In order to completely control the entire grassland in his own hands, Li Liangzuo spent a month to make a major adjustment to the entire grassland, first of all, Li Liangzuo divided these submissions and his own tribes into eight departments, and set up the Governor's Mansion for jurisdiction, namely Helan Governor's Mansion, Hanhai Governor's Mansion, Gaolan Governor's Mansion, Yanran Governor's Mansion, Guilin Governor's Mansion, Wushan Governor's Mansion, Lushan Governor's Mansion, and Jiankun Governor's Mansion; The governor of the prefecture was still the original tribal leader, and he was rich in part of the military power, and each governor gave a town of troops, that is, 3,000 men.
Of course, when Li Liangzuo integrated the various tribes, there was also turmoil, for those tribes who dared to resist, Li Liangzuo did not slaughter all of them as before, but only killed the first evil for the ordinary herdsmen and allowed them to surrender, in the case of grace and power, Li Liangzuo made a major adjustment to the entire middle of the grassland, and redivided the grassland for them.
At the same time, Li Liangzuo also sent people to publicize in various governors' mansions that the imperial court would regularly purchase by-products in their hands, including all kinds of leather goods, cattle and sheep; At the same time, the imperial court encourages herdsmen to raise war horses, and the imperial court will purchase every qualified war horse, and when the war horse is cultivated more than a certain number, the imperial court will also issue a knighthood; Li Liangzuo's practice won the hearts of all the herdsmen, originally most of the herdsmen on the grassland were slaves of the upper nobles, in addition to supporting the nobles, they also had to fight for the nobles at any time, if unfortunately killed in the war, their families would not have any security.
Originally, the tribes on the grassland were like wolves, with a very strict hierarchy, but now all this has been broken by Li Liangzuo, and set up a new rule of the game, Li Liangzuo's purpose in setting up this game rule is to turn the entire grassland into his own cavalry base, these nomads are born cavalry warriors, what Li Liangzuo has to do is to make them his own warriors and serve himself.
Li Liangzuo integrated the originally divided central part of the grassland through various means, and through a series of propaganda to build up Li Liangzuo's reputation on the grassland; The grassland tribes are the most difficult to control from ancient times to the present, because they are nomadic tribes, with relative independence, once there is a male lord on the grassland, the entire grassland can be quickly softened together, but once the male lord falls, the entire grassland will fall into chaos again, Li Liangzuo does not want his control of the grassland to be only temporary, he hopes to permanently bring the entire grassland under the absolute rule of Western Xia.
In order to achieve this purpose, first of all, Li Liangzuo softened the original nomadic Dangxiang tribe with them, although these Dangxiang tribes are still nomadic tribes, but they have been changed a lot by Li Liangzuo, they have retained the characteristics of the nomads, and Li Liangzuo has instilled the spirit of loyalty and patriotism, advocating literature and martial arts, Li Liangzuo hopes that they will bring this spirit into the grassland tribes, and at the same time Li Liangzuo also ordered that all herdsmen must learn Chinese and Dangxiang within five years, and give up the original language; However, Li Langzuo still allowed the customs and habits of the nomads to be preserved.
Zhenzhou Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate has been moved here, at the same time it is also the station of Helan Governor's Mansion, after the Great War Li Liangzuo moved a large number of party herdsmen here, and planned and expanded the Zhenzhou City, Li Liangzuo intends to make Zhenzhou into the center of the Western Xia to control the entire grassland, the existing scale of Zhenzhou City is no longer enough to meet this demand; In addition to expanding the city, Li Liangzuo also did a big thing, that is, to integrate and train the grassland cavalry.
In the end, Li Liangzuo recruited 200,000 cavalry again in various tribes, plus the cavalry that Li Liangzuo accepted one after another before the war and the original Anbei Army, a total of 300,000 cavalry; The reason why so many cavalry could still be gathered in the middle of the grassland after the great war was due to the stable living environment of the grassland during the rule of the Liao State, which greatly increased the population of the grassland.
This time, Li Liangzuo scattered all the Anbei Army to various departments as grass-roots officers, and was trained by the elite Central Army in a unified manner, the combat effectiveness of these steppe cavalry is not to be said, the main thing is to train their coordination, so that they are familiar with the combat methods of the Xia army, and secondly, they are also ideologically educated, the main core is to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, as for Chongwen, these people are not needed, they are not needed at all, they are originally fierce people.
At the same time as training the cavalry, Li Liangzuo also ordered a large number of weapons and equipment to be transported from Jincheng, which was all the accumulation of Li Liangzuo in the past few years, and a large number of the equipment transported this time was leather armor, scimitars, bows and arrows, saddles and horseshoes and other light cavalry equipment; In addition, there were a small number of heavy cavalry and medium cavalry equipment, due to the high cost of chain mail, leather cavalry began to appear, and the chain mail cavalry, which originally belonged to light cavalry, was upgraded to medium cavalry.
After a month of training, Li Liangzuo has completely mastered the 300,000 cavalry, and at the same time, the image of the hero that Li Liangzuo can create has been deeply rooted in the hearts of these knights, from horseback archery to wrestling competitions, every time Li Liangzuo will personally participate, the purpose is to let these grassland warriors recognize themselves, fortunately, Li Liangzuo's hard work was not in vain, and he finally won the heart of the army by fighting hard to play.
Time into the middle of October of the eighth year of assimilation, after a month of training, Li Liangzuo's 400,000 grassland cavalry, finally has formed a combat effectiveness, and now the Xia army's strength on the grassland has swelled to 400,000, including 100,000 central army, 300,000 grassland cavalry, in order to facilitate the command of so many troops, the 300,000 grassland cavalry five major corps, each corps of 60,000 people as a temporary establishment to the generals of the various departments to command.
On this day, Li Liangzuo was planning the eastward advance strategy in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the eight governors led by Yelu Jin Haohan, Mengwu Ge Guilin Governor, Wuduer Yanran Governor and others suddenly broke in; Li Liangzuo's first reaction when he saw them break in was that there was a mutiny, but what made Li Liangzuo very strange was that the outside of the tent was guarded by soldiers from his own guard battalion, and there was no reason to betray him.
So Li Liangzuo sat on the dragon chair covered with the skin of the wolf king with a little anger and said: "Trespass into my big tent without permission, do you still have me in your eyes?"
Ye Lu Jin led everyone to kneel down and said, "The ministers have a matter to report to Your Majesty for permission." ” "Let's talk about something," Li Liangzuo said with a wave of his hand.
Ye Lujin said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, please call Khan according to the customs of the grassland, so as to stabilize the hearts of the people of the eight tribes of my grassland. ” Li Liangzuo was stunned for a moment, and thought in his heart: "Damn, is this the grassland version of the yellow robe, this is too exciting." ” Li Liangzuo smiled and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am already the emperor, is it necessary to call Khan?"
Meng Wuge said to Li Liangzuo: "Of course it is necessary, the emperor is the title of the people of the Central Plains, and only when Your Majesty becomes the Great Khan can the people of the steppe be subjugated, from ancient times to the present, there is only the Great Khan on the grassland, and there is no emperor." ” Wuduer also said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, Wuduer is a rough person, Wuduer only knows that His Majesty is the son of Tengger, and only the son of Tengger is qualified to be the Great Khan, please be the Great Khan, please Your Majesty be the Great Khan." ” "This Aiqing is very important at this time, you still let me think about it."
Li Liangzuo said with a smile.
