Chapter 272: Spoils of War and Post-War Deployment
Dong Zhuo's temper has subsided a lot: "I just don't know if your father-in-law has any plans to negotiate peace with me now."
Lu Fan and Jia Xu smiled and said, "Xiangguo rest assured, my lord will definitely send someone over."
A day later, Liang Mao came to the Tiger Prison Pass
He originally wanted to adopt the attitude that Jin Liang had told him before, and his attitude was very respectful, but he saw Jia Xu and Lu Fan making eye contact with him
Liang Mao looked at Dong Zhuo's expression again, and instantly understood what Jia Xu and Lu Fan meant, this old Dong was scared by the lord
Ryomao changed his initial deference and became arrogant, and doubled the terms of peace
Jin Liang originally considered that the Xiliang army had been repeatedly defeated and many soldiers had died in battle, and their wives and children had no one to support them, so Jin Liang proposed a way to preserve the vitality of the Han Dynasty, and exchanged one Xiliang prisoner for five civilians under the age of fifty, and two women of childbearing age between the ages of fifteen and thirty-five, who could be on top of five ordinary people
Liang Mao directly proposed: In addition to returning to us the families of the Xiliang soldiers who surrendered to our Central Army, one Xiliang prisoner should be exchanged for ten civilians under the age of fifty or four women of childbearing age
Dong Zhuo's fat face suddenly turned into a big bitter melon: The civilians under the control of our Xiliang Army are less than two million, and this time I will send the families of the soldiers to you, and the families of these soldiers are estimated to be two or three hundred thousand, in order to exchange for 40,000 prisoners, and give you 400,000 civilians, six or seven hundred thousand people will be removed at once, and we will go there to collect taxes and raise the army
Liang Mao sneered unceremoniously: My lord said that these good people will die in a few years under the trampling of your Xiliang Army, hundreds of thousands of Xiangguo adults, you might as well take these hundreds of thousands to exchange your soldiers back as soon as possible, it seems that the real elite of your Xiliang Army is less than 50,000 now, and the remaining 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers are all recently recruited Sili people, they don't have a good impression of your Xiliang Army, how can they work hard for you, Lord Xiangguo, I think you should get together these poor people as soon as possible, and exchange those Xiliang soldiers who are loyal to you back, saving you from being a small soldier and being bullied by those princes of the family
Dong Zhuo spread his hands and looked helpless: The families of those soldiers are okay to say, but they can drive away 400,000 people from the Sili area at once, and they are worried that the people here are nostalgic for their homeland and don't want to leave, if I force them, I am afraid that they will rise up
Liang Mao knew that those people who were subordinate to him were eager to escape Dong Zhuo's clutches, but Dong Zhuo needed these people to cultivate grain and pay taxes for him, so he said in a high-sounding manner that these people were reluctant to give up their homeland, and Liang Mao didn't bother to demolish him
Jia Xu came up with an idea on the side: Xiangguo has two ways, didn't your Xiliang Army die tens of thousands of people, their widows and daughters can be used to exchange prisoners with our Central Army, in addition, you can rob some people from other states and counties, such as snatching some women of childbearing age from Nanyang County and Runan County, and you only need 160,000 women of childbearing age to exchange for your 40,000 strong soldiers
Dong Zhuo's fat face smiled as cruel as a chrysanthemum: Wen He's plan is very wonderful
Liang Mao said coldly on the side: Lord Xiangguo, I would like to remind you that the Xiliang soldiers snatched the guns but could not be raped, and if you Xiliang soldiers were raped by the women, we would not accept any of them
Liang Mao is now behaving more and more, Dong Zhuo thinks that Jin Liang's strength is strong and cannot be offended, but he knows the virtue of the Xiliang soldiers under him, so he frowned and said with a wry smile: Hehe, try to restrain your nature
Dong Zhuo wished that Jin Liang would send the 40,000 Xiliang prisoners back now to help him defend Tiger Prison Pass and Luoyang, although the princes of the Kwantung family were all gone, but Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Ma Teng, and Han Sui were still eyeing the Sili region, these guys had a holiday with Dong Zhuo, unlike Jin Liang, who formed an alliance with himself in order to fight against the powerful family alliance, Dong Zhuo was very worried about being popped by these guys
Because Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liu Bei, and Bao Xin's men and horses were still there, Jin Liang and Dong Zhuo could not openly exchange prisoners and populations for the time being, Dong Zhuo first released the eighteen brothers of Jia Xu, Lu Fan and Gan Ning to show his sincerity, and Liang Mao temporarily stayed in the Tiger Prison Pass to contact Dong Zhuo and Li Ru
When Gan Ning's eighteen brothers arrived at the camp of the Central Army, Jin Liang asked them to go south to find Gan Ning
Jia Xu blinked his little eyes: Lord, you are so relieved to let them go, in case Gan Ning leads them back to Yizhou together, will we not give up our efforts
Jin Liang looked at the surging water bypassing to the south of the camp: I believe that Gan Ning is a man of his promise and will definitely live up to my expectations
Half a day later, Gan Ning really returned to the Central Army camp
His eighteen brothers found Gan Ning in the upper reaches of the river, and Gan Ning took advantage of this waiting time to subdue a group of river thieves on the river and became his subordinates
Only then did Jin Liang realize that there were pirates on the sea, and there were pirates on the Yellow River and several large tributaries that flowed into the Yellow River, just as there were bandits on the slightly larger mountains, and there were strong water generals like Gan Ning who could subdue them
Jin Liang smiled and asked Gan Ning: How large does the Xingba Yellow River Water Division need to be able to master all the rivers on both sides of the Yellow River
Gan Ning carefully calculated in his heart: Hui Lord is about 10,000 sailors, 100 large ships, and 500 small boats, which is enough to have such a scale, and in the end, we will be able to send our central army anywhere through the river, and can also attack any port
Jin Liang nodded: How are you going to recruit these 10,000 sailors
Gan Ning said with a smile: The last general has grown up near the water since he was a child, and knows that many fishermen are fishermen during the day and river thieves at night, but most of them are also forced by their livelihood and have to take risks, and the last general is ready to recruit 2,000 fishermen to train them well, and use these 2,000 people to collect all the fishermen on both sides of the Yellow River
Jin Liang pondered for a moment: In this way, I will select some people from the current Central Army who used to make a living by fishing or grew up by the Yellow River, select 1,000 people, plus your eighteen brothers as the team of the Yellow River Water Division, of course, the Yellow River Water Division is subordinate to the Central Army, an integrated division and regiment, and must be handled in accordance with the various systems of the Central Army, and I still have to send them to join the army at all levels, I hope you can understand
Before Gan Ning came, he had some superficial understanding of Jin Liang's central army, he was very interested in the setting of joining the army, although he was unruly, fierce and easy to kill, but he never established himself as a king, and his ambition has always been to find a successful lord, as for the military power is restricted and monitored, it is nothing compared to being able to lead tens of thousands of water armies and make contributions and go down in history, Gan Ning is happy that Jin Liang understands the checks and balances of power, and he secretly thinks in his heart that only such a lord can succeed in this troubled world
Gan Ning suddenly thought of a very critical question: how many ships does the lord and our army have now
Jin Liangdao: The Bohai Sea Division has been building the largest number of sea boats, and as for the ships on the Yellow River, they are now concentrated in Liyang, and we have a boat yard that has been building river boats, and now there are about 20 large boats and 200 small boats, and of course there are more than 1,000 fishing boats that can be requisitioned in case of emergency
Gan Ning said with a smile: The structure of the main public water army warship must be conducive to water combat, and the fishing boats are still not enough, and can only be used as a supplement to large-scale water battles, but the water surface of the Yellow River is narrow and narrow, and it is impossible for a large-scale water war to occur
Jin Liang ordered Lu Cui to take out the sketch of the big ship in the sea and handed it to Gan Ning to see, Gan Ning couldn't understand the sketch of the big ship, and asked Jin Liang patiently gave him a detailed explanation, Gan Ning listened to it, stroked his palms and said with a smile: Lord, this car and ship should be smaller, so that they can run rampant on the Yellow River and the Yangtze River without fear
Jin Liangdao: Now that Liyang is in charge of the sailors of this fleet, they belong to the Bohai Water Division, so I will let them leave 500 people to enrich the grassroots officer corps of your Yellow River Water Division, and strive to do so in the shortest possible time without the permission of the Yellow River Water Division, and no force can cross the Yellow River
Gan Ning received the order but did not leave immediately and pointed to the two people beside him: The lord will introduce you to the two of them
Jin Liang fixed his eyes and saw that there were two people standing behind Gan Ning, one of whom was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a clear face and sharp eyes, and the appearance of looking at people was either like a spear piercing or like a crossbow arrow piercing the heart, which made people daunting. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info The other person is twenty years old, his eyebrows are delicate, his eyes are calm, and he has no timidity in the face of Jin Liang, the first general in the world of Megatron.
Gan Ning pointed to the man with a clear face and sharp eyes: "The lord is a native of Shu County, Zhang Renzi is a man of Shu County, and his marksmanship is superb and he is good at using crossbows."
He pointed to the man with clear eyebrows and calm eyes: "The lord is a man from Langzhong, Huang Quanzi is a man of Langzhong, and he is good at governing the government."
Jin Liang laughed loudly and said: "I can get the help of your three heroes in Sichuan, although I have not yet arrived in Shu, I have already won the heart of Shu."
Zhang Ren and Huang Quan, the three heroes of Sichuan, arched their hands and smiled: "Wen Hou, you have a good reputation"
Judging from Zhang Ren's Huang Quan's title to Jin Liang, the two of them still don't regard Jin Liang as the lord
Jin Liang said with a smile: "Gong Heng Gong Ze Xing Ba Shu Zhong is heroic, but I think that only the three of you are the talents of peace and stability of the country, Gong Heng Gong is responsible, now my court is in ruins, it is the time to employ people, please also ask the two of you to help me in Zhongxing, the Han Dynasty, the support of the community, Jixia An Lishu"
Jin Liang bowed and said very respectfully
Zhang Ren and Huang Quan hurriedly returned the salute: "The two of us are willing to serve the lord"
It turned out that although Huang Quan was talented, he was not very old, and he was born in a poor family, and Liu Yan worked hard to win over the local family in order to secure the position of the emperor in Yizhou, and he did not value the children of a poor family like Huang Quan, so Huang Quan is now just a small official in the county.
Zhang Ren was sent by Jin Liang to gather talents, and he got together with Huang Quan by chance.
He got Jin Liang's first expedition documents, he felt that Yizhou was too far away from Jizhou, he was unwilling to leave his hometown, and later received Jin Liang's second expedition documents, during which Jin Liang supported the Xiangyang Imperial Court to break the Black Mountain Army and other prestige has spread to Yizhou, Zhang Ren and Huang Quan saw that they had never been reused by Liu Yan in Yizhou, so they thought about it, it is better to go to Jizhou to take a look, if Jin Liang is really a famous minister who can rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, we might as well assist him, and he is better than assisting Liu Yan, an old man who has stepped into the coffin with one foot, coincided with Wu Yi, Gan Ning wanted to come to Luoyang, so they followed Cheng Gan Ning of Shu County to Luoyang
Gan Ning is now a Shu Juncheng, not a Jinfan thief, he has only sixteen of his capable subordinates, and it is said that eighteen are counted in Zhang Ren and Huang Quan
Zhang Ren arched his hand and asked: "The lord doesn't know how you will place the two of us, which means what position you are going to give us?"
In fact, if they were willing to wait until Liu Yan died, after Liu Zhang ascended to the throne, in order to consolidate their power and fight against the local families who were too big to fall, they began to use them, the children of the poor family, and they would be on the throne, of course, Jin Liang would not tell them this historical fact. It was also Zhang Ren who gave Jin Liang an opportunity to buy people's hearts.
Jin Liang thought for a while: "You all have great talents, I don't want to wronged you, but when you first arrived in the Central Army, you didn't make an inch, and you were suddenly promoted too high, I'm afraid that other soldiers will not accept such public responsibilities, and there is still a lack of a battalion commander in the Central Army Teaching Brigade, you will take responsibility."
After the expansion of the Flying Tiger Guards Division, the original teaching battalion and propaganda battalion were also expanded into the teaching brigade and the propaganda brigade
Jin Liang saw Zhang Ren's blank face and hurriedly explained: " Our Central Army has set up a teaching brigade and a Xuanfu Brigade to train grassroots officers for our Central Army, and the teaching brigade is led by me to train grassroots military commanders for our Central Army, and the Xuanfu Brigade has Lu Fan and Lu Ziheng under the command of Lu Fan and Lu Ziheng to train grassroots units to join the army for our Central Army, and after half a year in the Teaching Brigade and the Xuanfu Brigade, they will be released to other teams to be promoted to one level, and you will now be the battalion commander of the teaching brigade below the Flying Tiger Division, commanding 500 auxiliary soldiers, 500 soldiers, 1,000 soldiers, and horses, and you can command 4,000 men and horses for a brigade commander after half a year or in a short time."
Zhang Ren showed great joy, in his past days, as a Shu county official, he could only bring a dozen people at most to do some chores, and this time he suddenly became a battalion commander, commanding a thousand people, and half a year later, he could lead four thousand people, it seems that the lord really understands his talents, and really values himself
Jin Liang saw Zhang Ren's expression and knew that he was very satisfied, and couldn't help but smile: "Gongzhi, you haven't seen your junior brother Zhao Yun, he joined the Central Army more than two months earlier than you, and has made many military exploits, I am ready to promote him to the commander of the division, commanding 10,000 soldiers, 10,000 auxiliary soldiers, and 20,000 horses, Gongzhi, you have to work hard, don't always lag behind your junior brother."
Zhang Ren said with a smile: "My lord, please rest assured, although the marksmanship of the last general is not as good as that of the junior brother, but the method of training and leading the troops is not under him, and the last general can also achieve the position of the division commander within two years."
Jin Liangsheng Jiaqizhi. After all, this is a family general who has followed him for a long time.
Huang Quan bowed down and asked, "Lord, I don't know how you will place the last general?" β
Jin Liang thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Gong Heng, you go to the Xuanfu Brigade to be a battalion commander, the promotion law is the same as the teaching brigade, and after half a year, you will be put on a brigade to join the army." β
Huang Quan asked, "What exactly do you do when you join the army?" β
Jin Liang said with a smile: "Let me tell you simply, the chief general is only responsible for military matters such as training and operations, and the rest of the things are all in charge of the army. After you enter the camp, there will be special people to train you. β
Speaking of this, Jin Liang said to Gan Ning: "Xingba, when you have time, you must also come to the teaching brigade to observe, according to the regulations of our Central Army, those who do not participate in the training brigade or the Xuanfu brigade course will not be promoted, and those who have a total course of less than 100 hours will not be promoted." β
In addition to allowing the generals to improve their military command quality and military skills, Jin Liang's more important purpose is to let the generals below accept brainwashing, unify their thinking, and respect him alone1,.
Gan Ning was very uninterested in participating in this kind of training, he thought it was as boring as the school, so he shook his head: "The last general has been annoyed with listening to Mr. lectures since he was a child, which is boring and makes people drowsy. β
Jin Liang said with a smile: "Xingba, our courses are all taught by our Central Army generals or imperial court generals, and most of them are based on the analysis of real battle examples. β
As soon as Gan Ning heard that he was talking about real war examples, he became interested: "Since it is about fighting." Then let me take my time. β
Jin Liang did not specifically list brainwashing in the lecture notes of the Teaching Brigade and the Xuanfu Brigade, and if he listed what doctrines, ideas, and theories were listed separately as a course, although it could brainwash people in a short period of time and make people blindly follow themselves. However, such a short-term and intense brainwashing method will make those who are brainwashed weak, dependent, and form dual personalities, which will produce cognitive dysfunction, change core beliefs, and it is very easy to rebound.
Jin Liang knows very well that a considerable part of the reason for the lack of faith in a certain period of later generations is that political belief is simply nonsense and illusory, and then there is no spiritual faith, and there is a bigger reason that the brainwashing method is wrong, when the brainwashed people cannot set an example and cannot practice it, why should those who are brainwashed believe in that set of doctrines, ideas, and theories are correct?
Jin Liang will never impose what he thinks is wrong on the people of this era. Of course, he did not instill any anachronistic democracy, but preached the ideas of leader worship, Hanism, and olive-shaped society, which were interspersed with the explanations of Jin Liang and other high-ranking military attachΓ©s and strategists, like a slanting wind and drizzle. Slowly nourish the hearts of the officers and men of the Central Army.
ββββββββ Dividing Lineβββββββ
The frustrated professor who was in charge of the post-war inventory came to report with a sad face: "My lord, after statistics, our officers and men of the Central Army have lost a total of more than 4,700 soldiers and more than 4,200 auxiliaries in this battle. β
"How much to lose?!" Jin Liang knew that this battle was more tragic than before, but he didn't expect that there would be so many battle losses: "What do you mean by loss?" β
"My lord. We added to the count those who were so badly injured that they were destined to be unable to be saved, as well as those who were revived but were severely disabled and could no longer go to war. He calculated a little: "Those who are severely disabled have more than 1,200 soldiers and more than 1,400 auxiliaries. β
"How do you generally settle these severely disabled soldiers?" Jin Liang delegated such a matter to the Military Affairs Yuan to deal with. As the vice president of the Military Affairs Yuan, he was in charge of this matter.
"We have five levels based on the degree of disability. Each level has a different standard of bereavement benefits, after the pension has been granted. These veterans who can no longer go to the battlefield will be arranged to be instructors in local counties and counties if they are less proficient, and we will be assigned to the Tuntian Corps to be responsible for managing the tuntian and pastures for those who are more serious, and we will arrange for them to live in nursing homes, arrange special personnel to take care of them, and send them to their old age. β
Jin Liang nodded: "I hope you all come to fruition, I don't want any veteran to become a begging flower on the street because of his disability, if I let me know who treats disabled veterans slowly, I will never spare them!" β
During the harmonious years of the Later Qing Dynasty, Jin Liang often saw some Korean War veterans begging on the streets, and he deeply hated the criminal behavior of those corrupt officials who spent all their time drinking and leaving the country's heroes behind. In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jin Liang, who was born as a military general, especially hated those civil officials from families, and as soon as his upper lip touched his lower lip, he canceled the treatment that should belong to the military. After he came to power, he naturally did not allow this kind of thing to happen, and anyone who embezzled military salaries, military supplies, and pensions, especially civilian officials, was ordered by Jin Liang to work for life for his whole family.
"Why did you lose so many soldiers?" Jin Liang asked again: "Did your Military Affairs Yuan conduct a post-war summary?" β
After each battle, Jin Liang would ask the relevant generals and strategists to make a post-war summary and summarize the lessons and lessons.
"Lord, most of the losses in this battle are Xu Ronghuaxiong's new division group, they thought that Dong Zhuo had killed their family, and they attacked the Tiger Prison Pass at any cost, trying to kill Dong Zhuo and avenge their family, but when they finally attacked the drawbridge, they were shot to death by the Xiliang archers who closed it."
Jin Liang sighed: "Gonghe, I got the latest information, Dong Zhuo hasn't had time to kill their families, I am going to use some captive soldiers to exchange their families to Jizhou, I am worried that these soldiers will oppose us and Dong Zhuo to make peace, you let the army at all levels do a good job of ideological communication between their divisions, if they don't negotiate peace, it will be difficult for their families to return to their side." (To be continued.) )
