After announcing the latest three appointments, Li Liangzuo continued to say to everyone: "With the expansion of the territory of my Great Xia Empire, the administrative organs at the state capital and county levels that were originally exercised at the local level are no longer enough.
"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks it should be so.
"Minister's Reconsideration" "Since everyone agrees, should this additional institution be named Lu like the Great Song Dynasty or Dao like the Liao Kingdom?"
asked Li Liangzuo to everyone.
"Father, my sons think that my Great Xia Empire is stronger than Song Liao, and should be established in a new administrative body, not Song Liao."
Li Wu bowed to Li Liangzuo and said.
"Father, the son thinks that the second brother is right, but it should be so."
Li Bingchang also said.
"Since you want to choose a new name, all Aiqing can have a good opinion," Li Liangzuo asked everyone.
"Your Majesty, during the Tang Dynasty, the central government once established Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, and Weichen thought it would be better to take the same character province as the name of the new administrative body."
Yang Shousu said.
Li Liangzuo thought in his heart: "Isn't this province the same as the future generations, there should be no problem?"
"Your Majesty can't" Zhou Wentai stood up and said: "It is easy for people to misunderstand when setting up provinces in the local area, so it is better to add a line of words to distinguish it from the imperial court institutions in history." ” "Yes," Li Liangzuo pursed his lips and thought; "This stick has been beaten back to the Yuan Dynasty."
"Okay, let's go to the province," Li Liangzuo said, "Zhuo Zi and Fuzi go and bring me the latest map of the empire's territory." ” After the map was carried and hung up, Li Liangzuo stepped down from the dragon chair and pointed to the map with a wooden stick and said: "This is the map of the territory of my Great Xia Empire today.
Nowadays, the territory of our Great Xia Empire extends from Hezhong in the west, to the sea in the east, to Lake Baikal in the north of the North Sea, and to Hanzhong in the south. the establishment of the Western Prefecture Province in the former Gaochang and eastern Khotan; Hexi Province was established north of Qilian Mountain, south of Heishui City, east of Yumen Pass, and west of Helan Mountain; Hanoi Province was established east of Helan Mountain, west of the eastern section of the Yellow River, south of Yinshan Mountain, and north of Hengshan; To the west of the Taihang Mountains, to the east of the eastern section of the Yellow River, to the south of Datong, and to the north of the border with the Song Dynasty, Hedong Province was established; Hebei Province was established east of Taihang Mountain, south of Yanshan, west of the border with Liao, and north of the border of the Song Dynasty; The Qinfeng Road of the former Great Song Dynasty included the territory south of the Qilian Mountains, and established Longxi Province; The Yongxing Military Road of the original Great Song Dynasty established Guanzhong Province; Establishment of Hanzhong Province in the Hanzhong region centered on Xingyuan Province" After Li Liangzuo redivided the original territory of the Great Xia Empire and the newly occupied territory, the Great Xia Empire formed the highest frontier and local administrative institutions composed of four major capital protectorates and eight provinces, which was more conducive to the Great Xia Empire's local rule.
After dividing the territory, Li Liangzuo continued: "Each local province still implements the separation of military and political affairs; Each province has a governor's office, and the highest chief executive is called the governor, and the official rank is from Yipin, who is responsible for the civil affairs of a province; Set up the Overseer's Office, the highest military governor is called the Overseer, the official rank is from Yipin, is in charge of the military affairs of a province, and has jurisdiction over the prefectures of Zhichong Prefecture" "Ministers obey Your Majesty's Shengyu" "Now that the provincial system has just been established, it is not perfect, and the secretaries need to continue to improve, and the candidates for governors and overseers of the provinces will be selected by the Executive Yuan and the Military Affairs Yuan, and will be submitted to me for approval after being screened by the cabinet."
Li Liangzuo said.
"Yes," Lee Hyo-in and Yang Shousu answered.
"Let's talk about military reform."
Li Liangzuo sat back on the dragon chair and said; "In this battle, the legions of our Xia army suffered serious losses, and with the expansion of the territory of our Great Xia Empire, the original local legions are no longer suitable; Therefore, I decided to dismantle the three corps of Hehuang, Datong, and Hetao, and adjust the strength of the remaining corps; First of all, the strength of the Anxi Army was 80,000, which was temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate; The strength of the Beiting Legion was 50,000, which was temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate; The strength of the Anbei Army is 30,000, which is temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Protectorate of Anton, and the strength of the Andong Army is 60,000, which is temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Protectorate of Anton; The above four major legions are the establishment of the frontier army, and the total strength of the entire frontier army is 250,000, and the lack of vacancies will be directly responsible to the emperor by the commanders of each legion, and the strength of each legion shall be adjusted and transferred by the emperor according to the situation of each region, and the strength of each legion shall not be transferred at will without the tiger charm and the holy decree."
Everyone who understands knows that this is Li Liangzuo, this is depriving the military power of the capital, and now the capital of the four major protectors is basically a combination of military and political power, which is a very unstable factor for the Great Xia Empire, but now the Great Xia Empire is in a period of expansion, and there is no way to do it, but in the future, Li Liangzuo plans to control it from the system first.
Li Liangzuo continued: "Now the remaining 350,000 troops of the main force of our Xia Army have all been reorganized, of which 300,000 troops have been incorporated into the Imperial Forest Legion, and this time the Royal Forest Legion will temporarily garrison the Xia-Song and Xia-Liao border areas with each battalion as a unit; The remaining 50,000 troops are an army of their own, and I have other arrangements; In addition, the Longxiang Army was established in the two provinces of Guanzhong and Longxi, with a strength of 100,000, and was responsible for garrisoning the three provinces of Longxi, Guanzhong and Hanzhong; The Flying Tiger Regiment was established in Hedong Province, with a strength of 30,000, and was responsible for garrisoning Hedong Province; Establish the Flying Bear Legion in Hebei Province, with a strength of 30,000, responsible for garrisoning Hebei Province; The naval fleet of the Qinglong Legion was added, with a strength of 10,000 troops and 100 warships, to assist in the defense of the maritime frontier of Hebei Province. ” Although the establishment of the various armies has come out, it is still very difficult to formally form an army, according to such an establishment, the total strength of the Xia army after the reorganization will reach 770,000, but most of them are empty now; From the establishment of the new Xia army, it can be found that except for the border guards responsible to the emperor and the division according to the region, the four newly added corps are not divided according to the region, and the purpose of Li Liangzuo's doing this is also to strengthen the control of the corps and get rid of geographical restrictions.
Naturally, the reform of the military system will have someone to lead the army in each legion, which is something that everyone is more concerned about, who goes to participate in the construction of the new legion, then it will definitely leave a shadow in the newly established legion, whether it is the prince or the general, which is eagerly expected, which is a great help for future development.
It can be seen from the past practice that the real commanders of the Xia army are basically Li Liangzuo's protégés, and a few are generals who surrendered, as for these powerful people of the Great Xia Empire, they basically have no chance of getting involved in military power, and military power is Li Liangzuo's reverse scale, and it must be controlled by people he trusts.
The second is to continue to ask for support:
