The winter hunt lasted for five days. Liu Xiang left in a hurry and returned in a hurry.
The story of Ma Chao hunting the white tiger spread like wildfire, and his reputation soared, so he had to re-employ him. He couldn't give the position of Yulinlang to a vacant position, otherwise, he would be called a hero without knowing it, and he would lose money.
Hidden dangers in people's hearts.
He was transferred to the Zuojian and appointed as the actual commander of the armored cavalry, in charge of hundreds of cavalry. In order to suppress Ma Chao, Sun Ce, who was engaged in casual cavalry, was appointed as the Sima of Yulin Zuojian Army, in charge of Qianqi, and Wenji was also placed under him.
under his command.
As for whether these three young men can be recognized by that group of arrogant and powerful generals, let's wait and see after practicing. The 800 recruits in armored riding equipment are also training to death, and there are only three more than them.
The Twelfth Regiment of the Forbidden Army was soon reorganized and divided into two armies: the Southern Army and the Northern Army. The three armies and three guards of the Southern Army were supplemented by 2,800 soldiers, totaling 36,000 men. The Sixth Battalion of the Northern Army was supplemented by 5,500 men.
There are a total of 18,000 people, excluding the 10,000 Jinyi guards who monitor the world, and the 2,000 Niu guards who serve as reserve officers.
The 42,000 soldiers of the Forbidden Army are the center of Liu Xiang's suppression and the basic combat strength to check and balance the foreign army. The expenses of these soldiers are all supported by the inner treasury of the Shaofu, and they belong to his private army.
In addition to the Forbidden Army, there are four armies at the front, right, and left, as well as 5,000 Liao camp cavalry guarding northern Xinjiang, and 10,000 mountain infantry from the Wudang flying army stationed in Yizhou, totaling 55,000 regular soldiers. Equipment is also drawn from the inner treasury.
, military pay, can also be counted as his private army.
This 100,000-strong army is a professional soldier. The regular soldiers are paid twenty-four stone every year. The military officers are paid an additional salary on the basis of the military salary. The captain is twelve stone, and the captain is twenty-four stone. There is a rank starting from the team leader.
, from the ninth grade down, forty stones.
This is the difference between military officials and local officials. Those in service receive basic military pay.
Under the 100,000 regular soldiers, there are nearly 150,000 beacon soldiers on the Great Wall defense line and garrison corps from various states. They are selected from militia groups and serve on a rotating basis. They are responsible for local security and assist the main force in combat. Military pay is halved, and all expenses are borne by the imperial court.
Supplied in Taicang.
The border guards of the Liaodong and Western Region Chang Shifu totaled 23,000 people, and received the same treatment as the local garrison.
In addition, there are soldiers stationed in Liaodong, Hedong, Henan, and the Western Regions, totaling 400,000 people. These people do not have fixed military pay. The harvest from the farms is turned over to the military granary, and one-tenth of it is used to support their families.
The most special one is the Jinchuan Guard, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor. There are 16,500 military households with a total of 98,000 people. They belong to the field soldiers, but each household must have one main member to serve and one backup member to replace them. They do not pay taxes.
, all the income from planting and grazing is used to support the family, the cost of equipment is drawn from the internal treasury, and bonuses for maintaining trade routes are distributed.
The treatment is extremely generous.
No one will go without preferential treatment!
The four counties in the Hexi Corridor are short of water and have few people. They rely on the rivers formed by the melting snow of the northern foot of the Qilian Mountains to farm and herd. With the technology of the Han Dynasty, not many fields can be cultivated, and they can only raise livestock.
The main means of livelihood, the natural conditions are already difficult, and the human environment is even worse.
On the plateau to the south are countless Qiang tribes, which cannot be conquered in a short period of time; in the desert to the north there are horse thieves who are constantly killing them, mainly the Huns and small Xianbei tribes.
Going there is like licking blood with the blade of a knife!
However, the trade routes in the Western Regions must be maintained by someone, and a large army will be stationed there, which will drag down the imperial government's finances and is not a long-term solution.
Therefore, Liu Xiang focused on Han families with more children in Youzhou and Bingzhou.
The Han and Hu peoples in these two states are mixed, and the folk customs are fierce. If you go to Hexi, you won't suffer much loss. It's not sure who will rob whom.
Bingzhou is not sure, but in his memory, the people of Youzhou have a tradition of going out to the fortress to rob barbarians.
In a place where Han and Hu people live together, it is normal for you to rob me and I to rob you. In other words, control has been strengthened in recent years, and the people have divided their land and their lives have become better. The Hu people have also experienced large-scale sinicization. This situation has only
be contained.
The most important thing is that the people there divided their fields relatively early. There was a wave of baby boomers a few years ago. Now that the children are growing up, the policy of dividing their fields has passed. The next generation can only inherit the property of their parents, which is not very important.
Enough points, if you want to live a good life, you have to find another way out.
Those with a flexible mind can naturally go to workshops and caravans to earn a living.
But not everyone is smart, and the land will become less and less divided.
Parents love their children and have far-reaching plans.
Liu Xiang is targeting these parents who want to find a way out for their children and grandchildren and are willing to take risks.
It was ordered that families with more than six members and two adult members could sign up to be military households in Jinchuanwei. Each household would be assigned fields and pastures. Houses would be provided by the government, and breeding cattle, sheep, and horses would be provided with interest-free loans from the government.
The conditions are even better than going to Liaodong.
He expects many people to sign up.
As he expected, there was a very enthusiastic response. More than 200,000 households signed up, and it took more than half a year to select.
The fortress in front had just been built, and the military households in the back were stationed directly. The Western Expeditionary Army had previously swept through the four counties of Hexi. Now there are 3,000 light cavalry formed in advance to maintain it, and there are 110,000 young men everywhere.
The construction site is busy, and the Hexi Corridor, which is 1,800 miles under the jurisdiction of Jinchuan Guard Station, is relatively safe.
When all fifty hundred-household offices and eight thousand-household offices are completed, the main road is connected, and nearly 100,000 military households take root here, the Hexi Corridor will be completely in the hands of the Han people.
With the captains of the two divisions in the east and west, and the garrison troops at Yumen Pass, Yangguan Pass and Jiayuguan Pass, plus fifty-eight garrison points, Liu Xiang didn't think there was any other foreign race that could take the Hexi Corridor away from the hands of the Han people.
The main soldiers, the garrison, the field troops, and the various armies were sorted out and prepared. They were eliminated when they should be eliminated and supplemented when they were needed. Large-scale operations could not be carried out, but small-scale mobilizations never stopped. The strategic focus was gradually withdrawn from the Western Region. All
Everyone's eyes turned to Jiangnan.
The white tiger appears in this world and is in charge of war.
The war is inevitable!
The soldiers of the Anping Army were very hungry and thirsty.
The petition for war was constantly placed on Liu Xiang's memorial.
Unfortunately, the food was used for other purposes, so the invitation to fight could only be postponed. During this time, he was paying attention to the military census.
More than 700,000 military personnel were re-registered, which exhausted Huangfu Song, the Minister of War.
In fact, the six ministers are quite tired. They are the executive department of political affairs and are very busy.
Other central officials are also busy. The reform of the official system is not just about changing the official name. The division of powers and duties, the transfer of files, and sorting out old abuses must be done carefully and comprehensively, and the rights that should be obtained must be obtained.
, the blame must be pushed out, and no one dares to be careless.
Officials are fighting for power, the army is training, time is passing, the queen's belly is getting bigger day by day, and the emperor's beard is getting longer day by day.
On the first day of the lunar month, people celebrated the new year, on the 15th day of the lunar month, they worshiped the gods, in the early spring they encouraged farmers, and in the spring they hunted in the fields. The imperial court became more and more orderly, and the ten northern states became more and more powerful.
South of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, there is growing fear.
The situation in the world is gradually becoming clearer.
"We can't win but are unwilling to surrender. We form alliances openly and fight privately. Each has his own agenda. Jiangnan is in danger." Twenty-one-year-old Zhou Yu thought he had seen through the general trend of the world and was unhappy.
His friend Lu Su, who was drinking with him, heard this and tried to persuade him: "Why should Gong Jin be short of breath? There are many scholars migrating south, and there are a lot of talents. There are always good strategies to defend against the enemy."
The policy in the north was unfavorable to the wealthy families. Lu Su's family, like many powerful families, chose to take refuge south and settled in Lujiang. They were both conquered by Liu Xiang and refused to go north. Therefore, the two became friends and both became friends.
They are talented, cherish each other, and have become good friends who talk about everything.
"Zijing and I are both outstanding people, but we are suspected and excluded. Can those people really not see such a simple alienation plan? No, it is just a fight for fame and fortune. It is sad, deplorable, and extremely ridiculous!"
Zhou Yu has been feeling a little regretful recently.
