Chapter 49 Although the famous flower has an owner, I will loosen the soil
In the political arena, there is a carrot and a pit, and no matter what era, the number of carrots is far greater than the number of pits.
Therefore, it is necessary to use various means to make some holes to satisfy your own people.
This is something that a leader should pay attention to. Liu Bei has indeed been paying attention to it in the past, but this time, if it weren't for Jia Xu's reminder, he would have almost forgotten it.
This is not a good phenomenon.
At first, Liu Bei felt that he seemed to be a little slow in reaction due to his improved status.
Secondly, this incident also made Liu Bei realize that the forces under his command were a bit too mixed. In addition to his old troops who had been following him, many forces in Luoyang City were also following him.
The eunuchs, relatives, and the Ancient Literature School are all his allies and stand with him.
His considerations can no longer be limited to the old ministry. He also needs to give more consideration to those forces that are outside the old ministry. Otherwise, he will fail to accomplish anything and will fail more than he wants. This is them.
Having more power is a good thing, but there are more things to consider, and his autonomy seems to have declined accordingly.
This made him slightly unhappy.
But this is not a problem that can be solved overnight. For now, we still have to focus on dealing with the Yuan family.
Liu Bei's political declaration was widely disseminated throughout the land of Guandong by the imperial edict he sent. It was necessary to let every state and every county know his political declaration and what his attitude was, so as to win over local dissatisfaction with the Yuan family.
Cooperate.
In fact, as long as they don't cooperate, it's enough. As long as they don't cooperate, it will bring great problems to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu locally.
The march of the army generally requires the local government to use the official system to cooperate, including roads, bridges, preparing food and fodder in advance, etc.
With the cooperation of the local government, the army's march will be smoother. Without the cooperation of the local government system, the army's transit will be like a headless fly, and the efficiency will be several times lower.
Once things like roads are not paved, bridges are not built, and rations are not prepared in advance, it will be a huge test for the army's progress, and it will require several times the effort from the rear to make up for it.
If you are not careful, the date is delayed, the food loss is doubled, and the logistics collapse, the army may self-destruct on the march and never reach its destination.
This is one of the reasons why Liu Bei does not plan to take the initiative.
Because the political stance of most of the Kanto prefectures and counties has not yet been received, it is somewhat risky to take the initiative. If someone manipulates the logistics, and the front line is tight and the rear is tight, then there will be trouble.
So Liu Bei thought of simply transferring this risk to the Yuan brothers to see if they were going to take the huge risk to bring the army from their hometown to Luoyang.
If this is really the case, it is no longer an ordinary military operation. It is a door-to-door delivery of takeaways. It must be captured with a heavy blow, otherwise wouldn't the Yuan brothers' good intentions be in vain?
Liu Bei, who stayed in Luoyang, was not doing everything right, but he was practicing his internal skills intensively.
He spent a lot of energy to settle the disciples and former officials brought from Liangzhou and other places, and let them hold positions in the grassroots government offices of Sanfu Land and Sanhe Land.
Through the power of the general and auxiliary ministers, as well as Zhang Rang's cooperation, Liu Bei allowed his disciples and former officials brought from Liangzhou to control many inconspicuous grassroots positions, and placed them in the land of Sanfu and Sanhe.
Many of the old Liangzhou ministries controlled grassroots power.
In this way, Liu Bei's power base at the grassroots level was slowly taking shape, and he gradually gained a glimpse of how to increase his power reasonably and legally within the political rules of the Han Empire.
His status as a general and a ruler allowed him to arrange for his disciples and former officials to take up positions without any worries. The main chief administrators of the Three Rivers and Sanfu Land were basically his former officials, and he even went to
Yizhou arranged its own people.
We can seize power and expand our power through legitimate and legitimate means, and no one can oppose, refute, or reject it.
This feeling is really extraordinary.
Liu Bei still doesn't know what it means to have disciples and former officials all over the world.
But Liu Bei can still have a little understanding of what it means to have disciples and former officials all over Kansai.
This makes him love and hate the concept of dual monarchs!
In addition to administrative aspects, in terms of military matters, he also trains the army and trains officers day after day, allowing veterans to lead recruits to enhance their military skills and cultural level and become familiar with the special atmosphere in the military.
Soldiers need to train in techniques and tactics, read and write, master knowledge, learn the feelings of family and country, know the administrative divisions and political significance of the country, states, counties, and counties, as well as the standard concept that we are all Han people.
Starting from this broad concept, the soldiers believed from the bottom of their hearts that massacres, looting, etc. were sinful and should not be done.
Not only the people in this county are our own people, but people in a state and even the entire Han Empire all have the same identity - Han people.
We are all Han Chinese, why do we do such cruel things?
In the past, it was because people did not understand these principles and did not know that such cruel things should not be done. But now that everyone understands the principles, they should not continue to do such sinful things. Otherwise, not only will their conscience not be able to forgive them, but military law will also not allow them to do so.
When you have a full stomach and no worries about hunger, your conscience as a person will gradually develop.
Under the influence of a large environment, unless they are hopeless scumbags, others can be corrected.
And hopeless scum and bastards will be expelled from the army under the sentence of a military judge and will no longer be accepted.
Due to the issue of army expansion, Liu Bei was worried that the original combat effectiveness of his army and its compliance with military regulations and laws would be destroyed, so he was very concerned about the management and construction of the army and asked the military propaganda department to increase the intensity of internal propaganda.
Try your best not to let the moral standards of the military decline.
After more than two months of hard work, the recruits' technical and tactical improvements were limited, but their cultural and moral standards have improved significantly. They know and accept many things they cannot do, and the military's discipline is well maintained.
As long as discipline is maintained, the combat effectiveness will rise sooner or later. Moreover, the current enemy Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's army are not experienced soldiers. When they can reach Luoyang, we still don't know what the situation will be.
Liu Bei believed that he had enough time to train the combat effectiveness of his army and there was no need to rush.
First, provide the army with good food and drink, and let the malnourished big-headed recruits heal their bodies and bones, so that they can grow meat on their bodies, increase their strength, move their spears, and dance with their swords, so that their bodies can Once your quality catches up, it will be a matter of course.
At the end of June of the sixth year of Zhongping, Liu Bei's military reform plan in Luoyang was successfully implemented. All the troops summoned from Liangzhou and Yizhou arrived and were integrated into the ten armies of the Central Han Army.
At the same time, he successfully recruited more than 20,000 farmers in the Sanhe area and Hongnong County, and the refugees were recruited into the army, completing the number of people needed for the establishment.
The ten armies of Huben Army, Yulin Army, Xiaoguo Army, Xuanjia Army, Yingyang Army, Shence Army, Tianxing Army, Tiger Cavalry Army, Xiaoqi Army and Leopard Cavalry Army are already full in terms of establishment. However, Most of the troops are currently undergoing intense and intense training.
Because Liu Bei reorganized and reorganized these armies, the number of elite veterans in Liangzhou was not the largest. Many veterans were promoted to captains, captains and even military princes, becoming grassroots officers, supporting the backbone and soul of an army.
Therefore, there are currently only three armies that are at full strength and ready to attack at any time, namely the Tiger and Beni Army, the Tiger Cavalry Army and the Leopard Cavalry Army.
These three armies were fully armed by Liu Bei directly using Liangzhou's veteran soldiers. Considering that a war could happen at any time, he first used 30,000 elite veterans to form three emergency mobile main forces that could fight immediately. The remaining seven armies were all in Big exercise.
Because there were so many people training, the military camps of the seven armies were turned into temporary recruit training camps.
Professional instructors lead the recruits to practice various techniques and tactics, and the instructors lead the recruits to practice reading and writing skills, striving to get rid of illiteracy as soon as possible and become a "literate person" who can read and write.
In addition to the 100,000-strong reorganized army, Liu Bei is still recruiting new soldiers, and he has many excuses to the outside world.
For example, Luoyang Baguan Xiaowei was originally the Baguan Duwei. The defenders ranged from a few hundred to a thousand. The number was not large, and it did not require too many full-scale troops. However, after Liu Bei won it, he felt that it was not possible, so Directly upgrade them to Eight Pass Colonels.
Since he is a lieutenant, according to Liu Bei's army establishment, he has to lead a full battalion of 3,000 men to guard, so this is the standard establishment of eight battalions of 24,000 men. This is natural and the court cannot refuse.
Therefore, Liu Bei's continued recruitment of troops was reasonable and legal.
Therefore, according to the establishment, the army under Liu Bei's reasonable and legal direct control has exceeded 120,000 people. This is a powerful force capable of deterring the world. Although it will not conquer the world, it is enough to deter the world.
In order to meet the daily training needs of so many troops and at the same time stabilize the prices of various materials in the Luoyang area, Liu Bei also spent a lot of effort.
