The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Almost all the wealth of Cao Cao and Sun Quan was used in the war, and there was not much left, but some people left a lot of wealth.

That is the Jiangdong clan and the Caowei clan. Almost all the wealth of these clans fell into Liu Bei's hands. This is the wealth accumulated by most of the clans in the world for hundreds or even hundreds of years. Its horror can be imagined.

It is because of obtaining so much wealth that Liu Bei dared to squander so much, rewarding heroes and the three armies. Liu Bei was not stingy. Although many people were enough to be a marquis, Liu Bei abolished these titles and used a lot of money to compensate meritorious people. .

Liu Bei announced to the world that the titles of national scholars, generals, generals protecting the country, and generals who guarded the country were spread all over the world, and everyone was able to know these great achievements, and they all worshiped them.

"Brother, 50 captives are 50 young and strong, and the daily consumption is very high. They should be settled as soon as possible."

After the rewards were awarded, the meritorious people couldn't help being overjoyed, but things still needed to be done. As soon as the rewards were awarded, the generals from all sides came to Chen Ziming to complain. They had a lot of prisoners from the Wei and Wu countries in custody, and there were too many of them. After Chen Ziming smiled wryly, he came to discuss with Liu Bei.

"Brother is also in a difficult situation. Many of Cao and Sun's confidantes have been released rashly, fearing that something will happen..."

In order to better control the soldiers, Cao Cao and Sun Quan arranged a lot of confidantes among the various armies. If these people knew the current affairs, it would be fine, but if there were a few diehard loyalists, it might cause disaster.

Chen Ziming had already made a plan in his mind, and immediately said: "If the unification is underway today, the big men don't need to keep so many soldiers and horses, they can cut down some old, weak, sick and disabled, and let them go home. The elite will replenish the troops, and the remaining people will be sent to teach, and at the same time, secretly check to see if there are any loyal people."

"Finally." Chen Ziming smiled and said, "Brother issued an edict, whether they should be held accountable for their crimes or not, they will be treated as the common people of the Han Dynasty and let them go home. I think that after they go back, they will get the land to cultivate and can support the whole family. With a little understanding, there will be no more rebellions."

"Reducing troops and horses?" Liu Bei pondered slightly after hearing this. The big man now has a million mercenaries, which is indeed a bit too much.

Chapter 654 Another Disarmament

"Compared to Yangzhou, Jingzhou and other places, the population of Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Jizhou is a little denser, and they should be properly relocated to the south." Chen Ziming smiled slightly, and reminded Liu Bei again.

After hearing this, Liu Bei realized in vain, and immediately nodded with a smile.

"The war is over, the soldiers are returning to the field, recuperating...

"40 troops will be cut, 70 will be retained by the Army, and [-] will be retained by the Navy..."

"The south has suffered from wars for a long time, the people have been exiled to other places, and the land is barren. Now the northern states have transferred 50 households to the southern states. Those who voluntarily relocate can get a hundred acres of land, one cattle, one house, two sets of farming tools, and thousands of households. Money, tax-free for five years!"

As soon as the disarmament order came out, the world called Liu Bei Shengming. After the disarmament, the great Han will only retain 80 soldiers and horses. It seems like a lot, but after the division of the land, it is only that little, and most of the soldiers and horses are gathered in the border areas.

For example, an additional 30 troops were added to the northern defense line to establish an indestructible defense line, and [-] troops were mobilized to guard the northwest, and then distributed among various places, not much.

In fact, retaining an army of 70 is still too much, but Liu Bei and Chen Ziming are unwilling to accept the status quo. One wants to become an emperor surpassing Qin Shihuang, and the other wants to conquer a huge empire.

The remaining soldiers and horses are all the elite among the elite, and they are all battle-tested tigers, once the time is right. . . . . .

Under Chen Ziming's suggestion, the reduced soldiers were secretly ordered by their respective generals to relocate to the southern region if there was no special reason, so as to ensure the long-term stability of the Han Dynasty.

These cut down soldiers are not comparable to ordinary people. They have all undergone strict training, are loyal to Liu Bei and the big man, and have learned a lot of knowledge in the army. They have a thought of not being slaves. Regions, the township bullies in those places can't even think about bullying them.

They will also play a leading role in the townships, bringing the ideas of Dahan to various places, and at the same time, they will play a leading role in the House of Representatives, which is about to start.

All the people in the world yearn for such generous relocation conditions, but will it really be the turn of ordinary people to have such good conditions? The answer is no. These relocation conditions are actually another way for Liu Bei to reward these loyal and brave men. Yes, almost all default.

As long as the retrenched soldiers go home and report for relocation, they will be selected without any suspense.

"Xianhe sent someone to report that the missions from Western countries have arrived in Chang'an. I have asked Xianhe to temporarily settle them in Chang'an City." Liu Bei suddenly mentioned the matter of the missions.

Chen Ziming's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "It's so good. After the members of the Senate are in place, the first election of ministers will start. After these things are settled, it will be convenient to contact the missions of various countries. However, our people can come back first, and we can first understand the situation in Western countries."

"Hahaha." Liu Bei said confidently: "I have ordered them to come back, and they will arrive in Luoyang in a few days."

"That's great!" Chen Ziming nodded slightly, suddenly a little excited, and finally took the first step.

Liu Bei suddenly asked, "Ziming, who should we send to Jiaozhou and Nanyue?"

Jiaozhou and Nanyue belonged to Sun Quan. Now that Sun Quan is gone, of course it should be returned to the big man, but it is not easy to choose the leader. The terrain of Jiaozhou and Nanyue is complicated, and the climate is hot, which is very different from that in the north.

Many soldiers went to the south, the climate was not acclimatized, and it was not easy for large armies to fight.

Fortunately, Sun Quan had already laid the foundation for the great Han to conquer these places and built many roads. Most importantly, the topographical maps of these places had already been retrieved by the dark guards, and the strength of all parties had also been investigated clearly by the dark guards.

It can be said that attacking Jiaozhou and Nanyue is tantamount to giving credit, which is much easier than Sun Quan's capture of these places.

"Jiaozhou and Nanyue have no strong enemies. There is no need for the top ten generals to go out. Two people should be selected from among the great generals who protect the country, and they will divide their troops to attack the two places." The contribution of the generals is already great enough, there is no need to pick these sesame seeds Little work.

"Then let Zhang He and Pound go."

Among the fourteen armies protecting the country, Zhang Xi can be said to be ranked first. If Zhang Yun had not been in the battle of the large army, he had been under the command of Xu Huang and had no chance to lead the army alone, otherwise he would have a place among the top ten generals.

As for Pound, he is brave and resourceful, and has no problem with loyalty. He is a rare handsome talent. Of course, Pound should be given more opportunities to show off.

"Let the military department formulate plans, where to deploy troops, how much to deploy, attack routes, food and grass mobilization, etc., and let them discuss a charter by themselves." The military department has been divided into an independent department, and these should be done by themselves To do it, outsiders can no longer interfere, Chen Ziming is going to start delegating power to them.

"it is good."

Liu Bei also nodded in agreement. Now the military department is full of talents. The top ten generals are not commanding talents with both civil and military skills. Besides, there are fourteen generals protecting the country and forty generals defending the country.

The forty town generals are almost all the leading generals of an army of ten thousand people. Of course, they have to return to their own troops to lead troops, but there is no need for the ten generals and the fourteen generals to protect the country. In the army, just stay in the military headquarters and be responsible for the operation of the military headquarters.

To put it bluntly, this is taking back military power in a disguised form. Although Liu Bei is not afraid of their rebellion, he also trusts these generals, but the heart of defense is indispensable. Besides, the world is now peaceful, and these generals should enjoy their blessings. There is no need to continue to serve in the army suffer.

Of course, they are not idle. Liu Bei often convenes them to discuss various military regulations of the Han soldiers, discuss how to make the army more powerful, and discuss how to mobilize and suppress the Han soldiers in a timely manner if there are rebellions in various places.

Anyway, there are things to do, many things, only these generals who lead the army all the year round know, and only they can come up with corresponding solutions.

While the Senate was still preparing for it, the Dahan Mission arrived in Luoyang, and Liu Bei, Chen Ziming and others went out of the city ten miles to welcome their triumphant return.

"Filial piety..."

Looking at the face in front of him, his face was yellow and waxy, compared to the white and fat Chen Xiao at the beginning, it was as if he had changed his skin, and he was thinner a few times, showing the pain of envoy to the West, Liu Bei suddenly wanted to cry again.

"Chen, I pay homage to Your Majesty, I am fortunate to not disgrace..." Chen Zhen, whose name is Xiaoqi, is from Nanyang. When Liu Bei issued the recruitment order, Chen Zhen came to join him alone, and was appreciated by Liu Bei. Missions to Western countries.

"Okay, very good..." Supporting Chen Zhen, his face was full of excitement and his eyes were moist.

Chapter 655 Chen Zhen's Report

Liu Bei supported Chen Zhen, looked up at the big Han mission behind Chen Zhen, but at this sight, Liu Bei frowned slightly, and after carefully looking at the people in the mission, looked at Chen Zhen again, and asked, "Xiaoqi, Where is Xiaoxing? Where are the many followers? Stay in Chang'an?"

There were more than 200 people in the mission group at the beginning, but now there are less than 100 people standing behind Chen Zhen, less than half, which makes Liu Bei puzzled.Xiaoxing, who was asked by Liu Bei, was one of the great talents who joined Liu Bei in the early days.

"Your Majesty." Chen Zhen burst into tears and said, "We went all the way west with those monks. The road was difficult. We encountered wild beasts, horse thieves, and bandits many times. Many people died in battle..."

"What!?" After hearing this, Liu Bei and the others turned pale with shock, with grief and indignation on their faces. The huge mission has lost more than half of its staff, which shows how dangerous the journey is.

"Also." Chen Zhen continued: "After Xiaoxing arrived safely in the Sasanian Dynasty with the mission, he became ill because of the unacceptable environment and the medical treatment was ineffective, so he finally let go. Your Majesty apologizes..."

Recalling Jufu, thinking of their hardships and dangers along the way, thinking of the colleagues who stayed in a foreign country and never came back, Chen Zhen broke down in tears.
