Chapter 309 has a soul

After Wang Anjie finished speaking, Yin Yinglei said: "Please instruct Your Majesty." ”

"My request is very simple, that is, within a year or two, the Sanchuan soldiers of the Lin'an Military Region will be built into an elite army that can fight tough battles and is good at fighting tough battles, as for the ways and means of training, I generally will not interfere too much, you only need to report to the Military Affairs Yuan after discussion, of course, the premise is that you cannot violate the laws and military regulations of our dynasty."

Yin Yinglei said: "The minister understands, Your Majesty, but rest assured, after a year and a half, as long as I go through a few baptisms of actual combat, my Lin'an Military Region will definitely not be weaker than the four major frontier military regions." ”

I smiled and said: "Actual combat, you don't have to wait for a year and a half later, Li Beiyang's troops to suppress pirates, it is likely that they will attack the Ryukyu Islands, I asked you Lin'an Military Region to send 5,000 troops, is to let you participate in actual combat training, the Ryukyu Islands are composed of several small island countries, you rotate your troops, and take them one by one for me." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers obey."

"Yin Aiqing, who of you will lead the troops in this first expedition."

"Your Majesty, the minister and General Wang have discussed, this time let the second commander General Zhao Bao lead his 5,000 soldiers to the Ryukyus, and next time General Wu Songhan and General Zhang Shun will rotate."

"Well, most of the officers and soldiers of the Lin'an Military Region have never been on the battlefield, even if it is the original forbidden army, this is the case, and after this year and a half, your soldiers can become veterans with actual combat experience on the battlefield, three commanders, do you have confidence?"

"Your Majesty rest assured, the last general will live up to Your Majesty's trust."

"Okay, General Zhao, General Wu, General Zhang, I will replace wine with tea, I wish you all a victory, and raise the prestige of my Great Song Dynasty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Even though it was tea, the three commanders also drank it with pride.

On the same day that I inspected the military camp, the Mongolian Khan Kublai Khan also held the first Mongolian military conference of the year in his palace in the military tent.

In addition to the generals of the expedition to the Western Regions, almost all the generals in Mongolia arrived, Zongwang Hedan, Habichi, Kuthorn, the veteran Wuliang Hetai (the father of Ashu), Ashu, Boyan, An Tong, Atahai, Ali Hague, who had just returned from the Western Regions, Pingzhang political affairs and Han military governor Zhao Bi, Dong Wenbing, Zhang Rou, Shi Tianze, Zhang Hongfan, Liu Quan and other famous generals were all present, in addition to this group of generals, only the emperor Hao Jing, the national teacher Ba Si Pa and Zhongshu Ling Zhenjin attended the meeting.

In the early days of Mongolia, the tribal military system was implemented, the men of each tribe were over 15 years old, and all the men under the age of 70 were soldiers, they dismounted and herded livestock in peacetime, and went on horses to attack in wartime, it was a typical system of integration of soldiers and herdsmen, and its social organization and military organization were integrated, it can be called all the people were soldiers, and the army composed of men in these Mongolian tribes was known as the invincible "Mongolian Iron Cavalry" in the world.

With the gradual expansion of the Mongol power, the area occupied is becoming more and more extensive, and the sources of its officers and soldiers in the army have also begun to diversify, to the time of Möngke Khan and Kublai Khan, the composition of the army is mainly three: the first is naturally the Mongol army, which is a force composed of Mongols including some Semu people, and it is also the main force of Mongolia, all cavalry equipment; The second in line was the Tanma Red Army, which initially referred to the forward, heavy or distant troops composed of elite troops drawn from the Mongol tribes, and later also joined by many Semu people and Han Chinese; The last in line is called the Han army, that is, the army composed of the Han people in the original Jin Dynasty area and some Jurchens and Khitans, and the Han army with the lowest status is basically foot soldiers.

Mongolia's army is organized according to the decimal system, divided into 10,000 households (3000 ~ 7000 people), 1000 households (300 ~ 700 people), 100 households, brand (10 households) and other four levels, divided into 10,000 households, 1000 households, 100 households, brand heads, non-Mongolian army of 10,000 households, 1,000 households and "Daru Huachi", is a prison officer, exclusively by the Mongolian or Semu nobles, 10,000 households on the 10,000 households, the capital of the governor's office, etc., the guards and pro-army in the thousands of households set up a command and envoy,

In 1260, since Kublai Khan began to control the Mongol government, some Song Dynasty systems were gradually introduced into the Mongolian military system, but its core mechanism has not changed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the news from the Southern Dynasty said that the Southern Dynasty abolished the forbidden army and replaced it with the six major military regions and the Imperial Forest Army. Kublai Khan smiled, and then said seriously, "However, many of the establishments of the Southern Dynasty have lasted for thousands of years, and there are certain merits, and our dynasty needs to make preparations for the southern expedition this year and next year, so for the military affairs of our dynasty, there should also be necessary adjustments for the surname." ”

"Great Khan, it's going to be two more years." Ali Hague Road,

"Ali Hague, if you provide enough military funds for the Ben Khan dynasty, then Ben Khan will order the south today."

"Hehe, Great Khan, do you know that the minister's little money has been exchanged for wine and drunk, where will there be so much military spending."

Kublai Khan knew the surname of Ali Hague, and he didn't pay attention to it, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Ben Khan's general idea is three, first of all, in terms of troops, everyone knows the courage of our dynasty's cavalry, so we must give full play to the advantages of our dynasty's war horses and horsemanship, Ben Khan has discussed with the emperor and the newly established Taifu Temple officials (the official office in charge of horses), and intends to equip all the soldiers of the Red Army with mounts within this year, and at least let the soldiers of the Han army have more than thirty percent of the war horses within the next year, at the same time, It is also necessary to strictly control the southward flow of our war horses, blocking all possible routes to the southern dynasty, the cavalry is the foundation of our dynasty, and it is also the main force in the field of various armies, so this Khan will continue to focus on supporting, at the same time, when our dynasty is growing, it is also necessary to develop the original shortcomings, Ben Khan has said many times that it is necessary to vigorously develop the water division, but most of the generals still do not pay attention to it, here, this Khan reiterated that the water division is bound to develop, Liu Quan. ”

"The minister is here."

"From now on, our dynasty officially established the Sailor Wanhu Mansion, directly under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council, Liu Aiqing, Ben Khan appointed you as the head of the Ten Thousand Households, the Governor of the Sailor Wanhu Mansion, and the general leader of all the affairs of the Navy, in addition, you and Zhao Bi, Zhao Aiqing, Shi Tianze, Shi Aiqing joined the Privy Council."

When Liu Cheng heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you for your love." ”

Zhao Bi and Shi Tianze were also overjoyed, knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you, Great Khan." ”

The supreme commander of the Mongolian army is concurrently served by the Great Khan, and there is a king under the Great Khan, followed by the head of ten thousand households, and then there are thousands of household chiefs, even if the generals such as Zhang Rou and Ali Hague, who have made outstanding achievements, are only the first level of the head of ten thousand households, which is enough to see the high level of their taste, when the guard general of Yangjia Town, Hu Chi, also belongs to the head of ten thousand households, but it is because Hu Chi is a royal family relative,

Moreover, being able to join the Privy Council is something that Han generals usually don't even dare to think about.

Mongolia's Privy Council is Kublai Khan's fourth year in Zhongtong (Zhongtong, Kublai Khan's name after Khan, the fourth year of Zhongtong is 1263) May, following the Han system, set up a privy envoy, a member of the Privy Council, two members of the Privy Council, and a member of the Privy Council, of which the privy envoy is concurrently served by Yan Wang Zhenjin, but it is only a fictitious title, and the person who holds the real power in the Privy Council is the official of the Privy Council, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and the current position of the Privy Council is the old general Wuliang Hetai, and the two deputy envoys are An Tong and Atahai, Since the establishment of the Privy Council more than two years ago, this is the first time that a Han has served in it, not to mention that there are as many as three people, although they are all deputies.

Since Kublai Khan put down the rebellion of Ali Buge, the number of Han troops in Mongolia has reached more than 200,000, exceeding the number of Mongolian troops for the first time, Kublai Khan, who is proficient in Han culture, knows that in order to unify the world, it is necessary to use the Han people, and conquer the Han people with the power of the Han people as the best policy, Zhao Bi, Shi Tianze and other Han generals were mostly born in the reign of the Jin Dynasty, and the current Zhao regime of the Southern Dynasty does not have much intersection, these generals have followed Kublai Khan for a long time, upright, and loyal to themselves.

Although everyone was a little surprised that Liu Cheng was appointed as the governor of the water division, they had long developed the idea of despising the water master, which led to everyone being acceptable, and the three Han generals entering the Privy Council at the same time was a big surprise to the Mongolian kings and generals present, although Zhao Bi and Shi Tianze were both famous in battle.

Although the Mongols have a rough surname, they respect Kublai Khan, and even if they have opinions, they don't dare to show it easily in front of Kublai Khan, and the three people who are standing on the side know about it in advance, and they all agree with it, so their faces are the same as before,

Kublai Khan's eyes were like torches, he quickly glanced at the Mongolian generals in the room, and continued: "The three Aiqing, Pingshen, Liu Aiqing, whether you need manpower or financial and material resources, you can bring it up, if the emperor can't solve it, you can come directly to Ben Khan, Ben Khan gives you two years, be sure to create a naval division that can compete with the Southern Dynasty." ”

Liu Cheng said respectfully: "Yes, Great Khan, the ministers obey the order." ”

"Well, Liu Quan, you are very talented, Ben Khan heard that you once fought twelve brave people at night, crossed the trench and landed in the city, attacked the city of Jinguo, captured it, and was called Saicunxiao by Meng Shuai, there is such a thing."

When Liu Cheng saw Kublai Khan mention his glorious deeds, his eyes suddenly lit up and said: "Hui Great Khan, this is indeed the case." ”

Kublai Khan bowed his head and said: "As an aspiring soldier, if you want to succeed, the first thing is to have a stage where you can play freely, Meng Shuai back then could give you such a stage on a local scale, and now Ben Khan will also give you the same, and the biggest difference is that Ben Khan can give you this stage in an all-round way and provide all kinds of support, but whether it can succeed in the end depends on you." ”
