Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 209 Xuzhou Triple Reorganization

After Cao Cao left, Zhou Cang ordered Tancheng to remain as Xuzhou's factory.Xuzhou has four counties under its jurisdiction: Guangling, Langya, Donghai, and Lujiang, totaling 54 counties.

Among them, Lujiang County actually includes the former Lujiang and Jiujiang counties in nine counties in Jiangbei.The vassal kings of the original Donghai Kingdom and Langya Kingdom had already been killed by the Yellow Turban Rebellion Army, and their property was robbed. The children who escaped by chance fled to other places after repeated battles by Liu Bei, Lu Bu, and Cao Cao. With permission, take the opportunity to withdraw.

When Zhou Cang returned to Tao Qian's old house, he sighed again, paid homage to Tao Qian, and thanked him for his kindness to him. Without Mr. Gan's appreciation and support, he didn't know where to go.Xuzhou needs a good plan. Zhou Cang dared not make major changes to the official system. After discussing with Zhou Wen and Zhang Jiong, he reorganized his subordinates:

First, the team reorganized.

Although the two counties of Xiapi and Pengcheng were missing, Zhou Cang decided to still call Xuzhou to the outside world.His official official status is the governor of Yangzhou, which can be regarded as an alternative.Zhou Wen did not drive for Xuzhou, as his deputy.The official status of the deputy of Yangzhou Governor is Xuzhou Biejia, another alternative.

Set up seven divisions as the daily management organization: Zhang Jiongyao led the prefect of Langya and was in charge of the administrative department.Chen Jiao led the prefect of Donghai and took charge of Xinglu Temple.Zhang Jai led the military and horse commander, and was in charge of the military and horse department, and Zhang Shuang, the economic envoy, was in charge of the finance and taxation department.Mi Fang led the transfer envoy and took charge of the Tuntian Division, Zhou Chong led the Security Envoy and took charge of the Secret Spy Division, and Zhou Xi led the Supervision Envoy and took charge of the Supervision Division.Ganchi did it for Langya, Chen Zhong did it for Lujiang, Zhou Ji did it for Guangling, and Zhou Xiang did it for Donghai.

In addition to the seven divisions, Zhou Cang set up Xuzhou Commercial Bank ingeniously. Su Ping served as the first big shopkeeper, at the same level as the divisions. Zhang Jin and Su Yang were his deputies, responsible for foreign trade.The main exports are salt and fruit wine, and the main imports are grain, copper, iron and medicinal herbs.

Liu Xun's inventory in Lujiang won supplies for Zhou Cang for two more years. Zhou Cang asked Mi Fang to promote wheat and rice, and to find ways to increase the production of grain and fruit wine. Tao Ying and the two potter brothers were his assistants.Liu Li's source of income has been shrinking day by day, and it will be difficult for Xuzhou to rely on windfalls for development in the future, so he can only rely on himself.

Zhou Cang estimated that one year later, more money could be used to purchase medicinal materials, copper, iron, and cloth, and he would also have the strength to annex the entire Xuzhou.

The problem of medicinal materials is now the bottleneck of Hua Tuo's development of new drugs. He was fooled by Zhou Cang: how easy is it to go to southern Yunnan and southern Fujian? Many people were sent out, but few came back alive.In Zhou Cang's mind, people are more valuable than money, so he tried to introduce medicinal materials through Xuzhou Commercial Bank as much as possible.

The development of the Dabie Mountains has also encountered bottlenecks. Land resources are limited, and the output can only meet the needs of the population, and it is impossible to produce more food for Xuzhou.What can support Xuzhou is manpower and a large number of fruits in the mountains for wine making.

Three important military towns: In the northeast, Pei Yuanshao is General Yingyang, Cao Xing is the school lieutenant, and Chen Zhongwei is in charge, echoing Zang Ba in Taishan County, and restraining Yuan Tan in Qingzhou.To the southeast, Chen Deng was the prefect of Guangling, and Gan Ning was the general of Lingjiang. They were in charge of Guangling's military and opposed Sun Ce.To the southwest, Xu Huang served as General Huwei, Taishou of Lujiang, Xu Sheng served as General Jianzhong, who assisted in guarding Lujiang, and Ganchi served as a wedge between Jingzhou and Jiangdong.Pei Yuanshao did not lead the prefect of Langya, but Zhang Jiongyao. It was Zhou Cang who ordered Pei Yuanshao to prepare for the battle and attack Chengyang County in Qingzhou.

Good brother Ding Feng heard that Xu Sheng was promising, and he also came to join him. Xu Sheng introduced him to Zhou Cang, and Zhou Cang appointed Ding Feng as General Liyi. As Gan Ning's deputy, he trained the navy.

Second, team reorganization.

Zhou Cang already has 2000 soldiers and horses under his command, with 1 troops stationed in Xuzhou, [-] cavalry, and [-] troops in each of the other three counties, and will not continue to expand the army.

Ten people form a team, with one team leader, and the rest are numbered from one to nine. When the team leader dies, he will be replaced in order.Twelve corps are one standard, and each corps is named after the earthly branch. There are 120 people in one standard, and there is one captain.The ten marks are one post, and each mark is named after Tiangan. One post counts 200 people. There is one school lieutenant and one left and right lieutenant.The five outposts form a battalion, named after the five parties. Among them, the front, back, left, and right sides are the main battle. The middle post is composed of five standard guards, one standard for scouts, scouts, horse scouts, and messengers. It is composed of similar auxiliary soldiers, with a total of 6000 people in the first battalion.

Zhou Cang named each battalion according to the five elements:

Lujiang is Huozi camp, with two camps, Lihuo and Zhiyan, Xu Huang and Xu Sheng each lead a battalion.

Guangling is the Shuizi camp, with two battalions, Washui and Zhanlang, and Gan Ning and Ding Feng each lead a battalion.

Langya is the Jinzi battalion, with two battalions of Duanjin and Xianfeng, and Pei Yuanshao and Cao Xing each lead a battalion.

Xuzhou is the Tuzi camp, and there are two camps in Litu and Panshi, and Qu'a and Chen Dao each lead a camp.

The Muzi camp has not yet been established, and Zhou Cang has already determined that the two camps are Qingmu and Pozhu.Zhou Cang couldn't think of a suitable name for the battalion led by Zhang Jai, so he called it the Independent Camp.Zhang Tiejiang still served as a craftsman in charge of the battalion, militarized management, but not as military affairs.

In this way, each soldier has his own number: Huozi Liehuoying Outpost Jiabiaoziwu No. [-], Zhang San.Tuzi Panshiying Houshao Yibiao Chouwu No. [-], Li Si, and so on.Generals such as Zhang Jai spoke highly of this reorganization, which was conducive to management and command, and counted casualties. In particular, the establishment of auxiliary troops such as medical officers and engineers was very helpful to improve the morale and combat effectiveness of the army.As for how to set up the archers, swordsmen, spearmen, and cavalry in each battalion, Zhou Cang will be left to the generals to arrange themselves, and they can be freely matched according to the battle. The professional work is still left to professional people.

The third is to investigate and reorganize.

After looking forward to it for a long time, Zhou Cang was finally able to reform the procuratorial system. The competition between Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu wiped out the three major Xuzhou gentry forces, Mi, Chen, and Cao. Zhou Cang took over Xuzhou cleanly and had no enemies. There is no hidden danger of retaliation, and there are no restrictive forces to interfere, so the construction of Xuzhou can be carried out with confidence.Zhou Cang will not allow any big clans to appear in Xuzhou. He is confident that there will be no big clans in Xuzhou for at least 30 years. Can live another five years.

Zhou Cang announced that Xuzhou would no longer recommend Maocai to recommend Xiaolian. In the future, the selection of officials in Xuzhou will be selected from college graduates.Of course, as the supreme officer, Zhou Cang still reserved the right to direct appointment. Zhou Cang didn't plan to use it frequently.
