Chapter 554: Conscription 1
Ye Xuan left, and took the government army of Shanyang Mansion to the north to support. Five battalions, a total of 15,000 government troops, were all taken away, and although the logistical pressure was very great, he still forcibly pressed the whole army. Just in case, Ye Xuan asked the Shanyang Mansion Assassin to be in charge of logistics matters, increase taxes, and recruit young and strong people as logistics teams.
Although Ye Xuan was gone, Feng Ziming still didn't feel a trace of relief. As for Ye Xuan's ability, he didn't dare to say that he knew very well, but he also knew about it.
It's not that this Ye Xuan is stupid, this Ye Xuan has no problem leading a battalion or even several battalions of soldiers and horses. But this is the opposite of Tang Jun, he really has no hope for Ye Xuan's action this time. Of course, Feng Ziming also knew that if there was no Li Feng, he would not be much better.
Regarding Feng Ziming's worries, Zhao Xun seemed very relaxed. Victory or defeat did not have a great impact on him. If Ye Xuan's army is really defeated, the person in charge of Shanyang Mansion is Feng Ziming, that is, himself. As for the Tang Army, in Liangzhou Mansion, it first fought with the Wuwei Army, and then fought with the Fu Army, even if it entered Shanyang Mansion, it was the end of the crossbow, and if you work hard, it is not impossible to resist. It's not that Zhao Xun underestimates the other party, but that Zhao Xun is already preparing.
The Liangzhou Mansion was defeated, and the government army naturally would not be completely annihilated or captured. A large part of them still fled back. In the territory of Shanyang Prefecture, tens of thousands of Liangzhou Prefecture troops entered the country. A small half of them are regular government army veterans, and most of them are newly recruited soldiers last year because of the war. So it is, but these people are also soldiers, and they can be regarded as trained and have seen the cruelty of the battlefield. In addition, there are also soldiers and soldiers who have previously gone from other provinces in the south to support. But now, they are all a rout.
Naturally, these routs could not be left unattended, and in addition to some of them being absorbed by the front, many of them were arranged to rest and recuperate in the rear. Especially those teams that have been broken up, they have really become rangers. These rangers were scattered, unorganized, and could not even receive their salaries. For this reason, the Assassin Mansion had no choice but to temporarily let them stand by in the barracks and wait for disposal.
As for these people, Zhao Xun naturally will not give up. He is not short of money now, but he has few soldiers and horses. If you want to block the Tang Army and want to sit on Shanyang Mansion, you naturally can't do it if you don't have power or soldiers in your hands. So, Zhao Xun began to recruit.
Regarding Feng Ziming's actions, Hu Qingming, the assassin of Shanyang Mansion, knew that something was wrong, but he couldn't help it, and he didn't dare to oppose it. Although he knew that Feng Ziming and Ye Xuan had a deep conflict with each other because of the situation that day, he also knew that without Ye Xuan by his side, he would not dare to confront Feng Ziming. What's more, although Ye Xuan and Feng Ziming are not dealing with each other, Feng Ziming is still the governor of the Governor's Mansion. If Ye Xuan leaves in the future, what will he do? Therefore, I can only pretend not to know about the strategy of recruiting new soldiers under Feng Ziming. In addition, in this way, it can be regarded as reducing the disaster in Sanyang Province.
"How many people are you going to enlist? Do we need so many people? Seeing that the army under his name was close to 10,000 people, not only the front-line army, but also some young and strong people who had also been recruited, Feng Ziming was a little big. He didn't know what this guy wanted to do, and since he came to Shanyang Mansion, he posted a conscription notice. The treatment of this Fengziming department is still good, and it does not disturb the people, and in just ten days, it is known to the people. Coupled with the treatment passed on by the soldiers, many defeated troops and young men have been recruited, and the recruits have more than 10,000 subordinates in front and behind. Naturally, not all of these more than 10,000 people remained, and after some assessment, more than 5,000 people remained. The old rule, 3,000 soldiers, 2,000 auxiliaries. If the auxiliaries want to rely on the soldiers, they will challenge the soldiers, and the winner will enter. In the same way, those who lose will retreat.
"What? Too many people who hate you? Zhao Xun said slowly.
"My people?" The corners of Feng Ziming's mouth twitched, and he sneered: "Can my military order still be transmitted?" Without your warrant, I'm afraid I won't be able to move a team of more than 500 people. "Since the rectification, coupled with Ye Xuan's small actions in logistics, Zhao Xun, who is a general, has suddenly come to the fore, plus the officers of all sizes in the army, either Zhao Xun's subordinates, or Zhao Xun pulled them up. Now, the entire army of 10,000 people, except for Zhao Xun's military orders, the rest do not listen to anyone.
"Huh...... Mine, what's the difference between yours? Now, it's important to hold on to Sanyang Mansion, not to dwell on this issue, what do you say? ”
"Let's not talk about this for the time being, now, we already have more than 10,000 subordinates, and the number of commanders beyond the Xu Rank regulations. If it goes on like this, Xu Jie is afraid that he will ...... "Regarding the issue of military power, now Feng Ziming can be regarded as letting go, to be honest, he can make suggestions and engage in civil politics, but if he wants to lead the army and command the overall situation, he knows that he really doesn't have the ability."
"Ten thousand? 4,000 of them were merely auxiliaries. There were only 6,000 real soldiers, which was far worse than I wanted. Among them, the real combat effectiveness is only a battalion that comes with us. As for the second battalion, I'm afraid it's still in the run-in period, whether it can be fused together, or two words. Don't forget, what responsibility we have. Guarding Shanyang Mansion, with a battalion of 5,000 people? Do you think it's possible? If Ye Xuan is defeated again, the more than 20,000 soldiers under his command will only be able to play a role in the short term. When the time comes, who will Shanyang Mansion really rely on? Not someone else, but us. ”
"As for the excess! Don't forget, you are the commander of the Shanyang Mansion Army appointed by Xu Jie personally, although that bastard Ye Xuan also has it, and even took your place in advance. However, your military order is still valid, since you can't take over the government army directly under the jurisdiction of Shanyang Prefecture, then I can take over the defeated army on the front line myself. If Xu Jie really dares to attack you, we can take advantage of the situation to conquer, I don't believe it, he is really not afraid that we will vote for the Tang Army. Now, the more people we have, the more he Xu Jie's dare not move, not to mention, we have to bear the trouble that Ye Xuan may bring. ”
Feng Ziming's face darkened slightly, in fact, he also thought of what Zhao Xun said, and he also knew the benefits of having the army in hand. It's a pity that this army is not its own now. Fortunately, both he and the other party's original intentions are the same, and they are both aimed at the tranquility of Shanyang Mansion.
"By the way, you gave Xu Jie's feedback on the situation here, did Xu Jie's response? Calculate the time, it has been more than ten days before and after, how can you say that this is also a matter related to the peace of Shanyang Mansion, Xu Jie should not have no response. In one place, two generals appeared, and this Xu Jiejie is really talented. Since you are worried that you will become big and doubt your loyalty, why should you be made the commander of the first government? If you have sent someone else to replace you, why don't you cancel your military order, or rather, simply not mention it? ”
"Xu Jie wants me to leave Yanzhou City, and he doesn't want to be dissatisfied with me because I was kicked out of Yanzhou City, which will bring him any trouble. Therefore, if I was asked to be the commander of the army of Shanyang Prefecture, in fact, someone else would have taken over a long time ago. I thought Xu Jie's trust me, but I didn't expect ......" said, Feng Ziming was a little disappointed, disappointed in Xu Jie.
"So, Xu Jie didn't give you a clear answer?"
"It's not that there is no clear answer, it's that there is no answer at all. It seems that Xu Jie is suspicious of me. Feng Ziming said indifferently.
"Speaking of which, it's also about me. At the beginning, in order to let these 5,000 people be able to deter the government army of Shanyang Mansion, improve their combat effectiveness, and fight the Tang army, I didn't expect our behavior and slow marching speed. All of a sudden, Xu Jie's reaction was so big. Zhao Xun couldn't help but sigh.
"No matter what he thinks about Xu Jie, what he does, as long as we keep Shanyang Mansion, it's worth it. Xu Jie is old and timid. Too many scruples, it's hard to achieve great things! Feng Ziming's face was a little gloomy.
Zhao Xun smiled: "When people are old, they have more things to think about. But it also lost its enterprising spirit. Perhaps, Xu Jie's original intention is good, and the blame can only be blamed on the fact that this land of Yanzhou is the land of four wars, and all forces have taken a fancy to this place. ”
"Report ...... General, my lord! The soldiers of the second battalion began to make noise again. At this moment, Wei Dong entered the military tent and reported in a deep voice.
"Oh? What's going on? This is the fifth time! Could it be that there are ruffians in it? Zhao Xun's face turned cold and said in a deep voice. Naturally, after the establishment of the second battalion, there was no peace in the second battalion. Because the soldiers came from all over the place, in addition, there were front-line defeated troops, and there were also local young people. There are many contradictions between each other, and there are no less than four fights and brawls. For this reason, Zhao Xun also strictly forbade the military formation to make trouble. However, it will only take three days for the second battalion to be officially established, and it is still far from reaching the point of commanding like an arm. Regarding the brawl of the soldiers, Zhao Xun did not behead him according to military discipline.
"General, this time is stricter than the previous times. The number of people involved in the fight is no longer one or two, but three or four hundred. Wei Dong smiled bitterly.
"Bastard! There are endless battles on the front line, and there is still infighting here. Most of these soldiers are front-line defeated troops, don't you know what the barracks are like? Treat military regulations and military discipline as nothing, and be killed! Zhao Xun's face was gloomy, and he said sharply.
"Wait!" Hearing that Zhao Xun was about to make a heavy hand again, Feng Ziming hurriedly stopped, "You also said that the time of these soft together is still short. This time, there may be a reason for it, so why should the general be heavy-handed about it. ”
Zhao Xun said coldly: "This is a military camp, not a child's house." The more than 5,000 people in this group have all passed our assessment, and I dare not say it now, but if they can survive on the battlefield in the future, they are all elites. If only it were a new recruit. But here, seventy percent of the people are defeated by the government army. Others don't know, don't they know military discipline either? In the army, in addition to himself, it is the robe that can save himself on the battlefield. Now they are fighting each other, what do you want to do" How can you rest assured that your back will be handed over to the robe in the future? ”
Feng Ziming was also speechless, he also knew about these.
"Don't worry, I won't punish them severely, after all, this is all a miscellaneous group of guerrillas." Zhao Xun smiled bitterly. It's not easy for these people to form combat power.
