Chapter 49 Division of Labor
Li Maochun was in charge of logistics and military supplies, but logistics matters did not need to command so many combat troops, and after a few discussions, Li Maochun only kept a hundred combat troops, including his own soldiers, and the rest of the insufficient manpower was filled by wounded soldiers who could no longer fight.
Similarly, Zhang Mingxian was in charge of the training of the troops, and there was no need to command so many actual combat troops, Zhang Mingxian was even more straightforward, leaving only fifty personal soldiers, and handing over the rest to Heiyunhe.
After the division of labor, everyone suddenly discovered a problem, that is, everyone's power was greater than before, and then they found that they couldn't manage so many things by themselves.
For example, Li Maochun is in charge of logistics.
There are many and complicated logistics matters, it can be said that eating, drinking, and Lazar do not care, if you want to straighten out so many things clearly, it is definitely not enough to rely on Li Maochun alone, and you must have the help of people who have read books.
But now there is only one clerk in the army, and this person still has to stay by Heiyunhe's side to do things, so the army must recruit a few more scholars to help.
Similarly, due to the lack of two guerrilla generals, everything had to be handled by Hei Yunhe alone, and Hei Yunhe found that he was also too busy.
Zhang Mingxian's affairs were simpler, but it was obviously impossible for him to train a force of 2,000 people by himself.
The three of them were a little confused for a while, obviously this division of labor is very reasonable, how can such a problem occur?
Listening to the questions of the three, Yang He smiled.
Then Yang He told everyone that to manage so many soldiers well, no matter how strong their ability is, they can't manage it on their own, and only by giving full play to the role of the grassroots officers below can they manage it.
Yang He gave an example to everyone, for example, Zhang Mingxian trained the troops, and Zhang Mingxian, as the chief instructor, did not need to train the soldiers personally, but did a good job in training regulations, and the specific training matters should be done by his own soldiers.
At present, there are more than 2,300 troops in the unit, and excluding the wounded soldiers and personal soldiers, there are less than 1,800 people left.
There are more than 100 people at a sentry, there are a total of 18 sentry posts, Zhang Mingxian has 50 personal soldiers in his hands, a group of two, a group of training a sentry man, only 36 people need to be arranged to complete the training task of these eighteen sentry soldiers, and the rest of the people can follow Zhang Mingxian to check the training situation.
This method can also be used for the logistical matters that Li Maochun is responsible for, as long as the logistical matters are classified into categories, and then each matter is handed over to one person to be in charge, and Li Maochun only needs to take care of these people.
The affairs that Hei Yunhe is responsible for are a little more complicated than the two of them, but the management methods are similar.
That is, the details are left to the people below to do, there are so many sentinels and thousands of generals in the army, and these people can call the shots on many small things, and they don't have to ask him for instructions on everything, Heiyunhe is only responsible for grasping major matters and managing the officers at the grassroots level.
Decentralization not only reduces their burden, but also has the advantage that the people below who are responsible for specific matters have a certain amount of power in their hands and are more loyal to them. However, this also requires that the people below who are responsible for specific matters must have considerable ability, otherwise, it will only be counterproductive.
Listening to Yang He's words, Hei Yunhe and the others all nodded their heads, and at the same time admired Yang He.
Yang He just smiled at everyone's praise.
Yang He knows very well in his heart that some things are easier said than done.
First of all, the power is delegated to the grassroots officers below, and the chief general must have the wisdom of knowing people, and cannot arrange mediocre talents.
Second, it is necessary to know people well and arrange things that are suitable for officers according to their abilities.
Finally, you must be able to control the people below.
The last point is actually the most critical, if you can't control people, then all you do is to make wedding dresses for others.
And in order to make the people below obediently obey orders, two things must be mastered, one is financial power, and the other is personnel power.
At present, the financial power has been firmly grasped by Yang He, and the people who manage the money are his people.
As for the personnel appointment below, Yang He doesn't want to get involved for the time being, and he doesn't have the ability to get involved, because he doesn't have any available people in his hands, and he doesn't know the people below. In this case, it is better to hand over the personnel power to Hei Yunhe and others.
Now Hei Yunhe and Zhang Mingxian have ready-made people available in their hands, but Li Maochun has no one available in their hands.
Because logistics needs someone to keep accounts, the people who do this errand must not only be literate, but also know arithmetic, but there are few people in the army who are literate, let alone arithmetic, that is, Li Maochun's subordinates can only recruit outside.
After thinking about it, Yang He said: "Three elder brothers, tomorrow the second brother and the third brother will stay at home, and my eldest brother and I will go to Funing County to buy land, and then bring the soldiers' families back, and do something else by the way." ”
Hei Yunhe and Zhang Mingxian also knew that the four of them couldn't all leave at this time, so they nodded immediately.
The four of them discussed again, and then Hei Yunhe and the others went to hand over the troops, and Yang He didn't want to participate in the appointment of officers for the time being, so he returned to Sun Defu's camp alone.
Seeing Yang He coming back, the soldiers hurriedly turned the coals in the brazier and poured a bowl of water for Yang He.
Yang He smiled and nodded.
Sitting down by the brazier, Yang He thought silently.
The Ming army can only defend passively now, and it will definitely not be able to launch an offensive against Jianyu in a short period of time. However, the imperial court would not let go of the tens of thousands of defeated soldiers withdrawn from the Guannai, and must make arrangements for these troops, including Yang He's troops.
But how will the imperial court arrange these troops?
Judging from the fact that the imperial court appointed Zhang Heming to come to Liaodong, and Zhang Heming had not arrived at Shanhaiguan after walking for more than ten days, Zhang Heming should have not figured out what to do after arriving at Shanhaiguan, otherwise, he would have arrived a long time ago.
Shaking his head, Yang He sighed lightly, he didn't know how the imperial court would arrange it, so he couldn't make a plan.
After pondering for a while, Yang He asked Li Wei to find Zhang Shun.
But I can't make a plan, but there's still a lot to do. For example, buying land, arranging for soldiers' families, and so on.
These things are done to stabilize the morale of the soldiers, and at the same time let the soldiers have no worries.
The reason why he chose to buy land in this place was naturally considered.
The east of here is the Shanhaiguan, if the Shanhaiguan can not be held, then the door of the Ming Dynasty will be completely opened, and the capital of the Ming Dynasty will no longer have a barrier. No matter how stupid the officials of the imperial court are, they also know that they must go all out to defend the Shanhaiguan, so there is no need to worry about the security here. And it is far away from the mainland, there are not so many messy things, and the people can live with peace of mind.
In addition, Yang He has a map of the future in his mind, although this place is very desolate, but Yang He knows that this place should be the Qinhuangdao of the later generations. To the south of Qinhuangdao is the Bohai Sea, and before the wasteland was developed, the sea could feed these people.
With mountains to the north, land in the middle, and the sea to the south, where can you find such a good place?
After a while, Zhang Shun followed Li Wei to the camp tent.
"Mr. Qian." After entering the camp tent, Zhang Shun hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted Yang He.
"Brother Zhang, come and sit down." Yang He said with a smile.
Zhang Shun hurriedly said that he didn't dare.
Yang He smiled and pulled Zhang Shun to sit down beside him.
Seeing that Zhang Shun was restrained, Yang He was not verbose, and said directly: "That's the case, tomorrow I will go to Funing County to pick up the soldiers' families, but the soldiers under my command are all family soldiers, and I don't know the families of those soldiers, so you bring the brothers in the sentry to go with me tomorrow." ”
"That's it?" Zhang Shun wondered.
Yang He smiled and nodded.
"Can you send someone to give you an order for this little thing?" Zhang Shun wondered.
Yang He shook his head: "Brother Zhang, I'm going to send someone to tell you directly, what do others think of you?" ”
Sighing softly, Yang He continued: "Brother Zhang, the relationship between us is no better than others, I brought you here, in fact, I want to tell others that you are my close person, so that no one dares to snub you." ”
Zhang Shun said with emotion: "My brothers and I thought that the eldest brother had forgotten the brothers, but I didn't expect the eldest brother to remember us all the time." ”
"Brothers, blame me for not visiting them, right?" Yang He smiled and continued: "Brother Zhang, many things are not as simple as you think, do you think that when I eat with others, I am close to them?" Not eating with you is alienating you? If that's the case, wouldn't it be a joke that we live and die together for so many days? ”
Zhang Shun nodded silently when he heard this.
Yang He continued: "In the army, there are not many people I can trust, except for the three of them, as well as Li Wei and Sun Defu, the brothers of the guard battalion, the rest are you brothers, and I can only rest assured that some things are handed over to you." ”
"We people can be promoted and make fortunes all because of the eldest brother, and we must be loyal to the eldest brother." Zhang Shun said hurriedly.
"Your big brother is good, which means that you still treat me as a brother." Yang He said with a smile.
Zhang Shun looked at Yang He and suddenly asked, "Big brother, do you have something embarrassing for us to do?" You can rest assured, whether it is murder or arson, as long as you command, the brother will never frown. ”
Yang He smiled: "There is indeed something for you to do, but not now, and it is not murder and arson." ”
"That's robbing women? Whose girl does the eldest brother fancie? I'll bring someone to grab it for you right away! Zhang Shun said.
Immediately, Zhang Shunzhao patted his mouth lightly: "How could the eldest brother do such a thing?" I really deserve to be beaten with this mouth! ”
Yang He looked funny, but he was a little moved in his heart, and reached out and gently patted Zhang Shun's shoulder.
After thinking about it, Yang He asked, "Brother Zhang, how long have you not been home?" ”
"It's been almost a year." Zhang Shundao.
"It's been a year, and it's not a short time." Yang He sighed.
With a wave of his hand, Yang He continued: "In this way, accompany me to finish my errands tomorrow, and then I will give you two months off and go back to see your family." ”
"Really?" Zhang Shun was overjoyed when he heard this.
Yang He smiled: "What? Afraid that my words won't work? ”
"Hey, how come? Now who doesn't know that you are in charge of the army? Zhang Shun said with a smile.
Yang He's face was solemn when he heard this: "Don't talk nonsense, it is the black ginseng general in the army who is in charge, when will it be my turn to call the shots?" ”
"But it's ......"
Yang He waved his hand to stop Zhang Shun's words: "Brother Zhang, you have to remember that there are some things that you just know in your heart, and you must not say it, if it spreads, it will cause trouble." ”
