Chapter 478: Military and Political Courts
Because among the soldiers and horses of Khorezm, the Kipchak tribe is the mainstay. The Kipchak steppe in the northwest is a backward and wild land. Therefore, as soon as these tribal soldiers and horses came to Xunskan City, they were dazzled by the prosperity and richness here.
As a result, I want everything, I want everything. It's like a bunch of robbers, looting all the valuable things in the city. Even the cushions used to bow in the mosque were robbed by these Kipchak robbers who had never seen the world.
It was the misdeeds of the Kipchaks that made Ali Silvad angry that he parted ways with Akpchukereh in the name of pursuing the rebels of the Khanate. Without restraint, Akp fell and deliberately connived. The Kipchaks were even more lawless, causing all the people of Seeskan to have no peace.
Every day, people secretly leave the city, away from the most prosperous city in the river and even in the Western Regions.
But the cathars are just outside the city! So as soon as they escaped, they were discovered by the cathars. Knowing that the cathars were kind to the common people, these escaped civilians were not afraid of being caught by the cathars. Instead, he took the initiative to take refuge and asked the cathars to take him in.
It was also they who watched the cathars drive away the Kipchak bandits from the city. So as to wait for the city to be broken, and return to his homeland.
Some of the situation in the city was revealed from the mouths of the fugitives.
The most important of these was how they managed to sneak out of the city through the blockade of the Kipchaks and the rebels of the Khanate.
"You mean, most of the Khanate's soldiers in the city were dissatisfied with the Kipchaks' plunder, so they secretly let the people out of the city." , Dodoa said frankly. Before, he only cared about conquering Xun Sigan in one go, demonstrating the national prestige of Khorasan. As a result, he ignored and took advantage of the contradictions within the city of Xunskan to help the cathars attack the city.
Listening to his words now, I suddenly feel that there is a lot to be done in this matter.
"Exactly! The Kipchaks' wanton plundering had aroused widespread resentment among the Khanate's soldiers. However, the Kipchaks were strong, and there were generals pressing them. Make them dare not speak out! And he let the people out of the city without permission, and could not bear to be humiliated by the Kipchaks. ”。 Seeing Duoduo Atan's hidden intentions, Mi'er begged Yan to speak up. He is a herd slave from the Qiyan Department in Mobei! In the early years of inter-tribal warfare, he was captured by rival tribes. He was wandered and sold into the river.
Later, the Guardian Army recruited troops in Puhua and abolished slavery. He had the privilege of joining the Guardian Corps and becoming one of them.
Although the Qiyan tribe where he is now located is the overlord of the Mobei grassland, he has no intention of returning to the tribe. Because in the apologetic army, he has become a middle and high-level general. To be in charge of a battalion alone, you must have soldiers and have power.
Even because of the expansion of the army, the overall combat strength of the cathar army has declined. But he believed that after the battle of Xunskan, the combat power of the cathar army would definitely increase several times. After all, the corpses that were burned by the fire had already been known to the cathar soldiers. There are no eyes on the battlefield, and if you are not careful, you will end up in a different place.
So after finding a girl from a Sogdian family as his daughter-in-law, he settled down in Khorasan completely. Now that the family's newly married daughter-in-law is pregnant, he wants to go further in the military.
In the end, the higher the military rank, the more your family will be taken care of. In the place of the Imperial Academy, their descendants are also eligible to enter.
He heard that in the future, the military and political dignitaries of Khorasan will all come from the political and military academies of the Imperial Academy. At present, the news has reached the people, causing many people to rush to send their children inside.
Unfortunately, the Imperial Academy has extremely strict restrictions on admission! The first is the entrance exam, no matter who or what status, if you want to enter the school, you must pass the exam. And the quota is limited to 1,000 students per year, and the admission is from high score to low score.
Only a small number of high-ranking military and political officials or those with special meritorious service are eligible for the designated push quota. And everyone, only once to use.
As with the number of places to be admitted to the examination, there is a limited number of places for this place. There are only 100 of them, and the official positions are promoted in order from high to low. It can be recommended by both men and women, and must be a direct descendant of their own family. It's just that when women enter the political academy and the military academy, they can only choose a few subjects to study.
If there are no direct descendants or if they do not meet the requirements for admission, the number of candidates for the official will be automatically extended to the next level. In this way, it is guaranteed that 100 officials will be elected every year.
At present, this admission method is still in the draft stage! The large-scale enrollment of the Imperial Academy has not been launched to the public. Therefore, most of the students in the entire academy are internal recommendations and children of various officials.
When the Department of Education of the Ministry of Rites promulgates this regulation in the future, then the Imperial Academy will not be able to enter if you want to.
It is precisely because of this that Mi'er Qiyan understands this, so he is so eager to climb up. So as to fight for a place for their descendants.
Speaking of which, it is also the territory of Khorasan, and there has never been a system similar to the imperial examination election in the Central Plains. As a result, the governance of government affairs is mostly handled by businessmen or favored domestic slaves. Like the several viziers of the Abbasid Empire, they were all born as domestic slaves of the caliphate.
Although they are also quite capable! But this is a minority, after all. In the end, they don't have that ability, and they can't afford to hold the official position of the vizier.
Therefore, in order to solve this situation at the source, it is still necessary to establish a complete system for selecting and employing officials. The imperial examination of the Great Song Dynasty is naturally the best reference object at the moment! However, the imperial examination of the Great Song Dynasty was a statecraft based on the Confucian system. However, the territory of Khorasan is a multi-ethnic country with Islam as the main faith.
They want to establish a imperial examination system, but they do not have enough ideological system to rely on. In addition, if there is no long-term exploration and precipitation, then this system will only have poor water and soil.
Therefore, Li Chengji decided to start with the Imperial Academy and create the Military and Political Academies. Through the highest selection, a group of qualified talents will be selected for training. The content taught in it is also what he thinks is the most suitable for teaching after he has screened it.
In the future, as these people become more successful, they will be able to teach more people. The scale of the military and political courts will also be expanded.
But that's all for the future! With the vision and identity of Mi'er begging, he will not be able to touch Li Chengji's concept. So at the moment, he just knows how to seize the upcoming election quota.
Duoduo Atan didn't know that Mi'er begged for Yan and had this mind. But he still understands the idea of fighting for military merit. After thinking for a while, he said, "Then do you know which gates are guarded by these khanate soldiers?" ”。
"The last general has inquired clearly! The Kipchaks did not believe in these khanate soldiers. Therefore, they were only allowed to take turns guarding the gates of the less important cities at different intervals. ", the prepared Mi'er begged for a long time to respond.
