Chapter 476: Political Affairs

Early the next morning, Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong recruited Ning Qi, Shen Shen, Geng Zhong, Zhao Xuan and other officials to deal with political affairs.

Wei Zeng was led by Ning Qi and participated in the management of the administrative affairs of the county, and Zhang Liang was the chief staff of the plateau, directly obeying the orders of the plateau and participating in all military and political affairs decisions.

Zhang Liang had been to Daijun before, and all the officials knew him, and although Wei Zeng had not been to Daijun, he had actually taken refuge in the plateau a long time ago, so everyone was not surprised that the two of them had joined the official system of Daijun, and they all congratulated Zhang Liang and Wei Zeng.

After being polite to each other, Ning Qicai represented all the officials and reported to Gao Yuan on the affairs of Daijun. In fact, although the plateau has been away for nearly a year, nothing serious has happened in the Daijun area, and the most important thing is that more than two months ago, Li Yinghong sent troops to exterminate the horse thieves who had been harassing and plundering the area outside Yanmen Pass, clearing the way for the residents of the north and the trade route leading to the grassland in Daijun.

And another harvest is that it was originally through the operation of exterminating the horse thieves, but as a result, the radish was pulled out and the mud was brought out, but it was discovered that an anti-plateau group supported by the Qin State and dominated by a group of powerful forces in Daijun was discovered, and this time a total of seventeen powerful people were arrested, and their subordinates reached more than 400 people. However, compared with the rules when the powerful people gathered more than 10,000 people, it has indeed been greatly reduced.

Because after Gao Yuan became the lord of Dai County, he has been vigorously suppressing the local powerful forces and obtaining absolute control over Dai County, and a considerable part of Hao Qiang County has accepted this fact, after all, confronting Gao Qiang is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, so he can only accept the rule of Gao Yuan with peace of mind, and obey the laws formulated by Gao Yuan, although these laws greatly weaken the power of the Hao Qiang, but it is better than completely annihilation. And in the end, there are only a few Haoqiang who just want to fight with the plateau. After this blow, I am afraid that no one will dare to confront the plateau again, unless it is a mistake by the plateau, or a heavy blow militarily.

In the process of excavating Haoqiang this time, Jinyiwei played an important role, found clues from various clues, not only dug up this group of rebellious Haoqiang, but also found the whereabouts of the horse thieves, so it also proved the importance of establishing an intelligence agency.

However, the people who were arrested were all locals from Daijun, but this time Zhao Xin, the organizer of the Haoqiang, was not caught, and according to the Haoqiang confession that was caught, although Zhao Xin claimed that he was supported by the Qin State, it was actually Zhao Xin who was running to contact the organization, and except for Zhao Xin, there were no people from the Qin State who participated, but Zhao Xin was able to take out a large amount of gold to support the activities of the Haoqiang, so it can also be concluded that Zhao Xin was indeed supported by a certain force, but not the Qin State, and it cannot be finalized. You can't know until you catch Zhao Xin himself.

Gao Yuan said: "Zhao Xin's whereabouts must continue to be traced, but in the process of tracking, we must pay attention to collecting more clues and evidence, but we must not arrest people at will and torture them to extract confessions." ”

Because within any regime, it is impossible to be absolutely unified, there will always be some opposition forces, even the Qin State is not excluded, but after the blow of the plateau, the powerful forces of Daijun have been very weakened, even if they have the support of external forces, it is unlikely that they will turn up much Lang, at most they will only find out some news, so as long as there are no major mistakes within themselves, they will not bring too much danger to themselves. Although we should not be careless, there is no need to be overly nervous, let alone expand the striking area.

In addition, Gao Yuan also knows that the intelligence agency is actually a double-edged sword, which must not be abused, and its actions must be limited, and once the power and action of the intelligence agency are not restricted, it will be completely reduced to the furniture of the ruler to maintain his own rule, and the original purpose will be lost. However, now Jinyiwei is responsible for Zhao Xuan, and Gao Yuan has also made a lot of restrictions on Jinyiwei's behavior and power, so it is still within the controllable range.

Now the focus of Daijun is still in the military aspect, before the plateau left Daijun, it was decided to expand the army of Daijun, and the regular army of Daijun was expanded to more than 160,000 people, and now the expansion of the army has been completed, and when Li Yinghong was acting as the governor of the plateau, he grasped the training of the army very tightly, and personally rushed to various places to inspect the training of each legion, so the training of each legion has not relaxed at all.

However, there are still some small things that need to be dealt with by Gao Yuan, first of all, Zhao Xuan officially proposed to Gao Yuan to resign from the position of the chief general of the Wu'an Army; The second is that the armies that went out with the plateau to fight against Wei suffered losses of different lengths and needed to be replenished; the third is that this time more than 35,000 troops were brought back from Wei, how should this group of troops be handled; Fourth, the heavy cavalry of Daijun has been formed, and a total of 3,000 cavalry troops have been trained, so how to deal with this group of troops, whether they are organized into a separate army, or dispersed to other armies.

In fact, all the officials knew that Zhao Xuan was going to resign as the chief general of the Wu'an Army, which was a matter that had been determined a long time ago, and even the successor had already been decided, that is, Jiang Huanwu, who was only temporarily shelved because he wanted to rescue Wei at the beginning of the year. Now that the war in Wei is over, of course it can be implemented.

And in these two battles to aid Wei, the Fan Yong Army led by Jiang Huanwu made many exploits on the battlefield, becoming the representative army that the Qin army was most reluctant to meet on the battlefield, and Jiang Huanwu's own martial arts were outstanding, every time he attacked, he took the lead in the charge, and also won the hearts of the army, so it was logical for him to take over from Zhao Xuan and serve as the chief general of the Wu'an Army, and no one had any objections. Therefore, Gao Yuan also accepted Zhao Xuan's resignation and officially appointed Jiang Huanwu as the chief general of the Wu'an Army.

The losses of the various armies that went to the Wei State must be replenished, of course, but the ways of replenishment are also different, the Beiwei Army is an army with extremely high requirements for teamwork, and the combat effectiveness of the individual is secondary, but the Beiwei Army itself has prepared enough reserve soldiers, so the replenishment of the Beiwei Army is directly selected from its own reserve soldiers; The Shengjie army is an all-infantry army, and the additional soldiers will be selected from among the Wei soldiers brought back to Daijun.

The replenishment of the Fan Yong Army is different from the other two armies, because the Fan Yong Army is an important army in the Dai Army, and after Jiang Huanwu became the chief general of the Wu'an Army, the position of the general of the Fan Yong Army is also vacant, and a new general needs to be reappointed; Therefore, Gao Yuan decided to expand the establishment of the Fan Yong Army to 8,000 men, and divided them into two armies, the left and right armies, with Aranshi Qimo and Pollock as the commanders of the two armies respectively, and the supplementary personnel were selected from the attached nomads. This time, the horse thieves were exterminated, and the attached nomads dispatched more than 4,000 troops, which also played a significant role, and there was enough supply of troops.

The Wei army brought back from Wei was supplemented by other armies, and all the others were turned into ordinary people, and they were resettled in designated places to form villages and open up wasteland. In fact, how to deal with this group of troops, Gao Yuan's heart is also quite entangled, because this group of troops has been trained in the Battle of Daliang, and their combat effectiveness is not weak, as long as they are trained a little and adapt to the tactics of the substitute army, they will definitely be able to become a qualified army. Therefore, Gao Yuan very much wanted to keep this group of troops and organize them into a full-fledged army.

However, the number of Daijun has now exceeded the carrying capacity of the Daigun's population, and if these 35,000-odd troops are organized into a full-fledged army, the burden on Daijun will be further increased, even though Daijun has a large commercial income, it will be difficult to bear. Therefore, Gao Yuan had to disband this army and turn it into civilians.

However, the villages of Daijun are organized according to the five shes, and once the time of war comes, they can be immediately organized into an army to fight. And although this group of soldiers has become civilians, it is not that they do not have the opportunity to become an army again. In the future, if he occupies Zhao Yan's land, his territory expands, and he can afford to raise more troops, it is not too late to further expand the army.

The Wei soldiers had no objection to this arrangement, because most of them were converted from the common people, and the county arranged shelters for them, issued farm tools, planted crops, and gave them preferential treatment before tax exemption in the first few years of land reclamation, so there was nothing bad about becoming common people again.

And the last point is the newly formed 3,000 heavy armored cavalry army, and the plateau does not have the idea of reorganizing them into an army alone, because the plateau knows that the heavy armored cavalry is a branch of the army with equally outstanding advantages and disadvantages, and the impact power on the battlefield and the need for logistics support are equally huge, so in the vast majority of the battlefield environment, the heavy armored cavalry cannot fight alone, and must bring a large number of auxiliary personnel.

Generally speaking, a heavy cavalry should be equipped with at least three war horses and two auxiliaries, because it is impossible for heavy cavalry to march in heavy armor, so before entering the battlefield, heavy cavalry and war horses are not wearing armor, and armor and weapons are carried by other horses to maintain the body of men and horses. And before the battle, in order to put on the armor of yourself and your horses, you need the help of auxiliary personnel. At the same time, auxiliaries were sometimes needed to hold back the enemy and buy time for the preparation of the heavy cavalry. In addition, after the heavy cavalry went into battle, there were people to guard the remaining horses and assembly, and if necessary, the auxiliary personnel also needed to work in conjunction with the heavy cavalry.

The idea of the plateau is to divide the 3,000 heavy armored cavalry into two teams and integrate them into two cavalry corps, so that each heavy armored cavalry will have more than three auxiliary personnel, which can not only ensure the logistics support of the heavy armored cavalry, but also on the battlefield, they can also coordinate with the heavy armored cavalry to better exert the power of the heavy armored cavalry.
