Chapter 979: On Meritorious Deeds and Rewards (Part II)
For Twilight Tya's approach, the arrogant Rui Yaqin was once very resentful, the previous Yanwei clan was not as strong as the Bojiang clan at all, and it was only because the other party's position changed quickly enough that it had today's preferential treatment.
But after all, the other party is due to the Starlight Empire, even if she is dissatisfied, she is helpless! Now the initiative is in the hands of Yun Haoyu, if you want to seek more benefits for the clan, you have to ask him for mercy!
Could it be that she wants to be like her, to invite His Majesty the Emperor to be petted and laughed, and to be resigned?
All right! Even if you can disregard your identity and give up this body to please him, but with the first example in front, can you achieve the same effect if you have the same example? Her Majesty the former Empress has no bottom in her heart.
Twiltia has a preconceived advantage, what does she have?
"It's not too early, the concubine will accompany Your Majesty back to rest, right?" Twiltia said in a coquettish voice, holding him.
Yun Haoyu nodded, smiled and said to Rui Yaqin, who was frowning: "The army will set off tomorrow, do what you want to do, I don't know when I will come back next time!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" She replied sullenly.
Twilight Tia glanced at her meaningfully, and took Yun Haoyu's arm and walked away.
……
In early February of the 7,945th year of the interstellar calendar, the imperial army finally returned to the imperial capital of Tianhua, and the queen went to greet the concubines and civil and military ministers who stayed behind, and at the same time held a grand military parade and celebration!
The empire has expanded all the way to the present, and finally conquered the enemies in the known star sea world one by one, at least for the foreseeable time, and will not encounter enough opponents to wrestle with the empire! Except, of course, the Starry Sky Demon Clan.
Since this terrible opponent will not invade the Star Sea World for the time being, the Empire's war machine can completely stop and recuperate, and anyway, when facing the Helling Wind Clan in the future, the role of the regular legion is limited. Only those targeted special equipment can effectively deal with such a strange enemy!
In the magnificent and majestic Juntian Palace, Yun Haoyu stood high on the emperor's throne, and his bright and divine eyes indifferently looked at the hall below, today's court meeting, more courtiers than ever before! In addition to the high-ranking officials in the imperial capital, almost all the military and political officials from all over the empire also rushed back to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime event!
This is indeed a critical moment enough to go down in history, since the human race has been divided and hostile to each other since it left the earth, and it has never been truly unified! Only today is the power of the entire human world completely concentrated and controlled by a single regime!
Standing on the jade steps, the Prime Minister of the Empire, Crassus, told His Majesty the Emperor and his ministers about the operation of the Imperial Cabinet during this time, and put forward his own opinions on behalf of the Cabinet on the work plan for the next stage of the Empire.
Thousands of courtiers sat quietly, any of these officials went out, they could be called big people calling for wind and rain outside, but in this central place of imperial power, they were all in order, their expressions were solemn, their eyes did not squint, and there was silence in the hall, only the clear and peaceful voice of the prime minister echoed:
“…… The new round of administrative division and sorting work of the empire has been completed, counting the three major galaxies of the Northwest Star Sea that have just been incorporated into the empire's territory, as well as the many surrounding resource star fields, the territory under the rule of the Starlight Empire now has a total of 39,664 natural star domains, which have been divided into 1,795 provinces after many deliberations by the cabinet......"
“…… Since the Empire's resettlement program was underway, the administrative establishment of more than 200 provinces was only in name, and it was only true that it could not be considered worthy of its name until all the immigrants were in place and all kinds of supporting personnel and materials were in place...... Of the remaining 1,500 or so provinces, only two-thirds have appointed governors and the corresponding administrative teams are in place, and the remaining provinces urgently need to appoint the chief officials, and this matter must be decided by His Majesty himself, and the ministers dare not be arbitrary! ”
“…… In addition, most of the candidates for the highest military commanders in the provincial military districts have been appointed, but the level of armed forces in each military region is uneven, some are the most elite fleets in the empire, and some are still the most backward models, and the distribution of equipment and various cultivation resources of the Alien Legion has not been fair and reasonable, so I implore Your Majesty to issue an edict on this matter as soon as possible to resolve it! ”
“…… As for the financial situation of the Empire, although the Empire's economic situation is good, and the financial revenue is extremely rich, due to the continuous expansion of the Empire's army, the monthly consumption is too staggering, so the minister proposes to reduce some of the outdated and low-powered regiments in order to save money......"
There are many problems in all aspects, and the prime minister can only choose the most important matters that must be dealt with immediately and report them, and then His Majesty the Emperor will make up his mind.
Yun Haoyu flipped through the chapters on the case, pondered for a moment, and then announced the handling measures one by one.
As for the shortage of administrative officials, he still intends to use Crassus's previous suggestion to fill the vacancies by hiring sufficient candidates from the private sector, leaving only a small number of posts to be reserved as a reward for meritorious courtiers.
Each province will set up a corresponding military region, but due to the chronological division, the earliest military region, whether it is a battleship or the equipment used by the Ability Legion, is already a relatively old model, this time naturally all have to be replaced, all the old warships must be disassembled and replaced, replaced with new warships of the Empire, and the Ability Legion must also be reequipped!
After discussing with the important ministers of the military department, Yun Haoyu finally made a decision and preliminarily determined the future composition of the empire's armed forces.
Depending on the region and the level of economic development, each provincial military district has a fleet ranging from 30,000 to 100,000 ships and a corresponding number of special legions to ensure regional stability and peace.
The establishment scale of the Empire's conventional armed forces is tentatively set at 500 main integrated legions and 11,000 abnormal legions. On top of the provincial military districts, the existing territory of the entire empire is divided into thirty-five major war zones, each of which is stationed with three to ten main integrated corps, as well as a corresponding number of special ability corps, which are responsible for strategic defense and offensive responsibilities in different directions, and are also in charge of foreign development tasks!
In addition to the five newly completed Death Star ships, the Empire currently has twenty-four such strategic killing weapons, of which fourteen will be deployed in the major strategic points of the Empire, and the remaining ten will defend the imperial capital, which still belongs to the establishment of the Imperial Praetorian Guard.
The size of the Imperial Praetorian Guard is one-tenth of the size of the conventional armed forces, and it is under the direct command of His Majesty the Emperor, and it is the elite of the elite in terms of the quality of soldiers and the level of equipment! Coupled with the "Chiyou", the biochemical mothership and the Yuangu mothership that has just arrived, it is enough to become a solid barrier to defend the imperial throne and safeguard the rights and interests of the royal family!
After discussing everything, Yun Haoyu immediately announced the most important thing, which was the reward for meritorious soldiers.
Yun Tianque took the golden edict from the female official and began to read them one by one.
Gu Longsi, Tian Xuanhao, Yang Wentao, Yu Xinzhe, Cameron, Su Shangqing, Li Xingyan, Hu Mu, Fu Chengxiang, Jerome and other ten people were crowned as cane-wielding marshals, and won the Marshal Scepter, the highest honor for soldiers, and at the same time became the first-class duke of the empire, hereditary replacement, and the fief was increased to fifteen star fields each, in addition to a large number of financial rewards!
Hou Yufeng, Guo Qiuxian, Blucher, Silver, Bernard and others were promoted to marshals, and their titles were promoted to second-class dukes, and they each received five star domains and a large amount of financial rewards.
The titles of Crassus, Meng Xuan, Yang Xue, Jin Yue, Tang Weiye, Zhao Zhixiong, Tian Song and others have all risen by one level, and they are all first- and second-class hereditary dukes, plus the important power in their hands, they have all become the top existence in the first group of imperial giants!
In addition, in view of Marshal Gurlons' high prestige among the Imperial Legions, Yun Haoyu originally planned to crown him as the county king, but only gave up due to his own strong opposition.
Fang Yuqing had already privately explained to Yun Haoyu the situation on the day of his abduction, and revealed Yan Mengbing's true identity, and asked to posthumously crown him as the queen and be buried with the emperor, and he readily agreed. It is said that if she hadn't stopped her desperately that day, those guys didn't know how much trouble they would have caused to the empire, even if it was for Fang Yuqing's sake, he would not be stingy with the name of a queen.
This can be said to be the last large-scale reward of the empire, as long as there is no large-scale war in the future, there will basically be no such a grand occasion.
Because the order of power in the empire has been basically perfected by now, it is unlikely that there will be any major changes! The situation of exceptional promotion and rising to the top will be greatly reduced! One of the most obvious differences is that from now on, the imperial knighthood will continue to follow the system of the previous dynasty, that is, "reduced hereditary", rather than "hereditary replacement and retirement with the country" as the founding fathers did.
This means that even if you have made enough contributions to be promoted to the first rank of the Duke of the Empire, in your next generation, you will be reduced to a marquis, decreasing from generation to generation, and you will become a commoner after five generations!
This is the system pursued by the major powers of the Star Sea at the beginning, if you don't do this, there will be more and more nobles in the empire, occupying a large amount of imperial power resources, and at the same time corrupt and degenerate, greedy for enjoyment, unwilling to forge ahead, and flying and domineering, thus endangering the vitality of the entire regime!
Therefore, such a system has become very necessary, so that the elite of the empire can maintain enough enterprising spirit and not slack off, and can also continuously replenish new blood for the upper class and complete the cycle of new and old!
The ministers were able to express their understanding of this, saying that in addition to the titles of the founding fathers who could ensure that the successes of the past dynasties would not change, even the knighthoods of the children of the royal family could not avoid this rule, so they naturally had nothing to say.
