Chapter 87 Establishment

At the beginning of winter, Huang Quan moved to Baqiu.

In the future, Dongting Lake will be the stronghold of the Xiangjiang Naval Division, and it is also the base camp of the Jingnan Standing Army.

The warships and large and small ships brought by Xu Zuo were enough to arm and prepare a Xiangjiang naval division with a scale of 8,000 people.

Huang Quan had the right to make a temporary decision, and appointed Xu Zuo as the governor of Baqiu, commanding 8,000 Xiangjiang naval divisions, with Hu Ban as the supervising army.

There are mature fishing and cultivated land around Baqiu, which is enough to garrison 30,000 troops.

Therefore, the Yi soldiers under the command of the commander of the five counties of Jingnan were further transferred, and 9,000 people were drawn to garrison Tunbaqiu, counting the troops brought by Lu Yi, and they were divided into 18 battalions for resettlement.

There are 6,000 lieutenants left for the five counties, and these 6,000 people are mainly the original Han county soldiers and recruits, and they are stationed in the five counties and counties, and they are also stationed in Xiangguan, Zhaoling, Wulin, and Lukou.

The governors of the five counties were separated from the command of Huang Quan and belonged to the local government in the future.

Huang Quan imitated the establishment of the Yizhou Legion, that is, the establishment of the Chinese army and the rear army of the Hanzhong Kingdom, to build the Baqiu garrison.

Although the army directly under Liu Bei was controlled by Zhao Yun, the general of the Yi army, and Huang Zhong, the later general, they were all under the guardianship of the protector general Fa Zheng.

Below these high-ranking generals, there are directly battalions with more than 700 people, under the command of battalion commanders.

Reduce the establishment of the school captain department and generals, and delete the general school structure, so that Liu Bei and the battalion governor can maintain a vertical command relationship.

Zhao Yun's general order is Liu Bei's general order; Huang Zhong, the rear general, is full of moisture and is almost an empty shelf. The duty of the general of the protector of the army is to supervise the whole army, and he does not have the right to command the army independently.

Therefore, the establishment of the Chinese army and the rear army is simple, there is a Liu Bei at the top, and there are small battalions subordinate to the middle army and the rear army below.

The Baqiu garrison built by Huang Quan was the prototype of the left army in the future, except for two or three independent generals, all other troops were subordinate to the left army in battalion formations, and they were flexibly used in wartime according to the appropriate increase or decrease of the time.

Now in the establishment of the left army, the main general Ma Chao, under the command of the Yamen Army, led by the Yamen general Ma Dai, the Yamen Army is also composed of small battalions, and its commander is not called the battalion governor, but called the Yamen general.

Deputy General Tian Xin, under his command directly under the Huya Army, the Huya Army Protector Luo Qiong changed his official title and called the Dianjun; The former Huya Army Sima Xihong was transferred to Changsha County Guard, with Xie Jing as the Huya Army Sima.

In this establishment, there is still a lack of a mobile partial general.

It doesn't matter if you don't, you can just put together a few battalions and form other divisions when the war requires it.

This is a flat and flexible military establishment, which has relatively high requirements for the quality of the chief generals and the guards.

Ma Chao is absorbing the surrendered army, it is impossible to have 30,000 surrendered troops, as far as all the absorption is concerned, at most 10,000 people will be selected, and the other 20,000 will be executed as a reserve source.

Everything went smoothly, and after the establishment of the left army, there were seven battalions of the Yamen Army, five battalions of the Huya Army, five battalions of the partial army, and 18 scattered battalions, a total of 35 battalions, and 26,000 soldiers.

With the addition of 8,000 Xiangjiang naval divisions, there will be 34,000 people in the left army.

Guan Yu's front army may be larger, close to 40,000 men.

Compared with half a year ago, the army was expanded by 40,000, but the pressure was not great.

The soldiers required for the expansion of the army came from the surrender of the army or the razing of the army, which had no impact on the original production and population structure of Jingzhou; Most of the equipment and equipment also come from capture and transformation.

Previously, Guan Yu had a population of about 300,000 households in Nan County, Yidu County, Lingling County, and Wuling County, maintaining the bottom line of supply and demand for seven households to support one soldier.

Now that we have the three counties of Guiyang, Changsha, and Nanxiang, and then count the Nanyang counties that have been captured, these people have at least 250,000 households.

With a population of 550,000 households in Jingzhou, it is enough to support an army of 80,000.

Control the Hunan water channel, and when the grain and materials transported from Jiaozhou to the outside pass through Hunan Customs, at least one-third can be detained for tariffs.

If Jiangdong is blackmailed every once in a while, with the current territory of the Jingzhou army, there is no pressure to support the 80,000 army.

An army of 80,000 to defend Jingzhou is enough to hold it.

Liu Biao was able to hold it during the period, but now there is no reason why he can't hold it.

Eating the rice transported from Jiangdong, the Jingzhou army was in full swing, and Sun Quan was also cleaning up the mess in Jiangdong.

It's not a mess, in the early years, in order to appease the Jiangdong surname, Sun Quan often expanded too many county officials and county officials to increase the way for the children of big families and Haoqiang to enter the office. and not to give them authority, but to find other reliable people to do things.

Therefore, the number of county officials and county officials in the counties of Jiangdong is huge, and there are thousands of people. Most of them are the existence of people who do not do things, or even bad things.

Now that the knife has been cut down, the structure of the county officials in Jiangdong County has been streamlined, and unnecessary waste has been greatly reduced.

Streamlining the structure was a rigorous surgical process, and Sun Quan could not be distracted elsewhere.

In this peaceful life of the tripartite strike, Tian Xin's "Please Let Hugu Pavilion Marquis Table" arrive in Chengdu, and at this time Liu Bei had already met Lu Yi, Zhuge Jin, and Sun Ji.

Fa Zheng was seriously ill and could not be a director, and was replaced by Zhuge Liang.

In his busy schedule, Zhuge Liang came to see Liu Bei with this letter and the stamps sent by Ma Chao, Huang Quan, and Pang Lin.

This matter can be big or small, especially after the original Jingzhou county guards are all replaced, it is even more sensitive.

Guan Yu's Xiangyang County Guard was replaced by Xiahou Lan, and Meng Da's Yidu County Guard was taken over by Fan You, the former county lieutenant, so Guan Yu and Meng Da were left alone.

The rest of the county guards were all finished, either fleeing or defecting and surrendering.

Especially Hao Pu, the commander of Lingling County, who surrendered to the Wu army for the second time, simply made Liu Bei's face hot and painful.

As for Mi Fang, Jingzhou didn't mention it, and Yizhou didn't ask, as if he had forgotten this person.

The reason is that it is too generous, so that Hao Pu can surrender the enemy a second time without any worries. The speed of surrender is almost the same as the internal response of rebellion.

During the attack of the Wu army, the first to actively raise troops to resist was the Tuyi chieftain, who was not defeated by the Wu army, but received the war dividends.

This made the scholars of Jingzhou, especially those in the Xiangyang area, gloomy.

During the attack of the Wu army, although there were Xiangyang people like Xi Zhen and Fan Zhou who swore to resist to the death, more strength came from the Tuyi chieftains.

When Liu Bei conceded Jiangxia, the Tuyi chieftains raised troops to resist the Wu soldiers, and Cheng Pu killed more than 300 chieftains; During the Xiangshui Alliance, Changsha Tuyi rebelled against the Wu army, and Huang Gai also died of exhaustion after sweeping this rebellion.

If it weren't for the hearty decisive battle of Maicheng, with the consistent advantage of the Wu army against the Yi soldiers, the Tuyi chieftains who raised troops in Jingnan would definitely be bloodbathed.

But the problem is so clearly in front of him, the frightened Wu army has no time to harvest the Yi soldiers, and the Tuyi chieftain has gained a firm foothold in Jingzhou through military exploits, and he has also integrated into the newly formed left army.

First-class Jingzhou scholars served as counselors by Liu Bei's side, or served as county guards and county commanders in various parts of Yizhou; The second-rate Jingzhou scholars and Haoqiang followed Liu Bei into Shu as a military official, and now they have grown into generals of the Shaozhuang faction.

The third-rate Jingzhou scholars stayed on their homeland, and they had the clumsy performance of the Xiangshui Alliance before, coupled with the poor performance this time...... It really gave Zhuge Liang a headache.

If the people of Jingzhou are in charge of their own affairs in Yizhou, Jingzhou's government affairs and military affairs are controlled by the chieftains and third-rate heroes from Tuyi...... This will fry.

As for how to deal with it, Zhuge Liang had no choice for a while.

Tian Xin, Ma Chao, and Huang Quan, who can be deeply implicated in the Tuyi chieftain of Jingzhou, made mistakes at this critical time, so that there was a gap in the solution of the Jingzhou problem.

There was no problem with the command structure of the Left Army, the only problem was that the proportion of Yi soldiers was somewhat high.

In particular, Tian Xin is a good teacher at a young age, which can certainly speed up the sinicization of Yi soldiers, but it also allows many unruly Tuyi chieftains to open up their wisdom and embark on the high-speed channel of military promotion.

Following Tian Xin, almost the promotion is the fastest, fast enough to break the balance.
