Qin Official

Xixia Hongmen has a flat land. If a camp is set up, up to 300,000 troops can be stationed. It has always been the gathering place for the Qin army to go eastward. In the early years, Qin Xiaogong sent Shang Yang to march eastward from here. Wang Jian destroyed Chu with 600,000 troops. , and also used it as a base camp to gather soldiers from Guanzhong...

"As I said, the regent currently has three prefectures: Yong, Liang, and Jing, as well as Nanyang and Jiangdong. The two places add up to one prefecture. If it is necessary to conquer, 600,000 yuan is a bit difficult, but at least it can be conquered. Three hundred thousand..."

The speaker's name is Yang Wu. He is in his thirties and is from Xiagui County, Guanzhong. He used to be a military judge in the army of the Qin Dynasty. He is smart and diligent. He has always been good at arguing and analyzed the situation in a clear and logical manner. In Lantian During the great defection, he followed Yang Xi and others in surrendering.

Yang Wu was talking to a colleague from Ning Qin at this time, but his eyes were glanced at the other people in the big tent.

Although it has the strength to recruit 300,000 troops, there are currently only 30,000 troops under the theater.

Therefore, the Qin people surrendered their troops. After the Xihe War ended in August, except for a newly formed "Xihe Division" that was undergoing training and reorganization, they were basically released to go home and harvest.

The Northern Expeditionary Army was also stationed in various places, either in Longxi, in the North, or in Shangjun and Fenlingdu. Some of them were taken to Hangu Pass and Shaanxian County by Dongmen Leopard. Therefore, there are only about 40,000 people in Xianyang, 10,000 of them serve as "Lieutenant Army" and are responsible for the defense of Xianyang City, and the rest serve as "Guardian Army" and are stationed under the theater.

However, as far as Yang Wu knew after asking around, the people present turned out to be a cavalry Sima from a good family from all over the north, named Gan Chong, who had a long history under Han Xin, a military judge in the Dongmen Leopard Army, and some There are many outstanding military officials who surrendered to the Qin army.

In addition to military officials, there are also many Qin officials from various official offices of Xianyang Jiuqing, such as Hui, the son of Anlu Xijun, Zhao Yao, a junior official in charge of food under Xiao He, the captain of Zhisu, etc., and some of them are in the imperial censor. A minor official in charge of the government's books.

He even saw a few alchemists with strange smells on their bodies...

"What are you going to do? Act in a hundred plays?" Yang Wu was a little confused. He asked some people. He didn't have outstanding military achievements, but he was still recommended by his superiors. As for what he was going to do, he didn't know. Everyone All gathered here.

But just the fact that "the regent will receive him in person" was enough for everyone to come here. After reducing rents and taxes, as well as the publicity of Baixi, the regent's reputation in Guanzhong has increased, and it is second only to Qin Shihuang...

While everyone was speculating, the regent arrived.

"Xia Gong is here!"

The Northern Expedition military officials all stood up and straightened their backs. Therefore, the Qin military officials took a step back. Yang Wu stood on tiptoes to see the regent's face clearly. Unfortunately, there was a tall man from the north in front of him. , blocking his view. Also blocked was a short southerner on the left. During the conversation, Yang Wu learned that he was from Nanyang and his name was Lu Sheng.

When everyone bowed together, Yang Wu deliberately bowed a little slowly, and then he caught a glimpse of the regent. He was dressed in military uniform, but unfortunately he couldn't see his face... "The second and third sons have been waiting for a long time."

The regent was very kind and asked everyone to sit down. Many important officials came with him, such as Xiao He, the governor of Su Nei, Ji Ying, the guardian of the army, Chen Wujiu, the imperial physician, Xu Fu, the traveler, Chen Hui, etc...

And once he opened his mouth, it was surprising. "The purpose of calling two or three sons here today is to summarize the failure!" "Why was the battle of Xihe failed to be a complete success, causing Xiang Ji to retreat unscathed." "Why was the battle of Huainan so unsuccessful!"

Everyone cheered up, with surprise in their eyes, and summarized the failure. This really does not look like the Qin army's style...

Anyway, the people present were not ordinary people, and the regent did not shy away. He said that the reason why the two battles were unsatisfactory was that the first was the misestimation of the enemy's strength, and the second was the lack of a good command system. "A good doctor is a good doctor. We can be defeated once or twice, but we cannot be defeated a third time. The world is torn apart and the people are miserable. In order to wipe out the bandits of the six countries as soon as possible and unify the world again, and in order for the three armies to go smoothly in the future, we need to know ourselves and the enemy. The command is as strong as the arm."

"Therefore, General Yu will set up a new official office, which will be responsible for strategic planning of military affairs and serve as a wing for the general!"

This meeting was not long, and the main content was to announce to everyone that they were the best talents in the armed forces and the government, and had been selected into an organization directly under the jurisdiction of the Taiwei, an official office called "Yingying Camp". "I once read "Six Tao" and saw King Wu asking the Taigong: "A king who leads an army must have wings to become a mighty god. What can I do about it?" Fate, destiny lies in understanding and not adhering to one skill; because they can accept their duties, each takes advantage of their strengths and changes at any time, as a rule. Therefore, there will be seventy-two people with arms, arms and wings to comply with the way of heaven. Prepare the number according to the law, and judge and understand the numerology. Special powers and special skills, everything is done.'"

The Taigong gave an example that there should be seventy-two people in the wings, including confidants, counselors, astronomy, geographical advantages, military skills, general food, Fenwei, Fuqigu, Gugu, generalists, powerful men, ears and eyes, minions, wings, Talents in various fields such as travelers, sorcerers, alchemists, and alchemists are in charge of combat, propaganda, espionage, astronomy, communications, engineering, medical care, military supplies, etc.

In short, no one is perfect, and no matter how strong a commander is, he cannot cover everything. He needs all kinds of talents to provide battlefield information and intelligence, and to solve basic trivial matters.

Heifu was shocked when he first read this military book. Isn't this so-called "brachial and femoral wing" the "General Staff" system of later generations? The work is almost the same, except that there is no name like Staff Department.

However, this only exists in the theory of military art. Firstly, this art of war was made by the Qi people during the Warring States Period. It is a secret of the Qi State. Not many people in the world know about it. Secondly, during the period of King Min of Qi, due to the superstitious recruitment system, they paid attention to the recruitment system. The Qi State with elite soldiers was beaten by other countries and was described by Xunzi as a "soldier of national subjugation", and its military system was no longer imitated.

In the Qin State, during the period of the First Emperor of Qin, Wei Liaozi was still responsible for national strategic work. However, after Wei Liao's death, the post of Taiwei was vacant and was no longer established. These tasks were left to the general to set up staff in the shogunate, and to appoint assistants in the shogunate. , counselor of military affairs, is to join the army.

The theoretical construction of the government has been started, and the construction of the army must also keep up. In the past, there was no effort, but now that Guanzhong was captured, the three armies had a chance to rest, and they immediately began to prepare this plan, allowing each army to select outstanding talents who must be literate. And he must be smart and diligent. This is the best candidate to be a consultant.

As for the ingredients, as Yang Wu saw, they are very mixed because they have to engage in different aspects of work. "The three men in astronomy are in charge of the celestial calendar, waiting for the weather, predicting the time, testing talismans, correcting for disasters, and understanding people's opinions and opportunities." These three people are responsible for the wind direction, weather, etc. during war, which are very important during war. For example, weather affects marching, and wind direction affects the accuracy of archery and trebuchets. "The two sorcerers are mainly deceitful, relying on ghosts and gods to deceive people's minds." The other is superstitious activities, which are indispensable in these days. Just think "good luck will win" and that's it.

In both aspects, Taibu Xu Fu took the lead in construction, and the magicians sent to him were responsible for it. "The two alchemists are masters of hundreds of medicines to treat golden sores and cure all diseases. "This is a military medical officer. This is simple, because it was proposed by Heifu many years ago. It has already taken shape in the Qin army. At that time, the barefoot doctors even showed their magical powers. "The four people in charge of food management are in charge of food, storage, and food channels, so that the three armies will not be tired." "The two people in charge of accounting are in charge of accounting for the incoming and outgoing of the three armies' camps, food, and property."

These two are the logistics brigade and the planners. Naturally, they are handled by talents from Zhisu Neishi and Shaofu. "Three people with geographical advantages are in charge of the situation of the three armies and the news of interest; the distance and danger are difficult, and the water is dry and the mountains are obstructing, but the geographical advantage is not lost."

These are carried out by the "public servants" of the Yushifu. The job is simply surveying and mapping maps. The Qin Dynasty was also very developed in this regard. After all, the First Emperor was a map controller..." The five counselors were mainly responsible for planning safety and safety. They considered Wei Meng and discussed the matter. Performing one's abilities, clarifying rewards and punishments, conferring official positions, ruling out suspicions, and determining whether one is worthy or not. ""There are three people who fuse the drum and flag, and the master fuses the drum and flag. He knows the ears and eyes, uses strange symbols and knots, and makes false orders. He comes and goes in secret, and comes in and out like a god."

"There are four men in charge of the army, and the director is responsible for controlling the situation, building ditches, and building barriers to prepare for defense."

Military law, flags and drums, and fortifications. With these three kinds of people to support him, Jiang Ling at least did not have to do everything by himself like Zhuge Liang, and finally died of exhaustion...

"Nine people on the art of war, mainly talking about similarities and differences, success or failure of actions, simple weapons, and illegal assassination."

"Three powerful men, they are the masters of strange and strange things, they set up different things, which are beyond the comprehension of human beings, and they perform infinite changes."

This is the work of tactics and maneuvering, and those strategists and soldiers who have defected to Heifu one after another have a place to use.

"The five minions are responsible for displaying their might and motivating the three armies, so that they can attack the enemy in spite of difficulties without any doubts."

"The four wings are responsible for promoting reputation, shaking the distance, shaking the four realms, and weakening the enemy." "The seven ears and eyes are responsible for hearing and observing changes, and observing the affairs of the four directions and the situation in the army." "The eight wanderers are The master waits for the traitor to change, opens and closes the favor, observes the enemy's intentions, and thinks of him as a spy. "

This is internal propaganda, external propaganda and spy intelligence work, which is completed by Shu Suntong and Ji Ying. "The four men of Fenwei are responsible for choosing materials and strength, discussing military revolution, and they are so fast that they don't know why." This is to select talents. Heifu also plans to set up a military academy in dozens of palaces in Guanzhong in the future to continuously produce educated people. officer.

Of course, he has to offer wine in person! "In addition, there are three people from Tongcai, who are responsible for collecting and correcting mistakes, attending to guests, discussing topics, and resolving problems. "Collect all aspects of information, conduct strategic review work, and finally submit it to the Chief of General Staff, as well as He is the "heart" who rules over these seventy people. "There is only one person who can plan secretly and respond to the soldiers. He can rely on the changes in the sky to take charge of the strategy and protect the lives of the people."

In Heifu's mind, the most suitable person is Chen Ping. It's a pity that Pingping is still in Jiaodong, fighting with Fusu. "Chen Hui, you can take charge of these talented people!"

Heifu finally chose Chen Hui, a strategist who had followed him since Nanyang, as the leader. Chen Hui was among the heroes for persuading Nanyang to surrender.

As a result, the prototype of the General Staff was formed, with 72 people in charge of operations, propaganda, espionage, astronomy, geography, communications, surveying, engineering, medical, military supplies and other aspects of work. Chen Hui, his confidant, directly asked Heifu, who also served as Taiwei. Responsible……

Due to limited conditions, Heifu could only set up a national general staff. He hoped that based on this, he would be able to set up a military regional general staff when the decisive battle with the Six Nations began half a year later. "My destiny lies in understanding, and I don't stick to one skill. Because I can delegate duties, each can take advantage of his own strengths. I hope that all the gentlemen can be my arms and wings!" "You will definitely live up to the favor of the regent!"

Yang Wu, who was selected as one of the nine people in the "Art of War", loudly echoed with others.

After Hei Fu finished the matter, Ji Ying came to him and reported: "Quji sent someone to send an old scribe over, saying that he was a counselor of the Wei State. He crossed the river to join the regent. His name was Li Shiqi. He was important. Military information needs to be reported to Xia Gong personally... "Li Shiqi?" "

Heifu touched his chin.

"This name..." "Why does it sound familiar?"
