Chapter 1387: Removal of Guards and Reform of the Domain (Middle)

In these years, martial artists are very particular, Yang Shihu knows that Yang Huairen has put a lot of effort into Long Wuwei and Hu Benwei, and now he not only withdraws the guard and changes the domain, but also separates the two guards, Yang Huairen will definitely be reluctant.

Therefore, Yang Shihu took advantage of a loophole in the reorganization of the Liangwei Forbidden Army, and only brought 1,000 Huben Guards to the Wuwei Army for merger and reorganization, leaving most of the original soldiers of the Liangwei Forbidden Army to the Wude Army.

The Wuwei Military Government was originally a mixture of the largest feudal army and the Xiang army on Huainan West Road, under the jurisdiction of Wuwei, Chaoxian and Lujiang counties, with more than 40,000 soldiers in the organization, and there were actually 35,000 people.

Even with this ratio, it is one of the armies with the highest proportion of numbers in the entire Great Song Dynasty's Xiang army or vassal army.

Therefore, Yang Shihu didn't need to bring so many people over, just bring a thousand people to take office, but the newly established Wude Army did not have much foundation, so the original soldiers of the forbidden army were left to the Wude Army.

Before the Liangzhejiang Road, there were only three military offices: the Nankang Army, the Guangde Army and the Changguo Army, but the combined number of the three military offices was not as large as that of a Wuwei soldier.

Now that there is one more Wude Army, the two Zhejiang roads can be regarded as strong soldiers, at least it looks like this.

In fact, the Wude Army was reorganized in this way, but it retained nearly 20,000 horses of the original Long Wuwei and Hu Benwei, although they were demoted from the forbidden army to the feudal army, but the treatment of the soldiers was not reduced.

Therefore, although there was a bit of frustration in the barracks, after the strong guidance of the officers, the private feelings of the downgrading and reorganization did not have much impact in the army.

The numbers of Long Wuwei and Hu Benwei have not disappeared, and the large camps of the two guards of the forbidden army in the mountains behind Yangjia Zhuangzi are still there, and there are still four or five thousand men and horses left there.

How Zhao Xu will arrange them in the future, Yang Huairen also thought of a good idea, since the big camp has been built, it can't be wasted, it is better to transform the Liangwei Valley camp into a comprehensive training ground for the forbidden army, and the soldiers left behind by the two guards will become the management soldiers of the training ground.

Yang Huairen believed that Zhao Xu would agree to such a proposal, and when the Culinary Academy was established, Yang Huairen also revealed some ideas to Zhao Xu, and Zhao Xu acquiesced at that time.

Now that the Culinary Academy is developing in the direction of a comprehensive college, it seems that it is not a big problem to have an additional officer training college.

The Wude army stationed in Changzhou, naturally it was eaten on the spot, and the Changzhou government would bear the food and salary of the Wude army, because of the large number of people, so Yang Huairen was divided into the left and right sides of the Wude army within the Wude army, that is, the soldiers of the original Long Wuwei and Hu Benwei, so that everyone could get used to it.

The left wing of the Wude army garrisoned Wujin County, the right wing garrisoned Jinling County next door, and the left wing of 10,000 people guarded the Grand Canal and the Yangtze River water and land arteries, which were called mighty troops by the local people.

10,000 people in the right compartment are stationed in Hengshan and Furongbo, where you can look east to Jiangyin County, watch every move of the city's Yamen, and be called the Hengshan Army by the people.

The common people called it like this, Yang Huairen felt that it didn't matter, Wu Dejun Wu Dejun, I didn't know that Zhao Xu came up with such a name, it sounded like no German army, it seemed that he still had some psychological shadow on Long Wuwei.

Long Wuwei and Hu Benwei were demoted, Yang Huairen should have been uncomfortable, obviously these two guards are more elite than the other forbidden armies in Gongwei Gyeonggi, just because there were some rebellious generals, they ended up in this end, which is really regrettable.

But after Yang Huairen figured it out a little, he didn't feel a pity, if the soldiers under him were still forbidden troops, in fact, he didn't count many things, even if it could be used temporarily, but after all, it still needed to be appointed by the Privy Council.

But after being demoted to a vassal army, he had greater control over the Wude army, and could further change the army of the Great Song Dynasty according to his own ideals, and the Wude army became his experimental field.

Changing the status quo of the entire Great Song Dynasty army may not be something that can be done overnight, but by changing the reorganized Wude Army to find the most suitable way to develop the Great Song Army, Yang Huairen feels that it can be done.

Moreover, through the example of the Wu Dejun, it is not impossible to further influence the local feudal armies and Xiang armies of the Jiangnan generation.

After all, Yang Huairen still has the false title of Jiangnan Army Festival Envoy on his head, and the Jiangnan Army does not exist, so Yang Huairen is a bare-bones commander.

But on the other hand, the Jiangnan Army can also refer to the collective name of all the van armies of the Jiangnan generation, so the authority of this section envoy can be greater.

Yang Huairen pondered for a long time, and felt that Zhao Xu suddenly gave him such a brainless official position on a whim, maybe he wanted him to train the army according to his method.

It's naturally a good thing to practice, but if you can't practice it, there is also an excuse to push it over, because of this matter, although Yang Huairen thinks that Zhao Xu is not a Mingjun, he also has a heart that wants to be a Mingjun.

No matter what Zhao Xu's future outcome is, since Yang Huairen has such a good opportunity, let's try it, although the dream is a bit far away, but what if it comes true?

The first thing to be transformed is the several van troops in the Liangzhejiang Road.

The garrison of the Nankang Army in Poyang Lake, east of Lushan, is an army of 12,000 people, including 4,000 infantry and 8,000 sailors, but the south does not fight all year round, so the actual number is only half, 1,000 infantry troops plus 5,000 sailors.

After the flooding in Jiangzhou, some displaced people will be produced, and the able-bodied ones will be selected to fill the Nankang Army, which can replenish about 3,000 soldiers.

But the price of replenishing the 3,000 soldiers was that tens of thousands of family members who needed to be responsible for these 3,000 people, and the Nankang army could not afford it, so they had already asked the Hangzhou government for food many times.

The Nankang Army is a box army dominated by the naval army, and the food and salary allocated by the Hangzhou government will not be too much, and more than 10,000 people must be fed, and the Hangzhou government is also under great pressure, so it has to ask Yang Huairen for help.

In fact, it is not that they are short of food, but that there has been such a precedent before, and the local government is obliged to allocate the food and salary of the local army, but it has always been distributed according to the establishment.

In the middle, the grain and salary actually distributed to the Xiang army were basically cut in half, so the Xiang army was never full, and there was really not so much food to feed these people.

In the event of a disaster year, the Xiang army will receive a large number of disaster victims to fill the army, and the food will definitely not be enough to eat, so they can only ask for food from the top.

Just like this time in Hangzhou, there will definitely be some additional food and salary for the Nankang Army, but it will not be too much, and it will only be a one-time payment.

It is always impossible for them to give it immediately, they always have to pass the buck, and finally give less, this is the habit of officialdom, and the purpose is to prevent the Xiang army from stretching out their hands.

The hot yam was thrown to Yang Huairen, and Yang Huairen was also upset, he couldn't spend his own money to buy food for the relief of the Nankang Army, and he would be left behind.

But if he watched Xiang Jun starving, he couldn't bear it......
