Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1057
Most of the grass and trees in the field have withered, thousands of riders rolled past, the knights wore fox fur hats, bows and strings, and there were a large number of startled wild beasts in the field, and they fell to death one after another.Occasionally, some large and non-dangerous targets, such as wild deer, were surrounded and driven to the center of the team for the nobles to shoot and hunt.

whoosh...

The arrow flew past, brushed the back of the deer and fell to the ground obliquely. Shen Zhezi slowly retracted the bow without blushing and heartbeat, and glanced to the left. The wild deer that survived the catastrophe was shot and fell to the ground.But Tian Jing didn't dare to get carried away because of this, and cast a stern look at the knights who were about to cheer nearby.

Shen Zhezi also realized that he was simply a ruthless atmosphere killer during the hunt, so he simply waved his hand to signal the entourage to hunt by themselves, while he reined in the reins and walked forward slowly.

In fact, Shen Zhezi himself is not very keen on activities such as hunting. Without him, he is just not good at riding and shooting.

Many things really depend on talent. It is obvious that Shen Zhezi is completely inferior in this respect. He has practiced riding and archery for a short time, and there are many first-rate masters and famous teachers around him. He has always been sloppy, and the hit rate of fixed targets in a quiet environment is not bad, but in this large-scale and chaotic hunting scene, if any beast falls under his arrows, it is really purely self-sufficient.

Inexperienced skills lead to a lack of interest, but due to physical limitations, in order to reflect the spirit of martial arts, such activities have to be organized frequently.For example, the current winter hunting also has a very grand reason, in order to avoid the cold and hunger of winter beasts and hurt people.

After all, this era is different from later generations. There are many ferocious beasts in the wilderness, which are a big threat to villages and travel.Even if the government does not organize large-scale hunting, townships often must call up village braves to hunt and drive away wild animals.

In order to avoid the embarrassment of the governor, Shen Zhezi's guards were even embarrassed to use arrows with their own unique marks, so that the governor would not be so obvious when counting the prey.It can be seen that in order to maintain the image of the governor as wise and martial, they really took great pains.

Shen Zhezi's trip this time is not just a simple safari, there is another task, which is to visit Xi Jian in Xuyi, which is actually a formal handover.

Regarding this point, after Shen Zhezi returned to the town, Xi Jian sent several letters to urge him.However, after Shen Zhezi returned to the town, there were too many things to be busy with, rectifying the administration of officials and maintaining the stability of people's hearts, and it was only now that he finally had time.

Going to Xuyi this time can be regarded as officially bringing Xuzhou under the rule.Therefore, Shen Zhezi had a large number of entourages on this trip. Except for Chang Shi Duhe and other important officials staying behind, others such as Yu Tiao, Wang Shu, Shan Xia and others all followed him, including Mao Bao who had just returned to the town. And Xiao Yuandong and other generals.

Xiao Yuandong rode his horse to follow beside the governor at the moment, and he was not in a good mood.This time Xie Yi finally felt elated. Not long after Xiao Yuandong left the Luoxi front line, even before he had left the Zhiyuan Pass, the news of conquering Tong Pass came from the back road.Counting the time, it turned out that Xie Yi was able to take it easy and return to Luoyang to rest and make a man before he could return to the town.

All the way back to Shouchun at high speed, Xiao Yuandong had just returned to the mansion, and before he even had time to go home to take a look, he was immediately ordered to travel with the governor, so he was so busy.

Seeing others galloping and hunting in front of the queue, he followed the governor like a little daughter-in-law. Seeing the frequent harvests ahead, he was really itchy, but he dared not complain.

Shen Zhezi didn't know that his beloved general under his command was full of slander towards him at the moment, he waved his hand to let Xiao Yuandong come closer, and said with a smile: "I have been working hard all the way, and I have no time to stop, and I will travel far in a blink of an eye, Yuandong has worked hard .”

When Xiao Yuandong heard this, regardless of his mood, at least on the surface he was full of respect: "Soldiers and horses can only be used if they work hard and do their best. The general will be frequently appointed by the governor of the capital. I don't know how many colleagues I envy. feel tired."

After saying this, he himself was ashamed of his hypocrisy, and his face was slightly red.

After Shen Zhezi heard the words, he laughed. As a general, what kind of talents do you like to use the most?
The Governor's Mansion is indeed full of talents, Du He's political ability, Xie Ai's strategy, Guo Song's prudence, Han Huang's bravery, Xie Shang's demeanor, Ji You's meticulousness, Yu Tiao's economics, Jiang Zhi's Publicity and so on, these people not only have compound all-round talents, but also have outstanding aspects, and each can be used.

The most important thing for a wise commander is to be able to fully understand and discover the abilities of his subordinates, and arrange them in appropriate positions.But this is just a rational balance, but when it comes to feelings, there is no doubt that he likes people with luck more, and is willing to appoint lucky generals like Xiao Yuandong who have no reason at all.

In his early years, Shen Zhezi didn't really believe in the theory of luck. He believed in human effort. However, as his status got higher and his ability increased, he felt the importance of luck more.This is like a joke about Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang in later generations. He wanted to rob his family and rob his house, but he didn't intend to make the fake come true.

It may be a little frustrating to say this, but the fact is that all kinds of hard work are naturally a prerequisite for planning a major event, but whether it can be achieved in the end is more or less related to luck.Take Shen Zhezi himself as an example. Whether it was the power struggle in Jiangdong or the Northern Expedition in the past few years, he would not have achieved this step without the help of luck.

The world is full of uncertainties. No matter how human beings pursue perfection, they can only minimize this uncertainty, but cannot completely eliminate it.People with good luck can turn this uncertainty into their own benefit. This is completely unreasonable, and this is also a kind of charm in life.

Take this guy Xiao Yuandong as an example, he is now the most famous candidate in Shen Zhezi Zhaowu's old department, he has made great progress all the way, and his luck is so good that it makes people crazy.Especially as the battle in Luoxi gradually spread, the chiefs of various ministries, such as Han Huang, Xie Ai, Lu Yong, Shen Mu, etc., all wrote letters to send people to the town as soon as possible, hoping to call Xiao Yuandong under their command.

This is not a kind of superstition and lack of self-confidence, the key is that this guy's luck is so good that it is jaw-dropping.Shen Zhezi turned a deaf ear to the requests of the generals from all walks of life, but appointed Xiao Yuandong as the direct leader of the governor's mansion. He also wanted to try the refreshing feeling of hanging up.

"The preparations for the new army, what about the personnel? You have traveled around the various ministries these past few months, have you made things difficult?"

Putting aside some daydreams in his mind, Shen Zhezi asked again with a smile.

When Xiao Yuandong heard this, he couldn't help feeling ashamed.When it comes to making things difficult, it's not for nothing, it's not because the generals are reluctant to transfer out their elites. After all, he was ordered by the governor to select talents from various armies.And most of the troubles were done by him himself, and it was unavoidable to show off. When other generals saw him, they would hardly have a good face.

"The selection of personnel has reached nearly [-], and they are all the elites of the various armies. We just need to plan the camps and order them to be trained. Within a few months, the general will eventually send a group of brave and brave fighters to the commander-in-chief. military!"

The resentment caused by his cheap mouth is naturally not good for making a small report in front of the governor, Xiao Yuandong patted his chest to assure him after hearing the words.

"I will give you time, personnel, and material resources. There is no need to rush into a division. The only thing is that after you form an army, you must give me a satisfactory answer, so that we can stabilize the situation."

Shen Zhezi said seriously again.

The preparation and training of the new army is also an important step in his next military reform.As the stalls spread out, Shen Zhezi also felt that it was not easy to maintain.Especially similar to Huainan's model of maintaining a large regular army by recruiting troops. In previous years, because of the bonus of North-South goods communication and strong offensive needs, even if it was a bit difficult, they had to grit their teeth and bear it.

But with the expansion of the control area, the efficiency of all aspects is actually reduced.In areas like Qingzhou and Yanzhou, since there has not been time for strong intervention, the degree of attachment of the people is actually very low.

In previous years, with the Huainan area and half of Yuzhou, the Dudu Mansion could already support a hundred thousand troops.But now Qing and Yan are only stationed with Shen Mu and Xu Ning's troops in the early [-]s, and they can't achieve self-supply in terms of food and grass. They have to rely on the town to continue to transport it. This also shows Wang Shi's rule in the local area. So weak, the so-called recovery is only a nominal occupation.

Master Wang is rich in materials and excellent in use of equipment, behind which is huge financial pressure, and the expenditure in this area accounts for more than half of the total expenditure of the Dudu Mansion.Correspondingly, it is difficult to have higher investment in civil restoration. The current seemingly brilliant situation is actually overdrawing the war potential of the Dudufu.

After taking over Xuzhou, the pressure on the military support of the Dudu Mansion will more than double, but the income will not increase multiple times.In order to be able to maintain mobilization power and war potential stably for a long time, it is imperative to take the oath of the village.If it continues with the previous model of raising troops, the Governor's Mansion will soon fall into a vicious circle of militarism, which is very unfavorable for dealing with subsequent rounds of shocks.

Although the government military system in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Sui and Tang Dynasties is a model of the combination of soldiers and farmers, it also needs a unique historical background and environmental cooperation.You can learn from it a little bit, but if you copy it, you will definitely die a miserable death.

The establishment of a military government is imperative. In the future, if a large number of soldiers are eliminated and released to the countryside without supporting resettlement policies, it will definitely lead to disastrous consequences.Their good military accomplishments make it impossible for these people to be content with their destiny and stay in poverty like ordinary people.

Shen Zhezi's basic site is in the open land of the Central Plains, not in the relatively closed environment of Guanzhong. Once the military mansion is laid out on a large scale, and the soldiers guard the farming and weaving, the centripetal force will inevitably weaken. This is unavoidable. of.

The formation of a new strong army is an enhancement of the previous military classification. The military expenses saved by the military government after self-support can be invested in these elite soldiers on a large scale.

These elite soldiers will be the absolute main force in Shen Zhezi's hands in the future, specializing in killing and attacking, and the military governments in various places will provide sufficient reserve troops that can be recruited at any time.

In the future, through systematic military elections, a ladder of exchanges will be formed between the two, so that the upper-level elite legions will have a sense of honor, and the lower-level military soldiers will have a rising channel, which can maintain a stable martial atmosphere for a relatively long time.

The original Shengwu Army included the new army under Xiao Yuandong's command, which was an attempt by Shen Zhezi.

　Alas, this routine is a bit weird, so I have to adjust it quickly. . .In addition, the reason why the previous chapter did not list morality as the standard for official supervision is because there is no standard for morality at all. In the era of serious party disputes, it is often only about morality and not about ability, such as the morally perfect Donglin Party. . .
