Chapter 1057 Civil and Military Arms
In the new year, a new month, I ask you for the next monthly ticket. The guaranteed monthly ticket should have been released. I hope everyone can help you. We will have a good situation in the Year of the Horse!—
The weather was high and the air was cool, and it was a good weather. Chu Huan was in a good mood. There were two reasons. One was that he transported almost all the supplies back from Kunzi Camp.
According to the outbound list of the Ministry of War, the materials transferred by Dongfangxin were almost taken back intact, and these materials were re-entered into the Hyogo.
One of Chu Huan's current biggest goals is to recruit the Governor-General Guards. Although he had already written to the court and needed the court to provide equipment and supplies, Chu Huan was very clear. Not to mention that this note is still on the way, even if it was submitted to the capital in a while, the court would not be able to allocate weapons and equipment in a very short time.
The war is still in the southeast. What is even more shocking is that the war in the southeast has not stopped, and the fire broke out again in the rear of the capital. The rebel army of the Qingtian King of Hebei Province has made a comeback, like a storm, quickly upsetting the already uneasy Hebei Province. Chu Huan knew clearly that if the court had no time to deal with the war in the southeast before the Qingtian King made a comeback, in addition to dealing with the war in the southeast, the court had no time to take care of the northwest in the current situation, and the energy left was left, it would inevitably turn to Hebei.
Pei Ji once analyzed with Chu Huan that the emperor sent Chu Huan to Xiguan, the main purpose was to constrain Zhu Lingyue and delay time so that the northwest would not become Zhu Lingyue's world.
At that time, Chu Huan also agreed with Pei Ji's idea. In order to let Chu Huan restrain Zhu Lingyue, the emperor must give Chu Huan some trump cards, such as rebuilding the Governor's Imperial Guard. For example, the imperial court allocated a batch of military equipment to come. Chu Huan also thought that the emperor would definitely support it, but the situation changed rapidly. What was originally a foregone conclusion was now changing. Chu Huan did not doubt that the emperor was willing to support him, but he doubted whether the emperor still had such ability now.
The national strength of the Qin Dynasty has long been different from the past. When its national strength is declining, it is occupied by the people of Xiliang. It has already consumed the great manpower, financial and material resources of the Qin Dynasty. The front door drives the tiger, the back door enters the wolf, the Tianmen Road in the uprising, and the empire has consumed huge national strength to deal with it. Chu Huan has been in the Ministry of Revenue and roughly knows the foundation of the empire. When dealing with the Tianmen Road, the empire may be able to make ends meet, but when the Blue Heaven King makes trouble in Hebei, the empire's financial and material resources are already in short supply. If the emperor's established plan will give him certain material support, then the changes in Hebei will greatly reduce Chu Huan's hope.
Hebei is just behind the Jingji community. When the backyard caught fire, the emperor could not not pay attention to it. However, the northwest is far away from the Jingji community, so the fire was naturally rescued from the backyard.
Chu Huan knew that Pei Ji was right. Even if he was really smart, even if he was really good at martial arts, even if he had the support of the gentry of Xiguan, but he did not have an army that could always be driven by him, he would not be able to gain a foothold in Xiguan at all.
It is urgent to re-enlist the Imperial Guards, but if there are no weapons and supplies and the soldiers recruited are unarmed, they really have no combat power to talk about.
Fortunately, at this moment, I took back these military supplies from Kunzi Camp, which was a solution to the urgent need.
Another reason why Chu Huan was in a good mood was that the conscription led by Pei Ji had already begun. When the second day after the materials were operated from Kun to Hyogo, the conscription order signed by Chu Huan himself had been issued.
The recruitment order describes the conditions of the military personnel in detail, and has certain restrictions on height and weight.
This is not Chu Huan's judgment of people by his appearance. Chu Huan knows that throughout history, countless heroes have all had poor appearances and talented people who do not necessarily have good appearances, good appearances, and ability.
However, according to Pei Ji's requirements, the first batch of recruitment mainly trained a group of soldiers from the Imperial Guards. These group of soldiers must have strong physical qualities. Chu Huan listed thirteen special training methods, without strong physical qualities, it is really difficult to hold on. Moreover, Chu Huan and Pei Ji reached a consensus on this point, that is, the main purpose of recruitment is the word "soldier", which is to recruit a group of brave and powerful children from the Northwest.
Chu Huan knew the importance of talents, and he had even discussed with Pei Ji that recruitment and seeking generals were two different things. When the Imperial Guard was established, the order to seek talents was issued.
At this time, the head of the army has always been strong so that he can lay a foundation in the northwest. Under the current circumstances, outsiders think that Chu Huan is weak, and it is really difficult for many people to join Chu Huan's command.
Although the conditions for the conscription order are a bit harsh, it is not a difficult task in Xiguan, which has been subjected to war.
Due to geographical and environmental factors, the physical fitness of the people in the northwest ranks among the sixteen paths of the Great Qin Empire. In the wind and sand in the northwest, they not only have a strong body, but also have willpower that is difficult for the people in the Guanwen area to match.
People in the northwest were warlike at heart. They had always had scholars from the pass and generals from the northwest. After the conscription order was issued, Pei Ji was the planner in the name of the Governor's Office and appointed officials from the Ministry of War Department to set up many conscription places.
Because the number of the first batch of recruits was limited, the recruitment location was only set up in Yuezhou and did not spread. In the recruitment order, there was also a detailed introduction to the treatment of soldiers. Through the preferred recruits, they would be organized and thirteen special trainings were started, and the fittest survived until there were 800 entries. These 800 soldiers were officially incorporated into the Governor-General Guard and enjoyed the treatment of the Imperial Guard.
The Imperial Guard belongs to a Governor's guard and is directly governed by the Governor. Therefore, the treatment of the Imperial Guard has always been greater than that of other troops in local troops.
The military pay of the state army, the guards and the border army is difficult to compare with the imperial guards.
However, the selection of the Imperial Guard has always been much stricter than that of other local armies. It is even more difficult to hold an official position in the Imperial Guard.
In fact, every governor of each road will maintain close relationship with the gentry of the original rank, and the generals in each road of the imperial guards are also filled with the children of gentry. In order to form connections in the local area, the governors of each road will often leave some place for the children of gentry in the imperial guards to win over local gentry.
The treatment of the Imperial Guard is higher than that of other local troops, but it is much more difficult to get promoted. Just like Pang Liu and Wang Han in the Xishan Imperial Guard, both of whom are nearly 40 years old and have served in the Imperial Guard for many years, but now they are just an Imperial Guard captain. However, once they are promoted in the Imperial Guard, their treatment will be greatly improved.
Those who are in the army are just to have a bite of food. If possible, they can be promoted to honor their ancestors. This is naturally a great thing. For most people, the most realistic purpose of being in the army is to fill their stomachs.
However, Chu Huan's recruitment order emphasized that the Xiguan Imperial Guards are only talented and can be promoted as long as they are capable, even if they are from poor families.
This is something that rarely appears in previous recruitment orders.
What Xiguan is short of food nowadays. It is really a luxury for ordinary people to have enough food. As soon as the conscription order was issued, the conscription immediately became a large number of people.
As a soldier, as long as he can be selected as an Imperial Guard, he can not only get food, but also get military pay. For many Northwest men now, this is undoubtedly the most attractive way out at present.
Many ordinary people, due to poverty and hunger, even took risks to fight their families and robbed their families and became bandits. Now they can join the army and eat food and become regular soldiers of the empire. Of course, this is much better than being a bandit.
News of the conscription order spread, and there were endless people who were conscripted. Every conscription point lined up a long line from morning to night.
Conscription is a major event, but Chu Huan did not forget another thing. After Wei Wuji was arranged to move into the Governor's Office, Chu Huan would come to Wei Wuji to discuss strategies for governing Xiguan whenever he had time.
Chu Huan deeply appreciated Wei Wuji's suggestions on equalizing land and inter-reconciliation of taxes and labor services, and he felt that under the current situation, it was exactly the situation that suited Xiguan.
But he knew better that implementing equalization of land is not a simple matter. It takes a lot of time to prepare just by registering the population and the inspection of the land.
This is not an urgent matter. Chu Huan himself does not have much insight into such internal affairs. When talking with Wei Wuji, the main discussion was how to implement the equilibrium and how to inspect the land. This is a major event that concerns the future of Xiguan. Chu Huan not only needs to know the general direction, but also needs to understand how to take this path. He knew that the equilibrium involved in equilibrium should not be hasty. This is a new attempt. The specific implementation process must be careful and careful. Otherwise, if there is a mistake, it will backfire and cause greater difficulties.
Since Wei Wuji moved into the Governor's Office, the strategy proposed was appreciated by Chu Huan. He was full of energy. In this world, it is not possible to stand out with talent. Many people with great talents have no enough to show their talents, so they can only be lost in the crowd. Wei Wuji is full of ambitions, but along the way, he has encountered walls everywhere. Now he has finally met Chu Huan who admires him. Naturally, he is grateful and repays with all his heart.
Although he had long had a detailed study on the implementation of Juntian, now in Xiguan, he naturally had to make careful arrangements for the current situation of Xiguan and need to understand the overall land distribution of Xiguan at this point. In this regard, he had to study the detailed information of many local governments. Most of these information were reviewed by Chu Huan from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works in his own name.
In order to allow Wei Wuji to make arrangements with peace of mind, Chu Huan even vacated the study room of the Governor's Office to be used for Wei Wuji, which made Wei Wuji even more grateful.
Pei Ji was behind the scenes of the recruitment, while Juntian was planned by Wei Wuji, and each literary and military complemented each other, which saved Chu Huan a lot of trouble. He took time to inspect Xixia Mountain. The construction of the factory under Du Fugong was very fast. According to Chu Huan's design requirements, it was almost completed.
