Guanzhong, Changle Slope.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather was getting cooler, and Li Ji hung a sword around his waist and a dark blue red trimmed cardigan, and other military officials who were also dressed came to wait under the pergola outside the government affairs hall.

There are rows of long chairs here, and Li Ji, like the other military officers, has the mind to meditate?

Almost all of them were selected by Lu Yi from Lingnan and sent back to Guanzhong in batches to wait for the problem military officials to be dealt with.

As a result, today they only have a ceremonial uniform, and they do not wear military ranks or medals.

Tian Xin personally handled this group of military officials, and it took about three to five minutes to read the resumes and files of the other party, ten minutes to talk, and an average of fifteen minutes to deal with one person.

It wasn't until noon that it was Lee's turn, and he was hungry and he sat on a bench of salt, feeling like a fish leaping onto the deck with wide-eyed eyes.

Either the kind sailors were thrown overboard, or they were exposed to the sun and died, or they were fed to the seabirds.

Soon, Li Ji entered the hall with his own file, Tian Xin had no expression on his face in the hall, and when he saw Tian Xin, Li Ji lost the expected panic and worry.

He was calm in his heart, quietly waiting for the verdict of fate.

Tian Xin opened Li Ji's file, the first three pages were all his familiar resumes, and he turned to the last four pages at a glance.

Li Ji's biggest crime was to rob and kill his subordinate Zhou Wei on the street, followed by the excessive killing of the army when he led the army to clean up the chaos and barbarians.

In any battle in which Li Ji participated, there would only be women and children among the prisoners, and there would be no other population.

The testimony of the captured women and children, as well as the relevant conversations of other middle- and lower-ranking military officials, can prove that Li Ji deliberately expanded the scope of killing and refused to surrender.

Obviously, in the various battles with the Lingnan barbarians, the hatred between the two sides has become deeper and deeper, and various means of retaliation have become more and more intense.

Both the Tuman and Hunan armies have a tradition of headhunting...... The difference is that the local barbarians like to prefer blood sacrifices, while the Hunan army is in the same vein as the Han army to build the Jingguan.

In the past two years, the conflict has become increasingly fierce, and the barbarians have a habit of hunting and eating the Hunan army and military officials because of their ignorant customs, and it seems that in this way they can obtain the wisdom and courage of the military officials.

And the Hunan army also has the habit of collecting trophies, such as Li Ji in front of him, who has the habit of collecting finger bones.

Not to mention war, the torture of hunger is enough to make people crazy.

Tian Xin put down the file and went to see Li Ji, who suddenly straightened his back, after all, he was an old face he was familiar with, and said: "According to the original plan, the people sent back by Lu Boyan will be transferred to Liangzhou to enrich the counties and townships." If you can be a big county lieutenant, you will have a career in the future, but it will be a little bumpy. ”

Li Ji nodded slightly and coughed lightly: "This is better than the minister expected." ”

"I am the one who asked you to go to Lingnan, the war in Lingnan is already devastating human nature, and it is no wonder that the officers in the army are thirsty for killing. As for Zhou Wei, I wanted to kill him, but everyone persuaded me, saying that killing this person with dirty hands would free him from it. It is better to live in Lingnan and imprison his clan and make him regret it for life. ”

Tian Xin's expression was as usual, and he didn't seem to be surprised.

The Lingnan barbarians are not something that can be solved in one generation, and in order to truly solve the barbarian and the contradictions between the Turks and the Han in the future, we must take a multi-pronged approach to eradicate them.

Eradication is literal eradication.

At present, the Hunan army, the Jiaoguang army, and the Han army have compressed the stubborn and resistant barbarians into the deep mountains and old forests, and want to eradicate them...... That is, more efficient weapons are needed, and more cannon fodder is needed.

The situation in Lingnan tends to be stable, and the Hunan army, the Jiaoguang army, and the Han army lack the consciousness to fight in the deep mountains and old forests...... As long as you are an individual, you don't want to fight this kind of battle with high risk, little gain, and lack of practical significance.

Only by finding another kind of cheap soldier can they inspire their courage to go hunting in the deep mountains and old forests, compress the living space of the remaining barbarians, and then destroy their will to resist and take the initiative to go out of the mountains to surrender.

Now the lives of the Han soldiers are expensive, and the Han army is half of the Han army, and their lives are also expensive, and they are not willing to go to the deep mountains and old forests to fight.

But the lives of Nanyang Zhuyi are not expensive, and they are cheaper than the barbarians.

Wait to capture enough Nanyang barbarians, select soldiers from them, and conduct training...... In order to obtain the rank of advancement, or for something else, the Nanyang barbarians would go hunting in the depths of the mountains and forests.

This is a solution, and the other way is to give the Jiangdong generals greater authority to act...... Allow them to legally capture slaves and recruit troops, clean up the barbarians, and Jiangdong will be professional.

Thoroughly digest Lingnan and find a stable way so that most of the Lingnan natives can gradually sinicize and eliminate regional and cultural barriers...... That's the big deal.

Tens of thousands, millions of human lives are insignificant in the face of this event.

If it is not resolved, the vendetta of the natives and outsiders living in Lingnan will accumulate from generation to generation, so the lives of death cannot be measured and calculated.

Instead of the two forces strangled for thousands of years, it is better to completely resolve the dispute in a few generations and give future generations a peace.

If Lingnan can be quickly integrated, and there is this successful example, then it will be able to digest Nanyang. Even if it can't digest the South Seas, it can also bind most places.

After the rule of the fetters is achieved, they will be able to gradually improve their advanced culture and economy, and then complete assimilation in an all-round way.

With Nanyang, there is the world.

The things that Li Ji committed were not a matter at all in Tian Xin's eyes; A military official who committed the same thing as Li Ji is also not a problem.

Lu Yi sent these people back...... There are deeper considerations.

Before Lu Yi went to Lingnan, Lingnan lacked a person who coordinated the overall situation, so the combination of grace and power was just a slogan, and in reality there was only unilateral conquest and violence.

Only extreme disposition can make Lingnan have a common idea; Otherwise, if we really engage in the combination of grace and power, ideological confrontation, chaos, and conflicts will occur, which will affect cooperation at all levels and reduce administrative and military efficiency.

When Lu Yi goes, there is a core figure in Lingnan, who can naturally balance the size of Enwei and use ingenious means to rule and integrate Lingnan's resources.

Therefore, Li Ji's group of people lost their usefulness, and in order to avoid future conflicts, they had to be packed and sent.

With such a sharp knife, it is better to hand it over to Guanzhong for moderation.

Tian Xin is not afraid that these sharp knives will backfire or accidentally injure his hands, so there is no need to destroy, idle, or refrigerate.

Originally, I wanted to settle in Liangzhou and work hard for two or three years, and those who can adapt to this change will inevitably become the future generals.

In order to lay the foundation for the future recovery of the Western Regions and the march to the west of the Green Ridge...... But now, the decisive battle in the future will be in Xiangfan, and the team of military officials under Tian Ji must be supplemented and strengthened.

Tian Ji has an obvious advantage, that is, he has endured a lot of hardships, and he has fought a tailwind battle for seven years since Rong, and has seen too many examples of enemies and friendly troops dying alive, so Tian Ji is cautious in using troops.

Tian Yun, the minister of the South China Sea, is also self-aware, and these two people also have nicknames, known as the gatekeeper black dog and the white dog.

Therefore, if Tian Ji himself can defend Nanyang, he must enhance his attack ability.

So Li Ji also caught up with the changes of the times, and crossed the crucial level from the original Colonel Beifu to the commander of the First Brigade of the Left Guards.

At the same time, a new round of military reform in Beifu is also being carried out at the same time, mainly reflected in the change of the number.

The rate of this level number was changed to 'regiment', and the regiment has the meaning of gathering.

The basic strategic unit of the government is still a battalion, and the regiment is a temporary combat cluster.

At the same time, the battalion commander was changed to the battalion commander, and the battalion commander and above were the regiment commanders who changed flexibly, and then the brigade was the brigade, and the brigade was the army.

In the restructuring of the military system, the appearance of this brigade character is a strong signal that it can only move forward and cannot retreat.

In the next round of restructuring, the word 'division' will appear.

At that time, the dust will surely settle.
