1403 Twelve Turns
After Huan Xuan finished reporting the situation of the sergeant's levy, it was Zhang Tan's turn to report on the dispatch of food.
Although Zhang Tan is named Wei County Taishou, but at present, Wei County, where Ye Di is located, still has no administrative structure, and he naturally has no government affairs to deal with, mainly to cooperate with military operations, in addition to being responsible for the basic dispatch and transportation of grain and grass, there is also to preside over the reorganization and recruitment of people and prisoners.
Life in the world requires a certain amount of luck, Zhang Tan didn't feel too deeply about this before, but now he is convinced. In just over a year, he has turned from a general of the Qiang Kingdom to a high-ranking official, and his encounter is not bizarre.
With the full-scale development of the Northern Expedition, a considerable number of Hebei Shiliu portals took the initiative to take refuge in Xingtai, unwilling to be martyred for the state of Qian. Among them, there are many people whose family reputation, including the power of the old years, are far above him, but these people lack great merit, while Zhang Tan has followed the Fenwu Army to break the great merit of Xiangguo, and he has become the first person in Hebei to be in Xingtai, and it is also very beautiful for a while.
Steeply approaching a high position, he can come into contact with more military and political secrets of Xingtai, and Zhang Tan also has a deeper understanding of the heritage and power that Xingtai has.
Not to mention anything else, since the start of the war alone, millions of grains and grass have been transferred and transported to the front line through his hands. And the Wei County Taishou where he lived was only one of the supply bases of the middle road king's division, in addition, there were also Dunqiu, Jijun, Hanoi and other counties that were also in charge of affairs, and at the same time accepted the control of Yu Du, the governor of Zhisu.
In other words, since the start of the war in May, more than 20 million tons of grain and grass have been transported north by the central route alone, and if we do not consider the grain and grass that needs to be invested in local reconstruction, the grain and grass transported to Hebei at the moment alone will be enough to support the consumption of the 150,000 troops on the central route for two years.
Xingtai has such a strong war endurance, even if it is hard to stay still, it is enough to boil the country to death!
After explaining the logistics matters, Zhang Tan peeked at the general's expression and seemed to be good, so he said boldly: "Recently, I have been walking around in the army to comfort and surrender, and many of them are exemplary in the countryside, and they also express their hope to donate themselves to the country and bring their righteous township to help the war......
"This matter is not urgent, the current situation in southern Hebei is still fierce, and you can't be the enemy unless you are brave and reckless. Although the township is generous, it is not a good thing to completely ignore the danger and rashly gather troops to fight. ”
Without waiting for Zhang Tan to finish speaking, Shen Zhezi raised his hand to veto the matter.
On the one hand, it is natural that the current Wang Division has an overall advantage, whether it is the number of soldiers, morale or the trend of the war after that, there is no need to recruit and send Hebei county and county soldiers to participate in the war.
On the other hand, he did not trust these prisoners, and if he armed them, it could not be ruled out that they would take the opportunity to cause chaos. At the moment, these people seem to be deferential, but once they have the swords, guns and armor in their hands, their thoughts and plans are naturally different.
Of course, when it comes to the real rule of Hebei, we can't completely throw these township righteousness aside. At present, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Central Route Army are distributed among the territories of these counties and counties that have been recovered, and they cannot be exhaustive and without loopholes.
After that, the war continued to advance, more territory was recovered, and the local protection and purging work was already difficult to do with the strength of the Wang's division alone, and it was necessary to decentralize some of the power and let the local townspeople be responsible for the local guards.
However, before defeating Xiangguo, Shen Zhezi did not plan to attract these Hebei villagers into the ruling structure. Even if you need to absorb some of it later, you must have a choice of rules.
"The righteousness of the township cannot be disappointed, but the task of recovering is heavy, and it cannot be taken on if it is not the choice of talent. Later, I will dispatch a part of the secret pavilion to follow Zhang Jun to be responsible for the selection of talents, and the Taoluo examination is indispensable. ”
At present, Hebei, the chapter system is abolished, the old law is completely gone, although there is a situation of barbaric growth and growth in the countryside, but under the pressure of the Wang Shi's army, there is no wind and waves at all. In the face of the ruins of this system, Shen Zhezi will naturally not be polite, if he wants to join the order of the stage, he naturally has to follow my rules.
At this time, Xie Shang hurried in outside the big tent, first to confess that it was late, and then let people carry several large boxes, and stepped forward to report: "The military medal has been restructured, the strategy has been drafted, and the Northern Expedition affairs have been learned here after May, and I respectfully invite the general to read the axe." ”
"Already done?"
When Shen Zhezi heard this, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and when he saw that Xie Shang's expression was not lacking in haggard and thin, he also nodded and said, "It's really hard Renzu." ”
As he spoke, he got up and went down, and hastily flipped through some of the books presented by Xie Shang, with a smile on his face even thicker.
Xie Shang was mainly responsible for the reform of meritorious service during this time, that is, to change the original count of the first merit performed in the Wang Shijun to the twelfth military merit.
As the number of troops under the command of Wang Shi increased, and the territory controlled by Xingtai became larger and larger, the original Jiagong system was no longer appropriate, and Shen Zhezi had long had the idea of reforming the military merit system, but there was never a suitable opportunity. On the occasion of this large-scale northern expedition, Wang Shi gathered in Hebei and took advantage of this opportunity to carry out a relatively in-depth reform.
The original Jiagong system was specific to the individual soldiers, and was based on Jiagong food. This method of calculating merit is more accurate and can ensure the merits of each soldier in more detail.
However, this method of calculating merit is too cumbersome, and the demand for execution is higher. In the early years, when this military merit system was formulated, Xingtai was only the Huainan Governor's Office, and even Yuzhou was not under control, and the strength of Wang's soldiers was only tens of thousands of soldiers, and the implementation was still simple.
However, as the power of the royal division became more and more prosperous, and the battle line became longer and longer, this method of calculating merit was no longer reasonable. In the old years, the Jiagong food could be directly allocated by the tuntianzhong of several counties in Huainan, but now most of the tuntian has been changed to the military government, and it is no longer possible to bear the burden of Jiagong's food.
is more like Wang Shiyuan led by Yu Manzhi in Longyou, does Jiagong want to send food to Guanzhong or Heluo? This also involves the difficulty of coordination between the military governments in various places, and the transportation of materials and grain still has a huge consumption, and the cost of implementation is higher. Therefore, from the beginning of the Western Expedition, the original Jiagong was no longer sent to food, but was directly distributed with Jiagong converted into money and silk.
However, in this way, it is faced with a problem of price fluctuations, although Xingtai has been monitoring the financial aspects well in recent years, and prices have not fluctuated too much, and the original currency reform in Huainan has also been directly introduced to Xingtai to continue to be implemented, but wars occur frequently, and fluctuations in specific areas are inevitable.
If there is no fair and upright value scale to measure military merits, what kind of military spirit can we talk about and dare to fight in the face of the enemy? The reform of military merit has been oathed.
Regarding this point, Shen Zhezi did not dig out his mind to be unconventional, gave full play to the doctrine of taking it, and directly used the twelve-turn official system of the later Tang Dynasty. Of course, it is not a complete copy of the system, after all, the basic organizational form of the Xingtai Wangshi is still different from the army of the Tang Dynasty, and the basic military government system is also limited to the characteristics of the times and adapted to local conditions.
Therefore, this system of honors is also combined with the current world conditions, and changes have been made to a certain extent in terms of details to make it more in line with the present.
The twelve turns of the commander, the grade is fixed, and the rank is clear, which can be regarded as a direct abandonment of the official rank and level since the Qin and Han dynasties, making the grade more intuitive and accurate.
This is also the beginning of the overall reform of the official system, which is not just a simple change of name, but also includes many changes in ideology, division of ministry, etc., which is the most outward embodiment of a system reform. If there is no correct understanding from top to bottom, and a clear definition of authority and authority, an official reform similar to Wang Mang's kind is nonsense.
Compared with the all-encompassing and multi-involved government affairs, the impact of military system changes on the world is smaller, and General Shen's control over the army is also stronger, and the reform of the honor officer system is an attempt and paving the way for the overall official system reform in the future.
Xie Shang has been in charge of this aspect of restructuring during this time. In fact, Shen Zhezi's preferred host is Jiang Yu, but now Jiang Yu is still trapped in Liangzhou and has not returned, and the original plan to let Xie Shang take over the Great Shangshu of the He Xi Rite Department has also changed a little, so he temporarily appointed Xie Shang as the secretary of the Great General's Mansion to preside over the reform of this system.
In terms of reform, in the current war period, the action should not be too large. It seems that he is preparing to abolish the miscellaneous general rank that has gradually spread since the Later Han Dynasty, which is not suitable at the moment, although the deprivation of the title does not affect the real authority, but there is obviously no mistake and even military merits, and suddenly the original general title is deprived, after all, there are people who can't let go.
Therefore, the current reform is mainly in terms of merit, and the original 20 meritorious services below the commander level are converted into one turn, and the number of revolutions is converted according to the actual situation above the commander level. After that, the stage awards are mainly based on the honors.
For example, last year, Shen Mu Ji's great victory in southern Hebei, although the actual reward has not yet been issued, but Shen Mu Jixun is the upper protector army, and his subordinate generals have their own merits and awarded the protector army and the captains, giving people a gradual acceptance process, and when this Northern Expedition is over, it is a complete and thorough military reform, and those strange miscellaneous names in the old years are all invalidated.
Shen Zhezi also had some expectations, according to the standard of honorable officers, after the end of this war, how many people under his command could be awarded the Shangzhu Kingdom. After the restoration of the whole Hebei, the rural rule at the grassroots level will inevitably be selected and appointed from the collective of honorable officers, with the upper grade being the pillar country and the lower grade being the Baili Hou, and this honorable officer system can also be established in the shortest possible time and play its role.
Before the arrival of the prosperous era of complete unification and internal and external troubles, this huge military system under his command was the biggest reliance on Shen Zhezi.
