Chapter 469: The army is downsized and the navy is involved
After all, they are immigrants from two big families. Unless they are like those Dongyi families who escaped on Dongyi Xiping Road, they are fleeing for their lives. What should be abandoned, no matter whether you want to abandon it or not, you can only abandon it. This ensures the speed.
.
Under normal circumstances, naturally it does not mean that if you say you want to move out today, you will be able to take action tomorrow!
However, within a few days, Shangguan Xuan and Wei Heng had already taken the initiative to petition the imperial court for their remains, retiring from their posts as generals marching around Yanbei, and requesting the imperial court to select another capable person to serve.
Imperial court?
Where did Da Cang come from the imperial court at this time?
Huangfu Mingzhao's court is gone!
The consequence was that the three kings fought fiercely in Henan Province to fight for the legitimacy!
The imperial court of Huangfu Mingze is still there, but it makes no difference whether the imperial court exists or not!
Although this court still exists in name, in fact it doesn’t even have an emperor!
At that time, Wang Chang was so ruthless that Huangfu Mingze didn't even have any seeds left!
In the current Huangfu Mingze court, a new emperor has not yet been established, and the generals of Zhenguo and Zhendong, Wang Yu, are temporarily in charge of the government!
Therefore, Shangguan Xuan and Wei Heng were reporting to the imperial court in name, but in fact they were asking Wang Yu for instructions! Therefore, Wang Yu repeatedly tried to persuade the imperial court to leave these two pillars of the country, but they were unable to do so.
The marching general has decided to leave, and Wang Yu can't defeat these two elders!
The two marching generals on the left and right all resigned at once, and it was difficult to find a suitable candidate to take over. Therefore, Wang Yu took the position of Yanbei marching general with Guo Ziyi, the oldest general in the army.
In the entire Yanbei, Guo Ziyi's qualifications are certainly young. But among the government troops, Guo Ziyi is indeed the oldest one.
Moreover, in the Battle of Dongyi, this man indeed made great contributions.
Guo Ziyi took at least 60% of the credit for the destruction of Jin Wuwei, a legendary Dongyi army.
If you want to choose the position of marching general among the government army, Guo Ziyi is indeed the best choice. At least among the government army, no one can tell whether he is wrong or not.
Regarding such a result, although many people outside the government army were also eyeing this position, when they saw that Guo Ziyi had climbed to this position, they could only choose to temporarily cease their activities.
Until now, how many people still can't see that Guo Ziyi is actually Wang Yu?
It's just that they are not sure whether Wang Yu arranged for Guo Ziyi to join the army early in the morning, or whether Guo Ziyi only joined Wang Yu after the Battle of Dongyi!
However, no matter which of the two situations it is, there is no need for them to show up early when Wang Yu first takes office! What if they become one of the three things that make a new official take office?
Aren't you just looking for trouble for yourself for no reason?
After all, Guo Ziyi is only temporarily acting as the marching general. Since it is just a temporary word, then they still have a chance. It depends on the situation and wait for the opportunity. There is no need for them to shoot the bird in their head!
However, before everyone could recover from this incident, Wang Yu made another big move!
The government army was downsized, from the original establishment of 100,000 to 80,000.
Although the establishment was reduced by 20,000, it did not require them to cut down their troops. After all, after the Dongyi War, various tribes in Yanbei also suffered casualties. After the government troops reduced their establishment by 20,000, they just did not need to continue to replenish them.
For Yanbei now, it is actually a very weak period. After all, after the Dongyi War, Yanbei has a huge gap in troops and horses that need to be reorganized and restored.
Not to mention the part of the strength gap that the Zhentong Army originally lost in this battle, the largest part of the strength gap is actually still among the Dongyi, the one hundred thousand who were reorganized into the Zhentong Army of the Kwantung Army.
Force gap.
No matter how good Yanbei's reserve system is, under the circumstances that the government army has just been established a few years ago, if you want to restore the entire Zhendong Army's strength of 300,000 and restore it to its due combat strength, it still requires
For quite some time.
At this time, reducing the establishment of the government army was, in a sense, so that the Zhendong Army could recover faster.
Moreover, the reason why Wang Yu wanted to reduce the establishment of the government army was also to free up this part of the establishment to increase the establishment of the navy. After discussing all night with a group of advisers, Wang Yu finally decided to increase the establishment of the navy to 30,000.
to a naval establishment of 50,000.
With Gan Ning as chief, Ling Gan and Li Gen as deputy, he recruited troops in the coastal areas of Yanbei, recruited a full share of 20,000, and then incorporated them into Yanbei Navy. Obviously, Wang Yu also had the idea of taking action against the navy.
.
Gan Ning's attributes are not bad either, with 90 in command, 98 in force, 62 in intelligence, 51 in politics, and 86 in charisma. For a commander who has just reached super first-rate attributes, it may be difficult for him to lead an army of a certain size in combat, but if it is a small-scale army
When it comes to charging and attacking, Gan Ning can do it with ease.
If he didn't have certain flaws in his character, it might not be impossible to truly stand alone and entrust him with important responsibilities to a certain extent.
However, there are really no suitable naval talents under Lao Wang at present. After all, whether it is Ling Gan, the inspirational king of monsters appearing in Journey to the West, or Li Gen, the patrolling Yaksha in Conferred Gods, these two are obviously
Not a leading talent.
Even within the system, navy, this talent is definitely a very small proportion among water generals.
In fact, in the system's database, there are quite a few generals born in the West who have the talent for water warfare, but among the Eastern generals, there are only a handful of generals with the talent for water warfare in each era.
It is caused by the cultural differences between the two sides.
There are historical reasons why Da Cang only maintains a naval establishment of 30,000 in Yanbei.
The Yanbei Navy has only one enemy and that is Dongyi. As for the Kingdom of the Sun, the exchanges between the two sides are very few and are not included in the consideration.
Besides, Da Cang's real naval force is the one hundred thousand Donghai Marines of the East China Sea. It's a pity that Tianshi Dao broke out in the East China Sea, and at the beginning of the uprising, seven or eighty-eight warships of the East China Sea Navy were burned down.
.The Donghai Navy that came ashore did not use any of their advantages at all, and were extinguished in the wave of people.
Because Da Cang did not have the possibility of engulfing Dongyi, the previous Yanbei Navy only needed to be able to protect itself, not to attack.
Previously, Wang Yu mobilized three Dao and almost tried his best to win only one Xiping Dao. This was when Dongyi was torn apart. If it were normal, Da Cang would have had a fight with Dongyi.
Seriously, how much power does it take?
But Dongyi is not the only enemy in Da Cang. How could it be possible to invest so many troops in them?
Furthermore, Yanbei has Dongyi in the east and Beidi in the north. The strength of the horse and infantry must be guaranteed to be within a certain range. If the navy is expanded on a large scale, the power of Zhendong will inevitably expand, which will bring about a series of chain consequences.
reaction.
Therefore, the previous Yanbei Navy could only have a maximum naval establishment of 30,000.
But if it is Da Cang, Yanbei Navy can only use it on Dongyi, who is also Yanbei Navy's only enemy. But Wang Yu is in charge, and Yanbei Navy also has the historical mission of pacifying Da Cang.
