Chapter 111: Throwing Stones and Asking for Directions
Yes, Liu Tai needs to start reorganizing the army.
A part of the elite beggar army that surrendered from Tian Xi's side, a part of the elite Jin army that surrendered from Gou Xi's side, and Tian Sang, Cao Wei, Xu Miao and Gao Liang finally chose to surrender the old clan's army.
All kinds of miscellaneous soldiers, Liu Tai needs to be reorganized.
Of course, Liu Tai didn't cut them all in one go.
First of all, 60,000 people were selected from all the armies as the main army, of which Zhao An, Ge Xin, Zhou Ping, Tian Sang, Xu Miao, Gao Liang, and Su Jun were directly under the army of 4,000 people, and if there were more than 4,000 people and no more than 5,000 people, they would be responsible for weapons and equipment, and those who exceeded 5,000 people would be responsible for food and weapons and equipment, so that a full 35,000 people would have gone.
Liu Tai has 25,000 people in his hands, of which 5,000 people are handed over to Tian Yu to build a water division, and the remaining 20,000 tiger army Liu Tai personally commands, and Liu Ming is responsible for the daily training of the tiger army as Liu Tai's deputy.
And these 60,000 soldiers, if they are not married and have children, have the right to give priority to the selection of female captives after winning on the battlefield.
Even Liu Tai asked Zhang Song to buy women, as long as they were illiterate, they were all handed over to these soldiers to be selected first.
Of course, these soldiers are also smart, and what they want most is the female gentlemen who teach children to study in the Mongolian Academy.
Because these female gentlemen are literate, have their own salaries, and have a high social status, all soldiers who have reached the level of tun chief, probably the level of centurion, want such a woman as a wife.
And Liu Tai will take the initiative to hold Lalang in person on other festivals except Qingming.
There are two rounds, the first round of the man selects the woman, and if there is more than one person who picks the same woman, the second round goes to the second round, and the woman chooses the man in turn.
If a man is not selected by a woman, or a woman is not selected by a man, he will be selected again in the next time.
And the women who are selected in this way can choose to continue teaching in the school.
You can also stay at home to teach your husband and children, as well as manage the family's belongings, such as hiring slaves to take care of the acres of land that Liu Tai sent down.
After Liu Tai became a manager or exploiter, he found that as long as the official organization with a normal head should work hard to promote this family, so that single men have fetters, constraints, and pressure.
Otherwise, they are unrestrained, and the social cost of trying to manage them is too high.
It's like in modern society, every time a new generation comes out to rectify the workplace, this is not how high the new generation of people is about the law and how strong the spirit of resistance is, but purely the new generation of people who don't care about the burden at all.
Think about it, if you have an 80-year-old mother and an 8-year-old child, no matter how harsh the environment is, as long as you can get money every month, you will choose to endure it. It's not necessarily that you're willing to be patient, it's just that your family needs to wait for the rice to come to the pot.
But instead of a person standing alone in society, it has nothing to do with the whole society.
For such people, no matter how bold those in power dare to use one or two, it is impossible to use all of them to work.
Without him, such a man cannot be restrained by anything but the morality of his own heart.
One thought becomes a god, one thought becomes a demon, isn't such a person terrifying!
And Liu Taizhen has become a person in power, and when he wants to implement any policy, he also decisively bundles the implementation of policies with the family as the unit, especially with men as the target. Not to mention this era, even in the era of the great emancipation of the productive forces, women's longs are used as men, but men's ones are used as animals.
In order to restrain these soldiers, Liu Tai asked the military historians to increase the inculcation of the concept of everyone and the small family, what is a man not only to take care of the small family, but also to take care of everyone, what the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, what is the great soldier, for the people and the clan.
At the same time, the Mongolian school system also began to expand, in addition to the establishment of the school palace in Linzi, other counties also began to establish corresponding Mongolian schools.
However, only the children of the soldiers can enter, but in addition to these soldiers, there are also the children of the government soldiers.
In addition to the family, the fields, and the education of the children, Liu Tai began to implement the Yulu in the army after the salt ticket stabilized.
Yes, even the lowest level of soldiers can get a salary every month.
This point is separate from the government soldiers, who are generally not profitable, and are basically used as county soldiers.
If you want to fight with the army because of the needs of the army, the soldiers of the Nafu also have a fortune, but it is also forbidden to slaughter the city after breaking it.
With the emergence of the concept of Yulu, Liu Tai also opened corresponding exchange channels in the army, as well as the gradual formation of the pawn property storage system in the Tang Dynasty.
To put it simply, it is to establish a safe deposit box that allows soldiers to store their personal belongings, and everyone presses their fingerprints on the sealed fire clay, signs their identity, and uses Liu Tai's reputation as a guarantee.
Then if there are valuables, then make something like a tiger talisman as a token, open it and take one copy of each for safekeeping.
If it is a salt stamp of an ordinary soldier, after it is kept, write the general item on a piece of wood and bamboo, and then cut it in half along the handwriting.
All in all, it's just a matter of getting a mutually satisfactory insurance policy, so that they can have a place to store it after they get the salt ticket.
Of course, for Liu Tai, how dangerous it is for you to hold these salt tickets in your hands, how can you not enjoy it as a soldier!
All the barracks close to the city will set up a grocery store, anyway, as long as the soldiers need the things in the city, they can get them from the grocery store.
And Liu Tai will also find ways to increase production and give discounts to the soldiers.
Even in the future, Liu Tai may first get a logistics system for the army, and by the way, he will carry some supplies for the soldiers.
Anyway, for Liu Tai, the production of products is not a problem, the real problem is to let the salt stamps circulate in this society.
Because only when the salt ticket flows, this can gradually become a general equivalent, otherwise it is meaningless to simply change the salt, so much salt is all exchanged, do you plan to eat it for a hundred years!
And with this system of depositing the soldiers' property, and even Liu Tai promised that if they sacrificed, all these goods would be sent to their families, and with such a promise, the soldiers' motivation became more sufficient.
Then there is a special military history and doctors, the combined scale of the two is more than 4,000 people, but compared to the fact that you can become a military history as long as you can speak the "Book of Han", it is much slower to become a doctor.
Next, Liu Tai wanted to build a professional class of cavalry.
But Qingzhou itself is not a big state for raising horses, if you want to form a cavalry army with a scale of 5,000 people, or even give them two horses to spare, at least Liu Tai can't do it now.
After trying to make it up, he only got two thousand horses for his own guards and two thousand horses for Zhao An, and as for more, there was really no more.
With the establishment of the regular army, the subsequent reserves, that is, the government soldiers who combined the government military system and the Juntian system.
These soldiers are positioned just like the county soldiers at the beginning, the only difference is that the government soldiers need to undertake daily patrol and training tasks, and even need to assist in the defense of the city if it is attacked.
The government soldiers do not need to have the same high-intensity training as regular soldiers, and at the same time, his family's land can also ensure their livelihood, so as to reduce the recruitment cost of the government soldiers as much as possible.
It is precisely because the salary is given less that the spiritual reward cannot be less, just like those policemen who fight for the lives of gangsters, if they really become policemen for thousands of salaries, they will definitely become American policemen.
When encountering gangsters, don't care what impact it will have on society, just save your life first.
Even when he saw who was preparing to commit suicide, he would go up and stab the other party to death first to prevent the other party from committing suicide, and everything spoke according to performance.
Don't say whether the other party is dead or not, just say whether you stopped him from committing suicide.
It is precisely because these county soldiers assume the function of maintaining law and order to a certain extent, that they will directly deal with the common people, so spiritual guidance is more important than direct monetary rewards.
In the final analysis, no matter how strict the law is, it is human beings who enforce it.
The person in charge of the training of the government soldiers is Yu Yao, he did not become the general of the regular army under Liu Tai, but gradually became the chief instructor who selected the regular army from the government soldiers and was responsible for training the regular army.
To put it simply, the soldiers of various prefectures need to bring their own dry food to Linzi every year to conduct a large-scale military exercise.
In this military exercise, a part of the elite will be selected to be replenished into the regular non-commissioned officers, and at the same time, some regular non-commissioned officers who have reached the age limit will also be discharged, so as to complete the metabolism of the entire army.
Under the county soldiers, there were conscripts and migrant workers, and Liu Tai would take the initiative to carry out some major projects to ensure the survival of these people and strengthen the infrastructure in his own territory.
At the same time, because of the organization of daily exercise, they can become heavy soldiers to transport supplies in wartime, so as to ensure the logistics of the soldiers as much as possible.
Liu Tai looked at the military history in his hands, and felt that it was still too little, and he couldn't publicize the story of the Han Dynasty among the people.
However, according to his own requirements, Xu has made the prototype of opera, which is quite popular with the people of Qingzhou.
And for political reasons, Liu Taizhu promoted this opera as a historical drama of the Han Dynasty, especially relying on his own memory to write a plausible legend of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Then let Xu revise scripts such as "Catching and Releasing Cao", "Borrowing the East Wind", and "Taking Jingzhou", so as to promote the orthodox nature of Liu Han, especially Sima Yi and Cao Cao, who will die black.
In fact, the people of Qingzhou, especially the workers who did the conscription for Liu Tai, were very easy to accept.
After all, from the simple values of the people, the Sima family is garbage, at least in the Han Dynasty, there was at least a natural disaster, and the imperial court would more or less take care of it, and no matter what, the three princes would always go down.
But Sima is a regime in which a small number of people did not care about the disaster after the natural disaster, but all their minds were focused on internal fighting, especially when the Eight Kings Rebellion, who cared about the life and death of the people.
Just like this, if those actors who play Sima Yi or other Sima officials don't go backstage to remove their makeup and be seen by the people, they will spit out at least and enjoy the treatment of the beggar gang leader.
The emergence of opera, a cultural project specifically aimed at the common people in the market, brought considerable help to Liu Tai's desire to promote Han Doctrine, the Han nation, and Han culture.
At least let his voice no longer pass through cold announcements, but through real and moving stories to the people.
To shape the loyal Guan Yu, to shape the wise Zhuge Liang, and to awaken the people's yearning for the strong man at the beginning.
Layer by layer, Liu Tai didn't know what kind of role the military system he had built up in this way could play.
But at least I started to get clarity on my own.
After completing this reorganization, Liu Tai immediately issued an order to let Wang Sang be the commander and Xu Miao and Sorghum to support him.
He led 20,000 soldiers to cross the Yellow River, attacked the plains, Leling and the three counties of Jizhou in Bohai State, and reached Nanpi City, the county of Bohai County, to collect the people, strengthen the city defense, and establish a bridgehead to seize Jizhou.
The three of them quickly agreed to Liu Tai's order, and the army almost immediately began to attack the three cities of Jizhou almost immediately after the order.
Wang Sang is his own in-law in the end, plus his original qualifications are old, on top of Xu Miao sorghum, with Wang Sang as the general, he can suppress Xu Miao sorghum and the two.
Let them throw stones to ask for directions, at least before they fully seize Jizhou, at least take one place as a bridgehead for their own attack on Jizhou.
Because of last year's locust plague and the beggar army that Tian Yu brought out, not to mention these three counties, in fact, the entire Jizhou has been greatly affected, and the defense force has been greatly weakened, so it is not difficult to seize these three places.
What is really difficult is that after taking these three places, what kind of response will Wang Jun have in Youzhou and look at Jizhou.
To some extent, it can be regarded as letting these three people throw stones and ask for directions.
Don't look at Wang Jun's history as a clown among the heroes of the late Jin Dynasty, but before he was killed by Shi Leyin, the vast majority of Han people in the north still regarded him as the savior of the Jin court.
There is no way, Xianbei in his left hand, Qi Hong in his right hand, even if he is old, he is still quite ruthless in starting a war.
This makes Wang Jun look quite terrifying.
And although Liu Tai set the basic plan to ambush Youzhou from the sea, he needed to attract all of Wang Jun's attention on land.
In this way, it can cause the emptiness in his rear, otherwise Tian Yu finally took the risk and rushed over, but the other party was waiting for him, so it wasn't sent in the past!
In this process, Su Jun repeatedly asked Liu Tai for the army, but Liu Tai finally named these three people as generals, which made Su Jun quite frustrated.
However, Liu Tai smiled, and after the military meeting, he said to Su Jun by name: "Zigao, you stay for a while, there is something wrong, I want to ask you." ”
"Oh?" Su Jun looked at everyone, couldn't help but look at Liu Tai with a little apprehension, and a little curiosity.
"Do you want to be the winner of the battle against Youzhou?" Liu Tai looked at Su Jun and got straight to the point.
