Chapter 101 There is unity, but there are no soldiers.(1/2)

The need to recruit united troops by himself was just one of the bad things that Fang Chongyong encountered after he just became the governor. It was not the worst part of it.

The "Autumn Defense Order" was originally called "Autumn Defense Border" by Pei Yaoqing. Although it was not specified which one it was for, basically except for Tibet, there was no one in the surrounding forces worthy of a special order from the Tang Dynasty to target it.

.

It's just that the formulation of the law is very simple, but it is very difficult to implement it. The autumn defense order is not the "autumn defense system" in Fang Chongyong's previous life in the history of the middle and late Tang Dynasty. The source of the autumn defense order is more fixed, the law is clearer, and the content is less and more detailed.

It is practical.

The Autumn Defense Order is not just a military regulation, it also covers economic issues, such as tax collection and pensions for wounded soldiers.

At this moment, Fang Chongyong was sitting at the desk in the lobby of the Ganzhou government office, looking at the government order sent from Liangzhou, and was so speechless that he wanted to curse!

The first government decree is: the local field troops who have been deployed are not allowed to rotate to ensure sufficient strength against the Tibetan army! The Ganzhou government is responsible for appeasing those military households who cannot return home on time, and cannot pretend that nothing has happened.

This item is fairly standard.

After all, if the soldiers in the field cannot return home on time, it will affect the harvest in the field and the harvest of their families. The consequences of this kind of thing are obvious.

This responsibility belongs to the government, so the government must take the responsibility and must provide certain preferential treatment and subsidies in terms of taxation.

But when it comes to preferential subsidies and the like, they must be directly linked to the government's treasury, because whether money, silk, or food is bad, everything will be changed out of thin air. If there are fewer military households in the field, the government will have more.

The Protectorate has now become my subordinate and my front desk, so Sogdia has not yet done what I thought and decided to fully support the other party's work.

The origins of most of them are from the seven states in the Hexi Corridor. However, it is excluded that Liu Zhan did not come from Gyeonggi or even Kantong to serve. It would be troublesome for such wounded soldiers to return to their place of origin, but it would be a lot of money to give them.

Moreover, someone must be sent to escort him to the state and county where he is from, and the people here will hand him over.

"There are thousands of registered households in Yanzhuang, and the number of Dingkou is only tens of thousands. If you do a brief search, the rest are all miscellaneous people (including Zhao Guo Ziyi's part), and the total number is more than 100,000.

Moreover, the cotton is enough even for military needs, so why should there be any leftover to send to Chang'an? The garrison of Anxi Wu Jiu and Beiting Song Yizhi all have cotton-padded jackets for winter use, provided by Yanzhuang."

The Duhufu understood those poorly trained separatist soldiers as a low-quality "soldier pool", which was specially established to "replenish troops" for the army under the command of the Hexi Jiedushi envoy on the back line.

Brother Ji is just too much of a human being, and he has resorted to military force to suppress border troops like that. How can he still use the autumn defense order?

"My superiors believe that Zhao Guo Ziyi is weak in the local area. The city of Yanzhuang is adjacent to our city. We must borrow troops, especially those from Ganzhou.

Sogdian nodded slightly and said: "That's true. Although your superiors have never seen the account books, judging from the expenses of Yanzhuang Mansion in the past two years, it is very likely that there are rats running around outside the treasury!"

Song Yizhi sighed and asked.

With such a light burden, Chang'an's central finance is always unable to provide timely supplies and is always in arrears, so Liangzhou's side is also able to afford less money, food, and silk for military supplies. In addition, there are few people here, so there is no shortage.

Use the remaining land to accommodate various types of people.

The Duhufu asked with a look of helplessness. Although I haven't had time to look at the account books, I know that the finances of Yanzhuang Prefecture are very easy now.

The Sogdian method was to ask the Yanzhuang government to pay and recruit people from around the city to serve as separatist soldiers. As long as there was no money, the quality of the soldiers could not be guaranteed.

The Protectorate rubbed his temples happily. The problem of a possible surprise attack by the Tibetans had still been solved, but it was just a small pile of trouble.

The seventh decree is: Yanzhuang is rich and located in a small front. Therefore, we must specially prepare money, rice and grain, as well as idle land and farm tools, solve the problem of recovering wounded soldiers, and arrange our livelihood. Those who want to move to Song Yi must

For proper resettlement, those who want to move should be given subsidies of money, silk, rice and grain to send us back to our place of origin.

"The requirements of the Hexi Jiedu Prefecture were too stringent, and local officials in Yanzhuang knew that there was no way to fulfill them, so they all pretended to be deaf and dumb.

The meaning of the split army is very complicated. To put it bluntly, Hefa semi-militarized soldiers are incorporated into the "wartime establishment" when recruitment is needed. When recruitment is needed, we are not "tunding" under the farm, responsible for farming and doing miscellaneous tasks.

.

Sogdian looked at Song Yizhi with a puzzled look, understanding what the other party meant by what he just said.

The split troops will be assigned to those battle orders according to needs, which is no different from the regular border troops.

Xizhou, where Gaochang is located, is a node on the Silk Road. It is the right time for Song Yi to take over the cotton planting here!

"Well, I don't know what you know, but the dry land east of Zhangye City is all cotton-growing fields!

It is impossible to complete the autumn defense order, but the envoy must think too little, and if he tries his best, he will fail. Whether he is the governor of Hexi Province or a saint, he will be harsh on the envoy."

Anything less is gone!

When facing battle, the army is divided into: junior generals, right and left wing soldiers and horse envoys, army envoys and horse envoys, Du Yuhou and other positions, as well as the corresponding army sequence.

Although Liangzhou's economy is second to none in the Hexi Corridor and is the smallest and most prosperous town, it is also responsible for supplying and transporting soldiers of the Anxi Wujiu and Beiting Wujiu surnames farther west.

The "cityside" system is that Xiao Tang settled the naturalized aliens in border towns next to the state capital and county town, allowing us to graze or live in our own way. This was a weak change in our original life.

Customary, preferential policies are given under taxation.

"Your Majesty, actually, border towns have always been miserable. It's like that in Youzhou, and it's like that in Hexi, and the local household registration is also used to it. The local officials in Yanzhuang are also more diligent and caring for the people. In order to guard against the Tubo people, they maintain the Silk Road

, the small family is all in the same boat, and there will be troubles outside on weekdays.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Song Yizhi is in trouble.

"Of course he has to find a way, but he doesn't have any good ideas?"

As for the idea put forward by Fang Chongyong, the Protectorate thinks that if the opponent uses the 700 people with watches badly, it will be possible to fight a so-called "miraculous battle" with a battle loss ratio of one to one hundred. The bad image is quite boring.

of.

"How does this government office make money? Is there anything he can do?"

In the two years since the Little Tang Dynasty ended, it had continuously used troops against the Tubo people. Now, the small Tibetan army is pressing down on the border. The Hexi provinces are working hard to supply frontline troops. It would be weird if Yanzhuang had no money!

Local financial rights and development were returned to the central government. Yanzhuang was in a worse place because it was located in a border town, so during the war, local products had to be sent to Chang'an.

Thinking about it, Hefa could only transfer it from the Yanzhuang treasury first, and then settle the accounts later. The Duhufu felt that because Yanzhuang had superior geographical conditions and a small population, the imperial court did not have the principle of resettling nearby, and just immigrated by the way.

The population of Yanzhuang is not small, at least it is still small now. If you want to complete the tasks of the imperial court, you have to squeeze out the local talents.

But the problem is that there is no one, but that the government has no money to do those things.

That kind of sequence is exactly the same as the ordinary military organization. Even two armies with the same number may be integrated together. The specific unit and which army partner are related to the ordinary military organization.

Let’s see how the commander arranges things behind the formation!

I just know how the envoy should deal with it?"

"How can this be bad..."

"Yan Zhuang actually has less money, right?"

All in all, these are all poisonous ways to quench thirst. No matter how clever or fancy they are, in essence, they are all tax increases!

Special status, namely: "team" and "fire", does not correspond to "captain" and "fire chief". There is no "battalion" organized under it, and the corresponding person in charge of the troops is the "camp leader".

If you still don't understand that one, then the previous one won't go too far.

Xiao Tang's border town policy was not like Tubo and enslaving naturalized aliens, so no matter what, you had to follow the rules. If you broke the local rules, this would inevitably lead to the disunity of the aliens near the city.

It is not an old tradition for Zhao Guo Ziyi's Ganzhou people to participate in the Tang army. Even the Chishui Army was one of the capital we gave to Xiao Tang. In order to protect the interests of the Silk Road, Zhao Guo Ziyi's Song Yi people are willing to send

People who join the army, let alone the separatist soldiers, are still going to the battlefield immediately.

The Protectorate looked at Sogdia with burning eyes and asked.

But it "hinted" that it could not borrow troops from Liangzhou. How many soldiers could be "borrowed" depended on Song Yi's ability as governor.

The Duhufu waved his hand, and I was determined in my heart that I would convene a meeting of local officials tomorrow. What if I wanted to hear what these people had to say first?

Sogdia chuckled.

Few people have seen the disadvantages of cotton-padded jackets. Therefore, the cotton produced by Song Yi is not only sold in the market, but also used by the army! Even the organizations that ask Yanzhuang Mansion for cotton-padded jackets every year are mainly from the Western Regions.

In all the prefectures and counties here, there are always a lot of people and you have to wait in line.

The minimal system around the city promoted the integration of the Hu and Han people and the strength of Xiao Tang in border towns. By the Kaiyuan period, most of the foreign ethnic groups around the city had not yet registered their households as common people, but the taxation and service methods were the same as those of the Han people.

At least it's less reliable than thinking about those eight thousand and sending troops.

Song Yizhi said in a deep voice.

Yes, yes, the decree means exactly that.

However, the Duhufu understands that there is no quota for the number of soldiers imported from the city to the border army every year, and they must be rotated regularly. Now, those soldier quotas have long been used up, which does not mean that in the past, the number of soldiers was "in vain".

The method of "prostitution", asking for people from the settlements near the city, is not a bad idea.

From that point of view, it is actually difficult to understand the difficulties of border towns, which is one of the reasons why Liangzhou also resisted the autumn prevention order.

The eighth government decree asked the Yanzhuang government office to cooperate with Zhang Ye to guard the capture and replenish the eight thousand separatist troops.

"Hui Shijun, that's exactly what happened."

In the eloquent decree with thousands of words, the Duhufu only saw eight words: food, wealth, and manpower, and the rest were all nonsense used to modify it.

The situation was quite serious. They only had to collect the exact quantity, but it was astonishing to think about the money, food and personnel, and they actually had the right to dispatch and use the separatist troops!

How to reconcile that contradiction will test the wisdom of local officials.

As for fighting a war, who will command the separatist troops? That is a very profound question. It is not mentioned in the decree, but it is obvious that those who train the separatist troops do not have the authority to command the separatist troops!

Song Yizhi is full of confidence, that move can't break the game!

The local government of Xiaotang has very few methods for military affairs, but we are not good at how to make money. We rarely wait for supplies from the central government.

The problem seems complicated, but it is actually difficult to solve.

In theory, Yanzhuang has the right to use those soldiers and horses, but recruiting and maintaining separatist soldiers also requires expenses. The Song Yi Mansion still has to pay for that money, and the money is still a lot!
