Chapter 336 Du Wuku Deploying Troops (2)
"Dongdongdongdong~~~Hey! Dadongdongdongdong~~~Wow!"
At three o'clock in the lunar hour, ten thousand central troops had already emerged on the northern school ground, which was within a radius of less than a thousand hectares. In the school ground, they formed neat formations according to the horses, stairs, bows and other military branches.
"My me, Du Yu, pay homage to Your Majesty, Your Highness, Prince!"
"Du Qing is exempted from courtesy."
Du Yu finished worshiping the emperor and the prince. The prince over there also quickly bowed: "Students pay homage to the teacher."
"Please get up, your Highness."
After the two sides had finished their greetings, Sima Yan looked down at the platform from a high point and looked down at the clear queue below for a while. More than 10,000 soldiers who were still motionless nodded with satisfaction: "In just over two months, these newly-designed soldiers have already looked a little bit. Thank you for your hard work."
"I am ashamed of you. If Your Majesty had not been able to ally with you, the Eastern Wu would form an alliance with our country. Thus, a large number of veterans of Jing and Yang would be able to enter Luoyang. These new recruits would still be worth mentioning in a short period of time."
"Where is Du Qing's training is a meritorious."
Speaking of which, after experiencing the disastrous defeat in Guanzhong, Du Yu has indeed made an indelible contribution to the successful reconstruction and restoration of the system in recent months.
In the current state of Jin, the scale of its field corps has been greatly reduced. According to the careful calculations of Pei Xiu, Jia Chong, Du Yu and others, combined with the existing financial and manpower of the country, the Standing Army of Jin was controlled at about 200,000.
During these 200,000 miles, the Jingzhou Army and Yangzhou Army were reduced to 30,000. The Youji Army was 10,000, the Bingzhou Army was 20,000, and Tongguan Army was 10,000. The Luoyang Central Army was restored to 100,000.
Something special here is that according to Du Yu and Yang Hu's suggestion, the State of Jin organized some farmers to carry out military farming in pure mainland prefectures such as Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou and Yuzhou: This military farming is not as close to the surplus grain collection system as Cao Cao used to do. The government took relatively fewer away from the farmers than other self-cultivated farmers, and during the military farming, the government also provided various protections and dredging water conservancy projects. But since we enjoyed so many benefits, we had to pay the price: military training is required during the slack season, and military soldiers from all over the country will be supplemented during the war. In fact, it is a reserve service.
This policy has been approved by the Shangshutai and officials from relevant prefectures and counties are instructed to start implementing it. However, it is estimated that it will take three to five years to truly achieve results. According to Du Yu's plan, this part of the reserve service will be at least 50,000 in the short term to be considered qualified. If it takes a little longer, such as more than ten years, it will be at least 100,000.
In addition, there are so many princes, princes, and county kings in Jin State, and they have some army more or less. The number of these troops should be less than 50,000. But the quality is uneven: the vassal kings who are ambitious or worried about the country and the people train every soldier in their kingdom army as an officer. The vassal kings who are busy waiting to die raise their soldiers into beggars...
Next are the local soldiers in various prefectures and counties, ranging from about three to five hundred. The role of these soldiers is more similar to the police in later generations rather than the army. Therefore, although the combat effectiveness is stronger than that of ordinary people, it is irresistible to face the elite field army of Jihan last year.
Overall, it has a strong foundation. At this time, the advantage of Jin State was only reduced, but it still had an advantage against Han and Wu State alone.
On the stage, he watched the neat military appearance of the soldiers below with a proud look. After briefly yelling the beautiful picture of Guan Yi relying on this team of tiger and wolf troops to beat Guan Yi. Sima Yan turned his attention to the temporary viewing platform below the stage - it was the place where Sima Yan's scheduled court ministers and their children to watch the soldiers' exercises.
The viewing platform was built very huge: Luoyang, there were kings, princes, princes, and ministers all over the land. Not to mention the number of officials with more than two thousand stones, but there were definitely quite a few. If they added their children, they would be afraid that there would be one or two thousand people?
However, at this time, there were about dozens of people strewn on the huge viewing platform. This situation made Sima Yan angry in an instant.
"Left and right! What's going on? Are you conveying my oral orders all over the city?"
"Your Majesty, how dare you not act according to Your Majesty's order? Your Majesty issued an order at 3 o'clock. Before Chen hour, all the elite cavalry set out from the palace gate and conveyed your majesty's oral orders back and forth no less than five times along the way. Your Majesty, look far away? After hearing the news, ordinary people in Luoyang City came to see the fun and occupied the edge of the school grounds. This shows that you have done your best with your heart."
"Then, what's going on there? Why are there so few people coming?"
"I don't know this."
Oh my Majesty, those ministers may still be lying high at home now. We dare not smash the door and urge them to come over quickly, and we are helpless.
"Go! Go to the viewing platform immediately to register. See which families have not come! I will be punished severely!"
"Abide by the order!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I think it was because the incident happened suddenly, and it took a lot of time to prepare for the Shangguan at all levels." The person who was most frightened at this time was Du Yu: My Majesty, your emperor's mind has really risen too fast, right? Do you do this, forcing me to be an orphan? Although as the commander of the Central Army, I should be an orphan. But I am also the prince's teacher! I will also assist the prince in ascending the throne in the future. If I don't have any followers and friends, how can I have enough strength to do these things?
"Hmph! Have these traitors been so good, the Wen Tianwu play? Luoyang is now a border! If one day the army of the Shu thieves drove to the city and I beat drums and asked the ministers of various families to come to protect the emperor, I am afraid that Guan Zifeng, the Shu thief, would have come to me first!"
"I dare not hear what Your Majesty said."
"I have already registered at the viewing platform just now. There are thirteen princes and ministers who have arrived at the school grounds."
"Thousands of thirteen families are there, say!"
"According to the order, report to Your Majesty. The who have arrived are King Qi and his crown prince, King Anping and his crown prince, General (Chen Qian) and his eldest son, nephew, General Cheqi (Jia Chong), Marquis Leling and his sons..."
"Look! Look! I won't talk about other people. Look at the oldest man in our Grand Jin royal family, my uncle Anping, is ninety years old this year! The prince just died not long ago. But today he arrived quickly as soon as he beat the drum! Not to mention the uncle, even Jia Cheqi, who has never been good at fighting formations, can arrive in time! In this way, what reasons can those who are late to say?"
Speaking of which, Jia Chong and Jia riding were also a blessing in disguise.
His former wife was Li, who was gentle and virtuous, and noble in character. The couple had a very good relationship and gave birth to two daughters and two sons together. (The eldest daughter married King Sima You of Qi)
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Li's father, Li Feng, an important minister of Cao Wei, conspired with Zhang Ji, Xiahou Xuan and others to prepare to kill Sima Shi. The matter was leaked, Li Feng was killed, and Li was exiled to Lelang. Then Jia Chong didn't know what nerves were on his head, so he actually rekindled a woman named Guo Huai.
Ms. Guo’s father is named Guo Pei and uncle Guo Huai. Because both father and uncle are very powerful, Ms. Guo is extremely powerful. Shortly after entering the Jia family, she killed Jia Chong’s nanny under the name of seducing the head of the family. Then Jia Chong’s two sons died inexplicably soon...
Therefore, although Mr. Jia Chong is in his fifties now, he has no son. Without a son, it is naturally impossible to be like Pei Xiu. Although I have been dressed up for a long time, I can only sit at home and wait for my son to come home to change clothes. Therefore, Jia Cheqi was not late this time.
(Article, Mr. Jia and Ms. Guo still have a love crystallization. The eldest daughter is Ms. Jia Nanfeng, a famous female devil in chaos. Their second daughter is Jia Wu, and Jia Wu’s husband’s surname is Han. Their son was later adopted by Jia Chong, who had no descendants, and became the heir of the Duke of Lu County. This is Jia Mi, the leader of the twenty-four friends of Jingu in later generations.)
Although Jia Chong sat on the viewing platform early at this time, he was extremely anxious: It’s nothing more, Jia Cheqi doesn’t understand military affairs. Today is a military parade, and there must be a report after the military parade. Pei Xiu, his ally who knows the military, has not come yet. If the emperor asks, who will block the arrows for him?
