The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 390 The emperor and his ministers played against each other, and the Tenth Army was proposed

At this time Fang Xuanling got up and said: "My lord, the majesty of the emperor cannot be violated. The edict must be issued, and the attitude must be displayed. But the battle to conquer the west has just ended, and the new year is approaching. Even if our army does not send troops, the common people I can understand it too! If the southern princes really form an alliance, I have two choices in the Sui Dynasty: one is to close the country like the Western Expedition and ignore it; Come on, the ones who suffer in the end are themselves!"

"Fang Shangshu is right, there are a little too many slaves now, at worst let Xue Tiansha go to the Central Plains and set up another human ladder!" Hearing this, Yang Shidao immediately praised.

Xue Tian kills!

It's Xue Wanjun's new nickname after he got the Heavenly Killing Sword. That guy is not ashamed but proud and complacent.

Yang Tong asked Wei Zheng, "Wei Aiqing, what do you think?"

"Everyone agrees, that's good." Wei Zheng was very surprised. He said that he would destroy the Turkic clan every now and then. Why does everyone think I am a compromiser? It's really weird. Do I have to learn from that Xue Tiansha? Put out a 'human echelon' to do?
"Okay! Then order the world, express your attitude, and let the people of the world know our determination to reunify the country in the Sui Dynasty." Yang Tong nodded, and said: "The imperial edict lists Li Yuan, Wang Shichong, Xiao Xian, and Shen Faxing as rebellious officials. , Officially cut off all the official positions and titles they had before; Li Mi, Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei, Li Zitong, and Du Shihong were listed as the top anti-thieves! Quoting scriptures and swearing."

"Here!" Everyone responded with a smile.

"Your Majesty!" At this time, Fang Xuanling, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, said: "General Gao Yaxian submitted his resignation letter to the Ministry of Officials when he heard about the military reform. Min takes over, please approve it."

"Gao Yaxian has submitted his resignation many times. The reason for his resignation is very simple. He wants to be a general and name a city and a county with his achievements. Now that someone takes over, it can be regarded as fulfilling his dream of joining the army. I approve it." " Yang Tong laughed loudly and said, "Is there any sheriff who wants to give up his pen and join the army?"

"Really!" Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Yao Junsu, governor of Hedong, Deng Hao, governor of Lushun, Zhou Shaofan, governor of Xiangping, and Xue Wanshu, governor of Xuantu, heard that the Ministry of War had undergone a major reform, so they submitted their resignations to the Ministry of Officials for the same reason as elegant and virtuous. Same as the general."

"All approved."

Governing the region is based on stability. Officials only need to implement court policies step by step, and there will be no chaos in the region. They don't need much talent; Commander, Yao Junsu, Deng Hao, Zhou Shaofan, Xue Wanshu just have this kind of talent, it would be great if they volunteered to join the army.

This kind of fighting spirit for victory is also the spirit that Yang Tong has always liked. In the past, it was a helpless move for these talented county guards with both civil and military skills. First, there was no suitable candidate at hand; People sit in frontier counties to respond to sudden wars.Now that civil servants are getting richer and the border is peaceful, it's time for them to do what they like.

"Although there will be no wars with foreign races in the near future, we will be in danger if we forget the battle, so we must not take it lightly. In the future, the chief officials of border counties will be treated specially. Accept the assessment of the Ministry of War. Not to mention the military talent to expand the territory, but must have the ability to defend the homeland for a few months when a sudden war comes. The Shangshu Province must take care of this pass." Yang Tong said seriously.

"Here!" Yang Gongren, Wei Yunqi, and Yang Shanhui stood up and responded. Although the conditions are a bit harsh, there is a new Great Wall on the border of the Great Sui Dynasty, and it is slowly extending westward. These officials are really not fit to be officials.

"Although I also think that Li Yuan, Li Mi, and Wang Shichong dare not attack our Great Sui Dynasty, they can't be careless. If a war comes, we need an elite army to attack quickly. Li Qing, do you have an idea about the legion system mentioned before enthroning?" Yang Yang Dong asked Li Jing.

Li Jing said: "My Majesty, the legion system has been set up, let Keming explain it to you carefully."

"Okay!" Yang Tong looked at Du Ruhui, who is now the Minister of War and Li Jing's assistant.

"Here!" Du Ruhui bowed and said, "My lord, the total strength of the Sui standing army is 61 people. According to my lord's order, it has been decided to divide it into eight legions."

Now with Xinying, the speed of transmitting information is extremely fast.In less than half a month, the number of the whole army was counted.

"The first army is composed of three generals, Luo Shixin, Mai Mengcai, and Xue Wanbei, as the commander-in-chief and deputy commander. It governs the Xuanjia Army and other five armies, with a number of [-]. They are stationed in Yecheng to protect the Holy One;

The second army, with three generals Qin Qiong, Wang Bian, and Zuo Tiancheng as the chief and deputy commanders, governs Jijun and Wuyang. The second army guards the junction of Linhe and Liyang in Jijun. Li Mijun on the other side is also preparing for the future southward journey, with a number of [-];

The third army, with three generals Pei Xingyan, Jia Wuben, and Gao Yaxian as the chief and deputy commanders, under the jurisdiction of Qinghe, Bohai and other standing troops in Jizhou, guarded Bohai County. "

Du Ruhui went on to say: "The mission of the Fourth Army is to defend the Liaodong area. The Ministry of War originally planned to let General Niu Jinda be the main general, but Generals Deng Hao, Xue Wanshu, and Zhou Shaofan abandoned their pens and joined the army. I think that all three of them are more suitable than General Niu. The three generals have been in Liaodong for many years and are quite familiar with it."

"Ke Ming's words are extremely true!" Yang Yu nodded and said, "Liaodong is a place where many ethnic groups and countries exist. The situation is quite complicated, but fortunately there are no major forces, so even if there is a war, it will only be a small-scale conflict. According to me In my opinion, let Xue Wanshu, Zhou Shaofan, and Mai Zhongcai be the commanders-in-chief and deputy commanders! They have poor experience in facing the enemy, but they can handle it completely. Let them garrison in Siping City, Xiangping, and it is very convenient to go south, north, and west. The safety of Liaodong and Youzhou is entrusted to them."

After finishing speaking, Yang Tong signaled Du Ruhui to continue.

After Du Ruhui recorded it, he went on to say: "The Fifth Army is headed by Deng Hao, Xie Yingdeng, and He Panren as the chief and deputy commanders, governing the Hedong, Hanoi, and Jiangjun armies, and stationed troops in the city of Jiangjun to resist Wang Shichong of the Central Plains."

"The Sixth Army You Xue Wanjun, Yao Junsu, and Huang Junhan led the Guanzhong Army to guard Shangluo and prepare for the recovery of Jingzhou in the future."

"The Seventh Army led by Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin, and Qian Jie led the Hanzhong Army to guard Hanchuan."

"The Eighth Army consists of Su Dingfang, Xiang Shanzhi, and Qiu Shili's troops guarding Mingyue County."

"The navy continues to be led by Zhang Zhenzhou. The first fleet guards the Bohai Sea and patrols the Yellow River; the second fleet is stationed in the Changshan Islands to ensure business exchanges and deter Goguryeo and Baekje."

Yang Tong nodded, but according to Du Ruhui's way of assigning them one by one, eight legions are far from enough!Transportation is inconvenient these days. If there is a war in a certain place, the daylily will be cold when the troops from other places arrive, so there must be some.

Seeing that Yang Tong frowned and said nothing, Du Ruhui smiled wryly and said, "With this arrangement, there is a huge loophole in the most critical Yongzhou, but the garrisons in other places are necessary."

"Then set up two more to make up the top ten armies." Yang Tong thought for a while and said, "With this arrangement, there is no need for Wang Fubao's Liangzhou governor to exist, so he will be removed from his temporary position and let him Heyou Niu Jinda and Fan Ze were the commanders-in-chief and deputy commanders stationed in Hanyang; the Tenth Army Corps was dominated by Xue Wanche, Duan Decao, and Su Wu, and was stationed in Lintao. These two armies defended Li Tang and Tuyuhun respectively; Defense."

"The strength of each legion is determined by the severity of the task and the strength of the enemy army. Don't make a fool of me with 20 here against [-], and [-] there against [-]."

"Your Highness, now you should address me instead of me." Kong Yingda solemnly reminded.

Everyone: "..."

Yang Tong laughed loudly: "I was wrong, I must change it!"

Seeing that the military was almost finished, Wei Zheng cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, recovering the land of Yongzhou and Liangzhou is only the first step. I think the most important thing is governance. The two states of Yongzhou and Liangzhou are quite complicated. There are Han people, there are Qiang people, and there are Tuyuhun people. People, different ethnic groups have different beliefs and customs, and forced reform will only be counterproductive. The core value of Hanshu’s scientific research articles is that laws should also be adapted to local conditions. I think this point of view is quite good. Should the court use this as an example to formulate a Set up a system to try it out?"

Yang Tong nodded and said: "Ethnic groups have different folk customs and beliefs. If we force them to change, the world will only be in chaos, but we can guide them according to the situation and allow each ethnic group to retain their advanced and civilized customs. Barbaric and inhuman Belief must be abandoned slowly. As for how to abandon it? It is to formulate a system that keeps pace with us!"

"Different regions have different customs, and people's thinking and thinking are also different. When governing, local officials must not only govern the country according to the law, but also care about human relationships. Human relationships here do not mean personal connections, but local conditions and customs. These things must be adapted to local conditions, but It cannot deviate too much. Therefore, a country does not have one law to govern the country perfectly, but also derives countless sub-laws from the fundamental law, and these must be perfected one by one. Only by seeking common ground while reserving differences in the law can all ethnic groups to live in peace.”

"Officials proficient in the law were selected from the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Imperial Affairs, and Dali Temple, and jointly established the Department of Amendment of Laws to improve the existing laws and formulate laws related to the relationship with various ethnic groups."

Naturally, Yang Tong is not a monster who knows everything. His advantage is that he has more than a thousand years of knowledge. He knows what is reasonable and what is unreasonable, which can provide a general direction for his martial arts. .

"My lord, please give the new law a name." Wei Zheng said.

In fact, the legal system of the Sui Dynasty is quite complete now. Under the "National Law", there are:

"Great Sui National Security Law" Concerning National and Border Security

The Anti-Corruption Law on national territorial sovereignty, positioning and punishing traitors, and promoting national integrity;
The "Military Law" on severely punishing the embezzlement of military pay, bullying soldiers, arresting deserters, supporting the army and supporting family members, post-war pensions, demobilization and re-employment;
"Position System Law" Concerning the Establishment, Appointment and Removal of Officials, Functions and Punishment of Corrupt Officials

"National Property Security Law" Concerning Raising Livestock, Stock Management, and Protecting Public Property from Infringement

"Civil Law" on household registration, marriage, family and other civil matters;
The Resources Act on land, taxation;
The "Education Law" on educating people first and maintaining teachers' morality;
Law and order law on law and order

Commercial Law on Business…

A total of fifteen quite complete sub-law codes!These are the fruits of the hard work of Yang Tong and others over the years.

"The name is "Ethnic Relations Law." Speaking of this, Yang Tong said with a smile: "You can invite prestigious, insightful, and enlightened representatives of various ethnic groups to participate in the formulation of this "Ethnic Relations Law". The customs and habits of the nation, with their assistance, will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"

"The holy majesty is far-sighted, and my minister admires it. With the participation of representatives of various ethnic groups, it becomes clear at a glance what is reasonable and what is unreasonable. When formulating, you can openly talk and formulate, saving a lot of trouble."

Yang Gongren sighed sincerely. Since he followed Yang Tong till now, what Yang Gongren admires the most is not Yang Tong's fighting skills, nor his high-strength military force, but Yang Tong's unique insights on many things. The root cause is always inseparable from the avenue and humanity, and many problems are directly pointed at people's hearts.Take the "Ethnic Relations Law" as an example. This is a matter for the court, but Yang Tong wants some folks to participate. If representatives of various ethnic groups are invited according to Yang Tong's request, it will not only be faster, but also very practical. , can reduce unnecessary troubles and conflicts during execution.

Yang Gongren was really curious, how could Yang Tong have so many wonderful ideas.
