Monument Yangmen

Chapter 758 Respect!humble!
Inside Gubeikou.

The six brothers of the Yang family gathered together.

Shang Qingzi, Du Jin'e, Huyan Chijin, Dong Yuee, Geng Jinhua and others were also there.

A group of people sat together, discussing the future defense of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and the future direction of the Southern Kingdom.

It was Yang Da who led this gathering.

Yang Qi didn't take everything on his shoulders.

Yang Da sat on the left side of Yang Qi, and everyone formed a circle.

Yang Da asked Peng Pai to throw a large map on the table.

"Everyone, now that Yanyun has been decided, but this does not mean that we can rest easy from now on. Song and Liao are fighting in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun this time, and with our intervention, it is inevitable that the two countries will fight this time. Injury.

But with the strength of the Liao people and the wealth of the Song people, it is inevitable that they will fight again in the future.

In addition, the seventh brother has reached an alliance with Song and Liao, and there have been frequent business contacts after the war.

Therefore, to protect the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and to protect the stability of the people and businessmen under our rule.

We must be on the defensive and be ready to send troops at any time. "

Yang Da paused, and seeing everyone nodding in response, he pointed to the map and continued: "There is the Great Wall as a barrier between us and the Liao Kingdom, so it is easier to deploy."

Yang Daqu pointed the dots on the map, "Shanhaiguan, Juyongguan, Gubeikou, and Fuxingguan, these four places must be guarded. They are also the most important, so these four places must be heavily guarded.

After preliminary negotiations with my seventh brother, Shanhaiguan was guarded by the Xinbian Shan Navy, with Jiao Zan as the commander and Meng Liang as the deputy.

Juyongguan was guarded by the new Juyong Army, with Du Qing as the chief general and Zhong Heng as the deputy general.

Gubeikou is the most important, guarded by the Yanmen Army. From now on, the Yanmen Army will be renamed Gubei Army, with He Jing as the commander and Yang Shun as the deputy.

The Fuxing Pass is still guarded by the Fuxing Army. From now on, the original 5 people will be reduced to [-]. In addition to guarding the Fuxing Pass, they also need to protect the Zhongyi Mountain. For the time being, I will be the chief general and Di Cheng will be the deputy general.

Do you have any comments on the above arrangement? "

From Yang Da's arrangement, it is not difficult to see that both Yang Qi and Yang Da seemed to intentionally weaken the importance of the Yang family in the army.

Of course, this is not to weaken the strength of the armies, but to train newcomers.

It just happened to be able to hone the newcomers while Song and Liao were both disabled and needed to recuperate.

When the Tongtai Passed the Doujiang.

Yang Qi saw his own shortcomings.

The Yang family brothers have always held a pivotal position in the army, whenever there is a war, the Yang family brothers will definitely fight.

Doing so would certainly allow Yang Qi to send troops out with peace of mind, but if things go on like this, it will be difficult for new recruits to stand out, and all armies are headed by the Yang family.

Over time, bloodline will override strength.

This is not a good sign.

No one in the Yang family brothers can guarantee that their descendants will not have dudes, all of them are brave and good at fighting.

Therefore, in order to maintain the combat effectiveness that the army should have, it is necessary to give newcomers a certain chance to stand out.

The more the merrier.

Only in this way can the Yang family remain in Yanyun sixteen states for a long time.

Yang Da asked everyone for their opinions, except for He Jing who opened his mouth, the others didn't have any opinions.

From a lieutenant general, partial general, not even a general, to the position of chief general or lieutenant general at once, what opinions can they have?
He Jing seemed to have something to say, but he still didn't say it in the end.

Although Yang Da saw this, he didn't point it out.

After confirming the defenders of the upper four passes of the Great Wall, Yang Da said again: "Then it's settled, let's talk about the defense of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures and Da Song.

Compared with the first line of the Great Wall, this line is a bit more complicated.

Because the line of defense is too long, it is not suitable for long-term garrison defense.

So I set up this line of defense with three points.

One is on the coast, which is the junction of Dasong, Yanyun Sixteen States, and Hai.

This place is very important, not only to defend, but also to defend against someone who will make trouble in the port to be established in the future.

Therefore, after discussion with my seventh brother, I decided to set up a quiet navy here, with [-] permanent soldiers in the army, of which [-] are infantry and [-] are sailors.

After deliberation, Yang Yanzhao was appointed as the general of the static navy, Yue Sheng was appointed as the general of the infantry, and Meng Jinbang was temporarily appointed as the general of the navy.

Second, at Feihukou, the original Jin Army was renamed Feihu Army, with a permanent service of [-], with Du Jin'e as the chief general, and the deputy general is temporarily vacant.

Third, at Yanmen Pass, Yanmen Pass and Datong Mansion are divided into one place, which is garrisoned by the Datong Army, with Wang Gui as the chief general, and the deputy general is temporarily vacant.

In addition to these three places, another [-] light cavalry were set up to patrol the border between the Datong army garrison and the Jing Navy garrison.

These [-] light cavalry were temporarily under the command of the Flying Fox Army.

Do you have any comments? "

The crowd shook their heads.

Yang Da nodded and continued: "That's it. Below is the garrison in the northwest border. In the northwest border, there are two places to defend, one is Xixia Mansion and the other is Dongcheng Mansion.

The cavalry army originally stationed in Dongcheng Mansion was transferred to Xixia Mansion to guard the border, and Yang Yande was still the chief general.

The ranger army originally stationed in Xixia Mansion was transferred to Dongcheng Mansion to defend the long and narrow border line from Dongcheng Mansion to Fuxing Pass, and Shang Qingzi was still the main general.

Can you two have an opinion? "

Yang Wu and Shang Qingzi shook their heads at the same time.

Yang Da nodded and said, "Very well, the above are the defense arrangements for the four northwestern prefectures and the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun."

The defense is arranged.

Yang Da looked at Yang Er, Yang Er got up slowly, and said: "Let me talk about the deployment of soldiers and horses in the Southern Kingdom. There are three points to defend in the Southern Kingdom. The first is Mang Mountain next to the Great Song Dynasty. The second point is It is the long and narrow line of defense close to the Shiwanda Mountain in the north, and the third is the westernmost fortress.

Mangshan is still guarded by the Cangshan Army, with Yang Yanguang as the chief general and Dong Yuee as the deputy general.

The defense line of Shiwan Dashan is guarded by light cavalry, and Geng Jinhua is temporarily the chief general, and the deputy general is temporarily absent.

The Xibian Garrison Fortress is jointly guarded by the Longyou Army and the Huben Army. I will be the chief general for the time being, and the deputy will be temporarily absent. "

Yang Er finished the arrangements, and didn't ask anyone for approval.

The people he arranged were all old people who had been with him in the southern country for a long time, they knew Yang Er well, and they were all his own people, so there was no need to explain anything.

Yang Er arranged everything.

Yang Qicai stood up. He glanced around the crowd and said, "The defense of the Southern Kingdom, the four prefectures of the Northwest, and the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun has been properly arranged. Next, let me talk about the military service and the status of the soldiers and horses in each place."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Is this disarmament?
Yang Qi didn't pay attention to everyone's reaction, he said calmly: "The Southern Kingdom, the four prefectures in the Northwest, and the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun will jointly implement the same military service system. The five-year rotation system."

Everyone understands the implementation of this military service system.

Under this kind of military service system, it is impossible for the old, weak, sick and disabled to stay in the army for a long time, and the army will not weaken its combat effectiveness.

In addition, after enlisting, the soldiers in the army have the hope of disarming and returning to the field. Those who do not want to serve in the army do not have to serve as soldiers for the rest of their lives.

The main thing is that under this military service system.

It can greatly avoid the possibility of some authoritarian generals leading troops to rebel.

There is nothing to talk about about the military service system.

Except for some people who just voted for Yang Qi, most of them have already experienced this kind of military service system. As long as Yang Qi mentions it, they will think about it in their hearts.

Therefore, Yang Qi began to talk directly about the key points, "In addition to the soldiers and horses that my elder brother and second elder brother mentioned just now, the Southern Kingdom will set up two more armies, one is the navy, named the South Navy. Acting as a bridge between the Southern Kingdom and the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.

Regarding the issue of the chief and vice-admiral of the South China Sea Navy, we will discuss it later.

One is the Southern Army, with 10 soldiers on a regular basis, led by Yang Yanding, except for [-] soldiers and horses who stick to the imperial city.The remaining [-] soldiers and horses are all filled with elite soldiers and generals, responsible for foreign wars and coordinating with other garrisons for defense.

In addition, each government in the southern country has set up 1000 regular servicemen, who are under the control of the military machine pavilion of the southern country. They are responsible for defending the city wall and cleaning up the surrounding bandits on a daily basis, and they are dispatched by the yamen of each government.

The four prefectures in the Northwest and the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun also have 1000 permanent servicemen, who belong to the Chief of the Military Machine Pavilion, and their daily duties are the same as those of the southern prefectures.

In addition, there are three armies, the Zhentian Army, the Shenji Army, and the Yan Army.

The Zhentian Army has 3 regular soldiers, the Shenji Army has [-] regular soldiers, and the Yan Army has [-] regular soldiers.

The Yan Army has the same responsibilities as the Nan Guo Army. "

Yang Qi deliberately ignored the responsibilities of Zhentian Army and Shenji Army.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Qi dropped a heavy bomb, "Other than this, the rest of the armies will be abolished."

Whoa!
All of a sudden, the meeting hall in Gubeikou was in chaos.

The generals of the various armies that were about to be abolished gathered together in a mess.

The most of them are the generals Yang Qi recovered from the Sixteen States of Yanyun, as well as some generals from the Southern Kingdom.

"My lord, is the Longyou army also going to be abolished? I, the soldiers of the Longyou army, fought for the lord on the battlefield. You will die without regret. You can't treat us like this..."

"..."

"Huhou, although we are surrendered generals, in terms of ability, we are not weaker than anyone else. Why did Huhou suddenly dismiss us..."

"..."

If you are brave enough, start asking Yang Qi directly.

Yang Qi frowned and said in a cold voice: "Silence! Although the other armies will be abolished, the soldiers and horses of the new armies will still be transferred from you. Including the generals of the new armies, you will serve.

Some of you have done meritorious service for me, and some have not.

But as long as you sincerely follow Yang Yansi with me, I will not treat you badly.

The reason why the army was abolished was mainly for the convenience of management, and at the same time to prevent many people from mixing in it to make up for it.

Moreover, I will arrange correspondingly for the dismissed soldiers.

For example, there is a great demand for the regular servants and yamen servants of the various mansions, which is enough to accommodate those dismissed soldiers under your command. "

Hearing Yang Qi's arrangement, the voices of those quarreling became much quieter.

Yang Qi paused, and continued: "The reason why I abolished so many soldiers and horses is firstly to streamline the army and simplify the administration. More importantly, after repeated battles, whether it is the Southern Kingdom, the Four Northwest Prefectures, or the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, The population is pitifully small.

The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun can be said to be a waste of time.

The purpose of abolishing so many soldiers and horses is to enrich the population.

Once we have established a territory, we need to occupy it, and we need to use it even more.

At the same time, it is necessary to prosper the creation of it, not to waste it.

What is the purpose of our hard work to lay down these places?
To let everyone have a good life.

The purpose is to let the parents, wives and children of the family live a good life. "

Yang Qi glanced all around, and said coldly: "It's not that I, Yang Yansi, can't afford to support so many soldiers and horses of yours. No matter how many soldiers and horses, I, Yang Yansi, can afford to support you. But being aggressive is not what I want.

I can support you, but I cannot support your parents, wives and children in your family.

I make you full, but let your parents, wives and children suffer from hunger. Is this what you want to see? "

Those generals who were quite critical just now fell silent.

When Yang Qi saw that everyone was convinced by him, he didn't talk nonsense, "Starting tomorrow, the soldiers and horses of the Southern Kingdom will start their return journey. After the return journey, Yang Yanding will preside over the selection of soldiers and horses, as well as the places where each army will be stationed.

Yang Yanping is responsible for arranging the defense of the four prefectures in the northwest and the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, as well as the selection of soldiers and horses.

One month later, the soldiers and horses from the four prefectures in the northwest and the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun must be selected, and all the soldiers and horses responsible for the garrison must rush to the station.

All the dismissed officers and soldiers were placed in the nearest state capitals according to their wishes, serving as regular and government servants in each government, and they temporarily appease the people everywhere before the new officials took office.

Did you hear everything clearly? "

Yang Qi questioned.

"Listen clearly..."

Sparse responses.

"Oh!"

Yang Qi slapped the table suddenly, and the big table in front of everyone sitting around trembled three points, almost falling apart.

Everyone's heart trembled, and they looked at Yang Qi in astonishment.

Yang Qi stared at everyone coldly, and said in a deep voice: "I, Yang Yansi, the lord of the four northwestern prefectures, the lord of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and the lord of the southern kingdom. Now, tell me, did you hear clearly?"

Everyone's expression is lingering.

I understand the meaning of Yang Qi's words.

Although Yang Qi is now, he has neither the name of king nor the name of emperor.

But as long as he wants, he can call himself king and emperor at any time.

In other words.

From now on, Yang Qi's identity has changed a lot.

He is the king, and you and others are all ministers.

A huge chasm spanned between them.

They must remember that there is a difference between monarchs and ministers.

The monarch is respectful and the minister is humble.

Under the watchful eyes of Yang Qi, everyone stood up and saluted Yang Qi together, including Yang Qi's elder brother.

"I would like to abide by the order of the Huhou (lord of the country)."

Only then did Yang Qi nodded in satisfaction and waved his hands, "Let's all go down and do things. Yang Yanping stay..."

Everyone left the meeting hall, only Yang Qi and Brother Yang were left in the meeting hall.

"Hey……"

In front of his elder brother, Yang Qi no longer had the domineering spirit he had just now, but heaved a long sigh helplessly.

Yang Da laughed and said, "Seventh Brother, you are becoming more and more regal."

Yang Qi smiled wryly: "I don't want to be like this..."

Yang Da put away the teasing smile on his face, and said seriously: "Brother understands you. You always think of everyone in a friendly way, and you put your energy into one place, and your heart in one place. You even want everyone to be indistinguishable." Honor and humble, get along with each other as equals.

However, the etiquette of respect and inferiority has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is not something you can easily change.

With your current status, the more you talk to people kindly, the more soft-hearted you will be, and the easier it is to bully.

You are no longer the young man in Bianjing city you used to be.

Now you are the co-lord of the three places, in charge of the life and death of tens of millions of people.

If you soften your heart for a moment, many people will have to pay the price.

Originally, I wanted to remind you of this again, but I didn't expect you to react first. "

Yang Qi frowned tightly, and said in a deep voice: "This feeling is very bad, what I want is not these..."
