Chapter 193: The reorganization of the barbarian department
Don't fight unprepared battles!
Although Ma Shuo is not afraid of the revenge of the Wanma tribe, Ma Shuo will not be stupid enough not to prepare anything, otherwise, it will be arrogant.
After defeating the Hute tribe, a total of more than 12,000 horses were harvested, of which there were almost six or seven thousand adult war horses, and the rest were stallions, mares, and foals. Adding so many horses at once can not only increase the number of cavalry in a short period of time, but also make the number of horses in the horse farm under Ma Shuo's own control a significant increase.
After the last robbery of the Hute tribe, Ma Shuo established a small horse farm through a secret base. Now, with the addition of this batch of stallions, mares and foals, the size of the horse farm has suddenly expanded a lot.
The larger the farm, the more likely it is to be sustainable.
Besides, after Ma Shuo led his men to defeat the Hute tribe, he did not continue to expand further, but quickly transported the loot towards the secret base. Because of the personnel and horses involved this time, most of them, whether they were auxiliaries or clans, were mobilized to participate in the escort of the trophies.
On Ma Shuo's side, only Maro's 10,000-strong team and his personal guards cavalry remained. They didn't go back with the big army, but chose another route, although they also returned to the secret base, but if there was a suitable target along the way, they could still do another vote.
Maximizing benefits is Ma Shuo's goal.
However, the next journey made Ma Shuo feel very helpless and disappointed. I don't know if it's because the news of their operation has spread, and on the new route, not a single tribe has been encountered. However, one thing is certain, there must have been tribes on this route before, because in some places there are obvious traces of tribal life, and they were left not so long ago.
Escaped!
If nothing else, these tribes, which don't seem to be very large, should have fled.
With a little disappointment, Ma Shuo returned to the secret base with his men. Unexpectedly, their speed was actually a little faster than the other way, and when they returned, the team that escorted the loot had not yet returned to the secret base.
Two more days passed before the group dragged the long line back to the secret base.
Population, horses, all kinds of supplies.
The full harvest made everyone in the secret base excited. Population, in the barbarian area, has a very real and important significance. With an adequate population base, the issue of sustainable population development can be addressed. This time, there were a lot of women and children among the people brought back from the Hut tribe, and that was hope.
However, Ma Shuo never takes women as a reward easily. Although the identity of these women was captive, after all, the other party surrendered voluntarily under the order of Burren, so Ma Shuo still gave them a certain amount of freedom and the right to choose their objects.
Naturally, someone is responsible for the distribution of population and materials.
Li Xue, the resettlement envoy, is now the person in charge of the civil affairs of the secret base, and Li Xue is responsible for the management and arrangement of all civil affairs, and he leads a group of people to implement and manage them. Judging from the operation during this period of time, Li Xue's ability is still good, and the civil affairs of the secret base can be described as well organized.
For this reason, Ma Shuo specially promoted Li Xue's rank from the sixth rank to the sixth rank, and officially appointed him as the envoy of the barbarian battalion of the auxiliary Qin army. The affairs managed by the Yingtian envoy are also civilian, but the power of this position is much greater than that of the previous placement envoy, because it belongs to the auxiliary Qin army sequence. If it is the battalion envoy of the Auxiliary Qin Army, it can be regarded as a high-level existence in the Auxiliary Qin Army. Of course, on the side of the barbarian domain, Li Xue is also an important figure in civil affairs.
Ma Shuo's attention was still focused on the military aspect.
The day after everyone returned to the base, Ma Shuo asked his soldiers to inform Wuyan Muchi, Ma Luo, He Chi, Jin Tian and others to gather in his camp tent, and he had something to discuss and implement with everyone.
The meeting was attended by a total of eight people, including Ma Shuo. In addition to Ma Shuo, Wuyan Muchi, Ma Luo, and He Chi, the remaining three were the three cadres selected by Ma Shuo from the Qi family.
"Let's all sit down, and before we discuss specific things, we will introduce everyone to each other!" Knowing that everyone was not particularly familiar with each other, Ma Shuo motioned for everyone to sit down and first prepared to give an introduction to everyone.
"This is General Qi Biao, and in the future, he will be the envoy of our auxiliary Qin Army's barbarian department, assisting me in planning various military operations." Ma Shuo first introduced Qi Biao, Qi Biao and Qi Jing are cousins, and their grandfathers are brothers. This time, Ma Shuo's father-in-law also summoned this person. Qi Biao is much older than Qi Jing, nearly forty, and has been by Qi Cheng's side for many years, accumulating a lot of experience in leading troops, and has a strong military quality.
Ma Shuo appointed Qi Biao as the envoy of the barbarian army of the auxiliary Qin army, the purpose of which was to give full play to his advantages, strengthen the regularized management of the barbarian auxiliary Qin army, and improve the overall combat effectiveness and military quality of the team here.
"This is General Sun Bin, and in the future, he will be the military Sima of our auxiliary Qin Army, responsible for supervising all armies, picketing lawlessness, and strengthening military discipline."
"This is General Pang Xun, who serves as the history of the march of the barbarian army of the auxiliary Qin army, and is responsible for the overall allocation of the men and horses of each team, and replenishes the losses of soldiers and horses in a timely manner."
"Wuyan Muchi, given the name Ma Chi, from now on, he will serve as the commander of the 10,000th household of the Barbarian Department of the Auxiliary Qin Army! Marlo, the captain of the 20,000th household! Hechi, given the name Mach, the commander of the 30,000th household! In the future, the replenishment of the personnel of each ministry will no longer be done by the departments themselves, and all will be arranged by the marching history. Therefore, the history of the march also needs to be responsible for the recruitment and training of new soldiers, including the selection of qualified soldiers from among the captives. ”
This time, Ma Shuo didn't do much discussion with others, and directly readjusted the personnel here, abolished the original Tuzi Battalion, and formed 30,000 households with the existing people, that is, 30,000 people.
In the future, the commanders of each 10,000-household office will only be responsible for the task of combat command, and other logistics, the formulation of operational plans, and the replenishment of shortages will be handed over to the department where the marching history is located for unified arrangement. In other words, after this reorganization, the duty of the Wanhu Office is to fight, and it is a pure combat unit.
Jin Tian was still Ma Shuo's chief general and lieutenant of the personal guard battalion, so he did not participate in the affairs of the barbarian department of the auxiliary Qin army, so although he also participated in the meeting, he did not express any opinions.
However, just as everyone was about to discuss the follow-up further, a guard suddenly walked in, looking in a hurry.
