Chapter 169: Shangjing Fengyun (28)
It's time for Midi to settle the matter. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Xian is back, and now this world's first fortress belongs to him, standing on the tall city gate tower, looking into the distance, he can't help but be arrogant, and he feels like pointing out the country.
Liu Yong, who was dressed in a purple robe, and Chen Gongwei, who was elegant and free in a Confucian robe, accompanied each other.
"When the matter of Midi is settled, let Mr. Li and them move over, this place is safer after all. β
"That's what we're going to do. β
Liu Yong is still so loud.
"When the Holy Master is at the peak of his realm, he can't control his voice, Mr. Chen is a person who has no cultivation, I can't stand it anymore, my ears are buzzing, can Mr. Chen stand it." β
Zhang Xian plucked his ears dissatisfied, looked at Chen Gongwei, whose face was pale, and said dissatisfied with Liu Yong.
"Hey, hey."
Liu Yong smirked, he had just recently entered the introduction.
Chen Gongwei smiled bitterly and shook his head, it is really not easy to partner with this fierce man.
The three of them inspected for a week and returned to the Chinese army's big tent.
"Uncle Tai served tea, and Mr. Chen rested for a while, and then discussed the matter. β
Zhang Xian saw that Chen Gongwei was very tired, asked Uncle Tai to serve tea, and persuaded Chen Gongwei to rest.
Chen Gongwei is indeed not tired, he is an ordinary person, he can't cultivate, although his physique is good, but he followed Zhang Xian and Liu Yong for a morning, and he really couldn't bear it.
Chen Gongwei ate some snacks and went to rest.
"Uncle Tai, I will have to transfer him away in a while, you arrange for Mr. Chen to be escorted by no less than 100 people, and find a way to let the craftsman make a dual-purpose car that can be lifted and pushed, with a pergola, Mr. Chen will follow you, you have to take care of him. β
Zhang Xian instructed Liu Yong, and Liu Yong nodded in agreement.
An hour later, Chen Gongwei woke up, his face was much better, he took a sip of tea, and his spirit was much better.
"Our next step is to go to the capital, we have been planning for a long time, all kinds of schemes have been used, and the capital has become a mess, but we want to take him over, and it is still impossible to do it now, I think it will be decided in early autumn, Luo Song will call Luo Fan and let him report in detail." β
Zhang Xian asked Luo Song to find Luo Fan of Chentang, he was responsible for the summary and transmission of intelligence and information, the information was transmitted immediately, the information was not too urgent, it was summarized and submitted together, and the information on the side of the capital had been passed back from the Taoyuan Shogunate of Heze City, because Zhang Xian, Liu Yong and Chen Gongwei were still on patrol, so they were temporarily placed there by Luo Fan, wanting to find Luo Fan, don't look at the fortress is now in Zhang Xian's hands, but the four hall masters will not show up, Luo Song needs him because he needs to seize the fortress, he only shows his true face within the range of a very small number of people, and Luo Fan can also be found by Luo Songγ
After a while, Luo Song came over with a shopkeeper.
"Sit down, summon you over, first, there is some information that you need to solve, and secondly, there are a few of us here, and we will get to know you, that is to say, if there is urgent business in the future, you can come directly to General Liu and Mr. Chen, which not only saves a procedure, but also avoids misunderstandings." β
Zhang Xian's move is undoubtedly to tell the leaders of the Red Evil that Liu Yong and Chen Gongwei are the core figures and worthy of trust.
In the past, the senior leaders of the Red Evil, Liu Yong, Liao Weikai, etc., didn't know, they directly contacted Zhang Xian, which was also for safety, but now that the power is getting bigger and bigger, Zhang Xian doesn't have so much energy to manage too many things, so he shares it with some of the most trusted people, just like Li Wenhui and the current Liu Yong Chen Gongwei, there will be more in the future.
Luo Fan sorted out his thoughts and began to report.
The state of Chu had 206 cities, and before the Lianwu rebellion, it actually controlled 197 cities, and the other nine cities were seven cities on the sea, two overseas, namely Jinwan Island and Nanhai Island, seven vassal cities, and two vassal states.
After Lian Wu rebelled, he occupied more than 60 cities at once, most of which were in the southeastern mountainous area, where the Chu State was originally weak in its control.
The state of Chu is weakening, the nine cities on the sea and overseas have long been separated from the state of Chu, in addition to these, more than half of the remaining cities, if they are separated, and the king of Chu Wei can control them, there are only these cities that are closer to the capital, which is also because the power of the ten major families has shrunk and is inseparable from the king of Chu Wei, so that these cities can still be controlled.
This time Lian Wu invaded, like a wild locust, as soon as he walked, those cities that were about to leave were seriously damaged, the vast majority of slave owners and local officials were killed, and half of the people under the jurisdiction of each city rebelled with Lian Wu, otherwise where did Lian Wu come from so many people.
Lian Wu and the Chu army fought a big battle, both sides suffered more than one million casualties, it can be said that the corpses were all over the field and the blood flowed into a river, after the defeat of Lian Wu, the Chu army organized people to collect the corpses for more than ten days, the broken weapons and armor were piled up like hundreds of hills, and finally were sold to the family with an iron furnace by the king of Chu Wei, the corpse was pulled to the side of the Daling River, where two large and small hill-like graves were buried, one was the rebel and the other was the Chu army.
After this civil war, not only lost people, but also nearly 100 cities were deserted, and most of the people at the bottom followed Lian Wu's rebel army into the southeast mountainous area, and the rest were either old, weak, sick and disabled, or small slave owners and rich merchants who escaped the slaughter of the rebel army, even if the cities that were recovered by Miao Baichuan were not managed.
There are no losses left on the north bank of the Jingyang River and the city south of Shangjingcheng, of course, the sea and overseas do not count, where the rebels are unable to capture, the imperial court can not control, in fact, most of them have been taken by Yang Wenhui, and now Zhang Yu led people to rush over and gradually improve management.
"This is the current situation within the territory of the Chu State, in the capital city, according to the intention of the lord, successfully provoked civil strife, divided the relationship between the big clan and the royal family, and there was also a split within the royal family, making the king of Chu Wei anxious and had nothing to doγγγγγγ β
Luo Fan continued to explain, Liu Yong, Chen Gongwei, and Luo Song listened carefully, asking questions from time to time, and Luo Fan patiently solved his doubts.
The eight cities in the south have basically stabilized, and although there is no time to retain people to manage them north of the Jingyang River, Jingyang City is the sphere of influence of the Chai family, and the Chai family has been managed on behalf of Zhang Xian after he joined Zhang Xian.
Zhang Xian took a lot of trouble in order to win the Chai family, he rode the five-flower skull for two days and one night to travel more than 1,000 miles, killed the leader of the Wuyang Mountain giant bandits, rescued the young father, Chai Feng, the head of the Chai family, subdued those bandits, and used his personal strength to convince the remnants of the two righteous armies, and finally handed them over to the Chai family's young Chai Ming, and then asked Luo Ye to take over the Taoyuan shogunate's middle and the strategist Chen Pu, to assist Chai Ming, and the red evil tried his best to cooperate, so that the eldest prince did not make much contribution, and firmly attracted him and his children to the north city, and could not participate in the city to quell the chaos.
Zhang Xian successfully won over Miao, Fei, Qu, Bai, Fang, and Lin, six declining families, the Wei family wavered, Zhang Xian made the Wei family suffer a lot, and half of the industry was destroyed by the chaotic people.
"Miao Baichuan is now nominally rebelling for the Chu State, in fact, he is fighting for the Lord, and now most of the Chu cities are in our hands, but the most helpless thing is that we do not have so many troops and management talents, in the future, we will overthrow the Chu Dynasty, there will be more than 200 cities that need people to manage, after the war, each city needs at least 20,000 people to guard, that needs about 400,000 troops, our main battle army can not be busy with these things, so what we lack now is management talents and local troops. β
The city that Luo Fan said is not a city, but equivalent to a county in the Tang Dynasty in ancient China, except for the Great Qin State and a few princes on the Chenyue Continent, most of them are based on the city system, and the Great Qin State is the first country to implement the county system.
"We can't keep up with our follow-up forces now, there are so many empty cities, Chu State is unable to manage them, and we don't have the strength to accept them, this is our current dilemma. β
Zhang Xian answered.
"I have sent a letter to the Taoyuan shogunate, they suggested that the existing people should be promoted among the people, but it is not a way in the end, our people, the vast majority of people are the lowest level of society, and it is okay to fight with the army, but let them manage the place, some of them catch ducks on the shelves, I have an idea, that is, to run a school, but also to run a civil and military academy, now I can only say that the reserve follow-up forces, to solve the current dilemma is not needed, I also have the idea of asking for help from the Zhang family in Jianye City, but I don't like that kind of family management method, there are great drawbacks to doing that, you should also know this, there is also a way is the children of those declining families in Chu State, but one comes, the state of Chu is immortal, they dare not come forward if they have scruples, secondly, these people's selfish interests are too heavy, they must focus on the interests of the family, such people will be used in the future, but not now, even if they are used in the future, they can't be used in important positions, it's difficult!"
Zhang Xian sighed.
"We might as well set up a recruitment hall in the eastern part of the fortress, no matter where we come from, as long as we are talented. β
Chen Gongwei proposed.
"That's a good idea, and that's what Mr. Law. β
"Multi-pronged, selection in the army, recruitment hall recruitment, friends introduced, the lord is not a good relationship with several major sects, send them a goodwill γγγγγγγγγ"
Chen Gongwei put forward a lot of suggestions, Zhang Xian accepted, and several other people also put forward their own opinions, and discussed until the evening, Chen Gongwei let Zhang Xian look at the record, Zhang Xian read it carefully, changed a few places and passed it on to everyone, and after adding and deleting some of them, Zhang Xian signed and approved.
Zhang Xian didn't expect that the Chu State was so corrupt, he just used some tricks to make a mess of the Chu State, and the plan to capture the Chu State was so smooth.
Smoothly, the problem is also coming, lack of people, lack of talents, lack of a large number of talents.
Also, in the future, if you occupy the territory of Chu State, have a huge territory, and still become a vassal state, then you have to formulate a system and manage it formally.
The formulation of a national system is not such a simple matter, it involves all aspects and involves the interests of all parties, and it is a headache.
Zhang Xian had already prepared for this, and spent several days with Luoyu writing an outline with reference to the system of the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, so that the people of the Taoyuan Shogunate would have a headache.
After dealing with some emergency matters, Zhang Xian began to ponder and ponder the matter of dealing with Midi.
During this time, the people of Midland may have also received the news and launched several breakthrough battles, wanting to break through the two exits of Midland.
When they built the secret land, they made an urn city that could not be entered from the inside and could be entered from the outside, but now they have trapped themselves,.....γγ (To be continued.) )
