"Face is not important, so why did you pull the quilt over to cover yourself just now?"
"That...that's different. Literature Museum"
Latiya said, clenched her small fist and hit Liu Zhang on the chest, but she suddenly realized in her heart that Liu Zhang was the king of Shu, and the king behaved like a king. If he asked a woman to propose to him again and again, it would still be wrong.
King?
But he couldn't see that after Liu Zhang expressed it to him once, he actually refused and expected Liu Zhang to express it to him a second time. Even if Liu Zhang expressed it to him a second time too quickly, he would still hope for a third time.
Latiya suddenly felt that she was a little ignorant. She only thought about herself and did not consider her man. Speaking of it, she called Liu Zhang by his first name and got angry in front of Liu Zhang. He never cared about it. How could he still care about it?
What do you want?
Latia only felt that the inner suffering she had suffered for so long was all caused by herself.
"Husband."
Latia murmured something in her arms. This was the first time Latia called Liu Zhang like this, and her voice was barely audible.
"Yes, ma'am."
Liu Zhang also called back, and Latiya's face turned red with embarrassment, and she was so charming. She suddenly thought of something, raised her head and said to Liu Zhang: "By the way, husband, in fact, Sister Yinping also thinks like Latia,
I want to serve my husband, but Latiya has been willful in the past. My husband wants to marry me, but I don't know what is good or bad.
But my husband has not expressed anything to Sister Yinping. My daughter’s family is thin-skinned, so even if my husband is concerned about the king’s face, he would secretly hint that Sister Yinping will agree.”
Latia thought about Guan Yinping, who had been brazenly "committing crimes against the wind" in the afternoon. She originally felt aggrieved for poisoning herself, but now Latia felt that she had accidentally solved her biggest problem.
Latiya felt very satisfied. But this also involves the credit of the screen.
Now that she is happy, Guan Yinping has been busy all night and has gotten nothing. Latiya feels really uncomfortable.
"Yin screen?" Liu Zhang frowned.
"Yes." Latia nodded. After coming to Dahan for so long and suffering from inner torture for so long, Latia also knew that whether it was the Western Region or Dahan, it was common for men to have three wives and four concubines.
In addition, the women around her. Huang Yue, Xiao Furong and others are not jealous, especially Huang Yueying, who actually sent herself in, and made a good deal with Liu Zhang in her room. Of course, she can't be jealous, anyway, Liu Zhang is the king.
Sooner or later, these women will not be the only ones. Relatively speaking, Latia hopes to help Guan Yinping.
Liu Zhang didn't want to think about other issues at this time, and he didn't have any clue. He was holding the warm and fragrant soft jade in his arms. He was drunk at the beginning and had not yet tasted the specific taste.
Liu Zhang turned over and pressed on Latiya: "Think about other things later, and deal with our matters first."
"Ah." Latia shouted softly, and fell into haze again following Liu Zhang's offensive.
…
Huang Yueying announced the disarmament order to all military generals that night. He also sorted out the army information and kept the situation of each army in his mind.
The room in the palace was occupied last night. Huang Yueying did not return to the mansion assigned to her, so she wrote the schedule in the study room of the palace.
Listed the elite and ordinary arms among the generals. According to the level of eliteness, the recommended order of abolition was arranged.
Nowadays, the infantry of the Sichuan Army are basically very capable. However, starting from the Battle of Guanzhong, a large number of infantry from other armies were recruited, and the army gradually became uneven.
The miscellaneous soldiers in the Guanzhong War were reduced once, and most of them stayed in Guanzhong to work in agriculture. Now Hebei has been destroyed, and various places have surrendered.
The troops guarding the Yellow River, the troops at Huguan, and the garrison troops from Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Yangzhou totaled 300,000 people.
In addition, there were 80,000 peasant soldiers from Cao Zhang.
None of these will allow them to continue serving as soldiers and must be within the scope of reduction.
In addition, the remaining Sichuan army, Zhang Ren's 300,000 troops and 200,000 infantry, will have to lay off at least 100,000 people.
If Liu Zhang wants to continue to reduce the cavalry, except for Lei Tong's elite cavalry, Dawan cavalry, and heavy cavalry, there should be no reduction.
The Di cavalry and other ordinary cavalry can be reduced. Although the Xiliang cavalry is elite, Xiliang people have always mounted their horses as soldiers, so it doesn't matter if some of them are disbanded.
After making a rough plan, Huang Yueying fell asleep on her stomach in the study.
The morning breeze was cold, and Huang Yueying was not very comfortable even if she was practicing martial arts. It was still very early when she woke up, and she estimated that she had only slept for an hour. Huang Yueying went out with a plan, and saw Liu Zhang coming out of his room.
Liu Zhang didn't want to get up at first, but he was afraid that he would wake up late and be watched in broad daylight, which would make Latiya feel uncomfortable, so he reluctantly got up.
"Lord." Huang Yueying smiled and greeted him, with a hint of understanding smile on his face: "How were you last night? Didn't anything happen?"
When Liu Zhang saw Huang Yueying's appearance, and Huang Yueying's inexplicable disappearance last night, he must have done something to Huang Yueying, and gave Huang Yueying a dissatisfied look.
"Well? What's in your hand?" Liu Zhang noticed a stack of paper in Huang Yueying's hand.
"Don't you want to disarmament? I have listed it for my lord's reference. Yueying estimates that after unification, we will only have a few places where we need to garrison troops, Hetao, Yanmen, Shanggu, Liaodong, Goguryeo, Western Regions, Jiaozhou, and Jingshi. Yes.
Hundreds of thousands of troops will be abolished, but the placement of these troops is a problem."
Liu Zhang took the plan and nodded: "It's similar to what I mean. Only elite soldiers will be retained, and no other miscellaneous soldiers will be retained. As for the placement issue, I have already thought about it. This is why I am so anxious to disarmament. Yueying, you take
With this plan in mind, let’s first reveal it to the generals so that they can be mentally prepared.”
"good."
Huang Yueying was about to leave when Liu Zhang suddenly stopped her and said, "Yueying, have you been doing this last night?" Liu Zhang raised the schedule in his hand.
Huang Yueying did not reply. Liu Zhang walked up to Huang Yueying, gently hugged Huang Yueying and said: "Thank you, Yueying."
No matter why he and Latiya slept together last night, it was Huang Yueying who was thinking about herself. When he was in Wenrou Township, Huang Yueying was doing documents. Liu Zhang was suddenly moved and hugged Huang Yueying tightly.
"Okay, maids, get up and clean up quickly. I'm leaving first." Huang Yueying got out of Liu Zhang's arms and walked out.
…
"To conquer the world immediately, we cannot rule the world immediately. The Han Dynasty is about to be unified. The number of our officers and soldiers is too large. Although the people support our army, we cannot put too much burden on the people. Therefore, disarmament is imperative. Liu Zhang thanks you all for your support."
Cooperate."
The palace hall was filled with civil and military buildings and heavy armor. Standing on the jade steps, Liu Zhang made a prelude to the mobilization of disarmament and the placement of the army.
Many military generals certainly did not want disarmament, but with Liu Zhang's authority, as long as it was Liu Zhang's order and it was reasonable, no one would dare to raise objections.
After Huang Yueying broke the news, there was feedback quickly. No one opposed disarmament, including those designated for reduction.
This time, 400,000 infantry and 100,000 cavalry were reduced, of which 300,000 infantry were prisoners and 100,000 infantry were ordinary infantry with relatively low combat effectiveness.
The Sichuan Army left behind the Tengjia Army, elite Sichuan Army infantry, crossbowmen, longbowmen, white pole soldiers and other infantry special units, Dawan Cavalry, Archer Cavalry, 50,000 elite Xiliang Cavalry, Thunder Copper Elite Cavalry, and Tian Yu
Expanded Yuyang Assault Cavalry, as well as some other special cavalry units.
In addition, although the Wuxi Barbarian Army, the Dianzhou Barbarian Army, and the Western Qiang Cavalry are not included in the disarmament, they are all released from the conscripting status, which is not much different from the disarmament.
The scale of the disarmament of half a million people is equivalent to half of the northern army. With so many people, the resettlement is a big problem.
"However, although there is no need for a large army in peacetime, we must always remember that these soldiers sacrificed their lives and blood for the unification of the Han Dynasty. Without these soldiers, there would be no prototype of the unification of the Han Dynasty today.
The king decided to reward these retired soldiers generously, not only to comfort these soldiers for their contribution to the Han Dynasty, but also to warn future generations to be prepared for danger in times of peace. An empire cannot lack a strong army at any time. Soldiers, especially brave soldiers, no matter what
Whether in time of war or in time of peace, everyone should be treated with the utmost respect.
This time the army was disbanded. Except for the troops that surrendered after our army captured Yecheng, including Cao Zhang's rebel army, they enjoyed the original treatment of retired soldiers.
Each retired soldier can receive the prescribed resettlement allowance, land and house, and those with outstanding meritorious service and the disabled will receive additional bonuses according to their circumstances.
In addition, I have decreed that all retired soldiers who are willing to settle down in Youzhou will enjoy additional money and acres of land and be granted a title, but this title will be reduced on a sliding scale."
"What do you mean by decreasing titles?" Many generals in the Sichuan army were careless and confused after hearing Liu Zhang's words. One general asked immediately, and other generals also echoed.
Huang Yueying looked at Liu Zhang on the jade steps. He knew what Liu Zhang meant. He had discussed it with her in the past few days. It was a bit strange, but it seemed to be a good title setting.
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "In other words, as long as the soldiers are willing to move to Youzhou, they can receive extra money and acres based on merit, disability, and previous military rank based on the original regulations.
In addition, all ordinary soldiers can be granted the title of baron, and those with outstanding meritorious service can be granted the title of viscount. Those who have already been knighted can be granted the title of nobility once, no matter what the title is. The baron is added to the viscount, the viscount is added to the count, the earl is added to the marquis of Ting, and the marquis of Ting is added.
Add the Marquis of Xiang, and so on."
"ah."
The civil and military officials were in an uproar immediately. They didn't care about the one behind Liu Zhang and so on, because at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, many titles were no longer in use. Historically, it was Cao Wei who added barons to marquises in order to network more people.
Now in the Sichuan Army, there are no earls or earls, only marquises. Because Liu Zhang was stingy in granting titles, there are very few marquises. Only some of the senior civil and military officials of the Sichuan Army have them.
