Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 928

"Your Majesty, Du Fuwei has brought his assistant Gong Er and Zhang Shan'an into the capital, and Qin Qiong has taken advantage of the trend to advance the Huainan military reform. Now Huainan Road has eliminated the old and the weak, and the province has surplus. There are now [-] soldiers and horses, divided into military mansions, stationed in various important At the office, the officers were exchanged, the fields were allocated to the army, and the military fields were awarded to the sub-fu soldiers, everything was in order."

Wei Zheng smiled and bowed his hands to the emperor to congratulate him.

Originally, a rebellion was resolved because of Du Fuwei alone.

The emperor didn't seem overly happy. To him, the result of this settlement just proved Du Fuwei's loyalty and a little bit of repentance from Fugong Er. In fact, if Du Fuwei didn't go, he also had several plans. Quietly calm down this mess.

"Xuan Cheng, what do you think I will do with Fu Gong Er and Zhang Shan'an?"

Wei Laodao stroked his beard. Among the prime ministers, he had a closer relationship with the emperor. Sometimes, the emperor was willing to discuss some things with him instead of talking with other prime ministers. This kind of trust was extremely rare.

"I feel that Fu Gonger Er is a hero of Lingyan Pavilion after all. Since Conglong's hero of the past has not shown any signs of rebellion, there is no bad result. He repented in time and helped the court get rid of Zhang Shan'an, a traitor. Let it go."

"What kind of lenient punishment?"

"It's better not to announce his treason to the outside world, keep his portrait of Lingyan Pavilion, and keep his title of Duke of Ningguo, but demote him to the frontier to make him repent and atone for his crimes, so as to see the future effect .”

Wei Zheng reminded the emperor that the names of Wang Junkuo and Liu Wuzhou had already been removed from the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and it would be a bit unpleasant to remove another one in such a short time.

If the emperor's heroes all became rebels, that would not be a good thing.

"Then demote Fu Gong Er to Qianzhong Road and become the prefect of Yelang County."

Yelang County is a new county designated by Daqin in the original southwest of Zangke County. Zangke County is very large, almost occupying half the size of Guizhou in later generations. In order to strengthen the rule of the southwest, the imperial court specially designated a new one not long ago. Qianzhong Road, and established Qianxi, Yelang, Qianzhong, Qian'an, Anshun, Zhenyuan and other counties.

At the time of Daye, only one Zangke County here occupied more than half of the territory of Guizhou in later generations, which shows how weak the Sui Dynasty's rule over here was at that time.

The main jurisdiction of Yelang County newly established by the imperial court was in the Zunyi area of ​​later generations.

It is located between the four roads of Yunnan, Jiannan, Bahan, and Hunan of the imperial court, and its geographical location is very important.

The imperial government's business strategy for the Southwest is actually the Belt and Road Initiative, road construction, city building, garrison, farming, immigration, trade, it's that simple.

But the mountains in the southwest will become obstacles, roads are difficult to repair, and cities are difficult to build, especially the aborigines gathered here are Yi people from various tribes. Many Yi people are uncivilized and living in the wild.

Although it is said that the ancient Yelang Kingdom had a history of more than 2000 years, not shorter than the Chinese civilization, it was destroyed during the Han Dynasty, and the Yelang Kingdom at that time was only a tribal alliance. .

Even though the various dynasties in the Central Plains continued to operate southward, the progress was slow.

Although the Southwestern Yi were not as big of a threat to the Central Plains as the grassland tribes, rebellions were commonplace.

It is not easy to completely stabilize the Southwest.

The imperial court plans to build a road that runs through the northern and southern counties of Bahan Road. From Hanzhong to the north, it can also connect Chang'an in Guanzhong in the northwest, and Xiangyang and Luoyang in the northeast.

This road can also extend southward into central Guizhou, and even into Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guangnan. If this southwestern artery is completed, it will be more important than the road from Chang'an to Chengdu to Yunnan.

The newly established Yelang County is at an important node of this main artery.

Therefore, letting Fu Gong Er go to Yelang as the prefect, although it was demoted, it actually gave him a chance to redeem his merits, not to let him go and eat and wait to die.

"Fu Gonger's brain is still very active and energetic, but he was confused and went astray for a while. I hope His Majesty will give him another chance."

"Okay, tomorrow I will talk to Fu Gong Er in person and beat him up, hoping that he can understand everyone's painstaking efforts. As for Zhang Shan'an, this kind of chaotic person, he must be killed and respected."

Zhang Shan'an was publicly executed in Luoyang, and Li Mi, Wang Shichong and others were also notified to watch the execution.Seeing that Zhang Shan'an was sentenced to death by thousands of knives, Li Mi, who was once an anti-king, couldn't help but sweat on his back.He knew that this was the emperor's warning, although he felt bitter, he was helpless.

After killing Zhang Shan'an, the emperor issued an edict to all counties to comprehensively promote military reform and tax reform, and comprehensively assess officials, so that the capable will go up and the weak will go down.

At this time, the imperial court nominally ruled the world, except for Jiangdong, Jiangxi, and Hunan, which had not yet been pacified, and the rest of the country had been leveled.

Andong, Liaoning, Hebei, Dingxiang, Shuofang, Hedong, Shandong, Henan, Huainan, Guanzhong, Longyou, Hexi, Bahan, Hubei, Jiannan, Yunnan, central Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guangnan, actually owned Twenty roads are divided into two hundred and eight counties and one thousand and fifteen counties.

The military reform plan put forward by the Privy Council and the Ministry of War is to implement the government military system while adding the forbidden army system.

The imperial army is composed of 28 armies, each with 8000 soldiers, and a total of [-] people.

They are called the Twelve Army of the Beiya, responsible for defending the six capitals, guarding the imperial city, and accompanying the emperor.The Twelfth Army is mainly stationed in Liujing, and it also takes turns to station in the frontiers. In case of general wars and rebellions, priority is given to dispatching forbidden troops to go out.

In addition to the Twelve Armies of the Beiya, the original twelve guards and four mansions of the original mansion are still retained. The second guard commanded the soldiers of the Nanya Mansion, and military mansions were set up in various provinces in the world, with an establishment of 57, and each guard had [-] establishments.

In addition, there are four mansions in Nanya, the four mansions are Jinwuwei Mansion, Qianniuwei Mansion, Beishenwei Mansion, and Jianmenwei Mansion.These four mansions do not control the soldiers of the foreign government, but only the emperor's personal bodyguards and palace gate guards.

In addition, there are Twelve Army Mansions of the Internal Army, and the internal army is the Mansion of the Three Guards and the Sixth Army of Qin Xunyi, and the Mansion of the Three Guards and the Sixth Army of the East Palace.

The entire Daqin army system is very clear and clear, and the scale is also very large, reaching millions of people.

Among them, the soldiers of the Nanya Mansion belong to the peasants and soldiers who serve as soldiers in wartime and farmers in leisure time, while the forbidden army system is a standing army professional soldier system under the recruitment system.

They are mainly young and elite soldiers selected from the government soldiers. They are paid as soldiers and are professional soldiers.

As for the Nanya Four Mansions, it was the soldiers who came to the Suwei.

The internal army is served by the children of honored officials. These people serve as the emperor's bodyguards and are also equivalent to training military officers.

The reason why the military system of the Sui Dynasty was not fully inherited was because the national policy of the Qin Dynasty was to continuously expand its territory, so it was necessary to have a standing army. The reason for not implementing a comprehensive recruitment system was because the military expenditure of the comprehensive recruitment system was too high, and the Qin Dynasty could not afford it.

Therefore, the Beiya Forbidden Army and the Nanya Fubing Army are actually equivalent to a two-level military system. Under normal circumstances, the Beiya Army is enough. If the scale of the war expands or there is an internal rebellion, the government soldiers will be recruited to supplement it.

The Beiya army was directly commanded by the emperor, while the Nanya army was in charge of the prime minister.The Privy Council, the Ministry of War, the Twelve Guards, and the Twelfth Army respectively hold military orders, military administration, and military command.

Under normal circumstances, the Great Qin court only needs to support the [-]th Army of the North Yam, the Four Houses of the South Yam, and the internal army. While military expenditures are reduced, the combat effectiveness of the Qin Army can be maintained.

In the future, after the feudal lords are enfeoffed, the garrison troops in each vassal's country will also be dispatched from the Twelve Guards of Nanya, within their quota.

The chief generals of the twelve guards of the Southern Yamen are called the Great Generals, and the chief generals of the Twelve Guards of the Northern Yamen are called the Supreme Generals.

The chief generals of the Four Mansions and the Twenty Army Mansions of the Internal Army are called Zhonglang Generals, and they are of the fourth rank.

The content of the military reform is huge, and it will also be followed by a huge exchange of generals within the entire army.

Twelve Great Generals of the Southern Yamen, Twelve Generals of the Northern Yamen, Four Zhonglang Generals of the Nanya, Twelve Zhonglang Generals of the Internal Army, plus [-] Commanders of the Left Commander and [-] Commanders of the Right Commander So, with so many positions, who can and who can't, is enough to cause headaches for the emperor and prime ministers for a long time.

Fortunately, with the lessons learned from Fu Gong Er, the emperor and the prime ministers believed that the military reform should be relatively smooth, and no one would lose their minds anymore.
