In mid-June, another group left Wuguan from Shiliu Nan and headed straight for Xiangyang.
"I humble myself to pay homage to your Majesty! I was really flattered by the conscription order before, but I have no choice but to stay here because of this. Now I come to pay homage to you, and I beg your Majesty's forgiveness!"
After arriving in Xiangyang, the group headed by Yang Fu and several others immediately came to Taifu to pay homage to King Taiyuan. Yang Fu even carefully bowed and apologized to Li Tai.
At the beginning of this year, Li Tai obtained the position of Daxingtai in Shannan Province. When he began to arrange personnel for the various counties under the Tai government, he sent transfer requests and recruitment orders to the court and Yang Fu himself, hoping that Yang Funan would serve as the governor of Jingzhou.
, it can also be regarded as fulfilling his previous agreement with Yang Kuan.
However, it was only half a year after the relevant order was sent that Yang Fucai arrived late. Although he wrote back several times to explain, he was still somewhat nervous and worried that Li Tai would be blamed. After all,
Today's Li Tai's potential and energy are completely different from those when he worked with Beizhou.
Li Tai didn't care about this. When he saw Yang Fu like this, he smiled and said: "Those who are able work hard, and things are usually like this in the world. When we got along in the old years, Wen Yan was very helpful to me. If I can get good officials to help me again, I will be more happy."
It doesn’t matter if you stay for a while. The governor of your state has written to you repeatedly to complain, and it’s not easy to do both. I can’t predict whether you will be held responsible after you join the state.”
Yang Fu, the governor of Jingzhou, will no longer be in office, so the relevant state affairs can only be handled by Li Pei, the new general manager of Jingzhou. Li Tai specifically pointed this out and asked Yang Fu to pay attention to his relationship with his immediate superior.
Hearing that Li Tai did not blame him, Yang Fu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately nodded in response, saying that he would apologize to the manager again after entering the state.
In addition to Yang Fu, he was also accompanied by Jingzhao Webster Wei Xiaogu, Wei Guan's uncle and nephew, and Liu Min's son Liu Ang and several other young men from Guanzhong. Before Wei Xiaokuan left here, he expressed his hope to serve his family in Li Tai
We were looking for several positions here, but at the beginning of the year, the internal and external atmosphere was still relatively sensitive, so it took a few months to arrange for our children to come south.
After chatting with everyone for a while, Li Tai asked Yang Fu and others about the recent personnel changes in Guanzhong. Of course, he also had information channels to know everything, but the same thing would still hold true when told by different people.
Different attitudes carry different messages.
Yang Fu did not deliberately delay his arrival. He was recruited by Li Tai to go to northern Shaanxi last year, and he has been serving in northern Shaanxi in recent years. He had not been released before, and the reason was similar to Yu Wenyu's.
Border troubles in northern Shaanxi and Hetao have made the situation in all borders in northern Shaanxi relatively tense.
The root cause is naturally the rise and fall of the hegemony on the grassland. It is said that when a whale falls, all things are born. The destruction of Rouran not only fattened the Turks who followed. Many Hu tribes who were originally controlled by Rouran wanted to avoid the Turks' conquest.
and annexation, and the activities in Monan were intensified, which put a lot of pressure on the border defense of the Western Wei Dynasty.
"At present, the imperial court does not have a complete defense system in Beizhou. The only thing that can still be relied on is the various personnel management made by the king in Beizhou last year. Some people in Beizhou are discussing among themselves. If it weren't for the king's work in Beizhou last year,
Due to the construction there, I am afraid that all areas north of Beishan will be reduced to Huma pastoral areas!"
Speaking of the troubles faced by the states in northern Shaanxi, Yang Fu couldn't help but sigh.
In the past, the imperial court had no very effective defense arrangements for northern Shaanxi. Even the Jihu tribes within the territory could not be effectively controlled. Huhuang disturbances broke out almost every year. Even if there were strong soldiers and generals to conquer or guard,
The solution can only be a temporary trouble, and the solution can only be a local chaos. As for the powerful force like Rouran coming to disturb, there is even less effective means of resistance.
This situation did not change until Li Tai was operating in northern Shaanxi. He first used military, economic, religious and other means to systematically suppress and reorganize the Jihu tribes in the territory. In the following years,
During the period, there were no large-scale chaos in Jihu in northern Shaanxi. Occasionally, some small riots occurred, which were mostly caused by the uneven distribution of spoils within Jihu.
The farming in northern Shaanxi has given the northern states a stable food supply. Now Xiazhou, Shuozhou, Yanzhou and other northern states almost all get their supplies from the farming bases such as Xihe County. Shuofang's livestock products,
The grains from the West River, the salt from the East, etc., are all effectively connected, and in fact they have formed a material basis for the border defense forces to continue to advance to the north of the Hetao.
Yang Fuxin left from northern Shaanxi and knew the situation there very well. He talked endlessly when talking about relevant things: "The imperial court also looked down on the north, thinking that it would be safe to make friends with the Turks, but in fact
This idea is ridiculous! Previously, the bandits from the east had tried hard to suppress the barbarians in the west river, which cut off the channels for crop flow between the two places in the old year. Fortunately, the king had already predicted that he could go down from Shuofang from the north of Suizhou.
But now the Monan tribes are becoming more and more chaotic, and the Wuchuan White Road is gradually becoming difficult to travel. The Turks have already crossed the border to attack Tuyuhun, which shows that they want to take control of Monan and form a front line. If I cannot take the opportunity to enter the Hetao, the route to Monan will be exhausted.
It belongs to the Turks, and when the time comes, all the soldiers and soldiers will have to look up to it.
And what kind of kind people are the Turks? Outside the Qingmen of Chang'an, their ferocity was exposed a few days ago. If we had not taken precautions early, the bloodshed today would still be the remnants of softness, and I am afraid that my father in Guanxi will be old in the future! Today, I am in Guanxi.
Discussing this matter, many of my disciples lamented that Grand Master Yuwen would eventually become inert and not be what he once was..."
The other colleagues were not surprised when they heard Yang Fu's blunt remarks about Yu Wentai's fault. Instead, they all showed approval. It can be seen that this is not the first time they heard such an argument. It is estimated that similar topics have become their daily communication.
One of the contents.
After Li Tai heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The most direct reason why Yuwentai and other Beizhen tycoons were able to establish a foothold in Guanzhong and overwhelm the tycoons in Guanxi was that their power was stronger, and they came to Guanxi to quell the rebellion in Guanlong, so their
They were protectors rather than invaders. When Xiaowu moved westward, unified the laws of the Northern Wei Dynasty and brought them to Guanxi, he gave them a justifiable name.
However, as Yuwentai's tampering came to light, coupled with repeated attacks on the Western Wei Dynasty's legal system, the so-called legitimacy was gradually replaced by his personal prestige, and Yuwentai's personal prestige was unfortunately destroyed by the out-of-control behavior of a rebellious boy.
A heavy blow.
Although the killing outside Qingmen in Chang'an was a vendetta between Turks and Rouran, it took place within the territory of Guanzhong. Would any competent regime tolerate such a thing in its capital?
Therefore, in the eyes of the people of Chang'an, there is probably a big question mark as to whether the Bafu regime headed by Yu Wentai can still assume and fulfill its previous responsibilities and protect the security of Guanzhong.
Of course, this is not the only killing and riot that occurred in Kinei, but everyone had no choice before!
The Yang family of Hongnong had just experienced a persecution. The representative of the family, Yang Kuan, was rioted by the Imperial Guards and beaten to death in the house. He did not receive any compensation or posthumous gifts afterwards, so he could only endure it all silently.
But not saying anything does not mean that he has no thoughts in his heart. Yang Fu used such a murderous incident that just happened in Chang'an to express his views. He is probably also expressing that if Li Tai is willing to raise troops and return to Guanzhong to challenge Yuwen Tai's dominance
Authority, at least the Hongnong Yang family is on this side.
Of course, Li Tai was also worried about the rapid rise of the Turks, and felt that some measures should be taken to curb it, otherwise the Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty would soon become the two big ones in the south.
But this matter is indeed a bit difficult to handle. The Western Wei Dynasty has a weak foundation, and it has to face a powerful opponent like the Northern Qi Dynasty, not to mention that Yuwentai has to beware of another backstab by a rebellious guy like himself, who has seven points of strength.
You may not be able to achieve three points, and if you take the Turks, the new overlord of the grasslands, as your opponent, you will really be short-lived.
Therefore, if you want to take any substantive action against the Turks, you must at least do so after Li Tai takes charge of Guanzhong.
Although they are still unable to compete with Northern Qi, the scheduling of personnel resources between regions will definitely be much more flexible and effective than that of Northern Qi. At that time, they can try to carry out local war confrontations.
Yang Fu's views on the Turks, whether mixed with too many personal emotions or not, are quite forward-looking.
But Li Tai also understood the urinary nature of these famous families, and dared to open a dyeing workshop if they were given only three cents of pigment. For example, Yang Kuan, who had made his own decisions and lost his life before, if Li Tai now showed some eagerness to return to Guanzhong to seize power,
They dared to immediately write a memorial to themselves and embroider the battle flag, causing another disturbance in the domestic situation that is currently relatively stable.
Therefore, he did not continue to talk about this topic in depth. After getting a little understanding of the thoughts of these famous people in Guanzhong, he changed the topic.
Putting aside this matter, the most important personnel change in Guanzhong at the moment is that the military operation to send troops to conquer Qi has officially entered the preparatory stage, and the dispatch of personnel and materials has become more frequent. At the same time, there are also preparations for Shannan Road
deepened.
The Bafu government issued successive government orders, not only restricting personnel exchanges in Wuguan, but also blocking some of the channels from Hanzhong into Guanzhong. Some Guanzhong Shiliu that had previously invested in Mianbei also realized that the logistics channels were restricted.
They were all panicked and came to Xiangyang one after another to complain, begging the Taiwan government to come forward to negotiate with the Chinese and foreign governments, hoping to relax the control.
Li Tai did not receive any relevant written notice from the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office, nor did he conduct a systematic investigation into this matter. After all, he now had more personnel to manage, and he could not devote all his energy to these Mianbei workshop owners.
They protect you.
So he handed over the matter to Yang Fu, who was about to take office. The Jingzhou Prefectural Government would first conduct management negotiations. If there was no progress in the matter, he would report it to the Taifu Government.
