Wang Xu's letter was quickly sent to the capital through ingots, and then to the emperor through Xue Mushan, a teacher in the cabinet.

It's just different from Wang Xu's thoughts, his request to the emperor was approved, but the training of troops in Tuntian was not only carried out in Jiaozhou, but in three states and three places.

The Emperor of Great Wu requested that three new armies be formed and trained, namely the Jiaozhou soldiers in Jiaozhou, the Jingzhou soldiers in Jingzhou, and the Central Army in Beijing.

The selection, tuntian, and training of Jiaozhou soldiers can be handed over to Wang Xu for a period of three years, with a ceiling of 500,000 yuan.

The Jingzhou soldiers and the central army had to be handed over to others to do it, and Wang Xu was also asked to offer three crops and hand over the cultivation method to the household department.

Wang Xu thought about it for a while, a White Lotus Rebellion hoarded two million elite soldiers in the Jiangnan camp, and 500,000 troops in the battle to conquer the south was definitely not enough.

It seems that the emperor is deliberately dispersing the military power, and the Jingzhou soldiers are estimated to have trained 500,000 soldiers, and the total number of Jiaozhou soldiers is one million.

As for the Central Army, with the word "central" in its name, the scale must be the largest, between 1 million and 1.5 million.

The combination of the three armies, an army of 2.5 million troops, plus some auxiliaries responsible for miscellaneous work, is enough to fight with the barbarians.

Wang Xu figured out the key here, of course he wouldn't say anything.

Well used, 500,000 troops, already in full use.

War is not a fight between two people, and the barbarians are mainly in the form of tribes, with large tribes having only two or three hundred thousand armored soldiers, and small tribes having less than a thousand people who can fight.

As long as the early stage is majestic, do you still need to worry about the follow-up reinforcements?

500,000 is enough for the time being, and no matter how much the emperor is, I am afraid that he will not be at ease to hand it over to him.

Ten days later, a holy decree came from the capital, appointing Wang Xu as the prefect of Ishikawa Prefecture in Jiaozhou, the official position of the fifth grade, and the governor of the new army of the fourth grade.

Ishikawa Prefecture is the closest prefecture and county in Jiaozhou to the barbarians, and this place is an important town for defending against the barbarians.

Coupled with the open border trading market, the imperial court transferred him here at once, obviously before Wang Xu wrote a book to pacify the barbarians, he had considered how to use troops against the barbarians.

As for the official position of Zheng Wupin, there should be little controversy in the imperial court.

He was the champion of Tianping for 24 years, and if he hadn't resigned and returned to his hometown to open a college, he would have been able to start with six products.

According to the practice of Beijing officials being released and directly mentioning the first grade, coupled with his Confucian status, the fifth grade official is also due.

And the governor of the four grades, sorry, the Great Wu Dynasty respects the text, not to mention the governor of the four grades, that is, the general of the second and third grades, and it is nothing in the eyes of the elders.

Wang Xu's teacher is a cabinet selector, and he is the boss who sits in the third position among the civil and military ministers, and he still has this face.

Taken together, the rewards and additions of the imperial court should be considered decent.

No matter how low the official position is, it will be difficult to check and balance one government, and if one government is co-ordinated, the formation and training of the new army will be tied.

No matter how high it is, it is impossible, although Wang Xu's grade is still there, but after he resigned and returned to his hometown to run a school, it was equivalent to staying in office and going to sea in the early stage of reform.

If he wasn't the initiator of the Ping Barbarian Policy and offered three high-yield crops, I'm afraid that he would have to start from the compilation of the Liupin Hanlin Academy when he came back, and it would be impossible to directly release the prefect and take charge of the army.

"It's okay, after I train the new army, the grade should be mentioned again, and then I can lead the army to recruit the south as a fourth-grade civilian officer and a third-rank military attaché, and I can also be a marshal all the way. Although it is a little new to my plan, it is not much different, after all, I am not from the imperial party, the marshal of the East and West Second Road can do it, and if you want to take charge of the three armies and become the main general, the emperor will not rest assured. ”

Wang Xu's original intention was for him to train the army, and then wave the army to the south as the main general.

When the three armies were built today, and the titles were Jiaozhou soldiers on the left, Jingzhou soldiers on the right, and the Central Army on the middle road, I knew at a glance that I didn't want the military power to fall into the hands of one person.

In this way, the Jiaozhou soldiers, who are in charge of the best mountain warfare, are indeed more suitable than the right and central armies.

If he is sent to Jingzhou with a pole, he will want to cry without tears, Jingzhou soldiers are good at water warfare, transporting supplies, blocking the southern Xinjiang river is okay, but it is a little worse to break the city and pull out the village.

On another three days, Wang Xu packed his bags, set off from Ziyang Academy, and headed south to Ishikawa Mansion.

Ishikawa Prefecture...

"The foundation is not bad!"

Wang Xu stepped on the flying geese and looked at the Ishikawa Mansion from top to bottom.

Because of the proximity of Ishikawa Mansion to the land of the Southern Barbarians, the White Lotus Sect also knew the severity, and the damage to this place was not serious.

Counting up, the followers of the White Lotus Sect in Ishikawa Prefecture should be the least among the prefectures in Jiaozhou, and the only fly in the ointment is that due to the White Lotus Uprising before, the border market in Ishikawa Prefecture was closed for a long time, and many merchants either moved away for refuge or fled north, revealing signs of decay everywhere.

Wang Xu was in charge of the Ishikawa Mansion, and his first task was to recall the previous merchants, use the economy to provoke the relationship between the barbarian cities, and use the merchants as scouts to explore the reality of the barbarian tribes.

In contrast, the training must be carried out secretly, otherwise the major barbarian tribes will see it, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be alerted in advance.

"Although the Ishikawa Mansion was the least damaged, it also lost a lot, resulting in difficulties for the people's livelihood, but the construction of this prefect's yamen is refreshing."

Entering the Ishikawa Mansion and standing in front of the prefect's yamen, Wang Xu shook his head secretly.

Sure enough, there are only poor people, not poor governments.

Even so, the walls of Ishikawa Prefecture were dilapidated and the people were struggling to make a living, but the prefect's yamen was still beautifully repaired, in stark contrast to the bones of the starved roadside.

"Stop, who's who?"

Seeing someone approaching, the officer who was guarding the prefect's gate walked up with a water and fire stick.

Wang Xu frowned slightly, looked at these errand servants, like a scoundrel, and said: "I am Wang Xu, the new prefect of Ishikawa Prefecture, this is my official seal and documents." After the check, I quickly went to ask the Tongzhi, the general judge, the main officer, the magistrate, the governor, the Xuezheng, the city Sima, and the officials of the six rooms, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers to come to see me. ”

The messenger took the documents and official seals and looked at them, and was so frightened that his legs and stomach cramped, and he nodded again and again: "Please, master, I'll go and call your lords." ”

Wang Xu stood with his hands in his hands and strode into the prefect's yamen.

After the entrance of the government is the front yard, and after the front yard is the prefect's lobby where the case is decided.

Wang Xu walked into the lobby, and what he saw was a plaque with a heart like a mirror, and under the plaque was a screen, in front of which were large chairs and long tables.

Wang Xu sat down on a chair and looked up at the lobby.

In the lobby, in the four corners of the southeast, northwest and northwest, there are four titles of majesty, quietness, for the people, and clean government.

In the position against the wall, there are also gongs, iron chains, wooden sticks, black sheath whips, gourds, tail guns, black fans, yellow umbrellas and other utensils.

Looking to the left and right, there is a small door on the left and right, the left side is connected to the fast capture room, and the right side is connected to the prefect's prison.

To the north is the screen, behind the screen is the back hall, through the officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, workers six rooms, as well as the prefect's back house.

Because the position where the prefect is sitting is much higher than the surroundings, even if Wang Xu is sitting, it is taller than the people below standing.

From the bottom up, you can only look up with your head up, so the prefect is also called the prefect, and you have to look up to see him.

Stomp Tread...

Not long after Wang Xu sat down, a group of officials came together.

Walking in front is the Ishikawa Prefecture Tongzhi, Tongzhi is the deputy of the prefect, for example, Wang Xu's Ishikawa Prefect is the fifth grade, and the Tongzhi is the sixth grade.

Tongzhi is generally selected from the county commander and the county lieutenant.

The county magistrate and the county lieutenant take the exam every three years, and those who have excellent results in the assessment will be promoted to one level twice with excellent results, and theoretically the seven-grade county order will be promoted to the sixth-grade after six years.

Here, there are two places to go in the county, one is not very old and has hope of promotion, and can be promoted from the lower county to the upper county.

The lower county order is generally eight products and seven subordinate products, the middle county order is from the seventh product to the sixth product, and the upper county order is six products.

And some grades are relatively large and are not suitable for promotion, but they have excellent grades, they can be transferred to the prefecture and county to act as a fellow governor and be the second in command for the prefect.

After the same knowledge, it was from the general judgment of the six products, and the general judgment was in charge of grain transportation, post stations, water conservancy, litigation, and prison, and it was the direct boss who caught the fast and the errand servants, and had the responsibility of supervising the chief.

Standing next to the general judgment is the same from the six products of the main Bo, the main Bo is in charge of money, grain, commerce, and agriculture, belongs to the prefect's chief steward, in charge of the granary and the treasury.

From then on, the magistrate was responsible for evaluating the officials below, the governor was the person responsible for the specific implementation, the Xuezheng was the supervisor of the prefecture and county, and the city Sima was in charge of the city guard.

The warden of the six rooms of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, this is an official, not an official, and it sounds like a model for the six departments, but in fact they are high-ranking officials and low-level officials, and they are all petty officials who are not in the stream.

However, no one dares to underestimate them, the iron-beaten warden of the flowing water of the county, this is not just talking.

These wardens, their ancestors have been working in the yamen for generations, and the people below are all their people, without the cooperation of these people, no matter whether you are the prefect or the county, the government decree will not be able to go out of the yamen.

Of course, unless the prefect and the prefect go too far, these people won't work against you.

The county order that broke the family, the government that destroyed the door, these words are not a joke, there is a righteous name, and the governor of the government department will not be easily set aside by the people below.

Unless the other party really doesn't want to mix, otherwise if you go against your boss, you will be the one who suffers after all.
