Chapter 106 Ningcheng Reform

After another 5 days at Takayanagi Castle, the county had completely moved out, and a large part of the merchants had been evacuated. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Daoren County has a large number of garrisons, so there is no need to relocate for the time being; They can provide some paid services to the garrison and obtain a source of livelihood.

The Taishou Mansion of Takayanagi Castle was later used as Cao Xing's office, leaving him a tun of sword and shield soldiers and a tun of pikemen to defend his Governor's Mansion. One of Cao Xing's main responsibilities was to train the Wutun cavalry; The infantry was trained by three junior military attachΓ©s arranged by Gao Shun; Copywriting and financial work are the responsibility of junior civil servants.

On September 12, Gao Shun and others went to Ning County.

The troops brought by Xu Lin included Xu Lin's Santun cavalry, a tun of junior cavalry led by Fang Liang, a two-tun fortified battalion led by Lu Min, and a tun of pikemen and 50 carts.

Li Qiang and Ge Hu temporarily served as Gao Shun's personal bodyguards.

On September 14, the sect member who was then the captain of Wuhuan led the military Sima and the chief officer and others to wait in the school captain's mansion early. The sect member is now like an arrow, eager to leave this place, the strength of the Wuhuan people is getting stronger and stronger, and their actions are becoming more and more domineering, which makes him feel very dangerous; And the money and food allocated by the imperial court every year are getting less and less, and the rewards for the Wuhuan people cannot satisfy their appetite at all.

The sect member was not as sleek as Liu Hui, the Taishou of the county, and immediately handled the handover after a simple greeting, and did not participate in the farewell banquet, and immediately led his men and horses to withdraw, leaving the mess to Zhou Fei.

The sect member was born in a big family of scholars, and he looked down on a reckless person like Zhou Fei at all, and felt that eating with him was an insult to him.

Gao Shun didn't pay attention to the rudeness of this kind of little person at all. First of all, I checked the attributes of the military commander and the commander, and they were all good, and thought to myself, if they were willing to stay in office, let them continue to hold their original positions.

Jun Sima, Wan Hong, 33 years old, the word is just, the force value is 71, the intelligence is 61, and the politics is 53.

Chief, Gu Tong, Zifei, 38 years old, force value 51, intelligence 72, politics 70.

After the sect members left, Zhou Fei immediately convened everyone to discuss the matter. The military Sima and the chief officer were a little apprehensive in their hearts.

Zhou Fei spoke first: "Justice, Zifei, I am new to the city, and I am familiar with the local situation, so you can introduce me first." ”

The chief official said: "Captain Zhou, the biggest difficulty at present is the lack of food and money, the imperial court in the early years from the two states of Qingdao and Hebei every year to transfer 100 million money, then 80 million money, now not even 60 million; As the rewards for the Wuhuan gradually decreased, they often plundered, causing a large number of Han Chinese to move south, and merchants were reluctant to take the risk of coming, so prices soared. ”

Jun Sima said: "Captain Zhou, now there are 800 cavalry and 1,600 infantry in the Captain's Mansion, and the life of the officers and soldiers is very difficult, many people are not willing to continue to stay here, and there are many officers and soldiers who have fled. ”

Gao Shun asked, "The Captain's Mansion only has such a small number of troops?" ”

Wan Hong said: "The military division, the school captain's mansion does not have many troops, and in the event of a war, you can transfer the surrounding county soldiers and county soldiers, mainly to save money, and there are many soldiers who have fled." ”

Gao Shun felt that this Wuhuan captain was a chicken rib, and he was cheated by the emperor again, Zhou Fei, the captain of Wuhuan was not awarded the envoy festival, if Shanggu County and Dai County were not under his control, they would not be able to mobilize the border army at all.

Zhou Fei said: "Don't worry about food and money, I will find a way to solve it, and the price of food will be controlled at a reasonable price; I would like to know now about the Wuhuan people. ”

Jun Sima said: "Captain Zhou, although the Wuhuan King Lou is difficult to say a little more domineering, but he is the most kind and sleek of the four Wuhuan kings, and he is also the most restrained, he admires the Han culture, as long as the people can live, there will be no looting, compared to the Wuhuan king of the three eastern counties, but after all, he is not our Han people, not my race, his heart will be different." ”

"How strong are they?"

Wan Hong said: "Captain Zhou, there are more than ten tribes under the king of Nanlou, and each tribe has a different number of tribes, distributed in the east of Shanggu County, Dai County and Yanmen County, each of which has about 10,000 people, and a total of more than 100,000 Wuhuan people; The tent of Nanlou is set up on the bank of the Yanghe River in the northwest of Ning County, occupying a very large grassland and more than 20,000 people directly under the department. ”

Gao Shun asked, "Wouldn't it be very difficult for him to contact the other tribes?" ”

"There has always been a loose alliance between the different races, and nothing important is going their separate ways."

In this way, Gao Shun can rest assured, and when the time comes, he can take various measures to break through, and at present, he still focuses on developing his own strength, otherwise everything will be empty.

So, Gao Shun said: "We have made adjustments, the Dai County has been adjusted, the county has been relocated to Dai Wang City, and the northern governor has been established, stationed in Gaoliu City, and the central governor has been stationed in Daoren City. The area south of Jiming Mountain will be under the jurisdiction of Shanggu County, the area north of Jiming Mountain will be under the jurisdiction of the Captain's Office, and the Macheng of Dai County and the Guangning City and Ningcheng of Shanggu County will be under the jurisdiction of the Captain's Office in the future; All the Han people north of Jiming Mountain were relocated to the south of Zhishui in Daijun or to the south of Jiming Mountain in Shanggu County. In the future, the district under the jurisdiction of the school captain and the central and northern districts of Dai County will be used as battlefields, without the drag of the people, and they can let go of the fighting, otherwise they will not be happy to start fighting. ”

The two of them had long known that Daijun Taishou, Kamiya Taishou, and Captain Huwuhuan were from the same force, and now they finally confirmed it from Gao Shun's mouth, so that the three places would join forces to facilitate defense.

Gu Chang said: "Military division, it is a good thing to set up a lieutenant in the north and a lieutenant in the middle of the county, but there are also disadvantages, and the advantage is that several garrisons can support each other; The disadvantage is that the forces are scattered and easy to be broken by the enemy; Secondly, the Han people all moved south, and there was no need to protect them, but without their support, it would be more difficult to defend, and we lacked soldiers and auxiliary personnel, otherwise, we could organize the people to defend the city at a critical moment. ”

Gao Shun said: "Zifei doesn't need to worry, Dai County and Shanggu County are one here, and after the two Taishou are stable, they can recruit troops to support the north, and at the same time, we are also ready to go to Jizhou and Youzhou to recruit troops, there is no shortage of soldiers, what is lacking is only time." ”

"It would be better if the military advisor arranged it like this."

Gao Shun suddenly asked: "The salary remains the same, do you two stay in office?" ”

"Strategist, I'm willing to stay!" Wan Hong said.

"Strategist, I'll stay on too!" Gu Tong then said.

Gao Shun said: "Justice will continue to serve as the military Sima, but he will be in charge of the infantry, and the selection will be eliminated tomorrow, and the old, weak, sick and disabled will all be dismissed as people; The cavalry was also to be eliminated, and the remaining cavalry was under the jurisdiction of Xu Sima; Zifei continued to serve as a chief official and assisted Captain Zhou in his work. ”

"Yes, Strategist." The three replied.

Gu Tong suggested again: "Military advisor, the salaries of various officials and officers and soldiers have not been paid for two months, can they be repaid recently?" ”

"Tomorrow we will pay back the arrears. After all the families of officers and soldiers moved inward, they could buy cheap grain from the local area for 300 wen per stone. ”

"Thank you, Strategist." The two were very moved, and in this way, the life of the military family will be much better.

The next day, Gao Shun and others eliminated the cavalry and infantry,

A total of more than 560 qualified cavalrymen were selected, and more than 200 were selected from the infantry to join the cavalry; Gao Shun was very satisfied, and the quality of the border army of Daijun was much better; mixed with Xu Lin's three teams of cavalry to form 9 tun cavalry, all of which were led by Xu Lin.

In the end, there were more than 900 infantry left, and 9 infantry cantonments were formed, which were led by Wan Hong.

Wan Hong and Xu Lin began to train frantically.

As a result of the substantial improvement in the remuneration of officers and men, the replacement of weapons and equipment, the improvement of dietary conditions, and the enthusiasm of soldiers for training, especially the infantry, most of them hope to train hard and one day join the ranks of the cavalry and enjoy better treatment.

Gu Tong was also working hard to arrange for Hermes-Epitek, the families of the officers and soldiers, and the eliminated officers and soldiers to move south.

At the same time, Shanggu County asked Shanggu County to disperse these people to various counties and townships for resettlement, arrange wasteland for them to be reclaimed, and the government to provide them with grain until the autumn harvest in August next year, and exempt them from taxes for three years.

They also have to be self-reliant and help each other build houses to live in.

Macheng and Quang Ninh counties have also taken unified measures, but fortunately, the population of the two places is already small. The county magistrate, county lieutenant and county magistrate all come to Ning County to be examined, and those who pass the examination will be arranged for other work.

One of the county magistrates, Lei An, whose name is Zhongping, was assigned to supervise the resettlement of the migrants in Shanggu County. A county magistrate, Guangchao, whose name is Ziyi, was appointed as a school lieutenant and was responsible for liaising with the foreign affairs commissioners of the Wuhuan tribes; These two people enjoy 400 stones.

The two county lieutenants were reappointed as military candidates, under the direct jurisdiction of Sima of Wanhongjun, each led 200 infantry to return to the county to guard, the original county soldiers were selected and eliminated, and the unqualified ones moved south to the people; These two people enjoy 400 stones.

The two county officials were arranged to serve as military officials, responsible for the management of copywriting and materials; Enjoy 300 stones.
