Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Qing'an didn't have much time in Luoyang, only one day and one night, in this short time, Li Qing'an wanted to do two things, one is to pay tribute to the Taimiao, which he has completed, that is, the power deployment of Luoyang, although Luoyang is only the capital of Chang'an, but its strategic location is extremely important, controlling Luoyang, it also controls the entire Central Plains, Li Qingan has decided to garrison Luoyang, but he also needs to fully control Luoyang's government affairs system.
In fact, the current Luoyang government system is still more complicated, both control the eastern capital of Luoyang left-behind, and Henan Mansion Yin, as well as the long history of Dugi Province, and then there is the Luoyang order, among them, the real power is Luoyang and Henan Mansion Yin, Luoyang is mainly to control the military power, although there is no garrison in Luoyang at present, but the two thousand garrisons of the Xingyang granary belong to the Luoyang left-behind command, and through these two thousand garrisons, Luoyang left-behind will actually control the Xingyang granary, and the most important strategic resources in the hands of grain, This is the biggest capital left in Luoyang.
The second is Henan Mansion Yin, which is actually the local administrative power, and Jing Zhao Yin, Henan Mansion Yin is also from the third rank, but it is not limited by many power departments like Jing Zhao Yin, more like a state assassin has local real power.
Li Qing'an's idea is to combine Luoyang Stay and Henan Mansion Yin into one, and let a person he can trust to serve as the candidate, and this candidate Li Qingan has also considered, that is, Pei Zhen.
Pei Zhen is Pei Kuan's eldest son and Pei Yu's father, and Pei Yu belongs to Li Qing'an's lineage, Pei Zhen will help his son no matter what, especially Li Qing'an's sister Xiaolian is Pei Zhen's daughter-in-law, they have a marriage relationship, so for Li Qingan, Pei Zhen is his most suitable spokesperson in Luoyang.
More importantly, Li Qing'an is preparing to carry out land reform in Dugi Province, and in the past two days he has received a detailed land report from one prefecture and four prefectures in Dugi Province, which is also the hardest hit area of land annexation, especially near Gyeonggi, and the situation of being occupied by the clan magnates is very serious, and most of these clan magnates support the Southern Tang Dynasty, and most of them have fled to Chengdu, so as to create powerful conditions for his land reform, and take these people to fight, with the least resistance and cost.
The key now is that there is no strong official to promote the land reform in Togi Province for himself, and there are too many heads and brains in the management of Toki Province, and anyone can take care of it, and in the end, no one cares, which is not possible.
After a while, Pei Zhen was led in by the soldiers, bowed down and saluted: "See His Royal Highness King Zhao!" ”
"Pei Yuanjun doesn't have to be polite, please sit down!"
Li Qingan invited Pei Zhen to sit down and said with a smile: "Did Pei Yuanjun think of a suitable name for his grandson?" ”
Pei Zhen was a little apprehensive in his heart, he didn't know why Li Qing'an left him alone, listening to him talk about his grandson, Pei Zhen's heart immediately relaxed, his grandson was his baby, how could he not have a good name?
Pei Zhen stroked his beard and smiled: "I've already thought about it, so I'll give it a single name, end." ”
'Pei Duan! Li Qingan read it twice, nodded and praised: "This name is very good, upright and strict, and he grew up with the family style of the Pei family, and he will definitely be a pillar in the future." ”
"Thank you Your Highness for your praise, the child's mother is dignified and virtuous, and she raises the child, this is the foundation of the child's life, and it is also the blessing of my Pei family to have Xiaolian, a daughter-in-law."
The two talked about the child for a while, and Li Qingan took a sip of tea, and then turned the topic to business, "I left Pei Yuanjun because I wanted to ask Pei Yuanjun for help." ”
Pei Zhen's heart was like a mirror, with Li Qing'an's strength, there was nothing else that could not be done, helping was just an implicit statement, he was actually entrusting one thing to himself, he hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Highness, please command!" ”
"That's the case, An Lushan's rebellion is a foregone conclusion, according to my strategy, I want to control the intensity of An Lushan's rebellion in Hebei Province, but An Lushan also has strong strength, I am worried that An Lushan will break through the Yellow River and go straight to Zhengzhou, so it is not safe for all the official grain in Henan Province to be placed in Xingyang, I plan to move all the grain in Xingyang to Luoyang City, I see that the imperial city is vacant and useless, just used to store grain, this matter I want to entrust Pei to complete."
Pei Zhen was a little stunned, he should find Yang Shenyu to move grain, he didn't understand what Li Qing'an meant, so he hesitated and said: "I am very willing to do things for His Highness, but Xingyang's grain has always been managed by Luoyang, is it a bit ..... for me to overstep my authority like this?"
Li Qingan sneered lightly and said: "When will Luoyang stay in charge of Zhengzhou, to put it mildly, it is Yang Shenyu who has been overstepping his authority, this should be the authority of the governor of Dugi Province, what does it have to do with him?" I thought it was a little unreasonable that I thought about straightening it out. ”
Pei Zhen suddenly realized, it turned out that Li Qing'an wanted to seize Yang Shenyu's power and move Xingyang's grain to Luoyang, naturally the two thousand soldiers would not follow, and Li Qing'an's army would be responsible for guarding it, so in this way, Li Qing'an's army would control the Luoyang Palace, and Yang Shenyu would be completely hollowed out, and Li Qing'an would hand over the control of the grain to himself, which would be equivalent to replacing Yang Shenyu by him.
Although Li Qing'an did this more skillfully, Pei Zhen always felt that there was another link that was not well controlled, that is, Shi Miao Jinqing, the governor of Dugi Province, and Luoyang Ling Jiwen, although both of them did not have much power, but if the two of them and Yang Shenyu joined forces, he might not be able to fight them, especially Li Qing'an gave all the power to himself, and the possibility of the three of them joining together would be greater.
Thinking of this, he reminded Li Qing'an: "Maybe the general doesn't know that Henan Province is under the jurisdiction of Dugi Province, and strictly speaking, Dugi Province can also inquire about grain matters." ”
"Don't worry about this Pei Envoy, Miao Jinqing is going to be transferred to Luzhou Taishou, the post of Dugi Provincial Governor will be concurrently held by Pei Envoyjun, Ji Wen will be transferred to Youzhou Governor Shi, Luoyang Commander will send someone else to take over, and I will deploy 10,000 troops to stay in Luoyang, so that Luoyang's affairs will be straightened out."
Li Qing'an's arrangement gave Pei Zhen a reassurance, that is to say, he will become the highest political official in Luoyang and even Dugi Province, originally Henan Mansion Yin had a lot of power, but due to the constraints of Dugi Province and Luoyang left behind, his power was greatly reduced, and now Li Qing'an has dredged up several of the most critical nodes, Pei Zhen feels as if he has been loosened, and his power has risen sharply, and no one can restrain him anymore, he can't help but be very grateful, and hurriedly got up and gave Li Qingan a deep salute: "I must do my best to humble my position, Govern Luoyang for His Royal Highness. ”
Li Qingan smiled and said, "Pei Yuanjun, please take a seat!" Let me now talk to you about the implementation of land restructuring in Togi Province. ”
....... Early the next morning, Li Qingan led an army of 50,000 to leave Luoyang and march to Zhengzhou, and in the evening the army arrived in Yanshi County.
At dusk, the sky that had been overcast for several days finally began to rain, and the rain became heavier and heavier, and the whole of Dogi Province was immersed in a white rain and mist.
The large camp of the Anxi army was stationed on a high ground, the soldiers braved the rain to set up the camp tents, pulled up the camp fence, and several high guard towers were built, although it was only one night, but Li Qingan did not dare to be careless, and he asked his subordinates to implement every detail one by one, which is also the consistent style of the Anxi army, and the strength of the Anxi army is not only the combat capability, but also includes the garrison, training, logistics and so on.
Everything has to be considered in detail, everything is meticulous, this is the fundamental reason why the Anxi army maintains strong combat effectiveness, for example, soldiers have to camp in the rain, many people will get drenched, which is unavoidable, but as a marching Sima, he must boil ginger soup for every soldier who is drenched in the rain to prevent the cold from entering the body, and ensure the health of the soldiers also ensures the combat effectiveness, this is the detail.
Originally, Li Heng only gave Xu Shuji 30,000 troops and ordered him to garrison Huazhou and Puzhou, mainly to defend An Lushan's army southward, but Xu Shuji expanded the scope of defense without authorization, not only controlling the two states of Huapu, but also taking advantage of the emptiness of the Central Plains to occupy the five prefectures of Bian, Cao, Song, Yan and Xu, and expanding the army from 30,000 to 70,000.
It can be seen that Xu Shuji is also an ambitious person, wanting to be like him Li Qing'an, become a prince, and even divide Henan, and because of this, this Xu Shuji will never easily give up the seven states he has occupied, he will not leave until he is forced to, he will even fight with himself, so to deal with this Xu Shuji, you can't take the same surprise attack method as Ji Guangchen, you must take step by step, steady and steady.
Just as Li Qing'an was thinking about countermeasures, his own soldiers reported outside the tent: "General, General Li Guangbi has arrived." ”
Li Qingan hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Hurry up and order him to come in!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a person running in the rain and fog, carrying a sheepskin, running quickly towards this side, it was Li Guangbi.
Li Guangbi ran into the big tent and laughed repeatedly: "It's raining heavily, this is the gospel of the peasants!" ”
Li Qingan also said with a smile: "The wind and rain are smooth, which also means that our dispatch of troops this time is smooth, hurry up and enter the tent, and drink a bowl of ginger tea to warm up first." ”
Li Guangbi walked into the big tent, a personal soldier handed him a dry towel, and another person brought him a bowl of ginger tea, Li Guangbi wiped his hair, took the ginger tea and drank it dry in one go, and then he let out a long breath and bowed to Li Qing'an.
Li Qingan waved his hand and smiled: "You're welcome, sit down and talk!" ”
The two sat down in the big tent, and Li Qingan asked first, "How is Ji Guangchen?" ”
"I have placed him in a side tent, but congratulations to the General, who, after a few days of consideration, is willing to surrender to the General."
Li Qingan smiled and nodded, he originally wanted to personally persuade this person to surrender, since he surrendered himself, then save his own effort, this is the best, he smiled and said: "Okay, let's discuss it again, how to deal with Xu Shuji next." ”
