1176 Qin Army Reorganization Plan and Five-Year Plan for the Northern Expedition
Just as the Battle of Bozhou was won, the news that Yang Yinglong was captured alive came back, and the capital was jubilant and the national prestige rose sharply, Xiao Ruxun issued the "Imperial to the World" in a timely manner.
In this edict, Xiao Ruxun announced the next stage of the Qin Empire, namely the Qin army's reorganization plan and the five-year plan for the Northern Expedition.
In order to do all this, the corresponding preparations are very complicated.
First of all, the government must be a large government, a centralized government with sufficient manpower and material resources to go to the countryside. There are no obstacles or constraints in the local area. The central government's decrees can be directly issued to local governments without tampering.
The people directly accept the emperor's orders and organize the orders of the central government. All military training is carried out directly under the leadership of village officials and township officials sent by the government. The results are directly reported to the central government. Local governments are only responsible for organizing production statistics and other agricultural civil affairs matters.
Under such accumulation, based on the current population base and financial resources, the Ministry of War predicts that in five years, the Qin army will receive at least 100,000 elite cavalry and 300,000 reserve troops, which is enough to launch a battle of the Northern Lu.
By then, the Qin army would traverse the northern desert and defeat the forces of the northern tribes in one fell swoop, lift the border troubles that had been under pressure from the Central Plains dynasty for thousands of years in one fell swoop, achieving unparalleled achievements.
To this end, Xiao Ruxun issued a clear edict calling on officials all over the world to live a frugal life, work hard, save every penny and every grain of food, accumulate strength for the country, and contribute to the Northern Expedition five years later.
To this end, as the emperor, Xiao Ruxun took the lead in announcing further reductions in royal family costs and court costs, and the emperor took the lead in living frugality.
He announced that the reduced royal family cost and court cost would be filled into the "Northern Expedition Depot" set up separately in the national treasury to accumulate strength for the future Northern Expedition. After that, a portion of the government's fiscal surplus would be saved to enter the Northern Expedition Depot every year to prepare for the war five years later.
This is Xiao Ruxun’s unique strategic plan for the five-year Daqin.
This is not only a military strategic plan, but also a political program. Announcement of the next strategic plan of the Qin Empire to the ministers, so that everyone can work hard to go together. Having a clear plan that can be seen is very meaningful for a country.
Everyone knows what the emperor wants to do, and can be at ease and have a goal to act and give, instead of not being able to see the goal, just following the crowd, which can easily breed political struggles and corruption.
When the clear goal of an empire is set, everyone who wants to make achievements in this unprecedented political and military operation will work very hard to move towards this goal, and this government will burst out with extremely powerful power.
The Qin army reorganization plan and the five-year plan for the Northern Expedition were both purposeful plans, and the details of the action were continuously improved within a year and were continuously recognized by Xiao Ruxun. After the first good news of the new year came, a new political and military program was promulgated.
Everyone in the world will know what the emperor will do in the future.
There is no need to hide this plan, nor does it need to hide it. Xiao Ruxun will issue this plan to every village controlled by the central village officials and township officials, so that every citizen of the Qin Dynasty knows what the Qin Empire is doing.
Let them know what their taxes, what the food and money they pay are used to do.
With the great victory in the Bozhou Battle, a new goal was proposed. After completing a stage of work, people ushered in a new goal and new challenges.
All the ministers felt that His Majesty the Emperor was very energetic and wanted to do something that was endless. They had just escaped from the heavy war support work, but they had to devote themselves to the next stage of work.
However, compared with the barely coping in the previous year, the mental outlook of government officials this year has undergone tremendous changes. The most active group of people are first-class officials who have eaten first-class banquets and earned a lot of face in front of their families during the Chinese New Year.
These officials were full of motivation. After receiving the emperor's "Edict to the World", they immediately devoted themselves to the next stage of work with full spirit.
In the next Chinese New Year, I will have a first-class banquet, chat with the emperor face to face, get personal rewards from the emperor, earn enough face in front of my family, and greatly satisfy my self-esteem and vanity.
Compared with them, another group of motivated officials who were warned by the emperor at the ninth-class banquet were some old bureaucrats in the Ming court, some were new bureaucrats who followed Xiao Ruxun's Northern Expedition, and some were tired of land reform officials.
Especially officials from land reform, they became tired after just one year. They were severely scolded by the emperor, warning that this was their last chance. If they committed another crime, they would be dismissed immediately and go home to farm, and never use it.
This group of people was frightened very much, and immediately transformed from lazy officials into officials, and took out 200% of their energy to work hard. They were the most motivated and motivated except for first-class banquet officials.
The administrative machine of the central government started to run again. After the government work conference was over, various departments held their respective work meetings, distributed tasks, defined responsibilities and completion deadlines. Afterwards, the central officials ran around to work.
As the centralized emperor, Xiao Ruxun's task was naturally the heaviest. During the busiest period of work, he moved the entire cabinet to his Qianqing Palace to handle government affairs with him. He also set up a set of tables and chairs for Xiao Zhenbang in the work room, allowing him to sit on it to practice calligraphy.
Let him experience the difficulties and difficulties of the emperor as soon as possible, and also constantly convey Xiao Ruxun’s expectations, recognition and support for Zhenbang to the outside world.
Xiao Ruxun needs to constantly convey the unshakable will of the inheritance of the Great Qin throne to the outside world, which can effectively curb the ideas and actions of some ambitious people and increase the stability of the imperial government. After all, at present, the stability of the empire is more important than anything else.
When the reorganization plan and the five-year plan began, the Qin Empire government once again entered a high operation cycle.
For a period of time, it was brightly lit all day long in the Qianqing Palace. Even if the emperor and the cabinet assistants were sleeping, there were still shifts of cabinet staff on duty.
The emperor's bedroom directly became the largest office in the central government. The emperor rested in the side hall, while the assistants rested in another side hall. The emperor had three meals a day, and all the food, drink, defecation and sensation were completed in the palace. Except for not being able to go home, there was nothing else.
Wang Xijue is old and lacks energy, but he is better at obedience. He is Xiao Ruxun’s qualified puppet.
The empire still needs him to serve as a storefront, so Xiao Ruxun maintained his position as chief minister. However, in order to share the pressure from Li Tingji, Xiao Ruxun directly ordered Ye Xianggao to be promoted to the cabinet and became the third auxiliary minister in the imperial cabinet.
At present, Wang Xijue can only do some rough work due to his energy problems.
The work of the cabinet was actually led by Li Tingji, who led the cabinet ministers who were promoted from local and central government to the cabinet to train. Ye Xianggao assisted him, responsible for external contacts and direct connection with the departments that handle specific affairs, and explain some difficult issues.
Xiao Ruxun made decisions with Wang Xijue and discussed some important political strategies.
Wang Xijue’s experience and keen political vision are still worthy of praise.
The stable political structure of the imperial government played a great role in promoting the Qin army's reorganization plan and the five-year Northern Expedition plan. At least after several consecutive waves of large-scale purges, Xiao Ruxun's political opposition was no longer there.
