Chapter 174: Four Towns and Four Towns
Since the Hu people of the Kuka Department were completely defenseless, the attack went very smoothly. Although it was met with fierce resistance from the Kukabu Hu people, the Xixiang army still won a great victory. In this attack, the total number of casualties of the Saigo Army was less than 100. But he killed more than 300 Kukabu Hu. All but a few of the remaining Kukabu Hus were also captured. At the same time, 1,200 slaves were rescued. Among them, Zhao Nu is the main one.
However, unlike the Hu people who treated the Awa tribe last time, Liu Wu did not kill the men. Instead, they were reduced to tuntian slaves. After all, Saigo's population is not very large. Driving these people over to help with farming can liberate more Han people to come out to fight. Of course! In order not to repeat the mistakes of the Western Jin Dynasty. During the period when they became Tuntian slaves, Liu Ye would also regularly send people to brainwash them. After a few years, depending on their performance, they will be released to enrich the population. After all, these Hu people have been in the north of Shenzhou for decades. More or less influenced by Han culture. And the appearance is not much different from ordinary Han people.,It's easier to sinicize.。
As for the women of the Kuka, they were beautifully selected and rewarded to the officers and the brave soldiers. The rest was betrothed to the soldiers who had no wife. After all, there are quite a lot of singles in the Xixiang Army now. Such an ending is already good for the women of the Kuka Ministry. At least Saigo didn't treat the women of the defeated side as 'two-legged sheep', as some tribes were.
After Liu Wu led his troops to destroy the Kuka department, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he spent several days in the Kuka Department. In addition to the reason why the wind and snow outside are relatively large, there is also the fact that many soldiers have a wind chill. The after-effects of staying in the cold and wild for a long time finally broke out. Many of the soldiers fell ill, which frightened Liu Wu. However, fortunately, this collective wind chill did not evolve into typhoid fever, let alone an epidemic. After a few days of recuperation, most of the soldiers have recovered. This made Liu Wu breathe a sigh of relief. It would be bad if there was a massive outbreak of typhoid fever.
After Liu Wu stayed in the Kuka Department for a few days, he left Xu Jiqu to garrison, and then he led the main army to press the prisoners back to Dongying. After all, Liu Wu, as the defense envoy of Dongying, could not leave Dongying for a long time.
The location of the Kuka Department is very important, and if there were Zhao people (Han Chinese) who came to Xixiang, they would definitely pass through here. Therefore, Liu Ye wanted to build the Kuka Department into a reception center and a shelter. At the same time, it also pointed out the right path for the Zhao people who came to Xixiang. After all, it's easy to get lost on such a snowy day. As for whether the Zhao people who came to defect showed their strength and showed off their achievements, it is unknown.
In fact, it should have been Liu Shi leading his troops to garrison here. However, Liu Shi was attacked by hidden arrows during this night attack, was seriously wounded, and was unable to command the battle for a short time. Therefore, Liu Ye asked Xu Ji to replace Liu Shi in the Kuka Department. The garrison was also changed from Liu Shiqu to Xu Jiqu.
By the way, if Liu Shi was able to survive, it was completely shit luck. The two arrows that hit him were all heading for his heart. But these two arrows perfectly avoided Liu Shi's heart. It can be said that Liu Shi was able to survive this time, and it was really an explosion of character.
As for the slaves who attacked Liu Shi, although they fled far away, they were finally caught by Liu Shi's personal guard Feng Yun. However, Liu Shi did not kill him. Because Liu Shi saw himself in him when he was young, he was adopted by the old lady in this way when he was a child. The difference, though, is that he was only stealing at the time, not asking for human life. Liu Shi not only accepted the slave as his righteous son, but also helped him change his surname to Liu (in ancient times, the righteous son who changed his surname had the same inheritance rights as his own son. This is also the reason why Liu Bei wanted to kill his righteous son Liu Feng back then. )。 This made the slaves very grateful.
After the defeat of the Kuka tribe, Liu Ye announced the policy of 'four townships and four towns' in Xixiang. That is, the whole town was divided into four townships, and on the basis of the four townships, four towns were established.
Now Liu Ye already has a county territory. The previous system is clearly no longer suitable. In order to increase administrative efficiency, but also to be able to maximize the allocation of resources throughout the fleet. Liu Ye made the following reforms:
Politically, the tuntian envoy system and the ancient 'township-pavilion-li' system were abolished, and the two-level system of 'township-village' was replaced by a two-level system. In the village, the post of 'village chief' and a small number of adjutants are set up to manage village affairs, and the post of 'village husband' and an adjutant are set up in the township to manage village affairs. Simplify the system, eliminate redundant officials, and streamline institutions, so as to facilitate the efficient operation of administration.
Militarily, each township has a town, and each village has a team. The mayor of the town is still Tuntian Sima, and the captain is the captain. There are several teams under each town. In peacetime, it is uniformly trained and commanded by Tuntian Sima. In wartime, lots are drawn to decide which team to send troops? What team pays? Of course! The towns' tuntian pawns were generally used as auxiliaries. But he also has some combat power, and is not a complete farmer. At the same time, it also provides reserve soldiers for the soldiers.
In fact, the policy of the four townships and the four towns has been put forward a long time ago. It's just that due to the war, it has not had time to make it public.
The four townships are Xixiang, Hushan Township, Taiping Township and Zhuyong Township. Among them, Hushan Township and Xixiang are west of Shibao, while Taiping Township and Zhuyong Township are east of Shibao. Hushan Township was divided from the original Xixiang. Taiping Township and Zhuyong Township are divided by the boundary. The south is Taiping Township, and the north is Zhuyong Township. Among them, the middle city is a military city and does not belong to any township, and the entire place of governance is still in Xixiang.
Regarding the appointment of the four township villagers, Liu Ye also wasted a lot of brains! Especially the two townships of Taiping and Zhuyong. These two townships were newly built, and they were also used to house the Zhao people who took refuge in Liu Ye. The future of work is sure to be very busy, and it's important. After Liu Ye's careful thinking, it was finally decided to let Liu Ming and Li Yu serve as the townsmen of these two townships.
In fact, it is a bit overkill to serve as a townsman with the ability of these two people. But now Liu Ye has such a large territory, and the population under his rule is so much. Let them serve as village husbands, which can also be regarded as a tempering for them. Especially Liu Ming, since he hooked up with Fan Lan, he has begun to be unenterprising. It's a bit of a joy to be around. This made Liu Ye very dissatisfied! Liu Ye wanted to take this opportunity to let him take care of himself first. Don't be obsessed with your children's affairs.
As for the Tuntian Sima of the Four Towns, it was quite easy to appoint. It also doesn't require much of their ability. Only high loyalty and patience are enough. Liu Ye arranged a few old brothers who had fought with him very early but were not very capable in these positions, which could be regarded as a reward for their unwavering efforts.
In terms of administrative system, Liu Ye also has a major initiative, that is, the formal establishment of the Court of Arbitration. Specialized in trials. It is not accountable to officials at all levels and is completely independent. This amounts to a denial of judicial power to officials at all levels. However, in order to limit the power of the arbitral court, the arbitrators do not have the power to arrest, only the power to adjudicate.
The Court of Arbitration can be divided into two chambers: the left and the right. The left court is in charge of the military, and the right court is in charge of the people. The two houses are not subordinate to each other. Since the people of Saigo are already familiar with it, the president of the left court is also called the left arbiter, and the president of the right court is the right arbiter. On top of both there is the chief arbiter of the Court of Arbitration, although this position is vacant.
……
The moon is cold in winter, and the New Year is approaching. Strangers who live abroad usually rush home with the intention of reuniting with their loved ones before the New Year. Generally during this time period, because the roads are difficult to walk, the guards are homesick, and the caravans are generally very small. But it's not for nothing. For example, this strange silk caravan in front of me. The reason why it feels strange is that there are so many guards in this caravan. And they are all strong and fierce, and they are not easy to mess with at a glance. The caravan felt less like it was selling silk, but rather like it was protecting something. In fact, it is precisely like this that the death order given to them by the general of Zhengxi, Heng Wen, is to protect a person.
"Shaolang-kun, is it really okay for us to do this? Lord Lang will be unhappy! On the carriage, a scholar with red lips and white teeth said softly. His voice was crispy and very nice. If you get closer, you can see that the scholar has no Adam's apple, and it is clear that he is a woman.
"What does he do? That boring alley, so-and-so has had enough! Besides, adults don't want to see so-and-so. Go back and do it! I don't want to be scolded every day! The handsome Shaolangjun shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently. A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
"Then you can't run north! What chaos the north has! What should I do if I run into a Hu person? The scholar grumbled angrily. It's so cute that you can't help but want to take a bite.
"Don't worry! There are more than 100 elites sent by Yuanzi, no problem! Besides, isn't there still you? Shao Langjun patted the scholar's little hand affectionately and said.
The scholar who was attacked by the salty pig hand blushed a little, but he still endured his shyness and said seriously: "Shaolangjun, if it is just a few Hu people. The concubine can still handle it! But if you run into a large group of Hu people, the concubine can only kill you first, and then kill herself! ”
"Why kill so-and-so, so-and-so was caught by them. You can get it back with a ransom! Shao Langjun said with a very frightened expression on his chest with his hands on his chest.
The scholar stroked Shaolang Jun's handsome face with his white little hand and said, "The concubine is afraid that the Hu people will treat you as a woman!" ”
After the scholar finished speaking, the two immediately fell into silence! After dozens of breaths, both of them couldn't help but laugh.
Shao Langjun took the scholar into his arms and scolded slightly: "You! is so cruel to his husband! ”
"Say what? We haven't gotten married yet! The scholar rubbed in Shaolangjun's arms like a kitten and said.
"Say yes! Don't worry about the old man, you Ye Zi is the wife of my guest, and now it is! In the future, too! Shao Langjun suddenly said domineeringly.
The scholar didn't say anything, just buried his head deeper.
Shao Langjun didn't ask much, just quietly stroked the scholar's hair, and muttered in a voice that only he could hear: "It would be great if XX's family background could be lower!" ”
……
In the end, he still can't escape the constraints of the family!
