Chapter 869: Governing Yang City
Post-war matters such as Yangcheng's institutional setting, the stability and repair of all walks of life, and the reorganization of resources cannot be decided in a day, so Yi Xingchen just handed over these issues to Wei Yingcai and them to deal with. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As for himself, he shifted his attention and paid attention to the overall pattern of Jiangzhou.
After the end of the war in Yangcheng, the situation of the Xinghua Empire in the Xia Kingdom went further. Therefore, Yi Xingchen and the Imperial Cabinet needed to refine the administrative division of Jiangzhou and discuss the specific development policy of Jiangzhou.
Therefore, Yi Xingchen then convened all cabinet ministers to discuss together, and compiled the results into a document and sent it to Jiangzhou.
In the instrument, several specific provisions are listed.
First of all, according to the special situation of Jiangzhou and the requirements of the situation of all-weather defense of the Xia Army, the post of commander-in-chief was specially established to command the entire Xinghua Army in Jiangzhou, and General Lyon was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Xinghua Army in Jiangzhou, responsible for directing the Xinghua Army's operations, as well as army recruitment, training, and restructuring.
Secondly, the Jiangzhou Administrative Bureau was specially set up to be responsible for civil affairs and system reform in Jiangzhou, and the post of chief executive in charge of the Administrative Bureau was held by Wei Yingcai, and at the same time, Wei Yingcai was also appointed to the post of Yangcheng City Guard;
Finally, the document also made it clear that the empire would also send an inspector general to oversee the formation of the local council and the local court in Jiangzhou, and would also supervise and assist the imperial government to maintain the empire's rule.
This document was quickly passed on to the main officials of the Xinghua Army in Yangcheng.
After reading all the provisions of the document carefully, Wei Yingcai immediately decided that he would no longer touch the military power of Yangcheng. First, this is a requirement of the emperor and the cabinet, and as a subordinate official, he must naturally strictly implement it; second, Wei Yingcai also understands a truth, if he not only presides over the power of Yangcheng, but also gets involved in military power, he will not only be suspected of monopolizing power, but also will incur the risk of becoming the target of public criticism.
It's just that although Wei Yingcai does not plan to get involved in military power, in order to facilitate his own governance, Wei Yingcai still controls the dispatch power of the Yangcheng garrison force and the Yangcheng police force, but basically does not interfere in the daily operation of the Yangcheng military department.
The garrison of Yangcheng is actually the original Wei Yingcai Department of the Xinghua Army, and the main weapon that will be equipped with it in the future is the standard firearm of the army, so that the garrison can carry out the daily task of defending Yangcheng;
The original security force was transformed into the Yangcheng police force, which mainly wore pistols, long swords, bows and crossbows and other weapons, and its daily function was to maintain internal order and law and order in Yangcheng.
These two troops are the guarantee of Wei Yingcai's governance in Jiangzhou, and they are naturally under his leadership at present.
As for the management of the people in Yangcheng, Wei Yingcai established a number of corresponding administrative sub-bureaus in Yangcheng, established personal identity files, and issued temporary identity documents, so as to comprehensively organize the identity files of the people of Yangcheng, and implement some policies and systems of the Xinghua Empire according to local conditions.
The administrative side of Yangcheng in Jiangzhou was under the management of Wei Yingcai, while Lyon was in charge of military power.
However, Leon did not move the headquarters of the Xinghua Army to Yangcheng, and he still chose Tai'an City as the command center of the Xinghua Army in Jiangzhou. This is because, on the one hand, the operation of the Xinghua Army in Tai'an City has been basically stable and perfect, with complete supply warehouses and a large amount of grain reserves; on the other hand, since Leon and Wei Yingcai are respectively the two heads of one army and one government, there is Ang who moved the command center out of Yangcheng and did not put the core military department in the same place, which is also to avoid the embarrassing situation of conflict between military orders and government orders.
Among the defeated soldiers of the Xia army in Yangcheng, many people chose to flee from Yangcheng, or even flee from Jiangzhou, but there were also some soldiers of the Xia army who finally chose to stay, hide and plan a counterattack to continue to fight against the Xinghua army.
It's just that the Xinghua army broke through Yangcheng, whether they are willing to face it or not, this has become an established fact, and it has also laid the Xinghua army to occupy an absolute upper hand in the territory of Jiangzhou, the whole pattern, in fact, there is no possibility of reversal, these Xia country's dead warriors, not really much strength can change the situation, and even, if the Xia country does not have corresponding countermeasures, Xinghua country will rule Jiangzhou for a long time.
The news of the defeat of the Xia army, with the defeat of the defeated army, gradually spread to all parts of the Xia country in a few days. And the Xia Kingdom court was even more shocked!
The loss of Yunzhou and then Jiangzhou by the Xia Kingdom was a great shock to the hearts of the Xia people.
The Xia court in Zhongzhou was also immersed in an extremely gloomy atmosphere for a long time because of the news of this defeat.
this day.
In the Xia Kingdom, in the Fengtian Hall of the Imperial Palace, hundreds of officials lined up, no one said a word, and it was quietly terrifying. The atmosphere in the entire hall was very oppressive. On the golden dragon chair, the face of the Great Xia Emperor Tang Longhui was even more ugly.
"I am a dignified Great Xia, a million army, and I have been defeated again and again......" Tang Longhui was furious, he didn't expect that the Xia army would be defeated, and he also lost Jiangzhou. Although the Xinghua army had not yet completely occupied Jiangzhou, the Xia State and the Manchu Dynasty understood that this was a matter of time.
Tang Longhui was above the main hall, losing his temper and insulting non-stop, and no one dared to speak. At this time, no one dared to touch the emperor's moldy head.
After a while, Tang Longhui finished scolding.
Many ministers and officials knelt on the ground one after another and shouted several times that the emperor would be angry.
"What do you want me to do...... The military department is still in the book, what idea do you have to deal with the Xinghua army?" Tang Longhui asked by name.
"Emperor Qi, Weichen suggested strengthening the garrison of the Tiger Prison Pass and the Nanling Pass. The military department Shangshu said.
Tiger Prison Pass and Nanling Pass are both checkpoints leading from Jiangzhou to Zhongzhou, and after the Xinghua Empire fully occupied Jiangzhou, these two checkpoints suddenly became extremely critical in the strategic territory of the Xia Kingdom.
Obviously, according to the terrain conditions of these two checkpoints, it can be judged that if the Xinghua army wants to bypass the Tiger Prison Pass and Nanling Pass, it will naturally take a lot of time.
But even more because, around these two levels, there is no other way to toss, therefore, under normal circumstances, the fastest way for the Xinghua army to attack Zhongzhou is to get through these two levels.
However, although these two checkpoints are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and although they can play a certain role in hindering the Xinghua army, once the Xinghua army really clears the two passes of the Tiger Prison Pass and the Nanling Pass, then the consequences will be unimaginable! At that time, all the dozen or so large and small county towns in Zhongzhou will be reduced to the scope of the Xinghua army's attack, and more importantly, even the capital city will be threatened.
"That's right. Do you have any way to defeat the Xinghua Army?" Tang Longhui said.
"Your Majesty, Weichen is not on the front line, he doesn't know the situation on the front line, and he doesn't dare to talk nonsense. There are only a few points that Weichen thinks needs attention. 1. Appoint overseers, collect the defeated troops, and rebuild the Xia army in Jiangzhou; 2. Supervise and forge the weapons and equipment needed for the army; 3. The household department must ensure a continuous supply of grain and grass; 4. Order the county towns in various places to repair the city defenses; 5. Mobilize more professional masters to hunt down the Xinghua officers and soldiers and destroy all the rule of the Xinghua State in Jiangzhou, and must not let them be stable. The military department Shangshu said.
"What you said makes sense, do you have any candidates?" Tang Longhui asked again.
"Please forgive the emperor, there is no suitable candidate for Weichen. The military department Shangshu said.
To be honest, although he is facing the pressure of the emperor, if he is involved in the whirlpool of recommended candidates at this time, he will bring more trouble to himself, which is a thing that is easy to offend people, and the military department is very clear about this, so even if there is really a suitable candidate in his heart to recommend to the emperor, he would still rather be accused by the emperor of being ineffective and dare not say more.
Tang Longhui had no choice, and then looked at the hundred officials again, asked again, and named a few names, including those from Jiangmen and those from noble backgrounds.
Later, these people also proposed several names, but the candidates they proposed were not as good as Tang Longhui's intentions. It's just that the military situation is like fire, and you can't wait for it. Tang Longhui did not have a good choice, so he appointed a respected veteran to rectify the Xia army in Jiangzhou and find a way to rebuild an army to counterattack Xinghua. Tang Longhui asked the six yamen to cooperate with the war on the front line.
As for Bai Qi, Tang Longhui didn't criticize him too much, he just gave a thick burial, took away Bai Qi's title, and removed the honor of the Bai family. Because the investigation of the secret spies of the Xia Dynasty showed that Bai Qi was killed in battle, he did not feel sorry for the emperor. Moreover, Bai Qi left many operational secrets of the Xinghua Army to the latecomers.
After the Xia Dynasty was dispersed, the Great Xia Emperor Tang Longhui left the palace under the protection of a group of eunuchs and guards. They walked into one of the most mysterious places in the capital of the Xia Kingdom, the Heavenly Holy Church.
It was not the first time Tang Longhui had entered the Heavenly Saint Hall, but every time he entered the Heavenly Saint Hall, he had an indescribable solemn feeling. Here, as if he was not an emperor, but an ordinary mortal, he had to bow to them.
In fact, the Heavenly Saint Hall was the retreat of the two ninth-level professionals of the Xia Kingdom. There are two ninth-level professionals in Xia Kingdom, one is a ninth-level professional, Sword Emperor Yan Jiutian, and the other is a ninth-level professional, Arrow God Ye Xiaofeng.
"Great Xia Emperor Tang Longhui, meet the two Venerables!" In the Tiansheng Hall, facing the empty hall, Tang Longhui bowed his hands, clasped his fists, and saluted.
"What's the matter?" an ethereal voice rang out in the lobby.
"Dear Arrow God, the Xia army was defeated in Jiangzhou and lost hundreds of thousands of troops. At this moment, Great Xia was in danger, and Tang Longhui begged His Holiness to help. Tang Longhui lowered the emperor's head and begged his country's top professionals to make a move.
"The two of us pledged to protect the capital, so we won't leave the capital. Ye Xiaofeng said.
"But ......" Tang Longhui was disappointed when he heard this.
Ye Xiaofeng said again: "However, since you have come to ask for help in person, I will send a letter to the master of the Divine Arrow Gate, and ask him to send six or seven level Divine Archers to snipe and kill the senior generals of the Xinghua Army." ”
When Tang Longhui heard this, he said, "Thank you Ye Supreme for your help. ”
At this moment, another voice rang out.
"I will also send a message to the Divine Sword Sect, asking them to send some excellent disciples who are willing to make meritorious contributions. ”
"Thank you Yan Supreme!"
Tang Longhui said respectfully. He also thanked Yan Jiutian. Yan Jiutian's Divine Sword Sect, his disciples are all first-class generals. The Divine Sword Sect is willing to make a move, which will undoubtedly enhance the strength of the Xia army.
Tang Longhui left the Tiansheng Hall and did not return to the palace, but continued, went to several small places, invited some senior professionals of the seventh or eighth level, promised wealth and status, and let them go to Jiangzhou to sneak attack all the personnel and materials of the Xinghua Army.
Because of Tang Longhui's personal appearance, the circle of professionals in Xia Kingdom is gradually changing.
The folk of the Xia Kingdom, likewise, are also changing.
The fall of Yunzhou and the fall of Jiangzhou are two different concepts for the common people of the Great Xia Kingdom. Yunzhou is too far away, and for ordinary people, there is not much concept. The fall of Jiangzhou is a very important problem. A distant threat has become a few steps away. Many ordinary people are afraid of the situation in Jiangzhou, which is their situation.
What was the situation in Jiangzhou? The Xinghua army invaded, the Xia army cleared the walls and fortified the wilderness, the people were displaced, and refugees were everywhere. Many people's family businesses have been wiped out overnight. To this day, hundreds of thousands of Jiangzhou refugees are still scattered across the states. Now that Jiangzhou has fallen, these Jiangzhou refugees have no chance to return to their hometowns, and they are even more miserable. This is the impression of the common people of the Xia Kingdom on the Jiangzhou War.
Now, the flames of war can spread to the states at any time, and the civilians in the states are terrified.
Not only that, but the loss of the war also had the most direct impact. That is the rise in the price of rice and salt, there are too many refugees in Jiangzhou, and the grain and grass from various states are transported to the battlefield in Jiangzhou, and there is not much grain stored in various places. The days are getting harder and harder. This is one of the sorrows of the small people.
The second sorrow of the small people, in order to repair the city defenses, the states began to recruit people and build cities. This kind of temporary conscription is undoubtedly disastrous for some families who lack labor. They almost miss out on a season of farming, and without the income from the fields, it will be more and more difficult for the family.
All kinds of difficulties have weighed heavily on the common people, and they have been overwhelmed. However, the government still wants to ask for it endlessly.
Because Tang Longhui ascended to the throne by force and killed too much, the people's hearts in some places were unstable. The defeat of the Xia army this time, some people thought that it was a sign that Tang Longhui had lost the favor of heaven, and he was brewing a rebellion again.
Wei Yingcai was in Yangcheng, implemented military management for three days, and gradually received some archives left by the Yangcheng government. He determined that the security forces had completely controlled Yangcheng, and began to loosen the ties.
First of all, Wei Yingcai's restored bazaar department store. In the name of the Executive Bureau, Wei Yingcai issued an order: Shops in Yangcheng must open for business within the specified time. Shops that cannot open their doors normally will find it difficult to obtain a business license. Shops without a business license are not allowed to open in the bazaar.
