The arrival of Li Jingren, Cheng Chuliang and Fang Yiai pushed the teacher's joy to a peak. Everyone happily joked with each other and talked about what happened after they parted. Although they were not very familiar with each other, they felt more cordial because of the bond of Qin Huaidao.
The atmosphere is harmonious.
Li Derjian asked people to go to the restaurant to order a table of food and drinks. Everyone drank in the hall and continued talking about their own affairs. Then they listened to Qin Huaidao repeat the story of attacking the Japanese country, bombing Li's house, and shocking Li Er. Everyone's blood boiled with excitement.
, hooked up.
After having enough wine and food, everyone sat around drinking tea, and the atmosphere gradually stabilized.
After chatting for a while, Qin Huaidao was ready to get down to business. He looked around and sat upright.
Everyone felt the change in Qin Huaidao and knew that business was coming. They also sat upright and stopped joking.
Having fought side by side countless times, we have already developed a tacit understanding with each other. Qin Huaidao did not mince words and said bluntly: "Brothers, thank you in advance for risking your own life to help me save people."
Everyone should be polite. Qin Huaidao raised his hand to signal that everyone should swallow their words and prick up their ears. Qin Huaidao continued: "We are all brothers who have lived together through life and death. Let's not talk nonsense. The news of saving people cannot be leaked, otherwise
It will bring trouble to He'er, so I plan to take over the Qiemo Kingdom and make it our territory."
"Capture the Qiemo Kingdom?"
Everyone took a breath. They thought they knew Qin Huaidao well, but at this moment they found that they still didn't know enough about Qin Huaidao. They underestimated Qin Huaidao's methods. Their eyes gradually brightened. If they really won, how would their own benefits be reduced?
Everyone's breathing became rapid, and they looked at Qin Huaidao without blinking or disturbing him.
Qin Huaidao had a clear view of everyone's expressions, and it would be easy to handle if they did not object, and continued: "Qiemo is between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty. Once we win, we will have our own sphere of influence. When the time is right, we can continue to the west and expand the scope.
, but one thing must be stated in advance. It cannot be independent from the Tang Dynasty. It will be a vassal state at most. It will listen to the tune but not the propaganda. You and I are both Tang people, descendants of Yan and Huang. There must be no internal divisions. The nation must be unified."
Everyone nodded, they were all ambitious, but not ambitious.
After observing for a moment, Qin Huaidao saw that no one objected, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If someone really took the opportunity to make a trick to establish a country, would he kill him or not? Just don't object.
After setting this general tone, many things will be easier to handle. Qin Huaidao spread out the map and continued: "The Begging Department and the Jinyan Department have been captured. Tonight, Luo Tong will lead people to attack the Catalog Department. There is a 70% to 80% certainty, but the map
Chi Xian, who is closest to the Lu Department, may support us, so we cannot allow them to send troops."
"This is simple, brothers bring people up to intimidate them. There is no need to fight, just a confrontation to ensure that none of them dare to move." Cheng Yaojin suggested while looking at the map.
"No, what I want is to capture Chixian at the same time tonight." Qin Huaidao was not interested in making small fuss, and time was running out. He had to rush to Qiemo City to save people as soon as possible.
"Watch it tonight?" Everyone was a little shocked, but did not object and began to think deeply.
"How many people are there in the Chixian tribe?" Li Derjian was a good strategist and asked the key.
"There are about three thousand soldiers capable of fighting."
"With proper planning, there will be no problem." When Li Derjian heard that there were only 3,000 people, he immediately laughed.
Qin Huaidao wanted to take the exam and asked, "Tell me what you think?"
"The Turks are good at cavalry warfare. They only need to divide their troops into three groups to attack in the middle of the night. We are better at close combat. We can definitely do it if one fights two. Brothers now have about 1,500 people in hand, and there are still more
All the fierce generals need to do is go straight to the Yazhang, suppress the two wings on both sides, and attack and charge fiercely. If you can kill half of them, the remaining half will definitely run away. It will not be difficult to capture them, but it will be a little difficult to annihilate them all."
"It doesn't matter, let them run away. Xue Rengui and the others will only come after the news spreads." Qin Huaidao said nonchalantly. As long as Tulu and Chi got it first, four of the seven tribes would be captured, and there was no need to worry about the remaining three.
"Then let's do it." Cheng Yaojin smiled excitedly when he saw that there was going to be a fight.
Qin Huaidao also felt that a sneak attack was feasible. There were so many powerful generals around him. If he attacked forcefully, he would be absolutely unstoppable. It would not be difficult to win. So he said: "Kill one third of the target, and accept the surrender after shocking the target. If you attack the last city, you can't."
If we don’t have troops, we will have to have troops if we want to defend this territory in the future.”
Everyone understood it as soon as they heard it and nodded in agreement.
"Everyone, this is a big war, and there are no rules. From now on, we will act according to the military laws of the Tang Army. Everyone understands it, so I won't say more, but let's talk about appointments." Qin Huaidao raised another topic.
Everyone's attention was focused again and their eyes were shining.
The appointment was related to his own future interests and his status in Qin Huaidao's mind, so he did not dare to be careless. Qin Huaidao also knew everyone's thoughts and knew that he could not favor anyone and did something chilling, so he was well prepared.
His wise eyes swept over the crowd, and Qin Huaidao continued: "Some time ago, I discussed with Luo Tong, Li Yixie, and Luo Ying and changed the military system. The troops you lead must also be changed."
"The military system?"
Everyone was shocked and looked at each other. How could the military system be modified casually?
Li Derjian was good at planning, knew the art of war, and was more sensitive to changes in the military system. He asked curiously: "How to change it?"
Qin Huaidao then detailed the four levels of permanent camps, regiments, divisions and corps above the army. Everyone knows that the Tang army and above are deputy lieutenant, school captain, general, ranger general, Dingyuan general, Zhonglang general and Xuanwei general.
, General Zhongwu, etc. are all temporarily appointed. The soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers.
This military system of temporarily appointing generals has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the generals do not have enough control over the army and do not dare to rebel and act recklessly. The disadvantage is that the generals do not have enough control over the army and cannot exert their full combat effectiveness.
The permanent rank of fourth-level officers means that the general has absolute control over the army, which is a taboo in the heart of the emperor.
Normally, who would hand over the control of the army to others? The emperor had to get a tiger charm. Everyone was not stupid, so they naturally understood the reason and felt Qin Huaidao's trust, and everyone was moved.
"Is there any objection?" Qin Huaidao confirmed.
Everyone shook their heads. If you can control the army, whoever opposes it is a fool.
Qin Huaidao continued: "Since no one objects, let's talk about the division of labor, Li Derjian."
"Here!" Li Derjian didn't expect to be the first to order his life, so he quickly agreed.
"You stay with me as chief of staff."
Everyone who joined the army knew who the chief of staff was? Everyone was a little confused.
Li Derjian was also a little confused and didn't understand what he was doing. If it was similar to joining the army, it meant that he had no authority, and he felt a little disappointed for no reason.
Qin Huaidao noticed Li Derjian's disappointment and explained: "I plan to set up a staff department, which will be responsible for advising military aircraft and planning operations. It will have the Scouting Department, the Staff Department, the Medical Department, the Transport Department, and the Military Merit Department, and will be drawn from the people brought by you.
The most elite scouts formed the Scout Division, and more than twenty literate people were transferred to the Staff Division to be responsible for paperwork and other matters. The Medical Division was responsible for management and treating the wounded, the Baggage Division was responsible for logistics and baggage management, dispatch, etc., and the Military Merits Division was responsible for military merit statistics.
Verification, pension payment, etc., the chief of staff is the highest officer of the staff department. From now on, every army regiment and above must be equipped with a staff department, which is under the jurisdiction of the chief of staff. The chief of staff determines the operational plan before it can be implemented."
Everyone has never heard of this setting and is a little confused.
Li Derjian, however, made it clear at once that there was no authority at all. It was clearly a matter of reuse. The staff department was in charge of combat plans. This setting was tailor-made. It also had jurisdiction over the Scouting Department, the Staff Department, the Medical Department, the Transport Department and the Military Merit Department.
Almost all the important responsibilities among generals are shouldered by him.
What kind of trust and trust is this?
At this moment, Li Derjian's eyes were moist and moved.
Cheng Yaojin was straight-tempered and asked: "Brother Qin, it looks good to set up a general staff, but one thing I don't know is how to direct the war in the future?"
"That's right, we are all rough and don't know much about it, so don't make mistakes in the future." Fang Yiai also said.
There is a process for getting familiar with Xianxian affairs. Qin Huaidao said with a smile: "To put it simply, the staff department formulates a battle plan and determines how to fight. Before formulating the plan, everyone can also give opinions to the staff department. Once the plan is formulated and goes to the battlefield, everything remains the same.
The commander-in-chief of the army has the final say."
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned.
Cheng Chumo confirmed: "The staff has the final say before the battle, and the general has the final say after the battle begins? What if there is a conflict?"
"The battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is impossible to consider everything in advance. The combat plan is only for the general's reference, and is not absolutely implemented. Once the battle begins, it must be relied on the general's on-the-spot performance."
"That's no problem." Everyone laughed and said, as long as they still have the right to command and are not puppets who follow orders, it will be easier. It is better to have more than one person providing combat ideas, and they can save some worry.
Qin Huaidao saw that the opinions were unanimous and no one objected. Even if the restructuring was finalized, whether it would be successful or not would depend on the subsequent implementation. He continued: "Now let's talk about everyone's appointments."
Everyone cheered up again and pricked up their ears.
"Everyone starts from the head of the regiment, and the troops come from prisoners, including Turks and slaves captured by the Turks from the Tang Dynasty's grass-grazing valleys. With more than 200 people brought by each as a team, the officer system is set up, and then the officer system is established.
Captured slaves and Turkic prisoners were paired together to check and balance each other, making management easier. In the future, rewards and promotions would be based on military merit."
"Follow the order." Everyone accepted the order in a loud voice. They are all group leaders and have the same starting line. There is no favoritism. It is fair and reasonable. As for the pulling force, everyone depends on their ability.
