Thousands of miles of travelers, thousands of needles fall snowsuits. The iron armor should be cold, and the straight road should be left with hooves. The mountains cover the night tent, and the sound of fighting is strange. Mo Dao Tianshan is far away, and the western Xinjiang is full of Han flags!

In the autumn of the 13th year of Jingwu, Li Dan, governor of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border, transferred a total of five divisions, including the ninth, tenth, eleventh, fifteenth, and twentieth divisions, and two independent brigades, five cavalry brigades, and four artillery regiments, to Lanzhou and Liangzhou, Gansu, and began his second phase of tasks:

The goal of the Ganqing strategy is to eliminate the entrenched tribal forces in Ganzhou, Suzhou, Haixi, and Shannan, and to realize the county-like transformation of Gansu and Qinghai into counties in the Wula model.

Last year's Zodiac rebellion was quite strong, not only in Shaanxi but also in Gansu, Shanxi, Henan, Hebei, Zhili, Shandong, Hubei, and Shuntian.

However, due to the close cooperation between the Pterodactyl Guard and the Ministry Division, many important leaders were captured in time, so that most of the rebellion lacked organization and cooperation, and was finally broken by each other.

In particular, after several high-ranking people led by the Shaotian Division were beheaded and spread to the first nine provinces, the Liao Army's reorganization of the Eighth Division entered Shandong, and the First and Fourth Divisions entered Hebei and Shuntianfu respectively, the Zodiac Sect members quickly lost their courage, and only a small force remained in various places, and there was no major chaos.

The imperial court immediately issued a pardon decree: within three months, Zodiac believers should go to the township, town, and county inspection departments to make a guarantee.

Former believers who have been exceeded may be pardoned, and those who have served five months to two years of hard labor may be pardoned. Those who refuse to do so will be placed in the custody of their place of residence and restricted from moving, and those who violate the law will be held accountable under criminal law.

After this method was introduced, most of the disciples went to the government to take the lead, and a few who thought they were smart enough to avoid were exposed by their own people from time to time, and the punishment was even heavier!

After organizing a delegation to visit the labor service center/camp in Shaanxi, the political departments of various localities were greatly inspired, and they took back the documents published by Li Dan, such as the "Measures for the Management of the Establishment and Operation of the Shaanxi Road Labor Service Center/Camp" and the "Measures for Joint Ventures and Cooperation in Government-run Projects", and used them in combination with various infrastructure projects in the local area.

The emperor was surprised to learn from the cabinet that the number of people in various localities who had been writing endless letters asking for allotment, maintenance, and new construction had been greatly reduced, and when he investigated the reasons, he learned that many of them had gained a certain degree of autonomy in local finances through contracting or auctioning the right to develop, use, and operate.

He immediately remembered what Li Dan had said in his letter:

"It is necessary for local governments to have some financial autonomy and should be encouraged but not laissez-faire.

It is advisable for the central government, with the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Communications as the leaders, to set up a 'Committee for the Colonization and Supervision of Imperial Assets' under the Zhongshu Province.

Coordinate and arrange government-run engineering projects and trading companies in various places, supervise and promote the distribution and multiplication of imperial assets and capital, assist in the dispatch of funds and materials, and supervise non-compliance in the implementation process.

Once left unchecked, corruption is rampant! ”

The emperor immediately ordered Zhongshu Province to establish this committee structure, transferred Wang Gan as the director of this committee, and replaced him with Chai Jin, the political envoy of Guangdong Province and a scholar of Wenxin Pavilion, as minister of industry and commerce.

Wang Gan himself didn't expect that it was Li Dan who made him the closest to the emperor in the Shangshu.

I heard that Li Dan told the emperor that the reason for his recommendation was that "this person has the height of a politician and the shrewdness of a businessman, and he is cautious and loyal, and can be pragmatic and outstanding in his work."

In fact, Li Dan did this, not only because of his ability, but also because of his connections, long-sleeved style of dancing, and the background of the Langwang family.

When Wang Gan learned of all this, he naturally reciprocated and vigorously agreed with Li Dan's "New Regulations on the Shaanxi and Gansu Household Registration Management System". This system states:

All residents of the Empire who have attained the age of one have the right to apply for the status of family register and obtain a certificate of residence, and their superiors, lords, employers, and elders may not obstruct or prohibit them for any reason, and the offender shall be punished with ten strokes of the whip for contempt of the law and shall be punished with one to five years' hard labor.

The above-mentioned "residents of the empire" refer to those who resided in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area during the date of the promulgation of the decree, who are protected by law after having household registration, enjoy the same treatment as subjects of the empire, and have the same rights and obligations.

The above-mentioned "residents of the Empire" are not limited to their professions, affairs, nationalities, families, and all offenders except those who are executed or convicted along, even slaves and maids who sell themselves.

Within three months from the date of promulgation of this Decree, all localities shall clearly indicate and read the decree to all villages, townships, towns, counties, and governments, and residents may go to the local inspection office/bureau/division to go through the relevant registration procedures, and duplicate registration is invalid.

If a woman is under the age of 12 and a man is under the age of 13, she may collect it on behalf of her parents, adoptive parents, or guardians, and the adoptive parents or guardians shall apply to the county household to provide a certificate, and the household shall have the obligation to inspect and issue a certificate within 15 days.

Individuals should carry their household registration certificates at any time when they go out for inspection, and each family should issue a household registration book for inspection and verification.

Residents who still do not have a household registration certificate after the registration period shall be confined in their residence according to the inspection requirements, and can only go out after obtaining their household registration. Residents traveling should take the household registration certificate to the local household house and the inspection office/bureau/department to apply for the tax payment certificate and receive the road guide respectively.

Finally, it is also specially stipulated that residents of foreign feudal domains and non-Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border should apply for travel permits at all checkpoints and ferries, which have the same validity as road guides.

The above-mentioned persons who have lived in the area for more than three months shall apply for a six-month, one-year, or three-year travel permit at the Inspection Department of the place of residence.

The personal and property safety of the holder of the travel permit shall be protected by the laws of the region, but he shall not buy or sell land or houses, nor shall he engage in rental, finance, military and official undertakings.

This document recognized for the first time the "citizenship rights" of all residents, for the first time to break down the boundaries between men and women, nationalities and non-natalia to grant equal rights to all people, and for the first time put forward the concept of travel documents and resident rights for foreigners.

The reason why Zhao Tuo welcomed it was not only because it was tolerant and tolerant, but also because he knew very well that Li Dan was pointing to cleaning up the hidden population, improving the control of the local government, and laying the groundwork for the next strategy against Ganqing.

In the autumn of the 11th year of Jingwu, Wang Jinlong, the general of the Suzhou garrison, and Tu Geli, the general of the Ganzhou garrison, learned that the people sent to Xi'an had failed to carry out the assassination, and the people had been arrested.

Shang Yijun commanded Gao Maichen to inspect Shandanwei at that time, and was suddenly defeated, leading the troops to defend Yanzhi Mountain, with Shuiquan Fort and Gaogu Castle as strongholds, and the three-legged support each other, which only then did he stand on his feet.

However, only the cities and forts north of Shandanwei were still holding on, and almost all the others were lost or abandoned. Wang Jinlong and Tu Geli originally wanted to support King Su, but King Su closed the palace and did not come out, declaring that if you want to use force, I will kill the whole family to show you.

The two had no choice but to pick up the captured King Gan and build a Yuan Xishou.

What are the two of them going to do Li Dan already knew from the results of the interrogation, due to the weak control of the Ganzhou and Suzhou courts, Wang Jinlong was attacked by the Qiang noble chieftain, and Tu Geli was attacked by the party noble chieftain, both of them were local emperors under the fetter system, and they had the right to soldier.

Li Dan threw a mouse bogey, so he was writing to the emperor to report and ask for instructions, but who knew that the two of them couldn't hold their breath and made the first move, but instead provided Li Dan with an introduction to intervene in Ganqing.

Zhao Tuo first learned that Wang and Tu had sent people to assassinate him, and he was furious. I was handing it over to the Cabinet Division, and I heard that they were in reverse.

There was an uproar in the DPRK, and someone immediately jumped out and said that it was Li Dan who made it and that Li Dan should be removed from his post. This aroused Zhao Tuo's vigilance.

After careful observation and careful analysis, he found that most of the people who expressed their positions were officials from Sichuan, Shu and Jinghu, and not many people from the north and south of the Yangtze River spoke.

Yes, Li Dangang recommended Chai Jin, a native of Zhejiang, and everyone in Jiangnan naturally didn't speak.

At this time, Zheng Shou glanced at him several times, but Han Wei frowned and remained silent, so he had no choice but to step forward and say:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that his colleagues are right. Li Dan is young, and it is inevitable that he will not think well about things, and it is inevitable that such a mess will be caused. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Tuo narrowed his eyes: "How should Zheng Xiang correspond to what he sees?" ”

"The old minister suggested that an important member of the stable state be appointed to go to Shaanxi to replace Li Dan."

"Is there a candidate?"

"The minister recommends that the Jiangxi political secretary Zuo participate in politics Tang Xuan." Zheng Shou peeked at Zhao Tuo, and then continued: "Tang Xuan has experienced the Lou Yang rebellion, and he is not afraid of danger, and he is quite capable of assisting the two political envoys to deal with it calmly. ”

The emperor sounded this person and sneered in his heart: "Oh, it's him." But this man never led troops ....... ”

"The governor is the position of a civilian official to control the military, and it is more important to have a strategy than to know martial arts and lead the army."

The emperor looked at Han Yu: "What is Shoufu's opinion?" ”

Han Wei had communicated with Zheng Shou in advance, but Zheng Shou insisted on using his own candidate and did not agree with Han Wei's nomination of Tao Rong, who was nominated by Han Wei to participate in politics in Sichuan, which made Han Wei very unhappy, he didn't want to follow Zheng Shou's intentions, so he deliberately ignored him.

But the emperor named him and couldn't help but express his position, so he hurriedly bowed down and said: "It's urgent, it's better to transfer from Jiangxi so far away, it's better to send Sichuan Zuo to participate in politics Tao Rong to go, he has dealt with human rebellions, and his experience is better than Tang Xuan." ”

It was quiet all the time. Shoufu has always been the only one who is Zheng Shou Ma, why did he screw his jaw today? The officials of the Jinghu department were stunned and didn't know what to do.

The emperor was very detailed in his heart, knowing that Tao Rong did not like the climate of Sichuan, and had called Han Wei many times, and according to Wing Long Wei, he also gave 300 acres of land and a large area of mountains and forests in his hometown in Hubei to Han Wei's brother-in-law.

He smiled and looked at Zheng Shou again, which means: Who do I listen to you two?

Zheng Shou hurriedly said: "Tang Xuan is young, and it's nothing to work the road. Besides, Lord Zhao, who is a right-hand politician, is very capable, even if Tang Xuan is transferred, Jiangxi's affairs will not be affected much.

However, Sichuan is different, the right participation in politics has not yet been put in place, and the left participation in politics will be transferred away, doesn't that make it difficult for the political envoys? ”

The emperor nodded, looked at Han Wei again, and saw that he immediately said a set of words to refute. After a few rounds of back and forth, Zhao Tuo saw that the heat was almost over, and waved his hand:

"Alright! If you think about this matter again, whether you want to change people or not, your cabinet will also consider it.

However, even if I don't change people, I plan to let Wu Xianzhe return to the dynasty for another appointment, and his left senator is indeed going to be replaced. After this matter is dispersed, please ask Han Qing to come to the back, and I will share it with you carefully. ”

After going down to the court, Han Wei puffed up and went to the Provincial Palace under the leadership of Xia Shu. "What's the matter, Han Aiqing is still angry?" As soon as they met, the emperor asked him with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this old man Zheng is too deceitful! After he retreated from the court, he reprimanded his ministers in front of hundreds of officials, as if he was the first assistant, arrogant and domineering, and unbearable! Han Wei huffed, sat down, and his chest was still visibly heaving.

"What's the matter, the two of you are making trouble, have you reached the point where you want to make trouble outside the palace?"

Han Wei was taken aback and hurriedly got up: "The old minister is rude and confused, please punish Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Tuo put down the bowl in his hand with a "bang" sound, if Li Dan was present, he would definitely be distressed and bared his teeth. "You two used to be good enough to wear a pair of pants, what's wrong today? Did he think that Tao Rong's paddy fields and mountains and forests were not given to him? ”

"Your Majesty forgives your sins!" Han Wei couldn't stand still and knelt on the ground, prostrate, his body trembling slightly: "The minister, the minister also learned about this matter later...... Ministers who are not strict in disciplining their families are guilty! ”

"That's it!" Zhao Tuo walked up to him with his hands behind his back: "The so-called 'Isn't it a prince', I allowed you to stretch out your hand, if not, I would have let you hand it over a long time ago." Aiqing understands? ”

Han Wei sweated on his neck, explained in a trembling voice, and said that he was old and confused, and resigned. Zhao Tuo sneered: "Did I ever ask you to resign?" Neither does it mean that you resign? Han Wei didn't dare to take the next words, so he only kowtowed.

Zhao Tuo thought to himself that Li Sanlang commented that this person was swaying from side to side and his ears were soft, it seemed that he was indeed not a good material for Shoufu, but he was still useful, so let's do it first.

Thinking of this, he ordered Xia Shu to pull him up and sit down, and then sat down himself, and said, "Listen to your tone, you have a lot of opinions about Zheng Shou?" Why is that? Is there anything wrong with him? ”

This sentence reminded Han Wei, and he immediately seized the opportunity: "This person is also a traitor, and the minister has known it for a long time, and he has been on guard. After speaking, he told some of the things he knew about Zheng Shou's lawlessness, bribery, and power.

Some emperors knew, some he didn't, and he was surprised that he didn't show it on the surface, and asked:

"These things can't escape the ears of the pterodactyl guard, Qing thinks that this can shake my trust in Zheng Qing? I've tolerated him so far, don't you think I haven't heard what I've said to you? ”

Han Wei thought about it, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is generous and generous, comparable to the Han Wu Tang Sect." However, ......, the minister has just learned some terrifying things recently, and I'm afraid that even the Wing Dragon Guard may not know.

It is precisely because of hearing these that Chen is now deliberately estranged from him Zheng Tonglan, which is also a meaning of gradually drawing a clear line. Ignorance...... Would Your Majesty want to hear it? ”

"Oh? What is it that separates me? Tell me about it. ”

So Han Wei told Zheng Shou that he had been in contact with the woman in Goollan, and asked the woman to come to him to talk to him, and he later learned that the woman was a Kerco spy.

Seeing that the emperor was suspicious, he told the emperor that Zheng Shou also had dealings with King Teng, and that he had also sheltered the head of the Hou sect who had assassinated King Ding and Princess Miyun in Beijing, and that Zheng Shourong had kept the Zodiac people and had a hot fight with the high-level of the Jingzhong Sect.

The emperor's face became more and more gloomy: "Since Qing knows about this, why didn't he report it?" ”

"The minister and Zheng Shou are fellow villagers, and they are also officials recommended by the former King Xiang, so they are jealous. The minister knows his mistake, please forgive His Majesty! ”

Han Wei knew that he had not been sitting in the position of the first assistant for a long time, but he was ruthless to pull Zheng Shou down, and he must not let him get this position after him!

Soon after the Zodiac incident, Liu Mu, the commander of the Wing Loong Guard, reported to the emperor evidence of the collusion between King Teng and individual ministers with the Kercas and the Zodiac Sect. A lot of evidence points to Zheng Shou.

The emperor also heard from Li Dan that Zheng Shou had an intersection with King Teng. After sending Han Wei away, he has been wandering alone in the main hall, there is only one Xia Shu by his side, and he feels that he is fighting alone and does not even have anyone to consult.

Huh! At this time, I really want to transfer Li Sanlang back. But he knew that the Shaanxi-Gansu trilogy had only completed the first step, and at this time, Li Dan was transferred back to the dynasty, and the pot of rice in the west would be sandwiched. He held back.

A few days later, at the court meeting, Zheng Shou was the first to speak, not only criticizing Li Dan's strategy, but also believing that Shoufu should be held responsible.

In front of the various ministers present, he openly asked Shousuke to resign and go into the wilderness, but he didn't notice that the emperor's face was as gloomy as a dark cloud before the rain, almost dripping water.

After he finished speaking with great interest, several imperial historians from Huguang immediately picked up and began to perform the drama of impeachment. Han Wei trembled with anger, and the ministers were stunned again.

The Emperor sighed secretly, he felt that he could no longer let this ugly drama continue, nor could he let the court split into different camps to fight each other. He motioned to the palace to maintain order, and then asked Xia Shu to take out a few wills to read.

The first decree affirmed Li Dan's merits and role, and passed on the decree to confer on him the scholar of Wenxin Pavilion and the young master of the crown prince, and awarded the title of General of Fengguo, and acted as the left political officer of Shaanxi, and the right army of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the rest of his post remained unchanged.

The second decree was to split the original Shaanxi Provincial Administration Department and the Xingdu Division, and set up three new administrative divisions in Gansu, Qinghai and Ningxia. The former Shaanxi Right Counselor Palace worked diligently and was the political envoy of Gansu.

The original Ningxia town was changed to Yinchuan Mansion, which was the administrative office of Ningxia Buzheng Division, and the first political envoy was Lang Yuankai, the right attendant of the military department. Bingguang, the former Guizhou right political participant, was transferred to Qinghai as a political envoy.

The third decree was to split the two Guangxi as the two political envoys of Guangdong and Guangxi, and He Bing, who was originally a political envoy of Guangxi and Guangxi.

In the fourth order, Tang Xuan was dismissed from the post of Jiangxi Zuo's political participation and returned to Beijing to report on his work.

The fifth will made Zheng Shou's mind "buzz" blank. The emperor used his recent poor health as an excuse to allow him to temporarily leave the court and return home to recuperate.

The first three decrees not only gave Li Dan a higher status and honor, but also made him the supreme person in charge of the four northwestern provinces, and at the same time fully adopted his suggestion to use the two provinces as a pilot for splitting.

The latter two wills sent Zheng Shou into the cold palace, and even erased Tang Xuan inexplicably. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why.

The most terrifying thing is that after the scattered dynasty, several pterodactyl guards suddenly appeared behind Zheng Shou, surrounded and didn't know what to say to him, Zheng Shou suddenly pushed them away and wanted to turn back, but they were set up by those captains and walked in the opposite direction.

In front of everyone's eyes, they went out of the left silver gate, stuffed him into a carriage, and went east out of the left gate of Sogo. That's in the direction of the Division.
