Chapter 111: Recuperation
After Yuan Qi officially served as the pastor of Youzhou, he summoned all the original team members of Beiping, leaving only Li Yan to serve as the Taishou and guard Beiping. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
With the improvement of Yuan Qi's status, he was promoted from a county Taishou to a state pastor, and was also canonized as a hussar general by the Yuan Association. Therefore, Yuan Qi's official positions with power canonization are also getting bigger and bigger, coupled with the privileges of Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, Yuan Qi has adjusted the official positions of Wenwu under his command. In the local area, in addition to Li Yan's promotion to Beiping Taishou, Dong He and Deng Zhi were also appointed by Yuan Qi as Yuyang Taishou and Liaodong Taishou respectively, as for the original Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Du, under the pressure of Yuan Qi's soldiers, in order to save an old life, he had to obediently hand over the Taishou seal letter and return to his hometown. Gongsun Du, who dominated Liaodong for more than 20 years, disappeared. In addition, in order to facilitate management, Yuan Qi withdrew the Liaodong vassal states under his rule and incorporated them into Liaodong County, which was managed by the new Liaodong Taishou Deng Zhi. The original Kamigu Taishou died of illness not long ago, and Yuan Qi arranged Tian Mou to go to Shanggu and let Tian Mou take the position of Kamigu Taishou.
In terms of military affairs, Zhao Hu was promoted to champion general, and the position of champion general is not available to anyone, and he must be the first general under the command of champion Hou. Yuan Qi gave Zhao Hu the position of champion general, which can be seen from Zhao Hu's weight, and vaguely, Zhao Hu has become the head of the generals under Yuan Qi's command. At the same time, Zhao Hu is also responsible for commanding the elite of the Tiangui Battalion, responsible for guarding the safety of Yuanqi, spying on news, and picketing bad discipline in the army. It can be said that Tianguiying is not only a sharp knife on the battlefield, but also an internal blade in Yuan Qi's hands.
Ma Yue was promoted to general of Zhengbei and was responsible for the return of the territory to the camp; Huang Yong was promoted to general of Zhenbei; Zhang Chong was promoted to general of Pingbei; Xu Ban was appointed general of Anbei; Zuo Ci was promoted to general of Zhenglu; Xu Chu was promoted to general of Wuwei, and together with Dian Wei, who was appointed general of Hengye, he was responsible for guarding Yuanqi and at the same time served as deputy commander of Tiangui Battalion; Gan Jing was named general of Jinghai and served as the governor of the naval army and was responsible for commanding the Qilin battalion; Su Fei was named general of Lingjiang and served as the deputy governor of the navy; Wei Yan was promoted to general of Xiaocai; Pang De was promoted to general Liyi; Ma Dai was promoted to general Guangwei; and Xiahou Ruo was promoted to general Ningshuo。 The rest of the former Youzhou generals were all promoted to one level. At the same time, Yuan Qi did not forget to reward Gongsun Ruyun, and gave Gongsun Ruyun the title of General Pingyu.
In terms of civil officials, Xun Luo was promoted to the head of the Hussar General's Mansion and was responsible for managing all the things under the General's Mansion; Jia Yuan was named the military Sima and was responsible for planning and strategizing the battle; Yan Yi's original position remained unchanged, and he still served as the head of Youzhou Shepherd's Mansion, responsible for the big and small things in the Prefecture Governor's Mansion, and was promoted to Jijun Taishou by Yuan Qi; Xu Shu was named a member of the army and was responsible for coordinating Jia Yuan's battle plan; Lu Su was named Youzhou Mushi and was responsible for coordinating the supply of materials for the military; Jiang Wan was named the master bookkeeper, responsible for recording the large and small events in Youzhou, and after commenting on them, he submitted them to Yuan Qi; Gu Yong was named the chief of Youzhou and was responsible for the supply and coordination of all materials in Youzhou。
After the adjustment and promotion of the Yuan Dynasty, the framework of the leadership class in Youzhou was basically settled, and the division of labor among civil and military officials was detailed, with military generals in charge of soldiers and horses, and civilian officials in charge of money and grain. Those who have soldiers in their hands have no money and food, and those who have money and food have no military power.
Because Liaodong was incorporated into Liaodong County by Yuan Qi, there are now a total of eleven counties in Youzhou, and six of these eleven counties are directly controlled by Yuan Qi; Liaoxi Taishou Gongsun Ruyun is respectful to Yuan Qi because of Yuan Qi's kindness; the rest of the county guards are all drawn up by Yuan Ying, although they are not as obedient as Yuan Qi's cronies, but they can be regarded as thorough in the execution of Yuan Qi's orders. At this point, Yuan Qi has initially had his own power, and he is still one of the largest forces today.
After completing the personnel transfer, Yuan Qi expanded and reorganized the Youzhou Army. In the original Youzhou army, 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry were selected respectively and supplemented to the Tiangui camp and the Digui camp, so that the elite of the two battalions was expanded to 10,000 each. By the way, the 5,000 cavalry who were newly selected into the Tiangui camp, more than 2,000 people are Thorn Tower people, who were selected from the 20,000 Thorn Tower elite soldiers sent to Youzhou by King Meng in exchange a few years ago, and after several years of precipitation, these Thorn Tower people have been sinicized. The Heavenly Return Camp and the Earth Return Camp have been replenished, and the Qilin Camp will naturally not lag behind. Under the instruction of Yuan Qi, Gan Jing carefully selected thousands of people from the Liaodong Naval Army, and selected more than 2,000 water-proficient soldiers from the soldiers and horses of various counties, so that the number of Qilin Battalion also reached 10,000. In addition, Gan Jing also took over the Liaodong Naval Army, which was originally the Taishou Gongsun of Liaodong to run rampant in Youzhou, and after a series of rectifications, the old and weak were eliminated, and finally 30,000 sailors were obtained, plus 10,000 elites of the Qilin Battalion, so that the total number of sailors reached 40,000. In this way, Gan Jing finally got rid of the embarrassment of the commander of the light pole and became a veritable governor of the navy.
After the expansion of the three elite troops, Yuan Qi asked Xun Luo, Gu Yong, Lu Su and others to make a budget, and without calculating the income of the Taishi Chamber of Commerce, based on the taxes of the counties in Youzhou, it was concluded that another 30,000 troops could be expanded. As for the income of the Taishi Chamber of Commerce, Yuan Qi will not use it easily, and he will continue to enrich the armaments of the three elite troops. After getting the accurate figures, Jia Yuan and Xu Shu stayed up all night, making a detailed assessment of the specific distribution of the 30,000 troops that would be expanded. With an army of 30,000, 10,000 were left as regular troops, and the remaining 20,000 troops were scattered to the counties to serve as county soldiers. According to the geographical location and tax situation of each county, how many military horses should be arranged in each county, Jia Yuan and Xu Shu have made accurate data for Yuan Qi's reference. Yuan Qi only took a cursory glance at it, and let him go to recruit soldiers according to Jia Yuan and Xu Shu's proposal.
A month later, the 30,000-strong army had been recruited. That is to say, the prestige of Yuan Qi is too high in Youzhou, so he can gather 30,000 troops within a month, and replace them with other people to recruit troops, maybe he will not be able to recruit 30,000 troops in a year. After all, Youzhou is vast and sparsely populated, except for the old, young, sick and disabled and women, there are not many young and strong people left, not counting the need to leave enough green labor to farm, after subtracting these factors, Yuan Qi can recruit 30,000 soldiers in a month, which can be said to be very fast.
30,000 new troops gathered in Jicheng, and the generals under Yuan Qi conducted training respectively. Three months later, after the training of the new army was completed, Yuan Qi selected 10,000 of them to be incorporated into his command, and then scattered the other 20,000 new troops and distributed them to various counties to guard the places. In this way, the army under Yuan Qi's command reached 150,000 people. Among them, 30,000 were the elite of the three sharp knife troops, 40,000 were the naval army commanded by Gan Jing, 40,000 were county soldiers scattered to various counties, and the remaining 40,000 were regular troops directly under Yuan Qi. Among them, the 40,000 regular troops were also different, of which 10,000 were mixed cavalry of Han Chinese and surrendered Thorn Ta people, with Zuo Ci and Zhang Chong commanding 5,000 respectively, and 20,000 were infantry, composed of Xu Bao, Wei Yan, Ma Dai, Pang De was led by four people, each of whom commanded 5,000 men, another 5,000 were full-time archers, led by Huang Yong, and the remaining 5,000 troops were led by Xu Chu and Dian Wei, who were responsible for protecting Yuanqi's safety when the Tiangui Camp was out to fight, and also concurrently served the task of conveying the orders issued by Yuanqi.
It is said that it is a 150,000 army, but Yuan Qi knows that once there is a big chaos, the men and horses under his command will not be able to fully put into the battlefield at all, needless to say, the county soldiers in various places need to say, their duty is to protect the counties and counties, and they cannot easily leave the local area, and the remaining 100,000 people, and some people must be left to guard Jicheng, and it is impossible to call them all at once; in addition, if it is fighting in the plains, then Gan Jing's 40,000 naval army, I am afraid that only 10,000 elites of the Qilin Battalion can come in handy. In this way, the military horses that can be mobilized at will from Yuan Qi are only 50,000 or 60,000 without counting the naval army. However, Yuan Qi did not regret forming a naval army, he knew that sooner or later the war would spread to the southern states, and the sooner he formed a naval army, he would accumulate experience one day earlier. He didn't want to crammed and wait until he needed it to form a water army.
When it comes to the navy, it is necessary to mention the Jiangdong tiger Sun Ce, since Gan Jing selected the navy on a large scale, Sun Ce has been by Gan Jing's side, and from time to time put forward some constructive suggestions for Gan Jing's reference. Sun Ce, who grew up by the river, is very familiar with the mode of water warfare, and Sun Ce's father, Sun Jian, started with the water army. Under Sun Jian's ears, Sun Ce can be said to be an expert in water warfare, and he is quite good at arranging troops with warships on the river. Gan Jing and Sun Ce's repeated exchanges of experience and experience have significantly improved the level of the two in commanding water battles.
Taking advantage of the leisure time of training the new army and forming a naval army, Yuan Qi and Master Fu Shaozi took time to improve the performance of the stone thrower and the arrow tower, these two big killing weapons in the three of them meditatively, their own drawbacks have been modified a lot, although they still can't satisfy Yuan Qi, but compared to the previous ones are much more perfect. After the drawings were designed, Yuan Qi began to recruit craftsmen to modify the original stone throwers and arrow towers according to the drawings, and at the same time make new ones in batches.
During this time, Yuan Qi finally moved out the horse Sanbao, which had been buried in his heart for a long time, and secretly summoned a hundred blacksmiths to build it according to the drawings he had drawn. In the past, due to the lack of strength, although Yuan Qi knew that the cavalry in this world used very simple riding tools, he did not dare to expose these three treasures, for fear that he would be able to build an armed force in batches after being obtained by someone with a heart. Now Yuan Qi has no such worries, whether it is the strength of his command or the financial resources in his hands, Yuan Qi has to surpass the other princes, the only deficiency may be that the population of Youzhou is much less than that of the Central Plains and the south. But it doesn't matter, Yuan Qi has extorted tens of thousands of Thorn Tower people from the King of Thorn Ta Meng a few years ago, coupled with the successive battles in the past year, Yuan Qi dismissed a lot of the captives who surrendered, let them return to their hometowns to farm, and if they have no land, Yuan Qi also asked the county guards to give them land and farming tools, as long as after the autumn harvest, according to a certain ratio, with grain to repay.
Yuanqi's move can be said to be the prototype of the Tuntian system, which invisibly attracted many displaced people and played a role in stabilizing people's hearts. If this development continues, ten years later, Yuan Qi will not worry about the sparse population of Youzhou.
