Before returning to Mopan City, Zhang Yi still has a few important things to do.
He sent several groups of troops to completely eliminate the rebels in the kingdom, mainly Wu Rui's remnants, as well as the landlords and profiteers who obstructed the reform process.
Then he began to rectify the ranks of officials, especially the local bureaucracy.
Previously, under the arrangement of Zhang Yi, Xiaolong led officials from the Ministry of Justice to conduct private visits incognito and collected many evidences of officials violating the law and dereliction of duty.
Zhang Yi carried out drastic reforms and replaced 1,538 officials in one fell swoop. Most of the replacement officials came from the university he established, as well as officials with good reputations in the original local area.
Zhang Yi did not cut off the livelihood of the officials who were dismissed. Except for those who committed serious crimes and were sent to prison, the rest were all concentrated in Chang'an for study. Many of them are experienced and capable, and they can be given new jobs after reform.
work.
Very stable.
This major blood change in the kingdom did not cause any commotion, the officials confessed their crimes, the people were happy, and everything went smoothly.
In a word, strength.
Anyone who opposed Zhang Yi, whether it was Liu Guang, Wu Rui, or the terrifying tsar from the Northern Cold Land, was dead.
The wise King Liu Kai and the beautiful Princess Xiaoliu have firmly supported Zhang Yi from the beginning, which fully shows that the father and daughter have unique vision.
"Zhang Shoufu is a man of destiny."
"Zhang Shoufu is invincible in wisdom and courage, and unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness."
"There is no one more suitable to be the king than Zhang Shoufu."
"Zhang Shoufu is a once-in-a-thousand-year hero."
In every city in the Kingdom of China, people praised Zhang Yi in the streets and alleys. Some of them went to Chang'an in person and saw Zhang Yi himself. He was a heroic warrior!
Absolute strength, absolute authority.
Zhang Yi firmly sat on the throne.
His decree will spread to every corner of the kingdom at lightning speed.
…
In the Yangxin Hall of the Royal Palace, Zhang Yi and his brothers discussed matters. Participants included Xiaolong, Xiao Han, Niu Ben, Shi Gandang, Wang Zheng, Aser, and Xiaoliu who was responsible for recording.
Asir has a bold personality and is lovable. He was absorbed into the core team and ranked as one of the Seven Tigers of China. In Zhang Yi's mind, he should be one of the Eight Tigers of China, so he left a place for Chen Yiyi.
We are all our own people, and the atmosphere is relaxed and warm.
"Brother Yi, after we come back from Mopan City, we should go on a tour around the kingdom to see our magnificent rivers and mountains." Princess Xiaoliu said to her husband.
"Hahaha, Liu'er, of course," Zhang Yi said with a smile. He hadn't gone to Mopan City yet, and his schedule was scheduled later. "Western China has mountains and rivers, the majestic Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the vast Tianshan pastures.
,We must go, Liu’er!”
"Brother Yi, don't forget the prairie in the north. There are still several hostile tribes there. We must integrate all the prairie into China." Asl said.
The brothers clapped their hands and cheered.
Zhang Yi nodded and laughed, that’s right.
In fact, whether in the west or in the north, many areas are still in a state of separatist rule by princes. In the past, the kingdom did not have enough power to pacify those princes.
This is an important and sacred task.
"We need to establish military regions," Zhang Yi thought, "My idea is to establish four military regions in the east, west, south and north."
"Okay, brother Yi, we happen to have four generals." Xiaolong said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, but that doesn't mean that we will be separated from each other in the future?" Shi Gandang sighed.
"Brother Yi, I would rather be your guard captain than go to such a far place." Niu Ben said worriedly. Now, under Xiaoliu's correction, he began to learn formal Mandarin and could no longer say "I" every time.
"It's inappropriate for Daniu and Xiaoshi to say that. It's because of brothers that you have to guard the frontier, so that your sworn brother can do important things with peace of mind." Xiao Han said.
Niu Ben and Shi Gandang remained silent.
"Xiaohan is right. If you don't trust someone absolutely, how could he entrust you with such an important task?" Xiaoliu said, "Who will go if you don't go?"
"Sister-in-law, let's go wherever we go."
The two people quickly expressed their opinions.
Zhang Yi looked at his brothers. They were all young people in their early twenties. Niu Ben and Shi Gandang were not particularly mature yet, while Xiaolong, Xiao Han, Wang Zheng and Aser were much more mature.
The most mature generals are the two marshals Zhu Hao and Yang Ting, as well as Chen Yiyi, Deng Yun and Du Lin, but unfortunately they are not in their own camp.
However, this is Zhang Yi’s core team.
This group of brothers all worked hard with him with their heads in their hands, and they managed to accomplish miraculous things by relying on the spirit of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.
It takes time. Given time, Niu Ben and Shi Gandang will also become stable commanders. Zhang Yi has no doubt about this.
"I think about it too, how nice it would be for brothers to be together every day," Zhang Yi sighed, "but now we are no longer in Mopan City. The place is bigger, there are more people, and the responsibilities on our shoulders are also heavier."
"Brother Yi, brothers will not let you down. It was Brother Yi who brought us up. If it weren't for Brother Yi, I would still be a small leader in Shigu Village. How could I be a first-class general!" Shi Gandang sighed with emotion. road.
He mentioned his bandit history again, Xiaoliu punched him on the shoulder, and everyone laughed.
"By the way, Liu'er, did you kick Vice Premier Sun?" Zhang Yi asked.
"Oh, if Brother Yi didn't tell me, I almost forgot about it, but Brother Yi, how did you know it was me who kicked him?" Xiao Liu said in surprise.
"I don't understand you yet, others are just pretending not to see you, hahaha." Zhang Yi laughed heartily.
"Oh, sister-in-law, why don't you just kick him to death, that guy!" Niu Ben said regretfully.
The brothers burst into laughter.
…
After joking for a while, Zhang Yi determined the four major military regions.
The Northern Military Region is headed by General Asr, commanding 10,000 grassland cavalry and 20,000 wolf cavalry. The defense area is the vast grassland north of the Great Wall. In other words, the Great Wall is their last line of defense, which extends the territory of the original kingdom to The north advanced thousands of miles.
The Western Military Region is headed by General Wang Zheng, who commands 20,000 wolf cavalry. The base camp is located in Qinghai Lake. There are many ethnic groups here and the situation is relatively complicated. General Wang Zheng is a stable man and has rich experience in interpersonal relationships and can handle ethnic relations well.
The Eastern Military Region is headed by General Niu Ben, who commands 20,000 wolf cavalry and is stationed in Shangluo City, mainly to defend Greater China and Little China. From Mopan City, Jiyuan City, Tongguan to Ankang, this vast area is under Niu Ben's guard .
Shangluo City is only half a day's journey from Chang'an. Niu Ben is the closest of the four military regions to Zhang Yi. This is taking care of him. Niu Ben is very happy. To be honest, the person Zhang Yi is most worried about is Daniu. He still needs Exercise and grow.
The Southern Military Region is headed by General Shi Gandang, who commands 20,000 wolf cavalry and is stationed in Nanchong to guard the southwest region. Little China's sphere of influence has reached Yunnan, and they are also coveting the fertile Land of Abundance.
