Previous Chapter: Chapter 537 The Other Side of Liaodong

This day back to Fengle Station, a year ago the post general squatted in Dongzhou for two days, returned to Fengle Station to wear meritorious service, although demoted a level, but is still the manager of Fengle Station, but now he doesn't care, ten days ago, he was identified as a traitor by the Internal Security Department, has been beheaded, and the head is hung on a bare willow tree in front of the post house. There are almost all the books I want to read.,It's a lot more stable than the general station.,It's faster than the update.,There's no ads in the whole text.。

This winter, because there are corpses everywhere, the crows' lives are very passable, they have no special interest in this frozen human head, but they are still sensitive to people approaching their territory, a dark green big crow stopped on the branch, guarding the head of the general, crooked neck, and glared at Li Mao viciously.

Li Mao got up from his heart, threw the horsewhip over, the crow flew up, flew back around the tree and back, still glaring at Li Mao viciously, seeing that Li Mao ignored it, he croaked, tilted his head and pecked out the general's eyeballs, and put it in his mouth to declare to Li Mao that the human head actually belonged to it.

The clerk on the side couldn't bear it anymore and shot an arrow at him, the archery of the general manager was sparse and ordinary, and the crow croaked proudly, but it was unscathed.

Li Mao shot an arrow at it, and the arrogant crow died tragically to the ground.

Li Mao later issued an order: stop the purge operation, release all those who were not killed, and Zhang Bang announced that the rebellion in Liaodong had been purged, and no one should be investigated for any reason in the future.

The clerk looked at the crow that died on the ground, and felt a good feeling in his heart: people are not as good as a crow, how many lives have been saved by this flat-haired beast with its death, and it should be buried thickly.

After Li Mao returned to Liaodong City, it took a month to find out the family background of Liaodong, everything was shocking, in his impression of Liaodong, which was thriving, was actually standing on the verge of economic collapse at this moment, and took a step forward, without Ma and Dong getting up and shouting, the roar of the people could swallow him.

Li Mao broke out in a cold sweat, and he urgently convened a meeting of various ministries and announced several important decisions: end the offensive operations in the southeast, northeast, and northwest, shrink the Youzhou front, and advertise the soldiers to return to the camp and reclaim the frontier.

In addition, any miscellaneous taxes and miscellaneous fees will be exempted, and any government or official who dares to collect taxes outside the law will be immediately beheaded once it is verified, and there is no need to go through the normal procedures.

The practice of substituting money and grain for conscription saves people's manpower, and the government comes forward to hire displaced people to serve as conscription.

Legislation is enacted to protect the private property of merchants, and at the same time to increase commercial taxes, strengthen the collection of commercial taxes, and increase the recovery of those who conceal arrears.

The tributes owed by Silla and Balhae were inventoried and ordered to be paid within a time limit.

The mature military reclamation farm will be subleased and resold at a low price to benefit the people.

We should abolish redundant troops and redundant personnel, dismantle military and political organs in phases and in batches, divert military and political personnel, and expand the scale of government-run industry and commerce.

Appropriately increase the number of troops stationed in Youzhou, and according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers who go out to fight in each town will be supplied with grain for the exit by the imperial court, which can temporarily reduce the burden on Liaodong.

Li Mao sent Chang Mucang and Qin Mo back to Youzhou, trying to get a piece of the post-war feast.

He himself, with the assistance of Zheng Xiaozhang and Xie Biao, carried out a major combing of the huge and messy military and political system, abolished those repetitive and useless institutions, and integrated the four systems with the corresponding shogunates, one set of people and two brands. Scattered officials and professional officials are combined, and official positions correspond to each other, and try to reduce the number of people who eat idle meals.

After the reorganization, the military system of Liaodong overlapped with the Jiedu Embassy to a high degree, and there were two major systems of staff command and military-political and logistical affairs, that is, Jiedu transformed the civilian staff of the Shogunate into a military and political system, and the military attache system into a staff command system.

Under the military and political system, there is a judicial office, which is headed by two judges, and has under the jurisdiction of the departments of selection, merit, documents, and government decrees, and the personnel is streamlined. In addition, there is a training hall, a military material institute, a military industry bureau formed by the merger of the Bureau of Mineral Metallurgy, the first and second ordnance institutes and the general battalion, and the military protection institute and the military supervision institute are a set of personnel and other institutions, each of which is in charge.

The staff command system is centered on the staff office, with vanguard general rapid response, entrapment general assault, capture general reconnaissance, special operation, and construction general engineers, and directly govern the 5th and 11th divisions and naval divisions.

The officials of the government affairs system all have the titles of observation and degree branch, with the degree branch bureau and the security bureau as the core, and the tax bureau, the pavilion post bureau, and the civil affairs department are reorganized from the merger of the medical bureau, the relief department, and the education bureau, and the construction bureau and the economic bureau are reorganized from the industrial and commercial promotion bureau and the agriculture, forestry, water and animal husbandry bureau.

It also has transactional organizations, salt and iron institutes, internal and external warehouses, directly subordinate economic organizations farms, commercial stores, etc.

The supervision system has been carried out with the rank of observation government, the responsibilities of the left and right departments have been adjusted, the number of personnel has been increased, and the scope of power has been expanded.

In the spy system, the Internal Security Department was listed under the Security Bureau, and the pro-army right wing was named under the General Staff Department, and was renamed the Second Intelligence Section, which was lowered and expanded.

The personnel who have been laid off will be uniformly arranged to public farms and commercial inns, and everyone will be given a way.

In view of the poor performance of the "Heiyu Hou" in the suppression of the rebellion, Li Mao ordered the dismissal, and the ringleaders who were extremely angry with the people were suspended from their posts for examination. Zheng Xiaozhang was demoted to the envoy of the Liaodong City Bureau, and the two generals under his command, Zhang Shiluo and Jin Shuirong, were arrested and examined.

Zhang Shiluo killed too many people and knew that he would not end well, so he hit the wall and died on the day he was arrested.

Jin Shuirong had expected that there would be this day, the reason why he agreed to cooperate with Zheng Xiaozhang was to use Zheng Xiaozhang's knife to kill a few more Liaodong generals for his Silla master, and his goal was achieved, and the Liaodong military and political officials who were persecuted to death by his hands exceeded more than 70 people above the commander of the county order and battalion.

The highest-ranking general to be ousted by him is Chen Guangdao, the current deputy commander of the 1st Division.

The post of commander of the first division has always been concurrently held by the clerk, and there are two deputy commanders below, Zhao Guangliang as the first deputy commander, and Chen Guangdao as the second deputy commander and director of the city defense and garrison bureau.

Chen Guangdao assisted Li Mao in the ambush battle at the Shannan command post and made great contributions, and since then his position has become increasingly stable, and he is called the deputy commander, but in fact he can sit on an equal footing with the commanders.

Because of this, he has always been hated by Jin Shuirong, and this time he wants to use Li Mao's knife to behead him under the horse to avenge the death of the three thousand black crested heads.

He was almost successful, Chen Guangdao was found to have colluded with Ma Hedong, was tied up and thrown into prison, and was sentenced to beheading when his identity was verified.

At the critical moment, Chen Guangdao's youngest daughter Chen Ruiniang bribed Qin Mo with her body, and when she saw Li Mao, she told her grievances, and Li Mao immediately ordered the arrest of Jin Shuirong and the release of Chen Guangdao.

Li Mao was determined to meet this Jin Shuirong, who fled from Yalushui to Dongzhou that year, and was appointed by Li Mao as a personal guard.

Li Mao cultivated him with great kindness, and he had a huge psychological advantage.

As a betrayer of the master, and as a prisoner, Jin Shuirong has a straight waist and refuses to kneel to Li Mao.

Li Mao didn't embarrass him, he admired this kind of backbone person very much, and sure enough, the gold water was soft like a leper dog, so he didn't go to see it. Li Mao scolded: "In the past, you were ordered to lurk beside me, report to Jin Xiuzong, and lead him to ambush me at the Shannan command post, I don't blame you. It's nothing, Jin Xiuzong later surrendered to me and confessed your name, but you have always refused to confess to me, I am very strange, your master has fallen, who are you busy for. ”

Jin Shuirong said: "I entered the black crested and served the lord of the country, Jin Xiuzong turned his back on the lord and defected to you, and I was despised, so I can't be regarded as my master." ”

Li Mao said: "You are serving Jin Chongxi." ”

Jin Shuirong said: "Since I entered the black crested head, I have sworn to be loyal to the lord of Silla to the death, and I will not change my original intention until I die. ”

Li Mao said: "You are a loyal minister, but unfortunately you are also a confused person who does not know the general situation. ”

He asked Li Mao: "What is to conform to the general trend, is the grass on the wall that blows on both sides conform to the general trend, if you have no faith, how different from the grass and grass I know you like to surrender and rebel, but unfortunately I can't do it." ”

Li Mao sighed and said to the left and right: "Reward him with a whole corpse." ”

Qin Mo said: "It's better to ask him if he has any comrades, I have the means to deal with him." ”

Li Mao smiled: "It's rare that he is a loyal and righteous person, so you don't have to humiliate him." ”

Jin Shuirong was moved to tears and was immediately buried alive.

The executor replied to Li Mao, and Li Mao said to Qin Mo with a wry smile: "The backbone was killed one by one like this, but the backbone survived one by one, and in the long run, the backbone is still worth a few dollars, isn't the world full of flattery." ”

Qin Mo said: "The time is poor, and killing it once every few years is indeed not optimistic. In troubled times, life is as cheap as a dog, the bones are too hard to make dirt, and the rest is naturally some soft bones, only soft bones can survive. Pity me for the Tang Dynasty since the Anshi Rebellion, there have been many disasters and difficulties, and every other three or five times is a big chaos, the scholars are dead, and they will be all old fritters in the future. This style is naturally not as good as the generation. ”

Li Mao said: "This is like a mountain forest, the climate is too bad, the tall and straight trees are dead, and the rest is the miscellaneous trees and thorns lying on the ground, although the good trees are good, but if they are not suitable for the changing climate, what kind of good trees are they in, I think they are not as useful as miscellaneous trees." ”

Qin Mo said: "Good is good, bad is bad, beauty is beauty, ugly girl is ugly, even the beauty in the world is dead, I don't want ugly girl." The world is going down, a crab is not as good as a crab, you have to admit it, don't make those crooked reasons out to fool people, people are becoming more and more shrewd, it's not easy to fool, this time it's Ma Hedong, who will be next time"

Li Mao sighed: "I'm so tired, after the beginning of spring, I want to find a clean place, rest for a while, read, clear my heart, I can't go on like this anymore." ”

Qin Mo said: "This is the best, you are a monk, I think you can go to the temple for a few days, but before you retreat and cultivate, you still have to solve the matter of Youzhou, and make it into today's situation, no one wants to see it, but since it has happened, hiding is not a way." ”

Li Mao said: "You and Mucang have full authority to deal with the affairs of Youzhou, discuss more in case of trouble, and you can also ask Xiaozhang and Xie Biao for their opinions, but you really can't decide to report to me again." I have to learn to decentralize power, after all, a person's ability and energy are limited, and it is easy to go to extremes. ”
