In order to save military expenditure, the Dayan Imperial Guards not only abolished the left and right Zhiwei and left Xinwei, but also reduced the left and right Renwei, left and right Yiwei and left and right liwei to four brigades, but the other sixteen inner guards were also restored to four brigades.

The fifteen outer guards of the Dayan Imperial Guard were reduced to three brigades, while the eighteen Imperial Guards of the Front Guards maintained the organization of four brigades without changing.

If the sixteen new outer guards and imperial guards were not included in Congzhou Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture, Xiangzhou Prefecture, and Guizhou Prefecture, the twenty-two inner guards of the Dayan Imperial Guards, the fifteen outer guards and the eighteen border guards, the total strength of the total force still exceeds 1.33 million. If the sixteen outer guards are included, the total strength of the Dayan Imperial Guards can almost reach 1.9 million.

Even if the sixteen newly formed outer guards of Congzhou Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture, Junzhou Prefecture, Xiangzhou Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture were removed, the remaining 1.33 million imperial guards were difficult for the Dayan court to support the remaining 1.33 million imperial guards, but the Thirteen Generals were determined not to reduce the organization of the imperial guards.

Finally, at the suggestion of some civil officials, the Dayan court decided to reduce the military pay of the imperial guards. Originally, the monthly military pay for ordinary imperial guards was two taels of silver, and in war, one tael of silver would be added to the military pay of three taels of silver per month.

After the reduction, the monthly military salary of ordinary imperial soldiers was one or two cents of silver, and it was only restored to the monthly military salary of three or two cents of silver in wartime. The officers of the imperial soldiers at all levels also reduced part of the monthly salary accordingly.

The Dayan imperial court reduced the military pay of the imperial guards this time, which made the majority of imperial guards complain. However, under the operation of the Thirteen Generals, the storm caused by the reduction of military pay was quickly calmed down.

The Thirteen Generals will give some living allowances to the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guards who are in control. For example, ordinary Imperial Guards can receive a living allowance of one or two silver dollars a month, plus a military pay of one or two silver dollars, and the income is even higher than before.

Of course, the Thirteen Generals formulated such a living subsidy system, which will further increase the control of the imperial guards of each of the guards.

Emperor Zhao Zhe knew very well what the living subsidy system formulated by the Thirteen Generals to the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guards of each guards would bring. However, Emperor Zhao Zhe felt that except for the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the military power of the other forty-nine guards was already in the hands of the Thirteen Generals. Even if he did not reduce the military pay of the Imperial Guards of the Imperial Guards, the Forty-nine Guards of the Imperial Guards would only listen to the orders of the Thirteen Generals at critical moments, rather than the Emperor of the Great Yan.

Therefore, in order to successfully reduce the military pay of the Imperial Army officers and soldiers, Emperor Zhao Zhe turned a blind eye to the thirteen generals' living allowances for the Imperial Army officers and soldiers of each guard.

Emperor Zhao Zhe used the condition of abolishing the left and right Zhiwei and left and right Xinwei as a condition, and forced the Thirteen Generals to agree, based on the guards in the palace and the Jinjia Camp, imitating the imperial guards of the Jinluo Kingdom and forming the imperial guards of the Dayan Empire to guard the palace.

The Imperial Army is temporarily organized into three brigades, but each brigade of the Imperial Army only has three battalions, which makes the entire Imperial Army only about 12,000 people, with the Emperor Zhao Zhe serving as the commander of the Imperial Army.

Li Bin had no intention of paying attention to the open and secret struggle between the royal family and the Thirteen Generals. After handing over the military powers of the two outer guards of Congzhou Prefecture, the two outer guards of Fuzhou Prefecture and the two outer guards of Jingzhou Prefecture, Li Bin left Fuzhou City on April 10, 18th year of Jianping and rushed to the Zhennan Grand Governor's Office, which had been built in Guizhou City.

When Li Bin left Fuzhen City, he took away all the things he could take away. Even more than 100,000 craftsmen and their families in Fuzhen City were moved to Guizhou City.

Before Li Bin left Fuzhen City, he had reached a consensus with the Xie family, Cui family, Luo family, Tang family, Zhou family, and Cao family. Li Bin would sell 40% of the profits to six of their six companies.

For example, if the Xie family and the Cui family control two outer guards of the Xiangzhou Prefecture, then the two families can each obtain 20% of the profits of the exclusive sale of salt, iron, tea and wine in the Xiangzhou Prefecture.

In fact, the six companies were not very satisfied with this, but before the six companies entered Congzhou Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture, and Jingzhou Prefecture, Li Bin had already completed the layout of salt, iron, tea, and wine monopoly. If the six companies still wanted to interfere in the salt, iron, tea, and wine monopoly, they would inevitably break up with Li Bin, so they had to temporarily pinch their noses to agree with Li Bin's distribution plan.

Li Bin did not give up any benefits to the Xie family and Cui family who controlled the two external guards of the Junior Prefecture, and the Luo family and Tang family who controlled the Fuzhou Prefecture. After all, the navy who controlled the maritime trade of these two prefectures was controlled by Li Bin.

Moreover, since he has given up 40% of the profits of salt, iron, tea and wine in Fuzhou Prefecture and Jingzhou Prefecture, Li Bin is not planning to give these four companies more benefits.

Although the Xie family, Cui family, Luo family and Tang family were very dissatisfied with Li Bin's maritime trade in Fuzhou Prefecture and Junzhou Prefecture, under Li Bin's tough attitude, they did not have a quarrel with Li Bin, and allowed Li Bin to continue to take over the maritime trade in Fuzhou Prefecture and Junzhou Prefecture.

When Li Bin arrived at the newly built Zhennan Grand Governor's Office in Guizhou City, he was surrounded by twenty-seven concubines, as well as the seven sons and ten daughters born to Li Bin.

These twenty-seven concubines are the queen Shen Xiuyan, the former Fuzhen Kingdom harem, and eight imperial concubines, nine concubines and nine concubines.

Although these twenty-seven concubines were all considered to be beautiful and had given birth to so many sons and daughters for Li Bin, Li Bin was always very concerned about his wife Xie Yingying and eldest son Li Jie in Yong'an City.

However, Li Bin knew that it was not the time for him to return to Yong'an City. Only by training the four outer guards of Xiangzhou Prefecture and the six outer guards of Guizhou Prefecture into the elite troops of the real Dayan Imperial Guard. After he returned to Yong'an City, the Dayan imperial court would not make things difficult for him.

In terms of military training, the generals under Li Bin gathered ideas and developed a unique set of military training methods, while Li Bin joined the queue training in this set of military training methods.

The queue training started in another world, and it was learned by Li Bin in prison. After Li Bin integrated into the training methods formulated by the generals, Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, Xue Li and other generals highly praised the queue training.

Of course, it is not enough to train an army alone, and it also needs practical training. So after discussion with the generals, Li Bin and the generals regarded the barbarians as the targets of actual combat.

Li Bin used troops to various barbarian tribes not only for the actual combat training of his troops, but also for the conquest of these barbarian tribes.

These barbarian tribes are logically all within the Dongzhou Prefecture of Jinluo Kingdom, but the Jinluo Kingdom has little control over these barbarian tribes. If Jinluo Kingdom wants to recruit soldiers and recruit troops in these barbarian tribes, they need to speak with real gold and silver. Without gold and silver, the leaders of these barbarian tribes ignore Jinluo Kingdom at all.

Li Bin did not speak with gold and silver to these barbarian tribes, and directly chose to conquer by force. He constantly mobilized ten outer guards from Xiangzhou Prefecture and Guizhou Prefecture, as well as the soldiers from all over the five prefectures under his command, and divided his troops into the jungles and mountainous areas east of Guizhou Prefecture to launch an active attack on some barbarian tribes.

In just a few months, the army under Li Bin conquered more than 50 barbarian tribes of all sizes by force, annihilated more than 200,000 barbarian troops, and obtained more than 1.5 million people.

Among the more than fifty barbarian tribes, some large barbarian tribes have built cities, and there are a total of thirteen mountain cities. Now these thirteen mountain cities have all fallen into the hands of Li Bin's army.

During the process of military conquest, Li Bin ordered his army to almost slaughter all the nobles of more than 50 barbarian tribes. As for the ordinary barbarians, Li Bin did not make things difficult for them, but instead distributed the nobles' land to these poor ordinary barbarians.

Li Bin also temporarily classified this large area connected by more than 50 barbarian tribes with thirteen mountain cities as the center, and the thirteen mountain cities became thirteen county towns.

Li Bin's use of troops to these barbarian tribes aroused strong protest from the Jinluo Kingdom, but Li Bin ignored the protest from the Jinluo Kingdom and ignored it at all. He continued to send troops to attack other barbarian tribes by doing his own.

In a hall of the imperial palace in Jinluo City, the capital of Jinluo Kingdom, Emperor Xiahou Zhen gritted his teeth and said to the Minister of War Xiahou Cheng: "That Li Bin is simply too bullying. I, Jinluo, have protested to him many times and asked his troops to stop attacking Jinluo's Dongzhou Prefecture, but he is still using troops to the barbarian tribes in Dongzhou Prefecture. What does the Yan court say?"

Xiahou Cheng, Minister of War, sighed and said: "The Yan State's imperial court said it was a barbarian army. First, he plundered many villages in Guizhou Prefecture. The Yan State imperial guards in Guizhou Prefecture launched a counterattack against some barbarian tribes."

Emperor Xiahou Zhen was so angry that he laughed: "Those barbarians are as afraid of the imperial guards of Yan State. How dare they rob the villages of Guizhou Prefecture? It's completely nonsense. Moreover, after Li Bin's army captured the territories of those barbarian tribes, they have begun to classify these territories as counties. You must know that the territories of those barbarian tribes belong to the Dongzhou Prefecture of Jinluo. Does Yan State want to tear up the peace agreement that the two countries have just signed recently?"

Xiahou Cheng, Minister of War, smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, the Yan State court has made it clear that it does not recognize the vast area occupied by the barbarians as the Dongzhou Prefecture of our Jinluo Kingdom. The Yan State court said that our Jinluo Kingdom has no garrison in the territory of the barbarians, two has no county, three has not appointed officials at all levels, four has not collected taxes, so we cannot say that it is Dongzhou Prefecture or Dongzhou Prefecture."

Xiahou Zhen, the emperor of Jinluo, angrily smashed the dragon case in front of him with his fist, and then shouted angrily: "I can't bear it! I want to send troops! I want to teach the people of Yan a lesson!"

Xiahou Cheng, Minister of War, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty calms down. Now our Jinluo Imperial Army has been reduced to twenty-four towns, and the national treasury is empty, so there is no strength to start another war with Yan State."

Since the treasury of Jinluo Kingdom was emptied by Li Bin, after the war, relying solely on the inner treasury of Jinluo Kingdom's royal family and the current fiscal revenue of Jinluo Kingdom, we could not afford to support too much army.

The Jinluo court had no choice but to abolish part of the Jinluo Imperial Army and most of the Jinluoxiang Army. The remaining twenty-four towns were reduced to three brigades. The twenty-four towns now had only about 500,000 people, while the Jinluoxiang Army only retained 300,000 people.

"Are you just watching Yan State annex our Dongzhou Prefecture, Jin Luo? Once Yan State conquered hundreds of barbarian tribes in the Dongzhou Prefecture, then our Jin Luo may no longer even have the opportunity to seek revenge on Yan State. Without the millions of barbarian soldiers in the Dongzhou Prefecture, what can I use to compete with Yan State!"

Xiahou Cheng, the Minister of War, pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, it is not that easy for Yan State to conquer hundreds of barbarian tribes in our Jinluo Dongzhou Prefecture. Qingfan Man, Hongshan Man, Huadong Man and Heishui Man will not be easily conquered by Yan State. These four major barbarians can easily gather hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops. Maybe this time Li Bin will suffer a big loss in Dongzhou Prefecture."

Qingfanman, Hongshanman, Huadongman, and Heishuiman are the four most powerful barbarians in the so-called Dongzhou Prefecture of the Jinluo Kingdom. Among them, Qingfanman, which ranks first in the top population, has a population of more than eight million.

The Hongshan Man, which is second-most powerful, has a population of about five million, and the Huadong Man, which is third-most powerful, also has a population of about three million, and the Heishui Man, which is second-most powerful, also has a population of more than two million.

The population of hundreds of barbarian tribes in the Dongzhou Prefecture of Jinluo Kingdom is more than 30 million. The population of Qingfan, Hongshan, Huadong, and Heishui barbarians account for three-fifths.

When the Minister of War Xiahou Cheng mentioned Qingfanman, Hongshanman, Hua Dongman and Heishuiman, the anger on the face of Emperor Xiahou Zhen weakened a little, "Now that Li Bin has been using troops against Dongzhou Prefecture for more than three months. Why haven't Qingfanman, Hongshanman, Hua Dongman and Heishuiman taken any action yet?"

Xiahou Cheng immediately said: "Report to Your Majesty, according to the information obtained by our Ministry of War, the leaders of the Qingfan Man, Hongshan Man, Huadong Man and Heishui Man seem to have gathered together to discuss ways to deal with the invasion of Yan's army. I believe that the four major barbarians will jointly send troops to attack Li Bin's army. "

Emperor Xiahou Zhen nodded slightly, "Then let the four barbarians teach the arrogant Li Bin a lesson! If the four barbarians jointly send troops, your Ministry of War should give the four barbarians as much as possible."

Xiahou Cheng, Minister of War, hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, if the four barbarians really join forces to fight with the Yan army under Li Bin, they may buy a large amount of weapons and equipment from our Jin Luo. I was originally considering taking the opportunity to raise the price to alleviate some of our Jin Luo's military spending pressure."

When Emperor Xiahou Zhen heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "In order to get the four barbarians to send troops to help me fight against Yan State, I, Jin Luo, have paid a lot of real money and silver. It is worth asking for some back this time."
