Chapter 456: Centralization
In Jing'an City, a person in inconspicuous civilian attire became a guest of Tian Hu, the king of Jin.
Tian Biao, Wu Li, Fan Quan, Fang Xuedu, Qiao Daoqing, Bian Xiang, Shan Shiqi, etc., and their generals and dignitaries were also present. A group of 'big men' are now going to speak to this man in a humble and even humble tone.
"It's not that I don't know your difficulties, it's actually that the king of my family is angry, I'm just sitting in a small area, what should I do? You will not speak to me. Or go to the king of my house. "So many 'big guys' lowered their bodies to talk to him, but this person just didn't get in.
When the words fell, he gave up his hand and retired. That Bian Xiang and Shan Shiqi can pinch ten or eight old Zhou to death with one hand, but at this moment, they dare not hinder people from leaving.
"Lu Qian, this guy is really too deceitful. Lu Junyi himself was reckless and was ambushed by the official army, what did he do to our army? The three kings, Tian Biao, were the first to stand up and scold.
Just now, that dog thing turned out to be that Lu Qian almost damaged Lu Junyi, a general, and millions of dollars were not enough, so he had to compensate. Tian Biao really wanted to break his neck and tear off his head as a night pot. Lu Qian is simply too deceitful!
But no matter how bad Tian Biao's brain was, he knew that his eldest brother had the final say in Jing'an City, so he only looked at Tian Hu with a pair of eyes.
Fan Quan sighed twice, eased the atmosphere, and said: "Don't be angry with the three kings, although Lu Qian is not a son of man, but our army has suffered heavy losses now, and we will have to rely on one or two in the future, and we must not offend." ”
Tian Hujun and his cadres are very clear about their fate in the future, at least in the short term, they will depend on the Liangshan Army for a living, and Hejian Mansion is an excellent place to go. When the Liangshan army swept Hebei, that was when they came out again to stir up the wind and rain.
"King Qiyu, Lu Junyi is the best player in the Liangshan Army, this time the jade unicorn was shot over by the bow and crossbow of the official army, and almost lost his life, Lu Qian's anger is also for a reason." Fan Quan stroked his beard and said, in his heart, he was once again terrified of the danger of the battle array, that is, the top players like the Jade Qilin could not protect themselves, which was really a great danger. This time, although the life of this Hebei Sanjue can be saved, he still doesn't know how long he will have to raise it.
"People have to bow their heads under the eaves. The king breathed a sigh of relief, more than hundreds of thousands of him, Hugh will lose big because of the small. ”
Qiao Daoqing also advised Tian Hu to be patient, "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan." It is the time for our army to recuperate, and we must not offend the king of Qi. ”
Why doesn't Tian Hu know this? It's just that he really holds his breath in his heart, Lu Qian is bullying people. And hundreds of thousands of guan is not a small amount, in the future, how much grain and sword soldiers can these hundreds of thousands of guan money buy from the Liangshan army?
"Do you think this king wants to give more?"
"Mo Ruo is 300,000 more. There is nothing in front of you, and you can give it a million. Fang Xuedu said.
"Little, very little. What a character the King of Qi is, he only gives 300,000 yuan, and he is not thought to be underestimated by others. Wu Li subconsciously retorted. Who is the king of Renlu, is it worth 300,000 yuan to open a respectful mouth? Don't condemn people.
"What Uncle Guo said is very true. How can the dignified King of Qi be able to send away 300,000 guan? But the money of our army is not blown by the wind, and it will rest and recuperate in the future, and it will be more of a place to use money. It must not be given to Lu Qian in vain. In a certain opinion, it is better to give money than to give it away. Bian Xiang opened his mouth and said: "Uncle Jiuwen has a daughter under his knees, and she is born like a flower and jade, why don't you make a county lord and serve Lu Qian." In this way, one is to save money, and the other is to make me and the two families become close. "That Fang La's alliance with Lu Qian is not just a girl. He did it all, why couldn't Tian Hujun do it?
As soon as Bian Xiang said this, Tian Hu's eyes immediately lit up, and Wu Li's heart was full of like. Seeing that Tian Hujun's luck was gone, he didn't think about jumping ship, but unfortunately it was really difficult to break the relationship. Thinking about it at night, he hated the person who forcibly married his sister that day, why wasn't it Lu Qian. Being able to send my daughter there now will be a way out in the future. But on his face, he said anxiously: "It's nonsense." The right prime minister doesn't know my little girl's cardamom. ”
Fang Xuedu laughed: "Uncle Guo should not shirk, this is loyal to the country." I secretly laughed in my heart that this Wu pear itself is lustful, how can the concubine in the room not have that cardamom person?
Fan Quan was unhappy in his heart, but when he saw the light in Tian Hu's eyes, he knew that this matter was decided.
Tian Hu said here, but he didn't know that Lao Zhou had returned to the place where he lived, and he also said to the people around him: "A nest of bandits is unkind!" If you break the siege, you will be troubled! The lost dog would rather not know who the owner is. ”
But a big war has calmed down. Lu Qian was going to compete with the Song army pressed from the north, but Lu Junyi was seriously injured, which made him lose his mood. Of course, more importantly, he received information that a Song army was moving south from the west bank of the Yellow River, preparing to cross the river in Enzhou and cut off Lu Qian's back route south.
Although this move is known at a glance to be a false trick of the master, it is not uncommon to turn the false into the real when it is true and false.
If so, Lu Qian led his troops back south.
It must be a pity to plant the master's way. failed to rob and kill Lu Qian, and seized this rare opportunity, he must be annoyed in his heart. However, the elite of the Western Army led by Yang Weizhong had lost their courage, and it was not a wise man to force them to fight a decisive battle.
And this great confrontation, which shook the entire north, was completely calmed down as the Liangshan army retreated. Raoyang's Hebei forbidden army returned to Baozhou and Xiongzhou one after another, and the Liangshan army of Cangzhou suddenly moved. In this way, Raoyang, the city that blocked Tianhu's path at the beginning, became vulnerable. Next, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Tian Hujun broke out of the cage and must go straight to Hejian Mansion.
In this way, Lu Qian no longer cares.
The army turned back to Jeju, and September had passed. It seems to be a severe winter weather just into October, Lu Qian turned back to Qingzhou Road, the clouds were dense, the wind gradually rose, and before he arrived in Boxing, he rolled up the next day of heavy snow.
When he arrived in Yidu City, the secretary and supervisor brought a stack of secret folds, but it was Lu Qian who remembered a trick used by the Manchu Qing Dynasty - secret folding.
This system began in the later years of Kangxi and was completed in the Yongzheng Dynasty. That is, the emperor allowed some officials, such as feudal officials or cronies, to play secretly. When writing it, you must do it yourself, not by pretending to others, and everything you hear can be reported. After writing, he wrote the text on folded white paper, plus a special leather case, the key of the leather box was prepared in two copies, one was given to the official of the music and the other was kept by the emperor, and no one could open it. The officials sent their cronies and family members to the capital, and they did not disturb the post station and went straight to the imperial front. and the emperor himself replied.
It is said in the history books that the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department during the fourth period of Yonglao was the pinnacle of China's centralized power, and this secret twist made the decree fully reflect the emperor's will, but it did not make the absolute monarchy and centralized power reach the limit.
Lu Qian played such a hand, although he usually only put one person in a state capital. In this way, there are many boxes. So much so that he seemed to be in a hurry to eat.
Usually on the first night he came back from going out, there was nothing to do, everyone ate together, which was also what Lu Qian liked, because it made him enjoy the warmth of home.
But he's clearly been in a hurry lately.
He opened the fold and looked at the official documents again, looking at them one by one. There wasn't much time, so he shouted, "Call Xue Yonglai." "This is his military secretary.
In less than half an hour, Xue Yong arrived. Lu Qian asked: "You are dealing with the affairs of the military department, how is the situation of the local garrison now?" ”
Xue Yong's expression was solemn, and he said: "The ministers have been summed up, according to the king's orders, Shangzhou Dafu set up ten battalions to garrison, Xiazhou set up eight battalions to garrison, Shandong Province has two prefectures and eight prefectures, the state is divided into four up and four down, ninety-two battalions, each battalion recruits 500 soldiers for training, and the officers above the team are all filled by meritorious veterans who are familiar with military conditions. Now that they are all in place, they want to come and train in this winter's season, and they will definitely become an army next year. ”
If it is divided according to the Song Dynasty, Jingdong and Lianglu will naturally not only be two provinces and eight states, but now Xingren Mansion and Yingtianfu are not included in Lu Qian, and the Huaiyang Army is classified into Huainan Province, the Guangji Army and Dongchang are united, and Zizhou and Weizhou are under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou Prefecture, so there are only two prefectures and eight states left.
In addition to Shandong Province, the garrison army of Huainan Province is also in full recruitment, but compared to the Shandong Army, the Huainan Army is obviously still a little brother, and it is still on the way to catch up.
"There is still a shortage in the state capitals of the Huainan Army, and the number of troops in the establishment today is less than 20,000......"
"The number of soldiers and horses under the governor of the other five armies has also been fixed, 20,000 men in each unit, six regiments of soldiers, a total of 15,000 men, and the rest are reserve troops." This is just an adjustment plan, just like Lu Qian's army has also expanded to 20,000 people on paper, called the Praetorian Guard!
The land of Shandong has been completely incorporated into Lu Qian's palm for more than a year. At the beginning, he abolished many harsh taxes and reduced money and food, which he said he would do. The people of the land of Shandong have enjoyed this kind of good government, and in the course of a year they have truly experienced the benefits of it.
The benefits in hand are the most impressive. No one will watch the money and food fly out of their hands.
Although the appeal of the Liangshan Army among the common people of Shandong is not as good as that of the PLA during the Liberation War in later generations, it is no longer the same as a year ago. This is the best proof of this young and strong number of conscripts.
Lu Qian played secretly, and there were two concerns, one was the township officials, and the other was the increase in troops.
The treatment of the Liangshan army is not thin, the military family has various preferential treatment, the bereaved family members have a generous pension, and they can also be tax-free and free of grain. These are all ready-made examples.
In this year, there were no large casualties in the Liangshan army, and small casualties continued, although there were many martyrs in the war around Liangshanbo, but there were also Denglai and Yanxu people, and the treatment of their bereaved families was not as in the propaganda, and they had more conscience than the Song family. In this way, the people can naturally serve the death, and the young and strong have enthusiastically joined the army.
This matter is mostly the responsibility of the Ministry of War, and Xue Yong's work has been done very well. "This time there are many meritorious brothers, and they have worked hard to eat, so that the foolish brothers are really grateful."
Xue Yong's spirit shook suddenly, and the fatigue and hardship of these days dissipated in an instant. immediately responded: "The younger brother can have the support of the king today, and it is the duty of the younger brother to serve the king." I am afraid that I will not be able to catch it, so that I will delay the big event, and I will not be able to redeem it. It is said that since Xu Guanzhong came, Xue Yong has had a sense of crisis in his heart. The work is done hard and attentively.
"Brother Xian's words are serious. In the past, although there were many heroes in Liangshan, there were not many people who were as good as you and were loyal and pure. Lin Jiaotou is one of them, Teacher Xu is the second, and Xian Di is the third. Lu Qian was telling the truth, at that time, some systems were created in a hurry, and those who were officials in the country did not want to be aggressive, but to be stable. In this regard, Yang Zhi is inferior to Xue Yong.
Xue Yong's tears of joy were about to overflow, and he even made himself modest.
Lu Qian laughed loudly. He didn't mean to praise him, he was also close to people, why did Han Bolong seem a little obscure now?
It's not that Xiong Shanjun's qualifications are limited, and he really can't be ignited.
And Xue Yong was born in a military household, and he was born with knowledge of military affairs. He has been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, selling guns and sticks to live his life, looking at people's eyes, knowing what is good or bad, and having many means to behave in the world, and more importantly, being careful. "Lin Xu is leading the troops, and the position of the military department is none other than the virtuous brother. And the matter of Guanxian Brother as an official, no matter how big or small, consult with him, and then implement it, which can make up for the omissions and benefit from a wide range of benefits, which can be described as a great good. ”()
