Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Chapter 278: The Navy Governor's Office is established and three major naval fleets are formed

At this moment, Li Yuanji's heart was extremely calm. He was indeed very angry when he first experienced it, but now he has calmed down.

If you think about it carefully, it seems normal for these things to happen. He himself designated this place as a controlled area, but this place is particularly remote. It takes more than a month to get here by boat, and once you get here you have to go through inspection before you can enter.

Even if someone is sent to investigate, nothing can be found. As long as you get off the dock, your identity will be known, so people can be prepared.

In addition, his support for this place is so strong, with so many materials and so much money, it is normal for someone to be tempted. Isn't this the original greed of human beings? He is the one who facilitated all this.

As the saying goes, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. If you are too far away, the control you receive will indeed be reduced.

This time, Li Yuanji also saw clearly that under his rule, although he had brought about a complete transformation in Lingnan, and developed Lingnan from a bitter, cold, and smoky place to what it is today, he still could not change the greed of some people.

Not everyone would do their job well and be grateful to him as he had thought in the past. Even though he had never thought about what happened in Leizhou Prefecture, Guangzhou Prefecture, and Nanzhou Prefecture before, this time, he realized that people's hearts would change.

It also made him understand that in his current position, he should be rational rather than emotional.

After reading all the confessions, Li Yuanji closed the book and spoke slowly after a while.

"Draft royal edict."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jianhe, who was standing by, immediately took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone and began to prepare to write.

Seeing that Yang Jianhe was ready, Li Yuanji spoke.

"Wu Shiling embezzled a huge amount of money and grain, and neglected local governance. He should be beheaded and all his property should be confiscated.

All members of his lineage were removed from their household registration, the males were sentenced to work as laborers in wasteland reclamation, and the females were sent to work in the Jiaofang Bureau.

Liu Bi, as the guard of Luzhou Prefecture, not only colluded with Wu Shiling to embezzle huge amounts of money and grain, but also wanted to kill me. He and his family shall be beheaded!

The rest of the three direct clans had their household registration removed, the males were sentenced to hard labor, the females were sent to the Music Bureau, and all their property was confiscated and stored in the treasury.

The rest shall all be beheaded, and the rest, males, shall be sentenced to 20 years of hard labor, and their property shall be confiscated and put into the treasury."

After a moment, Yang Jianhe's voice was heard.

"Your Majesty, it has been drafted."

Li Yuanji nodded calmly, and then said: "Let Cen Wenben pass this matter on to all prefectures, states, and counties. They should all know about it, and at the same time, let the newspapers and publications bureaus publicize it.

Tell everyone that within this king's fiefdom, there is no place outside the law, and all prefectures, states, and counties should take this as a warning."

"Send another letter to Cen Wenben, asking him to reassign people to be in charge of Luzhou Prefecture and Songzhou Prefecture. The two prefectures will be governed separately, and the prefecture chief and prefectural secretary must be sent as soon as possible.

At the same time, the control system of Luzhou Prefecture and Songzhou Prefecture was abolished, and everything remained the same as in other places.

Merchants were encouraged to come and do business, and the government-run business should be established in Luzhou Prefecture and Songzhou Prefecture as soon as possible.

In addition, prices in prosperous and developing areas will be appropriately raised, and taxes will be appropriately raised, and this will be gradually implemented as originally planned.

In terms of military affairs, the Ministry of War was informed that from now on, the armies of Luzhou Prefecture, Songzhou Prefecture, and Dongzhou Prefecture would implement a rotation mechanism, with a rotation every five years.

Please make a plan for this matter as soon as possible, and once this king has reviewed and approved it, it will be implemented immediately."

These things were originally discussed by Li Yuanji and Cen Wenben when they were in Haikang, but they had never been implemented. Now, in Li Yuanji's opinion, it was time to put them into practice.

Especially the military system, Liu Bi's words made him understand a problem, that is, Luzhou Prefecture and Songzhou Prefecture were isolated, and these people here saw no hope of returning.

It's not just these two prefectures, it's also the same with Dongzhou Prefecture. Since there is this problem, let's solve it.

Replacing the garrison troops can sometimes solve many problems. Although the change of guard is a bit troublesome, the corresponding benefits are also worth it.

Moreover, the five-year rotation is just the time for the army to reorganize. Some people who are over the age limit will be kicked out and join the Type B army, or they will be directly discharged.

If a war breaks out, personnel will be replenished and transferred back to garrison next time.

After Yang Jianhe finished writing, Li Yuanji looked at Yang Jianhe.

"Yang Jianhe, the Jinyiwei that you are in charge of must be arranged as soon as possible. Luzhou Prefecture and Songzhou Prefecture, take this opportunity to arrange the personnel. From now on, I will meet with the Jinyiwei in each prefecture, state, and county.

This prince must know everything. You are the most responsible person for the construction and duties of the Jinyiwei, so you should shoulder them."

Yang Jianhe agreed immediately. He felt quite wronged in this matter. Ever since Li Yuanji proposed the Jinyiwei, he had been busy with this matter. Unfortunately, the time was too short and he had to follow Li Yuanji out later.

But Yang Jianhe had no complaints. It was a fact that the Jinyiwei had not yet been deployed, and as the head of the Jinyiwei, he had to take responsibility for it.

"Yes, my king, I will speed up the deployment and spread it to all prefectures, states, and counties as soon as possible."

Li Yuanji nodded indifferently. He knew that the time given to Yang Jianhe was a little short, and he also knew that it was not easy for Yang Jianhe, but these were not reasons.

What he wants now is the result. He has taught Yang Jianhe everything he should teach on how to do it. As for the rest, Yang Jianhe needs to do it.

This incident made him realize even more clearly the importance of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. It would not be enough to rely on the memorials presented to him or the supervision of the Censorate. He must have a supervisory force directly under his control.

Only in this way can he have insight into various places and be the first to know what is happening in various places.

Li Yuanji stopped thinking about it. It was useless to think about it anymore.

"Go and call Liu Rengui in."

After a moment, Liu Rengui walked in.

"See you, Your Majesty."

Seeing Liu Rengui's heavy expression, Li Yuanji smiled and said, "It's ok, nothing happened, relax a little."

Seeing that Liu Rengui had not changed, Li Yuanji stopped caring about him.

"I called you here for something. There is a naval detachment in Luzhou Prefecture and Songzhou Prefecture respectively, each with 2,000 people.

These two navies will be rotated every five years from now on. When you go down, make preparations for this and then come up with a plan and show it to me.

At the same time, you should investigate the navy, especially the original Panyu navy members. I hope Liu Bi is just an isolated case. "Li Yuanji attached great importance to this matter. In the beginning, the navy almost used Feng Ang's navy. The people who were added later were fine, but the only difference was that there was Liu Bi, and now who knows if there are other Bis.

At that time, the navy was short of personnel, and he had no choice. It was a mixed bag, and he could not be picky. Later, when Liu Rengui arrived, he was busy with various affairs, and the navy was expanding rapidly, so he still did not do any personnel reorganization.

But nowadays, it has to be done. Some unsuitable people must be kicked out.

"Please rest assured, my king, I will start cleaning up as soon as I return.

The cleaning plan and the rotation plan will be submitted to the king for review as soon as they are sorted out."

Li Yuanji nodded. He still believed in Liu Rengui's ability. After going through so much, it was time for him to grow up.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news.

There is one more thing, after you go down, you must prepare yourself.

As you know now, our locations are somewhat scattered, and most of them are close to the sea, so it is not enough to rely solely on the current navy.

Later on, I will establish the Navy Governor's Office, and you will be the Navy Governor, commanding the navy, but the navy will also be expanded into several fleets.

Among them, the Dongzhou Prefecture direction will be responsible for the waters of Ryukyu Prefecture, Dongzhou Prefecture, Baekje, Silla and other places. The East China Sea Fleet will be established with a tentative staff of 100,000 people.

In the direction of Luzhou Prefecture, Songzhou Prefecture, including Nanzhou Prefecture, the South China Sea Fleet was established, and the staffing was also tentatively set at 100,000 people.

In Wuzhou Prefecture, Pyu Kingdom, and the Harsha Dynasty, the Western Sea Fleet will be established, with a tentative staff of 120,000 people.

Li Yuanji had long thought of establishing a naval fleet. Now his fiefdom was almost isolated on an island, and the distance from east to west was quite large.

Not only does his current fiefdom need protection, but more importantly, given the future trend, the threat from the sea will be the greatest.

At the same time, he expanded outward, and the influence of the navy was also very great, not only to the west through the Harsha Dynasty, but also to the east through Baekje, Silla, Goguryeo and other countries, the navy was very important.

Even the South China Sea Fleet plays a huge role for Srivijaya and the surrounding small countries, including future expansion towards Australia, which is a must.

Especially in the future, outward expansion will require the navy to cross the oceans. The importance of the navy is self-evident.

Now he only has this much territory, and it is enough to establish the East China Sea, South China Sea and West China Sea fleets. In the future, these three fleets will be far from enough, and perhaps by then there will be a scene of a navy of one million troops.

Li Yuanji was also very much looking forward to the navy. His navy was already at the forefront of the world. When the three fleets went out to fight, which country in the world could stop them?

Liu Rengui listened to Li Yuanji's talk about the three fleet plans. At this moment, he was so excited that he seemed to be injected with chicken blood. His face was flushed, his breathing was heavy, and he looked at Li Yuanji with wide eyes in disbelief.

Liu Rengui really couldn't believe that Li Yuanji actually had such a big plan for the navy. He always thought that the navy was just an additional addition to meet the current actual needs.

It is no wonder that Liu Rengui thought so. Whether it was the former Sui Dynasty or the current Tang Dynasty, they hardly paid attention to the navy.

In the Tang Dynasty, the navy was still called the water army, and its scale was not large. The court's focus was basically on the north.

No matter which dynasty, from Qin to Han, the most they did was to form a navy, and they never thought of going out of the ocean and establishing a navy, let alone establishing a fleet of such a scale.

However, Li Yuanji attached so much importance to it that he renamed the navy and now wanted to form three fleets. The organization of the three fleets was almost no different from that of the army.

How many people does Li Yuanji have in the A class? Only 310,000, but now the navy has a huge establishment of 320,000 people, which has exceeded the army.

All along, not only Liu Rengui, but also other people, whether they were from the navy or the navy, only wanted to cooperate with the army's actions, and never really took the navy seriously.

Although Liu Rengui commanded the navy, he also had regrets. He wanted to be a general in the army. In everyone's eyes, the army was the mainstream and the most important, and the navy was just a supplement.

Now that Li Yuanji has announced the plan to form three fleets, how could Liu Rengui not be shocked? This move clearly shows that the navy is not regarded as a bonus, but a real main force on par with the army.

Liu Rengui was full of disbelief. After a while, Liu Rengui, who was still unable to calm down, asked Li Yuanji blankly.

"Your Majesty, is it true that you are establishing a naval governor's office and forming three fleets?"

Seeing Liu Rengui's cautious look, Li Yuanji immediately smiled.

“It’s true. A Governor’s Office will indeed be established. Not only for the navy, but also for the army.

As for the formation of three major fleets, I can tell you that it will definitely be carried out.

At the same time, I can also tell you that there are three major fleets now, and as the fiefdom expands in the future and the sea areas that need to be controlled increase, the number of fleets will also increase.

But this depends on your ability. If you have that ability, you may have five fleets, ten fleets, or even dozens of fleets in the future."

After receiving Li Yuanji's confirming reply, Liu Rengui became extremely excited and almost danced with joy.

"Your Majesty, I will remember your words. I will build a fleet to conquer cities for you!"

Looking at the excited Liu Rengui, Li Yuanji was very satisfied, and then put away his smile.

"I will remember what you said. If the fleet's combat power is not good enough, I will make trouble for you.

Also, don't be too happy too soon. Three major fleets do need to be formed, but you still need to figure out how to form them. I am only giving you this organization.

When the three fleets are established, the East Sea Fleet will be stationed in Dongzhou Prefecture, the South Sea Fleet will be stationed in Luzhou Prefecture, and the West Sea Fleet will be stationed in Lin Quan. One day, the Pyu Kingdom will belong to me.

In addition to how to plan the core of the three fleets through the current navy, you also need to think about a set of training methods for how to develop the navy, and then hand them over to me together.

After returning, the three major fleets will begin to be formed immediately.

Therefore, you need to sort out the corresponding matters regarding the formation of the three fleets as soon as possible, and you must come up with a charter for how the current navy should be arranged and adjusted."

The three fleets also represent the main force for future expansion in three directions, and are also the focus of Li Yuanji's future planning.

Although we need to expand on land, we cannot stop at sea.

On land, there is Li Er's Tang Dynasty, but on the sea, no one can stop him.
