Chapter 752: No Strength, Wu Dalang, Tong Guan
Tong Guan can make some contributions to the Sanzhi Imperial Guard, but he must not take the big head. Because Sanzhi Imperial Guard is not an ordinary Imperial Guard, but an Imperial Guard under the jurisdiction of the Palace Front Office. He is a personal soldier who directly protects the emperor.
In the power structure that restricts each other among the ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Palace Front Office and the Hemen Office have always been the territory of Kaifeng Generals. Gao Qiu and Wu Haogu are now used as scraps of Kaifeng Generals, so they can serve as chiefs of the Sanzhi Army.
Tong Guan is just an eunuch without eggs. If he has a huge influence in the Sanzhi Army, then Zhao Ji will see a "Lieutenant Tong of the Shence Army". Do Tong Guan's head still want?
Therefore, Tong Guan did not dare to take the first merits of the Wuding River Battle into his hands, otherwise he would be joking about his six pounds and four ounces.
Looking at Wu Haogu's troubled expression, Zhao Zhongge sighed: "The army of the three-speed army in the front three are really sharp. Not only the knights but also the warriors are strong, but even the subordinate soldiers have been trained. Those knights who have been in the military science department for three years are even more amazing. They are all seeds of good generals. In this battle of Tongwancheng, without the government soldiers they brought, it would be difficult for us to win.
These soldiers in the palace... are not from the Sanzhi Imperial Army, right? The Palace Front Office does not provide any salary, so the Chief Tong probably wants a Shuofang Army. It's a pity that the knights who lead the troops are all generals."
Brother Zhao Zhong had something to say, but Wu Haogu was stunned at first, and then he had a great enlightenment expression. Brother Zhao Zhong wanted to trade 10,000 combat soldiers and Tong Guan.
Tong Guan is now the governor of Shuofang Road, and he probably has to stay on Shuofang Road for several years before he can go back. And the Sanzhi Imperial Guard cannot stay on Shuofang Road all the time. They are the troops of the Palace Front Division. If they are always staying in the northwest, can't the Western Army be the ones?
When the Sanzhi Army leaves, who can Tong Guan rely on? Do they rely on the old foxes of the Western Army? The Western Army can be used, but Tong Guan cannot rely on them. He must have his own team, otherwise his status will be very unreliable, so Tong Guan is best to establish a Shuofang Army!
With the Shuofang Army, Tong Guan has real strength and can only go to a higher level in the future.
By the way, although the military eunuchs of the Northern Song Dynasty could not be involved in the Kaifeng Imperial Army with the front army as the core, they could be involved in the border army. Therefore, Tong Guan's control of the Shuofang Army was allowed by the policy.
Where did the Shuofang Army come from? It seems that it has to be derived from the Sanzhi Imperial Army's Mansion.
The Sanzhi Imperial Guard also sounds quite chaotic. There are serious knights in front of the hall, knights' entourage, Jurchen Gundam and the Bible River Knights (including the fakes), warriors fighting for houses, Bible River utility soldiers hired for money, and craftsman functions for engineer commands, but the largest number of people is the Mansion soldiers.
Among them, the knights in front of the palace and the house slaves were equipped with the Sanzhi Army, with less than 6,000 people, and the remaining 20,000 people were not organized, and they were not real Sanzhi Imperial Guards. Therefore, Wu Haogu did not have to bring these 20,000 unorganized ones back to Kaifeng Prefecture, and no one cared about the food when he brought them back...
But the combat effectiveness of these people cannot be ignored!
"What does Zhong Ge'er mean is to give 10,000 soldiers to Chief Tong?"
"Yes!" Zhao Zhongge nodded, "With these 10,000 people, the Prime Minister of the Tong Daguan can be stable. Otherwise, they are all from the Western Army. How much effort does he have to take to sit steadily as an alien eunuch?"
"But the soldiers are all knights!" Wu Haogu said thinking, "If you leave them in Shuofang, are there too few knights in front of the palace?"
"Use Gao Qiu's black armored knight to fill it out." Zhao Zhongge said, "You can also let the black armored knights go to the Piyong Academy to learn military affairs, so that Taiwei Gao will have his own strength."
Wu Haogu nodded and showed his smile: "It's the best. Tong Daguan and Gao Shiyan both have their own strength, but I don't seem to have military strength, so the officials will be reused with confidence."
Brother Zhao Zhong smiled faintly and followed Wu Haogu's words: "Your Highness, of course, you have strength, but this strength cannot be placed in the clear place, right? In fact, this battle of Wuding River, military command is the greatest hero, and this command is also the greatest strength of the Sanzhi Imperial Guard! The second hero is the commander of two engineers. Without them blowing up the wall of the throne, we would not be able to sit here now. The second hero is the dozens of Jurchen knights and the head of state, your fake... The Western thief was proud of the Iron Harrier, who was defeated by their more than 200 cavalry! If it weren't for the tens of thousands of troops led by Cha Ge nearby, just three thousand Iron Harrier, they might have all been wiped out by them.
The head of state won’t hand over these three strengths, right?”
Brother Zhao Zhong didn’t ask any questions casually, but was examining Wu Haogu!
"Of course not!" Wu Haogu smiled, "I handed over everything. How can I sweep Yanyun and Liaodong in the future and how can I show off overseas islands? I have already thought about all the military opportunities. I will then transfer a group of knights who have served as heads of the palace soldiers and all of them will be transferred to Yuntai Academy and Biyong Academy as professors, mainly to Yuntai Academy Jiehe Branch.
The dashmen who participated in the war all went to the Knights' School under Yuntai Academy to study while serving as equestrian coaches. They also had to teach them fields so that they could all be knights in Jiehe Shang City.
Wanyan Xie is waiting for the Jurchen knights, so please keep them as much as possible.”
He paused and said, "As for the personnel under the command of the two engineers, they can be absorbed through the construction school and the opening of a mine smelting farm in Xuzhou."
Wu Haogu's idea is to start with talent training, and to draw the elites among knight officers and knights into the academy system, and train them into military instructors to cultivate a new generation of military elites. The same method is also used for technical talents in engineer command, and they must be held in their hands. Not only should they be held in their hands, but they should also be allowed to cultivate a new generation of talents through school management.
The schools run by Wu Haogu are the biggest difference from all other schools in the Song Dynasty, that is, these schools are all "research-oriented". Because they are all schools with "Personal Theory" as the guiding ideology, they have quite strong research capabilities. Don't underestimate this kind of breakthrough in philosophical thinking. Without positivism and scientific methods, there is a lack of methods in research and exploration, and it is difficult to develop.
Scientific research includes natural sciences and social sciences. Military science is a typical social science category and can be improved through research, exploration and practice.
For example, the experience and lessons of this Battle of Wuding River are enough to allow the professors of Yuntai Academy and Knights to study for several years. The results they have developed by themselves are more valuable than the ancient gold fingers of Wu Haoqiu!
Brother Zhao Zhong listened quietly, and after a while, he smiled: "Okay, after Mo Jiang returns to Jiehe, you will preside over the Knights' School for the Head of State... Mo Jiang goes to see the Essence, is he too tired? I wonder if he is full now?"
He stood up in a cool manner and bowed with his fists. Although he was a brave warrior, he was actually a child of the Yanyun family, a certain family. He had probably been too busy these days, and had lost weight all over the world. He looked less rough, but he was a little more romantic. He looked at Wu Haogu with a steady look: "Head of the First Emperor, the Qianlong in the Abyss is to accumulate momentum, and the accumulation of momentum is to soar into the sky! The last general and all military opportunities are willing to establish great achievements with the First Emperor!"
When Wu Haogu heard Brother Zhao Zhong's words, he was stunned and finally nodded silently.
If a person like Zhao Zhongge is willing to follow his family, he will naturally have a plan. What he wants is a great achievement... I don’t know what kind of achievement can be considered great in his eyes?
While the two were speechless, they heard hurried footsteps outside again, and the voice of the Luohan maid: "Master, Master! Sister Bai and the others are here!"
...
Wu Haogu joined the army as a rich man, so he naturally could not be too hard and simple. Otherwise, the people below would think you were stingy, and the people above would think that you were "without taking anything from money and women had no luck, so their ambitions were not small." In short, it was because they were not people inside and outside, and their heads were about to move.
So Wu Haogu brought Bai Feifei, the Kaifeng Caucasian, to the expedition together, and not only brought Bai Feifei, but also asked Bai Feifei to organize a camp gang and go to the northwest.
However, Wu Haogu did not let Bai Feifei and her friends come to the battle, but left them in a relatively backward place. At first, it was placed in Yan'an, and later it was placed in Shicheng in Yinzhou. Only after the Battle of Tongwan was over, people were asked to recruit Bai Feifei and others to Tongwan.
The main purpose of recruiting Bai Feifei to Tongwan was to prepare a celebration banquet. The battle of Tongwan was not only a fierce battle, but also a hard battle. Finally, the brothers of the Sanzhi Army took it down. Now, we should not let everyone have fun?
In addition to preparing for the celebration banquet, Bai Feifei is also Wu Haogu's official socialite, which is not a trivial matter. She is the head of the Kaifeng Prefecture, and is very familiar with Gao Qiu, Tong Guan and others. She knows Wang Laojun's strategist, Wang Xiaojun's strategist, and the Eastern Front commander Tao Jiefu. She also has a way to talk from them and find out their thoughts. Sometimes she can also serve as a bridge for bribery...
Therefore, among Wu Haogu's group, Bai Feifei, Yan Po'er, who is now staying in Jiehe, and Mo Niangzi, who has already hosted Christie's, are all indispensable roles.
"Feifei," After seeing Bai Feifei, Wu Haogu immediately assigned her a task, "Tonight, I will host a banquet, Tong Daofu and Gao Shiyan."
"Master," Bai Feifei flew with a blessing, "Will the banquet tonight be held or a family dinner?"
"Set up a family banquet," said Wu Haogu, "You come and do it. If you need it, go find the Arhat maid.
In addition, you will send the invitations to Tong Daofu and Gao Shiyan in person, so that no one who has nothing to do will know about this."
