......**** received the kindness of Emperor Daxing, and was able to seal Yanqing, and he lived in a prominent place, and he did not dare to descend. Since the change of Qingtai, Zhuxia usurped the chaos, the Shatuo thief Shi led the Khitan Hulu to the south, cut the thistle to the emperor, and then made the three generations of relics, all from the left, the ancestral hometown, all stained, to the humiliation of the Liao lord crossing the river and knocking on the capital. Today, the plug of the wild goose and clouds is like a void, and the danger of Yanyin is bound to belong to the enemy country. Liangdu looks north, Pingchuan thousands of miles, Huma peeps south, the door is open, there is more Shatuo Liu, usurpation of the name, Mu monkey and crown, according to the east of the river to look at the Central Plains. Emperor Daxing is holding the country with benevolence, thinking of the righteousness of his servants and servants, indulging in his blood and food, the virtue of the first emperor, and then Xiaoxiao is cowardly with benevolence, and regards Pi as a lamb. Today, the emperor is great, His Majesty's heir, the country is in mourning, the court is filial piety, and the usurper may think that he has the opportunity to act wantonly. Juzhen Guanzhong, northwest of the domain, the duty of the north of the choke, should be blocked to the south, so the line of Muzhou County, the order of the army, must be rectified government affairs, serious battalions, rent grain and straw, Huanjia to the east. If the thief can guard the female, then slow down; If the enemy wants to relax, **** should be restrained by the armor, watch the troops in Jinyang, capture the usurper father and son and dedicate it to His Majesty, in order to report the emperor's knowledge, Your Majesty's grace ......"

"Captain is crazy......"

This is Chen Su's first reaction after seeing the mourning seal prepared by Han Wei for Li ****.

When the old emperor died, he wrote a letter to express his condolences to the imperial court, which was originally the duty of the local feudal town, but the envoy of the Eighth Route Army was the only one. When such an old emperor was newly mourned and the new monarch succeeded to the establishment of the country, Li Taiwei, as the first feudal domain in the northwest, not only did not make his allegiance to the new emperor as usual, but showed a bright knife to scare people, and if it was not the intention of winning the championship, it was really burned out of his head.

"This seal...... It's been in my hands for three days......" Han Wei shook his head lightly and sighed.

Chen Su rubbed the Taixue and glanced at her husband sympathetically, sandwiched between the Yanzhou region and the imperial court, it was really difficult for the Han family to do something as an intermediary.

"The new monarch is not as good as the first emperor, and the imperial court will turn its face according to the Xijun Tu Wang's hegemony, but sooner or later, Han Lang has to make plans early!" Chen Su's tone was flat, but his words were not shocking, and he hit Han Wei's heart with a word.

"It's easier said than done, so I just want to get out, will the captain allow it?" Han Wei smiled bitterly.

"It's not easy to get out, but can't Han Lang do it by dividing his authority?" Chen Su looked at her husband and said softly.

Han Wei was stunned, he turned his head to look at his wife, his mind was spinning rapidly.

I am now in control of the earth. What is there that can be divided or should be set out? Pedestrians join the military, and the power of local diplomacy is in their own hands. The reason why Li **** used himself was originally because of his identity, family background and broad communication. In the Yanzhou system, I am afraid that no one will be able to take over in the short term, not to mention Li ****, I am afraid that he will immediately think that he is not optimistic about the prospects of other places. There is no value in separating from the lord and detaching himself from the king; Created by himself, Zhaowen joined the army. Now it is Zhou Maosheng who has been presiding over himself for a few months, but he doesn't ask about this aspect of affairs. This piece of power has actually been ceded; Then the rest of the ground. Only the power of foreign intelligence is still in its own hands.

At present, Li **** is in the military and political system. There is no system for collecting and analyzing foreign intelligence on the whole territory. This piece is almost included in the function of pedestrians joining the army. Chen Su said "self-separation of authority". It is also clearly referring to this. The diplomat doubled as a spy chief. This has been a local practice since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. But this power is also really too sensitive. For a person of his own identity. It's fine in normal times. This kind of inside and outside moments. This power is a little hot.

“…… Self-separation of authority is indeed a good idea. It's just that it takes a lot of trouble to distribute it to whom. He is currently in the military meeting. Zhou is a newcomer. Captain Zhang is a martial artist. None of them fit. It stands to reason that the lady's record is just right to join the army and take over. However, the husband and wife are enemies. Let it be like not let ......" said here. Chen Su shook his head slightly. Han Wei stopped. Gently looking at his wife.

"There are two people who choose ......," Chen Su stretched out two fingers.

"Please try it...... lady" Han Wei couldn't help but be curious.

"Cui Qufei. Luo Yiniang ......" Chen Su gently spit out two names.

……

Cui Bao has been transferred from Yanzhou to be the secretary of the Eighth Route Army, in order to bring him over, Li **** and Qin Gu spent a lot of words, after all, now everything is waiting to be done, and the local government is also extremely short of officials to manage affairs, like Cui Bao, a veteran in Yanzhou, is naturally the object of competition among various departments and institutions.

Yanzhou Buzheng is engaged in the sixth grade, the secretary of the section is the seventh grade, and Yanzhou is the eighth route military government, so this transfer is difficult to say that it is a promotion, which has become one of the reasons why Qin Gu opposes this transfer, as a result, Li **** appointed Cui Bao at the same time as the appointment of the secretary of the cloth and the eighth route army, Ziren Yuan, this is a civilian position in the army of the sixth grade, and there is no full-time office in peacetime, but in his spare time he talks about Confucian classics for the officers and cadets of the Liutao Pavilion. Internally, he is responsible for convening and arranging the schedule of meetings for joining the army, and externally it is independent of the study room of the two military and political departments, so it is very suitable to concurrently serve as a civilian in the army.

Because of this, Cui Bao was able to become the only person in the Yanzhou civil official system who is qualified to attend the highest military meeting of the Eighth Route Army, which actually proves that this out-of-fashion family has become one of Li ****'s henchmen.

The document on the content of this meeting was drafted by Cui Bao himself under the dictation of Li ****.

Therefore, he is the keynote speaker at today's meeting.

“…… The military system of this army is created by Taiwei, which is not found in all towns in the world. This change is only a slight change under the original military system

Adapt to the needs of the expansion of the army. To sum up, the main points of this change are the establishment of a two-level system of association and town above the regimental level, with two to five regiments as one association and two associations as one town, one of which is also; Change the titles of the existing military chief officer and the chief officer of the supervising army, the military chief officer at the first level of the team is called the team leader, the chief officer of the supervising army is called the team supervisor, the military chief officer of the capital level is called the commander, the chief officer of the supervising army is called the commander, the supervising army is called the supervisor, the military chief officer at the regimental level is called the commander, the chief military officer of the supervising army is called the commander, the chief military officer of the supervising army is called the supervising army, the chief military officer of the supervising army is called the supervising army, the chief military officer of the town level is called the commander, and the chief military officer of the supervising army is called the supervising military envoy, and the other two are also; Under the regiment-level system, there is a Yu Hou Section and a Supervisor Section, one person for each section of the main book and a canonical history, and one person for each of the Yu Hou Cao and Cao Cao, a supervisor for the supervisor and one person for each of them, and a Yu Hou Division, a Supervisor Division, and a Xiang Bing Division under the town-level system. Within two months from now on, preparations will be made for the establishment of the new army in Yanqing and Lingxia towns, with Yan'an County as the headquarters of Yanqing Town, Fenglin County as the station of the Left Association of Yanqing Town, Huai'an County of Qingzhou as the station of the Right Association of Yanqing Town, Changze County of Xia Prefecture as the station of the Left Association of Lingxia Town, Wenchi of Lingzhou as the headquarters of Lingxia Town, and Lanchi County of Lingzhou as the headquarters of Lingxia Town, and the number of three cavalry regiments of Yan'an, Fushi, Fenglin, Jinming, Yanchang, Yanshui, Yanchuan, Linzhen, Jincheng, and Ten Infantry Regiments of Yanqing, Huai'an, and Luoyuan will be awarded; The four infantry regiments of Changze, Ningshuo, Lingwu and Lanchi in Lingxia Town were awarded, and the two cavalry regiments of Huaiyuan and Dingyuan were ordered to be Shen Junting as the commander and military supervisor of Lingxia Town, and He Lishan was appointed as the deputy mission of Lingxia Town's supervisory army Jinghai was appointed as the left commander of Lingxia Town, and Di Huaiwei was appointed as the right commander of Lingxia Town, Kang Zhengyu was appointed as Yuhou Shilangzhong of Lingxia Town, and He Lishan was appointed as the commander of Lingxia Town and Xiangbing Shilangzhong; The commander of Yanqing Town was concurrently served by the Taiwei, and the military envoy of Yanqing Town was concurrently served by General Wei Wenqian, and General Zhi Yuqing was appointed as the left commander of Yanqing Town, Liang Xuan was appointed as the right commander, Ling Pu was appointed as Yuhou Shilang of Yanqing Town, Yang Li was appointed as the supervisor of Yanqing Town, and Liu Heng was appointed as the ...... of Yanqing Town.

He took the manuscript and read it carefully, and the generals present could understand that this was a package of army expansion plans, and Qin Haoran's strategy of building the infantry of the 17th Regiment of the Two Towns was not only fully accepted in this plan, but even expanded, according to this plan, after filling up the establishment, the Eighth Route Army will have a combat strength of 19 regiments, which is still in the case that the corresponding van troops are not counted.

After reading this plan, Cui Bao took out a promotion order written by Li **** himself, promoting the Eighth Route Army Sima and Duxiang Soldier Zhou Zhengyu to be the Yunlu General from the third grade, and the Eighth Route Army to the capital supervisor of the Eighth Route Army and the Yanqing Town Supervisor Wei Xun to the Zhongwu General is the fourth grade, and the Eighth Route Army Duyu Marquis and Lingxia Town Commander Shen Chen is the Zhongwu General is the fourth grade, and the Yanqing Town Zuo Ti Zhi Zhi Yu Qing is the fifth rank of the Ning Yuan general, and the right of Yanqing Town is promoted to the guerrilla general from the fifth grade, promoted Yanqing Town Yu Hou Lang Zhong Ling Pu to the guerrilla general from the five ranks, promoted Yanqing Town Supervisor Lang Zhong Yang Li to the ranger general from the five ranks, and promoted Yanqing Town Xiang Bing Lang Zhong Liu Heng to Zhaowu Captain Zheng Liupin; Promote Lingxia Town Left Ti Zhi Jing Hai to Zhaowu Captain Zheng Liupin, Promote Lingxia Town Right Ti Di Huaiwei to Zhaowu Captain Zheng Liupin, and Promote Lingxia Town Yu Hou Lang Zhongkang Stone to Zhaowu Captain Zheng Liupin.

The personnel involved in this promotion order are all officers at or above the regimental level, and the appointment and promotion of officers below the regimental level have been under the control of the Eighth Route Army Metropolitan Supervision Department since this time.

This is the third military reform carried out since Li **** presided over the military affairs of Yanzhou, and it is also the most thorough, and this reform has completely determined the core position of the town-level military unit as the strategic corps. Another important result of this reform is the establishment of a relatively supporting military region reserve system, with regimental training offices (battalion level) set up in county-level administrative units, regimental training offices (regimental level) in prefecture-level administrative units, and a town guard office (co-level) in the two prefectures, and each town guard office is responsible to the reserve military department under the Eighth Route Army's Sima Shufang.

In this reform, Li **** finally established the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army completely, and the Eighth Route Army Jiedu Mansion consisted of three units: Sima Study, Duyu Hou Division, and Du Jian Military Division. Sima Shufang has four functional divisions under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Ordnance Division, the Military Industry Division, the Reserve Military Division, and the Military Division, while the Duyu Marquis Division has set up three military divisions, namely the Cavalry Command Division, the Naval Army Command Division, and the Artillery Command Division, as well as the five functional divisions of the Operations Research Division, the Military Essentials Division, the General Order Division, the Drill Division, and the Military Affairs Division, which is already a veritable General Staff Department; The Military Department of the Metropolitan Supervision has five functional divisions: the Military Selection Division, the Examination Division, the Teaching Division, the Su Health Division, and the Military Justice Division.

After this reform, the Eighth Route Army has formed a four-level organ system from bottom to top, including section, Cao, division, and capital division, and has also formed a three-level reserve system of department, department, and government at the local level.

After all the terms of change were said and stepped aside, Li **** stood up and cleared his throat, and said with a slight smile: "A few months ago, when Xiao Qin decided this strategy of expanding the army, I thought it was crazy, but I didn't want to make it myself now, and I was even more crazy than him......"

He paused, no one laughed inside, he turned around himself, and then slowly spoke: "Counting the fine seals, they now not only have the territory of six states, but also have a vast strategic maneuver space and a stable and fertile agricultural base, in the past few months, the displaced people and the permanent population of Guanzhong have poured into our territory like crazy, and now the total population on our territory has reached nearly 800,000 Of course, Lingzhou has not been completely taken down, this piece is an ambush, 700,000 is always there, With such a population base, with our current financial resources, we can barely support 350,000 soldiers, and we still have to rely on imports for grain

The price of grain in the east of the grain has skyrocketed, and the imperial court has long been impatient, and the Zhongjing has come to the third division again and again, asking us to collect our deeds for a while......"

Speaking of this, he involuntarily rubbed his eyes.

For this problem, he has been holding meetings for several days and nights without sleep, grain is the foundation of the agricultural era, the people take food as the sky, and he is engaged in the great industrial leap forward in the northwest, if there is not enough grain imports to support, it will not be possible to liberate the productive forces from the land as much as possible, even if Lingzhou is won in the near future, it will be difficult to stabilize without enough grain. After two years of large-scale grain purchases, and also after the first batch of harvests in the autumn of the third year of Guangshun, he now has a little inventory on hand, so although the territory has expanded to more than 20 times the original in a thought, his grain reserves are still far from being stretched, and the people in the prefectures under his command are the richest in terms of living conditions, which is also the fundamental reason for the large influx of people from other places into the Yanqing area. Of course, this result is based on the excessive export of grain in the Huainan production area, and many people in the Huainan area have starved to death this winter, which means that the grain production efficiency of this world's granary will be greatly reduced next year.

For a few people starving to death on other people's territory, Li **** originally didn't care, although he always upheld the ideal, but he has not yet disregarded the reality for the ideal, but once the Huainan grain-producing area is finished, and he has no new food source, then there is only one hope left in the Saibei Hetao, which is too dangerous in the near future. Therefore, he convened several meetings on the issue of Huainan and seriously discussed this issue.

The person who finally solved this problem was Chen Zhe, who put forward two main points, the first is to move the destination of the food source to the south, and go over the Zhou court and the Southern Tang Dynasty Wu Yue to do business, Jiangnan is not as tragic as the Central Plains was poisoned by war, and there is still a certain food potential. Of course, in order to transport the rice from the south back to Yanzhou in the northwest with great fanfare, it is necessary to take the waterway, which also means that there is no secret at all, and it would be strange if the imperial court could sit idly by, so the second point put forward by Chen Zhe is that the grain purchased from the south is not transported to the north, but sold across the river, and the rice obtained from the south of the Yangtze River is sold in Huainan, on the one hand, it can stabilize the grain price in Huainan, and on the other hand, it can also restore the productivity of Huainan, so that farmers can survive this year's green and yellow period; As for the other aspect, it will not arouse the arms of the imperial court, the grain came in from the Southern Tang Dynasty and was digested in the hinterland of the Great Zhou, which no one can blame on the head of Li Taiwei, who is far away in the northwest, and Li Taiwei can just take advantage of the small difference in the price of this grain to moderately recover part of the copper money consumed in Huainan in the past two years because of buying grain. In this way, the wonderful idea of "sustainable exhibition" can be achieved, and Chen Zhe can think of it.

Of course, there are side effects, first, from now on, the price of grain in Jiangnan will also dance with the pace of Li Taiwei in the northwest, and second, the people of Huainan will inevitably change from eating millet and wheat noodles to Jiangnan rice, and whether they are used to eating or not is not something that Warlord Li needs to consider.

Of course, to buy grain from Jiangnan to fill the famine in Huai, it is inevitable to pay a sum of yellow copper coins in advance, the Eighth Road Money Village was opened less than half a year, and now the semicolon has been opened to Wu Yue's side, General Li waved his pen, and used the name of the military town as a mortgage to directly transfer copper money from the Jiangnan branch to buy grain, and then backfill the funds after the grain is sold.

Of course, there are also dislikes, the price of grain in Jiangnan is floating, and the people of Wuyue in the Southern Tang Dynasty are naturally not having a good time, but fortunately, Li **** is not the minister of Wu Yue in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and there is no need for birds in the two southern courts, and secondly, with the large and ** degree of the Southern Tang monarchs and ministers, I am afraid that even if the people rise up to rebel in the end, they still can't figure out the relationship between this matter and Li ****......

Li **** is determined to make a big leap forward in the northwest.

"Stockpiling grain and expanding the army is not a joke, there is an imminent danger, and I am not so anxious. At present, the recruits who have undergone intensive training in Yanzhou are 8 battalions of 4,000 people, 10 full regimental training battalions of 3,000 people in 10 counties of Yanzhou, 900 people in the 3rd battalion of Li Hu in Gyeongju, 600 people in the 2 battalions of Lu Xun in Youzhou, five battalions of regimental training in Xiazhou before and after Jinghai, and three of them were used to form the Fenglin Regiment in Lingzhou, and now there are two left, nearly 600 people, adding up to 9,000 recruits, and we will organize these 9,000 recruits into nine infantry regiments within a month. In this way, with the addition of our original six infantry regiments, the total strength of our army will reach 15 infantry regiments, and the tribal rangers that have been collected in the Hetao area are now being reorganized and trained, and they will be able to form an army in about two months, and at that time we will have four and a half cavalry regiments plus one and a half infantry regiments in the Hetao area, with a total strength of 6,000 cavalry, and the cavalry strength of our army will reach five regiments. The Lingzhou military report came two days ago, Shen Chen and they defeated the main force of the Feng family in the south of Qingtongxia on the west bank of the river half a month ago, but I gave him a strict order, the current situation does not allow us to slowly soak mushrooms with Feng Jiye, at the latest by the end of January, the Yan Ling Division must clear the enemy of Lingzhou, I don't care if Feng Jiye is dead or alive, what I want is this place in Lingzhou. By the end of February at the latest, Shen Junting must prop up the shelves in Lingxia Town for me......"

He said so much in one breath, but none of the generals present raised any objections, as if this extremely crazy plan formulated by their commander was a matter of course.

Li **** glanced at everyone again, and said softly: "The army can't be raised, don't say it's lazy to raise it, we will lose money one day, and the army is used to seek economic benefits, so after the two-month reorganization period, we have to prepare for war......"
