Chapter 286: Fill the loopholes and force the staff group
Yang Reform's words on the platform aroused the enthusiasm of the new soldiers in the two small rooms, and they only screamed, wanting to emulate the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, attack the East from afar, and reproduce the shocking words of "Those who commit crimes against my Han will be punished from afar", this is the highest ideal of the soldiers in the land of China!
…… In the platform, the emperor's words made the air in the platform hot, and the fight on the sand table also became "bloody".
After a while, Lei Dayong first walked out of the small room on the west side of the platform, full of shame, very frustrated, deaf and deaf, and said sadly to Yang Reform: "Your Majesty, the student lost ......" Saying, Lei Dayong couldn't hold back the tears of a few people here, and the horn fell down.
Wu Sangui's gang also came out of the small house on the east side of the platform over there, with a face full of joy, needless to say, they also knew that this time they won the sand table deduction, and according to what the emperor said before, they could become the first fighters of the new army.
"Your Majesty, the student was lucky and won once." Wu Sangui reported to the emperor with a proud look.
Yang Reform has been watching the live broadcast of the entire "StarCraft" game, the strength of both sides, Yang Reform knows in his heart, Wu Sangui really deserves to be the Wu Sangui in history, among his peers, he is the best, quite outstanding, although Lei Da used the people here to resist in every possible way, tried his best, and was finally completely defeated by Wu Sangui.
"Okay, men don't flick when they have tears, thunder is useful, don't be so fragile a few of you, be strong, be brave, lose this time, you can win back next time, you are young, it's not that you can't afford to lose, is crying what a man should do? Shedding skin and flesh without falling behind, shedding blood, sweat and not tears -- this is the courage that the new army should have. Don't be like a little daughter-in-law who has been wronged. Yang Reform didn't pay attention to Wu Sangui, and instead comforted Lei Dayong and others who were crying sadly.
Lei Dayong was really sad to "cry" with these few people, crying hard, his nose shrunk and shrunk, and tears fell down, and finally through pretending to be deep, he accumulated a little manly spirit, and now he is crying, showing his original form, which is a group of children.
Lei Dayong wiped his red eyes and said: "Your Majesty, the students know, the students remember His Majesty's teachings, 'Lose skin and flesh and don't fall behind, blood, sweat and tears', and must redouble their efforts to win back next time." Lei Da wiped his tears with a few people, his eyes were still red, and he could still see the traces of tears flowing on his face.
Wu Sangui is very proud, since he joined the new army, he has been taken care of by the emperor, and many times, the emperor seems to take care of himself intentionally, which makes Wu Sangui flattered! It is also a positive performance, striving to leave a good impression in front of the emperor. This time, I heard the emperor say, "Those who offend my Han Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away", and they want to follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and attack the Eastern Captives from afar, and he said that he must also be a marquis! The blood in Wu Sangui's heart was completely stimulated, and he vowed to be a "Wei Qing" and "Huo Quai" of the Ming Dynasty.
"Wu Sangui, you have won quite a wonderful victory this time, then, I also hope that in the future, you will be able to practice on the sand table in that place, you can anticipate the enemy first, fight quickly and powerfully, and be able to play the prestige of the new army, so that the enemy will tremble when he hears the name of the new army."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wu Sangui's group happily replied in unison.
"In view of your outstanding performance this time, I confer on you the title of Platform Squire of the Five People." Yang Reform suddenly said this inexplicable sentence.
Wu Sangui's people are all stunned, the title of platform attendant? What is it? They were selected from the new army to follow His Majesty's attendants, even the guards, they are also His Majesty's students, and they are studying with His Majesty, and now there is an additional word "platform", this ......, what is the platform for? Then the right one is called, that is where the emperor asked the minister about the strategy, and the title of the attendant of this platform, doesn't it mean that it has something to do with the right call and strategy? Wu Sangui's hearts beat violently, more excited than the one His Majesty said just now, "follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and attack the Huns from afar", the emperor really regarded them as Wei Qing, and Huo Quai's illness was in use! He said that the sealing of the wolf is not far away, and he said that the period of sealing the marquis is not far away.
"The trainee obeys the order, thank you, Your Majesty!!" Wu Sangui suddenly comprehended, and shouted loudly. Several other people also came to their senses and shouted together: "The trainee obeys the order, thank you, Your Majesty!" "The momentum is earth-shattering!
Lei Dayong looked at Wu Sangui and them in surprise and jealousy, the platform attendants! What a great honor this is, I missed out on the platform attendants, I missed the counterinsurgency in Shaanxi, and I missed all kinds of treatment in the future! Lei Dayong used a few people with remorse, and secretly gritted his teeth, he must work hard.
Sun Chengzong was also surprised that the emperor suddenly played the title of platform attendant, thought about it, suddenly understood something, nodded, smiled, the emperor has matured!
Bi Zisu was also surprised! But he was inexplicable, the emperor did this again, what is this for? He doesn't understand.
...... "Bi Aiqing, when you go to Shaanxi, the most important thing is to assist Master Xu to do a good job in immigration and disaster relief, escort Master Xu for me, protect their safety, and don't let the people unturn, traitors hurt the safety of immigration affairs, especially don't let them hurt the safety of immigration officers, this point, Bi Aiqing must keep in mind that immigration is related to the lifeblood of our dynasty, and if there is a slight mistake, there will be irreparable losses, so, Bi Aiqing, when you arrive in Shaanxi, please be careful more." ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister will do his best to do things for Your Majesty, assist Master Xu in handling the immigration matter, and let the people of Shaanxi know Your Majesty's benevolence." Bi Zisu agreed without hesitation.
"Good! …… Bi Aiqing, your strength is civil affairs, I know it, as for the military aspect, there may be many things I don't understand, I let these leaders of the new army, platform attendants assist you, so that you can handle military affairs more handy......" Yang Reform began to arrange his own ideas.
“…… When you go to Shaanxi, the first thing you have to do is to immediately kill a group of rebels who are angry and powerful, and show your determination and ability with a strong attitude, so that all the rebels in Shaanxi know that if you want to rebel, you must first see if your neck is hard enough, and you must create conditions for Master Xu's immigrants to gain time. If I can be appeased, I will not object, if I am willing to accept the appeasement, I can arrange for them to emigrate, if they are not willing to serve the people, I can arrange for them to go outside the customs to hunt the heads of the Eastern Captives, it is also possible, this, you can flexibly control this yourself......"
"Your Ministers obey."
"The cadets obeyed."
Bi Zisu and Wu Sangui agreed in unison.
"This time, Bi Zisu, you go to Shaanxi, you have to coordinate the soldiers and horses of the whole Shaanxi, strictly monitor the situation in various places, all prefectures, counties, and health stations need to report the local situation to you one by one, pay attention to emergencies at any time, and deal with all kinds of emergencies in a timely manner, involving civil uprisings, bandits, bandits, and rebels, immediately dispatch the local guards or new troops, immediately extinguish and suppress them, and never make the civil uprisings and various emergencies cause an uncontrollable situation. Shaanxi decides to deal with Shaanxi's military and political affairs, there is no need to ask me for instructions on everything, Shaanxi is too far away, and many things are too late to report to me here, it is too much time, all affairs must follow a quick word, and the problem is found on the same day, and it must not delay time......" Yang Reform began to instruct the details of the problem.
"Your Majesty, the subject is in the military road, not very transparent, Your Majesty has entrusted the minister with such a heavy responsibility, and the minister is afraid that he will have the heavy trust of His Majesty! The minister's own loss of life is small, but if it hurts His Majesty's major affairs, isn't the minister a sinner of my Ming Dynasty? Bi Zisu is an honest man, just now he was still saying that he didn't understand the military, but the emperor now wants him to deal with the problem on the same day, he doesn't even have a time to think about the problem, this is a problem, Bi Zisu has to say the problem, not understanding the military does not mean that he has no sense of responsibility.
"I've thought about it, you don't understand military affairs, it's really a problem, but it's not that there is no way to solve it, didn't I send you a few platform attendants? They have a very good set of research on warfare, and I asked Master Sun to draw a group of leaders from the new army, cooperate with the platform attendants, and form a military staff group, which is hung under Master Sun's staff department, specifically to help you collect military and political intelligence from all over the country, analyze the military information reported to the ground, and help you put forward a response plan for emergencies. You still have to work military politics, you have to study more, ponder more, and become familiar with military and political affairs as soon as possible, do you understand? ”
Yang Genghe spent a long time thinking about it, and finally told the details of Shaanxi's military arrangements, that is, to let Sun Chengzong, an invisible "staff department", expand its branch, and start to play a role, adding an insurance to the disadvantages of the Ming Dynasty's literati leading the army.
This is also a helpless thing, the Ming Dynasty since the change of the civil fort, the literati led the army has become a trend, so that the people who lead the army to fight, are halfway monks, to fight, completely rely on the self-learning ability of the literati, meet a strong self-learning ability, when fighting a little spectrum, if you meet that kind of pedantic people, the result of the war is only God knows.
"Master Sun, your staff department, this time, from the new army in Shaanxi to guard, select a group of outstanding people, and together with Wu Sangui and several of their platform attendants, form a staff group, and go to Shaanxi to assist Bi Zisu in handling military affairs, provide reference, and provide decision-making, with Wu Sangui as the chief of staff of the staff group." It took Yang Reform a long time to erect this staff system, and only then did he forcibly stuff this staff system to the governor of Shaanxi.
"The minister commands." Sun Chengzong understood what the emperor meant. Sun Chengzong used to get the name of a bald "General Staff", in this General Staff, although the emperor had also said before that the officials of those cabinets and ministries were counted among the members of the General Staff, but later it was abandoned and there was no follow-up.
"Good! As for whether the new army will be divided into several parts or used by 5,000 people at the same time, the staff committee will put forward plans and opinions, and Bi Zisu will decide, so I won't ask too much. Yang Gai once again reiterated his assumption, that is, the staff committee made recommendations, and the chief officer decided, which was the same as the staff system of later generations, so that as long as there was a more reliable staff group, even if the military chief officer did not understand military affairs, when fighting, he would not be too unreliable.
Of course, in order to reflect the important surname of the staff group, Yang Gai also awarded Wu Sangui the title of five platform attendants, in order to support the staff committee and make Bi Zisu pay attention to the opinions of the staff group. This is also something that cannot be helped, who makes it a civilian to be in charge and command the military? And few literati understand military affairs. Judging from the current national conditions of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to change the current status quo, and Yang Reform had to arrest a person and then forcibly stuff the staff system to him, with the disadvantages of the staff system being insufficient for civilian leaders. It was also Yang Reform who was lucky to meet his own people like Bi Zisu, and met an honest and upright person like Bi Zisu, who did not resist this kind of staff system and put forward too big opinions.
"Your Ministers obey." Several people answered at the same time.
"I will talk about the military expenses, food and supplies for this dispatch, and you all know that I have not discussed the military expenses with my ministers. Regarding military expenses, food, and supplies, I will supply them from the internal treasury, and the military salaries of the new army will be implemented in the war system, one-third will be sent to individuals, one-third will be saved, and the remaining one-third will be directly issued to military dependents, and those who do not have military dependents will also be saved. ”
Some people are puzzled by the emperor's approach.
"Your Majesty, why is this the way it is issued? It has always been that when you go into battle, the military salary is directly paid to the officers and soldiers, and if you don't pay the military salaries to the officials and soldiers, you are afraid that the officers and soldiers will make trouble! Bi asked in confusion.
"Hehe, this is very simple, the soldier's hand is very scattered, if you don't save some money for him, he will be discharged from the army, he is a single, and if he can't marry a daughter-in-law, won't he have to be a bachelor for a lifetime? Now that I am young, the salary of a soldier is high, and I can save some money, and when I retire later, I can also use the money to marry a daughter-in-law or something, and live with peace of mind, isn't it? When a soldier is in the army, he doesn't spend money on food, clothing, housing and transportation, so why give him so much money? There are also military families, your money is sent directly to the hands of the soldiers, and the hands of the soldiers are scattered, and they will be spent in a few days, and there are old and young people in the family, and they are still waiting for his military salary to buy rice for the pot, how can you not leave him another third? How not to send it to military families? The people raise their children to prevent old age, and when their sons are rich and don't support their families, why do I want such unfilial soldiers? Yang Gengai explained with a smile.
Everyone suddenly realized, no wonder the emperor wanted to do this, it turned out to be a soldier! That's right, now that the soldier can't marry a daughter-in-law, everyone knows that the salary of the new army is indeed high, and it should indeed save some for the future, so it can be regarded as solving the "worries" of being a soldier, and who can afford the charge of unfilial piety? It will be distributed to military families in parts!
"The minister understands, thank you Your Majesty for solving your doubts, the minister has benefited a lot." Bi Zisu said with admiration.
"Hehe, this matter, when it is first implemented, you may encounter some resistance, you go back, you must make it clear to the new army, I am for their good, they can't be young for a lifetime, and they can't fight on the battlefield for a lifetime, wait for a few years, retire, take the money saved, I will add another sum to him, let him go home well, buy a few acres of good land, marry a good daughter-in-law, and live a good life, understand? In my new army, if I hear that there are old and young people in the family who do not raise them, and take my military salary and spend all day and wine, I can't spare him, understand? Yang Reform said to Wu Sangui and Lei Dayong with a few people.
"The cadets understand. Remember Your Majesty's teachings. Wu Sangui, Lei Dayong was unusually warm in the hearts of several people, and agreed in unison.
Sun Chengzong looked at the emperor with a hint of a smile, felt very comforted, and nodded slightly, the emperor has really grown up and knows how to win people's hearts, which is a good thing.
Yang Reform is so arranged, it is also meaningful, the military expenditure of the new army, is really too big, only 20,000 new troops, the annual expenditure is 2 million taels, not counting the expenses of the war, Yang Reform also wants to beat off the wild boar skin, strangle the Mongols, and even expedition to the South Seas, even Australia, and even the Americas, to make the Pacific Ocean an inland lake, the military force required is a rather large number, Yang Reform only calculated a little, and felt that he could not afford it, so, I began to plan to recruit some conscripts, and to engage in conscripts, at least one of them, was to change people's perception of being a soldier. And this soldier can marry a daughter-in-law, can support a family, can have a little achievement, including the requirement of literacy, is what Yang Reform is currently trying to do, and when this batch of new troops is retired, Yang Reform will arrange for some people with military merits to become county lieutenants, deputy county lieutenants, or become head hunters, in the countryside, will become a small country leader such as the chief of security, a chief, etc., and become an existence with a little identity in the countryside, so as to attract the children of peasant families to enter their new army, and use this as a bait to recruit some conscripts to relieve their financial pressure. On the other hand, it is also a trick to expand their influence in the countryside, historically, the imperial power is not under the county, now, it is possible to recruit new troops, recruit compulsory soldiers, put their hands, stretched out to the feudal dynasty has never been involved in the field, no matter what they do in the future, in the countryside, there will be a large number of supporters, followers, this will be a big capital in the future. Farmers in the countryside have the least expectation, and they can have a decent identity in the countryside, which is the object that many farmers yearn for, and they can exchange the greatest benefits for the least price.
