Chapter 324 Garrison Padang
Now, except for Yang Shifan, no one in Wuping is my opponent. As long as Song State does not interfere, I have a way to deal with Yang Shifan!"
Zhang Wenbiao had already planned and even saw who had threatened him. Now he would take action immediately when Song Jun left. Zhou Baoquan would not have time to react.
However, what surprised him was that when Song Jun walked to Jiangling, he suddenly stopped leaving and stopped there!
Looking at the Three Gorges in front of him, Guo Hao was intrigued and wanted to write a poem improvised, but he couldn't remember which poem did not appear at this time.
"Yuan Long, look at the scenery of the Three Gorges, how magnificent the water of the Yangtze River is so turbulent here. If this water power can be used by people, it can be compared with the power of tens of thousands of people!"
When Zhao Kuangyin heard that Guo Hao wanted to use water, he subconsciously felt that it was unrealistic. After all, this place was not a stream. The Yangtze River was a river that had flowed for thousands of years. He nurtured the Chinese nation and also brought many disasters to the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
"If the order is sent, the army will not leave. I plan to establish the first military region here, just to use the hydraulic power here, and at the same time, let the Ministry of Works send two people to study and study."
Human wisdom is infinite. Since Guo Hao became emperor, he has to do too many things. Many things are just the beginning and it looks very inconspicuous.
For example, the construction of academies is nothing to see now. Ten years of cultivation and a hundred years of education are a long-term project.
Another thing is the establishment of the technology tree. Artillery is the first thing he asked the Ministry of Works to study. In history, firearms in the Song Dynasty had begun to be used, but their power was average.
It was not until the Yuan Dynasty that artillery officially appeared, so Guo Hao introduced the concept of artillery in advance and took two years to create two qualified products.
But with the beginning, Guo Hao believed that the speed in the future would get faster and faster, and at the same time, there would be muskets. Guo Hao jumped over the medley and guided the craftsmen to make a flintlock rifle.
All he did was for future wars, but the heat weapons were a double-edged sword. Only he knew about this at present, because he was afraid that once the heat weapons were popularized, they would eventually hurt himself.
So weapons are only one aspect, and there are more good things to study. The Three Gorges are full of hydraulic power and can be fully utilized. He set up a military district here to protect research and find something for these soldiers, while also shocking the southern regime.
"Your Majesty, if you want to set up a military district, who will be the garrison here?"
Guo Hao pondered for a while after hearing this, and said, "Let Tingrang be the general here. Then he sent a military supervisor to be responsible for the ideological work of the soldiers."
Zhao Kuangyin nodded. It seemed that Guo Hao had not forgotten their old brothers. He heard Guo Hao say about the military region that a military region must have at least 20,000 troops stationed, and the chief general recognized the rank of general and was the third rank.
The military supervisor is a civil servant who is responsible for internal affairs regardless of war, but he is in charge of the office level of the general, which is from the second rank.
Guo Hao did this naturally refer to the construction of the army in later generations. Local military officers must be bound by constraints, otherwise rebellion will easily occur.
When the founding of the People's Republic of China, Guo Hao did not dare to do this, for fear of being unable to control himself and create a group of alternative military governors. However, after two years of reform and education, some things have become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The establishment of the Badong Military Region, the first military region of the Song Dynasty, is undoubtedly a signal, indicating that Guo Hao did not give up on military officers and the rumors that civil servants ruled the country were self-defeating.
Guo Hao followed his plan according to his plan, but he didn't think too much about it. He just made Zhang Wenbiao miserable. He was ready for a long time to rebel, but he didn't dare to move.
Guo Hao could not think of a reason, so he simply returned to Bianliang first and left 20,000 troops for Liu Tingrang, and at the same time, he asked him to gather troops from nearby prefectures and counties, with a maximum of no more than 40,000 troops.
After returning to Bianliang, the generals seemed to smell the fishy cats, and they all came to look for Guo Hao. The military general's official position was much more prestigious than that of the governor, and they all wanted it.
"I let you guys learn, have you all learned? They used force to fight before, and this won't work in the future.
Want an official? Go back and wait. Some things are not as simple as you think. You think this general is so easy to be a general, and I don’t care about food and salary!"
Guo Hao is right. The food and salary of the military region needs to be solved by the general and the military supervisor. The Badong Military Region guards Shu, so there is naturally no problem with food, but other places are not that easy.
After sending out the generals, the civil servants came to the door again. Fan Zhi said with some concern: "Your Majesty, we can understand the intention of designing the Badong Military Region, but is there too many 40,000 troops?"
Guo Hao waved his hand when he heard this and said, "Forty thousand is just a limit. If they don't solve the food problem, it will be difficult to maintain 20,000. Besides, I plan to form the Central Military Region and mobilize elite troops from all over the country to the capital, totaling 50,000 to protect the imperial power.
It is reassuring for literati to govern the country, but the power comes from under swords and guns, and without enough force, it is not enough to deter all sides.
