Chapter 174: Sister-in-law

Although the news that the Son of Heaven had rewarded the governor of Lingyun Wuzhou had already been transmitted to Huaihuang by Yang Guang first, the messenger of Chang'an had not yet arrived so soon. Although Wuzhou is a newly opened subordinate governor's office, it can be located in the northern border, and at the same time, it is also the time when the situation in the north is abrupt, so the court is not sloppy about the reward of Lingyun and Huaihuang generals, and it is necessary to send a special messenger of the Son of Heaven to come with the edict and the military talisman seal.

Although the angel has not arrived, but the reward has been determined, Lingyun is not worried that the order will be changed, not to mention, when the Liaodong army is defeated and the Turks will be fierce, the Huaihuang population of hundreds of thousands and more than 20,000 soldiers located outside the pass is a barrier for the imperial court, and now there is a rumor that he Yi Lingyun has actually become the eldest grandson of the Son of Heaven. It was only at this time that Yi Feng's whole body suddenly relaxed, and he suddenly felt that he had indeed collapsed too tightly during the previous period. He regarded Yang Guangshi as a great threat, so much so that he made a lot of moves in Huaihuang, but now that he thinks about it, he is a little too impatient and nervous. Yang Guang originally treated him, maybe at most he was a little precautionary, so he left roses and light snow when he went to Huaihuang, but it would be too much to say that Yang Guang was afraid of him. And now, judging from the letters that Yang Guang gave him, as well as the fact that Yang Guangzheng sent people to send Rose and Qianxue to the north, Yang Guang now attaches great importance to him, and even faintly treats him as an equal, and even regards him as an ally. Otherwise, Rose and Qianxue, the two of them are already pregnant, and at this time, Yang Guang is still in a hurry to send them north, obviously wanting to repair the unpleasantness of keeping hostages before.

Yang Guang confessed Ling Yun's life experience to him at this time, and returned the two hostages who remained in Yangzhou. It is already very much a sign of his sincerity. Now that Yi Feng has entered the sight of the Son of Heaven, Yang Guang is also very worried about what will happen, at this time. Yang Guang's confession is also a sue for Yifeng, first of all, they are indeed biological father and son, and secondly, they are now both prosperous and loss-making.

Maybe he took this opportunity at this time to explain Ji Yao's matter to Yang Guang, and maybe he could avoid some troubles in the future. Ling Yun thought in his heart and got up early in the morning. Yi Feng felt that his whole person was much more comfortable, as if his exhaustion had been swept away.

Anyway, there was Yang Guang's secret support before. Ling Yun didn't really have a foothold in Huaihuang. But now that there is the edict and will of the Son of Heaven, Yi Feng is really as stable as Mount Tai in Huaihuang. He no longer needs to worry about the threat from behind, and Da Sui will not only not become a threat to him, but will be his strongest backer. At least. Yes in a short period of time. There was only one enemy he had to worry about now, the Turks!

However, the Turks have not moved, seeing that the nineteenth year of leaving the emperor is getting closer and closer, Lingyun is getting more and more relaxed, and as soon as the New Year passes, the preliminary preparations of the Great Sui will also be in order, and then the Great Sui will fully fight the Turks, at that time. There are the elite soldiers of the Great Sui who rush to the front, and Huaihuang is even outside the fortress. It will also greatly reduce the pressure.

Calculating the time, the angel from Chang'an may still have some days to arrive. However, since the Son of Heaven had already promised Yi Feng to act cheaply, appointing and dismissing the special powers of the shogunate's staff, governor's office, state and county officials, and even the commanders and colonels of the prefecture soldiers in the towns under the governor's office, Ling Feng would certainly not be polite. He is now considering how to appoint them. Although there were many people in Huaihuang before, they were all staff members in his shogunate, and these official positions in the Huaihuang army were also camp establishment positions, not informal official positions.

According to the system of the imperial court, then the newly established Wuzhou Governor's Mansion will actually have several sets of people. First of all, the Governor's Mansion and Wuzhou, these are two sets of teams, but you can also have one team and two brands, and there is also Lingyun's Shogunate, which is also a set of teams. Of course, the most important thing is the army, the Shogunate is the supreme command body of the Shogunate in Wuzhou, and the Shogunate is the private shogunate directly under Lingyun, it can also be said that the Shogunate is the highest decision-making body in Takeshu, and it can also be said that the Shogunate is only a private staff group of the Shogunate of the Governor of Wuzhou. Under the decision-making body of the shogunate, there are the Wuzhou Governor's Mansion and the Wuzhou Assassin's Mansion, which is actually under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office, but it can also be regarded as the Governor's Mansion focusing on the management of the army, and the Assassin's Mansion focusing on the management of the people. The Assassin's Mansion is managed by a set of civil administration teams in prefectures, counties and townships, while the Governor's Office is in charge of a set of border army and local military teams of state soldiers, towns and towns, garrisons, and beacons.

Now that Huaihuang has become the governor's office under the rule of the imperial court, of course, it has to be set up according to the imperial court.

Originally, there were fourteen cities under Huaihuang Town, Huaihuang City and thirteen peripheral cities, and now Huaihuang Town is set up as the governor's office, which governs one state of Wuzhou, and Wuzhou has jurisdiction over two counties of Huaihuang and Yuyi. Yuyi was originally also a border town set up in the Northern Wei Dynasty, not in the six towns in the north, but later newly established, located in the east of Huaihuang, in the Red City on the side of the Great Wall, the terrain here is very unique, in the upper reaches of the White River, but also the intersection of the two Great Walls in the east, the hometown of Yuyi Town is almost surrounded by the Great Wall, the Great Wall is not far to the east after passing Guangning, suddenly turned to the north, surrounded the town of Yuyi for hundreds of miles, and then turned to the southeast, The last road to Yuyang, northeast of Youzhou, and the inner Great Wall from Wutai Taihang to Junduguan finally converged, merged together, and led along Yanshan to Linyu Pass, which was the location of Shanhaiguan in later generations.

Huaihuang and Yuyi, this is the easternmost of the seven towns in the north of the Northern Wei Dynasty, because of the dangerous terrain, the town has been set up, the barrier Youyan. Now, although since the Six Towns Uprising to the present, after many years of war in Weiqi, Zhou and Sui, this area has long been deserted, but after the establishment of the new Governor's Mansion, the territory of the Wuzhou Governor's Mansion is very large, and the old land of Huaihuang and Yuyi Towns is under the jurisdiction of the Wuzhou Governor's Mansion.

Originally, the fourteen cities of Huaihuang Town of Lingyun were mainly concentrated in the old land of Huaihuang Town north of the Great Wall in Daning City, Zhangjiakou, with Huaihuang Liancheng as the center, in the old land of Yuyi Town, although there were also castles, but they were biased towards Huaihuang. Now that there is an edict from the imperial court, Yi Feng thinks that when he has the opportunity, he can expand to this side, and there are now more Xi and Khitan people who have moved westward in Yuyi Town.

One state and two counties, this aspect is easy to do, Ling Yun is also the assassin of Wuzhou, and the following two counties, Ling Yun thought about it, and planned to let Wei Zheng and Gao Bo serve respectively. Both of them are people who Ling Yun is completely at ease, so there is no need to worry about any surprises. Moreover. The current situation in Wuzhou is also similar to that of a military district, and many places in the prefecture, county, and local areas are staggered with the military. The transaction is also not heavy.

But for the army, Yi Feng didn't dare to be the slightest sloppy.

Previously, he had already set up a ten-level military salary for soldiers, and he did not make changes to officers in this regard at the beginning, but it was not inconvenient at that time. Now that he has become the governor of Wuzhou, he has the power to act cheaply, and he has become a military and political official similar to the Jiedu envoy, and he can justifiably make some changes in this regard. Ling Yun actually wanted to implement the rank system in the army. However, now he is an official of the imperial court, and the Huaihuang army is also a border army of the imperial court, and the imperial court has no military rank system. Then it is not easy for him to implement it directly. However, the imperial court actually has something similar to the military rank system, that is, official ranks. Especially at this time, there was a series of official positions of No. 43 miscellaneous general in the official system of the imperial court, which were originally inherited from the Han and Wei dynasties. Such as the names of these generals in the four expeditions and four flats. In the Han Dynasty, they were all very majestic and powerful general titles, but when they arrived in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, these scattered generals almost became miscellaneous fish titles, especially after the Sui Dynasty, although the imperial court still retained the title of the forty-third general, but it is really a bit similar to the title of glory and the meaning of the title. In particular, the rank of this forty-third general is already very low. From the ninth rank to the sixth rank, there are a total of forty-three general names. The highest is only the sixth grade, and the lowest is only from the ninth grade.

However, Ling Yun felt that these generals were still quite useful, at least they were very useful as the ranks and ranks of the officers of the Huaihuang Army.

Ling Yun has always been a person who respects military ranks very much, commanding operations, and officer ranks are of course very useful. Especially at this time, don't look at the central army of the imperial court has 12 guards, each guard has generals, generals, generals, generals, etc., but in fact, the central army of hundreds of thousands of 12 guards is actually separated from generals in peacetime, and the largest establishment of the army in peacetime is the hussar mansion and the chariot cavalry mansion, the most is 1,200 people in one house, 1,000 people in the middle government, and 800 people in the lower house. Those high-ranking generals in the Wei Mansion have no power to directly command the soldiers below. And once it was wartime, the imperial court was drawn from under the guards, and the hussars and chariot generals who commanded the troops in each prefecture did not directly lead the soldiers and horses of their own prefectures to fight, but the soldiers drawn from each prefecture were assembled at the pointing point, and then reorganized into battalions, and then those middle and senior officers above the team were almost all reassigned from above. In the early days of the Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it was actually similar to the private soldiers of the twelve generals of the Eight Pillars State, but in the Sui Dynasty, it became a strict and secret prevention system for the separation of soldiers and generals, and the soldiers did not know the generals. This is actually somewhat similar to the rotation of military officers in later generations, and in this case, Yi Feng feels more and more that the military rank system is still quite good.

Now Lingyun's army is composed of three types of armies: the Huaihuang army and the garrisons and garrisons of various cities, and the main force is the Huaihuang army of the field battalion, and then the garrison and garrison of the local garrison forces. However, according to the system of the imperial court, these soldiers and horses will also be changed to state soldiers and town soldiers. 1,000 soldiers in the upper town, 800 soldiers in the middle town, 500 soldiers in the lower town, 300 soldiers in the upper town, 50 soldiers in the middle army, and 30 soldiers in the lower town. The original Huaihuang Army will be renamed the Wuzhou Governor's Prefecture State Soldiers, the city garrisons will be changed to the town soldiers, and the original garrisons will be changed to the fort garrison soldiers and the Fengwei Dun soldiers. The name has changed, but the substance has not changed. However, the more soldiers of the three systems need to have a unified military rank system to distinguish the upper and lower sequences.

In the previous plan, a deputy commander needed five seniors, a lieutenant commander needed six seniors, and a gang commander required eight seniors.

Therefore, Ling Yun now plans to change the soldiers and horses under his command into state soldiers, town soldiers, garrison soldiers and dun soldiers, and distinguish the sequence by military rank under different military positions such as town general, commander and battalion general.

For example, the deputy commander who leads the thirty-man subordinate will be the second-to-last rank of the forty-third miscellaneous general, the partial general from the ninth rank, and the deputy of the fifty-man squad in a state soldier will be the fourth-to-last wilderness general from the ninth rank. The main commander of the lower army is the general of the Zhengjiupin Lower Sweeping Kou, and the leader of the team is the general of the Zhengjiupin Shangxuankou.

The head of the hundred people is General Xuanwei of Zhengbapin, and the master of Zhongshu is General Xiangwei of Zhengbapinxia. The head of the regiment is General Zhengqipin Zhenyuan, and the Shangshu Lord is General Qipin Jianwei.

The next town will be the general of the six products of the east of the expedition, and the battalion will be the general of the six products of the Yi army.

The rest of the Zhongzhen will be the general from the five-rank chariot, and the Shangzhen will be from the four-grade Huyalang general, and the military master should be the fourth general of the tiger ben.

However, Yi Feng plans to temporarily set up only the lower town under the governor of Wuzhou, not the upper town in the town, and the state soldiers will only be awarded to the battalion general, and the military master himself will serve as the commander.

The state soldiers, town soldiers, garrison soldiers, and dun soldiers are all awarded military ranks, and soldiers are awarded military funds, so that the order of the various departments under the governor's office is clear. Of course, according to Yi Feng's plan, the state soldiers are the main branch of the army, and the state soldiers are supplemented by the promotion and replenishment from the town soldiers of each army, and the lack of town soldiers is supplemented from the garrison soldiers, and the lack of garrison soldiers is supplemented from the dun soldiers, and the dun soldiers are selected from the young and strong people to be appointed. In this way, it will be possible to maintain the combat effectiveness of all departments, especially the combat effectiveness of the main state soldiers.

Of course, in this way, in all the departments under the general management of Wuzhou, except for Yi Feng, the general manager and the assassin and the commander of the state soldiers, the military rank of the battalion general in each department is the highest, and then the general of the town. In this way, the rank of the state soldier is higher than that of the town soldier.

This is also the result of his thinking for a long time, if the town is set up, then the town will be from the fourth grade, which is several levels higher than the sixth grade of the battalion general. And Huaihuang will be the main general, and the town will be the second-line garrison, and the second-line officers are a few levels higher than the officers of the main force, which is a mess. Therefore, in the end, although Ling Yun had the power to appoint town generals, he only designated each town as a lower town, which happened to be the same as the original garrison of each city.

After exercising in the courtyard for a while, Mulan served and took a shower, where Qinglian had already prepared breakfast, fresh milk, as well as steamed buns, tea eggs, corn porridge and pickled side dishes, which were very rich.

After following Ling Yun for so long, Qinglian and Mulan have already been familiar with Ling Yun's tastes. As soon as Ling Yun sat down, her sister-in-law Gao Mingyue had already come in without waiting for the word to be transmitted.

Ling Yun waved her hand at the little girl who came in too late to stop her, let her go down, and then said to Gao Mingyue with a smile: "You came just in time, I have good news to tell you, Qianxue is already on the way here, and it is estimated that it will be there in half a month." She is already pregnant in July, and it is estimated that she will give birth around the year, and there is not much time, I have already sent someone to greet her, and you just need to help and prepare. ”

(I went to the field for a few days before, so I'm really sorry for the lack of updates!) (To be continued......)
