Wu Huaiyu then proposed to reorganize his troops and horses. Douzhou would be regarded as the lower state and retain 800 state soldiers. The five counties of Douzhou would each retain 500 township soldiers.

These soldiers in prefectures and counties are all united soldiers, that is, soldiers who are not released from work. They fight temporarily when there is something to do, and they are released when there is nothing.

Select the young people in the prefecture and county for winter and spring training.

It is completely different from the troops from the Six Towns in Lingnan brought by Wu Huaiyu. The Six Towns are standing troops, who are drawn from the government troops for garrison duty, not to mention the equipment, money and food.

The 3,000 men and horses currently in Feng Shihui's hands need to be reorganized to retain 1,000 state soldiers and 2,500 county and township soldiers, leaving a shortfall of 500.

But this does not mean that Wu Huaiyu will increase his number of troops, but actually reduce his military power.

Because Wu Huaiyu gave the power of mobilizing and commanding the prefecture and county soldiers in each state to the governor and Sima respectively. Only when the two soldiers were in harmony can the prefecture and county soldiers be mobilized. Originally, they could only be mobilized within the state and county.

These soldiers are not standing troops, so they are scattered and returned to the farmers unless they encounter important events such as rebellion or training.

Even if there is an emergency, you have to do both and make a report afterwards.

This is actually equivalent to disbanding Feng Shihui's three thousand private soldiers.

The real most combat-effective garrison in Douzhou will be the front camp of 1,000 men in the left town of Yongning Army, Gaozhou Governor's Office.

The commander-in-chief of the former battalion is called the garrison commander. He is directly subordinate to the garrison envoy of the Yongning Army and takes orders from the Gaozhou Governor's Mansion. However, the relationship between him, the garrison envoy of Yongning, and the governor of Gaozhou is not entirely superior and subordinate. The Yongning Army is under the command of the Ministry of War.

commanding.

Wu Huaiyu was only informing Feng Sanguan, and he was also informing all the Lingnan generals present.

This is not a negotiation.

There was no discussion.

All the troops in the hands of these native chiefs in Lingnan will be reorganized into state and county united troops, and the real regular army in Lingnan will all be transferred from the Central Plains, and even the command will not be handed over to them.

Wu Huaiyu asked Feng Sanguan to immediately start reorganizing Douzhou's 3,500 united troops, and then the first task was to continue to clean up and suppress the disobedient raccoon barbarians in the five counties in Douzhou.

"Xiangguo, according to the previous decree of the imperial court, the six towns in Lingnan were not to transfer 15,000 from the Central Plains and 15,000 from Lingnan? Moreover, it was originally said that the state troops from each state, 1,200 from the upper state, 1,000 from the middle state, and 800 from the lower state were recruited.

ah·····"

"The plan has changed. If you could quell the rebellion early, the imperial court would not have to expend so much effort to mobilize troops from the Central Plains. It is precisely because you have been unable to quell the rebellion that the imperial court changed its plan."

"Since the imperial court has mobilized tens of thousands of troops to go south, Lingnan naturally no longer needs to recruit and retain standing troops. They have all been replaced by state and county united rural troops. This has also saved the court and the local government a large amount of military money and food expenses. The rural soldiers are good and can be trained in their free time.

During wartime, the draft will not go out of the state or county."

There is nothing wrong with Wu Huaiyu’s answer.

You can't handle it, that's why we're here. Now that we're here, what do we need you to do?

From now on, in the six Lingnan towns, these government soldiers transferred from the Central Plains will be the real main force for garrison control. As for the soldiers originally held by the Lingnan chiefs, they will all be united rural soldiers from now on.

"Where is the governor of Benzhou?"

"Feng Shiyi, the governor of Bianzhou, Xiaguan, paid a visit to Xiangguo Wu,"
