Chapter Ninety-Eight: Allies Turn Against Each Other

How can the reform of the country be completed in such a sentence or two, and there are still many changes. There are many, many changes, such as the single uniform of the soldier has become many sets, although they are all red clothes, but they have become clothes that adapt to various weather or zones. The red color looks vigorous and very neat, originally Lu Bing wanted to use camouflage that was good at concealment, but then gave up, because this era can't be made at all, since it is easy to leak, it is better to be more deterrent. The big red uniform, the soldier with his head held high, and the angry horse in fresh clothes are the best words to describe the new army, under the various inventions of the Inhuman Hall and the Creation Bureau, the weapons are constantly improved, and after testing, they are put into production, which makes the new army full of combat power.

Capable people are all in the people, and through the wisdom of the whole people, new types of weapons have emerged one after another, and their power has greatly increased. The Ministry of Industry continues to manufacture a large number of standard equipment, which is built in batches in strict accordance with the standards to form an assembly line model, which has improved both efficiency and quality. The military uniforms have not only become beautiful, but also the material has become very good, and there are thickened cotton clothes in winter, the soldiers are grateful to Dade, and the army's food is like the New Year every day. However, the army is not a place to raise moths, and the new country has conducted a military ability test, and those who fail to pass will be eliminated, of course, it is not to unload the mill and kill the donkey after the battle, and all those who retire have rich gold and silver rewards, which are enough for some other way of life.

The Ming Dynasty's guard system was continued, but the soldiers in the guard post of the new country were all deployed by the large military region, for example, the guard post in the southern Xinjiang of the new country needed to obey Lu Yi's orders, which concentrated the power. All the military power is firmly in the hands of Lu Bing's trust, so it is equivalent to holding it in Lu Bing's hands. Today's guards and soldiers randomly pick out a unit and put it in the former Ming Dynasty. It's the trump card troops.

The recruitment of new recruits continues, and everyone is attracted by the good treatment, and the long-standing saying that a good man is not a soldier and a good iron is not a nail, but in the new country, where anything is possible, has become a fallacy that makes people laugh off their teeth.

And Lu Bing did not break his promise, except for the concubines who had been canonized, all the rest were based on the principle of voluntariness. If you want to go, you can go, and if you don't want to go, you can marry directly. The choice of the person to marry is in the army, and anyone who is interested can draw lots to decide to participate in the blind date conference. and then let them fall in love freely, and as a result, all these show girls in the harem were digested by the wolf-like boys.

From the general's concubine to the soldier's wife, there are these deep palace women. Most of them were elected by the people. Sometimes they were forcibly conscripted into the palace. This is all a good thing that Zhu Houxi did, he just said what he meant, as for what the people below did, he didn't care at all, this is also the root of the fall of the Jiajing Dynasty, if not, it would not have lost the hearts of the people.

Most of these women are very good-looking, and they originally had a slightly better status than palace maids in the palace, but now they are also the wives of serious families. How grateful these women's families are to Dade will not be said for the time being. It is said that most of these women also read Lu Bing's good, of course, a few people are not enough, and they fantasize that they can come out in the palace and become a slut of the previous generation of concubines. The soldiers of the new country are more loyal. Some of them are because the married woman blows the pillow wind, and there is no need to do loyal and patriotic propaganda for any sworn allegiance and the like. There are also some who are jealous that they have not done such a good thing, but most of them are still very happy, because they are no longer soldiers for food and military salaries, but for Lu Bing. Such a person who thinks about soldiers all the time is worth his life.

Therefore, Lu Bing has the name of a matchmaker in the army, although with some banter, but everywhere is also full of happiness, the holy sometimes is a resolute and mighty lion charging into battle, one person kills hundreds of enemy troops, sometimes it is a soaring eagle can attack the capital at night and win victory in the air, and at the same time it is like a warm sun shining in everyone's heart, warm.

In addition to these puzzling but admirable things, Lu Bing also did something that caused an uproar. That is, there is no amnesty for the world, generally after the new emperor ascends the throne or a new country is established, an amnesty will be given, except for the rebellion and the great sin of the nine clans, it can generally be pardoned. The purpose of the amnesty is to celebrate the whole country, so that these prisoners will be grateful to Dade, and the families of these prisoners will also have a grateful heart, so as to hope to win the hearts of the people.

If a new state is established, it will be even more necessary to grant amnesty to the world, because these people were arrested according to the laws of the previous dynasty, and since the previous dynasty was overthrown, it is tantamount to denying their laws. Releasing criminals in this way is not only a kind of winning the hearts and minds of the people, but also a kind of denial and slander against the previous dynasty, and it is also a gimmick to create a momentum for the former dynasty's mediocrity, that is, to overturn a boatload of people with a stick, claiming that they were all framed by the harsh and dirty former dynasty.

After Lu Bing ascended the throne, sure enough, a minister built an amnesty for the world, but Lu Bing vetoed it. Not only are there those who are wronged in prison, yes, maybe there is indeed such a situation, but there are also some people who steal chickens and dogs, and some people who are heinous, the officials of the Ming Dynasty are not all stupid, there are always good officials and clean officials, so many of the criminals sentenced are also real criminals. If they are released, they are afraid that the world will be in chaos, so after each amnesty, there will be some turmoil.

So Lu Bing first revised their criminal law and sentence in accordance with his new national law, and at the same time specially sent Jinyi guards to review in various places, if it is a literary prison or wronged, then you can be released from prison and get amnesty, if you don't deserve to go to jail, you have to go to jail, and if you should be killed, you have to be killed. In order to prevent power-for-money transactions, fake public and private things happen, such as giving money and being sentenced to not guilty. Therefore, Lu Ping still implements a reporting system and a joint sitting system for this matter, and once a mistake is discovered, the handling officials and criminals will be beheaded regardless of the size of the crime, and the person who reports it will be rewarded.

This allows the public to monitor, and when they find that their neighbors have committed crimes, they can report it if they are really guilty of crimes, and at the same time, the bitter master of the year will also keep an eye on the punishment of these criminals. As for those who feel that the punishment is unfair, they can file an appeal for a higher level of review, and Lu Bing is not too troublesome. Officials are the ones who do things for the people, and if they don't have a job, why should they be given a high salary to support them.

Lu Bing still has the idea of returning the government to the people, but this matter is still not ripe. But in order for them to adapt as soon as possible. So he began to let the 50 households living in the neighborhood form a company, and elect a representative of the people to deal with basic matters. As an impartial institution, the government reduces the number of disputes that can be handled, and the people themselves deal with them, which is referred to as autonomy.

At the same time, it also cultivated the good habit of the people's election, and the elected people are not full-time, but only part-time to assist 50 families on weekdays. As for what these people should do on weekdays, what do they do? The state only gives a small amount of allowance, but it always belongs to half of the public people, commonly known as land protection. It's because it's half a public person. The people are still quite active in participating in the election, and they are doing their best to do things for the people, hoping to be elected again next time, because land protection is not static. Elected every two years.

After the founding of the new state. The Tatars handed over a truce and accepted congratulatory gifts, and this time the Tatar tribes did not have any disputes, and everyone flattered Lu Bing. In this world, it is very normal to bow to the strong, whether it is a glorious golden family or not. And Xiliang is not to mention, and even the whole country celebrates, wishing the lord of the country Tuhongyi. Wulianghai's brother also became a treasure.

Similarly, many small countries in Nanyang also submitted a letter of surrender to Lu Bing after receiving the news. Claiming to be a vassal state of the new country, he paid tribute every year to the court. Among them, Lu Bing trampled on it back then. Then the reorganization of the state of Annam. Wolf Bing, Wei Yinbao and others also made a temporary truce, and everyone gave gifts to Lu Bingjin, because although Lu Bing was once their boss or enemy, it was also their own master, and now that Lu Bing has established himself as the emperor, there are no more such problems. Everyone is a person at the top of the power, so they can naturally see through this, and I heard that Lu Bing is an open-minded and enlightened monarch, once he defects to him, he may be able to live a good life. From top to bottom, everyone thinks so, the soldiers in Guangxi are tired of war, and the war has no need to fight.

However, the generals of all parties in Guangxi did not want to betray their relatives and leave, and besides, they were tired of fighting now, and the people were not able to survive and the economy was backward, so it was better to return to the new country first. If the situation is not right, and then rebel against the new country, anyway, it is in this situation now, even if the situation is rebelled again, how bad can it be?

Unexpectedly, there were two countries, one was Song, who had returned to Japan after evacuating the surrounding area of Yancheng, sent a congratulatory gift to Lu Bing, and wrote a letter of state, and the Zhao family was willing to be friends with the Lu family for generations, and there would never be a war. Lu Bing can only look at this as a joke, but he still respects the envoy on the surface. However, Zhao Jiahouhei was beyond Lu Bing's expectations, as if there was no ZĂ i in the previous war. This is really a terrible family, when Houhei reaches a certain level, it will be like a demon, and Lu Bing is even more determined to destroy Japan.

But Wu Si Zang ignored Lu Bing, Wu Si Zang was independent, and he neither ignored Lu Bing nor Lu Bing. Wu Sizang's attitude Lu Bing did not expect, because at the beginning of the incident, Wu Sizang helped Lu Bing and contained the Ming Dynasty's forces on the west side for Lu Bing. And the failure of the Bashu troops to go out of Sichuan to resist the enemy was also because of the containment of Wu Sizang. The friendship with Wu Si Zang began in the early years when he was looking for medicine, Lu Bing's toughness came from the Tianshan Mountains, and the Wu Si Zang officials heard about it a little, and at that time, Lu Bing had just left the Dragon Shadow General Yu Wei was still there, so he treated Lu Bing with great courtesy, and he also got acquainted with many important officials at that time. After experiencing the living Buddha and the blue race in the snowy region, the religious officials of Wusizang were even more impressed by Lu Bing. Later, Lu Bing took advantage of this impression and entered Wusizang with some officials who had nodded his head earlier, negotiated with Wusizang, and asked them to send troops to help.

Negotiation is a technical job, and it is said that Lu Bing's violent temper is not very suitable, but at that time, out of confidentiality considerations, and only Lu Bing knew those people, it was more suitable to go into the depths to negotiate, so Lu Bing won over twice and began a negotiation in which religious officials and local garrison commanders sat together. From ancient times to the present, most negotiations first ask you to come and go for a long time, and then start to talk about the conditions with each other, and then there is endless friction, which is nothing more than asking for a price to pay back. But as soon as Lu Bing said it, Wu Sizang promised to send troops to help, which surprised Lu Bing.

In fact, Wu Sizang's wishful thinking is very good, it is nothing more than taking advantage of the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty to become completely independent, and then take the opportunity to annex Bashu, Yungui and other places. As a result, I didn't expect that the soldiers of Bashu were very brave, although the Yungui Shen family was defeated, but the firearms invented by Lu Bing were made by the Shen family with the help of the Shen family, so even the fire guns were also equipped with a lot in the Shen family.

In the end, now Lu Bing has ascended to the great treasure, but Wu Sizang has nothing, there are still so many territories, and the old neighbor has become the emperor Zhu Houxi, who was originally loyal to him, and he holds a grudge against himself. This made the rulers of Uszang very unwilling, and they refused to be the adult of the new kingdom in an unbalanced way, and did not congratulate them on the national letter. They distorted that it was Lu Bing who deceived them. Everyone's perspective is different, and the same is true between countries, which is what makes us where we are today.

Seeing that there was no righteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period, the allied forces that seemed to be fighting iron separated at this time. However, this did not have any impact on the new country established by Lu Bing in the short term. (To be continued......)
