the prince to serve as a supervisor in the army, so it is normal for Li Ming to arrange a group of prison soldiers to enter the army.
It's just that this group of supervisors is not responsible for commanding, but only responsible for supervising the top officers, not to mention, but also responsible for political propaganda work. Then a certain level of cultural literacy is required, Li Ming gathered a lot of soldiers with good learning ability, spent more than a year on literacy and preliminary training, according to Wang Yu's words, in another year they will be able to complete the training, and when they graduate, they will go to the army to serve as a supervisor.
"Meow, the finances of the past two years have been put on internal affairs construction, how many soldiers can this bring north?" Li Ming's train of thought returned to the north, and he was suddenly depressed again considering the issue of military spending.
"The lord is embarrassed to say this?" Wang Yu immediately complained, "Looking at the world, the princes of various places, even the Guanzhong court, have increased their military investment to seventy percent, and Lu Bu's side has even increased it to ninety percent, and our side is actually less than thirty percent...... This investment, at most, can only be regarded as paying for the daily expenses of the army, as well as carrying out some equipment updates and the like, and it is a problem to carry out a large-scale operation! β
"But!" Wang Yu smiled, "In recent years, the people's livelihood and economy in all counties have been developing at an accelerated pace, and there is enough food in the granaries of various places, which fully supports a war of 50,000 people in terms of military rations!" At the same time, the finances of various localities are also increasing rapidly, which is the inevitable result of economic development. In other words, in terms of the current financial reserves, it is not a problem at all to support a regular operation of 50,000 men, or a short-term operation of 100,000 men! β
"Really?!" Li Ming immediately became excited when he heard this.
"The ruler's insistence on governing has brought you a reward!" Wang Yu smiled and nodded, now the economic income of Huiji County, Wu County and Danyang County has been on the same level as the previous data of several prosperous counties in the Central Plains.
On the other hand, in various places, due to excessive military spending, people's livelihood and economy have withered. Especially in LΓΌ Bu's Hanoi County, I heard that there had been a large-scale number of displaced people, but fortunately, LΓΌ Bu's important right and left hand Chen Gong came forward to coordinate with the major families, so there was no turmoil.
Judging from the intelligence, this Chen Gong is indeed a talent, and he has outstanding talents in coordinating family relations and governance. It is said that he was recruited by Lu Bu on the way back to the north, and I don't know what dog he went. luck.
"One more thing!" Wang Yu looked at Li Ming very seriously, "I want to apply for being transferred back to the army, you also know that my profession is heroic, and it is my duty to lead the army to fight." You've made it a bit difficult for me to govern. Gu Yan or Xun Biao's talents are above me, what I am good at is commanding and governing the army, and in terms of governance, I am only half a bucket of water! β
"Hahaha, what should I do!" Li Ming immediately laughed when he heard this, "I don't need you to complain here, I have plans to do this!" You see, after Guangling and Xiapi are defeated, plus the two counties of Jiujiang and Lujiang, we will have four counties in Jiangbei. It's a bit of a big picture, I mean it's going to set up a military region here, and there has to be a person in this military region to coordinate the various departments. Who else under my command can hold this position but you! I've already thought about the military position for you, General Zhenbei, how is it? β
"This is exactly what I want, but I need to transfer Bai Xin to my command as chief of staff, can I?" Wang Yu thought about it for a moment, and then asked Li Ming.
"You're old partners, so of course it's not a problem. In fact, Zhige was born to eat military rations, and it is a bit condescending to govern the place. Not to mention that during this time, Xiang Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia learned a lot of strategic knowledge, and their ability to govern has not increased, but their strategic ability has improved a lot. Li Ming said with a smile.
This is not a joke, after several years of study, Bai Xin's staff ability has greatly increased, but on the contrary, his ability to administer government has been sluggish. According to Xun Biao's evaluation, if Bai Xin is in politics, he is at most a county guard, and if he joins the army, whether he is leading an army alone or serving as a chief of staff, he is very suitable. His staff ability is even no less than that of Xi Zhicai or Guo Jia.
"Okay, I'll take the position of general of Zhenbei next!" Wang Yu patted his chest and replied.
"As for your current position in governance, I will let Xun Biao succeed you, you hand him over, don't make any trouble at this time. In addition, handle the logistics well, and take the 50,000 elite soldiers under Xu Huang to the north this time! Li Ming said further.
"Please rest assured that this is the master!" Wang Yu arched his hand and took his leave.
With Wang Yu's resignation, Xun Biao ascended to the throne, and the entire Jiangdong also entered the stage of preparing for war, Li Ming personally went north, and the guerrilla army was transferred to Quanjiao County to station. At the same time, Xu Huang's department began to carry out the final training, and three days later, Li Ming came to the military camp with the guards, as well as Wang Yu and Bai Xin, and the large army began to assemble and began to pull out the camp!
Zhou Tai was responsible for organizing the crossing of the river, and the whole army spent a day entering Guangling County, playing the name of supporting Tao Qian, and ordering the counties of Guangling and Xiapi County to give convenience.
Most of the county orders, seeing Li Minghao going north, opened the city gates one after another to welcome them. After all, no one wants to offend a fierce man who can kill a quasi-big demon, especially when he sees that there are 100,000 elite troops behind him.
Among the 100,000 troops, only 50,000 are soldiers, and the rest are auxiliary soldiers and logistics troops, and even Li Ming claims to be an army of 200,000. From a distance, the line stretched endlessly, and those county orders who stood on the wall and watched suddenly lost the courage to fight.
As for the few disobedient ones, Li Ming directly broke the city gate in the name of collaborating with the enemy, and came to behead all over the city.
