Chapter six hundred and twenty seventh imperial power fight
Of course, the Hexi Army captured not only Taiyuan Prefecture, but also Taiyuan Prefecture, Shizhou, Fenzhou, Lanzhou, Xinzhou, Daizhou, Shuozhou, Yunzhou, Yuzhou, etc., which were occupied by the Yuan family.
In terms of territory, except for the governor of Yunzhou who was replaced by Guo Song because he defected to the Huihe people, the other governors did not have much public anger, and Guo Song basically allowed them to stay in office.
Just like the reason for appointing the family, the most important thing for Hedong now is stability, stable public sentiment, stable economy, and stable situation. Only this can create conditions for his next move.
In the past two days, governors from various states have arrived in Taiyuan one after another. They came to attend the opening ceremony of Taiyuan's new mansion, but this was just a reason. The real reason was to pay homage to the new Lord of the Northeastern part of the river.
The official offices in the front half of Jinyang Palace have been reopened, and the sign of Hedong Jiedushi has been officially hung up. Guo Song once again served as Hedong Jiedushi and also served as Hedong Road Observer, commanding military and political power. However, as Hedong Jiedushi and Hedong
There is only one Suzhengtai Inspection Office under the Observation Mission, which is responsible for supervising government affairs, military affairs and criminal law in Hedong.
The states still report directly to the Hexi Jiedu Prefecture. In fact, this is still a bit unreasonable. The Hexi Jiedu Prefecture should only be in charge of Hexi, but not Anxi, Beiting, Longyou, Shuofang, Hedong and other places. A royal palace should be established.
Just like Cao Cao's Palace of Wei Prince, Li Shimin's Palace of General Tiance formed its own official system.
In the past, each vassal town established a vassal office, which meant setting up its own palace and setting up officials. Now that everyone has been named a vassal king, of course, a small court was established directly under the royal palace.
Guo Song is now just a county king and has not yet obtained the power to open a government or appoint officials. He just used a flexible method and used the Hexi Jiedu Prefecture as his highest authority.
It seems a bit like bullying the honest people. The rebel towns all sealed the vassal kings, but the Jiedushi who supported the imperial court was just a county prince. But this was the political brilliance of Guo Song. He used a low profile in exchange for fame.
, supports orthodoxy and wins the support of families all over the world, but the actual benefits are not much at all.
In the inner hall of Hedong Jiedu Mansion, Guo Song met with the first governor who came to visit him, Yunzhou governor Li Dian. Li Dian was originally the Sima of Shuozhou. A few years ago, he organized a militia to resist the harassment of a small group of Uighur soldiers going south. He was very popular among the people.
His reputation was very high. After Guo Song ordered the execution of the governor of Yunzhou who had taken refuge with the Huihe people, he appointed Li Dian as the governor of Yunzhou and concurrently as the magistrate of Yunzhong County.
There is only one county in Yunzhou, Yunzhong, with a population of less than 10,000. However, the pottery industry is relatively developed. Every household makes ceramics and sells them to Huihe and Sijie. In addition to Yunzhou County, there are also some scattered Han towns in other places.
There are many herders, and the total population is only 10,000 households.
Although Yunzhou has a sparse population, its strategic position is very important. It is the bridgehead for the Turks or Uighurs to invade the south. This time the Hexi Army killed 3,000 Uighur troops stationed in Yunzhou. I believe that the Uighurs cannot swallow this bad breath and will definitely return.
will invade again.
Therefore, Guo Song attached great importance to both Li Dian and Yunzhou, and was the first to receive Li Dian.
"How is the public sentiment in Yunzhou now?" Guo Song asked.
"Envoy Qi, after we regained Yunzhou, we actually cut off the source of income of the people of Yunzhou to a certain extent."
"Why is this?" Guo Song asked puzzledly.
"After the Uighurs occupied Yunzhou, in order to control it for a long time, they used the means of win-win to purchase a large amount of ceramics fired by the people of Yunzhou. Our occupation of Yunzhou actually cut off the people of Yunzhou's financial path."
"The pottery they make can be sold in Taiyuan, isn't it the same?"
Li Dian smiled bitterly and said: "You don't know something. Maybe the Uighur people don't have high requirements for quality, but only require large size and practicality. Therefore, Yunzhou pottery is generally large in size and clumsy in shape. That kind of clumsy pottery is shipped to Taiyuan.
No one will want it."
"Then the government can buy it and sell it to the Sijie people, or transport it to Hexi and sell it to the Qiang and Tubo people. They should be able to accept it."
"Bizhi also thought about it this way. The government would purchase the land first, and then let them slowly switch to farming. It would take three years to solve the problem."
"What about the defense situation in Yunzhong City?" Guo Song asked again.
"I would like to inform you that the defense situation of Yunzhong City is not bad. After all, it was once the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty. It has a very good foundation. The city wall is built with large bluestones from Wuzhou Mountain. It is strong and strong, with a height of three feet. The city head is wide and the circumference is forty miles.
, you can grow grain and vegetables in the city. If there are 10,000 troops guarding Yunzhou County, the Uighurs will not be able to attack."
Guo Song took a few steps with his hands behind his back. He had fought countless nomads and knew their offensive strategies. Yunzhong City was not the target of the Huihe people. They generally did not attack the city, but directly bypassed the city and went south.
Of course, if the Uighurs just wanted to restore their rule over Yunzhou, they would definitely attack Yunzhong City, and this possibility was extremely high.
Thinking of this, Guo Song said to Li Dian: "After I finish this period of work, I will return to Hexi from Yunzhou and take a closer look at the city defense situation in Yunzhong."
........
The Battle of Taiyuan in Hedong finally shocked the world. Zhu Tao was severely defeated, but the Hexi army destroyed the Yuan clan and occupied the eight prefectures in the northern part of Hedong Road. This attracted the attention of all the vassals and towns and shocked Zhu Si, but the one that had the greatest impact was
The imperial court of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
For several days, the streets of Chengdu and the court officials were all talking about the Battle of Taiyuan. If the Hexi Army's occupation of Shuofang made Guo Song the veritable king of the west, then the Hexi Army's capture of Taiyuan and the annihilation of the Yuan clan were like a sharp sword.
Straight into the Central Plains, like a great roc flying under the nine heavens, sending out a high-pitched cry to the world, Guo Song finally grew up step by step and became a mountain that hundreds of officials and the world looked up to.
However, at this time, another disturbing haze was looming in the Chengdu court. The Supreme Emperor still controlled the military power. He used eunuchs as supervisors to control the armies of Zhejiang, Jiangnan West Road and Lingnan Road. At the same time, he used
The army was the starting point, controlling the appointment and dismissal of local officials outside Bashu and the transfer of finance and taxation. Without the consent of the Supreme Emperor, not even a penny could be transported into Bashu.
However, Emperor Li Yi only controlled Chengdu and Bashu, and the Southern Tang Dynasty actually formed two centers of power. Only then did the officials understand that Emperor Li Shi's abdication was actually a retreat in order to advance, and he was not really willing to give up.
that power.
In order to obtain the salt tax from Jianghuai and the money and grain from Zhejiang and Zhejiang, Li Yi had to compromise with his father and give up the right to appoint the prime minister.
In the imperial garden, Li Shi walked slowly with a stick, followed by his confidant eunuch Huo Xianming. Li Shi was good at playing politics. He not only controlled the military power and the power of the prime minister, but also set up the position of Military Counselor in the palace to coordinate
Participate in the military affairs of the world.
He appointed Huo Xianming to take this position, which inadvertently created a competitive situation between Huo Xianming and Song Chaofeng, causing the eunuchs in the palace to split into two camps: the Song Party and the Huo Party. They usually competed for power, but at the same time they could jointly deal with the court under his coordination.
Hundreds of officials.
"Your Majesty, Du Guqiu proposed this morning to make Guo Song the King of Jin and allow him to open a palace and appoint officials. The emperor was a little hesitant, but both the right prime minister Han Huang and the left prime minister Zhang Yanshang were unanimously opposed."
Li Shi was a little puzzled and said: "It's really strange. Wasn't Guo Song promoted by Han Huang? Why is Han Huang also opposed to this?"
"Han Huang himself said that he never took matters into his own hands. He used to support Guo Song in guarding the border, but now Guo Song is too powerful and is in danger of losing control. At this time, he can only shrink his ambitions, not indulge them."
"Reducing its ambitions?"
Li Shi sneered, "Guo Song has grown up, so how can he shrink? Fortunately, he is still the right prime minister. Doesn't he know that at this time, he can only sparse but not block?"
"Best regards, Your Majesty!"
Huo Xianming quickly flattered him and said: "Actually, I also feel that Han Huang's criticism of Guo Song at this time is actually shirking his responsibility for recommending Guo Song in the first place. The emperor is too young to see through this, and the emperor still has a bright eye."
Li Shi took two steps and said again: "Which of those Hebei feudal towns is not a prince named by the imperial court? What's wrong with making Guo Song the king of Jin? Not only should he be made a king, but he should also be allowed to open a mansion and appoint officials, admit the facts, and be a favor.
It can be considered as winning over him."
"The old slave fully agrees with the emperor's opinion. Instead of letting Zhu Si make him king, it would be better for your majesty to do so personally. Moreover, Guo Song is a foreign official, so naturally the emperor should appoint him. The old slave suggests that he should be appointed before the emperor.
Purpose."
Li Shi nodded slowly. Huo Xianming still understood him very well and won Guo Song to his side. In the future, he would need his strong support to regain the throne. Li Yi did not realize the importance of Guo Song's appeal and was still young.
A little bit.
After pondering for a moment, Li Shi said: "I heard that he built the Tiance Tower, so I will make him a Tiance General and allow him to open a mansion and appoint officials. How about that?"
"Your Majesty, it seems that Zhang Guangsheng of the puppet dynasty is also a general of Tiance."
Li Shi sneered, "Who is he? He is worthy of being called General Tiance. As long as Guo Song is promoted to General Tiance, he will have to change his official position."
"The Emperor's insight into the world is beyond the reach of others!"
In the afternoon of the same day, Li Shi promulgated the edict of the Supreme Emperor in the inner palace, commending Guo Song for regaining the northern capital of Taiyuan and annihilating the rebel Yuan family. He was conferred the title of King of Jin and the title of General Tiance, encouraging him to annihilate the puppet dynasty and restore the foundation of the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible.
