Li Tai didn't know how much trouble the uncles and nephews of the Yuwen family caused because of him last night. After getting up early in the morning and having breakfast, he went to the Houjunjunfu to handle military affairs as usual.
Not long after he arrived at the Military Mansion, an envoy from the Tai Mansion came here to announce the order of Daxingtai, asking him to add some issues that were not clearly described in the previous memorial, and then go to the Tai Mansion to face him when he was ready.
Report.
Although he has not yet been directly appointed to an official position, since Daxingtai has made this statement, it seems that the matter is close, and Li Tai is very excited.
Although today's Jingzhou is still tasteless to the Western Wei Dynasty, after all, the name is nice, and the governor of Jingzhou sounds more powerful than the governor of Suizhou before him. What's more, Jingzhou has broad strategic prospects. He will make a nest here first, and wait until
When the time comes, why don't you even use the explosion protection!
In addition to his own happiness, Li Tai also did not forget to share this happiness with his cousin Cui Qian. He had official duties here and could not leave early, so he went home with his entourage to tell his cousin that he was going to Taifu to report the matter.
The new appointment has not yet been issued, and he cannot ignore the military affairs in the Houjunjunfu.
After the defeat of the Heluo War, Yu Wentai also felt that the combat effectiveness and training level of today's Bafu soldiers were still significantly different from those of the Beizhen armed forces, so he assigned more arduous training tasks to all military mansions, and there will be more training this autumn.
Continue to hold grand readings.
Therefore, during the recent period, the military mansions of all armies have also been very busy. As for the previous issue of deserters from all armies who wanted to join the rear army, the Governor-General of the Chinese Army also gave guidance, and ordered all armies to
He sent a general to the front hall of the rear army's military mansion, and when he found that there were troops from various armies joining him, he persuaded them to retreat and lead them back.
Therefore, Jiang is still too old. Li Tai returned this problem to Li Bi, and Li Bi simply called on all the armies to open a garrison office in the capital of Houjunjunfu. In the end, Houjunjunfu still had to contact these people.
deal with.
In addition to handling daily military affairs, Li Tai also put the personnel preparation for Jingzhou on his agenda. After all, when the appointment is officially issued, he may have to leave for the post at any time, but there is not much time for him to prepare calmly.
The number of people under his command is increasing day by day. Although he has not yet found such good helpers as Su Chuozhi and Yu Wentai, Shi Linghu Yanbao, the head of the Hussar Prefecture, has also done a lot of work for him.
Especially during the previous Eastern Expedition, after a lot of running-in between them, Linghu Yanbao was very experienced and experienced in handling all aspects of military affairs such as logistics and baggage, which made Li Tai feel relaxed. So he planned to continue to retain Linghu.
Yanbao, when he returned from the Eastern Expedition, he asked Linghu Yanbao to add a chariot and ride with him. The officials and nobles won a great victory over Guazhou and returned to Yiyi.
As for the future governor of Jingzhou, Li Tai naturally chose his cousin Cui Qian. Cui Qian had rich administrative experience and was familiar with the situation in Jingzhou, so he was the most suitable candidate for Li Tai.
Without Cui Qian's assistance, to be honest, he would not have much confidence in governing Jingzhou. After all, he did not have much experience in government administration. When he was in northern Shaanxi, he would usually just do it if he encountered someone who was disobedient.
This trip to Jingzhou is not a simple military operation, it will inevitably involve a lot of civil and government affairs, so naturally I will bring a lot of advisers and subordinates with me. Pei Hong, Cui Yansheng, Lu Yan, Zhao Yan and others who had previously stayed in northern Shaanxi,
Li Tai plans to recall all of them. There are also a group of literary talents trained in the manor who are proficient in various skills such as paperwork, statistics, calculations, etc. Li Tai also plans to bring some of them with him.
As for the generals, of course, they need to be more fully prepared, and there may be a war someday. Not only must they prepare for war with the Southern Dynasty, but if there are powerful and powerful families in the territory who are too unruly, Li Tai does not intend to show mercy.
As He Basheng's old kinsman, Zhu Meng was originally from the Southern Dynasties, so he naturally had to take him with him this time. Li Quji, a confidant who was both civil and military, certainly had to continue to take him with him to gain experience, hoping to be able to take charge of his own business as soon as possible.
As for other generals, such as Gao Le, Liang Shiyan, Shi Jing, He Ruodun, etc., naturally they all can be brought with them. Including Guo Yan and Li Tai, who were previously serving in other military offices, were also mobilized.
Under his own command, Li Tai also arranged for those obtained by unconventional means like Pi Jinghe to be assigned to low-level military positions as commanders.
In addition to these people, some Mangshan prisoners of war who were rescued from Jinyang have recently been incorporated into the Bafu Central Army. After each has established a foothold in the army, there are also many people who come to thank Li Tai and invite him to be his disciples.
.
Even if we do not consider the subordinates assigned by the ministry, the number of subordinates under Li Tai who are slightly private soldiers and can be dispatched at any time is already very impressive. These do not include Li Yantou and Li Li who are still in northern Shaanxi.
Arrive, Mao Shijian, Liu Ping and others, as well as Li Yunxin and others who will follow Cui Quan to Beizhou.
After the civil and military personnel team is sorted out, the next most important thing is supplies.
When Li Tai went to Jingzhou, he naturally would not be as afraid of nostalgia and compromise as his predecessor. He needed to quickly and effectively integrate the local forces and resources in Jingzhou, and try to build Jingzhou into a large base for sending troops south before the Hou Jing Rebellion completely broke out.
Li Tai has quite a lot of experience in dealing with local powerful people.
But he also knew that going to Jingzhou would be more dangerous and difficult than elsewhere, because the Nanyang Basin where Jingzhou is located was one of the historical birthplaces of wealthy families. Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu and his friends all came from
This land came out and then fought for hegemony over the world.
Therefore, since the Han Dynasty, the local tycoons of Nanyang have been one of the most difficult groups in the world. Although the times have changed, the old and the new have alternated, and the tycoons in that land have changed countless times, the people's customs and customs will always remain unchanged to a certain extent.
Reserve. I am afraid that what he has to face is not only a group of local tyrants, but also some long-standing traditional orders in this land.
Moreover, Jingzhou is the border between the two countries, and although the Western Wei Dynasty nominally occupies it, it has not yet established an absolute advantage. The wealthy families in those places rely on this geographical location to be at both ends, hoping that there will be no shortage of maneuvers to achieve both sides, so this
Pantala is also a test of Li Tai's operational ability.
In any case, when he goes to Jingzhou this time, he will inevitably have a very delicate relationship with the local wealthy forces for a long time, and may not be able to effectively utilize local resources. Therefore, it is better to be prepared before setting off.
The first is of course grain. Nowadays, the output of a series of grain processing industries in Luoshui, including Shangyuan, is already very impressive. A considerable part of the grain hoarded last year has been converted into grain cakes that are easy to store and transport.
The majestic grain king of Kansai could not let his troops go hungry, so Li Tai prepared a large amount of transportation capacity to transport food. The first batch was conservatively estimated to feed 10,000 horses for a year.
In addition to grain, another major commodity is hard currency such as cloth and silk. Shang Yuan's output in this area is also increasing year by year, and it is unique among various industries in Kansai. The result is that the overall industry and productivity in Kansai cannot match, and the cloth and silk produced
But it cannot be exchanged for sufficient goods.
Of course, with Li Tai's various efforts, this situation has not happened yet, but he still needs to continue to open up new markets. This time he went to Jingzhou, of course he could not forget this important task.
Especially in the two years before Hou Jing's Rebellion, while Jiangnan's social productivity and production environment had not been seriously persecuted, it was just a matter of buying goods when they were available.
No matter what kind of product it is, as long as you can hold it in your hands in large quantities, whether it is to provide relief to the people in Jiangnan who were displaced by the war, or to conduct political transactions with the Xiao family princes, you can get returns that exceed expectations.
So in the next period of time, Li Tai will not only be the grain king of Kansai again, he will be the biggest spender and richest brother in the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River!
The grain, grass, money and silk are all ready, so there is no need to worry too much about other supplies. After all, when it comes to productivity and production levels, the Western Wei Dynasty is the worst among the last three kingdoms. As long as you have money, you can make preparations after going south.
Therefore, Li Tai only transferred more than 500 weapons craftsmen from northern Shaanxi to maintain the armament level of his troops, and did not prepare much other materials.
When preparing these personnel, Li Tai also brought his cousin Cui Qian to the Taifu to visit Daxingtai and explained their ideas and plans in more detail. Yuwentai was also very satisfied with their performance and spoke out again and again.
Appreciate.
Just when Li Tai thought that the matter was finalized and the appointment would be issued soon, for the next half month, nothing happened at all.
Seeing that the time has already entered September, and all the personnel and materials he summoned have been in place, but Daxingtai seems to have completely forgotten about this, Li Tai can't help but feel a little confused: I have all the personnel in place, and we are waiting for you.
Come on, you stinky black otter, if you fool me, then I will have to clean up my side and get rid of the tyrants, otherwise I won’t be able to get off the stage!
Just as Li Tai was getting more and more anxious, General Li Tunque of Duguxin led thousands of elite cavalry back to Huazhou from Longyou, and came to pay homage to Li Tai and said: "My lord knows that Lang Jun is about to leave Jingzhou, and he also feels in his heart.
Feeling deeply gratified, the special envoy led a thousand of his elite soldiers to follow Lang Junnan to Jingzhou to make great achievements!"
The day after Li Tun returned, Li Taixin's appointment was also officially issued: three governors, two governors of Guangnan, Yongping, Xinjiang, two, Yingxi and other military forces in thirteen states, and governor of Jingzhou.
