After deciding on the candidates for Shangshutai and the Sixth Division, Zhang Mad appointed the old man Wei Xiao to the important position of Imperial Doctor after some consideration.

Wei Xiao has grasped the secrets of espionage for Zhang Qiang over the years, although his reputation is not obvious, he can be called a sentence of hard work. With Wei Xiao as the imperial doctor, with his mastery of the informant, it is obviously an invisible deterrent to those lawless officials.

In addition, in this appointment, there is also the intention of arrogance to maintain a balance between the authority of his subordinates.

After all, Wei Xiao has served as a spy secret for a little too long. Promoting him to Imperial Doctor can be regarded as avoiding Wei Xiao from completely turning the spy agency into private ownership.

After Wei Xiao is promoted, he will be replaced by Guo Jia. This ghost talent's talent in espionage is extremely admired even by Wei Xiao. It is foreseeable that this personnel change will not weaken the arrogant side's ability to control intelligence.

Since Zhang Mad became "Duke of Zhao", his territory was called "Principality of Zhao", and the army of Principality of Zhao was officially named "Zhao Guo[] Army".

Although the area under Zhang's jurisdiction has lost a large number of people after years of war, the remaining population still exceeds 10 million. With such a huge ruling foundation, the scale of the Zhao State's [] army will naturally not be small. The number of standing armies alone exceeded 200,000.

If it is a full-scale levy, even if it is an army of 500,000, Zhang Qiang can barely get it. It's just that if you want to maintain the existence of an army of 500,000, even if you pour all your family wealth up, you can maintain it for half a year at most.

However, the territory of Zhang Qi is also large, and the army used to defend various places has taken up more than 100,000. The total number of mobile Zhao State [] troops that can really be mobilized at will is about sixty or seventy thousand.

With enough troops, it is natural that there will be enough excellent military commanders to lead them. Fortunately, Zhang Qiang not only collected many famous generals recorded in history in many years of warfare. It also vigorously carried out non-commissioned soldier literacy education in the army of the prefecture, thus cultivating a large number of qualified low-level military officers.

Regarding the generals, the highest position set by the arrogant general, of course, must be vacant first, so as to leave some room for the generals below to progress in the future. The same is true of the post of general, which is reserved for those who come after him to establish meritorious service.

Anyway. The current military activities are personally supervised by Zhang Maoma, and there is no need to worry about no one coordinating the overall situation. Therefore, the highest official position that the generals have obtained at present is only the "General of the Four Expeditions", and even the rank of "General of the Four Towns" has been deliberately vacated.

As for the specific appointment of military generals, they are as follows:

The four generals were:

Zang Ba, the general of the east, Yu Ban, the general of the south, Le Jin, the general of the west, and Li Dao, the general of the north.

Zang Ba, Yu Ban, Le Jin and others are veteran generals. The credit is also great. Among them, Zang Ba has led an army by himself all the year round and is in charge alone; In the ability to train troops and command troops, he is known as the first in the Zhao State's [] army; As the supreme leader of the cavalry of the Zhao State, it is natural for Le Jin to get the title of General of the Four Expeditions. For the appointment of the above three, the officers and soldiers in the army did not have much opinion.

However, it has not been long since Li Dao joined the forces of Zhao State. A guy with shallow qualifications was able to serve as the general of the expedition to the north. However, many people disagreed.

Zhang Qiao's consideration for this is that there is no problem with Li Dao's ability, otherwise he would not be valued by Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou Army and become the head of the four captains of the "Dragon, Tiger, Leopard and Bear". In the pursuit of Yuan Shao, in the battle of pacifying Qingzhou, and in the battle of Xuzhou. Li Dao has made considerable contributions.

Moreover, as an important general who later took refuge, Li Dao's appointment as the most important military general also shows the importance that Zhang Qi attaches to the generals who came later. This is a very important bargaining chip to further win over important generals in the enemy camp.

At least, originally in the Liangzhou army. Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others, who are alongside Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, must be a little half-hearted when they face Zhang Qijun, right?

As for the second-class generals in the army, such as Dian Wei, Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Tai Shici, Guo Yan, Chu Feiyan, Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Zhou Cang, Xu Sheng and others, they all got the positions of Zhonglang generals with different titles. For example, Dian Wei is the general of the guard, Guan Yu is the general of the selection of the front, Chu Feiyan is the general of the Karasuma Zhonglang, and so on.

The first-class lieutenant class includes Bao Chu, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Cheng Lian, Han Dang, He Yi, He Man, Liao Hua, Guo Jing, Bian Xi, Yin Gang, Peng Lian, Sun Guan, Cao Xing, etc. Among them, there are many abilities that are sufficient, but because it is too late to join the arrogant, or their own qualifications are too low, they have not had the opportunity to stand out and establish a macho man who is proud of his achievements. For example, Bao Chu and Zhang Liao are strong people at the level of "ten thousand enemies"; Gao Shun's ability to train soldiers does not lie in the ban.

Among these school captains, there will definitely be strong people who can stand out in the future. And the arrogance that knows them quite well will let them take on heavy responsibilities when they have the opportunity to give full play to their strength.

Originally, there was also a patriarch Song Guo, with his qualifications, at least he could mix with a Zhonglang general. However, this one was unlucky and died of illness a few years ago. However, Zhang Qiang did not forget him, and posthumously awarded him a "General Zhenxi" as a memorial to Song Guo.

These are the main generals under the insolent man.

As for the list of county magistrates in Zhao State, due to the large number of people, I will not mention them here. But the history of thorns in several large states is still very concerned by people all over the world. They are:

And the state stabbed Shi Zhang Tao.

Zhang Tao is a descendant of the Julu Zhang family, and according to the ranking in the family, he can be regarded as the arrogant brother. This person is nicknamed "Zhang Niujiao", and he was originally one of Zhang Jiao's favorite heirs. However, after the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Tao hid in the people of Jizhou for several years, but he was not satisfied, but he refused to go to Taihang Mountain to join Zhang Qiang's subordinates. It wasn't until Zhang Mad rose in Bingzhou and invaded Jizhou that Zhang Tao was convinced to defect to Zhang Mad and became one of the family members that Zhang Mad relied on.

is in the same situation as Zhang Tao, in fact, there is also a Zhang Kao nicknamed "Zhang Baiqi". This person is also the cousin of the insolent man, and he also obediently came to vote after the insolence occupied Jizhou, and now he is the county guard of Julu County, which can be regarded as the light of his background and has been able to get ahead.

The abilities of Zhang Tao and Zhang Kao are acceptable, and they may not be enough for external development, but they are better than for reassuring. At the end of the Han Dynasty, it was a common practice to appoint people from their own clan. If you put aside the people who are available to your own clan. If you don't reuse it, it doesn't conform to the customs of this era.

Bingzhou has been taken care of by insolence for many years, and various reasons have been straightened out. Julu is the lair of the Zhang family, which can be described as the heartland of the Zhao Kingdom. Even if the personnel used in these two places are less capable, the problem will not be too great. As for other places that are not yet settled, Insolence must send more capable ministers to defend it.

Youzhou Thorn Shi Chen Deng.

There are many Hu people on the border of Youzhou. It must be a ruthless enough stab history to be able to effectively restrain those who are afraid of virtue. With Chen Deng's wisdom and ruthless means, it is obviously not something that those nonsense people can afford. No, not long after taking office, there were already several large tribes that were instigated by Chen Deng, and there was a fierce civil strife.

Jizhou Thorn History Zhang Yan.

There is a proof of Zhang Yan's ability to take charge of Youzhou alone. Insolence is very reassuring. moved the governance office of Jizhou to Yecheng, and Zhang Yan became a quick knife facing Yanzhou. As long as it is launched, Cao Cao of Yanzhou will understand how powerful Zhang Yan is.

Qingzhou Thorn Shi Guan Hai.

Guan Hai is the patriarch of Taiping Dao. The eight disciples of Zhang Jiao, who were alongside him back then, are almost all gone now. Although Guan Hai is old and has more old injuries, his energy is not as good as before, but as long as he stays in Qingzhou, he can deter the officials of Qingzhou. To know. Guan Hai is even arrogant, and he has to be called a "pipe master"!

As for the big and small things in the state?

Zhang Qiang will send qualified auxiliary officials to relieve Guan Hai's worries.

Xuzhou Thorn Shi Xie Xun.

Although Xie Xun has not participated in several major wars. But it has always been arrogant as a one-sided existence. With him sitting in Xuzhou, coupled with the cooperation of Zang Ba, Sun Guan and other generals who were born in Mount Tai, Cao Cao can be threatened to the west, and Liu Bei can be coveted to the south. And with Xie Xun's identity as an arrogant brother, he doesn't have to worry that he can't suppress the big and small generals on the territory.

Sizhou Thorn Shi Guo Wei.

Strictly speaking, in the territory of the division. Only Ha Dong and Hanoi are truly controlled by insolence. With Guo Wei's qualifications and merits, as a state assassin history, the weight is still a little light, and it seems just right to get this incomplete place in Sizhou.

And Guo Wei can be regarded as an arrogant half brother-in-law. According to the old practice of the Han Dynasty, the appointment of foreign relatives was an irreproachable act. Although this man fought bravely, he was not bad at governance. After exercising in Sizhou for a few years, Zhang Qiang thought that Guo Wei could become another powerful arm of himself like Xie Xun.

With Zhang Mad officially assuming the position of Zhao Gong, the administrative and military institutions he set up finally completed the basic integration. These Wenchen fierce generals are in their own suitable positions, and they will exert more powerful power in the future reunification war!

When the news of Zhao Gong's arrogance and self-reliance reached Yuanling, it did not cause the shock and terror of the princes of the world. It is very strange that the princes of the world actually took this opportunity to directly argue with the Son of Heaven Liu for a higher title. In the helpless situation of Liu Bian, the son of heaven, those powerful princes almost talked to themselves and completed the gorgeous transformation from the state pastor to the prince.

From December of the first year of Guangzheng [198] to February of the second year of Guangzheng [199], the princes of the world announced their royal titles one after another, driven by the stimulation of Yuan Shu and arrogance.

For example, Liu Biao called himself the King of Chu, Liu Bei called himself the King of Wu, and Liu Zhang called himself the King of Shu. These people are all surnamed Liu, and although the king is a little arrogant, it is not completely unreasonable.

As for the rest of the princes who were not surnamed Liu, they were all cautious, and did not directly claim the king, but learned from Zhang Qiang to be called a prince. Cao Cao called himself the Duke of Wei, Sun Jian called himself the Duke of Han, and Ma Teng called himself the Duke of Qin.

In addition to the above mutually recognized princes, even Han Sui, who was far away in Sili, also joined this title contest and directly called himself King Liang. There is also Gongsun Du of Liaodong, after hearing about these changes in the Central Plains, he directly changed his banner of "Marquis of Liaodong" to the king of Liaodong.

Although the above two princes are not recognized by other forces, it is okay for them to entertain themselves behind closed doors.

This series of events of claiming the title of king and prince was called "Guangzheng Yihao" in the history of later generations. Later historians unanimously believe that the fall of the Han Dynasty officially began.

Since everyone was busy building the country and setting up institutions, there was no major war in the world during the entire two years of Guangzheng.

The biggest conflict that occurred that year was the Youzhou assassin Chen Deng, who sent troops to defeat the plundering team under the jurisdiction of Gongsun Du of Liaodong and beheaded more than 400 ranks...... (To be continued......)
