Chapter 261: Reshuffle
Hitting a child on a rainy day is also idle.
After the Liaodong soldiers and horses captured the entire territory of Goguryeo, the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Army were really idle, and Chen Kefu transferred the seven soldiers separately. Liu Tiezhu led the left rear army to replace Yu Qinming and Daniel Zhang, and led the army into Pyongyang, and Yu Qinming and Daniel Zhang's teaching battalion and reconnaissance battalion were transferred back to Liaodong City.
Zhang He led the right rear army to garrison Beisha City on the tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, Mao Yi's left front army garrisoned the domestic city, and Chen Gui's right wing army garrisoned Fuyu City. Hu Hai's right front army returned to Anshi City, a two-day journey from Liaodong City.
Basically, the soldiers and horses were divided into three lines, the westernmost line of the Liaohe River, and five armies were arranged in Liaodong, Xincheng, Anshi, Fuyu, and Beisha. In the center of Goguryeo, Mao Yi's soldiers and horses on the first line of Yalu Water defended the two large cities of Neicheng and Wugu respectively, and finally arranged one of Liu Tiezhu's troops to Pyongyang City near Beishui in the south.
The center of gravity of the entire arrangement is to focus on defense in the west of the Central Plains Liaoxi. Among them, Beisha defends Shandong, Liaodong defends Liaoxi, Buyeo defends Murowei, domestic fortifies Mòhé, and Pyongyang defends Silla. Although Mòhé and Silla were also his allies, he could not guarantee that these people would see the empty land and not be moved if they did not have the strength to be placed there. What alliance and what axiom, in Chen Kefu's view, only the range of the Liaodong Army's crossbow arrows is the most guaranteed.
Chen Kefu had already sent letters of invitation to the Khitan Nine Tribes, Sumoshui Mòhé, Silla, Ji, Murowei, Khitan Dahe Clan, Turkic, and Heishui Mòhé tribes, asking their tribes to send envoys to Liaodong City to meet the alliance.
Now Liaodong and Liaoxi are very lively, and Chen Kefu has just completely pacified Goguryeo. However, because the chain war caused by this war did not end, the Khitan Nine Divisions defeated the Dahe clan one after another, and on the other hand, they were fighting with Murowei. The Sumoshui tribe, who was attacked by the Black Water Mòhé, is frantically looking for Black Water Mòhé for revenge. Silla had already turned his troops and horses around and was fighting against the two sides.
Several forces, fighting on four battlefields, can be described as extremely lively. Chen Kefu now does the first thing every day, is to read the scuffle report of the various parties coming from the Secret Service Division, which is much more lively than watching the football league in the sports newspaper in later generations. Chen Kefu watched it every day, and this time he invited all parties to come to Liaodong, of course, he would not be so kind to mediate a truce between the parties.
Instead, Chen Kefu intends to call them in so that they can create more contradictions.
For him, the harder these peripheral forces fight, the happier and safer he is. He didn't want them to stop fighting.
"Big marshal, deputy marshal asks to see!" Chen Lei knocked on the door and came in, interrupting the battle report that Chen Kefu was happily watching.
"What else do you report when the deputy marshal comes, how many times have I told you kid, please invite the deputy marshal in." Putting down the battle report in his hand, Chen Kefu raised his hand and helped Li Benlei make a cup of tea with his own hands, "Deputy Marshal sit down quickly, something?" ”
Li Benlei handed him a roll of white paper full of words: "This is what I wrote according to the meaning of the commander, the rotation training plan for the officers of the various armies in the Liaodong camp. According to the meaning of the big handsome, the scope of rotation training this time is larger than the previous ones. This time, we will not only conduct rotational training for group commanders, team leaders, and regiment commanders at all levels, but also conduct a collective training for all senior generals at and above the brigadier general level in the Seventh Army. According to the plan, seventy percent of all the generals above the reinforced battalion level in the Seventh Army will be transferred back to Liaodong City to participate in the intensive training. Chen Kefu took it and looked at the names of thirty-one senior generals listed on it, all of whom were officers with the rank of brigadier general in the army. The lowest position was the commander of a reinforced battalion of 4,000 men, and the marching commanders of the other six armies were all in the ranks, except for the central army.
"Marshal, now that Liaodong has not been completely pacified, all of a sudden all the senior generals in the seventh-tier army in various places have been transferred back to the intensive training, is this a little inappropriate? If something happens, I'm afraid that the armies won't be able to deal with it. Li Benlei didn't know why Chen Kefu suddenly wanted to carry out such a large-scale training camp, and he was a little worried for a while.
It was very quiet in the study, Chen Kefu looked at the list quietly, and from time to time he raised his pen to stroke one or two, and from time to time added one or two.
The drunkard did not mean to drink, he suddenly conducted a large-scale officer rotation training at this time, and for the first time, he held a general-level officer training, the purpose of which was certainly not to increase the military quality of the generals. In general, this large-scale transfer is Chen Kefu's start of a reshuffle in the army. Not only that, but he and Mao Xi have already formulated a detailed plan for the transfer of military personnel. ,
Chen Kefu's rebellion has already begun, and the army is the first thing to be mastered. Now Mao Yi's Left Front Army and Lu Shishen's Left Wing Army are still his own Chinese army, which is definitely the henchman of the henchmen, even if he rebels now, basically the officers and soldiers of the three armies will immediately respond. And Chen Gui's right wing army, which was cultivated for inspection, was basically in his hands. When the Sixth Division was first established, Chen Kefu's arrangements for the appointment of officers were already preparing for this aspect. After several months of hard work, with the efforts of Mao Yi, Lu Shishen and other generals in Chenjiazhuang, the army has attracted a large number of reliable middle and low-level generals.
Now it's time to make a move on the soldiers and horses led by Hu Hai, Zhang He, and Liu Tiezhu. Although he was not sure that the three of them would be against him, before the showdown, he had to master the troops and finally have a showdown, so that he could be foolproof.
This large-scale rotation training of officers and intensive training of generals is a cover for this purpose.
First, the senior generals in the various armies will be transferred, and then one-third of the middle and low-level officers will be transferred to rotation training. At this time, Chen Kefu will transfer a group of soldiers who have fought before, and after being promoted, they will not serve in the original army, but will be transferred to other armies.
In this interchange, the Jinyi guards of the investigation department, who have always been infamous, have already done enough investigations. Previously, the investigation Si Jinyiwei had been responsible for monitoring the generals in the army, but it was very secretive. The Secret Service Division has been performing well for several months and is the most eye-catching unit among the divisions of the Field Marshal Division. One mention of the Secret Service Division, that is definitely praised by many people. And the investigation department and even some middle- and low-level officers would not know about this department, this time they got Chen Kefu's order, it was a desperate effort, and it didn't take long for them to come up with the situation in the three armies of Zhang He, Liu Tiezhu, and Hu Hai.
Which officer was close to them, which one was a fellow countryman, and even before they came to Liaodong, whether they knew each other or not, etc., all of them were clearly inquired. Based on this information, Chen Kefu transferred most of all the battalion and regiment-level generals who had the closest relationship with Haohai and the other three main generals to be trained in rotation, some were transferred to each other, and the remaining part was promoted and transferred to other armies.
The officers who were transferred to the three armies were all transferred from the three subordinate units of the Central Army, the Left Front Army, and the Left Wing Army. Not only that, but for the most basic team commanders and non-commissioned officers, Chen Kefu also made a big move this time. The batch of non-commissioned officers in the previous non-commissioned officer lecture hall had been trained for nearly three months, and this time Chen Kefu also transferred these young non-commissioned officers who had been being trained into the lineage to serve as team commanders in the three armed forces.
This was a major blood change, and the low-level and middle-level officers were replaced by lineages loyal to them. After the training of senior generals, Chen Kefu will also rotate a total of 21 positions in the Seventh Army, including the deputy commander of the march, the marching Sima, and the marching commander Shi. When Hu Hai and the others return to the army, if they are not willing to share their hearts with Chen Kefu, they will also appear, except that they are still the nominal masters of the army, they have been hollowed out. Of course, if they have the same heart as themselves, then they have become their own people, and the people below will naturally have to obey the orders of the masters of each army, and they will only be afraid that Hu Hai and others will go against their own orders.
"General Mao Yi from the domestic city and General Chen Gui from Fuyu City don't have to participate in the training, and the rest will come up according to your list. As for the brigadier generals, except for a few people whom I have adjusted, the others are according to your list. Chen Kefu handed the revised list back to Li Benlei with a smile.
After taking a few sips of tea, Chen Kefu said with a smile, "Actually, there is a more important reason for calling them back at this time, and I am worried that after the generals and towns are in one city, the military discipline style will decline, so I specially summoned them back to take care of one or two." Second, the situation in Liaodong and Liaoxi is also very lively, and I have invited all tribes to come to Liaodong to meet the alliance and discuss a solution. This is a big deal, and I need all the generals in the army to discuss it together. ”
"Dashuai, princess Shujian!" Chen Lei walked in and said in a straight voice.
When Li Benlei heard that the princess was coming, he hurriedly got up and said, "Then I'll go back first, and after I go back, I will ask the Secret Service Division to give the list of trained officers to all armies." After taking two steps, he turned back to Chen Kefu and hesitated, "Dashuai, I didn't want to say this, but I will rely on the old man to sell the old once." Dashuai, you have a marriage contract with the princess of Tang Kingdom, but now you are entangled with this Silla princess, I am afraid that it will not end well in the future. Tang Guogong is a member of the Guanlong family, and with his support, the marshal will be better in the DPRK in the future. Now that Dashuai is young, he has made such a great achievement, if there is no one in the court to support him, I am afraid that it will be very difficult, but don't annoy the Li family because of this matter, it will be bad for you. ”
For this father-like deputy marshal, Chen Kefu smiled slightly, "Whether it is a high achievement, or a bird's bow is hidden, wouldn't a general like me always end up like this?" It's just that I, Chen Kefu, am not so picky. If there is chaos today, and the people are not able to make a living, you and I will not be able to blindly look at our feet when we hold soldiers and horses. Chen Kefu's words were already vaguely expressing his intentions to Li Benlei.
Li Benlei's heart shook, his pupils dilated a little, his eyes stared straight at Chen Kefu, and he sighed for a long time, turned around and left without saying anything, but his eyes seemed to be much older. He had always wanted to be a pure soldier, and the sudden information he knew made him unable to calm down...
