Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 546 Ask Li Jing to come to her door and get beaten
On the first day of February in the first year of Zhang Zhou Shaoming, Zhang Zhao completed the integration of all the envoys of the Later Jin Dynasty, so he issued an imperial edict.

An Shenqi was sent out as the envoy of Ziqingpinglu Army Jiedu.

Gao Xingzhou was the governor of Cangzhou Henghai.

Wang Zhou was the envoy of the Yicheng Army in Weizhou.

Jiao Jixun was the Jiedu envoy of Zhangde Army in Xiangzhou.

Fu Yanqing was the envoy of the Yongqing Army in Beizhou.

He Fujin was the envoy of the Anguo Army in Xingzhou.

Yao Yuanfu was the envoy of the Hengzhou Shunguo Army.

For his own people from Yongliang, Zhang Zhao arranged for Yan Jin to lead the forbidden troops of Hanhai and Wuwei towns as Beijing's left-behind and Hedong Jiedu envoys.

Fanshun is the envoy of the Zhongwu Army in Xuzhou.

Liu Zaisheng was promoted to Jiedushi of Shannan West Road.

Er Zhujing was the envoy of the Weisheng Army in Dengzhou.

Ma Yaozi was the envoy of the Tianping Army in Yunzhou.

Zhao Kuangzan was the envoy of the National Defense Army in Hezhong.

Shanzhuer Luo Shande was the envoy of the Taining Army in Yanzhou.

At the same time, the establishment of the Jiedu Envoy in the Guanzhong area was cancelled, and the Guannei Road was set up. Yin Yaozi was appointed as the Guannei Road ambassador and Guannei Road defense envoy, responsible for the military situation in Kansai.

Liu Zaisheng was transferred to Xiangzhou in Shannan West Road as Jiedu envoy, specifically targeting Nanping Wang Gao Congjiao.

In terms of politics, Zhang Zhao restored the establishment of Taoism in the Tang Dynasty, set up Taoist ambassadors, and coordinated the civil affairs, finance and other powers of each province.

Although there is no clear stipulation, Ambassador Dao will definitely become the superior of Jiedushi in the future. This is beyond dispute.

However, in order to minimize the stimulation of these soldiers and generals, Zhang Zhao aimed at the land of Hebei in terms of civil power.

The prefectures and counties that belong to the Jiedushi system still use the old formula, but the prefectures and counties that do not have a Jiedushi are managed by officials selected by the imperial court.

In terms of financial rights, the state and counties with Jiedushi will be inspected and reviewed by a member of the household department of the imperial court, Wailang. After passing the inspection, the Jiedushi can freely control them.

If the Jiedu envoys are not enough, the household department member Wailang who is stationed in Jiedu will apply for a list. After the household department reviews it, Zuo Shilang will submit it for approval, and the imperial court can make supplements.

And this is still Hebei. If it is in Henan Province, including Henan, Shandong, Huaibei, northern Hubei and other vast areas in later generations, it will be almost the same as the original Yongliang Kingdom.

Jiedushi is in charge of the military, and the policy of handing over all civil affairs and financial power has actually become the general army.

This is also the reason why Zhang Zhao basically assigned the Jiedu envoys of the Later Jin Dynasty to Hebei, and the reason why he assigned his team to Henan.

This Hebei land is going to wrestle with Liu Zhiyuan and Khitan, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to settle down within two or three years.

Moreover, my own people are used to Jiedushi not caring about civil affairs, Fu Yanqing and others have not yet adapted, and it is not appropriate to be too radical at once.

Therefore, Hebei will not make major changes, and the real reform and pilot projects will be put in Henan.

The most ideal administrative structure in Zhang Zhao's mind is of course the provincial system of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

But in this era when movable type printing was not invented, only woodblock printing was not very realistic.

Because Zhang Zhao didn't have enough officials to govern the country, let alone a complete talent selection mechanism like the Ming and Qing Dynasties. You must know that the current imperial examinations only have the number one scholar.

Moreover, it is not always possible to select every subject, and the second place and the third place have no shadow at all. By the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, even the time was not fixed.

As far as the current talent pool is concerned, it cannot support a large centralized structure like the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

What's more, the groups in the Ming Dynasty made a profit, and all the benefits were given to the scholars. In the Qing Dynasty, while wooing the scholars, they created an entire privileged class.

Zhang Zhao predicted that perhaps when he was old, population growth, business prosperity, and the emergence of movable type printing allowed knowledge to spread to the lower classes, so that he could have a political structure that was somewhat similar to that of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

But now, it is just tinkering. While restricting the separatism of the feudal towns since the end of the Tang Dynasty, it still has to rely on the all-encompassing system of festivals and towns and local clans to rule.

After the internal integration is completed, the problem is military. Zhang Zhao convened a large-scale military meeting with the participation of generals from all factions.

The Jiedu envoys have only got their own positions, and have not yet gone to the place, so the people are still very complete.

Most of the generals looked at the map and began to discuss which routes should be used to attack Liu Zhiyuan.

Because before that, Zhang Zhao invented an edict to Liu Zhiyuan, asking him to move the town of Yedu, but Liu Zhiyuan didn't even let the court angels enter the gate of Taiyuan.

And after that, Zhang Zhao gave the positions of Beijing's left guard and Hedong Jiedu envoy to his confidant General Yan Jin.

He also sealed off the positions of Jiedu envoys in Xing, Ming, and Heng provinces in Hebei that had already been controlled by Liu Zhiyuan.

According to the normal rhythm, the attack on Liu Zhiyuan is almost ready.

And even Liu Zhiyuan himself thought so, according to the information sent back by Jinyi's army and Fu Yanqing's younger brother Fu Yanlin.

Liu Zhiyuan concentrated a large number of troops in Fuyang, north of Yedu, and established a defense line along the Fushui and Zhangshui and the Fushan area behind.

But in the stunned eyes of most people, what the emperor's personal guards took out was a topographic map of the Huaibei area.

Zhang Zhao waved his hand to signal Hu Guang to come forward, "General Hu Zhong, come forward and explain the situation in Huaibei."

Hu Guang is now the Zhonglang General of the right army guard, and Zhang Zhao's relatives are the left and right Habayashi guards, the left and right Jinwu guards, and the left and right dragon guards. The rank of general and general is no longer a permanent official. Usually used as a gift.

The chief of the guard is the commander, and under him is a deputy with the title of General Zhonglang, and then General Lang and Marquis Duyu.

Although it seems that the pro-army capital Yuhou can only manage 500 people, in fact, the six guards of the pro-army are the elite among the elite. They are equipped with the same number of auxiliary soldiers, and they are also supported by other town troops during wartime.

So in fact, a pro-army Du Yuhou is likely to bring about 2000 to [-] people.

Hu Guang has long since stopped being embarrassed by the fact that his father is the chief culprit of the corruption in Huaibei. He has been able to accept the suspicion brought by the identity of Hu Ci's son.

"There was news from the Southern Wu Kingdom that the leader of the Southern Wu, Li Jing, was going to change Xuzhou to Beijing, led by the Jiedu Envoy Hu Cile of the Xuzhou Wuning Army who had defected to the Southern Wu.

He also granted Hucile the post of staying in Beijing, Du Chongwei the post of Nanwu inspector Taifu, and the Jiedu envoy of the German Army, and was granted the title of Song Guogong, and bestowed a large amount of property.

Du Chongwei and Khitan general Yang Gun also cut off the Bianhe waterway, intending to resist. "

Zhang Zhao claimed to revive the Great Tang and the loyal officials of the Great Tang, so of course he would not recognize the Southern Tang regime, but referred to them as Southern Wu.

In fact, the war between Zhang Zhou and Southern Tang was indeed more urgent than fighting Liu Zhiyuan.

This is because it involves orthodoxy and jurisprudence.

Zhang Zhao is a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, but Li Min and Li Jing's father and son simply call themselves the Tang Dynasty. There is no room for reconciliation at all!One side has to go down.

In fact, Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was so eager to take over the tiger thorns, even a heavyweight like Du Chongwei, and even dispatched soldiers to the north despite Wang Min's failure to completely pacify, was also because of this.

Hearing that Nan Wu made a big move, many people looked at each other in blank dismay.

It's not that everyone didn't expect that Du Chongwei would go to Nan Wu, because Zhang Zhaoming wanted Du Chongwei's life, and Du Chongwei himself had committed so many evils, they knew with their toes that going to Nan Wu was the only choice.

But the whole family fled south?Or lead Wu Jun northward?Just two choices.

To everyone's surprise, Li Jing, the leader of the Southern Wu Dynasty, was really daring!
As far as the army of Southern Wu is concerned, although the navy is strong and the infantry is not bad, they don't have many cavalry!
In the whole country, only the Xiongwu, Longwu, and Shenwei armies of the Forbidden Army have cavalry, about seven or eight thousand, and their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with that of the Central Plains cavalry.

Although it is said that guarding the river must guard the Huai River, is it a bit too rampant to rush to Songzhou and change the name of Xuzhou to Beijing?

Li Jing didn't think about it, once Xuzhou, Beijing, couldn't keep it, what kind of blow would it have on the morale of Southern Wu's army?

Zhang Zhao smiled complacently. Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, dared to be so bold. In fact, Zhang Zhao let the Jinyi pro-army and the Hexi Chamber of Commerce spread the rumors, which played a big role.

According to these rumors, Zhang Zhao had sent most of the cavalry to the north of the Yellow River to fight against Liu Zhiyuan and the Khitans, and Zhang Zhao was still pinning his hopes on recruiting Du Chongwei.

And Du Chongwei, a heavyweight, also boasted to Li Jing in the letter in order to strengthen his weight in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

It is said that he has three thousand Khitan brave cavalry and ten thousand good horses under his command, and the Bian River is blocked. As long as the soldiers from the Southern Tang Dynasty arrive, they will definitely be able to hold it.

However, Hu Cile, who knew the strength of the Yongliang iron cavalry, was very cautious. He sent his nephew Hu Tai to Jiangning to explain to Li Jing why the Yongliang iron cavalry was far from being able to resist the Jiangnan cavalry.

But talking too much, it had a side effect. Hucile also regarded Li Jing as a master like Zhang Zhao, which was a blunt statement.

As a result, Li Jing, Feng Yansi and other "five ghosts" who were in power were extremely dissatisfied. They felt that Hu Cile had exalted Zhang Zhao and Yongliang cavalry too much, and belittled Li Jing and me.
Fortunately, Hu Cile's eldest son, Huwei, is much more "reasonable" than Hu Cile, and under his brilliant explanation, Li Jing did not vent his anger on Hu Cile.

And Li Jing also felt that Huwei's ability and insight were much higher than that of Tiger Thorn.

Hucile must be old and lacking in ambition, so he looks forward and backward, but Huwei is different. He is also a fierce general who came back from Anxi, and he is also young and ambitious.

Therefore, under the influence of Huwei, who was already poor in level and deliberately catered to, Li Jing thought that our Datang navy was sharp and our infantry was invincible, and the only ones to worry about were Zhou's Yongliang iron cavalry.

However, there are not many Yongliang cavalry in Huaibei, only more than [-] cavalry.

On his side, he had [-] cavalry from the forbidden army, more than [-] cavalry from Hu Ci Le's troops, and Du Chongwei had [-] cavalry from the Khitan army, more than Zhou's cavalry.

What's more, the army went north from Jiangning, and it also had the advantage of Sishui, Bianhe, and Hangou water transportation, and the soldiers could be sent to various places in Beijing, Xuzhou and Songzhou by boats.

At that time, the canal will be used as the Great Wall, the elite infantry will be used as the shield, the boat and crossbowmen will be used as spears, and the left and right cavalry will be used as nooses.

As long as the Zhou army is attracted to the vicinity of Bianshui, even in a field battle, it can be defeated.

Li Jing was making wishful thinking, but Gao Xingzhou and Hu Guang, no!Gao Xingzhou was even more embarrassed than Hu Guang.

Because Du Chongwei in Songzhou is his son and daughter's relatives, his second daughter Gao Eniang married Du Chongwei's eldest son Du Hongzhang.

At the same time, Gao Xingzhou also thought of the reason for Zhang Zhao's cold treatment and even connivance with Du Chongwei.

"The meaning of the sage is to lead the Southern Wu army to the Songzhou area to gather and annihilate them?"

Zhang Zhao nodded slightly, "Gao Taiwei is indeed a brave general who knows the soldiers. The Southern Wu has a territory of thousands of miles, a household registration of about 5 million, and more than [-] imperial troops and guards. It is a big country in the world, and it also has a sharp navy. above me.

If I go south to Huaibei and Huainan to attack, the delay will be longer, and Liu Zhiyuan may become bigger.

If they don't attack, when a certain soldier recaptures Hebei, Li Jing's boy will let Tiger Thorn take over the bandits in Huaibei, and he will definitely come to sneak attack.

It's better to lure the enemy to go deep, and let the soldiers of the Southern Wu Dynasty send them to the door to be beaten by themselves! "
