Among the many civil servants in the Great Xia Dynasty today, apart from Shen Yi and Bu Zhi, the two founding heroes who defected relatively early, the people Wang Jing admires the most are Gao Xi and Zhang Juzheng.
Other top civil servants, such as Xie An, Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Gu Yong and others, are somewhat less interesting.
Gao Xin was capable of both civil and military affairs. Not only did he have a very high strategic vision, he could command hundreds of thousands of troops, he could also assist the Zuo King in handling internal affairs and harmonizing Yin and Yang.
Zhang Juzheng could not lead troops, but he almost reached the extreme of a civil servant in handling government affairs.
The laws of the dynasty, the administration of officials, water transportation, river engineering, and the adjustment of officials were all handled with ease and things were done very satisfactorily.
Among the five future bachelors of the Ministry of Government Affairs, Wang Jing has secretly chosen Zhang Juzheng.
Many of the courtiers in the palace are people with sharp minds.
After hearing Wang Jing's arrangements for Zhang Juzheng and Xie An, they both understood. But they didn't have any objections, because neither Xie An nor Zhang Juzheng were unknown people.
In other dynasties, if such top talents went to seek refuge, they would definitely be high-ranking officials and well-paid, and their treatment would even be higher than that of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Now they are only allowed to serve as the chief ministers of the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine and secret documents department, which is already a bit under-matched.
If the treatment is low, the reputation of the Daxia Dynasty will be affected if word spreads.
"As for Lu Xun, Wei Rui, Xie Xuan, Tan Daoji and others, if you want to train elite soldiers in the army, you can invite these people to train. Once the elite soldiers are trained, it will probably be time to continue to expand outwards!"
"At that time, they can take their well-trained elite soldiers to fight with the army and make meritorious deeds!"
Wang Jing didn't put much thought into the generals.
Because the general's thinking is very simple, that is, to talk about military merit. If there is no military merit, even if the king of heaven joins the army, the soldiers below will be dissatisfied.
Many military generals who defected not long ago, including Tan Daoji, Lu Xun and his son. Wei Rui is a general and prime minister, and he will not get angry just for temporary treatment.
As long as Wang Jing has their names in his mind and gives them the opportunity to make meritorious deeds during foreign campaigns in the future, they will have no objections.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
After hearing this, Gao Xi expressed his praise and asked Lu Xun, Wei Rui and others to train troops, and they happened to work together with the reorganization of Daxia's soldiers.
"Well, let's talk about these things today. Daxia is newly established, and there are many things and complicated affairs. I will trouble you all to spend more time on it during this time!"
Wang Jing pinched his eyebrows and said.
Shen Yi, Gao Xi and others didn't even dare to say anything. When they saw that Wang Jing didn't continue to speak, they all left.
As Wang Jing said, the current affairs of the Great Xia Dynasty not only require Wang Jing to constantly read memorials from various places and adjust the troops and horses stationed in various places, but they, the ministers, also have to deal with countless things every day.
Now Wang Jing has ordered the establishment of provinces, the selection of officials to fill various places, and the transportation of grain and grass to the three general administrations... Everything requires the continuous operation of the six central departments.
When the six ministries and local officials were short of manpower, Shen Yi also petitioned to hold the imperial examination again and conduct Enke selection.
Historically, whenever the emperor ascended the throne or when the world needed to celebrate, the emperor would decree the establishment of Enke to enrich his own wings and win over the world's scholars.
When the Daxia Dynasty was newly established, it was also necessary to set up Enke to attract scholars and scholars from all over Daxia and the surrounding areas, and spread the reputation of the Daxia Dynasty in all directions.
There are now seven major provinces in the dynasty, three of which have just been established.
There are thousands of officials and officials needed by various prefectures, counties, and towns alone. Just promoting the original officials is far from enough. There are also inspections and mayors of various towns and villages. These lowest officials are The foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty’s imperial power sent to the countryside.
Now is the opportunity to found the country. No matter what difficulties there are, Wang Jing must stick to this foundation.
Otherwise, when the power of those gentry and rural sages grows in the future, it will not be so easy for Wang Jing to send imperial power to the countryside.
After Wang Jing summoned the important officials from the three provinces.
The center of Yangzhou and various provinces and counties began to get busy.
The Central Committee first circulated letters to various places to inform all officials of the dynasty's latest policies, and then distributed the documents to various places. The Ministry of Personnel began to select officials, and the Ministry of Rites prepared encores.
The Ministry of Industry mobilized captured and defeated soldiers, continuously formed labor camps, and prepared to build roads to speed up the construction of the three major provinces and continue to build cloud cars.
The Ministry of Punishment and the Secret Supervisor jointly revised the laws and punishments of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The central government established a new Ministry of Internal Affairs and established a Department of Commerce...
At the local level, after the promotion and exchange of provincial envoys, prefects, and county magistrates, these local officials also quickly entered the state, because everyone knew that now was a good opportunity to perform meritorious services.
The three major provinces have just been established. As long as they perform well and have outstanding political achievements, they don't have to worry about being promoted.
When the dynasty was newly established, the atmosphere was completely different from when the dynasty was complete.
When a dynasty is newly established, all officials, both civil and military, from the central government to the localities, regardless of their personalities, are dedicated to the development of the dynasty and think about how to make political achievements and make contributions.
Let the dynasty continue to grow, and as the dynasty grows, they will benefit from it. Every time they expand their territory, they will get opportunities for promotion and transfer.
After the dynasty is complete and mature, the territory will basically not change, and the number of officials will remain at a certain number.
This situation will significantly narrow the career path for middle- and lower-level officials. Even if you make meritorious service, you may not be promoted. At this time, the officialdom is about seniority, taking sides, as well as intrigues and intrigues.
If officials are not united and have other ideas, the official atmosphere of the entire dynasty will also change accordingly.
for these.
Wang Jing has read many history books and has grown up over the years, so he is well aware of this. However, these are inevitable situations when the dynasty develops to a certain extent. Even if he has shocking power, he cannot change people's hearts.
When various places began to stabilize the place, cultivate fields, and organize households to integrate the people.
Following Wang Jing's edict, the Privy Council, the Ministry of War and the soldiers stationed in various places began to select warriors and prepare to train elites.
Lu Xun, Lu Kang, Tan Daoji, Wei Rui, Xie Xuan, Chen Qingzhi...
The generals who defected not long ago, as well as Chen Qingzhi, who defected during the Southern Expedition, were all arranged to go to Liuhe, Chuzhou and other places to select elites for rigorous training.
…
Three hundred miles north of Liuhe.
In the wilderness, a team of tens of thousands of people was divided into nine parts. The roar was loud and loud. The energy of these soldiers was as real as wolves and tigers, and their eyes looked at people with a hint of ferocity.
These people are the elites selected from the two million soldiers of Daxia.
On the general stage in the distance, two figures wearing armor and stomach stood together. One of them held an order flag in his hand. As the order flag changed, the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the wilderness also changed their formations.
Every time the formation changes, there will be military turmoil in the void that ordinary people cannot see.
The powerful military spirit is like smoke, rushing into the sky.
These military auras are mighty, but weak and weak, and cannot be gathered into a group. However, every time the military formation changes, these mighty but weak military auras condense and shrink for a while.
It's like brewing and transforming.
If a strong person who is good at observing Qi observes carefully, he will be able to see that every time the military formation changes, the mighty military Qi condenses, and the extremely terrifying and boundless evil energy gradually gushes out.
As the military formation changes and evil spirits take shape, the physical potential of the many elite soldiers in the wilderness will also be stimulated to a certain extent.
Without going to the battlefield, the physical strength can be rapidly improved.
In the military formation.
Military attachés from more than a hundred households seemed to have mastered a more profound method of luck. As the military formation changed, their breathing gradually moved closer to the same frequency.
The evil auras of their soldiers converged on them under the influence of the military formation. Every time they breathed in and out, their bodies improved several times that of ordinary soldiers.
The higher the status in the military formation, the faster the cultivation speed.
There are two methods of military training: individual and mass. Personal training is to temper oneself with the evil spirit of the battlefield on the battlefield, constantly becoming stronger, and growing to the extreme to become an invincible battlefield general.
And gathering the crowd... is the method of military formation. If you practice the method of military formation to its peak, even an ordinary person can become a qualified military commander. Regular military training can increase the speed of cultivation, but the speed is not as fast as on the real battlefield. Strong. You can also use the power of your soldiers to strengthen yourself on the battlefield.
At this time, the tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the wilderness were a typical military formation method of mass gathering.
"The general deserves to be a famous general in the world. If this Nine Palaces Chain Formation is practiced, it will cycle endlessly. It will have the strongest endurance on the battlefield and be the most resistant to hard battles..."
On the general stage, one of the generals praised softly.
He was wearing the thinnest light armor, and his figure looked relatively thin. His eyes were like stars, extremely deep, and seemed to contain boundless wisdom. Eyes can see into people's hearts.
The general holding the command flag next to him also has eyes like bright stars, handsome appearance and elegant temperament.
Both of them looked like scholars and Confucian scholars, not peerless commanders capable of commanding hundreds of thousands of people!
The person who spoke was Wei Rui, who was known as the number one general in Nanliang.
The general holding the command flag and commanding the elite troops to train and fight was Lu Xun.
What they train is not ordinary elite soldiers.
But a special type of military force, a military formation!
For example, Xie Xuan mastered the training method of Beifu soldiers. Beifu soldiers created the top special arms of Liu Song Dynasty. They were able to fight on foot, on horseback, and on water. They were very comprehensive.
And the number of soldiers in this branch is also quite large, with a minimum of eight thousand and a maximum of thirty thousand.
The 30,000 elite soldiers of Beifu can withstand ten or even twenty times the enemy's force if used well.
There is also the White Robe Army under Chen Qingzhi's control, which is proficient in infantry and cavalry warfare and good at attacking fortresses. The number of soldiers and horses is 7,000. Jiefan soldiers trained by Lu Kang are good at mountains and jungles, and their number is five thousand...
Beifu soldiers, white robe army, these two, white horse cavalry, white ear elite soldiers, and Jiefan soldiers obtained from Soochow, there are five special arms in total.
These special arms, even the most narrow-purpose Jiefan soldiers, are elites who can match a hundred on the battlefield.
However, when hundreds of thousands of troops fight in the field or attack a city, these special units will be subject to certain restrictions due to the number of people.
Hundreds of thousands of troops faced each other, the formations were horizontal and the troops were powerful. If there were no flaws, even the most comprehensive Beifu army would not dare to resist the attack head-on.
When large armies fight, more and more attention will be paid to military formations in the future.
The stronger the general's personal strength, the greater the army's dependence on the military formation.
Xie Xuan and Chen Qing went to train special forces.
Lu Xun and Wei Rui each selected 50,000 elite soldiers to train military formations near Liuhe.
They were all Confucian generals who came from famous families. They were not known for their bravery. The reason why they could win every battle on the battlefield was because of their own command, strategy, and the formation of the army.
The Eight-door Golden Lock mastered by Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Ke, the Nine-Palace Continuous Formation inherited from Lu Xun's family, and the Four Fenglinhuoshan Military Formations inherited from Sun Quan's family, etc.
Wang Jing specially set up a library to house these military skills.
As long as generals have made meritorious deeds, they can enter the library and choose one to study. Ordinary soldiers can obtain military training methods based on their military merits.
When a general makes meritorious service, he will definitely receive more benefits than an ordinary soldier.
The two of them each selected 50,000 elite troops to train. The training places were adjacent to each other, so they usually communicated with each other... They were both top ninth-level commanders, and they were the same batch who defected to Wang Jing.
As they interacted with each other, their friendship became increasingly deeper.
Lu Xun looked modest and just smiled.
Not long ago, he went to watch Wei Rui's military training. Wei Rui held Ruyi in his hand and stood on a high platform to command casually. The formation of the army was like flowing clouds and flowing water.
The two of them spent the same time training, but Wei Rui's training speed and the formation of military formations were much faster than him.
Although the two people are in similar realms.
However, there are still some gaps in the research on the art of war and military formations, as well as in troop training and command.
obviously.
Wei Rui's troop training speed at this time, as well as his ability to command on the spot, were still higher than Lu Xun's. If displayed in numbers, Wei Rui's command could be as high as ninety-nine.
Lu Xun's commanding power was estimated to be only ninety-seven.
In history, Wei Rui personally commanded hundreds of thousands of troops from Nanliang to fight against the Northern Wei Dynasty. He defeated the army that Yuan Ying and Yang Dayan killed, and fled alone. In terms of ability alone, he was able to suppress Cao Jingzong and Pei Sui, and in later generations. The famous Chen Qingzhi.
He is the well-deserved first general of Nanliang. As soon as he joined the Daxia Dynasty, he became the well-deserved leader of the Nanliang faction.
As for Lu Xun, he had won the Battle of Yiling and the Battle of Shiting in history, but the number of troops under his command was only about 100,000 at most. He has no experience in commanding an army of hundreds of thousands.
Therefore, although he has great potential, it has not been fully developed.
And among the Soochow faction, Lu Xun's reputation was not as strong as imagined. He is more capable than Lu Su, but he is definitely not the leader of the Soochow faction.
Whether it was ability or status, Lu Xun was outclassed by Wei Rui.
However, as time goes by, Lu Xun gradually makes contributions in the Great Xia Dynasty and develops his potential to rule, and he will slowly catch up and be on par with Wei Rui.
"I heard that General Xie Xuan's Beifu Army is training. When you have time, would Boyan come with me to observe?"
Wei Rui asked.
"Of course I am willing! I have heard about the name of the Beifu Army a long time ago. If I can observe it, I will definitely benefit a lot. Thank you brother!"
Lu Xun agreed immediately.
