Chapter 171 [Family]

Someone stabbed Yang Zhong in the back, and this person was actually Liu Zhongli.

Speaking of which, Yang Zhong treated Liu Zhongli quite well, he did not despise Liu Zhongli because he was a general of the defeated army, he treated him with courtesy, treated him as a guest, and sent someone to send him to Chang'an to see Yuwentai.

Anyway, Yang Zhong has also been a guest in Liang for three years, and he still has feelings for Liang people.

Hedong Liu clan is also regarded as a famous family in the world, the clansmen are all over the Southern Dynasties, Eastern Wei Dynasty, Western Wei Dynasty, the world has a natural respect for the people in the Gaomen, Yuwentai is not exempt from vulgarity. What's more, at the beginning, He Batsheng passed through the three jings, and only Liu Zhongli could match it, so the famous generals of the Southern Dynasty who could leave a deep impression in the hearts of the Northern Martial Arts were probably except Chen Qingzhi, who was this Liu Zhongli.

Therefore, after Liu Zhongli arrived in Chang'an, Yuwentai was very polite to him and kept him by his side as an adviser to the Southern Dynasty, and the two often chatted together about the stories of the Southern Dynasty.

Through this relationship, Liu Zhongli destroyed one person and saved another.

Yang Zhong takes Liu Zhongli whenever outsiders ...... Liu Zhongli was polite on the surface, but he hated Yang Zhong in his bones. It turned out that Liu Zhongli was pretentious. nsb.Cm the heroes of the world, this battle was captured by Yang Zhong, and he was very resentful of Yang Zhong in his heart, and when people have a sense of revenge, they will pay attention everywhere and look for opportunities to ..........

Liu Zhongli found that Yuwentai's implementation of the Zhou rites in the Western Wei Dynasty really did not stop at the literal and use six edicts to restrain officials, so the biggest difference between the Western Wei Dynasty and the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Liang Dynasty was that the problem of corruption among officials was not serious.

Yu Wentai is not stingy with his subordinates at all, he will make his subordinates rich through guò rewards, but he will never tolerate them making money behind his back.

Liu Zhongli smiled because he had found a way to take revenge on Yang Zhong. When he was in Jingling, he saw Yang Zhong conniving at the soldiers to plunder, and he didn't think it was a problem. When they first came to aid Taicheng, the common people looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looked forward to a group of robber soldiers who were no different from Hou Jing's thieves. Who doesn't do that when he is a soldier? But. Yang Zhong found that this was not the case in Chang'an, and according to the laws of the Western Wei Dynasty, Yang Zhong's behavior was a crime and should be punished.

No one would mention these things to Yuwentai, because Yang Zhong was now being favored.

Yoo decided to give it a try.

One day, Yuwentai was not too busy with official business, so he called Liu Zhongli to the Prime Minister's Mansion to chat and listen to Liu Zhongli talk about the customs of the Southern Dynasty. Yu Wentai is a person who cares about the world, and he is very interested in the Southern Dynasty, which is known as the well-dressed country.

The two chatted very happily, and Liu Zhongli mentioned intentionally or unintentionally: Can the public know that General Yang connived at the sergeant to copy the strategy this time and took a lot of gold treasures to play. …。

Well? There is such a thing!

Yang Zhong, Yang Zhong, what a surprise, you are too disappointing to Gu.

Yuwentai has always been intolerant of his subordinates' arbitrary behavior. What is even more intolerable is that he even concealed his own self-enrichment.

In a fit of rage, Yuwentai once wanted to ask Yousi to ask Yang Zhong for the crime, but he glanced at Liu Zhongli. Liu Zhongli's eyes were full of anticipation and eagerness, and in an instant, Yuwentai seemed to think of something, and he calmed down.

After all, Yang Zhong made great achievements in the Southern Expedition. And good will be hard to find, Yu Wentai can't bear to punish in his heart, but. The system must be implemented, and the opening cannot be opened. Let him sit on the cold bench and reflect on it.

Soon. The envoy of Chang'an went to Jingzhou to recall Yang Zhong, and as soon as he arrived in Chang'an, he issued another decree and crowned Yang Zhong as the assassin of a certain state, but did not add the governor. For a general, a soldier is the foundation of his achievements, and Yang Zhong has become a bicycle assassin, and he is not angry in his heart.

When Yang Zhong knew that it was Liu Zhongli who sued him for his black state, he was even more angry in his heart: the unrighteous retention of the southerners is the bane, and he regrets not killing him. Since then, the residual good feeling for the Liang Dynasty in Yang Zhong's heart has disappeared.

What Liu Zhongli didn't expect was that he indirectly killed Xiao Lun, the king of Shaoling, because of this, which is a later story. …。

In the days when Hou Jing made trouble in the south of the Yangtze River, Yuwentai's military reform also achieved initial results, and a new type of government military system gradually matured ..........

The government soldier system is like a big pyramid, located at the top of the tower are six pillar generals (actually set up eight, two do not directly lead the troops), each pillar general leads two generals, each general leads two generals of the opening of the government, and each of the generals of the opening of the government leads two generals of the same ceremony.

Yitong Mansion is the smallest unit of the military government, and Yitong has a large governor, a governor, a handsome governor, and a sub-governor.

Yitong is the unified army, with 1,000 people per army, and the entire government army system has a total of 24 armies and 48,000 people.

The concept of government soldiers is not a new thing, in the Southern Dynasties, the Northern Dynasties has always existed, but at that time, the various military governments were only scattered around the military camps, did not form an independent military system, Yu Wentai brought forth the new, Chinese and foreign soldiers, township soldiers all into the military government, so his government soldiers are no longer in the general sense of the government soldiers.

If you are a rich man...... If you happen to live in the era of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, then you must have a hard time. Rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world, due to the frequent wars, a family of soldiers and bandits, in order to raise the team, they will fight local tyrants as a means of supplementing the team, so the rich man's yard continues to be visited, today you rob, tomorrow he will make trouble, the rich man has money in his hand to live in fear.

Later, the rich man figured out that instead of guarding the money and letting the family rob it, it was better to spend it to buy weapons and raise soldiers by himself, and when the farm was busy, he should work and work, and organize to train the soldiers when the farm was slack, and when the enemy came, it didn't matter whether the officers and soldiers were coming or the robbers, as long as they coveted our grain and land, they would all be expelled from the ..........

This is how the village soldiers came about.

Most of the rich people who can live in troubled times are clans or local tyrants, and the township soldiers are their subordinates, so the so-called township soldiers are armed with the children of the wealthy clan, domestic slaves, dependent people, and doormen. The purpose was to defend the homeland, as the private armed forces of the great families or the powerful, who were armed forces outside the regular army of the government.

Sometimes, the village soldiers also followed their suzerains to assist the government army in the battle, and when the suzerains went to a certain place to serve as officials, they also followed them to a certain place to protect the safety of the suzerain. The main force of the Han army of Gao Ao Cao of the Eastern Wei Dynasty was such a team.

Since the Western Wei Dynasty was a Xianbei regime and had always followed the national policy of dividing and ruling the Hu and Han dynasties, the main body of the national armed forces was the Xianbei people and ethnic minorities such as the Xiongnu, Di, Gaoche, and Qiang, who had the nature of professional soldiers, and it was their job to fight wars. And the most important task of the Han people is to farm the land.

The main body of the village soldiers were Han Chinese, so they sometimes accompanied them on expeditions. However, the combat effectiveness is weak and has not been taken seriously. Today it can be compared to militia organizations.

In the ninth year of the Great Unification, Yuwentai was defeated. The Western Wei army suffered heavy losses, and the Western Wei-controlled zhì area was sparsely populated. In order to supplement the soldiers, Yuwentai broke the social organization model of the Hu people as soldiers and Han people farming, and widely absorbed the children of Guan You Haojie to enlist .........in the army.

The children of Haojie were transferred to the regular army of the country, and their troops naturally became soldiers fighting for the country.

In this way, Yuwen Taitong guò completed the transformation of the township soldiers into the regular army, and the township soldiers became a member of the government soldier system.

At the beginning of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Xianbei tribal warriors had a lofty status. They are responsible for defending the country, and as long as their military achievements are prominent, it is not a problem for them to enter the prime minister. However, after Emperor Xiaowen's sinicization and reform, the soldiers were gradually marginalized, and the military government of the Northern Dynasty became more and more like the military government of the Southern Dynasty, and its status became lower and lower, and even lost the opportunity to become a big official.

Therefore, there are many contradictions, and the six towns are in chaos. In the end, it shook the national capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The root cause of the Six Towns Rebellion was the attempt of the warriors to fight for their own status.

Therefore, when Yu Wentai established the military government, he fully considered the interests of the soldiers, and he had to do so, during the war years. Only those who have guns have the right to speak. …。

Yuwentai restored the lofty status of the military government, and the 48,000 people of the 24th military government were not incorporated into the civilian households, and they were not responsible for paying taxes or conscription. Half a month to patrol the guards, half a month to practice martial arts. In the function of recommending virtuous people for the country. The military government is treated the same as the local state and county.

At the same time, Yuwentai also abolished the rule that soldiers should prepare their own weapons and horses in the veteran system. In addition to a bow and a sword, each soldier was supplied with armor, spears and crossbows, all ......... by the state.

Because of taking care of their own interests, the government military system has won the support of the Hu people, but are the Han people willing to join?

As a government dominated by Xianbei people, although the Han heroes have money and force, it is still difficult for them to enter the top of the government, but now it is different, as long as they enter the military government system, they can climb up by virtue of military merits, and they can get to cross the gap formed by the accumulation of Hu and Han and have a higher political status.

Therefore, the government soldier system has also been vigorously supported by the Han people in Guanzhong.

And...... Yuwentai also has a higher trick: give the surname Hu, and if the Han heroes who are included in the military government accumulate a certain amount of merit and rise to a certain level, they can also be given the surname Hu, and enjoy the same treatment as the Xianbei people.

In terms of external publicity, Yuwentai told everyone that the six armies of the government army system were established according to the requirements of Zhou Li, and Zhou Li said that the Son of Heaven owned the six armies. The Han Shang Confucianism worshiped the Duke of Zhou, so they let them join the six armies of the Son of Heaven, and they had a lot of face.

However, although there are only six military regions in the government military system, there are eight generals at the highest level of the Zhu State, which reflects the shadow of the old Xianbei system, at the beginning of the founding of the Northern Wei Dynasty, there were eight adult systems, there were eight marshal systems, and eight is an auspicious number in the eyes of ethnic minorities, isn't it? Until the Qing Dynasty, there was also a ......... of the Eight Banners system.

In the Xianbei military system, officers treat their subordinates like masters and slaves. Therefore, making an eight-pillar country gave the Hu warriors a feeling of returning to the tribal era, so they supported it even more.

As the supreme leader of the government military system. The people of the Eight Great Pillars are very important, first of all, the current soldiers, with high positions, great merits, and more importantly, they must make heavy contributions to the history of army construction in the Western Wei Dynasty.

Yuwentai is the first candidate, in fact, Yuwentai has the military title of General Zhu Guo as early as the third year of Datong, and his current military position is the governor of the Chinese and foreign military, the highest military commander of the national armed forces, and the chairman of the Military Commission of the Western Wei Dynasty.

The second to be appointed to the Zhu State is Dugu Xin, the current Great Sima of the Western Wei Dynasty, equivalent to today's Minister of Defense.

In the Western Wei Dynasty, Dugu Xin seemed to have become the No. 3 chief.

The Central Army of the Western Wei Dynasty can be divided into three major mountains from a large aspect, the Yuwentai line (including the old department of He Bayue, the old department of Hou Mo Chen Yue, the old department of Guanzhong Haojie, etc.), the Jingzhou department and the Luoyang Forbidden Army.

The Jingzhou system was mainly composed of the old department of He Batsheng, who had returned to the west after being defeated by Hou Jing, and the army system included Duguxin, Yang Zhong, Shi Ning, Yuwenqiu, etc., most of whom had the experience of exile in Jiangnan.

After the death of Hobatsheng. Duguxin became the boss of the Jingzhou system, but the Jingzhou system as a faction has existed in name only, Yuwentai has already separated several major generals, and Yang Zhong and Shi Ning have become Yuwentai's cronies and .........generals.

Dugu Xin guards Longyou and shocks the western frontier. In the Eastern Wei Dynasty's pen and Du Bi's own handwriting against Hou Jing, it was mentioned that Dugu Xin was in a semi-independent state in Longyou. has become Yuwentai's confidant.

As an enemy, Du Bi of course greatly exaggerated the contradiction between Duguxin and Yuwentai. But it can also be seen that Duguxin at this time already has an important influence.

No matter how close you were when you were a child, in front of interests. One qiē will change, of course Yuwentai understands this, he will not give Dugu Xin the opportunity to establish an independent kingdom.

Therefore, Yuwentai wants to add officials to Dugu Xin. Counting up, Dugu Xin, the governor of the ten states of Longyou and the assassin of Qinzhou, has been working for more than six years, and his prestige in politics is increasing, and he has become the idol of the people of Qinzhou. So. Yuwentai asked Emperor Wei to pass on the decree and promote Dugu Xin to the Great Sima. Da Sima is equivalent to the Minister of National Defense, although he is a little smaller than the chairman of the Military Commission, but he is also a person with military power. …。

Since then, Dugu Xin has concurrently served as the governor of the ten states of Longyou and the history of Qinzhou with the great Sima.

However, it wasn't long before the order to move the town arrived.

In the thirteenth year of the unification of the Western Wei Dynasty (547 AD), the armies of the Western Wei Dynasty prepared to compete with the Eastern Wei Dynasty for Henan. Guanzhong is empty, you can't just take care of Qinzhou, we have to guard against the Rouran people in the north taking advantage of the void, so. Take your elite soldiers to Heyang to defend ..........

Heyang is Hebei, the northern front line fighting against the Rouran people, and Duguxin has no reason to refuse. Obediently took people away. As for the official position, you are all a big Sima. It is justified to lead the northern defense line as the Great Sima, and there is no need to continue to serve as the governor of Longyou and the assassin of Qinzhou.

So it goes. Qinzhou was vacant, and Yuwentai asked his nephew Yuwendao to serve as the governor of Longyou, the military of Qinnan and other fifteen states, and the history of Qinzhou.

In this way, Yuwentai quietly installed his cronies Yuwendao in Longyou...... With Yuwen Dao to contain Dugu Xin, Yuwentai can sit back and relax.

For Dugu Xin, Yuwentai continued to implement the Huairou strategy.

When the government soldier system was not fully formed, Yuwentai made an exception to promote Dugu Xin from the Kaifu and Hussar General to the General of the Pillar State, and since then Dugu Xin's military number is equivalent to Yuwentai, which can be described as extremely honorable.

In order to further win over Dugu Xin, Yu Wentai reconsidered Dugu to keep Luoyang, Po Minzhou, Pingliang Prefecture and other merits to be knighted again, because Dugu Xin's title is Hanoi County Duke, which is big enough, so he transferred these titles to his sons, the second son Dugu Shanfenggong, the third son Dugu Muwen, the fourth son Dugu Zangyi Fenghou, and the fifth and sixth sons Fengbo.

Dugu Xin was not happy at all in the face of such a grand special favor, he knew the story of the master of high merit, so he repeatedly asked the court to leave Longyou and return to the court, Yuwentai has not agreed to ..........

Soon. The Eastern Wei Dynasty sent a murderous letter, Dugu Xin's mother died, Dugu Xin held a funeral in Heyang, it happened that Yuwentai accompanied the prince to inspect the northern frontier, and went to Heyang to mourn, Dugu Xin asked again to mourn for his mother according to the etiquette system, Yuwentai still did not agree.

Later, Yuwentai and Duguxin formed a family of children, and Duguxin's eldest daughter married Yuwentai's eldest son, Yuwenyu.

However, Yuwentai added Yuwendao as a general, becoming the second person in Longyou after Duguxin's military rank, Yuwendao is generous and sensible, cautious, and good at appeasing his subordinates, and his subordinates are willing to serve him, so he soon opened up the situation in Longyou.

Among the other six pillars, there are Guangling Wang Yuanxin, Longxi County Founding Duke Li Hu, Nanyang County Founding Duke Zhao Gui, Zhao County Founding Duke Li Bi, Changshan County Founding Duke Yu Jin, Pengcheng County Founding Duke Mo Chen Chong, these six, in addition to Yuan Xin, the other five are all battlefield generals who have followed us all the way. In fact, Yuan Xin's pillar country is purely a decoration, since there is an eight-pillar country, if there is no matter of the Yuan royal family, it is impossible to say, after all, the world is still surnamed Yuan in name, and Yuwentai is only the second leader, at most it is the CE of the Western Wei Company, although the chairman is a false title, he is still the highest leader to the outside world, and he has to take care of ......... face.

Choosing Yuan Xin, Yu Wentai used his brain.

Yuan Xin is the elder brother of Emperor Yuan Gong of Jiemin, in the Luoyang era, he did the highest positions of Taishi, Taifu, and Da Sima, and after entering the customs, he became the leader of the princes of the Wei family.

Yuan Xin has a rude personality, and compared with the vassals and elegant princes of the Yuan family, he has a more temper towards the Daibei martial artists. He likes only one thing: "play", such as raising eagles and dogs, Yuan Xin also likes to run the industry, his orchard is the most famous in Chang'an, and all kinds of famous fruits in Chang'an come from him. Such a prince who has no ambition and indulges in entertainment is the favorite of Yuwentai's powerful ministers, so he has won the most honorary titles. …。

Therefore, Yuan Xin, the general of the Zhu State who does not care about anything, is really the best choice.

Li Hu represents another mountain: the Luoyang Forbidden Army. When the Northern Wei Dynasty was in Luoyang, the forbidden army as the emperor's personal soldiers, the team was very large, they concentrated in Luoyang Liufang, became the royal guards to defend the palace and the palace of the capital, when the East and West Wei were divided, most of the people of the six squares chose to stay, a small part moved to Guanzhong with Emperor Xiaowu, their direct leadership was Hu Sichun, Wang Sizheng, etc., the two chiefs no longer led the troops after entering the pass, and the forbidden army was led by Li Hu ..........

Although Li Hu was originally a subordinate of He Batyue, he was the second person second only to He Batyue in terms of position in the army, but after He Batyue's death, they stood on the wrong team, and all the generals in the army supported Yuwentai's position, but he was bent on inviting He Batsheng to the army to be in charge, but unfortunately, He Batsheng was unwilling to take over in person, so he had to rush back to Guanzhong, unfortunately he was arrested by Gao Huan on the way, fortunately, he got acquainted with Emperor Yuan Xiu, and since then he has been on the side of Yuan Xiu and has become a general of the forbidden army. Since then, he has held important positions in the defense of the royal family...... During the Battle of Heyin, he was the first to run back to Guanzhong to protect the prince.

Li Hu once paraded with Yuwentai in Beishan, someone was bitten by a leopard, no one dared to save it, Li Hu didn't have time to take the guy, rushed up to fight the leopard with his bare hands and killed the leopard. Yu Wentai sighed: The public name is Tiger, and it really deserves its name.

Li Hu's current position is Tai Lieutenant, which is equivalent to an honorary national commander. The position of Taiwei was one of the three princes in charge of the army during the Qin and Han dynasties, but now it is only an honorary position.

Not to mention Zhao Gui, the founding prince of Nanyang County, he is the key figure of Yuwentai to this day, although he is responsible for the defeat of several east-west wars, but the draft does not forget to dig wells, and Zhao Gui's treatment is a ......... that others can't compare.

Li Bi, the founding prince of Zhao County, Yu Jin, the founding prince of Changshan County, and Mo Chen Chong, the founding prince of Pengcheng County, were all veteran generals in the Western Wei army, with great merits and loyalty to Yuwentai.

Except for Yu Wentai and Yuan Xin, the other six people each commanded an army.

The twelve generals are Guangping Wang Yuanzan, Huai'an Wang Yuanyu, Qi Wang Yuankuo, Pingyuan County Founding Duke Mo Chenshun, Zhangwu County Founding Duke Yu Wendao, Gaoyang County Founding Duke Da Xiwu, Yangping County Founding Duke Li Yuan, Fanyang County Founding Duke Dou Lu Ning, Huazheng County Founding Duke Yu Wengui, Boling County Founding Duke He Lanxiang, Chenliu County Founding Duke Yang Zhong, Wuwei County Founding Duke Wang Xiong.

This list is already very different from the list created by Yuwentai for the Twelfth Army. Among the twelve generals at that time, Li Bi, Dugu Ruwish, Zhao Gui, Yu Jin, Hou Mo and Chen Chong were ranked in the Zhu Kingdom, Li Yuan and Da Xiwu were promoted to the generals, and the other five died young.

Liang Yu died in Dongyongzhou in the fourth year of Datong, several Hui died of illness in Luyang in the thirteenth year of Datong, Liu Liang died in Dongyongzhou in the thirteenth year of Datong, Wang De died in Jingzhou in the fourteenth year of Datong, and Yifeng died of illness on the way to aid Wang Sizheng in the fifteenth year of Datong. The fame is not obvious, and the book of Zhou lists the five people in one volume, which has a lot of regrets..........

Although Yuwentai is one of the great generals of the Zhu State, he also has the title of the governor of the Chinese and foreign military forces, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the whole country, and all the generals and troops of the Zhu State naturally have to obey his command.

In fact, when it comes to going on an expedition in the future, Yuwentai can directly command the general to go on the expedition, so the general of the Zhu State is nominally high and powerful, but in fact it gradually becomes the title of political zhì, and finally evolves into an honorary title.

Along with the military system, there are also generations of people to restore the old surname and give the surname Hu to the Han people, Yuwentai regarded the surname as a kind of highest honor, such as Zhao Gui was honored as the general of the Zhu State at the same time gave the surname Yifu, Li Bi gave the surname Tuhe.

From the 14th year of the Great Unification to the 16th year of the Great Unification when the dust settled on the Eight Great Pillar States, the military system of the Western Wei Dynasty matured, and the combat effectiveness of the army was significantly improved.

The adjustment of the army had just been completed, and before Yu Wentai, the chief architect of the reform, could take a breath, an urgent report came from the east that the Eastern Wei Dynasty had changed. (To be continued......).
