Chapter 138: Flying Thoughts (I)
On the first day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar in the eighth year of Xiande, inside the gate of the Beiping Military Festival, although Xu Xinsheng, who had fulfilled his wish, did not sleep well last night because of his excitement, the excitement of getting his wish made him look energetic at this time, and he did not look like he was lacking sleep at all. Beside him, Zhao Anyi, who also fulfilled his wish, although he still had a hangover fatigue on his face, he did not look sluggish, but greeted and communicated with Wang Kunjun and others who saw him off with the enthusiasm of his companions. For a time, the atmosphere inside the gate of Jiedu Mansion was very warm. Everyone stood in the gate and chatted for a while, Zhao Anyi and Xu Xinsheng said goodbye to Wang Kunjun and others, and went out of the gate of Jiedu Mansion with the blessing of the other party's smooth sailing, accompanied by Jia Run'an, and went straight to the Kaiyang Gate in the south of Beiping City.
Although an enlarged meeting of the committee was to be held that morning, Jia Runan still insisted on giving his brother a ride. With Wang Kunjun's announcement on behalf of the committee last night that Xu Xinsheng would be accepted to join the crossing team, he had been worried that his brother would either lose the opportunity to join the team because he could not complete the tasks assigned by the crossing team, or because he was not secret, his undercover identity was discovered by the Zhao Group, and the stone that had been hanging in Jia Run's peace of mind finally fell to the ground. If it weren't for the fact that Xu Xinsheng still had very important work to do, Jia Run'an would definitely propose to Wang Kunjun that Xu Xinsheng stay in Beiping at the same time that Wang Kunjun announced that he would accept his brother into the team, and would definitely try his best to persuade Xu Xinsheng to accept his suggestion. Now, since it is impossible to keep his brother by his side, even if there is an urgent matter, Jia Runan will not give up the opportunity to give his brother a ride.
Although Jia Run'an has repeatedly said that he wants to send his brother out of the city for ten miles, how can Xu Xinsheng, who knew that the crossing team would hold an important enlarged committee meeting this morning, be willing to let his brother abolish his public for personal reasons. So, after opening the Yang Gate, Xu Xinsheng strongly persuaded his brother not to send it again, and it was important to go back to work. Although Jia Run'an was unwilling, at the behest of his brother, he still stopped less than two miles from the city. After admonishing each other and cherishing each other, the two brothers finally said goodbye in tears.
At the beginning of the morning, the enlarged meeting of the committee was officially held in the conference room of the Dufu Prefecture on the Military Festival in Beiping. There was only one item on the agenda of the meeting, that is, to discuss and vote on the plan for the readjustment of administrative divisions and military defense areas within the jurisdiction of the Peiping Army. Although the committee had already had a lot of communication with the brothers in the congregation before the meeting, due to the wide range of adjustments involved and the importance involved, the meeting did not go as smoothly as Wang Kunjun and other committee members imagined. During this time, there were very lively discussions with the brothers in the congregation, and even heated arguments on some key issues, so that the meeting lasted nearly six hours, from the beginning of the day (9 a.m.) to the end of the day (3 p.m.), during which it took less than half an hour to have a very simple lunch.
Because the readjustment of the military defense zone has expanded the jurisdiction of the chief military officer and strengthened the military liliang under the direct control of the chief military officer, the generals not only have no opinion on the readjustment of the defense area, but on the contrary, they raise their hands in favor of it. Even generals like Qian Yuanshan and Wang Feng, who had been dismissed from their posts as commanders-in-chief, did not have any complaints -- the Beiping Army was about to move south, and as generals who were full-time foreign wars, Qian Yuanshan and Wang Feng had no choice but to lead their troops to Kaifeng. For a military general, leading the army to fight in all directions, expanding the territory, and making contributions is the most desirable and most suitable position, which is far more attractive than sticking to one place and not being alarmed. What's more, the exploits of military generals have always come from the battlefield. Generals who conquer the Quartet are far more likely to receive meritorious service and become famous than generals stationed in cities, especially when they have no strong foreign enemies and no pressure to defend their territory.
In fact, at this enlarged meeting of the committee, it was the civil servants who were in charge of civil affairs who had the most objections and grievances to the adjustment plan. Or to be more precise, the most intense reaction at the meeting was the former prefect of Lingxian Mansion and the current prefect of Jinzhou Prefecture Song Feiyang.
In the eyes of the brothers, Seinfeld has always been reckless and self-conscious, and rarely fights with others for positions and rights. This time, for the sake of a horizontal transfer -- in fact, the jurisdiction is much larger than before -- and so unyielding, and not even giving face to the seventh brother Zhang Weixin, who is in charge of the Ministry of Political Affairs, is really a bit unexpected to everyone.
In fact, the reason why Seinfeld was so angry this time was not for the sake of fighting for power and profit, but because he was really bitter. First, although the new Jinzhou Mansion is more than its original Lingxian Mansion, both in terms of land area and the number of prefectures and counties, as part of Zhongjing Road, the main non-Han settlement area of the former Liao State, the population under the jurisdiction of the new Jinzhou Mansion is far less than that of the original Lingxian Mansion. In addition, this northern expedition caused a large number of Khitan nobles and ordinary people to flee, so that the population under the jurisdiction of Jinzhou Mansion is estimated to be less than sixty percent of the population of the original Lingxian Mansion - although this is only a rough count at this stage, it should not be much different from the actual number, and the situation of insufficient population in Jinzhou Mansion is only afraid that it will be difficult to change in the short term. As a civil affairs chief, the land and population under his jurisdiction are the most important resources under his jurisdiction, and the number of people under his rule has suddenly decreased by forty percent compared with the original, so it is no wonder that Song Feiyang has an idea.
Second, after Song Feiyang's governance in the past two years, although Lingxian Mansion does not dare to say that it is second to none among the six prefectures (eight prefectures) of the Beiping Army, it also relies on its advantage that it is the only way for the Beiping Army to communicate with the northwest region and send important strategic materials to the east, and it is not lagging behind in the comparison with the brother mansions. Now, the work of all aspects of the Lingxian Mansion is thriving, and the future is promising, but it was suddenly abolished. In the blink of an eye, his hard work and dedication in the past two years have become other people's bags and made wedding clothes for others, but he was sent to Jinzhou Mansion, a place that has just experienced war, people's hearts are unstable, and people's livelihood is withering. In addition, Jinzhou is connected to the Khitan Tokyo Road to the east. Although the Khitan people have been greatly injured after the blows of the crossing team in the past two years, and their strength is not as good as before, this does not mean that the other party will be willing to fail and sink down. Especially in the case that Mutel will go to the Khitan territory every once in a while to "fight the grass valley", the other party may not send troops west to harass Jinzhou Mansion "with the way of others and the body of others". When the time comes, the border is restless, the economy is sluggish, the people under his rule cannot live and work in peace and contentment, and Jinzhou Mansion cannot recover and develop as soon as possible. Therefore, it is inevitable that Seinfeld will be dissatisfied with this adjustment of administrative divisions.
