Chapter Eighty-Five: Merging Counties into States, Mountains and Rivers
Three days later, Tian Jing summoned all the officials and generals from Hedong to gather at the Pingyang Zhengbei General's Mansion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause this personnel adjustment and arrangement is related to the development of Hedong in the next five to ten years, everyone is present. However, people like Xu Huang who have not yet rushed back to Hedong, including Wei Yan and others, are naturally unable to participate, but Tian Jing also made detailed arrangements for their future positions.
At present, the territory controlled by Tian Jing of the Northern Expeditionary Army includes Hedong County, Pingyang County, Shang County, Shangdang County, including Xihe County, which is about to be occupied, with a population of 520,000, and a total of 80,000 soldiers, horses, and cavalry of the entire Northern Expeditionary Army.
Tian Jing's first reform was to integrate the counties under the rule of General Zhengbei into a single state, set up a history of assassination, and manage civil affairs; In order to conquer the northern general's mansion to be in charge of the military. Specific to each county, the border counties will be guarded by military forces; The inland army is guarded by civilian officials, and military generals are used to assist in the military.
The new prefecture was named Merge Prefecture, indicating that Tian Jing still had ideas about annexing Taiyuan and Yanmen counties in the future. Tian Jing took Tian Feng as the history of the state and Yang Xiu as the long history; Zhang Yan is the Taishou of Pingyang, and Qi Tai is the Governor of Pingyang; Zhao Yan is the Taishou of Xihe, and Zhang Fang is the Governor of Xihe; Fu was awarded as the party guard, and Zang Shun was the captain of the party; Huo Jun was the Taishou of Hedong; Xu Huang is the Taishou of Shangjun.
In terms of military and political affairs, the general of Zhengbei is the mainstay, supplemented by the general Xu Shu of the military division and Hu Cai, the rear army division. In peacetime, only the infantry and cavalry armies were under the command of the general's office. The garrison of the first battalion of the original infantry army was handed over to Huo Jun to command, and the back army of Ju Yan and Wu Fang's wolf cavalry garrison Anyi, with Huo Jun as the supreme commander of the Anyi theater; Wang Ping's third battalion, Hao Zhao's Changshui Lieutenant Battalion cavalry garrison Shangdang, Gao Shun's trap camp and Cao Xingsheng's lieutenant battalion garrisoned Shangdang Tianjing Pass and Huguan, Sun Qing's Flying Tiger Battalion withdrew from Montenegro, garrisoned Shangdang to assist in the defense of Huguan, crowned Wang Ping as the governor of Shangdang, and Wang Ping as the supreme commander of the Shangdang theater. The fifth battalion led by Zhang Yan garrisoned Pingyang, and Li Meng's Tun cavalry captain increased to the first battalion and garrisoned Pingyang. With Zhang Yan as the governor of Pingyang and Xihe Theaters, he commanded two battalions of soldiers and horses, including Wei Yan and Zhang Fang, and when the time was ripe, he sent troops to occupy Yanmen County. Xu Huang was the governor of the cavalry, and led three battalions of cavalry to protect the safety of the grassland from Shangjun to Youzhou.
Originally, among the five schools of the Northern Army, there was still a lack of commander in the Yue cavalry lieutenant battalion, Tian Jing took Zhang Xiu's son Zhang Quan as the Yue cavalry captain, garrisoned Pingyang, and the first cavalry battalion of 3,125 people were recruited from the reserve sick of Xu Huang Shangjun. Xu Huang commanded the three battalions of cavalry, the first battalion Zhonglang will be led by Xu Huang, the second battalion Zhonglang will be Zhang Liao, and Leping will be the third battalion Zhonglang general. Because Zhang Liao originally had more than 1,000 Bingzhou cavalry under his command, plus the soldiers and horses recruited in the Battle of Qingzhou, Zhang Liao's cavalry was full. In addition, an additional battalion of cavalry was set up as the fourth cavalry battalion, led by Wu Guoxing, who was the first to follow Tian Jing. Lu Qilin led Bai Ma Yi from the first battalion, and selected one hundred elite dead soldiers from the backbone of the previous Bai Ma Yi as the White Horse Guard, responsible for Tian Jing's own safety.
This time to the north through Liaodong, Tian Jing with Lu Qilin, Zhang Liao, Zhang Quan's three battalions of cavalry, as well as Li Kang's five hundred flying tiger army, these five hundred people are now accustomed to riding war horses to march, Tian Jing gave the name of the tiger cavalry battalion, this time Tian Jing decided to take the military division Xu Shu with him, the flying eagle captain Yan Rou and his generals have entered Youzhou in advance.
This time, Tian Jing went to Liaodong, for as little as a year, or as many as several years, so all states and counties in the prefecture must strengthen their defense, and while keeping the enemy from the outside, they must also take into account production and encourage childbirth. In small battles, the state and county guards were the main officers, and once the Cao army attacked and annexed the states in a big way, then everything in wartime was subject to the unified dispatch of the Assassin's Mansion.
After Tian Jing arranged all the military and political affairs in the state, he went to the back house to explain the situation to the two ladies. When they arrived in the back house, they suddenly heard Lu Wen and Qi Ying laughing, and after Tian Jing entered, Qi Ying looked shy. Lu Wen said, "You came at the right time, my sister has great news to tell you!" ”
Tian Jing was stunned when he heard this, "Could it be that my eldest brother Qi Tai is going to get married?" ”
Lu Wen was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said with a smile, "You are doing your best to other people's hearts, my sister is happy, congratulations on becoming a father?" ”
Tian Jing was overjoyed when he heard this, and hugged Qi Ying up. Qi Ying was embarrassed and shouted, 'Quickly let me down, there is a child in my belly!' Only then did Tian Jing let go.
Tian Jing first ordered someone to increase the number of maids who took care of Qi Ying, and then asked Qi Ying to go out less, not to go out for consultation, and to help people see a doctor. Then he said that Qi Ying lost her mother when she was young, and if she didn't know anything, she could ask Yang Biao's wife for advice.
Because Lu Wen can't have children, she really likes Qi Ying's pregnancy. Seeing Tian Jing's chaotic appearance, let him sit down quickly and don't worry about it. Qi Ying has studied medicine since she was a child, and she knows more about this than them.
Tian Jing then remembered to ask the child for a few months.
Qi Ying said shyly, "When was the last time you left, but now you came to ask me." It's only been about three months. ‘’
Tian Jing thought for a while and said, "I am pregnant in October, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back when you give birth?" ”
Lu Wen asked, "It's only been a few days since I returned to Hedong, and I'm going to go on an expedition again?" ”
Tian Jing said, "I can't help myself." Once we relax, we are afraid that tomorrow Cao Jun will hit the door. In this way, I will first give the child a name, if it is a boy, it will be called Tian Wen, and if it is a girl, it will be called Tian Shu. When I'm away, you have to take care of Qi Ying. ”
Lu Wen said, "Where is the war this time?" ”
If Qi Ying never asked where Tian Jing went, but Lu Wen was different. She is behind the door, and she is still very concerned about these.
Tian Jing told the two of them about his arrangements to go to Liaodong.
After hearing this, Lu Wen said curiously, "I can't imagine that there are so many talents under your command, and the plot of Liaodong is absolutely uncommon for people to come up with." Since you are going to Liaodong, I will go with you. ”
Tian Jing hurriedly stopped after hearing this, "This road is very dangerous, I have no chance of winning there, you still sit in the General's Mansion in Pingyang to protect Qi Ying and our future children!" ”
Lu Wen said, "Is it because you are in danger that I want to help you?" If I say that I can't help much in front of the two armies, but this strange and dangerous thing is where me and my hundred female soldiers come in. Leave it alone, I'll go with you when I leave in five days. ”
Tian Jing knew Lu Wen's character, and he couldn't stop it, so he didn't say it anymore.
At this moment, the maid reported that Miss Tian Shuang was here. Lu Wen said "please", and then said to Tian Jing, "It's all because you get lovesick debts, but people come to visit every day, but I happened to see you today." ”
Tian Jing was also embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with it, when he was in Qingzhou that day, Tian Jing once proposed to marry Tian Shuang as brother and sister, so that he could have a response. But Tian Shuang said that Tian Feng was not there, and he couldn't call the shots, so it dragged on until now. In fact, everyone knows that Tian Shuang likes Tian Jing, but Tian Jing doesn't want to marry, and he can't say what the reason is.
At this time, Tian Shuang happened to come in, and when she saw Tian Jing, Tian Shuang was also stunned, she thought that only Lu Wen and Qi Ying were in the inner house. Seeing Tian Jing, he hurriedly saluted, "I have seen General Zhengbei."
Tian Jing gestured to Tian Shuang to excuse himself, but he deduced that there was still official business in the army and found an excuse to leave.
Tian Jingxin said that it is not a way for Tian Shuang's matter to drag on like this, and he has to find a fast son-in-law for him. Tian Jing left the General's Mansion and walked out, passing by Xu Shu's house. Tian Jingxin said that he hadn't seen the old lady for a long time, so he bought some gifts and visited the door in person.
At this time, Xu Shu was not at home, and he was still working in the shogunate. Mother Xu was very happy to see Tian Jing, and asked Tian Jing to sit down and talk after the ceremony. Tian Jing asked: "Is my aunt used to living in Pingyang?"
Xu Mu said: "Habit, habit, thank you for the general's care." We have never had such a stable and good life before. ”
Tian Jing said: "In a few days, I will take Xu Junshi to Liaodong to do business, this will be more than a year, and my aunt will take good care of her body." If there is anything useful to me, just speak. ”
Mother Xu said: "Yuan Zhi told me, the man is ambitious in all directions, and he should have walked around." General, don't bother my wife, I really have something to ask you for. ”
Tian Jing hurriedly helped Mother Xu and said, "Auntie, it's okay to say it." ”
Mother Xu sighed and said, "My son, everything else is fine, you say filial piety, that's true filial piety, it's not big enough to settle down, but he doesn't worry about this lifelong event." You see that he is seventy-seven out of twenty, and he has never married a daughter-in-law, he is not in a hurry, I can't help but be in a hurry, otherwise in the future, after their Xu family is extinct, how can I see his dead father under Jiuquan. As she spoke, the old lady burst into tears.
Tian Jingxin said, what is this worry, I forgot about Xu Shu, a handsome guy and Wang Lao Wu, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Auntie, don't worry, you don't care about other things, but leave this matter to me, you can put your heart in your stomach." ”
The two chatted for a while, and Tian Jing said goodbye and went home. Back in Fuzhong, Tian Shuang had just left. Tian Jing asked Lu Wen to prepare a family banquet, and said that he would celebrate Qi Ying's joy and invite some close generals to dinner tomorrow. Among the people invited, the first one is Xu Shu, the second is Zhang Quan, the third is Yang Xiu, and the finished one is Li Kang, Le Ping, and the eldest brother Qi Tai, who is accompanying the guests, is Lu Wen, Qi Ying and Tian Shuang.
Qi Ying wanted to stop it, and hurriedly said: "This hasn't been born yet, how can you make a big deal of it, this meal is still not invited." ”
Lu Wen Bingxue is smart, and the guests she invited are all young and unmarried, so she doesn't know Tian Jing's intentions. So he smiled and went down to arrange, and his heart spoke, this Tian Shuang's vision was too high, and he was afraid that ordinary people would never be able to enter her speech. Looking at the first one to invite Xu Shu, then naturally Tian Jing is interested in this person, and he will have to help them match tomorrow.
Early the next morning, the generals came one after another. Tian Jing asked people to welcome them to the inner house, put a wine banquet in the main hall, Qi Ying was pregnant, and at the same time drank and chatted with the guests.
Tian Shuang came early, and her position was opposite Xu Shu. Originally, Lu Wen said that it was just a family banquet, but she didn't expect that there were so many people, and Tian Shuang was a little unaccustomed to it.
Tian Jing said, "Sister Shuang'er, this Li Kang and Leping are my sworn brothers, you have seen them." This Zhang Quan Zhang Gongzi is the only son of my uncle Zhang Xiu, Yang Xiu is Lu Wen's brother-in-law, and Qi Tai is Qi Ying's brother, so they are all family. As for this, it is Mr. Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi, who is also a teacher and friend with me, and now he is in charge of the military power of nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in the five counties of Bingzhou, and he is the person I rely on the most. Mr. Xu Shu is an all-round talent in literature and martial arts, both calligraphy and painting, and quite a sound rhythm, looking at the temperament, he thinks he is a literati and a scholar, but he is also a master of swordsmanship, and he is happy to enmity and hatred not to lose the ancient famous heroes. ”
Tian Jing said that Xu Shu hurriedly said, "The general praised it falsely. ”
But the more modest he was, the more he aroused Tian Shuang's interest. "Mr. is a good musician, how about the two of us play a song together to cheer up the guests present."
Xu Shu got up with a smile, "Since Miss wants to invite, Xu dares to disobey, but I am afraid that my skills will be alienated and Miss Yaxing will be ruined." ”
At this time, Lu Wen had already ordered someone to take the guqin, and after the two humbled each other, they played a song of mountains and rivers together. It's really a tacit understanding, and the sound of the piano wants to be harmonious.
Tian Jing and Lu Wen glanced at each other, knowing that Xu Shu and Tian Shuang had looked at each other, they were also very happy in their hearts.
