Chapter 113: Control

readx;

At the end of May of the third year of the Second Emperor, just three days before the death of the Great Qin State, an edict came out of the emperor's study in Xianyang Palace to announce to the world, and after this edict, there were several appointments that were not disseminated among the people at all, and quietly issued an edict from the emperor's study, the cabinet and the six ministries.

Hu Hai's eldest son, who has already been full moon, was officially canonized as the prince of Great Qin and King Kang on this day, May 29 of the Great Qin calendar. Ying Lekang, who was just over half a year old and was still babbling, was canonized as King Kang, once again opening a precedent for Great Qin.

Just a few months after Hu Hai had just canonized Meng Tian as the Duke of Jiuyuan, the first prince of Great Qin also reappeared.

Of course, because this first prince appeared on the eldest prince Ying Lekang, at this time, many people have not understood the true meaning behind Hu Hai Jiang Ying Lekang, who is still a milk baby. Perhaps the cabinet and a few important ministers in the court will notice something, but it is certain that they still have not touched the pulse of Hu Hai's actions.

The eldest prince Ying Le Kang was canonized as King Kang, and the daughter Ying Wenyin born to Long Mei was canonized as the eldest princess of Great Qin and was named Anle. Princess Anle means that the world is peaceful and the people are healthy.

After this edict that announced to the world, there were several appointments that were not known to the people at all but were extremely important to Great Qin.

The Ministry of War set restrictions to force the soldiers and low-level generals in each corps to retire and enrich the place, in fact, only the Longxi Army, the Jiuyuan Army and the Southern Navy were the most affected. To be precise, except for the Longxi Army, which has never received new recruits, the original establishment of the rest of the three armies, such as the Jiuyuan Army and the Southern Navy, has far exceeded the weaving of 100,000 soldiers of all kinds for each legion set by Hu Hai.

Because. These three armies have existed since the time of the First Emperor, and they are the Dingding army that exists as the gate of the Great Qin State.

Originally, the Southern Navy, which had the largest number of 500,000 people, was damaged in the battle because of the incident of Zhao Tuo and Ziying, and then part of it was eliminated by Hu Hai, and then the 100,000 army of Feng Zheng and Han Xin was divided and mixed, and it was sharply reduced to more than 200,000.

The Teng Snake Army Jia Han took away tens of thousands, and now the Southern Navy is only in the early 200,000s.

The Jiuyuan Army originally had 300,000, and Hu Hai sent 100,000 to the north, and now there are tens of thousands of elite cavalry stationed in the official warehouses of Linzi, Langya and other counties. Even if he followed Meng Tian back to some of them, it was only in his early 200,000s.

As for the Longxi Army, not to mention. Because Li Xin lost that year. The Longxi army suffered a different cold reception in the Great Qin Dynasty like Li Xin. Originally, there were more than 300,000 troops, and the Longxi Army, which was basically on par with the Jiuyuan Army. For more than ten years, it has always maintained a scale of 50,000 or 60,000 people, which is enough to defend the two counties of Longxi and Beidi.

Of course, the fact that Li Xin and the Longxi army were given a cold reception in the court did not mean that the First Emperor did not attach importance to Longxi and Beidi, the westernmost frontier areas of Great Qin. You must know that the first time the first emperor went on a hunting tour was to the two counties of Longxi and Beidi.

It can be said that the retirement order of the Ministry of War is mainly aimed at the Southern Navy and the Jiuyuan Army. Because now the establishment of these two armies in Great Qin far exceeds the establishment of the legions approved by the Ministry of War.

Of course. It is also true that there are many old and weak people in these two armies. After all. The Southern Navy and the Jiuyuan Army have been guarding the northernmost and southernmost places of Great Qin for more than ten years. Of course. Among them, a large part of the Longxi Army was forcibly sent back to the locality.

And the rest of the army, such as the Tiger Army, the Royal Forest Army, the White Tiger Army, the Guilin Army, etc., are actually most of the newly established legions after Hu Hai took control of the world. These more than ten legions are basically young and strong, after all, they are early at the beginning of the army. Hu Hai has already eliminated the old, weak, sick and disabled.

If you add the old Qin soldiers who are scarred and tired of fighting and want to live a peaceful life, the Jiuyuan Army and the Southern Navy, the Longxi Army, the Guilin Army, and the South Vietnamese Army have all lost significantly, and the two armies of the Jiuyuan Army and the Southern Navy, which are the heaviest in the army, have lost the most weight.

Among them, nearly 100,000 soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army and the Yugoslav Navy were forcibly discharged and returned to their localities, and if we add those who voluntarily applied for retirement, the number has far exceeded 100,000. The Longxi Army, the Guilin Army, and the South Vietnamese Army each had nearly 10,000 people retired.

Under Hu Hai's order, the Jiuyuan Army and the Southern Navy each transferred tens of thousands of extra troops to supplement the three armies of Longxi, Nanyue, and Guilin, which had less than 100,000 troops.

Replenishing the 100,000 Longxi Army, the 100,000 Feng Zheng South Vietnamese Army, and the 100,000 Han Xin Guilin Army, basically the Jiuyuan Army and the South Korean Navy have been successfully slimmed down. But it's still not complete. The extra tens of thousands of troops were transferred to the nearest counties of Jiuyuan, Annan, and Hexi.

Jiuyuan is underpopulated, needless to say, the two counties of Annam and Hexi are both newly established county governance, and there are basically not many people, let alone recruiting county officials. From the regular army to the county soldiers, but the county soldiers of these three counties still enjoy the treatment of sixteen regular armies.

It can be said that after the new "Law of War" was announced to the world, the Ministry of War was busy with this matter.

By the end of May, except for the Southern Navy and the Jiuyuan Army, which were far away, they were not in place, and the sixteen regular armies of Daqin had basically been reduced to a 100,000-strong army. Needless to say, this is of great significance to Great Qin.

The two forces entrenched in Jiuyuan and the South China Sea that can influence the political situation of Great Qin and the world have basically disappeared. Although the names of the Jiuyuan Army and the Southern Navy still exist, their strength has been sharply reduced, and they no longer have the strength to touch the foundation of Great Qin at every turn.

It was under these circumstances that Hu Hai's edicts on May 29 were belated.

Removed the position of general of Yingyi Huben, transferred Meng Tian, the Duke of Jiuyuan, back to Beijing, and commanded 100,000 Huben troops with the title of duke; The former deputy general of the Jiuyuan Army, Shima, was promoted to the general of Jiuyuan, commanding the 100,000 Jiuyuan Army after the slimming; Removed Xin Sheng from the position of lieutenant of Longxi County, was named General of Longxi, and commanded 100,000 Longxi Army; Wang Kun, the general of the tuning battalion, was the lieutenant of Longxi County and was given the number of general Zhenxi;

Nearly 30,000 cavalry soldiers of the original Jiuyuan Army stationed in Guancang in Linzi, Langya, Handan, Jiaodong and other places, all the generals and soldiers were promoted to one level and transferred to the direct jurisdiction of the military department. Since then, it has been separated from the sequence of the Nine Plains Army.

The new forbidden army was established, and the 30,000 soldiers of the Guanzhong battalion were converted into the forbidden army on the spot, and they were full-time guarding Xianyang, the capital of the Great Qin State. Meng Li, the former Liyang defender, was the deputy general of the forbidden army and temporarily led 30,000 forbidden troops.

The 50,000 Imperial Forest Army to which Jing Yan belonged was a full-time guard of Xianyang Palace and served as the emperor's personal army. Of course, the Imperial Forest Army said that it was only a superficial statement that the emperor's pro-army, and everyone knew that the Longwei Mansion pro-guard was the emperor's real pro-army.

At this point, the Jiuyuan Army, which had been controlled by the Mengshi clan for decades, began to be truly controlled by Hu Hai. After a series of actions, Hu Hai finally firmly controlled the more than 1 million elite troops across the country.

The emperor's desire to control the military power of Great Qin was already understood by the people of Great Qin after the "Law of War" was announced to the world. So I was surprised, but I didn't find it too difficult to accept. took away the control of the Meng clan over the Jiuyuan Army, but gave Meng Tianhu Ben the position of commander of the Mengli Forbidden Army, which can be regarded as another compensation.

What is really incomprehensible is Hu Hai's appointment to the post of internal history! (To be continued)
