Chapter 50 Rearmament
As soon as He Bai entered the mansion, Ding Yuan shouted in front of him: "He Duwei, it has been nearly half a year since you took office as the governor of Taiyuan in April, why haven't you completely eliminated the horse thieves in the county, and this time you have killed more than 200 people of my righteous brother Ma Yi and his family......
He Bai was awkward when he heard it, Ding Yuan wanted to divert his attention so as to clear his suspicions. But that's fine, in this way, there should be no big problem with Ma Xue'er. That day, Ma Xue'er hurried to the Thorn Shi Mansion, and He Bai was secretly worried about her.
He Bai rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Ding Tingshi, your words are so unreasonable. When he first arrived in Taiyuan County, Jinyang City only had 500 defenders. A certain forcibly recruited 5,000 people in the county as pawns, and with the newly trained soldiers, he killed a 30,000-strong white wave thief in only half a month, and scared off another thief. The white wave thief retreated, and Ding Tingshi, you took my military power and went to Yanmen County. Although He is in the county, he has no soldiers in his hands, and it is not enough to guard the county with his family soldiers, so it is difficult to pay attention to the horse thief. ”
Ding Yuan said angrily: "I have returned from the victory in Yanmen County and led the army back to Jinyang City for twenty days, why still don't you see your movements?" ”
Let the newly trained soldiers be the vanguard, He Bai was furious as soon as he thought of this, and couldn't help but take a few steps forward, pointing at Ding Yuan's nose and scolding: "Ding Jianyang, more than half of my 5,000 new soldiers were killed and injured by your battle, and the people of Taiyuan are all crying and wailing." You don't care about the compensation for the dead and wounded, I don't care. I've been doing this for the past 20 days. ”
"It's you, Ding Thorn Shi, you have 30,000 troops in your hands, and the court ordered you to come and merge the state, but it's not just about dealing with the Southern Huns. You also have a heavy responsibility as a assassin in the affairs of stabilizing the place, is your army of 30,000 just decorations? ”
Ding Yuan's old face turned red and said: "The army has been fighting hard with the Southern Xiongnu for several months, and it has long been tired, but I am afraid that the army is unstable, so it is inconvenient to use. In August, the emperor built the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden in Luoyang, and the elite soldiers of the division were insufficient, and he summoned the world's athletes to guard. Since the old man received the order, he has been busy with this matter for the past 20 days, and he has selected more than 1,000 athletes, and the day before yesterday Zhang Yang led Wang Luoyang away......"
It turned out that in August, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty began to set up eight captains in the West Garden: the upper army, the middle army, the lower army, the dian army, the left, the right, the left of the auxiliary army, and the right of the auxiliary army. With Xiao Huangmen Jian Shuo as the captain of the upper military academy, Hu Ben Zhonglang general Yuan Shao as the lieutenant of the middle army, Tun Cavalry captain Bao Hong as the lieutenant of the lower military academy, Yilang Cao Cao as the captain of the military academy, Zhao Rong as the left lieutenant of the auxiliary army, Feng Fang as the right lieutenant of the auxiliary army, Xia Mu as the left lieutenant of the counselor, and Chun Yuqiong as the right lieutenant. All the eight lieutenants are all in Jian Shuo.
He Bai remembered that there was such a thing in history, that the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan was originally set up by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty specifically for the military power of the general He Jin, so as to prepare for the future Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to inherit the throne of the emperor. It's just that Emperor Han Ling has no one in his hands, except for a small yellow door Jian Shuo who is obedient, everyone else is He Jin's party. Tens of thousands of Xiyuan troops finally became the soldiers and horses of the great general He Jin.
This Ding Yuan seems to have ordered Zhang Yang to lead more than 1,000 elite soldiers to Jian Shuo, and Zhang Yang was also appointed by Jian Shuo as the Sima of the Provisional Marching Army of the Shang Army. In this way, this Ding was originally on the emperor's side. It's just that as soon as Emperor Ling of Han died, He Jin took power, and Ding Yuan hurriedly summoned Zhang Liao to engage in it, and ordered him to rush to Kyoto with elite soldiers to listen to He Jin's orders. From this point of view, this Ding Yuan is not very loyal, and he is also a complete opportunist.
Ding Yuan said: "My brother Ma Yi's matter, it seems that he Duwei can't be blamed. It's just that horse thieves are rampant, and they have done such a great evil, and I swear to repay them. He Duwei, you are not only the governor of Taiyuan County, but also in charge of the security of a county, and now exert great efforts to exterminate all the thieves in the county. If you need the help of the army, you can come to find the old man. ”
However, although the Southern Xiongnu were peaceful, the white wave thieves were becoming more and more fierce in the east of the river. Although the Bingzhou army has only gone through a major war, it is possible that the court will issue an order in the near future to order the old man to lead the army to Hedong to exterminate the Baibo thieves, and the matter of suppressing the thieves in Taiyuan County will be handed over to He Duwei to be fully responsible......"
He also said that he would help the army, and said that he would crusade against the white wave thieves in Hedong, but in fact, he would not send a single soldier, and it seems that this matter was indeed done for Ma Xue'er to see. I still need to ask Ma Xueer to understand what is going on.
However, the extermination of bandits and bandits in various places is very beneficial to the security of Taiyuan County, and it is also good for its own reputation. So he replied: "The small group of thieves has their own counties to exterminate, and the large group of thieves will go to exterminate, and I hope that Lord Shi will sit in Jinyang." ”
Having said that, He Bai didn't know what bandits and bandits there were in Taiyuan County, so he ordered the county lieutenants to report the thieves in the county. and sent the bloody cavalry to investigate the thieves in person, in preparation for the dispatch of troops.
Then he ordered his scribes to write a proclamation order from the governor of Taiyuan, which said that all crimes committed by three people as a group were capital crimes. At this time, it happened to be the beginning of October, and if a person went to the county government office to surrender within a month, the crime could be reduced by half and the punishment would be mitigated. If there is a stubborn resistance, and those captured after sending troops to suppress the thief, they will be killed on the spot, and they will not be merciful.
This order is only for small shares of thieves, and large shares of thieves will not pay attention to He Bai's orders. Therefore, He Bai did not really wait until November to send troops, only five days later, after all the thieves in each county were reported, the date for sending troops was set.
In the camp of the county soldiers outside the city, He Bai'an sat in the middle of the main tent, and there were six generals Fu Xing, Cheng Zhang, Yu Hua, Cheng Qi, Che Jing, and Lu Ping on both sides of his subordinates, but Dian Wei was not in the camp.
Since the chapter of healing, it was determined that Xiao Man had a rickets hypochondriasis. The prescription prescribed by the quack doctor also has a certain effect, but it is not exactly a quack, but the effect is not great. It's just that medicine is rare, except for fierce people like Brother Dian Wei, even if there are wealthy families in the world, it is difficult to find a hundred pairs of tiger bone medicine.
It was determined that as long as he was treated, after two or three years, Xiaoman would be able to return to normal. Because Brother Dian Wei cared about Xiao Man's body, He Bai did not ask Dian Wei to send troops to fight the thief. Besides, there are only thieves, why do you need a fierce general like Dian Wei to come out, just a few generals under his command can solve it.
It's just that He Bai looked at the number of generals under him, or the unknown generals in history, and he felt sad in his heart. As soon as others traveled to the Three Kingdoms era, a lot of super generals, famous generals and super strategists in their hands were caught in advance.
As for himself, except for Brother Dian Wei, there is no one, all of them are generals with values between five, six, and seventy, and there are only a few people. They are battalion commanders and regimental lieutenants with hundreds of people, and there are so many soldiers and horses that even their own army commanders are afraid that they will not be able to command them.
Liu Bang, the rogue boss in history, is just a pavilion chief, and he can command an army of 100,000. And his own traversal crowd is even difficult to dominate with 5,000 people. Thinking of the superpowers of the soldier immortal Han Xin, the more the better, I am afraid that I will be hopeless for the rest of my life.
It seems that in the future, we still have to think more about recruiting some strong generals, otherwise it will be very difficult to fight in the world in the future. He Bai was a little stunned for a while, saying that in this world, who are the strong generals from the common people in the world, who are the ones who have not yet come out at this time? And do you know where they live?
Thinking about it, it seems that there are few people, especially in the prefecture. Even if the people from other states and counties send their own people to invite them, can they be summoned just by virtue of their official position as a lieutenant?
"Ahem, lord, it's time for you to take matters into account." Fu Xing on the side saw that He Bai was stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, so he hurriedly reminded.
"Oh......" He Bai came back to his senses at this time, looked at the six generals sitting again, and thought, these people are still young, but they are only in their twenties, and they have a lot of time to shape. In the future, through a long period of experience, it may not be impossible to become a talent. There is no need for them to achieve much talent, as long as everyone has the ability to command an army, they can indirectly command an army of 30,000 or 40,000. Well, it seems that Liu Bang's guy is like this who commands an army of 100,000!
He Bai sat down and asked: "Fu Xing, you are the marching staff officer of our army, mainly assisting the general in managing the army, training non-commissioned officers, and staff and military discussions. Let me ask you, how is the establishment and training of the various units of my non-commissioned officers? ”
Fu Xing bowed his hand and said: "Lord Qiqi, since more than 20 days, the soldiers of the Northern Expedition to Yanmen have returned to the camp after being injured, and our army currently has a total of 4,463 soldiers. Among them, there are 1,080 cavalry, 300 white horse cavalry, 30 cavalry, 884 spearmen, 932 sword and shield soldiers, 637 archers, 300 crossbowmen, and 300 baggage soldiers. If we add 287 medical personnel and 320 artisan battalions, the total number of our army should be 5,070 people. ”
"There is 1 infantry soldier and 4 soldiers, 5 men; 1 for each shewu chief, 8 soldiers, 10 men; Each team has 1 person, 1 deputy team, plus 5 soldiers, a total of 52 people; Each 100-person tun will have 1 general, 1 tun deputy, 3 guards, and two teams of soldiers, totaling 109 people. There are 1 military doctor and 5 medical guards in each tun, a total of 115 people. ”
"There is 1 military marquis per song, 1 deputy military marquis, 1 professor is temporarily vacant, 1 staff officer is temporarily vacant, 2 cavalry guards, 20 guards, four soldiers, and a light cavalry team, a total of 514 people; In addition, there are 6 military doctors and 30 medical soldiers, a total of 550 people. ”
"There is 1 Sima in each army, 1 deputy army Sima is temporarily vacant, 1 marching professor is temporarily vacant, 1 marching staff officer is temporarily vacant, 6 staff officers are temporarily vacant, 8 people are passing on cavalry, a team of guards, two soldiers, and 80 heavy soldiers, one of which is temporarily led by Sima of each army, a total of 1,178 people. In addition, there are 14 military doctors and 70 medical personnel, a total of 1,262 people. ”
"Fu, Chengzhang and Che Jing are temporarily serving as military commanders, and Yu Hua, Chengqi, and Lu Ping are temporarily serving as military marquis, with a total of 3,786 commanders. The Chinese army of the lord had 268 cavalry, 300 cavalry, 300 crossbowmen, 60 baggage soldiers, 6 military doctors, 30 medical soldiers, and 320 craftsmen in the battalion, totaling 1,284 people. ”
He Bai nodded silently after hearing this, for the sake of the army's combat effectiveness, He Bai has one or two deputy positions in the tun and above, and there are professors and staff officers above the qu level, the purpose is to have more experienced generals to command in wartime. In the unfortunate event that the commander is killed, the army will not be defeated by it. Under the leadership of generals such as deputies, professors, and staff officers, they can continue to fight.
It's just that the commanders, chiefs, and generals can also be promoted from among the outstanding soldiers, but when they reach the rank of deputy military marquis, deputy commander, professor, and staff officer, they can't be appointed casually, and they need to have that ability. It's just that in this way, if He Bai's requirements are followed, there will be a shortage of more than 50 middle and high-level generals in this army.
