Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 936 Disarmament Strategy 2
"After the disarmament, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled must also be taken care of, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the soldiers." Gongsun Xu explained: "So, the army is the best choice. , Usually practice battle formations, practice martial arts diligently, charge into battle in wartime, and wait for the commander to dispatch.

The rest of the non-elite soldiers who were screened out were divided into two groups according to age and elite level. The two groups were responsible for the army, but they had to practice in their spare time. They could not let go of their martial arts and battle formations. There are not many of them now. Merchants want to do business with the Western Regions, go to the grasslands and other places. After they set up a caravan, they lack guards. Among the selected soldiers, the elite group is the most suitable.

In addition, local public security, civil lawsuits and other matters also need to be taken care of by local yamen servants, but you also know that after the war has been going on for so long, many places have no departments in charge of these matters, and when there is an emergency, the whole city enters The state of alert will waste a lot of troops. If there are special yamen servants in charge of these things, I believe the situation will be much better. What do you think, I think the army is imperative. "

"Military colonization is a good way. There have been precedents before." Xu Shu stepped forward and said, "It's just that this matter is related to the prosperity of our army and must be discussed in the long run. In addition, I dare to ask my lord how our army should deal with itself in the future. Is it possible or not?" Do you call yourself the Northern Frontier Army? In this case, I am afraid it is not appropriate..."

"Hahahaha, you are overthinking. From beginning to end, we are the Han army, the army of the great Han." Gongsun Xu laughed and said: "Whether it is the Northern Xinjiang army or the Jingzhou army, it has always been the Han army. They are all upright Han people, why don’t they continue to call themselves the Han army,,,,,,”

The disarmament plan was quickly formulated. This matter is indeed a top priority for Gongsun Xu. The Jingzhou Navy has 20 people. If you add Gongsun Xu's navy, the number of the navy alone exceeds 30. This is unacceptable to Gongsun Xu. To raise so many soldiers, how much food would be wasted.

Soon, the order on disarmament was quickly conveyed. The Jingzhou Navy merged with the Beijiang Navy and was collectively called the Navy. The navy currently maintains 20 soldiers, most of whom are stationed in Jingzhou to guard the eyeliner of the Yangtze River, and the rest of the navy is stationed at the original naval base. .

As for those sailors who were cut down, Gongsun Xu arranged a good job for them. A few years ago, Huang Zhong led the navy to go overseas and laid down some territories. Because of this, Gongsun Xu's investment in this area is relatively small. Now that he has enough time, Gongsun Xu will not be idle. The reduced sailors will soon gather at the beach for training. What awaits them will be Overseas exotic scenery.

The army has the most layoffs. Gongsun Xu has many elite troops and many troops capable of fighting tough battles, but the composition is too complicated. Among the 30 troops brought by Wen Chou and Xu Huang, there are many old and weak women and children. At that time, Wen Chou and the others had to march on the grasslands, so they could only adopt the strategy of all Manchu soldiers. After Gongsun Xu's layoff order was issued, the 30 people were almost reduced by about [-].

As for the soldiers and captives of other princes, they are also one of the main targets of Gongsun's continuous reduction. The Northern Xinjiang Army has been laying off workers continuously over the years, and then constantly replenishing fresh blood. With Gongsun continuing to manage the army, how could he let the army Moreover, it has been so many years since the establishment of the Northern Xinjiang Army. Among the first batch of soldiers, excluding those who died in battle and retired due to injuries, many of the remaining people are old.

After leaving those generals with outstanding abilities and not low positions, the rest of the older veterans have been arranged to retire. It is this kind of continuous renewal that makes the combat effectiveness of the Northern Xinjiang Army continue to improve.

Among the subordinates of Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao, Cao Cao had the most elite troops, but he also had the least strength. Since both the Cao and Xiahou clans are now under the control of Gongsun Xu, and Cao Cao is now He was only under house arrest by Gongsun Xu, so Gongsun Xu still had to be careful about Cao Cao's surrender.

In the end, after reducing the old, weak, sick and disabled, Cao Cao's elite troops were disrupted and rearranged, and then sent to Xiliang, Liaodong Hetao, overseas and other places to station. As a result, Cao Cao's main force no longer exists.

For Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao's troops, Gongsun Xu also arranged roughly in this way. Relatively speaking, most of the troops of these two princes became field soldiers, and many people from the Jingzhou army became field soldiers after being cut down. .After the downsizing, the army is more elite and its morale is stronger. In terms of military rations, Gongsun Xu now has nearly 40 field soldiers. As long as he survives for a few years, the army will definitely be able to support himself.

"My lord, so far, our army's disarmament plan has been in progress." In the big tent, Guo Jia is reporting the disarmament situation to Gongsun Xu: "Currently, the situation of our army's garrison in various places is as follows. An army of 15 is guarding Xiliang, and the road leading to the Western Regions is also under the control of the army. Xu Rong leads an army of 20 to guard Hetao, and Lord Taiwei leads an army of 20 to guard Liaodong, Sanhan, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou, etc. There are a total of 30 elite soldiers and horses in the land, 25 sailors of our army, 20 troops commanded by General Gao Shun to guard Jingzhou, and another 30 elite soldiers directly under the command of the Lord. They are stationed in the grassland, Youzhou, Bingzhou, etc. land,,,,,,"

"That is to say, even after the disarmament, the strength of our army will definitely exceed one million." Gongsun Xu interrupted Guo Jia and said, "Fortunately, there will be no problem with our army's money and food. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to feed so many troops." A horrible morale."

"My lord, the 10,000+ overseas troops have not been counted yet." Guo Jia reminded: "Over the years, my lord has been sending troops to sea to fight in all directions. Our army has occupied a lot of territory overseas. These places also need They are guarded by a large number of soldiers and horses. Fortunately, overseas is our big granary. Not only do they not need our army to transport supplies, but they can also transport enough money and food back every year. It is impossible to survive those most difficult times, all of this is due to the wise command of the lord."

"After the situation in the Central Plains is stable, I will continue to increase troops overseas." Gongsun Xu said with a smile: "In addition to increasing troops, we also need to arrange immigration. Taking these places is nothing, the most important thing is how to occupy these places. Let these places become our territory forever, so the immigration plan is about to be put on the agenda.

Didn't those trustworthy captives emigrate there in the past? Now it's time to consider those courageous Han people. By the way, the plan of sailing merchants should be publicized as soon as possible. Hehe, the most courageous ones are those merchants. Let them open the way, the emigration plan It can be carried out better,,,,,, "
