Chapter 80 The Township Official System Begins to Mobilize
Several prefectures and counties on the Hebei front line were lost, and the commander-in-chief Yuan Zongdao was killed in battle. Unfavorable news was quickly delivered to the Jin Palace in Kaifeng one after another.
The Yellow River stretches thousands of miles from the northwest to the Central Plains, and converges to the intersection of Xuzhou and the Grand Canal. Such a long line of defense, with troops deployed everywhere, is equivalent to no troops defending everywhere. The gateway to the Central Plains has actually been opened, and Dorgon strategically
Having gained the initiative, they can choose any point to break through. This is the Qing army's greatest advantage.
The pressure came to Li Laiheng's side again.
"Should the Dianzhong Army and the Dianzuo Army move? Should they first reinforce Hebei?"
Based on the analysis of dozens of staff officers of the Military Academy, it is still not possible to confirm Dorgon's main attack direction. However, with the loss of Cizhou and Daming, especially the death of General Yuan Zongdao, the Dashun Army's
Morale has already had to bear a heavy burden, and Li Laiheng really has no choice but to sit back and watch.
Otherwise, how could the generals of the Dashun Army endure the situation where His Highness the King of Jin had hundreds of thousands of troops in the rear and stood still?
Gu Junen walked in a hurry, and he rushed into the Jianguo Mansion under the escort of the Yulin Army. Under the blow of successive bad news, even if Li Laiheng worked around the clock to deal with military affairs, as long as the two reserve teams of the Dianzhong Army and the Dianzuo Army were not mobilized, then
The Dashun Army was always tight in terms of military strength and found it difficult to respond effectively to the changes in the Hebei front.
Gu Junen, along with staff officer Cao Benrong and others, directly piled a large number of military reports from the front line in front of Li Laiheng. The other low-level filing offices of the Military Academy were divided into two rows to sort out military information for Li Laiheng on the spot.
"...The loss of his reputation was caused by this, and Yuan Zongdao's death was also caused by this."
Gu Junen reported to Li Laiheng everything that happened on the Hebei front line in particularly concise and concise sentences. It is obvious that Gu Junen was inconsiderate of Yuan Zongdi's sudden illness, Liu Tichun was inconsiderate, and of course Yuan Zongdao could be praised.
It can be considered an irresponsible death, and everyone is very dissatisfied, even to the point of indignation.
Gu Junen slapped the book on the table and did not restrain his arrogant temper at all in front of King Jin:
"Yuan Zongdi suddenly fell ill? It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. In a war that affects the ownership of the world, how can he ignore the front line and fight just because he fell ill? Your Highness, after all, the right army of your highness is Tian Jianxiu's best friend. Such an action is simply ridiculous.
They are tearing down the stage of His Majesty and His Highness!"
None of the other staff officers around seemed to have heard Gu Junen's extremely outrageous words. Everyone just stared at the books and documents in front of them without any distraction.
Li Laiheng also immediately became serious and said with a livid face:
"Gu Jun'en, I will forgive you for your arrogant words because of your suffering in the conquest. But if you go outside the palace to spread such lies, do you think that you, the prime minister of Gu's vassal government, can enjoy immunity?"
The privilege of dying?
What will be the consequences if these words spread? You don’t understand!”
Li Laiheng waved his sleeves and became a little angry at Gu Junen's arrogance regardless of the actual situation. Of course, Li Laiheng was a little dissatisfied with Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun, and Yuan Zongdao's mishandling, but after Gu Junen's behavior
After speaking, he immediately realized that the Dianyou Army was one of Tian Jianxiu's old troops. No matter what the actual situation was, the Dianyou Army was still fighting fiercely on the river. How could Gu Junen be allowed to make such remarks?
Li Laiheng sat back, thought for a moment and then said: "Instruct the Longyi Guards to control the public opinion in the army, and also send out the Kendeji to publicize the hard work of the Dianyou Army in Hebei. Regarding the abandonment of the famous name,
, we must emphasize the initiative and necessity of abandoning the defense.”
Li Laiheng continued: "For the generals who defended the city, for their hard work in the battle, the military government decided to reward them, and the decree was immediately delivered without any mistakes. The officers and soldiers who died, especially Yuan Zongdao, should be given double titles and be honored with double honors.
, the five armies of Dashun are integrated, and there cannot be a single discordant note."
Li Laiheng thought about this for a while, but still felt that the method was not perfect enough. He looked at Gu Junen, still feeling a little sullen in his heart. Unexpectedly, Gu Junen took out the various commendation edicts that had been prepared and prepared to order people to copy them.
Li Laiheng couldn't help but cursed: "Then what are you talking about?!"
Gu Junen sat down and said calmly: "It's just to relieve His Highness's anger. Since I have criticized the generals of the Right Army for His Highness, Your Highness will naturally stop blaming him, and he will not lose his temper and destroy people's hearts."
Li Laiheng clicked his tongue and said coldly: "Gu Dui Dian Youjun already regards him as a direct descendant of Yuan Cong, how can he say anything?"
The staff officers all lowered their heads, and the Supervisor's Mansion was filled with the sound of turning pages of books and military reports. Gu Junen had already made a plan before arriving. After he calmed down Li Laiheng's anger, he immediately asked the staff officers to prepare the re-planned Hebei defense line.
The troop mobilization situation was submitted one by one.
After Li Laiheng saw it, he was quite satisfied with the re-planning of the Military Academy. After Cizhou and Daiming were voluntarily abandoned by the Shun Army, Hebei's defense line shrank somewhat, and the tight situation of the Shun Army's troops improved slightly.
But just as the generals along the border are complaining now, as long as the 100,000 elite troops in Kaifeng remain stationary, the tight troop situation on the front line cannot be fundamentally improved.
However, Gu Junen still proposed some ways to achieve partial improvement:
"After the Battle of Yuezhou, Zhang Kuang, the governor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, was captured. There is no risk of the Huguang War re-igniting for at least a few months. Chen Jinglue has organized the militia in various states and counties and is stepping up the deployment of troops and generals to replace some of the local guards with standing militia.
The army defended the city, and speeded up the transfer of the second-line local guards from Huguang to Henan.
In Henan Province, after the reorganization in the last three months of the first year of Yongchang, although the militia system was still very small and could not improve the war situation, most of the local bandit armed forces, such as Li Jiyu and others, had been fully integrated into the local guards.
After the new second-line guards in Huguang arrive in Henan, they can rotate with the guards in southern and western Henan who were adapted from the native bandits. In this way, in ten days, in addition to the central army and the left army, they can be mobilized from the central army and the left army.
Henan, southern Shanxi and southwestern Shandong mobilized at least 30,000 to 40,000 first-line guardsmen with strong field capabilities to rush to support the front line."
The current local system in Dashun is based on the camp system as the basic system, the militia system as the pillar, and the rural judicial inspectors as the context. Such a system that draws on local resources to the greatest extent, in the event of an all-out war,
Finally it was running at full speed.
From the south bank of Dongting Lake to the valley between the Taihang Mountains and the Yellow River, at the turn of the first year of Yongchang and the first year of Guangzhong, Huguang's new laws were finally gradually promoted and implemented, and they were demonstrating their power.
The Military Government, the Industrial Government, the Military Academy, the Yingtian Academy, and many other related agencies. Most of the bureaucrats responsible for administrative work came from Huguang, Suizhou, Anlu, Huang'an, and Macheng in the past few years.
He graduated from the township official school.
Some of these rural officials are veterans who have received preliminary literacy education in the army, and some are a group of Jianghu people whom Li Laiheng tried his best to collect in the early days when Chuchuang's administrative resources were severely limited. Many of them are wandering doctors and fortune tellers.
The doctor.
In addition to this, the rest of the rural officials mainly come from a group of down-and-out literati from the lower class. They are either old boys who cannot obtain fame, or some frustrated scholars who have been excluded from the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty due to various institutional reasons. These people
After receiving "re-education" in the township official school, he formed another pillar of Dashun's grassroots system.
Of course, with the successive victories of the Dashun army, and before the battle of Huolu, when the territory of Dashun reached its peak, many gentry who sat on the fence and sized up the situation also participated in the rural official system of Dashun.
