Jingding is three years, the sixteenth day of the first month. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Wu Shaogang, who had been resting at home for less than ten days, decided to go to Fuzhou County, where Tongchuan Fulu belongs, to have a look again, and the purpose of going down to see this time was for spring ploughing, since the emperor and the imperial court had exempted Tongchuan Fulu from paying taxes for three years, Wu Shaogang must make good use of these three years, so that the people can completely stabilize and gather a part of the money and grain.

He still had a lot to attend to before he left.

Zhang Binghui, Ma Long, Du Xiaoqi, Wang Shisan, Qin Han, Zheng Tongwu and Yuan Shichun, although they were already officers of the Hezhou Imperial Army, they still stayed in the military camp outside Luzhou Mansion and waited for Wu Shaogang's dispatch, while Cai Siwei returned to Hezhou and began to further integrate the Hezhou Imperial Army.

After the battle of Tongchuan Fulu, the number of soldiers under Wu Shaogang has exceeded 10,000, if you count the imperial army of Hezhou, it is more than 20,000 people, this is a huge team, how to place and train this team, is also a top priority.

More than 10,000 people, the consumption is huge, money and grain need to worry about all the time, the people of Tongchuan Fulu have just stabilized, it is impossible to pay taxes, and within two years, Wu Shaogang does not plan to levy agricultural taxes, only in this way can the farmers be completely stabilized.

In his view, agricultural taxes are not enough to support government expenses and military salaries, and only by developing commerce and trade, collecting trade taxes, and even the government and the army coming forward to do business when necessary, can we gather enough wealth, maintain military expenses, and be able to become strong and strong.

As for the situation of the allocation of troops in various places, Wu Shaogang also had a detailed plan.

The fifteen prefectures to which Tongchuan Fu Road belongs, the places where troops need to be stationed, are Luzhou Mansion, Tongchuan Mansion, Hezhou Mansion and Shaoxi Mansion, and the rest of the places only need to maintain the necessary public security, and the safety of the entire Tongchuan Mansion Road is ensured by guarding these four places.

The emperor and the imperial court are very harsh on officials born as military attachés, and a slight outrage is removal and punishment, Yue Fei's great achievements in the war back then were also encountered, and Wu Shaogang's ambition will one day have a violent conflict with the imperial court, so he has a detailed plan for how to develop his own strength.

Luzhou Mansion Ya, wing.

Zhang Binghui, Ma Long, Wang Shisan, Du Xiaoqi, Qin Han, Zheng Tongwu and Yuan Shichun are all here.

Wu Shaogang pointed to the map and talked eloquently.

"Hezhou a place, stationed in Hezhou Imperial Army more than 6,000 people, the number is enough, Hezhou Imperial Army is under the control of Cai Siwei, is further integrating the army, Hezhou Imperial Army belongs to the White Army, urging the front army, all stay in Luzhou, I see that the White Army and the Urging Army, there is no need to pull out to Hezhou, stationed in Luzhou feasible."

"The sergeants we brought from the capital were all incorporated into the imperial army in Hezhou, and completely entered the Tabai Army and the Urging Army, and nearly 10,000 surrendered sergeants were not incorporated for the time being, which also means that they could not get the salary allocated by the imperial court, and this huge expense needs to be borne by ourselves."

"Where the sergeant will be stationed, I make the following decision."

"The Tabai Army, which belongs to the Hezhou Imperial Army, is stationed in the capital city of Luzhou, and is commanded by Zhang Binghui, the deputy commander of the Hezhou Imperial Front Army and the commander of the Tabai Army, and its scope of responsibility includes Luzhou, Changning and Xuzhou."

"The Hezhou Imperial Army's Urging Front Army is stationed in Tongchuan Fucheng, and is commanded by Ma Long, the commander of the Urging Army, and its scope of responsibility includes Tongchuan, Suining, Guozhou and Puzhou."

"The Hezhou Imperial Front Army, the Xuan Feng Army, and the Youyi Army are stationed in Shaoxi Mansion City, commanded by Du Xiaoqi, the commander of the Youyi Army, and the scope of its responsibility includes Shaoxi, Zizhou and Fushun."

"The front army, the middle army, the right army, the rear army and the left army of the Hezhou Imperial Front Army are stationed in the city of Hezhou, and are commanded by Cai Siwei, who is under the command of Cai Siwei, and the scope of their responsibility includes Changzhou, Hezhou, Guang'an and Quzhou."

"The 10,000 surrendered sergeants that the imperial court has not recognized for the time being, I have made the following arrangements, 4,000 people will be incorporated into the Tabai Army, 4,000 people will be incorporated into the Urging Army, and the remaining 2,000 people will be incorporated into the Youyi Army, and the rest of the armies in Hezhou Imperial Front will maintain the current situation."

"In the battle of Tongchuan Fulu, more than 8,000 war horses were captured, 3,000 were allocated to the Tabai Army, 3,000 were allocated to the Urging Army, 1,000 were allocated to the Youyi Army, and the remaining war horses were concentrated and owned by the specially formed scout battalion."

"The staffing of the scout battalion is clearly 1,000 people, and Wang Shisan, the commander of the Xuanfeng Army under the Hezhou Imperial Army, is responsible for command and training, and the scout battalion belongs to the scout can be selected from the entire Hezhou Imperial Army, and no one can stop it, and the selected scouts must be elite, it can be said that the scout battalion is the elite and iron fist of my Hezhou Imperial Army, and all they perform in wartime are the most difficult and even impossible tasks for ordinary people."

"According to my estimates, for at least two years or so, the Mongol Tatars will not attack, so we still have two more years, and within these two years, the Hezhou Imperial Army must be trained to become an iron army, and in the future, even in the face of thousands of real Mongol Tatars, they can be completely defeated."

Speaking of this, Wu Shaogang sighed slightly.

According to reason, Cai Siwei is the commander of all the imperial armies in Hezhou, and he should be fully responsible for the affairs of the imperial armies in Hezhou on behalf of the imperial court, but in terms of the command of the army, Wu Shaogang is impossible to let go, he must firmly grasp it, and in the next two years, he will not ask too much about specific matters, the focus is on army construction, and how to earn more money and food, as for people's livelihood matters, it mainly depends on Li Siqi and Lu Xiufu and others.

In other words, although Cai Siwei is the commander of all the armies in Hezhou, the real commander of this army is Wu Shaogang, and Cai Siwei is only one of Wu Shaogang's deputies.

"You are all brothers who have followed me for many years, you should all know that the army in front of Hezhou is under the control of Cai Siwei, Cai Siwei and I are sworn brothers, at the dock of Jiangling Mansion back then, you witnessed Cai Siwei and my sworn worship, so I can make arrangements so without scruples, exercise the command of the army in front of Hezhou, soldiers, treacherous, want to really build an iron army, it is not as simple as words, a strong army, only one commander, this is the first thing that needs to be done."

"The imperial court's control over many imperial armies is extremely strict, and the monitoring of Cai Siwei and me is also extremely strict, if we follow the rules of the imperial court, then the imperial armies in Hezhou will not be able to make great progress, and it will be impossible to fight face-to-face with the Mongolian Tatars in the future, so we must find another way."

"From today on, all the orders of the imperial army in Hezhou are issued by me, and only the orders I issue can be executed, whether it is the emperor's decree or the imperial court's edict, it is not something you must execute."

Speaking of this, Wu Shaogang's expression became extremely cold.

He looked at the crowd and spoke again.

"What I just said, you must be surprised, you are all brothers who follow me, I will not force you, if anyone thinks that this should not be done, you can stand up, I will recommend it to the imperial court, let you go to a better place, and even return to the white army and the urging army of the front division of the palace, and enjoy the glory and wealth."

After saying this, Wu Shaogang was silent for a while, looking at everyone, especially at Qin Han.

No one spoke, no one hesitated, everyone looked up at Wu Shaogang.

In fact, after a long time of training, everyone has long understood the meaning of this layer.

"Follow the adults to the soup and fire, and never give up...

The voices were not very neat, but everyone spoke.

Wu Shaogang nodded with satisfaction.

"My words have been said in the front, you have also expressed your position, then we will work together, glory and wealth are won by ourselves, any money for charity, it is difficult to last, our fate must be in our own hands."

"You are all my most trusted brothers, we have blessings and hardships, but I also want to make a special point, if someone chooses to betray, then I will show no mercy, and then you don't blame me for being too cruel."

Speaking of this, Wu Shaogang's hand pointed to Tongchuanfu Road on the map again.

"The location of Tongchuan Fu Road is very important, I don't need to say more, our west is Chengdu Fu Road occupied by Mongolia, our southwest is Yunnan Road occupied by Mongolia, and our south is Wumeng Prefecture and Luo Prefecture where clans live, although these two places also belong to the jurisdiction of Tongchuan Fu Road, but for many years they have been local clan leaders, and the government has almost not intervened."

"Therefore, the two years of peace I am talking about are actually not peaceful, our next goal and task is not only to make ourselves stronger, but also to strengthen the leadership of Wumeng Prefecture and Luo Clan, any clan must obey the orders of the government, and the clans that do not obey the command and dispatch will be exterminated."

"Liu Heima in the west, not to be underestimated, although the loss of 5,000 military horses, but its real strength has not been damaged, its unconvinced failure, occasionally can provoke, we must always be vigilant, Liu Heima any provocation, we must have a clear attitude to fight back, and must achieve victory."

Wu Shaogang's hand stopped in the direction of Chongqing Mansion and knocked hard.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our biggest trouble may come from the east."

"I don't say much, you all understand, the above things, completely up to me to deal with, you can do your part with peace of mind, the better you do, the more I have extraordinary confidence, a lot of things, I can deal with it calmly...

After a full hour and a half, Zhang Binghui and others left the wing of the government one after another.

The expression on everyone's face was serious, but there was excitement in the seriousness. (To be continued.) )
