Chapter 114 The Power of Darkness

Chen Kefu's explanation made Chen Qing and the others understand immediately.

"Young Master, I was wrong before, please scold me a few words." Chen Qing said embarrassedly.

"What are you scolding you? Since you understand now, let's show your skills. I don't want to spend all our energy at that time. The first and second divisions are not as good as the third, fourth and fifth divisions."

Mao Yi, Lu Shishen and others hurriedly stood up and said, "Young master, don't worry. If you can't satisfy you then, you will twist my head off as a ball."

After the matter was opened, everyone discussed the generals who had their letters and planned to transfer them to the first and second divisions.

"By the way, Mao Yi, how many war horses do we have now?" Chen Kefu thought of an important thing and asked hurriedly.

Now, after the new military reorganization plan is reorganized, the cavalry unit has about 20,000 people, which is basically a two-to-one ratio with infantry. However, it is very important to have so many strong and powerful cavalry people and good war horses.

Both are indispensable. If there is no aspect, the cavalry unit will be difficult to form. If there are no cavalry, no matter how many soldiers there are, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced by then.

Mao Yi calmed down his thoughts, "We have quite a lot of war horses nowadays, not too many, but there are also quite a lot of them. When His Majesty left last time, he basically took all the war horses away. However, General, you had a good relationship with Yu Wen and Taipu Temple. We had nearly 4,000 war horses. After returning from the Battle of Xincheng, you got 10,000 war horses from Taipu Temple. Later, Yu Wenji sent another 5,000 horses to the adults, saying that they were slow horses used to transport supplies and other things. But I have seen those horses, and they were all good horses. Although they were worse than the war horses in Pojun Camp, as long as you take good care of them, you could be used as war horses."

"Also, this time we captured a lot of war horses. There were 30,000 cavalry in the Liaodong city of Goguryeo, and they annihilated 10,000 cavalry when they crossed the Liaohe River. Later, their cavalry was no longer useful. After we broke the city, Gao Jianwu hurriedly fled and took away more than a thousand cavalry. The Liao cavalry basically had two horses, so nearly 40,000 war horses seized in the military camp, but the best-quality horses were only about 20,000. Most of the rest were just like the five thousand horses that Yu Wen and the five thousand horses he sent. They could barely be war horses, but it was not very good."

"In addition, after we broke the city, we confiscated the property of the Liao people in the city, including many horses. Moreover, Liaodong City was originally a trading place for the tribes in the western part of Liaodong. There was a special horse market in the city. Although most horse dealers took the horses away in advance due to the war, there were still many horses in the horse market. We also collected them all, and the horses in the horse market and the horses of the residents in the city together had tens of thousands. However, these horses could only be used for transportation, but it was not difficult to be war horses."

Chen Kefu said in surprise, "We have so many horses? A total of sixty or seventy thousand horses?"

Mao Yi also smiled and said, "Young Master, plus our own horses, there are more than 70,000 horses in total, but there are nearly 30,000 of them, and the remaining 40,000 horses can only be used as transported pack horses."

"There are 30,000 war horses. The number of cavalry after our reorganization is about 20,000. On average, one cavalry can have one and a half horses. OK, I am also worried that there are not enough horses. In this way, during training, we will pick out some horses that can be used as war horses from those bad horses and use them for training horses. Those good war horses will be sent to keep them well, and they will be used in critical battles."

War horses are a valuable resource. Now that the powerful national strength of the Great Sui Dynasty can support them, he must carefully protect the war horses in his hands.

"I have executed those soldiers who violated the order today, what are the comments about the soldiers in the army?" Chen Kefu was still worried that it would affect the morale of the army when he cut off 199 people in the morning. If the soldiers felt that he was cruel and ruthless, that would be bad.

"I arranged my soldiers to pay attention to listening to the discussions in the various military and private camps in the morning. There were a lot of people talking about it. Some people felt that the military law was a bit strict, and that those people violated the military order but did not die. However, many people thought that the young master's military law was strict and that it was appropriate to kill those people. However, no matter what, in general, everyone was not dissatisfied with the young master. After all, you are following the military law, and you later fulfilled your promise and rewarded everyone. Even if you violate the order, you did not miss them, and you did not miss them. Even for those people who were beheaded by the order, you did not miss them. Not only did you send a portion of what they deserved to be sent to their homes, but you also gave one more portion of them. The young master even took out his own property and added another portion of his own. It can be said that all the heroes and the people were convinced, and they all said that you are a good general and worth following."

"I still feel a little regretful to kill them, but not killing them is not enough to intimidate the three armies. Alas, I hope this will not happen again in the future." Chen Kefu said with some loss.

After a while, Chen Kefu hesitated, "I want to form several new departments in the army, first to detect the enemy's intelligence trends. Secondly, it is also to inspect the entire army, especially Li Jie and his party, to prevent them from pulling our backs behind us, or to do something that catches us off guard when it is critical."

Mao Yi and others turned around and understood this matter. If the army is outside and there is no intelligence department, they will inevitably have poor ears and ears. If they are not able to get clear information, it will be very unfavorable for them.

Although there are reconnaissance battalions, these are just patrol troops and armed reconnaissance during wartime. They can't figure out the situation behind enemy lines. If a special intelligence organization is set up to develop secret spies to the cities occupied by Goguryeo, or even send secret spies in Pyongyang, if they can obtain information from the Goguryeo Dynasty, it will undoubtedly be of great help to their situation.

However, the inspector of the three armies mentioned later was an internal institution, and several people could not express their opinions. They nodded in agreement! After all, since they had already embarked on the road to restoration of the country, Chen Kefu would become his king in the future. Being the king and controlling his subordinates was also a master's art, and they had no reason to object.

"The Secret Service Department is newly established, and the Secret Service Department is responsible for inquiring about all enemy intelligence. The personnel belonging to the Secret Service Department staff, referred to as the Agents, are developed by them in various places, such as Goguryeo, and even the grasslands and other tribes of various ethnic groups."

"The investigation department was established to be responsible for inspecting internal personnel, from deputy commander Li Benlei to the commander of the first battalion, all within the scope of the inspection. At present, Li Jie and his party are focusing on monitoring the targets. Not only should they monitor whether they have any evil actions, but they even have problems such as corruption in the logistics battalion of the army are under the management of the Investigation Department. In short, it is necessary to fully control the dynamics of all internal officials. Once there is a disturbance, we can take the initiative. However, one thing is that the investigation department has the power to monitor and cannot arrest or interrogate, and the personnel to which they belong are called Jinyiwei."

"In addition, the police department was established, and all the misconducts detected by the Jinyiwei Department of the Investigation Division were transferred to the police department, and the police department dispatched personnel to arrest and interrogate. The police officers were police."

"In addition to the above three departments, the Gendarmerie Department will also be established. The task of the Security Department is to supervise warfare and picket troops during wartime, and is a law enforcement team in the army. In addition, important military territories, such as city gates, warehouses, docks and ferries, camp gates, generals and offices of various departments, will have Gendarmerie Departments sending people to stand guard and guard on duty. The personnel under the Gendarmerie Department are called Gendarmerie."

Lu Shishen said in a little confusedly, "Young Master, isn't it enough to build a department? Why do you have to separate it and make it into four departments? Isn't this a problem?"

Chen Kefu was silent for a moment and said, "It is necessary to form the Special Service Department, Investigation Department, Police Department, and Gendarmerie Department separately. Depending on the different functions, we separate them separately, which can better carry out their respective work. In general, they are collected from the outside, inspecting internally, arresting and interrogating, and law enforcement guards. These units are relatively important and require confidentiality. Separation can also prevent the opportunity for leaks."

Although this is the case on the surface, the more important reason is that other information departments are necessary. Internal supervision is also a necessary channel for superiors to control their subordinates. These departments are all dark forces in the hands of the king, in order to ensure that their position is not threatened.

It can be said that such a department has great power. Chen Kefu was very worried that if a bad thing, such a department would become a disaster organization like the East and West Factory of the Ming Dynasty, the Jinyiwei, which he had known.

It is necessary to use it, but you cannot let this sword be injured. The only way is to separate power and balance. The intelligence department is divided into two, one against the inside and one against the outside. Moreover, after giving the investigation department the power to supervise, they have to limit their right to arrest and interrogation. The right to arrest and interrogation is handed over to a separate police department, which can prevent unjust, false and wrong cases and prevent someone from using this right to plot against evil.

The final specialization of a military police department and the establishment of a military police force is also for the purpose of law enforcement. With a special law enforcement team, instead of handing over the law enforcement rights to their respective troops, we can better uphold military discipline and prevent people from following their own laws. In addition, we can also provide stricter protection for some important departments and locations.

"Remember, the four departments are directly under the command and are directly responsible to me. Anyone who is not in the Four Departments, without my warrant, shall not interfere in the management of the Four Departments. All personnel under the Four Departments are military personnel, and the highest officials of the Four Departments are the director and the rank of deputy division-level brigade general. Mao Yi, you will serve as the first director of the Special Service Department, Lu Shishen will serve as the director of the Investigation Department, Chen Qing will serve as the director of the Police Department, and Chen Shan will serve as the director of the Gendarmerie Department. You must pull up the shelves and put them into operation in the shortest time."

Of course, Mao Yi and others understood how important these units were. Thinking about it, they were already the heads of each division. They said hurriedly, "Young Master, it's better to leave such an important job to others. Now we are already carrying soldiers, so it's not appropriate to hold such an important position."

Chen Kefu also understood this. If they were really allowed to hold these positions, it would be like letting them monitor themselves, and that would not be of much use.
