Zhu Youjian never understood how important a powerful army is like now. Only by holding absolute strength in his hands can he do what he wants to do. Otherwise, even if he is the emperor, he will not be able to pay his ideas.

All implementations.

So in Beijing, he banned the Beijing camp and established the Imperial Guards. In Liaodong, he did not give up military construction.

The main forces of the Imperial Guards in the past were all in Liaodong, but only more than 30,000 people. More troops in Liaodong were the former Liaoxi soldiers and the Dongjiang army.

The Dongjiang Army is still fine, but the original organization no longer exists. The former Dongjiang Army generals were idle except Liu Xingzuo. The Dongjiang Army is undergoing transformation according to the Imperial Guard model. Liu Xingzuo has seen the strength of the Imperial Guard and is also very cooperative. With time,

It will be completely integrated into the Imperial Guard system.

The Liaoxi Army was more troublesome. The Liaoxi generals were entrenched in western Liaoning for generations, and they were incompatible with each other. It was very difficult to make them give up their interests. When Sun Chuanting was governing Liaodong, he also adopted more measures of comfort.

However, at present, whether it was Zhu Youjian or Lu Xiangsheng, he had decided not to accommodate these Liaoxi generals. There were 30,000 imperial guards in Liaodong shocked and were no longer afraid of these generals causing trouble.

In the western Liao Dynasty, Sun Chuanting was transferred to Nanjing to serve as the Minister of War. Zhao Shujiao, who had a lot of connections with Liaoxigua, also went to Beijing to be their uncle, in order to completely rectify the soldiers in western Liaoning. Moreover, the soldiers in western Liaoning were experienced.

After the Battle of Yongping Prefecture, the losses were huge and it was time to take the opportunity to rectify it.

The situation in western Liaoning is no different from other border towns. A large number of military fields were divided and occupied by generals, and ordinary soldiers became tenants of generals. In the past ten years, the imperial court has allocated millions of taels of silver to western Liaoning every year, relying on

The former generals of the western Liaoning were rich and had the money to support a large number of servants, so the combat effectiveness of the western Liaoning soldiers was quite good among the border troops.

Now, naturally, we cannot allow this situation to continue. We must weaken the strength of the Liaoxi generals as soon as possible and quickly integrate the entire Liaoxi town.

Lu Xiangsheng announced that soldiers would be recruited from western Liaoning to the southern Liaoning and Dingliao Youwei to expand the strength of southern Liaoning and Dingliao Youwei. Dingliao Youwei refers to the area of ​​Phoenix City, Zhenjiang Fort, and the east side of the Liaodong Peninsula bordering North Korea.

The area was lost for more than ten years, like southern Liaoning. In addition, the war just experienced, the vast area is now sparsely populated and a large amount of land is abandoned and idle.

Lu Xiangsheng promised that all military households who were willing to go to southern Liao and Dingliao's Right Guards, regardless of gender, or over twelve years old, would be given land, each with ten acres, and would be given land deeds to them forever.

Most of the military households in western Liaoning do not have their own fields, and they rely on the tenant farming for the generals and fighting with the army to support their families. They are enslaved and exploited by the generals on weekdays, so they naturally want their own fields. Now they are built slaves.

The weakening of strength has no threat to Liaodong. Although going to Liaonan and Dingliao's Right Guards is not as safe as western Liaoning, it is not unacceptable.

So many military households signed up enthusiastically, and a large number of military households took their families and went to southern Liao and Dingliao under the escort of the Imperial Guards. After these military households arrived, the Imperial Guards would help them build houses.

, males will be incorporated into the Imperial Guards. The fields in southern Liao and Dingliao have been developed, and within a few years, the grain will be self-produced and sufficient.

Although the generals in western Liaoning were not happy, they had no choice. They could not stop the military households from rushing towards their happy lives.

Recruiting military households to settle Liao in southern Liaoning, this was just Lu Xiangsheng's first step. Next, Lu Xiangsheng announced that a large number of imperial guards were transferred to Beijing to prepare for the construction of the imperial guards in the capital, so the number of imperial guards in western Liaoning was vacant, especially for the entire

When recruiting officers and soldiers in western Liaoning, whether they are ordinary Liao soldiers, their servants, or even officers in western Liaoning, they can register for the recruitment and be included in the Imperial Guards after passing the assessment.

Since the Imperial Guards were stationed in western Liaoning, they have actually been somewhat contrary to the original Liao soldiers, and the treatment of both sides is completely different. The high salary and high treatment of the Imperial Guards, as well as the brilliant victory in the war against Jiannu, also made the Liaoxi soldiers

He was very envious of the low-ranking officers.

Now that we have the opportunity to join the Imperial Guard, many Liao soldiers are naturally very happy. Even the servants of the former generals were very moved. They were the servants of the generals. Although the salary was much more than that of ordinary soldiers, they were enough to support their families, but

This is the future. If you join the Imperial Guard, you will have the opportunity to make meritorious and promote, or even be awarded the title of general.

Now, everyone has seen that the future of Liaodong must be the Imperial Guard. With the successive victory over Jiannu, the Imperial Guards' power in Liaodong will become increasingly powerful. Now there is a chance to join.

The Imperial Guards became one of them, so they naturally would not give up on this opportunity.

So, for a moment, many Liaoxi officers and soldiers signed up enthusiastically, all wanting to join the Imperial Guard. Although the generals in western Liaoxi were not happy, they could not stop them. They could only watch their subordinates go to the Imperial Guard camp.

Of course, it is not easy to join the Imperial Guard. It must be evaluated. Physical fitness, combat skills, and whether he has committed crimes and violated military discipline in the past, etc.

These Liao soldiers have been living on the front line of fighting with Jiannu for many years. Their combat quality is quite high. They can be good soldiers with a little training. As for whether large-scale recruitment of Liao soldiers will make the team impure and will the ban guards make them impurities?

The army is influenced by the generals in western Liaoning, so there is no need to consider it. Those who join the army will listen to whoever gives money and food. Besides, with the system of the Imperial Guard, they will be quickly integrated as long as they join.

In just two months, Lu Xiangsheng recruited more than 10,000 Liaoxi officers and soldiers into the Imperial Guard. In addition, the Imperial Guards originally in western Liaoxi formed an army of 40,000, including as many as 8,000 cavalrymen. He recruited military households to Liao.

In the south of Liao, they found Liao troops to join the Imperial Guard. These two measures greatly weakened the strength of the generals in western Liaoning.

In western Liaoning, there are imperial guards in every city to guard it. The military households in western Liaoning all go home to plow in spring. Generally speaking, Lu Xiangsheng will not order the gathering of troops or the training of the far-reaching Liao soldiers. In this way, those generals in western Liaoning can master it.

There were only a small number of personal soldiers. The original generals wanted to gather their own troops to train themselves, and it was impossible for them to join their own troops. The money and grain were in the hands of Lu Xiangsheng, so he would not allocate money and grain unless these generals paid for their own money and train themselves.

In order to ease the situation and avoid chaos, Lu Xiangsheng did not use more intense means, nor did he deprive the military fields occupied by these generals. Let's do it first, and wait until Jiannu was completely driven out of Liaodong.

If these Liaoxi generals were honest, it would be okay to let them be landlords, but it would be impossible to just want to gain power.
