The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

The New Year is here again, and the chaotic twelve years of Jingli have finally passed.

During the war, Song Yingkui's mentality naturally wanted to keep everything simple during the New Year. However, the staff represented by his second uncle felt that the more it was at this time, the less simple the New Year should be. It must be grand and grand. activities unite people’s hearts.

Thinking about it, large-scale events are indeed easier to bring people closer together and promote rapid integration in Anxi, which has a complex personnel structure.

The suggestion of the staff is that during the Chinese New Year, the Dudu Mansion will mobilize social fire teams from various places to Wazhou to hold a performance. At the same time, various states and counties will also organize social fire performances accordingly. This creates a good New Year atmosphere and high participation from the people.

After careful consideration, Song Yingkui's final decision was that it is relatively easy to conduct social fire performances in prefectures and counties. Wazhou will not do this here. On the eighth day of the first lunar month, there will be a school soldier performance, which can not only demonstrate military power but also provide training. The team can also enliven the atmosphere during the Chinese New Year.

"At the beginning of the new year, the war in the Ningxi Acropolis is still going on, and there will be a school military performance on the tenth day of the lunar month. The war in the Central Plains is still going on, and everything is chaotic. We only have two days for everyone during the New Year. It's a day off, I'm really sorry, but I hope you guys can handle it." On the second day of the first lunar month, the first day of work in the new year, Song Yingkui convened the local military and political leaders in the Governor's Mansion to hold a ventilation meeting.

After a few brief greetings, Song Yingkui turned to the topic and said: "Now our administrative area is not small. I thought about it for a while. If we use the previous three or four counties to set up a prefectural administration, the administrative structure will be slightly different. It is bloated and wasteful. Starting this year, states will be removed and merged into governments to make the administrative departments run more efficiently.

My idea is to divide the area we currently govern into Qinzhou Prefecture, Lintao Prefecture, Wazhou Prefecture, Jingzhou Prefecture, Yinzhou Prefecture, Liangzhou Prefecture, and Suzhou Prefecture, a total of seven prefectures. Some previously established state governments will be abolished, merged where necessary, and split where necessary. At the same time, two autonomous leagues equivalent to the government level were established in Sunan Grassland and Qingfan Grassland! Specific matters will be taken under the leadership of the Administrative Department and can be completed within the year. "

When the territory becomes large, it is necessary to build an administrative system with the thinking and model of managing a large territory. It is indeed time to withdraw the state and merge the government.

"After the governor and the governor are removed from the state and a government is established, how should the levels of administrative personnel be determined? It seems that there will be a major adjustment." As an old bureaucrat, the second uncle is most sensitive to levels. Seeing that the governor's office is about to restore government governance, he quickly adjusts the administrative levels The words came out.

"Let's do this. From now on, the Administrative Department will imitate Dazheng's official ranking system! The Administrative Department is a three-level official system, the Supervisory Yuan and the Supreme Court are a subordinate three-level system, the main office of the prefecture-level administrative agency is a fifth-level system, and the county-level The organization is a seven-grade organization, and the grade of each yamen is presumed based on this. In addition, the previous levels of craftsmen and government-owned industry managers have also been changed accordingly. From now on, the status of craftsmen with professional titles and government-owned industry managers will be equivalent to officials. But it’s half a level lower than administrative officials of the same level!”

At a time like this, it's no longer fun to be secretive, so let's just make things clear! There are many benefits to fully switching to Dazheng's official rank. The biggest one is that it can enhance the sense of identity of officials in the system.

"The governors, craftsmen and managers of government-owned industries have officially established their official status. This may cause problems. Since then, are the number of officials in Anxi too much? Furthermore, how will the local government manage these people in the future? It’s a problem, it’s better to separate officials and people!”

"This matter will be carried out according to my ideas. Don't have any scruples! The so-called yamen will not be able to manage it after having an official status. This worry is unnecessary. The reason why I want to give the craftsman an official status is to prevent the officials from the yamen. Manage people well! You administer according to the system and the law, and both the officials and the people can rule you! If you abuse the system, the officials and the people can bully you. If there are more officials among the people, there will be more people to supervise you. This is a good thing rather than a bad thing. " Song Yingkui refuted and criticized his second uncle's wrong remarks and understanding in front of everyone. In Song Yingkui's view, it is imperative to break down the strict barriers between officials and people in traditional society. Paralleling the professional title system and the grade system by imitating the systems of later generations is the only solution that comes to mind.

Although the system of later generations still failed to change the essence of the official position and break the shackles of bureaucratic supremacy, it at least played a role in diluting and blurring it. Let’s tear the hole open first and then talk! The current society has completely negated the bureaucracy, and the people themselves will not adapt to it.

After arranging the restructuring matters that need to be carried out in the administrative system itself this year, the opening meeting discussed the world situation, annual key projects, army construction, and the war on the Qingfan grassland.

The war in the Qingfan Grassland went smoothly. Except for a few large-scale battles at the beginning, the rest were basically security wars.

The intensity of the security war is low, but it requires a lot of energy and troops. Fortunately, the Anxi Army has a clear direction and goal before the war begins. The purpose of entering the Qingbo grassland this time was not to seize land and people, but to set up several bridgeheads and trading strongholds.

It is precisely because the Anxi Army's goal does not have a big impact on the order of the Qingbo grassland on the surface. Therefore, whether it is the upper echelons of the Xibo regime or the tribal armed forces on the grassland, after being beaten painfully at the beginning of the war, their will to resist has been weakened. Less intense.

Liang Huonv reported military information and said: He judged that most of the main forces could be withdrawn in March and April, and only a small number of garrison troops would be left to subdue the Tibetan armed forces and support the trade stronghold.

The biggest gain from this battle was actually Liang Huonv. As the coach of this battle, Liang Huonv not only completed the military mission outstandingly, but also was excellent in her communication and planning, research and judgment of military strategy, and ability to deal with the enemy. To be honest, I can't find anyone with such qualities in the current Anxi army.

In a large-scale invasion-type war, victory or defeat lies not only in the battle, but also in how to prevent the opponent's strength from being fully exerted, how to disintegrate the opponent's fighting will and team, and how to provide more help to oneself and more resistance to the enemy! If Liang Huonv was not the coach of this battle, Song Yingkui believed that the resistance Anxi Army would encounter would definitely be much greater than this.

Also leading an army to fight alone, Wei Dadao fought in places like Hexi where almost all the people of the Central Plains were populated. In combat and advancement, Wei Dadao was not as flexible as Liang Huonv. Logically speaking, an army like the Guining Army is the easiest to divide and win over. In the end, if Gao Cunning hadn't given up resistance himself, the Anxi Army would have had no choice but to smash open Suzhou City with force!

The person who convinced Gao Cunning was not Wei Dadao who led the troops on the front line, but Song Yingkui who had done a lot of work to get it done!
