Lei Xiong glanced at Liu Yin who was aside, and seeing that he had no intention of replying, he immediately cleared his throat and replied: "Jun Fu, I thought that the army now has three thousand, and can be composed into six songs. Now I am the only one." Do you and Liu Quchang still want to promote four more camp commanders from the army to Quzhang?"
Yang Qingdao: "This makes sense, what is your strategy?" He knew that Lei Xiong had already thought about this, so he asked.
Lei Xiong said: "Master Fu, it's not because of your humble position that you can speak for the old brothers. It's just that they have been in the war for a long time, have rich experience, and have made great contributions. It's time to promote a group of them to appease the hearts of all the troops."
Yang Qing thought that what Lei Xiong said was true. He was a loyal person who spoke out for Pao Ze, so he said: "What you said makes sense. The remaining three vacancies will be selected from among the old soldiers."
After finishing speaking, he turned sideways and said to Zhang Ni: "Bo Qi, the selection of the commander of the song is based on Meng Lie's words. In addition, the eighty elite soldiers I brought from Chengdu were directly appointed as officers of the new song according to their talents, and the remaining vacancies were selected from the new soldiers. Supplement. You must carefully examine this matter of promotion and do not miss the opportunity to organize the army."
Zhang Yi clasped his fists and said: "No. It's just the prince of the mansion. Aren't there four vacancies for the qu chief?" Yang Qing replied: "I am going to appoint Shen Da as the qu chief and ask him to lead a new army. I have Zhou Xing by my side. Just lead the escort."
So Zhang Ni thought that Shen Da had been in the army for many years and was very skilled. What's more, it was completely suitable for him to be appointed as the commander of the song. Besides, Shen Da was also a confidant of the emperor. When he joined the army, he could better control the soldiers of the county.
Lei Xiong's proposal had been passed, and Yang Qing saw that Liu Yin had not said a word since he came in, so he asked, "What is Xiuran's intention? You might as well tell everyone."
Liu Yin replied: "Your Majesty, what Zhang Sima and Lei Quchang said are thorough and complete, and Yin agrees with it very much. But there is something unclear about my humble position, could you please tell me about it?"
Yang Qingqi asked: "What's the matter?" Liu Yin said: "Now our army has six songs. I dare to ask the Lord, how should the number of these troops be distributed?"
Hearing this, Yang Qing put his hand on his forehead and said with a smile: "I was negligent in this matter. Thanks to Xiuran for reminding me." After saying that, he asked Zhang Yi again: "Can you count the number of weapons and equipment?"
Zhang Yi replied: "It has been taken out. Except for the three hundred seventy-two-refined ring-headed swords and the two hundred six-stone arm-shaped crossbows that we brought from Chengdu, the weapons in the city originally had thirty or forty refining rings. There are more than 1,400 swords, more than 1,000 spears, more than 1,000 spears, more than 50 long halberds, more than 20 short halberds, more than 100 crossbows, more than 300 bows, There are more than 30,000 arrows, more than 300 pairs of iron armor, more than 1,200 pairs of leather armor, and 11 pieces of heavy armor.”
"The armament in the city is pretty good, better than I expected at first." After listening to Zhang Ni's report, Yang Qing felt a little relieved. The weapons in the city could barely equip a thousand sword and shield soldiers, a thousand spearmen, and more than 600 crossbowmen. , armored warriors can have about half.
Zhang Ni said: "Anshang County originally did not have so many weapons and equipment. Most of them were brought from Qiongdu by the former prefect when he moved the county."
Yang Qing nodded. I see. It seems that his predecessor has done a lot of practical things. As for why Gong Lu didn't expand his army aggressively, Yang Qing also knew the reason.
Once the army is expanded, the money and food in the city will be consumed very quickly, and it can only be expanded to three or four thousand people at most. These people cannot defeat the tens of thousands of high-definition soldiers and horses, so it is better to maintain the original force of more than a thousand troops to defend the city. , why bother to risk running out of money and food?
This kind of thinking has always been inherent in Wang Yi, Lu Shen and the others, and it was only slightly broken when he arrived.
"There are two units each of sword and shield soldiers, spear soldiers, and crossbow soldiers. There are still four hundred pairs of crossbows that will be filled in the future. The only more than one hundred cavalry will form separate camps, and will be directly commanded by Bo Qi for the time being. ." Yang Qingdao: "As for the training method, we will temporarily adopt the military standard method. I will make adjustments in the future."
"No." Zhang Yi stood up and responded.
The standard training method used by the Han army today is the military training method used by Prime Minister Zhuge since Jingzhou, and he has continued to improve it since then.
Although Yang Qing had a rough understanding of many military training methods in later generations, he felt that it was better not to easily change the military training methods that were well adapted to the current military system, weapons, and terrain.
What's more, there are military masters like Zhuge Liang who are good at military training in the government. It is right to follow him to practice. Especially the eight formation diagram he is perfecting is a first-class battle formation method that has been proven by history. Later, the Jin Dynasty and even the Northern Wei Dynasty During this period, the eight formations have become the national standard formations.
Of course, some training methods to improve soldiers' physical fitness and other aspects can still be applied to the current world. Yang Qing has decided to select one or two to apply to the three thousand county soldiers in the city in the future.
Seeing that the types of troops, organization, and training methods had been finalized, Yang Qing immediately stood up and said loudly: "Now that everything has been decided, you can go back to camp and prepare for war. In ten days, we will gather the army at the school ground. I want to Go and review.”
"We will obey the Lord's orders."
After hearing the words, Zhang and Yi all stood up and clasped their fists in agreement. After bidding farewell to Yang Qing, the three returned to the military camp and immediately began to organize the army according to the agreed strategy.
The first thing to do was to fill the vacant positions of the three qu chiefs. Zhang Ni first summoned Shen Da, the new qu chief, and then summoned the ten current commanders to the commander's tent to discuss matters.
Later, he ordered someone to get the merit book and carefully check the military exploits of these ten camp commanders. He already knew the top three camp commanders with merit.
He planned to first listen to the opinions of the three commanders under his command, then ask the ten commanders one by one for their thoughts, and then call some soldiers from each village to listen to their opinions on the commanders, and finally select three based on their military exploits, prestige, and ability. The song is long.
Bamboo slips and books were piled up on Yang Qing's desk. After the discussion, he had to hurry up and deal with today's official business.
Although he, the prefect, only has one county left under his rule, and the daily official affairs of the county are still handled by Lu Shen and others, the current work-for-relief strategy is in full swing, so there are suddenly more official affairs that need to be handled by the county government. got up.
Reorganizing the army, recruiting doctors, building cities, casting weapons, rushing to farm and plant, spinning and weaving... Now the four industries of military, agriculture, industry and commerce are being spread out in an orderly manner, and the affairs are complicated. Because there is not much money and food, The capital is too small, and Yang Qing, the prefect, must make his own decisions on these matters.
Fortunately, he had experienced in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a period of time, and under Zhuge Liang's guidance, his vision and tolerance were broadened. After all, he had dealt with all the family members of the Han Dynasty. He could still deal with the matter in one county, but it would take time and effort. Just strength.
"Master Fu, the show is back."
Seeing that it was time to go off duty, Yang Xi's voice suddenly came from outside the door. Yang Qing did not put down the bamboo slips in his hands, lowered his head and said, "It's Wen Ran, come in quickly."
"No one noticed, right?" After seeing Yang Xi closing the door, Yang Qing raised his head and asked.
"No, Wu Que and the others are very careful. They dress up differently when they come in and out."
Yang Qing nodded: "That's good. What's the result now?" Yang Xi shook his head and said: "Nothing unusual was found. Huo Jian has been dealing with official duties all day today. He was either at the county temple or went to the arsenal and military camp, and talked with Human contact is always done with multiple people present.”
Yang Qing smiled and said: "Normally, if I have a ghost in my heart, there will be no changes during the day when I am on duty. Only night is a good time to act. I have tested him with words this morning, deliberately trying to scare the snake. I must have done this at night. The snake will return to its hole. So I have to tell Wu Que that tonight is the best time, so be careful."
"yes."
This kind of deliberate plan to scare off the enemy is often the most effective on the day. If Huo Jian is really a mole, he will be extremely worried when he is suspected by himself. In a state of confusion, he will most likely go to his accomplices to report and discuss. In this way, As long as we send people to follow up, we can find something and verify it.
And Yang Qing felt that Wu Que and the others would definitely gain something tonight, because he had already suspected Huo Jian as early as in Chengdu.
Therefore, when Wang Yi reported to him early this morning, he was not too surprised. After summoning Lu Shen for questioning, he was already 80% suspicious of Huo Jian.
