Chapter 125 Taking over Yanmen County
On August 5, 187 A.D., in front of the Yin Pavilion and Taishou Mansion of Yanmen County.
"Who are you and what are you going to do?" The guards in front of the yamen were a little nervous when they saw Ye Teng with a large number of troops.
"Presumptuous! This is the Taishou of Yanmen County, personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, and he came to take up his post today! Cai Hui looked at the unobtrusive catch and couldn't help but roar.
"Then, I'll report it."
"Yes." Ye Teng felt that it was not in line with the rules of officialdom to break in directly, so he decided to wait at the door for a while.
Unfortunately, sometimes you respect others, but they don't necessarily take you seriously.
At the same time, in the county guard's mansion, the guard just now was reporting to the current supreme governor in the yamen, the county prince Wang Rui.
"Lord Wang, there is a person at the door who claims to be the new Taishou of Yanmen County to visit."
"What Yanmen County is too shou, why don't I know." Wang Rui replied.
"That's it, a little kid who hasn't grown up even his hair dares to come here to take office." Clerk A coaxed.
"Sooner or later, I'll have to squeeze him out." Clerk B agreed.
"If you are interested, you can also let him have a name." Clerk C came up with an idea.
"The world of my Han dynasty is ruled by the royal family and the family, when will it be the turn of an unknown stranger to live in the post of Taishou?" The clerk Ding's face was full of disdain.
……
For a while, the scene was a bit noisy, and the soldiers who came in to report were a little overwhelmed, and they couldn't go, and they didn't go.
"Okay, all of you, let that stranger wait outside for a while." Wang Rui made a decision, and then turned his head to look at the soldier who came in just now to report: "You just wait here, and then go out in ten minutes to let him in." ”
"No!" The soldier had no choice but to stand aside respectfully and wait.
After five minutes, no one came out to greet them, nor did they see the soldiers who had just gone in to report the news come out to let them in.
Ye Teng made a look, Cai Hui waved his hand, and the 3,000 backing troops not far behind him immediately rushed up and directly disarmed all the guards, servants, and arresters.
Ye Teng took Chen Gong and the others and directly followed the back of the Wei Army.
Walk through the gate, bypass the shadow wall, and walk through the quiet and elegant garden path, full of verdant flowers and plants, and the corridor is quiet and beautiful. After walking for more than a minute, Cai Hui took the lead in pushing open the gate and saw that in the spacious hall of nearly 1,000 square meters, there were dozens of officials who were managing and talking with each other. The soldier who had just gone in to report was standing with his head bowed to the side.
Seeing that there was really a stunned young man who dared to break in directly, a young scribe closest to the gate shouted loudly: "What are you doing, what are you going to do, and you don't talk about the rules?" ”
"Rules? Which rules are you talking about? Which family has the rules of which surname can keep Shangguan out of the door, but you subordinate Cao officials sit in the yamen to drink tea and chat? Ye Teng happened to step into the door and replied casually.
Seeing Ye Teng dressed in the costume of Tuxin Taishou, the scene settled down. Ye Teng continued:
"Today, I'm going to tell you about my rules.
"From now on, Yanmen County will be under the rule of my Ye Teng, and I can only abide by the laws of the Han Dynasty and the rules of my Ye Teng, not the rules of anyone else.
"I know that among you, there are those who are honest and diligent in their political affairs, and many more are corrupt officials or puppets of families who only care about the interests of the family;
"My rules are very simple, those who are willing to be honest and honest, loyal to the Han court, and my Ye Teng, and do their best for the people of Yanmen County, stay. Those who only think about personal interests and family interests in their hearts, get out!
"As for those who were corrupt and perverted the law before, and those who want to take advantage of the chaotic moment of the handover of the former and former Taishou, please spit out what you ate before, please keep what you have fished on your body, and then get out. If there are any more people who are not interested, I can let you try my knife sharpness! ”
After speaking, Ye Teng murderously pulled out his waist knife and cut the table into two sections with one knife. Then command in a loud voice; "Come on, take care of everyone in the Taishou Mansion, and let the public take the lead in examining these officials."
As soon as the words fell, the wolf-like backs pounced on all the officials and took them into custody.
After saying that, he strode towards the stone monument of the county town, and placed the Taishou seal letter in the square groove in front of the stone monument, and it was really tightly fitted. At this time, the white light lit up, and the green upgrade button, yellow martial law button, and red war button appeared on the stone tablet.
Ye Teng did not hesitate to press the yellow martial law button, and set the authority of the teleportation array to temporarily allow only a few important backbones of Tianma City to pass, and all post stations were closed.
Turned to look at Cai Hui: "Chengye, in addition to leaving 500 Beiwei troops to assist Gongtai in Taishou Mansion, you take the rest of the army and take over the military camp and control the defense of the whole city in the name of the governor of Yanmen County!" ”
"No!" Cai Hui replied loudly, and then led the troops away.
Ye Teng turned around and saluted Chen Gong: "Gongtai, please leave it to you here." ”
"I will live up to the trust of the lord!" Chen Gong bowed and replied.
At the same time, the civil and military officials of Tianma City, in the same way, with lightning speed, imposed martial law and controlled the officials and armed forces of the other eleven county towns, and poured out the civil and military strength of Tianma City, and began to sort out the personnel, military, government affairs, people's livelihood, and economy of the entire Yanmen County in full swing.
Governing the government first governs the officials. The first priority after taking over the city is naturally the sorting out of personnel.
In line with the principle of preferring shortage to abundance, sorting out the inherent officials of Yanmen County, the forces of Tianma City adopted the principle of cleaning drawers - first open all the drawers, pour all the things on the ground, and then pick up some that can really be used and put them back, and throw away the rest!
This is the most feasible method that Ye Teng and Chen Gong felt after careful discussion before the military management meeting.
Ye Teng knew in his heart that the bureaucratic system of the Han Dynasty, especially the local bureaucratic system, and even the small officials were basically from the family, or took refuge in the family, for outsiders like Ye Teng, it was simply impossible to penetrate the needle and splash the water.
This is also the most important reason why Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others will soon be able to cross states and counties as soon as they leave Luoyang. They did not rely on the imperial decree or military power to deter, Yuan Shao's power soon spread throughout the four prefectures of Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Qingzhou, while Yuan Shu crisscrossed the entire territory of Yuzhou, most of Yangzhou, and part of Jingzhou.
Similarly, Liu Biao entered Jingzhou and soon became the lord of Jingzhou, not because of his extraordinary talent, let alone because of his royal spirit, but because of the influence of the imperial court at that time and his identity as a member of the Han family, the result of a compromise with the Cai family, the Kuai family, the Huang family and other families.
The sequelae are not without sequelae, as the Han court is declining, and Liu Biao's own body is weakening, and finally died, the Cai family, the Kuai family and other families gradually completely mastered Jingzhou, and Liu Qi and Liu Cong became puppets without resistance.
