Chapter 78: Establishment of Three Armies
Qin Mo's memorial was quickly approved.
The appointment and dismissal of relevant officials mentioned in the memorial were implemented as quickly as possible through a series of imperial decrees under the assistance of Qin Mo, the current Taifu.
At the same time, the news was spread throughout the country through post stations.
In fact, the news that Qin Mo defeated Dong Zhuo and welcomed back Emperor Xian should have spread to all states in the world by now. But until now, the local princes have not reacted at all.
Neither congratulations nor condemnation.
It's as if nothing happened...
The peaceful Kanto region seemed to be about to experience a storm.
Qin Mo knew very well that because of his actions, he had blocked the paths of countless people and hindered the ambitions of countless people. It would be strange if they didn't hate him.
At this moment, they are probably all accumulating strength in secret.
Maybe the eighteen princes will attack Qin Mo again.
At this time, Qin Mo was busy stabilizing the situation in Luoyang, but he was unable to take care of the local area. He could only let it go. At worst, he could do it again later.
…
Among the decrees conveyed by the post station, there was an order that Wei Tianli would replace Qin Mo as the governor of Liaodong.
As soon as the news came out, the players were in an uproar.
Everyone might have guessed that Qin Mo would resign from the post of Jiedushi, and were also guessing who would take the opportunity to take over. The most reliable guesses were focused on Xu Qiang and Zhao Liuyun.
Who could have thought that a dark horse like Wei Tianli would emerge halfway through.
People subconsciously believe that there is an unspeakable deal between Qin Mo and Wei Tianli.
Qin Mo didn't even give any explanation.
The real impact brought about by this was that more mercenary leaders came to the Taifu Mansion to ask to see him, and the gifts they brought were more expensive than the last.
Before, everyone just speculated that Qin Mo had the power to appoint local bureaucrats.
Wei Tianli's example not only fully confirmed the speculation, but also gave a big surprise, which completely piqued the interest of these people.
Each of them is as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Unfortunately, Qin Mo is a man who won't show his strength until he sees the rabbit. These people want to get the position of county magistrate or prefect just by relying on some gifts in the game.
That's too fantastic.
Soon people began to speculate, what on earth did Wei Tianli use to impress Qin Mo?
There were many different opinions at the time.
…
On this day, Qin Mo called the general manager Deng Mao and said, "Prepare a gift, I'm going out."
"Who are you going to visit, sir?" Deng Mao asked.
"Grand Commander Lu Zhi."
"Go to the Taiwei Mansion?" Deng Mao looked a little embarrassed and said, "Sir, firstly, I didn't send the visiting card in advance; secondly, the Taiwei has never been to the mansion before. It's not appropriate to go like this, right?"
It doesn't make sense for a boss to take the initiative to visit his subordinates before his subordinates have even met their boss.
As the general manager, he did his job conscientiously.
"Nothing wrong with that."
Qin Mo is not a person who sticks to etiquette.
At Jia Xu's suggestion, he finally made up his mind, discussed for a few days, and determined a new army reorganization plan. In order to show respect, he naturally had to listen to the opinions of Taiwei Lu Zhi.
Subsequent reorganization also requires Lu Zhi's cooperation.
These are not just tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but more than 200,000 soldiers and horses. The daily consumption of food and fodder alone is an astronomical figure, and the imperial court must be responsible for providing them with support.
Qin Mo can't afford it.
Lu Zhi was not only a respected old minister, but also a veteran general with outstanding military achievements. He was also quite influential in the army and had many students and old friends.
If Qin Mo could really get Lu Zhi's full support, it would be of great help to his administration.
There is no need to worry about which comes first.
Deng Mao couldn't persuade Qin Mo, so he turned around to prepare gifts. This was not difficult. In recent times, the gifts sent by the dignitaries in Luoyang filled up three rooms.
Qin Mo accepted everyone who came to him.
When he left the mansion, Dian Wei was already waiting there with ten Youyun cavalrymen, and the white dragon horse was also led out . Qin Mo didn't like traveling by carriage.
That's complete torture, and passers-by will look at you like a monkey.
After entering Luoyang, Zhao Yun led the Youyun Cavalry to station outside the city, while Dian Wei led 500 elite cavalry to garrison the Taifu Mansion and became Qin Mo's personal guards.
The Youyun Iron Cavalry also became Qin Mo's symbol.
They are called the Black Knights.
Walking on the streets of Luoyang, pedestrians subconsciously retreated to the sides.
Qin Mo, on horseback, seemed expressionless, trying hard to maintain his dignity as a tutor, but secretly he was using all his senses to listen to what passers-by on the street were saying about him in a low voice.
fine.
Perhaps it is because the people of Luoyang know that Qin Mo is the benefactor who rescued them from the clutches of Dong Zhuo, so there are basically no bad comments about him, and there are many who are grateful.
Besides, Qin Mo is not like Dong Zhuo, who commits crimes in the streets every day and does all kinds of evil.
There was no desecration of the palace or arrogance and domineering behavior.
Not only that, since entering Luoyang, Qin Mo has basically never left the house and has been extremely low-key. Deng Mao and other servants also know Qin Mo's character well and dare not do anything wrong.
It really increased the favorability.
Taking into account the good reputation Qin Mo had accumulated from conquering Goguryeo and subduing the Eastern Xianbei, and his youth and potential, his reputation among the people of Luoyang was unexpectedly good.
It is true that there is no harm without comparison.
Qin Mo took a quick look at the street scenes along the way. Most of the damage left by the fire on the city had been cleaned up, and the streets became prosperous again.
The people are in good spirits and most of them have come out of the shadow of the disaster.
Otherwise, why do people say that people have extraordinary self-healing abilities?
Life is like this.
Got to learn to look forward.
The Grand Marshal's Mansion and the Grand Tutor's Mansion were only across the street, and we arrived there quickly.
After the announcement, the concierge did not dare to neglect, let alone let Qin Mo wait outside, and respectfully invited him into the mansion. After a while, he was led to the reception room by the housekeeper and sat down.
Tea is served.
When Lu Zhi received the report, although he was reluctant to meet Qin Mo, the powerful official, he had to meet him because Qin Mo gave him enough face.
Otherwise it would be impolite.
Even if we take a step back, it was Qin Mo who recommended him for the position of Grand Marshal.
You can't always turn people away.
"The Grand Tutor has come to visit me in person. I wonder what advice he has for me?" This old man has a really bad temper.
Like the stones in a toilet, smelly and hard.
"Of course it's about the reorganization of the army." Qin Mo said.
"Reorganize the army?" Lu Zhi's face was full of sarcasm. "All the troops in Sizhou are under the command of the Taifu. How can we reorganize them?" He, the Taiwei, is said to be in charge of all the troops in the world, but it is actually a nominal position.
No real power at all .
Right now we can’t even mobilize a single soldier, so how can we talk about reorganizing the army?
"General, you might as well take a look at this first. It won't be too late to draw a conclusion later." Qin Mo handed over an official letter, which detailed his military reorganization plan.
Lu Zhi seemed to hear something, took it and looked at it carefully.
The more I looked at it, the weirder its expression became.
In Qin Mo's plan, the Liaodong Army's number will be cancelled, and it will be reorganized into three new armies along with all the prisoners of war - the Imperial Guard, the Imperial Guard, and the City Guard.
The Imperial Guards, with a total strength of 10,000 men, were responsible for guarding the Imperial Palace and were stationed near the palace.
Led by Dong Cheng, a relative of the royal family.
Dong Cheng was the nephew of Empress Dowager Dong. After Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, Dong Cheng devoted himself to Dong Zhuo and served under the command of General Niu Fu.
After Tongguan was captured, he returned to Luoyang with Emperor Xian of Han.
Historically, Dong Cheng's most famous performance was the secret edict he planned when Cao Cao held Emperor Xian of Han hostage, plotting to kill Cao Cao. Unfortunately, the plot was leaked and he was killed.
The Imperial Guard, with a total strength of 100,000 men, is responsible for defending Luoyang and is led by Qin Mo.
The city guard army, with a fixed strength of 100,000, was responsible for garrisoning Sizhou and was led by Taiwei Lu Zhi.
In this way, Qin Mo not only voluntarily gave up the power of guarding the palace, but also handed over more than half of his troops. His sincerity was indeed lacking.
"This, is this true?" Lu Zhi's hands were shaking. At this moment, he could no longer see through Qin Mo.
" Of course it's true."
Once he made the decision, Qin Mo remained calm.
