The carriage slowly drove into the gate of Dingzhou City. He opened the curtains and looked at the towering city gate. Haotian was filled with emotion. Four years ago, it was here that he led a thousand cavalrymen to launch a night battle with the help of He Fu.
He attacked and killed Rouran guard Habrida, and he embarked on a completely different path. Four years passed quickly, and now there are only fifty or sixty of the thousand brothers left. And his own territory has also changed from the original
The Qingyun of Dingzhou expanded to the present three provinces and fifteen states, with an army of 700,000 and a population of more than 17 million.
"Do you miss your former comrades again?" Tianyi asked softly.
Haotian nodded. His biggest characteristic is that he remembers the past. For those brothers who accompanied him on the battlefield in the past, he will never forget their generous and tragic figures.
Half of the women in the women's battalion were placed in Dingzhou, and the rest were scattered in the other five states of Hetao. Although Yanzhou is the capital of Hetao, because Haotian raised troops in Dingzhou, it can be regarded as the base camp of Hetao.
Under the influence of Haotian, their thoughts are not so rigid. At least these women will not have so many rumors living here.
The army is stationed in the garrison camp outside Dingzhou City. Since Dingzhou is south of Jianmenguan on Yizhou Road and Yinfeng Castle on Qinchuan Road, the defense of Dingzhou has always been the top priority in Hetao. The garrison here is large
The camp was built according to the size of an army of 200,000. Although there were a few more soldiers and horses coming, it could still barely accommodate them.
As for the ordinary people, after a night's rest in Dingzhou, they will go to live in the Anxi Road and Hexi Road areas under the arrangement of the Hetao officials. The population of Hetao No. 3 and Hetao has exceeded the standard, but Hexi Road and Anxi Road
However, there is a serious shortage of labor force. Chu Xiangcheng was worried that the people in Hetao were unwilling to migrate to those places. These people came just in time, which could at least alleviate the local labor situation.
None of the military and political personnel left, and all followed Haotian to the Dingzhou City Guards House. It can be seen that He Fu is indeed very good at governing the local area. In four years, Dingzhou has already recovered.
It was a prosperous scene in the past. But the only thing that made Haotian a little dissatisfied was that the meeting hall of the Dingzhou City Guards was a little too small. After all the senior officials of the military and political parties in Hetao squeezed in, there was not even room for an extra stool.
None can be found.
Looking at Haotian's depressed eyes, He Fu said with an aggrieved look: "Master, you can't blame us. How can there usually be so many people in meetings?"
Haotian was silent. Hetao's military alone had seventy-two regular captains. Although many captains had not arrived, the number of captains in ten thousand households was still as high as over fifty. In addition to the bloody killing of Dugu,
As well as their marching commander Shi, there were more than 70 people from the military alone. Although there were relatively few people from the government system, there were more than 40 people. More than 100 people appeared in the meeting hall at the same time.
, naturally a little crowded.
"Okay, let's find a place to sit down first. Danqiu, why are you and Yin Zhongzhi standing here? Believe it or not, I asked you to go see the gate." Haotian looked at the messy meeting hall and said with a headache.
There was another panic below, and after a while, it finally calmed down. It was just that the territory was small, and the military and political parties were not clearly differentiated. Anyway, as long as they could sit down, it would be fine.
"I don't talk much, especially I don't like nonsense and superficial talk, so today I will get straight to the point and say whatever I want." Haotian said in a deep voice, but that boy Hao Jin was dancing vigorously in his arms, which was somewhat disruptive.
The majesty of King Jingbei.
"There are three things going on today. First, I am very grateful to you all for your help. We, Hetao, have achieved today's glory. I think back then, our Hetao was just six states along the way. The people were exhausted and the soldiers were outnumbered. Even cats and dogs dared not to take us seriously.
.And now, we have 700,000 troops, and together with the Bloody Plateau, our total strength reaches one million. No matter who it is, they need to look up when they look at us. These are all the contributions of everyone."
"Second, I have signed an agreement with His Majesty. Our strategic direction in the next five years is to regain the Sixteen Youyun Provinces and the Great Wall Defense Line, and weaken or even annihilate the six tribes outside the Great Wall as much as possible. If possible, we will
Within the next five years, we will try our best to rebuild the Anxi Protectorate and the Beiting Protectorate. This road has a long way to go, and I hope you can cooperate closely."
"Third, while everyone is here today, we can discuss the upcoming military reform and put forward our own suggestions. Our previous military organizational situation in Hetao is no longer suitable for the needs of command, so we are prepared to change the original military reform
The military system will be adjusted. I will describe my specific thoughts first. If there is anything unexpected, I hope you can add it."
Although sitting below are almost all the senior military and political officials in Hetao, even in the government affairs system, more than half of the personnel have transferred from the military, so everyone is particularly concerned about military adjustments.
"Here, I would like to make it clear that apart from the 150,000 remaining soldiers on the Bloody Plateau, the rest of the troops, including the Dragon Cavalry Corps, will break up the previous structure and reorganize it into a new military structure. This matter
"I have already discussed this with Princess Qingcheng. Elder Lingxian, you have been stationed on the Bloody Plateau for a long time and are considered the plenipotentiary representative of the Bloody Plateau. Do you have any opinions?" Haotian asked the lowered Lingxian.
Lingxian was shocked. Xue Qingcheng had not told her about this matter. But looking at the look from Xue Qingcheng, she immediately understood that this should have happened in the past two days, and Xue Qingcheng had not had time to tell herself. And
Haotian has obviously made up his mind and does not want another powerful army to exist on his territory. Of course, Hetao also gave the Bloody Plateau enough face and left them at least 150,000 soldiers.
Local garrison.
Hetao is depriving the Bloody Plateau of its military power, Lingxian is convinced. As the chief elder of the Bloody Plateau, Lingxian is naturally not an idiot. The 50,000 cavalrymen led by the Dragon Cavalry and Xue Qingcheng are the nearly 300,000-strong army of the Bloody Plateau.
The most elite among them. Although the remaining 150,000 soldiers can ensure the safety of the Bloody Plateau without them, Lingxian is always a little worried without a strong mobile force.
If you don't agree, what will happen to the Hetao? Lingxian's expression remained unchanged, thinking about this problem in her heart. First of all, the friendly relationship between the Hetao and the Bloody Plateau will definitely break down. Secondly, without the powerful backing of the Hetao, Sashan and Luo
These will definitely become more unscrupulous. Once again, with only 1.6 million people on Qingning Road, the Bloody Plateau neither has the strength to conquer the world nor the ability to take back the Luoche Dynasty in the future. From now on, it can only hide on Qingning Road.
Waiting for the unification of the Central Plains to surrender to the victor.
Inadvertently, Lingxian suddenly saw the humble yet extremely weird smiling faces of Luo Xiang and Chu Xiangcheng. Lingxian suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, how could she forget the existence of these two people? Haotian is a careless person and misses old friendships the most. Bloody Plateau
He worked hard for the Loop, and with his personality, he would never take advantage of the opportunity to reduce his power. Then, this matter was the work of these two mature old people. If he really refused, then with the two of them
With his talent, who knows what he will do.
Yao Qiang's 50,000 soldiers are now stationed in the northern area of the Bloody Plateau. They are already completely familiar with the climate of the Bloody Plateau, and the terrain on the edge of the Bloody Plateau is rugged, easy to defend and difficult to attack. With the fighting will and combat effectiveness of the soldiers in Hetao, even the Bloody clan
Even if they attack with all their strength, it will be difficult to drive them off the Bloody Plateau. However, the opponent can continuously mobilize reinforcements from the rear.
Besides, Haotian attaches great importance to love and justice. One of the biggest characteristics of this kind of person is that he cannot tolerate any betrayal. If Bloody Plateau breaks up with Hetao at this time, even if Xue Qingcheng is his beloved wife, Haotian will not be able to do anything after freeing up his hands.
It is possible to send troops to conquer, but it is still possible to completely sever ties with the Scarlet Clan.
Looking at the eyes of Luo Xiang and Chu Xiangcheng that shone with strange light, Lingxian suddenly understood what they meant. Haotian was a generous man and would not be suspicious of the bloody plateau holding heavy troops, but the two of them were different. They were absolutely
They will not tolerate someone in their territory who can threaten Haotian's safety. If Lingxian does not agree, then the two of them will definitely make other preparations to eliminate all dangers invisible. Thinking of Luo Xiang's relationship with Haotian
Lingxian felt a cold sweat on his back when he came forward with the suggestion to completely annihilate the Three Northeastern Kingdoms. Perhaps, in their thoughts, they hoped that they would not agree, so that Hetao would use this as an excuse to kill the leaders of the Bloody Plateau.
Eradicate all the layers together, and then use Xue Qingcheng as a guise to gather the Scarlet Clan under the command of Hetao. Haotian would not do this, but it is hard to say for these two people.
"We made an agreement with the prince a long time ago. The Blood Plateau is a part of China. It is also our responsibility to join the army to defend our country. It is their honor for the blood soldiers to fight bravely under the banner of the prince's iron-blooded mountains and rivers."
Lingxian said slowly: "Your Majesty, we also have a small request."
"Are the elders being reasonable?" Haotian opened his mouth and asked.
The fairy nodded.
Haotian smiled faintly: "Since I am planning to rebuild the Anxi Protectorate and the Beiting Protectorate, how can I forget the Luoche Dynasty? Don't worry, elder. Recovering our homeland is also our duty as a soldier of the Celestial Dynasty."
Lingxian breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile on his face: "In that case, let's first thank the prince for his great kindness."
Haotian said with a smile: "The elder is wrong. Well, although the number of troops left behind on the Bloody Plateau is 150,000 households, the actual situation is only a little over 130,000. Let's do this. You will supplement the number of troops to
150,000. This part is your left-behind force. Our military will not issue military pay. However, the rest of the soldiers who will be incorporated into the battle order of our Hetao army belong to our regular army structure, and their military pay will be based on the standards of the Hetao soldiers.
Distribution. Qingcheng, Elder Lingxian, what do you think?"
"We have no objection." Lingxian said quickly. After all, the Bloody Plateau has actually taken advantage. The military salary of the Hetao soldiers is half higher than that of the Qingfeng Empire, and the Dragon Cavalry Legion has only paid military salaries in the past two years.
Half of the time, the soldiers left behind on the Bloody Plateau have never been paid. Calculated this way, at least the 150,000 soldiers who were incorporated into the Hetao army will be able to receive sufficient military pay.
"Commander Bian, you have been guarding the Hetao for a long time. You are most familiar with the military situation. Please tell me the specific situation first." Haotian said to Bian Zhongxing.
Bian Zhongxing was not polite: "We have a total of 720,000 soldiers in the Hetao establishment, plus the Bloody Plateau Dragoon Legion and the 50,000 cavalry under the Qingcheng Mistress who will be included in our system, the total number of soldiers on the payroll is 85,000.
Thousand. However, since the lord's army went south, it suffered a lot of losses, so the actual strength is about 800,000. Among them, 120,000 scarlet cavalry are included. Our cavalry establishment is 380,000 households, and the actual strength is about 360,000.
The infantry establishment is 470,000 households, and the actual strength is 440,000."
Haotian's eyebrows twitched slightly. Although he had not been in Hetao in the past two years, he was aware of every expansion of the Hetao army. He was originally a lieutenant general in the army and had always been particularly sensitive to the number of troops. Bian Zhongxing
, it seems that the 40,000 elite soldiers of the four Ren Pixin were not included.
Bian Chongxing continued: "The original organizational structure of our army is completely inherited from the imperial army's organization method. However, as our territory continues to expand, the original military system has become increasingly unsuitable for our combat needs, especially next year.
After the beginning of spring, we are about to send troops to the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun. What we will face then are the elites of the three Northeastern countries, and our current military system is much more fragmented than the other countries. Therefore, military division reform is imperative. However,
In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, in terms of infantry, there will not be too many adjustments for those with households below 10,000. As for cavalry, we will soon face the nomads on the northwest prairie, so there is an urgent need to improve the coordination of our cavalry and their proficiency with bows and horses.
Therefore, we are going to break up the Scarlet Clan’s cavalry and divide them into our Hetao headquarters cavalry, just like military instructors, to improve the combat effectiveness of our cavalry as much as possible. As for the specific reform plan, my lord, this is up to you.
Announce it."
Shan Heqi suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Commander Bian, do you mean that our soldiers of the Scarlet Clan will cancel their original organizational structure and reorganize into mixed groups together with the Hetao Cavalry?"
Bian Zhongxing said calmly: "It is not to break up and mix, but to quickly improve the combat effectiveness of our cavalry soldiers as a military instructor. Moreover, this will also help the soldiers of the Scarlet Clan to integrate into our Hetao as soon as possible."
Shan Heqi seemed to be drunk, and said loudly with his face flushed: "Commander Bian, I don't think there is any difference! You are deliberately trying to annex our army!"
"Shut up!" Xue Qingcheng and Lingxian said almost at the same time. Among the four elders of the Bloody Plateau, Lingxian focuses on overall coordination, Si Yu Lianjie is good at government affairs, Hu Biyan is skilled in individual military tactics, and Shan He
Qi Ze is extremely brave. Because of this, his brain moves a little slower.
Lingxian and Xue Qingcheng are both smart people. One look at the faces of Luo Xiang and others, and they know that Hetao has already made up his mind. Regardless of whether they agree with it or not, it is already irreversible. Moreover, even if the Dragon Cavalry Legion does not fight these
In the scattered organization system, when they take the military pay from the Hetao and eat the military rations from the Hetao, they have to listen to the words of the Hetao even if they are unwilling to do so. If the time comes, and Luo Xiang and others are decisive in killing, maybe they will
One day, these more than 100,000 soldiers will be thrown out as death squads. Instead of collecting the corpses of the soldiers then, it is better to sell them to Loop now, at least to gain a good reputation.
Xue Qingcheng said with a livid face: "Elder Shan Heqi, as the saint and leader of the Blood Clan, I order you to shut up and not raise any objections on this matter. Commander Bian, Elder Lingxian and I have no objections.
Don’t worry, we still have the final say on the Bloody Plateau.”
Luo Xiang and others all smiled with satisfaction, and Bian Zhongxing also nodded: "The mistress and Elder Lingxian understand the righteousness, and we are grateful. Elder Shan Heqi, there is no need to be angry, this is a great benefit to both of us.
I believe you will understand the beneficial things in the future."
Shan Heqi's face turned red, but because Xue Qingcheng had given the order, he did not dare to speak. However, he believed in the heads of Xue Qingcheng and Lingxian, at least they would not let his side suffer.
