Chapter 360 – Reorganization

Many new emperors of a new dynasty named their empire after their tribes, such as Xia, Shang, and Zhou. Some used their previous title and noble rank as their dynasty name.

Cao Cao was entitled as a Duke of Wei when Liu Xie, aka Liu Xian, was still the emperor of Han. When Cao Pi took the throne, he named his kingdom after his father's title, Wei.

Sun Quan had been bestowed with a title of Duke of Wu before he raised his the Wu Kingdom.

Even the Han Dynasty, which Liu Bang found, had its name from Liu Bang's birthplace, Hanzhong. Furthermore, Liu Bang received a similar title like the others, the Duke of Han.

After Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu and unified the country, the name of the Han Dynasty was a given.

Unfortunately, such a case did not apply to Tong. He never received any official title from an emperor, and only his father had a measly title of Julu Governor.

The Prince Consort title he had was a hoax, which he conned He Xing into naming him. Moreover, it would be inappropriate to change its dynasty name as its successor, Liu Xie, was still present.

To avoid chaos and resentment from his officers, Tong retained the dynasty name of Han, which satisfied all Han loyalists and Tong's supporters.

.

Two days after the coronation, Tong, Te Langpu, and Sima Fang established a new organization, the FBI, aka the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

It was under the jurisdiction of the department of justice that Sima Fang was overseeing. The purpose of this FBI was to crack down any immoral or illegal activity within the official court. For example, if someone attempted to assassinate the opposition faction, the FBI will get rid of that person, colluded officials, and their entire family without exception.

This organization would be the third faction which would remain neutral and keep the balance between two factions in check as they maintain the order.

As for the FBI director seat, Tong transferred Lu Zhi from the Silver Axe Legion into this position. Since Lu Zhi was a hybrid-Han loyalist and Tong's supporter, he could keep his neutral stance without a problem.

Sima Fang also placed his eldest son, Sima Lang, as an intelligence supervisor to learn the rope.

Because the department of justice lacked a leading figure, Tong also transferred Tian Yu to be the police superintendent. He would be in charge of governing all policemen and police organizations in all affiliate cities.

In history, Tian Yu joined forces with Cao Cao in the late 200s. He achieved meritorious deeds by repelling northern border tribes in his early years and helped Cao Ren repelling rebels in 210s.

During the reign of Cao Rui, Tian Yu was sent to guard the northern borders again. However, he traveled south to assist the battle at Hefei in 234, which he successfully defended Hefei from Wu invasion. He was later appointed as the protector of Wuhuan and returned to his post in the north. Tian Yu was one of the few famous generals who died a natural death.

Since Tian Yu was good in defensive warfare, Tong was confident in Tian Yu's potential to grow as a general of all garrison forces.

Although it was a biased move since Tian Yu was on Tong's supporter side, it showed that Tong was still in power since he had influences in the third faction.

Because Tian Yu occupied the superintendent position, Sima Fang could be officially entitled as the Minister of Justice. With this title, Sima Fang would be the boss of Lu Zhi, Tian Yu, and Sima Lang.

.

After settling the judges of this infighting environment, Tong reorganized all military legions to support their country's stability and watch the borders.

Tong separated Zhang Liao and Li Feihong from the Mountaineer Legion. In turn, he transferred Gao Shun, who had initially been Lu Bu's subordinate, back to this force along with Ju Shou, who was from the Ghost Legion.

Tong renamed the Mountaineer into the Redhare Legion since all of them were now sporting redhare as their standard warhorses. Also, because of Li Feihong constant breeding of redhare breeds, they had enough red horses to supply other units as well.

Lu Bu resumed the role as their legion grand commander, and they were sent back to Bing Province. In the future, they could act as a spearhead to dive into the northern borders.

The Redhare Legion was left with 25,000 mixed cavalry unit, and they had to increase it back to 40,000 elites by the end of this year, which would be their homework.

The Silver Axe Legion had to return to Beiping Commandery, keeping Xiangping and Ji forces in check.

Xu Huang, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang retained their posts. Since this unit lacked a strategist, Tong sent Jia Xu to assist them. However, he transferred Bo Cai and Zhou Cang away.

The Silver Axe did not suffer any damage from the battles in the Luoyang region, so their 40,000 soldiers remained the same. However, Tong gave similar homework to Xu Huang that he had to increase its size to 50,000 by the end of the year.

The Ghost Legion of Zhang He returned to Henei as ordered. Qu Yi, Han Hao, and Gao Lan retained their posts in this legion, but Tong added the new face into the mix. Xun You, the cousin of Xun Yu, was transferred into this legion as their new strategist in place of Ju Shou.

This unit did not need to increase its size as their number of 60,000 soldiers was the highest among all legions. However, their efficiency and their training level were lower than the Redhare and Silver Axe. Therefore, Tong gave Zhang He and Xun You homework to train them into elites.

The transferred personals, Li Feihong, Zhang Liao, Zhou Cang, and Bo Cai formed a new legion, the Monster Legion.

Zhang Liao became their grand commander while Li Feihong assisted him as his strategist. 20,000 soldiers from the Immortal Legion also integrated into their group, so they could be deployed right away.

All of them deployed and left for Ganling city to reinforce the order and stability near the Yellow River. Their homework was not increasing troops or training them like the others. Instead, they had to become the local's military farmers, which they would assist the peasants to cultivate the lands.

Tong also announce another official legion in public, the Demon Legion. Dong Bai(Friday) would be their grand commander, and the strategist would be Diaochan. Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji would also be their assistant generals since they were close to Dong Bai.

Although Friday could not use her Xiao Wu form and engage in combat, Tong transferred his skills to her and Diaochan just in case. He gave Diaochan [Create Food] and [Firearm Creation] while Hua Shi's trademark [Bow Mastery] and [Homing Arrows] fell to Friday's hands.
