Chapter 519: You Thistle Defense
The matter of Youji Sixteen Prefectures was solved without a single soldier. The matter was going too fast, making the commanders of Youzhou feel that the court was too efficient this time.
In the Grand Governor's Office, the high-level meeting has been held for several days in the past few days, mainly studying the matter of taking over the Sixteen Prefectures of Youji.
Especially the arrangement of troops, the territory of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youji is quite large. Even if there are 200,000 Youzhou City, it is really a big problem to spread the distance between them.
With the speed of wolf smoke, it is really not necessary for the Turkish horse team to come in time. Moreover, if the signal of wolf smoke is discovered by the enemy, it is easy to make mistakes.
The relatively reliable one is the pigeon network, but it is not that simple to train pigeons to deliver messages. If the pigeons fly out, they may be able to fly back, but no one knows where they fly.
Li De considered this when he founded the Red Peony. There were not a shortage of pigeons, but the number was very small. Even if the message was transmitted, it was transmitted through two different channels.
It is to prevent people from tampering with the delivery method.
Now the defense issues in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youji are also facing the problem of remote messaging, and several lieutenants are actively thinking of solutions.
"No, I want to lead troops to fight but I'm not good at defending the city. Don't mention me about He Bida. I think you are very calm and suitable for defending the city."
He Bida and others discussed the matter of sending the Sixteen Prefectures of Youji. He Bida wanted Shi Huaiyi and the others to defend the garrison, but the effect was not good and no one was willing to stay in the rear.
Stay away from the battlefield, how can they make achievements?
Most of them think so, and their only advantage is to be in charge, but none of the vanguards and other lieutenants were willing to go.
They are not stupid. Once they take charge of their own side, their pattern development will be the end. They are all smart. They think that the current development trend of Youzhou will not take long to fight against the Turks for the safety of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youji.
If they stay behind, they will be able to charge and become successful, how can they be promoted and made money?
"He Bida What's your idea? Even if you divide the troops and garrison it, how to distribute the logistics? Can you ensure that the local government you govern can provide you with enough fees?" Ding Qilin said.
He Bida wanted to divide his troops to garrison so that if an enemy came to invade them, they could mobilize the surrounding troops at any time and not act hastily.
Ding Qilin had a different idea. He felt that the soldiers and horses in Youzhou City could not leave easily. Although there were many advantages in separating troops, they could stabilize people's hearts and have a deterrent effect.
However, logistics, information transmission, and power control are not conducive to the development of the pioneer soldiers. Once the time is long, the Sixteen Prefectures of Youji may be the country among the foreign countries.
The kind that is easy to split.
"Grandmaster, are you here to make an idea?" Ding Qilin said.
"What you said these days is very reasonable. I decided to set up a small number of troops to station in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youji. The task is to assist in the defense of the prefecture and prevent the enemy." Li Dedao.
"How many people are needed?" He Bida asked.
"Each state prefecture has assigned a personal guard with two thousand people." Li Dedao.
There are 30,000 people, but a lot of them are all personal guards. These people are definitely a great force when they gather together. There are only two thousand soldiers and horses scattered to various prefectures, which should not be underestimated.
"Governor, two thousand people in each prefecture seem to be insufficient." He Bida said.
"Who said that there are only two thousand personal soldiers in the prefecture? You have a task to go there. I want to turn these 30,000 soldiers into 300,000 soldiers." Li Dedao.
Li Jing listened aside and said that his brain capacity might not be enough. Thirty thousand soldiers turned into 300,000 soldiers and horses, and the only thing he could think of was recruitment.
By then, the vanguard will have 500,000 troops, and many things will be irreversible. Li Jing is very clear in his heart. He knows that such a thing cannot be said, and the problem in front of him is to solve the problem of defense.
"Grandmaster, recruiting troops requires a lot of food and wages. Should we charge less?" Wei Li said.
He also supervises the affairs of the Pioneer Soldiers and knows a lot about the financial affairs of the Pioneer Soldiers.
"Don't worry about food and salary, and I didn't say that you would recruit people if you arrived. I will first implement the official system of each prefecture and prefecture according to the Youzhou system. The talent needs should be screened according to the Youzhou City. Those who have no knowledge but have a clear understanding of the text will be allowed to participate in the recruit training." Li Dedao.
The handover of management rights is the top priority.
Each state prefecture sends two thousand personal guards enough. If anyone dares to cause trouble, he can only hand it over to the lieutenants to deal with it. After arriving at the local state prefecture, he will hand over it and post a notice as soon as possible.
Officials who remain in office must undergo assessment and recruit talents for internships. All assessment results and recruitment situations are summarized in Youzhou.
The internship talents will not have much authority, and they are all assessments for the people. If anything happens, the officials will have to talk to the lieutenants.
When doing these things, the Governor's Office will also send officials to inspect and register and verify the situation one by one. This matter is left to Li Shimin, but not only Li Shimin's people but also the vanguard soldiers' people are supervising.
After studying these things, Li De asked the lieutenants to prepare. The troops stationed were led by the lieutenants, and Youzhou sent three lieutenants to summarize these things.
In addition to the 30,000 soldiers and horses, each of the three governors took away 10,000 soldiers and horses, which left 140,000 soldiers and horses in Youzhou City.
In a week, 60,000 troops arrived at various prefectures, and the commanders led by He Bida, Shi Huaiyi and Gao Cheng.
He Bida has a sense of the overall situation and can distribute troops reasonably even if there is something to do. Shi Huaiyi is useful and he is not a tough person at a critical moment.
Gao Cheng's mission this time was to assist in patrolling the Turkic invasion, so the troops he led were a moving patrol team.
At this time, the Luo family and the guests were seated, and the banquet was He Bida and three others.
"He is polite to the Lord of the Luo family. We are ordered to do our job. The matter of getting the Luo family to help us will be handled smoothly." He Bida said.
"Your Majesty's will, the will of the people, is the great governor's ability to take charge of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youji, is a blessing for us and the people. If you can use it, just speak up."
He Bida was very happy to hear the head of the Luo family say so politely. The key to relying on the Luo family's reputation is that it will play a great role in attracting talents.
Don’t forget that the Luo family itself has a deep family background, so there are naturally many scholars, which is a great help.
"It is a blessing for us to have the help of the Luo family. If there is something really to be solved by the Luo family," said He Bida.
