Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1080

The army is the lifeline, and Shao Shude is well aware of this.

On the fourteenth night of the first lunar month, he held a banquet in honor of the officials and assistants of the Privy Council of the North and South Yamen in the Shangyang Palace, which was newly built years ago.

"For so many years, Da Lang has worked hard, diligently, and made great contributions, but his reputation has not been revealed. I feel guilty. Come, drink this cup to the full, and I will live up to your Zhu family in the future." Shao Shude picked up the wine bottle and said.

"Your Highness, why do you need to do this?" Zhu Shuzong was a little moved, and took a drink from the wine bowl.

Do you regret it?Maybe a little.

Good man, who doesn't want to leap across the battlefield with a gun?
At any rate, the Zhu family in Taiyuan is also a family of generals and schoolmen. It has been passed down for six generations. They are all masters in martial arts, military art, and army management. They are fully qualified to lead an army alone and fight north and south.

But people in the world have counted the generals in Kansai, but only mentioned Li Tangbin, Gao Renhou, Lu Huaizhong, Zhe Siyu, Yang Yue, etc., and even Yang Liang, Li Renjun, Cai Songyang, Guan Kairun, Zang Dubao, Zhang Yanqiu, Ye Liyulue, etc. , Wuzang Jieming and others mentioned it a lot, but few people mentioned Zhu Shuzong.

The king still understands me!

"It should be." Shao Shude poured another bowl of wine for him, and said: "Those who don't know soldiers, stare at the military envoys, command envoys, and envoys, and talk about it. When I lead the army, the first thing is to be in the rear Take good care of the coaches and military envoys. Even if the iron army and the strong army are rampant in the world, as long as they go into battle, they will suffer losses. Even if they don’t go into battle, they will also suffer losses. Without good coaches, in my words, it is A one-time army cannot afford a long-term campaign."

Provide, transport and distribute logistics materials for military envoys.

Coaches provide qualified supplementary soldiers.

Every year in the army, old men who are old enough to retire from the army will make the army's establishment incomplete.

During daily training, there will also be personnel losses, and sometimes an epidemic will cause a large number of staff reductions.

After going into battle, countless people died.

Even the iron army, which has been victorious in all battles, cannot avoid such losses.If there is no effective coach to make the system work hard to adjust, train new recruits, and send them to the army, the Iron Army will fight less and less, become weaker and weaker, and become a one-time army, which will disappear when it is exhausted.

Zhu Shuzong drank it down again.

Shao Shude also drank it down, and said with a smile: "The marriage of the children's generation can't be delayed any longer. When Chengjie returns from Sichuan, let Jinniang marry my son. She will be the crown princess in the future, and she will When the queen is born, the Zhu family will be rich and have no worries."

When Zhu Shuzong heard this, he suddenly felt that the hard work in the past was not in vain, and said: "Tomorrow, I will go to the Privy Council to sort out the files of the Ling, Shan, and Yun courts."

"Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, so give me a day off." Shao Shude said.

Everyone laughed.

Lao Zhu's appearance actually understands everything.What are you working so hard for?Isn't it for wealth?The old Zhu's family is enviable. If the grandson is not good enough, he will become the emperor. This is the solid foundation for the family's prosperity. After all, the emperor who can kill his grandfather and uncle is always a minority.

"From now on, the coach of the capital will abolish the yamen, and the training of recruits will belong to the Privy Council of Nanya. The Weizhou Court will be set up separately. The Shanxi and Yun courts will be under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council of Nanya Privy Council, and the Ling and Wei courts will be under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council. Privy envoys are under the jurisdiction. The number of recruits does not increase, and the colleges are training recruits. First count and deploy them slowly. From now on, no one college can have more than [-] soldiers." Shao Shude said.

The two privy envoys of Nanya were Zhe Zongben and Zhu Shuzong.Before Zhezong arrived, Zhu Shuzong was present and immediately agreed.

Among the four major recruit training institutions, Shanzhou Academy will mainly recruit recruits from Dongdu, Hezhong, Heyang, Shanguo, and Tonghua; Yunzhou Academy will mainly recruit recruits from Bian, Xu, Yun, Yan, Qing and other towns. There may be some soldiers from Hebei; the Lingzhou Academy is mainly composed of soldiers from Guanbei and Hexi; the Weizhou Academy will mainly recruit recruits from Longyou.

It can be seen that Shao Shude is still very inclined to his Kansai basics.

Especially the Weizhou courtyard that was added, explained everything.

There are more than ten prefectures in Longyou, where the Han and Han are mixed, and the people are brave and brave.After recruiting those people, they will be controlled by military law. After several years, they will become good soldiers, and then they will be dispersed into various armies as supplementary soldiers, continuously providing nourishment for Shao Shude's war machine.

"The Nanya Privy Council will also arrest the management and expedition of the various ministries of the Imperial Army. They must be formalized in the future, and everything can no longer be as simple as it is now." Shao Shude said again.

He has prestige and is not afraid.To put it bluntly, even if there were no rules and no system, the army would not be in chaos.

But he has to think about his son, and it needs to be formalized and institutionalized-of course, the son must first have prestige, otherwise the strict system will be in vain.

"There are currently seven infantry armies of Tielin, Wuwei, Tianxiong, Yicong, Tujiang, Tiande, and Jinglue, and seven cavalry armies of Feilong, Heizhu, Jindao, Iron Cavalry, Silver Spear, Dingnan, and Feixiong. About 30 paces. From now on, all the towns will be released from Yuhousi and Xiawangfu, and will be under the jurisdiction of the Nanya Privy Council. Garrison, training, transfer, logistics, military pay, etc. will be fully taken over." Shao Shude held the wine bottle, Looking at Hu Zhen, Zhu Shuzong, Zhang Changyuan and others, he said: "I will pay for you, don't let me down."

"Follow Your Highness's orders." Everyone responded.

According to the system, the Nanya Privy Council will have two privy envoys, four privy envoys, and a total of six officials with real power. At present, there are only Zhe Zongben, Zhu Shuzong, Yang Yue, and Hu Zhen, and two are still owed.

They all know a little about the rules, daily management is fine, the mobilization of the army, the expedition, requires the emperor to issue an edict, the privy secretary reads the decree in public, and the six privy envoys and deputy privy envoys sign and seal together, and the order can take effect. How can this be done?
The emperor's imperial decree can be ignored, just listen to King Xia's order, but there are not enough staff.Is it enough for two people to sign?I am afraid that someone else will take up the post, who will it be?
Shao Shude didn't say anything, but turned to the members of the Privy Council of the Beiya, held up the wine bottle, and said, "The Forbidden Army of the Nanya is the pillar of the country, and the Fan soldiers of the Beiya must not be neglected. The two divisions of Hengshan, the six tribes of inspectors, Yulin, Woyang, The subordinates of Hongyuan, Xianyou Sigong, and the Helong tribes have hundreds of thousands of young adults. From now on, the Northern Protectorate of Zhenbei will be abolished, and the management and performance of the Tibetan tribe must be arrested. , don’t relax.”

"As ordered." Yang Juan and Qi Bizhang, the two privy envoys of the Northern Yamen stood up together, and Zhang Guibian, the deputy privy envoy, also stood up and responded in unison.

"Drink this cup to the brim." Shao Shude drank it all in one gulp.

"Drink this cup full." The three drank together.

Shao Shude nodded in satisfaction.

The young and strong of the Tibetan tribe helped him a lot in his great cause of conquest, and countless people were killed or injured.Moreover, there is almost no pension, and no military salary is usually paid. He has always attached great importance to cannon fodder with such a high cost performance.

Yeli, Wuzang, and Weicai are married to the Shao family and have a close relationship.Qi Bizhang's granddaughter also made a marriage contract with the second son Shao Mingyi, and married into the Shao family as the main wife.

There is also the Slave Department of the Four Palaces, which has always been generously rewarded, and it has been painstaking to give them a way to go out to become officials.

The mobilization of the northern yamen's soldiers is similar to that of the southern yamen. It needs to be ordered by the Supreme Khan, and the six privy envoys and deputy privy envoys of the northern yamen can sign and use their seals to take effect.

Whoever leads the army to leave the divided pasture in private is treason, and the imperial court immediately mobilized all the tribes, the forbidden army, and the border army that will be established in the future to suppress it.

With the military power in the northern and southern yamen in his hands, Shao Shude's position is as stable as Mount Tai, and no one can shake it.

This night was a night for him to unify his thoughts and set the rules. I don't know if it can be called a drink to release the military power. At least the power of the general of the forbidden army has been restricted a lot.

******
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Shangyuan Festival.

Early in the morning, the empress was in court again in Guanfeng Hall, held the Shuowang Grand Court Meeting, and then announced a series of personnel appointments and dismissals.

On the grounds of "born a virtuous man, Yue Jiang's heroic spirit", Wang Bian, the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Prefecture, was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council of the Nanya Privy Council.

On the grounds of "changing the customs and asking for help, and ordering to suspend the military's prestige", Zhuge Zhongfang, the Jiedu envoy of Shannan Xidao and Xingyuan Yin, was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council of the Nanya Privy Council—as for Zhuge Zhongfang's acceptance of the edict, It's hard to say, anyway, this is the last chance Shao Shude gave him.

On the grounds of "getting the name early, and being more and more responsible", Wang Yao was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council of the Beiya Privy Council.

On the grounds that "use the classics and latitudes in the opening, and control the art of taoqian", Zhe Silun was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council of the Beiya—yes, Huaixi Town is going to be dismissed, and this is also a test.

On the grounds that "the public is loyal, and the civil and military are classics", Ren Yuji, the Jiedu envoy of the Tianping Army, was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council of the Beiya Privy Council.

He also granted Du Hong the Privy Council of the Beiya Privy Council on the grounds of "far-reaching knowledge and outstanding intelligence".

The two privy councils have both their own people and united front personnel, and the main bodies are considered complete.

These positions, for the generals, actually don't like it very much, because they are more of a civilian job, rather than leading troops to fight.

When Shao Shude first proposed it, many people joked that it was a nursing home.A bunch of old men who can't fight put down their knives and guns and go to play tricks, settling accounts every day.

When the news of the candidates for the four privy envoys was released, Gao Renhou was very glad that he was not selected as the privy envoy.Of course, Lao Gao's fortune is not shallow. It is normal to look down on the privy envoy when he is fighting with the crown prince.

After the end of the court, the queen took the imperial chariot and led all the civil and military officials to Changxia Tower.

Taifu Shao Shude and Taishi Feng Yanqing, one on the left and one on the right, accompanied the queen to show their kindness.

After the empress has experienced the experience of facing the court for a while, she gradually becomes more familiar with it, and she is no longer so nervous.

In the process of moving forward, she cast her eyes on Shao Shude from time to time, feeling turbulent in her heart.

The Taifu is Mingminruida and energetic.When speaking about things, they are often to the point, which is admirable.

He has always won the spirit of the army, and he is also a good player in marching and fighting. It is no exaggeration to say that he is an outstanding man in the world.

Such a smart, wise, ruthless and long-sighted person shouldn't be contaminated by a "former" queen like himself, but he did.

The queen is worried. With such a noble status, she must be stared at by many people. What should I do?Hugged, rubbed, touched, even bitten for a while, you bastard!
The queen sighed, the mediocrity is because she still has desires.Could it be that in the bottom of my heart, there is really no desire to fantasize that the Tai Tuo will give her an explanation after the founding of the country?

There are many flags and banners, and guards of honor are like clouds.The huge team crossed the street and headed for Changxiamen.

At this moment, the emperor seemed to be forgotten by everyone.

"Sick" is very serious, it is better to be still and not to move, you should take a good rest.

This imperial court is indeed not far from being separated.
