I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 82 Liu Jian believes that the Yueqi Camp needs to be reformed

Yueqi School Lieutenant, one of the five schools of the Northern Army, was subordinate to the Central Marquis of the Northern Army. He had no lieutenant under him, but one Sima, who was in charge of the guards. There were 120 seven officials and 700 leaders.

Regarding the membership system of the Yueqi battalion, there have been two sayings since ancient times that "the Yue people are attached to them and think they are riding" and "their strength is better than others".

Yueqi school captain Yueqi, when it was compiled in the imperial camp in the early Han Dynasty, the meaning to be expressed by this name is indeed a proprietary direction. At that time, Yueqi was indeed a "real" Yueqi The riders, the more they belong to the land, the stronger they are regarded as fierce riders. To a certain extent, they are the same as Hu Qi and Qiang riders, demonstrating the greatness of the Han Dynasty to accept all rivers and subdue the barbarians.

It's just that with the passage of time, the single-pointedness of the word "Yueqi" has been eliminated. During Wang Mang's period, the Yueqi camp had become the "Forbidden Army" and "Suwei". The meaning of the name of the cavalry battalion is that its standard direction is "choose its material strength and surpass it", rather than a legion composed of cross-country knights.

That is to say, in this period, the meaning of the name of the Yueqi camp refers to the camp that excels in the art of riding bravely, and the meaning of the word "Yue" has become "beyond", rather than simply referring to the simple "Yueqi". Two words.

Today is Liu Jian's first day in office, and he and Yu Ze are stationed in the Yueqi Camp.

On the way, Yu Ze and Liu Jian chatted about the daily life and talked about the Yueqi Camp.

"Young Master has become the captain of Yueqi, how do you want to manage this battalion?"

Liu Jian didn't answer directly, but asked Yu Ze: "In Brother Yu's opinion, what should I do?"

Yu hurriedly said: "How dare you teach Shaojun how to do things?"

"It's okay. You have been with my brother Bogui for many years. You have been among the big households in the border county for a long time. You have a lot of knowledge. You naturally have your own unique insights into military affairs. Although I participated in the war against Xianbei, I was just following along. Master Lu is just learning how to fight, and when it comes to the experience of running an army, he may not be as good as Brother Yu, so it's okay to ask Brother Yu."

Seeing that Liu Jian was so respectful and virtuous, Yu didn't hide it anymore.

"If it's a village in the frontier county, it's easier to talk about it, but this Yueqi camp is the camp of the Suwei in Gyeonggi, and dragons and snakes are mixed in it. If you want to control it, it's not easy."

Liu Jian looked at him: "Please elaborate?"

Yu Ze said: "Most of the knights in the Gyeonggi camps of the Han Dynasty came from the generation of Jincheng, Longxi, Tianshui, Anding, Beidi, and Shangjun. The capital, although some people, like Habayashiro, are inheriting their father's career for their sons, but fortunately their foundation is not deep, it is no big deal, the key lies in the 120 seven officials in the battalion."

Liu Jian smiled when he heard the words: "Yes, I also thought of it. The five battalions of the Northern Army have only 700 knights in each battalion, but there are 120 seven officials. This number of officials is enough to manage an army of ten thousand people. "

After all, Yu Ze had stayed in the Gongsun family in Liaodong, so he had heard about some things.

"What Shaojun said is that in the fifth battalion of the Northern Army, which guards Gyeonggi, although the sons of good families who act as knights are suspected of being passed down from generation to generation, they are not many and can be dealt with. However, there are one-third of the officials in the management battalion. Just like Habayashiro, from generation to generation, one-third of them are relatives of various officials in the court, and another third are people placed by the eunuchs at that time."

Speaking of this, Yu said in a low voice: "After all, the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army has heavy responsibilities. Whether it is His Majesty or others, it is impossible to rely on only one school lieutenant in the battalion. For Your Majesty, the Northern Army that supervises the Fifth Battalion Zhonghou is more trustworthy than the school lieutenant, and for the Gate of Valor, among the hundreds of officials, they also need their cronies."

Liu Jian nodded, and he probably understood what Yu Ze meant.

Even though it has been 14 years since the September Mutiny of the Han Dynasty, when Wang Fu and others killed Dou Wu and Chen Fan, the lessons and vigilance of the coup are still deeply imprinted in the minds of everyone in Luoyang.

Even if you can't control the battalions, you must try your best to insert some of your own forces in the battalions.

Why is it said that the five schools of the Northern Army are "a heavy duty and idle"?How much is also because of this reason.

"According to Brother Yu, I think it is not so easy for one person to completely control the Yueqi camp?"

"If it's a village in a border county, the young master doesn't say that he wants to control these 700 people, even [-] people are not a problem, but the camp in the middle of the capital is somewhat complicated."

Liu Jian nodded, and he admitted that what Yu Ze said was not wrong.

In fact, whether he is in charge of this Yueqi battalion has no decisive effect on his future development, but...

After all, this is his first high position as a military officer, with a rank ratio of two thousand shi, and his subordinates are in charge of a battalion, and the imperial court supports these people for him.

He didn't want to waste this resource.

The more than 100 official positions in the Yueqi camp can be used by the emperor, the eunuchs, and the ministers of noble families...why can't he use them?
After the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the inland counties did not set up standing soldiers. Only 36 border counties including Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Liangzhou had county soldiers. The number of soldiers in each county was about several thousand, and the total number of soldiers in the 36 border counties was more than [-]. Adding in the troops of the Duliao Camp, Yuyang Camp, Liyang Camp, and all subordinate states, the number of troops that can be conscripted nationwide should be more than [-].

Among the more than [-] sergeants, how could there be no heroic generals who are good at military affairs and heroic?

If I can use my existing power to transfer a few people to Beijing to assist me in commanding the Yueqi Battalion, then in a sense, not only can I share the pressure of managing the army in Beijing, but at the same time, those who were transferred to Beijing by Liu Jian People, to a certain extent, can be regarded as his old officials!

Moreover, the Yellow Turban Uprising is coming soon, and the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army is also participating in the battle. He can't control others. At least the Yueqi Battalion should not live in panic during the final preparation period.

……

Liu Jian took Yuze to the Yueqi camp, and was greeted by Sima in the Yueqi camp and 120 of the 55 seven officials.

The surname of Sima of the Yueqiying was Fu, a native of Anping, Jizhou, who served as the Sima of the Yueqiying for three years. When Cao Poshi was in charge of the Yueqiying, he had been assisting Cao Poshi to manage the Yueqiying as Sima.

Cao Poshi is incompetent, he rarely pays attention to the affairs of the camp, so most of the military affairs in the camp are in the hands of this person.

Just seeing this Chengfu side, Liu Jian knew that he had to get rid of this person.

The other party's attitude was superficially respectful, but looking at Liu Jian's gaze made Liu Jian feel a little uncomfortable.

Others might not feel this kind of gaze, but Liu Jian is too familiar with it.

In his previous life, he was mixed in the workplace, and he started from the bottom. With his high EQ and aggressive business ability, he became the indispensable right-hand man of the chairman, single-handedly picking up a department.

Of course, to be able to achieve that level, in addition to excellent professional ability, it must be achieved by stepping on others to some extent!

Sunshine and darkness have always coexisted in this world.

Liu Jian had seen too much of this kind of outwardly humble, hidden other eyes in his heart.

But logically speaking, he is now the son of the emperor, and his reputation is full in Luoyang, but anyone with a bit of insight knows that he is not something ordinary people can provoke.

There should be a backstage behind the opponent.

However, it is a mediocre person not to be envied, and Liu Jian, who has a super good psychological quality and a thick skin, just smiled at Cheng Fu.

Afterwards, Liu Jian started counting according to the roster of bamboo slips.

120 Of the seven officials, only 55 came, and it was his first day as a lieutenant.

He naturally wanted to understand why.

After pointing the mao, Liu Jian began to ask Cheng Fu: "Cheng Sima, today is the first day that I will take office. Leaving aside the [-] knights in the battalion, all the officials in the Yueqi battalion including Sima have not arrived. Why?"

Cheng Fu was neither humble nor overbearing, and said: "Returning to the school captain, the Yueqi Battalion has five responsibilities, one is to guard the capital, and concurrently in charge of conquest; The fourth is to obey the orders and wait for the ceremonial guards on schedule to show the prestige of Han Dynasty. The fifth is to dispatch officers and men from each battalion to inspect the counties in Sili in rotation. Zhu Zuo has military affairs every month, some are in the palace, and some are in the suburbs of Beijing. Get out, so it's not all right."

"Oh."

Liu Jian nodded suddenly: "I heard that the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army usually have free time except for drills. From this point of view, it seems that the captain made a mistake?"

Cheng Fu bowed and clasped his fists, and said: "In and outside the capital, there are many rumors about the Wuying, most of them are not true, please don't listen to the rumors, captain, you need to see the truth."

"According to what you said, it is normal for the officers and men of the fifth battalion to be rotated and assigned on a regular basis. So no matter when this captain comes to the battalion? Can't all the subordinates gather together?"

Cheng Fu bowed his head and replied: "Everything in the camp has always been like this. Captain Cao has been in office for three years, and he can't see all the officials in the camp in one day. This is normal."

normal?Ha ha, this is the way to put it down, right?

"I see!"

Liu Jian nodded suddenly: "I don't know what you said just now, how did Colonel Cao order the military affairs such as guarding the capital, guarding Luocheng, and patrolling the Sili on weekdays?"

"The commander of Captain Cao's army, regardless of trivial matters, the transfer of military affairs, has been shared by the last official and Zhu Zuo for the captain over the years."

Liu Jian blinked: "Everything is done by you, so what was Captain Cao responsible for when he was in office?"

Cheng Fu said very seriously: "The captain is the leader of an army, he doesn't care about the details, he just takes care of the overall situation and randomly checks the army... Oh, yes, all the expenses for the fifth battalion come from Taicang, but Taicang has been short of money over the years. Insufficient income, out of [-]% of the supplies that should be given to the battalions every month, at most [-]% can be provided. The captains of the fifth battalion need to go to the Dasinong's office to ask for military supplies for the camp's children, and they also exchange with each other. There is a struggle... the soldiers of the three armies rely on the captain for food twice a day, this is a major matter for the battalion, and the captain must personally come forward to Da Sinonong."

Liu Jian raised his eyebrows: "I am a captain of the battalion, so I am in charge of this matter? Am I the captain of Yueqi or a food officer like you?"

Cheng Fu was a little stunned when he heard the words. Hearing Liu Jian's tone, it seemed that this matter was nothing at all?
"Lieutenant, the Yueqi battalion guards the capital, there are few battles, only a monthly routine exchange, which is very simple... So shouldn't the rations and monthly ranks of the soldiers in the battalion be the biggest thing?"

Cheng Fu still spoke politely, but Liu Jian could tell that his words were more or less rhythmic.

Sure enough, after hearing what Cheng Fu said, the 55 officials also advised Liu Jian not to underestimate the matter of grain and fodder in the army. Taicang allocates so much to the Fifth Battalion every month. If it is not taken in time, it is very likely that the soldiers in the battalion will earn less than the other four battalions. The dissatisfaction of the soldiers may cause trouble.

"Boom!"

Just when everyone was admonishing, with a loud noise, all the subordinate officials in the tent who were chattering just now fell silent.

Liu Jian pulled out the saber from his waist and placed it heavily on the table in front of him.

For a while, there was no sound in the account.

The young man who was still smiling just now suddenly turned his face, with a fierce look in his eyes.

You know, Liu Jian is a man of martial arts, and he also participated in the Northern Expedition to Xianbei, so he has experienced among the dead.

Although the subordinate officials present belonged to the Yueqi Battalion, they had only defended the capital for many years and had never participated in the First World War. Under the watchful eyes of the men of Yanzhao like beasts, they lost their momentum for a while.

Liu Jian hooked his fingers at Cheng Fu: "Come here!"

Cheng Fu looked at Liu Jian's sword on the table and was a little terrified, but under the scrutiny of the other party, he couldn't help but step forward.

He cautiously walked to Liu Jian's desk...

"Lieutenant, please don't get angry..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Jian picked up the long sword from the table and put the sword on Cheng Fu's shoulder.

Although he knew that Liu Jian would not and could not do anything to him, Cheng Fu was still filled with indescribable tension in his heart facing the sharp knife that was within reach.

"What is the captain doing?"

Liu Jian gently rubbed the sword back and forth on the opponent's shoulders, and said in a low voice, "Remember, I don't care how Captain Cao was in charge of the Yueqi Camp? But the Yueqi Camp will be in charge of the Yueqi Camp from today. All the rules have to be changed! Tomorrow, I will meet all the officials in this battalion, 120 seven people are not allowed to be absent, and whoever does not come will pack up and leave, understand?"

With a gloomy face, Cheng Fu said in a low voice, "Here."

Liu Jian turned to look at the other people in the tent: "From today onwards, all the affairs in the Yueqi camp, all the martial arts performances, and all the guard rotations will be arranged by this captain. As for the matter of asking Taicang for food... As a Sima, it is up to you to ask Da Si Nong on time. No matter what method you use, the captain must go to the Yueqi camp to spend [-]% of the support! One stone less rice, I will give you one army stick, one hundred stone, one hundred Army stick, understand?"

"Well..."

"louder!"

"Here!!"

"Very good, you can go down now. In addition, bring over all the resumes of the 700 people in the battalion. This captain will go through them one by one!"

"Well..."

"louder please!"

"Here!!"

After all the officials went down, Liu Jian turned his head to look at Yu Ze: "Brother Yu, if there is no accident, if there is no accident, if you go down tonight, then Cheng Sima will definitely go to find the master behind him, you help me keep an eye on it, see Who is he looking for?"

"Here!"
