After a month-long voyage, the fleet finally arrived at the port of Wuqu in Jiaozhou at the end of the first half of August in the seventh year of Zhenguan.

Today's port has changed greatly from when Li Yuanjing came a few months ago.

The reason is naturally that the last time Li Yuanjing left, he personally told Shi Wei that this place would become one of the most prosperous places in the entire Jiaozhou, so the port must be repaired and expanded.

Although Shi Wei is cautious, he does not dare to be sloppy in this kind of matter.

The port of concrete specifications cannot be done for Shibian, after all, there is only a small amount of concrete here, and it is still transported from the inland, and the cost is not low.

But the simple wharf can still be built, that is, find some foam-resistant wood directly into the water, and then use wood to build a trestle, it is very difficult for cars and horses to pass, but there is no problem if you leave.

As for loading and unloading goods, it is not a problem, the manpower of Datang in this period is also worthless, just find someone to carry it a little bit.

The military reform is a matter of great importance, and when the administrative order of the imperial court is issued, the local officials cannot be stopped at all, and even if they have a lot of connections and influence in the army, the scope of influence that these high-ranking figures can influence is very limited.

At the very least, the majority of grassroots soldiers support the military reform.

Why?

Isn't it still a profit!

Before the military reform, the most they did was to stutter on the border, and they didn't have to think about military pay or anything, but after the military reform, it was different.

While most of the border troops here are locals, don't forget that they are border troops!

What is the Frontier Army?

It's the kind that comes for a few years, the composition of the members is very complicated, a large part of them come from the nearby area, and some of them come from other regions, these people have one thing in common, after coming, don't want to go home easily in a few years.

Even if they are locals, it is good to be able to go home twice a year, and the only benefit is probably that during the border period, their family's tuition can be reduced and reduced accordingly, although there is one less labor, but it is barely worth it.

But after the military reform, it is different, first of all, every soldier, whether it is a government soldier or a border army, as long as he signs a military contract with the imperial court, he can be exempted from his own taxes, as well as one person in the family, which is quite different from the previous exemption of one person in the army and the whole family.

But the advantage is that each soldier can get a military salary of 50 yuan per month, which is indeed a big gap compared to the Haizhou army, but the Haizhou army is not directly managed by the imperial court, and the money is not allocated from the treasury, and the imperial court has also adopted part of the model of the Haizhou army, such as increasing the military salary according to the military age, and increasing the military salary by ten yuan per year.

Don't underestimate the impact of this fifty yuan a month, in Datang, if you can earn fifty yuan a month, that is a great person, and it is this kind of stable income.

Therefore, although the local high-level leaders such as the Shijia have noticed something, their control over the grassroots has plummeted.

However, the reform of the transfer of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Lingnan Province cannot be completed overnight, and it has been almost three months since it was implemented, and the imperial court has only transferred 20,000 soldiers and horses from Jiangnan Province and Jiannan Province who have completed the military reform in advance.

The 20,000 people are currently gathered in Guangzhou to wait for the next distribution, and the original plan was good, but Li Chengqian's plan made the fleet directly divert to Wuqu.

Therefore, when the fleet passed through Guangzhou, Duan Zhixuan and some officials from the Ministry of War could only be put down, and let them stay in Guangzhou for the distribution of troops.

According to the principle of distribution, each county needs to allocate a battalion of 800 people, and the state government allocates a large battalion of 1,200 people, every 8,000 to 12,000 people, and sets up a military government to manage it.

At the same time, the composition of each battalion needs at least three Dao, that is, the Daoist occupies 30%, and the other two occupy 70%.

As for the issue of the transfer of troops and horses, according to Li Yuanjing's suggestion, Li Shimin decided to give the localities a certain amount of power.

In the past, without the emperor's troop transfer tiger talisman, no one could mobilize government soldiers.

But it's okay to say about Guanzhong, after all, the distance is close, and it is a matter of a few days to transfer troops, but it is not suitable to use this trick in Lingnan.

Therefore, in the ten provinces of the country, the provincial military affairs office was set up, and the provincial generals were set up, that is, the Lingnan Provincial Military Affairs Office, and the Lingnan Provincial General, which was the highest-ranking general in the military aspects of each province.

The superiors of each province still belong to the Sixteen Guards, that is to say, the rank of the generals of each province is second only to the Sixteen Guards Generals, and the Sixteen Guards generals are ineffective and do not actually control the military power.

Then the generals of the various provinces also cannot control the military power, they are just specific executors.

Therefore, on this basis, a new rule was formulated, if there is an emergency, the governor of the province and the general of the province can jointly discuss and urgently mobilize no more than 20,000 troops for emergency use.

At the same time, before the mobilization of troops, it is necessary to report the details to the imperial court, and then the imperial court will select a general to take over with the transfer of troops, this general may be some veterans, or it may be the general of Benwei, and there is no fixed candidate.

This means that when the governor and the general discuss the result, they must send someone to send the situation to the imperial court before they can transfer troops.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with doing two things at the same time, but if the troops are transferred a few days before they are reported to the imperial court, then the problem is serious.

This is an emergency response, adding a spiritual choice under the cumbersome procedure, which can ensure safety to the greatest extent, this is only temporary, and the imperial court even intends to send the lieutenant to participate again, but at present, the lieutenant is responsible for participating in the discussion? is still only responsible for recording and monitoring this matter stuck with no results, so this matter has been delayed for the time being.

The military reform of the imperial court made the Lingnan wealthy family worried, worried that the imperial court would do something to them next?

However, before this concern has come to fruition, new worries have arisen.

Located in Songping County, the base camp of the Shi family, the house is full of dark clouds at the moment, and they have just received the news that the crown prince Li Chengqian led 30,000 navies into Jiaozhou, and the purpose is not yet clear.

"This time the court can be described as menacing! What are we going to do? Shi Wei said with a frown.

"It must be that King Zhao who is behind the ghost, and he did the military reform...... "Someone mentioned Li Yuanjing and hated itchy.

"It's useless to say these things now, military reform is not something that can be decided overnight, the imperial court has long intended military reform, King Zhao just changed the original idea of the imperial court, after this military reform, the military strength of the Shi family in Lingnan will definitely collapse, for the Shi family, this is not good news!" The priest continued.

Whether Li Yuanjing is doing ghosts or not, it doesn't matter anymore, what matters is how they should deal with it?

After the new military reform system came out, most of the officers who had a relationship with the Shi family were transferred to other provinces, and the most that could be controlled by those who remained was only 30% of the troops.

It's not that you look down on people, but those outsiders have no reason to follow you to do things, that's going to lose your head, and you still have to affect your family, but you have a good life, follow you earth kings to do things? Why bother!

Therefore, there are actually two ways in front of the scholars, taking advantage of the fact that the military reform has not yet been completed, directly launching a military mutiny, or being arrested.
