Chapter 602: Many and Miscellaneous

Fusu may not be a good or qualified commander, but he is definitely a prison army that knows what he has to do.

Many people's understanding of supervising the army is to monitor an army, a commander-in-chief, and how many generals, and there is nothing wrong with this understanding, but the responsibility of supervising the army is not limited to these, in addition to taking on the task of monitoring the army for such and such a person, what he needs is to do the important task of boosting morale on behalf of whom, and at the same time he should pay extreme attention to logistics, and make sure that the logistics of the army are not disturbed by some interference.

As long as it is related to logistics, it is bound to be a situation of many and complicated, and many people think that the victory or defeat of a war is only related to whether the commander is properly commanded, and few people will see this aspect of logistics, and logistics is precisely the key to determining the victory or defeat of a war.

What Fusu needs to do is not very complicated, he is to pay attention to whether there are moths in the logistics system, the diet of the soldiers, and in addition to communicating with Lu Zhe's side in some aspects.

So far, the Central Plains Legion of the Qin State has swelled to 800,000 people, of course, it is not that the Qin army that went to Chenjun to fight has 800,000, but the number of people belonging to the Central Plains Legion sequence.

In fact, the number of Qin troops who entered the battle in Chen County was only 300,000, and the rest were either distributed in Zhao or Sanchuan and Qin. And Qi, Yan, and Zhao claimed to have concentrated 1.5 million troops to fight with Qin, but only about 500,000 people who really entered Chen County to participate in the fight, and the rest were scattered everywhere, and whether there were 1.5 million in number Except for the kings of the Three Kingdoms, no one is so clear, perhaps the three kings themselves are confused about how many people are serving the war.

War is a mathematical problem, and the situation and situation have always been judged by numbers, and the materials purchased by Lu Zhe from Qin, Qi, Yan, and Zhao can roughly understand what stage of the war in Chen County is going on.

In the first month of the war, the amount of various types of grain purchased by the Qin State from Lu Zhe exceeded one million stones, and the grain on the list has increased unabated recently, but the number of weapons most needed in the early stage has begun to gradually decrease, what does this mean?

The purchase lists of the three kingdoms of Qi, Yan, and Zhao are a kind of trend and stability, which means that the number of troops participating in the war of Qi, Yan, and Zhao has always been maintained at a certain number. And the logistical supply of Qi has not encountered any threat.

The Qin State purchased a large amount of grain and straw certainly not entirely for the troops of Chen County, but obviously took advantage of this rare opportunity to transport grain and straw for the country, and for this reason, it did not hesitate to empty the treasury of the treasury, along with a large number of livestock and horses.

Compared to the embarrassment of the Qin state, the Qi state, which was responsible for paying for the coalition forces, appeared to be extremely wealthy. Every time, the State of Qi transported copper ingots or cloth smoothly, and from some inquiries, it was confirmed that Qi Yan had discovered a copper mine with a huge output in Liaodong, and the State of Qi also made use of the sea.

Under the premise of making a lot of war money, the counties under Lu Zhe's rule also developed rapidly as expected, and some counties that were devastated by the war, those wild people who fled to the deep mountains and old forests (referring to those who were not registered) learned that life in their hometown had become better and ran back one after another. One or two may not be nothing, but a large number of people who fled returned to their hometowns, and the number of people under Lu Zhe's rule exceeded 8 million.

High-speed development is expected, after all, all counties are profitable because of the sale of materials, if the improvement of infrastructure and people's livelihood does not take this rare opportunity to increase the speed, then Lu Zhe should send a large number of inspectors to investigate how strict the corrupt officials are.

Hey! Did you just talk about the term "corrupt officials"? Lü Zhe has always paid little attention to local officials except to watch the conscription of each county, so what about the county historians who lack Lu Zhe's supervision?

Since the rise of Lü Zhe, there has been a lack of civil officials, so the occupation of a place has always allowed the county commander, including a number of officials, to stay in place, as was the case in Nanjun from the beginning. Even if there is a territory of eight counties now, it is still like this, but it would be a big mistake to think that without Lu Zhe's supervision, it would be a big mistake to think that corrupt officials are crawling all over the ground.

Most of the county officials were originally sent by the Qin State, and after the county was occupied by Lu Zhe, the county commander (chief) sent by the Qin State was still the county commander (chief) sent by the Qin State. A county magistrate or county magistrate of the Qin State. He needs to go through layers of audits, and he must also be familiar with Qin Law. The laws of the Qin State have always punished crimes severely, and when they know what risks there will be, do those officials dare to be corrupt? The answer is that there will be corrupt officials. But it depends on what the situation is and who they work for.

In the situation of war, there is nothing to be greedy for if the county commander wants to be greedy. If you change to a new allegiance object, you are afraid that you will only be cautious and cautious in charge of ushering in a butcher's knife, and you are afraid that if something goes wrong, you will lose your head immediately.

In this era of connection, it is not his own bad luck that a person is wrong, but not only his own family, but also his wife, parents and brothers, so he should think carefully about whether what he got by breaking the law is worth it.

Later, Lu Zhe reformed the salaries of officials, and the salary of the county magistrate was almost the rank of a military marquis in the army, that is, two hundred and a half taels per month, and the county magistrate was twenty more than the county magistrate.

Now the level of one and a half taels of purchase is quite good, two hundred and a half a month is two thousand four hundred, this money is definitely a huge amount of money at present, they can only be greedy for small profits in the face of the desolate countryside, just do a good job can get a huge amount of money a year, do a good job can also be promoted to get better treatment, unless it is stupid to ruin their lives for small profits.

As Lu Zhe's territory became bigger and bigger, the chief officials of the counties worked harder and harder, after all, it was not wrong to have a huge salary before, but no one was sure that Lu Zhe would be finished, and he himself became a rebel. But no matter how you look at it now, Lu Zhe not only has no intention of being finished, but is getting stronger and stronger, you must know that the county guards of each county have been empty, who says whether it will be his turn?

The founding of the People's Republic of China is imminent, and a county order in Lujiang County has been promoted to a county guard because of his contribution to the performance appraisal, and there is also a county commander in Changsha County who has become a county guard because of the restoration of the people's livelihood.

The county guard of Lujiang County was originally Huan Chu, and the county guard of Changsha County was Wu Rui, and they were shocked when they were dismissed from their county guard positions, and they understood when they saw that the dispatch document clearly stated that they were going to be transferred back to Nanling to wait for another post, and the shock turned into a surprise.

To tell the truth, Huan Chu and Wu Rui's talent does not lie in managing civil affairs, they have not achieved much since they were appointed as county guards, they are good at marching and fighting.

Lu Zhehui transferred Huan Chu and Wu Rui back as a last resort, he originally wanted to nail the two of them to the position of county guard for at least three years, but the plan to march north was already being formulated, for some reason the lieutenant was transferred to a civilian position, and the generals in his hands were not enough.

Rapid expansion is indeed such an embarrassing thing, there are not enough civilian officials and not many military generals. The lack of civil servants is due to the fact that they have risen too quickly and have no background, and they have not been able to attract scribes from other places to come and take refuge. It is strange that there are not many generals, and that is because they really did not encounter too difficult resistance, and under the expansion of Shun lì, either there were too many generals, or some talented people failed to play their role.

Counting the people on Lu Zhe's hands, there are only six who have been knighted for their military exploits, among which the viscount is Sima Xin, the baron is Gongwei, Ji Bu, and Luo Shao, not counting the lords in the noble ranks, there are only twenty-eight people, which is in a system that can form an army of millions at every turn, how small should the number be?

Lu Zhe's early expansion process is to spend in the extermination of mountain bandits and thieves, and the recent battle with Baiyue is easy, without too strong enemies under the premise, the generals naturally have little room to play, there are opportunities to make contributions, but there are few opportunities to show their talents.

In the future, sending troops to the north will be a war to win the entire Central Plains and Qin in one fell swoop, and it is impossible for Lu Zhe, who is called the king, to play any pro-conquest at every turn, so it must be necessary to lead the army in many excellent enough martial arts futures, and this kind of conquest is not so simple and clear in the south, it will be more complicated than any previous war.

In addition to the future battle of unification, the area further south of Lingnan also needs to continue to expand, at least Lu Zhe didn't plan to let the Ou Kingdom come over and fight for a while, and then it would be as if nothing had happened and then live in peace, so there would be more generals needed.

Recall Huan Chu and Wu Rui, and the other is a group of people who have made contributions in the Battle of Lingnan, Lu Zhe still found that he did not have many reliable generals on hand, and began to suspect that even picking peaches would not be so smooth, and his attention to the Military Academy naturally increased.

Because in the next one or two years, only one combat zone (that is, the Lingnan battlefield) will be maintained, so that there will be restrictions on the generals who will have actual combat experience, and the way of fighting in the south will definitely be different from the Central Plains and Qin, Lu Zhe has convened the military generals in Nanling more than once to discuss and find ways to train qualified generals.

The military advisor Kuaitong very much agreed with the assertion that the war in the south and the Central Plains would not be the same model. There are many primeval forests and dense forests in the south, and then they are dealing with a group of Stone Age barbarians, as long as they are not dizzy in the fight, they will only lose partially, but there is no possibility of failure in the whole battle. The Central Plains will be mostly plains and siege warfare, and the opponents will be the same tall and metallic Chinese people, and then there will be the poor organization of the nations, but at least they are organized. How can it be the same?

It was the first time that most people had heard Lu Zhe's plan for a war of unification, and they suddenly realized that they had unknowingly developed to the point where they were strong enough to win the world.

"That's based on the premise that Qin and the nations consume each other." Lu Zhe was very strict when he spoke: "And we are using a half-sized Central Plains territory to make war material reserves, and others are in the flames of war, but we can prepare with peace of mind." Even with such an advantage, it is still unknown whether it can be implemented as planned! (To be continued......)
