Chapter 136: Reward
Luoyang, inside the Taiji Palace.
"Xiahou Gong is already very old, in the future, you have to help him more and take over the errands in his hands, this training of the Chinese army cannot be interrupted, although there are no foreign enemies around now, but the Chinese army cannot lose its sharpness!"
Cao Chao said to Luo Xian, who was sitting next to him.
Luo Xian only felt a little outrageous, and his face was extremely complicated.
He was about to become the leader of the Chinese army in the Great Wei Capital.
If you mix it up again, I'm afraid you won't be in charge of the entire Chinese army?!
At this moment, Luo Xian can't even remember the purpose of his original visit to Luoyang, what did he come to Luoyang for? ?
Cao Chao said very seriously: "All things in the Chinese army, you must do your best!" ”
"Yui!!"
Luo Xian replied very resolutely.
Cao Chao reduced the armies in various places to a certain extent, retained the elite, and the rest of the military households were disbanded and returned home, and the harm of the world military system was vividly visible, and the Chinese army was also reduced from the exaggerated size of 200,000 elites to about 100,000.
The Chinese army in the Cao Pi period was almost like this, and later the Sima family began to go crazy and increase the size of the Chinese army because they were not worried about the generals in various places.
As a result, the local army was also riotous, causing the number of troops in the Great Wei to come to an extremely exaggerated level.
Maintaining such a large army is a huge burden on the treasury and is very unnecessary.
Too many standing armies will not be economical.
As for why Luo Xian can continue to be promoted, even this kind of core official position.
That's because of Luo Xian's background.
Luo Xian is not a northerner.
In order to suppress the local clans, Cao Chao could only use more outsiders, and the Shu and Wu people had no roots in the north and could be promoted.
Moreover, both of these have perished, and Wu Shang does not dare to say, at least in Shu, Wei's rule has a foundation, the people are living better than before, there are no frequent wars, most of them have arable land, there is no poll tax, and there are fewer and fewer rebels living and working in peace and contentment.
Even if there are big clans who take the lead in rebellion, there are almost no followers with them.
There are good days, and no one will miss the past.
Therefore, Cao Chao is also more inclined to use some Shu people, and there are not a few Shu people in the temple today, and there are also many Taishou from Shu in the local area.
These people are not in the same group as the northern clans, and Cao Chao can use them with confidence.
Xiahou Xian of the current Chinese army is very old, and there is no way to wear armor to visit the army, and now Cao Chao is placed on the left and right hands of the Chinese army.
They are Li Zhao and Luo Xian.
Li Zhao is Cao Chao's original guard captain, one of Cao Chao's absolute henchmen, he has fought everywhere over the years, made many contributions, worshiped the general, won the knighthood, and the other is Luo Xian.
In the future, the commander of the Chinese army, Cao Chao may find another reliable clan to serve as him.
Cao Chao is looking for Luo Xian this time, because someone has recently told him that some people have begun to run to the Chinese army and gild themselves, so Cao Chao hopes that Luo Xian can strengthen his training and not let the pests get close to the Chinese army.
Luo Xian repeatedly promised that he would strictly supervise the Chinese army's drills, and then left the Taiji Palace.
After he left, Zhang Hua walked in with the battle report from the northwest.
"Your Majesty, this is sent by Marlon."
What Ma Long sent was the fact that the tree function could defeat the thieves, and Cao Chao had no surprises about this.
As the biggest bandit leader in history, it's strange that the tree function can't defeat these people.
With the promotion of Ruan Ji and others, the second step of indoctrination has begun in various places.
Cao Chao's indoctrination was divided into three steps, the first step was to disperse them and allocate public land to settle them, and the second step was to change the surname to Yi Feng.
And the third step in the end, of course, is to encourage intermarriage.
After these three steps, these northern tribes are basically nothing, but this is not a one-and-done solution, let's just say that the previous Tuoba Department, after they were defeated, the tribes in the tribe fled, and some people ran to Ding Ling's side, and it is said that another battle has begun for the outside of the Saiwai.
Cao Chao felt that this might be the Rouran people who were going to appear in advance.
Historically, the Rouran tribe was separated from the Tuoba tribe of civil strife more than 40 years later, and began to attack the Hu people in extremely distant areas, and then gradually occupied the entire grassland.
And this time, Cao Chao hastened the demise of the Tuoba Tribe, and the civil strife occurred earlier than in history, and the separated tribes will continue to start the "chicken eating mode" outside the Saiwai, and the final winner will become a new force to fill the gap that there are no enemies outside the Great Wei Sai.
Maybe they won't be called Rouran anymore, but it's also an inevitability.
When the old forces fall, the new ones take his place.
Cao Chao doesn't care about these guys outside the Saiwai, what Cao Chao wants to solve at present is these people in the territory, as for the enemies outside the Saiwai in the future.
It doesn't matter, Yanghu will make a move!
"Send it to the Ministry of War, and let them reward them according to their military merits."
"Yui."
Zhang Hua sent the war report to the attendants on the side and asked him to send it.
He stayed by Cao Chao's side.

"Your Majesty, it's been three days since the proton of Funan Kingdom arrived in Luoyang, I don't know when I will meet you?"
After Zhu Ying and the others went to Funan, they sent the prince back over there.
The efficiency is still quite high.
And for Funanguo, Cao Chao still has a lot of ideas.
He pondered for a moment, "Well, you can take him to the East Hall, and I'll be there later." ”
Zhang Hua came out with the order.
Although Funan is a small country, its navigation skills are still very good.
These people also established the country very early, in the early days it was a matriarchal society, with many queens, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, they began to pay tribute to the Central Plains, and now they have transformed into a real country.
Internally, they had ended the tribal system and formed the early rudiments of a centralized monarchy, in which the king could appoint officials to govern directly, but their officials were hereditary, so they could only be regarded as rudimentary.
They have many records of correspondence with Tianzhu and the Central Plains.
Especially with the Central Plains, the national strength of Funan is relatively strong in Southeast Asia, after all, it is the earliest recorded ancient country in the local area, but the gap with the Central Plains is still very large.
Cao Chao hoped that through their contact with Tianzhu, he could get in touch with Tianzhu from the sea.
This Tianzhu does not refer to Kushan, but refers to the Indian region in general, and the country of Funan should be the late Baicheng Dynasty.
During the Three Kingdoms period, the Indian side was also the two major powers of the north and the south leading the younger brothers to confront each other, with Kushan in the north and Baicheng in the south.
However, more than 40 years ago, Baicheng perished and scattered into small countries, and chaos began in the south.
Cao Chao didn't know much about the situation over there, so he could only learn about the situation through Funanguo.
In terms of attitude towards Funanguo, Cao Chao still thinks that this place is really good as a port
Of course, it is best to be able to actually control it, but in terms of the current internal system in Funan, if the Great Wei forcibly sends officials to govern, it will definitely cause opposition from top to bottom.
Because the other party still maintains a noble hereditary official, the Great Wei sent people to compete for power with the other party in the past.
Cao Chao ordered another person to come.
This person is naturally Lu Kang.
Lu Kang came directly to the West Hall.
Before he could say a few more words, Cao Chao motioned for him to follow him and took him directly to the East Hall.
Although Lu Kang is steady, in fact, he is not very old, he is younger than Zhong Hui!
Cao Chao's relationship with him is also getting closer and closer, and he has gone one step further from the traditional relationship between monarchs and ministers, the two are like friends, and in private, Cao Chao even calls Lu Kang by his name.
It is a humiliation for courtiers to call them by their first names.
But the emperor calls others by his name, which is the right way, but the emperor's direct call by his name is also divided into two situations, the first is to be extremely angry, to call him by his name in a reprimanding tone, and the other is to be close and gentle, which can better show the closeness of the monarch and the minister.
Lu Kangshang didn't know why the emperor suddenly summoned him, but when he saw that Cao Chao didn't speak, he didn't ask, just followed behind Cao Chao, and the two walked into the east hall one after the other.
"Chen Fan has to meet Your Majesty!!"
Fan De is Fan Xun's son and his successor, but this heir is slightly older.
He is much older than Lu Kang and Cao Chao.
Cao Chao smiled and opened his mouth, "Let's get up." ”
Fan De is dark-skinned and short-stated, but his face is somewhat shrewd.
Under Cao Chao's gaze, a smirk naturally appeared on his face.
Cao Chao sat on the top seat and said to Fan De with a smile: "I heard that in the Later Han Dynasty, you also made tributes to the court, and since you are a country that knows etiquette, why do you want to pay tribute to Eastern Wu?" ”
Fan De was stunned for a moment, this emperor looked smiling, but why did he open his mouth but it was a little difficult?
He hurriedly explained: "It's because I've been away from the Central Plains for too long, and I don't know that the artifact is easier."
Cao Chao nodded, agreeing with his statement.
He asked again: "Since the king of Funan has accepted the seal of the king of my Great Wei, I don't know how many people should be sent to send him to the seal to open the mansion?" ”
Vander was silent again.
It is not the most important thing to send the seal, the important thing is to open the house.
The opening of the government is a reward, a privilege given to the ministers, and the opening of the government is to be able to form their own team and legally have their own courtiers.
Therefore, in the Zen concession package, the first package is to open the government first, if you don't even have your own direct ministers, how can you usurp the throne?
Now Cao Chao said that he wanted to reward Fan Xun and open a mansion for him, but the question is, Fan Xun was originally the local king, does he need to open a mansion?
Cao Chao obviously sent people to act as Fan Xun's staff and ministers on the pretext of opening the mansion, so as to interfere in local affairs and strengthen his control over Funan.
How many people are sent to Kaifu is not even whether to open the mansion or not.
This also shows the attitude of the emperor.
Lu Kang narrowed his eyes, lowered his head, and said nothing.
Fan De was already panicking.
