Chapter 191: Shen Tan's Conjecture The Establishment of the Army
Why did Shen Tan have a smile in his eyes after hearing that Mi Yang had appointed Lu Yi as the county prince and was in charge of the transfer of military rations?
It is the peculiarity of the position of the county officer.
The post of county official originated from the Qin Dynasty, as the name suggests, it is the second-in-command of the auxiliary left Taishou, and the county in the border area is called Changshi.
Although in the official definition, the county is the second-in-command in the county.
However, unlike other official positions in the county, most of the county officials were directly appointed by the central court, and were not subordinates who were eliminated by the Taishou themselves.
Originally, it was difficult for officials parachuted in from the central government to have a say in the localities.
In addition, most of the county officials are personally appointed by the central government and have the responsibility of supervising the Taishou, so the Juncheng cannot be valued by the Taishou.
Over time, the post of Juncheng became a virtual reality, and most of its functions and powers were divided between the two positions of the chief secretary and the gongcao.
Today, the world is in turmoil, the central government's control over the local government has been greatly reduced, and the post of county chief is not welcomed.
Among the scholars of the time, there was a proverb: "Rather than a Cao, not any Cheng".
Since Jian'an, even the county officials of many counties have been directly appointed by Taishou.
However, because of the dispopularity of the magistrate for hundreds of years, in the current local government system, most of the county officials do not have administrative power, but are only a vacant position with a high status.
Most of them are held by some famous celebrities, acting as an auspicious baby.
After all, he has the two positions of chief bookkeeper and gongcao, but he is afraid that some county officials want to administer, and he has nowhere to start.
Mi Yang appointed Lu Yi as the county leader, instead of the second position of chief secretary or gongcao, which was called reuse, but in fact, he implied that Shen Tan had no intention of interfering in county affairs.
Moreover, Mi Yang designated Lu Yi as the county queen in front of everyone, and was only responsible for the mobilization of grain and grass, and announced his true intentions in front of everyone.
That is, he is only interested in ensuring the stability of the army, and as for other government affairs and personnel, he has no intention of interfering.
Mi Yang's arrangement is completely in line with his performance as a famous player.
Mi Yang's current plan is to lower the Shen brothers' vigilance.
But Mi Yang is not a noble son who has no reputation and is fledgling at present, if this is the case, it will be easier to do.
Mi Yang is now very famous in the world, and in such a situation, if Mi Yang behaves too weak or cares too much about anything, it will arouse the suspicion of the Shen brothers.
Therefore, everything should be done in a certain degree.
Since the current impression of people in the world is that they are famous generals, Mi Yang can just take advantage of this inherent impression.
Mi Yang was in front of Shen Tan and Shen Yi, showing a show that he cared about military affairs and didn't care about political affairs.
The purpose was to tell the Shen brothers that as long as their Shen brothers did not interfere in his military operations in Hanxing County, then he could also not interfere in the government affairs of their two Shen brothers in Hanxing County.
After arranging Lu Yi's specific duties, Mi Yang said to Shen Tanyan: "When I left Chengdu, the king instructed me to train my soldiers and horses in Hanxing County, and the battle was imminent."
"The king has an order, and I dare not slack off. The three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, if you want to train a large army, the grain and grass are the top priority, and at this point, I hope that Shen Jun will help Lu Juncheng a lot."
….
Listening to Mi Yang's words, the smile in Shen Tan's eyes was even worse.
Mi Yang's words seemed to illustrate his importance in Liu Bei's mind.
But the four words of the imminent war also reveal Liu Bei's arrangements for his future, that is, the Northern Expedition with the army.
As a Taishou who was about to leave Hanxing County in the near future, how could Shen Tan refuse Mi Yang's request?
Shen Tan immediately said to Mi Yang with a serious look on his face: "Please rest assured, Tan is bound to assist Zuolu Juncheng and raise enough grain and grass for the government as soon as possible."
Shen Tan's promise made Mi Yang nod, and then he said to Shen Tan: "I am a soldier, I am not used to living in the county government, I intend to train in the river valley outside the city.
Currently in the middle of the river valley
The barracks are being built, and when they are completed, I will move with the family to the barracks outside the city, and the county government will bother Shenjun to take care of it."
Hearing Mi Yang say this, Shen Tan almost laughed.
Originally, he was also worried that Mi Yang would live in the Taishou Mansion in the city in the future, and it would be too troublesome for him to ask Mi Yang for advice on important matters in the future.
Now Mi Yang offered to move to live in the military camp outside the city, and entrusted him to take care of the county government, which made Shen Tan very satisfied.
Regarding Mi Yang's request, Shen Tan first pretended to refuse, but Mi Yang's attitude was very resolute.
Then Shen Tan got up and bowed to Mi Yang and said, "I hope that the prince of the mansion can rest assured, and the prince will definitely live up to the high expectations of the monarch."
After hearing Shen Tan say this, Mi Yang's face showed a relaxed look, and he asked Shen Tan to go down to work first.
Seeing this, Shen Tan took a group of officials in the Taishou Mansion to retire.
Watching Shen Tan leave, dozens of officials in the Taishou Mansion followed Shen Tan obediently, and Mi Yang's face showed a smile of unknown meaning.
After Shen Tan and the officials left, Meng Da immediately came out and reminded Mi Yang: "What Shen Tan said about the officials in the palace is a lie, and they are all appointed by Liu Feng."
In response to Meng Da's reminder, Mi Yang waved his hand absently and said, "I know."
Meng Da saw that Mi Yang knew, but he didn't have a seizure on the spot, thinking that Mi Yang had a deeper plan, so he stopped talking.
Before Fa Zheng died of illness, he wrote a letter to Meng Da.
In that letter, Fa Zheng made it clear to Meng Da that he would ask Liu Bei to spare Meng Da's life, but then Meng Da would assist him under Mi Yang.
Because of the relationship between the refugees together, the relationship between Fa Zheng and Meng Da is very close.
It was precisely because Fa Zheng was still alive that Meng Da obediently chose to surrender after Zhang Feibing came to the city.
Because in Meng Da's view, Fa Zheng would definitely be able to save his life, and the later development was indeed as Meng Da expected.
As for the matter mentioned by Fa Zheng in the letter, asking Meng Da to assist Zuo Miyang well, Meng Da did not resist in his heart.
On the one hand, it is because of the relationship between Fazheng and Mi Yang, and on the other hand, the future of Mi Yang is limitless.
Under his command, although he is currently only a military Sima, with Mi Yang's growth step by step, he Meng Da may not have a comeback.
Under this kind of thinking, Meng Da is still in a state of willingness to work for Mi Yang at present.
Of course, Meng Da is not a loyal person, if Mi Yang's future development is not satisfactory, he Meng Da will naturally find a good way out for himself.
….
For Meng Da, Mi Yang is in a state of disbelief, Meng Da is talented, but his quality makes Mi Yang unable to trust him.
Therefore, after stopping Meng Da's speech, Mi Yang ordered Meng Da, Ding Feng, and Ding Feng to go outside the city to urge the army to set up camp as soon as possible.
As a general, it is also a good idea to let Meng Da and several people be in charge of this matter.
After the few people who didn't trust him so much left, Mi Yang got up and looked at the subordinates left in the hall.
Lu Yi, Deng Ai, and Zhang Wei are the core team he can trust at present.
There is also one person, Wang Hong, who was originally appointed by Liu Bei as the magistrate of Shangyong County.
After Wang Hong arrived in Shangyong, because Liu Bei abolished the three eastern counties and merged them into Hanxing County, Wang Hong was reappointed as the magistrate of Fangling County, and the magistrate of Shangyong County was served by Shen Tan.
So he's not in Shangyong City at the moment.
Mi Yang finally looked at Lu Yi and said, "After I leave, Ji Yang will stay in the city alone, so be more careful."
Only then did Mi Yang appoint Lu Yi as the county commander in public, and put him in charge of the army's grain and grass affairs.
The nature of this position requires Lu Yi to stay in Shangyong City, acting as a bridge of communication between Mi Yang outside the city and Shen Tan in the city.
In a certain aspect, in the next time, Lu Yi will stay away from the army and stay in Shangyong City alone for a period of time.
This has a certain risk, because Lu Yi is
Mi Yang's trusted person, he has long had the intention of doing something to the Shen brothers.
But Lu Yi faced Mi Yang's worries, but there was no fear on his face.
He was only worried that Mi Yang would be deceived by others and did nothing, so how could he worry that Mi Yang would entrust him with a heavy responsibility?
Lu Yi bowed to Mi Yang and replied, "The prince trusts him, and he will live up to the expectations of the king."
"Although the prince of the government can train his soldiers with peace of mind, as soon as the army needs food and grass, he will definitely do his best to raise it, so that the prince will not have to worry about lack of food."
After Lu Yi said this, Mi Yang reached out and patted Lu Yi's shoulder.
...
After Shen Tan led a group of subordinates out of the hall, a cronie beside him whispered to Shen Tan, "How is my brother looking at the new king?"
This cronie is a close branch brother of Shen Tan, and in the past, because this clan brother was quite resourceful, he was deeply respected by Shen Tan.
Although Shen Tan moved his wife and most of the clan members to Chengdu, among those people, they were mainly old and weak women and children.
As for some of the young and strong people in the clan, of course, Shen Tan stayed to assist him in taking charge of Shangyong government affairs.
Under the questioning of this clan brother, Shen Tan gave his opinion, "It is a good thing that Mizi has become a famous general and concentrates on military affairs."
After saying this, Shen Tan instructed the clan brother again: "During Mi Zicheng's time in the county, let the clansmen restrain a little, and don't let some common people collide with him, otherwise the situation will be difficult to control."
"Besides, if Lu Yi only asks for food and grass, he orders all the officials in the palace to do their best to meet his request."
"I didn't expect that in less than a year, Mi Zicheng would lead the army away, and we will have to endure it for another year."
Hearing Shen Tan say this, this Shen Tan's clan brother bent down to receive the order, and then left to pass on the order.
….
After the clan brother left, Shen Tan turned to look at the hall behind him.
He was far away from the hall now, and of course he couldn't see what Mi Yang was doing in the hall, but it didn't affect the guess in his heart.
From Shen Tan's point of view, it is inferred that Mi Yang may have been sent to the place by Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong.
Once he waits for the war in the north in the future, then with Mi Yang's past achievements, he will definitely lead the army to participate in the war.
[To tell the truth, I've been using @
He has a very important letter in his hand, which he wants to give to Mi Yang.
...
In the valley outside Shangyong City, a large camp has been set up.
Under the command of Meng Da, the military camp of more than 10,000 troops was set up in a very orderly manner, and the attack and defense were prepared.
After the military camp in the river valley was set up, Mi Yang also led a kind of cronies and family rolls to move to the big camp in the river valley, as mentioned before.
He only left Lü Yi in Shangyong City and handed over the grain and grass of the army with Shen Tan.
After arriving at the barracks in the river valley, Mi Yang immediately arranged the training of more than 10,000 troops under his command.
One of the first things to do before the army can be trained is to form an organizational structure.
Because since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, wars have been frequent in the world, so the original Han and Han military systems have undergone many changes to meet the needs of actual wars.
In addition, because the military systems are different in different places, the organizational structure of the armed forces in different places is also different, but in general the following organizational structure is still followed.
In the Han Dynasty, an independent combat unit was called a battalion, and the establishment of a battalion was about 2,000 people.
The military system of the Han Dynasty was mostly calculated in multiples of two and five.
The most basic unit in the Han Dynasty army was the army, with a commander for every five people. Two Wu Wei, one for every ten people.
Five tithes are a team, and there is a team rate for every fifty people. Two teams are one tun, and there is one tun commander for every 100 people.
Two tuns are a song, and there is a military marquis for every 200 people. Two songs into one, one for every four hundred people.
In the end, every five divisions are usually a battalion, that is, an independent combat unit, usually commanded by a general or a lieutenant.
Although most battalions are more than 2,000 people, each lieutenant or general has a different number of troops depending on their status.
For example, when Guan Ping was a captain, the number of soldiers and horses he commanded was 3,000.
For example, under Liu Bei's permission, Mi Yang was able to command more than 10,000 troops as a general.
According to the general army establishment, the 10,000 troops under Mi Yang's command should be divided into five battalions.
However, according to the actual situation, Mi Yang is ready to make some slight changes to his army formation.
