Chapter 45 The Great Change of Civil Officials in the Three Counties Sharpen the knife Huo Huo to Shule
"Ordered Tian Feng to be the county guard of the Exquisite County, responsible for the affairs of the Exquisite County, the Exquisite County is the last three cities, the three cities of the Exquisite Three Cities and the two cities of Humi, a total of eight cities! There's no need to build a city! After saying so much, Liu Bei took a sip of tea and said, "Yuan Jian." ”
"My lord, the last will be." Liao Hua replied.
"After the reorganization of the pro-guard army is completed, you will be ordered to lead two thousand cavalry to escort the officials of the four countries of Khotan, Humi, Jingjue and the end of the country to Shanshan, and hand them over to Tian Feng for assessment.
"No." Liao Hua replied.
"At the same time, the officials who stayed in Shanshan County were drafted by Tian Feng, and they could be reported to me for backup, and there was no need to bring them back to Khotan. Finally, after returning to Shanshan County, he joined Wen Chou, and led the personal guard army to escort Tian Feng and other officials, as well as my wife Cai Yan, to Khotan! ”
"No, my subordinates will protect the safety of the master! My lord, the last general has doubts, after I leave, who will lead the training in the Khotanese Guards? "Liao Hua respectfully Dadao!
"Don't worry, after you leave, the pro-guard army will personally lead the training. When you and Wen Chou come back, I will hand it over to you and others. Liu Bei said with a smile.
"No"
"Wei Chiming, you should go to Shanshan with Liao Hua!"
"Subordinates receive orders."
"Ordered Zheng Xu to be the commander of the Shanshan army, Qin Ming, Lin Tao, Li Li, and Batur were the four deputies, guarding Shanshan County, and in the event of an enemy attack, they can only defend the city, not go out of the city to defend the enemy, if they go out of the city to resist the enemy, although they win the battle, they will also be disobedient, and they will be punished! At the same time, inform Hua Xiong, let Hua Xiong always contact Shanshan County, if with the enemy, watch and help! ”
Each appointment was written by Jia Xu into a letter of appointment, which would be sent out by the scouts or taken to Shanshan County by Liao Hua.
In this way, all the civil officials, including the original civil officials and the civil officials of the four countries and all the original military generals, were arranged, and only the four generals under Wei Chi Zhan were left in the entire hall: Reheman, Sabier, Aini and Ai Zezi, all four of whom were natives of the Western Regions, and all of them had the strength of third-rate military generals. Liu Bei had a headache for a while and didn't know how to arrange it.
Seeing Liu Bei's distress, Jia Xu said: "My lord, if Shanshan County transfers General Wenchou, the garrison force is weak, why don't you send a few generals over to help defend together?" ”
"Huh? Yes, Zheng Xu, Qin Ming, Lin Tao, Li Li and Batur are all strong third-rate generals, although they have improved under the training of a group of super-first-class generals and first-class generals in the past six months, but they do not have the courage of ten thousand people, Jia Xu's proposal kills three birds with one stone, one is to solve the problem of the placement of four generals, the second is to enhance the garrison of Shanshan County, and the third is that there are four Han generals who can't make big waves under pressure! The only question is that Wei Chiming has been appointed as the county guard of Shanshan County, will there be any collusion at that time? "It's because Liu Bei is still hesitant!
"What the military advisor said is extremely true, but which generals are being reassigned?" After thinking about it so much, Liu Bei was ready to throw the hydrangea to Jia Xu.
Hearing Liu Bei's words, Jia Xu understood, Liu Bei had doubts and worries, and after thinking for a while, he suggested again: "My lord, the four generals of Reheman, Sabir, Aini and Aizezi are enough. ”
Hearing Jia Xu say this, Liu Bei knew that Jia Xu was confident, and some words were just difficult to say in person, so he ordered: "Reheman, Sabir, Aini and Aizezi, since you have surrendered to me, are you willing to use it for me?" ”
"My lord, we are willing to smear the liver and brain of my lord." The four of them are not stupid, and if they don't surrender at this time, it is a word of death, so they all kneel down and surrender!
"Since this is the case, I will order the four of you to be Zheng Xu, Qin Ming, Lin Tao, and Li Li, four deputy generals, to assist the four of them to defend Shanshan County together!"
The four of them promised.
"If there is no problem, go down and prepare!"
Everyone withdrew, but Jia Xu stayed, "My lord, what you are worried about is that Wei Wei Chiming has colluded with Reheman, Sabier, Aini and Ai Zezi, and then he thinks that this matter is easy. First of all, the lord can go to the four of them and send a letter to Zheng Xu, and ask them to assign at most four people to Rahman, Sabier, Aini and Aizezi fifty personal guards; Secondly, Shanshan County has been under the rule of the lord for a long time, and even if Reheman, Sabir, Aini and Aizezi want to raise troops to rebel, they will not be able to blow a big storm. Moreover, this move is to test Wei Chiming, if Wei Chiming has a close relationship with these four generals, then the lord can remove these five people or deter them, if they are safe, then these five people can be reused! ”
"I see, I have Wen and Han Xin, who is like Gaozu." Liu Bei bowed down.
"The lord praises it!" Although he said so, his heart was really sweet, as a strategist, what could be happier than being affirmed by the lord?
………………………………………………………
At this time, it was already mid-September, and the monthly report sent from the three counties of Liaodong, Huiji, and Yizhou was forwarded by Tian Feng and sent to Liu Bei yesterday along with the monthly report of Shanshan County.
Basically, the affairs of the county are normal, but Jian Yong of Yizhou complained to Liu Bei that there are too few civil officials in his hands and cannot be governed, and all government affairs cannot be dealt with quickly due to the fact that there are too few civil officials! Liu Bei was also quite helpless, but if he waited until Tian Feng had completed the assessment of all the demoted officials, there would be more civil servants than before, after all, although the countries in the Western Regions were all small countries, although the sparrows were small, they were quite redundant! In addition, the three county towns of Yizhou have been completed, and some of the commercial and private houses and other buildings inside have been commissioned to the residents of each county to build themselves, and the county guard government will pay them uniformly! Today, there are four counties in Yizhou, with 50,000 residents in Yizhong County, 30,000 residents in Chiayi County on the southwest coast of Yizhong County, 40,000 residents in Yunmeng County on the west coast of Yizhong County, and 30,000 residents in Xianju County in the west of Yizhong County. Jian Yong also began to build the fourth county, Yinan County, the southernmost county of Yizhou, because 10,000 acres of salt fields were reclaimed in Yinan County, the southernmost part of Yizhou, and 20,000 acres were reclaimed in August, which is because Yinan County currently has more than 20,000 salt workers and more than 1,000 sailors! Therefore, Jian Yong and Xi Zhong discussed that the water master would assist the salt workers to build the fourth county. Jian Yong's letter explained that Xianbei lacked salt, and the 20,000 acres of salt fields reclaimed could greatly alleviate Yizhou's finances in September.
Huiji County and Liaodong County are quite smooth, except for Zhou Cang and Yan Yan occasionally leading troops to exterminate some generals, it is to train soldiers, so that the combat power of the county soldiers can compete with the Yulin Army! At the same time, there is also good news, Zhong Xuan found a farming expert named Wang Liang in Huiji County, this person planted rice, and others only had three stones per mu, but this person had five stones per mu. Zhong Xuan is going to observe for a year, and if it is still like this, he is ready to send it to Yizhou to impart his experience! Xun You also received the allegiance of several officials in Liaodong, and if he left Liaodong in the later period, he could also bring these officials back.
As for the monthly report of Shanshan County transmitted by Tian Feng, Liu Bei was most excited, mainly because Ma Jun invented the wind-powered waterwheel and improved the military crossbow; The wind turbine was still proposed by Liu Bei, and finally after three months of experimentation, the construction of the first wind turbine was completed in Shanshan County in August, which greatly improved the irrigation of the southern terraces. At the same time, due to the low water level of the desert oasis, with the wind-powered waterwheel, the irrigation of the fields around the desert oasis also plays a big role, and if a large number of resettlement can increase the farmland area of Shanshan County by three percent. As for the restructuring of the military crossbow, at Liu Bei's suggestion, Ma Jun studied the crossbow arrows into bursts, which can fire five arrows in a row! Liu Bei was still very happy about these two inventions, so he immediately wrote to Tian Feng and asked him to bring Ma Jun to Khotan this time!
Then, Liu Bei began to count the harvest of the four countries in a row, not to mention the harvest of land and army, mainly the harvest of materials and money. Due to the destruction of the four kingdoms, the monarch of the country of Humi took the initiative to surrender, so Liu Bei let him keep his property, and the other three countries were all destroyed or surrendered by Liu Bei, so all the assets should be confiscated, and a small amount of assets were left for the Wei Chi family, but it was also tight for daily expenses, and it was impossible to spend lavishly! With these funds, Liu Bei suddenly became abundant, and these funds were enough to build the four counties that had been obtained in the Western Regions. At the same time, the extra money is enough to feed the army.
For this reason, Liu Bei couldn't help but think about whether he could completely destroy the countries and take the wealth for himself in the future!
