After Wang Anjie finished speaking, Yin Yinglei said: "Your Majesty, please give me instructions."
"My request is very simple, that is, within one or two years, we must build the three-chamber soldiers of the Lin'an Military Region into an elite force capable of fighting tough battles and good at fighting tough battles. As for the methods and methods of troop training, I generally will not interfere too much. You just
It needs to be discussed and reported to the Military Council. Of course, the premise is that it cannot violate the laws and military regulations of our DPRK."
Yin Yinglei said: "I understand, Your Majesty, please rest assured. After a year and a half, as long as we have experienced a few actual battles, our Lin'an Military Region will definitely not be weaker than the four frontier military regions."
I smiled and said: "As for actual combat, there is no need to wait until a year and a half later. Li Beiyang's troops will suppress the pirates and will probably attack the Ryukyu Islands. I asked you to send five thousand troops from the Lin'an Military Region just to let you participate in actual combat training.
The Ryukyu Islands are composed of several small island countries. You rotate your forces and capture them one by one for me."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your order,"
"Qing Yin Ai, which of you will lead the troops in this first expedition?"
"Your Majesty, I have discussed with General Wang that this time I will let the second commander, General Zhao Bao, lead his five thousand soldiers to Ryukyu. Next time, General Wu Songhan and General Zhang Shun will take turns."
"Well, most of the soldiers in the Lin'an Military Region have never been on the battlefield, even the original Forbidden Army. After a year and a half, your soldiers will become veterans with actual battlefield experience. The three commanders will
, do you have confidence?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust."
"Okay, General Zhao, General Wu, and General Zhang, I will replace the wine with tea and wish you all great success and the power of the Song Dynasty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," even though it was tea, the three commanders drank it down with great enthusiasm.
On the same day that I inspected the military camp, Mongolian Khan Kublai Khan also held the first military meeting of Mongolia this year in the military tent in his palace. It seemed that he and I had a clear understanding.
, you will definitely find that the twin stars still shine brightly, and they are indistinguishable.
In addition to the generals who went on the expedition to the Western Regions, almost all the generals in Mongolia were present, including Zong Wang Hedan, Habichi, Hu Ci, rarely seen veteran generals Wu Liang Hetai (the father of A Shu), A Shu, Boyan,
An Tong, Atahai, Ali Hague, Pingzhang political minister Zhao Bi, Dong Wenbing, Zhang Rou, Shi Tianze, Zhang Hongfan, Liu Zheng, who had just returned from the Western Regions, and other famous generals were present. Except for these generals
In addition, the only other people present at the meeting were the imperial master Hao Jing, the national master Ba Siba and Zhongshu Ling Zhenjin.
In the early days, Mongolia implemented a tribal military system. The men of each tribe were over fifteen years old and all men under seventy years old were soldiers. They dismounted from their horses to herd animals in peacetime and mounted their horses to attack in wartime. This was a typical combination of military and animal husbandry.
The system, its social organization and military organization are integrated into one, and it can be said that all the people are soldiers. The army composed of men from various Mongolian tribes is the "Mongolian cavalry" known as the invincible in the world.
As Mongolia's power expanded day by day and the area it occupied became wider and wider, the sources of its army's lieutenants also began to diversify. By the time of Mongol Khan and Kublai Khan, the army mainly consisted of three types: the first
Naturally, it is the Mongolian army. This is an army composed of Mongolians including some Semu people. It is also the main force of Mongolia and is equipped with all cavalry equipment. The second in line is the Tanma Red Army, which initially refers to drawing elites from various Mongolian tribes.
The vanguard, heavy duty or remote garrison troops were later joined by many Semu people, Han people, etc.; the last one was called the Han army, which was composed of Han people from the original Jin Dynasty area and some Jurchens and Khitans.
The Han army with the lowest status was basically infantry.
The Mongolian army is organized according to the decimal system and is divided into four levels: Wanhufu (commanding 3,000 to 7,000 troops), Qianhusuo (commanding 300 to 700 troops), Baihusuo, and Paizi (10 households). Ten thousand households, one thousand households, one hundred households, the head of the sign is not the Wanhu Mansion of the Mongolian army. The Qianhu office is also equipped with "Dalu Huachi", who is a supervisory officer. It is exclusively held by Mongolian or Semu nobles. The Wanhu Mansion is Set up the capital Wanhufu, the governor's office, etc., and the guards and troops will set up command and envoy offices above Qianhufu.
In 1260, since Kublai Khan began to take control of the Mongolian government, Mongolia's military system gradually introduced some of the Song Dynasty's organizational systems, but its core mechanism has remained unchanged.
"Dear dear friends, the news from the Southern Dynasty is that the Southern Dynasty has abolished the Forbidden Army and replaced it with the six major military regions and the Royal Forest Army. It seems that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty has great ambitions. He just allows it to be changed over and over again, and the cowardly Southerners are not afraid of it. They will be my invincible enemy of the Mongolian cavalry." Kublai Khan smiled, but then said seriously, "However, many of the institutions of the Southern Dynasty have been around for thousands of years, and they also have certain merits. Our dynasty needs it in this year and the next. If we are well prepared for the Southern Expedition, then it is time to make necessary adjustments to our court’s military affairs.”
"Great Khan, it will take another two years," Ali Hague said.
"Ali Hague, if you provide enough military expenditures for this Khan, I will order to go south today,"
"Hey, Khan, you know that I spent all my salary in exchange for wine. How could there be so much military expenditure?"
Kublai Khan knew Ali Hague's habits and ignored them, saying: "My dear friends, I have three general thoughts. The first is in terms of military types. Everyone knows that the cavalry of our dynasty is brave, so we must use our strengths and give full play to them. Due to the advantages of our war horses and riding skills, this Khan has discussed with the Imperial Master and the officials of the newly established Taipu Temple (the official office responsible for horses), and plans to equip all Tanma Red Army officers with mounts within this year, and at least within next year. Let the Han army officers have more than 30% of the war horses. At the same time, we must strictly control the south flow of our dynasty's war horses and block all possible routes to the south dynasty. The cavalry is the foundation of our dynasty and the main force of all military services in field battles. Therefore, This Khan will continue to provide strong support as always. At the same time, while our government is developing its strengths, it must also develop its original shortcomings. This Khan has said many times that we must vigorously develop the navy, but most generals still do not pay attention to it. Here, Ben Khan reiterated that the Navy is bound to develop, Liu Zheng,"
"I am here,"
"From today on, our dynasty has officially established the Navy Wanhu Mansion, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council. Liu Aiqing, I will appoint you as the head of the Wanhu Mansion and the general governor of the Navy Wanhu Mansion to take charge of all naval affairs of our dynasty. In addition, You joined the Privy Council together with Zhao Bi, Zhao Aiqing, and Shi Tianze, Shi Aiqing,"
After hearing this, Liu Zheng was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Khan, for your love."
Zhao Bi and Shi Tianze were also overjoyed. They knelt down to express their gratitude and said, "Thank you, Khan."
The supreme commander of the Mongolian army is concurrently served by the Great Khan. Below the Great Khan there is the clan king, followed by the chief of ten thousand households, and then the chief of thousands of households. Even generals such as Zhang Rou and Ali Hague, who have outstanding military exploits, are only the chief of ten thousand households. level, which is enough to show his high taste. Hu Chi, the guard general of Yangjia Town at that time, also belonged to the head of ten thousand households, but this was because Hu Chi was a clan member of the royal family.
Moreover, being able to join the Privy Council was something that Han generals would never even dare to think about.
The Privy Council of Mongolia was established by Kublai Khan in May of the fourth year of Zhongtong (Zhongtong, the year after Kublai Khan became Khan, the fourth year of Zhongtong was 1263), following the Han system, and set up one Privy Councilor and Tongzhi There is one member of the Privy Council, two deputies, and one member of the Privy Council. Among them, the Privy Envoy is concurrently held by King Zhenjin of Yan, but it is only a virtual title. Those who hold real power in the Privy Council are Tongzhi, the Privy Councilor, the deputy Privy Council, etc. At present, the veteran general Wu Lianghetai serves as the Tongzhi Privy Council, and the two deputy envoys are An Tong and Ata Hai. In the more than two years since the establishment of the Privy Council, this is the first time that Han people have served in it, let alone There are three people, even though they are all deputy positions.
Since Kublai Khan put down the Alibuge rebellion, the number of Han troops in Mongolia has reached more than 200,000, surpassing the number of Mongolian troops for the first time. Kublai Khan, who was proficient in Han culture, knew that in order to unify the world, he must use the Han people. The best strategy is to use the strength of the Han people to conquer the Han people. Most of the Han generals such as Zhao Bi and Shi Tianze were born during the rule of the Jin Dynasty and have little contact with the current Zhao family regime in the Southern Dynasty. These generals have followed Kublai Khan for a long time. He is an upright person and his loyalty should be a lesson to him.
Although everyone was slightly surprised by Liu Zheng's appointment as the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, they had long cultivated the idea of despising the Navy, so they were still able to accept it. However, when three Han generals entered the Privy Council at the same time, they made the Mongolian prince and general present I was shocked, even though Zhao Bi and Shi Tianze among them both had great military exploits.
Although the Mongolians have a rough temperament, they respect Kublai Khan very much. Even if they have opinions, they do not dare to express them easily in front of Kublai Khan. Zhenjin and other three people standing aside knew about this in advance and they all He had a favorable attitude, so his expression remained the same as before.
Kublai Khan's eyes were as bright as fire, and he quickly glanced at the Mongolian generals in the room, and continued: "Three Aiqings, Ping Shen, Liu Aiqing, whether you need manpower or financial and material resources, you can just raise it. If the emperor's master can't solve it, you can Come directly to this Khan. I will give you two years to build a navy that can compete with the Southern Dynasties."
Liu Zheng said respectfully: "Yes, Great Khan, I obey your order."
"Well, Liu Zheng, you are very talented. I heard that you once braved twelve people at night, crossed the chasm and climbed the city, attacked the city of the Kingdom of Jin, and captured its defender. Meng Shuai called him Sai Cunxiao. Such a thing Bar,"
When Liu Zheng saw Kublai Khan mentioning his glorious deeds, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Hui Khan, that's true."
Kublai Khan nodded slightly and said: "As a soldier with ambitions, if you want to succeed, you must first have a stage where you can express yourself freely. Meng Shuai back then could give you this on a local scale." Now I will also give you the stage, and the biggest difference is that I can give you this stage in all aspects and provide all kinds of support, but whether you can succeed in the end depends on you,"
