Chapter 133: The Back House
In addition to forming the Five Guards and the Great Yan Imperial Guards in Fuzhou Prefecture, Junzhou Prefecture, and Congzhou Prefecture, Li Bin is also preparing to form a heavy armored cavalry of the guards.
The 300,000 war horses that Jin Luo Kingdom promised to Li Bin were sent directly to the territory of the original Fujun Kingdom by Jin Luo Kingdom before Li Bin left Jin Luo City. In addition, the war horses seized by Li Bin in Jin Luo City, Li Bin now has more than 350,000 war horses, and most of these war horses are Dongman horses with a weight of up to four or five hundred kilograms, which can be used as mounts of heavy cavalry.
Li Bin left behind 200,000 Eastern Barbarian horses to the heavy cavalry guards that were prepared to be established, and the remaining 150,000 war horses were allocated to the fifteen guards of the three prefectures. Each guard was given 10,000 war horses.
Each guard's imperial guard will use these 10,000 war horses to form at least three cavalry battalions, and the remaining war horses will be rated to officers, scouts, and commanders at all levels.
Although 200,000 Eastern Barbarian horses were left behind, the heavy cavalry guards were not formed immediately. Li Bin hoped to pull the cavalry guards in the territory of Dayan to Fuzhou Prefecture, Junzhou Prefecture and Congzhou Prefecture, and then use the officers and soldiers of the cavalry guards as the foundation to expand the cavalry guards to more than 80,000, and become the heavy cavalry guards who completely belong to Li Bin.
Of course, it is not that easy to pull the cavalry guards over. After all, the cavalry guards are the only cavalry unit established in Dayan, let alone the heavy cavalry.
Once the cavalry guard is pulled to Li Bin's Sanzhou Prefecture, the cavalry guard will definitely be completely out of control of the Dayan court. In this case, the top and the whole court of the Dayan court will not agree.
However, Li Bin considered that even if he could not bring the cavalry guards to the Sanzhou Prefecture, he would have to transfer Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others to come over, and then consider the establishment of the heavy cavalry guards.
Nowadays, the generals who followed Li Bin have basically entered the Imperial Guards of the 15th Guards of the Three Prefectures, and have temporarily held the position of head coach or deputy commander. However, because the number of generals is not enough, some guards only have one deputy commander, and some guards do not even have a deputy commander. Li Bin needs Qin Qiong and others to come, not only to form heavy cavalry guards, but also needs more generals to lead troops in the 15th Guards of the Three Prefectures.
At present, Xue Li, Yang Zaixing, Lu Bu, Huang Zhong and Xu Chu have been temporarily appointed as the commander of the Five Guards of Fuzhou. Shi Wengong, Luan Tingyu, Bian Xiang, Du Jie and Lin Chong have been temporarily appointed as the deputy commander of the Five Guards of Fuzhou.
Because the Fuzhou Prefecture divided by Li Bin had a long border with the Jinluo Kingdom, when reorganizing the 15th Guards Imperial Guards of the Three Prefectures, Li Bin asked the Fuzhou Five Guards Imperial Guards to select soldiers and generals among the original twenty Fushan Towns and five Dongcong Towns, and put the formation of the Fuzhou Five Guards Imperial Guards first.
Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Dong Xi, Ling Tong and Xu Sheng were temporarily appointed as the head coach of the Five Guards of the Junzhou Province, while the deputy commander of the Five Guards of the Junzhou Province has not yet arranged anyone.
Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Chen Wu and Guan Sheng were temporarily appointed as the commander of the Imperial Guards of Congzhou, Pan Zhang, Ding Feng, Tao Siliang, Tao Siyuan and Tao Sipeng were temporarily appointed as the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards of Congzhou.
Congzhou Prefecture is adjacent to the original Dongcong Kingdom, but the Dongcong Kingdom is currently occupied by the Jinluo Kingdom. Therefore, in the reorganization of the Five Guards of Congzhou, Li Bin paid more attention than the Five Guards of Congzhou, and at least he appointed a deputy commander to the Five Guards of Congzhou.
In addition, Jiang Qin was appointed as the commander of the Navy of the Three Prefectures by Li Bin. Li Bin attached great importance to this navy. Not only did he hand over the 60 5,000-material merchant ships, 200 3,000-material merchant ships and 400 2,000-material merchant ships obtained from the Jinluo Kingdom to the navy for conversion into warships and troop transport ships, he also allocated a huge sum of money to build new warships.
Pei Yuanqing, Xiong Kuohai and Lu Zhishen were left by Li Bin. Pei Yuanqing and Xiong Kuohai will temporarily serve as the commander of the guard camp, while Lu Zhishen will assist Li Bin in managing the forty-eight wolf generals.
Li Bin reorganized his personal guards in Jinluo City and directly expanded into a personal guard camp. More than 2,000 strong soldiers were selected from the twenty Fuzhen towns and five Dongcong towns, and Pei Yuanqing and Xiong Kuohai were given training.
In the past few months, the generals under Li Bin have been training twenty Fushan towns and five Dongcong towns, and have also discovered many charming talents.
When twenty Fuzhen Towns and five Dongcong Towns were reorganized into the Imperial Guards of the Three Prefectures, with the recommendation of the generals, many Fuzhen people and Dongcong people became high-level generals such as the battalion and brigade rule.
However, in general, the 15th Guard Imperial Army formed by Li Bin still lacks a large number of generals who can lead troops.
Therefore, when Xie Boyan, the Ministry of War, left Fuzhen City, Li Bin sent Xiong Kuohai to follow Xie Boyan back to Dayan. In addition to taking Li Bin's generals who left the cavalry guards back to Sanzhou Prefecture, Xiong Kuohai also asked Xiong Kuohai to tell Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong and others that if possible, a group of officers from the cavalry guards would be dug up to Sanzhou Prefecture.
In addition, Xiongkuohai has another task, which is to bring Xie Yingying and his son back to Sanzhou Prefecture as much as possible.
Although the army of the former Fujun Kingdom had very weak combat power, the weapons and equipment were equipped very well. After the Jinluo Kingdom annexed Fujun Kingdom, these excellent weapons and equipment fell into the hands of the Jinluo army.
Only a small number of them were transported back to the Jinluo Kingdom. Some of the weapons, armor and crossbows seized by Li Bin in the warehouse of the Ministry of War of the Jinluo Kingdom were transported from Fujun Kingdom to Jinluo City.
After Li Bin's army took over the cities of the original Fujun Kingdom from the Jinluo army, he obtained a large amount of weapons and equipment from the original Fujun army. There were 150,000 pairs of infantry heavy armors that imitated the Dayan alone, and over one million other armors.
With the weapons and equipment seized in Jinluo City and the "wealth" left by the original Fuzhen army, the fifteen guards and imperial guards of the three prefectures were more than enough.
The former Fujun Kingdom had tens of thousands of craftsmen who made weapons, armor, and crossbows. Li Bin also brought out 60,000 craftsmen from Jinluo City, which made the 15th Guards of the Three Mansions look like a tiger. Li Bin even prepared to put 1.2 million officers and soldiers of the 15th Guards of the Three Mansions wear iron armor.
Li Bin now has only about 1.1 million pairs of iron armor in his hand, and the remaining 1.3 million pairs of armor are all leather armor. Only if the craftsmen need to produce 100,000 pairs of iron armor, can the Imperial Guards of the Three Prefectures, like the other Imperial Guards of Dayan, be covered with iron armor.
If the officers and soldiers are willing, they can also put on a layer of leather armor in the iron armor.
Of course, just having excellent weapons and equipment is not enough for an army, otherwise the hundreds of thousands of troops of the original Fuzhou Kingdom would not have been defeated so quickly.
Li Bin asked his generals to train the fifteen guards of the three prefectures to death, and would rather die of exhaustion during training than be killed by the enemy on the battlefield like a pig or dog.
Although Li Bin promised to allow the Dayan court to appoint civil officials at all levels to Fuzhou Prefecture, Xiangzhou Prefecture, and Congzhou Prefecture to govern the local area, before the officials appointed by the Dayan court arrived, the government affairs of Fuzhou Prefecture, Xiangzhou Prefecture, and Congzhou Prefecture could not be handled without anyone else. So Li Bin activated a large number of officials from the former Fuzhou Prefecture to maintain the government affairs of Fuzhou Prefecture, Xiangzhou Prefecture, and Congzhou Prefecture.
When dealing with many government affairs in Fuzhou Prefecture, Junzhou Prefecture, and Congzhou Prefecture, Li Bin felt deeply the disadvantage of not having any counselors and civil servants around him. There were hundreds of official documents that Li Bin needed to process every day, which made Li Bin's head big.
Many of the official documents that Li Bin needed to handle were confidential, and Li Bin was worried about asking the distrustful civil servants to help. Later, Li Bin had an idea and moved the piles of official documents to the back house, asking his concubines to help screen them, and selected important documents for Li Bin to personally review and approve them. Some unimportant documents were discussed and approved by the concubines.
When he was in Jinluo City, in addition to Concubine Yan in the original Fuzhen Kingdom's harem, Empress Shen Xiuyan and Concubine Shu, Concubine De, Concubine Xian, Concubine Zhen, Concubine Hui, Concubine Li and Concubine Hua were all taken as concubines by Li Bin.
There are also nine concubines and nine concubines in the harem of the former Fujun Kingdom. Although Li Bin did not promise to accept them as concubines, these nine concubines and nine concubines now follow Li Bin to live in the mansion of the former Fujun Kingdom's Left Prime Minister's Mansion.
Fujun Country was originally known for its many beauties. The twenty-seven concubines in the harem of Fujun Country were selected through thousands of choices, all of which were Tianxiang. Among them, the appearance of the queen Shen Xiuyan and the eight imperial concubines was not even weaker than Li Bin's wife Xie Yingying.
Even the nine concubines and nine concubines were not inferior to the queen Shen Xiuyan and the eight imperial concubines in terms of appearance.
Queen Shen Xiuyan and the eight imperial concubines were still very happy to be Li Bin's concubines. After all, their identities were there, and it was already a gift from God to have such a destination.
When the nine concubines and nine Jieyu Concubines were in Jinluo City, they were very envious of the queen Shen Xiuyan and the eight imperial concubines who could become Li Bin's concubines. This time, Li Bin directly let eighteen of them live in the mansion of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion of Fujun State together, which made the nine concubines and nine Jieyu Concubines very excited. To outsiders, the eighteen of them were already no different from Li Bin's concubines.
As for the other women of Fujun rescued from Jinluo City, Li Bin did not make things difficult for them too much. If there were family members among them, Li Bin would let them leave unconditionally and let them go to join their families. Unfortunately, most of these women of Fujun have already lost their families.
Li Bin did not arbitrarily assign these women from the Fujun country to their generals. Li Bin set rules for the generals under his command that if anyone wants to marry a woman from the Fujun country as his wife or wants to take a woman from the Fujun country as his concubine, he must obtain the consent of the Fujun country.
Now the generals who followed Li Bin have brought back several women from Fujun to their homes. For example, with his handsome appearance, Lu Bu not only married the Crown Princess of the former Fujun as his wife, but also took 16 women from Fujun as concubines, including two princesses who had married and a princess.
If Li Bin hadn't told Lu Bu implicitly, he would have to leave a sip of soup for the brothers who stayed in Dayan territory. Li Bin felt that Lu Bu would have no problem with taking dozens of concubines.
In fact, most of these women in Fujun hope to become Li Bin's concubines. After all, Li Bin's identity is there. Although Li Bin's appearance is ordinary and a fat man, just the identity of the Grand Governor of the Three Prefectures can cover up all the shortcomings in the previous ones.
However, among the 340 women of Fujie Kingdom, Li Bin selected twenty-seven concubines from the original Fujie Kingdom harem. The other women of Fujie Kingdom were quite beautiful, and Li Bin was not moved. In fact, they were nine concubines and nine concubines. If it weren't for the original Fujie Kingdom Empress Shen Xiuyan who blew the pillow to Li Bin, Li Bin would not have been prepared to accept them as concubines.
Li Bin felt that taking one more concubine would have to spend more energy. Since he took someone as a concubine, he couldn't ignore him!
Since the nine concubines and nine Jieyu Concubines were nominally women of the former emperor of Fujun, even the generals under Li Bin did not dare to marry them home considering the issue of avoiding suspicion. If Li Bin did not take nine concubines and nine Jieyu Concubines as concubines, they might have to be with Qingdeng Guying in the end.
The former queen of Fujun Kingdom, Shen Xiuyan, was the woman who pulled Concubine Yan in her sleeve when she first met Li Bin and questioned Li Bin.
Shen Xiuyan has a gentle personality and elegant temperament. She is definitely the type of a good wife and mother. After Li Bin took Shen Xiuyan as his concubine, he loved her very much.
Shen Xiuyan knew very well that the identities of the nine concubines and the nine concubines were a bit awkward. Only Li Bin could take them as concubines. Shen Xiuyan was gentle and kind, and got along very well with the concubines in the harem of the original Fujun Kingdom. She couldn't bear to see the nine concubines and the nine concubines often accompanied by the green lamp and lonely shadow, so she persuaded Li Bin to take eighteen of them as concubines.
The twenty-seven concubines in Li Bin's back house were all from ladies, and many of them were proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The piles of official documents that Li Bin moved to the back house were handled quite properly by these concubines, which made Li Bin much easier.
When Xie Boyan, a member of the Ministry of War, left Fuzhen City, something happened that made Li Bin quite upset.
Li Bin's father, Li Zhao and second uncle Li Lie, actually wanted to go back to Dayan with Xie Boyan, and also returned to the left guard to continue to serve as deputy battalion and team leader.
Li Bin smiled wryly and said to his father Li Zhao: "Dad, now the new imperial guards of Fuzhou Prefecture, Jingzhou Prefecture, and Congzhou Prefecture are being formed. You are not even a problem if you want to be the commander of the first guard. Why do you need to go back to the left guard to be a small deputy battalion leader!"
Li Zhao pondered for a long time before saying to Li Bin in a deep voice: "Since your second uncle and I have already worshipped Ma Shuai as our lords, we must return to Ma Shuai's command. In addition, I would like to remind you to my father that my Li family has been loyal and kind for generations, and I don't want to raise a traitor myself!"
Li Bin said with a depressed look on his face: "Dad, you also know how much wealth I have obtained in Jinluo City. If I don't take advantage of this opportunity to control enough military power, this huge amount of wealth will become my death talisman!"
