'He has never made a mistake since he joined my command for ten years, and he is a simple man who can be reused. ’

'Di Gan is an upright and humble husband, and you can fully trust him and her husband (Hu Lujin). ’

Gao Huan's dying teachings, the words are still in his ears, and Gao Cheng dare not forget them.

After all, He Liuhun's level of fighting is not good, but his vision for people is very clever.

Gao Cheng sent He Baren and Gao Guiyan to Dingzhou to take up their posts, and waited for his uncle Wei Digan, who was appointed as the governor of the water division.

If Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty sighed that 'there are many good ministers in the south of the Yangtze River', combined with the deeds of the Southern Dynasty who repeatedly killed the lord with his ministers, it is quite ironic, then the Gao family is a good minister, it is worthy of the name, at least in the Gao Huan and Gao Cheng dynasties, it definitely deserves such praise.

"Northern Qi Book, Volume 50, Lie Biography 42, Grace" records: "Gaozu (Gao Huan), Shizong (Gao Cheng), love and government, civil and military affairs, many chaste ministers, only Guo Xiu villain, tired Mingde. ’

That is, Gao Huan and the original owner are mostly loyal and capable ministers, and only Guo Xiu is a villain, which damages their morality.

After Gao Huan's death, Guo Xiu became the only former king's former official who was alienated by Gao Cheng, the king of Qi, but he was already sick and didn't have a few years to live, and now he is in a state of idleness waiting for death.

And the honest and thrifty, resolute and obedient Xianbei husband Wei Digan is undoubtedly one of the ministers of the vast chastity.

Di Gan received Gao Cheng's order to let him serve as the Governor of the Water Division, responsible for compiling and commanding 50,000 Water Divisions, and replaced others, so he was naturally overjoyed to accept it, lest Gao Cheng change his mind.

However, although he set off for Luoyang, he was ready to resign from this appointment.

"The lower officials are mediocre, although they can swim, but they don't know water warfare, for fear of disappointing the king, they dare not take on this important responsibility, and ask the king to take back his life."

Di Gan didn't have time to settle down the family scroll, so he went straight to Zhongshu Province to pay respects, and said earnestly.

King Xiao Gao can let his uncle and aunt live separately, after all, his uncle can still find a concubine outside, but it is impossible to let his aunt stay alone in the empty boudoir.

Faced with Di Gan's excuse, Gao Cheng chuckled and said:

"Uncle doesn't need to worry too much, Cheng also knows that his uncle is a land tiger, not an underwater dragon.

"Today, most of the governors of the water division will pay each other, but they are those who can accept this appointment, and only my uncle can make Cheng feel at ease.

"Cheng has already selected a number of governors for his uncle, and he can leave the affairs to them for him, and his uncle only needs to grasp the water master for Cheng, and please don't excuse my uncle."

When it comes to this, no matter how unwilling Di Gan is to be the governor of this water division, he has to bite the bullet and go ahead.

After all, 50,000 water masters are training in Yin Shui and Luoshui around Luoyang, and on the side of the couch, if it is not for someone close to him to be in charge, the King of Qi, who spares his life, will not even be able to sleep soundly.

On the fourth day of the third month of the tenth year of Taichang (541), Gao Cheng, the king of Qi, officially went to the emperor and asked the soldiers of Sanhe, that is, Henan, Hebei and Hedong, to select 50,000 soldiers and build a new water division.

Yuan Shanjian immediately approved it, and ordered the former Dingzhou Assassin Shi Di Gan to be appointed as the governor of the water division, and was fully responsible for the training of the water division.

At the same time, the decree on the selection of soldiers was issued by the Zhongshu Province to all parts of the three rivers, and all the soldiers who knew how to water enthusiastically signed up.

This enthusiasm is not without reason, just because the water division belongs to the middle army, and the state and county soldiers who belong to the foreign army naturally have to firmly grasp it, after all, everyone feels that if it weren't for the fact that most of those Xianbei soldiers don't know water, such a good thing to improve their treatment is really not their turn.

In fact, everyone is wrong about this, even if the Xianbei soldiers know water, Gao Cheng will use the Han people to build a water division.

Before the decline of Xianbei in the six towns, it was impossible for Gao Cheng to absorb the children of the Han nationality in the infantry cavalry.

In the original time and space, the reason why Yuwentai opened the door of the army to the Han people was also because after the Battle of Bishan, the Xianbei military force almost disappeared.

Now that there are more than 250,000 infantry cavalry soldiers under the command of the Gao clan, there is no need and no power to expand the land armament, so the newly built naval division is the main way to enhance the discourse power of the Han people.

Although in ancient times, the influence of sailors was far less than that of land foot riding, but it is better to have than nothing.

Gao Cheng knows better than anyone that if the military force is always dominated by Hu soldiers of various ethnic groups such as Xianbei, then Sinicization is just a castle in the air.

At present, it only occupies the northern land, and the more than 250,000 foot cavalry is a little bloated, but when the Jiangnan and Shu regions are captured, the expansion of the army is naturally logical, and the main body of the expansion of the army must be dominated by the Han army.

Gao Cheng gradually narrowed the difference between the Xianbei and the Han people in the six towns in Henan through the way of Han and Hu mixed residences, and at the same time slowly increased the proportion of Han people in the army.

However, although the idea is good, but the two types of people with different customs live together, contradictions naturally occur from time to time, while recuperating and recuperating, alleviating the contradictions between the two parties will be Gao Cheng's most important task in the next few years.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but as long as you get through this difficulty, there will be a smooth road ahead.

In order to alleviate the contradictions, Gao Cheng treated the relocated people of the six towns kindly, such as exempting them from taxes for five years, and also asked the governors of Si, Shaanxi, Guangzhou, and Liang to be fair and impartial in dealing with Hanhu disputes in ordinary ways.

Although the Xianbei people of the Six Towns are the foundation of the Gao clan, the Han people have been the owners of this land since ancient times, and they account for the vast majority of the population.

In ancient times, a regime that went against the interests of the vast majority of the population was destined to not go far.

Xianbei, the six towns that followed Gao's entrepreneurship, will also fall in the future, after all, the fathers are fighting on the battlefield and working hard, the starting point is to let their children and grandchildren enjoy happiness.

In any case, the Han people, or the Han people after the great integration of ethnic groups, are the main force that will support the political power in the future.

Nowadays, most of the households in the six towns are gathered under the rule of Chen Yuankang, Sima Xiaonan, Zhang Ziqi, and Zhao Yanshen, and Gao Cheng will always pay attention to them and his subordinate county guards, and the specific practices in dealing with Hu-Han disputes.

He has already made it clear to the four of them about the severity of the matter, after all, they are all his cronies, and he can't do that without telling him.

And as Gao Cheng's henchmen, they don't need to look at the faces of others, even if someone in the Xianbei household moves out of a certain general, they can't suppress the four of them in terms of power.

They know how much Gao Cheng attaches importance to alleviating national contradictions, and they don't dare to protect each other and use power for personal gain.

After all, everyone has a bright future, and they will inevitably be in a high position in the temple, and the bright future is close at hand, no one wants to be planted in this matter, even Chen Yuankang, who often accepts bribes, has also restrained his greed.

When the sailors were selected and the ethnic disputes were actively handled with the officials of the four states, the envoys of the Southern Liang also returned to Jiankang with the price offered by Gao Cheng.

The soldiers' mud legs and war horses could not be ransomed, but the news that Xiao Ji and the lieutenant colonel could be released still made Xiao Yan and the Duke of Jiankang feel uplifted.

Since He Liuhun only ordered 3,000 pieces of silk cloth for Xiao Ji, it was impossible for the rest of the governors to exceed, or even reach this price, otherwise even if the family really had this money, no one would dare to take it to redeem.

Why, Xiao Ji is only worth 3,000 horses, are you more noble than the prince of Daliang?

Therefore, except for Xiao Jiming, who marked the price of 3,000 horses, the rest of the officers below the rank of general were more than 300 people, and they were divided into 100 to 2,500 horses according to their positions.

Among the 50,000 Shu soldiers and the Yang Yaren army, it is not difficult to select more than 300 generals and officers.

But Xiao Yan is destined to only take money from the treasury for his son, and the rest of the generals will be ransomed by their families.

Those children of the big clan, the family can naturally take it out, but if the lion really opens his mouth, the families of the low-level officers may not be redeemed.

Soon, according to the list of captives provided by Gao Cheng, after Jiankang raised the ransom, the Liang envoy went north to Luoyang again, and after some bargaining with Cui Jishu, the head of the household department, finally packed Xiao Ji and more than 300 officers and took away at the price of 50,000 silk cloth.

Among them, Lan Jing, the son of Lan Qin, the general of Southern Liang, who had just fled back to Jiankang, contributed 2,500 silk cloth to the king of Great Wei Qi with his own strength.

Gao Cheng specially sent a Xianbei cavalry to escort the captives to the border between Yuzhou and Southern Liang, and Shi Yaoxiong, the assassin of Yuzhou, presided over the delivery on behalf of the Yuan and Wei sides.

One side handed over the cloth, and after the counting, the other party returned the people, Gao Cheng naturally couldn't wait to take the 50,000 pieces of cloth, Xiao Yan was also worried that his most valued son would have an accident, so this time the prisoner exchange between Liang and Wei went very smoothly, and Yaoxiong even smiled at Lan Qin, who presided over the prisoner handover on the Southern Liang side:

"In the future, if you live in Jiangnan and are bored, even if you go north to the Central Plains."

Apparently deliberately treating this as a long-term deal, Lanchin blackened his face on the spot.

Although he is in a high position, but in order to redeem his son, the price of 2500 horses really made him feel distressed for a long time, at this time, in the face of Yao Xiong's words, it can be regarded as Lan Qin's self-cultivation, and he is in a hurry to send Xiao Ji back, and he is impulsive in changing his personality, but he is afraid that he will have a battle with Yao Xiong immediately.

The Xianbei cavalry all brought back 50,000 pieces of cloth, but what entered was not the treasury, but the inner treasury of the Qi Palace.

"The person was arrested by the father and son of the King of Qi, and the ransom was also sent by the King of Qi to talk to me, why can't it be placed in the Mansion of the King of Qi!

"Besides, King Qi is not a person who fills his pockets, so it's not the same wherever he puts it.

"When the treasury is in urgent use, and the king of Qi is not a stingy person, let the Son of Heaven make an IOU to the king of Qi, and wait for the Son of Heaven to take the throne in the future, and repay the taxes of his fiefdom."

The above remarks came from what Cui Jishu, the secretary of the household department, said when he was chatting with friends, which made people have to sigh how loyal and patriotic the party of King Qi is.

It is said that after hearing these words, the Yuan Wei clan kowtowed to the ancestral tablet and cried:

"The party of high thieves, now they don't even pretend, the ancestors and the ancestors, they are already coveting the fiefdom tax after His Majesty's concession, this one hundred and fifty-six years of the Great Wei Dynasty is going to die!"
