Guanzhong can send up to 50,000 troops, which is already the limit, because the Great Patriotic War took place in Guanzhong. Although they won a great victory, all the counties were plundered by the Turks.
The county seat is fine, but the county seat also depends on the countryside.
The population of the Great Sui Dynasty was not like that of later generations where the county town occupied most of the population at the county level. In the Great Sui Dynasty, the population of the county town was just more concentrated. Most of the population was still distributed outside the city because the people lived on the land.
of.
A big battle was won, but Guanzhong was already devastated, and Guanzhong was the capital of the country, so even if Yuwenshu was not happy, he would not dare to recruit too many troops in Guanzhong. Otherwise, if Guanzhong rebelled, it would really kill him.
Dead.
"You should go to Luoyang early. The prince recommends you to be the commander of his majesty's guards. His majesty also thinks highly of you. Go there early and prepare." Just after the new year, Yu Wenshu told his eldest son Hua Ji at home to pack his bags and leave early.
Yu Wenhua had already prepared Yang Guang for thousands of years and was deeply trusted. However, no matter how much Yang Guang trusted Yu Wenshu, he would definitely be willing to keep the other party's eldest son by his side, which was somewhat like a hostage.
Therefore, everyone is satisfied with Yang Ming's suggestion.
Yu Wenhuaji frowned and said: "Zhao Deyan has received news that the new Khan Ashina Dujishi is already making preparations, and the Eighteen Grassland Departments are also mobilizing urgently. Although Shibi died in Guanzhong, most of the Eastern Turks
The losses were not heavy, and the main force is still there. According to Zhao Deyan, the opponent's force can recruit at least 600,000 grassland cavalry. This year's northern expedition will not be easy to fight."
Yu Wenshu also sighed and said: "It's not the best time to send troops, but it's not impossible to fight. We, the Sui Dynasty, led the attack to destroy the power of Goguryeo, and our morale was extremely high. The East Turks lost another battle in Guanzhong, and they died in the battle at the end.
They are afraid of me, the Sui Dynasty. Since they are timid, if they are in decline during the battle, they will easily be defeated. This can be used to my advantage. What they really have to worry about is the rear. The prince's burden is too heavy this time.
Already."
"It seems like he can't do anything, right?" Yu Wenhuaji said: "The treasury has no money and no food, and all of it has been allocated to the army. If there is a fire in the backyard like the last expedition to Goguryeo, the prince will have no way to save himself."
Now almost everyone knows that if there is a war, there will definitely be trouble everywhere.
Yuwen Shu said: "So we have to fight quickly. The war should not be delayed for more than half a year. The longer it is delayed, the more difficult it will be for the prince. Now the relationship between the prince and us is easing, so we cannot make it difficult for him. Your Majesty is very happy to have achieved success. If the Turks surrender,
We must accept the surrender this time. In this way, His Majesty's face will be taken into account, and the difficulties of the prince in the rear will also be taken care of. As ministers, you should serve your king with all your heart. If you can do this well, your appointment in the court will be precarious. We can
never fail."
Yu Wenhuaji nodded and said: "I'm stupid and not very good at talking. It's best to let Shiji Zhiji go to Luoyang with me. Then we can also blow some wind in front of His Majesty and promote the surrender. Zhao Deyan also needs to have some fresh air.
, he is now working with the third son, Ashina Dubi (Jie Li), and is quite popular."
Yu Wenshu shook his head: "Don't say hello to Deyan. As a Han Chinese, if you encourage the Lord to surrender, you will be jealous. In the future, when the war starts and the Turkic army is deployed, he will find a way to send someone to inform me, so this victory is extremely unlikely."
Big, the key is to fight quickly, which is why Yang Yue wants to be my general manager Shi, and I decisively agreed. This person's military skills are not much different from Yang Su's. With his assistance, the chance of victory is greater."
Yu Wenhua said nothing more, but greeted his two younger brothers and asked them to pack up and go to Luoyang with him.
Yang Guang, who is in Jiangdu, has not yet left because the taxes in Jiangnan are being collected and half of the counties have not yet paid.
Moreover, this time the imperial court also wanted to recruit troops in the south, recruiting 100,000 people.
One hundred thousand were sent from the south, 50,000 were sent from Guanzhong, Yang Guang's 150,000 were actually from Guanzhong, 50,000 were sent from Luoyang, and the rest were recruited from Shanxi, Hebei, and Shandong.
It is enough to gather 150,000 people from these three places.
Yang Guang is not stupid either. He is also worried that Hebei and Shandong are too resistant and cannot stumble twice on the same stone. He always has a better memory, although not much.
But here comes the problem. It is true that there are only 150,000 soldiers, but there are more than one million civilians. The pressure is still on the four provinces of Shanhe. These four provinces have suffered from bad luck for eight lifetimes. What Yang Guang has done since he ascended the throne has caused disaster.
The trouble lies with these four provinces.
People from the south would not come to the north to work as husbandmen for you, and Yang Guang did not dare to do so. He knew better than anyone how unstable the south was.
Furthermore, trade in the south was now the most developed place in the entire Sui Dynasty. Yang Guang would definitely be reluctant to mess up this place, otherwise the north and south would be in chaos, and the situation would be unmanageable.
Historically, the Xiaoguo Army was a new army recruited from the people of Guanzhong during Yang Guang's second conquest of Goguryeo. It was a recruitment, not a conscription.
Those who are recruited are called compulsory soldiers, and those who are recruited are called mercenaries.
In this life, the Xiaoguo Army also appeared, which was the Southern Army of 100,000 people. This 100,000-strong army was divided into ten commanders, each with 10,000 men, named Ying Yanglang General. Most of the generals were from the South.
people.
This group of people, Yang Guang, did not stay with him, but were assigned to Lai to protect his children.
Historically, the Xiaoguo Army was Yang Guang's imperial guard, but in this life, Yang Guang's left and right Yi guards and the main force of the left and right Bishen Palace were all there. How could he use such temporary soldiers as his imperial guards?
It’s extremely helpless to come to protect the children. I’m not worthy of being the main force, am I?
When we fought against Goguryeo, what did you allocate to me? This time when we fought against the Turks, what did you allocate to me?
Fei Qingnu, the confidant general, said in the mansion where he came to protect his son in Jiangdu: "It's another group of new troops. We don't even have time to train."
Cousin Lai Chengmin said: "Fortunately, there are many people here who were from the Jianghuai Army who accompanied us on the expedition. The deployment should be okay, but the problem is that the military pay owed last time has not been paid out, and all the generals below have
We are arguing."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The eldest son Lai Kai said: "Father, should I raise some money from the elders in my hometown to make up for the gap first? When I return from the expedition in the future, we will find a way to pay back the money."
Go ahead, otherwise we will bring a bunch of debt collectors on the road, and I’m afraid the military will be unsettled.”
Lai Hu'er smiled and said: "No need, why did your Majesty change Jiangnan soldiers to recruiting soldiers? It's because they still owe military pay, so they can't be recruited. If it is changed to recruiting soldiers, the accounts will be separated, and the money from last time will be the last time.
, this time it’s this time.”
When recruiting soldiers, you don't give money first, but slowly. You give some when you go out to fight, you give some halfway, you give some before you fight, and you pay after you finish.
The final settlement is a big one, and according to the current national strength, it will basically be in arrears.
But this money, in name, cannot be regarded as supplementary military pay from last time, but can only be regarded as this time's salary.
Because if you count this money as reimbursement of military pay, the soldiers will still not be able to recruit, because the guards will think, how long will you owe me after I beat you this time? If I die, will the pension money be lost?
.
Because at the moment when the imperial court allocates military pay, it gives priority to the living, because the living will make trouble, but the dead will not.
Fei Qingnu frowned and said: "Zhou Fa is still in Pyongyang, Fan Zigai is in Wuwei, and I don't know half of the generals of Xiaoguo Army this time. Coordination and mobilization will not be easy."
Lai Hu'er said: "We set out from Zhuojun. It is just a flank, not the main force to attack the enemy. As long as we involve the six tribes on the east side of the Eastern Turks, we will be successful. There is Pei Ju in Zhuojun, and he is already deploying. You go now.
In each camp, meet those Ying Yang Lang generals and find out for me which ones can be used and which ones cannot be used. At least we must have a clear idea."
Lai Chengmin nodded: "Don't worry, brother, you still need to know people when hiring. Although these people are arranged by His Majesty, you are the chief manager. If you want to change them if you don't feel comfortable, Your Majesty will not stop you."
Lai Huer smiled and did not answer him. Can it be changed? It cannot be changed.
The ten Ying Yang Lang generals are Sima Dekan and Hu Ben Lang general of Zuo Beishen Prefecture.
Yuan Li, from the Yuan family in Luoyang.
Liu Dewei, the son of Liu Zijiang, the governor of Piling County.
Wang Jingyu, the brother of Wang Zhuoling, Yang Guang's concubine.
Wang Shichong, Jiangdu County Magistrate.
Xiao Xuan, the governor of Danyang County.
Xiao Mian, a famous person and the leader of the great rebels in the late Sui Dynasty.
Xie Wu, the prefect of Qinghe County, was born in the Xie family of Chen County. Yang Guang was once Qianniu Beishen. He is the younger brother of Xie Wen. Generally speaking, the elder brother is a literary person, and there must be a younger brother with a single character of martial arts. Anyway, China has had this since ancient times.
Naming habits.
Cai Yuankai, the son of Cai Yan, a wine minister in Yang Guangjin's palace and currently a doctor of the Imperial Academy.
Shen Shuyi, Shen Wuhua’s younger brother.
Among these ten people, Sima Dekan and Yuan Li were the only ones who had actually fought in the war. The reason why the rest were appointed as Ying Yanglang generals was because they could recruit soldiers and horses.
This is the role of people. Not to mention Wang Shichong, after working as a magistrate in Jiangdu County for so many years, he has become familiar with the local aristocratic families.
The two men surnamed Xiao were based in the south of the Yangtze River. The Xiao family had a good reputation and were also the main sponsors of recruiting troops. Xiao Xuan and Xiao Xian were the two who followed the army to gain merit.
The remaining Wang, Xie, Cai, and Shen are all powerful families in the south. They are not called clans here, but their influence on the local area is similar to that of clans, except in the imperial court.
This arrangement is actually very obvious. Whoever can recruit soldiers will be the general. But when the war actually breaks out, they have to listen to the deputy general.
Because they are really incompetent. Half of the ten people are weak scholars and have no idea what a battlefield is like.
This is the most troublesome part of coming to protect children, but he can't say that the emperor's arrangement is inappropriate. If they don't arrange it this way, where will 100,000 people come from?
Treat the local with the local, this is the only law.
You must be afraid of your village party secretary, but you may not be afraid of a mayor from out of town. That's the reason.
The Xiao family has made a lot of money relying on water transportation in the past few years. Originally they were Yang Guang's small treasury. Now that you are needed this time, there will naturally be a lot of money. The Xiao family has provided one-third of the money needed to recruit troops this time.
