Three days of wedding.
Zhang Xiu lazily fell into the gentle countryside and became a hands-off shopkeeper, leaving all the headaches to Jia Xu and the others, while he rested comfortably.
Of course, this comfort is temporary. After all, the current situation is still not optimistic. After the war ends, I can control the pace of progress, and the speed is in my own hands.
Predicting the disaster next year, we should be more aggressive. This year's task is to pacify Han Sui in Xiliang, and then concentrate on developing the economy of Yongliang, Nanyang and Hetao to make plans for the future.
But the most important issue at the moment is the issue of the barracks.
After the last re-planning of the barracks, due to the continuous outbreak of war, the soldiers in many barracks have changed, and there has been incoordination between the various barracks. In addition, there has been no reward for military merit in this battle.
All these things have been suppressed by my marriage, which can be regarded as buying some time to consider these issues. Of course, after the war is over, I have an outline of the rearrangement of these military camps in my mind, but how to implement it specifically , it also needs to be carefully considered.
The ones who made the greatest contribution in this battle were undoubtedly Ji Ling and Fazheng who guarded Hangu Pass.
With the sacred cow military camp in their hands, they withstood Cao Cao's attack of 100,000 troops for more than a month and firmly defended Guancheng. This ensured that Zhang Xiu and the others eliminated the Huns cavalry and won the final victory.
The second one is Gan Ning and Pang Tong who stick to Xiao Pass.
The two of them still defended Xiao Pass despite Cheng Yu's treacherous plan. Although they were defeated by Cheng Yu's vicious plan later, they also blocked the Xiongnu's advance at Xiaofeng Pass, which was a great contribution.
The third is Zhuge Liang, Pang De, Wang Shuang, and Gu Ming.
Stopping Yuan Shao's 50,000-strong army, ensuring the safety of the Hetao area, and also ensuring the safety of Zhang Xiu's back.
The fourth is Wei Yan, Huo Jun, Li Tong and others.
In today's troubled times, military power is the greatest reward for soldiers. Only by leading more soldiers can greater achievements be achieved.
Rewards are one thing. Here in Zhangxiu, there are no flashy generals like those of the Han Dynasty. Only the number of troops in the military camp represents everything. Of course, this time the military camp must be divided into ranks. After all, there are rankings. There is more motivation and treating everyone equally is not feasible in the military.
After careful consideration, Zhang Xiu decided to divide general positions into grades one to six according to the ancient system. Originally, he planned to use the army, division, brigade, and regiment of later generations to stipulate it. However, the ancients could not understand the size of this position, so they simply used the ancient system. The system makes it easier for soldiers and sergeants to distinguish their sizes.
The first rank includes generals and governors.
The second rank consists of hussar general, chariot general and guard general.
There are four towns and four generals in the third rank.
The fourth rank is the Zhonglang General.
There are five ranks of captains and generals with various titles.
The sixth rank is the school captain.
After detailed discussions and planning, Zhang Xiu decided to establish two governors, one in charge of cavalry and one in charge of navy and infantry.
The cavalry was raised to 100,000, the infantry was 70,000, and the navy was expanded to 30,000.
Based on the current economic and grain harvest conditions, Yongliang, Hetao and Nanyang can still support 200,000 troops and horses. Of course, with the support of trade, it will not be a problem.
While establishing two chief governors, Zhang Xiu also established two military advisor positions.
But who should be appointed was more difficult. According to later records, the newly arrived Zhang Liao was an outstanding commander and fully served as the commander-in-chief of the cavalry, but he was afraid that the generals would not obey. After much deliberation, Gan Ning, known as the Jinfan Thief, was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of Land and Water.
Gan Ning is also a handsome man with both wisdom and courage. Taking this position, coupled with his achievements, there is absolutely no problem.
I conceived a plan, and then finalized the plan after detailed discussions with Jia Xu, Liu Ye, and Li Ru.
The next day.
Beat drums to gather generals.
In the main hall of the general's mansion, all the generals have seats. Civil servants and generals sit on the left and right, with Zhang Xiu sitting at the top. Looking at the people in the hall below, he laughed: "When Wancheng raised troops to resist Cao Cao, the number of talents in the army was withered, and there were only a handful of them. Unexpectedly, today, the hall is already full." After saying this, he laughed loudly.
After going through those difficult days, everyone will laugh from the bottom of their hearts.
Zhang Xiu said with emotion: "This year's crisis war has ended, and our army's set goals have been perfectly achieved. It is all thanks to the efforts of all of you that we have reached the current situation. I will keep everyone's contribution in mind and dare not forget it. You have merit." You will be rewarded, and those who make mistakes will be punished. Today, we will reward you based on your merits."
Everyone straightened their backs and looked at Zhang Xiu above.
Zhang Xiu said calmly: "Perhaps you have heard that this time the rewards will be based on merit, and the deployment of the army will also be redeployed. From today on, we will set a rule that all leading generals of third grade and above will be deployed once every three years. "
There was silence in the hall, and they listened with bated breath.
Looking at the people below, Zhang Xiu solemnly said:
"Generals, obey the order!"
Everyone was solemn and solemn.
Only Zhang Xiu's voice could be heard majestic: "Female Pangde as General of Hussar, in charge of the Huben Cavalry Camp, and expand the army to 20,000 people; make Wei Yan General of the Guard, in charge of the Suzaku Cavalry Camp, and expand the army to 20,000 people; Ma Chao was appointed General of Chariots and Cavalry, in charge of the Qinglong Cavalry Camp, and expanded the army to 20,000 men."
Pang De, Ma Chao, and Wei Yan stood up and knelt down: "Here!"
"Feng Ji Ling was made the general of Zhendong, in charge of the Feihu Military Camp, and the army was expanded to 20,000 people; Zhang Xian was made the general of Zhenbei, in charge of the Cheetah Cavalry Camp, and the army was expanded to 15,000 people; Li Tong was made the general of Zhenxi, He was in charge of the White Tiger Cavalry Camp and divided the army into 15,000 men; he made Lebat the General of Zhennan and was in charge of the Tenglong Cavalry Camp and expanded the army to 15,000 men."
Ji Ling, Zhang Xian, Li Tong, and Lebat stood up and knelt down: "Here!"
Lebat was a little surprised.
Since Hu Chuquan was appointed to a sinecure position, he expected that he would not be reused. He did not expect that he would be named General Zhennan and take charge of the army alone.
"Female Huo Jun as the General of the Eastern Conquest, in charge of the Shenniu Military Camp, and expand the army to 15,000 men; make Wang Shuang the General of the Northern Conqueror, in charge of the Wild Lion Military Camp, expand the army to 10,000 people, and make Gu Ming the General of the Western Conqueror. He took charge of the Huofeng Military Camp and expanded the army to 10,000 people; he appointed Liu Bao as General of the Southern Conquest and Sili Xiaowei."
Huo Jun, Wang Shuang, Gu Ming, and Liu Bao stood up and knelt down: "Here!"
"Feng Ding was appointed as General Jianweilang, and Chen Wu was appointed General Huweilang. He was in charge of the Youkun fleet camp and expanded the naval force to 30,000 people."
Ding Feng and Chen Wu were extremely excited. They finally wanted to develop a naval army. They stood up and knelt down and said, "Here!"
"Female Gao Shun as General of the Five Features Zhonglang, commanding the trapped camp, Modao camp, and Chebing camp, and will be deployed by the governor."
Gao Shun did not expect that he would actually be granted military power and lead an army alone. He was surprised and a little excited. He stood up and solemnly knelt down and said: "Here!"
"Confer Cheng Peng as General Fenwei, Zong Yu as General Yang Wei, Li Mu as General Guangwei, and obey Gao Shun's orders!"
The three of them knelt down and said, "Here!"
General Sanwei can also be regarded as a fourth-grade military general. For them, it is already an exceptional promotion.
After the distribution of official positions and military strength, the hall fell silent.
Among the generals in the hall, only Zhang Liao and Gan Ning were left unappointed. Everyone intentionally or unintentionally focused on these two men, and only the Grand Governor was left unappointed.
Who is the one?
Everyone waited quietly.
Zhang Liao was a little nervous and his palms were sweating.
Gan Ning also became nervous.
