Chapter 278: It's Back
In 189 AD, Liu Hong died, Dong Zhuo changed Liu Hong's edict and renamed Liu Xie as the emperor, which was the first year of the first peace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the second year of the first peace, in September, the 15th Route Coalition Army attacked Dong Zhuo. In November of that year, Dong Zhuo was defeated, and the fifteenth route coalition army, except for Tao Qian, was killed in battle, and the rest were scattered.
In the third year of the first peace and the fourth year of the first peace, during these two years, the entire Han Dynasty was a miasma, chaotic, and the princes everywhere were constantly strife. Among them, there are only two places that are the most stable, one is Cao Cao's Luoyang area, and the other is Cao De's Yizhou.
In the past two years, because of the continuous disputes throughout the country, the people have no heart to farm, and the rain in the Han Dynasty has been less in the past two years, and food is even more scarce. This eventually led to a massive migration of refugees.
The targets of their migration were Cao Cao's Luoyang region and Cao De's Yizhou. Cao Cao's situation, Cao De didn't go to statistics, but Cao De, a refugee who poured into Yizhou, knew it clearly, more than 500,000.
There are more than 500,000 people, which is almost comparable to the last two Hanzhong counties. Yizhou already has a population of more than 6 million, and now, with this group of displaced people, it has exceeded the 7 million mark in one fell swoop.
And Yizhou is even more orderly under the governance of Jia Xu, Xun Yu and Gu Yong. Among them, Xun Yu took the position of state driver, and Gu Yong became a state driver. As for Jia Xu, Cao De appointed Jia Xu as the history of the assassin.
This is quite special, the responsibilities of the state pastor and the assassin are almost the same according to the official positions of the Han Dynasty, and the difference is that one has military power and the other does not have military power. Cao De's purpose in appointing Jia Xu as the history of the assassination was to let Jia Xu have the right to supervise the history of the assassination and govern the entire Yizhou instead of himself, and Cao De also gave Jia Xu his own ring head sword. Jia Xu can hold this ring-headed broadsword and mobilize the soldiers and horses of the whole state.
That's absolute trust. Jia Xu No matter whether Cao De is in Yizhou or not, as long as he finds that any official is suspected of bending the law for personal gain, Jia Xu can take Cao De's ring head knife and cut it first and then play. Moreover, even if there is a war, Jia Xu can use this ring-headed broadsword to directly go to the barracks to mobilize the army.
Jia Xu has this qualification, and Cao De also knows Jia Xu, and Cao De believes that Jia Xu will not abuse his power.
Since Cao De gave Jia Xu such a big right. Therefore, Cao De completely let go of government affairs to Jia Xu. Moreover, although Jia Xu has the Shang Fang sword, Jia Xu also knows that except when Cao De is not in Yizhou, he will not take out the Shang Fang sword that Cao De gave him.
And in terms of the army, Cao De carried out a reform.
Due to the addition of Lu Bu and the upcoming return of Ma Chao, Cao De began to ponder the number of the troops for them. At first, Cao De continued to line down according to the zodiac, but after Cao De just wrote down the snake riding and the afternoon horse riding on the table, Ren Hongchang came to find Cao De. Therefore, Cao De threw down the pen and went to the backyard with Ren Hongchang.
Before Cao De came back, Cao Fan, who was about to hand in his homework, came, Cao Fan saw that there was no one in the study, so he boldly ran to the back of Cao De's desk, and happened to see Cao De's writing "Snake Riding and Afternoon Horse Riding." ”
Cao Fan stared at these two words, and suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, and just when Cao Fan touched his little head and thought hard, Cao De came back.
"Fan'er!" Cao De said sternly. Cao De has always been very strict with Cao Fan.
"Father!" Cao Fan hurriedly lowered his head and ran in front of Cao De.
"What are you looking at?" Cao De asked.
"Father is not going to expand the army?" Cao Fan raised his head and asked.
Nowadays, Yizhou's four horses, such as the Rat Rider and the Ugly Bull Rider, have long been famous, so Cao Fan knew what Cao De meant as soon as he saw the two numbers on Cao De's table.
Cao De nodded, Cao Fan pursed his lips, and said casually: "I really don't know what my father thinks, Uncle Zhao's world-famous iron knight actually uses the name of a mouse!" ”
"What did you say?" Cao De was suddenly stunned, as if he had grasped something in his heart.
When Cao Fan saw Cao De's reaction, he thought that he had said the wrong thing again, but Cao Fan had been taught by Cao De since he was sensible that since he dared to do it, he had to dare to do it, so Cao Fan whispered it again.
After Cao De heard this, he suddenly became enlightened, yes, that's it. No wonder I feel a little uncomfortable myself. It turns out that the problem is here.
Cao De happily kissed Cao Fan, and then found Jia Xu and Xu Shu.
As soon as the three of them met, Cao De said what he thought. Our current cavalry number is too undomineering. I think we're going to have to change it.
When Jia Xu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, he couldn't change it, now the name of our cavalry has been played, if he changes the number, it will damage the prestige of the army.
Cao De smiled, the military power is out, how can it be transmitted. Besides, if we change the number, and when we fight, the enemy does not know which unit is engaged with them, and will not we have the advantage before the war begins.
After Jia Xu and Xu Shu heard this, they thought about it carefully, and it seemed to make some sense.
So, three days later, a military order came out of the general's mansion, the Zirat Cavalry was renamed the Green Dragon Cavalry, the Ugly Bull Cavalry was renamed the White Tiger Cavalry, the Yinhu Cavalry was renamed the Vermilion Bird Cavalry, and the Chenlong Cavalry was renamed the Xuanwu Cavalry, and these four cavalry cavalry were all expanded to 20,000 people.
And along with this military order, there was also a reform order of Cao De.
And this reform Cao De directly changed the command mode of the army.
In terms of foundation, Cao De still follows the ancient system, with five people as a team and a team leader. Ten people set up chiefs, 100 people set up centurions, and 1,000 people set up commanders.
After that, the team of 5,000 people was a school, and there was a captain; The two schools are one battalion, and there is one general.
In this way, the supreme commander in the army is partial to the position of general.
For example, in the Ruijin Battalion of the Five Elements Battalion, the supreme commander of the Ruijin Battalion is no longer Cao Ren, but General Ruijin Biao, and there are two captains under the command of General Ruijin, the left lieutenant of Ruijin and the right lieutenant of Ruijin, and these two captains are each in charge of the 5,000 people of the Ruijin battalion.
At the time of the reform of the army, Cao De also transferred back all the generals who commanded the army and introduced his own military talisman system to them.
All the troops, except for Cao De, who can brush his face, you all have to use military talismans, and those who don't have military talismans to transfer troops, I'm sorry, even Cao Fan, will also be taken down by the soldiers in the army, and then sent to Cao De for questioning.
In this way, even if these generals under their command want to rebel, there will be no regular army available. In this way, wouldn't it be more fragrant when Cao De himself sleeps at night!
Now these generals under Cao De's command, the oldest is Lu Bu, but he is only in his thirties, and the current Cao De Group is actually just a commercial building that started earlier and made relatively fast progress, and they are still early away from becoming the leading boss of this industry, so the generals under Cao De have no much resistance to Cao De's military talisman system.
After Cao De announced the adoption of the military talisman system, Cao De immediately took out the military talisman of the Five Elements Battalion, "Zhou Cang, Ma Zhong, Zang Ba, Sha Moke!" ”
"The last general!" The four of them took a step out together.
"The four of you take Zhou Cang as the main general, and Mr. Wenhe is stationed in Yizhou!"
"No!" The four of them replied with their fists clasped in unison.
"Zhou Cang!"
"The subordinates are here!"
"If there is a war, we must focus on peace and civility!"
"Yes!"
"The rest of the generals, recuperate, when the time is ripe, let us set foot in the Central Plains!"
"Yes!" Everyone clenched their fists in unison and said.
Cao De's talisman also has particularities. And this particularity only exists in the Five Elements Camp and the Five Instruments Camp. The soldiers of these two battalions were divided into five battalions each. And Cao De's talisman is also composed of five small battalion talismans to form a large battalion talisman. If you pick one alone, you can mobilize 10,000 soldiers in any battalion, and if you group five, you can mobilize a large battalion of 50,000 troops!
Moreover, Cao De's talisman was placed in a lonely hut in the General's Mansion in Chengdu City. This hut, which was only three zhang long, two zhang wide, and two zhang high, was guarded by 600 soldiers from the main camp of the hammer in four shifts. And the six hundred soldiers were stationed around this hut.
So, there are one hundred and fifty standing guards and four hundred and fifty permanent guards.
And there are actually only two people who can enter this hut, one is Cao De who brushes his face, and the other is Jia Xu who brushes Cao De's ring head sword!
Cao De's reform and expansion of the army took nearly three months to complete. And then, there were four cavalry battalions that had just completed the expansion, and the training began immediately. And their training was also assigned by Cao De to a certain general to go to the training. As for the rest of the generals who had nothing to do, they were driven away by Cao De who had just moved from Nanzheng to the academy in Chengdu not long ago to serve as military sacrificial wine or students to study.
Since the completion of Cao De's reform, Yizhou has entered the vigorous tide of military training that has lasted for nearly a year. As soon as the climax of the first wave of training had passed, a black pearl came back from the north, "He's back!" ”
