In the past few days, there has been an endless stream of people who have come to visit the town and the country.

However, compared with ordinary officials, most of the people who came were generals in the army and people from the Eight Great Governments.

For the generals in the army, most of the people who can come to the Zhenguo Mansion to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year are people who belong to the Shangguan family.

These people are different from others, they mostly come empty-handed and return with a full load.

For generals in the army, the town and country mansion will never accept gifts, because of the source of income of the generals in the army.

As we all know, it comes from military salary, and a general in the army must be a rich man with a lot of money and a rich man.

If you don't have a deep family background, it must be the blood of the soldiers.

Successive Zhenguo dukes were extremely disgusted with the behavior of the generals in the army drinking the blood of soldiers.

Therefore, as the generals of the Shangguan faction, they were strictly drunk with the blood of the soldiers.

And once discovered, he will be directly expelled from the army, and he will be expelled from the army by the Shangguan family, which means that for a general, his life will be completely isolated from the army.

Considering that the military salary issued by the imperial court is limited after all, the Shangguan family ensures that the generals of their faction are not greedy to the greatest extent.

Every year, additional compensation was given to those generals, so that the generals had no reason to worry about the idea of paying the soldiers.

There are fewer generals in the army who drink the blood of soldiers, which effectively enhances the cohesion of officers and men in the army.

At the same time, it also made the generals of his own faction more united around him.

Of course, in order to do this, it must have sufficient financial support and sufficient prestige in the military.

Only in this way can the generals not dare to violate the rules they have set, and put an end to the behavior of generals at all levels secretly setting up a name and drinking the blood of soldiers.

Yucheng, as the capital of the Yu Dynasty, is naturally the focus of attention of all forces.

In order to ensure the security of Yucheng and stabilize the situation of all forces, the Yu Dynasty set up five directly subordinate legions of the imperial court at the beginning of the founding of the country.

The Central Army, the Northern Army, the Southern Army, the Northwest Army, and the Southeast Army, each of the five major corps had a terrifying 2 million troops.

Each of the five legions has its own terms of reference, and in the case of the Central Army, its duty is to garrison Yucheng.

Under no circumstances will the Central Army be transferred within a hundred miles of Yucheng.

The Central Legion was not organized according to the corps of two million people, and its number depended entirely on the will of the reigning emperor.

Because of the particularity of the Central Army, it completely belongs to the army directly under the emperor, and the generals at all levels in the army are promoted by the emperor himself.

Therefore, there is no limit to the number of people in the Central Army.

Therefore, the Central Army Corps is the largest number of the five major army corps, and the quality of soldiers is the best, as for the combat power, it is difficult to say.

Because, no matter who it is, Yucheng, as the capital of the Yu Dynasty, believes that no one will be stupid enough to make trouble here.

Although the number of the Central Army Corps is large, greatly exceeding the number of the other four major corps, the army that has not experienced the baptism of blood, no matter how strict the training is, no one can say what its combat strength will be.

As for the other four major corps, their responsibilities have been clarified according to their names.

Among the four major corps, the biggest responsibility of the Northern Army is to assist the Northern Shenhou Mansion to resist the Northern Captives who often go south in the Northern Frontier, so the Northern Army has long-term experience in fighting with the Northern Captives.

As a result, the combat strength of the Northern Army has always ranked first among the five major corps.

Because the main opponent of the Northern Army is the Northern Prisoners of Northern Xinjiang, the Northern Army is an all-cavalry unit.

The mobility is very strong, accounting for half of the total number of cavalry teams of the entire Dayu Dynasty.

At the same time, the elite of the Dayu cavalry troops, the Northern Army occupies about sixty percent.

The remaining forty percent, the North Shenhou Mansion accounted for two and a half of them, and the remaining one and a half were evenly distributed to the other Dayu troops.

The other three legions were more likely to quell local rebellions, when local garrisons could not effectively quell rebels within their borders.

The three legions will attack in time to quell the assembled forces of the rebels in various places.

The existence of the five legions is to maintain the rule of the Yu Dynasty, and every soldier is the elite of the elite.

It is completely on the same level as the soldiers of the Shangguan family, even if it is inferior, it will definitely not be bad.

Their existence, to the greatest extent, is not to quell the large-scale rebellions that occur from time to time in various places.

The biggest role of their existence is to shock the surrounding foreign clans and the rivers and lakes in the major martial arts.

The combat power of the soldiers is definitely a lingering nightmare for the major Jianghu sects.

At the beginning of the founding of the Yu Dynasty, the reason why it was able to destroy one powerful Jianghu sect after another was not by personal strength.

Rather, it was those tens of millions of warriors who fought a hundred battles, and in front of millions of iron-blooded soldiers, even the great masters of the Innate Realm had to retreat.

If the great grandmaster of the Innate Realm wants to resist the might of a million iron-blooded masters, the only way to end up is to hate on the spot.

Although there is no trace of the invisible power of the evil qi condensed by the iron-blooded master, it is truly able to affect the strength of the martial artist to a great extent.

Therefore, no matter how strong the Jianghu sect is, it will not be able to resist the attack of the formed soldiers.

After clearly realizing the power of the soldiers, the Jianghu sects would only secretly stumble on the imperial court, but they never dared to confront the imperial court head-on.

As long as the imperial court drove the army over, the forces of the rivers and lakes would often hesitate again and again to see if it was worth the risk of their own sect to destroy the sect.

For a long time, the imperial city of Dayu has guaranteed nearly 10 million soldiers for a long time, so as to stabilize the stability of the situation in the world.

Although the Shangguan family only nominally controlled the Northern Army among the five major legions, it was among the other four major legions.

Except for the Central Army, the forces of the Shangguan family could not penetrate or did not want to infiltrate.

The other three major legions, each legion has generals from the Shangguan faction.

Because except for the Central Army Corps and the Northern Army directly under the Shangguan family, the other three major legions have all had the experience of being led by the Zhenguo Gong of the past dynasties to pacify foreign clans or quell rebellions in various places.

The influence and influence left by the previous generation of Zhenguo Princes in the major legions will be passed on to the next Zhenguo Duke without reservation.

Although the generals in the army are not hereditary from generation to generation, there are still many people who inherit their father's business and climb up step by step with their own good ability.

This is naturally much easier than their parents, and they will continue the grace left by their fathers and continue to seek the protection of the Shangguan family.

In this way, the blessings left by the ancestors of the Shangguan family in the past generations, as long as the descendants are not stupid, can basically take them for their own use.

Over the past thousands of years, a huge military force has gradually formed, and it is with the strong support of these generals in the army that today's Shangguan family has been achieved.
