my wife is mulan

This is the ultimate goal. Both Gao Xiu and Xue An were very excited after hearing Zhao Junsheng's words, and they also had a goal that they could act on.

Gao Xiu asked, "General, what shall we do next?"

Zhao Junsheng told the two: "At present, it is not appropriate for us to break with the imperial court, let alone abandon the imperial court and stand on our own. Weijuan, Xijuan, Lai Daqian, etc. are still loyal to the imperial court. Their strength is strong. It's easy to provoke, but the territory they control is not connected to the capital, and they each have to guard against foreign enemies, so they can't move for the time being, so the imperial court seems to be in decline, but in fact it is still very powerful!"

"What we have to do now is to cultivate politics internally, train soldiers and horses diligently, strengthen military equipment, encourage industry and commerce, and support agriculture and mulberry; externally tie up princes to wait for changes in the weather!"

Both Gao Xiu and Xue An felt at ease. After hearing these words, they knew that Zhao Junsheng had planned for a long time, and he did not act blindly.

People do things with confidence.

Pei Jin said at this time: "My lord, my subordinates thought it would be too dangerous to put General Xue in Huazhou, and the situation is not the same as before!"

Zhao Junsheng encouraged him: "Tell me your opinion!"

"The subordinates think that since Leather Leopard doesn't want to see General Xue, he must be on guard against him. His strength is too weak, and it is too difficult to make a difference in the Guanzhong area. Moreover, there are Weis in the east and Xi in the northwest. My family, it is difficult for him to grow and grow in the middle, so it is better to abandon General Xue and this army and horses and come to Youzhou!"

Zhao Junsheng thought about it for a while, and felt that although Pei Jin's idea was good, it was too difficult. Xue An had been operating in Huazhou for so many years, so why should he abandon it?He was afraid that he would also be reluctant. It was easy for him to come to Youzhou alone, but it was not so easy to bring more than [-] soldiers under his command to Youzhou.

Zhao Junsheng asked Xue Andu: "What do you think, Xiuda?"

Xue An said: "Master Pei's idea is good, but it's not very practical. The last general has [-] soldiers and horses who are locals from Huazhou. I'm afraid they will be happy to let them leave their homes and businesses and come to Youzhou; In addition, it is hard to say whether so many soldiers and horses can reach Youzhou through various places along the way!"

Seeing what he said, Zhao Junsheng knew that this would not work, "In this case, you can stay in Huazhou with peace of mind. Your current strength is too weak, so don't conflict with Pi Baozi and Wei Juan! By the way, Is Tongguan in your hands?"

"Yes!"

"Well, keep Tongguan and the Yellow River Ferry well. As long as these two positions are still under your control, you can retreat and defend, and advance and attack! The establishment of the Chishui and Huaxi armies are reserved for you. What do you think? If it can be reorganized, it can be carried out, if it is really not possible, it will be put on hold for the time being, deal with all forces carefully, and the most important thing is to protect yourself!"

Chapter 598

This time, Zhao Junsheng called Gao Xiu and Xue An to Youzhou from thousands of miles away, discussing about reorganization and restructuring is just a trivial matter, the real purpose is to unify with the two of them.

These two people are very talented and talented generals in military affairs, and they are also the earliest people to follow him. Naturally, he wants to unite them all by his side and give them the biggest stage for them to display their energy.

Gao Xiu was very thoughtful in cavalry tactics, and Xue Andu had a strong sense of offense, and he was able to combine infantry and cavalry well to fight.

For these two people, Zhao Junsheng didn't want to lose them. They both had the ability of generals, but not the aptitude and potential of being a prince. Only he can let them show their original brilliance.

Gao Xiu and Xue Andu didn't stay in Ji County for too long, they only stayed for a few days before leaving. Zhao Junsheng even sent them out of the city for more than ten miles before returning.

According to the reorganization plan that has been decided, apart from Wuchuan Town guarded by Gao Xiu and Huazhou in Xue Andu, Zhao Junsheng plans to establish three garrisons in northern Xinjiang, namely Fuming, Xuanrou and Huaihuang, each with 500 troops under its jurisdiction. In addition, the Governor's Mansion and Yuyi Town were established in the location of the Eastern Chile people.

The Governor's Mansion is in charge of the government, and the Yuyi Town is in charge of the army. The garrison is called the Yuyi Army. There are 600 soldiers and horses. In addition to the Chile soldiers of the Chile leader Ba Luotu, there are only 1 taels of officers and soldiers. More than a thousand people, if they are recruited urgently and all the young and middle-aged are called together, they can recruit 3 to [-] people, but they are weak in weapons and battles. It is impossible for Zhao Junsheng to give them tens of thousands of weapons and battles.

For the convenience of command, Zhao Junsheng put Fuming, Xuanrou, and Huaihuang under the jurisdiction of Yuyi Town for the time being.

Youzhou has now become five counties because of the addition of a Shanggu County; Zhao Junsheng established Yingzhou in the former Yan State territory, where the government is located in Longcheng, and has jurisdiction over Liaodong, Liaoxi, Jiyang, Jiande, Changli, and Xuantu. County and Yingzhou are at the same level as Youzhou.

In the original hometown of Goguryeo, Zhao Junsheng established Andong Prefecture, and its government was located in Pyongyang. This prefecture has a relatively large territory, but it is sparsely populated. It governs Buyeo County, Domestic County, Lintun County, and Lelang County.

Zhao Junsheng stipulated that each county can only have 300 county soldiers, and the maximum can not exceed 1000. Each county can only have a maximum of 1000 county soldiers, and each county can only have [-] state soldiers.

The redundant county soldiers, county soldiers, and state soldiers must all be dismantled and sent home to work in agriculture. On the one hand, it can reduce the military expenditure of the local security forces, and on the other hand, it can increase the number of farmers, workers, and businessmen. Bing and county soldiers can also become the security force in the village.

Zhao Junsheng set up the Longcheng Army in Yingzhou, set up a military leader to lead the army, under his jurisdiction 5000 soldiers and horses, and set up a garrison in each county, under the supervision of the garrison leader, and each garrison leader governed two buildings. Set up garrison institutions such as forts, beacons, and post stations. The garrison masters of each county are under the jurisdiction of the military lords, and the security forces are under the jurisdiction of the government. Local officials are not allowed to interfere with the affairs of military institutions such as the army and garrison.

In the same way, Zhao Junsheng also set up the Andong Army in Andong Prefecture, and established garrisons in the counties under his jurisdiction, and set up garrison institutions such as forts, beacons and post offices in the counties.

The Anton Army has 5000 troops under its direct control, and each county has two buildings under its jurisdiction. Each garrison has 500 people. Counting the county soldiers and county soldiers in each county, the total is nearly 8000 people. There are also more than [-] troops in the main battle. Such a strong force deployed on the Korean peninsula is absolutely impenetrable. If someone wants to make trouble and rebel, it is the rhythm of courting death.

For the security forces in the counties and counties of the states, these soldiers and horses are usually responsible for training and maintaining law and order, and are responsible for defending the city during wartime. Under normal circumstances, they are not sent out to fight, and only the garrison can be mobilized.

Take An Dongzhou as an example. There are nearly 8000 main combat troops. If necessary, Zhao Junsheng can transfer 5000 troops and leave 3000 for emergency needs. He can even transfer all 8000 troops when the troops are tense. Walking is used for conquests, and only the security forces can be enough to defend the city.

In Youzhou, the establishment of the Youzhou Army remained basically unchanged, still at 3000 people, and the garrisons under the jurisdiction of each county were abolished, and the garrisons at each pass were retained.

All of the above are just the town garrison army and the local prefecture and county security army. It is called the Chinese Army; the Dragon Guards were also set up separately.

The Hewuwei Army is responsible for the guarding, which is called the Forbidden Army.

There are 1 people in each army in the Chinese army, and 3000 soldiers in each of the Dragon Guards and Wu Guards in the Forbidden Army.

Calculated in this way, the total strength of Zhao Junsheng's command is nearly 13 people, but under normal circumstances, only 10 to [-] troops can be used for conquests. If there is a crisis, [-] people can be gathered.

Regardless of the fact that Zhao Junsheng’s total strength has reached 13, most of them are used to guard the border, such as guarding against Rouran, Kumoxi, Khitan, and the original Goguryeo people, especially the Goguryeo people. troops.

It is absolutely impossible for ordinary princes to support such a large number of troops, but there is no pressure here in Zhao Junsheng. Youzhou is very thorough in collecting taxes. With so many troops, there is still a surplus.

The newly captured Yingzhou and Andongzhou are also stepping up their efforts to collect taxes. However, the gentry, nobles, and officials who conceal the number of acres and population will be severely punished. No one dares to evade taxes under such high pressure and monitoring. tax evasion.

In other princes, money is concentrated in the hands of nobles and officials, but under Zhao Junsheng's rule, the richest is the government, but the government will not save the money, but try to use it to make the money more circulated to collect more taxes.

In addition to the reorganization and restructuring of the military, Zhao Junsheng also increased his investment in the intelligence system. Based on the secret agents responsible for collecting information that Guo Yi was in charge of, he set up a special spy office called the Black Clothes Guard.

In this espionage office, Zhao Junsheng invested a lot of financial and material resources, recruited a large number of people after training and sent them to all over the world, not only the people in black guards in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but also the Southern Dynasties, Beiliang, Rouran, and even Kumoxi, Khitan, There are guards in black in Shiwei and other deep mountains and old forests in the northeast.

In just two years, the spies of the men in black spread all over the world, and all kinds of news spread to Ji County every day, which made Zhao Junsheng well aware of what happened all over the world.

In the past two years, people's livelihood has been greatly improved under Zhao Junsheng's rule, and the society has become more stable. Due to the vigorous suppression by the government, the bandits and robbers entrenched in some forests have also been wiped out. Go down the mountain and surrender.

People everywhere live and work in peace and contentment, various production activities have returned to normal, the area of ​​arable land has tripled, and the output of grain has greatly increased, increasing year by year, which is several times more than a few years ago.

The animal husbandry industry has also been vigorously developed. The number of livestock has increased by [-]%, and fur production has also greatly increased. This has also ushered in a period of rapid development in Youzhou's wool spinning and leather industries, and the scale has increased.

A large number of fishermen have appeared along the coast, and the fishing industry has also begun to develop. In the past, it was very difficult to eat fish in Youzhou, but now there are piles of dried seafood in the market in Jixian County.

Without the war, the rich natural resources in the Northeast have been developed, and a large amount of fur, wild ginseng, and various medicinal materials have been continuously transported out.

A few years ago, due to successive years of wars, the wild ginseng in Northeast China and Goguryeo was almost out of stock everywhere, and those who had stock in their hands were fired at sky-high prices. Now that the war has subsided, a large amount of wild ginseng has been dug out in just two years. , The mountain people all sold at a good price, the merchants made a lot of money, and the government also collected a lot of taxes.

In the past two years, when Zhao Junsheng devoted himself to politics and military affairs, Hua Mulan did not sit idle. Not only did he form the Governor Cao, he solved several major cases, uncovered several corrupt officials, and returned them to Zhao Jun. Junsheng gave birth to a fat boy named Zhao Dong.

Hua Mulan has been working on cases for the past two years when she was pregnant. After giving birth, she also took care of the child while handling official business. If it was someone else, the lower officials would definitely not buy it. How can a woman be an official?How can the officials below be embarrassed to be an official while handling official duties and taking care of children?

But Hua Mulan is not someone else, she is a strong woman, and with Zhao Junsheng supporting her, she is even more powerful in her role as an official.

In fact, Zhao Junsheng also knows that Hua Mulan is a person who can't be idle. If she is asked to stay at home and take care of the children all day, she probably is not happy, and taking care of the children is not a big deal to her.

It's difficult, but with the help of the maid, the case can still be handled with the child.

After returning home in the evening and eating dinner, she can still buy the soles of the shoes for an hour, and sometimes make a dress for Zhao Junsheng. Hua Mulan is a quick-witted person, with quick brain and action reactions, quick hands and feet, and other women. Nothing compares.

When Zhao Junsheng was developing rapidly, the outside world was not peaceful. Xue Yongzong, who was entrenched in Hedong, finally failed to withstand the siege of officers and soldiers.

On this day, Zhao Junsheng was playing a wooden horse with his son Zhao Dong, and Guo Yi hurried over to report: "Your Majesty, news just came that Xue Yongzong in Hedong has been wiped out!"

Hearing this, Zhao Junsheng got up and waved to the maid standing beside him, asking her to take care of his son. He and Guo Yi walked aside to talk.
