Chapter 375: Reception and Reorganization
After receiving the news that the envoy had signed an agreement with Sambus, Qin Dong immediately ordered the two divisions that had been waiting at the border to go to the territory of Sambus, this time the main commander would be Attila's former guard captain Lorid, the current commander of the Eighth Army, in terms of seniority, Lorid and Sambus are equal, and the two are also old friends.
After the two cavalry divisions entered Sambus's territory, Sambus immediately took his officials and generals out of the city to greet him, and the specifications were quite high, on the one hand, to save face for his old friend, and on the other hand, to show his sincerity and importance to the garrison commander Lored Ed.
The two old friends were very happy to see each other, the two sides put their arms together, looked at each other and laughed, Sambus looked at Lored's bright and delicate armor, and the defense was very good, the red helmet, and various ingenious designs on the armor added a bit of heroism to the people wearing the armor, and said with some envy: "Lored, you kid is developed now, look, look, a good thing!" ”
Lored smiled and said with some pride: "It's nothing, this kind of armor can be made in large quantities in our place, but only generals of my level are qualified to wear it, if it weren't for the prescribed reasons, I can give you a set!" By the way, why did you make such a big show today, I can't afford it! ”
"Hahaha!" Sambus smiled: "Worthy of it, you are an angel of the royal court, of course you can afford it, let's go, follow me to the camp, I have prepared wine and meat, let's talk while eating!" ”
Who knew that Lored raised his hand and refused politely: "I have understood the heart of Brother Sambus, and I will repay it in the future." Today, I'm here to take over the military power, or do the business first, and then we will continue the old relationship after finishing the business. Please ask Brother Sambus to hand over to me! ”
Sambus was helpless, stretched out his finger and pointed at Lored, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I knew you would be like this, I have already prepared it for you, let's go, let's go to the barracks together!" ”
"Brother Sambus, please!" Lored made a gesture, and then ordered the two divisions that followed him to stay where they were, and the commanders of each division led the troops to control the order of the army. He took only his own guard, a thousand cavalry, and followed Sambus to the large camp to receive the military power.
The cavalry moved quickly, and in only ten minutes, under the guidance of Sambus and his subordinate officials, they soon arrived at Sambus's army camp.
Just entered the camp. Lored saw that there were already dense cavalry waiting in the wide open space in the middle of the camp, and he didn't know how long so many cavalry had been waiting here.
The camp was noisy and there were too many people, although some people just whispered. But the loudness of so many people coming together is very loud. When the cavalry here found Sambus entering with a large number of strange troops, they knew that someone had come from the royal court.
The cavalry had long known that Sambus had reached an agreement with the royal court to return to the royal court, and from then on, Sambus was no longer in control of the army, leaving only 1,000 cavalry and 1,000 infantry as escorts, and the control of the other armies had to be handed over to the royal court.
After stopping, Sambus said to Lored, "Lored, look. Here are fifteen thousand cavalry, and another twenty thousand. Of the 10,000 cavalry here, the 1,000 on the southwestern border bordering the Roman Gaul province to the north, and the other 10,000 on the southeastern border bordering the Ostrogoths and Gerpidians, of the 15,000 cavalry here, the 1,000 centaurs on the far left are the ones I am going to stay behind as escorts, and as for the 1,000 infantry, I am going to recruit and train them separately, and the other 14,000 cavalry will be under your command from now on! ”
Lored nodded and said: "Then please ask Brother Sambus to come to the stage and explain clearly, lest you arrogant soldiers and fierce generals disobey, and when the time comes, you and I will not be able to explain to the royal court."
Sambus thought about it and thought that this was the case, so he dismounted and walked up to the point general platform to face the 14,000 cavalry below, and Lored also followed up with a few guards.
Sambus introduced Lored to these soldiers, and claimed that from now on Lored would command them, and that he himself would only be the king of the Southern Courtyard with peace of mind, in charge of political affairs, and would no longer be involved in military affairs, and he would no longer have anything to do with these people, and then retreated to the side to give up his position to Lored.
Lored stepped forward to introduce himself, and announced that from now on he commanded all the armies here, he repeated to these generals and soldiers the order from the royal court, the original generals, officers are all retained, the salary is higher than before, the soldiers from now on to get a fixed salary, every month at a fixed time to get a fixed salary, the amount of military pay is the same as the soldiers of the other main forces of the Xiongnu Empire, and there are spoils to divide if they win the war.
The generals, officers and soldiers were very happy after hearing this, you must know that the Hun soldiers here are all slaves, and their whole people are Sambus's, so it is an obligation to fight for Sambus, there is no military pay at all, even in the case of winning the battle, only when Sambus is happy, he will reward each soldier with two sheep or something else, so in fact, the life of the Hun cavalry is actually very hard, and now I heard that you can get a fixed salary every month in the future, and you can also share the spoils of war if you win the battle, Such a generous treatment is something they never dared to think of before, Lored only used these few words to completely control this army, in this era is not better than the later generations, in this era whoever treats the soldiers well, the soldiers will listen to whom, but this will not be the case in the later generations, ideological education makes the army even if it is poor, there will be few mutinies.
However, after Lored announced the treatment of army generals, officers and soldiers, he immediately announced that he would carry out training, that is to say, the establishment of the army should be the same as other armies, and the 14,000 cavalry here are all composed of 100 cavalry, 1,000 cavalry, and 10,000 cavalry, which is the old establishment of the past, and such an establishment is not conducive to the current war operations, so it must be reorganized, and after the reorganization, like other military establishments, such changes have more demand for officers, so the generals and officers here need to be retained. In addition, a number of soldiers must be promoted to serve as officers, but these people must first undergo intensive training and study, and must adapt to leading and commanding the newly established army.
The previous establishment was a 10,000 cavalry commander with a deputy cavalry commander, and another 10,000 cavalry commanders, a 1,000 cavalry commander with a deputy 1000 cavalry commander and 10 hundred cavalry commanders, and a 100 cavalry commander under a 100 cavalry commander, and the army after the reorganization into a new establishment, there are two deputy division commanders and four regiment commanders under a division commander, of course, some divisions may only have three regiments, and some have five regiments, it depends on the size and type of the division, if it is a super-large division, there are generally five regiments, However, if it is only a provisional division, there may be only three regiments, or it may have only two regiments, with two deputy regiment commanders and four battalion commanders below the regiment commander, and two deputy battalion commanders and four group leaders under one battalion commander, two deputy squadron leaders and four squadron leaders under one squadron leader, and two deputy squadron leaders and four captains under one squadron leader.
This kind of establishment makes many of the generals and officers here want to be promoted, and there are also some officers whose positions are basically unchanged, but Qin Dong will not let all these officers stay in this unit, which is not conducive to command, a large number of officers will be transferred, some are promoted, and some are transferred, in order not to cause resistance from these officers and generals, Qin Dong stipulated that the temporary principle is not to be demoted, and after a period of time after the completion of the training, the whole army will conduct a big competition, and see the results of the big competition, the capable will go up, and the incompetent will go down, and no one will have anything to say at that time.
Lored was a resolute man, he said he would do it, and immediately sent some officers from the army he brought to teach the officers and generals here to teach the newly established army training methods and command arts, and also sent some low-level officers to the soldiers here for training.
As soon as Sambus saw that Lored had begun to take over the training, and he had nothing to do, he told Lored that he was leaving to return to the palace, and the one here would be handed over to him.
Sambus readily agreed, found two henchmen from the people he brought, and took out his talisman and handed it to Lored, who immediately handed it to the two division commanders he brought after taking the talisman, and asked them to lead the army to the southeast and southwest borders to exchange guards with Sambus's two 10,000 cavalry there, and at the same time reorganize the two 10,000 cavalry, and Sambus's two henchmen accompanied him with Sambus's personal tokens.
Two days later, the training situation here has been on the right track, and the good news has also come from the southeast and southwest borders, and the change of guard is very smooth, after all, Sambus has already been vaccinated with his generals and officers, and the reorganization of the other two 10,000 cavalry has also begun, and it is a local reorganization, and the original generals and officers will all go to the town where Sambus is located for collective training and study, and then assign to specific posts after they are qualified.
A few days later, Qin Dong in Saidika received an eight-hundred-mile rush sent by Lored, and after learning that the handover with Sambus was very smooth, and the reorganization of the original Sambus army was also very good, Qin Dong was relieved, but he was not happy now, Sambus was solved, but there was also a Urgan, that was not a very good talker, after thinking about it, after some weighing, Qin Dong still thought that in order to solve the problem of Urgan, it was necessary to fight, and if he didn't fight, he couldn't do it. The problem of separating the feudal towns without fighting Urgan will not be solved, but it is just early spring, which is not a good time to fight, and the spring and summer wars are prone to plagues, and it is necessary to wait a few months until the autumn is high and cool before sending troops.
