Chapter 1080 A glass of wine releases military power
The army is the lifeblood, Shao Shude knows this very well.
On the fourteenth night of the first lunar month, he held a banquet in honor of officials from the Privy Council of Nanbei Yamen in the Shangyang Palace, which had been newly built a year ago.
"Over the years, Dalang has worked hard and diligently, and has made great contributions, but his reputation has not been recognized. I feel guilty in my heart. Come, drink this cup to the full, and I will definitely live up to your Zhu family in the future." Shao Shude picked up the wine bottle and said.
"Your Highness, why are you doing this?" Zhu Shuzong was a little moved, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Do you regret it? Maybe a little.
Good man, who doesn’t want to carry a spear, leap on a horse, and ride across the battlefield?
After all, the Taiyuan Zhu family is also a family of generals. It has been passed down for six generations. It has mastered martial arts, military tactics, and military management. It is fully qualified to lead an army alone and fight in the north and south.
But when people in the world count all the generals in Kansai, they only mention Li Tangbin, Gao Renhou, Lu Huaizhong, Zhe Siyu, Yang Yue, etc., and even Yang Liang, Li Renjun, Cai Songyang, Guan Kaiyan, Zang Dubao, Zhang Yanqiu, Ye Li, etc.
Yu Lue, Wu Zang Jie Ming and others all mentioned it, but few people mentioned Zhu Shuzong.
The king still understands me!
"That's right." Shao Shude poured him another bowl of wine and said: "Those who don't know how to fight will watch the military envoys, command the envoys, and recruit the envoys with relish. When I lead the army to go on an expedition, the first thing I do is to go to the rear.
Take good care of the coaches and provide for the military. Even if it is an iron army and a strong army that is rampant in the world, as long as it goes into battle, there will be losses. Even if it does not go into battle, there will be losses. Without good coaches, in my words, it is
A one-time army cannot afford to fight for a long time."
Provides, transports and distributes logistical materials for military envoys.
Coaches provide qualified reinforcements.
Every year in the military, old men of old age retire, which will make the army incomplete.
During daily training, there will also be personnel losses. Sometimes an epidemic will bring about a large number of attrition.
After entering the battle, countless people died.
Even the Iron Army, which has been victorious in every battle, cannot avoid this kind of loss. If there are no capable coaches to train the system hard, train new recruits, and transport them to the troops, the Iron Army will fight less and less, become weaker and weaker, and become a disposable army.
Once it's consumed, it's gone.
Zhu Shuzong drank it all in one gulp again.
Shao Shude also drank it all in one gulp, and then said with a smile: "The marriage of our children can no longer be postponed. When Chengjie comes back from Shu, let Jinniang marry my son. From now on, she will be the crown princess, and she will
As a queen, the Zhu family will be rich and have no worries."
When Zhu Shuzong heard this, he suddenly felt that all the hard work in the past was not in vain, and said: "I will go to the Privy Council tomorrow to sort out the files of Ling, Shaanxi and Yun three courtyards."
"Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, give me a day off." Shao Shude said.
Everyone laughed.
In fact, everyone understands what Lao Zhu is like. Why are you working so hard? Isn't it just for wealth? Lao Zhu's family is enviable, and his grandson will become the emperor. This is the solid foundation of the family's prosperity. After all, he can kill his grandfather and his uncle with a painful hand.
Emperors are always in the minority.
"From now on, the Dujiao Envoy Yamen will be abolished, and the training of new soldiers will be assigned to the Nanya Privy Council. The Weizhou Academy will be established. The Shaanxi and Yun Second Courtyards will be under the jurisdiction of the Nanya Privy Council. The Ling and Wei Second Courtyard will be under the jurisdiction of the Lower Court.
It is under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council. The number of new soldiers will not increase. Each academy is training new recruits. They will be counted first and then slowly deployed. From now on, the number of soldiers in any one academy shall not exceed 25,000." Shao Shude said.
The two privy envoys of Nanya were Zhe Zongben and Hu Zhen. Before Zhe Zongben arrived, Hu Zhen was present and immediately agreed.
Among the four major recruit training institutions, the Shaanzhou Academy will mainly recruit recruits from Dongdu, Hezhong, Heyang, Shaanxi, Guo, and Tonghua. The Yunzhou Academy will mainly recruit recruits from Bian, Xu, Yun, Yan, Qing and other towns. Later, it may
There are also some Hebei soldiers who are mainly from the Lingzhou Academy in Guanbei, and Hexi soldiers from the Weizhou Academy who are mainly recruits from Longyou Road.
It can be seen that Shao Shude is still very inclined to his Kansai base.
Especially the newly added Weizhou Academy explains everything.
There are more than ten prefectures in Longyou, where both Tibetan and Han people are mixed, and the people are brave. After recruiting those people, they will be controlled by military law. After a few years, they will become good soldiers. They will then be dispersed into various armies as supplementary troops, and they will continue to contribute to Shao Shude's army.
War machines provide nourishment.
"The management of various departments of the Forbidden Army, expeditions, and the Nanya Privy Council will also be arrested. From now on, they will all be formalized, and everything can no longer be as simple as it is now." Shao Shude said again...??.
He has prestige and is not afraid. To put it bluntly, even if there are no rules and systems, the army will not be in chaos.
But he has to consider for his son, it must be formalized and institutionalized - of course, his son must first have prestige, otherwise no matter how strict the system is, it will be in vain.
"There are seven infantry armies, Tielin, Wuwei, Tianxiong, Yicong, Tujiang, Tiande, Jinglue, Feilong, Heigui, Golden Sword, Iron Cavalry, Silver Spear, Dingnan, and Flying Bear.
About 300,000 infantry and cavalry. From now on, all towns will be under the jurisdiction of the Yuhousi, and the Xia Palace will let go, and the Nanya Privy Council will be unified under the jurisdiction. Garrison, training, mobilization, logistics, military pay, etc. will be fully taken over." Shao Shude held the wine bottle.
, looked at Hu Zhen, Zhu Shuzong, Zhang Changyuan and others, and said: "I owe everything to you, don't let me down."
"I will obey His Highness's orders." Everyone responded.
According to the system, the Nanya Privy Council will have two privy envoys and four deputy privy envoys, a total of six officials with real power. Currently, there are only four officials: Zhe Zongben, Hu Zhen, Zhu Shuzong, and Yang Yue, and two more are needed.
They all know some rules. Forget about daily management. To mobilize the army and go on an expedition, the emperor needs to issue an edict. The privy councilors must read the decree in public. The six privy envoys and deputy privy envoys must sign and seal together for the order to take effect. How to do this?
You can ignore the emperor's imperial edict and just listen to the King of Xia, but there are not enough personnel. Zhe Zongben, Yang Yue is still on the way, can it be enough for two people to sign? I am afraid that someone else is going to take office, who could it be?
Shao Shude did not say anything, but turned to the people in the Privy Council of Bei Ya, picked up the water bottle, and said: "The Imperial Guards of Nan Ya are the pillars of the country, and the soldiers of Bei Ya Fan cannot be neglected. Hengshan two departments, six inspection envoy tribes, Yulin, and Woyang
, Hongyuan, the subordinates of Xianyou Sigong, and the Fan tribes in Helong, have hundreds of thousands of people in their ranks. From now on, the Zhenbei Protectorate will be abolished, and the management and performance of the Fan tribes will be handled by you.
Get up and don’t let up.”
"As ordered." Yang Can and Qi Ruizhang, two Privy Envoys from Beiya, stood up together, and Deputy Privy Envoy Zhang Guibian also stood up and responded in unison.
"Drink this cup to the full." Shao Shude drank it all in one gulp.
"Drink this cup to the full." The three of them drank together.
Shao Shude nodded with satisfaction.
The young men of the Tibetan tribe helped him a lot in his great conquests, and countless people were killed and wounded. Moreover, there was almost no pension, and no military pay was paid in peacetime. He has always attached great importance to cannon fodder with such a high cost-effectiveness.
Yeli, Wuzang, and Weicai were married to the Shao family and had a close relationship. Qi Xinzhang's granddaughter also made a marriage contract with his second son Shao Mingyi and married into the Shao family as his official wife.
There is also the Sigong Slave Department, which always rewards them generously and gives them a way to serve as officials, which can be said to be a lot of effort.
The mobilization of soldiers in the North Yamen is similar to that in the South Yamen. It requires the order of the Supreme Khan and the signature and seal of the six Privy Envoys and Deputy Privy Envoys of the North Yamen before it can take effect.
Anyone who privately leads the army to leave the designated pastureland is committing rebellion. The imperial court immediately mobilizes various tribesmen, the imperial army, and the border army town army to be established in the future to suppress it.
With the military power of the North and South Yamen in his hands, Shao Shude's position was as stable as Mount Tai, and no one could shake it.
This night was a night for him to unify his thoughts and set the rules. I don't know if it can be called a cup of freedom to release military power. At least the power of the general of the imperial army was restricted a lot.
****
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Shangyuan Festival.
Early in the morning, the queen went to court again in the Guanfeng Hall, held a New Year's Eve meeting, and then announced a series of personnel appointments and dismissals.
On the grounds that he was "born as a virtuous man, and a heroic spirit came from the mountains," Wang Bian, the Shaoyin of the Jingzhao Prefecture, was awarded the title of Deputy Privy Envoy of the Privy Council of Nanya.
On the grounds of "changing customs and seeking thinner people, and ordering to suppress the power of the army", he was granted the title of Military Envoy of Shannan West Road, and Zhuge Zhongfang, the Yin of the Xingyuan Dynasty, was appointed Deputy Privy Envoy of Nanya Privy Council. As for whether Zhuge Zhongfang followed the imperial edict or not,
It's hard to say, anyway, this is the last chance Shao Shude gave him.
On the grounds that "he had been appointed to the imperial court early, but later took on the drama responsibilities", Wang Yao was granted the title of Deputy Privy Envoy of the Privy Council of Beiya.
On the grounds that "the writings of latitude and longitude were used to open the country, and the skills of Tao and Qiang were mastered", Zhe Silun was awarded the title of Deputy Privy Envoy of the Privy Council of Beiya - yes, Huaixi Town was to be abandoned, this was also a trial.
On the grounds that "loyalty in public affairs and civil and military affairs are the classics", Ren Yuji, the envoy of the Tianping Army, was appointed as the Deputy Privy Envoy of Beiya.
He also granted Du Hong the title of Privy Councilor of Beiya Privy Council on the grounds that he had "far-reaching knowledge and outstanding intelligence".
The two Privy Councils have both their own people and United Front personnel, so the main body is considered to be fully integrated.
These positions are actually not very popular among military generals, because they are more of a civilian job rather than leading troops to fight.
When Shao Shude first proposed it, many people laughed and said it was a nursing home. A bunch of old men who couldn't fight put down their swords and guns and went to work as pickets and settle accounts every day.
When the news about the selection of the four Privy Councilors came out, Gao Renhou was very happy that he did not become Privy Councilor. Of course, Lao Gao had a good fortune. It was normal for him to look down on the Privy Councilor when he accompanied the prince to fight.
After the court was over, the queen took the royal chariot and led all the civil and military officials to Changxia Tower.
Taifu Shao Shude and Taishi Feng Yanqing, one on the left and one on the right, accompanied the queen to show their kindness.
After the queen went through this period of court experience, she gradually became more comfortable with it and no longer so nervous.
As she walked forward, she would cast her eyes on Shao Shude from time to time, her heart tumbling with uncertainty.
The Taifu is smart, wise and energetic. He often hits the point when he speaks, which is admirable.
He also had a good reputation as a soldier and was a good soldier in military campaigns. It would be no exaggeration to say that he was an outstanding figure in the world.
Such a smart, ruthless, and far-sighted person shouldn't have gotten involved with a "former" queen like himself, but he just did it.
The queen was very worried. With such a noble status, she must have been stared at by many people. What should she do? She was hugged, rubbed, touched, and even bitten for a long time. This bastard!
The queen sighed, it's just that she still has desires. Is there really no such desire in her heart, imagining that the master will give her an explanation after the founding of the country?
There were many flags and banners, and there were clouds of honors. The huge procession crossed the street and headed towards Changxia Gate.
At this moment, the emperor seemed to be forgotten by everyone.
The "sickness" is very serious, so it is better to stay still and not move. You need to take a good rest.
This imperial court is indeed not far from falling apart.
