Since ancient times, there has been a tradition that "people with foreign surnames will not be crowned kings, and titles will not be broken." Even if the kings of the clan become vassals, they will not break the soil or join the people. In more than two hundred years, this tradition has been broken twice.
For example, one is to confer the surname of the Cao family as Guyuan County Prince, which resulted in the fact that the Cao family was separatist in Guanzhong; the other was to confer Shewenzhuang as the Marquis of Jin'an and cede the Jin'an Prefecture to stand on its own, but in the end there was a big trouble in the southeast - at this time, they were forced to
The situation is based on actual sealing to appreciate the achievements of "building a community and installing an ancestral temple".
During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, there was a feudal state named Chong, which was generally within the territory of West Qin County. Lin Fu used his efforts to rebuild the country and split the soil to seal the Chong state. Of course, he could not take the land from the Cao family, but wanted to seize Chongzhou, Hecheng,
The five counties of Jiangmen, Yudong, and Sisheng, as well as the barbaric land of Yizhou, were carved out as Chongguo fiefdoms.
Lin Fu did not have enough manpower to control the two teams of Jiangning and Huaidong respectively. The financial, civil affairs, military affairs, supervision and many other affairs of Xusi, Huaihai, eastern Zhejiang, southern Zhejiang, eastern Fujian and other places under the jurisdiction of Huaidong.
They have to integrate with Jiang Ning, and everyone in Huaidong has to gradually grasp the core power of Jiang Ning. How can they have the mind and energy to build two sets of teams?
But at the moment, Lin Fu can't say he has complete control over Jiang Ning.
The benefits of integration are improved efficiency and manpower savings. The disadvantage is that it is inevitably subject to the constraints of Zhang Yan and other foreign officials who are fighting against Huaidong.
In addition to supporting Huaidong troops and horses, Jiangning's finances also support Huaixi, Chizhou, Jinghu, Xiangtan and other armies.
Once Huaidong is fully integrated into Jiangning, other forces will inevitably share Jiangning's wealth with Huaidong - so Lin Fu wants to integrate Huaidong into Jiangning, and on the other hand, he must retain a piece of private land to ensure that
In the future, we can flexibly adjust our financial resources and military resources.
Chongzhou is the foundation for the true rise of Huaidong. Hecheng, Jiangmen, Yudong, Sisheng and other places are all four new counties established by Lin Fu after running Chongzhou. They are actually the extension of Chongzhou - among these five counties.
The land is generally 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 about 80% of the shipbuilding and maritime trade scale in the area controlled by Jiangning at this time. Jiangning was destroyed, and almost all the weapons manufacturing was concentrated in the five counties of Chongzhou. In addition, the five counties of Chongzhou produced refined iron annually.
It reached 2 million jins, and 8 million jins of rough iron, accounting for almost more than 50% of the area controlled by Jiangning; the number of employees in the weaving and dyeing factories in the five counties of Chongzhou reached more than 20,000, and the Heishui Shipping Company and Huaidong Bank
The headquarters are all in Chongzhou, and the main garrison ports of the Huaidong Water Camp are all within the five counties of Chongzhou - for many years, the proportion of Huaidong Army's military support directly supplied by the five counties of Chongzhou has reached almost 70%.
The five counties of Chongzhou are the areas that have implemented the new land policy most thoroughly. They have more than 4 million acres of arable land. The land development and construction of ditches, embankments, etc. have surpassed the five counties in the south of the Yangtze River. The cultivation of rice, wheat and cottonwood is the main area. Although the five counties of Chongzhou have more than 4 million acres of cultivated land.
The directly collected taxes and grains are only about 500,000 dan, but the amount of rice that the people of the five counties can purchase every year is also about 1 million dan.
There are approximately one million people in the five counties of Chongzhou. They are most deeply influenced by Lin Fu and are also the most loyal. Military households account for about half of them. There are young men and women serving in the army, who are the backbone of the Huaidong Army.
By breaking the soil and sealing it, cutting out the elite area of Huaidong and controlling the five counties of Chongzhou means that outside of Jiangning's financial system, Lin Fu can directly control more than three million taels of silver every year.
The resources are used for military preparation without being restricted by others.
Although Yizhou is currently only investing and has no output, Yizhou Island has great potential. In fact, Lin Fu reduced his investment in Yizhou Island at this time, and can still spare 200,000 to 300,000 stone grain every year.
of coal and iron.
It's just that Lin Fu paid more attention to the later potential of Yizhou Island after it was developed, and did not kill the goose that lays the goose to lay the eggs at this time.
Separate the five counties of Chongzhou and Yizhou separately and list them outside Jiangning's finance, and integrate other areas of Huaidong into Jiangning. Huaidong can openly compete with Huaixi, Chizhou, Xiangtan, and Jinghu according to the ratio of troops.
Share Jiangning's finances and save time. Zhang Yan, Cheng Yuqian and other senior ministers in the court were involved in the hype with Huaidong.
How can outsiders know the reality of Huaidong?
Huaidong soldiers and horses have actually controlled Huaidong, Xusi, Jiangnan, Liangzhejiang, Fujian and other areas. The total area controlled by the four towns of Huaixi, Chizhou, Jinghu, and Xiangtan can only be comparable to Huaidong's financial strength.
Far weaker.
Under such circumstances, Lin Fu was willing to hand over the other areas of Huaidong for "joint governance" at this time, and it was not too much to just secede the five counties of Chongzhou.
I remember that at the end of the Han Dynasty, when Cao Cao, a traitor, served the world and commanded the princes, he directly cut off half of Shandong as a fief. In comparison, Lin Fu's appetite was still small, with only five counties. In fact, four counties were newly established.
Hecheng and Jiangmen were still barren grasslands five or six years ago, but Yudong was where the Queen Mother's palace was. However, Lin Fu had no intention of returning it. Shengsi County was basically an island occupied by the East China Sea bandits, and Yizhou Island was even more barbaric and miasmatic.
place.
*************
Weiwei is one of the nine ministers. It is added to Lin Fu's head. It is actually a false title to show that Lin Fu has the power to control the palace. By combining the two positions of the governor of the capital and the privy envoy, the imperial guard and the capital are
The military power at the three levels of defense and the Privy Council was concentrated on Lin Fu.
The Privy Council is parallel to the Six Ministries, and under its jurisdiction are supervisors, ministers, prime ministers and other auxiliary officials. They are all established and recommended by Lin Fu. People from Huaidong will not be dispersed to the Six Ministries on a large scale for the time being. They will mainly gather in the Privy Council to assist Lin Fu.
Take charge of military affairs.
In addition to Lin Xuwen as deputy prime minister and the Ministry of Husbandry, and Huang Jinnian in charge of the Ministry of War, Huang Jinnian's son Huang Chengen entered the Ministry of Justice as a foreign minister, General Ge Siyu became the Minister of the Ministry of Works, in charge of water conservancy construction under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Works, and General Lin Tingli transferred Jiangning to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
He was appointed Zuo Deputy Capital Censor. Lin Xulu had a great reputation, and Lin Tingli was promoted to the central government, so he returned to Dongyang to serve as the prefect of Dongyang and continued to control Dongyang Mansion on behalf of the Lin family. After Chen Huawen handed over his military power, Lin Fu recommended him to serve as the prefect of Luzhou, which is also the case.
The reward for surrendering to Chen.
When the five counties of Chongzhou are listed separately, Hailing Prefecture is left with Hailing, Xinghua, Gaocheng and Jianling counties. Lin Fu recommended Wu Meijiu to know Hailing; apart from that, everyone else has basically entered the Privy Council system.
Lin Fu also believed in "power comes from the barrel of a gun" and did not want outsiders to control military affairs. People in Huaidong should mainly unite around the Privy Council and should not be scattered.
After the righteousness was settled here, Lin Fu established the Privy Council with great fanfare.
According to the previous structure of the Huaidong Military Division, the Privy Council still has three divisions of navy, infantry, and horse army, as well as food and equipment, combat training, teaching, discipline, military intelligence, and military medicine. Cao Ziang will be transferred back to Jiangning to supplement
Due to the shortage of manpower, together with Qin Chengzu, Gao Zongting, Song Fu, Lin Mengde, Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang, Wang Chengfu, Sun Wenbing, Hu Zhicheng, Zhu Ai, Wu Jiye and others, Yu Wancao's nephews Yu Wencheng and Yu Wenbei were recruited into the Privy Council as generals.
position to support the Privy Council system.
The five counties of Chongzhou were split into Chongguo, and Lin Fu appointed Li Shuyi as the Prime Minister of Chongguo, with the same rank as the prefect, to take charge of civil affairs; however, there were dedicated personnel in charge of maritime trade, Lijin Bureau, workshops, ordnance, ironworks, shipyards and other affairs.
Sun Fengyi, Zhou Guangdong and others are still in charge. Those who are not in charge are directly managed by the Privy Council, and ultimately fall under the supervisory system of the Privy Council.
The Changshan Army, Chongcheng Army, Huaiyang Army, and Fengli Army under the Infantry Department will remain unchanged. Except for the elite brigade of the Tianjin Navy, which stayed in Chongzhou as a guard camp, all others were transferred to Jiangning.
Lin Fu had no intention of dividing the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Guards into two systems, which would only cause trouble. He held the posts of captain of the guards and governor of the Imperial Guards. In fact, he collectively referred to the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Guards as the Imperial Guards, just like the Privy Council's division of water.
, Bu, Ma Sanjun:
The naval force of the Forbidden Camp was set up, and the former Jinhai, Miaoshan and other naval forces were incorporated, and the supply troops were supplemented. The number of soldiers was 10,000, with Yang Yihang as the capital commander.
A forbidden camp infantry force was set up, with Zhao Hudu as the commander and the main force of the former Tianjin navy as the skeleton, supplemented by supply troops. The number of soldiers was 20,000, and they were responsible for the defense of the imperial city, the outer city and the counties of Gyeonggi.
A forbidden camp was set up for the cavalry army, with Zhou Pu as the capital commander. Huaidong only had so few cavalry, and could only have one team with two sets of brands.
Of course, the three armies of the Forbidden Camp are also under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council's Shui Bu Ma San Division to ultimately ensure that military and political power can be used centrally.
The forbidden camp army mainly guards and controls Jiangning, and the combat tasks are reduced, so it is not the focus of Lin Fu's next step.
The eastern Zhejiang area is freed from the threat of war, and the two prefectures of Hailing and Huai'an will be transferred to the direct jurisdiction of the six departments of Jiangning. However, in eastern Fujian, western Zhejiang, Xusi, Chizhou, Huaixi, Jinghu, Xiangtan, Nanyang, Henan and other places
, are still directly facing the threat of war.
General Lin Fu set up a camp under the Privy Council to govern the military and administration of these places. Yue Lengqiu served as deputy envoy to the Privy Council, Jiangxi envoy and general manager of the Chizhou camp. He knew the affairs of the Chizhou government and was responsible for the Chizhou camp. The number of troops was limited to 60,000.
Pull out money and food.
Dong Yuan served as Deputy Privy Envoy, Henan Recruitment Envoy and General Manager of the Huaixi Expedition, responsible for the Huaixi Defense Area, and was given the title of Minister of the Ministry of War. The troop quota was limited to 110,000, and after deducting local taxes, additional money and food were allocated.
Hu Wenmu was appointed as the general manager of the Jinghu camp as the deputy privy envoy, responsible for the Jinghu defense area, with a total of 60,000 troops.
Zhang Han, the former magistrate of Tanzhou and superintendent of military preparations, was appointed deputy envoy to the privy council and had the title of Minister of War. He was also the general manager of the Tanzhou camp and was responsible for the Xiangtan defense area, with a total of 50,000 troops.
The prefectures and counties in eastern Zhejiang were freed from the threat of war. The eastern Zhejiang marching camp was abolished and a new Zhejiang marching camp was established. Fu Qinghe also took charge of the general administration and was divided into water and infantry commanders. Zhou Tong was appointed as the infantry commander of the western Zhejiang marching camp. The original Zhejiang marching camp was
Except for the necessary local garrison troops, all the infantry were incorporated into the Chongcheng Army, and the number of troops was increased by 40,000. Su Pinxiao was appointed as the commander of the water camp in the west of Zhejiang, and Sun Wenhui was appointed as the deputy commander. The troops and horses of the water camp in the east of Zhejiang were appointed.
Integrated with the Bai Nao Army, with a troop strength of 10,000.
The Fujian Marching Camp was set up, with Zhou Tong as the general manager, and the troops and horses under his jurisdiction remained the same as the original Mindong Marching Camp.
Xuzhou camp was set up, Liu Miaozhen was appointed as the general manager of the camp, and the number of troops combined with Xu Si camp army increased to 40,000.
In addition, the three counties of Yijiang, Qingyang, and Nanyang were separated from Chizhou Prefecture, and together with Luzhou Prefecture, were merged into a defense area, which was Jiangning Xiping, Ao Canghai and Yijiang Guards, and the Donghai Prefecture Army was organized into Changshan Camp
, with a troop strength of 40,000. The Third Water Battalion, which is mainly composed of inland river warships, will switch defenses with the Second Water Battalion and enter the Yijiang River to assist in defense. The actual strength of Huaidong stationed in Yijiang and Luzhou will be as many as 60,000.
Public.
Shanyang is the most important support on the inside of Xu Si's defense line. Shanyang, Siyang, Mukou and other cities are divided into the first defense zone. Ning Zechen will also lead Shanyang to guard the city. The second water camp will also be mainly stationed.
garrisoned at Huaikou, with a total force of about 40,000.
Excluding local military equipment, the number of regular soldiers under the jurisdiction of Jiangning, registered by the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, is approximately more than 520,000. Among them, the number of troops in Huaidong has increased and increased, and now it has reached 20
The number was 40,000. In addition to local garrison troops and naval forces, the field infantry numbered 120,000.
