Chapter 1146 Story of Yanxi Palace IV
Ma Zheng, Zhao Zhongge and Murong Mou are now in Tianjin.
Ma Zheng is also the general military aircraft. Zhao Zhongge served as the chief of military academics, while Murong Mu was the chief military officer of the Republic's government, that is, the military and political affairs of the Youzhou army, and the military order system is becoming increasingly mature. At the highest position in this system, of course, Wu Haogu, the governor of the Republic's government. According to the Republican Constitution, the chief military officer of the Youzhou army. Under the chief military officer is the chief military officer of the military order, the chief military officer of the military education, and the chief military officer of the military affairs.
These three positions and their related offices are actually mutually restrained and cooperated with each other.
The General Military Vehicle Department is responsible for formulating combat and training plans, conveying military orders through military opportunities at all levels.
The Military Affairs Office is responsible for recruiting soldiers, purchasing equipment, raising logistics supplies, appointing and mobilizing officers and other military government affairs management.
The Military Academy Director is responsible for military education, including the Knights Primary School, the Knights Academy, the Naval Academy and various non-military schools funded by the Republican government, and are all managed by the Military Academy Director.
In addition to the decentralization and mutual system at the top of the military, there are also corresponding constraint mechanisms at all levels of the military. The two most important mechanisms are the rotation system of officers and the general system.
The basis of the former is the standardization and institutionalization of military education and management, so that officers of the same military can rotate between different troops and different positions. This will prevent long-term employment and cultivate forces Wu Haogu himself used Zhao Ji's trust and rough diligence to master military power and evolve into a vassal state. Of course, he had to be careful that his subordinates would follow suit!
The latter is also to prevent separatist rule. The so-called general system is the general term for the military and military system. The military system is to set up the military and military system according to the region in Youzhou. The military and matriarchs that have been established currently include the Tianjin Prefecture Military and Matriarchs, Yanshan Prefecture Military and Matriarchs, Lushun Prefecture Military and Matriarchs, Andong Prefecture Military and Matriarchs, Eastern Yanshan Prefecture Military and Matriarchs, Western Yanshan Prefecture Military and Matriarchs, Northern Yanshan Prefecture Military and Matriarchs, and Northeast Yanshan Prefecture Military and Matriarchs.
The Bingmasi is responsible for the jurisdiction of local militias, local knights, government soldiers, and local defense and bandit suppression. Of course, they do not necessarily directly establish contact with the Knights and government soldiers in the village. Only the Knight households and government soldiers directly under the military affairs office of the Republican Mansion are directly under the control of the Bingmasi. The Knight households and government soldiers who are dependent on the twelve Duguan housekeepers are themselves under the control of the Duguan house, and the Bingmasi contacts the Duguan house to discuss matters such as local defense, militia and recruiting Duguan army.
The general system refers to field troops based on "generals". The current Youzhou Army has a total of two cavalry generals and five infantry generals. Although these seven generals are not satisfied with their staff, there are only large gaps in the absence of salary, including unpaid knights, temporary auxiliary soldiers, and few officers are short of staff, which is enough to maintain the stance of the troops and can also urge the arrangement of knights and the government soldiers to conduct strict training.
Unless the seven generals are in power, the General Military Affairs Office and the General Military Affairs Office jointly signed by the Republican Government, the General Military Affairs Office and the Military Affairs Office will not have a mutually governed relationship with the local military officials.
Through these measures, the Youzhou Army was basically controlled by the Republican government. The twelve capitals that were enfeoffed could not threaten the rule of the Republican government. In fact, due to limited financial resources, the twelve capitals have been streamlining their own army for more than a year. On average, the one-way capitals can maintain hundreds of knight households and two thousand military households.
They do not have the commercial tax and protection fees paid by Ji Yi in Tianjin. If they distribute the land to the knights, what else can their own children enjoy? Moreover, each state has a military service obligation to the Republican government and needs to provide a certain number of knights and government troops to join the seven generals and eight soldiers directly under the Republican government. Therefore, the armed forces that can be controlled by each state are only 2,000 people at the top of the sky. It is impossible to resist the Republican government with tens of thousands of permanent troops.
Moreover, there are also three "Yuan Cong" families in the twelve capitals. They are not only vassals, but also big bourgeoisie. They have far more interests in Tianjin than in their own fiefdoms. Of course, there is no possibility of betraying the republican government.
In addition, the Zhang family in Pingzhou also has great interests in Tianjin. Zhang Jue, the second-ranked figure of the Zhang family, is now in charge of the Republican government, just like Zhao Zhongge, Murong Mu, and Ximen Anguo. He was appointed as the general manager of the northern Yan army and the affairs of Wujiakou.
...
After receiving Wu Haogu's order, Brother Zhao Zhong, Murong Mu and Ma Zheng quickly rushed to the Republican Government Building.
"Yelu Yanxi is about to give birth to Jurchens!"
After the three of them sat down, Wu Haogu began to discuss business with them without waiting for the tea to come.
Wu Haogu's group is a new generation and has no red tape. It pays attention to efficiency in everything, and is relatively equal within it. Brother Zhao Zhong, Murong Mu and Ma Zheng are now sitting face to face with Wu Haogu and talking.
"How to move?" Brother Zhao Zhong asked the first question.
"It should be a personal expedition," Wu Haogu gave him Alihe Ren's letter, "Gather the army in Xia Nabo land, and send troops to the tiger water after autumn."
"If this is the case, the Liao Kingdom will be finished..." Brother Zhao Zhong read the letter at a glance and handed it to Murong Mu again.
"Is there any possibility of winning?" Wu Haogu asked.
"No." Brother Zhao Zhong replied firmly.
"King," Murong Mu also read the letter and handed it to Ma Zheng. He said, "Yelu Yanxi's best strategy is not to move. As long as it moves, it is a bad strategy!"
While reading the letter, Ma Zheng added: "It's not just that we don't move, we have to shrink. The tighter we shrink, the longer we live... Anyway, with the support of the Song Dynasty court, they don't need to occupy so much broken territory at all."
Wu Haogu can now understand the words of the three of them and agree with their views. No matter how many troops Yelu Yanxi sent to attack the Jurchens, the result will be the same, and he will be defeated and returned.
Even without a decisive battle to determine life and death like Bu Dagang, the birth of the Jurchens would have dragged down Yelu Yanxi through a protracted battle.
It would be impossible to avoid the 700,000 army. Just 200,000 army stayed outside the old forest in the northeast for a few months. A group of people fought against Liao, and Yelu Yanxi and the Liao court went bankrupt.
How much consumption does a 200,000 army have to be consumed every day! Logistics must be transported from Liaoyang Prefecture, and there is no waterway, so people have to be mobilized to use large trucks to replenish supplies. How many people and carriages must be used! Wu Haogu himself is the leader of the three armies, and he knows how big the logistics pit is.
A big battle like Bu Dagang is actually a waste of the Liao Kingdom's vitality. If you win, your vitality will be severely damaged. If you drag it on for a long time, you will be defeated by a battle. The ending is actually similar.
The only way to survive is to carry out mobile defense, first shrink, give up areas with little economic value, shrink to the Linhuang Prefecture and Liaohe area of Shangjing, rely on the fortress and cavalry group to actively defend, and throw logistical pressure to the Jurchens. This way, the Jurchens can be slowly dragged down...
Of course, adopting such a tactic will put Yelu Yanxi under great internal pressure. The loss of Youzhou has already made Yelu Yanxi frustrated. If it hadn't been barely robbed half of Hedong, it would have caused Xiao Jiang to suffer disaster now.
"He also has to fight!" Wu Haogu sighed softly, as if he was sympathetic to Yelu Yanxi, the unlucky guy. "If you don't fight, you can't fight, you'll fight... Haha, you will definitely lose! Brother Zhong, Brother Fifth, Zhongfu, what should we do? Or not send troops? If you want to send troops, where will you send troops?"
"Of course we have to send troops!" Zhao Zhongge said, "We should still conquer the territory as soon as possible... If we want to send troops, it will be Liaodong and western Liaoning. We can send troops from Lushun Prefecture first to take Fuzhou, Ningzhou, and Zhenhai Prefecture. If we still have enough energy, we will take Baozhou, Xuanzhou and Dingzhou on the Yalu River together."
At this time, the western border dividing line between the Liao Kingdom and Goryeo was not the Yalu River. The Liao Kingdom also had two lands in the south of the Yalu River. It was probably the Yizhou, Xinyizhou and Yongchuan areas of the later North Korea. The rivers and coasts there were good plains, and the transportation was very convenient.
"You have to take it at your disposal," Wu Hao Gudao, "or the Koreans would have to take advantage."
"King, my subordinates also agree to attack in Liaodong." Ma Zheng said, "but you have to wait until Yelu Yanxi's defeat before attacking, so that you can easily take over the territory."
When fighting, you always need to take shortcuts. If you can bleed less, you will bleed less.
Wu Haogu turned his gaze to Murong Tu, who frowned and said, "If troops were sent from Liaodong, who would be the head coach? Huang Silang has no generals.
Moreover, the cost of garrisoning Lushun is not enough! Lushun and Tianjin are all connected by sea traffic. The wind direction is wrong and the weather is frozen, which will interrupt traffic, making information difficult. Therefore, our army must be stationed in Lushun in advance, and all kinds of materials must be transported in advance... If we want to transfer a general infantry, a general cavalry, including auxiliary soldiers, there will be 18,000 people, and more than 20,000 horses. There are countless food and supplies. The required military expenses are also a huge amount!"
I have to spend money again... 18,000 people stayed in Liaodong for a year, and the personnel expenses and food expenses alone were millions!
"For budget matters, the Military Affairs Office and the General Military Command will discuss and take them out as soon as possible." Wu Haogu said, "When the Senate approves it, it will have its own way to raise it. If it really doesn't work, I will issue bonds... With Tianjin Bank here, it can always be raised. The problem now is that the general of the army is the general, Huang Silang will definitely not work, and I can only trouble you three creepers. Zhongfu, why don't you go there and wait until you are successful, and you will also be granted a capital of Guanzhou."
"King, my subordinates can go to Liaodong," Ma Zheng smiled, "but I don't want to stay in Guanzhou... I have few family members, just a few brothers and three sons, and I can't even take care of the farm. How could I manage a state? When I come back from the war, the king will give me a big mansion in Tianjin Prefecture."
"Okay! One word is determined!"
