Chapter 308: Military Reform
Early the next morning, dozens of core personnel from the civil and military sides of the Shang and Ji forces gathered in the Taishou Mansion.
"After the concerted efforts of all the robes during this time, as well as the gentlemen Deng and Yan, our army has finally gained a firm foothold in Liaodong, here, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone in advance!"
Shang Ji got up, looked at the people under his command, and bowed slightly.
"The lord is honored, this is our duty!" Everyone stood up and saluted back.
After a polite remark, Shang Ji made a brief opening remark: "Trusted by the imperial court, Duke Zhang was wrongly loved, and entrusted the land of Liaodong to Ji. Liaodong is located in the border, things are complicated, Ji knows that virtue is thin and talented, panicked, deeply afraid of negative trust expectations of the imperial court, all the monarchs are talented, what is the high theory, please but say it is okay, Ji Zi should listen to it! ”
"The prince of the house has an order, and his subordinates dare not disobey, since this is the case, it is up to Yi to come first to offer ugliness and throw bricks and jade!"
As soon as Shang Ji's words fell, Liu Yi, who was sitting on the left hand of Shang Ji, stood up.
"Brother, please speak up!" Shang Ji waved his hand and nodded to Liu Yi.
"Fujun, all the robes!"
Liu Yi coughed lightly, hugged his fists at everyone, and then continued: "As we all know, my Liaodong is a border county, adjacent to Xianbei Xizhen Wuhuan in the north, and there are Goguryeo and other alien races in Xuansu County to the east. ”
"In the last month, the Xianbei thieves invaded our county on a large scale, looting property and killing people. And the performance of my Liaodong soldiers can be called a shame for soldiers! ”
Speaking of this, Liu Yi was even more angry and looked around at everyone.
Although this soldier's shame was not said by the generals here, but when Liu Yi glanced at it like this, everyone was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, and they all looked at it.
"Hu Lu was wreaking havoc outside, but the soldiers of Liaodong County could only retreat in the city and blindly defend, watching the people being slaughtered. If it weren't for the courage of the prince of the mansion and standing up, the tragic situation of Liaodong County would be unimaginable! The subordinates believe that the time has come when the armament of Liaodong must be thoroughly rectified! ”
Liu Yi's voice was impassioned, mixed with a hint of excitement, the large-scale rectification of the military and political affairs in Liaodong was a grand event that Liu Yi had been looking forward to for several years, and now that he saw it, it was about to become a reality, how could he not be excited?
"What the county lieutenant said is very much in line with my heart, what do you think?"
The plan jointly proposed by the big boss and the second boss, at this time, what can the generals say except shouting that the king is wise? What's more, as Liu Yi said, Liaodong County's armament has indeed reached the point where it has to be changed, and it can't be changed if it is not changed.
"County Lieutenant, I wonder if you have a preliminary rectification plan?" Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Shang Jiyou turned to Liu Yi and asked.
"Mansion Jun Mingjian, subordinates have a simple rectification here, and please take a look at it!"
As he spoke, Liu Yi took out a booklet and was about to hand it to Shang Ji.
Shang Ji waved his hand and said, "The county lieutenant should say it directly, and please refer to everyone here!" ”
In fact, Shang Ji knew the general content of Liu Yi's booklet. Naturally, it is necessary to hold a meeting with the core subordinates at the highest level to hold such a meeting, and the plan for rectifying military affairs was made before the meeting began.
Liu Yi didn't postpone it, put the booklet on the table, and said directly: "First of all, the next plan is to divide the army in Liaodong County into two parts, the first part is to garrison the counties, which are usually responsible for maintaining law and order, protecting the safety of past business travelers, and exterminating small groups of bandits and rebels. Accept the conscription in wartime and go to battle with the main force as a support force! For the time being, this part of the army will be called the Guards. ”
As for the second part, it is to select the elite soldiers in Liaodong County and integrate and train them, most of them live in Xiangping and directly accept the management of the government, and a small number of them are stationed in various dangerous passes in Liaodong County. It is mainly used to resist external obscurity or encircle and suppress large rebellions that cannot be handled by the guards alone. For the time being, this part of the army is called the war army or the main army. ”
Seeing that everyone was listening intently to what he was saying, Liu Yi paused slightly, leaving a little time for everyone to digest.
"Secondly, this lieutenant found that the distribution of our army's garrison was extremely unreasonable, which greatly wasted troops and seriously affected the combat effectiveness.
"Lieutenant, please elaborate!" Shang Ji looked solemn and motioned for Liu Yi to continue.
"In the past, our army adopted an average distribution of 10,000 in small cities, 20,000 in medium cities, and 50,000 in large cities, and this kind of deployment method seriously lowered the overall combat effectiveness of our army."
"The total strength of the Xianbei Army that entered Liaodong before was only about half of the total strength of the Han Army of the Liaodong Army, and under normal circumstances, even if the Xianbei Army had an advantage in arms, the performance of the Liaodong Army could not be so bad. It is precisely because of this stupid distribution of troops that all parts of the country were broken by the Xianbei army, and the soldiers of Liaodong County had an advantage in strength, but they could not give full play to it, like a fat man with a broken sibling, he could only let the Xianbei thief army rage! ”
"What my brother said is reasonable, I wonder how my brother thinks it can be improved to avoid the same mistakes?" Shang Ji nodded, and then asked Liu Yi.
"Fu Jun, I think that it is really unnecessary to deploy 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers in ordinary small cities and middle cities, and it is more reasonable to keep the number of reasonable defenses at 4,000 in small cities and 10,000 in middle cities. Of course, not only can the cities in the border areas not be reduced, but also the appropriate amount of troops should be stationed there! ”
"Divide the cut army into ten large cities, and depending on the location, keep the number of kings in the city between 60,000 and 100,000. As for Wangping, Liao, Wuxian and other Liaodong gateway places, in addition to garrisoning 100,000 guards, an appropriate number of elite soldiers should also be dispatched to prevent accidents! ”
"County Captain, cut the guards in the small and medium-sized cities, if there is a rebellion in the future, how can the small and medium-sized cities resist? A few days ago, three small cities were almost breached by the rebel Inhumans! Zhao Shen got up and asked.
He was previously in charge of supporting the Frustrated Battlefield, and knowing the strength of the Inhumans now, the Inhumans will definitely have the ability to break through small and medium-sized cities in a few days, reducing the number of guards, and I am afraid it will be more difficult to fight against the growing Inhumans.
"It doesn't matter, even if there are occasional frenzied Inhumans besieging the county seat, the nearby big cities can send troops to support as soon as possible. Even if the city unfortunately falls, just a small city, our army will be wiped out with a wave of our hand! What's more, Ben Taishou has another means for Inhumans, so Jingsi doesn't have to worry about Inhumans! ”
Before Liu Yi could answer, Shang Ji was the first to speak. For players, Shang Ji has prepared a set of radish and stick policies to ensure that they will be treated obediently.
"The last general is too worried, and I ask the general to forgive me!"
"It's okay, I've said it a long time ago, you can speak freely, let's work together to develop Liaodong!" Shang Ji smiled and waved his hand, motioning for Zhao Shen to sit down.
"Brother, you go on, tell me about your vision of the war army, and the standards of the war army!"
