Chapter 1008 group training
"Chongdao," General Xu stroked his beard and asked, "Even if the strong crossbow, leather helmet, paper armor, and long spear can be supplied by the weapons room of the Xuanfu Division, but if the military prefectures along the riverside were not many militia baojia available! There might be some a few years ago, but since the imperial court implemented the government system, the Baojia in Hebei has been in name only. Now, where should we go to find so many militia baojia?"
In fact, Baojia, Hebei, is useless. Even the imperial guards are useless. Can you still count on Baojia?
The reason why Baojia in Hebei is completely useless is that in Wu Haogu’s view, there are only two reasons: one is that he does not pay; the other is that he has no weapons.
It is useless for the imperial guards to give so much money, but can those who don’t give money still be useful? Thanks to Wang Anshi, a famous reformer, who actually had this naive idea and created more than 6 million baojia men on the books, but in the end, it was useless except for causing a lot of civil unrest.
In addition to not giving money, it is also a reason not to give good weapons. The imperial guards are wearing heavy armor and equipped with divine arm bows, but they may not have much combat power. Baojia's weapons are all "civilian"-level, with soft bows, short spears, wooden shields, dull swords, and paper armor being extremely rare. One of them can only have five lords, and if there are too many, they will be punished, and if there are serious, they will be hanged... What does this mean? Do you regard Baojia as a cannon fodder soldier who doesn't want money? I think the people are not enlightened if they have never read a book? It's a damn thing to rely on such Baojia to be useful.
"It is not difficult to recruit rural soldiers." Wuhao Ancient Road, "It only needs to let the local gentry and people understand that the militia in this rural soldiers defend their hometown and will not go out to fight. Moreover, the government will also exempt labor and righteousness, pay less taxes, provide food and clothing, and provide weapons and officers."
If someone wants to work hard, he should always give some benefits! And if you want to fight a dog, you have to have a fire stick! Can you not give it to the Khitans, military crossbows, long spears, paper armor, and leather helmets? This is a must!
Wu Haogu paused and said, "And the organization of township militias must take local prestigious local officials as the leaders, and then use the same ethnic group, fellow townsman and classmates as the links in order to truly organize the township militias."
This is not the village army, but the Hunan Army training! It is the way for the Hunan Army, which is famous in history and suppressed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to practice courage.
In Wu Haogu's view, to organize truly useful militias, the only way to copy the regiment training in the late Qing Dynasty.
First of all, we have to pay money! If the Hunan Army and the Huai Army did not have military pay, any famous minister would be useless. Of course, the Song Dynasty's imperial guards gave too much money, and the militia could not follow this standard, give less, and then exempt from labor service and a little tax. Someone should have come.
Secondly, we need to give weapons. If the enemy has it, you must have it. If the enemy does not have it, you must find a way to get it.
Again, of course, I have to rely on the bureaucratic landlord class. Wu Haogu himself is also a member of the bureaucratic landlord class (he also has land). He does not cause peasant uprisings, does not rely on gentry and powerful people, but can he rely on poor and lower-middle peasants?
Moreover, Confucianism is a blood relative of teachers and students, the same clan, the same hometown, and a classmate, which is a ready-made organization. Oh, in fact, the Khitans and Wanyan Ganda are also the same way. The Khitans are either Yelu or Xiao, and they are all their own people! On the Jurchen side, isn’t the Wanyan tribe a big clan? Father and son fight, and brothers are fighting!
Even though Wu Haogu’s empirical school does not emphasize clans particularly, the same set of teachers and students is also very particular.
This is the social organization method of Confucian civilization!
"Xu Xianggong, Liang Xueshen, Ye Xueshen, Wang Shuaisi," Wu Hao Gudao, "The four are all leaders of the Shilin and elders in the officialdom. If they are willing to come forward to invite the local officials and powerful leaders of the military prefectures along the border, they believe they will definitely get the corresponding ones.
In addition, Grand Secretary Han, who retired from Xiangzhou, has a higher reputation in Hebei. It is better to have four younger generations and brother Yi come forward and ask him to come out and lead a Hebei delegation training ambassador. This will definitely be a response!"
Grand Secretary Han who retired to Xiangzhou is Wu Haowen's father-in-law Han Zhongyan. The old man is 71 years old and sick. He is in Xiangzhou for retirement. It is impossible to go out to do things, but there is no problem with the reputation of a delegation ambassador.
With the leadership of the Han family in Xiangzhou, there should be many famous families and powerful people in Hebei. It is possible to raise the group training of more than 100,000 or 200,000.
Wu Haogu could also take the opportunity to organize the training of Cangzhou. Cangzhou was a sparsely populated poor place with no famous families in the past. Later, a large number of knights were placed, which was completely a place where Wu Haogu could control.
So of course, the Wu family army will be the training team in Cangzhou!
"So how many village soldiers are needed for the military prefectures along the border?" Wang Anshi's nephew Wang Ying asked four questions that were most concerned about to appease. "In addition, how should the new army of the 18 generals in Hebei be deployed?"
"The rural soldiers of the border states should be under the jurisdiction of the Fuzun Road." Wuhao Ancient Road, "Then we will allocate according to the Fuzun Road. The rural corps training on Zhendingfu Road, Dingzhou Road, and Gaoyangguan Road is limited to 40,000 people. There is only one state in Cangzhou along the coast, and the number of group trainers is limited to 20,000. Damingfu Road is not along the border, but Damingfu City is not a small matter, and tens of thousands of group trains are still needed. In this way, a total of 170,000 group trains are required!
As for the new army of the 18 generals in Hebei, four generals were arranged each of Zhendingfu Road, Dingzhou Road and Gaoyangguan Road, and the defense of the coastal road was directly under the jurisdiction of Xuanfu Department, and two generals were arranged to defend the army.
There are also two generals, infantry and two generals, horse soldiers to support each other, and they are also under the jurisdiction of Xuanfu Department."
When the 18 Generals' new army had 90,000 combat soldiers, and the number of auxiliary soldiers was about 60,000, that is, 150,000. With the addition of 170,000 regiment training, the total land force of the fifth route of Hebei can reach 320,000!
There are enough people in terms of number. However, the number of people alone is not enough in war, and quality and command are also essential.
Wuhao Ancient Road: "Five-way regiment training plus the new army of 18 generals, if the auxiliary soldiers are included, the total number is more than 300,000. The seven states, three armies and one government along the border have to build cities, forts and villages to reserve military rations and military supplies... This is a big mess! Without a military metropolitan area, it is probably not easy to manage, right? So, should Zhendingfu Road, Dingzhou Road, and Gaoyangguan Road also set up a general military computer room like the coastal road?"
Now only the General Military Computer Room on the Coastal Road of Hebei Road has set up a general military computer room, and it has formed a superior and subordinate relationship with the General Military Computer Room of Hebei Xuanfu Department.
In other words, Wu Haogu can use the military system to issue orders to achieve various armed forces under the jurisdiction of the coastal route.
However, on Zhendingfu Road, Dingzhou Road, Gaoyangguan Road, the military system does not exist. Wu Haogu, the Xuanfu, could not bypass the three-way appeasement envoy, and the generals issued orders to each general, and even the actual situation of each general was unknown.
Of course, none of the twelve generals arranged on Zhendingfu Road, Dingzhou Road, and Gaoyangguan Road were controlled by Wu Haogu's Yuntai Army officers, and no one would obey his orders if they were conveyed.
However, there is a military order system that can allow Wu Haogu to grasp the real battlefield and military situation. Otherwise, he, the general of Xuan, would know his enemy but not himself, and would be fooled to death by those old foxes.
"The general army computer room is of course necessary." Ye Zuqia from Gaoyang Pass Road held his beard and said expressionlessly, "But Jiyi is the official of Shuaisi, and as usual, Shuaisi has recruited it himself!"
He was right, military opportunities are also opportunities, and General Yan had the right to recruit such officials. Even if it was a military opportunity, he had to follow this principle. The military opportunities of the Hebei Xuanfu Office of Wu Haogu were recruited by him on his own. The military opportunities of the Hailu Commander were recruited by Wu Haogu using the opportunity to recruit the sea route.
As for the military opportunities of the Northwest Xuanfu Department, Shuofang Supervisor, and Hexi Supervisor (Da Jiaohua Regiment), although it was recommended by Wu Haogu, the power of requisition was still in the hands of Gao Qiu, Tong Guan and Zhang Zheng.
Only the third yamen and fourth army of Kaifeng Prefecture and the general office of the model new army were formed by the Dujun Massacre Department.
"Military Ye said very well." Wu Haogu smiled, "Jiyi is indeed a lieutenant... So how about the Xuanfu Department recommending a deputy general army aircraft to you? The following generals and regiment training departments also have a deputy general army aircraft recommended by the Xuanfu Department.
The Xuanfu Department will not interfere in the affairs of all armies, but with these deputy military aircraft, we can know the situation at the forefront as soon as possible."
While speaking, he winked Ji Yi. This is his bottom line. If even the deputy military aircraft cannot be installed, the Xuanfu Department will be short-selling, and even Ji Yi, who is a transshipment officer, will find it difficult to grasp the first-hand military information from all walks of life.
"I think it's OK," Ji Yi smiled, "Why send me a military plane too... I, the Hebei Transport Author, have the power to inspect the generals and officials, should I know the military affairs ahead?"
"That's natural." Wu Haogu answered quickly.
There is no way for Ji Yi to intervene in military affairs! This is how the military command of the Song Dynasty was like this. There were many political branches and multiple management. No one knew who the commander was when fighting?
Anyway, in Hebei, Wu Haogu doesn't think he can command the four appeasers below, nor does he think that Ji Yi is his "Logistics Minister".
Seeing Ji Yi, the God of Wealth in Hebei, supported Wu Haogu, Xu Jiang, Liang Zimei, Ye Zuqia and Wang Qi, it was hard to refuse anymore.
However, they would not hand over the military power, at most they would let Wu Haogu's eyes and ears penetrate it.
The four appeasers would not give up the power of military orders, and Ji Yi, the transferee, would certainly not hand over the power of building cities, equipment, food and salary that he had.
