When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Xin Qu returned from the Western Regions.

The carriages and the army moved together, covered in dust, followed by herds of cattle and sheep and tribes with hunting dogs and dog flags.

These people came from Hexi. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, they had a unified name - Di.

A tribe that regards dogs as friends and dogs as totems.

Afterwards, the Di tribe evolved and split into two branches. One branch was located in Hexi and was eventually destroyed by the Qin people. The other branch went north and integrated into the ecological niches of the Xiongnu and Donghu, becoming the Red Di and White Di. Their totem also gradually evolved into a wolf, becoming a major threat to the Central Plains.

Of course, in this era, Inner Mongolia was covered by the 400 mm isohyet, so the tribes and countries here were in a semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral state.

So the Di tribe has not yet split.

They still lead a semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral life.

Before Xinqu arrived in the Western Regions, he traveled through the northern desert and saw the huge amount of rainfall and water in the eastern border of the Western Regions (Turpan and Hami).

During the warm period, Dongjiang should be assigned to Hexi. Only after leaving these two places can one truly enter the Western Regions.

Therefore, Xinqu swept across Hexi and plundered the largest number of people and food.

Of course, he didn't stop for long.

Wipe out a group of people in the shortest possible time, and leave the rest to the Xiongnu tribe and Youhong family to deal with.

He is not a babysitter, so there is no need for him to take care of everything.

However, his appearance also led to the destruction of the Qiang and Di forces in the Hexi region.

According to research during this period, the Qiang people have a close relationship with the Jiang surname, and it should be said that the two groups have a common ancestor.

However, in the view of Dayi Shang, Qiang people is a general term for all the tribes west of Mount Xiao.

All the remnants of the Xia Dynasty who were driven away by them were lumped together.

Xin Qu's research found that the Xia Dynasty still regarded itself as a great power and had not been completely destroyed or conquered.

The Ji clan also entered Guanlong from Shanxi and actively cooperated with the Xia Dynasty to divide the tribes that did not submit to them into two tribes according to their totems.

One group is the mountain tribes, who live in tribes between the Guanlong Plateau and Xining and even the mountains of Tibet. This group of people continued the derogatory name of the merchants, namely the Qiang people.

The other group is a tribe that lives in the Hexi Corridor, engages in semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral activities, and likes to raise domestic dogs. They are collectively called the Di tribe.

But in fact, these Di people were the indigenous people of this area, and many of them were the first tribe to migrate out from Shanxi.

The earliest can even be traced back to the era of Suiren and Lei Ze.

But because they had become more distant from these tribes, they were gradually marginalized.

In addition, if the roads are not maintained deliberately, there will be less communication in an era of low productivity.

Therefore, the human living areas in China are severely isolated by mountains and rivers. Each communication takes two to three years, and no one wants to go on an expedition unless it is absolutely necessary.

After all, there are only a few people who go on expeditions like Xinqu.

Xinqu also had the framework of the military merit system, which could arouse the desires and ambitions of everyone, but even so, this wave of expedition mobilized 100,000 people, but the benefits brought back were only over 300,000 people. The scale seemed to have expanded, but it was still reduced and dispersed due to various reasons.

In a short period of time, the power of Yan State was a bit dispersed, and even the Bafu had to be readjusted.

So he kept looking at the map, preparing to readjust the name and division of the Bafu, and to form a relatively effective military and political system as soon as possible, so that the area under his control could develop rapidly and eventually form a joint force.

But there are still trade-offs.

For example, after Dongjiang was divided into two, King Zhou Xin of the Western Zhou Dynasty controlled Gaochang alone. So, in the more than 1,000-mile stretch of land between Gaochang and Yiwulu, a considerable number of strongholds and post stations were needed to maintain the connection between Gaochang and the State of Yan.

There is also Huansi's Dingbian Camp, which is the lowest-cost channel for Yan State to communicate with the Western Regions and the North.

But the journey is still two or three thousand miles, which means the cavalry can maneuver quickly to afford the cost of sending the message, otherwise Xin Qu would have withdrawn long ago.

After looking at it for a while, Xin Qu picked up his pen and began to write on the silk cloth.

Soon, the jurisdictions of all the generals and their offices were reorganized.

General Zhenzhong: in charge of Chengde, Shanggu, Chifeng and Liaoxi.

General Zhenbei: Wuhuan vassal states, Chahar, and west of Greater Khingan Range.

General Zhenxi: Datong, Shanxi. General Zhendong: Liaodong, Northeast, Wuzhong, Lingzhi, Korea.

General Zhennan: Heluo, Runan.

After the Five Towns, Xinqu began to intersperse general mansions between the towns, namely the Si'an General's Office and the Siping General's Office.

Among them, General Si'an will be in charge of the pass control, specifically controlling some places with important geographical environment. They will have to raise their own food and grass and will not need to hand them over. General Siping will be arranged in the border area, and will not only have to raise their own money and food, but also need the expenditure from Yan State.

The five generals needed to make transfer payments, and most of the money and grain needed to be handed over to the State of Yan for unified arrangements.

Therefore, General Si'an's pass was the core area of ​​the granary designed uniformly by the State of Yan.

In addition to the arrangements made by General Si'an, they were either lords who rose from slaves, or were of the Yao family and had close relations with Xinqu. Basically, without Xinqu's support, they had no status in the country at all.

After a new round of adjustments, the entire hegemonic government system of Yan State will officially enter the five towns, four ans, four peaces and thirteen hegemonic governments.

At the same time, Xinqu established the Youzhou Left and Right Guards separately in addition to the Jinwu and Imperial Guards.

The Youzhou Left Guard was responsible for the reclamation of the eastern part of Youzhou, and the Youzhou Right Guard was responsible for the reclamation of the western part of Youzhou, officially starting the construction of the Corps' logistics system.

As for why.

The reason is very simple, because there are too many Rongdi tribes recruited.

This group of people must be under military control, otherwise they must be released to the various local tyrants. Xin Qu was worried that the local tyrants would instigate this group of people to rebel, similar to the practice of reforming the aboriginal system in the southwest during the Ming Dynasty.

That is to oppress the local officials, force the locals to rebel, then organize the resistance, kill the enemies, and use the "enemies'" heads to get promoted and make money.

Don’t think that this kind of thing happens rarely. In fact, if civil servants want to be promoted quickly, a large part of their military merit is achieved in this way.

Even more so now.

Xin Qu had found out more than once how the feudal lords he had established bullied the other tribesmen who came to him for surrender, forcing them to rebel, and then he took people to quell the rebellion.

Of those killed, some were given military merits, and the rest were sold as slaves.

Most of the slaves sold did not enter the core area of ​​Youzhou, but were given to local lords, which was very helpful for the expansion of the local area.

Therefore, as long as these Rongdi tribes honestly transformed the land of Youzhou for him, cultivated and grazed, developed water conservancy projects, paid taxes honestly, and followed him to the battlefield as second-line logistics soldiers when necessary.

As long as you don't rebel, you will be treated as an obedient citizen.

Of course, to do this, we also need a complete suppression system.

Therefore, Xin Qu decided to bring out the concept of the Twelve Regiments Camp.

In addition to the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Guards, two additional generals were appointed to assist in the management.

"Longxiong and Shenwu."

Xin Qu wrote down the names of the two generals and then added below:
Imperial Guards: Colonel of the Guards, Colonel of the Cavalry, and Colonel of the Tower Ship.

Jinwu: The Captain of Halberd, the Captain of Chariots and Cavalry, and the Captain of Agriculture.

Longxiang: Lieutenant of Fengjun Army, Lieutenant of Leopard Cavalry, and Lieutenant of Conghu Army.

Shenwu: Lieutenant of Material Officers, Lieutenant of Tiger Cavalry, and Lieutenant of Protector of the Qiang.

After Xin Qu finished writing, he was silent for a moment, and then changed the title of Louchuan Xiaowei to Fubo Xiaowei.

"So, the Guard Captain is responsible for training some of the personal guards of all military generals, the Cavalry Captain is the most elite Youzhou cavalry, and the Fubo Captain is responsible for controlling the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, which is equivalent to a naval special forces.

The Lieutenant Commander in Charge of Halberds was in charge of the defense of Beiping City and the outer court, the Lieutenant Commander in Charge of Chariots and Cavalry was an elite officer who was both capable of chariots and cavalry, and the Lieutenant Commander in Charge of Agriculture was in charge of military farming.

The Fengjun captain was responsible for the training of elite infantry, the Leopard Cavalry captain was the light cavalry, and the Conghu captain was responsible for training people from the Wuhuan vassal states and Liaodong, which was equivalent to a minority ethnic conscription army.

The Lieutenant of Material Officers was in charge of training archers and crossbowmen, the Lieutenant of Tiger Cavalry was in charge of heavy cavalry, and the Lieutenant of Protecting the Qiang was also a minority soldier, specifically responsible for the deployment of troops from Guanlong, Hexi and even the Western Regions.

As a result, the military strength of the Thirteen Hegemons will be less than the number of the core forces of Youzhou, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened.

Yeah. Very good.

A new round of Youzhou development is about to begin." (End of this chapter)
