Chapter 103: Reorganizing the Army

In order to quickly digest the army left by Ramado in Plov, Qin Dong quickly sent people to reorganize those armies, on the one hand, he rewarded several commanders of the army, and at the same time transferred them from the original troops to reappoint, and on the other hand, the army was reorganized and trained, which was the fastest and most effective way to digest those armies.

At the same time, Qin Dong sent people to take over the territory and appoint officials to govern, and now Qin Dong separated the political affairs and military affairs in the defense area and the territory, and the local officials were responsible for governing the place, and the responsibility of the military officials was to guard the local security, and the two did not interfere with each other.

In fact, in ancient times, many local officials themselves were military chiefs, this system is conducive to the unification of the military and the government, and plays a great role in extraordinary times, but in many cases it is unfavorable, which is easy to cause the situation of warlord secession to gradually form, so Qin Dong began to take precautions at this stage to prevent it from happening.

The matter of taking over the Plov region went very smoothly, Qin Dong sent Ma Li to lead troops to guard the Plov area, with Zheli as his deputy, Zheli was the captain of the reconnaissance cavalry team before, and now he was promoted to centurion by Qin Dong, as Ma Li's deputy, he mainly commanded two hundred archers and cavalry troops, these people were re-recruited from the Xiongnu herdsmen, and the other towns guarding the Puro area were Ma Li's three hundred heavy infantry, and there were also eight hundred infantry from the Pana region, all of whom were trained by Qin Dong's newly appointed chief training officer Duoyin, The command was in the hands of Ma Li, and all the troops that originally belonged to Ramado were transferred out of the Plov region and stationed in Pazar, and under Qin Dong's nose, after being reorganized, these troops were quickly trained.

According to the military regulations of the Huns, the commander can only command a team of 1,000 people, these are the formal army establishment, but in the border area, the commander of the military commander of this level will not have only one thousand cavalry team, Qin Dong will report the cavalry quota of 1,000 people, and use other armies as auxiliaries, these auxiliaries are not formally armed, but here in Qindong, their treatment is the same as that of officers and soldiers in the formal army establishment, and some branches of the army are better than the formal treatment.

Qin Dong reported that the official army of 1,000 people were all archers, and originally there were only 400 archers under him, but after Qin Dong got the armies of Vatur and Ramado, the cavalry under his command increased, and from these armies, soldiers with superb horse kung fu and horsemanship were selected to join the archer cavalry troops, and a total of 1,000 people were gathered.

In order to facilitate the command, Qin Dong adopted the principle of the three-three system, and divided the thousand people into three parts, each of these three parts has more than 300 troops, respectively commanded by Su He, Muren, and Tuolong, they are all cavalry generals, and after Qin Dong's training and guidance, they have rich practical experience in the training and combat tactics of the archers, and he is very relieved to hand over the archers to the commanders of these three people, Batu's escort team has also expanded to 300 people, 100 people are archers, and the second 100-person team is a light cavalry with strong combat effectiveness, These two hundred-man cavalry teams are the most well-equipped, whether it is individual combat effectiveness or collective combat ability is the most powerful in the whole army, the other hundred-man team is infantry, this hundred-man team is mainly responsible for daily standing guard and patrolling, when Qin Dong is working in the camp, he is responsible for guarding the guards, guarding, patrolling, if Qin Dong goes out, the close escort task is responsible for the light cavalry hundred-man team, and the surrounding patrol and vigilance task is handed over to the archers.

Qin Dong's total strength now has about 3,600 people, he originally had about 1,000 people, and received 400 cavalry, 800 infantry and 200 slave cavalry from Vatur's direct troops, and after the battle of Bataka Lake, he received 1,100 people from Ramado, so the total strength now has more than 3,600 people.

Su He, Muren, and Tuolong each commanded a battalion of elite cavalry, a total of 1,000 people, Batu commanded 300 escorts, Ma Li commanded 1,100 infantry, and Afalde commanded 300 heavy cavalry, and finally there were 900 people, of which 600 were reorganized into light cavalry by Qin Dong, and he himself served as the commander, dividing the 600 light cavalry into two battalions, each with 300 people, the combat effectiveness of the light cavalry of these two battalions was mainly reflected in close combat, and their task was to break up the enemy army formation in the heavy cavalry, The archers carried out a large number of casualties on the enemy and then carried out close cover, and they were also responsible for the pursuit mission, and finally 300 people were reorganized into a baggage battalion, if there was a war, this baggage battalion could recruit some herders or farmers to help transport baggage supplies, and the soldiers of the baggage battalion were responsible for protecting military supplies, and the main means of transport were horses and carriages.

The security of the territory is patrolled by a thousand elite archers before the other armies have completed thorough reorganization and training, and in fact, the training of this thousand archers has not been completed, but the three battalions are much earlier than the other troops, and they can patrol while training.

Now half of the area of Pazar and Plov is the direct territory of Qindong, and in this territory Qindong can manage the people on the territory, while the other half of the land of Plov and the Pana region, as well as the territories of Tinis and Sankundo, although they are also Qindong's defense areas, they are not his territory, and he can only send troops to garrison, but he cannot manage the government affairs of these areas.

If it was not in its own territory, government affairs were managed by officials sent by the Skirs, who were only responsible for defense and had command over the Skil army and the attached Germanic armies in the defense area, but in the defense area of Qindong, the Skir officials had to pay regular gold, silver, cattle, sheep, horses, and grain to Qindong as military supplies, as was the case elsewhere.

In the territory of Qindong, all military and political decrees must be conveyed in the form of official documents, which is not available elsewhere in the Xiongnu Empire at present, because the Huns and some other Hu people have no written language, only villages and tribes and no cities, and some military and political decrees are transmitted orally by messengers or heralds, which is easy to cause problems or cause confusion.

Since Liu San's popularization of Chinese has just begun, Qin Dong issued an order to use Latin as the official language in the next two years, and officially adopt Chinese as the official language two years later. Qin Dong had to order that all officers and administrative officers in Panar must spend three hours every night at Liu San to learn Chinese.

The work of spreading civilization is not a day or two, nor a year or two can be done, this is a long-term and arduous work, Qin Dong feels that there are too few talents under his hands, especially there are too few Han people, and the only people who can help are Liu San, Wang Liu and Ma Li, and now there is no other way for the time being, but to take one step at a time, if you want to find more Han people in this Europe, it is not impossible, there are many Han people in Constantinople, there are not only Han slaves, but also Han rich merchants, There are also Han families who migrated from the Central Plains to escape disasters.

In addition, Qin Dong's mother has been staying in Constantinople, Qin Dong doesn't know if the woman remarried after their father and son were taken captive by the Huns, and now that he has a place to live here, he also wants to take that woman over to live together, these things are improvised, Qin Dong thinks that the matter of going to Constantinople must be put on the agenda, on the one hand, to bring his mother in, on the other hand, to find more Han people to join his team, only with other learned Han people to join, The progress of his spread of Chinese civilization can be accelerated, and the learned Greeks and Romans are also what he very much hopes to get, in Europe in this era, Qin Dong appreciates the Western architecture, art and medicine, Western architecture is indeed a must, and the surgery of Roman doctors in this era can indeed save many wounded soldiers on the battlefield.
