    Chapter 308 Unification of the World 2 Han Zhongwei¡¯s escort army, including the more than 10,000 escort troops of the Second Army, totals more than 460,000 people. Ordinarily, this is already a very scary number, but now the Kingdom of Jin is divided into four major military regions  After that, he immediately felt that his army was stretched thin.  The army of the Jin Kingdom was no better than that of Xixia, let alone the Mongols.  Although their military strength is weak, they have a natural sense of superiority. The Kingdom of Jin is the strongest regime in the world, and they also consider themselves to be the strongest army in the world.  Fortunately, the transformation of the Zhongdu Military Region has been basically completed. Although there are now Tokyo Road, Beijing Road, etc., it has only added nearly 200,000 horses. Once the original 350,000 people were mixed with them, they were immediately diluted.  .  In addition, all generals above centurions among the generals have been transferred, so it will be faster to get started.  But even so, it took nearly three months before all the 550,000 troops in the Zhongdu Military Region were in the hands of the escort army.  Of these 550,000 people, Han Zhongwei transferred 50,000 original escort troops into the Nanjing Military Region. The remaining 500,000 people were organized into five armies, namely Zhongdu First Army to Zhongdu Fifth Army.  Each army was organized into ten divisions, each with 10,000 men.  Each division has five regiments, each regiment has four battalions, and each battalion has five companies, which are completely copied from the guard army's organization.  The first to third armies in Zhongdu still have certain combat effectiveness after training, but the quality of the soldiers of the fourth and fifth armies is worrying. Now Han Zhongwei has not intervened in civil affairs, so these two armies are temporarily  For use by local troops.  The mission of the First Army and the Second Army is to protect Kyoto, and the Third Army is stationed at the border.  The 300,000 people in the Nanjing Military Region have also been organized into three armies, namely the Nanjing First Army to the Third Army. Among them, only the Nanjing First Army has some combat effectiveness. The Second Army and the Third Army can basically use the old troops.  To describe the weak, sick and disabled.  The soldiers of the First Army, because there were more than 40,000 escort troops inside, plus the barely qualified soldiers selected from the top of the pile, they still issued weapons.  It's either a gun or a knife. As for firearms, even the guards don't have them.  The biggest enemy of the Jin Kingdom was Mongolia. Now it is impossible for Mongolia to attack the Jin Kingdom. Therefore, Han Zhongwei felt that it was too much to have such a weapon.  As for the Song Dynasty, Han Wanzhou is now also a political affairs official of the Song Dynasty. He is less than one person and more than ten thousand people. The Jin Kingdom now has the final say, and he can no longer have any thoughts about the Northern Expedition.  The other two armies, the Second Army and the Third Army, each only received a fire stick. According to Han Zhongwei, these two armies will be converted into security forces in the future and will fight against the peasants. A fire stick is enough.  .  Fengxiang Military Region has 400,000 troops, but it is Han Zhongwei's base camp. Therefore, he can carry out drastic military reforms and eliminate all the old, weak, sick and disabled, leaving only 250,000 troops.  Nearly two hundred thousand of them were still his escorts.  After seconding 100,000 people to the Zhongdu Military Region, Han Zhongwei transferred the original Xixia capital garrison from Heicheng to supplement it.  Of these 250,000 people, there are actually only 50,000 Jin troops.  But there is another special group in the Fengxiang Military Region, and that is the generals of the Jin Army.  Now all the generals of the Jin Army who are centurions and above have gathered in Fengxiang Mansion.  If any of these people are Jurchen generals, it goes without saying that they will be sent directly to the Shangjing Military Region. Whatever their original position was, they will continue to do their job now.  They were a little unhappy at first, but after arriving at the Shangjing Military Region, they realized that they had arrived in heaven.  There is no drill and no strict control here. There is only a military law team of less than a thousand people responsible for law and order in the military camp.  The monthly salary is much higher than before. These generals basically have families. After bringing their families to the military camp, the salary increases by another 50%. Most importantly, the family members can eat in the kitchen of the military camp for free.  If you have children, you can also go to school to study, take scientific examinations in the future, and it is not impossible to honor your ancestors.  It can be said that even if they don't have a penny, the family will have enough to eat and drink.  ??The Jurchens who were originally soldiers of the masters, in such an environment, have truly become masters.  The thing they worry about most now is how to use their monthly salary.  The remaining Han generals will undergo ideological reform, and if they pass the assessment, they can lead troops again.  Those who fail will change jobs and work in factories.  As for those Liao and Yan people, Han Zhongwei was not so polite and sent them all to Xixia for labor reform.  When you feel the transformation is complete, you can assign work to them.  As for returning to the army, there is no need to think about it in this life. Let's wait until we become Han Chinese in the next life.  Now the total number of troops in the four major military regions is 550,000 in Zhongdu Military Region, 200,000 in Shangjing Military Region, 300,000 in Nanjing Military Region and 250,000 in Fengxiang Military Region, for a total of 1.3 million.  Three hundred thousand of them were Han Zhongwei's escorts.  In order to dilute the Jin army, Han Zhongwei spent a lot of money this time.  His 300,000-strong escort army was changed to the Jin Army. In addition to eliminating the need for Han Zhongwei to pay them salaries, the biggest advantage was of course that he controlled the remaining 1 million Jin troops.    Although the Jin army still has one million soldiers, there are actually not many soldiers to fight.  The 200,000 Jurchen troops who went to Beijing were originally old soldiers, but after being kept captive by Han Zhongwei, they became idlers.  If there are obese people in the Jin Army now, they can only come from one place: the Shangjing Military Region.  Moreover, there are more and more fat people in the Shangjing Military Region. It is difficult to gain weight even if they eat well and sleep soundly every day without having to work or exercise.  Han Zhongwei actually raised them like pigs. It seemed that he spent millions of dollars every year, but the real expense was actually just food.  Because the tertiary industry in the military camp was produced by Han Zhongwei, the salary he paid to the army was just transferred in their hands, and would soon return to Han Zhongwei's hands.  Although this is more troublesome, it can fundamentally ensure the smooth transition of the Golden Kingdom.  Of course, Han Zhongwei can also kill all the Jurchen troops, but in that case, the Jin Kingdom will definitely reignite the war, which Han Zhongwei does not want to see.  These places are the territory of the Han people. They have lived under the iron heel of the Jurchens for seventy or eighty years. How can they tolerate the destruction of these places again?  The reorganization of the four major military regions took Han Zhongwei nearly a year. Han Zhongwei believed that this year was well spent.  With this year's time, the Jin Kingdom will no longer bleed when it changes hands. Even if it does, it will only stop at the Jurchens or the ministers in the DPRK.  But Han Zhongwei believed that the Han officials in the DPRK would not be so fierce, and their backbone was not that strong.  The army was successfully reorganized, and the next step was civil affairs. Han Zhongwei had a headache just thinking about the messy official system and officials in the Jin Kingdom. Therefore, he decided to solve the problem with a stick and cut through the mess with a sharp knife.  On the basis of the four major military regions, the Kingdom of Jin was redivided into four administrative regions, namely Zhongdu Province, Shangjing Province, Fengxiang Province and Nanjing Province.  The original roads and prefectures below were changed to cities, and counties were established below the cities, and townships were established below the counties.  As soon as this order was given, the Jin court immediately started an uproar. They had never heard of any province or city.  Moreover, these matters must be discussed with the ministers and decided by the emperor.  However, Tian Fenggu did not discuss it with them or ask the emperor for instructions. He wrote an imperial edict himself, and Li Xinxi sealed it for him. It was regarded as an imperial edict.  Among them, several Jurchen ministers headed by Wudu, the Minister of Household Affairs, made the most violent fuss. Wudu even pulled Tian Fenggu's clothes and angrily accused him of being a traitor.  "So what if I am a traitor? What can you do to me?" Tian Fenggu knew that since Han Zhongwei was going to restructure, it was obvious that the man in the palace would no longer be in power, even in name.  The unification of the world is the general trend and no one can stop it.  Although he appears to be majestic on the surface, in fact he knows that he is only Han Zhongwei's agent. Many government orders were issued by Han Zhongwei, and he is just a mouthpiece.  What's more, the example of Xixia is there. Tian Fenggu has never thought about being on an equal footing with Han Zhongwei and overthrowing the Jin Kingdom. He has contributed a lot. In the future, even if Han Zhongwei dominates the world, he will still need officials to help him govern. He doesn't care.  Now or in the future, the glory and wealth of this life cannot be escaped.  "Youyou" Wu didn't expect Tian Fenggu to say such words.  "Master Wu, can you really not see the situation clearly?" Tian Fenggu sneered.  Wudu was eclipsed. It would be a lie to say that he could not see the situation clearly, but at first he really did not see it clearly. He only felt that Tian Fenggu was in charge of the government affairs.  By the time he saw it clearly, things were impossible.  It is simply unbelievable that the Jin Army's army was controlled by outsiders.  But such a thing happened in the Jin Kingdom. Will the country that the Jurchens finally established with great difficulty be destroyed?  "My lords, although Dajin has been a country for more than 80 years, in fact, the land we are standing on now belonged to the Han people. Soon, these places will return to the embrace of the Han people." Tian Fenggu said coldly.  .  The ministers in the court were silent, and no one dared to speak. Wanyan Yongji had been living a happy life for more than a year. He became the emperor, and he also killed Wanyan Jing's unborn son. Now everything is worry-free, right?  But the surprise happened so quickly. Tian Fenggu suddenly broke into his room and told him coldly that it was time to return to Beijing.  Back to Beijing?  Wanyan Yongji was unfamiliar with Shangjing. He had never been there since he was born. Although it was the birthplace of the Jurchens, he was the emperor and should be in the most prosperous place.  "Tian Fenggu, you are so presumptuous." Concubine Li was also shocked and pale. She did not understand the dynamics of the court, but she did not understand it so deeply. When would Tian Fenggu be able to ride on the emperor's head?  Shit?  "Concubine Li, the unification of the world is the general trend now. The Kingdom of Jin is over, but you can rest assured that the Li family will enjoy glory and wealth in this life, because you deserve it. The emperor is going to Beijing, and you can choose to go with him.  Although the conditions there are worse than in China, they are still?It's quieter and no one will bother you.  "Tian Fenggu said with a smile. "Come here, fork Tian Fenggu out and behead him," Wanyan Yongji roared. Yesterday Tian Fenggu came to greet him. He looked like a good minister, but in the blink of an eye he became a rebellious minister.  How could he accept this? There was a group of guards standing outside, but no one moved. Wanyan Yongji was dumbfounded. He didn¡¯t know how all this happened. ¡°Come here, send the emperor to the car and go to Beijing immediately.  "Tian Fenggu said. A group of people quickly came in from outside and forcibly pulled Wanyan Yongji up and onto the cart that had been prepared outside. Wanyan Yongji, the emperor who had been emperor for less than two years, came to an end. "Master Tian  " Li Xinxi said with a charming smile. "Mr. Li, don't worry, your treatment is the same as Concubine Li. Over the past year, thank you so much for your support. You can choose to go to Beijing, or you can go back to live like a rich man.  Life, all your property can be shipped back, and I have also prepared one hundred thousand gold for you, which is enough for you in this life.  "Tian Fenggu said with a smile. Over the past year or so, he and Li Xinxi have indeed established an alliance and a friendly relationship. The two cooperated tacitly, which made everything Han Zhongwei wanted to do go smoothly. This hundred thousand gold was also rewarded by Han Zhongwei's order.  "Thank you, Mr. Tian. I have served enough people in my life, and now it's someone else's turn to serve me."  "Li Xinxi immediately made a wise decision. The emperor has lost power and it seems impossible to come back. There is no need for him, the steward, to stay with him and suffer. He can just go back and become a rich man.  Come to me, as long as you are not doing evil, killing people or setting things on fire.  "Tian Fenggu said. "Thank you, Mr. Tian. I will definitely trouble you if anything happens in the future.  By the way, this is Wanyan Yongji¡¯s jade seal. I wonder if Mr. Tian will still use it?  "Li Xinxi quickly delivered the jade seal of the Kingdom of Jin to Tian Fenggu. The guards in the palace were all Han Zhongwei's people. Therefore, Wanyan Yongji's ouster went smoothly and quietly. Even many palace maids and eunuchs didn't know it happened.  When something happened, Wanyan Yongji's carriage left Zhongdu. Since even the Jurchen emperor had left Zhongdu, those Jurchen ministers were no exception. Whether they were willing or not, they would be forcibly sent to Beijing. These officials.  There were hundreds of people, which made Wanyan Yongji's convoy look majestic. The First Army of Zhongdu was quickly transferred to Huining Mansion, where their main task was to monitor and take custody of everyone including Wanyan Yongji.  Jurchen nobles. Han Zhongwei did not want to kill these people, but planned to raise them as pigs like the Shangjing Military Region. Although killing them would be fun, it would arouse the Jurchens who were almost losing their blood.  They raise them and let them live a prosperous and peaceful life, but it can fundamentally smooth out their bloody nature. Maybe in a few decades, there will be no Jurchens in the world, and even if there are, they will be Chinese-conformed ones.  Real people. They will no longer have a sense of belonging to the Jurchen nation. The emperor was deposed and the world was shocked. But what else can they do besides being shocked? All the troops of the Jin Kingdom are in the hands of Han Zhongwei. The bloody nature of the Jurchens.  It's long gone. Now that the Han people are in charge, as a minority, they can't make any waves at all. Starting from Zhongdu Prefecture, Jurchen officials from other provinces, cities and counties were sent to Huining Prefecture in Shangjing, where they  Their lives will be guaranteed, their families will be safe, and everyone will even receive the same salary as before, but they will no longer be officials or discuss politics. Without the constraints of the Jurchen, administrative reforms will be implemented smoothly.  , basically in accordance with Han Zhongwei's wishes. Each province has a provincial governor who is responsible for civil affairs, and the military region is responsible for the military affairs. Under the provincial governor, there are the Department of Public Security, Department of Industry and Commerce, Department of Agriculture, Department of Water Resources, and Department of Education.  The provincial governor no longer needs to hear specific cases. He only needs to list a proposal, and the specific matters will be completed by the following structure.  Officials, once the system is restructured, it is obviously impossible to accommodate so many officials, and Han Zhongweixue is planning to recruit a new group of officials. Therefore, the biggest highlight of this restructuring is the elimination of nearly 30,000 officials. How can they arrange it?  They are all intellectuals of this era. If they are left to their own devices and full of complaints, they will definitely make some comments that are detrimental to Han Zhongwei. No one understands the importance of public opinion better than Han Zhongwei. In future generations, this will be the throat of the Communist Party.  . The throat is definitely a fatal part of a person. Being able to use this part to start public opinion shows how powerful it is. Therefore, although these 30,000 officials can no longer be officials, they still have to be raised, for example, in the education department.  , now schools are being built all over the country, and schools are also being built in some important state capitals. Therefore, the opportunity for these people to use their spare energy has come, and they can become teachers.professor.  The reforms of the military and government are in full swing, and the next step is related to people's livelihood.  In order for Han Zhongwei to come to power, he must first make the people across the country satisfied with him. How can he make the broad masses of people satisfied with him?  The simplest way is to benefit the people.  When governments at all levels were well established, Han Zhongwei ordered people to measure the land across the country.  The Kingdom of Jin was very generous to the Jurchens, and they did not have to pay taxes. But now that we have entered the Han Zhongwei era, the Jurchens' advantage is no longer possible.  After the land survey is completed, national taxes will be collected according to the land.  How much tax is collected per acre of land? If you have more land, you will pay more. If you have less land, you will pay less. If you have no land, you will not have to pay. This policy does not distinguish between gentry and farmers. All parts of the country, including if Han Zhongwei has land, are also implemented according to this standard.  .  This policy certainly made the people cheer for it, but the officials and gentry were not so happy.  But no matter whether they like it or not, starting from this year, taxes will be collected in this way. If you don't like it, you will be beaten until you are willing. If you dare to evade taxes, you will be punished ten times or even a hundred times, until you lose all your money.  With the support of the military, any monster or monster is just a paper tiger.
