Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The army is the ruler's most powerful means and the basis of rule. Li Ziran attaches great importance to this aspect. After discussing it with Lu Qing and others for several days, they finally finalized a plan, which is the principle of sea first and then land.  To compete with an island like Taiwan, developing an army is basically of little use. Only a navy is the right way to go.  ¡¾¡®//

    Originally, Lu Qing had more than 10,000 troops, and after annexing other forces on the island, Yang's forces joined in, and the total force reached more than 30,000.

    However, the water content of these 30,000 soldiers was extremely high. A considerable number of them had not received professional military training, and some were even seriously overage. In this regard, Li and Lu Qing had to eliminate part of the army and finally selected  There are 15,000 elites, all of whom are young people aged over 18 and under 30. The age of general officers can be relaxed, and all of these elites have been incorporated into the navy.

    After these soldiers were selected, the organization was completely disrupted and then uniformly divided. Now they are temporarily divided into three levels of units: battalion, team, and captain. The officers are respectively school lieutenant, team leader, and captain. Among them, each captain has ten soldiers.  Ten shi is a team, and ten teams is a battalion. Each battalion is worth one thousand.  As for the establishment of a battalion or above, it has not been established for the time being, because according to Li's description, even if there is a war in the future, it will only be fought with a small group of enemies at most. A too large establishment is useless, and the battalion establishment is enough.

    In addition, above the captain, there are three higher military positions: general, general, and general. Among them, the general can command five battalions, while the general has no regulations on the number of troops. As for the general, there is only one  A false title or a temporary position. Generally, Li will appoint him as a general only when there is a large-scale battle or when he has made great contributions to establishing a great cause.

    The fifteen thousand navy was divided into fifteen battalions, and now Zhou Long and Lu Qing are in charge of training. Among them, Lu Qing was appointed by Li as General Liuqiu to command his first navy. Although Zhou Long was in charge  However, like Hu Li, neither of them officially held positions in the navy. Because one of them is good at military training and the other is good at land warfare, they cannot use their strengths in the navy, so they are still serving in Li's bodyguard for the time being.  .  Among them, Zhou Long is lucky. He is very good at military training, so he can help. He is expected to stay in Taiwan for a while this time.

    In addition, although the navy is the focus of development, it is impossible for Taiwan to have no defense force. There are still many locals on the island, so among the 15,000 that have been eliminated, 10,000 are relatively good.  , were stationed in various counties, and most of the remaining five thousand were assigned to the administrative and judicial departments, or as policemen or postmen, etc. Anyway, they all had a fixed place to go. Although the monthly salary was not  A lot, but enough to feed a family of several people.

    Comparatively speaking, the reform of the army is still very smooth. After all, there are many military orders. As long as Li orders them, they can be implemented immediately if Lu Qing and others have no objections.  On the other hand, political reforms are somewhat troublesome. Although the opposition force is weak, these competitions involve all aspects of Taiwan's people's livelihood. Moreover, Li has proposed the separation of administration and justice, but he himself has no experience in this area, so the following is a summary.  It was very difficult to adapt to the time, and it was naturally a mess at the beginning.

    For this situation, Li had no idea at all. After all, he only referred to some administrative agencies of later generations, but he only knew a little bit about the operation methods of this organization, which was not applicable to the current situation at all.  Fortunately, Li finally found the right person. Cui Wei, who exercised the power of governor in his place, had been an official for more than 20 years and had rich administrative experience.  As the director of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Chen Gong is also a genius, and he quickly understood the responsibilities and working methods of his Metropolitan Procuratorate.

    With these two people present, Taiwan's new government was slowly sorted out from a chaotic state, and gradually got on the right track.  In fact, Li didn't have much confidence in the separation of administration and judiciary, but he knew that putting administrative and judicial power in the hands of the same group of people would inevitably breed corruption. After all, they can supervise themselves, and everyone can't be a saint.  Enter, it would be strange if there is no problem

    In fact, in the final analysis, Taiwan is not only the first step to expand overseas, but also an experimental field planted by him in administration. While he is still young, he not only has the time, but also the capital to make mistakes, so whether he is here in Taiwan  Whether the political system is successful or not is an opportunity for him to accumulate experience, and with the gradual improvement, he will eventually perfect his ideal political system.

    Li and the others came to Liuqiu in February. Except for meeting Yang, they spent most of the next time reforming Taiwan's military and political system. They had been busy for more than a month, and the military reforms were finally completed.  With that done, all that remains is for the newly integrated army to produce combat effectiveness under the leadership of Lu Qing and Zhou Long.

    However, the reform of the political system has just begun on the right track, and this is only near the capital Keelung. The several counties that Taiwan has just divided have not yet begun formal reforms.  But it is already April, and Li Ke has no time to waste in Taiwan. Bi Jingxijun will give birth to his first child in two months, and he must be there in time for his first child.He rushed back to Chang'an before his death. After all, in essence, he was still a good man who took great care of his family.

    Regarding Li's irresponsible departure midway, Taiwanese officials such as Cui Weng and Chen Gong were somewhat slanderous. After all, on the surface, Taiwan's official system was similar to that of the Tang Dynasty, but internally it had been changed beyond recognition by Li.  That set of administrative experience simply didn't work. They were still groping for everything. They finally got a little better, but Li, the instigator, wanted to go back to Chang'an to wait for his wife to give birth to a child. This behavior was simply abominable.

    But no matter how dissatisfied Cui Wei and the others are, there is nothing they can do. Who makes Li the boss here? They are destined to follow the family and earn a living. No matter how difficult it is, they have to grit their teeth and endure it.  However, compared to when he came here, Li brought back much less money this time. For example, people like Cui Yu and Wang Kuang who came to Taiwan to set up plantations are now in a critical stage. Although they have the land, they still have to pay for the land.  Cleaning up is still a big problem, so they have to take care of it themselves.

    In addition, Yan Bei stayed because of this. Originally, he used his status to get a lot of slaves, but this guy was too greedy and occupied too much land. The amount of land he acquired was simply not enough. Moreover, he  Seeing the shortage of slaves on the island, he immediately planned to start up his old business in Dengzhou and usurped Cui Wei's position in organizing the slave catching team. He soon organized an official slave catching team, and he also recruited privately.  Many of the soldiers eliminated by Li took up the banner of the Yan family's slave-catching team and followed the official slave-catching team. They were having a great time and were unwilling to give up such a great opportunity to make a fortune.

    Anyway, Yan Bei was not a qualified Chang Shi to begin with. It would be the same with or without him. Since he wanted to stay, Li didn't force him.  In this way, when he returned to Chang'an, only he and the four brothers Li Ke, Li Yun, and Li Zhen were left, and finally Mengxue and Wu Meiniang, but Wu Meiniang would also stay there when she arrived in Dengzhou. After all,  Her status is really not good enough to enter Chang'an.  However, in addition to these people, Li also wanted to bring another person back, but this person was not so easy to persuade.

    "Liu Lang, I appreciate your kindness, but you only need to take Cai'er to Chang'an. She has grown up and has never seen the prosperity of a big city. As for me, an old man, I have stayed in Taiwan for so long.  I have feelings for a long time, so let me die here," Yang said calmly.

    "Uncle, you have been wandering outside for so many years, do you really not want to go to Chang'an at all?" Li Ke said anxiously.

    Although Yang is terminally ill, perhaps because he has been very happy after getting to know Brother Li during this period, the symptoms of dizziness rarely occur.  When Li saw this situation, he wanted to take Yang Changan on a trip and meet his mother and concubine. If Bi Jing knew that his second brother was still alive, how happy would his mother and concubine be?

    "The country has been destroyed, the family has been destroyed, and there is really nothing to miss about Chang'an for me," Yang said with a somewhat unnatural look on his face.  Chang'an was originally the capital of the Sui Dynasty, but now that he was asked to enter Chang'an again as the prince of a subjugated country, no matter how open-minded he was, there was still some resistance in his heart.

    "Uncle, don't you want to see your mother-in-law again, or even your grandmother again?" Upon hearing what Yang said, Li Ke next to Li Ke also spoke. In fact, he and Li Ke also understood their uncle's psychology.  It's just that so many years have passed, and Yang is suffering from a terminal illness. Maybe he will never be seen again. If he doesn't take the opportunity to see Chang'an personally, let alone other things, if his mother and concubine are allowed to marry him in the future,  You know, I will definitely scold them bloody.

    "This" When Li mentioned his mother and Jiu Mei, Yang couldn't help but hesitate a little. Although he was worried that his mother wouldn't be able to bear it if she knew he was helping him, but even if he looked at her from a distance, he would still be able to help her.  Even if I die, I will have no regrets

    "Uncle, don't hesitate any more. You don't have to worry about your father at all. He is a very confident person and will never do anything because of your identity. Besides, you are in this situation now, and you have a mother.  Concubine is here, I bet that as long as the father sees you, he will definitely give Cai'er a title, which is also a good thing for Cai'er," Li Ke also continued to advise.

    Hearing Li Ke mention his beloved daughter again, Yang's face became even more hesitant, his face also changed, and it seemed that he still couldn't make up his mind.

    When Li saw this, he suddenly rolled his eyes and thought of a better way (to be continued)
