Chapter 97 Military Reform

"The young master has solved the aftercare and the problems of the exiles. The third thing is the military affairs proposed by General Pang and General Huang. Yang Fu took a look at Pound and seemed to admire Pound, the general who climbed out of the cavalry camp and could take care of the soldiers so clearly.

"General Pang has clearly reported the matter of the barracks, mainly the problem of prisoners of war, the problem of recruitment, the problem of staffing, and the problem of his horse. I heard that the young master has solved it before?" Yang Fu didn't go to the test horseshoe before, so he asked tentatively. After getting everyone's affirmation and worship, Yang Fu continued to say, "Each of the three issues of military affairs is implicated, and I hope the young master can decide."

"Let's talk about it in detail. It's not that simple to think about the military affairs that can give Yishan a headache." Ma Chao said, and everyone was also listening attentively, while Pound, Brother Chou and Ma Dai were even more focused.

"In Fufeng County, there were originally only 10,000 county soldiers. However, after the lord entered the county, he led 30,000 iron horses. The establishment of county soldiers is very different from that of Xiliang Iron Horses. The leaders of the soldiers, and even the soldiers do not know generals and generals. It is imperative to reform the establishment and integrate the soldiers and horses of Fufeng County into an army, which is one of them.

After Yang Fu finished speaking, he took a sip of tea and saw that everyone was listening to him carefully, so he continued to say, "Second, the young master went deep into the hinterland of the Qiang people and defeated Li Kancheng silver thieves. It is good to say that he received a lot of money. Except for rewarding his subordinates, all of them were confis. However, there are more than 20,000 prisoners of war, and many of them are young and strong. Nowadays, raising them alone is really a drag for Fufeng County. This matter should also be solved as soon as possible, otherwise it will lead to a mutiny, which will be a tribous problem. Third, after Fufeng County experienced two major battles, there are only more than 20,000 soldiers left. In order to deter foreigners and thieves in the county, recruitment is imminent.

"These three items are closely related and move the whole body with one hair. Therefore, I dare not make a decision without authorization, but I hope the young master can refer to some ideas. After saying these three questions, Yang Fu seems to have his own views on military affairs.

"Oh? Yishan is not polite, just say it bluntly. Ma Chao should support and encourage his subordinates who have their own ideas and suggestions. After all, three cobblers and Zhuge Liang, brainstorming is the king of solving problems.

"I think that if those prisoners are incorporated into the camp, it will not only reduce the cost of recruitment, but also those thieves or Qiang people are all people who have been to the battlefield, and their military literacy should be better than new recruits. However, there is still no solution to the problem of loyalty and practice. Perhaps, this can be solved in the establishment reform. Yang Fu pondered for a moment and told the people his immature idea.

Ma Chao and everyone are in the process of thinking, and it can be said that Yang Fu's suggestion is very acceptable. Meng Da, in particular, is struggling to find a way. It seems that Ma Chao must absorb those thieves into the barracks: you know, you still have to ask for money from him to recruit troops!

After a little effort, Jia Fox was the first to say: "Yishan's words are reasonable, * use soldiers, love it like a cunning child, respect it like a strict teacher, and use it like soil mustard; in Fufeng County, there is a division between Xiliang and county soldiers. If you recruit troops again, you will form a man who fight against the Xiliang army and the county soldiers. Even if the young master has * talents, the region of the source of soldiers has determined the confrontation between the two. And if you choose a strong man from the prisoners to be in the army, there will be no difference between Xiliang and Fufeng County, only the Ma family army.

Ma Chao nodded, especially Pound, Brother Chou and Ma Dai, which were even more touched: if it was to command Xiliang Iron Horse, these three people used it like arms, but if they commanded the county soldiers, these three people were deeply laborious. Nothing else, just because the county soldiers are different from those of the Xiliang Army, and these three are outsiders, the county soldiers will have some opinions on this. In the last battle of defending the city, if it hadn't been for Ma Teng personally, I'm afraid that those county soldiers would not have commanded well.

"Zidu, what is the establishment of the Han Military Brigade? Can you explain it in detail?" Since there is no way out, Ma Chao wants to know the situation first.

And Meng Da used to be the leader of this county soldier, and he was more familiar with the establishment of the Dahan county soldiers, and now he explains it.

It turns out that the establishment of the Han military brigade is roughly level 6 of department, Qu, Tun, team, Shi, Wu. Wu has jurisdiction, with a total of five people, with a total of 10 people, with a commander; the team has jurisdiction over five, with a total of 50 people, with a total of 50 people, with a head; under the jurisdiction of two teams, with a total of 100 people, with a total of 100 generals, with a total of 100 generals; Qu has jurisdiction over five villages, with a total of five, with a total of a total of 1,000 people, with a thousand people under the jurisdiction overlords;

However, nowadays, the organization in various places is not too strict, and some fiefdoms do not follow the Han Dynasty at all, and often do not have curved lengths and direct teeth. Some simply abolished the club, allowing 100 people to lead five teams with a total of 250 people and four teams of 200 people. The top is directly called Yamen, the military Sima, the captain and so on. What they are not in charge is not called a department, or sometimes called a part. The number of soldiers is 500, up to 1,000. Above is the battalion managed by the lieutenant. Naturally, the battalion is the army managed by the general. The battalion has at least 1,000 people and the army is at least 2,000.

Listeningly, except for Jia Xu, Yang Fu and Zhang Ji, who seem to understand, Pang De, Brother Chou and Ma Dai all seem to be stupid, and Ma Chao is also confused. He only feels that this is a mess?

And this is not to mention. When Ma Chao asked Pound that his father made the Xiliang iron horse, he felt that there were birds on his head and fish under his buttocks, and he couldn't wait to kill those military idiots Ma Teng.

It turns out that Ma Teng used to be a mobile army, and his subordinates were often less. And Ma Teng did not have a too orthodox military system in his mind, so he set up a hundred people and set up a centurion, then a colonel, and then a partial general. As for how many generals there are, according to Pang De, some of them are disabled, leaving only a few hundred people; while some people are mixed with logistical weight and accompanying prisoners. There are more than 5,000 people...

According to Ma Chao's understanding, if it hadn't been for Xiliang's brave iron riding style and only advancing and not retreating, I'm afraid it would have been over long ago. And it's not all good to dare to fight. For example, the bloody fact is that Ma Chao was in the hinterland of the grassland. Obviously, there were only 5,000 people under his command, but he still couldn't do it in terms of mobility. They had to wait until they were all fighting, and those people could hear their voices shouting before they knew how to retreat...

Thinking of this, Ma Chao was dripping blood in his heart and secretly vowed to reform the system and no longer let the blood of the warriors die worthless and unjustly.

"Brother, although uncle gave the elder brother 5,000 private soldiers, the uncle did not say that all the military power would be handed over to the elder brother. Do you want to discuss this matter with your uncle first? If this leads to the loss of father and son, is there some gains and losses? Ma Dai is still young and originally planned to listen more and talk less, but now it is only appropriate for him to remind Ma Chao of such a ** topic.

And Ma Chao was also shocked when he heard this: although his father decentralized everything, if he didn't make it beautiful, it would be no less than an overhead Ma Teng, and he had to be cautious.

Ma Dai had some eyesight at a young age. Ma Chao squintly saw Jia Fox's 'teaching' eyes looking at Ma Dai: If Jia Fox did not collude with Ma Dai to make a wink, Ma Chao would not believe it!

However, Jia Xu's behavior is also very right. After all, this is a family matter. Their staff can advise and come up with ideas, but they can't force Ma Chao to decide. After all, everyone came to Ma's house for a short time. Even if Jia Xu came first, and Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and Ma Yunlu's identities, it's not easy to say too clearly. Only Ma Dai, who is his younger brother and is young, is the most appropriate to say this and interrupt everyone's imagination.

From this, Ma Chao pretended to cough. When everyone looked at him, he said, "This matter is not a small matter. I will make a decision after I discuss it with my father. Let's stay here today and discuss it tomorrow.

"No!" The crowd turned over and retreated and filed out.

"Hmm... Wait, who, that Jia Fox, you stay!"
