The powerful soldiers and generals of the Sixth General Manager are all under the direct control of Guo Ning, and the number of shadow households under them will quickly increase to more than 150,000 within this year. In addition, Han Xuan's Liaohai defense kept the title unchanged.
In addition to the Six General Managers and the Second Jiedu, all states have capital commanders and envoys. Each state's commander envoys, like the Jiedushi envoys, commanded the local defense forces, but they were usually not mobilized into battles in an organized manner and were supervised by the Xuanfu envoys who promoted Zhao Jue.
As reserve soldiers, the state commanders are mainly responsible for military training, farming and public security, which means they merge the responsibilities of the metropolitan inspectors under the local military governors.
Previously, the capital commander of Laizhou was Jing Anmin, and Shi Poli was responsible for specific affairs. The capital commanders in Dengzhou and Ninghai Prefecture were Ma Bao and Hao Duan respectively.
The treatment of the town defense army is far worse than that of the field army. Originally, there were very few people with enough jobs. This time, taking advantage of the great expansion of his territory, Guo Ning mobilized more than 10,000 defense troops from the three prefectures of Denglai and enriched them into many military prefectures. At the same time, he also roughly equipped all the households.
As for the specific arrangements for this area, Guo Ning entrusted it to Monk Luo, Wang Shixian, Zhao Jue and Shi Poli for discussion beforehand, and the four of them had already come up with a plan.
At present, Guo Ning controls a total of 17 military prefectures in Shandong and Liaodong, and has 17 capital commanders. The number of soldiers in each department varies, ranging from five hundred to more than a thousand. With the deepening of local control, it will gradually expand to about two thousand.
Guo Ning has recently come to realize that in order to take on various responsibilities, he cannot rely solely on being brave and good at fighting. Therefore, he specifically instructed that in the future, if officers at the level of captain general in the field army want to be promoted, they must go through the training of serving as commanders of various states. Only after they have experience in handling many trivial matters on their own, can they be qualified to be transferred to the field army. , became the right-hand man of the commander-in-chief of military affairs.
Because of this order, Gao Xin, who had performed meritorious services with Li Ting in Juzhou and Mizhou, Dong Jin, the leader of Guo Ning's bodyguard, as well as Zhang Qian, Zhang Hui, Guo Alin and others were all mobilized here. Got out.
These people are all rising stars who have been paying attention to Guo Ning for a long time, so the direction of their deployment is also particular.
For example, Gao Xin was familiar with the group of merchants Zhang Kai, Zhou Keshan and Zhao Bin who were based in Jiaoxi, Mizhou. So now he was transferred to Haizhou, just in time to take care of the local Wandu Village, which was the new stronghold of the maritime merchants.
Zhang Hui and Guo Alin were both fierce generals, so they were stationed in Dizhou and Zizhou, just in time to continue to eliminate Li Quan's local influence.
Guo Ning's personal army, the field army of the Sixth General Manager, and the soldiers and horses of the Second Jiedu and Seventeenth Commands totaled nearly 70,000 people. Among them, there are half elite soldiers and half ordinary soldiers.
The family members of these soldiers, plus the people from shadow households who will be included in the system in the near future, account for more than 80% of the current Shandong East Road household registration. This is Guo Ning’s basic base, and his corresponding household registration and Baojia ownership are also They are all being compiled urgently.
Having said this, Guo Ning asked casually: "Have the total household registration numbers come out? I heard that everyone is very busy these days?"
Before Yi La Chucai could say anything, a young man sitting next to him became too nervous and jumped up suddenly.
He stammered: "The numbers are out, out, out!"
This young man is Li Ye, also known as Renqing, a mathematical talent recommended by Du Shisheng.
Li Ye's father, Li Xun, was an old friend of Du Shisheng, but because he had served as a promotion official under Hu Shahu, he was now demoted to a civilian position. Not long after Li Ye arrived in Shandong, he became an indispensable assistant for the assassination of Chu Cai.
After this war, Li Ye and his people were also handling the huge data collection on population, household registration, acres of land, grain, materials, and even the distribution of minerals in various states, commercial circulation, and military money in and out.
Guo Ning remembered that the Li Ye he saw a while ago was a fair-skinned and somewhat elegant young man. When I saw him now, I felt that his face was paler and he had two more dark circles under his eyes. At first glance, he looked like a panda that had lost weight due to hunger.
Everyone laughed and teased Li Ye a few words, then moved Chu Cai to continue reporting.
Li Ye's busy work was indeed not in vain. Just last night, the summary of figures was completed, and only a later on-site inspection was left to review. According to current calculations, there are more than 38,000 military households and shadow households combined, with a population of over 1.3 million men and women.
In the early years of Taihe, there were 308,000 households, just enough to be the size of Jinan Prefecture, and less than one-third of the size of Shandong East Road. Because the war caused many families to fall apart, the number of people in each household dropped sharply, so the total number of people was only one-sixth of what Shandong East Road was in its heyday.
But this is already a large enough number.
For this reason, Guo Ning added the post of military transport officer to the Xuanfu Envoy in Shandong under his subordinates. The transfer officer is concurrently served by Yi La Chucai, and his deputy is Yang Chengzhi, Yi La Chucai's old friend.
This position had not been seen in the Daijin system before, but was taken from the Southern Dynasty, so there was no rank at all. It was purely a staff member of Guo Ning's private office. But with Guo Ning's authorization, the transfer officer actually took charge of the wealth, food and daily administrative management of more than one million people.
Like other appointments, this was of course based on the premise of ensuring the combat effectiveness of the army, but at the same time, it was also a means of evacuating local officials stationed by the imperial court.
Elite field troops directly under the Xuanfu Envoy were stationed in the local area; public security was controlled by the Capital Command and Envoy Department; available officials were directly appointed by the Xuanfu Envoy of Shandong; if you wanted to make a difference in civil affairs, it was difficult to bypass Yili Chu. Even if the Secretary for Civil Affairs is bypassed...
Most of the people have become the shadows of the army, and those who are responsible for managing them as the army transfer officers are still Yili Chucai.
With such insurance, Shandong is truly Guo Ning’s Shandong. Besides the imperial court system, these brand-new systems will also take root deeply in the local area, and no one can stop them.
After all the appointments were made, Guo Ning stood up and looked around at everyone: "How is it? Is there anything else you want to add?"
Everyone knows it, and it’s very thorough.
"If not, just follow this arrangement. I know everyone is working hard, but time waits for no one, and there is no room for idleness and laziness. Before the end of October, everyone should quickly familiarize themselves with their new positions. Those who should be recruited should go to recruit troops, and those who should be comforted should be appeased. Go and appease the people, and do it with your heart. I put my word in front of you, and if you do it well, you will be rewarded. If you do it poorly or if you are incompetent, you will be punished!"
Dozens of civil and military personnel all bowed down and said: "I obey the orders of the envoy!"
After a pause, Guo Ning smiled again and said, "Renqing is the only one who needs to rest. I'll grant you five days' leave. You can have a good sleep!"
Li Ye suddenly raised his head and flashed his two panda eyes again. He asked happily: "Really?"
Chu Cai, who was beside him, tugged on Li Ye's robe and said repeatedly: "Don't even think about it! Let's talk about it next month, not this month!"
Everyone laughed again and stood up.
Now that the business had been settled, he called the officials to come in and presented them with their official credentials and letters. After all, everyone loves getting promoted and making a fortune. Many people held official seals and paid homage to Guo Ning again, respectfully and gratefully. There was a lot of excitement in the hall. That night, the military mansion held another night banquet to celebrate the achievements of the generals.
