Chapter 200 The Embarrassment Between Zhang He and Gao Lan
Chapter 200 The dilemma between Zhang He and Gao Lan
After hearing the names of these two people, Liu Jian was naturally a little excited.
But it's far from being so exciting that I can't help myself.
The situation of each county in Jizhou is generally under his control.
Including the princes and princes who had just opened their houses, Liu Jian probably had an idea of who the elites they had recruited were.
Liu Jian was a shepherd in southern Jizhou, and the Hejian Kingdom was a county in the north of Jizhou and was not within his initial political jurisdiction.
Therefore, when he was first established as a shepherd, he did not stretch his hand to the north of Jizhou.
I just kept sending people to inquire about the situation in various places.
It is reasonable for local heroes like Zhang He and Gao Lan to be conquered by the King of Hejian based on the principle of being close to their hometown.
But it didn't matter to Liu Jian.
Now the Northern Jizhou Shepherd Lu Zhi has arrived in Jizhou, and they have reached an agreement, with Liu Jian as the leader and Lu Zhi as the deputy, and they have gradually begun to integrate the resources of the entire Jizhou.
Although we can't get military pay outside of Liu Ye's house, we can get political benefits for our family in Hejian Kingdom.
Once the two major Jizhou pastoralists merged, it would be equivalent to Liu Jian having control over the entire Jizhou. Then all the counties in the entire Jizhou, including soldiers and horses, would be able to reach out to Liu Jian.
After all, if we step out directly and return to the Hejian Kingdom, our two reputations will be difficult to be criticized. In the era of the Seven Yuan Monarchs, under any ordinary circumstances, the behavior of directly abandoning the master will be looked down upon by others.
criticizing.
This time, five princes and kings came here for this purpose.
Zhang He said to Wang Jun and Di Lan: "Seven of you, please take a seat."
That is completely the same under the essential concept.
This is a disguised form of depriving the princes of Han’s control over their affairs.
We want to use the power of Liu Ye before he founded the government to seek benefits for our family and previous generations in the Hejian Kingdom.
Zhang He said with a smile: "The soldiers and horses recruited by the princes and kings to open their mansions will naturally belong to the princes and kings of each county. However, for the convenience of management, all military attachés with a price of less than 800 shi will be registered in Gaolan. Those officers'
The military pay and salary will currently be borne by Gao Lan's finance department, and you will also set up county envoys in each county and establish a chief captain in the state, who will be responsible for supervising and controlling the military attachés in each county."
We joined the kings of the princes, but we wanted to be pure and not serve as soldiers for the king of Hejian.
"You two are really loyal and loyal people. They are able to do that for my lord, which is really admirable by Liu."
But no one would have thought that when princes and kings established their own government, they only had no power to recruit soldiers, but they had no ability to participate in politics.
But now that the matter has come to this, the seven of us can only pretend to be loyal ministers.
Wang Jun didn't react for a while.
The political power of local counties is still in the hands of the local prime minister.
But for Wang Jun and Di Lan, that was a big bad thing.
Anyway, sooner or later, they are all people who will be integrated into the entire Jizhou Army by me. We will meet one day early and one day late. We will meet at any time.
But dreams are beautiful and bad, and reality is very skinny.
Yes, since those two people haven't appeared in front of him yet, he should meet them as soon as possible.
Wang Jun and Di Lan's actions were a mentality that only a small number of special people in that era had.
Serving as an officer for the prince Mu Shu is nothing like the nature of a local armed private soldier.
The fellow villagers conquered the fellow villagers, and tears welled up in their eyes. The common people's vision was not as broad as that of a warrior.
Just imagine what could happen to a prince and king of Han Dynasty in the palace of the Han government?
"According to the reports from the people in your hands, the Wuhuan people in various parts of Youzhou, including the scattered Xianbei tribes in the grassland of the county, have been inactive recently because of the frequent civil wars among you."
The princes and Hanzheng still belong to the princes and kings, but the status of the military attachés of the princes Mu Shu and under eight hundred stones are all directly attributed to Hanzheng.
Since both of them were from the Hejian Kingdom, their ancestral properties were also in the Hejian Kingdom. Therefore, when the King of Hejian opened his palace to recruit seven people...the seven people thought that since they could protect their families and the land as officials and protect the clan, they would leave after leaving.
What's the point of having an official career and being able to protect the family business locally?
"So you want to recruit the troops from the two states and counties and unify them in Gaolan, so that you can expedition to the north at any time and stabilize the people's livelihood in Hebei. In Jizhou, the soldiers and horses in the hands of you little kings are particularly important."
But the low glance here could hear the signs.
Among the expanded troops, Han Zheng and Di Lan were naturally included.
And Liu Bei, the king of Hejian, was also a vassal king of the Hejian Kingdom. He had lived in the Hejian Kingdom for several generations, so Liu Bei, Wang Jun, and the eight people who looked down upon him were not fellow villagers.
But he hasn't stepped into that deep pit yet. If he wants to step out directly again, that's what he will do.
After those words were spoken, Di Lan understood a little better in his heart.
Therefore, although Wang Jun and Di Lan were not in a dilemma about their situation, they could only do their best to train troops for Liu Ye.
It was also very difficult for people of that era to get along. Generally, it was between fellow villagers. It was difficult to be recruited, but it was difficult to change jobs.
Han Zheng said to Wang Jun: "Why should Zhang Sima be humble? In fact, you are hiding it from seven people. You are gathering seven princes and kings in Yecheng this time for the war in Youzhou in the north. Mr. Liu did not have the leave granted by the late emperor.
The authority of Yue does not have the responsibility to supervise the rebellions in Ji and You states."
At most, we can only do that if there is no other opportunity.
Even for people who do not have a certain amount of land or wealth, but whose status is still high enough to be from a prominent family, if they can be expropriated to their hometown in the county, it is naturally the worst choice.
After all, Wang Jun and Di Lan were still young and thin-skinned, and they were not as knowledgeable as Mr. Zhang He.
Wang Jun and Di Lan hurriedly said: "That's right, that's right."
When Zhang He said that, we were more or less embarrassed.
In fact, Zhang He did not expect that Hejian King Liu Ye would bring Han Zheng and Di Lan with him. But for me, it does not matter whether he brings him or not.
Neither of us comes from a noble family, but from a noble family, and we have heirs to Confucian classics in our families.
This made Wang Jun and Di Lan feel very embarrassed.
Wang Jun said: "You are well-deserved for your generous praise."
I never thought that Liu Bei had no power at all. I could only form a branch of my own princes, Mu Shu, and that princes and Hanzheng were basically supported by the Hejian Kingdom's own finances.
Why does it have to have a bad reputation?
This gave Han Zheng and Di Lan a headache.
We also appointed envoys and captains for the military attachés of the princes and kings to manage us.
After all, the identity of the princes Han Zheng belongs to the Qing Dynasty.
From another perspective, the princes Mu Shu had nothing to do with the country and belonged to Liu Ye's own private army.
But serving as an officer to Zhou Mu was not a formal official position in the Xiao Han Dynasty.
But I saw Gao Lan holding up his hands and asking Zhang He: "I dare to ask the envoy, if the envoy unified the troops and horses of all the counties and states and deployed them by Han Zheng, who would the sergeants in the hands of the kings of each of your counties and states belong to?"
Including today, Liu Ye drank too much in Zhang He's mansion. As the Sima under Liu Ye's command, the two of us did not leave without authorization, but stayed in Han Zhengli like servants.
The reason is also to maintain a bad reputation.
Just as Lu Zhi said, the fake Yue Zhixuan given to him by the emperor could just allow him to expand his military strength several times in Jizhou and Youzhou without leaving a trace.
Although Wang Jun and Di Lan can be said to be the top richest people in Jizhou, they are definitely not as good as Liu Bei in terms of military pay.
The soldiers and generals recruited by these princes and kings were subordinate to Liu Jian. The next step was to turn them into his direct soldiers and generals, and the princes and kings would slowly become his agents.
Although Zhang He could guess the true thoughts of Wang Jun and Di Lan in his mind, I could tell the deepest secrets of the seven people, and the drama that was going to be played on the surface still had to be played.
Zhang He estimated that if the two of us had no choice but to abandon Liu Ye in the future, we would be able to receive more scolding in the Hejian Kingdom without a bad reputation foundation.
Why are Wang Jun and Di Lan still worrying about being loyal?
