Chapter 685 Former comrades in arms, the army comes to help
However, it is said that the general manager Xiaotang is now responsible for the progress of resettling refugees in Tongtian County and establishing new brigades. So far, Luo Jian and Wang Jin, who are mainly responsible for selecting and training the new army, have selected 2,500 refugees from Hedong.
The men were organized into five battalions, and Hu Yanzhuo was called on. Generals familiar with military affairs under Guan Sheng were called on to assist in the drill.
According to the military system of the Song Dynasty, three people make up a small team, and nine people make up a squadron. Together with the escort officer, team leader, deputy team leader, left and right flags and other officers, they will form a large team. The battle will be supervised by the school officer, and the two teams will be combined into one.
One hundred people form a capital, under the command of the capital official; above the capital, there are five hundred people forming a battalion, with camp commanders, deputy commanders, camp Yuhou and other military officials dispatched, and then there are five battalions of 2,500 people.
As an army, as for the army commander and the generals of the military capital Yuhou, they have also been temporarily appointed according to the plans of Luo Jian, the martial arts scholar.
The imperial court now authorized the selection and training of the new army from Xiaotang to Hedong. As a rule, a group of ten armies could be formed, with a maximum strength of about 25,000 troops. However, in the ordinary Song Dynasty army, a group may not be based on
The full-man establishment, coupled with the usual despicable practices of weak military commanders in various places, embezzlement of empty pay, and other despicable practices, many troops with a military-level establishment cannot even reach the number of 10,000, and the number of usable soldiers...
.I’m afraid it’s even rarer.
Xiao Tang decided to add a new powerful force on Hedong Road. Of course, he did not intend to raise a group of useless soldiers who wasted the country's money and food, and he would not take this opportunity to enrich his own pockets like many idiots who abuse officials. Since he relies on Zhao Ji, he will be treated badly.
It was the advantage of trusting the favor, and being able to get the imperial court as his temporary backing. Xiao Tang really planned to establish the new army that was about to be formed in Hedong with full personnel. According to the different division of labor and functions, he would create several capable troops among them.
Part of fighting a tough battle.
After all, the banditry has not stopped. Under the guidance of the dispatched officers and soldiers, more refugees and civilians suffering from banditry in various parts of Hedong will gradually come to the areas around Tongdan County to temporarily settle down. This new army that Xiao Tang intends to reorganize is still
While continuing to recruit troops, Xiao Tang was entrusted with military power to suppress Hedong and select and train new troops, but he did not have the right to promote his own confidants privately. Even if he could temporarily command this army, if he wanted to appoint Hua
Rong, Niu Gao and other brothers serve as commanders, and military positions such as deputy commanders must report to the Privy Council. Now they are only temporary dispatches. After all, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty released his military power over wine, and his emperor brother Zhao Guangyi
Furthermore, the Song Dynasty emphasized literature and suppressed martial arts. This is also not an empty talk.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tang couldn't help but secretly thought: After all, it is better to act in the green forest. If you want to become a warlord these days, you must build up several usable armies as soon as possible. I am the co-master of the green forest and mountains.
You must keep doing it.
In addition, the number of Yongjianhe hatchbacks recruited in Hedong reached tens of thousands of troops. As a rule, this army was treated like the "Japanese Army", "Xianmeng Army", "Ningshuo Army" and other official army units.
As for the name of the serial number, Xiao Tang already has some ideas in his mind.
"Xiao Jieshuai, the official has already registered and sorted out the refugees that Tongtan has taken in according to Xie's plan. According to the layout of the surrounding villages inside and outside the county, several areas have been divided to resettle the people. Village sheds are located in the county and city.
Towns and villages are dotted around, and there are military patrols every day, and government officials maintain public security and order, and so far, there has been no trouble."
In the county government office, Luo Jian reported to Xiao Tang the progress of the resettlement of the refugees. He immediately said: "It is also thanks to Li County Lieutenant's efforts to help. According to the different positions of the refugees, the officials and civil servants in the government office
They also found tooth shops in the county and found people looking for jobs, so that some of the refugees were temporarily engaged in industry and commerce as domestic workers, or were hired as tenants, which could be regarded as relieving their worries. Although many other villagers only wanted to quell the banditry.
Returning to their homeland, there are also many people who have never found a job and can rely on the help of large households nearby to ensure their food and clothing are not in short supply, so there is no need to worry about civil unrest and riots during these days."
Although the term "Ya Xing" was mostly used in the Ming Dynasty, and was called "Sao" and "Shao" in the Han Dynasty, in the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, in addition to titles such as "broker" and "Xinglao", it also began to be called "Ya", "Yalang" and "Ya", so Luojian
It is also customary to call Dao Yahang. During the Song Dynasty, commercial and economic activities were frequent. Yahang, which held the government-issued tooth certificates, not only contacted buyers and sellers to introduce transactions, assessed the quality of goods, provided warehousing, etc., but also provided services for various shops and businesses.
Recommended to introduce employment and other industries.
Although whether it is official teeth or private teeth, people's moral character is uneven, because they rely on their mouths to eat and make money. In ancient times, there was also a saying that car and boat shops, feet and teeth should be killed even if they are not guilty. However, due to the high development of the Song Dynasty, people with small
The participation of small self-employed businesses, mainly merchants and hawkers, has been unprecedentedly frequent, and this has also given rise to many part-time people who make profits by soliciting business and recommending hired workers (just like Wang Po who helps Ximen Qing seduce married women in "Water Margin").
, he obviously makes a living by running a tea shop, but he once said that he not only works as a matchmaker to match up men and women, but also works as a nanny to earn a living.) Although the character of the nanny, whether full-time or part-time, is different, but usually
What they most needed to do was follow the eyes of the government officials. Now that Xiao Tang had insufficient civil servants, Luo Jian thought of using those Ya people to resettle the refugees through the local county government. This arrangement was considered reasonable.
"This is good, it can teach the people to live in peace, and this matter cannot be neglected at all. Due to the inaction of the government in the past, many villagers had no choice but to surrender to Tian Hu and become thieves. As long as there is a way to survive,
Who is willing to follow those thieves to kill people and set fires? As long as the hearts of the people in Hedong stabilize, Tian Hu’s escape route will be cut off."
Xiao Tang nodded and then asked Wang Jin: "Commander Wang Jin, is the training of the five battalion warriors recruited now going smoothly?"
Wang Jin also nodded and said to Xiao Tang: "Shuai Xiao is really insightful! Most of the military warriors recruited by Yi Xun were from farmers and tenants, and almost all of them were dark, stout, solid-skinned and honest people from the countryside.
, I first warned the new recruits to be strict in discipline when they join the army. Now I teach them to recognize the orders of flags, flags, golden drums, and strictly order them to obey the general's orders when hundreds of thousands of people line up to advance, retreat, attack and defend, and must not violate them. These villagers recruited from the refugees
Most of the brave family members have been resettled, and I have repeatedly issued military orders issued by the commander-in-chief. Compared with the ordinary military wing troops, these rural warriors are indeed easier to command."
In fact, according to the military law of the Song Dynasty: anyone who enters the formation first without the order of the general and leaves the formation will be killed; if the rebels are far away from the formation and fire their bows and crossbows indiscriminately, they will be beheaded; when they hear the drums and the drums are heard and the bows and crossbows are fired but do not fire, or even if they fire but the arrows are not fired,
It does not mean that if everyone shoots three arrows, but oneself shoots two arrows, and so on, and those who abandon the remaining arrows will be beheaded; soldiers in the school who pretend to be sick before the battle will be executed; in border towns, those who pretend to be exempted from the rules will be hanged before the battle or in the area of thieves
, those who often raise their voices unless they deserve the rumors... The laws are not unscrupulous, but nowadays most of the armies of the Song Dynasty are in ruins, and there are very few soldiers who can truly carry out the orders and prohibitions.
As a general of the Song Dynasty, Xiao Tang could not tamper with the long-established military laws of the Song Dynasty. However, not only for the new army now commanded by Wang Jin, but also for the officers and soldiers under the command of Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng, Xiao Tang
They also emphasized one sentence to them: All the wars in Hedong to conquer Tian Hu, regardless of any military order, were all serious.
However, Xiao Tang told Wang Jin a few new military rules he had established, such as what punishment should be given to those who make noise during drills, those who have low performance in drill assessments, those who incite homesickness, and those who stand in the front line when fighting with thieves and beheaded.
What kind of generous rewards and pensions should be added to the heads of thieves and those who died in battle. While everyone was discussing carefully, a military officer suddenly came to the county office to report that fifteen thousand troops and horses had come to the rescue under the military order of the Privy Council.
The three armies of Wang Huan, Han Cunbao and other military veterans have already left Gyeonggi and passed through Longde Prefecture. It is estimated that they will arrive in Tongtian County in two days.
