National color raw owl

New year, new month, ask everyone for the next monthly pass, the guaranteed monthly pass should have been released, and I hope everyone will help you, and we will have a good year in the Year of the Horse! ——

The sky is high and the air is crisp. This is a good weather. Chu Huan is finally in a good mood for two reasons. One is that almost all the supplies have been brought back from Kunzi Camp.According to the dispatch list of the Ministry of War, the materials transferred by Dongfangxin were brought back almost intact, and these materials were reclassified into the Hyogo.

One of Chu Huan's biggest goals at the moment is to recruit the Governor's Imperial Guard. Although he has already submitted a letter to the imperial court and needs the imperial court to provide equipment and supplies, Chu Huan is very clear, not to mention that this book is still on the way, even if it takes a while It is impossible for the imperial court to allocate weapons and equipment in a short period of time when it is submitted to Beijing.

The southeast is still fighting, and what is even more shocking is that the war in the southeast has not stopped, and the fire broke out in the rear of Gyeonggi. Zhong is very clear, if before King Qingtian made a comeback, the imperial court still had time to take a look at the northwest side after dealing with the southeast war, but in the current situation, the imperial court's energy has been spared to take care of the northwest, and there is little left. The energy must turn to Hebei.

Pei Ji once analyzed with Chu Huan that the main purpose of the emperor sending Chu Huan to Xiguan was to restrain Zhu Lingyue and delay the time so that the northwest would not become Zhu Lingyue's world.

At that time, Chu Huan also agreed with Pei Ji's idea. In order to let Chu Huan restrain Zhu Lingyue, the emperor must give Chu Huan some cards, such as rebuilding the Governor's Guards, such as the imperial court dispatching a batch of military equipment. He will definitely support him, but the situation is ever-changing. What was once a certainty is now changing suddenly. Chu Huan does not doubt that the emperor intends to support him, but he doubts whether the emperor still has such ability now.

The national strength of Daqin is not what it used to be. When the national strength is declining, Xiliang people occupy the northwest, which consumes Daqin's huge human, financial and material resources. , and let the empire spend a huge amount of national power to deal with it. Chu Huan has been in the Ministry of household affairs, and he roughly knows the foundation of the empire. When dealing with Tianmen Dao, the empire may be able to make do with it. It was already stretched. If the emperor's established plan would provide some support in terms of material resources, then the changes in Hebei greatly reduced Chu Huan's hopes.

Hebei is just behind Gyeonggi, and the emperor couldn't help but pay attention to the backyard fire, but the northwest is far away from Gyeonggi, so the fire fighting was naturally rescued from the backyard.

Chu Huan knew that what Pei Ji said was right, even if he was really smart, even if he was really good at martial arts, even if he had the support of Xiguan gentry, but he didn't have an army that he could always drive, then he couldn't gain a foothold in Xiguan. [

It is urgent to re-conscript the Imperial Guards, but if there are no weapons and supplies, and the soldiers recruited are unarmed, then there is really no combat effectiveness to talk about.

Fortunately, at such a moment, I brought back some military supplies from the Kunzi Camp, which was considered a solution to the urgent need.

Another reason why Chu Huan was in a good mood was that the conscription presided over by Pei Ji had already begun, and the conscription order signed by Chu Huan himself had already been issued on the second day when the supplies were delivered from the Kunzi operation to Hyogo.

The conscription order describes in detail the conditions for joining the army, and there are certain restrictions on height and weight.

It's not that Chu Huan judges people by their appearance. Chu Huan knows that throughout the ages, the appearance of countless heroes has been ugly. Talented people do not necessarily have a good appearance, and a good appearance does not necessarily have ability.

But the first batch of conscription, according to Pei Ji's requirements, is mainly to train a core group of soldiers of the Imperial Guard. Physical fitness is really difficult to sustain, and Chu Huan and Pei Ji have reached a consensus on this point, that is, the main purpose of the current conscription is the word "soldier", and it is to recruit a group of brave and strong Northwest children.

Chu Huan knew the importance of talents. He had even discussed with Pei Ji that recruiting soldiers and seeking generals were two different things. After the imperial guards were established, he would issue orders to seek talents.

At this time, in order to establish a strong army, so as to lay a foundation in the northwest, under the current situation, outsiders feel that Chu Huan is weak, and it is really difficult for many people to defect to Chu Huan's command.

Although the conditions of the conscription order are somewhat harsh, it is not difficult in the war-torn Xiguan.

Due to the geographical environment, the physical fitness of the people in the Northwest ranks among the best in the sixteen realms of the Great Qin Empire. In the wind and sand in the Northwest, they not only have a strong physique, but also possess a willpower that is unmatched by people in the pass.

People in the Northwest are warlike in their bones. For a long time, there have been scribes in the pass and generals in the Northwest. After the conscription order was issued, in the name of the Governor's Mansion, with Pei Ji as the planner, he called the officials of the Ministry of War to set up many conscription stations. .

Because the number of the first batch of conscripts was limited, the conscription locations were only set up in Yuezhou and did not spread. In the conscription order, there is also a detailed introduction to the treatment of soldiers. The selected candidates will be They were organized and began to carry out thirteen special trainings, with the survival of the fittest until [-] soldiers were recruited, and these [-] soldiers were formally incorporated into the Governor's Guards and enjoyed the treatment of the Guards.

The imperial guards belonged to a governor's guard and were directly under the governor's control. Therefore, the treatment of the imperial guards in the local army was definitely higher than that of other armies.

The military salaries of the State Army, the Guards Army, and the Frontier Army are all difficult to compare with the Imperial Guards.

It's just that the selection of the Imperial Guard has always been much stricter than other local armies, and it is even more difficult to hold an official position in the Imperial Guard. [

In fact, the governor of each province will maintain a close relationship with the gentry of the province, and the generals in the imperial guards of each province are also full of the figures of the gentry. They will leave some positions for the gentry's children in the Imperial Guard to win over the local gentry.

The treatment of the imperial guards is higher than that of other local troops, but promotion is much more difficult, just like Fat Liu and Wang Han in the Xishan Imperial Guards. Both of them are nearly forty years old. He has served for many years, but now he is only a lieutenant of the Imperial Guard, but once he is promoted in the Imperial Guard, his salary will be greatly improved.

The purpose of being a soldier is to have a bite of food. If possible, it is a great thing to be promoted to honor your ancestors. For most people, the most realistic purpose of being a soldier is to fill their stomachs.

It's just that Chu Huan's conscription order emphasized that the Xiguan Imperial Guards are based on talents. As long as they have the ability, even if they come from a poor family, they can still be promoted.

This is something that has rarely appeared in previous conscription orders.

What Xiguan is short of now is food. It is a luxury for ordinary people to have enough to eat.

Serving as a soldier eats food, as long as he can be selected into the Imperial Guard, he can not only eat food, but also receive military pay. For many men in the Northwest, this is undoubtedly the most attractive way out at present.

Many ordinary people, because of poverty and hunger, were forced to do so, and even took the risk to rob their houses and become bandits. Now they can serve as soldiers and eat food, and they can become regular soldiers of the empire. This is of course much better than being a bandit.

The news of the conscription order spread, and there was an endless stream of people who were conscripted into the army. There was a long queue at each conscription point from morning till night.

Conscription is a major event, but Chu Huan did not forget another thing. After Wei Ji was arranged to live in the Governor's Mansion, whenever Chu Huan was free, he would find Wei Ji to discuss the strategy of governing Xiguan.

Chu Huan deeply appreciates Wei Ji's proposal of equalizing the land and interchanging taxes and corvees, and he feels that under the current situation, it is suitable for Xiguan.

But he is more aware that the implementation of land equalization is really not a simple matter. It takes a lot of time and preparations just to register the population and inspect the land.

This is not something to be anxious about. Chu Huan himself does not have too many opinions on this kind of internal affairs. When discussing with Wei Ji, the main discussion is how to implement land equalization and how to seize land. This is a major issue related to the future of Xiguan. Chu Huan not only needs to know the general direction, but also how to take this road. He knows that there are too many affairs involved in Juntian, and he must not be hasty. This is a new attempt, and the specific implementation process must be Be careful and careful, otherwise if there is a mistake, it will be counterproductive and cause even greater difficulties.

Ever since Wei Ji moved into the Governor's Mansion, Chu Huan appreciated the strategy he put forward. He is full of energy. In this world, talent does not make you stand out. There are many people with great talent, because they don't have enough to display their talents. The platform can only be lost in the crowd, Wei Ji is full of ambitions, but along the way, he bumps into walls everywhere, and now he finally meets Chu Huan who appreciates him, so he is naturally grateful and repays him.

Although he has done detailed research on the implementation of land equalization, but now he is in Xiguan, so it is natural to make a careful plan for the current situation of Xiguan, and he needs to understand the current overall land distribution of Xiguan. This point must be researched The detailed information of many local governments, most of these information were obtained by Chu Huan in his own name from the Department of Housekeeping and the Department of Industry.

In order to allow Wei Ji to make arrangements with peace of mind, Chu Huan even vacated the study in the governor's mansion for Wei Ji to use, which made Wei Ji even more grateful.

In terms of conscription, Pei Ji was behind the scenes, while Juntian was planned by Wei Ji. Every piece of paper and military complemented each other, which saved Chu Huan a lot. He took time to inspect Xixia Mountain. The factory Du Fugong was in charge of The construction speed is very fast. According to Chu Huan's design requirements, it is already close to completion.

While Chu Huan was relieved, Lin Lang was always in his heart. He Shengquan's first group had already arrived at Xiguan, but Chu Huan was worried about Lin Lang in his heart. He didn't know when Lin Lang would appear in front of him. ,
