Chapter 345: The Decision of History (2)
History always has a striking similarity, Li Rupei thought of a lot, created the rule of Zhenguan Tang Taizong Li Shimin, killed the crown prince Li Jiancheng and Qi King Li Yuanji, in order to be able to successfully ascend to the throne, the Ming Dynasty's Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, overthrew his nephew Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen, laid a solid foundation for the Ming Dynasty's prosperity, and now he is also going to embark on such a road.
Eight years of hard work, the construction of the south into what it is today, Li Rupei can be said to be exhausted, but he also knows that he has just learned a lot of experience in history, and all these experiences have been used in governing the country, and he has a special identity, which makes the civil and military generals around him can be convinced, of course, more important is his self-discipline and foresight, employing people without suspicion of people without using this, in the process of governing the south, has been expanded to the maximum.
Many lessons in history, Li Rupei is clear, so he can skillfully avoid a lot of trouble, the importance of establishing a base area, self-evident, step by step, lay a solid foundation, this is the key to prosperity, people-oriented is the basic principle that must be followed in power, as a person who crosses, Li Rupei's education is completely different, the self-discipline in his bones, so that he can face the huge power, not to get carried away.
Eight years, history is just a flick of the fingers, but Huang Chao, who has been killed by him, rebelled for seven years, captured the capital Chang'an, and established the so-called Great Qi Dynasty.
Eight years of accumulation, finally reached the most critical step, and then Li Rupei will lead the iron-blooded army to attack the north, this time the attack, will it be particularly smooth, what kind of situation will there be. He doesn't know, and he can't completely control it, but he will do his best to keep the situation in Datang stable.
November 20, 2nd year of Guangqi.
Southern Road Daxingtaifu, lobby.
It is a place for discussing important matters, and is rarely used in general.
Cui An led everyone and stood under the lobby, with solemn expressions on everyone's faces, looking at Li Rupei standing on the stage.
In fact, when I came to Daxingtai Mansion and saw the people gathered in the lobby, everyone understood the meaning of coming here today. However, no one will take the initiative to speak, which makes the atmosphere in the lobby seem solemn and serious.
Li Rupei looked at everyone, trying his best to control his emotions, and was about to make a major decision, and it was impossible for him to remain indifferent.
"What we are discussing today is one thing, Dingding the capital of Chang'an and the eastern capital of Luoyang."
Li Rupei's simple words made the lobby even quieter, although he had known what was going on for a long time, but Li Rupei said it himself. It's still a huge shock to everyone.
"The situation in the south has stabilized, the people are basically rich, all taxes can cover all expenses, and the Iron Army has been trained for a long time. The morale of the generals is high, and it can be said that they are ready to go, and in this case, a certain person thinks that the time is ripe for the north. ”
"Going north can be said to be the most important thing facing the Southern Provincial Government. Logically speaking, it should be necessary to be fully prepared, and doing something has always been steady. But this time the situation was different, after the recovery of Longyou Dao and the transfer of Tibet to the rule of the Tang Dynasty, the situation changed. ”
"Two days ago, Yang Fugong, the lieutenant of the Zuo Shence Army and the left privy envoy of Chang'an, the capital, sent an envoy and brought a handwritten letter, and the other contents of the letter do not want to say more, but there is one thing, it must be said that Yang Fugong hopes that he can maintain the ancestral system of the Tang Dynasty, that is, continue to let the eunuch control the forbidden army and continue to serve as the privy envoy."
"A certain attitude towards eunuchs, and why they hate eunuchs, you already know, so Yang Fugong's request, in a certain view, is a big rebellion, that is, thinking about controlling power, ignoring the Tang Dynasty, a certain will never agree to such unreasonable demands, a certain reply to Yang Fugong is four words, so as to do it yourself, presumably Yang Fugong will understand everything after receiving the letter."
"Yang Fugong can't sit still, how can he tolerate the power in his hand disappearing in an instant, the so-called trapped beast is still fighting, the dog jumps over the wall, according to Yang Fugong's temper, if he doesn't make a scene, how can he give up, he Yang Fugong is a small thing, but the pain of the people of the Tang Dynasty is a big thing, and he doesn't want to see the devastated Chang'an and Luoyang."
"Yesterday, I thought about it seriously and made the following decision."
"First, on the first day of December, the 10,000 troops of the Iron-blooded Army Zhu Wen, Qian Mu, Yang Xingmi, Lu Shengan, and Qin Erhei returned to Xiangyang, a total of 90,000 troops, accompanied by a certain march to the capital Chang'an, and the iron-blooded army general Gao Chibang was the deputy commander of the march, and the army must pacify the capital Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang before December 30."
"Second, the places where the Iron Blood Army is stationed have been adjusted accordingly, Huang Biao is stationed in Xiangyang, Song Hu is stationed in Chengdu in Yizhou, Zhao Laibao is stationed in Guangzhou Prefecture, Cui Yanchong is stationed in Yangzhou, plus Xie Yuxin is stationed in Longyou Road, and Qin Erhei is stationed in Tibet, these six route armies have a total of 120,000 people to protect the stable situation in the south, and the garrisons of Xiangyang, Chengdu, Guangzhou and Yangzhou are not allowed to interfere in local affairs, and this military order must not be violated at any time."
"Third, Zheng Yunmo, the servant of the Daxing Taiwan Minister's Department, served as the envoy of the Shannan West Dao Festival, and Lu Guangqi, the head of the household department, served as the envoy of the Lingnan Festival, and the vacant servant of the Ministry of Officials and the Household Department, Cui Anqian, the special envoy of the Daxing Taiwan Government, was selected as appropriate."
"Fourth, Cui Shenyou, the former Lingnan Jiedu envoy, Liu Yunzhang, the former Shannan Xidao Jiedu envoy, as well as Wang Shenzhi, Zheng Yanchang and others, went to the capital Chang'an with the army."
"Fifth, the affairs of the Southern Provincial Government are fully responsible for the special envoy Cui Anqian, Cui Anqian has the right to arbitrarily make decisions on the spot, and the deputy envoy Zheng Congyan assists, you must remember that the south must be stable." ……
Li Rupei made the arrangement in an orderly manner, which seemed to be an ordinary and simple arrangement, but the meaning revealed was profound.
Li Rupei first balanced the power between the famous families, the Cui family because of their different identities, the position occupied is the most important, followed by the Zheng family, Zheng Congyan became the second only to Cui Anqian, Zheng Yunmo became the Shannan West Road Festival Envoy, this is a very prominent position, and then the Lu family, Lu Guangqi served as the Lingnan Festival Envoy, which can be said to be the representative of the Lu family, and finally the Wang family, from a practical point of view, the Wang family's talents are indeed lacking, However, Wang Xianzhi can represent the Wang family and follow Li Rupei into the capital Chang'an, which is not an ordinary signal.
Li Rupei needs to balance all aspects of the relationship, which is something that any politician needs to consider.
Of course, another meaning revealed by Li Rupei's arrangement is that after the iron-blooded army entered the capital, the candidates for the prime minister were basically determined, and the people in charge of Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province were basically clear, Cui Anqian must be the most important Shangshu Province in control of power, Zheng Congyan controlled Zhongshu Province, and Liu Yunzhang was in control of Menxia Province.
Of course, after taking control of the world of the Tang Dynasty, Li Rupei needs more talents around him.
After the deployment was completed, Daxingtaifu was like a high-speed machine, and it began to get busy.
Time is indeed very tight, there are only ten days before the army is launched, the preparation of grain and grass for the 90,000 army, the adjustment of the selection of the festival envoys, and the adjustment of the garrison places of the iron-blooded army officers and men, all of which need to be implemented one by one.
After Li Rupei made arrangements, he would not care about the specific implementation of things, which needed to be implemented by Cui Security and Zheng Congyan and others, for a while, Daxingtai Mansion became lively, and the endless stream of officials rushed back and forth, and many confidential documents were sent to various places, Cui Shenyou and Liu Yunzhang and others, after the new Jiedu envoy was in place, they rushed to Xiangyang.
All these actions were first captured by the keen businessman.
Although it is said that the affairs of the Daxing Taiwan Government are particularly secretive, it is impossible for such a large-scale transfer and adjustment to be revealed without a trace of rumors, and ordinary people may not care much about these things, but the businessmen are different.
Cui Anqian specially summoned Zou Shiming and He Yugui of the Xiangyang Chamber of Commerce and asked them to do a good job in the transportation of grain and grass.
Zou Shiming and He Yugui immediately understood what was about to happen after receiving the task, the grain and grass transportation of Longyou Road, the Xiangyang Chamber of Commerce specially organized, Tibet because the region is too remote, the Chamber of Commerce can do nothing, but after Tibet belongs to the Tang Dynasty, the Chamber of Commerce did not miss the business opportunity, and worked hard to open up the business road to Tibet.
While making specific arrangements, Zou Shiming, He Yugui and other businessmen began to adjust the composition of their respective shops, and they certainly hoped to extend the shops to the capital Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang as soon as possible.
The envoys of all parts of the festival have received a secret letter sent by the Daxing Taiwan government, which mentioned the arrangements of the Fu King Li Rupei, and reminded many festival envoys that they must pay close attention to the local situation, and if there is an accident, they will report to the Daxing Taiwan government at any time.
The atmosphere in Xiangyang began to become different, by the end of November, many rumors began to circulate in secret, of course, the Fu King Li Rupei ascended the throne, many people have a number in their hearts, not to mention that the emperor once said it himself, the throne Zen to Li Rupei, the officials in the south, the gentry and wealthy households, are willing Li Rupei to become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, after all, under the governance of Li Rupei, the south has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the Iron and Blood Army has taken back Longyou Dao and included Tibet under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, Extinguishing the Yellow Nest that has rebelled for many years, these things are not something that the emperor in the capital can do.
The so-called pulling a whole body, Li Rupei's decision this time will definitely cause a greater shock in Datang. (To be continued......)
