Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 107

The feudal prince's mansion, the meeting hall.

After the preparatory plan for the headquarters of the garrison division was formed, Qianyuan took advantage of the situation to hold a military and political meeting.

The army was headed by military advisor Guo Jia, four generals Zhou Qing, Yue Yun, Tang Sifang, and Xu Rong attended, while only Li Zhong and Cao Rui were among the civilian officials.

At the beginning of the meeting, Guo Jia first introduced the plan.

The headquarters of the garrison division can be roughly divided into two parts, one is the headquarters organization, and the other is the supporting facilities.

The headquarters is located in Qingqiu Mansion, and there are institutions such as merit examination, logistics, military law, military intelligence, and combat. Externally, they are responsible for docking with the government; internally, they are responsible for supervising and serving the various units under the jurisdiction of the garrison division.

The Qingqiu Security Division is the only armed force in Qingqiu Mansion, and the division headquarters is also a fiefdom military institution in a sense.

Although Qian Yuan is the division head of the security division, due to his status, he will not go to the headquarters to sit in charge, but Guo Jia will take charge of the daily affairs of the headquarters.

In terms of personnel, one is drawn from active ministries, the other is selected from veterans who have retired due to injuries, and the third is selected from yamen, mainly scribes.

With Chu Guanjie imprisoned, the government office no longer established the post of Fuwei.Similarly, the following counties do not have the post of county lieutenant, and all relevant responsibilities and personnel will be incorporated into the headquarters of the garrison division.

Although there are not very outstanding talents, it can be arranged reluctantly.

Then there are supporting facilities.

The first is the military granary. It is planned to set up an independent military granary in each of the three counties of Nanguan, Yingshui and Yize to store military rations.

After the granary was built, the military rations were purchased by the headquarters of the garrison division with military expenses, instead of being allocated through the yamen, so as to avoid problems such as shoddy goods by the yamen and inadequate allocation of food and grass.

Followed by the armory, which is also the most troublesome item.

For one thing, there are many types of military equipment, including more than a dozen types of weapons, and they can all forge swords, guns, swords and halberds.In addition to weapons, there are also various types of armor, crossbows, equipment, siege equipment, etc.

Two craftsmen are hard to find.

The minimum equipment used by warriors is fine iron equipment, which cannot be forged by just a blacksmith. Advanced equipment even requires the help of a craftsman.

There is no need to repeat how precious a refiner is.

They are high-level blacksmiths who can forge standard weapons and armor. Everyone is a sought-after item. However, the scale of military equipment is large, and the number of high-level blacksmiths needed is extremely alarming.

After discussing with Guo Jia, Qian Yuan planned to proceed in three steps.

The first step is the simplest requirement, which is to enable the armory to have the ability to repair and modify weapons and equipment, so as to avoid the embarrassment of entrusting it to an outside blacksmith shop.

At this stage, it is planned to set up equipment maintenance workshops in the two major passes of Zhennan Pass and Yize Pass to repair equipment for the frontline troops nearby.

The second step is to have the ability to forge common weapons and armor.

Standard equipment such as knives, swords, and heavy armor are in the greatest demand and have the highest damage rate, so they must have the ability to forge independently.

It's too bad to buy.

The third step, which is the ultimate goal, is to establish a complete system integrating maintenance, modification, forging and research and development, so as to achieve 100% self-sufficiency.

Even have a certain level of equipment research and development.

Zhou Qing, Yue Yun, Tang Sifang and other generals were naturally encouraged after Guo Jia introduced the preparation plan for the division headquarters. They were also more or less aware of the chaos in the army, and it would be great if they could be effectively resolved.

Uncle Zhong and Cao Rui smiled wryly.

If such a huge plan is really going to be implemented, the Yamen is afraid that it will lose another layer of skin.

But I have to do it.

Uncle Zhong knew very well that since His Highness has proposed the plan, he must implement it without compromise, and declared on the spot: "The Yamen will definitely cooperate fully."

Qian Yuan said: "There must be difficulties, let's overcome them."

"I will live up to His Highness' trust!"

Guo Jia and the others saluted together. Although they all felt that it was difficult to handle, they were not really discouraged. Compared with the fifth prince's troubles, this difficulty is nothing.

…………

The next development of the matter was once again beyond Qian Yuan's expectations.

As soon as the preparation plan for the headquarters of the Qingqiu Security Division was announced, Feng Kaishan, on behalf of the Feng family, donated a large house facing the street in Qingqiu Mansion as the office of the headquarters of the Security Division.

A big problem was solved for the Yamen at once.

Other families did not show weakness.

On behalf of the Cao family, Cao Rui promised that the Cao family would fund the construction of three military granaries, and at the same time donate ten senior blacksmiths and a blacksmith shop.

The Tang family had already made great achievements in the field of weapon forging. Tang Xuanjing donated [-] senior blacksmiths and two blacksmith shops in one go.

Zhao Wanming panicked and directly promised that the Zhao family would be responsible for filling the three military granaries with grain.

In addition to the four major families, other big and small families also donated money and materials one after another. Although there was an intention to curry favor with the feudal prince's mansion, there was also some sincerity.

Everyone knew very well that only the garrison division was strong enough to resist the Qingqiu country's invasion and keep their property and family members.

The last time the demon army besieged Qingqiu Mansion, the families suffered heavy losses, and the lesson was profound.

Watching Qingqiu Kingdom sharpening their knives on the side, the entire Qingqiu Mansion was united in a rare effort to do their part for the upcoming war.

This is called "those who have gained the Tao will help more".

…………

A month has gone by in a blink of an eye, and it’s quickly arrived at the end of August.

The war wounds of the spring battle have gradually healed. In the three counties of Nanguan, Baibi, and Yingshui, all villages and towns in the disaster-stricken counties have regained their vitality, and the barren fields are reborn with rolling wheat waves.

Life seemed to be back on track.

It's just that they are in a border area, and the cloud of war has never really gone away. It is reported that Qingqiu Kingdom is planning to launch a new round of attacks on Qingqiu Mansion after the autumn harvest.

It is not only revenge, but also taking the opportunity to loot food.

Fortunately, the Qingqiu Guard Division, which is gradually taking shape, has given the people of Qingqiu Mansion confidence. A division guarding the land of a mansion was simply unimaginable before.

The great victories of the Yize army before and after inspired the local people even more.

We can win!

In the past month, Qingqiu Mansion also did not stop.

In just one month, with the support of a huge amount of funds, the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce has successfully acquired nearly [-] shops, and the size of the Chamber of Commerce has more than doubled.

In terms of scale alone, it can barely compete with the Zhao Chamber of Commerce.

During the period, the Xingkong Grocery Store, which was opened up and transformed from six connected shops, is also Yu Yutian's first super grocery store. It has been renovated and will be launched soon.

The border trade between the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce and the Quicksand Country has also officially started. The first batch of blue and white spirits, soaps and glasses exported caused a sensation in the Quicksand Country.

Driven by two wheels, the Star Chamber of Commerce is already on the eve of its rise.

The headquarters of the garrison division has also been established and started to operate, which means that the Qingqiu garrison division has moved from chaos to order, and further consolidated the combat effectiveness of the garrison division.

It was under this circumstance that the garrison division began the next stage of training - actual combat.

The third brigade led by Tang Sifang, together with the city defense battalion led by Xu Rong, has gone deep into Qingqiu Mountain a few days ago, preparing to wipe out more than a dozen nests of bandits, large and small, active in Qingqiu Mountain.

The one who took the lead was none other than the former head of Qingfeng Village, Zhang Fang.

With Kuangdao, a local snake, leading the team, one can imagine the fate of the bandits in the Qingqiu Mountain area. This move is not only a practical training, but also clears the final obstacle for the Yamen to develop Qingqiu Mountain.

Qingqiu Mountain is rich in resources and has great development value.

Qingqiu Mountain on the side of Yize County is less than one-tenth of Qingqiu Mountain.

In addition, the [-]st and [-]nd brigades have been frequently dispatched recently, deep into the Zulong Mountains, for the purpose of actual combat training, in preparation for the elimination of bandits active in the Zulong Mountains.

The entire security division is sharpening their knives.
