In the evening, some palace people came back one after another.
Inside and outside the Daming Palace, because the palace was severely damaged, the soldiers set up many tents on the spot to live and cook, creating a smoky atmosphere.
There is no other way. The Food Bureau cannot provide dinner for two thousand sergeants, so the auxiliary soldiers still have to cook it themselves.
Shao Shude refused the catering bureau's kindness and did not trust the food and wine they provided. Instead, he went to the army to eat with the soldiers, which gained an additional wave of military morale.
Xingdao, Kaihua, Wuben and other high-end rifangs have been controlled by the Xia army. Shao Shude moved into the "public rental housing" in Xingdaofang. He once lived in the old residence of Princess Taiping, which was previously occupied by Prime Minister Zheng Yanchang, but Prime Minister Zheng's family fled there.
Ji County, Prime Minister Zheng himself accompanied him in Lantian.
From the moment I moved in, this very large mansion was bustling with people, and countless people came to see me.
Shao Shude is too lazy to see him, not to mention that with his current status, he cannot see anyone casually. Low-level officials, even Chen Cheng and Zhao Guangfeng may not be able to see each other, let alone Marshal Shao...
"Next year I want to adjust the zoning of the towns." With the help of the soldiers, Shao Shude took off his heavy armor, put on loose casual clothes, and sat comfortably on the bed.
He is a very cautious and conservative person. When he goes out, he always behaves like a neatly dressed warrior. On the one hand, he has a good image in the eyes of the sergeants and feels that he is one of their own. On the other hand, it is also for safety.
There were so many soldiers around him, and they looked so fierce. Any dog that came near would be slapped twice, let alone people.
Basically, the only thing that could kill him was internal chaos, and assassination from the outside was very difficult.
As the core staff, Chen Cheng and Zhao Guangfeng are also surrounded by twenty soldiers who are well-informed and well-informed people recruited from the northern part of the country. They are affiliated with the Duyu Housi to ensure their safety.
"Who does the commander want to attack?" Chen Cheng said with a smile.
Zhao Guangfeng has a serious face and such a character.
"Wang Bian was transferred to Fengtian Jiedushi and Qianzhou governor. He has found a place. I will live up to him." Shao Shude said: "Huazhou has been returned to Tonghua Town, let's not care about it for the time being. Yingning, Jingyuan, Shaanxi and Guosan
Zhen, how do you think this should be done?"
Seeing that Shao Shude limited the scope to these three small vassal towns, Chen and Zhao understood that their lord did not intend to make a big deal, but instead made small repairs and slowly digested it.
"Why not abolish the town of Jingyuan?" Chen Cheng suggested: "Sun Ba, the commander-in-chief of Jing, is over fifty years old and has not been a director recently. Why not abolish this town and merge the two prefectures of Jing and Yuan into Shuofang?"
"If Sun Pushe is kind to me, he must have a good place to go," Shao Shude said.
Everyone who follows him will be rich and have a good death, etc. This has always been the core "corporate culture" of the Lingxia Military and Political Group, and it is also an important weapon used to attract talents. Your power is already limited here. If you are even rich,
If there is no happy ending, then what’s the attraction? Why should I fight for you?
Of course, ambitious warriors would definitely not want to vote. People would rather be without wealth and precarious than fight for the last chance.
"Commander, it's better to do this." Chen Cheng quickly thought of a plan and said: "Abolish the town of Binning, and merge the three prefectures of Bin, Ning, and Qing into Shuofang Town. Marshal Li Bai will be transferred to Jingyuan Jiedushi and Jingzhou.
As the governor, Zhao Cen was appointed as the deputy envoy of Jingyuan Jiedu and the governor of Yuanzhou. Tonghua Town was dismissed, Tongzhou was merged into Shuofang Town, and Shaanxi Town was established to control the four prefectures of Shaanxi, Guo, Hua, and Shao, and govern Shaanxi Prefecture. Sun Pushe could be appointed
Shaanxi Jiedu Deputy Envoy and Huazhou Governor, and Sun Jinde, Shanzhou Tuanlian Envoy, was promoted to Kuozhou Governor."
Shao Shude closed his eyes and thought for a while.
In Chen Cheng's plan, some people's interests must be harmed and others benefited.
In the three prefectures of Jingnan Army (Yining Town), none of them can govern the place despite the exchange of Jiedushi envoys in the past few years. The three-crop rotation system, prefecture and county schools, etc. have been implemented with great stumbling. If it is merged into Shuofang Town,
The lives of 300,000 people in the three prefectures and nineteen counties will begin to change. The Xia Palace can invest appropriate manpower and material resources to transform this place with few people and more land. While strengthening the strength of the "Xia Kingdom", it can also improve the local people.
life.
Li Bai would definitely not be happy to be the governor of Jingyuan. After all, Jingyuan Town only has a population of about 150,000, which is too small. But in this kind of thing, someone's interests will always be harmed. If Li Bai is not willing, he can only transfer
The Tianxiong Army and the Shunyi Army suppressed it. He only had two or three thousand state soldiers at hand, and the internal opinions were not necessarily unified. Let's see what he will do.
Of course, there was someone whose interests were more harmed than Li Bai, and that was Li Fan, the governor of the Baoyi Army.
He still has thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, but there is a suspicion in Nanyang that Shao Shude's patience with him has reached its limit. Next year, he will find a way to get rid of this man. If he obeys, he will be safe and prosperous in his life.
Any questions. If you don't obey, it will be ugly.
"This matter must be kept secret. I originally wanted the Baoyi Army to continue to guard Nanyang for a year, but now it seems that they have to be transferred back. After I am fully prepared, I will resolve the matters in the two towns of Ping and Shaanxi." Shao Shude said.
.
Chen Cheng and Zhao Guangfeng responded in succession.
This matter is very sensitive and may involve the use of force, which is very troublesome.
"Some things must be solved. Li Fan has also been a military governor for several years. He started as a town general and has been rich and powerful for several years. I have not treated him badly." Shao Shude sighed.
In fact, was he really not treated badly? Maybe.
Shao Shude just comforted himself in this way and strengthened his determination. After all, in this life, it is impossible for a person to have everything he wants, to do everything according to his own ideas, and to have a clear conscience in everything he does throughout his life. He can only do his best.
After annexing the 27 counties of Pi, Ning, Qing, and Tongzhou, the population of Shuofang Town will reach more than two million, covering 87 counties of 19 states. This is the most stable and core territory under its rule.
The local people's sentiments are in line, and everyone knows Shao Sheng and appreciates Shao's virtues, so there is not much risk of rebellion.
Shao Shude once thought about whether to set up Lingzhou to stay behind when he was fighting abroad. Now it seems that there is not much need. His Xia Kingdom is very stable.
As for other territories, they can be roughly divided into subordinate forces and vassal forces.
Affiliated forces include the upcoming Shaanxi Town, Fengtian Town, Jingyuan Town, Longyou Town, Hexi Town, Heyang Town, and Jinshang Town.
The vassal forces are the six towns of Shannan West Road, Longjian, Fengxiang, Hezhong, Tang Dengsui, and Zhongyijun.
Affiliated vassal towns can replace Jiedushi, appoint governors, and collect taxes. In addition to staying in the state, the warehouses that were previously delivered to the military envoys' Yamen are now taken over by the Xia Prince's Palace. However, the Jiedushi himself also has considerable power, but there is no Yamen army and only a few state soldiers.
.
Gu Jun/span> The vassal vassal towns generally made their own decisions. They did not need to send taxes to the palace, but only needed to pay some tribute from time to time. They had yamen of varying sizes and had the obligation to send troops to fight according to orders.
The principle of digestion at this stage is to gradually annex subordinate vassal towns, bring them under the control of the Xia Palace, and gradually expand the territory of the "Xia Kingdom".
For vassal towns, the focus was on infiltration and transformation, and they gradually turned into subordinate vassal towns. The first one to operate was the Baoyi Army.
Among the states under the jurisdiction of this vassal town, Huazhou was originally Wang Bian's territory, Shaozhou was newly established, and Guozhou was slowly cleaned up after Huang Tao became the governor. It can be said that it is the vassal town with the least difficulty in transformation.
"Chen Changshi" Shao Shude suddenly asked: "If you perform surgery on Li Fan, will everyone be in danger?"
Cutting off vassalage has always been a very sensitive matter.
You can't act haphazardly, and you can't make drastic measures. You can only digest it slowly when you seize the opportunity.
Li Fan's ineffectiveness in combat is indeed a crime. But it may also cause other people to hesitate. After all, "incompetent in combat" is a bit too broad. It may seem like an attempt to impose a crime, but in fact it is almost the same.
"Commander, are you worried about Tangzhou and Fengxiang Mansion?" Chen Cheng was very courageous and said it directly.
Zhao Guangfeng was a step slower. He didn't know whether it was because he didn't want to offend the Zhe family, or because his mind was slower.
"To be honest, my father-in-law defeated the three states of Tang, Deng and Deng with one blow and one shot. He also deserves credit for the surrender of Zhao Kuangning and even the Jin and Shang states. I only sent the Dingyuan Army and the Leopard Cavalry to assist in the battle.
The big head is still the children of the Zhe family." Shao Shude said: "If Li Fan is moved, will the Zhe Laoling Guild have any ideas?"
Zhejia is currently the largest hilltop in the Kansai martial arts group led by Shao Shude. The two towns combined have one government and seven states, with a population of hundreds of thousands. The sergeants also have a certain fighting capacity, which should not be underestimated.
Unfortunately, the company's territory is not entirely due to Shao Shude. His own efforts account for a large proportion. The internal structure is monolithic and is very sensitive to handling.
"Don't worry, Commander." Chen Cheng said, "The Duke has no reason to rebel."
Zhao Guangfeng glanced at him secretly. Do you really not think about future generations when you talk about the powerful relatives?
"After the New Year, I want to go to Nanyang and Xiangyang. If I don't go, how will the sergeants recognize me?" Shao Shude nodded, made up his mind, and said, "I trust my father-in-law, but he is old.
, the energy is getting low day by day. Pei Yuan came to report that the military affairs in Tangzhou now have many difficulties for the generals from ancient times. I am not worried and have to go and have a look."
"Commander" Zhao Guangfeng interjected: "Please be careful when traveling to Nanyang."
Shao Shude smiled and said: "Since the army was launched, we have been fighting for more than ten years, and we have never seen any big winds or waves. Zhao Sima, don't worry, I will go south with tens of thousands of Tianxiong soldiers. Tianxiong's son is by my side, no one can deal with it.
It’s not good for me.”
The troops of the martial arts department are relatively reliable, and Shao Shude has always trusted them, just like he trusted Tielin, Wuwei and other troops.
As of this year, a total of 308 martial arts students have joined the army, and most of them are in the Tianxiong and Chishui 2nd Army. These are also two armies with relatively deep martial arts training. They have good obedience and high loyalty. Although the defense environment is affected,
There are still some flaws here and there, but it’s already very good.
This year, Xicheng County Martial Arts School and Jinzhou Martial Arts School have also opened. The county martial arts school has enrolled 50 people, and the state martial arts school has enrolled 24 people. Next year, Fushi County Martial Arts School and Yanzhou Martial Arts School will also be opened to transform the martial arts of each army.
Gradually go deeper. As for the martial arts hall, Shao Shude has already planned to move to Anyi, so that he can visit at any time.
And when the martial arts department's army becomes mature and the eldest son is about the same age, some plans can be implemented.
"Commander, there is news from Lantian County that the saint has set off for the capital under the escort of the Shence Army." During the interval of planning the "conspiracy", Zheng Yong observed his words and walked in to report.
"I understand." Shao Shude nodded and said to Chen and Zhao: "This matter involves secrets and is not allowed to be spread outside. You two are responsible for what I just said. I will ask Lu Huaizhong and Zang Dubao to cooperate with you.
Make it beautiful."
"As ordered." Chen and Zhao said in unison.
"Commander" Zheng Yong hasn't left yet, and he seems to have something to say.
"Speak. I'm listening." Shao Shude ordered the soldiers to make another pot of tea and said.
"The sage sent the lieutenant-general Liu Jishu to deliver an edict, 'Li Bao, this thief, cannot be punished for his crime. Now that he has been captured, why not kill him? How can I understand my thoughts deeply?'" Zheng Yong said orally.
"Let Liu Jishu come in." Shao Shude said expressionlessly.
Liu Jishu arrived soon. As soon as he came, he shouted "I'm wronged" and said: "I just want to pass on a message, Your Highness, please spare my life."
"I didn't say I wanted to kill you, why are you panicking?" Shao Shude scolded: "What else can the saint say?"
"The sage decreed that after killing Li Bao, you can return to the army and return to the town. Virtue and fame will benefit the history of the country." Liu Jishu replied.
"Someone must have corrected the edict and messed up the fate." Shao Shude said: "I would also like to trouble Liu Palace Superintendent to rush over and pass a message for me."
"Yes." Liu Jishu lowered his head respectfully.
"My Lord is running around, shocking both China and foreign countries, and facing numerous difficulties and dangers, which are difficult to describe in detail." Shao Shude stood up, walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said: "I raised a powerful army, worked hard, couldn't sleep at night, and finally pacified the rebellious party. Lord, I don't want to think about it.
The hard work of transferring lives, the effectiveness of soldiers fighting in bloody battles, and those who were punished for their ancient loyalty, just like this!"
Liu Jishu wrote it down silently.
"We are extremely dedicated to serving the country!" Shao Shude sighed, turned to look at Liu Jishu, and said, "There are so many princes in the Li family, how can one be the king of the world?"
Liu Jishu was so frightened that he sat down on the ground. Provide you with the fastest updates and free reading.
