Chapter 125: The Five Legions

|-> Chapter 125 Five Legions? A few days later, Li Zheng issued another decree.

The main content of this decree is to establish manpower recruitment points in each county. At the same time, he encouraged the slaves who had settled down under his rule to go to the recruiting point to find better jobs in order to create a zĂ o wealth.

This is the second decree issued in response to the previous decree on the contracting of grasslands.

Although the slaves under Li Zheng's rule also owned a certain amount of land and had their own industries, they did not have much land and had to pay taxes, just like the rural population in Li Zheng's time.

Because he doesn't have much wealth, although he can live, he is tight after all.

So encourage them and let them come out and look for jobs that will create more wealth. This, of course, includes a policy of integration. It is necessary to communicate in order to better integrate.

And now, all walks of life under Li Zheng's rule are booming, and the demand for manpower is increasing. What's more, after a large area of pasture is contracted out, each rancher needs a large number of herding workers.

In fact, most of the naturalized and Han Chinese population under Li Zheng's rule were agricultural people and were not good at herding. On the contrary, the vast majority of the slave population was converted from the captured Qianghu. They are proficient in animal husbandry.

Li Zheng's meaning is to let the Han and naturalized ranchers who contract the grasslands recruit slaves as workers to graze for them. At the same time, in order to encourage slaves to leave the village and integrate into the general environment, a decree was also promulgated that slaves would have a certain basic contribution if they became workers. And at the end of each year, every rancher has to evaluate his slave workers, and those with high evaluations have the opportunity to be promoted!

Of course, in order to prevent the rancher from maliciously evaluating and even abusing slave workers, Li Zheng also made relevant preparations. In addition to publicizing that slaves are also Han Chinese, let everyone realize that they can look down condescendingly, but they are not qualified to abuse, and some relevant protection laws have been introduced.

In addition, Li Zheng also asked Zhou Fei, the head of the animal husbandry branch, to organize manpower to go down to visit from time to time, once he got all kinds of abuse, malicious evaluation, and confirmed that it was true, he decided that the rancher's virtue was not up to the mark, not only to take back the ranch, but also to put a stain on the rancher's resume, and even demoted him strictly!

After the issuance of various regulations, Li Zheng believes that the atmosphere of the people will become more harmonious.

He hopes that the people under his rule will become virtuous and virtuous people, but at least they cannot be cold-blooded exploiters

When various decrees were issued in Liangzhou and there was a craze for contracting pastures among the people, the territory of the Xiongnu on the right had been completely taken by Li Zheng.

At the same time, during this period, the White Wolf and Nuro each led their men and horses, and lightning attacked Meiji and the Western Xianbei Lord Luoluobu Shuai.

This attack was too sudden, whether it was the Xiongnu Wang Ting Meiji or the Western Xianbei Luoluo Tribe, they did not expect it at all, and it was beyond their expectations.

Of course, the results are also amazing!

The Meiji royal court was almost stewed with a spoonful, and the entire political institutions of the royal court were almost completely destroyed, and the old kings, clan elders and other important figures were killed or injured.

And the Xianbei of the Luoluo tribe was even more miserable, their patriarch, Lord Luoluo, and his head were taken off. Immediately the tribe fell into chaos in the struggle for power.

After winning these two attacks, Li Zheng immediately shrank his forces. With the big river and natural danger as the line of defense, the troops were stationed in the counties on the inner bank of the Hetao.

From west to east, the four counties of Linrong, Guangmu, Shuofang and Dacheng form an arc-shaped solid defense line. The white wolf led 30,000 troops to garrison Linrong and Guangmu to guard against Xianbei, and Nuluo led 30,000 troops to garrison Shuofang and Dacheng to guard against the Huns on the left!

So far, Li Zheng has occupied more than half of the Hetao grassland, which is 400 kilometers long and more than 200 kilometers wide, and his tentacles of influence have quietly extended into the territory of Bingzhou.

Because of the shock caused by these two surprise attacks, and the strong record of exterminating the right Xiongnu, the Luoluo Xianbei had to move north for a distance, and the left Xiongnu did not dare to take their edge and quietly shrank their forces.

After settling down, Li Zheng first issued a commendation order, and at the same time improved the system of senior officers.

The middle and low-level military positions still follow the Han system, with the captain as the real power to lead the generals.

The rank of general above the lieutenant is divided into seven grades according to military merits, the first and second ranks are major generals, the third and fourth ranks are lieutenant generals, the fifth and sixth ranks are senior generals, and the seventh rank is generalissimo.

Of course, various general titles, which have not been abolished, are used alongside military ranks. For example, the white wolf, because of this battle exploits, was promoted to a second-class major general. His full name can be called the second-class major general Fenwei General White Wolf.

At the same time, Nuro - who had already changed his name - because Li Zheng issued a decree to change his name and surname, so Nuro took the initiative to change his name and follow the surname Li as Li Luo.

Li Luo was also promoted to second-class major general for his military exploits.

There are seven or eight people who became first-class major generals in this battle, such as Meng Li, the deputy of the white wolf. However, although their military ranks have gone up, their real power is still school captains, and their status is not equal to Zhang Shan, Pang De and others.

The rest of them all have military merits, and each has a reward, whether it is gold or silver, or good land, and so on.

The news of the promotion of White Wolf and others made Zhang Shan, Pang De and others envious. However, the two of them are now guarding one side of the town, and they are also high and powerful, and besides, the lord Li Zheng is keen on pioneering, and sooner or later he will have the opportunity to be promoted, and he is not in a hurry.

After Li Zheng had properly arranged the defense line and dealt with the military merits, the entire central and western part of the Hetao grassland would enter the construction in full swing.

Use captives, build roads, water conservancy projects.

Contracted pastures, provided tools, pasture livestock.

Encourage slavery, become a worker, and create wealth.

There is also the establishment of a livestock sub-department, which is in charge of animal husbandry and patrols various pastures.

And so on and so forth, all of them are in order.

At the same time, the new stone city was named Tianhe City by Li Zheng, which was the center of gravity of the Hetao grassland, and the former Baishui City was a subsidiary city.

In the entire newly occupied area, there are those that were originally divided into counties by the Han court, and they are still used. For example, Linrong, such as Shuofang. This grassland, which is not divided, is divided into two counties, one is Baishui County and the other is Tianhe County. Under the two counties, the counties were divided into counties, and each of them assigned a county order.

A few days later, Li Zheng and Xi Zhi returned to the Shenzhou grassland.

During this time, Li Zheng broke the Huns and captured the news that there was no calculation, which gradually spread. The whole of Liangzhou is cheering for this matter.

Even Dong Zhuo in Guanzhong couldn't help but be secretly frightened when he heard the news, so he sent another 20,000 soldiers and horses to Chencang, and raised Li Zheng's alert level again.

There are also several small countries in the Western Regions near Liangzhou, which were also shocked by the news they suddenly received, and they also strengthened their precautions for a while.

With the passage of time, presumably Li Zheng's achievements will gradually spread to the Western Regions, Yizhou, Central Plains, Youzhou, and Jiangnan, whether it is good or bad, his reputation will be further enhanced.

Li Zheng, who returned to the Shenzhou grassland, after discussing with Xi Zhicai, Xun You and others, carried out the reorganization and reform of the army.

First of all, the five major army defense areas that were set at the beginning were officially opened.

Zhang Shan, a first-class major general, returned to Lingzhou and served as the commander of the Central Army, commanding 10,000 war horses and light cavalry, 10,000 heavily armored spearmen, and 10,000 light infantry archers, totaling 30,000 people.

He was transferred to the first-class major general Pang De, a brave general, to Longguan in Hanyang, and served as the commander of the Southern Army, commanding 10,000 war horses and light cavalry, 10,000 heavily armored spearmen, and 10,000 light foot archers, totaling 30,000 people.

Li Luo, the second-class major general of the second major general, was sent to Dunhuang to serve as the commander of the Western Army, commanding 10,000 war horses and light cavalry, 8,000 heavy armor spearmen, and 8,000 light archers, totaling 26,000 people.

He was transferred to the second-class major general Fenwei General White Wolf to Dachengsai, Shuofang County, and served as the commander of the Eastern Army, commanding 15,000 war horses and light cavalry, 7,000 heavily armored spearmen, and 10,000 light foot archers, totaling 32,000 people.

He was transferred to the rank of major general and was appointed commander of the Northern Army, commanding 15,000 war horses and light cavalry, 7,000 heavily armored spearmen, and 10,000 light infantry archers, totaling 32,000 people.

The total strength of the five legions was 150,000 horses.

In addition to the five-party legion, there is also a land war cavalry legion, which currently serves with 300 devastating front war horses, 1,000 green armor war horses, and 3,000 mountain wolf horses. Set up a captain of the Destroying Front, a captain of the green armor, and a captain of the wolf warrior, each commanding three marine war cavalry.

There is the Sky Cavalry Legion, which currently has one hundred and fifty Golden Winged Tiger Riders in service. There is a captain in the sky, and the commander is the Golden Wing Tiger Cavalry.

It also set up a navy cavalry regiment, with 200 pigs and dragoons in service, a thousand naval troops, and 15 warships. There is a captain of Changshui to command the navy.

The three major cavalry legions of water, land and air are not included in the five-party legion for the time being because of the number and the need for the reproduction of war horses. The Marine Cavalry Legion and the Air Combat Cavalry Legion are all stationed in the Shenzhou Grassland and reproduce under the influence of the growth accelerator. Most of the time, Zhu Po Dragoon also stayed in the lake at the northern end of the grassland to breed, and a small part of the time, he would patrol the large river basin in Li Zheng's territory with the navy.

Since Li Zheng came to this era in the fourth year of Zhongping, to the end of the summer of the first year of Chuping, Li Zheng has been based in Liangzhou, sitting on most of the Hetao grassland, with more than 150,000 soldiers under his command, plus war cavalry, auxiliary troops in charge of logistics, and capture from all over the country, totaling about 200,000 people!

Secondly, in order to cooperate with the military merit system and contact the meritorious service system that will be launched in government affairs and civil affairs, Li Zheng decided to use the 20-level knighthood system after discussing with Xun You and others.

The twentieth rank system began in the pre-Qin period, and was only used in the military in terms of military merit.

Li Zheng is now preparing to promote it to government affairs and people's livelihood. Regardless of military merit or other merits, once a certain level is reached, one can be promoted to a knighthood and become a higher nobleman.

The twenty levels of titles, from low to high, are: Gongshi, Shangzao, Hairpin, Not More, Doctor, Official Doctor, Gongdafu, Gongcheng, Five Doctors, Left Chief, Right Chief, Left Chief, Middle Chief, Right Chief, Shao Shangzao, Da Shangzao, Carriage Chief, Dashu Chief, Guannei Marquis, Liehou.

The Han population under Li Zheng's rule had a first-class title at the beginning and was a public scholar. Naturalized and slave citizens are still commoners.

These 20 levels of titles are based on military merits, political achievements, and meritorious service, and those with high merit will be nominated to the Government Council after verification by the merit evaluation department under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Officials. Titles below the ninth grade shall be granted by the Council of Ministers. Titles above the ninth level must be approved by Li Zheng himself.

The title system is related to various social benefits, such as taxation, health care, education, and so on. Once the common people reach the ninth level or above, it can be seen that the official does not worship, and has the right to directly meet Li Zheng, and even put forward various proposals!

Of course, the title system also has a limitation, that is, it cannot be hereditary. Once the person who holds the title dies, his descendants will not be able to inherit the title. If you want to have a knighthood, you have to work hard yourself, or with military exploits, or with political achievements, or with contributions to society, or extraordinary virtues, in order to become a nobleman.

The implementation of the title system is also accompanied by the issuance of a series of policies.

First of all, the area of Yongye field owned by the people will increase again.

As Li Zheng's territory became more and more extensive, many areas could be regarded as vast and sparsely populated, and in order to develop these areas, Li Zheng felt that more Yongye fields should be granted to the people.

On a household-by-household basis, the land owned by each household is increased to 100 acres. Three people went up, and there was no more person, and fifty acres were added. That is, if a certain family has ten people, young and old, then the family will own 450 acres of land. In addition, the land rewarded for military merit is no longer included.

The increase of Yongye Tian still depends on the level of household registration. The above is the treatment of Han nationality, and the naturalized nationality is reduced by one-third, and the slave nationality is reduced by half.

Secondly, five special plants will be opened: Tree Seed, Hundred Fruits, Yanyang Fruit, Mustard Pepper, and Sand Worm. It will be gradually extended to the private sector and used to develop desert areas. It is still based on the hierarchy of household registration, and Han nationality has the right of priority planting, followed by naturalized nationality, and slave nationality has no right.

Again, the red jade bird and the echinoderm pig will be completely open to the people. There is no restriction on the level of household registration.

Finally, we will encourage the development of non-governmental business, and encourage the formation of chambers of commerce and commercial banks to enhance competition and increase business vitality.
