Xishe Peng was carrying an imperial edict and leading his troops to cross the border. According to the rules, Han Qian needed to welcome the imperial edict in order to further know the court's specific handling of the civil unrest in Sizhou.
Feng Liao was not in Chenzhong, so the posts of Governor Shi and Chenzhong County Magistrate were taken over by Zhao Jicheng, the chief registrar, and Xi Xunqiao, the Sihu joined the army. They rushed to the other side of the river with their people overnight and summoned the craftsmen on the side of the post road.
A simple official shed was built with bamboo and wood.
Before noon the next day, when he learned that the elite of Chenzhou Fanying had entered Chenzhong County, Han Qian led Gao Shao, Feng Yi, Kong Xirong, Xi Chang and other Qianzhou government officials to cross the Chen River by boat and enter the official shed.
, waiting for Xishe Peng to come over.
Xishe Peng did not dare to advance slowly with his soldiers and horses, so he asked Han Qian to wait in the official shed for a long time. When he learned that Han Qian had crossed the Chen River, he took a dozen of his horsemen and galloped over to meet Han Qian first.
Yang Xingfeng's son, Yang Hu, naturally returned to Sizhou with Xi Shepeng, but besides Yang Hu, there were three other people. They were An Xiang, the commander of the right capital of Jinyun Division, and a rich man who had served as the magistrate of Langxi County after regaining Jinling City.
Geng Fuwen, Mo's son, and Han Chengmeng, Han Daoming's concubine and former director of Hunan Province.
Anji Xiang, Geng Fuwen, and Han Chengmeng rushed back to Chenyang with Yang Hu and Cao Xiushi yesterday afternoon. Since Xiying had already made preparations to send troops to reinforce Sizhou in Chenyang, and the situation in Sizhou was really critical, they today
At dawn, we set off from Chenyang again and entered Chenzhong County of Xuzhou with the elite of Chenzhou Fanying.
When Han Qian was appointed as the Military Envoy of Guangde, Geng Fuwen, as a representative of a descendant of the Xuanzhou family, had also served as an official in the Imperial Envoy, waiting to be called upon, so they were no strangers to each other.
Last night Xiying sent someone over, saying only that his son Xishepeng was crossing the border with his troops under the imperial edict, but did not say anything else. At this moment, he saw Anji Xiang, Geng Fuwen, and Han Chengmeng, along with Yang Hu and Xishepeng appearing at the border.
In front of him, Han Qian was shocked, and his expression also darkened.
Gao Shao, Feng Yi, Kong Xirong, Xi Xunqiao, Zhao Jicheng and others were all shocked that something bad had happened.
Not to mention Han Chengmeng, Anji Xiang was the commander of the right capital of Jinyun Division, and Geng Fuwen was the county magistrate of Langxi County, Guangde Prefecture. The two of them appeared in Xuzhou for no reason.
This means that the whole thing is not just as simple as dispatching troops from Chenzhou to help suppress the civil unrest in Sizhou. It is most likely the imperial court's response to Chenxu, Ye, and Sizhou, and may even involve the military and civilians in a larger area in the southwest of Dachu.
There have been major policy adjustments.
But Xuzhou had no knowledge of this.
"I didn't expect to see the Marquis of Qianyang again so soon." Anji Xiang, as a confidant of Emperor Yanyou and the most respected eunuch, walked into the simple official shed and saluted Han Qian.
Seeing the shocked and gloomy expressions on the faces of Han Qian, Gao Shao and others, Anji Xiang was secretly proud.
Han Qian said that he was withdrawing all his troops to Xuzhou, not to mention other people. Anji Xiang didn't believe it, but at this time he was sure that Han Qian could not grasp the movements of the DPRK and China in time.
He conducted such raids for the purpose of verification.
Han Qian lost his mind for a while, and exchanged a few shabby words with An Xiang about worldliness, and asked: "I wonder if Mr. An has come all the way to Xuzhou this time. Does your majesty have any new orders for Han Qian?"
"On the birthday of Empress Li and the Empress Dowager, the Marquis prepared generous gifts and took me to Jinling. The Empress Dowager and Empress Li both gave gifts in return. The Marquis is an important minister of the Chu State and cannot be neglected. Your Majesty asked me to go there again and will
The Empress Dowager and Empress Li will give you the reward," Anji Xiang said lightly. "As for how to deal with the civil unrest in Sizhou, your Majesty's orders are contained in the edicts held by Magistrate Yang and General Shepeng."
Han Qian calmly led the officials of Chenzhou to greet Yang Hu and wash away the edict held by Peng.
The content of the edict is very simple. Xi Shepeng will lead a part of the elite troops of the Chenzhou camp into Sizhou to suppress the attack. The soldiers and horses of Chenzhou and Yezhou will each guard their own territory to prevent the mob from escaping and provide a certain amount of food, fodder and weapons. , to ensure the cost of suppressing the rebellion in Sizhou. If the civil unrest in Sizhou is still difficult to control, all matters will be decided by the Hunan Province.
"The follow-up matter will be decided by the Hunan Shangshu Province. What does this mean?" Han Qian held the edict in his hand and put his sleeves behind his back. He did not say that he would return the edict in Emperor Yanyou's hand to Yang Hu or Xishe Peng. Instead, ask Anji Xiangdao.
After the vassal reduction war, Emperor Tianyou followed the old system of the previous dynasty and established the Shangshu Province in Tanzhou. He appointed Yang Yuanpu as the Shangshu Ling, and appointed Shen Yang and Li Pu as his left and right prime ministers to take charge of the military and administration of the Tanlang states in Eyue.
After the recapture of Jinling and Yang Yuanpu's accession to the throne, Shen Yang, Li Pu, Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang, Zhang Chao and others were moved to serve as central political ministers. Although the Hunan Shangshu Province was not abolished, there were not even any officials guarding the Yamen. Liu, and Tanzhou prefectures all became empty, while E, Lang, Yue, and Tanzhou were all under the direct jurisdiction of the central government.
There is not a single official left in Hunan Xingshangshu Province. How will the Hunan Xingshangshu Province decide on the follow-up matters?
Gao Shao, Xi Xunqiao and others also looked at An Xiang, wondering what new policies Emperor Yanyou and the court had decided to implement on the Hunan states in such a short period of time.
"Your Majesty and the ministers who participated in the political affairs reported to the Queen Mother for a resolution, and decided to appoint Huang Hua, the governor of Huzhou, to serve as the ambassador of Hunan Province and the governor of various states, to act as the agent for the military and civilian affairs of Tanlangyue and other Hunan states, and to appoint Wu Zun as the inspector of Hunan Province. The envoy is in charge of the lawsuits and supervision of the prisons in various states, and Mr. Chen Fan and Chen are the envoys in charge of the wealth." Anji Xiang said calmly and calmly, "From now on, not only Yuelangtan, Shaoheng, Zhujing Zhizhou and Si Yechen said that all matters concerning Jizhou were decided by the Hunan Province, and the Shenwu Army stationed on the left side of Wuzhisiling was also under the control of Huang Xuanwei. Considering that the civil unrest in Sizhou would involve a wide range of things, Huang Xuanwei asked His Majesty to report to the province. There is a special Protectorate Department under the command, with Mr. Fu as the doctor-in-charge, who coordinates the affairs of Sichenxuye and other Jixi prefectures. Mr. Fu has brought a copy of the book and asked the Marquis to read it..."
Emperor's orders are called edicts, which usually refer to orders that are relatively arbitrary and unsystematic, while book-making is more formal and becomes a system once the order is issued. In addition to the jade seal, it is also necessary to print the edict on the minister's desk and publish it to the world. was officially established.
Fu Gengwen produced a copy of the book to show that the Great Chu Dynasty had reformed the Hunan Province and appointed Huang Hua, Wu Zun, Chen Fan and others to be responsible for the specific details of military and civilian taxation and supervision of prison litigation.
Han Qian grabbed the imperial edict that Yang Hu had previously carried in his hand, and took the copy from Fu Gengwen and read it carefully.
At the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, the system of prefectures and counties was implemented. In the Han Dynasty, the world was divided into thirteen prefectures and prefectures, and three levels of management were formed: prefectures, prefectures and counties.
In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, due to the widespread establishment of prefectures in local areas, the area under the jurisdiction of a prefecture shrank seriously and was actually equivalent to the previous counties. Therefore, a two-level system of prefectures and counties was formed in the local area.
However, for the convenience of jurisdiction, in the middle and early stages of the former dynasty, the states in the world were divided into ten regions, and supervisory envoys were set up, who were mainly responsible for the criminal law, inspections and other matters of a large region. However, the three local jurisdictions of the Han Dynasty had not been restored in a true sense. level management.
This time, the Great Chu Dynasty officially added Xuanwei, Supervisory Envoys and Transfer Envoys under the Hunan Province to handle military and civilian affairs, criminal law supervision, financial affairs and other matters.
This is actually equivalent to implementing three-level management of province, state and county in Hunan.
At the provincial level, there are also envoys for propaganda, inspection, and transfer to decentralize power and check and balance each other.
In other words, the jurisdiction of Chen, Xu, Ye, Si, and the more remote Jixi prefectures in central Guizhou falls in Hunan Province; Hunan Province even established a new Dufu Department modeled on the previous Duhufu system.
Handle related matters.
The administrative seat of Hunan Province will be moved back to Tanzhou in order to strengthen the southern military defense nearby. Starting from Tanzhou, passing through Shaozhou, crossing the Xuefeng Mountain Post Road, or passing through Langzhou, passing through Chenzhou, and arriving in Syria
The distance between states will save one or two days of travel.
The province of Hunan was reactivated. Although Chai Jian, who commanded the Zuo Shenwu Army in Shaozhou and Wuzhisiling, had a golden ring on his head, it was mainly aimed at Xuzhou.
Compared with the past, when there was something going on in the Chenxu Prefectures and they sent envoys to Jinling to discuss the matter, they would be delayed for almost a month or two on the way. Soon things would brew and explode very quickly. With such a delay, it would be difficult for Jinling to stop the deterioration of the situation in time.
For example, during the civil unrest in Sizhou, it has been two months since Yang Hu last passed through Chenzhong. The province of Hunan was reactivated and jurisdiction was delegated to the province. If something happened in Chenzhou, it could be resolved within three days.
Once the documents are delivered to the Xuanwei Envoy, the efficiency will naturally be greatly improved.
At this time, Huang Hua, Wu Zun, Chen Fan and others were still on the road, and Fu Gengwen and Han Chengmeng, who was an official of Hunan Province, arrived in Xuzhou with Yang Hu in advance to supervise the civil unrest in Sizhou on behalf of Hunan Province.
of the Qing Dynasty.
Anji Xiang was nominally ordered to send gifts from the Queen Mother and the Empress to Xuzhou, but his more fundamental purpose was to monitor whether the supervision of the Hunan Province and the Protectorate Department could be effectively implemented in Chenxuyesi Zhujizhou.
…
Gao Shao, Xi Xunqiao, Feng Yi, Kong Xirong and others looked ugly.
Xuzhou didn't even hear the slightest news about such an important political adjustment in the Chu court, and it was suddenly implemented. Everyone knew it was aimed at Xuzhou.
However, Anji Xiang didn't care whether the faces of the people in Xuzhou looked good or not, he raised his hands and said: "General Shepeng has to lead his troops into Hujian Pass before nightfall. I will go with the Marquis to Chenzhong County, so I won't delay them in leading his troops to suppress the bandits."
Alright."
From Chenyang City to Hujian Pass, it is a hundred and twenty miles along the post road on the north bank of Chenshui. It usually takes two days for infantry troops to march, but the elite soldiers of the infantry camp are soldiers of tigers and wolves, and they can rush to Hujian Pass in one day.
Jianguan, but it is not difficult.
Anji Xiang thought in his heart that he would personally keep an eye on Han Qian and not give Xuzhou a chance to do anything. As long as Xishepeng led his troops into Jinhe County and won one or two battles, the situation in Sizhou would be settled.
He can also feel relieved.
At this time, Han Qian returned the edict and the book to Yang Hu respectively. Geng Fuwen, with a slightly bright face, said: "Unfortunately, there is something wrong with the construction of the river dam in Lao Yaling. The newly built river dam is in danger and may happen at any time.
Collapse. If the Chenzhou camp continues to advance westward according to the planned route today, there may be a risk of being hit by a flood. If Chenzhou had sent someone to report the news one day earlier, I would have dispatched a dozen warships from Qianyang to deliver the missiles.
General Peng's troops went directly to Gaoyiyu to disembark - now it seems that it may be delayed for two days!"
"How could such a coincidence happen?" Yang Hu asked anxiously.
"Young Master, if you don't believe me, Laoya Ridge is twenty miles ahead. Young Master, you can ask Mr. An and Mr. Geng to come over and take a look," Han Qian said with his hands folded. "To be honest, if Mr. An and Mr. Geng don't come, I will
I was still worried that such a coincidence would make it difficult for Xuzhou to defend himself, but now I feel relieved."
