Chapter 1137 There are too many loyal and brave men
Three months have passed since the autumn harvest. This year, government officials in various places are moving very quickly. The total "rental" of about 8 million hu of grain and the "tax" of more than 5 million pieces of silk felt is "rental tax", also known as "tax" - tax is actually combined, and sub-items are reflected by mediocre and adjustment.
Eight million grains are scattered in various places, but it is actually impossible to use them all.
In an era where physical taxes are the main ones, taxes are really just numbers, so enjoyment. Can the tax collected from Youzhou Dige Pavilion be used in Jiangling? impossible.
If Shuzhong is captured, the local food collected can only be used in Shuzhong, or some of it will be transported through the Yangtze River to Jingzhou. Want to use Guanzhong? Ask Zhuge Liang.
This is not the end of Qin. Liu Bang was lucky and was able to transport grain through water, which was no longer possible now.
Therefore, Shao Xun mobilized a total of about four million hu of grain stored in the palace this time, and he had tried his best to plunder it.
The wealthy families in Guanzhong, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Jingzhou, Sizhou and southern Jizhou also collected an additional five million hu of grain, and brought the merchants themselves to help with the transportation, and sent them to Chang'an, Yongxian, Nanyang and Xiangyang.
The lieutenants from various places almost showed their energy to feed themselves. A team of soldiers often commanded hundreds of young men and women to transport supplies and equipment through ships, rafts, vehicles and even various carousels.
The tribe chiefs selected children from the clan to report to various assembly points according to the amount of taxes assigned to them.
Chang'an and Nanyang have also become two large slaughtering centers.
The court used silk to buy a lot of livestock, slaughtered them in a concentrated manner, marinated them and dried them in a jerky.
Cheese, which is easy to carry and hungry, is even sent to the front line in bags and stockpiled.
Every war is a process of wealth being destroyed...
"Has Jin Zheng set out?" Shao Xun asked softly in the west wing of Tai Chi Hall.
Most of the people standing beside Shao Xun were in charge of the inner ministers, namely the Shizhong Yang Man, Liu Runzhong, Sanqi Changshi Duan Mobo and Xin Mi.
The former Sanqi Changshi Zuying passed away at the beginning of this year, and Zu Yue, Zu Huan and others went home to mourn.
Thousands of troops under Zu Yue were reorganized, and the old and weak were eliminated, and they were organized into two counties, Runan and Ruyin, and they also paid a lot of money to recruit warriors to join the Wuyuan Kingdom. Unfortunately, the results were not good, and they spent money and deceived them. In the end, only a few more than 300 people were willing to take their families north.
The rest were taken to Guanzhong by Xu Liu and temporarily returned to Jin Zheng's tent to command. They were obviously going to fight with Cheng's army among the mountains and ridges of Hanzhong. I don’t know what kind of mood Zu Yue would feel when he knew about it.
If you dare not rebel, then this is all you have to do.
"The Governor of Jin has arrived in Yong County." Yang Man replied.
Shao Xun nodded, then looked at Duan Mobo and said, "Duan Qing set out today and was appointed as the military supervisor. No mistakes should be made."
"I obey the order." Duan Mobo is not very old, but he is covered in white hair. Obviously, he has not adapted very much in the years since he arrived in the Central Plains and has not lived a very comfortable life.
The Sanqi Changshou is of a low level, but he has no specific control. It is indeed a bit uncomfortable for Duan, who has been used to giving orders in the first half of his life.
Once he loses his power, his aging speed is really amazing.
"Let Jin Zheng not be anxious." Shao Xun reminded Duan Mobo: "In the past, Mr. Ge went out of Hanzhong, and the most difficult thing was food and grass. He had to hoard enough food and grass before fighting, and don't be lucky because of the enemy because of the food. As the saying goes, I have to worry about defeat before winning. My family has a great cause and no longer need to take risks. Just fight hard."
"I obey the order." Duan Mobo responded.
Shao Xun thought about whether there were any omissions again.
Jin Zheng was the governor of the four prefectures of Yong, Qin, Liang and Yi. The battle against Cheng was his job, so he was naturally responsible for the war in one direction.
By the beginning of the winter month, the troops he mobilized included 3,600 troops each of the left Changzhi Guards and the left Feilong Guards, plus 2,400 troops from the left cavalry guards, and a total of 13,200 troops from the palace.
There are also 6,000 Heihu Zuoying, 6,000 Silver Gun Zuoying, 5,000 Chang'an soldiers, 2,000 Qinzhou soldiers, and 4,000 Zuoyue troops, totaling 23,000 people.
At the same time, more than 100,000 people from Hu and Han were recruited in the two prefectures of Yong and Qin. They were mainly responsible for logistics - of course, sometimes they also had to participate in battles, such as siege.
More than 110,000 young soldiers (including more than 10,000 soldiers in the military department) serve 36,000 soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, which seems to be a lot, but if you consider the painful terrain and the difficult supplies, you may not feel that it is enough.
Shao Xun had already ordered Shao Jin, who had arrived in Chang'an, stopped and escorted a batch of resources to Yong County outside. He stayed there permanently, and transferred food and military supplies with the assistance of the lieutenants of various branches, and gave him the title of "Yongzhou Transportation Envoy".
It is worth mentioning that starting from Hutou's "Youzhou Interview Envoy", Shao Xun began to "create" various temporary assignments.
This position with the title of "entrusted" is very set, and it is set up according to the matter, and it is dismissed as soon as possible. It has no rank and is not a member of the official position. It was established purely to make up for the shortcomings of the official system. After all, there were only more than 10,000 officials in the Jin Dynasty, and there were a few more of them in the Daliang Dynasty, but there were not much more.
Except for the Youzhou Tuqi Supervisor, the guards who were assigned to the six sons, were not withdrawn. After all, as a hub for transferring food, grass and military funds, Yong County also needs a large army to guard it. What is guarding is not the army, but the possible rebels in Kansai.
After explaining to Duan Mobo, Shao Xun looked at Xin Mi again and said, "Xin Qing can go to Jiangling and serve as the military supervisor."
"I obey the order." Xin Mi knelt on the desk and bowed after hearing this.
The military commander in the direction of Badong is undoubtedly the eldest nephew Shao Shen.
He is no longer a military officer in the six counties. He has served as the "General of the Western Expedition" and "the general of the military commander of Jingzhou, the land and other military commanders, and has the military power of the entire Jingzhou. Shao Xun also sent him a military advisor: He Lun, the former chief of the Shanyu Mansion.
Zhuo Shu Tang Jian was promoted by Rockets to serve as the governor of Jingzhou and govern Xiangyang.
During the Jin Dynasty, the governor repeatedly invaded the power of the governor, so that in the last state, the governor often surpassed the governor and had the actual military and political power of a state, but this was not the case in Cao Wei and the early Jin Dynasty.
First, because the non-war governor did not intervene in civil affairs in many cases;
Secondly, although the governor and even the prefect have no right to disobey the orders issued by the governor during the war, they have the right to report to the emperor.
For example, during the Qinglong period, Sun Wu attacked Hefei Xincheng. The governor Man Chong wanted to lead his army to rescue him. Tian Yu, the prefect of Runan, disagreed and said, "I will report to you and the emperor will follow him."
I can't disobey you, but I can let the emperor issue an order to you.
The third is the constraints of the shogunate military advisor.
In that era, military advisors were always sent by the court and had the responsibility of supervising the governor. Once the governor was unable to perform his duties, the military advisors would take over directly.
For example, when "(Yang) Hu was sick, Du Yu was appointed as the emperor, so he was appointed as the general of Pingdong and led the army to the Southern Army."
Wei Guan and Xian Yuying also had the experience of taking over the power of the governor as military advisors.
In short, strengthen the status of military advisors and serve as deputy chief of the shogunate, monitor and restrict the governor.
It’s a pity that this system of superior and inferior control was almost a decoration in the late Sima Yan. The top and bottom were in a sympathy, and the chief of the Mu resigned aide (including military advisors) who were engaged in the Central Army or above was required to be reviewed by the court, but it was completely reduced to a formality, so that the military advisor became the confidant of the chief of the Mu resignation.
Shao Zhe served as a military advisor for his mistress Pei in Kaocheng. He knew very well how powerful the military advisor was.
At that time, he was the "confidant" of the mistress. He respected the mistress during the day and was very respectful at night. He had to give him a glance at him before he dared to act rashly, and then repeatedly offend the mistress many times.
He Lun is going to supervise Shao Shen.
The troops along the way are between 50,000 and 60,000.
There are 6,000 silver spears in the camp, 6,000 Heihu Right camp, 3,600 left and right Jinwu Guards, 3,600 left and right Yulin Guards, 2,400 right cavalry guards, 3,000 hostile troops, 15,000 Hebei Town soldiers, and 10,000 Bingzhou Hu soldiers, nearly 57,000.
Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Sizhou and Jingzhou recruited 80,000 people to provide logistics services, plus the navy, and provided water transport. Due to the Yangtze River water transportation, the number of logistics personnel can be greatly reduced and the consumption can be greatly reduced.
The two armies fought a total of more than 90,000 auxiliary soldiers, which was quite large in scale. If there is no water transportation, it can greatly offset the transportation disadvantages, and I am afraid that 300,000 young people will transfer all kinds of materials.
There is no doubt that this is a "national war".
When a lion fights a rabbit, he also uses all his strength.
Shao Xun never underestimated Li Cheng, because this was a regime in the rising period, either a regime in the decline period with a long period of civil and military affairs, and a comfortable and comfortable life. He mobilized 300,000 manpower, tens of thousands of horses, and hundreds of ships, just to defeat this separatist force in one blow.
If this is not enough, he will go into battle himself.
"Finally, I want to talk about the affairs of the north." Shao Xun looked at the two attendants and said, "Liu Qing, I appointed you as the 'Appointment of North Pacification Envoy'. I will go to Pingcheng to comfort the tribes one by one, so as not to let them cause chaos. I will hand over the Luoyan Army and the Youzhou Tuqi Supervisor. Remember, you are the sanctioned envoy and have the authority to kill and kill."
"Your Majesty..." Liu Runzhong was a little surprised, and then moved.
"Gongji, what is your relationship between you and me? You know it yourself, why should you do this? If I don't believe you, who else can I trust?" Shao Xun gently patted Liu Runzhong's shoulder and said.
"Your Majesty..." Liu Runzhong wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and choked, "Your Majesty is not mean to me. I really don't know what to say about this important task."
After saying that, he paused and said, "I will write a letter back and ask the defeated sons to rectify the troops. Before the end of the winter month, no less than 30,000 cavalry will leave Yanmen. Murong Tao, this slut, I will take care of him."
"Pingcheng! Pingcheng!" Shao Xun pulled Liu Runzhong's hand again and said, "Why do you need to attack Murong? Stabilizing Dai Kingdom is a great achievement. I just want to stabilize the situation in the grassland now."
"Yes, yes, I know." Liu Runzhong nodded repeatedly.
Shao Xun looked at Yang Man again and said, "Zu Yan, you and I have known each other in Liang County for more than 20 years. Now I can be the pacifier of Youzhou and hold the throne to Beiping."
Yang Man sighed inwardly and said, "I will write a letter back now. It is not rare for Yang's elite soldiers to be found. It will be possible to travel to Peking in the twelfth lunar month to ease the tribes and not to cause chaos."
He knew that there were too few soldiers in Youzhou, and the generals of the town may not be completely trustworthy.
The Duan Xianbei and the Murong clan had fought in the past, but there were frequent exchanges between Peking and western Liaoning over the years. Do you dare to say that they must be reliable? Actually they are just fencemen.
There are ten thousand Yang Family Army guards who have fought in the war years, and they can extinguish the thoughts of some ambitious people.
After hearing this, Shao Xun smiled and said, "It's like many loyal and brave men, why worry about the world?"
