On the seventh day of the tenth month of the thirteenth year of Jianji, the Holy Emperor arrived at Dahe Pass in Qizhou.
Shao Shude met here with the troops of Kang Yanxiao, the Tujia general who was going south, and gave sword lessons to a group of newly enlisted martial arts students.
As an important tool for transforming the army, the establishment of martial arts was an important measure taken by Shao Shude in his early years.
In order of establishment, there are currently twelve martial arts schools in Xiazhou, Lingzhou, Lanzhou, Tongzhou, Liangzhou, Jinzhou, Yanzhou, Ruzhou, Henan Prefecture, Bianzhou, Beiping Prefecture and Jiangning Prefecture.
It can be seen from this that it is basically consistent with Shao Shude's expansion direction.
Most martial arts schools were established before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and most of them have been operating stably for many years. Only three schools were opened after the founding of the People's Republic of China, namely the Bianzhou Martial Arts School opened in the first year of Jianji's reign and the Beiping Prefecture Martial Arts School opened in the eighth year of Jianji's reign.
And the Jiangningfu Martial Arts School opened this year.
Each martial arts school is divided into two parts: county martial arts and state martial arts.
The county martial arts school has a quota of fifty students, which is generally limited to children under the age of twelve. It is basically filled every year, and more than half of them are given to the children of soldiers who died in the war. The file of each student is personally reviewed by Shao Shude.
He also wrote words of encouragement for entering school in his own handwriting. To this end, he wrote hundreds of sentences a year without getting tired of it.
The enrollment quota of the state martial arts school is not fixed, but it only recruits students in the first five years. After five years, when the students of the county martial arts school advance to higher education, it stops recruiting students from outside. As the superior school of the county martial arts school, it accepts upgraded students year after year.
Training and development.
Twelve martial arts schools provided a total of 550 graduates this year, and today they are all concentrated in Yamato Pass. And the number of students accumulated over the years is countless. Take the earliest established Shuofang County-Xiazhou Martial Arts School, since Guangqi
Starting from the first year (885), a total of 1,107 martial arts students have been sent to various armies.
Among the more than a thousand people, the oldest is 41 years old and serves as the deputy envoy of the right wing of General Tu, while the youngest is 17 years old and serves as the deputy of the Tianxiong Army.
Of course, it is impossible for all of the more than a thousand people to be alive, because martial arts students are hardworking and brave enough, and have a high battle casualty rate. After years of fighting, more than 300 people have quit due to battle deaths, battle injuries, and illness. Most of them are serving as
He died on the battlefield as a junior officer.
Huile County-Lingzhou Martial Arts School offers the second largest number of students, with 1,053 students.
The third place is Jincheng County-Lanzhou Martial Arts, with 927 people.
The fourth place is Tongzhou, the fifth place is Liangzhou, and the sixth place is Jinzhou, with 795, 743, and 699 people respectively...
Shao Shude often said that time is his friend. Since he opened Xiazhou Martial Arts School 28 years ago, his relationship with time has become deeper and deeper.
The Tianxiong Army has less than 2,000 officers, large and small, who have completed their martial arts training. This unit is also the most powerful one among the various branches of the Forbidden Army.
Tujiangjun is the second martial arts unit.
The Longxiang Army is the third force to carry out martial arts training, and more than half of it has been completed. Completing martial arts training requires not only a sufficient number of officers, but also the ability of the officers, matching positions, etc., which is relatively complicated. Generally,
Generally speaking, if more than two-thirds of the officers are martial arts students, it means that they have completed martial arts training.
But regardless of the progress, Shao Shude has been working hard to promote this work over the years. Because the martial arts students have experienced his "ten years" of care and more than ten years of loyal and patriotic education since childhood, loyalty and reliability are the most important factors.
pretty good.
When the top soldiers have the urge to cause trouble, if the rank and file deputy is a martial arts student, they are likely to suppress it. Moreover, under their subtle influence, the atmosphere in the army will also change to a certain extent.
For the new dynasty of Daxia, this may be the most positive aspect.
"Cui Conghui!" Shao Shude handed the brand-new Tea Mountain Sword to a nineteen-year-old young man and said, "Your family is studying literature, right?"
"Go back to the general office. My ancestors and family honors are all tribute scholars from my hometown." Cui Conghui took the sword, took a step back, and replied respectfully.
After passing the state-level examination and selection, one is considered a Xiang Gong Jinshi, and one can go to the capital to take the official Jinshi examination - since the Tang Dynasty, Xiang Gong Jinshi has no special privileges, it is just a status.
"Do you still remember what I wrote to you?" Shao Shude asked.
"Today the Rong is in the Yin Dynasty. The superiors are worried and tired. You are born in literature. You should study hard and practice hard, and be loyal and trustworthy. In the future, you will be divided into counties and talismans, and you will also be the general Rong town. It is an ordinary thing." Cui Conghui read word by word.
After reading it, his face was filled with excitement.
The original meaning of "junfu" and "rongzhen" is to be the governor and the governor, but now there is no more. The actual meaning is that if you study hard, it will not be a problem to command the soldiers of a state or even an aspect of war in the future.
"Do a good job." Shao Shude arranged his shirt carefully, and then taught the next person the sword.
"Qian Cen!" Shao Shude handed the Chashan Sword to the other party and said, "Are you a son of a guard?"
"Yes, my father is a garrison soldier at Hehuan Palace in Shangyang Palace, Luoyang." Qian Cen replied.
"I know your grandpa." Shao Shude smiled and said: "When I wrote my review to you, I mentioned your father's contribution, do you still remember?"
"Feather guards and minions, day and night patrols. Loyalty and diligence, honesty and integrity." Qian Cen replied.
"Both of you, father and son, are my minions and confidants. Without you, how would I come to this world? I might not even be able to sleep well," Shao Shude said.
"Students will definitely 'fight hard and sacrifice their lives' in order to repay the kindness of the General Office." Qian Cen said loudly.
Shao Shude smiled slightly and patted his shoulder.
"Fighting in battle and sacrificing one's life" is how Shao Shude described the scene when his father fought bravely. Today, his son answered with such words. He was deeply moved by the two generations of father and son serving the country bravely.
This is his ability to dominate the world.
This is his rock-solid foundation.
This is the reason why others can only tremble in front of him.
This world belongs to him alone.
This army belongs to him alone.
Even though he is old, no one can challenge his authority.
Anyone who wants to give it a try can listen to the cheers of the Forbidden Army soldiers and see who they are directed towards.
Shao Shude took the trouble to teach the swords one by one.
Kang Yanxiao, Zhe Butai, Li Yanwei, Tian Xing, Wei Rang and other senior Tujia generals waited quietly with mixed feelings in their hearts.
They didn't object.
In fact, careerists are only a minority after all, and there are very few high-ranking officials and generals who have other ideas. The premise is that you don't get coerced by the low-level warriors.
But when I saw the officers I had brought with me all year round worshiping in front of the saint, I still felt very complicated - quite a few of these 550 people had been interning with General Tu for a year.
No one else can pull this kind of troops away.
Kang Yanxiao often came into contact with student military officers, and always felt that he was incompatible with the ideas of these stupid young people who had been "brainwashed" for ten years. He sometimes always thought that when old officers like them got older, student military officers would take the lead.
What will the Custodes look like when the time comes?
Of course, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing for people like them who are already successful. They are already rich, and the most important thing now is to keep their existing wealth and not be overthrown by others. Continuing to support the Shao family may be a way to keep their wealth.
The simplest and most direct way.
However, the old military officer's path has not been completely cut off.
Today seems to like "compromise" very much.
In the officialdom, civil servants through imperial examinations are not allowed to dominate the world.
In the army, martial arts students should not be able to hold all positions. There are many channels for guards to be sent out, troops to be recruited, general disciples, new servants, etc.
The lengthy sword teaching process finally ended after half a day.
Kang Yanxiao looked at the martial arts students who were dispersing in formation and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was also a little impressed: the saint is still so energetic at this age.
"Kang Qing." Shao Shude greeted everyone to go up to Guancheng, overlooking the post roads, villages, and fields outside, and said: "The Youguo Army has been fighting for a long time, and will be withdrawn to rest before the New Year. Your troops are going south to take over, so we know where the focus is.
?”
"Li, Yaman is unworthy of trusting the emperor and must be punished now." Kang Yanxiao said: "In the end, we will assign four infantry commanders and four cavalry commanders, a total of ten thousand people, to search the mountains, suppress the strongholds, and annihilate the thieves."
"We can recruit Tu Tuan villagers in the middle of Sichuan." Shao Shude said: "I actually don't want to do the settling of accounts after the fall, but the Li and Yaman beasts are really hateful. This time they must know what the fury of thunder is. Capture them.
All thieves, regardless of age or sex, will be sent to Liaodong."
"I obey the order," Kang Yanxiao replied.
"When it comes to Yunnan, don't be reckless. Win over those who can be won over, and annihilate those who can't be won over." Shao Shude said again: "Immigration from the North, you will be accompanied by escort, don't be harmed by the barbarians."
"As commanded."
After the barbarians are wiped out, the land will naturally be vacated, and immigrants will need to fill it at this time. The national power of the Daxia court is limited, and it is impossible to spread immigration to all parts of the country at the same time, but it can still be done by focusing on one or two directions and rectifying it.
of.
Shao Shude raised his eyes and looked at the post road in the distance. The endless team of immigrants was heading towards Qizhou.
This time recruitment was conducted in Guanzhong, Guanbei, Henan and Hebei, and the first batch of more than 20,000 people were recruited.
Most of those from Kansai are the second, third, and fourth sons of various families, most of whom are singles. They are mainly sent to Dali and Kunzhou.
The Southern Barbarians lost more than 100,000 able-bodied men, most of whom were between 20 and 40 years old. Naturally, they needed to be replaced - the land needed to be replaced by young and able-bodied men, and the bodies of women also needed to be replaced.
Li Tangbin and Shao Mingyi were in Yunnan. One played a bad role and could be called the "widow maker", while the other played a red face and appeased the remaining people. They cooperated flawlessly. Although Shao Shude prides himself on being "benevolent", he also pretends to be innocent at this time.
He disappeared and just sent a man named Zhong Jushuang to deal with the funeral affairs, but the killing was actually completed and irreversible.
Most of the immigrants from Henan and Hebei have families, and they were semi-forced migrants. They were mainly resettled in Li and Yazhou, and some were resettled in the relatively gentle plain valleys of Yizhou - the former Nanzhao Huichuan Dudufu has been merged into Sizhou.
The prefectures are Xizhou on Jiannan Road and Yaozhou on Yunnan Road, with Lushui (Jinsha River) as the boundary.
Immigration has always been the most effective way to stabilize a newly acquired land. Apart from the high cost, there really are no disadvantages.
Large-scale official immigration could only be achieved in the early years of the imperial dynasty.
After a long period of peace, it is not that there will be no immigration, but at that time most of the people will be spontaneous immigrants, and the scale and frequency will be greatly reduced.
For example, the north was densely populated and the living standards of the people were declining. The imperial court encouraged them to move from "narrow land" to "wide land" - for three hundred years in the Tang Dynasty, due to the existence of the "Leqian" system, immigration never stopped, but basically
Most of them are spontaneous among the people, and the main destinations are Huainan and Jiangnan.
Shao Shude estimated that only the first three generations of the dynasty he established had the ability to organize large-scale official immigration. After that, every crab was inferior to every crab, and the cost was staggeringly high, so it would naturally be abolished.
"Go." Shao Shude encouraged the generals: "The Youguo army fought very well there, and there are countless people who have been rewarded for their meritorious service. Now that the large-scale war has ended, we can't sit back and relax. General Tu has gone, so he may not have killed anyone.
You are representing my face and the face of Daxia. Don’t be underestimated by the Nanman. Also, be optimistic about people like Zhu Yanshou."
"As ordered." Kang Yanxiao understood.
On the eighth day of October, Shengjia continued eastward and arrived in Chang'an on the 25th, ending his western tour.
Almost at the same time, the soldiers and horses from the expedition to Qibei also returned to Guanzhong, bringing with them a large number of prisoners and property.
Also accompanying him were dozens of Tatar and Uighur chiefs, who were traveling south to pay homage to the Supreme Khan.
In just a few months, Chang'an once again experienced a sensation.
