Although major military operations were suspended, the military expansion of the Northern Frontier Army did not stop.

In terms of the army, Li Yi ordered the reorganization of the Northern Xinjiang Army and expanded the original eight army corps to twelve army corps. Among them, there were 90,000 cavalry corps in five legions, 216,000 in seven infantry legions, plus 6,000 cavalry cavalry in the hussar guards directly subordinate to Li Yi, totaling 312,000 people. This was a standing army used by the imperial court for conquest.

In the standing corps, the cavalry corps were mixed cavalry, and each legion consisted of one hoplite cavalry corps and two light cavalry corps. The infantry corps remained the same as before, consisting of three infantry corps and one chariot corps.

At the same time, elite soldiers were selected from the Tuntian army in the local area and a garrison army was established as a military force to maintain local stability. The garrison corps differs from the standing corps, mainly in terms of equipment. The cavalry garrison corps numbered 18,000 men, including three cavalry corps, all of which were light cavalry. The Infantry Garrison Corps, on the other hand, consisted of only three infantry corps and had no chariot troops.

Among them, two cavalry garrison corps were set up in the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, each with three corps, totaling 36,000 people; The Liaodong Metropolitan Protectorate established a cavalry garrison corps and two army garrison corps, totaling 62,000 men; Youzhou set up a cavalry garrison corps and two infantry garrison corps, totaling 62,000 people, and established a cavalry garrison corps and an infantry garrison corps in Hedong County, totaling 40,000 people; Jizhou set up a cavalry garrison corps and two infantry garrison corps, totaling 62,000 people. The total garrison army consisted of six cavalry garrison regiments and seven infantry garrison regiments, with 276,000.

As for the Navy, preparations for the establishment of the Navy's Third Fleet are still in accordance with the previous establishment, including two first-class warships, 10 second-class warships, 20 third-class warships, 50 fourth-class warships, and a number of transport ships. The full strength of each fleet is 15,000 men, of which 3,000 are naval base guards. The total strength of the three naval fleets was forty-five thousand.

In addition, the Yulin Army, that is, the Southern Army, was reorganized as the guard force of the Heavenly Son's Palace. The establishment is three thousand people.

At the same time, the special operations forces were also formed into independent armies, with the same establishment of 3,000 people.

In this way, the northern frontier had an army of nearly 640,000, and the princes of the world were shaken for a while. No one dared to spy on the north. The princes of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei and other princes bordering it were all bitter, and often sent envoys to contact each other to resist the growing power of Li Yi in the north.

Although each of these people has a limited number of troops, they are also very strong when combined with each other, and Li Yi will not attack rashly, so he can develop in the north with peace of mind.

Li Yi drew on the experience of the military of later generations, and the standing army was all staffed by professional soldiers, with the age of 18 as the standard for enlistment, and those who were over 35 years old could be demobilized and returned home. When discharged from the army, a resettlement fee will be given according to the length of service, and an additional five acres of fertile land will be given.

In other local garrison units, Li Yi boldly activated the compulsory military system of later generations, and he could be demobilized and returned home after three years of military service. Among them, he is outstanding and can be turned into a professional soldier. The local garrison only had a certain amount of severance pay, and there was no good land as a reward.

The Navy is all subject to the standards of treatment of the Standing Forces of the Army.

Standing troops, all-weather high-intensity training. Most of the local garrison units are trained in adaptability, and the rest of the time they are deployed in the fields.

As for the millions of Tuntian soldiers who had spread throughout northern Xinjiang before, they all changed jobs on the spot and became ordinary local residents. However, in the process, Li Yi once again borrowed the militia system of later generations, and these tuntian soldiers who were transferred to the local area still had to undergo proper military training on a regular basis. And it is necessary to shoulder the obligation to fight against Xiaoxiao and bandits. Demobilized soldiers, as reservists, join militia organizations and train in their spare time.

In this way, in a few years, most of the school-age men under Li Yi's rule will master certain military skills, which are much stronger than ordinary people. In the event of a large-scale war, when there is a shortage of troops, Li Yi can immediately organize a large number of well-trained soldiers.

These are the relatively perfect military service system under the valuable experience of the later generations for thousands of years, Xu Maogong and other military advisors have never seen it, thinking of the wonders, they can't help but praise Li Yi's wisdom in unison, and the ancestors of the art of war cannot be compared.

In order to ensure the enthusiasm of the people under his rule to join the army, Li Yi launched the Shadow Group, and also learned from the experience of later generations to set up a literary troupe to publicize the positive image of soldiers defending their homes and the country, and improve the social status of soldiers. In the whole three northern states and two capitals, people are proud to be soldiers. The situation is similar to that in the sixties and seventies of later generations, when the girl was looking for her in-law's family, the first thing she had to ask was whether the young man had ever been a soldier.

In addition, this is also related to Li Yi's internal affairs of cultivating the land of the cultivators, and the people all took the initiative to enlist in the army in order to maintain their hard-won happy life. Of course, Li Yi's ability to implement such a policy is inseparable from the withering of the Beidi Shi clan after a long period of war.

It was difficult for other princes to implement such a policy, although they also suffered some wars under their rule, but after the war, these princes supported new clan lords, while Li Yi did not support any clans.

Li Yi's treatment of active-duty soldiers is also generous, and a soldier's salary for a year is equivalent to the total income of a family. In addition, after being discharged from the army, there will be many preferential treatments, land, money and food, and you can marry a beautiful daughter-in-law. Young people of appropriate age are all hot-eyed and rush to the local conscription offices to sign up for the army.

Among the twelve standing corps, the commanders of the five cavalry corps were Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Gao Changgong, Lu Bu, and Zhang Liao, and the commanders of the seven infantry corps were Yue Fei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Li Jing, and Gao Shun. The commanders of the three fleets were Cheng Pu, Han Dang and Yu Dayou.

In this way, three months passed in a hurry, and the entire north, both military and internal, entered a stage of stable and high-speed development. And the promising princes in various places are also working hard to improve their own strength and lay the foundation for the future hegemony of the world.

………………

In the past few months, Li Yi has been busy and dizzy, sleeping for two or three hours a day. Hundreds of wastes are waiting to be revived, so it is too late to clash with the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials, and the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials see that Li Yi is tired and tired, and they all regard him as the reincarnated Duke of Zhou.

The Son of Heaven saw that Li Yi was tired of dying and alive for his court, and he was his own good hussar general, so he didn't say anything to Li Yi in these three months.

However, when everything in the ruined court became normal, the Son of Heaven felt better and better, so he issued his first great order, that is, to build a magnificent palace for himself to live in.

The Son of Heaven originally planned to build a palace in Quanzhou, but the close minister told the Son of Heaven that Quanzhou was not suitable as the capital, and that this was the fief of the hussar general, so it was better to choose another place.

The Son of Heaven accepted this suggestion and finally decided to use Jicheng as a place to establish a new capital.

Jicheng became the third capital of the Han Dynasty, and the new capital for the royal family started from scratch, to build palaces and palaces, and establish temples and shrines.

The construction of a huge palace complex requires a lot of money.

Li Yi's Li Chamber of Commerce, presided over by Mi Zhu, almost monopolized the industry and commerce under Li Yi's policy tilt. As a result, he has money, but he will not use it to replenish the treasury at will.

Although the treasury is now his, after all, there is still a court on the surface. He often muttered: "I am not a prince who welcomes the Son of Heaven in the Three Kingdoms game, as a real important minister of the court, and a loyal minister, I can't dump the treasury and private money back and forth at will." ”

Therefore, the courtiers who had no money found Li Yi.

Dong Cheng finally took out a drawing, he was the uncle of the country, so he was most concerned about the affairs of his nephew's palace, and he found a capable architect early in the morning to design the construction plan according to the scale of the ancestral palace.

Dong Cheng said: "Here is the design of the new palace, which has been approved by His Majesty. His Majesty wants to be angry and strong, and the Han Dynasty is specially named after the ancestral palace 'Weiyang Palace', and the hussar general is invited to build it according to the drawings. ”

Weiyang Palace is the general name of the building complex, and Li Yi took over the largest real estate design plan he has ever seen in his life.

The palace complex is divided into two large clusters, north and south.

The South Palace is the place where the emperor and his officials discuss politics, the building layout is neat and orderly, and the palace pavilions are lined up one after another. The main palace is located on the north-south axis of Yecheng, from north to south: Sima Gate, Duan Gate, but not the door, but not the hall, Zhanghua Gate, Chongde Palace, Zhongde Palace, Long Live Hall and Pingshuo Palace.

There are two rows of symmetrical palace buildings on the east and west sides of the central axis, and two rows on the west side are arranged in order from south to north. One row is Hongde Gate, Mingguang Palace, Xuanshu Palace, Chengfu Palace, Jiade Gate, Jiade Palace, Yutang Palace, Xuande Palace, Jiande Palace; The other row is the Yuntai Palace, the Xianqin Palace, the Hanzhang Palace, the Yang'an Palace, the Yuntai, the Lantai, the Pavilion, the Changqiu Palace, and the West Palace.

The east side is also two rows, one row is the Golden Horse Palace, the Bronze Horse Palace, the Respect Law Palace, the Zhangde Palace, the Lecheng Gate, the Le Cheng Palace, the Wende Hall and the East Palace, and the first row is the Shizhonglu, the Qingliang Palace, the Phoenix Palace, the Yellow Dragon Palace, the Shou'an Palace, the Bamboo Palace, the Chengfeng Hall and the East View.

The two rows are parallel to the central axis, highlighting the majesty. Arranged vertically and horizontally, there are straight roads in the front and back of each palace building to communicate with other palaces.

Li Yi is on the drawing, which can be said to be looking down on Nangong. It forms a lattice-shaped layout, and the building is regular and symmetrical.

The north palace is the harem where the emperor and his concubines live, and its status is more important than that of the south palace, so the building should be extremely luxurious. In the middle, there are Wen Yu Palace, Anfu Palace, Hehuan Palace, Deyang Gate, Deyang Palace, Xuanming Palace, Shuoping Department, Pinghong Palace.

In the west, there are: Chongde Palace, Chongzheng Palace, Yongle Palace. There are two gates in the south of Chongde Palace, the East Gold Merchant and the West Divine Tiger. There are two views in the south of the two gates, the east increases the joy view, and the west white tiger view.

The eastern part is: Tianlu Palace, Zhangtai Palace, Hande Palace, Shou'an Palace, Zhangde Hall and Chongde Palace, Yongning Palace, Yingchun Palace, Yanxiu Palace, Anchang Palace, Jingfu Hall and Yong'an Palace.

The main hall shall be built thirty feet high, and the base shall be fifty feet. The entire palace complex was built on the base of the rammed earth platform, and it is estimated that the earthwork needed for the rammed earth platform may be able to dig out a river. (To be continued.) )
