The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

The combat troops of the Han Dynasty implemented a regular departmental system, from top to bottom: Jun, Bu, Qu, Tun, Team, Shi, Wu.

The "army" is not permanent, it is usually set up during the war, and when the war is over, "the soldiers will all return".

The “military” and below are the permanent military units, of which the “department” is the basic organization unit, or “battalion” and “campus”. Thousands of people are the permanent system, but there are also some larger "departments", the number of which can reach seven or eight thousand people, which is similar to the "teacher" of later generations.

According to statistics, there are more than 1,120 iron officials, slaves and craftsmen brought by Le Jin, Xiao Xia, and Jiang Hu, including more than 100 craftsmen.

In troubled times, the value of craftsmen is far greater than that of soldiers, especially the craftsmen brought by Le Jin, Xiao Xia, and Jiang Hu are also experienced blacksmiths. It was planned to incorporate them into the combat unit, but instead a "craftsman's camp" was created for them alone. In this way, that is to say, there were less than 1,000 disciples and slaves left who could go into battle to kill the enemy.

In addition to the more than 200 guests under Xunzhen's gate, more than 1,200 people.

Xun Zhen mixed the more than 1,200 people into a "department".

There are six "qu" and one "qu" with 200 people.

Each "qu" is divided into two "tuns", each with a hundred people.

Each "tun" is divided into two teams, each with fifty members.

Each "team" is divided into five points, and each group has ten people.

Each "even" is divided into two groups, with five people in each group.

There were more than 20 people out there, and Xun Zhen stayed as a personal guard.

According to the regular military system, the highest commander of the "Ministry" is the Colonel. The Colonel is a senior general second only to the general, with a rank of 2,000 stone. Although this hastily formed army was not a formal formation, but a militia group, Cao Rong, a mere hundred-stone soldier in Xunzhen, was not qualified to lead it. Therefore, after being formed into an army, the nominal command was still handed over to him. Prefect Wen.

However, although the command was handed over to Prefect Wen, the actual control was in the hands of Xun Zhen—all the officers in this unit were selected and appointed by Xun Zhen himself, and most of them were under his sect. Guests or confidants.

Speaking of which, Xun Zhen also put a lot of thought into the appointment of officers.

Although there were less than 300 disciples and cronies under his command, and most of them were from Xixiang, they had been divided into several hills before they knew it.

One was the Qing Xia who had lived in the Xixiang courtyard, such as Liu Deng, the Gao brothers, the Su brothers, Jiang Hu, etc. Xu Zhong and Jiang Qin were the leaders. One is the natives trained by the original Fanyang Pavilion, such as Shi Juxian, including Cheng Yan, headed by Chen Bao. One is the "Guest Army", that is, those helpers brought by Gao Su and Feng Gong, headed by Gao Su. The other one is the "outsiders", Le Jin, and civil servants.

At this time of employment, no one can feel wronged, and no one can dominate. As a result, there is a balance in the appointment of officers.

After careful consideration, Xun Zhen gave the first song to Le Jin.

Although Le Jin was a foreigner, he didn't have many "criminals" like Xu Zhong and Chen Bao, but he had brought in all the more than 1,000 iron officials and apprentices. This first song was made by him, and he deserved his name, and no one raised any objections.

The first song under the jurisdiction of two villages, four teams, twenty even, forty teams, a total of sixty-six middle and low-ranking officers.

Half were served by the guests under Xun Zhen's family, and the other half were chosen by Le Jin from among the Tieguan disciples.

Le Jin stayed in Tieguan for several months, and attracted some brave Tieguan apprentices to use as his confidants. This time, he was able to pull out the Tieguan disciples smoothly, and these people played a big role. There is a reward for meritorious deeds, more than 30 positions, enough arrangements.

The second song was given to Xu Zhong, and the third song was given to Jiang Qin.

Xu Zhong and Jiang Qin were the first to defect to Xunzhen. They have been loyal for more than two years. They have exterminated bandits, killed the third clan, attacked the village in Xueye, and followed Xunzhen twice out of the city to fight against the Yellow Turbans. Of these people, they have done the most.

As for the chiefs of the villages and teams under the jurisdiction of these two songs, all the chivalrous men under Xunzhen's sect served as leaders.

The fourth song was given to Chen Bao.

Chen Bao was Xun Zhen's "old official" at Fanyang Pavilion. In terms of bravery, he was inferior to Xu Zhong and Liu Deng, but in terms of wit and agility, he was firmly in the forefront among the guests under Xun Zhen's gate. There is an advantage that others can't match, that is, because of his lively nature, he is good at mingling with his followers and convincing them.

In the days when Xun Zhen left Xixiang, he not only lived up to Xun Zhen's request, he firmly controlled the people of more than 100 li who were trained by Fanyangting, and after learning that the Taiping Road would be reversed, he was able to take the lead in the first Time to organize these residents, galloping for dozens of miles at night, rushed to Yingyin rescue. ——Only this one thing is enough to see his ability.

It should be noted that "Limin" is different from Qingxia. Even if they are trained, they are only ordinary people. After learning that someone is about to raise the flag and rebel, these Limin not only did not fear to escape, but under his organization, they dared to run for dozens of times. Here, taking the initiative to go to Yingyin to help, this is very remarkable.

During these few days of fighting, Xun Zhen discovered through observation that Chen Baoyi was quite capable of leading troops. The time is still short, and although it is hard to say how big his "talent for leading troops" is, he will be given a "Qu" and a team of 200 people. I believe that with the ability he has shown so far, he can still lead it well.

In order to facilitate Chen Bao's command, as in the example of the second and third songs, the middle and lower-ranking officers of this song were all selected from his subordinates, that is, from the more than 100 people who were trained.

The fifth song was given to Gao Su.

Feng Gong is also included in this song.

Gao Su and Feng Gong hadn't been out of the city for a few days to fight. Xun Zhen wasn't sure if they had the talent to lead troops, but it was only because the two of them had no hesitation in organizing the guests after they heard that the Taiping generals had rebelled. Jiang Qin, Chen Bao and others went to Yingyinchi to rescue Xunzhen, and they were only for this "Shang Yi light death" friendship, and they had to give them a song.

The middle and lower-ranking officers in this song are all chosen by the two of them from their own guests.

The sixth song gave a job offer.

Wenpin has not yet been weak, and according to common sense, he should not have been appointed to this position, but one, Xun Zhen knows his future achievements, guarding Jiangxia for decades, and shocking the enemy country, and two, it is also the most important , he was the clan nephew of Prefect Wen. As the saying goes, if you don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, even if the civil servant has no generals, he is just a mediocre. It is also necessary for him. ——According to the military system, the highest officer of "qu" should be called "military marquis" or "thousand people", but this is a higher rank than six hundred stone. It is called "curve length".

Wenpin's family is a big family in Nanyang, and there are many guests and disciples in the family, but he is currently studying in Yingyin, and he is a "guest house". There are not many guests with him, only a dozen or so, even if all of them are used as officers, it is far away. Far from enough for a "song". For the insufficient part, some were selected from the guests under Xunzhen's gate, and some were selected from the Tieguan disciples.

Nearly 300 guests, cronies, and more than 900 iron officials and slaves under Xunzhen's family were reorganized after one day's reorganization.

...

The guests and cronies under Xunzhen's sect had weapons, and nearly half of the iron officials and slaves had no weapons.

But never mind.

Yangzhai was the county seat of Yingchuan. By convention, the county seat of each county had a military warehouse, and a large number of weapons were stored in the warehouse.

The reason why Bo Cai first attacked Yangzhai after raising his troops, which inherently intended to capture the thief first to capture the king, first to capture Wen Taishou to cause the whole county to shake, and to capture Xun Zhen and Liu Deng to avenge his younger brother Bo Lian, is that: There is also another important reason for the weapons in the arsenal. Otherwise, the big and small "shuai" under his command would not have followed him and fought **** battles under the city for six days.

As a soldier, Xun Zhen, one of his responsibilities was to manage weapons. Although he was a new official soon after taking office, he didn't know much about the situation in the Hyogo, but when he called the officials of the Cao to ask, he knew the end. The weapons in the arsenal are enough to arm thousands of people.

After the formation of the troops, he took Xu Zhong and Xi Zhicai, two soldiers, Cao Shi, and Wen Pin, the "Chang Qu" who had just taken office, to the prefect's mansion to meet the prefect, and on the one hand, report the situation of the formation of the troops. On the one hand, I asked Prefect Wen for approval to allocate some ordnance.

Prefect Wen agreed.

After leaving the prefectural mansion, Xi Zhicai smiled and said to Xun Zhen: "Zhenzhi, the Tieguan apprentices have already formed a camp. When I was forming the army, I took a closer look. Working in the middle, he looks thin, but he is thin but not lean. As long as he is trained a little, he will be an army of tigers and wolves. Now he has weapons. From now on, this Yangzhai city will be solid.~www.wuxiaspot.com~Tieguan Disciples and slaves have been engaged in heavy physical labor all year round. Although most of them are thin, they are not weak. As long as they are given some time and nutrition, their strength will be better than that of ordinary people. Moreover, most of the work performed by iron officials and disciples requires cooperation. People can't do well, and the iron officials practice militarized management, and they are more disciplined and organized than ordinary people.

Xun Zhen was also very satisfied with the nearly 1,000 iron officials and apprentices, nodded and said with a smile, "With this thousand people, it is enough to protect Yang Zhai."

Wen Pin interjected: "There are still thousands of pieces of ordnance in the Hyogo. Xun Jun, why not take them all out?"

"Remove all?"

"That's right. Those people brought by Le Jun are not only iron officials and slaves, but also more than a thousand commoners and heroes! Why not just compile them into the part?"

Xun Zhen thought to himself, "Why don't I want to!" It's just that these more than a thousand commoners and heroes are no better than iron officials and slaves.

Iron officials and slaves were either criminals or slaves. They temporarily formed an army and incorporated them into their own command. Not many people opposed it. The common people and heroes are all the people of Qimin, the good people of the Han family, Xunzhen, a soldier of a hundred stones, Cao Rong, how can they be qualified to be incorporated into their own men? Even if some of them volunteered to join the army, they would have to come forward and appoint them.

Xi Zhicai also knew about the joints, and laughed: "Isn't the mansion ordered that anyone who wants to kill thieves and serve the country can go to Zhonggong Cao and Wang Zhuo's office to register? Only this newly compiled one." Tie Ying' is already busy enough, where is there time to pay attention to them?"

"It is."

Wen Ping rode his horse slowly, followed behind Xun Zhen's horse, and looked into the distance, under the blue sky and white clouds, the city wall in the distance was majestic.

He said worriedly: "The sentry sent out has been away from the city for a day, and no one has returned to return. I don't know where these tens of thousands of thieves have gone. Where are they now?"
