At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Such a large-scale plowing policy has also become an important means for the Wei Empire to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army in the post-war era——

After the end of the nine-year large-scale anti-insurgency war in Yande, the imperial power reached its peak unprecedentedly, and the Wei Empire truly entered a state of invincibility in the world.

In the foreseeable future, the Wei Empire and the Wei Army could not find any opponent that could pose a threat.

In such a state, Emperor Guo Peng issued the final disarmament order.

This time, the Wei Empire launched the final disarmament action from the four directions of the Northwest Front Army, Southwest Front Army, Southeast Front Army, and Northeast Front Army.

In the end, 320 nine people from the army were abolished, and 30 elite soldiers and 3 people from the navy were retained.

The 320 nine soldiers who were laid off were all scattered to the localities, and entered Yunzhou, Jiaozhou, Pingzhou, Mozhou, and the Western Regions to serve as local grassroots officials and military instructors, and established the grassroots regime of the Wei Empire. The cornerstone of the Wei Empire's local rule.

The last 33 selected from the elite, the elite of the elite who have survived the 20-year war, will become the military cornerstone of the huge Wei Empire.

Originally, Guo Peng planned to keep only 20, but later he saw that the country's territory was expanding too much and 20 seeds were not enough, so he gritted his teeth and kept 30 for the army and [-] for the navy.

After a wave of disarmament, Guo Peng had money and things in his hands, and he refined the last 33 Wei army elites at the level of an officer, and used them to build the skeleton and spirit of the Wei army.

Later, with the implementation and implementation of the extensive compulsory military system in the local area, wave after wave of young people were recruited into the army, forming the flesh and blood of the Wei army.

Except for the 33 elite guards stationed in the central Gyeonggi area, the 18 Wei army elites are all distributed in various places.

The original Daying system was completely canceled and replaced with a new Daying system.

Mozhou set up the Langju Xushan camp, stationed with [-] cavalry. Xiahou Dun's garrison and the administrative center of Mozhou are located here, sitting in the northern border.

Pingzhou built Changchun City in the old place of Fuyu Kingdom. Pingzhou Governor's Mansion was set up here, and Changchun Camp was also set up here. The army was here, and [-] cavalry were stationed here.

Yunzhou set up Yongchang Camp, and [-] troops were stationed in Yongchang Camp.

Jiaozhi County in Jiaozhou set up the Jiaozhi Camp, with a garrison of [-] troops, guarding the south gate.

The three Protectorates of the Western Regions, Beiting, Annan, Zhenxi, Beiting and Annan each set up a large camp with [-] troops, and the Zhenxi Protectorate set up a large camp with [-] troops.

The navy has set up five major naval bases in North Korea, Qingzhou, Yangzhou, Jiaozhou and Taiwan Island, where some naval ships and soldiers are stationed respectively.

The remaining [-] elites were widely distributed in various strategic locations in the interior, important mining areas, important granary areas, key points of the Grand Canal, etc., instead of using the big battalion as the establishment.

After Guo Peng's big disarmament, the Wei army was also updated.

Following the precedent of the Warring States period, the [Army] was designated as the highest tactical unit. An army had [-] combat troops under its jurisdiction, and the commanders of the army-level units were all generals.

There are [divisions] under the army. Generally, an army has two divisions, each with [-] combat troops.

The division is the battalion, one division governs five battalions, and one battalion is a combat force of 500 people.

There are also teams under the battalion, one battalion governs five teams, and one team is a combat force of 100 people.

In this way, norms were formed, and the slightly chaotic and incomplete military hierarchy in the early and total war period was thoroughly standardized, broken up, reorganized, and a major reorganization of the military was carried out.

This reorganization was carried out in the tenth year of Yande, marking the entry of Wei Jun into a new era.

Chapter 1355 One thousand two hundred and sixty five Taishi Cibing entered Jiaozhou

After the opening of the new era, Guo Peng learned from and improved the military service system of the Western Han Dynasty in full swing.

The empire began to recruit soldiers from all family units across the country, requiring them to perform military service. Recruits in units of [-] entered military training camps in various places to conduct regular army training that was more professional than militia training.

And Mozhou and Pingzhou often become training grounds for imperial recruits due to special circumstances.

Recruits are often sent to Mozhou and Pingzhou in large numbers to implement the policy of sweeping caves in the courtyard, searching for local tribes all over the world, killing them when they see them, blood, no nonsense.

In the past, it was Mozhou and Pingzhou. Now Jiaozhou is about to be brought under central control. There are also a large number of local indigenous barbarians in Jiaozhou. It is impossible not to see blood in the process of developing Jiaozhou.

So Imperial recruits will have a whole new training ground again.

Combining military training with the national defense needs of the Little Ice Age, implementing the policy of plowing the courts and sweeping holes, and indirectly reducing the burden on the future northern border defense is one of the few things that Guo feels he can do.

The Liting Sweeping Caves in the north and the construction of the Grand Canal in the Jiangnan and Jiangbei regions are both external and internal, and neither can do without the other.

After making so many arrangements,

Scary little glacier.

Guo Peng paid close attention to the Grand Canal project and devoted most of his energy and resources to the Grand Canal project.

On the other hand, after receiving the emperor's order to send troops, Tai Shici, who was stationed in Qingzhou, immediately coordinated with Xin Ping, the current governor of Qingzhou.

A series of tasks such as logistics were completed in a short period of time, and then 1 people from the Qingzhou Navy and [-] sea ships went south.

The navy's goal was to arrive near the mouth of Dongye County in Jian'an County, Yangzhou, bring Zhang Liao's [-] elite soldiers who were familiar with the warm and humid climate in the south of the Yangtze River, and then continue southward to land on the Jiaozhou coastline.

Since Guo Peng established the country for several years, the construction of the Qingzhou Navy has never stopped.

From the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China in the battle to eliminate the Jiangdong regime, the navy first showed its edge, to the battle when the navy crossed the Bohai Sea and reached the Korean Peninsula when the Liaodong regime was wiped out, and then to the navy crossing the strait and arriving on Taiwan Island to establish rule a few years ago. credit.

Tai Shici relied on his achievements in many battles to successfully promote his military rank to the rank of General Wei, leading the weak navy in the entire Wei army sequence to feel proud.

In the Wei army, the infantry and horse troops are evenly matched, and the navy has only 3 people, which is the smallest number.

Moreover, when there is no battle, the main tasks are fishing and transshipment of food and materials from north to south, etc., and they are jokingly called sea folk husbands by the infantry and horse troops.

Of course, Tai Shici was very upset. He was often appointed as a general of the sea, and his authority was greater than that of many generals of the infantry and horse army. It was really uncomfortable to be looked down upon like this.

However, there are indeed not many occasions where the navy can play its role these days.

There are no threatening maritime opponents. If you want a threatening maritime opponent, that is more than 1000 years later. In this era, Guo's navy can only become a threat to others.

But to become a threat to others, you have to find a new continent where people live. Only then can you become a threat. Before, in addition to daily exercises, the navy had the most tasks of transshipment from north to south.

There is a lack of food in Liaodong, horses in the south of the Yangtze River, people in some places, and money in some places. Shipping by sea is more convenient and quicker.

In this way, Jiangnan and Liaodong are communicated together by various sea ships, crossing spatial boundaries and achieving interconnection.

A few years ago, Tai Shici and Zhang Liao teamed up again to cross the Taiwan Strait and landed on Taiwan Island. They were ordered to develop Taiwan Island and establish rule on Taiwan Island.

Tai Shici and Zhang Liao led thousands of people to land on Taiwan Island, and then explored around the island.

They found a lot of indigenous people and found the best port on Taiwan Island. After that, they went to the emperor, saying that they had explored this big island, asked the emperor to name it, and ordered them what to do afterwards.

Guo Peng was very happy when he learned about it, and decided to let them set up a naval base at the place where they landed and stay here permanently, and named the big island Yizhou Island.

Anyway, what Guo Peng says is what he says, and the army will definitely follow his goals.

After that, Guo Peng ordered the establishment of a county at the port to establish a rule, and named the county Taiwan County, and stationed the county magistrate.

As for how the county should develop.

Of course, relying on some special products of Taiwan Island itself to do business with Dongye County.

So let’s not say it, this is also a small business route. After it was developed, many maritime merchants chose to settle in Dongye County or Taiwan County to operate across the Taiwan Strait, engage in business exchanges, and sell some local specialties on the island of Taiwan. It is sold to Dongye County or the prosperous area in the north of Yangzhou.

Half of the credit for this pioneering work was recorded in Tai Shici's head, and Tai Shici benefited a lot, but this kind of credit did not satisfy Tai Shici as a soldier.

This time, Guo Peng chose to take the sea route to attack those ignorant bastards in Jiaozhou, giving Tai Shici a chance to show off his prestige.

Before dealing with Sanhan on the Korean peninsula, Tai Shici was not satisfied with the feeling of abusing food. He hoped that these "savages" in these wild places could be more aggressive, not to collapse at the first touch, and give him a little challenge.

But Tai Shici's idea is doomed to be unrealized.

Because whether it is now or for a long time to come, the biggest enemy of the Central Plains imperial army is not these southern "barbarians", but the humid and hot climate and bad traffic in the south of the Yangtze River.

At this time, it was the end of July in the tenth year of Yande.

When Tai Shici's navy marched, Guo Peng also delivered an edict to Jiaozhou, denouncing Jiaozhou Mu Zhangjin, Jiaozhi prefect Shi Xie and several other prefects and county magistrates, saying that they were all bastards who messed around and made the central government Treating orders as nothing, this is completely rebellious!

The soldiers of the Son of Heaven are coming soon, if you want to survive, you should stop the soldiers immediately, capture them without a fight, and let them deal with you. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!

It's an ultimatum, let them be caught obediently, those who know the current affairs can survive, those who don't know the current affairs, everything will be hard to say.

Zhang Jin who got the news was frightened and angry at the same time, all kinds of emotions were intertwined in his chest, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell down with a pale complexion.

The gate of Wanghai County was wide open, Zhang Jin was half dead, and all the remaining Jiaozhou people looked at Shi Xie nervously, hoping that Shi Xie could give them an idea to tide over this difficulty.

Some people advocate resisting the central government and letting the central government know how powerful they are.

There are also people who advocate a compromise. As long as the requirements of the central government are met, they cannot live here for a long time.

Shi Xie was very annoyed and scolded the younger brothers who presided over the military operation.

Then this group of stupid brothers knew how their behavior touched the emperor's bottom line, so that the emperor decided to send troops to Jiaozhou to calm the situation.

"Do you think I was caught by Zhang Jin because I underestimated Zhang Jin's determination? I was showing weakness! Showing weakness! Do you know what it means to show weakness? The Jiaozhou scholar family is already very powerful. Seven counties, four All the counties are under the domination of the scholars!

Wouldn't the imperial court know about this kind of thing?Before the emperor ordered me to be the governor of Jiaozhou, I felt that something was wrong. The emperor may be testing me to see if I have further determination before deciding whether to send troops to Jiaozhou!

I strongly refuse to become the governor of Jiaozhou, I will not do it, I firmly support the governor of Jiaozhou sent by the imperial court, and I was caught by Zhang Jin after Zhang Jin went crazy, just to let the emperor see that the Shi family is not that powerful!What now?The background of the scholar family has been fully exposed!

Are you all blind?Don't you know what happened to the great rebellion last year?The emperor wants to clear the land, clear the land!He hates tyrants who occupy a large amount of land the most, isn't that the case with our Shi family? "

Shi Xie was very annoyed, and the three younger brothers were stunned by his venting.

They really didn't expect this.

So things are like this?

The emperor is too...

Too heartless, right?

They thought so.

"The emperor must have an eyeliner in Jiaozhou. It may be in the light, it may be in the dark, or it may be both, but the power of the scholars has never been exposed. I have repeatedly ordered you not to use troops. You can only protect yourself. Bao! Is this your self-protection?"

Shi Xie was extremely angry, spitting stars flew around, and the family members of the scholars were dumbfounded, some had a bad complexion, and some felt like they were starting to wipe their tears.

"Then, what to do?"

Someone asked the question on everyone's mind.

Chapter 1356 One thousand two hundred and sixty soldiers feel very aggrieved

Things have come to this point, there are still people asking themselves what to do.

In this regard, Shi Xie really wanted to tie up these people and hand them over to the emperor.

But he couldn't do it.

After all, they are of the same race, blood is thicker than water.

But to vent is to vent.

"What else can I do? What else can you say? The soldiers of the emperor are coming! The soldiers of the emperor who are invincible in the world are coming! What if they want to clear the land, what will you do? What about the scholars? What should I do? You ask me, what else can I do?!"

Shi Xie stomped his feet so hard that his feet became numb, and he felt bad all over.

As a result, the atmosphere of the entire meeting fell into a dead silence.

After a long time, Shi Xie sighed and shook his head.

"Go back to your respective commanderies. When you meet the soldiers of the Son of Heaven, open the city to welcome the soldiers of the Son of Heaven. Don't resist, don't do it wrong. You have to eat the pot of milk to welcome the king's army. If this is the case, the soldiers of the Son of Heaven will not Kill you, and your lives can be saved."

The scholar family was very surprised.

"Then... what about the family business? What if you still have to ask about crimes after the emperor? Don't you resist at all?"

Shi Xie's younger brother Shi Wu asked.

Shi Xie glanced at Shi Wu.

"Do you want to die or live?"

"Naturally wants to live."

"Then do as I said, maybe the scholar's family property can be preserved to the maximum extent, as for the others, don't even think about it, the emperor has already mobilized troops.

This matter will not end so easily. Fortunately, Zhang Jin is not dead yet. If we can hold out until the people from the court come, Zhang Jin can help us cover a lot of crimes. We must save Zhang Jin's life. "

Shi Xie made up his mind that he would surrender to Guo Peng again in a gesture of surrender, not to resist, and not to give him an excuse to kill.

In this way, at least the lives and part of the property of the scholar's family can be preserved, and Guo Peng will not be allowed to deal with the other scholars' family like those tyrants.

The scholar family felt desperate and surprised by this, as well as helpless.

Now that Shi Xie had spoken, they had no other choice but to follow suit.
