After reporting on Zhao Yun's whereabouts, Hao Meng glanced at the generals under his seat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info From their faces and eyes, Hao Meng read the anticipation and joy.

Since the lord summoned them to discuss the military, it can't be that they have discussed the family, right?

"Meteor showers are gradually decreasing, and monster bandits are no longer a big problem for us."

"Therefore, the focus of our general's mansion needs to be adjusted next."

However, the so-called soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first. Long Shi Mizhu, how are our grain and grass reserves? ”

Hao Meng sat on the main seat and said, and there were several maps on the desk in front of him.

However, at this time, when all the generals in the hall heard this, they were all suddenly overjoyed, but they only showed their faces, but they did not say anything with joy in the end.

Mi Zhu got up when he heard this, as if he had been prepared, and answered the lord's question eloquently.

"My lord, generals, after the summer harvest this year, plus the surplus military rations after the Spring War, my general's mansion currently has 2.28 million stone of grain and grass in stock. Among them, only 280,000 stones are stored in the treasury of Jinan City, and the other 2 million stones of grain and grass are mostly stored in the frontier warehouses for emergencies. ”

More than 2 million stone of military rations, if there is a big war, it can last for more than three months.

Therefore, all the generals breathed a sigh of relief, and there were many glances between each other.

Mi Zhu did not sit down, but continued: "Now the autumn harvest is the time. ”

"Our general's mansion ruled the four states, and in the past three months of the demon bandits, the disaster was not great. Therefore, after the autumn harvest, Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Yuzhou can get about 3 million stone in taxes. As for Qingzhou, the lord originally implemented tun reclamation, so Qingzhou paid more than 8 million stone of grain and grass to our general's mansion. ”

As soon as Mi Zhu's words fell, most of the generals in the hall were overjoyed, and even muttered to each other: "This is more than 13 million stones of grain and grass!" ”

Hao Meng's general's mansion implemented the separation of military and government, and civilian officials such as Mi Zhu and Cai Yong presided over the government affairs of the general's mansion; The generals of the General's Mansion presided over the affairs of the army and led the troops of the counties and counties of the four states.

Even in a military town like Wancheng, although it is long in the management of generals, it is not allowed to interfere with civilian officials in governing the county.

Therefore, the generals attending the meeting can roughly know how many soldiers are under the command of the General's Mansion, but they do not know how much grain and grass there is in the General's Mansion. Without food and grass, even if the generals wanted to start a big war, they could only think about it.

……

Hao Meng was somewhat surprised.

Originally, Hao Meng estimated based on this news that after his autumn harvest, he would have at most tens of millions of stones and grains and grass in his hands. However, the data given by Mi Zhu is more than 13 million stones, which is more than 3 million stones of grain and grass.

It must be known that in the battle of Guandu in later generations, the grain and grass prepared by Yuan Shao were only between three and five million stones!

With more than 13 million stones, grains and grass, it was enough for him Hao Meng's 500,000 army to fight a bloody battle for more than a year and a half. In this way, bulldozing Jiangdong is naturally not a problem, maybe you can cast a net to catch fish, maybe you can catch another big fish!

It is no wonder that the generals are happy, and even Hao Meng is very happy.

After reporting on the grain and grass reserves, Mi Zhu did not return to his seat, but continued: "At present, the soldiers under the command of the generals are fully armed, which is enough for a big war. In addition, there are nearly 100,000 sets of armor and weapons stored in the treasury for consumption and replenishment in the war. ”

"In the next few months, the artisan battalion under the General's Mansion can still build nearly 100,000 sets of armor and weapons."

With Mi Zhu's explanation, the main general of the hall realized at this time that unconsciously, the general's mansion was already full of food and grass, and the armor and weapons were also complete, so the only thing left was the big war.

……

After the voices of everyone in the hall subsided, Hao Meng asked the old man beside him: "Father-in-law, what is the current strength of our army?" ”

In terms of military affairs, the generals have always been in charge of their departments and the areas they defend, and then they are responsible for summarizing to the General's Mansion in Jinan City, that is, finally summarizing Hao Meng's desk.

But some time ago, Hao Meng was "traveling" to various states and counties in the world, and the military affairs were temporarily taken over by his father-in-law Cai Yong.

At present, in the Hussar General's Mansion, only the old man Cai Yong has this ability and qualifications.

Zhou Yu has this ability. But the problem was that he was only sixteen or seventeen years old at this time, and he was not recognized by the generals of the Great General's Palace, no matter how capable he was, it was impossible for him to take charge of military affairs.

Cai Yong didn't even need the recorded bamboo slips, and said directly: "My general's mansion currently has 560,000 soldiers. ”

Among them, there are more than 156,000 patrol battalions. Six of the 70,000 standing patrol battalions in each county and county will be prepared, and the remaining 80,000 or so will be prepared in the future. ”

As early as Langya County, Hao Meng distinguished the standing soldiers from the army that maintained law and order on a daily basis. In non-war zones or on the front line, the defense of county law and order is generally entrusted to the patrol battalion.

Each county in Qingzhou is responsible for a patrol battalion of 500 people. In Yanzhou, Xuzhou and other counties in the hinterland of the Central Plains, there are mostly 50 people in one team, or 100 people in two teams, but there is a patrol battalion in the county town to prevent bandits.

……

"The new barracks is presided over by Mi Zifang. At present, the total number of recruits in the counties and counties is more than 250,000. The training of recruits has been completed and can be supplemented under the command of the generals of the various ministries. ”

This is another strategy by Hao Meng to limit the self-respect of the generals in the army.

In each of the four states under the rule of the General's Office, there was a recruit battalion of 500 people.

After the new recruits are full, most of them are taught by disabled veterans; In addition to training on weekdays, recruits can also assist the county's patrol battalion in defense. After the recruits pass the training, they will be added to the commanders of the colonels.

All the generals in the general's mansion, except for Mi Fang, who presides over the recruitment work, other generals and colonels are not allowed to recruit soldiers without authorization!

"The remaining 150,000 are the elite of our army, all veterans who have experienced several major wars."

All the generals and colonels attending the meeting know this.

These 150,000 elites are stationed in four places: Wancheng, Zhongli City, Dongjun, and the camp outside Jinan.

Among them, Wancheng is the top priority, garrisoned by Guan Hai; There are two infantry troops and two elite cavalry garrisons. This is not only to guard against and deter Cao Cao, but also to make Jingzhou Liu Biao dare not move lightly.

Zhongli City, led by Xu Rong. Previously, it was an outpost to defend Koto, but now it is a forward base for advancing into Koto.

The last time Hao Meng "traveled" to Jiangdong, he went to Zhongli City to explain several things to Xu Rong, one of which was to ask Xu Rong to pass a warrant to the General's Mansion in Jinan City, so that the General's Mansion would increase troops and food to Zhongli City.

At this time, Zhongli City already had an army of sixty or seventy thousand, but the increase in troops was still continuing.

The remaining tens of thousands of elites usually stay in the camp outside Jinan. This is not only the capital of Gong Wei Hao Meng, but also when there is a wind and grass, it is not too far to increase troops around.
