In the first month of the third year of Jian'an, the General's Office officially issued official documents to consolidate the army and expand the army.
The largest expansion is the first of all five war soldiers. Well, it should be said that they are six war soldiers. In addition to the original five war soldiers, due to the situation, an army of pure war soldiers was added, among which:
Zhao Yun was appointed as the former general, commanding the Jizhou Army, commanding the Jizhou Army. His subordinate generals Lu Kuang and the deputy general Lu Xiang, the army headquarters were located on the front line of Liyang and Cangting, and looking down at Yanzhou.
Zhang He was appointed as the left general, commanded the Qingzhou Governor, commanded the Qingzhou Army, and the partial general Guan Hai, and the deputy general Han Qiong. The army was stationed in Linzi, guarding Qingzhou, and targeting Xu and Yanzhou.
Taishi Ci served as the right general, led the Sili School Captain, commanded the Sizhou Army, the partial general, the deputy general, Lu Weihuang, the army was stationed in Luoyang, guarding Sanchuan, and looking around.
Hao Zhao was appointed as the general of the Later General, and led the Youzhou Army, the side general Pei Yuanshao, and the deputy general Jiang Yiqu. The army was stationed in Yijing, guarding Youzhou, and the north to control the Hulu.
Qu Yi was appointed as the general of the attack on the enemy, led the commander of Bingzhou, and commanded the Bingzhou Legion. The general was Yu Du, and the deputy general Li Damu, the legion was stationed in Yanmen, echoing Hao Zhaoyao.
Each of these five armies has a total of 30,400 soldiers, and is divided into three guards on the left, center and right. Each guard has 10,000 soldiers. It has set up a shooting camp, first climbing camp, dragon gun camp, and baggage camp
, respectively, are archers, pikemen, and baggage soldiers. Each battalion has two thousand people and three thousand baggage soldiers. In addition to the baggage camp, each battalion has one hundred light cavalry for the purpose of conveying messages. Each guard has another
Five hundred light cavalry were independently equipped, and the head general of the guard was directly led by the army, and one thousand cavalry was directly led by the army.
These warriors are not subject to local jurisdiction and only obey the general's mansion and can fight independently. In addition, once war occurs, the auxiliary soldiers of the prefectures and counties under their jurisdiction must also obey the orders of the commanders of the army.
As the central army that Wen Yuan once directly under, it has also been greatly expanded compared with other combat troops. The central army is divided into left and right guards. Lu Meng is appointed General Huwei, commanding the left guard of the central army, and deputy generals Wei Yan, Chen Wu, and Yan Liang are appointed Longxiang.
General, commanding the right guard of the central army, deputy generals Zhang Yan and Wang Ling.
The two guards each had 20,000 troops. These two troops fought during wartime, and were stationed near Yedu to defend the capital.
In addition, due to the occupation of the two states of Youbing and achieving stable horse-producing land, Wenyuan's cavalry troops were greatly expanded. In addition to the nearly 20,000 cavalry equipped with seven troops, the establishment of the cavalry camp also went to
It was improved by one step and expanded to 15,000 people, including 10,000 cavalry and 5,000 baggage troops, led by General Xu Huang of the Cavalry.
The Xuanying Guard, which has always been of the Imperial Guard, was also divided into two parts. Since the large amount of equipment of heavy cavalry was really unrealistic, Wen Yuan could only completely divide it into two battalions, one battalion was Zhonglei Camp, three thousand
The all-named heavy armored infantry was led by the Zhonglei Captain Yue Xi. The first battalion was the Pojun camp, with three thousand heavy armored cavalry. The main general was the Pojun camp, Wulangu.
After such a circle of expansion, the army of war soldiers under Wen Yuan suddenly expanded to more than 200,000. It should be enough to cope with the future situation at such a scale. There are also three county soldiers with first-level auxiliary soldiers in each prefecture city and county city.
In addition, there are more than 500 counties around Hebei, Sizhou, Luoyang, and Henei, each with 300 to 1,000 guards, and the land was mixed. After all, Wenyuan had a total of more than 500,000 auxiliary troops.
Compared with the past, Wen Yuan expanded more than 100,000 soldiers in one breath, and the number of soldiers who increased were almost all on the battlefield. The number of auxiliary soldiers and military farms was almost gone. This is mainly determined by the gradual economic situation. Improvement. Over the years, Jizhou and Qingzhou have not suffered too large-scale natural disasters and man-made disasters. Based on these two states, grain reserves and people's lives have gradually stabilized.
A peaceful and comfortable life is destined to be no longer willing to risk the threat of death to join the battlefield, so new military households can only recruit from the newly pacified Youbian and Sili.
However, this also brought Wen Yuan's intention. After all, the military household system can only be regarded as a temporary measure to quickly accumulate food and salary in troubled times. There are many disadvantages. The military household garrison system advocated by Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty did help him conquer the third Ming Dynasty. A century of foundation, but in the end, a large part of the decline of the Ming Dynasty was caused by the decay of the decayed military household system.
Therefore, Wen Yuan thinks that we should prepare for the future. If it is not a shortage of food, we should try not to expand the military households. In the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang's Qi family army was recruited and selected, and the glorious achievements of the general army are far beyond that of ordinary troops...
After the edict from the General's Mansion came out, the entire Hebei and even the world were shocked. They recruited auxiliary soldiers, selected combat soldiers, raised food, money, and weapons, and worked hard on a series of things, and it would take at least a year to complete the thorough preparation. All the heroes in the world were worried and fearful. When they thought that they might have to face more than 200,000 brave and professional Hebei Army in a year, everyone would be unable to help but feel chills on their backs.
In order to deal with the huge war beast Zhang Liao, Hebei, they also began to make intensive preparations to expand their troops and annex neighboring land, and of course some things that are not known to the public...
…………
Three years have passed since Jian'an. In this year, Hebei cannot find a place that is peaceful. It is recruiting soldiers and regulating weapons everywhere, and the loud shouts of soldiers during training can be heard everywhere.
And to say that there is the most lively place, it is a newly expanded ironworks workshop on the lakeside of Julu County Mainland.
The place is full of heat all year round, with blazing fires all night long, and weapons and armors in Jizhou and even the entire Hebei army are produced here.
Julu also became the loyal loyalty of Hebei Yetie, which surpassed Zhao County Handan and Qi County Linzi.
All of this comes from the efforts of a man who once served as the prefect here.
"Greetings to the prefect...uh no, payings to the general..."
One day in May, Wen Yuan suddenly returned to this land. He was originally leaving from Yedu to inspect Qinghe County, but suddenly received news from Ma Jun on the way, and suddenly changed his itinerary and changed his way to Julu County.
Because Ma Jun told him that he had created something that could greatly improve the efficiency of making armor.
When Wen Yuan heard this news, he felt ecstatic and immediately rushed to Julu County.
Returning to his hometown, looking at the familiar streets and alleys, Wen Yuan felt deeply moved. Some people could still remember Wen Yuan's appearance, but they always called him the wrong position when they came forward to pay their respects.
Think about it, it was true. When Luoyang came out to recruit soldiers, his reputation was not obvious, without any foundation, and there were only more than twenty personal guards around him, only holding the title of a commander. In a blink of an eye, eight years passed, who had ever thought A person under Ding Yuan's former career would have built such a large foundation and was respected by thousands of people.
