These special environments in the early years gave the Legion Estate of "Romania" a unique cultural atmosphere.

For example, the senior hundred households have a say in the affairs of the legion.

The military theory of the Purple Horde holds that the state of a soldier has a great impact on the performance of combat effectiveness. It is normal for elite soldiers to not have enough food for a few days, and to be dragged to death by the militia on the opposite side who has just eaten and drunk. The Art of War says that many victories are decided before the war, and whoever can maintain the best combat effectiveness will have a fairly high probability of victory.

Therefore, before the war, these hundred households need to give feedback on the physical strength, morale and other mental states of the soldiers, and at the same time are responsible for conveying the opinions of the corps command to encourage the soldiers to respond.

The chief of the legion, Baihu, was theoretically the general's permanent staff, and collecting these opinions was his daily job. Similarly, the distribution of the spoils of war after the war, and the distribution of bereavement benefits, are also very important processes that require the intervention of these people.

The control of the army by various families is often through this link.

Theoretically, today's Purple Horde Marquis does not have a hereditary official position, only ancestral honorary titles. Their real power comes from the support of the corps. And sending children to local areas and serving as hundreds of households is an important way to exercise ability and obtain qualifications.

Generally speaking, when a family is about to nominate a newcomer, it will first greet its supporters.

They don't have fiefdoms in the strict sense of the word, only a rough "high-influence area", generally where the previous generation has been in office for a long time. The fathers and brothers would pick a hundred households with relatively high combat effectiveness and let him be the chief, and then send a few cronies and veterans to assist him; Or send him to a higher level of military government, starting from his own family and the adjutant of the generals, and then become the head of a hundred households after he is familiar with the environment.

These selected units can get additional help from the princes, get better chances and more loot, so everyone is generally not too resistant to the "airborne" commander. With these supports, the children of the marquis can also obtain military exploits faster and accumulate prestige, which can be regarded as a tacit understanding between the two sides.

Of course, there are times when things don't go your way. The ability to command war sometimes really depends on talent. It's really not good to be at a level like Stan, so that everyone can't stand it, in fact, it's not an exception.

If you encounter such a job, you can only either go to a civilian job and get a job; Or make an exchange with another family and transfer to other areas - the Purple Horde fights every day, and people will really die. Rather than taking everyone to die together, it is better to retreat early.

Therefore, the sphere of influence of each noble family changes frequently, and sometimes it will even suddenly jump from one end of the empire to the other. Only the old princes who founded the country still have the ability and prestige to maintain a relatively stable range. And even then, expansion and contraction are common things.

Therefore, this experience of being a hundred households, and the reliable team cultivated in the process of promotion, is one of the most important assets of the princes. After many people were promoted, they changed their uniforms and seals, but they still carried the rattan canes of hundreds of households every day to show their resumes, indicating that they were cut from the grassroots with real knives and guns, and at the same time they also got closer to the soldiers.

Guo Kang has this thing at home, and he often sees it when he goes to Li Xuanying's house - when Li Xuanying was a child, he was often smoked by his father with this thing.

On the other hand, these people have also brought the cultural atmosphere of the grassroots hundred households to the top.

For example, accusations of "disregard for discipline", "proximity to the enemy", and "breach of unity" may be a moral problem elsewhere, but in the Legion estate, they are a serious crime.

At that time, such prisoners were whipped by hundreds of households, or imprisoned awaiting trial.

At that time, there was no strict distinction between military and civil law, and the Khan's court would regularly send high-ranking magistrates to patrol the localities and review serious crimes. Citizens who have committed extremely serious crimes need to be tried by a magistrate, and the rest of the manor and the hundreds of nearby households will be invited to attend.

At that time, the Purple Horde carried out a very simple and simple way of adjudication: if it was an ordinary crime, then the manor where the prisoner was located, plus the eight manors in the surrounding circle, a total of nine hundred households, would form a committee; If it was a wartime crime, it consisted of ten hundred households in the brigade. If there are no objections from the judges, six or more people will be convicted, otherwise they will be reported to the Khan's court for further trial.

The magistrate would stick the scepter in the clearing, and the hundred families would drag the criminal under the scepter, take up his cane, and beat him together to show that the legion would spurn him. After the beating, the executioner beheaded the prisoner with the magistrate's sword and hung it in front of the manor or barracks.

Because of the heavy insult, the head of the hundred households to which he belonged often couldn't stand it, and there were not a few who resigned afterwards. In many cases, the magistrate also preferred to issue sentences of deprivation of citizenship and expulsion from the estate in lieu of the death penalty – which, in any case, is not very different from the death penalty in such a place.

Later, with the gradual maturity of the management body, the judiciary of the Purple Horde was gradually improved. There are special courts in various places, and there is no need for such a quaint way.

The power of the hundred households is also declining. Due to the increasing number of functions, it is basically impossible for one person to take on them, so today's hundred households are often just a village chief and military chief.

His judicial power was divided between the higher courts, and he could only arrest and deport prisoners temporarily; Educating villagers to read and write, popularizing planting techniques, and even examining accounts and checking acres of land have also become the work of full-time "manor teachers"; The 100 associate households are also becoming more and more formalized and permanent.

Of course, many traditions can still be seen. Even the teachers of the manor, who liked to call themselves "civil servants", had to collectively write to the Khan's court every year, asking them to also carry vine canes. Its influence is evident.

Guo Kang feels that these traditions do make the high-level of the purple tent generally more simple, and the overall atmosphere is indeed not bad. However, many people also retain the thinking of many middle- and lower-level officers of this era, which seems too ...... It's rustic. When you encounter some situations, you will suffer a lot.

But in any case, the impact of the 100-household system on the purple tent is indeed very far-reaching.

In fact, after the high-level provinces and the hundreds of households at the grassroots level roughly figured out a set of operation methods, the Purple Horde began to fill in the intermediate links.

The reason for this is also very simple, simply because the khanate has become bigger. The manories under the direct jurisdiction of 100 households under the Wei are becoming more and more unmanageable. As a result, when Li Tiance arrived at the time of Li Yinglin, he began to set up military offices below the Wei and let them manage hundreds of households in various places.
