Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1217 Personnel and work

"I want to divide Dezhou into Huaihai Road." In Dezhou City, Shao Shude said in front of Wei Xun: "Cangzhou and Jingzhou are still attached to Hebei Road."

Wei Xun was a little surprised at the beginning, but he didn't feel too surprised. After all, the sage has been splitting Hebei Road, and his intention is quite obvious.

Hebei is too big and rich, so I don't feel at ease if the imperial court is not split up.

At the meeting of Emperor Wuzong of the former Tang Dynasty, Mengzhou and Huaizhou were taken away, and Heyang Huaiwei Jiedushi was set up, which is commonly known as Heyang Town.From then on, Mengzhou and Huaizhou still belonged to Hebei Province in the imperial court books, but they were actually controlled by Henan people.

The three eastern prefectures in Zhaoyi Town, that is, Xing Mingci, belong to Hebei in name, but are actually controlled by Jin people. After all, the government is located in Luzhou.

The Henghai Navy once had a rebellion. After being defeated by the coalition forces of various towns, Dizhou returned to Ziqing, and has since been separated from Hebei politically.

The Great Xia Dynasty conquered Weibo, defended the four prefectures of Chanbo, and was included in Henan Road.

Now that Cangjing has been wiped out, Dezhou will be taken away by Huaihai Road again.

Counting and calculating, Hebei Province was actually taken away by eight prefectures one after another. If the imperial court had not returned the three prefectures of Xingmingci to Hebei, the loss would have reached as many as eleven prefectures.

But even so, there are still more than 20 states remaining in Hebei, and their strength is still extremely strong, so we can only figure it out slowly in the future.

"Your Majesty, the people of Dezhou are not attached. Although they have obeyed this time, they still need to be suppressed by the army." Wei Xun said.

"The Tiande army is coming soon. I asked Cai Songyang to pick 500-year-old veterans and settle down on the spot. Li Siben's capture army is also good. I will ask him to allocate 500 horses for you, and then follow the example of the Jie army. Pick [-] people from each of the left and right hatchbacks. There are two thousand steps to stay in Dezhou, which is almost enough." Shao Shude said: "The local tyrants in Dezhou, I will pick three or two hundred young men with superb martial arts to join the silver saddle. His heart. With such actions, the land of the six counties will be peaceful, and there will be no troubles in the short term."

"Your Majesty is very considerate." Wei Xun admired.

Chongrong Webster brought some snacks.

Shao Shu pulled her hand and let Wei Shi sit beside him.

Back then, she came to Pei Shi to discuss rhythm with Du Shi and Xiao Shi.Shao Shude vaguely remembered that he was still living in Longchi Palace in Anyi at that time. Wei Shi was only 12 years old, the youngest among them, with obvious baby fat on his face.

Eleven years have passed in a flash, and Webster has been by his side, starting from sleeping, making the bed and lighting the lamp every night, doing his duty.After the founding of the country, it was a matter of course for her to become a concubine and get a seal.

Today's Webster still has a little baby fat on his face, which is really cute.Shao Shude glanced at the corner of Webster's mouth, it was a pair of small canine teeth, they were the ecstasy weapon in the bed, he loved them very much.

"General of the State Army, do you have someone to choose?" Shao Shude asked.

In fact, he had already accepted the military power of the governor of the world, so he shouldn't have asked this question.However, the situation in Hebei is special. If the governor has a bad relationship with the state general, it will be very troublesome, so he asked Wei Xun if there was anyone he needed to recommend.

It is impossible for a big family like Jing Zhaowei not to have a reserve of talents who are familiar with military strategy.Wei Gao in Dezong's time was very famous.

"Your Majesty, please appoint." Wei Xun replied.

"Then let Wang Maozhang come over." Seeing that Wei Xun avoided suspicion and did not recommend him, Shao Shude said.

After Wang Maozhang was captured, he has been living in Luoyang without arranging work.He even got married last year. Shao Shude summoned him once and thought that this person was okay.Considering his identity in Huainan, he planned to use it and let the generals in Huainan also see that the surrender was done by officials.

"What are your thoughts on civil affairs?" Shao Shude asked again.

"Have a rest with the people and persuade farmers to teach mulberry." Wei Xun replied.

Shao Shude nodded. This was a well-regulated answer. Actually, there was nothing wrong with it, but it was somewhat different from his intention.

"I can't rest for the time being." He said: "As soon as possible, you enlist your master and go to Wudi County, Cangzhou. Taking advantage of the shallow water in winter, cooperate with Cangzhou to dredge Wudi Water."

The role of Wudi water was already evident during the war.

Cangzhou was an important seafaring town before the Anshi Rebellion, and Wudi was one of the two major ports in Cangzhou.Because of Hebei's wealth, money and food, Cangzhou was the main force supplying Liaodong's Pinglu army at that time, and many ships sailed to Liaodong via Wudi.

Shao Shude likes this kind of canal that can be used for navigating ships. He privately regards Wudi as the "Seville" of Hebei, and intends to focus on operating it as a major port.

Chishanpu in Dengzhou may far exceed Wudi in terms of port conditions, but who makes you have no economic hinterland?

There is a huge gap between Dengzhou and Cangzhou in terms of population, economy or other aspects.The two are not even on the same level.What's more, Wudi Water is also connected to Jingzhou and connected to Yongji Canal, so the potential is huge.As long as the Yellow River does not abolish the Wudi water estuary, the economic value here will not be comparable to that of Dengzhou.

"I obey the order." Wei Xun replied.

"There is no rush. After the county officials take office, they will be dispatched." Shao Shude said.

The officials of Cangjingde three prefectures are still distributed according to the old rules: some of them are students from Kansai Prefecture; some of them are Jinshi from the new dynasty;

"I will leave some Henan Tutuan villagers in Dezhou for a period of time to help you stabilize the situation." Shao Shude said again: "Do well. I remember the love of the Wei family. Your father is old, and the future burden will be on you Come to pick. The wealth and honor of Great Xia, I share it with Webster."

"I am so grateful, I will devote myself to my death." Wei Xun said emotionally.

Shao Shude smiled, took Wei Shi's hand, and said, "Good days are yet to come."

******
"The good days are yet to come." Li Gongquan, the envoy of the Gongchen Army, looked at the five hundred cavalrymen who had been incorporated into the army, and said with a smile.

After all, Li Siben was Shao Sheng's nephew, completely different from Wang Maozhang, a man who was unemployed all the year round, and he became the Youyi envoy of the Gongchen Army right away.

The Gongchen army fought for several months, but the number has dropped to more than [-].

Shao Shude also put a lot of effort into this army, buying people's hearts many times, as a signboard for the Hebei warriors in the United Front, although many soldiers in this army are no longer from Hebei.

Just a few days ago, he ordered Weizhou Academy, Lingzhou Academy, Shanzhou Academy, and Yunzhou Academy to select [-] recruits each to join the Gongchen Army.

Among the more than [-] surviving tribes in Tongzhou, Bazhou, Longjian, and Helong, [-] elites were selected to join the Gongchen army.

Coupled with the 1000 cavalry selected from the catching army, a hodgepodge-style army is about to take shape: the whole army has about [-] people, including [-] infantry and [-] cavalry.

This is not over yet.

Because more than a hundred martial arts student officers are already on the way, and some of the elite soldiers from Hebei may be added in the future, or they may be merged with other troops, and the number will reach a new level.

"From now on, the military envoys will take care of us." Li Siben said humbly.

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Li Gongquan waved his hands again and again, and said, "You are a righteous nephew of a saint, and I am a descendant of Wei Bo, it is different. From now on, the future of me and General Hua is in your hands .”

"General Li still needs a lot of good words in front of the saint." Deputy envoy Hua Wenqi said.

"This--ah!" Li Siben sighed, and said, "They are all my brothers, there is nothing to say, let's take care of each other."

"It should be so." Li Gongquan and Hua Wenqi laughed and said happily for a while.

Tomorrow, the sage will leave Dezhou for Cangzhou.

The Tiande army has begun to deploy defenses along the Yongji Canal, and the Gongchen army is also preparing to move northward and drive to Cangzhou.

As for whether he will be involved in the Youzhou battlefield in the future, it is hard to say.

According to the latest news, the Tianxiong Army had been attacking under the city of Gu'an for several days. If they failed, they retreated and waited for the Longxiang Army to catch up.At the same time, they sent people to detour from the East Road, Ke Yongqing County, and entered Bo'anci, and the Jin army was in chaos.

The situation was very good, but Li Gongquan and others could see that Tianxiong's army was fighting for hundreds of miles, and the soldiers' fronts were blunted, and they had to wait for the main force to converge.

It is very likely that the Gongchen army will return to the battlefield, and they must be prepared.

And not far from the three of them, a group of masters were packing up and preparing to leave.

"Zhou Da, I like you much more now." Qin Lizheng said with a smile while leaning on a spear.

Zhou Dalang packed his things silently.

He has a visible scar on his face.On the unseen body, there were two small wounds.The wounds were not big, they were all wounded by arrows and left behind during the siege.

Overall, his luck is still very good.

The hot golden juice didn't hit him, and the strength of the arrow that pierced through the air had weakened, and it didn't hurt his vitals.When the last battle came to the top of the city, the enemy's sharp machete only disfigured him.

This is no longer a matter of smoke from the ancestral grave, it is a damn fire.Many men from Henan Province who went out together were killed or disabled in battle, and those who can survive until now, let's have fun secretly.

But what Qin Lizheng said was right, the temperament of the survivors is quite different.

After all, after rolling among the dead, I have a new understanding of life.

The ancients said that there is great terror between life and death, and many people can't understand it.But every near-death experience brings you one step closer to insight.

Luoyang men, because of the influence of their parents' family environment, have actively practiced martial arts since childhood.He had never seen blood before, had never been in battle, and was scorned as a "little sheep" by veterans.

Now that the little sheep has fought brutal siege battles for several months, it seems that it has grown some bloodthirsty fangs, and it is no longer a bully.

Tomorrow, he will go on a north tour with the sage, and maybe he will participate in the battle in Youzhou.After another year or so, it will be a good source of supplementary soldiers.

The depravity of the Luoyang man seems to have been pushed back another generation.

Wang Quan sat on a carriage full of millet and wheat, and looked at them with a smirk.

"It's time to practice!" He opened his mouth wide, showing his yellow teeth, and said, "I think when I was in Huizhou, when I had no money, I would kill a few Tubo thieves. This is how my family earned their fortune. My Dalang was able to become the commander of Huaihai Dao because he practiced well since he was a child."

Qin Lizheng already knew Wang Quan, and he agreed with what he said very much.

Wang Jiao is well-known in the old land of Ziqing Town, and he is obviously capable of being the commander of the Huaihai Road Capital.He doesn't know what old man Wang Quan is capable of, but it seems that what he said is true.

"It's going to happen." Wang Quan jumped out of the carriage, patted his buttocks, and said, "The imperial court seems to be still recruiting brave men from the Tutuan villagers to join the army. If you are lucky, you can Joining the army like our army's Dalang, the future is not a problem. This is all from experience, and the opportunity to fight with a saint is not very common."

When Qin Lizheng and Zhou Dalang heard it, they both thought it made sense.

"I'm old, I have no chance, you can figure it out." Qin Lizheng glanced at Zhou Dalang, and said, "If the sage comes to the city of Youzhou in person, and the governor's ministries march in, whoever wins the first prize at this time will be able to reach the sky in one step. "
