Northern Dynasties

Chapter 467
The structure of the Chinese and foreign armies in the Overlord's Mansion is set, the sergeants of the Chinese army have become professional soldiers like the Xianbei sergeants before, and the foreign army is the township, regiment, state and county soldiers, and the organization and management are still very loose.

In order to reflect the management power and authority of the Bafu over these township groups, the Bafu chose the village chiefs and granted military power to bring local powerful and armed forces under control.

Needless to say, the virtues and reputation of these selected state leaders are second to none. The most important thing is that they have the most private tribes and are the most powerful group of people in the village.Only in this way can the local military system be quickly built and the effect maximized.

However, Huazhou is the seat of the Overlord's Mansion, and many Beizhen military leaders have also settled here. Compared with other regions, it is naturally different. The voice of the powerful in the village is obviously not great.

Guo Yan was born in the Guo family of Taiyuan, and settled in Fengyi County, Huazhou because his ancestors served as officials in Kansai. .It is obviously because of the decision of the hegemony rather than the election of the village that the person has to be elected as the leader, or he deserves the name.

In the final analysis, the Overlord's Mansion still does not want the local local forces in Huazhou to be too strong.Guo Yande's choice of chief hope is the same as Zhou Changming's previous one-step commander-in-chief of Wuxiang County. The logic inside is the same, and they don't want to support an overly strong representative of local forces.

Zhou Changming's position as commander-in-chief was donated by Li Taizhen to help him, and he has worked hard for several years to participate in river defense and the reorganization of the Chinese army, and so on.

Although Guo Yan is also a famous person in the village, his previous resumes were all civil servants such as officials of the Taiwan government and court officials, and he had no experience in commanding troops in combat. He was suddenly given the position of being in charge of the township soldiers in Dangzhou. It was inevitable that he was a little at a loss.

If it is said that the change of authority can gradually get on the right track only by self-adjustment and adaptation, then in some cases it is completely beyond his ability.Because the number of battalions in the township regiment is seriously insufficient, no matter how much he adjusts to adapt, it will not help.

In the military organization structure of Bafu, the prefectures, counties, and township regiments are the backup and supplement of the Chinese army, undertaking local security and relatively easy combat tasks, and sometimes undertaking combat assistance to the Chinese army, such as building fortifications, Transport baggage and so on.

In some places, such as the several prefectures in western Henan, the tyrants are the most important military force, and their combat effectiveness is by no means inferior to that of the Overlord's Central Army.

Although Huazhou is the seat of the hegemony, and the Chinese army brigade is also stationed here, it does not mean that the state, county and township regiments are not important. On the contrary, more township regiments are needed.One is naturally serving as an auxiliary soldier of the Chinese army, and the other is participating in river defenses and repairing fortifications, and there are also many other tasks.

The state, county and township regiments are not a regular army. At least half of the supplies need to be raised by themselves, and they don't have a fixed base. Last year's crisis of the army pressing down on the border also included ice digging at the river mouth every year and so on.

Guo Yan got to lead the township soldiers last year, but it went smoothly at the beginning. He handled the military affairs of the Huazhou township soldiers in an orderly manner before and after the Battle of Yubi.However, after the township soldiers disbanded and returned to their hometowns last winter, problems began to appear one after another, and the biggest problem was the large shortage of battalion soldiers.

"Last winter, the township regiment was disbanded on the spot. It was supposed to order the masses to gather in the camp after the end of March and April in the late spring, after the farming work had come to an end, to train and perform military exercises and take turns to defend the river. But now that the army period is approaching, it should have gathered eight There are only [-] soldiers in the camp at the moment, and there are more than [-] of them who are from the tribal tribes of the Di tribe and the chieftains."

When Guo Yan talked about this, he had a bitter expression on his face again, and after a long sigh, he continued: "Recently, the general has been visiting the village's sages and elders frequently, but they just sue me, and the soldiers are scattered among the wild woodcutters. It is difficult for them to gather together even if they are mining wasteland..."

After listening to Guo Yan's narration, Li Tai also understood in his heart, and understood why Guo Yan came to him for help.

The so-called township armed forces did not generally recruit young men from the township as soldiers, but mainly the township defense garrison and strong private songs that already existed and were not low in organization.For example, the Shangyang Garrison where Zhou Changming was located before was part of the township regiment.

Guo Yan was able to successfully complete the task last year, but this year he couldn't even get the basic staff together.To put it bluntly, it is not a problem of his personal ability, but that the rule of the hegemony is still insufficient to infiltrate and deter the order of the village.

He is not the leader elected by the village, but selected and ordered by the overlord, so his authority comes from the overlord rather than the village.Last year, Gao Huan's army besieged Yubi, and naturally everyone in the village was in danger. Of course, there are many people and strength, and only by gathering together can we deal with the danger of military disasters.

But now that the danger has been lifted, everyone is of course busy with their own business.Guo Yan himself lacks prestige and appeal in the village, and his family has to do hard military service.If he can give an order, gather villagers, or invite everyone to drink and eat meat, of course there will be no such difficulties.

His own prestige is not enough to summon the soldiers from the village, so of course Guo Yan has to turn to someone who is capable of doing so.However, under the circumstances that the Bafu intends to suppress the local nostalgic forces in Huazhou, there are really not many such characters, and Li Tai is the person who is most likely to have such influence.

Li Tai's reputation today is not limited to Shangyuan. Although he is not often in his hometown, the situation and situation of the countryside covered and influenced by the Qumeng formed by himself is getting bigger and bigger. His popularity is enough to reflect the grandeur of his local voice.Guo Yan came to ask him for help, and he also worshiped the right temple gate.

"At the end of the preface, the local voice does not match, and it is by no means self-effacing. But since he is shy and accepts the ministry, he always needs to do his best. Now that the reputation is so bad, it is really embarrassing. But one person's dereliction of duty is small. If the hometown is wronged by me To be accused of being stubborn and difficult to control is even more contrary to the righteousness of the village. Knowing that General Zhou has a deep relationship with Xihe Bus, I have the audacity to ask for an introduction."

When Guo Yan talked about this, his body turned from bowing to bowing, and at the same time, he said sincerely: "I don't have enough pity for people who steal their names. But if the nostalgia causes slander due to lack of talent, the masses will not be able to let go. The Gongmen Pavilion of Xihe stands tall, and today I am lucky enough to be seated at the banquet, I would like to ask my subordinates to give me a ruler mat, so that the servants can listen to the teachings, I am very grateful!"

Seeing this scene, Li Tai hurriedly avoided the table and tried to help Guo Yan, but Guo Yan couldn't afford it.

Next to him, Zhou Changming also got up from the table, stood aside to support Guo Yan and said: "General Guo's admiration is beyond words when he talks about Lang Jun's deeds with others. He especially admires Lang Jun's charitable deeds to benefit the villagers. Today, when you come to pay homage to Lord Lang, you first tell about your sorrows and sufferings, and then invite you to enshrine in the door. This is also open and sincere, and it is not for the purpose of stealing fame and confusing the masses."

During this period of time, Li Tai has also faced many requests for refuge from Shiliu, and this situation has become somewhat common, but today's experience is still a bit different.

The Guo Yan in front of him is not an ordinary person, but the current leader of the Huazhou Dangzhou. Although he does not really deserve his name, since the Bafu conferred this honor on him, it is obvious that he appreciates him.

But now, the leader of Huazhou chosen by the Overlord's Mansion bowed in front of his seat, begging to be his disciple.To be honest, this really made Li Tai feel a little vain. Could it be that the Lord Luke, is the day of another revolution coming?

Leaving Guo Yan's plea aside, it's not easy for Li Tai to sit idly by.

As Guo Yan said, if he can't handle Huazhou's local soldiers, he will certainly be dereliction of duty, but Huazhou's rural conditions will definitely leave a very negative impression on the Bafu. This place is the foundation of the Bafu. It must be cleaned up.At that time, Li Tai's series of rural arrangements will naturally be greatly affected.

So after thinking about it for a while, he said to Guo Yan: "I have seen General Guo before, he is indeed a talented person, willing to bend this door will also make my house shine. There is nothing complicated in the household. The only rule is that there is no violation of one heart and one mind, mutual help and mutual assistance. If you do something that damages the family's reputation and morality, you will be punished without mercy!"

Guo Yan recommended himself as Li Tai's protégé, because of course he valued Li Tai's super prestige in the village, so that he, the head of the state, would be widely valued by the villagers, and he could do things well.

If you have something to gain, of course you have to pay something.Although disciples are not slaves, they still have to share the benefits brought by the family master's power and prestige, and of course they have to serve loyally in return.

"Thank you, Lord, thank you for your willingness to accept me! I must abide by the family rules and promote the style of the family, and dare not go against it."

Guo Yan hurriedly bowed again and said that a big stone in his heart finally fell, and with the support of this Lang Lord, the villagers dared not turn a blind eye to him anymore.

After Li Tai thought for a while, he said to Zhou Changming: "If Changming is not in a hurry to go back to the mansion, then I will trouble you to visit the families of the villagers recently and tell them that I will hold a banquet in the household and introduce new people in the household by the way. People from the same country meet each other, get to know each other, and get along with each other in harmony in the future."

Besides the Guo Yan in front of him, he also took in other disciples.These people are not only engaged in the Zhufu, if necessary, they will also arrange and manage some housework, and it is necessary to deal with the fellow villagers, and it is also necessary to introduce each other.

"Since your lord ordered it, I will definitely do it."

Zhou Changming said quickly after hearing the words, and then sighed again: "If it wasn't for the entanglement of the soldiers, I really want to return to the Lord Lang with Qu Ji."

After Da Xiwu blackmailed Li Tai, he released Li Quji contentedly.

However, Zhou Changming commanded the army formed based on the original Wuxiang county and township regiment. Changing other generals may not be able to move freely, and the transfer of positions is restricted, so he is still under the command of He Lanxiang, the governor of the right army.

It is said that Zhou Changming needs to visit the village to inform the people, but this time when Li Tai returns to his hometown, many clansmen from wealthy families came to Shangyuan to welcome the party in person, and they have not left yet, so they only need to go around Shangyuan for a week before they are notified The seven seven eight eight.

A few days later, this rural banquet to introduce disciples to the villagers was held in Shangyuan. In recent years, all the disciples who have joined Li Tai's command and are now in Shangyuan have all traveled and gathered here. Gentlemen meet.

These people may not be born here, and some even came to Shangyuan with Li Tai for the first time, but because of their relationship with Li Tai, they have also received sincere welcome, warm praise and sincere encouragement from the villagers. Create greater feats under the leadership of Li Tai.

Guo Yan, who was also among them, also caused quite a stir during the banquet. He was not so famous in the village before, but he quickly became famous after becoming the governor of the state, but he received the most attention. Crying and sarcastic discontent, few congratulations and encouragement are only from relatives and friends.

But this time when he attended the banquet as Li Tai's protégé, Guo Yan received much better treatment than before. Even before the banquet was over, a local tycoon approached him to inquire about the assembly of the local soldiers .

Li Tai was neither a governor of the state nor a general of the foreign army, so he naturally didn't want to openly intervene in the gathering and distribution of village soldiers, and he didn't mention it at all at the village banquet.But many things don't need to be expressed directly in words. Just because he accepts Guo Yan as his disciple, people in the village can interpret a lot of messages.

It is now late March, and Guo Yan has no time to stay in Shangyuan for a long time. After participating in this banquet, he stayed overnight and set off on the road in a hurry. Go away.

This is the assembly point of the state army and township soldiers, and the huge camp is enough to accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers to stay here.When Guo Yan came here for inspections, there were few troops stationed here and the camp was empty, but now that he went there and returned, more than 2000 village soldiers arrived and settled down on the same day.

In the next few days, there was an endless stream of troops from all sides leading the village regiments to the Chaoban camp, looking at each other. Finally, before the arrival of April, the number of village soldiers stationed in the camp reached more than 1.

Naturally, there were some town soldiers who obeyed the previous order and arrived on schedule, but Guo Yan also understood that if he hadn't been worshiped under Li Tai's family to gain the prestige of the Lord Lang in the village, it would be impossible to gather them as scheduled based on the previous military order alone. To so many country soldiers.

So while happily reporting to the foreign military governor's office, Guo Yan did not forget to send someone to Shangyuan to report the letter. This feeling of finding a big backer for the organization is really wonderful.

Even the past 30 years of life in the countryside, coupled with the honorary blessing given by the Taiwan government to the head of the village, cannot make Guo Yan feel that he is as important as he is in the village today!
For Guo Yan, the great difficulty that is crucial to the future, for Li Tai, it is just a small episode of recruiting an extra student.Right now, he mainly enjoys the rare and leisurely time of marriage leave. When the situation in Henan develops further, even if he will not go to Henan in person in his current position, it will be difficult for him to have the leisure time he has now.

Therefore, in the past few days, he accompanied the newlyweds to wander around the countryside during the day, and met with his family members at night to learn about the development of public and private industries and discuss the next step.

Today, he is involved in military and political affairs in the Bafu and is very important. Unless Yu Wentai intends to continue to attack the Eastern Wei and Jinyang in Northern Shaanxi, he will not return to Northern Shaanxi to take charge in the short term.

But now his personnel arrangement in northern Shaanxi is already very rich and has a very solid foundation. Unless the Bafu wants to focus on managing northern Shaanxi as the Kinki states and wipe out his personnel arrangement, otherwise It is very difficult to shake his current control in northern Shaanxi.

Next, in the north of Shaanxi, of course, Tuntian will continue to develop, and the scale will continue to expand.Moreover, the victory of the Battle of Yubi also made the salt interests in Hedong more stable and predictable, and greatly increased its attractiveness to the current flow. It is a good opportunity to promote a wave of opening up China and France.

If the tycoons in Kansai want to join the salt industry to share profits, Kaizhong Law also provides them with a convenient and easy-to-operate way.Li Tai's dream of gathering many Kansai local tyrants to go to northern Shaanxi to be his tenants will surely come true in the near future.

In order to promote the implementation and development of this policy, he even planned to give up part of his interests in northern Shaanxi to attract more people to join in.

Although the north is not currently the main military base of the Western Wei Dynasty, the pressure on the frontier defense is also not small, and the replacement of the old and new hegemons is about to take place on the Mobei grassland, whether it is to take advantage of the chaos to receive part of the legacy of Rouran's decline, or to avoid Turks in the coming year. When the dominance rides on the head and dominates, both sides also need to make arrangements early.

If northern Shaanxi can stably supply border defense military supplies and army supplies, then when Li Tai takes power, he will have the confidence and foundation to drink horses from the Yin Mountains and attack Mobei after cleaning up the Northern Qi!
Of course, these are very long-term ideas, and there are also plans for the present.With the vigorous development of Bafu's work of selling the resources of mountains and lakes in Zhuzhou counties, Li Tai also continued to buy properties everywhere.

Although he has the same power in Huazhou Township today, there are still many local snakes that are difficult to resolve in the whole of Kansai. If there is any conflict of interest with the locals, it will be very difficult.

But if you want to attract some of the personnel assets of these local tycoons to northern Shaanxi through the opening of China, then you have the means to check and balance these local tyrants: if you dare to make things difficult for me in the village, I will dare to mess with you in northern Shaanxi!

Therefore, when Gao Bin went to take office in Xihe County and came to say goodbye to him, Li Tai also specially told him to strengthen investment attraction through a series of preferential policies. Only in the past can we live a better life in the future.

This kind of leisurely, relaxed and comfortable newlywed life in the countryside has not passed for a few days. As the time entered April, the Taiwan government issued an urgent order to enter the countryside, and they hurried back to the Taiwan government.

Because of the further development of the situation in Henan, after remaining strangely silent about Hou Jing's rebellion for more than two consecutive months, the Eastern Wei finally took a further move, sending troops from Yedu to the south to put down the rebellion.

He always had to pay back when he came out to hang out. Li Tai complained in his heart that his marriage leave had been greatly reduced, but he didn't know the reason was that he had plundered Jinyang before, so that Gao Cheng seized the opportunity to clean up his cousin Cui. Zhou was very smooth, and he arrived in Yedu ahead of schedule and sent troops to quell the rebellion, which in turn led to the early end of his marriage leave.
