The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 537 Start

Those who followed Chen Ziming back to Linzi, in addition to the Five Thousand Imperial Guards and Guan Yu and others who came together, now include Liu Zhang and Liu Zhang's whole family. There are more than 500 people, and there are as many as twelve princes alone Don't talk about other county kings and princesses.

In fact, what Zhang Song said was right, and he didn't lie to Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang's surrender to Liu Bei was the best choice. If it fell into the hands of Cao Cao or Sun Quan, it would be a miracle if the nine clans were not wiped out.

In this era, the failed kings were not killed for eighteen generations. Liu Zhang survived and kept his family because Liu Bei was kind and did not want to kill more.

However, regarding Liu Zhang's placement, I'm afraid Liu Bei will have a headache for a while. After all, he has been a monarch and a clan member of the Han Dynasty. He can't be killed or killed, and he can't be released. .

Along with Chen Ziming, in addition to Liu Zhang's family, there are also slightly famous clan heads in Yizhou, and many influential celebrities. Of course, generals at all levels in Yizhou have to be taken away.

In order to stabilize Yizhou and avoid future troubles, Chen Ziming took all the influential figures in Yizhou, packed them all back, and threw them to Liu Bei, whoever he wanted to do with them.

Of course, there was another prisoner of war among them, that is Zhang Ren, a diehard loyalist who has been refusing to serve Liu Bei. Chen Ziming also had nothing to do with this dung beetle. Even Yan Yan was willing to serve Liu Bei, but Zhang Ren just kept silent.

It is absolutely impossible to release a talent like Zhang Ren, even if he can't be used by himself in the end, he can't be exiled to another place. If one day Zhang Ren can't figure it out and takes refuge in Liu Bei's enemy, it's not for himself. Are you looking for trouble?

Anyway, take them back first, and let Liu Bei slowly influence Zhang Ren. Liu Bei is good at this kind of thing. Chen Ziming has always advocated that professional matters be left to professionals. Sometimes, Chen Ziming just felt that it was a pity to cut it with a knife.

Of course, Chen Ziming will not forget the Di tribe, the five chiefs of the Di tribe, and more than a dozen slightly larger tribal leaders of the Di tribe followed Chen Ziming back to Linzi, waiting for Liu Bei's canonization, and then completely controlled the Di tribe.

As for the [-] soldiers and horses of the Di tribe who attacked Yizhou, they are now on standby in Wenshan. Huang Zhong is in charge of their food and grass.

There are also [-] elites selected from the Yizhou Army, who were arranged by Chen Ziming to Liangzhou, under the temporary command of General Pang De. As for Ma Chao, Chen Ziming will return to Linzi with Chen Ziming. This time, Ma Chao contributed a lot to the attack on Yizhou , Legion restructuring, he will lead the army alone.

It is worth mentioning that Yizhou General Meng Da will also follow Chen Ziming to Linzi, waiting for Liu Bei's reward. As for his original soldiers and horses, most of them were dismissed, and the elite stayed in Liangzhou, under the command of Zhang Xiu for the time being.

In this way, a huge team followed Chen Ziming back to Linzi, and Liu Bei led the court ministers to greet him. Of course, it was Liu Zhang, the failed emperor, who had to do what he should do.

Liu Bei took Liu Zhang's hand and walked into Linzi together. The name of benevolence and virtue was passed on to the world. At the same time, Liu Zhang and the minister of Yizhou were also relieved. Since Liu Bei did this, their safety will be guaranteed.

"Hypocritical villain!"

Cao Cao, who was far away in Luoyang, heard about this incident and scolded Liu Bei for his hypocrisy, affectation, and inaction, and at the same time his head began to ache.

However, Cao Cao's men were not idle. They recruited tens of thousands of young men from the newly acquired Yizhou to supplement the soldiers and horses everywhere, increased production, and hoarded strategic materials such as grain and grass.

However, Sun Quan did not express any opinion on this matter. While recovering his vitality, he mobilized troops from various places to gather in the north.

Sun Quan even gave up marching to the south and transferred most of his troops to Yangzhou. Needless to say, Sun Quan also felt that the crisis was coming.

Sun Quan, who was defeated and retreated to Jiangdong, was in a very low mood. He returned in a big defeat for the first time.

However, Lu Su begged to see him, and after a night of secret talks, Sun Quan uncharacteristically issued orders one after another in high spirits, the most important being to expand and shrink the army.

At the same time, he himself returned to Jianye with a large army, and began to integrate Jiangdong's forces and lay out the entire Jiangdong.

And Liu Bei, who was in Linzi, because he was destroyed in the Shu Han and captured Liu Zhang's whole family alive, his prestige rose greatly, and he was at the height of the sky, and the pressure was everywhere.

"let's start!"

Liu Bei issued an order, and a series of imperial edicts were sent out from the palace, accompanied by orders from the military department.

"The navy will establish four major fleets to guard the four major seas of the Han Dynasty!"

The four sea areas cover the entire coastline from north to south in the Northeast of Han Dynasty. The four fleets sound like a lot, but they can be distributed in four sea areas. It is impossible to block the entire coastline. Compared with the sea, the four fleets are still too few.

According to Chen Ziming's idea, the navy needs to be expanded at least ten times, and the warships still need to be improved, but it is impossible to expand the navy now, even Liu Bei will not agree.Of course, it's not necessary, because there are no enemies on the sea now.

Chen Ziming's desire to expand the navy is only for outward expansion. At least the development of the navy must be at the forefront of the world and continue to explore the sea with infinite wealth.

The navy has not changed much, it's just that the navy has been completely dispersed along the coast of Dahan. There has not been much change. The real goal of this military reform is the army.

The first is the appointment of the military department. Of course, Guan Yu is still the head. Zhang Fei and Gan Ning are in charge of the army and the other is in charge of the navy. There is no change.

Then the army commander appointed Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Tai Shici, Chen Dao, Dian Wei, Zhang He, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Gao Lan, Zang Ba, Xu Sheng, Pang De, Zhang Xiu, Qu Yi, Zhang Ji, Pan Zhang, Gao Shun, Yan Yan.

That is to say, in this military reform, the Liu Bei Group will establish [-] legions, each with [-] soldiers and horses, and a total of one million soldiers, to coerce the world.

Of course, in order to appease the heart of the original army commander, Liu Bei promoted all the general commanders to one level, and even made them all marquises, rewarding the three armies, and making extraordinary moves. A marquis can make most generals obey orders.

You must know that the title of a great Han is very rare. Whether it is the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty, or the new Han Dynasty established by Liu Bei, the rewards for titles are very strict. Since the founding of Liu Bei, only Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang waited for a few generals with great military exploits.

As for the prince, there is only one, and that is Liu Zhang. Even Liu Bei's son is not crowned king. As for the princes granted by Liu Zhang, all of them are invalidated, and none of them will be kept. All titles will be revoked.
