Since Yue, there has been a tradition of "foreign surnames do not seal the king, and knighthoods do not tear the soil", that is, the kings of the clan are vassals, and they do not tear the soil and do not come to the people. For more than 200 years, there have been two cases of this tradition, one is the fact that Cao's foreign surname is the king of Guyuan County, which caused the Cao family to divide Guanzhong; The first is to seal the luxury Wenzhuang for the Marquis of Jin An, cut the Jin Anfu to stand on its own, and finally in the southeast of the catastrophe - at this time, it was forced by the situation to reward the merits of "building a society and an temple".

Yin Shang had the name of the feudal country, roughly in the territory of West Qin County, Lin Tie to rebuild the work of the community, tearing the soil to seal the country, of course, can not occupy the territory from the hands of the Cao family, but to Chongzhou, Hecheng, Jiangmen, Yudong, Sisheng five counties and the wild land Yizhou cut out for Chongguo fiefdom.

Lin Jian did not have enough manpower to control the two sets of teams in Jiangning and Huaidong respectively, and the places under the jurisdiction of Huaidong, such as Xusi, Huaihai, eastern Zhejiang, southern Zhejiang, and eastern Fujian, had to integrate with Jiangning in many affairs, such as finance, civil affairs, military administration, and supervision, and all the people in Huaidong had to gradually grasp the core power of Jiangning, so how could they have the heart and energy to engage in two sets of teams?

But at the moment, Lin Jian can't talk about a complete grasp of Jiang Ning.

The advantage of integration is to improve efficiency and save manpower, but the disadvantage is that it is inevitable to be restrained by Zhang Yan and other foreign officials who oppose Huaidong.

In addition to supporting the soldiers and horses of Huaidong, Jiangning's finances also had to support the armies of Huaixi, Chizhou, Jinghu, and Xiangtan.

Once Huaidong is fully integrated into Jiangning, other forces will inevitably have the confidence to share Jiangning's financial endowment with Huaidong - so Lin Jian wants to integrate Huaidong into Jiangning on the one hand, and on the other hand, he must retain a piece of land for himself to ensure that he can flexibly adjust his financial and military resources in the future.

Chongzhou is the foundation of Huaidong's real rise, Hecheng, Jiangmen, Yudong, Sisheng and other places, are Lin Tie in the management of Chongzhou, the new four counties, in fact, is also the extension of Chongzhou - these five counties, roughly only less than one-tenth of the area currently controlled by Huaidong, but it is really the essence of Huaidong.

The five counties of Chongzhou directly controlled eighty percent of the shipbuilding and sea trade scale in the area controlled by Jiangning at this time, and Jiangning was destroyed, and almost all the weapons were concentrated in the five counties of Chongzhou. In addition, the annual output of the five counties of Chongzhou reached 2 million catties of refined iron and 8 million catties of rough iron, accounting for more than 50% of the area controlled by Jiangning; The scale of employment in the weaving and dyeing workshops in the five counties of Chongzhou has reached more than 20,000 people, the Heishui Foreign Shipping Company and the Huaidong Qianzhuang General Ship are all in Chongzhou, and the main garrison port of the Huaidong Water Battalion is within the scope of the five counties of Chongzhou - for many years, the military maintenance of the Huaidong Army, the proportion of direct supply in the five counties of Chongzhou has reached almost seventy.

The five counties of Chongzhou are the areas with the most thorough implementation of the new land policy, with more than 4 million mu of cultivated land, land development and construction of ditches and embankments, which have surpassed the five prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, and are mainly planted with rice, wheat, cotton and tung trees. Although the tax and grain directly collected from the five counties of Chongzhou are only maintained at about 500,000 stones, the rice grain that can be requisitioned by the people of the five counties every year is also about one million stones.

There are about one million people in the five counties of Chongzhou, and they are also the most deeply affected by the forest and the most loyal, and the soldiers account for about half of them, and Ding Zhuang is in the army, which is the backbone of the Huaidong Army.

By splitting the soil and sealing it, cutting out the elite area of Huaidong and controlling the five counties of Chongzhou in his hands, it means that outside the Jiangning financial system, Lin Jian can directly control resources worth more than 3 million taels of silver every year for military preparation, without being constrained by others.

Although Yizhou is still only input-only and has no output, Yizhou Island has great potential; In fact, Lin Jian cut his investment in Yizhou Island at this time, and he was still able to draw out two or three hundred thousand stone grains every year with a considerable amount of coal and iron.

It's just that Lin Jian pays more attention to the later potential of Yizhou Island after development, and does not kill chickens and eggs at this time.

The five counties of Chongzhou and Yizhou will be separated and listed outside Jiangning's finances, and other regional affairs in Huaidong will be integrated into Jiangning, so that Huaidong can share Jiangning's finances with Huaixi, Chizhou, Xiangtan, and Jinghu in accordance with the ratio of troops.

How do outsiders know the reality of Huaidong?

The Huaidong soldiers and horses have actually controlled Huaidong, Xusi, Jiangnan, Liangzhejiang, and Mindong, and the four towns of Huaixi, Chizhou, Jinghu, and Xiangtan combined, and the areas controlled by the four towns can only be comparable to Huaidong, and their financial strength is far weak.

In this case, Lin Jian was willing to hand over the rest of Huaidong to "co-govern" at this time, and it was not too much to just cut off the five counties of Chongzhou for feudal rule.

I think that at the end of the Han Dynasty, Cao Thief ordered the princes to order the princes, and directly cut half of Shandong as a fiefdom. Comparatively speaking, Lin Lian's appetite is still small, only five counties, in fact, four counties are still new. Hecheng and Jiangmen were still barren grasslands five or six years ago, Yudong was where the queen mother's palace was located, but Lin Tie did not have the intention of returning, Shengsi County was simply the island occupied by the East China Sea Kou before, and Yizhou Island was a wild and miasma place.

*************

Wei Wei is one of the nine secretaries, and it is actually a false title added to Lin Lian's head, which shows that Lin Jian has the right to control the palace ban, and combines the two positions of the governor of Beijing and the privy envoy, which also concentrates the military power of the three levels of the guard, Gyeonggi defense and the Privy Council on Lin Lian alone.

The Privy Council is parallel to the six ministries, and its subordinate supervisors and officials are also established and recommended by Lin Tie for appointment, and the Huaidong people will not be dispersed to the six ministries on a large scale for the time being, and they are mainly gathered in the Privy Council to take charge of the military and government with Zuo Lin Tie.

In addition to Lin Xuwen as the deputy minister and leader of the household department, and Huang Jinnian in charge of the military department, Huang Jinnian's son Huang Chengen entered the criminal department as a foreign officer, and Ge Siyu will enter the Ministry of Industry to serve as a waiter and preside over the water conservancy construction under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry; Lin Tingli will transfer Jiang Ning to the Metropolitan Procuratorate as the left deputy capital imperial history. Lin Xulu was famous, Lin Ting entered the center, he returned to Dongyang to serve as the prefect of Dongyang, and continued to control Dongyang Mansion on behalf of the Lin family.

The five counties of Chongzhou are listed separately, and Hailing Mansion is left with Hailing, Xinghua, Gaocheng, and Jianling four counties. In addition, everyone else basically entered the Privy Council system.

Lin Jian also believes in "power from the barrel of a gun", and does not want to give outsiders restraint in military and political affairs, and the Huaidong people should also mainly unite around the Privy Council, and should not be dispersed.

After the name of righteousness was decided, Lin Jian set up the Privy Council with great fanfare.

According to the previous structure of the Huaidong Military Division, the Privy Council still set up three divisions of the Navy, the Infantry Army, and the Ma Army, as well as food and equipment, combat training, teaching, law and discipline, military intelligence, military doctors, etc., Cao Ziang will be transferred back to Jiangning to supplement the shortage of manpower, and Qin Chengzu, Gao Zongting, Song Fu, Lin Mengde, Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang, Wang Chengfu, Sun Wenbing, Hu Zhicheng, Zhu Ai, Wu Jiye and others, and Yu Wangao's sons and nephews Yu Wencheng and Yu Wenbei were recruited into the Privy Council as generals to support the Privy Council system.

The five counties of Chongzhou were divided into Chongguo, and Lin Jian appointed Li Shuyi as the minister of Chongguo, with the same rank as the prefect, to take charge of civil affairs; However, if there is a special person in charge of maritime trade, the gold bureau, the workshop, ordnance, ironwork, the shipyard and other affairs, Sun Fengyi, Zhou Guangdong and others are still in charge, and those who are not in charge are directly led by the Privy Council, and finally belong to the Privy Council supervision system.

The Changshan Army, Chongcheng Army, Huaiyang Army, and Fengli Army under the jurisdiction of the Infantry Army Division remained unchanged, and the Tianjin Navy was transferred to Jiangning except for the elite of the first brigade who remained in Chongzhou as a guard camp.

Lin Jian did not intend to divide the Praetorian Guard and the Beijing Camp Army into two systems, which would only increase the trouble, he also served as the commander of the guard and the governor of the Beijing Camp, and actually referred to the Beijing Camp Army and the Janissary as the Forbidden Camp, and also imitated the Privy Council to divide the three armies of water, infantry and horses:

Set up a forbidden camp naval army, the original Jinhai, Miaoshan and other departments of the naval army were incorporated, supplemented by the soldiers, the number of soldiers was set at 10,000, with Yang Yihang as the commander.

Set up a forbidden battalion infantry army, with Zhao Hudu as the commander, with the main force of the Yuanjin Navy as the skeleton, and supplemented the baggage troops, with a fixed number of 20,000 soldiers, responsible for the defense of the imperial city, the outer city and the counties of Gyeonggi.

Set up a forbidden camp for the horse army, with Zhou Pu as the commander. Huaidong is so cavalry, and he can only hang two sets of signs in one team.

Of course, the three armies of the forbidden camp are also under the jurisdiction of the three divisions of the Privy Council, so as to ultimately ensure the centralized use of military and political power.

The forbidden camp army mainly garrisoned and controlled Jiangning, and the task of fighting was lightened, so it was not the focus of Lin Lian's next step.

The eastern part of Zhejiang is free from the threat of war, and the two prefectures of Hailing and Huai'an will be directly under the jurisdiction of the six departments of Jiangning, but in eastern Fujian, western Zhejiang, Xusi, Chizhou, Huaixi, Jinghu, Xiangtan, Nanyang, and Hezhong, they are still directly facing the threat of war.

Yue Lengqiu, as the deputy envoy of the privy council and the envoy of Jiangxi, also led the head of the Chizhou camp and the governor of the Chizhou government, and was in charge of the Chizhou camp, with a limit of 60,000 soldiers, and transferred money and grain.

Dong Yuan was the deputy privy envoy, the Henan envoy and the head of the Huaixi camp, responsible for the Huaixi defense area, and the rank of secretary of the military department. The number of soldiers is limited to 110,000 soldiers, and after deducting local taxes, money and grain will be allocated again.

Hu Wenmu served as the deputy privy envoy in charge of the Jinghu camp, responsible for the Jinghu defense area, with a total of 60,000 troops.

Zhang Han, the former prefect of Tanzhou and the superintendent of the army, was appointed as the deputy envoy of the privy council, with the rank of squire of the military department, and also the head of the Tanzhou camp, responsible for the Xiangtan defense area, with a total of 50,000 soldiers.

The eastern provinces and counties of Zhejiang were freed from the threat of war, the eastern Zhejiang battalion was abolished, and the western Zhejiang battalion was set up, Fu Qinghe was also in charge, and the commander of the Shuibu was set up, and Zhou Tong was appointed as the commander of the infantry army of the western Zhejiang battalion, and the original eastern Zhejiang battalion army, except for the necessary local troops, the infantry army was incorporated into the Chongcheng army, and the number of troops increased by 40,000; Ren Su Pinxiao was the commander of the water army in the west of Zhejiang, and Sun Wenhui was the deputy commander, and the soldiers and horses of the water battalion in the original east of Zhejiang were integrated with the Bai Nao army, with a number of 10,000 soldiers.

Set up the camp of Fujian eastbound, with Zhou Tong as the general manager, and the soldiers and horses under its jurisdiction are the original Fujian eastward camp army unchanged.

The Xuzhou camp was set up, Liu Miaozhen served as the head of the camp, and the number of troops combined with the Xu Si camp army was also increased to 40,000.

In addition, the three counties of Yijiang, Qingyang and Nanyang were separated from Chizhou Mansion and merged into a defense area together with Luzhou Mansion, which was Jiangning Xiping, Ao Canghai also led Yijiang Town Guard, and the Donghai Prefecture Army was incorporated into the Changshan Battalion with a total of 40,000 soldiers. The Third Water Battalion, which is mainly based on river warships, will change guards with the Second Water Battalion and enter the Yijiang River to assist in the defense, and the actual strength of Huaidong Tun in Yijiang and Luzhou will be as many as 60,000 people.

Shanyang is the most important support on the inner side of the Xu Si defense line, and the Shanyang, Siyang, Mukou and other walled cities are divided, and when the first defense area is listed, Ning Zechen also leads Shanyang to defend it, and the second water battalion will also be mainly stationed in Huaikou, with a total strength of about 40,000.

In addition to the local military equipment, the number of regular soldiers under the jurisdiction of Jiangning, compiled by the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, is about 520,000, of which the strength of Huaidong has increased and expanded, and has reached 240,000 at this time, and in addition to the local garrison soldiers and horses, the number of field infantry has reached 120,000.
