Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 955
"Congratulations to the governor, happy to be Lin'er!"

In the past few days, when all the generals came to discuss matters, they must say this sentence.

"But adding a plaything in my arms is not worth mentioning."

And Shen Zhezi always responded like this, but the undisguised joy between his eyebrows and eyes showed that this matter was definitely not worth mentioning.To have an heir is a great joy in life for anyone, especially for a person like Shen Zhezi who has a high position and power and can affect the well-being of thousands of people, it has some extraordinary significance.

Although at Shen Zhezi's current age, there is no need to worry about this at all, but being happy to have a son-in-law is also an inspiration to the people around him.

Although there was good news from home, Shen Zhezi couldn't start his return journey immediately.Heluo's big mess really made it hard for him to get out.It's not that he doesn't trust the general's ability, but that many things can be properly handled only when he is present.

The first is to stabilize the morale of the army.In fact, in the case of successive victories by Master Wang, there is not much problem with the morale of the soldiers. The soldiers are very excited, and even if the arrangements for some small matters are difficult to meet people's wishes, it will not arouse any resentment.In this regard, it is mainly to make some guarantees for the generals.

Recently, Shen Zhezi frequently summoned the generals, or interviewed someone alone, and told everyone about the delayed reward, telling them that the formal reward for meritorious service should not have any results years ago.

Although the generals were eager to make progress, they all expressed their understanding.In fact, the unsatisfactory performance of the Jiangbei Jin army is largely due to the fact that the Jiangdong court did not take military merits seriously enough, or was slow to respond, or the merits and rewards did not match.

The reason why the Huainan army can be kneaded into a whole is that there is a backer like Shen who can directly reach the center, and they can generally be rewarded for their merits.But even so, even Shen Zhezi's reward was delayed and suppressed, let alone these ordinary generals.

Therefore, all the generals can also understand Shen Zhezi's approach. Although such great achievements are so remarkable, it is impossible to suppress and not reward, but whether the details are important or not can also determine the future of a single general.

For the generals, they are naturally more inclined to sort out a reward distribution plan internally, and then report it to Taichung, so that they can be considered as a whole.

Of course, delaying the victory does not mean that everything is content with the status quo. Regarding the temporary duties of the generals, Shen Zhezi still made certain adjustments and arrangements.

The first is Hebei, which is still dominated by Han Huang and Xie Ai.Han Huang controlled the Hanoi area with cavalry and was responsible for supporting Xie Ai in Ji County. These two groups of troops are not only stationed in Hebei, but will continue to expand in the future.

As for Heluo, it is impossible for Shen Zhezi to sit in Luoyang right now. He has more important things to do, which is to return to Huainan and transfer as much financial and material resources as possible from Jiangdong to the Central Plains to support this area after the war. reconstruction.

Therefore, Shen Zhezi, the chief general guarding Luoyang, intends to temporarily appoint Qiao Wang Sima Wuji.King Qiao, with the appearance of a middle-aged man, does not have any outstanding talents, but he is not a faint-hearted and incompetent person. He also has the status of a Zongwang, and because of his early family feud, he has ties with various sects of the Jiangdong Central Center. There is almost no close connection, and he is the perfect candidate to sit in the old capital of Luoyang.

Now Heluo has decided that although the Guanzhong side showed some signs of interfering in the Heluo situation, the Heluo war ended quickly and did not buy them enough time. Even if they had any ideas, they have not yet been implemented. Heluo It has been determined.

In terms of military affairs, Shen Zhezi intends to temporarily retain an army size of 5 horses in Heluo.The main military operations, one is to continue to expand westward, striving to extend the scope of Wang Shi's influence to the ancient Hangu Pass, which is known as "the pill can be blocked", instead of just stopping at Xin'an County, not far to the west of Luoyang. Xinhangu Pass.

As for going north, it is a small-scale infiltration along Taihang Xing and Zheguan Xing in the Taihang Eight Xing to the northwest of Hedong and other places, and no large-scale military operations will be launched in the short term.

And the other armies will not retreat to their original defense areas.Xingyang is still used as a distribution point, which is handed over to Guo Song for garrison. In the future, Lu Yong's navy will mainly be active in the waters from the Yellow River to Honggou. Mao Bao will move east to the sliding platform and continue to maintain and operate this Henan stronghold.

What is more worrying is the Xuzhou Army. Of course, Shen Zhezi can no longer allow them to return to the Guangling base camp, but it is not too late to fully integrate them into the Huainan Army system.Therefore, Shen Zhezi planned to first arrange Li Hong in the area of ​​Chenliu County where Chen Guang's rebellious army was originally entrenched, and keep 2 troops.Another [-] people will be left to cooperate with King Qiao to sit in Heluo, and the rest will return to Huainan with themselves in the name of eating, and temporarily arrange them in Huaiyin.

In addition, Shen Mu, who is still in Taishan County right now, Shen Zhezi does not intend to withdraw. This is the only commanding height in East China that must be in his hands, so he will continue to increase troops in the coming year.If there are no other special needs in the future, Shen Mu will be mainly responsible for the military affairs of Xubei, Qing, Yan and other prefectures and counties. This is the first relatively independent combat area within Shen Zhezi's current sphere of influence.

However, in the next few years, the military center of gravity will still be in the West.After King Qiao took command of Heluo, the Nanyang defense area was vacated, and Shen Zhezi planned to send Shen Yun to take over.

Nanyang is the key point to communicate with the Han Mian area. Shen Yun alone is a bit reluctant regardless of age or qualifications, so Shen Zhezi is going to match the veteran Xu Mao.

As for the other young generals in the army, except for Xie Ai who has already confirmed the location of Ji County, none of them have arranged a fixed garrison area yet.Young generals like Xie Yi, Xiao Yuandong, etc., still focus on tempering, and are mainly arranged in the west and north of Heluo, responsible for the specific military affairs of Heluo's defense and foreign strategy.

In general, the military arrangement is like this, maintaining a situation where the outside is more important than the inside, such as Runan and Huainan, which were originally heavily guarded, will not be the focus of military affairs in the future, and will instead focus on internal affairs. As for the needs of defense , then it will be handed over to the Tuntian soldiers.

Master Wang has made great achievements in this northward march, and the loss of soldiers is not great.To put it a little cruelly, this means that there will be a lot of pressure on rewards.Unlike generals, ordinary soldiers have higher political aspirations, so their demand for rewards and stimulation for real interests is more urgent.

But the problem is, don't say that the Huainan Governor's Mansion has almost exhausted the thick reserves of the past few years in the past six months, even if it uses all Jiangdong's financial resources, it will be difficult to satisfy such a large reward group.What's more, Shen Zhezi didn't expect any practical and useful help from Taichung in this regard at all, and everything depended on him.

Even Shen Zhezi couldn't be satisfied with the direct reward of money, food and property. The feasible plan before him was to reward with land.Granting land due to meritorious service can not only solve the problem of hard work, but also quickly organize and resume production.

But Shen Zhezi still does not intend to give up the long-term potential because of the short-term profit after thinking for a long time.In this battle, one million people were lost in Hebei alone, and although the Heluo area was dilapidated, after careful search and rectification, it was not difficult to get 30 to [-] people.

Once such a large population income can be fully digested and returned to reclamation, the potential obtained after a few years is simply inestimable!If we give up control of these populations and land due to temporary difficulties, we will face great difficulties and obstacles if we want to concentrate in the future.

Therefore, Shen Zhezi initially planned to open the policy of granting land for Jiagong to only about 1 people, and it was mainly concentrated in the Heluo area.

In this way, it can form an incentive for the soldiers, and these soldiers who have been granted land will in turn become Shen Zhezi's most loyal supporters, and quickly resume production in the Heluo area so that Shen Zhezi can work faster. Moved to Luoyang to plan a new round of Northern Expedition.

As for other gaps in military merit, Shen Zhezi intends to implement a decree of "retirement and return to the village", that is, to call on some old, injured and sick soldiers to return to the village.

This decree is not to kill donkeys. On the one hand, it is indeed to exchange blood for the front-line combat troops to replenish more young and strong elites.

Although the combat effectiveness of these veterans has declined, their obedience to the organization and combat experience are still a valuable asset. It would be a waste of resources if they were allowed to disarm and return to farming.

In the future, there will be hundreds of thousands of civilians entering the village, and there will be a huge shortage of organizational talents at all levels. These veterans can just make the best use of them.They may not meet the requirements at the intellectual level, but loyalty and organization are guaranteed.By letting them manage the villages, the scale of reclamation can be laid out more quickly, and it can effectively prevent the township and clan forces from interfering in the reclamation affairs.

In the past few years, the Huainan Governor's Mansion has already organized a short-term grassroots training framework, which includes not only literature and art propaganda, but also the unique knowledge carrier of simplified characters.All of these are prerequisites for creating a special organizational structure that can effectively avoid external interference.Moreover, in the future, it can also be used as a basis to build a military government with clearer functions, so that it can be used by the people.

Such an ambitious goal cannot be achieved in a short period of time, and it is an excellent situation to see results within three to five years.And when these arrangements can be fed back, Shen Zhezi will become stronger than ever, and the resources he can master will be even more abundant. In the future, he will continue to advance northward and restore Xinjiang, and there will be no need for any compromises at all!
In addition to these big military and political plans, there is also an imminent task that is disaster relief, to find enough food and other items for millions of people to survive the harsh winter.This is the prerequisite for all plans to be carried out. If this cannot be achieved, let alone a bigger vision, even if it is only to digest the current income, it will not be possible.
