Chapter 97

"The matter of the aftermath and the refugees has been resolved by the young master. The third matter is the military matter raised by General Pang and General Huang." Yang Fu glanced at Pang De, as if he was interested in Pang De, the prisoner. The general who climbed out of the cavalry battalion and was able to manage military affairs so clearly admired him very much.

"General Pang has already made a clear report on the matter of the barracks, mainly the issue of prisoners of war, recruitment, establishment, and horses. I heard that the young master has already solved it before?" Yang Fu didn't go to see the test horseshoe before, so he asked tentatively. In a word, after receiving everyone's affirmation and admiration, Yang Fu went on to say: "The three issues of military affairs are all related to each other, and I hope the young master will decide."

"Let's talk about it in detail. It's not that simple to think about the military affairs that can give Yishan a headache." Ma Chao expressed his attitude, and everyone listened attentively. Even more engrossed.

"Originally there were only [-] soldiers in Fufeng County. But after my lord entered the county, he commanded [-] iron cavalry. The formation of the county soldiers is quite different from Xiliang's iron cavalry. The leader of the army doesn't even know the generals, and the generals don't know the soldiers. Organizational reform, integrating the soldiers and horses of Fufeng County into one army is a top priority, and this is one of them."

After Yang Fu finished speaking, he took a sip of tea and saw that everyone was listening to him seriously, so he continued: "Secondly, the young master went deep into the hinterland of the Qiang people and defeated Li Kancheng's silver bandits. , except for rewards to his subordinates, all were confiscated. However, there were more than [-] prisoners of war, and many of them were young and strong. It is really a drag for Fufeng County to support them now. It should also be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it will lead to a mutiny, which will be a confidant's trouble; third, after the two major battles in Fufeng County, there are only more than [-] soldiers left. In order to deter foreigners and bandits in the county, recruiting is imminent."

"The above three items are closely related, and they affect the whole body. Therefore, the subordinates dare not make decisions without authorization, but I have some ideas, and I hope the young master can use them as reference." After talking about these three questions, Yang Fu seemed to be He also has his own views on military affairs.

"Oh? You don't have to be polite about Yishan, just speak up." For subordinates who have their own ideas and suggestions, Ma Chao wants to support and encourage them.After all, brainstorming is the kingly way to solve problems among the three cobblers.

"The subordinates think that if those captives are incorporated into the battalion, not only can the cost of recruiting troops be reduced, but also, those bandit soldiers or Qiang people are all people who have been on the battlefield, and their military quality is better than that of recruits. However, loyalty and practice I haven't found a way to solve the problem. Perhaps, this point can be solved through the reform of the establishment." Yang Fu pondered for a while, and shared his immature thoughts with everyone.

Ma Chao and everyone were lost in thought, and they accepted Yang Fu's suggestion.Meng Da, in particular, was struggling to find a way. It seemed that he wanted Ma Chao to absorb those thieves into the barracks: You know, to recruit soldiers, you still have to ask him for money!
After a while, Jia Huli was the first to speak: "Yishan's words are reasonable. The general uses soldiers, loves him like a cunning boy, respects him like a strict teacher, and uses him like soil. In Fufeng County, there are Xiliang and the county. The division of soldiers, if they are recruited again, will form the Xiliang army and the county soldiers to fight against each other. Even if the young master has the talents of generals, the region of the source of troops has already determined the confrontation relationship between the two. If we choose the best and strongest soldiers among them to serve as the army, then there will be no distinction between Xiliang and Fufeng counties, only the Ma family army."

Ma Chao nodded, especially Pang De, Brother Chou and Ma Dai, who were even more touched: if you are talking about commanding Xiliang iron cavalry, these three people use them like arms, but if you are talking about commanding county soldiers, these three people are Deeply strenuous.Without him, because the county soldiers and the Xiliang army have different formations, and these three are outsiders, the county soldiers will have some opinions on this.And the last battle of defending the city, if Ma Teng hadn't personally supervised the battle, I am afraid that the command of the county soldiers would not be effective.

"Zidu, what is the structure of the Han army? Can you explain it in detail?" Since he still couldn't think of a way, Ma Chao wanted to understand the situation first.

And Meng Da used to be the leader of this army, and he was even more familiar with the formation of the Han army, so he explained it immediately.

It turns out that the establishment of the Han army is roughly divided into six levels: Department, Qu, Tun, Team, Shi, and Wu.Wu has jurisdiction over five people, with a team leader; Shi has jurisdiction over two teams, with a total of ten people, and set up a leader; a team with five jurisdictions, a total of 50 people, and a Dubo; Tun has two teams, with a total of 100 people, and a Tun general, called One hundred generals; five villages under the jurisdiction of Qu, with a total of 500 people, and the head of the Qu; Erqu under the jurisdiction of the Ministry, with a total of 1000 people, and a supervisor of thousands of people, also known as the general of Yamen, the governor of riding, and the governor of trilogy.

However, the organization of various places is not too strict now, and some fiefdoms do not follow the organization of the Han Dynasty at all, and often do not set up a Quzhang, but go directly to the Yamen.Some simply abolished Buqutun, and asked a hundred generals to lead five teams with a total of 250 people, and four teams with 200 people. The above directly called Yamen, Jun Sima, Duwei, etc., and they were not in charge of it. Sometimes called trilogy.The number of soldiers he brought ranged from five hundred to a maximum of one thousand.Above the battalion is the battalion managed by the school lieutenant, and above the battalion is the army managed by the general. The battalion has at least 1000 people, and the army has at least 2000 people.

After listening, apart from Jia Xu, Yang Fu, and Zhang Ji who seemed to understand, Pang De, Chou Ge, and Ma Dai seemed to be stupid, and Ma Chao was also confused. What is the mess?

And that's not to mention, when Ma Chao asked Pound to tell Pound about the formation of the Xiliang cavalry that his father had made, he felt even more like a bird on his head and a fish on his buttocks, wishing to kill those military idiots Ma Teng.

It turned out that because Ma Teng was a mobile army in the past, his subordinates often had more and less staff.And Ma Teng didn't have an overly orthodox Han Dynasty military system in his mind, so he set up a staff of hundreds of people, and set up a centurion, then the captain at the top, and the general at the top. De said that some of them were beaten and disabled, leaving only a few hundred people; while some were mixed with the logistics and accompanying prisoners, there were more than [-] people...

According to Ma Chao's understanding, if it weren't for the Xiliang iron cavalry's brave style, which only advances and never retreats, the game would have been over long ago.And daring to fight is not all a good thing. For example, the bloody fact is that Ma Chao was in the hinterland of the grassland. He obviously only had 5000 people under his command, but he was still not good at maneuvering; Only when I shouted in my own voice did I know how to retreat...

Thinking of this, Ma Chao's heart was dripping with blood, and he secretly vowed to reform the system so that the blood of the warriors would no longer be worthless or unjust.

"Brother, although the uncle gave the elder brother five thousand private soldiers, the uncle did not say that he would hand over all the military power to the elder brother. Should you discuss this matter with the uncle first, if it leads to a estrangement between father and son, is it not worth the loss?" Ma Dai was still young, and originally planned to listen more and talk less, but now that such a sensitive topic was involved, it was only appropriate for him to remind Ma Chao.

When Ma Chao heard these words, his heart was also shocked: Although his father delegated authority in everything, if he did not make it beautiful, it would be no less than Ma Teng, so he had to be cautious.

Just as Ma Dai was lamenting that Ma Dai had some eyesight at such a young age, Ma Chao squinted and saw Jia Huli looking at Ma Dai with a "teachable child" look: If Jia Huhu did not collude with Ma Dai to wink, Ma Chao would not believe it. !
However, what Jia Xu did was right.After all, this is the Ma family's business, and their staff can make suggestions and ideas, but they cannot force Ma Chao to make a decision.After all, the time for everyone to come to Ma's house is short, even if Jia Xu who came the earliest has the identities of Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and Ma Yunlu's masters, it's hard to say too clearly.Only Ma Dai is his younger brother, and he is still young, so it is most appropriate for him to speak out and interrupt everyone's imaginings.

As a result, Ma Chao pretended to cough, and when everyone looked at him, he said: "This matter is no small matter. I will make a decision after discussing it with my father. I will stop here today and discuss it tomorrow."

"No!" Everyone turned over and retreated, and filed out.

"Hmm... wait a minute, then who, Jiahu, you stay here!"
