The reform of the military system and the local official system is actually a beginning, and the following things are what Li Liangzuo really wants to do; Now Li Liangzuo's princes can still stand alone, although they are still young, but they have also reached the age of training, Li Liangzuo decided to divide the princes.
"This time against the Song Dynasty, the princes have made great contributions, and I have decided to divide you into a seal, which is why I let you come here."
Li Liangzuo sat on the dragon chair and said with a smile: "Where is the acting king Li Bingchang?"
"The retainers are here" "Chang'er is my eldest son, and over the years he has made great achievements with the southern and northern wars."
Li Liangzuo said; "I have been cultivating you and honing you for so many years, but fortunately, I have lived up to my expectations, and Li Bingchang, the acting king, has always listened to the seal."
"The retainers obey the order."
Li Bingchang knelt down and said.
"Li Bingchang, the king of Jin, is the king of Jin, stationed in Taiyuan, and is responsible for forming the Flying Tiger Legion."
"Erchen commands, thank your father, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"Chang'er, Taiyuan, which is an important town in Hedong, and is located on the border of the Xia and Song Dynasties, the situation is complicated, you must not only pay attention to the military, but also pay attention to political affairs, diplomacy, trade, etc., understand?"
"Erchen understood."
"The third prince Li De listened to the seal."
"The son is here."
"Feng Li De is the eternal king and stationed in Xingyuan Mansion; The official was the governor of Hanzhong, responsible for the military and political affairs of Hanzhong Province. ” "The retainers take the order."
"De'er, although Hanzhong is small, it is the key to entering Sichuan and Shu, and there must be no room for error, I will send the Longxiang Legion to assist you in defending Hanzhong."
"Yes, Erchen understands, please rest assured."
"The fourth prince Li Ke, the fifth prince Li Hao, and the sixth prince Li Qing listened to the seal."
"The son is here."
The three of them replied.
"Feng Li Ke is the king of Changshan, responsible for garrisoning Hejian Mansion; Li Hao is the king of Hengshan and is stationed in Zhending Mansion; Li Qing was stationed in Xijin Mansion for the king of Guangyang. ” "Son's command."
"The above three kings stationed in the three provinces can participate in military and political affairs, but they must not affect the operation of the local area; The decree promoted Zhu Xu to the commander of the Flying Bear Legion, and Feng Frame to the commander of the Blue Dragon Legion; Fuzi sent a decree, and after the two returned to Beijing to report on their work, they went to Hebei Province to be responsible for the formation of two major armies. ” "Minion Command."
Xiao Fuzi took the decree and said.
Li Liangzuo's several sons who have made military achievements have been sealed again, Li Xiaoren, the king of Chu, has already been sealed, and now there is only Li Wu, the king of Qin, left, and everyone will look at the king of Qin, Li Wu has been a very popular minister in terms of both title and official position, and it has almost reached the point where there is no seal, and everyone, including Li Wu, thinks of a position, that is, the position of the prince; With the identity of Li Wuyan's eldest son, with so many years of military exploits, he is enough to be qualified for the position of prince.
Compared with Li Bingchang, Li Liangzuo has indeed been very partial to Li Wu over the years; Li Liangzuo looked at Li Wu and then at Li Bingchang and said, "King of Qin, Li Wu listens to the order." ” "The retainers are here" "Li Wu, the king of Qin, was appointed as the governor of the three provinces of Longxi, Guanzhong and Hanzhong, in charge of the military and political affairs and defense of the three places; The King of Qin was appointed as the commander of the Imperial Forest Legion, and he was also responsible for the formation of the Longxiang Legion. ” "The sons and ministers receive the decree, thank my father, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Li Wu was very happy about Li Liangzuo's appointment, Li Liangzuo was tantamount to handing over the military and political power of the three provinces of Longxi, Guanzhong, and Hanzhong to Li Wu, and also served as the commander of the two major armies of Yulin and Longxiang, and the two legions together had an army of 400,000, and the total strength of the regular army after the reorganization of the Xia army was 770,000, which was equivalent to the Qin king Li Wu alone was in charge of more than half of the soldiers and horses of the Xia army, not including the government soldiers of the three provinces.
The three provinces of Longxi, Guanzhong, and Hanzhong together have about 2 million households, and the population is more than 10 million according to the calculation of five people in a household.
What is the concept of 10 million people in the Great Xia Empire After the Great Xia Empire annexed the Black Khan Dynasty and moved west to the Anxi Protectorate, the total population of the Great Xia Empire was about 20 million, and after accepting these territories ceded by the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State, the population of the Great Xia Empire increased by almost 13 million, which means that the total population of the Great Xia Empire during this period should be more than 33 million; The population of the three provinces controlled by Li Wu was basically equal to one-third of the total population of the Great Xia Empire.
Moreover, these three provinces are rich in products and the terrain is dangerous, with the addition of these populations and troops, Li Wu, the king of Qin, has the strength to become a country of his own, of course, as long as Li Liangzuo or kills him, in terms of comprehensive strength, the power controlled by Li Wu, the king of Qin, is equivalent to half of the entire Great Xia Empire; Although Li Wu did not have the name of the prince at this time, he basically had the strength of the prince.
Regarding the authorization of Li Wu, it stands to reason that Li Bingchang should be very annoyed, but now Li Bingchang is not only not annoyed but very happy, of course, Li Bingchang is not happy for Li Wu, but for himself; From Li Bingchang's point of view, although Li Wu was authorized to take charge of half of the Great Xia Empire, he did not canonize Li Wu as the crown prince, that is, he did not officially establish Li Wu as the heir, which still has a chance for Li Bingchang, although this chance may be very slim.
As Li Liangzuo's sons gradually grew up, the scene of brothers and sisters who loved each other like before was gone, and now they were facing a battle for the throne, and Li Liangzuo was a little hesitant on the issue of succession to the throne, and was unwilling to make a final decision, which also led to a series of turmoil in the Great Xia Empire at the end of Li Liangzuo's reign.
With the canonization of the princes by Li Liangzuo, two major groups and several small groups were gradually formed in the Great Xia court and the locality, the two major factions were the Qin faction headed by Li Wu, the king of Qin, and the Guanzhong group was also given to the Guanzhong group by later generations, and the Jin faction headed by the king of Jin was also called the Hedong group by later generations; Of course, these two major factions have not yet been formally formed, and some of the great families of the Great Xia Empire have not expressed their position, and there is no difference between expressing their stance at this time and looking for death.
What Li Liangzuo said in the imperial study is only a verbal canonization, which is equivalent to giving everyone a ventilation in advance, and the formal canonization ceremony also needs to choose a good day to carry out, and the ceremony of dividing the kings is held in Hanyuan Palace, and it is also very complicated to worship the sky, the earth, and the ancestors.
Chengguo Mansion, in Zhou Wentai's study.
Zhou Wentai's father and son talked at night, and Zhou Xuan asked Zhou Wentai: "What is the intention of Your Majesty's series of actions?"
"Xuan'er, tell me, now all the departments of the Xia Army are in the hands of those people."
"King Qin, King Jin, Li Yi, Ji La Yong'er, Li Chahan," Zhou Xuan said one by one.
Zhou Wentai said with a smile: "You didn't find these people, except for the emperor's relatives, the rest are basically His Majesty's protégés and former officials, and the military power is His Majesty's reverse scale, and this time His Majesty handed over most of the military power to the King of Qin, the purpose of which is to let the King of Qin serve as the crown prince, and this governor of the three provinces and the commander of the two major legions is just a transition and inspection period, as long as the King of Qin does not make any mistakes during this period, the position of the prince is his." ” "Daddy, shouldn't we get closer to King Qin more?"
Thanks to the five recommendations of love and injury, Tianyu is grateful:
