Chapter 144 Garrison Liaoxi
The first battle was a great victory, and everyone was very happy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info especially Zhang Fei, who won the battle at home, was even more excited, Gao Shun gave him a three-day holiday, went home to celebrate, and took care of the family business.
Zhang Fei went home to have a feast, and took the opportunity to sell his family's shop and land at a high price, leaving only the manor and the old mansion to be taken care of by the old housekeeper, which was an ancestral business and could not be handled casually.
Now the situation in Youzhou is stable, and a large number of Jizhou families have come to Youzhou for refuge and are preparing to buy property and start a business, so that Zhang Fei's shop and land are sold at a very high price, which makes him very satisfied.
After spending three days and dealing with post-war matters, Gao Shun only returned to Jixian with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's cavalry and his 3 junior cavalry; The rest of the soldiers and horses stayed in the military camp of Fanyang County, under the unified command of Li Qiang.
Assassin Shi Guo Xun and Taishou Liu Wei personally went out of the city to greet him.
They are now grateful to Gao Shun, if it weren't for Gao Shun, they would definitely be like many Taishou in Jizhou, more than lucky.
Guo Xun was very satisfied with Gao Shun's arrangement, and the army was stationed at the border of Fanyang County to prevent the Yellow Turban thieves from entering the country and causing chaos; brought back more than 1,000 cavalry to garrison the military camp outside Jixian County to ensure that Jixian County was safe; If the alien race invades, it can come from Zhuo County in time to support.
In the next few days, the big families of Guangyang County and Zhuo County continued to come to the army, and Gao Shun did not refuse to come, and all of them were warmly received, which won unanimous praise from everyone.
During this period, the Taishou Yang Zhong of Liaoxi County and Liu Zheng, the Taishou of Youbeiping County, came to visit together, hoping that the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion could garrison an army at the junction of Youbeiping County and Liaoxi County to assist them in defending against the Wuhuan people; Recently, the Wuhuan people have been extremely restless, which makes the two of them very worried.
Yang Zhong Taishou said: "Gao Junshi, Liaoxi County is long and narrow from east to west, the transportation is inconvenient, the Taishou Mansion is stationed in Yangle County, it is difficult to control the alien races in the western part of the county, they often make trouble, this is the jurisdiction of the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion." ”
They had already learned that the decision-making power of Shanggu County, Dai County and the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion was in the hands of Gao Shun, so they came directly to Gao Shun, and this great victory, Baoyou Prefecture was safe, which made them more confident in Gao Shun and others.
Gao Shun said: "Yang Taishou, without His Majesty's holy decree, we don't dare to station troops outside casually, otherwise Your Majesty will blame it, and we can't afford to wait for it." ”
Gao Shun really wanted to garrison troops in western Liaoning to better fight the Wuhuan people, but he didn't want to easily meet the requirements of these old fritters, and he had to fight for some practical benefits.
Taishou Liu Zheng said: "Gao Junshi, there are many Wuhuan people here, what is the crime when the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion should be under the jurisdiction of the Wuhuan Captain's Office?" ”
"There are not so many soldiers and horses in the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion, and now Your Majesty has stopped all the expenses of the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion, and Daijun and Shanggu County provide money and food, and these two counties are not rich, how many soldiers can they raise?"
The issue of money and food is the key to raising soldiers, and no one can avoid it.
The two old fellows thought to themselves, if their two counties were rich and had enough money and food, they would not need to beg you.
Liu Zheng said: "We personally contribute money to help the military division take the post of county commander of a county, can we?" ”
"Hehe, it will cost you a maximum of four million dollars to buy a border county order from Your Majesty; If you raise 1,000 cavalry, not counting the horses, armor, weapons, and other equipment, it will cost tens of millions of dollars every year, and if you want to garrison troops there, it will cost as little as 3,000 or as much as 5,000, which is a huge cost, which is not cost-effective. ”
The two knew that this was Gao Shun raising the price, and Tai Shouyang finally asked: "Gao Junshi, if I wait to report to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely agree to our plan, if we wait for a negotiation to solve it, it will not affect the friendship between us, what does the military advisor want, please feel free to put it forward, if it can be done, this official will never refuse." ”
Since he made a request, Gao Shun was not polite, so he said: "Haha, the two of you are too polite, to raise soldiers, it is nothing more than money, food, and stationing, as well as a reasonable name; First of all, if you recruit troops in the name of the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion and are stationed in your county, it is legally unreasonable, and there is no precedent for the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion to garrison troops in other places, so to recruit troops, each county must give a quota of a broken captain, you can mobilize the army 2 times a year, of course, you are not responsible for the invasion of foreign races, the two captains can be dealt with jointly, if the troops are not enough, the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion will provide a large army to support; Secondly, when it comes to money and food, my suggestion is that each county should provide 15 million dollars a year for military spending; In addition, each county shall provide a county seat to be stationed, and the county commander shall be appointed by the lieutenant of the county or by a person designated by me, so that you can easily mobilize these troops to carry out the affairs of the county; In the end, I can arrange 3,000 soldiers in each of the two counties, and the first batch will arrange 1,000 cavalry and 500 infantry in each county, and then recruit after stabilization. ”
The two guards carefully summed it up, the first one is no problem, a number of broken captains, they can be appointed at will; A county order is nothing, and it is very easy for them to do; The difficult thing is military spending, but the price proposed by Gao Shun is very reasonable, which makes it difficult for them to refute.
Liu Zheng said: "Gao Junshi, since we are gradually increasing the number of garrisons, my opinion is that for every 1,000 additional officers and soldiers, we will provide 5 million yuan for military expenses. ”
Gao Shun didn't just want to make money, he just wanted to get a reasonable name, so he said: "Hehe, since Liu Taishou proposed it, how can I not accept it?" Just do what Liu Taishou said; The two Taishou don't think that they have suffered a loss, the treatment of our army must be the same, you also know, these money and food will eventually return to your local area, I will also subsidize a large amount of money and food, behind each soldier is a family, and the profit is still the locals; My purpose is only to ensure the tranquility of the border, the Wuhuan people are divided, the Wuhuan in the upper valley is the most powerful, and the strength of the Wuhuan in the three eastern counties should not be underestimated, we join forces to stop the Wuhuan people's rebellion and restrict their development, which is beneficial to the country and the people. ”
The two of them were very happy, spending a small amount of money every year, nominally having a strong army to ensure their safety, and in the event of a major war, the Captain Huwu Huan's Mansion would provide assistance, which was very cost-effective for them.
Tai Shouyang finally asked: "Gao Junshi, what are the requirements for the county seat where you are stationed?" ”
Gao Shun thought for a while and said: "If you are in Beiping County, I suggest that you garrison Xu Wu County, guard Lulongdao (Xifengkou where the Qing army entered the customs in later generations), and protect the safety of the county seat of Tuyin; For Liaoxi County, I suggest that Lingzhi County or Feiru County be stationed to guard the endless road, so that the garrisons of the two counties can echo the east and west and support each other, and the Wuhuan people will have no way to make trouble; How about the two of you? ”
The two places selected by Gao Shun are Zunhua and Qian'an in later generations, and the geographical location is very important, from the geographical point of view, they are in the Zunhua Basin and the Qian'an Basin respectively, and holding these two places will block the enemy from Yanshan.
Taishou Liu Zheng was very satisfied with the garrison Xu Wu, so that he would not worry about security; For the garrison of Liaoxi County, Liu Zheng hoped that if he could garrison Lingzhi and guard Lulongdao from the east and west sides with the defenders of Xu Wu County, the defensive effect would be better, and it would be closer to the county's mound; And Yang Zhongtai hopes to be stationed in Feiru, closer to Wuzhong Road, and have a better defensive effect on Liaoxi.
In the end, he chose to be stationed in Xu Wu County and Feiru County.
Liu Zheng asked, "Who did the people who broke the captain choose?" ”
Gao Shun thought for a while and decided to send Zhang He to be stationed in Xu Wu County, assisted by Deng Mao, Zou Jing to be stationed in Feiru, and assisted by Cheng Zhi, so he said: "The county magistrate of Xu Wu County is Zhang He, a native of Hejian in Jizhou, and the county magistrate of Feiru County is Zou Jing, a native of Changsha, Jingzhou. ”
Gao Shun thought to himself, Feiru is located between Wujian Road and Lulong Road, and the location is more important, so he sent Zou Jing to be in charge, with the assistance of Cheng Zhi, it must be foolproof; And Xu Wu, who is stationed by Zhang He, is much lighter, so it should be regarded as a workout for him.
Zou Jing didn't have the opportunity to participate in the extermination of the Yellow Turban Army, he couldn't make meritorious contributions, and he wouldn't be able to become a candidate in the Northern Army in the future, so let him play his strengths well in Liaoxi, and he would definitely achieve better results in this life than in his previous life, and he would not be buried.
The two Taishou were very happy to achieve their goal, and promised to issue a letter of appointment to the captain of the school as soon as they returned, and to send someone to the capital to handle the county order.
Gao Shun promised that with the letter of appointment of the captain of the broken school, he would first settle in the two county towns and start recruiting troops.
