Li Tai didn't know how many moths the Yuwen family uncle and nephew made last night, so he got up early in the morning and went to the Houjun Military Mansion to deal with military affairs as usual after breakfast.

Soon after he arrived at the military government, an envoy from the Taiwan government came in to announce the order of the great station, asking him to add several questions that were not clearly described in the previous recital, and then go to the Taiwan government to make a statement in person when he was ready.

Although he has not yet been directly appointed by the official position, since Daxingtai has made such a statement, it seems that this matter is also inseparable, and Li Tai is very excited in his heart.

Although it is said that Jingzhou today is still biased towards the Western Wei Dynasty, after all, the name is good, and the Jingzhou Thorn History sounds more powerful than the Suizhou Thorn Shi he served before. What's more, Jingzhou's strategic prospects are broad, he will go to the nest here first, and when the time is ripe, he will not even be protected by the pump!

In addition to his own happiness, Li Tai did not forget to share this joy with his cousin Cui Qian, he still had official business here and could not leave early, so he returned home with his entourage for the time being and told his cousin that he was going to Taiwan to play the right thing.

The new appointment has not yet been issued, and he cannot ignore the military affairs here in the Houjun Military Mansion.

After the defeat in the Heluo War, Yuwentai also deeply felt that the combat effectiveness and training level of the soldiers of the Bafu Mansion were still very obvious compared with the Beizhen Armed Forces, so they gave all the military governments more onerous training tasks, and they will continue to hold a big parade this autumn.

Therefore, in the recent period, the military government has also been very busy. As for the problem that all the armies had fugitives who wanted to serve the rear army, the Governor's Office of the Chinese Army also gave guidance, so all the armies were ordered to send a general to the Rear Army's military mansion.

Therefore, Jiang is still old and spicy, Li Tai returned this trouble to Li Bi, and Li Bi simply called on all the armies to open an office in Beijing in the Houjun Military Government, and in the end, the Houjun Military Government still had to contact these people to deal with it.

In addition to handling daily military affairs, Li Tai also put personnel preparations for going to Jingzhou on his agenda. After all, when the appointment is officially issued, he may have to leave for the post at any time, but there is not much time for him to prepare calmly.

He has more and more personnel under his command today, although he has not yet found such virtuous helpers as Su Suizhi and Yuwentai, but Shi Linghu Yanbao, the head of the Hussar Mansion, also shares a lot of work for him.

Especially during the previous Eastern Crusade, after some run-in between each other, Ling Hu Yanbao was very experienced and experienced in handling military affairs in all aspects such as logistics and baggage, which made Li Tai feel very relaxed. Therefore, he planned to continue to retain Linghu Yanbao, and when he returned from the Eastern Crusade, he asked Linghu Yanbao to add a car to ride and Yitong, and when the official won a big victory over Guazhou and returned to righteousness.

As for the future history of the governor of Jingzhou, Li Tai naturally likes his cousin Cui Qian. Cui Qian has rich administrative experience and is familiar with the situation in Jingzhou, so he is the most suitable candidate for Li Tai.

If there is no Cui Qian's assistance, to be honest, he doesn't have much confidence in governing Jingzhou, after all, he doesn't have too much experience in politics and people, and when he is in northern Shaanxi, he usually encounters disobedient people and does it directly.

Going to Jingzhou is not a simple military operation, and it will inevitably involve a lot of civil affairs, so it is natural to bring a lot of subordinate officials. Pei Hong, Cui Yansheng, Lu Yan, Zhao Yan and others who had stayed in northern Shaanxi before, Li Tai planned to recall them all. There are also a group of clerical talents who are proficient in various skills such as clerical writing, statistics, and calculations cultivated in the manor before, and Li Tai also plans to bring some of them.

As for the generals, of course, they must be more prepared, and maybe one day the battle will start. Not only must he prepare for a war with the Southern Dynasties, but if there are too rebellious and powerful clans in the territory, Li Tai does not intend to show mercy to his subordinates.

Zhu Meng, who is the old genus of He Batsheng, is originally from the Southern Dynasties, so he naturally has to bring it this time. Li Quji, a confidant and family member who is both civil and military, of course, must continue to take it with him for training, in order to be able to take charge of himself as soon as possible.

As for the other generals, such as Gao Le, Liang Shiyan, Shi Jing, He Ruodun, etc., everything that can be brought will naturally be brought. Including Guo Yan, who was in other military offices before, Li Tai was also transferred to his own command. And those obtained by unconventional means like Pi Jinghe, Li Tai also arranged for the military positions of low-level commanders to start appointing.

In addition to these people, there have also been some Pishan prisoners of war who were rescued from Jinyang recently, and now they have been incorporated into the Bafu Zhongjun one after another.

Even if you don't consider the subordinates who are rationed for the ministry, the generals under Li Tai's command who have a little private soldier attribute and can be dispatched at any time are already very impressive. These do not include Li Yantou, Li Zhi, Mao Shijian, Liu Ping, etc., who are still in northern Shaanxi, and Li Yunxin and others who will follow Cui Ji to Beizhou.

After the civil and military personnel team is sorted out, the next most important thing is the materials.

Li Tai went to Jingzhou this time, naturally he would not be as afraid of the nostalgia as his predecessor, and he needed to quickly and effectively integrate the local forces and resources in Jingzhou, and try to build Jingzhou into a large base for troops to go south before the Hou Jing Rebellion broke out completely.

Li Tai has a lot of experience in dealing with local tycoons.

But he also knew that going to Jingzhou was probably more dangerous and difficult than other places, because the Nanyang Basin, where Jingzhou is located, was one of the historical birthplaces of the local tyrants, and Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, and his friends all walked out of this land and then fought for hegemony in the world.

Therefore, since the Han Dynasty, the local tyrants in Nanyang have been one of the most difficult groups in the world. Although the times have changed, the old and the new have alternated, and the heroes and powers in that land have not known how many stubbles have changed, but the folk customs will always be preserved to a certain extent. I am afraid that he has to face not only a group of local tyrants, but also some traditional orders that have a long history in this land.

Moreover, Jingzhou was the border between the two countries, and although the Western Wei Dynasty nominally occupied the other place, it had not yet established an absolute advantage. Those local wealthy families rely on this geography and hope that there will be no shortage of operations on both sides of the head and the left and right, so this pull is also a great test of Li Tai's operational ability.

In any case, when he goes to Jingzhou this time, he will inevitably have a very delicate relationship with the local tyrant forces for a long time, and may not be able to make effective use of local resources, so it is also necessary to be well prepared before leaving.

First of all, it is natural to grain and grass, and now the output of a series of grain processing industries in Luoshui, including Shangyuan, is already very considerable, and a considerable part of the grain hoarded last year has also been converted into grain cakes that are easy to store and transport.

It is impossible for the dignified Kansai grain king to let his troops go hungry, so Li Tai prepared a large amount of transportation capacity to transport food, and the first batch was conservatively estimated to be 10,000 horses for a year.

In addition to grain, another major commodity is hard currency such as cloth. Shohara's output in this area also increased year by year, and it was a unique industry in Kansai, but the result was that the overall industry and productivity of Kansai could not be matched, and the cloth produced could not be exchanged for sufficient goods.

Of course, with Li Tai's various efforts, this situation has not happened, but he also needs to continue to open up new markets. On this trip to Jingzhou, of course, he could not forget this important task.

Especially in the two years before the Hou Jing Rebellion, while the social productivity and production environment in Jiangnan had not been seriously persecuted, it was right to sweep the goods as soon as they were available.

No matter what kind of commodity it is, as long as you can pinch it in your hands in large quantities, whether it is to relieve and appease the people of Jiangnan who were displaced by war persecution, or to make political transactions with the feudal kings of the Xiao family, you can get more than expected returns.

So in the next period of time, Li Tai will not only be the king of grain in Kansai again, but he will also be the first brother in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River who spends money and has a lot of money!

The grain, grass, money and silk are ready, and the other materials don't need to be too tight. After all, when it comes to productivity and production level, the Western Wei Dynasty is the most wasted among the Later Three Kingdoms, as long as there is money, it can be completely prepared after going south.

Therefore, Li Tai only transferred more than 500 ordnance craftsmen from northern Shaanxi to maintain the armed level of his army, and did not prepare too many other materials.

When preparing for these personnel, Li Tai also took his cousin Cui Qian to visit Daxingtai in Taiwan again, and told his thoughts and plans more carefully. And Yuwentai was also very satisfied with their performance, and praised them again and again.

Just when Li Tai thought that the matter had been settled and the appointment was about to be issued in a few days, there was no follow-up for most of the next half a month.

Seeing that the time has entered September, and the personnel and materials he convened have all been in place, but Daxingtai seems to have completely forgotten this stubble, Li Tai can't help but be a little blind: I have all the personnel in place, and I am ready to go, if you stinky black otter fool me, then Lao Tzu will have to clear the monarch's side and remove the tyrant's mansion, otherwise he will not be able to come to the stage!

Just when Li Tai's mood became more and more worried, Li Tun, the general of the Dugu Xin Department, led more than 1,000 elite cavalry from Longyou to return to Huazhou, and came to see Li Taidao: "The lord knows that Lang Jun is going to leave Jingzhou, and he is also deeply gratified in his heart. ”

The day after Li Tun's return, Li Taixin's appointment was also officially issued: the governor of Sanjing, Erguangnan, Yongping, Xinjiang, Sui, Eryingxi, and other thirteen prefectures, and Jingzhou.
