Chapter 250: Pocket Pocket Rare Light and Five Colors (2)
There was still a lot of commotion in the city of Kaifeng, and when I was drunk and dreaming, it started to snow in Lingbei.
A dozen large tallow candles were lit in a spacious large felt bag by the Halakhorin River, illuminating the interior extremely brightly.
Zhao Si, who was sitting at the top, asked: "Maoming, have all the snow disaster prevention precautions for each thousand households in Xuanwu Banner been collected?"
"Put it in." Zeng Baohua, who was still fat, replied from across the table. His round face looked even rounder in the light of the stove.
"Officials, this matter is a headache. Households A, 100, and 1,000 all earned their military merits through wars. There is absolutely no problem if you let them stab people with knives. But if you let them handle these political affairs, they are all dumbfounded.
Many households have made mistakes in preparing snow disaster prevention measures, let alone executing them."
"Don't be impatient!" Zhao Si advised, "The Lingbei strategy started in the fourth year of Tianqi and ended when the Xuanwu Banner was reorganized in the seventh year of Tianqi. From then on, we began to recruit talents and send them to
He Ningcheng trained them. It took two years to train more than a thousand people."
Having said this, Zhao Si couldn't help but shook his head.
It's too difficult.
In the Central Plains, after all, there is still a huge group of scholars and literati. As long as the banner of recruiting officials is raised, a large number of literati will apply.
You can easily screen, select the best, and receive rapid training.
Not so in the grasslands. The illiteracy rate here is almost 100%. A few singers, tribal leaders and chief stewards can read and write a little bit of Turkic and Khitan.
The people recruited from each thousand households in Xuanwu Banner first started with literacy.
Fortunately, the literacy work started from the Zhuque Banner ministries as early as the first year of Tianqi. Later, meritorious officers and non-commissioned officers were transferred from the Western Army, Huaide Camp and other ministries, and assigned to thousands of households in the Zhuque and Xuanwu Banners - officer exchanges.
The officers transferred from the Zhuque Banner, who had been illiterate for several years, and the officers transferred from the Western Army and the Huaide Battalion, with a certain cultural foundation, barely supported the organizational structure of the Xuanwu Banner, allowing the government orders to be passed down from top to bottom.
Zhao Si continued: "Maoming, you have to hurry up and take advantage of the heavy snow to urge the left and right officials of each thousand households to make history, and then let them supervise the left and right officials of each thousand households to record their affairs, and the left and right officials of each hundred households to make full use of their affairs.
effect."
The Zhuque Banner tried out the Jiahu, 100th, 1,000th, and 10,000th forms for three or four years, and found that this organizational form of military and political integration had both advantages and disadvantages.
If the two banners of Zhuque and Xuanwu live a traditional life in Qingtang and Mobei from now on, isolated from the Central Plains, this system will barely be enough. But Zhao Si’s plan is to use various means to use these four elephant banners together with the territory where they live.
The methods were integrated into the territory of the Song Dynasty.
In this case, the integrated military and political model of Jiahu, Baihu, Qianhu and Wanhu was no longer viable, and left-handed officials and staff had to be deployed. So starting from the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Suzaku Banner, where conditions were ripe, began to deploy around 100 households and 1,000 households.
Records are recorded for each household, and history is recorded for each household. It is thought that the staff officer corresponds to the three-level organizations of county, state and county.
As for Koto, his deputy, Sige, who is similar to a low-level officer or non-commissioned officer, holds a halberd as his left and right officials.
The left staff officer is responsible for people's livelihood and taxation, and the right staff officer is responsible for judging and educating, so they are also called political judges.
The political and judicial officers were nominally managed by the Propaganda Department of the East, West, South, and North Xuanhui Yuan. In fact, they could not pass the examination, and the power of recruitment and transfer rested solely with the "administrator" officials.
Now they are recruited from each banner and assigned to each banner, but the same hundred or thousand households need to be avoided. When the time is right in a few years, the political judges of the four banners will "exchange" with each other. In another ten or twenty years,
If the Four Banners were completely integrated into the Song Dynasty, they would become an organization like an "autonomous region", and then the official system would be completely integrated into the official system of the Song Dynasty.
After the trial in Zhuque Banner, the results were good, and the trial was started in Xuanwu Banner in the eighth year of Tianqi.
However, I have repeatedly emphasized that promotions and rewards for Zhenghu, Si Ge, Zhiji, Jiahu, Hundreds of Houses, Thousands of Houses, and Ten Thousands of Houses are entirely based on military merit. Those who leave will be the leader of a department, and those who enter will be the leader of a group. During war, there are
The right to command and the right to pay rent in peacetime.
They were responsible for making affairs, recording affairs and making history, under the orders of Emperor Tenggili, to assist them in managing the banner people - legally speaking, the banner people of the four banners, regardless of whether they are supporting households, deputy households, principal households, or first households, or hundreds of households
, Thousand Households and Ten Thousand Households all belong to His Majesty the Great Emperor.
Zhao Si continued: "Now that you, the director of the Lingbei Economic and Strategy Department and the envoy of the Northern Xuanhui Academy, your most important task is to prevent snow disasters, so that there will be fewer deaths in the Mobei grassland this winter. They have just entered the
He honored me as the Great Emperor of Tenggili, but this winter there are corpses everywhere. I still want to lose face!"
"I know, I know." Zeng Baohua replied with his head hanging down, "But in the past two years, the snow in Mobei has been really heavy."
He stayed in Lingbei for two or three years and had a deep understanding of it.
"Be content. I have talked with the older generation on the grassland." Zhao Si said, "I heard from them that a few decades ago, the snow was heavier, and a tribe would often disappear inexplicably in the winter. Only in the spring would they find out.
They were all buried alive in the heavy snow in winter. Things are much better now.”
"Guan Jian, do you think this weather is right? I have checked some records. Over the past hundred years, there has been heavy snowfall in Lingbei in winter, but drought in summer and autumn. It is similar to the Central Plains. Sometimes there are droughts and sometimes there are floods, which can kill people."
"There are a lot of them." Zhao Si stared at his uncle, a talented person, and he actually noticed the pattern of the Little Ice Age. The late Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and the early Song Dynasty were the third Little Ice Age.
Sudden changes in climate, frequent natural disasters, and man-made disasters led to the destruction of the Tang Dynasty and the chaos among the Five Dynasties. By the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the climate began to improve, but its little tail still caused the Song Dynasty to suffer a lot. Coupled with congenital defects,
The country was impoverished and the people were in embarrassment, and then my father, forced by the situation, began to reform.
Although there were constant disputes, it at least filled the treasury and was able to launch a counterattack against Xixia. However, the father and brother were short-lived, and historically the fate of the Song Dynasty was left to the eleventh brother.
"Gene Era"
Everyone who has read history books knows what this man did.
Fortunately, it was me.
In fact, the foundation of the Song Dynasty is still there. The entire country remains intact from top to bottom, and has sufficient resources and mobilization capabilities - otherwise, the Southern Song Dynasty would not have lasted that long, and would have even faced off against the Mongolian army, which was invincible in the world.
So many years.
It’s just that the Eleventh Brother in history and his eldest nephew, Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom, who was tricked to death by him, were so bright and charming for a while, chasing each other on the road to death, and finally got the advantage of the Jurchens in vain
.
Perhaps this tribe had a good name and good luck, but it was able to make two big bargains in history.
If you really had to travel back in time to Emperor Chongzhen, it would be a hellish level of difficulty.
Now the Little Ice Age is coming to an end, and the Chongzhen Period is climbing towards the peak of the Little Ice Age. Coupled with other reasons, the Ming Dynasty is much more fragile than the Song Dynasty.
Just calculate the year of Nanming and you will know.
After sighing with emotion, Zhao Si asked Zeng Baohua: "How many new felt-wrapped frames have been issued jointly by the Gewuyuan Construction Institute and the Machinery Institute?"
"Officials, since last year, Xuanwu Banner has issued a total of 57,600 weapons."
"It's still too little. You can test the actual effect."
"We have tested and found that the snow in Mobei last year was not light. Especially in the Yeliguna River and Hailer River area, the snow was waist deep. More than 600 felt bags collapsed under the heavy snow, and more than 3,000 people were killed or injured. Next
The 12,000 skeletons sent to the wood and rat wings have all withstood the test."
"That's good. But I'm still worried. I want to take advantage of the fact that the snow has not yet fallen heavily to take a look around. The situation at the grassroots level is sometimes very different from what is reported. You can go together."
Seeing Zeng Baohua's grimace instantly, Zhao Si smiled and said: "You are so fat, you can resist the cold!"
At this time, the guard outside the door called out: "I have seen the concubine!"
Then the thick door curtain was lifted, and Wuya whirled in wrapped in a cloud of cold air. This chapter has been completed!
