Chapter 213: Acting Northwest County Warden
In the following days, Shangguan Yonglun and Li Dadang's task of "suppressing bandits" also achieved fruitful "results," and the "bandits" scattered one after another, and in just a few days, all the horse thieves and bandits disappeared without a trace. There were more people in the streets again, and the rumors that had been boiling over were naturally dissipated by the successive victories of the army, and the Northwest County returned to its original appearance, except that it changed owners.
Qin Duan has already sent a message to Ma Peng and Deng Xian, who stayed in the capital, to carry out activities in the capital, and also sat on the cold bench of the original critical form of the Northwest County to make some exaggerated reports, but there will definitely be many people in the court who are very jealous of Qin Dui's entry into the Northwest County, who wants another powerful person to appear in the Northwest Region that has not yet calmed down? Especially those who have a greater or lesser stake in the Northwest.
However, since there is a side that does not want Qin Duan to be strong, then his opponents can make good use of it. The enemy of the enemy is the friend, and those who believe in this sentence will not forget it.
Before entering the Northwest County, Qin Duan had fully considered this point, and had already arranged for people to send secret letters to Ma Peng and Deng Xian. Of course, there are also their cheap fathers-in-law, Li Shaoqin and Wei Zhongxian, who also want to say hello, who let them be their own people now, and who will they help if they don't help themselves.
Now I'm afraid that the imperial court in the imperial capital is arguing over this matter. Looking at the vast night sky of the galaxy, Qin Duan turned his gaze to the far east, hoping not to disappoint me.
Emperor Si Zhao Youxiao's imperial case of the Great Qin Emperor had a few folds on it, and his face also looked a little uncertain. This Qin Duan actually sent troops to neighboring prefectures and counties without the consent of the imperial court, this is indeed something that has never happened in the history of the empire, although there is a reason for it, but if others follow suit, wouldn't it be lawless?
"The situation is clear to you. I don't know what you think? "Let's listen to the opinions of His Highness's ministers.
"Returning to his father, the sons believed that although Qin Du was to help friendly neighboring prefectures and counties, this had destroyed the system set by the imperial court, and this trend could not be long, but in view of the situation at that time, it was compelled. It can allow Qin Dui to lead his army back to Tokugawa after stabilizing the situation. ”
The speaker is the crown prince Zhao Yan, the northwest region is related to the overall situation, and it is also related to its interests, on the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly? This is also the situation he doesn't want to see, but because he doesn't know the intentions of the emperor, he doesn't dare to say it too much, once His Majesty agrees with Qin Duan's move, wouldn't it be unflattering to both ends?
"Your Majesty. The slave maid did not agree with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's opinion. The northwest county is urgent, precarious, and its own strength is insufficient, and it is a matter of course to ask for help from friendly neighbors, and if friendly neighbors do not save them when they see death, then they should be punished. Although the imperial court had a system stipulating that without the approval of the imperial court, the army was not allowed to leave the defense zone without authorization. But it should also be based on the actual situation, is it difficult to wait until the bandits have ransacked the Northwest County before allowing the army to intervene? ”
"Qin Dui's move should be commended. The slave maid and the emperor can conform to the will of the people, let Qin Du concurrently serve as the county guard of the Northwest County, and wait for the situation in the Northwest County to be completely normal. The slave maid heard that Qin Du governed the local area in Tokugawa County in an orderly manner, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, which was really a rare and capable minister of the emperor. ”
The one who came out to refute was the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian, after receiving the news from Qin Duan. He also had a feeling of joy and sorrow, Qin Dui was able to inform himself before the action, obviously taking himself as a backer, but he was so bold and reckless, he could also get a glimpse of his ambition. It's a bit difficult to know what kind of attitude I should take. But when he thought that he was already engaged to his niece, and he would be his own nephew in the future, Wei Zhongxian knew what to do.
"Weichen thinks what Gonggong Wei said is reasonable." Li Shaoqin immediately stood up and said.
"Wei Chen also thinks that what Wei Gonggong said is reasonable."
Personnel from Wei Zhongxian's faction, as well as some neutral officials, came out to support Qin Du's concurrent position as the county warden of the Northwest County. Some of these people are the result of the activities of Ma Peng and Deng Xian.
"The minister thinks that this Qin Dui is bold and reckless, and he should be dismissed from his position as the county guard of the northwest county and escorted to the capital for processing." Zhao Nanxing, the secretary of the ministry, said.
Weichen seconded. Zuo Du Yu Shi Gao Panlong said.
Weichen seconded.
……
His Royal Highness's ministers were also immediately divided into two factions, some supported the prince's opinion, and some agreed with Wei Zhongxian's opinion, and there were different opinions. Zhao Youxiao also felt a little undecided.
"Ye Aiqing, what do you think?"
On the contrary, Ye Xianggao, who was quite influential among the ministers, did not agree with any of the parties' opinions, which made Zhao Youxiao a little puzzled.
It seems that he still can't get out of this pool of troubled waters, and Shoufu Ye Xianggao had to reply stubbornly: "The minister's opinion is slightly different from yours. The main root cause of this change is that the northwest region has been weak for a long time, and there is a lack of a strong local government. According to the information obtained by the minister, the situation in the northwest region is not optimistic, except for Lishan County and Tokugawa County after Qin Duan took over, the local bandits are rampant, social order is still very serious, and the people and merchants react strongly.
Although the Northwest Prefecture was less affected by the Huns' war than the Tokugawa Prefecture, it was plagued by the power of the Takayama tribe, and the situation was constantly unpredictable. Since the war ten years ago, the empire's control over the northwestern counties has been very small, and the entire northwest region has lacked strong checks and balances, so the above reasons have also caused the situation in the northwest to be unstable. Chen thought that this change was also Qin Du's last resort. ”
Zhao Youxiao actually knows the current predicament in the northwest region, but the war has just ceased, the danger still exists, there is no one who can control the situation in the northwest, although Qin Du is quite talented, but after all, he is too young, and his loyalty has yet to be tested, the northwest county festival makes it really difficult to find a suitable candidate for this position for a while, of course, the Emperor of the Apocalypse does not want to set up the position of the Northwest Jiedu envoy, this position is too powerful, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse does not want to raise tigers anymore.
Ye Xianggao just said the root of the matter, but he avoided talking about how to deal with it, involving the prince and Wei Zhongxian, he also had his difficulties, it seems that he still has to make his own decisions.
"Well, the current situation in the northwest region is unstable, but there is no precedent for anyone in the empire to concurrently serve as the county guard of the two counties, so I think that Qin Du will temporarily act as the county guard of the northwest county, and after the situation is stable, we will discuss it."
When the appointment of the imperial court was transmitted to the Northwest County by fast horse, it was already more than ten days later, and after accepting the congratulations of the large and small officials and local gentry and merchants, Qin Duan also made up his mind to prepare for the reorganization of the local government and army of the Northwest County, and it was also urgent to solve the problem of the Gaoshan people, and there was not enough time before September, and a little slackness would probably cause irreparable losses.
Jiao Ming was quite interesting, knowing that he would no longer have a future in Northwest County, so he resigned from the post of prefect of Yinshan Mansion very cooperatively, cleaned up the people's fat and ointment collected over the years in his career in Huan Hai, and set off to return to his hometown in Donghai County the next day. A devilish smile appeared on Qin Duan's face that even Zhuge Fang felt a little chill.
Although he was only an acting county guard, Qin Duan never thought that anyone else could take away the fat of the Northwest County from his own hands, even if Emperor Zhao Youxiao couldn't, it would be the most reliable and stable rear for Qin Dui's expansion.
The reorganization of the army was even more vigorous and resolute, because the original post of commander of the Northwest County Garrison Army had been concurrently held by Sun Dejian himself, and although the deputy division commander was less than 45 years old, he also retired and returned to his hometown to retire under Qin Du's "care" as soon as he returned from the front line of confrontation with the Gaoshan people.
As for the officers at the grassroots level, Qin Duan did not make much adjustment, one reason is that they are just carrying out the orders of their superiors, and the struggle at the top is just an ethereal thing for them, not to mention that Sun Dejian has not brought them much benefit, and maintaining the necessary stability will also help me to completely control the situation in the northwest county more quickly.
Qin Du ordered all the garrison divisions of the former Yinshan Prefecture to return to Fucheng from the garrison, and dismissed Li Dadao from his post as the commander of the 1st Division of the 1st Army of Tokugawa County, and appointed Chen Deming as the commander of the 1st Division of the 1st Army and Yu Fei as the deputy division commander.
Li Daring was the deputy commander of the Second Army Corps of Tokugawa County, and the commander of the corps was Qin Du himself, and at the same time drew 10,000 troops from the original Tokugawa First Army and Tokugawa Garrison Corps, and the original 90,000 Army Corps of Northwest County to form the Second Army Corps, which was stationed in Northwest County.
After bargaining with Qin Dui, Qin Du finally agreed that he would transfer some middle-level officers from the former Tokugawa First Army to join the Second Army in order to strengthen the leadership and promote training as long as possible.
All of this qiē was completely solved by Qin Duan within a week, and the rest was the problem of the Gaoshan people, but this problem, Qin Duan had already made a bamboo in his chest, as for whether it was successful or not, it depended on Qin Dui's eloquence and whether the Gaoshan people had a smart and wise leader.
Zhuge Fang, who had been temporarily appointed by Qin Duan as the director of the Northwest County Administration Bureau, followed Qin Duan and strolled through the streets of Yinshan after him, "My lord, I think it's better to send some personal guards to go with me, just in case." ”
"Zhuge Fang, if the Gaoyue clan really wants to be unfavorable to us, going to a few hundred guards will not help, but it will increase their suspicion. I don't think they will turn their faces without even hearing the conditions, but I am still the chief executive of this side, and I don't think they will be so rash. They have been confined to this mountain long enough, do they really not yearn for a better life? Is it so difficult that you are willing to be trapped in this mountain for generations and unable to develop? I think their leaders will make a wise choice. ”
Qin Duan said talkatively, now that he has practiced the third level of "King Kong Jue", Qin Dui, who is already invulnerable, is much bolder, this may be the boldness of Yigao. (To be continued......)
