From Soldier To Emperor

On January 1, Daming 3rd, Richard officially established Qiuci as the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Richard has long established himself as King of Ming Dynasty, he has never officially established his capital. When he became independent, he was too embarrassed. Richard spent most of his time fighting abroad and did not establish a capital.

Counting the time since An Guofu became independent, Richard captured Kang Guofu in June of the first year of the Ming Dynasty and opened a new chapter in the history of rapid expansion. Then in August, he successively took down the United States Shi Guofu and completed the first restricted massacre. ...

In October, he won a decisive battle with Yuchi Yingzhe, who was entrusted by the Tubo people. The cities under the control of the Yuchi family descended without a fight, and the Tubo people coveted it.

Then there was a decisive battle between the Tubo people and Li Cha. The three alliances launched a full-scale war with Li Cha. They fought back and forth for more than a year. The Ming army killed the Weichi family, the Tubos retreated to the Tufan kingdom, and the Long family of Yanqi surrendered and retreated to the Yanqi army. The town became the east barrier of the Ming Dynasty.

Later, after a series of chasing down the remnant enemies and incorporating small local forces, the entire Western Regions were placed under Richard's rule at the end of the second year of Ming Dynasty. Later, Richard chose to be in Qiuci on January 1, 2003. As an urban construction capital, the Ming dynasty was initially settled in the Western Regions.

In order not to arouse the enmity of the Tang royal family, Richard did not further proclaim himself emperor, but merely established a kingdom.

Even Anlu Mountain didn't claim emperor. At this time, claiming emperor not only sounded good, but it could only attract a large group of enemies!

Perhaps the Datang imperial family separated from Beiting Duhufu and Anlushan could not directly send troops to destroy Richard, but Beiting Duhufu and Anlushan could join forces to destroy the arrogant who claimed to be the emperor...

In East Asia, it is very sensitive to the establishment of titles. There can be a varying number of kings in the world, but only one emperor is allowed. Once proclaimed the emperor, it means that the hatred of the other family must be destroyed without dying!

Moreover, once proclaimed emperor, if there is no certain strength, it will naturally cause dissatisfaction with surrounding forces and trigger a siege.

This is also the reason why An Lushan did not claim the emperor's organizational system. At this time, in addition to the central army of the royal family, the Great Tang also had independent local princes and emperors. They did not take down the world and proclaim themselves emperor, which would only attract hostility!

At least before the fall of Chang'an, the Datang imperial family represented orthodoxy!

After Richard was established as the capital, the first thing was to reorganize the auxiliary army, because the auxiliary army made a huge contribution in the battle with the Tubo people (tens of thousands of people died!), so Richard will assist the army Formally reorganized into a permanent regular army, and applied the rank system in the field army!

However, Richard did not announce that he would grant land for military merit to the soldiers of the Auxiliary Corps, nor did he say that he would not grant them land. While reorganizing the Auxiliary Corps, he also began to search for gold and silver, carry out currency reforms, and collect private Tang coins.

Richard's reason for currency reform is very good. The Western Regions have changed hands, so it is natural that they cannot continue to use Tang's currency!

Richard used the gold and silver looted by the war to recover Tang coins at a low price. The Western Regions have been settled. Even the Yanqilong family with its own army did not dare to refute Richard's currency reform!

Everyone knows that after the currency reform, the Ming dynasty can obtain a generous seigniorage tax, but they dare to be jealous and dare not violate...

Following the currency reform, Richard released another big move, restructuring the local garrison!

First, Richard drew out the local garrison corps one after another, and rebuilt the Ming field army with the surviving officers and soldiers of the field corps as the backbone.

The establishment of the local garrison was readily available, and after being transferred out, it was directly reorganized and quickly formed a field army of 30,000 people.

Because the officers and soldiers of the garrison are all awarded fields with military merit, Richard doesn't even need to pay too much!

With a field army of more than 30,000 people, plus the auxiliary army of more than 60,000 after the reorganization, and the Dao soldiers of the headquarters, Richard suddenly has 100,000 more combatable soldiers in his hands!

Whether it is a field corps or an auxiliary corps that has survived the elimination system, they are all regular troops that can fight tough battles, and are not comparable to ordinary mercenaries and militias.

After the reconstruction, Richard immediately used a field regiment with two auxiliary regiments to spread to the various prefectures and counties of the Western Regions, and at the same time displayed the thousands of skeletons made by Genevieve to the Han gentry class in the Western Regions.

Richard sent a clear signal to the Western Regions-I am very strong, don't provoke me!

This kind of political show is very necessary, the actual 100,000 army and the skeleton army, even during the reign of the Tang Dynasty, the Western Regions may not be able to draw 100,000 regular army!

Not to mention that now the Western Regions have just gone through wars, and a quarter of the land has been turned into white ground by the Tubo people. The people who live there, whether they are Semu or Han Chinese gentry, have not escaped bad luck...

The looting of the Tubo virtually reduced the overall strength of the local Han gentry class.

After a large-scale reorganization campaign, Richard then promulgated one after another ~www.wuxiahere.com~ to extend the tentacles of the government to the private soldiers of the local Han gentry class.

The reason that Richard gave was that because of the continuous wars and the shortage of local garrison troops, the Han gentry should join hands to form the local garrison corps, that is, let the Han gentry contribute their efforts or even money, and pull out their own guards to form the garrison corps. !

This kind of empty glove white wolf behavior will naturally be opposed. Richard had already expected that he didn't want to fight the Han gentry class in the Western Regions. He just didn't want the Western Regions to have a large number of civilian armed forces that would benefit outside the government.

The formation of the local guard army, Richard, set out many conditions of temptation that the gentry class of Han Chinese could not refuse.

Richard allowed the Han Chinese gentry children to enter the local garrison as the main officer, and allowed the local garrison to serve as the **** guard of the local caravan for a long time.

The first article allows the Han Chinese gentry class children to enter the army in large numbers to gain real power, and the second article dispels the Han gentry class’s worries after losing their family guards.

The reason why the family guard force of the Han gentry class in the Western Regions is stronger than that of the Central Plains is not because the Han gentry class is always thinking about rebellion, but because the wilderness in the Western Regions is full of greenskins and wild orcs. In order to protect the caravans, they had to form their own civilian armed forces. .

Therefore, Richard gave the condition that as long as the Han gentry class is willing to hand over all the guards and escorts under its control, they can enter the local Han municipal committee and have the right to propose that the local garrison guard their caravan.

Yes, during the rectification, Richard also established a non-governmental organization for political participation-the local Han Municipal Committee.

This is part of the government's right to participate in politics after the local Han gentry class surrendered their own force.
