Chapter 79: Changes in merging states ([-])
Liu Han chose to develop in Bingzhou after careful consideration. Bingzhou had a very low presence in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty. There are two main reasons. First, Bingzhou was a border state. During the late Han Dynasty, Bingzhou was basically occupied by the Huns and Karasuma, and there were powerless factions in the Central Plains. Therefore, in order to protect the Han family from being massacred by foreigners, they planned to re-establish a strong army in Bingzhou to resist the foreigners.
Secondly, Bingzhou has a special terrain and is relatively closed to the outside world. There are not as many nobles as outside, and there are not so many ministers with authority in the center. Even if you find a reason to destroy them, you can control the fight between the powerful nobles in a small area and not involve more. Above, even if you accidentally get involved, you can still control it.
The third is that as long as Bingzhou is completely controlled, there will be cavalry horse farms and rich salt and iron mines, Yanmen Daihai Salt Mine, Loufan Salt Mine, Shuofang Tushen Salt Mine, Guangmu Salt Mine, Qing Yanze, etc. Wuyuan Xianyang Salt Mine, Taiyuan Zhaoyuze Salt Mine and Iron Mine, two salt mines in Xihe County and two salt mines in Shangjun.
We must find a way to keep this kind of strategic material in our own hands, but now except for the salt mines in the five northern counties, the salt and iron in the four southern counties are not there.
In Shangdang County, there are the Chen family of the Huan family, whose family is a border general; the Bao family of Tunliu, who has the title of three princes and two thousand shi; the Shentu family of Tunliu, or the Shen family, the Cui family of Tunliu; Although the Dī Li family was from a border state, once they got close to the Central Plains, the number of nobles instantly increased.
Taiyuan County is no exception. Although it is true that the Jinyang Wang family and the Yangqu Guo family have taken refuge with him, there are also the Qixian Wang family, the Qixian Wen family, the Jiexiu Jia family, the Taiyuan Xun (Xun) family, and the Taiyuan Linghu family. The rare and powerful surnames include the Sun family (Sun Zi), the Hao family (Hao Zhao), the Jin family, the Bo family, the Ji family, the Chang family, the Li family, the Ju family, the Jing family, and the Yao family in Zhongdu.
Shangjun is dominated by other local tycoons, mainly the Yin family of Dingyang.
The problem that Xihe County needs to solve is the powerful ones, and the main problem is the Southern Huns.
"Senior Brother Zheng Yi, Dingxiang County is temporarily handed over to you. It is estimated that there will be no war in Dingxiang this year, and 3000 people are enough."
"Don't worry, my lord."
"Okay, Zheng Yi, let me appoint you as the prefect of Dingxiang! General Yan Xing."
"Here!"×2 "Yanmen Prefect Tian Feng and general Xu Huang led eight thousand troops to guard Yanmen."
"Here!"×2 "Guo Yao, the governor of Wuyuan, and Cheng Pu, the general, led an army of four thousand to guard Wuyuan."
"Here!"×2 "The prefect of Yunzhong has tentatively appointed Huang Zhong and the general Huang Zhong to lead an army of four thousand to train the new army in Yunzhong!"
"Here!"
"Wang Ze, the prefect of Shuofang, and Han Dang, the general, led an army of four thousand to guard Shuofang."
"Here!"×2 "The prefect of Shangjun is tentatively named Xu Rong, and the commander-in-chief is Xu Rong. He will lead an army of three thousand to guard Shangjun!"
"Here!"
"Shangdang Governor Dong Zhao and General Wang Rou led an army of four thousand to guard Shangdang."
"Here!"×2 "Finally, as the governor of Bingzhou, I am temporarily the governor of Taiyuan County. I am not the governor of Jushou, and I am engaged in drama and loyalty. The chief general is Zhang He, the deputy general is Gao Shun, and the army is [-]."
"Here!"×4 "This time, the Duke and I came from Hejian, as well as four hundred scholars who have been studying in Hejian. They are poor students who I spent ten years supporting. They have a very clean background. Although there are not many people, they are all It's a treasure. As the place gets bigger, more people are needed to help manage it. Therefore, you select 300 people from them. Whether they are to assist the government or join the army, there is only one requirement. This year, we must control Bingzhou. "
"No!"×N All the civil and military officers who received the appointment were ordered to sing.
"The remaining 100 people stay in Taiyuan to assist us in handling government affairs and managing the place." Liu Han looked at everyone and continued, "Gongyou, from now on, you should not return to Luoyang. Stay in Bingzhou and manage business for me. "Here."
"Zizhong, I know that the Mi family has a great business and developed trade routes. I need to put more effort into this matter. Not only the property in my name, but also salt and iron, must be exchanged for food, population, craftsmen, armor, and weapons. , arrows and other things Bingzhou needs."
"Here!"
"As for war horses, Shiping and Ziou are most familiar with them. Although 15 Xianbei war horses were captured in this battle and [-] war horses were summoned, plus the [-] left from last year's battle, the total is [-]. I plan to keep [-] elite war horses, [-] for daily training, [-] for combat, and all the remaining horses will be leased to farmers for farming.
However, this still cannot fill the gap of war horses. As this year, you two are responsible for breeding war horses and purchasing war horses from other places. Whether it is Liangzhou or Youzhou, I want as many war horses as I want. "
"Here!"
The two of them sang "Nai" to receive their orders.
After arranging tasks for everyone, Liu Han looked at everyone and continued: "Although the territory is large, the policy remains unchanged. We still take the same four steps. First, seize the military power in one area, and re-select and eliminate the former Bingzhou soldiers. Standards for everyone. Everyone knows that the next step is to focus on government affairs and smooth out the public sentiment in the area, the third step is to suppress bandits and public security, and collect evidence of the illegal activities of these wealthy families, and the last step is to stand on the basis of justice and eliminate them in targeted areas. "
"Here!"×N "Lord, what about those who have not committed any crime?"
It was Zhang He who said this. This is also everyone’s question. There are indeed scum among the wealthy and noble families who exploit the people, but it is undeniable that there are also noble families who are good to the people. According to the current investigation, there are several families in Taiyuan County alone. , If you can't grasp the handle according to Han law, you can't just teach the unknown and kill him without teaching.
Liu Han also knew, "Just keep an eye on it for the time being, but don't be deliberate. When cleaning up these noble families and wealthy families, try to stagger the time. Remember, only target these guilty ones!"
"Here!"×N # night.
The moonlight shines through the window lattice and quietly shines on every corner of the study. Only the lamps and candles are beating slightly, like the guardians of the night, walking with Liu Han in the ocean of thoughts.
The meeting was over. Everyone had a night's rest and would go to their respective posts tomorrow, but Liu Han couldn't sleep.
At this moment, he is sitting in front of the book desk with a serious look on his face. All the information here is the basis for his survival. People's memories will eventually disappear slowly, so when he was very early, he wrote down many things in writing. Key nodes and characters, combined with the current intelligence, are verified and analyzed in order to find the most correct choice.
Here is his biggest secret, only he can enter! Liu Han frowned, his body straightened, his breathing steady, and his eyes found that many things were not as simple as he originally thought.
This is not a few cold lines in the book.
This is also a human society of flesh and blood, and wherever there are people, there is not only fighting and killing, but also more humaneness.
Only when you are born in this era can you know how difficult it is to do what you have to do.
"Gentlemen."
