Captain Yueqi, one of the five schools of the Northern Army, subordinate to the Northern Army, has no subordinates, there is one Sima, who is in charge of the guards, one hundred and twenty-seven officials, and seven hundred soldiers.

For the formation of members of the Yue Cavalry Battalion, there are two sayings since ancient times: "the Yue people are attached to ride" and "they take their strength to surpass".

The more the cavalry captain is in charge of the more cavalry, when the royal camp was compiled in the early Han Dynasty, the meaning of this name is indeed an exclusive directionality, and the Yue cavalry at that time was indeed a 'true' Yue cavalry, the more the land was attached, and the strong people thought that they were fierce horses, to some extent, the same as Hu cavalry and Qiang cavalry, highlighting the Han Dynasty sea and rivers, and subduing the greatness of the four yi.

It's just that with the passage of time, the single directivity of the word 'Yue Cai' has been eliminated, and in the Wang Mang period, the Yue Cavalry Battalion has become a 'forbidden army' and 'Su Guard', and in this period where Liu Jian is located, the meaning of the name of the Yue Cavalry Battalion and its standard orientation is both 'taking its material strength and surpassing it', rather than using the legion composed of Yue Di knights.

That is to say, in this period, the meaning of the name of the Yue Riding Battalion refers to the camp that is outstanding for its riding bravery, and the meaning of the word 'Yue' has become 'transcendence', rather than simply referring to the word 'Yue Cavalry'.

Today is Liu Jian's first day in office, and he took Yu Ze to the garrison of the Yue Cavalry Battalion.

On the way, Yu Ze and Liu Jian gossiped and talked about the Yue Riding Camp.

"Shaojun has become a captain of the Yue Cavalry, how do you want to manage this battalion?"

Liu Jian didn't answer directly, but asked Yu Zedao: "According to Brother Yu's opinion, what should I do?" ”

Yu Ze hurriedly said: "How dare you teach Shaojun to do things." ”

"It's okay, you have followed my brother Bo Jue for many years, you have been in the border county for a long time, you are well-informed, and you naturally have your unique views on the affairs of the army, although I participated in the war against Xianbei, but I just followed Lu Shi to learn to fight, when it comes to the experience of governing the army, it may not be as good as Brother Yu, and please Brother Yu but it doesn't hurt."

Yu Ze saw that Liu Jian was so polite and virtuous, so he didn't hide it.

"If it's the border county, it's better to say something, but this Yue cavalry camp is the camp of the Gyeonggi Suwei, and the dragons and snakes are mixed in it, not to mention anything else, if you want to control it, it's not easy."

Liu Jian looked at him: "Please elaborate?" ”

Yu Ze said: "Most of the knights of the camps of the Gyeonggi Battalion of the Han Dynasty are from Jincheng, Longxi, Tianshui, Anding, Beidi, and Shangjun, and they are the sons of the 'six counties', and they are the best riders. ”

Liu Jian smiled when he heard this: "Yes, I also thought of it, there are only seven hundred knights in each battalion of the five battalions of the Northern Army, but there are one hundred and twenty-seven officials, this number of assistants is enough to manage an army of 10,000 people." ”

After all, Yu Ze had been in the Gongsun clan in Liaodong, and he had heard more or less about some things.

"What Shaojun said is that the five battalions of the Northern Army are guarding Gyeonggi, and although the sons of the good families who serve as knights are suspected of being passed down from generation to generation, the number is not large and can still be disposed of, but one-third of the officials in the management camp are like Yu Linlang from generation to generation, and one-third are relatives of the officials and dignitaries in the court, and one-third are the people installed by the eunuchs at that time."

Speaking of this, Yu Ze said in a low voice: "After all, the fifth battalion of the Northern Army bears heavy responsibilities, whether it is Your Majesty or others, it is impossible to only honor a captain in the battalion, for Your Majesty, the lieutenant of the Northern Army who supervises the fifth battalion is more trustworthy than the captain, and for the gate of the valve, among the more than 100 officials, there is also a need for their cronies." ”

Liu Jian nodded, he also probably understood what Yu Ze meant.

Since the September mutiny of the Han Dynasty, Wang Fu and others killed Dou Wu and Chen Fan, even though 14 years have passed, the lessons and vigilance of the coup d'état are still deeply imprinted in the minds of the people in Ruoyang now.

Even if you can't control the battalions, you must do your best to install some of your own forces in the camps.

Why do you say that the five colonels of the Northern Army are 'heavy and idle'? It's more or less because of this reason.

"Listening to what Brother Yu meant, I think it's not so easy for one person to completely take charge of the Yue Cavalry Battalion?"

"If it is a tun in a border county, Shaojun Mo said that he wants to be in charge of these seven hundred people, even seven thousand is not a problem, but the camp in the capital is somewhat complicated."

Liu Jian nodded, and he admitted that what Yu Ze said was not wrong.

In fact, whether to take charge of this Vietnamese cavalry battalion or not will not play a decisive role in his future development, but it will ......

After all, this is his first military attache high position, with a rank ratio of two thousand stones, and his subordinates are in charge of a battalion, and the imperial court raises these people for him.

He didn't want to waste that resource.

The more than 100 officials in the Yue cavalry camp can be used by the emperor, the eunuchs, and the princes of the family...... Why can't he use it?

After the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no standing army in the inland counties, only 36 border counties including Youzhou, Bingzhou, Liangzhou, Jiaozhou, etc., there were county soldiers, and the soldiers of a county were more than thousands, and the total number of 36 border counties was more than 100,000 people, plus the troops of the Duliao battalion, Yuyang battalion, Liyang battalion and the subordinate countries, the strength of the whole country should be more than 200,000.

Among these more than 200,000 sergeants, how could there be no heroic generals who are good at military affairs and are heroic and heroic!

If he can use his existing power to transfer a few people into Beijing to assist him in the Yue cavalry camp, then in a sense, not only can he share the pressure of managing the army in Beijing, but at the same time, the people who were transferred by Liu Jian to Beijing to serve in Beijing can be regarded as his former officials to a certain extent!

Moreover, the Yellow Turban Uprising is coming soon, and the five battalions of the Northern Army are also participating in the battle, and he can't care about others, at least the Yue Cavalry Battalion can't live in fear during this final preparation period.

……

Liu Jian took Yu Ze to the Yueqi camp to take a look, and he was greeted by Sima and fifty-five of the one hundred and twenty-seven officials in the Yueqi camp.

The surname Sima of the Yue Cavalry Battalion became famous and floated, a native of Anping, Jizhou, and served as Sima of the Yue Cavalry Battalion for three years, and in the era when Cao Poshi was in charge of the Yue Cavalry Battalion, he has been assisting Cao Poshi in governing the Yue Cavalry Camp as Sima.

Cao Poshi is an unsuccessful person, and he rarely pays attention to the affairs of the camp on weekdays, so most of the military affairs in the camp are in the hands of this person.

Just seeing this Cheng Fu, Liu Jian knew that he had to get rid of this person.

The other party's posture was respectful on the surface, but looking at Liu Jian's gaze, it made Liu Jian feel a little uncomfortable.

This kind of gaze may not be felt by others, but Liu Jian is too familiar.

In his previous life, he started from the bottom of the workplace, and with his high emotional intelligence and bold and enterprising business ability, he became the indispensable right-hand man of the chairman and singled out a department.

Of course, to be able to do that level, in addition to excellent business ability, it must also rely on stepping on others to do it!

Sunshine and darkness have always coexisted in this world.

This kind of humility on the outside, but other eyes hidden in the heart, Liu Jian saw too much in his previous life.

But logically speaking, he is now the younger brother of the Son of Heaven, and he is famous in Luoyang, but anyone who has a little vision knows that he is not something that ordinary people can provoke.

There should be a backstage behind the other party.

However, Liu Jian, who is not jealous and is mediocre, has a super good psychological quality and is thick-skinned enough, just smiled at Cheng Fu.

Subsequently, Liu Jian began to count according to the simple roster.

Only fifty-five of the 127 officers came, and it was the first day of his captain's tenure.

Naturally, he had to understand why.

After ordering, Liu Jian began to ask Cheng Fu: "Cheng Sima, today is the first day of this captain's appointment, the seven hundred knights in the camp are not left alone, including Sima, all the officials of the Yue cavalry battalion have not arrived, what is the reason?" ”

Cheng Fu was neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "Back to the school captain, the responsibilities of the Yue Cavalry Battalion are four, one is to guard the Beijing Division, and concurrently serve as an expedition, the second is to assist Yulin and defend the city, the third is to cooperate with the four battalions, six times a month to perform martial arts, the fourth is to listen to the order to wait for the scheduled honor guard, in order to show the prestige of the Han, and the fifth battalion has sent soldiers to patrol the division in turns, and the Zhuzuo has military affairs every month, some are in the palace, and some are in the suburbs of Beijing, and they can't be withdrawn, so they are uneven. ”

"Oh."

Liu Jianruo nodded suddenly: "I heard that the officers and men of the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army are idle in their duties except for drills on weekdays, so it seems that the captain made a mistake?" ”

Cheng Fu bowed and clasped his fists and said: "Inside and outside Gyeonggi, there are many rumors about the five camps, most of which are untrue, and I also ask the captain not to listen to the rumors, you need to see is believing." ”

"Listen to the meaning of your words, it is normal for the officers and men of the five battalions to be replaced in rotation and assigned on schedule, so when will the captain come to the battalion? Can't all the subordinates be gathered? ”

Cheng Fu lowered his head and replied: "Everything in the camp has always been like this, Captain Cao has been in office for three years, and he can't see the officials of the whole camp in one day, which is normal. ”

Normal? Hehe, this is the way to be laid out, right?

"I see!"

Liu Jian nodded suddenly: "Then I don't know what you said, how did Captain Cao order the military affairs of Gongwei Jingshi, Suwei Luocheng, and Wheel Patrol Division on weekdays?" ”

"Captain Cao, the head of the army, regardless of trivial matters, military transfers, over the years, have been shared by the last officials and Zhu Zuo for the captain."

Liu Jian blinked: "You did everything, so what was Captain Cao responsible for when he was in office in the past?" ”

Cheng Fu said very seriously: "The captain is the master of the army, no matter the details, he just takes the overall situation and inspects the army...... Oh, by the way, the five battalions are all from Taicang, but Taicang has been short of money over the years, and the income and expenditure are beyond their means, and the monthly supply to the battalions can be at most sixty percent...... The officers and men of the three armies eat twice a day, and they all rely on the captain, which is a major matter of the battalion, and the captain must personally come forward to Dasi Nong. ”

Liu Jian raised his eyebrows: "I'm a lieutenant of the first battalion, so I'm in charge of this?" Am I a captain or a food officer? ”

Cheng Fu was a little stunned when he heard this, listening to Liu Jian's tone, it seemed that this matter was not a matter at all?

"Captain, the Yue Cavalry Battalion guards the Beijing Division, there is almost no war, only a monthly routine change, which is very simple...... Shouldn't the rations and monthly rank of the soldiers in the camp be the most important thing? ”

Cheng Fu still spoke politely, but Liu Jian heard that his words were somewhat rhythmic.

Sure enough, after listening to Cheng Fu's words, the fifty-five adjutant officials also admonished one after another, asking Liu Jian not to underestimate the matter of grain and straw in the army, Taicang's allocation to the five battalions every month is so much, once the fight is slow or the time is not taken, it is very likely that the officers and soldiers in the battalion will receive less than the other four battalions, and the dissatisfaction of the soldiers will cause trouble.

"Boom!"

Just as everyone was admonishing, with a loud noise, all the subordinates in the tent who were still gossiping quieted down.

Liu Jian pulled out the saber at his waist and put it heavily on the table in front of him.

For a while, there was silence in the account.

The young man who was still smiling suddenly turned his face at this moment, and his eyes were full of fierceness.

You must know that Liu Jian is a good martial artist, and he also participated in the Northern Expedition Xianbei War, which can be regarded as having been trained in the pile of dead.

Although the subordinates present all belonged to the Yue Cavalry Battalion, they had only been Gongwei Jingshi for many years, and had not participated in a battle.

Liu Jian hooked his finger at Cheng Fu: "Come here!" ”

Cheng Fu looked at the sword that Liu Jian put on the table, and was a little frightened, but under the scrutiny of the other party, he couldn't help but step forward.

He cautiously walked to Liu Jian's desk......

"Captain, please don't be angry......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Liu Jian directly pick up the long sword from the table and put the sword on Cheng Fu's shoulder.

Although he knew that Liu Jian would not and could not do anything to himself, in the face of the sharp blade that could reach his face, Cheng Fu's heart was still filled with indescribable tension.

"Captain, what is this doing?"

Liu Jian gently rubbed his sword back and forth on the other party's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Remember, this captain doesn't care how Captain Cao was in charge of the Yue Cavalry Camp in the first place?" But from today onwards, the Vietnamese cavalry battalion will be in charge of this lieutenant, and all the rules must be changed! Tomorrow, I will see all the assistants in this camp, and one hundred and twenty-seven people are not allowed to be absent, and whoever does not come, who will roll up and leave, understand? ”

Cheng Fu had a gloomy face and said in a low voice, "Oh." ”

Liu Jian turned his head to look at the others in the tent: "From today on, all the personnel in the Yueqi camp, all the martial arts, and all the guards are all arranged by this captain, as for asking Taicang for food...... Cheng Sima, it is up to you to ask Dasi Nong on time, no matter what method you use, you must go to the Yueqi camp to support eighty percent! One stone less will give you a military stick, and a hundred stone will be a hundred military sticks, understand? ”

"......"

"Be louder!"

"Wow!!"

"Very good, you can go down, and besides, bring all the resumes of the seven hundred people in the battalion, and the captain will look at them one by one!"

"......"

"Louder!"

"Wow!!"

After the officials went down, Liu Jian turned his head to look at Yu Ze: "Brother Yu, if there is no accident, tonight, then Cheng Sima will definitely go to find the master behind him, you help me keep an eye on it, see who he is looking for." ”

"Whoa!"
