Chapter 53 Point General (Medium)

"No!" As soon as Liu Ziyun's words fell, Ding Dexing hurriedly stood up, "If the auxiliary troops are not under the control of the legions, won't they have to face the problem of not knowing the generals and the generals?" In addition, the auxiliaries must be replenished into the ranks of the soldiers at any time during the war. If you are transferred around, there are no fellow villagers or acquaintances around. How can they adapt quickly to the battlefield? ”

"What General Ding said is extremely true, and the last general is also so worried!" Ivanov also stood up and made a stuttering statement. "The last general, the last general, take the Second Army Corps as an example, the six auxiliary brigades, in fact, the gap between them and the soldiers is not much bigger. If you pull an auxiliary brigade out, you can easily beat the three thousand people on the Yuan army's side. And in case other auxiliary brigades that were transferred in wartime did not meet this standard. If the last general redeploys his troops according to his original habits, will he not be defeated and lost by the enemy?! ”

"The last general thinks that what General Ivan said is true!"

"The last general seconded it!"

"The last general seconded it!"

Feng Guosheng, Fu Youde, and other generals attending the meeting also spoke out one after another, and most of them expressed concern about rashly carrying out military system reforms.

According to the tradition of the Red Turban Army, each general has a certain number of men under his command. And the more people under his command, the higher the status of the person. From this point of view, Liu Ziyun's separation of auxiliaries from soldiers is equivalent to cutting off nearly half of the military power of everyone with a single sword, and of course no one is willing to give in lightly.

In addition, the Seventh Legion could not recruit a sufficient number of auxiliaries, because the legion commander Wang Kerou's own prestige and ability were too poor, and others did not encounter the same problem. Why is it that because he is in trouble alone, the auxiliary soldiers that everyone has worked so hard to train will be sent to him for nothing in the future? Does he have that qualification, he has never fought on a battlefield, so why should everyone trust his brothers to him?

The only one who clearly expressed support for Liu Ziyun's proposal was Zhu Qiang, the commander of the water division. He didn't exactly want to slap Zhu Chongjiu's ass, but the benefits of doing so were obvious, "Everyone, your lords, listen to a certain look." Zhu, Zhu thinks that this method is very good. As for the soldiers, it is easy to do. Let the officers of all auxiliary brigades go to the martial arts hall for training. Everyone has learned the same things, and their habits have been corrected according to the content of the martial arts hall, so it will naturally make no difference to who will obey the order! ”

"General Zhu! You say it so easily. Dare to love you, the sailor doesn't need to change! When they heard this, they turned their eyes to him and gritted their teeth.

Zhu Qiang stretched out his tongue and didn't dare to say more. Since its formation, the Sailor Division has not followed the same routine with other legions. So now that he is speaking to support Liu Ziyun, he is indeed suspected of standing and talking without backache.

However, the generals did not want to let him go, and said in a slightly envious tone: "Actually, it is easy to give more money and food to the brothers. The kind of forty-gun ship of the sailor, if you build one less, you can raise half a legion. ”

"Isn't it? Why bother loading forty cannons, twenty are already invincible in the world! Twenty doors are saved, enough to support two brigades of soldiers for a whole year! ”

"Why don't we change, I'll go to the ship for a few days to relax, and you can help me lead the troops." Anyway, your tactics are just to bombard with artillery. Ordinary boats, light yì can't even get close to you"

"If you want me to say, how can our Huai'an army need such a strong sailor. I think that the Mongols didn't even have a few ships back then, and they still fought all the way to Yashan! ”

Everyone, you say a word, I say a word, the more you say, the more excessive. Even the Military Bureau has questioned the overall planning of the Huai'an Army's waterway contingent in recent years.

When Zhu Qiang heard this, he immediately became angry. However, some military plans are just in the discussion stage and cannot be made public. So he was so angry that his forehead was bruised, but he stammered, and he couldn't return a word.

When Liu Ziyun heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows. slapped the table hard and shouted, "Enough!" I was reluctant to let go of the auxiliaries of the brigades under my command, so I simply said it directly. Don't use a sailor to make a raft. Liu Mou will ask a word now, the military bureau wants to leave all the auxiliaries in your hands for unified training and deployment. Who doesn't want to, stand up for yourself now! ”

He has always been the mildest of the commanders and lieutenants, and has hardly ever blushed with anyone. Today, the honest man was forced to be anxious, and suddenly broke out once, which immediately startled everyone.

"This" In an instant, all the generals closed their mouths in unison. Look at each other. I can't think of any way to think of it, what confidence does this guy surnamed Liu have, and he has to offend the big guy to death.

"What are the Privy Councillors and the Military Bureau doing, isn't it just to unify the dispatch of all departments and prevent the legions from doing their own thing?!" Seeing everyone's expressions, Liu Ziyun slapped the table again, and his voice became more and more stern. "I haven't waited until I have finished fighting the country, I am thinking about protecting the military power in my hand, is it more satisfying to let you all carve a piece of territory and be the emperor of the soil? ! Whether it is the Second Army or the First Army, the soldiers and horses are the soldiers and horses of the Great Governor's Office, not your private property. Who has a reason to hold the soldiers and horses in their hands? Or who has the ability to live on their own without going through the Great Governor's Mansion to allocate money, food, and ordnance?!"

When the generals heard this, they suddenly saw sweat on their foreheads, and no one dared to jump up again.

Indeed, the Red Turban Army has the tradition of the Red Turban Army, and even on Meng Yuan's side, who has more soldiers and horses in his hands at the moment, who speaks more hardly. However, although the Huai'an Army belonged to the Red Turban Army, it had never walked the same path as other Red Turban Army. At the beginning, the chief manager Zhu Chongjiu handed over the team to everyone, and he did not announce that these brothers would become everyone's personal subordinates from now on, and no one could take it lightly in the future.

Moreover, the Huai'an army is strong, but the requirements for weapon supply are countless times that of ordinary armies. Without the unified supply of the Grand Governor's Office, the musket that ran out of ammunition was completely turned into a burning stick. In this case, who is likely to go to the door of self-reliance, and who has the courage to declare self-sufficiency?!

"Do you remember where those Assassins came from? Auxiliaries! More than half of them are auxiliaries recruited by the Second Army itself! If you let all the kings go their own way, who can guarantee that you will not be able to recruit a bunch of dead soldiers to come in? Or would you rather let the chief steward risk being assassinated again, just to make your own troops strong?! ”

These few words are extremely heavy. made all the generals present tremble several times in their hearts, and hurriedly jumped up one after another, and saluted Zhu Chongjiu, "Lord, we are wronged!" ”

"Lord, Governor Liu is spewing blood. The last general, the last general really doesn't mean that!! ”

"The life of the last general is given by the lord, how dare he support the army and respect himself? Before, it was just, I just didn't understand Lord Liu's thoughts, so I raised an objection! ”

"Lord, you have said that those who speak are not guilty! The lord, the last general admits that he has selfish intentions, but the last general will never dare to have any disrespect for the lord! ”

"That's it!" Zhu Chongjiu waved his hand tiredly and interrupted loudly, "Don't say anything, if I doubt you, why do I have to summon you to come to me?!" Governor Liu's mention just now is good, the auxiliary soldiers should indeed be separated from the soldiers. It is uniformly recruited and supplemented by the military bureau, and trained by the military bureau. There is nothing to argue about in this matter, it is imperative! ”

"Yes!" The generals quickly looked at each other and agreed in unison.

The decision to take the initiative is a little overbearing, but everyone is frustrated, and there is no resentment in their hearts. First of all, it was Liu Ziyun's house that proposed to build yì, and the lord was also bewitched by him, so he came forward to support him. Second, there is a reason for this. After all, no matter who is assassinated by soldiers armed with his own hands in the territory of his most trusted general, it is impossible not to leave some shadows in his heart afterwards. However, the retaliatory measures taken by the father of his own family were the mildest, and the number of people affected was also very small, far more than anyone expected after the incident.

"Since you don't have any objections, Zhu will act arbitrarily again today." Glancing at Liu Ziyun meaningfully, and slowly glancing at the generals present, Zhu Chongjiu took a breath lightly, smiled and continued to add, "Except for the Sixth Army Corps far north of the Yellow River, which maintains its original appearance, the other legions and auxiliaries are unified under the direct jurisdiction of the Privy Council, and they are uniformly assigned to the number. The numbers of the soldiers were also re-planned. Referring to the pattern of the first and third legions, the ranks of the first legions start with a few. Then add two more digits. For example, the 6th Brigade of the 2nd Army Corps is called the 206th Brigade. The regimental number follows the brigade. And so on, and so on, as soon as the legions returned. Then re-summarize and report to the military bureau! ”

"Yes!" Now that the wood has been completed, the generals have no resistance to this order, which is only superficially changed, and they raise their hands to their foreheads and salute solemnly.

Zhu Chongjiu raised his hand to return the military salute to everyone, and then continued to announce loudly, "The auxiliaries are not divided according to the corps, but are unified to start with the auxiliaries, and the first, second, third, and fourth are lined down." The military bureau will arrange manpower training in a unified manner, and all of them will be out of production from now on. Those who have passed the training, even if they are added to the soldiers, the final destination of each person is also determined by the military bureau. If there is a conquest, the auxiliaries of each legion will be arranged by the Privy Council! ”

This order, compared to the previous one, is also at the level of innocence. All the generals once again led the order in unison. However, Zhu Chongjiu's next words made everyone ecstatic.

"Being a soldier is not a cheap service, if the Great Song Dynasty did not emphasize literature and light military force, it would not have ended up being destroyed twice at the hands of foreign races. Therefore, I must not let this wind be rekindled. Therefore, Zhu decided to grant land to the soldiers from now on. If the auxiliary soldiers are trained and qualified, they will be given an additional 15 acres of fertile land under their names. The same is true of the current soldiers. These fields are registered as the private land of soldiers in that year, and are not subject to the three-year continuous tax limit! After that, for every meritorious service level in the army, two acres of fertile land will be awarded. The land in the hands of the soldiers could be resold or rented to others for planting. Even if a brother dies on the battlefield, after the credit is counted, the household bureau will give the land to his family and never take it back! ”

"Slow down!" The voice of Yu Changlin, the head of the household bureau, immediately sounded, with deep anxiety. "Right now, right now, I'm Huaiyang in Xusu and other places, and there are indeed many ownerless wastelands. However, under the lord's account, it is impossible to be these hundreds of thousands of soldiers forever. The lord wants to win the championship"

Zhu Chongjiu waved his hand vigorously and cut Chang Lin's words into two sections, "Then go and grab it, there is enough land in Jiangnan." Hebei, Saiwai, across the sea, more land! Snatch the land in the name of the Mongol prince. Snatch the land in the name of the gentry Haoqiang, who would rather follow the Mongols to the end than refuse to provide me with any support from Huaiyang. Since he is determined to be an enemy of Zhu, why should Zhu get used to him? ! ”
