Chapter 309: Too much
The Youzhou Governor's Mansion governs the thirty-two states in northern Shandong, but in fact, it is not as good as the Youzhou Governor's Mansion when Yan Rong was under the control of Yan Rong half a year ago, when the Youzhou Mansion was only a middle governor's mansion, but it has already governed the thirteen states of Hebei, and almost the entire territory east of the Taihang Mountain north of the Yellow River is under the jurisdiction of Youzhou Mansion, although there is a merge of the governor's mansion above, but it is equivalent to a king of Hebei. 《≠,▼.; After the failure of the Eastern Crusade, Yan Rong's Youzhou Mansion was cut down from several states, and this time the Youzhou Grand Governor's Mansion was set up, in addition to the twenty-one prefectures of Sanfan, and the eleven states under the original Prefecture and the Prefecture Governor's Office, these eleven states Zhongwu and Fu Erzhou were newly established states before, and they were not in the thirteen states of the original Youzhou Prefecture. In this way, the thirteen states that were equal to the original Youzhou Governor's Mansion were finally left with only nine states, and four states were cut down. Now these eleven states are divided into eight governors' offices, You, Fu, Wu, Tan, Xuan, Ping, Ying, Yi eight governors' offices, of which Youzhou Prefecture governs You, Ying, Ding, Heng four states, and the remaining seven governors each only govern one state.
Now Youzhou Mansion has been upgraded to a large governor's mansion, and in fact, it has become a large governor's mansion, which has jurisdiction over seven governors' mansions and Yanshan, four southern prefectures, and twenty-one prefectures.
It was unrealistic for Yi Feng to immediately control such a huge land of thirty-two states.
Although the twenty-one prefectures of Sanfan belong to the Youzhou Governor's Office, in fact, everyone knows that these Hu people belong nominally at most, and the division of prefectures and counties is at most fetters, and it is impossible to really control them in actual terms. Even if Yi Feng had a very close relationship with Sanfan, it was impossible for him to really interfere in their internal affairs. Sanfan is not so much a subordinate as an ally.
And even if the three prefectures are eliminated, the remaining seven governors and eleven prefectures are not so easy to control.
Yan Rong has been in Youzhou Mansion for eight years. has long been an independent dynasty in Youzhou Prefecture, but this time Yan Rongyi fell. The entire Youzhou Mansion was immediately unlucky. Both the crown prince and the Han Wang party knew that the states of Youzhou Mansion had always belonged to the Governor's Office of the Prefecture. However, the governor of the state has changed several times over the years, and no governor has always actually controlled the Kanto, so Yang Guang, who has served as the governor of the state twice, has the opportunity to intervene in the Kanto, and finally bring in the governors on the front line of the Great Wall, especially east of Taihang. After Yang Liang arrived in the annexation of the state, he showed that his control over the southern governors was okay, but the governors in the north ignored him as the big governor, and the governors in Hedong and the north were better, while the governors in Shandong directly regarded him as a fart. At present, Yang Liang has the support of the crown prince, after taking Yan Rong. Of course, it is advisable to chase after the poor with the remaining Yong, who is willing to let go of this opportunity to uproot Yang Guang's forces in Hebei.
The prince and Yang Liang wanted to chase and beat the governors of Hebei, and Yang Jian was also happy to succeed. Taking down these managers is a good suppression for Yang Guang, and Yang Jian also intends to take the opportunity to start a small-scale purge. When Yang Jian sent Yan Rong to Youzhou, he knew that Yan Rong was a cool official, but he still used Yan Rong, and he had been using it for many years, how could he not know what Yan Rong had done. But he still used Yan Rong all the time. The key is to use the tiger to devour the wolf, the land of Youzhou is in the north of Hebei, and it has always been a force that is least compatible with the Guanlong nobles, after the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty. It was also often the source of rebellion, and the local tyrants were even more disobedient to the imperial court. Therefore, Yang Jian sent Yan Rong to come and use Yan Rong's hand to vigorously suppress and rectify the local heroes. Over the years, Yanrong has been in Hebei. The purge of the local Haoqiang in Hebei is very strong, and those big clans are under his suppression. Quite miserable.
Just like Fan Yang Lu, one of the top high-ranking families in Shandong, was targeted and suppressed by Yan Rong, and the children of the Lu family were conscripted to serve as miscellaneous laborers in order to humiliate and suppress them.
After many years, Yandi Haoqiang was suppressed and couldn't raise his head, and he reached the limit. Yang Jian took Yan Rong down at this time, in fact, it was to cross the river and demolish the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey. Killing Yan Rong can be regarded as a little appeasement to Yan Di Haoqiang. Yang Jian's hand played very slippery, using Yan Rong to suppress Yan Di Haoqiang, and then turned around and slaughtered Yan Rong, who had a bad reputation in Yan Di, which was regarded as appeasing Yan Di Haoqiang, but in the end, Yan Di Haoqiang was still suppressed and weak, and the Son of Heaven and the court were just the result of an unnoticed use of people, and after killing Yan Rong, the court took the opportunity to appease these people, and counted them in one fell swoop.
Kill Yan Rong, and then clean up those chief assassins, not only to give an explanation to the people of Hebei, but also to take the opportunity to clean up a group of Guanlong nobles. At the beginning, Yuwentai usurped Wei and Yang Jian usurped Zhou, all of which were coups from the top down, so in the end they all retained those powerful lords and ministers of the previous dynasty. Many of the top gate valves in the DPRK and China, their power even makes Yang Jian secretly worry from time to time. As soon as he has the opportunity to clean a batch, he is of course happy to do it.
Wei Zheng said: "Judging from the current situation, the seven governors and most of the assassins under the Youzhou Grand Governor's Mansion have been replaced. Qu Tutong, the governor of Yanzhou, and Wei Chong, the governor of Yingzhou, have both been named in front of the emperor to serve as the governor of the Northern Expedition. The remaining four managers of Tanping Xuanyi, plus the assassins of Ying, Ding, and Heng, may have to be replaced. Even the town generals of the dozens of towns below, as well as the county orders of the counties, may have to be replaced. My lord, I thought we should take active action, try to get our people in it, and take the opportunity to strengthen our control over the military towns of Youzhou Prefectures and counties. ”
Xu Deyan listened, but shook his head slowly. He said to Yi Feng: "I don't think so, this purge is a joint action of the emperor, the crown prince, and the king of Han, and it is not only the Jin Wang Party that is being suppressed, but also the increasingly powerful Guanlong Group. There are many ways to intervene, but there are not many opportunities for us to intervene. In addition, I also think that it is not appropriate for us to meddle too much in this matter at this time, although His Majesty made the king the governor of Youzhou, and also served as the commander of the Eastern Route of the Northern Expedition, but His Highness should not forget that in the arrangement of this Northern Expedition, the Son of Heaven only let the Eastern Route Army led by His Highness sit in Youyan as the reserve army of the Middle Route Army. Even the 100,000 soldiers who were originally transferred to Yandi have been transferred to Hedong in the middle of the road. It can be seen from here that although the Son of Heaven made the king the chief administrator, he actually did not really trust His Highness completely. If we put our own men in the states at this time, we are afraid that it will be counterproductive. What's more, our current strength is a strength that cannot be underestimated, but if it is dispersed to various state capitals, it will be weak. ”
His words were full of worry, as Yi Feng's adoptive father, he did his best to Yi Feng, and he didn't care about loyalty to the country or anything like that, he thought about Yi Feng's private interests. According to what Wei Zheng said, arranging people to go to various states at this time seems to be indeed expanding authority and strengthening control over Youzhou Mansion. But in fact, doing so is tantamount to dispersing the strength, and with Xu Deyan's indifference to the Great Sui, he is very worried about such a hidden danger. He hoped that Yi Feng could always hold the power in his hands and maintain his combat effectiveness at any time. It was not so much to guard against the Turks, but to guard against the court behind them.
Yi Feng also agreed with Xu Deyan's idea, the Youzhou Governor's Mansion was so big, it was impossible for Yi Feng to control it all at once. Moreover, I am afraid that Yang Jian, the crown prince, the king of Han and others will not see his power increase so dramatically, and Yang Guang will not be happy to see it. In addition, the strength in his hands is not strong, and it will only be weaker when dispersed. He also thought about fighting for full control of Youzhou Mansion, but this thought was only fleeting. So many governors' offices, so many states and counties, towns and towns, more than a dozen states, there are fifty military towns under the original Youzhou Mansion alone, and now the entire Youzhou Governor's Mansion has more than 100 military towns, and it is too scattered to scatter the soldiers and horses. A drop of ink poured into a bowl of water can stain all the water black, but if a drop of ink is poured into a pond of water, I am afraid that it will soon dissipate and become invisible.
Thinking about it, he can't eat fat in one breath, and his intuition and reason tell him that he should take every step of the way.
Now Xu Deyan's words are more certain of his thoughts, "What Sima said is that it is too much. What we need to do now is to continue to stabilize the control of Wuzhou, and then find a way to control Youzhou in hand, and then find a way to control the Yanzhou between Youzhou and Wuzhou. ”
Of course, for other governors, prefectures, counties, and military towns, it cannot be said that they are completely ignored. It is inconvenient for them to directly control these places, but it does not mean that they can just give up. Yi Feng's idea was that he could recommend a group of people other than Huaihuang to the imperial court to serve, of course, it was best to recommend these people who were neither Huaihuang or the prince, the king of Han, the king of Jin, etc., in short, it was inconvenient for him to control these places, and he could not let them fall into the hands of the prince, the king of Jin, and the king of Han. After all, Yi Feng's lack of ability to control the provinces of Youzhou today does not mean that he will not have the strength to control the provinces in the future. Now if the prince and other henchmen are allowed to control zhì, it will be difficult to take it again in the future.
"It turns out that the king said that he wanted to recommend Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, but he was not a lie." Wei Zheng said with a smile.
"Of course, it's not a lie." Yi Feng said, "Li Yuan, I have inquired, his ancestor is one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, and Li Yuan's father is married to the daughter of Dugu Xin, who is also one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, and the current queen's sister. But Li Yuan's father died early, although he was the prince of the country, but the family did not have a person in charge of important positions in the court, Li Yuan was thirty-three years old, but he was only a palace guard. Moreover, Li Yuan and the princes did not follow the very close. Now that he has taken the initiative to show favor to me, it is a plan to kill two birds with one stone and recommend him to serve in Youzhou. (To be continued!)
