Chapter 774: Bestowing Seals (2)
The honorary title is equivalent to the military rank, and the two honorary titles of the top ten marshals and the top ten generals are the highest honorary titles of the military. In the future, no one will be able to obtain the honorary title of marshal or general, at most he will be able to obtain the title of general.
In fact, in Liu Yi's mind, Zhang Liao and Cao Cao's generals Cao Ren and Zhang He can also be named one of the marshals, but although Zhang Liao has been subordinated to the New Han Dynasty, but, on the surface, he has not made an inch of merit for the New Han Dynasty, so Liu Yi did not canonize him, Liu Yi planned, first named a miscellaneous general to Zhang Liao, and after making meritorious contributions in the future, he could be named a general. As for Zhang He and Cao Ren, they are still only Cao Cao's personal generals, and they have not officially surrendered to Liu Yi, so basically no one will receive the title of all the generals under Cao Cao's account.
Such as Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang and other generals, even if they cannot be named marshals, but in terms of strength, they can be generals. However, there is no way, who told them that they have not yet expressed their submission to Lewy?
However, Liu Yi didn't know that among the millions of people outside the palace at this time, Cao Cao and his generals were hiding on a street corner to watch this grand ceremony for the founding of the country. Listening to Liu Yi's conferral of the generals of the former New Han Army, he watched the grand occasion of the celebration of all the people. Cao Cao's expression was very complicated, and the generals under his command were inevitably a little disappointed at this time, and they couldn't help but show a look of envy.
In addition, Liu Yi also gave special gifts to Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Du, and some minority clan leaders and so on. They were all canonized as lieutenant generals, but the knighthood was a higher rank.
The highest knighthood is the duke. Among them, all the cabinet members are dukes, and some of the three dukes and nine ministers have also received the duke title. And then down is the Marquis.
The Ten Marshals and individual Ten Generals were canonized as dukes, and then marquises. Admiral level. and lieutenant generals, they are generally earls. Major generals and below are viscounts. Gongsun Zhan and Gongsun Du, who originally belonged to lieutenant generals, as well as some of the leaders of the minority tribes who contributed more to the Han Dynasty, were canonized as dukes by Liu Yi. Receiving the title of duke, for the leaders of some minority tribes, it is unique, and represents the highest honor they have received recognized by the Han Dynasty. Therefore. Even if they were not made generals, they were satisfied.
Among them, Gongsun Zan was canonized as the Duke of Beiping. Gongsun Du is the Duke of Xiangping.
Military ranks and knighthoods are all honorary titles, and they do not have much real power except for the fixed salaries that can be received separately.
The following canonization of a group of generals is the real canonization of these generals with real actual military power.
Zhao Yun. Canonized as a great general. Bestow the title of the town of the country. This general, who is different from the title of marshal, has real power, is equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the three armies in later generations, and is the general who really directly commands all the military horses of the Han Dynasty, and has the right to mobilize all the military horses of the Han Dynasty. It was only controlled by the emperor, the taiwei, and the taifu. Liu Yi named Zhao Yun as the general of the Han Dynasty, which shows Liu Yi's trust in Zhao Yun.
Tai Shi Ci, a hussar general. Bestow the knighthood and the duke. It is equivalent to the deputy commander-in-chief of the three armies of the Han Dynasty.
Huang Zhong, a general of the chariot and cavalry. The military prince of Cijue Town, also equivalent to the deputy commander-in-chief of the Three Kingdoms of the Han Dynasty, was in charge of the palace guards, and the forbidden army under the command of Shen Yong was subject to his controlled transfer. The general of the chariot cavalry is generally the most prestigious and senior person in the army, so Liu Yi thinks that Huang Zhong is the most suitable.
Ma Chao, General Wei, the Marquis of Wei, the title is slightly lower than the duke, but the real power in his army is also relatively large, and the authority is similar to that of the hussar general and the general of the chariot cavalry, but Liu Yi ordered him to take charge of the Western Army of the Han Dynasty, and all the military horses of the minority tribes in Guanzhong, Xiliang and the Northwest Desert belong to Ma Chao's control.
Lü Bu, the general of Zhengdong, gave the title of Marquis Wen. Commanded the Han army on an expedition against the Wa Kingdom. Lü Bu is not in Luoyang, he has led an expedition to the Wa Kingdom for a year or two, and he has already named Lü Bu as the general of the expedition to the east, so in addition to crowning him as the Marquis of Wen, the position and authority remain unchanged. In addition, when Lu Bu conquered and destroyed the Wa Kingdom, he himself might be able to suppress the Wa Kingdom forever and generally not come back. Unless it was Levio who transferred him back or transferred him to expedition elsewhere. However, in the imperial court, there will always be a seat reserved for him. In the future, the Wa Kingdom will be one or more provinces of the Han Dynasty, and Chen Gong will remain in the Wa State to preside over all government affairs, and the Han Dynasty will also send some officials from time to time to assist or relocate some Han people to settle in the Wa Kingdom. These are all strategies that Liu Yi has set a long time ago, so that the Han people will slowly spread out in the Japanese state, so that the entire Japanese state, under the control and governance of the Han Dynasty, will become an inseparable part of the Great Han.
Hua Xiong, the general of Zhengxi, was given the title of Marquis of Guanxi. The Liang cavalry army in the west was controlled by Ma Chao.
Sun Ce, the general of Zhengnan, gave the title of Marquis of Jiangdong. After the canonization of the army from Jiangdong to Lingnan, he will lead a group of his generals to carry out the final subordination of the Shanyue people in the Lingnan area, and after that, he will send troops to Nanyang to carry out more effective rule and deterrence against the Nanyang countries that Liu Yi had subdued when he went to Nanyang earlier. At the same time, preparations were made to march further into ancient India.
General of the expedition to the north, Gongsun Zhan, and the Duke of Beiping. After this canonization, he will return to the north with the Duke of Xiangping to completely wipe out the few remaining tribesmen on the Goryeo Peninsula. In addition, we will advance further northeast in the future. Of course, the farther northeast now, especially the area north across the Heilongjiang River, is estimated to be deserted. Gongsun Zhan was mainly responsible for laying the boundaries of the Han Dynasty to farther regions, and how far he went, how far away he was to lay a stone monument in that area was equivalent to where the border of the Han Dynasty of China was located. Actually, it's an enclosure.
Zhou Yu, general of Zhendong, gave the marquis of Pingyu. He was in charge of all the military affairs of the Jiangdong Army, and his power was equivalent to that of the historical Jiangdong Governor. will also go to Nanyang with Sun Ce.
Guan Yu, the general of Zhenxi, was given the title of Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion. Because Jingzhou, Hanzhong, Yizhou and other places have basically achieved good governance, there is no need to leave too many Han troops in these areas, except for a small number of Han military horses to sit in the local area. Therefore, the original New Han army in Jingzhou, Hanzhong, Yizhou and other places will advance westward, that is, they will launch attacks on the barbarian areas that have not yet surrendered to the Han Dynasty, that is, Yunnan and other regions. Meantime. Huang Zhong and his son will also lead their troops there, and when the time comes, their military horses will march westward into Tibet. Substantial unification and domination of the entire later Chinese region.
When they completely conquered the western plateau for the Han Dynasty, they would stay in the army, and then they would also return to Yunnan, and in the future, they might open up a passage from Burma to India in later generations, and open a fast passage from China to the Middle East.
Gan Ning, General Zhennan. Bestow the title of Pinghai Gong. Commander of the Han Naval Army.
Zhang Fei, the general of Zhenbei, was given the title of Marquis of Xixiang. Unified and merged states, Youzhou, Jizhou local military horses. Future. It will be the main military horse that launched a march to Western Europe through the Mongolian steppes. For the time being, it will allow it to recuperate.
Wei Yan, General Anton, was given the title of Marquis of Duting.
Bond. General Anthy. The Marquis of the Pavilion of the Emperor was closed.
Huang Xu, General Annan. Bestow the title of Marquis of Nanyang.
Gao Shun, the general of Anbei, gave the lord of loyalty.
Qin Jie, General Pingdong, Marquis of Wandu.
Xu Rong, General of Pingxi, gave the title of Marquis of Xiangping.
Zhou Tai. General Pingnan, bestowed the title of Marquis of Zhongwu.
Pan Feng. General Pingbei, bestowed the title of Marquis of Fenwu.
Wen Chou, a former general, was given the title of Marquis of Weiyong.
Yan Liang, the later general, gave the title of the mighty marquis.
Dian Wei, General Zuo, gave the title of Marquis of Guannei.
Xu Chu, the right general, gave the title of Mu Xianghou.
……
All the generals were awarded the title of general one by one and were given the title of marquis.
Every time Liu Yi announced the canonization of a certain general, his general would walk up a staircase from outside the palace gate to the city gate tower to meet Liu Yi and the emperor. Then, Liu Yi personally handed over the military flags representing their generals, the dragon flag of the Han army, as well as the appointment documents, silk seals, and so on, to the generals. After the handover, the generals would walk to the general platform in front of the palace gate, show the new Han army horses and people on the school ground, and accept the cheers and congratulations of the soldiers and the people. Then they ordered the representatives of the army under their command to show their military formations to the people, and then began to parade along the main street in front of the imperial city, and then turned to the south street of the city and went out of the city.
According to the statistics of the military department, the military horses of the New Han Army gathered in Luoyang and Kyoto, more than 3 million people, so many military horses, naturally it is impossible for all of them to enter the city to participate in this founding ceremony. However, it is generally one out of ten, and in this way, there are about 300,000 horses and horses patrolling the city this day. This, from the time when Liu Yi announced the beginning of the founding ceremony, the military horses of the New Han Army began to enter the city and came to the large school field in front of the palace in batches to be reviewed.
A group of Han troops marching neatly and neatly, they showed their majestic posture to the people to the fullest, and they were proud. Let all the people who watched the founding ceremony of the country open their eyes and see the strength of the New Han Army at close range. It really provoked the people to cheer constantly.
In the end, it was a women's army that opened everyone's eyes.
Liu Yi also deliberately canonized the top ten women's generals. Of course, this is somewhat playful, because these female generals are all Liu Yi's women. However, it is also to express the contribution of the women's army to the Han to the Han people, which is equivalent to opening a precedent for women to join the army, and it is also the affirmation of those female generals by the Han court.
The top ten female generals are: Huang Wudie, Yuan Qing, Yin Xiao, Bai Furong, Mrs. Zhurong, Zhang Ning, Zhao Yu, Cao Hua, Queen Yi Jiqian, and Ugan Tama.
Ten female generals, heroic and heroic, attracted the whole city to shout.
With the last appearance of the ten female generals in the street parade, the military parade and canonization ceremony of the founding ceremony came to an end.
After that, the various New Han armies will disperse and go to their respective stations.
However, based on the soldiers of all walks of life, it is rare to come to the capital once, so they will be given a three-day holiday, and they can enter and leave the capital freely, and even, Liu Yi also deliberately opened the palace, except for the queen mother and all the daughters in the palace, as well as some of the officials where the emperor and his concubines lived. Most of the palace gardens in the palace can be viewed by the sergeants below. This can be regarded as the court's grace to the soldiers of the Han army, giving them the opportunity to experience and see the mysterious and sacred palace in their minds. Of course, all officers and soldiers of the Han army must be strictly self-disciplined and are not allowed to commit crimes in the capital of Luoyang and the imperial palace, otherwise, the military law will be ruthless.
After three days, the armies had to leave Luoyang and return to their garrisons.
Because considering that it is not appropriate to make a big show for the time being, regardless of the Han Dynasty's own national conditions, send troops on an expedition. Therefore, Liu Yi plans to temporarily let Dahan recuperate for a year or two. Except for local wars, we do not plan to send troops to the world immediately for the time being.
In this way, it is also just right that the armies of the Han Dynasty can have a rest.
This is mainly aimed at the various military horses of the Han army, some sergeants were injured in the battle to unify the Han Dynasty, and even after the injuries were healed, they still left a certain amount of sequelae, and they were no longer suitable to participate in the war with greater intensity. These sergeants will be selected, either retired, or accepted the arrangements in the army, and will remain in the army as instructors in the army, and will not go out into the army again; Otherwise, they will return to their local government offices to report and serve as officers and soldiers of the local government offices. If you have made meritorious service and received the gift, you can also receive the food and salary given by him with peace of mind, go home to farm, and enjoy your life in peace.
In addition, because of the relationship between the Han army and the Han army's expedition in a year or two, the soldiers in the Han army once again compressed their age. The age of the soldier is the minimum eighteen years and the maximum thirty-five years. Soldiers under the age of 18 are not allowed to be recruited again, and those who are in the army are advised to retire or stay in the army as reserves. Soldiers over the age of 35 will also be discouraged to retire or remain in the army as reserves. This is mainly due to Liu Yi's consideration that if the Han army goes out two years later, then the Han soldiers who are over thirty-five years old will be over thirty-seven or eight years old by then. In the case of an expedition, it may be three or five years long. By then, they would be in their forties. After returning, it is impossible to go on another expedition. Therefore, Liu Yi wanted to make the Han army as young as possible.
In the discussion between Ley and the ministers, the age of the soldiers on the expedition should preferably be between twenty and thirty years old. He enlisted in the army at the age of eighteen, and after two years of training, he reached the age of twenty, and then went on an expedition. With a deadline of about three years, they went out for three years and returned to Dahan to rest for a year or two, so that those soldiers who enlisted at the age of eighteen were only about twenty-five years old. At this time, during the two years of rest, they are also the most suitable time to start a family. After a year or two of rest, they could go on another expedition for about three years, and when they came back, they would only be about twenty-eight years old. At the age of thirty, you can go out again.
In this way, in Liu Yi's plan, a group of soldiers of the New Han Army can go on an expedition for the Han Dynasty at most three times in their lifetime, and after three times, they are only in their thirties, in the prime of life, even if they are no longer in the army, they can create a better life. At the same time, they had the experience of three expeditions, and they were able to continue to train more elite soldiers for the Han to continue the expedition in their place.
Therefore, Liu Yi is actually making preparations for an expedition to the world in the future. (To be continued.) )
