Chapter 798: Improving the System
At the end of March 209 AD, after more than half a month of national celebration, the state of Chu finally calmed down from the joy of victory, Wang Xu convened the ministers to discuss several times, and decided to comprehensively improve the military and political system of the state of Chu, and make a real end to the merits of the military generals before and after.
At the beginning, Wang Xu went into hiding, and all the officials who had been placed under house arrest for opposing Xu Shu were reinstated.
The third prince is still Taiwei Guo Jia, Situ Tianfeng, and Sikong Fu.
Jiuqing are Guangluxun Wang Fei, Weiwei Wang Mastiff, Taifu Xu Shu, Zhijinwu Chen Deng, Zongzheng Jiang Wan, Dasi Nong Kuailiang, Yanwei Yi, Dahonglu Wang Kai, and Taichang Xianglang.
There are some slight changes in the history of the five major thorns, namely Yizhou Thorn Shi Kuai Yue, Nanzhong Governor Li Hui, Yongzhou Thorn Shi Fazheng, Jiaozhou Thorn Shi Liu Xian, and Jingzhou Thorn Shi Dong He.
As for the changes in various places, the changes are smaller, but Xi Chengye was transferred to Hanjia Taishou, Huan Jie was transferred from Hanjia Taishou to Yuzhang Taishou, Dongwu General He Qi was appointed as Guanghan Taishou, Liu Xian was transferred from Guanghan Taishou to Jiaozhou Thorn History, the original acting Jiaozhou Thorn Shi Xue Zong was transferred to the official Nanhai Taishou, and the famous Zhao Lei was promoted to Cangwu Taishou.
If the biggest change is that Zhuge Liang was promoted to the post of prime minister with the full support of Guo Jia, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and others.
It's just that this is far from being as great as the huge changes in official positions in the army, the three major army systems were formally established, and the entire army of Chu was turned into two parts - the main army and the border guards!
The main army is the largest part, including the eight army corps of Chu State, including Qinglong, Suzaku, Xuanwu, Baihu, Eastern, Southern, Western and Northern, with the general as the main post and the hussar general and the chariot general as the deputy post. The following are the titles of the eastern, southern, western, and northern four expeditions and four flat generals. The official position is higher than that of various generals. The rest of it remains the same.
The Guards Regiment was independent. It belongs to the direct jurisdiction of the king of Chu, and has four generals, front, rear, left and right, which are equivalent to hussar generals.
The border guards include all the sentry posts at dangerous checkpoints, fortresses, passages, and paths, garrisons at strategic points, and naval armies in various border areas, with the general of the guard as the main post and the general of the four towns in the east, south, west, and north as the deputy posts. As for the county soldiers who originally managed local security, they were no longer included in the military system, and all of them were under the command of Yanwei and included in the scope of thieves. It is mainly aimed at arresting thieves and maintaining law and order.
Under such a shape, the generals in the army finally came out of the way, and the outstanding military exploits accumulated over the years finally had substantial results.
Gao Shun was the first to follow Wang Xu, the oldest in seniority, the most meritorious, and rigorous and loyal personality.
Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao followed closely because of their merits, and they were ranked as hussar generals and chariot generals.
The general Xu Huang of the expedition to the south, the general of the expedition to the west Wei Yan, the general of the expedition to the north Huang Zhong, the general of the expedition to the east Zhang He, the general of the expedition to the east Han Meng, and the three posts of Pingxi, Pingdong and Pingbei were temporarily vacant because the other people in the army were not qualified enough. Or the merit is not enough, and there is no suitable candidate.
As for the border guards. When liquidating the military merit department, Zhou Zhi was in charge, and the large and small military exploits accumulated in more than 20 years of conquest were enough to compete with Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, and even exceeded, but considering that his body was no longer suitable for commanding the field corps for a long time, and Zhou Zhi himself also resigned, so he was appointed as General Wei and was in charge of the border guards.
The generals of the four towns under him were vacant in the south and north of the town, and only Zhang Jing was transferred from the Suzaku Army and served as the general of Zhenxi, in charge of the border army affairs. Lu Xun is the general of Zhendong and is in charge of naval affairs.
Lu Xun's appointment is not surprising at all, and regardless of his earlier exploits in the process of seizing Jiaozhou, just the "Battle of Chu and Wu" turned the tide of the battle and directly prompted the Chu State to fight to the capital of Wu is already outstanding, perhaps there are many coincidences in that battle, Lu Xun is standing on the shoulders of giants to succeed, but in any case, the final result is enough.
Not to mention Zhang Jing, he may not have an earth-shattering appearance, but he is always present in the big war and small war, and such an arrangement is also the result of the common approval of the entire high-level. It's just that the vacant position of commander of the Suzaku Legion is temporarily taken over by Ju Yi, and the newcomer Gan Ning can only reluctantly replace the original position of Ju Yi.
In terms of the Guards Corps, there is the former general Xu Sheng, the left general Dian Wei, the right general Yan Liang, and the rear general is vacant.
Military logistics, reserves, tuntian and other matters were set up independently, and the general of the agricultural army was established, which was appointed by the civil servant, and the deputy position was temporarily vacant.
In addition, it is the new central institution of Shangshutai, but all major military and political affairs need to be drafted and discussed here, formulated and approved, and then assigned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Three Princes' Mansion and the major generals' mansions for implementation, directly responsible to the King of Chu. The prime minister, the three princes and the nine secretaries, as well as the three major generals' offices and deputy officials, are all in charge of Shangshushi, which means that they all serve as Shangshutai Shangshu.
In addition to them, there are three other Shangshu people in Shangshutai, namely Zhang Song, Heng Su, and Liu Min. Set up the left and right Shang Shu Ling, and the Prime Minister Shang Shu Tai affairs.
Pang Tong was promoted to Zuo Shangshuling and was in charge! The main army of the right Shangshu order is temporarily concurrently served by Tai Lieutenant Guo Jia.
Although the commanders of the major main army corps have not changed much, the entire system has changed, the hierarchical relationship has begun to become clear, and the highly centralized and mutually restrictive military power system has begun to mature.
It's just that this is just the beginning, half a month after the full release of this list, one after another list of articles was issued one after another, all kinds of rewards were issued like snowflakes, those who were not capable, but the old ministers who had accumulated a lot of merit were also rewarded, and they were given titles and food.
Those civil and military generals who died in battle at an early age were also posthumously awarded titles and food.
Since then, the imperial bearing of the Chu State has begun to appear, and the operation of the entire kingdom has begun to show vitality......
In the next year or so, the State of Chu began to expand its strength in an all-round way, and the profound State of Chu erupted with terrifying stamina. When both Wei and Wu were at a low ebb, the stable surrounding environment, strong and stable national strength, and abundant resources all enabled the Chu State to demonstrate the strength accumulated for so many years.
Among them, Jingzhou is the most rapid development, followed by Yizhou, which can be called a blowout-like outbreak, and now Jingzhou is already the world's top in any aspect, even if the population is also the same.
Sufficient national strength also allowed Wang Xu to set up a second guard corps, and a large-scale expansion of the number of border guards, in order to better contain and monitor the border areas, of which the most astonishing expansion is the Jiaozhou army stationed in the South China Sea, the number has reached an astonishing 60,000, almost comparable to the main army, although most of them are recruits, can not go to the battlefield, but it is conceivable that under the guarantee of sufficient materials, it will be a powerful force in the future.
It's just that this kind of development has also made Wei and Wu more frightened and uneasy, they have not yet eased up after being dealt a tragic blow, if this continues, the gap will become even greater in a few years, which will also force the two countries to become more closely connected. But these are already expected by Wang Xu, the advantageous situation has been formed, and the initiative in the future is still in the hands of Chu State after all.
If it is said that what makes him a little worried, it is Xiliang, after the reunification of the Ma family, it has developed rapidly in the past two or three years, then the attempts made by Ma Yi in his early years are not all useless, at least after years of accumulation, they gradually began to show vitality and slowly entered the stage of rapid development.
This momentum is what Wang Xu does not want to see, Xiliang is no better than other places, if it develops and grows, it will be a great threat, and now Xiliang, which has ended the war, has a strong momentum, and in a few years it will inevitably become a big end, and it is the best choice to contain that side in the bud.
This also made the conquest of Xiliang more and more urgent.
In addition, there are some things that also make Wang Xu more and more confused, even irritable and restless.
That is, in more than a year, Ling Wanqing, Zhang Ning, and Sun Shangxiang gave birth to two daughters and a son, and had their own children, but only Xu Shu and Yan Ming were two daughters, and they were about to go crazy when they wanted to have children, but they couldn't give birth.
Of course, not only them, but the two wives in Zhang Jing's family also couldn't live or die, and they couldn't even find the reason. The divine doctor has seen it, and Xu Shu and Wang Xu have studied it carefully, but no matter how you look at it, there is no problem, but it just can't be born.
came and went in such a daze, several people had to think elsewhere, and finally found a problem, that is, they were all reincarnated.
Zhang Jing's two wives were also the time-travelers captured by Zhang Lie back then, and they were persecuted, so Zhang Jing married them back home in order to make up for the debt, and vowed to take care of them and compensate them for the rest of his life.
In this way, although they didn't want to believe it, after several people studied it repeatedly, they finally reluctantly accepted this reality, that is, the traverser union could not have children!
"Husband, why do you think this thing is so weird? Why? Aren't we reincarnated? It feels like someone is in control of us. ”
On this day, Xu Shu saw several children jumping around from afar, and motherhood was overflowing, pulling Wang Xu to complain non-stop.
"Alas!" Wang Xu smiled bitterly, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "How do you ask me to answer, God knows why?" ”
"I think Xiangtian must have a way!"
"Him!" Wang Xu pursed his lips and sighed: "It is more difficult to let him speak than to ascend to the sky, and listening to him is to be struck by thunder, even if he dares to speak, do you dare to listen?" ”
"Can you give me a tactful hint?"
"How?"
"Let Xiangtian find a way!"
"Forget it!" Wang Xu hesitated and said: "Don't be embarrassed to the sky, he didn't mean to hide it, and there are unspeakable secrets." ”
"But I really want to find out, what do you think I've been trying to do in my life?" Xu Shu was crying and looked a little weak.
Seeing her like this, Wang Xu was also quite distressed, hesitated for a long time, thinking that Xu Shu had paid so much in her life, after all, she was still soft-hearted, and responded with a long sigh: "Then let's talk to Xiangtian seriously and see if we can try, but don't have too much hope." ”
"Hmm!" Xu Shu replied softly.
Wang Xu looked at Xu Shu with pity, no longer hesitated, turned his head and was about to call the palace maid to come in and pass the word, but he didn't expect that the call of the palace maid came from outside...... (To be continued......)
