The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 309

After Wang Anjie finished speaking, Yin Yinglei said, "Please give instructions, Your Majesty."

"My request is very simple. It is to build the three-compartment soldiers of the Lin'an Military Region into an elite soldier who can fight tough battles and is good at fighting tough battles within one or two years. As for the methods of training soldiers, I generally don't interfere too much. You just It needs to be discussed and reported to the Military Council. Of course, the premise is that it does not violate the laws and military regulations of our court,"

Yin Yinglei said: "I understand, Your Majesty, but don't worry, after a year and a half, as long as we go through a few actual battles, our Lin'an Military Region will definitely not be weaker than the four frontier military regions."

I laughed and said, "In actual combat, you don't have to wait until a year or so later. Li Beiyang's troops to suppress pirates will probably attack the Ryukyu Islands. I asked you to send [-] troops from the Lin'an Military Region just to let you participate in actual combat training. The Ryukyu Islands are composed of several small island countries, you rotate your troops and take them down one by one for me,"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey the order,"

"Yin Aiqing, which one of you will lead the army for the first time?"

"Your Majesty, I have discussed with General Wang. This time, the commander of the second chamber, General Zhao Bao, will lead his [-] soldiers to the Ryukyu. Next time, General Wu Songhan and General Zhang Shun will take turns."

"Well, most of the soldiers in the Lin'an Military Region have never been to the battlefield, even the original Forbidden Army. After a year and a half, your soldiers will become veterans with actual combat experience. The three commanders , are you confident?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the final general will live up to His Majesty's entrustment,"

"Okay, General Zhao, General Wu, and General Zhang, I will replace wine with tea, and I wish you all the best, and show off the power of the Great Song Dynasty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," even though it was tea, the three commanders drank it all with pride.

On the same day when I inspected the military camp, Kublai Khan, the Great Khan of Mongolia, also held the first military meeting in Mongolia this year in the military tent in his palace. , you will definitely find that the double stars are still shining, and they are indistinguishable.

Except for the generals who expedition to the Western Regions, almost all generals from all walks of life in Mongolia have arrived. An Tong, Atahai, Ali Haiya, Pingzhang's political affairs officer and Han army governor Zhao Bi, Dong Wenbing, Zhang Rou, Shi Tianze, Zhang Hongfan, Liu Zheng and other famous generals who had just returned from the Western Regions were all present. In addition, the only ones present at the meeting were Emperor Hao Jing, Guoshi Ba Siba and Zhongshu Lingzhenjin.

Early Mongolia implemented the tribal military system. All the men in each tribe aged over 15 and under the age of 70 were soldiers. They dismounted from horses to herd livestock in peacetime, and mounted horses to fight in wartime. This is a typical system of combining soldiers and herdsmen. Its social organization and military organization are integrated into one, and it can be called that all the people are soldiers. The army composed of men from these Mongolian tribes is the "Mongolian Iron Cavalry", which is known as the invincible.

As Mongolia's power expanded day by day and the area it occupied became wider and wider, the sources of its lieutenants also began to diversify. In the era of Mengge Khan and Kublai Khan, the army consisted of three main groups: the first Naturally, it is the Mongolian army. This is a force composed of Mongolians including some Semu people. It is also the main force of the Mongolian country. Later, many Semu people and Han people joined the forward, heavy service or remote garrison troops; the last one was called the Han army, which was composed of the Han people in the original Jin Dynasty area and some Jurchen and Khitan people. The Han army with the lowest status is basically infantry.

The Mongolian army is organized according to the decimal system and is divided into four levels: Wanhufu (3000-7000 troops), Qianhusuo (300-700 troops), Baihusuo, and Paizi (10 households). Wanhu, Qianhu, Baihu, and Paitou are in command, and the Wanhu Mansion and Qianhu Office of the non-Mongolian army are also equipped with "Daluhuachi", which is a military supervisor, and is exclusively served by Mongolian or Semu nobles. Set up the capital Wanhu Mansion, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, etc., and the guards and pro-army set up a commander and envoy on the Qianhu Office.

In 1260, since Kublai Khan began to take control of the Mongolian government, some Song Dynasty systems were gradually introduced into the Mongolian military system, but its core mechanism has not changed.

"Dear dear friends, the news from the Southern Dynasty said that the Southern Dynasty abolished the forbidden army and replaced it with the six major military regions and the imperial forest army. It seems that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty had a lot of ambitions, but he just let it change. It will be my invincible enemy of the Mongolian iron cavalry," Kublai Khan smiled, but then said seriously, "However, many systems in the Southern Dynasty have gone through thousands of years, and there are certain merits. If we are well prepared for the Southern Expedition, then it is time to make targeted and necessary adjustments to our court’s military affairs.”

"Khan, it will take another two years," Ali Hague said.

"Ali Hague, if you provide enough military expenses to Ben Khan, then Ben Khan will order to go south today,"

"Hey, Khan, you know that I've spent all my salary in exchange for wine, how can there be so much military expenses?"

Kublai Khan knew about Ali Haiya's habits, so he ignored him and said, "My dear friends, I have three general ideas. The first is in terms of arms. Everyone knows that the cavalry in our dynasty is brave, so we must make full use of our strengths and give full play to them. I have the advantages of war horses and riding skills. Ben Khan has discussed with the emperor and the officials of the newly established Taipu Temple (the official office in charge of horses). He plans to equip all the soldiers of the Tanma Red Army with mounts within this year. Let the generals of the Han army have more than [-]% of the war horses. At the same time, we must strictly control the southward flow of our war horses and block all passages that may flow to the southern dynasty. Ben Khan will focus on supporting it as always. At the same time, while we are developing our strengths, we must also develop our original shortcomings. Ben Khan has said many times that we must vigorously develop the navy, but most generals still do not pay attention. Here, Ben Khan reiterated that the navy is bound to develop, Liu Zheng, "

"The minister is here,"

"From today onwards, our dynasty officially established the Wanhu Mansion of the Navy, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council. Liu Aiqing, this Khan appointed you as the head of the Wanhu Mansion, the governor of the Wanhu Mansion of the Navy, and will be in charge of all naval affairs of our dynasty. In addition, You joined the Privy Council together with Zhao Bi, Zhao Aiqing and Shi Tianze, Shi Aiqing,"

After Liu Zheng heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you Dahan for your kindness."

Zhao Bi and Shi Tianze were also overjoyed, they knelt down to thank them and said, "Thank you, Khan."

The supreme commander of the Mongolian army is concurrently held by the Great Khan. Below the Great Khan is the Zongwang, followed by the head of ten thousand households, and then the head of thousands of households. It is enough to show its high grade. Huchi, the guard general of Yangjia Town at that time, also belonged to the head of ten thousand households, but it was because Huchi was a member of the royal family.

Moreover, being able to join the Privy Council is something that Han generals would not even dare to think about.

The Privy Council of Mongolia was established by Kublai Khan in May of the fourth year of Zhongtong (Zhongtong, the year after Kublai Khan proclaimed Khan, the fourth year of Zhongtong is 1263). One member of the Privy Council, two deputy envoys of the Privy Council, and one member of the Privy Council. Among them, the Privy Councilor is concurrently held by Yan Wang Zhenjin, but it is only a false title. Those who hold real power in the Privy Council are Tongzhi Privy Council officials, deputy envoys of the Privy Council, etc. Officer, currently serving in the Privy Council of Tongzhi is the old general Wu Lianghetai, and the two deputy envoys are An Tong and Atahai. Since the establishment of the Privy Council more than two years ago, this is the first time that a Han person has served in it, let alone There are as many as three people, even though they are all deputies.

Since Kublai Khan quelled Ali Boke's rebellion, the number of Han troops in Mongolia has reached more than 20, surpassing the number of Mongolian troops for the first time. Conquering the Han with the power of the Han is the best strategy. Most of the Han generals such as Zhao Bi and Shi Tianze were born during the Jin Dynasty, and they have little overlap with the current Zhao regime in the Southern Dynasty. These generals have followed Kublai Khan for a long time. Honesty and loyalty can be learned from others.

Although everyone was a little surprised that Liu Zheng was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Navy, they had long cultivated the idea of ​​despising the Navy so that everyone could accept it. However, for the three Han generals to enter the Privy Council at the same time, it made the Mongolian kings and generals present Surprised, even though Zhao Bi and Shi Tianze among them had made great military exploits.

Although the Mongols are rough-tempered, they respect Kublai Khan the most. Even if they have opinions, they dare not express them easily in front of Kublai Khan. Zhen Jin and the other three people who were standing by the side knew about this beforehand, and they did not dare to express it in front of Kublai Khan. He is in favor of it, so his face remains the same.

Kublai Khan's gaze was like a torch, he quickly glanced at the Mongolian generals in the room, and continued: "Three Aiqing, Pingshen, Liu Aiqing, whether you need manpower or financial and material resources, you can bring it up, if the emperor can't solve it, you can Come directly to Ben Khan, Ben Khan will give you two years to build a navy that can compete with the Southern Dynasties."

Liu Zheng respectfully said: "Yes, Dahan, I obey the order,"

"Well, Liu Zheng, you are very talented. Ben Khan heard that you once braved 12 people in the night, crossed the ditch and ascended the city, attacked the city of the Kingdom of Jin, and captured its defenders. Meng Shuai called him Sai Cunxiao. Is there such a thing? ,"

Seeing Kublai Khan mentioning his glorious deeds, Liu Zheng's eyes lit up and he said, "Hui Dahan, that's true."

Kublai Khan nodded slightly and said: "As a soldier with aspirations, if you want to succeed, you must first have a stage where you can play freely. Back then, Meng Shuai could give you such a stage in a local area. The stage, now Ben Khan is also giving you the same, and the biggest difference is that Ben Khan can give you the stage in all directions and provide various supports, but whether you can succeed in the end depends on you."
