Qin Meng discovered that after he had traveled through it, apart from some scientific and technological knowledge of later generations that allowed him to lead this era, the rest was really incomparable with people of this era.
Signing his name, Qin Meng felt terrible.
Needless to say, Yang Guang's handwriting was Yang Lin, who was born in the ranks, and his handwriting was hundreds of times stronger than him.
Although Qin Meng consciously drooped his head to admit counsel, he was still scolded by Yang Lin. How to say it is a talented and literary general. Look at the word written. If you know, you have some skills. If you don't know, you will think You are unlearned.
After being scolded, you should do things but still do things.
This time, because it involved playing Chen Sheng, I didn't dare to order to start the training before I got down.
But the plan is likely to be approved, so it is very necessary to prepare according to the plan.
The flying cavalry is a military brigade that needs a lot of consumption and replenishment. Needless to say, its equipment, food and materials, because it needs to rush for long distances. More need to be fully prepared.
If you only go deep into the grassland, Feiqi only needs to prepare food for the people. The pasture on the grassland is enough to feed the war horses. Just prepare some corn to keep the horse from losing too much fat, and that's it.
But if you want to patrol the northern border of the Sui Dynasty as planned, the horses can't eat fresh pasture at any time. Moreover, in the grasslands of the Sui Dynasty, the composition of weeds is very complicated. Some not only can't be eaten by war horses, but there are even poisonous weeds. If they are misled by war horses, it will be a big problem!
Qin Meng and Yang Guang discussed and suggested to Yang Lin that a forage yard dedicated to flying horses and horses should be set up at the pass from Youzhou to Dunhuang.
Counting the silver, another tens of thousands of taels of silver was thrown out. This does not include the cost of equipping such staff specifically for the forage yard, supplementing forage, and maintaining and repairing it.
Yang Lin's performance was a bit beyond Qin Meng's expectation. When the old man heard this, he didn't even hesitate, so he directly approved and handled it immediately.
Qin Meng could no longer manage the blacksmith team and the gunpowder workshop, and he chose stable candidates from these two places. It is recommended that Yang Lin communicate with the Shaofu Supervisor and formally transfer the blacksmith team and the Gunpowder Workshop to Shaofu Supervisor. Qin Meng only mentioned one requirement, that is, to meet the needs of Feiqi.
In a blink of an eye, in mid-June, news came from the imperial court. According to Yang Lin's suggestion, Yang Jian formally made an order to adjust the soldiers and horses of the northern border of the Sui Dynasty.
At the same time, the documents of the Ministry of War also went to the military and horse divisions in the Northern Territory, stating that the flying cavalry was organized and directly under the jurisdiction of the military headquarters, and was not subject to the control of the northern commander.
At the end of July, the soldiers and horses of the northern border of the Great Sui Dynasty began a large-scale mobilization.
The chief governor Yujuluo led Youzhou in charge, led one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, with Youzhou as the central node, heading northeast and west three directions, according to danger.
Luo Fang, the chief of Lingwu, under his command of 100,000 soldiers and horses, according to Lingwu, Yanchuan, and Jinning, formed a circular arch guard. There is no need to deploy troops to the east. You must guard Wuwei and the west is safe and peaceful.
The intention of Yang Jian’s arrangement is too obvious. Wuwei is no longer as simple as a military hub. The development of border trade has allowed more people from other ethnic groups to reach the northern Central Plains in a peaceful way and witness the strength of the northern Central Plains with their own eyes.
In comparison, the frontier trade is indeed a source of money, but Yang Jian really didn't care about the money. Through this place, the people of his tribe can have a deeper understanding of the Central Plains, and this is what he wants to achieve.
Feiqi, officially named Feixiaojun, has a staff of 10,000, and is directly controlled by Yang Lin, the northern supervising army. The chief will be General Feixiao Left General Qin Meng, and the deputy will be General Feixiao Right General Yang Sheng (Yang Guang). The next ten Team, each team is an officer of the rank of general.
among them. Xie Yun, Zhou Lie, Wei Da, Wei Liang, Da Xihao, and Dou Luyuan are the original officers of the Feixiao Army. They have been selected and trained, and they will also promote Luohan, Zhong Ming, Dou Bingzhang, Man Luo, Hedu, come Biography, as a new officer.
Here, Dou Bingzhang is Yang Jian’s brother-in-law, Dou Rongding’s nephew, and Qin Meng personally assessed him to join the Feixiao Army after Yang Lin introduced him.
Baran Luo, Hedu and Lai Chuan are all people of Hu descent. They are fluent in the Central Plains dialect and foreign dialects. They are quite good at riding and shooting skills. They grew up in the Central Plains and deeply identify with the Central Plains culture. After strict examinations. Army General Fei Xiao also appointed these three exceptionally.
Fei Xiaojun said that Yang Lin, the supervising army, directly restrained him. In fact, Yang Lin was just putting on a false name. All the powers of all Feixiao forces are delegated to the hands of the main general and deputy generals. Of course, in the general strategic direction of Feixiao forces, they still have to accept Yang Lin's command.
Soldiers and horses stationed in all directions in the northern border, in line with the principle of eliminating the bad and the survival of the fittest, persuaded some soldiers to retreat, paid travel expenses to go home to cultivate the fields, and integrated the army, swayed south, and gathered in the Jiangzuo.
The flying army under Qin Meng's jurisdiction is not subject to any military restraint, and has great autonomy. Moreover, it is not restricted to geographical areas. It can station troops anywhere along the pass from Youzhou to Dunhuang.
Fei Xiaojun's strength on paper is unmatched. However, Qin Meng believes that most of the Feixiao soldiers are battle-tested. But for the Feixiao Army’s new tactics, it’s not necessarily familiar with them.
Therefore, training close to actual combat is still indispensable.
Taking into account the training, Qin Meng and Yang Guang decided to station most of the Feixiao Army in Dunhuang first, with a lineup of two teams, one old and one new, out of the grassland to train the team.
Xie Yun, Zhou Lie and other five old military officers acted as instructors with the old and the new. They took the old men and led the new comrades who had not rushed for a long distance across the Great Wall, and went deep into the grassland under the pretext of friendly inspections. On the one hand, they were familiar with Long-distance marching routines, on the one hand, are also familiar with the terrain of the grasslands.
Such training. It did not last too long. In early October, Yang Lin received the news from Yang Jian that the largest Ashin in the Turkic, due to serious internal troubles, Shabo slightly Khan, intends to become a courtier in the Sui Dynasty.
Shabolue Khan Ke Hadun, the former princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, didn't mention revenge for the Northern Zhou clan, and expressed his expression to Yang Jian, wanting to recognize Yang Jian as a foster father.
After discussing with the ministers, Yang Jian felt that he could take this opportunity to temporarily appease the Turkic Ashina tribe, so he agreed to the request of the Shaboli Khan and the Princess Ko Hadun.
Princess Qianjin, who was acknowledged by Yang Jian and named Princess Dayi, shot Gao Xuan with her right servant as the leader of the peace mission, and led Sun Cheng to complete the mission of peacemaking in Turkistan.
In this way, Ashina took the picture and changed his body to become the son-in-law of the emperor of the Sui Dynasty. After he became a minister, he was nominally. Ash's part can be regarded as a member of the Great Sui.
Qin Meng and Yang Guang were somewhat depressed, Yang Jian did not say clearly, but as a minister, he should also know what it means to convey this news through Yang Lin.
The Turks cannot be played casually, although everyone knows that the people of the Central Plains are the direct descendants of the eldest wife, over the grassland. Barely regarded as the prostitute born by the little wife, but the prostitute can bully the prostitute, but he can't directly use the knife.
At the same time, a very discordant voice came from the court.
Now the northern border is basically stable, leaving 200,000 troops on the sidelines is enough.
The Feixiao army's combat power is impressive, but it burns too much money, should it be abolished? Or is it to be converted to an ordinary cavalry establishment, so you don't need to spend such a large price to raise it
Qin Meng didn't care about this. Anyway, how do you yell? In the end, it was the emperor who made the decision. Without the imperial decree, no matter who it was, it was just screaming.
But what Qin Meng did not expect was that there was a literati who specifically targeted the Feixiao Army and wrote an article to the effect that the Feixiao Army was comparable to the Han Zhi Huo Qubingxiao’s cavalry camp, and could bravely win the three armies in battle. However, it was suspected of being a poor soldier , With the prosperous Han Dynasty, it is still a waste of national power, not to mention the great Sui Dynasty in the north of Jiangbei
The history of the decline of the Han Dynasty is vividly remembered. If you don't see the past, you are afraid of repeating the mistakes of the old days.
The writer of this article was the celebrity Ming Kerang at the time.
The common people don't understand bright articles, but what's terrible is that the court still attaches great importance to celebrities. There are many court officials who, regardless of their purpose, will make friends with such celebrities.
Therefore, this article, through courtiers, came before Yang Jian's case.
Before Yang Jian expressed his opinion on this article, the supervisor played Chen, expressing his agreement with Ming Kerang's view that there is no need for a military brigade like the Feixiao Army in the North. Abolition can save nearly 200,000 taels of military expenditure a year. This is an excellent thing for the benefit of the country and the people.
Compared with Qin Meng's indifference, Yang Guang seemed very anxious. Several times I found Qin Meng to discuss countermeasures, and Qin Meng found excuses to shirk.
At the end of the day, Qin Meng couldn't bear the disturbance, and directly sacrificed the Dafa, not to mention the countermeasures, it was his daily duties, and he didn't care about it.
In desperation, Yang Guang wrote a letter to Yang Lin, preparing for the rumor of Feixiao's military disarmament, and vaguely pointed out that Qin Meng, the chief general, was very unconcerned about this, and he left it alone and went to Feixiao's army. People's feelings are therefore impetuous, and Yang Lin is specially asked to preside over this matter.
Yang Lin was patrolling Youzhou defense, received the letter, and rushed to Dunhuang with anger.
At a glance, Yang Lin knew that Fei Xiaojun had an extremely serious problem.
The main general Qin Meng has no longer the arrogance from his bones that could not be hidden in the past, and all the officers of the rank of generals have no wildness like bullfighting. The old man who has been marching for his life knows all this What it means.
The spirit is gone, no matter how good the team is, it will be vulnerable.
"Qin Meng, let's not talk about how the supervising army trusts you. The country has spent such a large price and invested so much manpower. It almost responds to your requirements. In the end, will you just return to the court like this?"
In the tone of the old man Yang Lin, there was anger, not much disappointment.
Qin Meng arched his hands and said, "Master Supervisor, you will have an answer in the end, can you let the generals avoid it?"
"Xia Qing? Huh, this supervising army wants to hear today, how can you neglect your duty to such a degree! Look at you, and then look at these generals in your mouth! This supervising army suspects, the so-called Da Sui The first combat force, Fei Xiaojun, I don’t know if I can win the fight when I run into a ringing horse! The Fei Xiaojun has reached this point, so what can’t I say?”
Qin Meng was very calm, looking at Yang Lin with a clear look in his eyes, and said, "Master Supervisor, let's just say that the general is afraid of hurting Master Supervisor's heart."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Yang Lin's mouth: "This is the first time this supervised army has brought soldiers like you to meet a soldier like you. I neglect military affairs, but I can pull out tricks that no one can think of. Ha ha, Qin Meng Today, the prison army still wants to hear from you, how it hurts the heart of the prison army.” (End of this chapter)
