With the change of hands in Zhangde Mansion and Taiyuan Mansion, and with the beginning of large-scale snowfall in the north, Wucheng's fourteen-year Northern Expedition finally came to an end. In this campaign, the Xia army overcame the seven northern provinces in one fell swoop, completely ended the rule of the Qing court in the Guannei, and advanced the advance to the grassland and outside the Northeast Pass, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent northern war.

After the war, the Ji Si and the Inner Court were busy for several months to confiscate the assets of the Eight Banners, and the Ministry of Officials was also busy with the allocation of officials in the newly recovered provinces, and the Ministry of Rites was even more anxious about the rewards after the war.

However, anything can be delayed, but the reward for the soldiers is urgent.

According to the Chinese knighthood system, when the meritorious lord arrives in the founding county, he can be named the county man, the founding marquis can be the county son, the founding county can be named the county uncle, and the founding prince can be named the county uncle, and the county lord and above can not be knighted unless he has made great contributions, and the princes and princes are the exclusive privileges of the children of the clan, which means that Zheng Kezang's so-called edict of not sparing the prince's reward during the Northern Expedition is actually just a gimmick.

Moreover, in order to control the number of Shijue who own tax-free Yitian, Zheng Kezhang also clearly stipulated in the "Jue Law" that after obtaining the corresponding Shijue, the original Gongmin Jue should be cleared and the statistics should be started again. In this way, it virtually greatly increases the difficulty of getting the Lord and the cumbersome calculation of credit.

In addition, in addition to the Shijue and the Meritorious Lord, there is also the so-called meritorious system, medals, medals, medals and meritorious titles, and the previous medals and meritorious titles and previous medals, medals and medals can be added in the process of calculating the meritorious and meritorious people.

After calculating the scores of those who are eligible to receive meritorious civil titles and meritorious lords, it is not directly awarded titles, but also total control, and try every way to offset the scores with awarding titles, medals, medals, medals and meritorious titles, but it can't be done very excessively.

In this way, the addition, subtraction and subtraction were busy, and the Ministry of Rites did not submit the final list of rewards to Zheng Kezhang until the end of December of the 14th year of Wucheng. After Zheng Kezhang saw it, he went down first without a problem. The so-called no problem of course refers to the Pratt & Whitney Award, and there are a lot of medals, medals, and medals, which basically everyone has a share.

Next is the main event of the Gongmin Jue and the Shijue. Meritorious people press not to say, all those who can't meet the standards of the world, will be promulgated without any problem, the one who should be promoted one level, the one who should be promoted two levels to two levels, among which a certain sentry who killed Yinzhen and captured a certain squad leader in Chong'an is the most beautiful, the former was directly promoted from the founding man to the founding boy and won the title of the prince of the school, only a little bit to get the world, and the latter jumped three levels in a row to directly promote from the ordinary meritorious people to the founding uncle.

The final list of those who were promoted to the rank of lord included 12 county magistrates, 8 county magistrates, 11 county magistrates, and 29 county males. This is not because the higher the position, the higher the title. For example, Feng Hui, who was the envoy of the Privy Council, was originally a son of Fengjie County, but this time he was only promoted to the founding prince and Fengjie county uncle, plus the two inspectors and major guards, and the original third-class founding Yiyun promoted the meritorious title of the Xuanli military minister to the second class; And He Shuzhi, who commanded his subordinates to capture Yinzhi, assisted Kuching in defeating the Yinzhi Department, and had the merit of trapping Kangxi and maintaining Youzhou, although he was only a privy colleague, he was directly promoted from the county man to the founder of the country, Quyang County Bo, and Xun, the three princes of the school, Taibao, and the original fourth-class founding Yiyun Tui Cheng Xuanli Wuchen's meritorious title was promoted to the third class; Xi Daping, who stayed in Wuchang, could only be promoted from a county man to a county son with the merit of maintenance, and the meritorious lord was completely cleared, or in the end, Zheng Kezhang saw that he had hard work and no merit and suffered a lot of losses, so he gave him an additional reward of three honors, and the name of the hero continued to remain unchanged.

The most eye-catching in this promotion list are Tao Yue, Gu Jie and Cao Yichong, Tao Yue needless to say, the sixth division of the Xuanwu Army can be said to be the key to the battle situation, this time he was directly promoted to the founding man, Guanghua County, Xun four princes and young masters, and won the third-class auxiliary state to defeat the enemy and push the sincerity of the Xuanli military heroes The title is undisputed; For Gu Jie, as Tao Yue's deputy, no one has much opinion when he was promoted to the founding son, the male of Luoping County, and the six princes of Xun, who washed the horse and got the fourth-class auxiliary state to defeat the enemy and push the sincerity of Xuanli Wuchen; However, for Cao Yichong, who was the first to enter Beijing and won the founding man, Muchuan County man, the sixth rank of honor, and the fourth-class auxiliary state to defeat the enemy and push Cheng Xuanli Wuchen, many people had some objections because he was a foreign army commanding the Shence Army, and even several other regimental commanders who led the Shence Army together with Cao Yichong also felt that the credit was taken away by Cao Yichong and was dissatisfied with him.

It's just that the list was approved by Zheng Kezang, and no one dared to object, so the matter was settled.

After the reward was over, Zheng Kezhang raised his butcher knife and slashed at the Xia army, which was expanding more and more.

There are 30 provinces in Huaxia, including 16 provinces, including Jianghuai, Zhongzhou, Jixi, Haixi, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangnan, Yidong, Jinghu, Hunan, Guizhou, Xuyong, Guangxi, and Shaanxi, with one division stationed in each province. The remaining 14 provinces, such as Shandong, Shanxi, Shuofang, Longxi, Yunnan, Jiangnan, Daibei, Sichuanxi, Beiliao, Jinlan, Guangnan, Hebeibei, Liaoning, and Guangdong, have a total army and two divisions stationed in each province, and a total of 44 divisions are needed.

In addition, Zheng Kezhang previously set up the subordinate subordinate of Shuofangdu in Longxi, Shaanxi, the subordinate of Xuyong in Yunnan, the subordinate of Guizhou in Guangxi, and the subordinate of Nanliao in Guangnan, of which the three provinces in the northwest were subordinate to the garrison of four additional divisions, and the deputy capital of the remaining three provinces was subordinate to the garrison of one additional division, and the sum of these parts required seven divisions.

Zheng Kezang prepared four to six divisions for the conquest of Monan and Khalkha, six divisions for the Kwantung direction, six divisions for the defense of Wuchang, four divisions for the control of construction sites near Tianjin, and two divisions for the suppression of bandits in Shandong and Xuhai.

Adding up the above, not counting the Praetorian Guard, there are seventy-five divisions in total. At present, the Xia army has 85 divisions, that is to say, Zheng Kezhang is ready to cut 10 divisions this time, withdraw two more divisions after pacifying Shandong and Xu Hai bandits in the future, and reduce the 12 divisions in the north and northeast directions to eight after conquering the Mongol divisions and eliminating the remnants of the Qing court, and finally keep the total strength of the 6 divisions of the Xia army below 800,000 in 69 divisions.

Speaking of which, Zheng Kezhang can also reduce the number of brigades in the division, or the number of regiments in the brigade, or even directly reduce the number of outposts in the regiment, so that the purpose of reducing troops can be achieved and the ability to mobilize can be retained, but after repeated consideration, Zheng Kezhang still decided to directly cut the division, so as to reduce the number of divisional special forces that spend the most money in the unit's military expenditure, so as to reduce the military expenditure of the 6th Division and use it in more important places.

The so-called more important places of course refer to the cavalry, the naval division, the artillery directly under the Privy Council, the middle base troops and the construction of military stations in various places, etc., Zheng Kezhang knows that this will inevitably cause controversy in the army, but the pain of disarmament is inevitable, you must know that in this era, except for the Jungar Empire in the west, there is no other 6 major countries that can directly threaten the security of China, even if you want to drive the Russians north in the future, you don't need a division-level army, not to mention that the logistics elements are strictly restricted to the north. The scale of the troops to be used in the two directions to the west makes the troops to be invested not much more expensive.

On December 20, the 14th year of Wucheng, Zheng Kezang issued an edict in the Dahongmen Palace of Youzhou Prefecture, allowing Xia officers and soldiers who had served for eight years but less than ten years to be discharged early - Huaxia implemented a recruitment policy, recruiting the strongest qualified soldiers with meritorious status and tax exemptions, and soldiers who obtained meritorious status needed to serve for ten years after enlistment, and were not allowed to retire from active service except for those who died in battle or were disabled; Once the enlisted soldiers are promoted to the leader of the team, they need to serve for a longer time, and at this time they will not only win the status of meritorious people, but also a higher meritorious lord or even a world lord - retired officers and soldiers can choose to obtain the land of the four Zhili prefectures such as Pingdiquan, Naturalization, Baoketu, and Wuyuan for free, and they can also return to their hometowns or settle down in the seven northern provinces, but the latecomers only have the right to tax exemption and no free land. According to the statistics of the Huaxia Military Department, this move can reduce about 40,000 officers and soldiers, plus the wounded soldiers who were wounded in the first battle of the Northern Expedition and cannot return to the team, about five divisions can be reduced.

On 22 December, Zheng Kezhang ordered that all the troops that had been expanded in Shanxi be dismantled, and that all the local people in Shanxi who had joined the army would be given meritorious treatment, while the Qing troops who had surrendered to Cheng and the uprising would be resettled in Cam Ranh and Borneo. This move disarmed more than 50,000 people, but this part was not included in the Xia Army's establishment table, so it was not considered to be a complete disarmament.

Subsequently, in March of the 15th year of Wucheng and in September of that year, Zheng Kezhang ordered on two occasions to allow the officers and soldiers of Xia who had served for seven years but less than eight years and six years but not seven years to be dismissed. In this way, the first phase of the Xia army's disarmament task was completed, and Zheng Kezhang could save at least 4 million yuan in military spending every year.

As the backbone of the Xia army, Zheng Kezhang must retain it, so Zheng Kezhang decided to set up a young martial arts school in the central capital of Wuchang, Shangjing Tianjin, Xijing Henan, Chengtianfu in the east, and Qiongzhou in the south, so as to improve the martial spirit of the people and accommodate some military elites.

In addition, Zheng Kezhang further stipulated, but all lieutenants promoted to lieutenants must have normal experience in martial arts or young martial arts, and lieutenants promoted to lieutenants must have a diploma of martial arts.

In order to further enhance the pride of the martial arts, Zheng Kezhang issued an edict on December 25, the 14th year of Wucheng, changing the original civil and scattered officials from General Shilang to Tejin and Guanglu Dafu to the common name of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and the Minister of Bideokyuan. The loose officials who were awarded from the fourth rank to the second rank of the doctor were called the minister of the Bide Academy.
