Chapter 184: Qingzhou's Entire Army

All the way to relief, in the end, after Liu Bei's army, it turned out to be a long line of displaced people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoFor this situation, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals expressed concern. As soldiers, they did not want to see death without help, but raised the problem from their own point of view, that is, they must give priority to ensuring the supply of military rations, otherwise so many people and horses will eat and chew every day, and in fact they will run out of food, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Liu Bei was also a little worried about this. His first task is to ensure that his men and horses arrive in Qingzhou safely. Instead of staying here as a philanthropist. The only result of running out of food is that everyone is done playing.

Fortunately, after defeating several so-called rebel armies that were not long-sighted, they gained quite a bit. And Xun Yu has repeatedly said that there is absolutely no problem with food supply. At the end, Xun Yu also mentioned that he could use grain to attract these displaced people to Qingzhou to settle down......

Hearing Xun Yu's idea, Liu Bei's eyes couldn't help but light up. In these years, the original prosperous land of the Central Plains has become ruins, ten rooms and nine empty, and Qingzhou is also a place where the yellow turbans are raging. Xun Yu is worthy of being Wang Zuo's material, and his brain is fast. I didn't think of it yet.

When the significance of the banner of "Guangyang Hou and Qingzhou Muliu" was known to the majority of displaced people, the ranks of displaced people undoubtedly grew a little stronger. Fortunately, all the way through the state, Liu Bei would always take Xun Yu to visit the local officials, firstly, to replenish food, and secondly, to settle some old and weak women and children who were not qualified to travel long distances. So, when he crossed Taishan County and arrived in Qi State, in addition to Liu Bei's army, there were tens of thousands of strong people who were ragged and yellow-skinned, but still full of vitality.

Qingzhou, the six counties of Pingyuan, Jinan, Qi, Beihai, Le'an and Donglai, govern the country of Qi. Qingzhou is a small state, far less than the adjacent Yan, Xu, and Youzhou prefectures, not to mention the borderless Yi, Jing, and Yang prefectures. And in the land of one state, there are four princes and kings, if it weren't for the fact that the king of Qiancheng had no heirs, and the country of Qiancheng was divided into Le'an County, there would be five princes and kings in Qingzhou. Although these princes of the Liu family are no longer like in the Western Han Dynasty, they all have military power, financial power, and personnel power, but these royal power that has been passed down for several generations is still not to be underestimated. Especially in Luoyang, the plain king Liu Shuo, who has dealt with Liu Bei, is an old fritter.

Liu Shuo has meritorious service, so in addition to his son-in-law, several of his favorite princes have to be named marquis, although they can't dominate a county like him to support, but they are finally rich and rich all their lives, and they have no worries about food and clothing. The old prince was exhausted, so he had a lot of fun in Luoyang, and finally got out of the cage of the palace, and he didn't plan to go back if the son of heaven didn't make an order.

Liu Cheng, the king of Qi, held a banquet in his palace to welcome Liu Bei, the new master of Qingzhou. It stands to reason that the vassal king is not allowed to make friends with the local magistrate for no reason, let alone the pastor of a state. However, it doesn't matter now, there are two sons of heaven in the Han Dynasty, what rules can't be broken?

From the first generation of Liu Zhang, the king of Qi mourning, to the current Liu Cheng, the king of Qi, the state of Qi has been inherited for six generations. Liu Zhang is the nephew of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, the son of Liu Xuan, the king of Qiwu, Liu Xuan died early, Liu Zhang was raised by Emperor Guangwu since childhood, very fond, in the second year of Jianwu, he was set up as the king of Taiyuan, and then moved to the king of Qi. So how did this branch pass down? In history, Liu Cheng lived for a long time, and the king of Qi sat in the position for fifty-nine years, until Cao Cao cut off the marquis of Liu Han with a large amount of money, so in the eleventh year of Jian'an, the state of Qi was abolished.

The palace of the king of Qi, even though it has experienced more than 100 years of wind and rain, is still magnificent, with countless palaces and continuous houses. King Qi Yuguan is dressed in a gorgeous costume, sitting in the center, and below the row on the right, all of them are subordinate officials of the palace. The first place on the left is Liu Bei, and if you go down, it is the Prime Minister of Qi and several so-called celebrities.

After three rounds of drinking, Liu Bei, who was originally confused, finally knew what King Qi meant by inviting him to a banquet. It's nothing more than two words, showing goodwill. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there have been many traitors in the world, one after another, even across states and counties. Qingzhou is the hardest-hit area. King Qi was also frightened and scared several times. King Qi didn't have any other thoughts, so he thought about living his rich and idle life in peace, and then passing on the family business passed down from his ancestors. He has also heard of Liu Bei's name for a long time, since he is also a clan relative, and he saw that Liu Bei's soldiers were strong and strong, so he immediately thought about wooing Liu Bei to show his goodwill. Anyway, you can't write two Liu characters with one stroke, right?

Liu Bei saw that King Qi looked cautious, and his smile was almost flattering, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little blocked. The mighty Han Empire is gone after all. Otherwise, how could a prince of the royal family, a vassal king, slap him up like this. If the country is prosperous and the royal family is strong, as the king of Qi of the royal family, how can the waist pole be a little harder than now?

Liu Beiqiang suppressed his thoughts, raised his glass and drank it all with King Qi. Xindao, as long as it is not too much, you always have to keep your life rich and worry-free, which can be regarded as a reward for today's love.

After the banquet of King Qi, Liu Bei refused the banquets of countless celebrities and villagers, and when he was looking forward to whether the new governor had any new moves, there was no news from the Assassin Mansion in Linjiang City.

Liu Bei was no longer in the city at this time, but led a group of henchmen out of the city. Rebellions broke out in Qingzhou, the people abandoned their families and children, and were displaced, and because of the thieves and thieves, the trade routes were blocked, and the unscrupulous merchants in the territory hoarded one by one, which made the prices soar and the people were wronged. These are all problems that Liu Bei urgently needs to solve, but Liu Bei first suppressed these things and left them behind. He had more important things to do, which was to reorganize the army.

Since the Yellow Turban Uprising, Liu Bei has been leading the army for several years, and because of the restrictions of the imperial court and his official position, he has not been able to adjust the composition of the army, military expenses, military weapons, etc., and can only occasionally do minor surgery. Now the two sons of heaven in Luoyang and Chang'an come and go, and they are fighting happily. And he also jumped to the state pastor of a state, became an important minister, and took charge of the military and political power in Qingzhou. It is to rectify the army without restraints and taboos.

After discussing and discussing with the generals and Xun Yu countless times, the general plan is as follows. The army was renamed the Qingzhou Army. The basic units in the army are the army, the group, the team, the tun, the qu, the department, and the army. One Wu people, ten people one ti, fifty people one team, one hundred people one tun, three tun for the song, three songs for the department, three into the army. At the level of the ministry and above, there shall be another logistics unit, with a logistics department at the ministry level and a logistics department at the army level. The logistics units also include the baggage battalion and the health battalion. So the first song was three hundred, the first was one thousand two hundred, and the first army was four thousand eight hundred.

The First Army of Qingzhou, Guan Yu is the main general, and Huang Guang is the deputy general; The Second Army of Qingzhou, Zhang Fei is the main general, and Ye Jiao is the deputy general; The Third Army of Qingzhou, Huang Zhong is the main general, and Zhou Wei is the deputy general; The Fourth Army of Qingzhou, Yan Yan is the main general, and Huang Shu is the deputy general; In addition, Liu Ke commanded 2,000 pro-troops, and Wu Kuang was the deputy general. Royer Ke commanded an army of 3,000 banxun. The total strength of the army is more than 24,000 people.

After the establishment was completed, Liu Bei began to think about military ranks. In the Eastern Han Dynasty army, the rank is too simple, from the bottom to the top, the commander, the captain, the team leader, the tun chief, the military marquis (military horse), the captain, the lieutenant general (general), and then it's over. In Liu Bei's view, if there are many events today, and there are endless conquests everywhere, this kind of simple position cannot meet the needs of the army. Meritorious service will be rewarded, and fault will be punished. After years of conquest, the lieutenants will be promoted, and the Zhonglang generals (generals) will also be promoted, and then up will be the four generals on the left and right before and after the four expeditions and four towns, as well as the general of the chariot cavalry, the general of Wei, the general of the hussar and the general. There are more than a dozen of these high-level military positions in total, and these positions are also unappointable by Liu Bei, who is currently the pastor of Qingzhou. Moreover, in private, Liu Bei plans not to grant these positions lightly in the future. Liu Bei rubbed his brows with a headache, then, he could only think about his military rank. After referring to the military system and ranks of the Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty in my memory, combined with my own ideas, the fresh Qingzhou Army ranks were quickly released.

Tentative military positions: Wu Commander, Shi Commander, Team Leader, Tun Commander, Military Marquis (Military Sima), Soldier and Horse Envoy, Commander Envoy, and Marching Commander.

Provisional ranks: private, private; Wu Gong Lang, Wu Jie Lang, Wu Zhong Lang; Captain Guo Yi, Captain Wu Cai, Captain Yun Cavalry, Flying Cavalry Lieutenant, Xiao Cavalry Lieutenant; Captain Rong, Captain Renyong, Captain Yu, Captain Xuanjie, Captain Yilu, Captain Zhiguo, Captain Zhenwei, Captain Zhaowu; Lieutenant; Zhonglang General; General Dingyuan, General Ning Yuan; General Xuanwei, General Mingwei; General Zhongwu, General Fenwu. Nine-order twenty-three levels. This is also the extreme that Liu Bei can set at present. Setting up such a complicated rank, Liu Bei is also in order to honor the rewards for the soldiers in the future. There are so many troops, and the military position is a turnip and a pit, the number is limited, and it cannot be promoted indiscriminately, so what should I do with meritorious soldiers in the war? You can raise your ranks. You have a lot of achievements in war, and there is no place to place you, so then you will be promoted to the rank of the army and give you more money, so that there will be no resentment, right? This is Liu Bei's purpose. If he could, he would love to set it up more.

As for vacating so many ranks to be recognized by the imperial court, Liu Bei is too lazy to care. These ranks will be directly related to military salaries, it doesn't matter if the imperial court doesn't recognize it, he recognizes it, and the Qingzhou military system recognizes it. What the? Will the imperial court condemn the crime? The two courts can't care about anyone now, they only care about quarreling, who cares about this? Besides, it won't be long before Lao Cao or Yuan Shao will take the lead, so that the lieutenant colonels and lieutenants of the army will be flooded, and all kinds of miscellaneous generals will fly all over the sky. Since then, the positions of lieutenants and lieutenant generals, who originally belonged to the ranks of senior military ranks in Dahan, have completely fallen and gradually become middle and low-level positions.

After the military rank and rank were determined, Guan Yu and other chief generals were appointed by Liu Bei as Zhonglang generals. For example, Guan Yu, his rank is Fushun Zhonglang General and the commander of the First Army of Qingzhou. And Huang Guang is the cavalry lieutenant and the deputy commander of the Qingzhou First Army. As for Liu Bei, he is the Marquis of Guangyang, the Qingzhou Mu, the head of the Qingzhou March, and the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses (the last one is what Liu Bei thinks in his heart, hahaha.) Then, the vigorous selection of the army also kicked off.
