1176 Hedong Military Administration
After listening to General Shen's account of his attitude towards Hedong, Xue Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
To be honest, after seeing Xingtai's tough attitude towards Hongnong County's affairs, he was really worried that the Hedong countryside would also suffer from this. You must know that the evolution of the rural situation in Hedong to what it is today is not caused by some people, but due to perennial rural turmoil.
In the same way, even if they are willing to cooperate with the platform, it is not easy to completely reverse the order.
If you want to bring chaos to order, it is not just as simple as appointing officials and paying taxes to the people, but also many things such as the villagers buying their own homes, how to resist external troubles, and so on, and every decree must be related to the well-being of many people.
Fortunately, General Shen is a very person, and he can be elegant and inclusive, rather than blindly persecutive.
Xingtai's attitude is so gentle, Xue Tao naturally has to make a statement, but at the moment, he really doesn't dare to make arrogant thoughts to represent the majority of villagers, but only on behalf of his own family: "The people of the poor family are self-defeating, and they also know that this is by no means a posture of governance, and in previous years, they had to do so because of the difficulties of the township. But now that the king is marching westward, it is no longer enough to cause trouble, and there is no need to rely on the villagers to plan for themselves, and they are willing to lead their families to accept the king's rule and return to their homes. ”
If it was before Wang Shi's expedition to the west, even if Xue Tao had the heart to get close to Xingtai, he would not be so obedient and willing to give up the people under his command, because this is the foundation for his family to be able to stand on the troubled times, no matter how elegant General Shen is, it is impossible for him to give up the foundation just by some empty promises.
But now that the situation is obvious, General Shen has shown enough sincerity, and if he still has any resistance, it will be a real self-destruction.
Hearing Xue Tao's statement, Shen Zhezi was also sincerely pleased, in fact, he also had an admiration for these villagers in the north who were still sticking to their homeland, and he was more willing to integrate their scattered forces in a relatively gentle way, rather than blindly killing and using strong deterrence.
"Xue Jun can think like this, and he is really happy for the future recovery of the king. Shenzhou Zhuxia, in ancient times, has been the place where my royal people have been recuperating and reproducing for generations, why are most of the people in the world rampant now? Could it really be that my Xia Shengmin's talent and ambition are weaker than those of the Six Yi? There is no shortage of strong and talented people in the people, but they are each guarding one side and cannot work together, because they are suppressed by the crowd, and their self-protection is still insufficient, and they are even more powerless to support the right path. ”
Speaking of this, Shen Zhezi sighed: "Hulu has neither the drag of industry nor the bond of kinship, wolves in this world, rampant in all directions, with its roaring crowd, killing the people of my summer poor place, and the place where he passes is naturally peaceful. Only by inspiring the north and the south with the king's order, and the people sharing the same hatred and hatred, can they wipe out all the ruins and eradicate the troubles forever. This matter will inevitably cause short-term pain to the villagers in all realms of the world, but it can recreate my magnificent and prosperous world in China, and children and grandchildren can enjoy it in peace and happiness for a long time, and there will be no sorrow or fear. ”
When Xue Tao heard this, he couldn't help but feel something, the truth is indeed such a truth, but in the past few years, Wang Ye has fled the river, and there has been no brave person in the world to inspire and deter all parties, there is no world-recognized and eloquent leader, and the heroes and powerful cannot obey each other. A truth that everyone knows has become useless nonsense.
But now, in the westward march to the Wang Division, in Heluo Xingtai, and in General Shen, Xue Tao really faintly saw a possibility. Therefore, this time he expressed his willingness to completely return to Shunxingtai, in addition to being forced to be strong, Xue Tao was actually surging with a bit of ideal enthusiasm in his heart, and he was willing to devote himself to this vigorous feat of royal rejuvenation, contribute his own strength, and strive for a glory of his own!
After Shen Zhezi pondered for a while, he took out a copy of the text from the bottom of the full text, raised his hand and handed it to Xue Tao: "Master Wang's attack is still mainly in Guanzhong, but the many thieves on the east side of the river should not be ignored. Although in previous years, each family in the county fought hard to protect it, but now that the king's order has been sown in the countryside, it is natural that he can no longer rely on the villagers alone to fight hard to resist the enemy. Because Xingtai intends to temporarily set up a military government in Hedong to integrate and compile the brave and brave men of the township......"
Although Xingtai will not be too deeply touched by the situation of Hedong Township for the time being, if it is related to the military, it is natural not to be sloppy, so it is also a plan to create a military government directly led by the General's Mansion in Hedong. Although Shen Zhezi has no intention of conquering from the northeast of the river at the moment, the east of the river is located on the side of the west expedition to the pass, how can he completely rely on the strength of those townsmen.
Xue Tao took the official document and read it carefully, which listed in detail many military plans carried out by Xingtai for Hedong, including the creation of a military government as mentioned by the general just now, and the plan to build a warehouse in Hedong that Xue Tao had proposed when he was a staff officer in Xingtai.
The whole plan was extremely thorough, and it was obvious that it was not a whim of General Shen. It is conceivable that even if Xue Tao does not come to ask for a meeting today, this order will be sent to them in the hands of these Hedong villagers in the near future.
This whole plan involved all aspects of the formation of the army, the requisition and distribution of soldiers, the distribution of goods and goods, the areas to be garrisoned, and the scope of the cantonment.
And through such a plan, Xue Tao can get a glimpse of the integration and operation of the Wang Division's army, rigorous, thorough, and orderly, far from being comparable to his family's private songs of the township soldiers, from which it can also be imagined that the strength of the Wang Division has its own reason and the various dependences behind it.
According to this plan, the entire Hedong military government will take one to two years to complete, and finally after the military government matures, the number of armored soldiers will reach 10,000, and there will be 20,000 to 30,000 reserve soldiers who can be requisitioned and dispatched at any time.
Moreover, the radiation scope of this military government is not limited to Hedong, but also the surrounding counties and states such as Shangdang, Pingyang, and Shangjun are within its attack and defense. The mission of the military government is not only to assist the current western expedition, but may even be transformed into a formal main force in a certain period of time in the future, which will be used to conquer Taiyuan, Dingxiang, Yanmen and even Shuofang!
Although this plan only existed on paper, Xue Tao couldn't help but become excited after reading it. Although he is still only on the periphery of the platform, he already has a deep understanding of the execution ability of the platform.
If the content of this plan can be realized step by step, then in the future, this Hedong Military Government will definitely become an important part of the Wang Division of the Xingtai Division!
Seeing that Xue Tao's face was faintly flushed, Shen Zhezi also laughed. The importance of Hedong is not limited to the present, and the enemies faced by Wang Shi are far from being the more active parties at the moment. His current military power seems to be quite strong, but it is still a long way from achieving his ultimate vision.
The current Guanzhong is not his end, and neither is Shihu in Hebei. Therefore, the current scale of the Wang Division still needs to be expanded, and Hedong is the focus of the next military construction of the Wang Division.
In the short term, the formation of the Hedong Wang Division can ensure that the route of the western expedition will not be disturbed from the north, and strengthen the siege and blockade of the entire Guanzhong. The goal in the medium term is to go from Pingyang in the northeast of Hebei to Taiyuan, cut off Shihu's rule and influence west of the Taihang Mountains, and form a strategic siege of the state of Qian in Hebei.
The more long-term plan is that with the successive disasters of the Xiongnu Tuge and Qianhu on the Shenzhou Zhuxia after the long-term migration, the Hu forces in the northern grasslands have gradually risen, and the most threatening of them are the Xianbei Dynasty Tuoba Shiyiqian and the Xiongnu Tiefu Liu Wuhuan who have been usurped to establish the country.
Needless to say, the Xianbei Dynasty was the predecessor of the later Northern Wei Dynasty. And the Xiongnu Tiefu tribe was not a good tribe, Liu Wuhuan was the grandfather of the later Huxia tyrant Helian Bobo.
These two tribal forces are also different from the two Hu regimes that were active before, whether it is the Xiongnu Tu Ge Liu clan or Shi Zhao Qianhu, they have been moving inward for a long time, and they have been practicing farming and weaving for a long time, and their habits are not much different from those of the Han people in the Central Plains. In addition to the rise of these two tribes, various nomadic habits are still deeply rooted, and once they wander in, it will be a catastrophe for the people.
For such an enemy, how could Shen Zhezi turn a blind eye and ignore it. So in the longer term, the creation of the Hedong Military Mansion was prepared for these Mobei Hu people.
After Hebei is pacified in the future, Shen Zhezi even plans to cancel the Hanoi Military Government and merge it into Hedong, concentrate manpower and material resources, and build a large-scale, powerful combat force, mainly cavalry-based combat force, to go on an expedition to Mobei and eliminate these thieves!
And the current Hedong is one of the fulcrums of this series of war plans in the future.
Of course, if Hedong wants to reach such a strategic height in the future, it will not be the work of years and months, at least it will take several years or even more than ten years of hard work. But just these plans that were literally embodied in front of him had already made Xue Tao excited, and he couldn't be indifferent, looking like he wanted to say something.
Shen Zhezi didn't let Xue Tao worry for too long, and soon said: "Although there is no shortage of frontier talents and generals in Xingtai, if it comes to knowing the hometown and being poor, there is really no one who can be better than Xue Jun. So this time the Hedong Military Government was created, I don't know if Xue Junken was reluctant to let it go? ”
Although Xue Tao had already had such a guess, when he really said this from the mouth of the general, he still felt pleasantly surprised for a while, and he was busy standing up from Xi Zhong, and said in a trembling tone: "I, I...... The last general is really frightened, I am afraid that he will be weak, but if he can do his best for the general to care for the border and set the county, he will be rewarded with the work of dogs and horses! ”
Who is in charge of the Hedong Military Mansion, originally Xue Tao was just one of the alternatives, what really made Shen Zhezi make a decision, or Xue Tao's attitude in this meeting really made Shen Zhezi quite satisfied.
Although there is no shortage of generals in Xingtai, it is impossible for the Hedong Military Government to become the focus of the Wang's division within a few years of its creation, and veterans should not be demoted, and young and strong should not be idle. In the near term, Xue Tao seems to be a very suitable choice.
Relying on these township forces to build a prototype of a military government first, the Hedong military government will definitely have to be adjusted many times in the future, and a large number of active troops will be added to it, but there is no need to worry about the dominance of the township.
As for Xue Tao, although he is only responsible for the preparation of the military government, on the surface it seems far inferior to those official positions such as the county guard Fang Bo issued by the Hulu regime, but he also sees that the execution of the Taiwan punishment reward is rigorous, and he can become a party leader at the beginning of joining, which is already a rare courtesy honor in recent years.
