Chapter 504: Expansion of the Army
200,000 conscription!
As soon as Cao De's words were thrown, they did not cause a strong reaction similar to that of Luoyang. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info It seems that these 200,000 troops are like 20 people, 200 people!
At present, all the people present, including the eunuchs and maids, except for Liu Yan, are Cao De's henchmen, so it is not so strange that there is such a situation.
And the strangest thing about this matter is that Cao De has already organized the more than 200,000 captives in Jizhou into the Jizhou New Army, and now he has to recruit 200,000 soldiers. In this way, the army under Cao De is about to exceed 800,000!
The army of 800,000 is an astronomical amount just for the supply and daily maintenance and wear and tear, but no one objected, including Jia Xu, including Xun Yu and others.
Not really. The more than 200,000 so-called Jizhou New Army had already been incorporated into Gaoshun's construction corps long before today.
Therefore, even if Cao De expands his army by another 200,000, he will only have an army of more than 500,000!
However, after Cao De threw out the plan to expand the army by 200,000, Cao De immediately made a supplement!
From now on, the army of Han China was divided into three parts!
The first part, the field army!
The second part, the garrison!
The third part, the city garrison!
A field army, as the name suggests, is an army with field warfare as its main combat mission. And Cao De named it the Field Army, of course, Cao De borrowed the memories of his previous life!
The armies included in the field army are, the Five Elements Battalion, the Five Weapons Battalion, the Five Guards Battalion, the Four Cavalry Battalion, the Flying Wolf Army, the Tianxiang Army and the Tianrui Army.
From now on, their mission is to attack!
The defense army, it is easy to understand, their main task is defense. And this garrison army is the 200,000 that Cao De wants to expand!
In view of the battle against Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Dong Zhuo this time, Cao De felt a little stretched. If it weren't for Yuan Shao's more than 200,000 troops organized into the Jizhou New Army in time, Cao De would probably still be fighting with Dong Zhuo in Jizhou at this moment.
In fact, Cao De's preparation to expand the 200,000 garrison army had already been discussed with Jia Xu and others. Therefore, Cao De's announcement this time is just the next notice!
"I want to recruit 200,000 soldiers, divided into Yizhou Army, Liangzhou Army, Bingzhou Army, and Chang'an Army! Its main task is to defend the states and counties after the army has set out! I don't know what else you think? ”
"Prime Minister!" Zhu Jun, who had just been appointed as a soldier Cao Cao, stood up, "The prime minister's intention is that after the army sets out, the four armies will take the opportunity to sneak attack?" ”
"Exactly!" Cao De nodded affirmatively.
"The prime minister is wise! In this way, the 340,000 troops of my Hanzhong can be clenched into fists, and there is no need to look forward or backward! "As a battlefield veteran, Zhu Jun's strategic vision cannot be ignored, otherwise Cao De would not let Zhu Jun do this soldier Cao Cao's business!
"General Anton Zhou Cang!"
"Humble duty!"
"Since you are General Anton, the Chang'an Army is under the command of General Anton!"
"Thank you for believing in Ren!" Zhou Cang's face was instantly filled with joy!
Since the last time Cao De began to implement the military talisman system, except for Gao Shun, there have been no soldiers under any general. And now, Zhou Cang has become the first special!
"General Annan, Shamoke! Since you are General Annan, the Yizhou Army is under the command of General Annan! ”
"Thank you for believing in Ren!" Shamoko saluted and thanked him, and returned to the queue again.
With Zhou Cang and Shamoke as a precedent, Zhang Ren and Ma Yu were suddenly excited.
Sure enough, Zhang Ren, as the general of Anxi, led the Liangzhou army; Horse play as the general of Anbei, lead and merge the state army!
"Frustrated! Horse play! ”
After Cao De finished dividing the commanders of the four armies that had just been released, he suddenly clicked on the merger state combination that was about to become a partner!
"Humble duty!"
"Wen can be an anbang and Wu can be a state. The two of you, one article and one martial arts. The matter of merging the state requires the two of you to work together! "Horse play is an old seniority, and Fu Zhu is a newcomer, Cao De is most worried about what Fu Zhu will do because of the old qualifications of Ma Fu!
"Please rest assured! The humble position will live up to the trust of the prime minister and the king of Hanzhong! The two of them looked at each other and said very tacitly.
Cao De nodded with satisfaction, "The matter of recruiting soldiers and the affairs of the four armies will be handled by Bing Cao!" ”
"Yes!" Zhu Jun came out again, hugged his fists and responded!
These 200,000 people do not mean that Cao De only needs to select a part from the construction corps and then recruit a part of the recruits.
You must know that in this way, it will take a long time for the four armies of the garrison army to form combat effectiveness. Moreover, it also takes a long time and a lot of experience to grow from a recruit to a veteran.
Therefore, the methods used by Cao De in the expansion of the army are to use veterans to lead new soldiers.
The 200,000 people of the Fourth Army of the Defense Army will be selected from the existing battalions and armies, and then a part will be selected from the military meritorious personnel of the Jizhou New Army, as well as a part of the original construction corps, plus a part of the newly recruited troops, to form the new Fourth Army of the Defense Army!
In addition, Cao De also proposed to form a tiger army! The Tiger Ben army defended the palace and the prime minister's mansion in Hanzhong, as well as important places in Chang'an City.
However, when Cao De proposed the Tiger Army, Cai Yong was a little dissatisfied.
The Tiger Ben Army can be said to have been formed by Emperor Wu of Khan. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took the orphans in the army and the descendants of the generals and officers into one army, called the Tiger Ben Army. Moreover, the Tiger Ben Army is not controlled by anyone, and is only under the orders of the emperor alone!
Therefore, the Tiger Ben Army can only be owned by the Son of Heaven, Liu Bian is just a king of Hanzhong, is there a suspicion of rebellion if he uses the Tiger Ben Army!
However, Cao De said, scholars don't have to worry, what are you afraid of? His Royal Highness the King of Hanzhong was given nine tin, and I, the prime minister of Hanzhong, were also given nine tin. There are only six hundred tigers for the two of us. Moreover, Liu Xie of Luoyang did pick the door, and these six hundred tigers were only given armor and not given to people. I'll make a batch of my own, and then ask the Son of Heaven, and I'll be fine.
Besides, this matter can be big or small. If Cao De was still in the past, Cao De really had to think about it, but now, even if he was grabbed by some people with ulterior motives, what about it?
And this Tiger Ben army was completely selected from the field army. Scale, 10,000 people!
Among them, two thousand cavalrymen, two thousand archers, two thousand sword and shield men, spearmen changed to halberdiers, four thousand!
In the end, the formation of the Tiger Ben Army was also handed over to the soldier Cao Cao and Zhu Jun.
The field army that was selected out was also given priority to be supplemented by those who had military merits in the original Jizhou New Army.
Cao De promised them after all. The last thing a prime minister and a superior can do is to lose trust!
The most important thing was completed, and then Cao De dealt with some unimportant things one after another, and after Cao De announced the end, everyone went back to their respective homes to find their wives.
And in this, it should be noted that Liu Wei is just an observer!
It is still Cao De who is in charge, even when he was in Fengzhou Mu Feng General, he did not mention Liu Bian at all, all of them followed the prime minister, it seems that Cao De has forgotten that when he sent a petition to Luoyang, he said that he was under the leadership of the Gongzi of Debate.
By the time Cao De returned to the General's Mansion, it was already dark. Although I didn't feel how long it had been just now, Cao Ang and the others had indeed been on the cold bench in the Prime Minister's Hall for a long time.
Fortunately, Pei Yuanshao reminded Cao De in time, and Cao De, who was about to pick up chopsticks for dinner, was stunned for a moment, "Go and call Cao Ang and Sun Quan, as for Jian Yong and Jing Yue, let them spend the night in the Prime Minister's Palace!" It's time for uncle to see nephew! ”
