Chapter 488 The reset of the army

What the emperor and ministers of the Eastern Wu were thinking, and of course Sima Guan, who was thousands of miles away, did not know. However, in Guan Yi's view, it was possible for the Eastern Wu to take advantage of the situation to invade: welcome to come to the northern plains to learn the power of our cavalry. If I don't come, I don't have time to pay attention to you, because Ji Han is too busy at this moment.

Unlike before taking Yongliang, Ji Han swallowed the entire Eight Prefectures of Kanto in one bite, which caused the huge workload was extremely amazing. Not to mention anything else, Jian Wushuang, the head of the Liufu Palace, had already brought nearly 70% of the people from the Grand Sima Mansion to come from Chang'an urgently to speed up the stability of the order in Kanto.

On June 26, Luoyang Kaicheng surrendered. Guan Yi comforted Sima Yan with kind words and comforted him, and gave him five days to slowly clean up the things in the Luoyang Palace - your fiefdom, the name of the marquis, etc., so I can't overstep the authority. That's the matter of my Majesty. So, after you pack your things, you should go to Chang'an. Anyway, now Huayin and Tongguan are unobstructed, and it's very convenient to go back and forth.

However, out of the evil taste of time travelers, Guan Yi wrote a letter to Liu Chen in private, suggesting that Sima Yan be named "Rebirth Marquis".

"Oh, I gave Sun Hao's title to Sima Yan in advance. In the future, Sun Hao's guy also surrendered. What should he do?"

Such ease is just a short moment, because there are so many things to be busy with next.

First, Guan Yi reported to Liu Chen: "Your Majesty, there are many affairs in Guandong, and I may not be able to return to Chang'an in a short period of time. Therefore, in addition to asking Jian Wushuang to lead most of the staff from the Grand Sima Mansion to work in Luoyang, please send my family here too. As a father, I have two children almost two years old and have never met once, which is really unreasonable."

This kind of action is too much in the eyes of most people in this era: powerful ministers have been leading troops for a long time, and they just don’t rush to return to the court after the war is over, but they even have to ask the emperor to send their families over. What do you want to do?

However, Liu Chen immediately approved it after receiving Guan Yi's letter - this is actually telling the world that Ji Han's relationship with the monarch and ministers is still in absolute mutual trust. He felt that the Grand Sima had made great contributions and wanted to use this to distract our monarch and ministers, so he could stop.

Next, of course, the army's adjustment.

When Ji Han's Eastern Expedition troops reached Luoyang City, there were 170,000, and there were 60,000 at home. After Luoyang opened the city, there were more than 260,000 prisoners of the Jin army. Of course, these young and middle-aged men, who were close to 500,000, could not all stay and serve as soldiers. The country could not afford to support them, and the private labor force was also severely lacking at this time.

Therefore, large-scale demobilization must be carried out.

"Grand Sima, this is a disarmament plan made by the Army Chief Shi Yamen. Please check it out."

"Huh? Uncle Fang, it's only been a few days since we entered Luoyang City. Why did we have a plan so soon?"

"Haha, weren't you trapped in Luoyang City in the past few months? The officials thought that we would take Luoyang sooner or later, so of course we must prepare for the future."

"Well, I feel very relieved when Bo Fang has such an idea."

Huo Zai’s new plan is:

First of all, it is recommended to merge the Sizhou where Luoyang is located into Yongzhou - the Eastern Han Dynasty, where these two states were originally one state. Later, the five counties of Longxi, which were previously under Yongzhou, were assigned to Liangzhou - the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the five counties of Longxi also belonged to Liangzhou.

Later, the newly established Da Yongzhou was used as the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court. On this land, the country's key industries were concentrated and the kings were not allowed to be enfeoffed.

Then, in the Northern Jingzhou, which was originally owned by the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Northern Yangzhou was basically taken away by the Eastern Wu in the reality of this Han-Jin war. Ji Han currently owned Yi, Yong, Liang, You, Ping, Ji, Qing, Yan, Yu, Xu, and some Jiaozhou, a total of 200,000 troops were retained.

The configuration of these 200,000 troops is: Jiaozhou 15,000, Yizhou 15, Liangzhou 10,000, Youping combined the three states with a total of 15,000, Jizhou Qingzhou Yanzhou Yuzhou, a total of 10,000. The Nanyang Corps, which rebuilt the defense of the Eastern Wu Jingzhou Corps with Wancheng as the core, is planned to have a fixed quota of 20,000. The Xuzhou Corps with Pi as the core, is planned to be rebuilt the defense of the Eastern Wu Yangzhou Corps with Pi as the core, is also planned to be 20,000.

The remaining 95,000 people were all stationed in Yongzhou. They were the mobile forces of the entire country. Their status was similar to the central army in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

"Well, reducing the army to 200,000 should be enough. Just the source and composition of these 200,000?"

"Sima, what does his subordinates think. Our recruitment before and after this expedition was too fierce to Ding Zhuang from the three prefectures of Yiyong and Liang. Therefore, on the premise of retaining the original 60,000 left behind, the 170,000 people from the Eastern Expedition were demobilized by 100,000 people. Later, among the 260,000 prisoners of Jin State, 70,000 were selected."

"Well...but, according to my opinion, the original old Central Army of Jin, Tongguan Guards, Jingzhou Army, and Yangzhou Army were all good. These guys have been soldiers for such a long time and retreated back to the countryside, which is also an unstable factor. So do this, let your subordinates polish it and then use it to use it for the seal."

"Affect the order."

"By the way, how much are you going to pay for demobilized soldiers?"

"This is really a difficult situation for the officials. Yesterday, the officials visited Brother Wushuang. The court now has no shortage of money. But if you give less, it will make the demobilized soldiers feel heartbroken. If you give more, you will be afraid that the brothers who stay in the military camp will be unhappy..."

"Hahaha, this matter is easy. Just make more money. Let's do it. In this case, except for the 170,000 people who joined the last 10,000 people, the remaining 160,000 people will be sent first. Uh, the ones who came to support the chariots and cavalry will be sent three thousand each. Those who performed bravely on the battlefield will be reported by the heads of each department based on the song. The number of places submitted will be set at 10%. The soldiers who were rated as brave will be sent another five thousand... But I told you that in front, the selection of heroic soldiers will be mainly submitted by the heads of the chief officer. But to make public announcements in the whole song, you must also take the initiative to contact Chang Ji's ICAC and let his people enter the army and listen to the voices of the soldiers..."

"Here, the official will receive the order. Uh... If you count it, it will be 1.715 million. Well, it's okay. Brother Wushuang said that the treasury can provide at least 5 billion severance payments."

"Well? There are so many? Well, the soldiers who died in the battle are 20,000 yuan each, and those who are disabled are ranging from 15,000 to 18,000 yuan depending on the degree of physical damage."

"Here, the official has written it down."

"The resettlement of the remnants is also very important, you must hurry up."

"Please rest assured by the Grand Sima, there are some examples to follow in the lower yamen."

"It's different. The aristocratic families in Guandong are much larger than those in Yongliang. Moreover, they basically ride horses with the aristocratic families in Yongliang, which is not too bad. Most of the aristocratic families in Guandong take Wushi Powder to make their bodies mess up. Not to mention riding horses, the road may not be able to move. However, the more bad people are, the less soldiers are taken seriously. Therefore, why do I agree with you for the placement of standing troops in these mainland states in Jizhou? It's because of this."

"The officials understand. I would rather support the remaining troops for a while than let them be alone when our army's layout has not yet been completed."

"Shan, this is what I mean. Let's talk about the resettlement of demobilized personnel. This money cannot be paid too much. On the premise that the per capita is 10,000 yuan, each of the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army will be paid another 3,000 yuan. Similarly, if the newly-subscribed soldiers of the Jin State are newly recruited, each of them will be paid three thousand yuan. If the prisoners of Jin State are released, all of them will be paid, so each of them will be paid one thousand yuan."

"Super shock? Hahahaha, you've recorded it. In this way, it won't exceed the unparalleled budget. It's just the Grand Marshal, the arrangement, dispatch of these 200,000 troops, and the army chief and historian yamen can do it well. It's just the chief general who is in charge of all places..."

"Hahahaha~~What's there to worry about?"

"Secretarius, why don't you worry? To be honest, if you and the general are below, if anyone has the ability to do the part, Ling Xing and Ciqian are forced to count. The rest, including Xiaguan himself, have to be in charge for a long time, are actually a little helpless. Now, my great man has taken over the Eight Prefectures of Kanto in one fell swoop, and his territory has expanded rapidly, and he needs unprecedented numbers of coaches. The general has been killed... So, for this matter, Xiaguan's forehead hurts."

"Brother Fang, no handsome man is born. Before facing Deng Ai, I only fought a few barbarian villages. So, now it seems that generals without the ability to dominate the abilities of the ranks, and they can often grow up if they give them a chance. Besides, are there few handsome men in Luoyang City?"

"Ah? Grand Sima, are you going to reuse the surrendered generals of Jin?"
