Chapter 0321 - Taking over Jingyuan

Early in the morning, Zhang Yue said goodbye to He Jiyun, Zan Jurun and others, and asked Yang Xuanli to lead his own soldiers to drive more than 20 carts of supplies, and escort Fu Jinqiong's carriage to follow, only with Feng Qianhou, Li Duoshou and other 100 horsemen from the fast horse whip, to Jingzhou rushed.

The Yongxing Military Mansion traveled more than 500 miles to Jingzhou, and finally entered the county seat of Baoding in the evening after six days. Because it came quickly, it was not notified in advance, and it was found in front of the Jiedu Mansion in the city and handed over the name sticker, and the tooth army in front of the door was surprised. On the one hand, he sent someone back to the back house to inform, and on the other hand, he welcomed Zhang Yue and his soldiers into the front hall inn to rest.

Wang Renho has been transferred to Suining half a year ago to replace Zhe Congruan, and Zhang Yue is now replacing Zhang Duo, who is about to transfer the town of Yanzhou, and Yuan Yu of Yanzhou will move to the town of Baoda in Yanzhou.

"Which one is General Zhang? My family envoy is invited! A small official entered the courtyard of the inn and was a little dumbfounded when he saw that several people were wearing regular clothes.

"Something is! Tired to lead the way! Zhang Yue smiled and said that in the future, these little officials will be his subordinates, so he asked again: "What kind of position?" Who's the people? ”

"General Huizhang! The humble position is a native of Lingtai County, surnamed Liu, and his name is Wenchang, and he is currently the Jiedu Yatui. The little official bowed, signed up for his number, and said when he saw that there was no one near him: "General Zhang is late, so he can only handle the handover tomorrow, and it just so happens that the tax grain and salt were also handed over to the Yongxing Military Government half a month ago, and now there is nothing to do in winter." ”

"Oh...... I don't know if the observation and the degree branch have their own government offices, or are they in the same state office? This is also something that Zhang Yue is more concerned about now, and he asks vaguely.

In Kansai Town, the Observer generally has little administrative power and more of a supervisory function. The envoy is in charge of finance and taxation, and there is a dispatch judge and a patrol officer, and his status is only under the chief and deputy observer envoys.

"The court did not send an observer envoy, only a degree of support envoy and an observer judge, which was still established after the recovery of Huizhou, and there was no one before, all of them were in the Chengdong Prefecture." Liu Wenchang suddenly realized in his heart that this General Zhang had been comprehending the history of the state assassination before, and a large number of caravans had traveled to Huining through Jingzhou all the year round.

If no observer envoy was dispatched, there would be a lot less constraints in doing things in the future, Zhang Yue put his mind at ease, and the five states under the rule of Changyi Jiedu were well managed, which was still very good, but the population was too small.

Bypassing the festival hall, I arrived at the back guest hall, and there was a middle-aged man in a purple robe, about forty or fifty years old, with a medium-sized and slightly chubby figure, a slightly dark complexion on his face, and a short beard on his chin, who looked quite elegant, not like a martial artist.

"Senior Zhang Yue, meet Zhang Yuanjun!" Zhang Yue stepped forward and saluted.

Zhang Duo hurriedly got up, led Zhang Yue to sit beside him, and said with a smile: "I have heard of General Zhang's name early, but I am just a side of fate, I don't want to be so young, and the future is immeasurable!" ”

"Where, where...... The younger generation is newly promoted to the Jianjie Festival, and there are still many unclear places related to the authority, and I am sincerely afraid in my heart, and I also ask Zhang Yuanjun to give me more advice! ”

What does this mean? Unlike in the Tang Dynasty, now Jieshuai is just to pacify local security, and Jingyuan is a different point in the border town, and it is necessary to defend Longxi and Lanzhou in the vicinity of Shengbo. Since the recovery of Huizhou, Shengfan and Shengqiang have not crossed the border to make trouble, so it is mainly in civil affairs, but it is difficult to do anything with a small population. Zhang Duo didn't understand what Zhang Yue meant, and said it very closely.

"I know more about Huizhou, but I don't know what the situation is in the four states in the east, can Zhang Envoy tell me?" Zhang Yue didn't know much about Jingyuan, only that the landform was mountainous.

"Jingzhou, Yuanzhou is slightly better, the number of households each has more than 2,000, Weizhou, Yizhou has fallen into Tibet, after the recovery of the late Tang Dynasty, the population does not exist one in ten, in order to defend Shengbo across the border to set up military forts, is currently set up as a military state, each stationed in an army." Zhang Duo finally understood, looking like he was smiling but not smiling, that clearly means, are you disappointed?

"Not bad! It's much better than Huizhou! Zhang Yue said with a smile, judging from his experience in Yanzhou's short period of governance, the number of households should be multiplied by at least ten, or twenty, before waiting for the actual number of mouths. Then with the basic population, there is always something to do.

"Haha...... Huiju isn't bad now, is it? The number of mouths is about to reach more than 200,000, others don't know, can someone still not know? Every year, caravans cross the border with a large number of retinues, and only those who go go do not see anyone returning. General Zhang is not afraid of the court's questioning if he does this? Zhang Duo asked with a laugh.

"The territory of Huizhou is too big, how can you defend the territory without population? Naturalized Qiang accounts for almost half, how can you question it? Look at Liangzhou, every year to pay tribute to 100 war horses and hundreds of raw skins, what is the use? It's just in name, and now I don't know what to do if something happens again? The new Huizhou Thorn History has not been settled, and I will no longer lead it, and it is useless for the Zhenyuan Army to be anxious, and I don't know if Hou Dashuai and Shen Nian can last until the spring of next year. Being asked by Zhang Duo like this, Zhang Yue was a little annoyed, obviously he had soldiers in his hands, but he couldn't easily cross the border.

"There's no news recently, and I don't know what's going on in Liangzhou, so I don't dare to do too much if I want to come to Zhe Kui's heart." Zhang Duo said with some uncertainty.

I really don't know what this Zhang Duo has done in Jingyuan, Liangzhou is not very far away, it seems that people in this era do not pay enough attention to Liangzhou, and they don't know the inside story. Zhang Yue was a little speechless, and immediately got up to say goodbye, Zhang Duo wanted to set up a banquet for him to catch the wind, but he also politely declined, and went back to the inn to eat with Feng Qianhou, and went to bed early.

Even if the garrison changes its defense, it is necessary to salute it first, check the troops, and wait for the troops to be deployed in place, and the party that is transferred can be withdrawn, not to mention the change of power of the commander, and the chief officials and generals of the states under the rule must come to the Jiedu station to witness, and if they can't come, they must send their deputies to come, so they waited for another day.

On the 23rd, in the middle of dawn, Zhang Yue got up to wash, and just had breakfast, Yatui Liu Wenchang came to invite. Zhang Yue hurriedly changed into a purple official robe, tied a rewarded jade belt around his waist, and didn't wear a fish bag or jade pendant, these superfluous things were really in the way. Finally, put on the sora head with folded feet and hard wings, and go out with black leather boots, Feng Qianhou and Li Duoshou waited in the courtyard, and several people went to the festival hall together, and the civil and military officials of the Jingyuan Jiedu Mansion and the Prefecture Government sat on both sides of the hall, and the power transfer ceremony of Fangzhen began.

First of all, in the middle of the festival hall, there is a one foot two high and a few short ceremonial cases, one foot two inches high, eight feet long, and there are yellow silk wrapped handsome seals, brass waist medals and temperance talismans, the country name and the surname of the general, the name of the state of Fangzhen and the name of the army. As for the Liuqi, it is only used when going out and traveling, and the handover does not need to be displayed.

"This is General Zhang, you have heard of it, let's see it first!" As soon as Zhang Yue entered the lobby, Zhang Duo sat behind the handsome case and waved his hand, and the whole hall of civil and military hula got up to salute together, but fortunately, at this time, he just gave his hand and did not speak, otherwise the crowd would really not be able to hear clearly.

Although Zhang Yue has seen a lot of big scenes, and now he is also in a high position, he is also very uncomfortable at this time, and he bowed his hand again and again. In these years, the people's customs are still relaxed and open-minded and simple, even if the emperor meets the commoners, he will return the courtesy, instead of holding his head high.

Zhang Yue strode forward, sat down on the guest seat on the side of the handsome case, and Feng Qianhou was smiling and full of joy to follow behind. Li Duoshou also saw this situation for the first time, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he was more excited than Zhang Yue.

"Are you all ready? Let's get started! Zhang Duo gave an order, and the honor guard in the corner behind the festival hall sounded and made fun, the sound of the golden cymbals was clear and pleasant, and the drums and horns outside the gate rang in unison, and they were passed far away. Subsequently, on the drum tower in the city, the drummers who had been prepared for a long time also beat the drums in harmony, making the entire state city audible from far and near.

As soon as the music stopped, according to the etiquette procedure, Zhang Yue got up and bowed to Zhang Duo in front of the handsome case, and presented the emperor's edict book, which was read out by Zhang Duo, and then Zhang Duo returned the salute, and the etiquette was first completed.

Then the two festival marshals and the full house of civil and military people bowed to Tokyo together. After that, he took out the roster of officers and the household registration book, and began to hand over military and political affairs. The military attache stepped forward to salute first, because the marshal's evaluation of political performance was mainly military. If the marshal adds the title of the same level, he can also exercise the right to do so; If the observer envoy is also a temperance envoy, he can also govern the army; If the regimental training envoy is judged to observe the envoy, he is also both military and political, but the latter two have less power.

And Zhang Yue is a champion general, Yinqing Guanglu doctor and Fang Zhen, and his scope of power is worse than the first two above, because the civil, military, and loose officials have no actual scope of authority. The marshal has a way to govern the army for the exam; Military and civilian adequate food is the high school entrance examination; Side work is the next test. It's not that the military exploits are not taken seriously, if the military merits are examined, the section commanders want to go out to expand the land, which is contrary to the original intention of the establishment of the authority of the festival degree.

"Liu Wenbo, the deputy commander of the last general of the Ya Army, a native of Jingzhou, once commanded the Ya Army to recruit Huining and meet Zhang Zhijun!" A red-robed officer in his twenties came out to salute.

This person is tall, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, typical of Kansai Han. Zhang Yue didn't have any impression, and secretly remembered it in his heart, just smiled and nodded, owing himself a courtesy. Now that he is a Shangguan, of course, he no longer returns with the same courtesy.

"The last general knows the affairs of the Yizhou military state, and Du Yanhui, the supervisor of the Yining army, a native of Pizhou, from Zhenghui Ning to know Yizhou with merit, and meet Zhang Zhijun!" Another fair-skinned, shrewd-looking military attaché, about thirty years old, with two handsome mustaches, stepped forward to salute.

Zhang Yue looked at the file roster in his hand, nodded in return, and remembered the person's appearance. Then there is Shi Deyuan, the eldest son of Shi Yi, the former Jingzhou marshal, the official governor of Weizhou, the commander of the soldiers and horses of the Yisheng Army, and the defense envoy of Xiaoguan.

The military attaches are these people, the envoy of Jingzhou and the history of the assassin and the defense envoy; Yuanzhou is a assassin and a defense envoy, but in fact, he is a civilian official, and the deputy defense envoy actually governs the troops, and he also stepped forward to see them one by one.

A group of officials took turns like a marquee, Zhang Yue's memory was quite good, and at this time he gradually became a little unbearable, and he couldn't remember it, but that's the end of it. It took an hour before and after the etiquette was finished.

Zhang Duo congratulated him and got up to say goodbye, and Zhang Yue led the officials to send them out of the government. More than a dozen carriages full of luggage and family members were parked in front of the door, and three hundred horsemen were waiting. (To be continued.) )
