Chapter 393 The Supreme Military Conference of the Suppression Army
Zhili Governor's Yamen.
Although the name is still on the sign at the door, in fact everyone prefers to call this place the headquarters of the Suppression Army. After all, the name of the Suppression Army is the biggest nowadays.
Before leaving, Gao Shaoyi held a military meeting, and some generals from the northern grasslands also came back. After all, he had to give everyone a good explanation.
The situation in the north is now calm, and our people have begun to slowly encroach on the entire grassland. When Gao Shaoyi was on the grassland, our area here was only 40%, and now it has expanded to 70%. .
According to the so-called occupation policy of the Suppression Army, it does not mean that you have occupied the area if you declare it. A large number of military stations must be set up in the area, plus the assistance of the security group system. After these two items are completed, you Only then can we truly occupy this area.
Of course, this actual occupation policy is more time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it can be regarded as solving the problem on the grassland once and for all. It turns out that the Daqian Empire also declared sovereignty over this place, but it is basically a matter of name. When the Daqian Empire is powerful, At that time, the tribes on the grassland indeed expressed their submission.
Every year, they would faithfully pay tribute and go to the capital to pay tribute regularly. However, when the national power of the Daqian Empire declined, the troops on the grassland began to have second thoughts. At this time, the Daqian Empire would spend a lot of money. Go to conquer and finally obtain the surrender of the grassland.
Gao Shaoyi would never allow such a thing to happen again, so he did not order the troops to retreat, but allowed them to stay on the grassland and radiate to the surroundings from the original occupation center, and then actually occupied the entire Xiongnu grassland.
The current policy towards them is to seek stability, not to provoke mutiny on the grasslands, and to strictly guard against the Rakshasa army defending the north.
"Is the prince of the Rakshasa Empire here?"
Gao Shaoyi remembered this incident. This time it was Gao Shaoyi's cousin Wen Zheng who came from the north for the meeting.
"Returning to the country, sir, according to the information we received, the Rakshasa Empire's crown prince arrived at their eastern capital seven days ago. However, because the follow-up troops have not yet been mobilized, he did not make any provocative moves towards us."
Wen Zheng said very respectfully that his title should be higher than that of the county king and Gao Shaoyi, but within the Suppression Army, everything must be in accordance with the rules of the Suppression Army. As for other things, Some positions are not counted at all. This is also a tradition of the Suppression Army.
"After we go back, we need to send more troops to keep an eye on them. These people are very cunning people. We will not actively look for trouble. But if they cross the border, we will fight back hard. However, the scale of the battle Have a little control."
It's not that Gao Shaoyi is timid now, but that he can't expand the scale of the war. The warehouses on the grassland are full, but if Gao Shaoyi goes south, it will be difficult to take care of him for a while, so don't do it at this time. It's too much, but you must never give in. People are bullying you right to the door, and not fighting back is not our style of suppressing the captives.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Guo, our two infantry regiments, one cavalry regiment and one artillery regiment are stationed near the border, ready for battle at any time, and hundreds of scouts are dispatched every day to conduct non-stop patrols in the border areas. We will never There are no loopholes."
After capturing some tribes on the grassland, we have enough personnel. While they are training new recruits, they are also conducting continuous patrols in the border areas. Compared with our people, they are more familiar with the border.
The terrain of the area is greatly improved, so the patrol efficiency is greatly increased, otherwise the thousands of miles of border would be too difficult for us.
"Don't let everything in the border areas fall on us. We must provide ideological education to these Huns and let them know what the people of the Rakshasa Kingdom will do on the grasslands. As long as they still care about their own heads, then they should
The border line must be more tense than ours. Once any cross-border behavior is discovered, we must report it to our people immediately.”
Gao Shaoyi also gave instructions on this matter. It is probably impossible to rely only on the strength of one of our infantry divisions for a border line that is thousands of miles long. Therefore, all the cavalry on the grassland must be mobilized. They have grown up since childhood.
Growing up on horseback, the conditions in the border areas were extremely poor, but for these native cavalry, all difficulties were not a problem.
"I understand that our military department's first phase investment in the entire grassland has been put in place, with a total of 12.5 million silver coins, mainly used for building military depots and roads. The second phase investment of 8 million silver coins, mainly
For the construction of permanent settlements, please ask the Duke to allocate funds on a regular basis."
In addition to reporting on work this time, Wen Zheng also came here to ask for money, and the money was not a small amount. Gao Shaoyi had already formulated a long-term plan for the Xiongnu grassland, and planned to make a total of five batches of investment in the Xiongnu grassland.
The second batch is in progress.
"Lao Fang, this money should be fine, right?"
Gao Shaoyi turned to Fang Hanye from the logistics department. After all, he was in charge of everything.
"My father-in-law, the funds have arrived at the Gao's Bank branch in Xuanning. As long as we pass all the inspection items for the first batch of investments, the second batch of investment funds can be released immediately."
Fang Hanye said seriously, although it is some internal fund mobilization of our Suppression Army, it must follow a strict approval process. Round after round of investment has been carried out in various places, but each round has some iconic
If the construction is all completed, we will make a second round of investment. If it is not completed, the logistics department will jointly conduct an investigation with the supervision department to see where you spent the money.
Gao Shaoyi was satisfied with this answer and immediately looked at Zhou Zhipeng of Daliao Province to see what they were up to.
Although the Governor of Daliao is Gao Shaoyi's father-in-law, this meeting is an internal meeting of the Suppression Army, so the Governor of Daliao is not qualified to participate. In fact, everyone knows that except for civil affairs, the Governor of Daliao is responsible for everything else.
Zhou Zhipeng was still in charge of the matter, and the entire military affairs of Daliao Province were in Zhou Zhipeng's hands.
The main discussion at this meeting was about the Daliao Province, which was also the issue of their northward march.
"How are your preparations going? After the southern campaign begins, you must use Daliao Province as your base and advance on the three northern routes..." This chapter has been completed!
