Wang Zhengjian thought for a while, and said to Zhao Ziliang: "The post of the military envoy of the capital protection does need to be appointed by the imperial court, but the official still has the right to appoint the military envoy of the first army, and the old general Yan Sheng, the military envoy of the Han Navy, came to tell the official that he was old and wanted to return to his hometown to retire for the rest of his life, and the official saw that the old general Yan Sheng was indeed older, and he was in his seventies, and it was time for him to return to his hometown for the elderly, and the post of the Han Navy envoy would be up to you!" ”

Zhao Ziliang hurriedly said: "Marshal, it is too fast to be promoted from the position of a guard to a military envoy・・・・・・

Wang Zhengjian said: "Your student An Sishun has become the envoy of the Hexi Festival, and Ge Shuhan has become the deputy envoy of the Longyou Festival, if you are not demoted on the spot, I am afraid that you will already be the envoy of the town festival, right?" Okay, this matter is decided, this is the appointment of this official, it's not that you can't do it if you don't want to do it! The appointment of this official will be issued in a few days, you better go back and make some preparations, and after you leave, Xilin will be captured and envoyed, who do you think is the most suitable person to take office? ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "Xilin Guarding is close to the Five Bases Land Department and Gelulu, and the Moon Department and the Secret Department are also nearby, as the Xilin Guard, you must have force and courage, and you must know how to deal with the relationship between the various departments. ”

The geographical location of Xilin's capture is extremely important, Wang Zhengjian knows this very well, so he didn't think about arranging someone to replace Zhao Ziliang, and Zhao Ziliang recommended the candidate is the safest and most suitable. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"In that case, the appointment to Brehan will also be sent with your appointment!"

After Zhao Ziliang returned to Xilin to guard and capture, he immediately summoned the officials and generals of the Capture Mansion to announce the meaning of the new Jiedu envoy Wang Zhengjian, and all the officials and generals were overjoyed and congratulated Zhao Ziliang.

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "General Ben went to the Han Navy to take office this time, and he wanted to bring a few people, but this Xilin guard could not be captured without officials and generals to assist Brehan, Liu Wei, Dugujun, Wang Can, Chen Qing, and Gong Ren went to the Han Navy with me, and the others stayed to assist Brehan!" Zhao Hu also stayed, as the marching Sima! This Xilin guards our lair in the Western Regions, and all our belongings are here, so we must not lose anything! ”

Everyone said in unison: "No! ”

On December 15, Zhao Ziliang took his family and the 18 cavalry of the Whirlwind and 300 personal guards to the Han Navy, accompanied by Liu Wei, Dugujun, Wang Can, Chen Qing and Gong Ren.

The Han Navy is the largest military town under the jurisdiction of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, with a total of 12,000 men and horses, while the Tianshan Army and the Yiwu Army are only about 3,000 people, which is far inferior to the current Xilin Garrison in terms of troops.

Most of the lieutenant colonels of the Han Navy are people left behind by Yao and Gai Jiayun in the past, Zhao Ziliang knows that these people may cooperate after he takes office and act according to his orders, but it is absolutely impossible to have the same heart with him, and among these people, there are good and bad, there are high and low, there are noble and inferior people, if you want to fully control the Han Navy, Zhao Ziliang believes that this matter must also be considered in the long run.

After Zhao Ziliang took office in the Han Navy, everything was as usual in personnel for the time being, but he carried out vigorous and resolute rectification in the implementation of military regulations and military discipline and military training, and Zhao Ziliang only set up a new inspection bureau under the jurisdiction of the Military Justice Department, which was responsible for inspecting the military discipline of officials, generals, and soldiers in various battalions and various yamen of the military embassy.

The establishment of the Han Naval Inspection Office seems to be under the jurisdiction of the Military Judge Advocate General's Department, but Gong Ren was directly appointed by Zhao Ziliang, and he is only responsible to Zhao Ziliang, so the Inspection Office has completely become an independent department, which has almost snatched the authority of the Military Judge Advocate General's Department and hollowed out the Military Judge Advocate General's Department. The Judge Advocate Advocate General's Department was originally a department that offended people, and was never treated well in the army, but they were also happy to be idle, and the Inspection Office went to offend people.

The reason why Zhao Ziliang did not directly remove the people from the Military Judge Advocate Advocate General's Department and replaced them with Gong Ren and others was, on the one hand, the chief officer of the Military Judge Advocate General's Department was the person who was left behind by Lai Yao, and on the other hand, there was not enough reason to arbitrarily remove officials and generals, which would leave people with a false pretense and would make people unconvinced, and it would easily cause panic among the lieutenant generals and colonels in the army, which was not conducive to unity and stability.

There are many ways to fight political opponents in political struggles, but the only most effective, safest, and convincing way for everyone is to take advantage of the opponent's illegal behavior and attack according to the law, which will not cause panic in society, nor will it cause panic among officials and lieutenant colonels. If you take someone down for no reason, who will be convinced? It is strange that people do not resist, and even if they attack each other, they must find an excuse to arouse the hatred of the soldiers in their own army.

If you want to control this Han Navy, in addition to taking advantage of the opportunity of rectifying military discipline to take down some people and replace them with some of your own people, you can also transfer some people from the positions of real power and the positions of the commanders of each battalion, these people have no disciplinary facts, and there may be some people whose talents are still very good, but they are not with Zhao Ziliang, so they are also listed as candidates for transfer, but this can not be in a hurry at every step, and they can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and suddenly a large-scale exchange of blood in the army is easy to have an accident, Zhao Ziliang has been in charge of the army for a long time, and he has a deep understanding of this, Therefore, he was unhurried and tepid in every step, and everyone in the army did not realize that he had slowly completed his control of the Han Navy in the face of a major blood change.

In May of the seventh year of Tianbao (748 AD), Zhao Ziliang not only completed the complete control of the Han Navy, but also carried out a comprehensive transformation of the Han Navy, most of the main generals in the army were replaced by his own people, and at the same time, the lower low-level officers were also selected through military competition among the soldiers, these people were promoted from the system of selection based on ability implemented by Zhao Ziliang, so they supported Zhao Ziliang's command very much.

Zhao Ziliang's comprehensive transformation of the Han Navy involved many aspects, not only to carry out comprehensive changes in operational tactics, but also to carry out a new indoctrination of generals, officers, and soldiers in terms of tactics and ideology, and at the same time, to carry out focused special training on the combat skills and coordination and cooperation of the soldiers, to delete some useless combat actions and tactics in the past, and to train new combat tactical movements and tactics of coordinated operations.

Not only that, the Han Navy was updated by Zhao Ziliang's equipment, and some adjustments were made to the troops, first of all, the establishment of heavy cavalry was added, the Han Navy had a total of 12,000 people, and Zhao Ziliang's idea was to be equipped with 3,000 heavy cavalry, 5,000 light cavalry and 4,000 infantry.

With the exception of the heavy cavalry, which was not armed with bows and arrows, the light cavalry and all infantry were equipped with mounted bows or infantry bows.

The heavy cavalry are all wearing heavy armor, equipped with a four-meter-long spear and a horizontal knife, the spear is used for the first round of charging formation, and when it turns around and rushes back, it uses a horizontal knife to chop, and if the heavy cavalry is surrounded and loses its mobility, it can also discard the long-term use of the horizontal knife to chop and fight, so as not to lose its mobility like the Byzantine heavy cavalry can only be slaughtered. The Tang Dynasty army also had a small number of heavy cavalry, but the thickness of the armor was very limited, the horse armor only covered the body of the horse, and the war horse had no face armor, which was completely incomparable with the heavy cavalry formed by Zhao Ziliang this time.

In addition to the light cavalry equipped with bows and arrows, the knights were also equipped with light weight, hard cowhide armor, weapons were horizontal knives or ordinary spears and daggers, and the light cavalry equipped with horizontal knives and spears accounted for half each, each with different purposes. Light cavalry armed with horizontal knives can deal with enemy light infantry and light cavalry with short weapons after cavalry shooting, while light cavalry armed with spears can attack enemy light infantry and light cavalry with long weapons after cavalry shooting, and can also attack the opponent's light infantry and cavalry with short weapons.

In addition, Zhao Ziliang actually wanted to form an archery cavalry with cavalry as the main combat method, but when he thought that the current conditions were not yet ripe, he temporarily gave up this plan, and planned to wait for the light cavalry to have a complete structure and the army to mature in the future.

The infantry is divided into light infantry and heavy infantry, among the four thousand infantry, there are 1,000 heavy infantry and 3,000 light infantry, the heavy infantry is full of leather armor, and the weapon used is a long-handled Mo knife, armed to the asshole, that is, the Mo knife army, but there is no big shield.

Light infantry is divided into hooked and sicklemen, sword and shield soldiers, and long-handled axemen, in addition to long-handled axes, hooked and sicklemen and sword and shield soldiers are equipped with rifles and arrows, respectively equipped with light armor, hook and sickle, and horizontal knives.

Zhao Ziliang has been trying to form a class of heavily armored iron cavalry to deal with the enemy army for nearly half a year, and hook and sickle spearmen and long-handled axe soldiers have become his first choice. For the power of heavy cavalry, Zhao Ziliang has a deep understanding in the battle with Said, heavy infantry, light infantry, and light cavalry can't stop the charge of the heavy armored iron cavalry, I'm afraid even the Modao army can't stop it, after all, the heavy cavalry of the Great Food Army has thick armor, and the Modao may not be able to break through the solid defense of the armor on the other side.

In the era of cold weapons, there are very few types of troops that can fight against heavy cavalry, and there are very few combat tactics to deal with heavy cavalry, and heavy cavalry is a tank in the era of cold weapons. During the Song Dynasty, the Jin army's Iron Float was a heavy cavalry, and the Iron Harrier of Western Xia was also a heavy cavalry, and the Song soldiers were terrified when they saw these two armies, but then Yue Fei thought of a way to restrain the Iron Float and the Iron Harrier, that is, to use a hook sickle and a long-handled axe to specifically attack the horse legs of the Iron Float and the Iron Harrier, and the knights and war horses of the Iron Float and the Iron Harrier were all wrapped in thick iron armor, but the horse legs were exposed, and ordinary weapons could not break the armor's defense at all, and cutting off the horse legs was the only choice for the Yue family's army, These two weapons were used by Yue Fei to use specific tactics to inflict great damage on the Jin Army's Tiefutu, causing the Jin Army's Tiefutu to suffer heavy losses.
