The two rooms in the second hall were completely opened, and a huge sand table six feet long and one foot six wide was placed in the middle. It spanned the entire western Liaoning terrain from Guanqiang in the west, to Yanjun in the east, to Raoleshui in the north, and to the sea in the south.
It is shown. Among them, the land in Rao Leshui north of Liucheng is still blank, and in the south south of Wugu River there are only a few simple key points, and the blank areas need to be filled in.
Making a sand table sounds simple, but it is extremely difficult. Mountains are made of soil, pastures are covered with crushed grass slurry, cultivated land is treated with silt, and rivers are represented by silk threads. These things are really not difficult to make, but
However, a lot of manpower and energy were spent on the early inspection and drawing. A simple sand table mobilized all officials from the Yuhousi Pingren Department and the relevant departments of the Changshi Mansion, and referred to many topographic maps preserved by Pingzhou and the Khitan people.
, and also solicited a large number of opinions from local people and merchants. That's okay. As far as Liucheng's current manpower is concerned, the most unsolvable problem is the contrast between the mountains and the flat land.
Although the calculation course is one of the ways for the imperial court to recruit scholars, in this war-torn era, there are very few talents who are truly proficient in mathematical measurement. Most of them are scattered among the people, and not many are actually used by the government, let alone this.
Liucheng was recaptured from the Khitans.
Fortunately, Wu Zhongzuo's family had a rich collection of books, so the relevant officials from the Pingren Office and the Changshi Mansion gathered together to study "Nine Chapters", "Zhou Bi Suan Jing" and other works, especially the Shang-Gao Law as the main research direction. Li Chengzhong
The "thumb ranging method" of modern artillery was also proposed in due course, and this problem was initially solved by Liucheng.
Since the outline of the sand table began to take shape, Li Chengzhong has become more and more accustomed to holding discussions here. At this moment, he, Feng Dao, Zhou Qidao, Jiang Miao and others were gathered around the sand table, listening to the special instructions coming from Xiaolinghe's former enemy headquarters.
Zhang Xingzhong, who came back, explained the results of this stage.
Zhang Xingzhong held a thin wooden stick in his hand and pointed at the villages and terrain on the sand table. He explained the battle one by one. When he was done, he concluded: "The Battle of Hulutan is over. Eight people from our Yingzhou Army were killed in the battle."
, forty-seven people were injured, including 36 minor injuries. They are expected to have recovered by now. Among the eleven seriously injured, six will withdraw from the army and return home, and five will not leave the army. Regarding the treatment of those who died in the war, minor
The Department of Education and Education, Xiao Zheyuan, is in charge of matters such as the reintegration of the injured into the army, the commendation and field transfer of the seriously injured, and the transfer to non-combatants."
Li Chengzhong interjected: "Especially those who died in the war and those who were seriously injured who retired from the army must not be neglected. How to deal with them properly has a bearing on the morale of the Yingzhou Army. What's going on with those five who don't want to leave the army?
"
Zhang Xingzhong said: "Two of them have injured one eye, and three have only one arm. Although these people are seriously injured, it will not affect their livelihood after recovery. It is just that it is not suitable to go into battle again."
Li Chengzhong said: "Although they can't go into battle, they can be arranged to join the training department. These people have experience in fighting in battle. It shouldn't be difficult to train new recruits. Since they are willing to stay in the army, we can't be cold-hearted. We can still
Let’s use the remaining heat.”
Jiang Miao, the civil servant of the Education Department, was in charge of merit examination and placement, and Zhou Qidao, the military commander of the Training Department, was in charge of training. Both of them were related to this, and they both agreed at the same time.
After Li Chengzhong finished explaining, Zhang Xingzhong continued to point at the sand table with a small wooden stick: "Yangshan Village in the west section of Xiaoling River has entered the hands of our army. The location of that place is relatively dangerous. Now the former enemy headquarters has been set up here. It is controlled by Zhangjiabao.
The Zhang family's villages have been brought under the rule of our army, but the Zhang family proposed that the uncultivated land near their villages is the reserved land of Zhang family households. Although it is not cultivated, it has been taken care of and fertilized. We hope that we will relocate the refugees.
It will be considered at that time.”
Li Chengzhong frowned: "What is the specific situation? Is the situation true?"
Zhang Xingzhong said: "I haven't checked it carefully yet."
Li Chengzhong nodded and said: "That's fine, Lao Zhang, just concentrate on military affairs and leave these issues to Ke Dao." He turned to ask Feng Dao: "Brother Ke Dao, what are your plans?"
Feng Dao said without hesitation: "The government follows the law, and once the policy is announced, how can it be easily changed? There is only so much cultivated land in western Liaoning, how can we easily grant tens of thousands of acres of land in the middle section of Xiaoling River to others? Furthermore, if we agree,
If we kill them, what should we do with the seventeen villages upstream? What about Xinsi Fort downstream? Now Xinsi Fort is discussing its return, so we must not give them any other expectations, so as not to create more complications."
Li Chengzhong smiled and said: "But Brother Dao is very iron-fisted."
Feng Dao smiled: "The culprit in Yangshan Village has been revealed, and now he is trying to knock down the mountain and shock the tiger. In the face of the court's justice, anyone with extravagant thoughts is a separatist of the Tang Dynasty. As for the separatists, didn't the general say, 'Use an iron fist to defeat them'"
Use the power of thunder'!"
Li Chengzhong scratched his head: "Okay, I said, I admit it. The next step is to govern the people in the Xiaoling River Basin and Wugu River Basin. Do you think I have already made up my mind?"
Feng Dao nodded: "Immigration from Dingkou, farmers' tax is three-one, and the government is in charge. Pingzhou Governor Zhang released more than two thousand people who were willing to come back. They are now in Yuguan. A certain person has sent people to accept them and prepare to move to Song
Under the Daqing Mountain outside the ridge. But this is already the last batch. Governor Zhang said that no one is willing to come back. The Gao family's fleet has been south for more than half a month, and the immigration from Jianghuai is still undecided. General
Maybe we can urge you one or two more. Regarding the issue of agricultural tax, the Agriculture Department is also deploying manpower and preparing to send it to the Xiaoling River Basin. As for the official administration, a certain Liu Shenjiao will be sent there to make unified arrangements for the implementation of the three strategies."
As he spoke, Feng Dao took the small wooden stick from Zhang Xingzhong's hand and clicked it on the south corner of the Xiaoling River: "This is Sanhetun, which is the area closest to the Daling River and Wugu River on the Xiaoling River.
It is less than thirty miles north from the mouth of the Xiaoling River. It is planned to set up a government office here to take charge of all matters in the two river basins."
Li Chengzhong looked carefully at the place pointed by Feng Dao, thought about the approximate location of this place in later generations, and after careful consideration said: "Okay, we can set up a government office here." He picked up a thin stick beside him,
A circle was drawn in the Xiaoling River and Wugu River basins: "From now on, a county will be established with Sanhetun as the center, administering the two river basins. Well... it will be called Jin County. Jin County is juxtaposed with Liucheng and Yan County, and is directly under Changshi
Under the jurisdiction of the government. Brother Ke Dao also serves as the magistrate of Liucheng, Liu Shen is appointed as the magistrate of Jin County, and the magistrate of Yan County..."
When Feng Dao saw that Li Chengzhong could not continue talking for a long time when talking about the candidate for "Yan Commandery", he said: "General, I am a man who is blind and kind. He is well-read in poetry and books, treats others with courtesy, and has great prestige among the Khitan people.
It can be the order of Yan County."
Li Chengzhong was stunned for a moment, looking at Feng Dao's slightly strange look, and finally realized, he laughed and said: "That's it, I am completely blind and become the Yanjun Commandery, um, Jia Rongge is the Yan Commandery."
After Rong Ge was surrendered, he never had a formal official status. He only commanded the 400 Khitan soldiers stationed in Yan County as the senior leader of the product department. These 400 Khitan soldiers were the last force of the Khitan product department, and Li Chengzhong never made time to deal with them.
, at this moment, the official posthumous title given to Rong Ge as Yan County Lieutenant, although he was granted an official position on the surface, in reality the identity and status of these four hundred Khitan soldiers were clarified. The identities of these Khitan soldiers will thus be transferred to Yan
The local garrison of the county government and its size and organization will continue to be clarified in the next step of straightening out the official system.
In Li Chengzhong's plan, the local garrison in a county was a reserve force. As a supplement to the Yingzhou Army, the reserve garrison in each county was organized into a reserve battalion. The capital-level organization was abolished. There were five teams totaling 250 people, led by the county captain.
Under the leadership. The mission of the local garrison is to patrol the local area, control theft and arrest thieves, and have the dual functions of armed police and police. In terms of personnel, the Yingzhou Army Headquarters is responsible, and in terms of logistics, it is provided by the counties. Specifically, the garrison
The recruitment and training of military personnel are under the responsibility of the Training Department. The appointment and deployment of officers at all levels are under the final say of the Education Department. Military transfers of more than 50 people are under the control of the Yuhou Division. Logistics supply is under the final say of each county magistrate. County magistrates have the final say.
Wei is responsible for the daily management and training of the garrison, and mobilizes no more than fifty troops under the supervision of the county magistrate.
This means that Rong Ge's 400 Khitan soldiers will be reduced to 250, and his authority to lead the army will be greatly reduced.
With the completion of the training of the second batch of new troops, the main front-line troops of the Yingzhou Army have completed their training. The expanded main force of the Yingzhou Army is 2,700 people, specifically: three infantry battalions and one cavalry battalion, each with five
Each camp is organized into two teams, with 520 officers and men in each battalion; the central camp includes four guard teams, four logistics teams, two scout teams, and two guard teams, with a total of 620 people.
After officially completing the formation of the main front-line force, Li Chengzhong immediately took out the reserve army plan and asked several confidants to discuss it. In fact, there was nothing to discuss. Li Chengzhong was the founder of the Yingzhou Army, and he naturally had the most say.
Importantly, as long as the ideas he puts forward are not too ridiculous, no one will object too much. The so-called discussion is just him announcing it, others recording it, and putting forward suggestions for improvement as appropriate.
"The Training Department immediately started to recruit reserve soldiers. The recruitment started in Jin County. The number of soldiers was 350. The 400 people from the Yan County garrison were transferred to the Liucheng Recruit Training Camp to make up for 750. The number is limited to 10.
It will be completed within five days, and the training will officially begin after fifteen days. From now on, the training period for new recruits will be three months, and the Training Department must seize the time to come up with a new training outline. After the reserve training is completed, Liucheng Preparatory Camp, Yanjun Preparatory Camp and Jinxian Preparatory Camp will be established.
The reserve battalions are composed of five teams each with 250 men."
Zhou Qidao thought for a while and said: "General, is it too fast? Now the main force is in the Xiaoling River Basin, and the next step is to face the Wugu River battle. Now Liucheng only has 500 old troops and 1,000 new troops...
"He has heard the thoughts of Li Chengzhong and Feng Dao, which is to solve the problem of Yan County.
Li Chengzhong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, we are doing everything upright, and everything we do is focused on the regular construction of the Yingzhou Army. It would be best if Elder Rong Ge understands the general trend. If he doesn't understand, let him try. Of course.
, we are not targeting him. Tell Elder Rong that the official position of Yanjun Lieutenant is only a choice for him. If he is unwilling to continue to stay there, he can be made Liucheng Lieutenant. If he thinks the official position is low, he can also
Apply to join the third division of the headquarters. We are very sincere, but I don’t know if he is sincere.” To be continued. (..), your support is my biggest motivation.)
