Chapter 240: Referee
Due to the large number of prisoners, and the fact that Li Zhongyi's descendants were too few to be followed, after weighing the pros and cons, the result of the compromise was that the official positions below the centurion were all held by warriors selected from among the slave soldiers, and the commanders were all Han soldiers.
In order to maximize the control of this cavalry force, Li Zhongyi added the position of pacification at the level of centurion, which was held by the Han army, and the scope of authority was similar to that of the political commissar of later generations.
Li Zhongyi always remembered the tremendous role played by the reorganization of Sanwan and the establishment of the branch on the company to the combat effectiveness of the Red Army.
The hearts of non-our race must be different, especially with so many wild and untamed party members, Li Zhongyi must take into account the threat of backlash, so he has strengthened his control over the grassroots.
Among the nearly 20,000 captives, in addition to the old, weak, sick and disabled, women and children, as well as the herdsmen of the kotou tribe who were reduced to slavery, minus the nearly 2,000 party nobles who were hacked to death by the slaves, the elite slaves who could finally be incorporated into the Shuofang cavalry unit were just over 3ooo names.
Because the party members had almost no sense of discipline, Li Zhongyi did not rush to take these subdued party cavalry back to the city, but chose a nearby valley, set up a large camp there, and reorganized on the spot.
After sorting out, Li Zhongyi's party members at hand showed an obvious pyramidal hierarchy.
The top-level party members are the thirty centurions and the three hundred centurions that Li Zhongyi single-handedly raised. The second was more than 2,000 former Han Chinese slaves, who were the focus of Li Zhongyi's real reliance and the main force of the cavalry force.
Next are the herdsmen of many small and medium-sized tribes, and then the herdsmen of the Niutou tribe and the Yehe tribe, and at the bottom of the oppression are the captives of the former kotou tribe.
For the small tribe of the party members who did not have much property, Li Zhongyi was in charge and gave them a large piece of fat pasture taken from the doghead tribe. It's a great event.
Mao Taizu fought the local tyrants to divide the fields, while Li observed that the big households were divided into grasslands, and the things they divided were different, but the nature was basically similar.
Among the 3,000 cavalry troops, there were more than 2,000 former Han Chinese slaves. and more than a thousand former slaves of the party. It's basically a 6:4 situation.
It's just that since the commanders are all generals of the Han army, the centurion has the Han army to pacify the cunzài by his side. The Han army had an overwhelming advantage in the entire cavalry force.
Guo Huai was a little puzzled by Li Zhongyi's arrangement at first, and he asked Li Zhongyi in private: "Since there are more than 2,000 Han slaves, is it still necessary to settle the ten-division and centurion of the party members?" ”
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly. Turning his head to look at Zuo Ziguang, he said with a smile: "Jiang Ming, you can explain." ”
Zuo Ziguang put down the brush in his hand, rubbed his sour right wrist, and explained with a smile: "In the whole Lingzhou, there are many more party members than us Han people. If. There is no sweetness left for the party members, and it will only force them all to the opposite side of us. ”
"In addition, the party members have horses and are very mobile. Harass here today, and go there to rob tomorrow. It will be difficult for us to stabilize the situation in Lingzhou in the short term. Zuo Ziguang glanced at the turned-over party members who were undergoing disciplinary training outside the battle, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face, "The ten-captains and centurions we promoted used to be slaves who were more humble than dust, but now they have been promoted by the handsome and have gained a lot of money. If, these people are divided again in the future, the princesses and noblewomen of all races who have never dreamed of before, hehe, tell me about it, will they follow us with all their hearts? ”
Li Zhongyi saw Guo Huai nodding frequently, so he smiled and said: "Power, money and beauty have been given, coupled with strict control, we dare not say that we can sit back and relax, at least in the short term, these party upstarts will not have the heart of rebellion." ”
Guo Huaimeng slapped his thigh and exclaimed: "Alas, if you don't explain, I, a big old man, really didn't expect that there would be so many Taos in it." ”
Zuo Ziguang then added: "Of course, there are also hidden worries. Ambition is never there at the beginning, it must continue to thrive with the growth of strength. Some people who are members of the party, after being a centurion for a long time, cannot be promoted, and they will inevitably have resentment. At this time, we have to find a reason, find an opportunity, and deal with it decisively. The best way to do this is to let them fight in the nest, rather than pointing the finger at us. ”
"To borrow the words of the marshal, divide and conquer, leave hope, and let them accept their fate!" Zuo Ziguang smiled very thiefly, and his eyes lit up.
Li Zhongyi looked at Guo Huai with a smile and said: "Ruling a foreign race, five points of military, five points of politics, grasp with both hands, both hands must be hard, and there can be no deviation." ”
Guo Huai knew that Li Zhongyi was reminding him that he could not openly discriminate against these obedient party members, and even if there were restrictions on their power, he must use wisdom and borrow the power to formulate the rules of the game, rather than simple and crude brute force.
"That benevolent and noble Chinese speaker is very fluent, and you will send someone to keep an eye on him when you turn around, and let him teach the party members in the cavalry unit to learn Chinese." Li Zhongyi said earnestly, "It is very important that the book has the same text and the same sound." ”
"Whoa." Guo Huai used to be the deputy head of the scout of the Shu army, and he was good at riding a horse to reconnoitre, so Li Zhongyi arranged for him to be the commander of the cavalry unit, and he must firmly grasp this new strategic shock force in his hands.
Although Li Zhongyi learned to ride a horse, he was still a layman when it came to cavalry combat.
Therefore, for the time being, the various regulations of the cavalry troops can only be slowly explored by Guo Huai.
In the valley, after half a month of regrouping, the establishment of the 3,000 cavalry troops was basically fixed, and the centurions and ten-captains at least knew their subordinates.
Guo Huai was busy reorganizing the army, and Li Zhongyi was not idle every day, and his main job was to adjudicate the division of pastures between various tribes.
The issue of long-term interests is actually the most troublesome issue for any nation.
Li Zhongyi is also blind to the grassland situation in Lingzhou, and it is almost a blank.
However, Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that he couldn't let the big clan continue to occupy the most and best grassland, otherwise, after a long time, there would definitely be problems.
An Lushan did not have a rebellious heart from the first day, and the growth of strength is the best catalyst to fuel ambition.
Therefore, when allocating the pasture, Li Zhongyi gave priority to the rights and interests of the party soldiers who participated in the cavalry unit, at least so that they would have no worries about the future and live a rich and decent life.
This is the Lingzhou version of the first military administration!
The promulgation of any policy must not be a sword, but must be adjusted according to the actual situation.
In Li Zhongyi's view, it is human nature that the family members of the former party nobles who were suppressed by the slaves are disgruntled.
The question is, how to unite the majority of party members and isolate or oppress the families of these former nobles who have been turned from nobles to slaves overnight?
During the half month of the whole army, countless people came to see Li Zhongyi every day, which made him very annoyed.
When he got up in the morning, Li Zhongyi's mind flashed with inspiration, and it was better to give the decision to allocate the grassland to the upstarts of those tribes to discuss it collectively.
Therefore, Li Zhongyi decisively ordered that two representatives from each tribe should collectively discuss the ownership of the pasture under his personal chairmanship.
After everyone was called together, Li Zhongyi just made a simple opening remark, stopped talking, and looked at the spokespersons of various tribes with a smile, and blushed.
Ren Duogui, who was acting as a translator on the side, rolled his eyes, and suddenly asked Li Zhongyi in a low voice: "Observation, the noise is so messy, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get a result?" ”
Li Zhongyi glanced at Ren Duogui, who had a ghost in his heart, and asked him with a smile: "How do you know that the quarrel can't get results?" ”
Ren Duogui couldn't see Li Zhongyi's thoughts, so he had to accompany him and say: "Dozens of people are arguing around, and the villains rarely see the result of the quarrel before, and they will only deepen the hatred between each other." ”
Li Zhongyi looked at Ren Duogui coldly, and he thought to himself, among the party members, there are really people who understand!
In view of Ren Duogui's appearance, Li Zhongyi also made up his mind, if he couldn't tame this guy, he would find a chance to let him steam in the world.
Ren Duogui saw that Li Zhongyi only smiled and didn't say anything, and he couldn't help but feel a little furious in his heart, he secretly complained to himself, he shouldn't have said much.
Li Zhongyi stayed out of the matter and let the elders of various tribes quarrel, which was tantamount to picking him out completely.
The principle of allocating grassland, Li Zhongyi has one, as long as you quarrel and have no opinion, he has no opinion.
After such a back and forth, due to Li Zhongyi's withdrawal from the front line, the representatives of various tribes have no channels to engage in black-box operations, and everyone can finally sit down calmly and discuss the ownership of their respective spheres of influence.
Some tribes themselves are very small, and their ambitions cannot be too big, so they get a little cheap and take it when they see it.
Originally, the big tribe didn't need to pay attention to the interests of the small tribe, and just by relying on the strength of the soldiers, they could get what they wanted.
It's just that thirty years in Hedong and forty years in Hexi, now Li Zhongyi, the Han people, has the final say, and the biggest magic weapon used by the big tribe to intimidate the small tribe has been completely abolished.
Since you can't fight, you can only talk slowly. Fish have a fish road, shrimp has a shrimp road, and the small tribe has Li Zhongyi silently supporting him behind, and he is not afraid of the intimidation of the big tribe.
Li Zhongyi sat firmly in Diaoyutai, as long as a compromise was reached between the tribes, he would happily seal and confirm it, unambiguously.
After the problem of allocating grassland was solved one after another, Li Zhongyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, before the balance of the next field was broken, the party people near Lingzhou were settled.
Li Zhongyi could not hope that after only one consultation, the problem of the distribution of interests among the various tribes could be solved forever.
Truth is always within the range of the cannon!
When the Tang Dynasty is strong, it can destroy Tuguhun and establish the Anxi Protectorate! When Datang declined, even Chang'an was lost, and strength was the fundamental force that made the rules of the game! (To be continued.) (。 ))
