Chapter 174: Khitan Yi Hunting Han Farming
As the main hall for various ceremonies, the Yuanhe Hall has long been renovated. The couch placed in the center of the top is also decorated with golden light, as a throne for Zhou Nan and Yu Liyan to sit side by side. In front of the couch is a large bookcase. In front of the bookcase, there are three-foot steps, and under the steps, there is the scope of the ministers' worship and performance. At this time, seats were also arranged on both sides of the main hall, just waiting for the audience to be completed, so that the ministers could sit down and rest. This is also what Zhou Nan meant, the ministers go to court, they don't have to stand, just sit down.
The next thing is exactly like what Yu Liyan said, you only need to be a puppet. All the ceremonies were carried out under the auspices of Yu Zhongwen and Li Shi, and the country name was Xinliao, and Zhou Nan had no opinion. First, it can be said to be different from the old Liao, and secondly, it can also attract the talents and people of the old Liao, and there is a basis for recovering the lost land in the future - the homeland of the old Liao, of course, will be recovered by the new Liao.
Zhou Nan and Yu Liyan were canonized respectively, Zhou Nan was the king of the new Liao, and Yu Liyan was the queen of the new Liao. Yu Zhongwen and others proposed in the court that after the country was prosperous and peaceful, they would be transformed from the king and queen of the new Liao to the emperor and empress of the new Liao country. In this regard, Zhou Nan had to vaguely say that he would discuss it later-he couldn't just call himself the emperor in such a large area, right?
Zhou Nan didn't want to be the emperor now, and the most important reason was the country name. The country name "Xinliao" is now very suitable. But it may not be suitable in the future. However, the country name can be changed, and changing the country name in Da Liao before was as casual as eating. After Li Shi's introduction, Zhou Nan learned that the Great Liao used to be called the "Central State", but the full name was the "Great Central Liao State" or the "Great Central Khitan State". If you recapture Sijing from the hands of the Jin people in the future and have a vast territory, you can naturally use the name of this "Great Central State".
After the canonization ceremony, the whole country celebrates the 10th day to pardon those who have committed lesser crimes; Within 10 days, all customs duties and commercial taxes will be exempted. The governors and counties of various prefectures and counties also rushed to Yanjing to pay homage to Zhou Nan and Yu Liyan on the first day of March.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Nan and Yu Liyan also adjusted the army and the official system.
In the New Liao State, the army was divided into a standing army, a border army, and a garrison army according to its role. The standing army is often fighting, there is no garrison location, and there is no need to participate in cultivation in leisure time, and it can run long distances, which is also the most elite soldiers and horses in the new Liao State.
The border army is like Jia Laoliu stationed in Guiyi City and Shiyue stationed in Shanhaiguan, stationed at the border fortress, these soldiers and horses are also the elite of the new Liao State, but in addition to being on duty and training on weekdays, they need to cultivate land near their own station, so as to be self-sufficient in grain and grass. Anyway, there are many barren hills and mountains in the border blockage, and the soldiers can not only train their physical fitness, but also solve the problem of grain and grass, so they do not have to transfer them from other places, killing two birds with one stone.
The garrison army is the soldiers and horses stationed in various states and counties, similar to the previous township soldiers, which are regarded as the reserve of the standing army and the border army. Ordinary people who want to join the army can only be stationed in the Tun army first, and then they have the opportunity to be selected into the Wansheng Army or the Black Iron Army. Since the combat pressure is small, the daily life is to maintain internal law and order, so it is more about training and farming.
After adjustment, Xiao Lao Liu was still the commander of the Mabu army, and only commanded his own 3,000 cavalry as an emergency. Xiao Laoliu, as the commander of the Mabu army of Xinliao, was mainly responsible for the transfer of all armies and the allocation and distribution of grain, grass and equipment.
The two deputy commanders of Ma Bujun's command envoys are still Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi, who are mainly responsible for leading the army to the battle, or leading the army to reinforce the border Cypriot armies everywhere, or dealing with the sudden rebellion in the country.
There are five standing armies, all of which are cavalry armies, namely the 8,000-strong Wansheng Left Army and the Wansheng Right Army led by Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi, and the 5,000-strong Great Eagle Army led by Agu Zhe composed of Wansheng Army and Xi Army, as the pro-guard army of Southern Zhou, which is equivalent to the Great Tent Leather Army of the Khitan Emperor; The Eagle Army, composed of 5,000 Black Iron Army led by Wang Sanmad, as Yu Liyan's personal guard, was equivalent to the Khitan Empress's subordinate Shan army. There is also a 3,000 iron cavalry of Xiao Laoliu, which is also the army guarding Yanjing City.
These five standing armies are actually the personal soldiers and horses of Zhou Nan and Yu Liyan, with a total of 29,000 people. In addition to weapons and armor, these five standing armies will be equipped with three to six flying cars and rockets, and as the most elite army, Zhou Nan will of course be equipped with the best weapons.
There are now seven Frontier Army, namely Zhang Yuan's Right Iron Harrier Army stationed at Juyong Pass, Zhao Laosan's Left Iron Harrier Army stationed at Gubeikou, Gao Shouzhong's Tiger Army stationed in Lulongdao, Shiyue's Xiong Army stationed in Shanhaiguan, Taogu's Dragon Army stationed in Lutai Town, Jia Laoliu's Feng Army stationed in Guiyi and Xincheng, and Wang Shunzhou's Flying Dragon Army stationed in Le'an Pavilion.
Among them, except for the Lutai Town in Taogu, because of the vertical and horizontal rivers, the border is long, and it is not easy to defend, it is equipped with 3,000 infantry troops and 5,000 horse troops, Wang Shunzhou's Feilong Army is a naval army, which has just been built, and is only equipped with 2,000 infantry troops and 500 horse troops, and the remaining five border Cypriot armies are all 2,000 infantry troops and 3,000 horse troops.
The flags and talismans of each army were uniformly issued to each army. Compared with the standing army, the border army and the garrison army, the military talisman is also divided into three types, gold talismans, silver talismans, and bronze talismans. There is a font number engraved on the talisman, each talisman is composed of two halves of the left and right, the left half of the talisman is handed over to the main general of each soldier and horse in advance, and there is something to be commanded by the horse infantry army to send someone to hold the right half of the talisman and the general order to meet the main general, too small, long, and the font size is the same, then the army is sent according to the general's order, and the matter is over, and the right half of the talisman is still attributed to the commander of the embassy.
With such a change, there will be no situation in which the soldiers under his command are patched together, and only the soldiers and generals can give full play to the combat effectiveness of this army and horses. Moreover, the issuance of talismans and flags will no longer be the same chaotic situation as before, when you have to send a message and send someone to run over to bring in soldiers and horses.
As for the official system, Zhou Nan knows little, mainly because of Yu Liyan's idea. The official system of the old Liao was divided into southern officials and northern officials, the northern officials were the official system of the Khitans, and the southern officials were the official systems of the Han people, and the officials were also divided into Khitans and Han people. This time it changed, and all of them became the official system of the Han people. The Khitans and Han people, as well as other people of all ethnic groups in the New Liao State, were treated equally, and there was no distinction between high and low.
Now the affairs are simple and specialized, and most of the government affairs are still handled by Yu Zhongwen's left-behind government, basically the affairs of the official department, the household department, and the ritual department in the six ministries are still included, and the criminal department is undertaken by Zhang Yingmo's Yili Biyuan. Kang Gongbi's three envoys can still be busy now, and when the border market opens in the future, there will be more merchants and more things, and then they will be specially adjusted.
As for the Ministry of Industry, Zhou Nan was completely changed to a supervisor. In the next step, Zhou Nan is ready to devote all his energy to the prison that will be used.
