The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 491 Resetting the Army

Guan Da Sima, who is thousands of miles away, of course doesn't know what the monarchs and ministers of Soochow are thinking.However, in Guan Yi's view, it is okay for Soochow to take advantage of the situation to attack: welcome to the northern Great Plains to learn how powerful our cavalry is.If you don't come, I don't have time to talk to you, because the whole Ji Han is too busy at the moment.

Unlike winning Yongliang before, this time Ji Han swallowed the entire eight states of Kanto in one gulp, and the huge amount of work it brought about was extremely astonishing.Among other things, Shi Jian Wushuang, the head of the Liufu, has rushed from Chang'an with nearly [-]% of the staff of the Da Sima Mansion, just to stabilize the order in the Kanto.

On June 26, Luoyang Kaesong surrendered.After Guan Yi comforted Sima Yan with kind words, he gave him five days to slowly tidy up the things in the Luoyang Palace—your fiefdom, the name of the marquis, etc., I cannot exceed my authority.That is my Majesty's business.So, after you pack your things, go to Chang'an.Anyway, Huayin and Tongguan are now unimpeded, and it is very convenient to go back and forth.

However, out of the vile taste of the traveler, Guan Yi still wrote a letter to Liu Chen in private, suggesting that Sima Yan be named "Marquis of Guiming".

"Oh, I gave Sima Yan the title of Sun Hao in advance, and Sun Hao also surrendered later, what should he do?"

This kind of relaxation is just a short moment, because there are too many things to be busy next.

First of all, Guan Yi reported to Liu Chen: "Your Majesty, there are many affairs in the Kanto region, and I may not be able to return to Chang'an in a short time. Therefore, in addition to letting Jian Wushuang lead most of the staff of the Da Sima Mansion to work in Luoyang, you also Please send my family members here too. As a father, my two children are almost two years old, and I haven’t met them once, so I really can’t justify it.”

This kind of behavior, in the eyes of most people in this era, feels that it is too much: the powerful minister leads the army for a long time, and it is fine if he is not in a hurry to return to the court after the battle, but he actually wants the emperor to send his family over.What are you trying to do?
But Liu Chen immediately approved after receiving Guan Yi’s letter—this is actually telling the world that the relationship between Ji Han’s monarchs and ministers is still in mutual absolute trust, and he feels that Da Sima has made great contributions and wants to use this to drive us apart. , you can rest.

Next, of course, is the adjustment of the army.

There were 17 Ji Han's eastern expedition troops when they reached the city of Luoyang, and there were 26 at home.After Luoyang opened the city, there were more than 50 prisoners of the Jin army.Of course, these nearly [-] young and middle-aged men cannot all stay as soldiers—the country cannot afford to support them, and there is also a serious shortage of civilian labor at this time.

Therefore, large-scale demobilization must be carried out.

"Big Sima, this is the disarmament plan made by the army commander Shi Yamen, please have a look."

"Huh? Uncle Fang, it's only been a few days since we entered Luoyang City. How come there is a plan so soon?"

"Hehe, didn't you just sit under the city of Luoyang for the past few months? The official thought that we would take Luoyang sooner or later. Of course, we must plan ahead for this matter."

"Well, Uncle Fang has such an idea, I am very relieved."

Huo Zai's new plan is:
First of all, it is suggested that Sizhou, where Luoyang is located, be merged into Yongzhou—in the Eastern Han Dynasty, these two states were originally one state.After that, the five counties of Longxi that were previously under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou were assigned to Liangzhou—in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the five counties of Longxi also belonged to Liangzhou.

After that, the newly established Dayongzhou was taken as the territory directly under the imperial court. On this territory, the country's key industries were concentrated, and the kings were not divided.

Then, under the reality that the North Jingzhou and North Yangzhou originally owned by the Wei and Jin Dynasties were basically taken away by Soochow taking advantage of the Han-Jin war.Ji Han currently owns Yi, Yong, Liang, You, Ping, Ji, Bing, Qing, Yan, Henan, Xu eleven prefectures and some Jiao prefectures, with a total of 20 troops retained.

The configuration of the 20 troops is: [-] in Jiaozhou, [-] in Yizhou, [-] in Liangzhou, [-] in Youping and the three prefectures, and [-] in the four inland states of Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou.With Wancheng as the core to rebuild the Nanyang Corps, which defends the Jingzhou Corps of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, the planned quota is [-].With Xiapi as the core to rebuild the Xuzhou Corps that defends the Yangzhou Corps of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, the planned quota is also [-].

The remaining 5000 people were all stationed in Yongzhou.It is the mobile force of the whole country.Its status is similar to that of the Chinese Army in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

"Well, it should be enough to reduce the army to 20. It's just the source and composition of these 20?"

"Da Sima, this subordinate thinks so. Our conscription before and after the expedition this time has drawn too hard on the young and strong in the three prefectures of Yi, Yong and Liang. Therefore, on the premise of retaining the original 6 people left behind, Dongdong 17 were conscripted and 10 were demobilized. After that, 26 of the 7 captives in Jin were selected.”

"Well... but, according to my opinion, the original old Chinese army, Tongguan garrison, Jingzhou soldiers, and Yangzhou soldiers are all good. These guys have been soldiers for such a long time. It’s an unstable factor. So let’s do it this way, let your staff polish it up and use it as an official seal.”

"As ordered."

"By the way, how much do you plan to pay the demobilized soldiers?"

"This is really embarrassing for me to be an official. I went to visit Brother Wushuang yesterday. The court is not short of money. It's just that if you give less, it will make the demobilized soldiers feel cold. If you give too much, you're afraid of staying in the barracks." Brothers are not happy..."

"Hahaha, this matter is easy. Just send more. How about this, the 17 people in this Eastern Expedition, except for the last 1 people, and the remaining 16 people, each of them will send [-] first. Uh , Later, those who came to support with General Che Qi were [-] per person. Those who showed bravery on the battlefield were reported by the chief officials of each department in units of songs. The number of submissions should be set at [-]%! They were rated as heroic [-] more for each soldier... But I told you earlier, the selection of heroic soldiers is mainly submitted by the chief officer. But to make an announcement throughout the song, you should also take the initiative to contact Chang Ji's Lian Department, let his people enter the army to listen to the voice of the soldiers..."

"Here, I'm under orders. Uh... Calculated in this way, it's 17 billion. Well, it's okay. Brother Wushuang said that the treasury can at least provide more than 500 billion in severance pay."

"Huh? There are so many? Well, the dead soldiers are [-] each, and the disabled ones range from [-] to [-] depending on the degree of physical damage."

"Here, I've made a note of it."

"The resettlement of the remnants is also very important, you have to pay close attention to this."

"Please don't worry, Da Sima. This point has been established in the lower officials' yamen."

"It's not the same, the family on the Kanto side is much more powerful than the family from Yongliang. Moreover, the family members from the Yongliang side can basically ride horses, so they're not too crazy. The family members from the Kanto side Most of them took Wushi powder and broke their bodies. Let alone riding a horse, they may not be able to walk. However, the more these rotten people, the less they regard soldiers. So, why is this officer treating you like this? It is because of this that the inland states of Jizhou agree with the placement of standing troops."

"Your officer understands. It is better to support the remnants of the army for a period of time than to let them take up the post when our army layout has not yet been completed."

"Shan, that's what I mean. Then let's talk about the resettlement of demobilized personnel. The money really can't be paid too much. Under the premise of [-] yuan per capita, the demobilized soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army will be paid another [-] yuan per person." Settlement allowance. Similarly, newly enlisted troops from the Jin State will receive [-] settling allowances per person. Those prisoners from the Jin State will be sent back. Hey, if there are too many, then each person will be paid [-] as a shock fee.”

"Surprise fee? Hahahaha, here, I've made a note of it. According to this calculation, it won't exceed Wushuang's budget. It's just that Da Sima, the arrangement and stationing of the 20 troops, and the commander of the army, Shi Yamen, can do well. It's just this The main generals sitting in various places..."

"Hahahaha~~ What is there to worry about?"

"Great Sima, why don't you worry! To be honest, if you want to say who has the ability to take charge of any of my generals, you and the general, Ling Xing and Ciqian are the only ones. The rest, including Including the lower official himself, it is actually a bit powerless to sit in one side for a long time. Now, I am a big man who has taken the eight states of Kanto in one fell swoop. While the territory is expanding rapidly, we need more handsome talents than ever before. And the general has already died... So , because of this matter, the lower official's forehead hurts."

"Uncle Fang, no one is born handsome. Before I faced Deng Ai, I only fought a few barbarian strongholds. Therefore, now it seems that generals who have no ability in any aspect are given a chance. They often It can also grow up. Besides, there are not many handsome talents in Luoyang City?"

"Ah? Da Sima, are you going to use the general of the Jin Kingdom?"

"Of course, these are the essences cultivated in the Wei and Jin Dynasties for decades. How can they be left unused? Well, the time is almost up. Come, follow me to the outer hall to meet them!"
