Chapter 534: Legion System
"Your Majesty, the palace is newly built, all palaces and gates are named, please give it to Your Majesty!" After coming to the main gate of the palace, Xun Yu smiled at Cao Cao
Looking at this tall and magnificent main gate, Cao Cao thought for a long time and didn't think of a tall name, so he shamelessly used the doctrine of taking it, and said with a solemn face: "I inherit the mandate of heaven, it is the Han Dynasty, this gate, let's add it to the Chengtian Gate!" ”
Cao Cao was originally going to use Tiananmen directly, but thinking that Tiananmen did not sound as high-grade as Chengtianmen, and the name of Tiananmen came from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Cao Cao was disgusted when he thought of it, and directly used his original name Chengtianmen!
The three words of Chengtianmen are all very satisfied, and as for the generals, although they can't understand it, it doesn't prevent them from pretending to understand.
In the following time, Cao Cao gave full play to the doctrine of use, named the largest and most important palace in the North Palace Fengtian Palace, and named the main resting palace of the emperor in the harem as Qianqing Palace.
After entering the Fengtian Palace, Cao Cao went to the rear and changed out of his military uniform, put on the official imperial uniform, and came to the top to sit down. ”
"All the ministers are flat!"
After stretching out his hand to let the civil and military forces below get up, Cao Cao looked at Xun You, the secretary of the military department, and said, "Xun Aiqing, what I told you in the past, have you completed anything now?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, everything has been completed, and the number of soldiers in the country and state soldiers has been counted. According to His Majesty's old words, the soldiers will be divided into one to ten armies. Each army had 50,000 men, for a total of 500,000. The state soldiers are divided into eleven to twenty armies, and the number of each army is about 100,000! Xun You, the secretary of the military department, replied with Yugui in his hand.
The system of soldiers and state soldiers, when Cao Cao's territory was still too weak in the past, was still very convenient to use, but now, the territory is large, and this system is not so convenient, at least. With the expansion of the territory, the number of state soldiers and soldiers is a little vague, and the number of them is not easy to guarantee, the number of troops as the emperor, if it is not good to guarantee how many there are, this is a dangerous signal.
Of course, Cao Cao was still a little shocked, according to Xun You's division, after everything settled. It means that the entire Great Wei can go out to fight 500,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and horses guarding the homeland have reached an astonishing 1 million.
But think of the pre-Qin period. The army of the north and south was almost one million, and there were still 400,000 guards left in the central mainland, and the population at that time was not as large as it is now. Not to mention, a million soldiers. Unless it is wartime, otherwise there is not much difference between it and the peasants in peacetime. In real terms, it was just an army of 500,000, and the shock in Cao Cao's heart had decreased a lot.
Of course, Cao Cao can quickly think of this, and the civil and military forces below can also think of it, but even so, their faces show joy, shock and pride, an army of millions is enough for Great Wei to sweep the world!
Of course, in addition, there is also a legion, that is, Cao Cao's personal soldiers, the Imperial Forest Army!
Different from later dynasties, due to the grassland at this time and completely ruled by Cao Cao, Cao Cao, who was rich and wealthy on the war horse, did not have a little heartache, and replaced all his 50,000 personal soldiers with cavalry, and the 50,000 Royal Forest Army will be infantry when guarding the palace, and will become cavalry after the expedition!
Cao Cao decided on the spot that from today onwards, the national soldier and state soldier system will be cancelled and replaced by the corps system, of which the first to tenth legions are the main battle corps, which is almost equal to the professional soldiers of later generations, and the eleventh to twentieth is the local arch guard, which is a farmer in peacetime and a soldier in wartime!
In addition, Cao Cao was afraid that such a system would easily become the guard system of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, so he also issued an additional decree, that is, a regimental competition was held every three years, and the winner went up and the loser went down, that is to say, twenty legions were not certain, as long as they were strong enough, even the local arch guard legion could become the main legion!
As for how to motivate, it's too simple, first of all, Cao Cao is very insidious to divide the monthly food and money of the soldiers between the legions, the first tenth army, talking about food, saying that the money is much better than the eleventh and twenty armies, just this point, Cao Cao is not afraid that they will not be red eyes when the time comes, staring at the top ten armies, and it is impossible for everyone in the front ten armies to have no crisis!
Of course, whether it is the local arch guard corps or the main legion, all the military power of these twenty armies is in Cao Cao's hands, and at the same time, Cao Cao is also preparing to have a flag awarding ceremony.
When Cao Cao asked about this idea in general, all of them were passed without the slightest exception, and after passing, Cao Cao handed over the matter to Xun You, he just had to wait for the day when the flag ceremony began, of course, there would also be a competition to determine the order of the legions!
Although the flag awarding ceremony has not yet begun, but the imperial court wants to integrate the soldiers, divide a twenty army, and there is a gap, the soldiers still know, as Cao Cao expected, the former soldiers do not say much, even if they are some of the state soldiers who were not able to lift their energy in the past, this time it can be said that they are all gearing up, just waiting to compete for the top ten regiments, after all, no one will be with money, will not get along with food, especially in the Chinese land where the people take food as the sky!
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Cao Cao walked out of the main hall through the side door, and then Cao Cao was dumbfounded, looking at the brilliant pavilions in front of him, but he didn't know where the harem was going from.
Cao Cao, who had a headache, grabbed a palace maid who passed by, and the palace maid blushed and hurriedly saluted Cao Cao and said, "Servant, meet Your Majesty!" ”
"I'm here to ask you, where is this Nangong going?" Even if it was Cao Cao, he was still a little embarrassed when he asked this.
The palace maid was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding why Cao Cao said this call, after all, this palace is Cao Cao's "home", seeing this, Cao Cao rubbed his forehead, and said straight to the point: "You take me there!" ”
The palace maid was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly agreed.
Cao Cao, under the guidance of this palace maid, walked for half an hour before coming to the South Palace, and all the way was full of splendid and magnificent buildings. (To be continued......)
