Chapter 4183: Send generals to recruit troops everywhere
Zhuge Changmin had a comfortable smile on his face. Liu Yu's words were exactly what he wanted. On the one hand, he did not have to go to Yuzhou to intervene in the dispute that was likely to arise between Liu Yu and Liu Yi. On the other hand, Liu Yu's words were also equivalent to
With his power to expand the army, he was able to expand the original establishment of 7,000 troops to more than 20,000 troops. You must know that Liu Yi's Yuzhou Army only had an official establishment of about 20,000 troops. Of course,
The actual strength of the troops was more than 50,000, but Liu Yi had to find ways to raise the troops himself for the excess, and Liu Yu promised that the imperial court would be responsible for the supply of weapons, food and fodder for the troops he expanded.
In this troubled world, of course, those who support the army hope to have as many troops as possible, but as a general, he is often guarding one side at the same time, and he must also consider the production issues in the territory. If too many people serve as soldiers, that kind of situation will
The number of capable laborers will be reduced accordingly, and when the time comes that they can no longer make ends meet, they will have no choice but to disband and go home in vain.
On the other hand, Liu Yu was the former puppet emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and a small imperial court. It was impossible for a general to allow his troops to guard a certain place for a long time to prevent the tail from falling.
Leaving aside giants like Liu Yi and He Wuji who are at the same level as him, small state commanders like Zhuge Changmin and miscellaneous generals can be adjusted at will. At that time, the super staff who have worked hard will not be allowed to lead.
Going to a new place to take up a post.
Therefore, Zhuge Changmin also tried every means to perform meritorious service on the battlefield in order to improve his official position and increase the number of his subordinates accordingly. It seems that this time he worked hard during the Northern Expedition and finally received corresponding rewards.
Zhuge Changmin kept nodding his head and said: "Okay, okay, I firmly support this order of sending slaves, Changmin. These are troubled times, Liu Yuxin is destroyed, demon thieves and Qiang thieves are attacking one after another. At this time, we need to recruit more troops and horses."
, just in case, I will definitely train these ten thousand people within two months, and also let their brothers who return home to visit their relatives return to the team as soon as possible. After the autumn harvest, here in Jiangbei, I dare not boast too much about Haikou, at least twenty thousand elites can
The master of war is always at the disposal of the slaves."
Liu Yi smiled slightly: "Twenty thousand is still not enough. In this way, I will give you the land of Xuzhou, the quota of 80,000 soldiers and horses, and the original establishment of Meng Longfu, the prefect of Donghai, will also be transferred to your name."
Zhuge Changmin was slightly startled: "Meng Long? Didn't his old subordinates follow Huai Yu?"
Luo Qiao nodded: "Here at Huaiyu, I will reduce the number of troops under his name and use them to accept Meng Long's old troops. Those who have passed by these times will no longer be placed under the name of Donghai County. Originally, these
The soldiers and horses are the old troops who have followed the Raptors for many years, and are not from Donghai County. I originally planned to let the Raptors serve as Sima of Qingzhou after conquering Qingzhou, and let these thousands of brothers settle here, but it is a pity."
At this point, Liu Yi's expression turned sad. Thinking of Meng Long's heroic death in battle, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
After Shen Tianzi and Shen Linzi whispered a few words in private, they also stepped forward and saluted: "Brother Jinu, there are less than 700 Wu soldiers around us now. There are 7,000 brothers who are still recovering from illness, but the military situation is so strong that no delay can be allowed.
, please allow us to rush back to Wudi now and recruit rural soldiers from Wuxing and Wujun again. I guarantee that within a month, I will be able to bring 10,000 elite soldiers.
Shen Linzi smiled and said: "Before, our brothers' combined official positions were only enough to lead 7,000 troops, and you only gave us the power to recruit 7,000 troops. Moreover, many people from Wu went to fight in the north. I have heard this for a hundred years. The barbarian cavalry in the north are so powerful and ferocious. To be honest, many people were still worried about the last conscription and did not dare to go into battle."
Zhu Lingshi said confidently: "In this attack on Yan, for more than a year, 11,000 of our soldiers were withdrawn from the country due to injuries or rotations, but those from Jingkou were still able to fight. , more than 10,000 people. Of course, some people may get rewards after fighting the war, buy properties in the capital, and move to Jiankang. However, even so, I still have the confidence to recruit more than 1,000 people in Jingkou. Jingkou is still our largest city. The best place to send troops in Jin is the cold-blooded Sanzi, who are happy to hear the battle. If it is to defeat demon thieves or fight against the Qiang captives, they can form an army spontaneously without my mobilization."
Liu Yi said seriously: "Changmin, you have to take on this important responsibility. Not only the eight counties in the north of the Yangtze River, but also the land in the south of Shannan where Liu Yu used to be, and the so-called Qiao Zhu and Bingzhou will also come under your jurisdiction. In this way, you have Eight counties plus one state, I will give you an establishment of 80,000 troops. You can arrange the local, state and county soldiers as appropriate. In two months, I will need your time.
, don’t talk to me about the sergeants returning to their hometowns and dividing the towns into various places. I want you to be able to immediately dispatch at least 20,000 fighting men with sufficient food, grass and weapons. Can you do it?"
Zhuge Changmin nodded: "I understand. Donghai County is also placed under my rule. In this way, the eight counties in Jiangbei and the land of Xuzhou are all under my responsibility, right?"
Zhuge Changmin and his two brothers looked at each other, saluted and entered. When they got off the slope, they looked at each other, smiled, and ran away. Perhaps these willow branches blowing in the wind can reflect the current mood of the veteran. .
"But this time we destroyed Liu Yu and defeated the Hu cavalry. After doing this, everyone's confidence increased. It turns out that our heavy troops in Wu also defeated the northern Hu barbarians head-on for the first time. When we attack Guanggu next time, Wu Jun and There are dozens of powerful families in Jinling County who have applied to participate in the war. After taking into account the troops we have brought out, there are at least 20,000 people available. As long as you give an order to Brother Jinling, we will keep one Within a month, we can bring 10,000 capable soldiers to the battlefield. You don’t have to worry about the equipment, they are all ready.”
Liu Yi smiled slightly: "Very good, then go ahead and prepare. I have other things to discuss here."
Liu Yi laughed: "You just brought out 7,000 troops to fight Liu Yu. Why, if I let you go back to Wu, you can pull up a team of 10,000 people?"
Zhuge Changmin kept patting his chest: "There is no joke in the army. In two months, if I, Zhuge Changmin, cannot provide 20,000 troops, I will come to see you with my head raised!"
Luo Qiao nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. With the help of the heavy troops from Wu, and the Jiangbei area, I can have 80,000 troops. Even if the Yan army is too late to return, I can feel relieved."
Having said this, he looked at Zhu Lingshi: "Dashi, you used to be stationed in Jingkou for a long time. I asked you to go to Jingkou to recruit troops. How many troops can you bring out?"
Liu Yi smiled and nodded: "Yes, Jingkou is our most reliable and stable rear area at any time. However, in previous wars, the people of Jingkou have shed too much blood. In the future, I hope that Dajin will be everywhere
All in Jingkou, everyone is vying for heroes, so how difficult is it to revive?!"
