Chapter Eighty-Nine: My Territory, My Decision

Yang Le's words made Zhao Kang furious: "What do you mean that there is no hunger to worry about, there are many people who can't eat enough under my rule, and there are bandits everywhere in northern Shaanxi, and the Turks on the Mongolian side are ready to move." So there is no money, no food, and no soldiers. ”

Zhao Kang is very disgusted by this kind of behavior of wanting to take the fruits of other people's labor as his own.

Yang Le continued: "Could it be that Lord Fu gave an order to Lord Zhao as the governor of the three sides, and Lord Zhao would also say that there is no money, no food and no soldiers? ”

Zhao Kang laughed angrily: "Don't say that Master Fu gave an order, even if it is ordered by the emperor, if there is no it, it is not, is it possible that I can still conjure it up for you out of thin air?" The last time I went on a northern expedition to the Ordos Department of Mongolia, I was mixed up with the false title of General Fengguo. This time, he swept away Chahar for the court, traveled thousands of miles in the ice and snow, built Baotou and naturalized two towns, and solved the great enemy that had not been solved for hundreds of years for the court, but there was no fart reward. That's why you bother you to tell Master Fu that all my soldiers died in the Mongolian steppe, and I don't have enough food to eat, let alone money. ”

Yang Le frowned and said, "Lord Zhao, shouldn't it be the responsibility of a courtier to do your best for the court and die?" If you support the army and respect yourself like this, and you want to blackmail the court, are you not afraid of being dismissed and investigated, and your family and clan exterminated? ”

Zhao Kang said: "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, I'm so scared!" However, as a courtier, I very much believe that His Majesty is definitely the King of Sainthood and will not do such a mediocre thing. Of course, if this kind of thing really happens, it means that there must be a traitor who has brought disaster to the country and the people around His Majesty, and I am afraid that I will inevitably lead the troops to go under the city of Beijing in person. Of course, before I go, I have to calm the territory of Shaanxi, what if Wang Qiaonian, the governor of Shaanxi, and your Fu Zonglong, Lord Fu, are also traitors? Do you think that with the 20,000 disheveled horses under Fu Zonglong, and the third-rate generals such as He Renlong, Niu Chenghu, and Zheng Jiadong, they can stop me for a few days? Not to mention the people of Xi'an Mansion, Fengxiang Mansion, and Hanzhong Mansion, they are afraid that they are looking forward to the stars and the moon and looking forward to me leading my troops south, right? ”

Yang Le was shocked: "Lord Zhao, you dare to do this!" ”

Zhao Kang said: "You can go back and ask Master Fu to see, do I dare or not." ”

Zhao Kang saw Yang Le glaring at him angrily, and thought: It seems that this Fu Zonglong is also a character, so it's not good to don't contribute at all. So he said: "Otherwise, I will send troops, food, money or something, and I will never have it under the reward of the court." But no matter what Master Fu says, he is also my top boss. He was ready to send troops to suppress the bandits, so he sponsored him 1,000 taels of silver and 100 taels of grain in my personal name, which was already my most powerful support for Master Fu. Don't be too little for him, it's half of my property. The people under my rule all know that I, Zhao Kang, have a clean breeze on my sleeves, serve the country and the people, worry about the worries of the world first, and enjoy the joys of the world after the world, never scrape the ground, and I am so poor that I can't even afford to marry my wife, and I only eat meat for half a year. ”

Yang Le thought to himself: I don't know how often you eat meat, but it's too much to be so poor that you can't even afford to marry your wife, didn't you just marry four a few days ago? Although he was angry in his heart, he did not dare to say it in his mouth.

I only heard Zhao Kang instruct Zhao Fugui: "You go and get 1,000 taels of silver for Mr. Yang, take the best color, and prepare 100 quintals of the best rice and white flour, the kind that we want to eat at home, and we must not use the coarse grain we send to the refugees to make up for it." ”

Zhao Kang's words were so angry that Yang Le's face turned white when he sat on the side, but he didn't dare to get angry, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart and said, "Lord Zhao, are you calling Huazi?" ”

Zhao Kang slapped the table and shouted: "Have you ever seen someone who sent Hanako to send 1,000 taels of snowflake silver?" Have you ever seen a one-time dispatch of 100 quintals of grain to Hanako? In order to support Master Fu's suppression of bandits, I donated most of my family property, and you actually said that this is a dispatch called Hanako? Could it be that your family has a lot of money in his pocket? If you are really so rich, what are you doing in Yulin to find me? You go back and tell Master Fu that this is already the greatest ability I can support him. ”

Yang Le seemed to want to say something, but Zhao Kang had already called two guards: "You take this Mr. Yang down first, and arrange for Mr. Yang to live well in Yulin today, and then go to the newly opened Yihong Courtyard to find two top cards for Mr. Yang, don't be lazy." All expenses are counted as the office expenses of the governor's yamen, and you can ask Zhao Fugui for reimbursement when the time comes. ”

After arranging everything, Zhao Kang went directly back to the backyard. I was worried about the internal affairs of my own territory. On the surface, the entire northern Shaanxi has been made prosperous and prosperous by itself, but in fact, there is no talent engaged in internal affairs under his command, the prefects of Yan'an and Qingyang are vacant, and the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of the two prefectures, as well as the Mongolian Ordos Department, Chahar Department, Yulinwei, Dongshengwei, Baotouwei, and Guihuawei are all directly under the jurisdiction of the governor.

Zhao Kang decided to divide his territory into three prefectures: Yulin, Qingyang, and Yan'an.

Yan Zongsheng, the former governor of Jiazhou, was promoted to the prefect of Yulin, and governed the four counties of Dingbian, Jingbian, Hengshan, and Yanchi of the former Yulinwei, as well as the four counties of Shenmu, Fugu, Wubao, and Mizhi, and at the same time reduced Jiazhou to Jiaxian County, which was also under the jurisdiction of Yulin Prefecture.

Suide Prefecture was demoted to Suide County, and at the same time, Zhang Ruoliang, the former governor of Suide Prefecture, was appointed as the prefect of Yan'an, and Huang Yingxiang, the former governor of Suide Prefecture, was appointed as the prefect of Qingyang.

At the same time, You Wanxiong, the commander of Fugu County, was transferred to the governor's yamen and appointed as the "governor's yamen to participate in politics", with no grade, but he managed the internal affairs of each prefecture and the assessment, transfer, and promotion of officials on behalf of Zhao Kang. The power is comparable to that of a political envoy.

A series of things took nearly three months to complete, although Zhao Kang was so busy that he almost didn't even have time to talk to Chunmei, Dongmei, and Makata, but everything was settled, and Zhao Kang was relieved.

It may be that the court also feels a little sorry for Zhao Kang, and the court also understands the political chaos and serious official vacancies in northern Shaanxi, so there is no embarrassment in the slightest this time, Zhao Kang's change of Yulin Wei to Yulin Mansion, as well as the official documents of the recommended prefects of various prefectures and county magistrates were quickly approved and agreed by the court. Of course, even if the court disagrees, Zhao Kang will do things according to his own ideas. Dynamic with clouds: my territory, my way! Zhao Kang has always positioned himself as a warlord, a big warlord with a plug-in.
