Chapter 5: Jun En (Mikami)
Feeling the hot water stains on the back of his hand, Yang Guang's heart was also sour and spicy. Yun Dingxing is Yang Yong's father-in-law, and in order to stabilize his authority, Yang Guang quickly eradicated several of his brothers and henchmen after he ascended the throne. He has been putting Yun Dingxing in the border army all these years, just to try to see the other party as little as possible, so as not to feel guilty in his heart. But people always miss their family affection more when they are in trouble, even emperors are no exception. If it weren't for him who forced his brothers to death and was crazy, and today everyone joined hands to tide over the difficulties, maybe Dasui would be in a different situation!
Thinking of these, Yang Guang patted the back of Yun Dingxing's hand, sighed and said, "The old general often goes back to the Eastern Capital when he has time, and I have always kept your mansion for you!" We monarchs and ministers, there is a beginning and an end! ”
Turning around, he turned his gaze to Li Xu again. "You have to do it yourself. Our Great Sui border army has always been the most brave and good at fighting, you must not fall into the prestige of the old general in the future! ”
"The old minister (the last general) honors!" Yun Dingxing and Li Xu agreed at the same time. Pei Yun, Yu Shiji and others saw that it was a foregone conclusion that Li Xu would be in charge of a border army, and it was too late to stop them, so they had to give up.
"It's a good thing that I didn't enter the court!" Pei Yun glanced at Li Xu and said secretly in his heart. In the minds of these people, the court is the center of the country, and the closer to the emperor is, the more prominent the position. As for the border army generals, although they have the right to open a government and build a government, they are far away from the two capitals, and they cannot threaten their interests at all.
Originally, Li Xu and these powerful ministers of the DPRK and China had no grudges. The reason why everyone worked together to exclude him was because everyone was from a big family, but he was from a poor family, so it was not pleasing to the eye. It's like a loach suddenly jumping into a pool of koi, and everyone hates it only because of its earthy color, without asking whether its specific behavior constitutes a hazard. When Li Xu was expelled from the court as he wished, many people's hearts were calm. Instead of wanting to continue the pursuit, he showed goodwill to him.
"The people around Fenyang are withering, and it is difficult to raise supplies by themselves. Weichen thought that His Majesty could make General Li lead his troops to move to Zhending, and supply them with materials from Lingshou, Shenze, Boling, Zhaojun and other places! Chaosan doctor Huang Gon first smiled at Li Xu, and then asked Yang Guang to consider the practical difficulties of the Fenyang army.
The minister seconded. General Li's prestige spread far and wide, and he moved to Hebei to deter those rebellious ministers and thieves! Taifu Qing Yuanwen all went out to echo.
Yang Guang had already considered this layer just now, but he didn't think about where to place this force in his hand so that he could give full play to his brave and good fighting expertise. After listening to the advice of several courtiers, I slowly had a good idea in my heart.
"Li Xu stepped forward to listen to the order!" Yang Guang smiled and paced back to the imperial case, and said loudly.
"The last general!" Xuzi strode to the center of the Golden Palace, stood solemnly with his fists clenched, and gave a military salute to Yang Guang in a dignified manner.
"This time the Yanmen thief, Li Qing contributed a lot. I Feng Ru is the champion general, the general manager of the Fenyang Army, and the marquis of Boling County. He was specially given the opening of the government to build a government, the commander-in-chief of the Fenyang Army, and the six counties of Zhuojun, Valley, Hengshan, Boling, Zhao, and Xindu were also awarded the ambassadors of comfort, and the civil and military officials of the counties were selected and replaced. Suppress bandits and quell rebellion, and in times of crisis, supplies can be deducted from local money and food! ”
"Ahh As soon as Yang Guang's voice fell, Pei Ju, the Huangmen squire who was in charge of the court, and Yu Shiji, who was in charge of the court, and Yu Shiji, who was in charge of the court, gasped at the same time. The two of them were secretly celebrating in their hearts just now for their success in blocking Li Xu's entry into the court, but they didn't expect Yang Guang to give the other party such a big benefit as soon as he turned his head. The champion general is a second-grade martial artist, and in terms of rank, he is half a level higher than General Zuotunwei. The fact that the general manager of the Fenyang Army is the actual officer shows that Li Xu can not only replace the Fenyang Army under the command of Hu Benlang's general Yun Dingxing, but also decide all the affairs of the army by himself, and have the right to kill and kill his subordinates who do not obey the order. The establishment of the government is a special power given by the imperial court to high-grade military generals, and the military generals who have this power are qualified to promote officers below the rank of lieutenant by themselves. From the five-rank governor to the third-rank general, he can guarantee everything under his command, and the military department and the official department often only go through the motions to grant the seal. And the six counties comforted the ambassadors, and undertook the dethronement of the county civil and military officials to elect and replace the county and county civil and military officials, and all the civil and military officials within their jurisdiction could theoretically be appointed and dismissed at will!
What is even more unacceptable is that there are obviously more than a dozen counties in the north of Hebei, and Yang Guang assigned the six counties near Hedong that are the least troubled to Li Xu to 'comfort'. As for the places where Dou Jiande's rebels were entrenched, such as Hejian and Pingyuan, and under the rule of Luo Yi, the general of Huben who might face rebellion, Yang Guang asked Li Xu to avoid them all. In this way, even if there is a big mess in Hejian and Jixian in the future, if Li Xu feels that the troops in his hands are insufficient, he can also sit idly by. Because his jurisdiction did not include those counties, the courtiers could not impeach him for passively avoiding war!
It can be said that since Yang Guang ascended the throne, no young man has ever been so favored. Even the sons and nephews of Yuwenshu and Laihu'er do not have so much power at present. With these powers, the garrison of the Fenyang Army could be smoothly moved from the northern part of Hedong Province to the western part of Hebei Province. With the money and food in the six counties, even if someone in the court secretly stumbled Li Xu, it could not stop the rapid development and growth of the Fenyang army. As for the title of Marquis of Boling County, which can be crowned a prince by a further dignitary, it is not so shocking compared to the huge real power.
"Congratulations to General Li Lang!" Qu Tutong and Yun Dingxing didn't wait for their colleagues to recover from the shock, and congratulated Li Xu at the same time.
"Fool, don't feel thank you yet!" Luo Shixin secretly screamed in his heart. He saw that many people were very dissatisfied with Yang Guang's decision, but there was no one to take the lead for a while, so he didn't raise any objections. After the royal case, the guy's ears are as soft as silk, if you don't hurry up and knock bricks and nails, I'm afraid this little benefit will be taken back in a blink of an eye.
Over the years, Li Xu has been rolling in officialdom. Even in Mu Na, the hints in the words of Qu Tutong and Yun Dingxing can still be understood. Immediately bowed down deeply to go, received the order to thank him, and asked Yang Guangshu to be in armor and unable to perform the full salute. However, he said that after taking over, he would definitely live up to the trust of the imperial court, march eastward as soon as possible, sweep away the thieves in the six counties as soon as possible, and return the court and the people to a peaceful place.
"Don't be in a hurry to move eastward, I still have to patrol Hedong Road for a few days, you took the Fenyang army and guarded the periphery of the Imperial Forest and the Xiongwu Second Army. When I enter Taiyuan, you will go back to Fenyang to clean up. We haven't seen each other for a while, how did you win so many battles over the years, take the time to come to me and talk about it, I like to listen! Yang Guang finally did something that satisfied him and happily added.
'This kid is shining brightly! Yu, Pei and others couldn't regret it, but they couldn't force Yang Guang to take back his life. I had to step forward with a smile, congratulating the imperial court for being handsome again, and congratulating Li Xu on his promotion to a second-grade martial arts. Li Xu didn't mind the squeeze in the other party's words, and returned the salute to the other party one by one with a smile, and at the same time modestly said that he was not talented, and hoped that several senior ministers with high moral standing would give advice. As for the food, grass and ordnance of the soldiers and horses, he did not forget to take advantage of Yang Guang's presence to ask for it directly from Master Pei Ju, who supervised the affairs of the military department.
Pei Ju couldn't shirk it in front of Yang Guang, so he had to agree and hand over the matter to Zhao Xiaocai, the secretary of the Ministry of War. Li Xu had a life-saving grace to Zhao Xiaocai outside Xingyang City that day, and the latter always wanted to find an opportunity to repay him. Seeing that Pei Ju, who was in charge of the government, did not stop him, he immediately had the courage to take the matter down, and took the initiative to suggest that Li Xu prepare more war horses in order to chase and kill the fugitives on the plain.
"This interception of the Turks resulted in the capture of many good horses. They all found someone to hold them outside the city, ready to be released to the eastern capital at any time to deliver! Li Xu first thanked Zhao Xiaocai, and then mentioned it in passing.
"It's good to say, it's good to say, Li Lang will first deduct the share that the Fenyang army needs, so as not to add a lot of expenses to the charge. When we return to the division, you can also take a batch of the remaining military rations and equipment from Yanmen County. The people on the border have just suffered, and I can't bear to ask the magistrate to recruit them to escort supplies! ”
"Thank you Zhao Shangshu, thank you Master Pei, thank you to the emperor!" Li Xu clenched his fists and saluted. He and Li Shimin had won a lot in the battle to intercept and kill Shibi Khan, and they were thinking about how to find an excuse to detain a batch and send it to Henan to solve the urgent needs of the children of Qi County. Now that Zhao Xiaocai has an explanation, he doesn't even have to bother looking for words.
Yang Guang was on the rise, so he didn't care that Zhao Xiaocai opened the back door to Li Xu in front of him. Moreover, when the soldiers of the Great Sui were fighting abroad, it was customary for most of the captured goods to be embezzled by the generals and soldiers. Only those who are honest and self-disciplined like Zhang Xutuo and Li Xu will honestly return all the spoils to the public. At that moment, he told a few more words about the people's feelings that Li Xu needed to observe after he arrived at the place, and told the officials of the household department to make up the military salary of the Fenyang Army as soon as possible, and then make time to commend Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin and others, who had been left to dry for nearly a morning.
Dugu Lin is already an auxiliary general, so his military rank cannot be promoted again. Yang Guang promoted his knighthood to one level, rewarded 500 pieces of silk and satin, and went to the household department to collect it after returning to the Eastern Capital. Li Shimin had the merit of bravely killing the enemy, and he was so good that he liked Yang Guang, so he directly awarded the five-grade light car lieutenant, and still returned to Taiyuan to assist his father Li Yuan. Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin belong to the county soldiers, and their ranks are not different from those of the government soldiers and the border army, so Yang Guang specially gave the two of them a martial cavalry lieutenant and a Xiao cavalry lieutenant. As for the specific position in the local army, it was also promoted by his immediate boss Zhang Xutuo at his discretion.
Qu Tutong is highly qualified, open-minded, good at listening to advice before the war, and not stealing the merits of others after the war. Therefore, Yang Guang promoted him to the general of the town army, plus the rank of pillar. He continued to command the soldiers and horses under his command, and sat in Guanlong and Hexi in two provinces and fifty states. When discussing other people's rewards, Yang Guang hesitated a little. Especially for the soldiers and horses who participated in the defense of Yanmen, he promised in advance that after the Turks retreated, all those who were alive would be awarded a minimum of six rank officials. However, because the Turks retreated early, the survivors of the Imperial Forest Army and the Xiongwu Battalion were added to nearly 15,000 people. This fifteen thousand six-grade officials can't afford to give it even if they dump the Great Sui treasury!
