Section 83 Military Reform (1)

『Chapter error, click here to report』

The chaotic thoughts also made Jiang Feng's head swell a little.

In the past month, they have been in a hurry, Shi Yu has left, Yu Mingzhen and Lu Qiming have officially joined Huaiyou, no, it should be said that it is Wuning, which means that the eight armies under the jurisdiction of these two ministries are also facing the heavy task of reorganization, plus Zhuang Yongsheng's two armies, as well as the original Taining Army from Yanzhou and Yizhou, it is extremely complicated and challenging for any regime.

Huaiyou needs an army, there is no doubt about it, but it can never be a simple doctrine, and his own command can tolerate the faction of generals, because this cannot be eliminated, local concepts, private feelings, personal concepts, and martial arts strength all determine that with the rapid expansion of Huaiyou's forces, their subordinates will also usher in a fierce collision run-in period.

There is no party outside the party, and there is an imperial ideology; there is no faction outside the party, and there are all kinds of strange things. This is what Taizu said, and Jiang Feng thought it was true.

There are hundreds of people, all kinds of people, and it is an unrealistic fantasy for you to completely unify all people's ideological views, concepts, and interests and demands.

From different regions, different strata, different times of joining Huaiyou, different opportunities to contact and work with each other, and different levels of martial arts between them, all determine that the emotional intimacy, ideas, views, and interests between them are not the same, so Jiang Feng will not do those useless things.

He only needs to firmly grasp one point, that is, he must be unified under the premise of the general interests of Huaiyou with himself as the core, and anyone who tries to challenge this major premise will be the enemy of himself and the ruling class of Huaiyou he represents.

I've been in this situation before.

Starting from the simplest Gushi Army, absorbing the local Chen family of Gushi, and then the addition of the children of the Xu family and the Ju family, followed by the influx of military generals and officials of the Liang Department, ushered in the first shock period, and then the inclusion of the Shouzhou Department, which was a difficult run-in period.

In contrast, the entry of the generals of the Heshuo system was relatively gentle, because the Heshuo system lacked the corresponding government officials, but with the arrival of some officials from Heshuo led by Luo Ye's brother Luo Yin, who were about to join the Huaiyou Army, or the Wuning Army, the Heshuo system will gradually take shape.

The next thing is the Luzhou system, but because after taking the two states of Luhao, he immediately waved his army north to Xuzhou, so the process of the formation of this Luzhou system was interrupted or included in the war in the north, like Qin Han, Chai Yong, Luo Chenggan went north with the army, and Yan Xu, Luo Chengye and others stayed in Shouzhou to assist Yang Xun in dealing with the follow-up affairs of Luhao, but when the major events here are settled, the Luzhou system will not be able to avoid appearing.

What is even more complicated and tricky is that the Huaibei system and the Yanyun system are integrated into Huaiyou (Wuning) as a whole, which is the biggest test.

The Huaibei system and the Yanyun system are not as simple as Luzhou and Shouzhou.

Taking the Yanyun system as an example, the Yanbei generals headed by Hong Kui, Lang Kun, Gu Conghu and others are obviously higher than the overall level of the original Huaiyou Army system in terms of martial arts level and the combat effectiveness of the army they bring, but they are difficult to play because they are restricted by the logistics baggage, but once they are included in the Huaiyou (Wuning) system, the logistics support is worry-free, and its combat effectiveness will be fully reflected immediately, of course, there is still a process, but there is no doubt about it.

Hong Kui and Lang Kun are Yanbei military generals on the one hand, and there are Yannan military generals led by Jiang Shouxi and He Zilong stationed in Luqiao and Rencheng, they are slightly different from Hong Kui, Hong Kui and Lang Kun are not very trusted by Zhu Mao, while Jiang Shouxi and He Zilong have a decent relationship with Zhu Mao, but they are not included in the core circle, and their combat effectiveness is also not weak.

The military generals and officials of the two large and small systems of Yanbei and Yannan have formed a huge Yanyun system, which means that it is not easy for the Huaiyou (Wuning) Army to digest and integrate into this system, and it requires a lot of time and energy, and it will inevitably usher in some contradictions and conflicts.

The same situation also exists with the Huaibei system, the Huaibei system composed of Yu Mingzhen and Lu Qiming, which is of the same scale, and its military generals and officials will also enter the Huaiyou (Wuning) army at the same time.

With such a huge and complex system, it will be an unprecedented challenge for Jiang Feng to balance the interests of all parties.

It can be said that if this difficult problem can be properly handled, the Huaiyou (Wuning) Army will usher in an unprecedented period of development and growth, and if it is not handled well, it may become a huge hidden danger dragging down the Huaiyou (Wuning).

No matter how difficult it is, these things have to be done, and they have to be advanced without affecting other affairs, such as the Haizhou Reconquest.

On the day that Zhu Mao led his army to leave Bianqiu on 11 August, the four armies of the Fourth Army, the Fifth Army, the Tenth Army, and the Second Army of the Huaiyou Right Right Army passed through the three southern counties that night and entered the Bianqiu at noon on the second day.

Among them, Chai Yong led the Left Tenth Army to cross Gongqiu and arrive at Sucheng in the northeast corner of Yunzhou, which will be the junction between Huaiyou and Jeju, while the Left Fifth Army led by Li Tong was stationed in Pinglu County, which is close to Yunzhou Juyeze in the easternmost part of Yanzhou, and Chai Yong's Left Tenth Army formed a horn and echoed each other.

That is to say, more than ten days after the Daliang monk Yunxi left the territory of the Xuzhou Army, and even before setting foot in Caozhou in Songzhou, the Huaiyou (Wuning) side completed the comprehensive control of Yanzhou.

At the same time as the Huaiyou (Wuning) Army marched into Yanzhou, the inspection of various units of the Taining Army was also carried out in an orderly manner.

This is one of the most basic conditions for Huaiyou (Wuning) to accept the former Taining Army, and the army can be retained, but first, it must obey orders, and second, it is necessary to count the personnel clearly, and it is not allowed to falsely report the personnel.

This is probably the most uncomfortable point for the Taining army, but there is no condition to talk about at this point, if these two items cannot be accepted, Jiang Feng would rather not accept Yanzhou for the time being, or take other ways to control Yanzhou.

Of course, the meaning of this other way is very rich, and it can naturally make countless people think about it.

In the end, the Taining armies still accepted this condition, but they also hoped that the Huaiyou (Wuning) side could take into account that the Taining armies had suffered a lot of shortages in the number of soldiers because of the difficulties encountered in the past two years.

Jiang Feng didn't deliberately target this point, in his opinion, as long as he obeyed the order, and the army's combat effectiveness could indeed meet the requirements, why should he deliberately limit it?

Could it be because he was worried that the forces of the original Taining Army were too strong and squeezed the original Huai Right Army system?

He is not so narrow-minded, if that is the case, it will affect the integration of the entire Huaiyou (Wuning) army system, and he also believes that with the current situation, the various departments of the Taining Army should see clearly who is stronger and who will be more promising.

"Your Majesty, Lord Oshiya and Lord Mei are back. Behind him came the footsteps of the guards.

"Oh, okay, please go to the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, and I'll go back immediately. ”

Wang Miao and Mei Guo were in charge of this inspection, because it involved the Taining armies, the situation was extremely complicated, in addition to the twenty armies and the Ya army on the left and right of the Taining army, in addition to the four armies taken away by Zhu Mao, and the two armies on the Yunzhou side were nowhere to be contacted, the remaining fifteen armies should theoretically reach 37,500 people, but in fact, due to battle damage, Due to the lack of personnel and the difficulties in Yanzhou in the later period, a large number of soldiers fled, and the total number of surviving soldiers of these fifteen armies on the Huaiyou side is estimated to be less than 20,000, but the specific number needs to be counted after on-the-spot inspection.

This work is extremely arduous, and after the inspection, it involves the reorganization and reorganization, and it also involves the vital interests of the leaders of the Taining Army, so it is inevitable that there will be all kinds of tricks to be used, which requires an experienced and considerable level of leaders and a group of loyal and reliable personnel to carry out the inspection.

Jiang Feng finally arranged for Wang Miao and Mei Guo to be in charge of this work, and the specific inspection personnel were mainly to dispatch a group of students in the Dadao Academy to be responsible for it temporarily, the loyalty of these students is undoubted, and it is not easy to be bought by outsiders.

Wang Miao and Mei Guo each took half of the people to divide into two groups to conduct the inspection, and it took half a month to barely complete the work.

Jiang Feng has also been thinking about how to adjust the pattern and system of Huaiyou (Wuning) in the next step.

Xuzhou, Sizhou, Haizhou, Yanzhou, and Yizhou north of Huaishui, and Yunzhou, which may be incorporated in the future, will be managed with the title of Wuning Jiedu in the future, and Shouzhou, Luzhou, Huzhou, Haozhou, Guangzhou, and even Shuzhou, Hezhou, and even Chuzhou, which may be included in the future, will be governed by the Huaiyou Jiedu Envoy.

The political region can be carried out in the pattern of counties, prefectures, and sections, and even two sections of the embassy can be carried out with two brands and a set of people, but when it comes to the army, it needs to be carefully considered.

Of course, the Wuning Army, which was based on the Huaibei Army and the Taining Army, would be rebuilt, but this model of army building, which was completely based on the pattern of geography and the original traditional inheritance, also had many drawbacks.

Jiang Feng considered that he would build the army in this main context, but he could not completely follow this model, otherwise this mechanism of clear boundaries would be very unfavorable to future wars.
