Chapter 1137 There are too many loyal and brave men
Three months have passed since the autumn harvest. This year, government officials in various places have been moving very quickly, with a total of about 800 square meters of grain being released, and more than 5 million pieces of silk felt as "tax", which is also called "tax". One by one, tax is actually combined, and subdivided projects are reflected by mediocre and adjustment.
The eight hundred square meters of grain are scattered in the palaces in various places, and it is actually impossible to use them all.
In an era when physical taxes were mainly used, taxes were really just numbers. Is it possible to use taxes collected from Youzhou Dige Ge in Jiangling? It is impossible.
If Shuzhong is captured, the local food collected can only be used in Shuzhong, or a part of it is transported to Jingzhou through the Yangtze River. Want to use it in Guanzhong? Ask Zhuge Liang.
This is not the end of Qin. Liu Bang was lucky and could still transport grain through water to Guanzhong, which is no longer possible now.
Therefore, Shao Xun mobilized a total of about four million hu of grain stored in the palace this time, and he had tried his best to plunder it.
The wealthy families in Guanzhong, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Jingzhou, Sizhou and southern Jizhou also collected an additional five million grains and brought the merchants to help transport them to Chang'an, Yongxian, Nanyang and Xiangyang.
The lieutenants from all over the country almost showed their energy to feed themselves. A team of soldiers often commanded hundreds of young men to transport supplies and equipment through ships, rafts, vehicles, and even various carrying animals.
According to the levy amount assigned by the tribe, the tribe chiefs selected children from the tribe, and led the soldiers and drove cattle and sheep to various assembly points to report.
Chang'an and Nanyang have also become two large slaughtering centers.
The court used silk to buy a lot of livestock, slaughtered, marinated, and dried meat jerky.
Cheese, which is easy to carry and hungry, is even sent to the front line in bags and stockpiled.
Every war is a process of wealth being destroyed.
"Has Jin Zheng set out?" Shao Xun asked softly in the west wing of Tai Chi Hall.
Most of the people standing beside Shao Xun were the officials, namely the ministers Yang Man, Liu Runzhong, the regular attendants of the Sanqi Duan Mobo and Xin Mi.
The former Sanqi Changshi Zuying passed away at the beginning of this year, and Zu You, Zu Huan and others went home to mourn.
Thousands of troops under Zu Yue were reorganized, and the old and weak were eliminated, and they were organized on the spot as households of Runan and Ruyin counties, and they also paid a lot of money to recruit warriors to join the Wuyuan Kingdom. Unfortunately, the results were not good, and they spent money and deceived them. In the end, only a few more than 300 people were willing to take their families north.
The rest were taken to Guanzhong by Xu Liu and temporarily returned to Jin Zheng's tent to command. They obviously wanted to fight with Cheng Jun in the mountains and ridges of Hanzhong. I wonder what kind of mood Zu Yue would feel when he knew about it.
If you dare not rebel, then this is all you have to do.
"The Governor of Jin has arrived in Yong County." Yang Man replied.
Shao Xun nodded, then looked at Duan Mobo and said, "Duan Qing set out today and was appointed as the military supervisor. No mistakes should be made."
"I obey the order." Duan Mobo is not very old, but he is covered in white hair. Obviously, he has not adapted very much in the years since he arrived in the Central Plains and has not lived a very comfortable life.
The Sanqi Changshou is of a low level, but he has no specific control. It is indeed a bit uncomfortable for Duan, who has been used to giving orders in the first half of his life.
Once he loses his power, his aging speed is really amazing.
"Let Kim Jong not be anxious." Shao Xun reminded Duan Mobo: "In the past, Mr. Ge came out of Hanzhong, and the most difficult thing was food and grass. He asked him to hoard enough food and grass before fighting, and don't be lucky because of the enemy because of the food. As the saying goes, I will be defeated before winning. My family has great business and I don't need him to take any more risks. Just fight hard."
"I obey the order." Duan Mobo responded.
Shao Xun thought about whether there were any omissions again.
Jin Zheng was the governor of the four prefectures of Yong, Qin and Liang, and the battle against Cheng was his job, so he was naturally responsible for the war in one direction.
By the beginning of the winter month, the troops he mobilized were the left long direct guards, each with 3,600 flying dragon guards on both sides, plus 2,400 left cavalry guards, and a total of 13,200 palace soldiers.
There are also six thousand Heishao Zuoying, six thousand Silver Spear Zuoying, five thousand Chang'an soldiers, two thousand Qinzhou soldiers, four thousand Zuo's troops, and a total of twenty-three thousand people.
At the same time, more than 100,000 people from Hu and Han were recruited in the two prefectures of Yong and Qin. They were mainly responsible for logistics. Of course, they also had to participate in battles, such as siege.
More than 110,000 young soldiers (including more than 10,000 soldiers in the military department) serve 36,000 soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, which seems to be a lot, but if you consider the painful terrain and the difficult supplies, you may not feel that it is enough.
Shao Xun had already ordered Shao Jin, who had arrived in Chang'an, stopped and escorted a batch of resources to Yong County outside. He stayed there and transferred food and grass military supplies with the assistance of the lieutenants of various branches, and gave him the title of "Yongzhou Transportation Envoy".
It is worth mentioning that starting from Hutou's "Youzhou Interview Envoy", Shao Xun began to "create" various temporary assignments.
This position with the title of "entrusted" is very set, and it is set up according to the matter, and it is dismissed as soon as possible. It has no rank and is not a member of the official position. It was established purely to make up for the shortcomings of the official system. After all, there were only more than 10,000 officials in the time of the People's Republic of China, and there were a few more than 10,000 officials in the Daliang Dynasty.
But there are not much more.
The guards assigned to Liuzi were not withdrawn except for the Youzhou Tuqi Supervisor. After all, as a hub for transferring food, grass and military funds, Yong County also needed a large army to guard it. It was not the army that was defended, but the possible rebels in Kansai.
After explaining to Duan Mobo, Shao Xun looked at Xin Mi again and said, "Xin Qing can go to Jiangling and serve as the military supervisor.
"
"I obey the order." Xin Mi knelt on the desk and bowed after hearing this.
The military commander in the direction of Badong is undoubtedly the eldest nephew Shao Shen.
He is no longer a military commander at the six counties. He has served as the "General of the Western Expedition" in July and August, "the commander of the military commander of Jingzhou, the land and other military commanders in Jiangling." He has the military power of the entire Jingzhou.
Shao Xun also sent him a military advisor: He Lun, the former left chief of the Shanyu Mansion.
Yongsheng, Pushe Tang Jian, was promoted by Rockets, and served as the governor of Jingzhou and governed Xiangyang.
During the Jin Dynasty, the governor repeatedly invaded the power of the governor, so that in the last state, the governor often surpassed the governor and had the actual military and political power of a state, but this was not the case in Cao Wei and Puchu.
First, because the non-war governor did not interfere in civil affairs in many cases;
Secondly, although the governor and even the prefect have no right to disobey the orders issued by the governor during the war, they have the right to report to the emperor.
For example, during the Qinglong period, Sun Wu attacked Hefei Xincheng, and the governor Man Chong wanted to lead his army to rescue him. The prefect of Runan, Tian Yu, disagreed and said, "I always reported to him and the emperor followed him."
I can't disobey you, but I can let the emperor issue an order to you.
The third is the constraints of the shogunate military advisor.
In that era, military advisors were always sent by the court, and they were responsible for supervising the governors. Once the governors were unable to perform their duties, the military advisors took over directly.
For example, when "(Yang) Hu was sick, Du) was the first generation, so he was the only official to go to the East to Pacific General and lead the Southern Army Office."
Wei Guan and Xian Yuying also had the experience of taking over the power of the governor as a military advisor.
In short, strengthen the status of military advisors, serve as deputy chief of the shogunate, monitor and restrict the governor.
It’s a pity that this system of mutual control between the upper and lower levels almost became a decoration in the late Sima Yan period. The upper and lower levels were in a state of chaos.
The chief of the Mu Li hired aides (including military advisors) who were at the Central Army or above, which was subject to court review, but it was completely reduced to a formality, so that the military advisor became the confidant of the chief of the Mu Li.
Shao Zhe served as a military advisor for his mistress Pei in Kaocheng. He knew very well how powerful the military advisor was.
At that time, he was the "confidant" of the mistress. He respected the mistress during the day and was very respectful at night. He had to give him a glance at him before he dared to act rashly, and then repeatedly offend the mistress many times.
He Lun is going to supervise Shao Shen.
The troops along the way are between 50,000 and 60,000.
There are 6,000 silver spears in the camp, 6,000 Heizao Right camp, 3,600 Jinwu Guards, 3,600 Yulin Guards, 2,400 cavalry guards, 3,000 hostile troops, 15,000 troops in Hebei, 10,000 Hu soldiers in Bingzhou, and nearly 57,000 people.
Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Sizhou and Jingzhou recruited 80,000 Dingzhuang, plus navy troops, and provided logistics services. Due to the Yangtze River water transportation, the number of logistics personnel can be greatly reduced and the consumption will be greatly reduced.
The two armies fought a total of more than 90,000 auxiliary soldiers, which was quite large in scale. If there was no water transportation, it would have greatly offset the transportation disadvantages, and I am afraid that it would have to transport all kinds of materials from thirty directions.
There is no doubt that this is a "national war".
A lion fights a rabbit, and also uses all his strength.
Shao Xun never underestimated Li Cheng because this was a regime in the rising period, not the kind of regime in the decline period, which was peaceful and comfortable for a long time. It mobilized 300,000 manpower, tens of thousands of horses, and hundreds of ships to destroy this separatist force in one blow.
If this is not enough, he will go into battle himself.
"Finally, I want to talk about the matter in the north." Shao Xun looked at the two attendants and said, "Liu Qing, I appointed you as the "Pussy Envoy of the North". I will go to Pingcheng to comfort the tribes one by one, so as not to cause trouble. I will hand over the Luoyan Army and the Youzhou Tuqi Superintendent. Remember, you are the Punish Envoy and the power of life and death."
"Your Majesty." Liu Guizhong was a little surprised, and then moved.
"Your Mai Ji, what is your relationship between you and me? You know it yourself, why should you do this? If I don't believe you, who else can I trust?" Shao Xun gently patted Liu Runzhong's shoulder and said.
"Your Majesty." Liu Runzhong wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and choked, "Your Majesty is not mean to me. I really don't know what to say."
After saying that, he paused and said, "I will write a letter back and let the defeated sons rectify the troops. Before the end of the winter month, there will definitely be no less than 30,000 cavalry out of Yanmen. Murong, this little maid, I will take care of him."
"Pingcheng! Pingcheng!" Shao Xun pulled Liu Runzhong's hand again and said, "Why do you need to attack Murong? Stabilizing Dai Kingdom is a great achievement. I just want to stabilize the situation in the grassland now."
"Yes, yes, I know." Liu Runzhong nodded repeatedly.
Shao Xun looked at Yang Man again and said, "Zu Yan, you and I have known each other in Liang County for more than 20 years. Now, I can be the pacifier of Youzhou and hold the throne to Beiping."
Yang Man sighed inwardly and said, "I will write a letter back now. It is not rare for Yang's elite soldiers to be found. It will be possible to drive to Peiping in the twelfth lunar month to pacify the tribes and not cause chaos."
He knew that there were too few soldiers in Youzhou, and the generals of the town may not be completely trustworthy.
The Duan Xianbei and Murong clans had been killed before, but in recent years, there have been frequent exchanges between Peking and western Liaoning. Do you dare to say that they must be reliable? In fact, they are just fencemen.
There are ten thousand Yang Family Army who have been killed in the war years and guard it, and it will be able to extinguish the thoughts of some ambitious people.
