Chapter 1062 Xu Town Dading
Huaiyin is where Xuzhou's current township is located, which is different from Huainan's self-established township that has been stably governed in Shouchun since the beginning.

The reason why the township is often changed is not because Xi Jianjing is very fond of the new and dislikes the old, but because of the different military systems.Like in Huainan today, even though the front of the army has already arrived in Hebei and reached the gate of Guanzhong, even if Shen Zhezi is in Shouchun in the rear, he can guarantee absolute control over the army.

However, Xi Jian did not have such a strong force. He was attacked by Jie Huqiong before, and his troops were reduced to Huaixia, so Guangling's township was considered appropriate.Later, the army advanced widely, whether it was Xuyi earlier or Huaiyin now, Xi Jian's township had to follow the direction of the soldiers.If he doesn't, his control over the army will be greatly weakened.

Of course, according to the current situation in Xuzhou, the township of Huaiyin is no longer suitable, and a better choice is Pengcheng.However, since the beginning of the Central Plains War last year, Xi Jian gradually retreated to the second line. Later, the main force of Xuzhou was simply handed over to Shen Zhezi to command, so he no longer had to continue to move towns in order to maintain his influence on the army.

It is not the first time for Shen Zhezi to come to Huaiyin. Before that, he had several private visits and private meetings with Xi Jian, but it was the first time that he actually appeared in public in a grand manner, and his mood was different, because this time he was acting as a successor instead of Guests visit.

When the group arrived at the Governor's Mansion, it was already raining coldly in the sky.After all, Xi Jian was old and suffered from the cold before, so after returning to the mansion, he was unavoidably exhausted. He arranged for his nephews and subordinate officials to throw a banquet for the Huainan party to wash away the dust, while he went inside to take a rest for a while.

Although the handover has not been officially completed yet, the officials in Xuzhou did not dare to neglect in front of Shen Zhezi.Especially witnessing the whole story of the previous turmoil with his own eyes, he felt Liang Gong's determination to win Xuzhou even more, so at the moment, everyone was nervous, and they respectfully placed Shen Zhezi in the main position.

Shen Zhezi also didn't see the outsiders, and after he sat down, he asked about the result of the previous incident of the theft of ordnance. Before long, several officials involved in the incident were escorted to the hall. Among them, the officials belonging to Xuzhou had already been dismissed and convicted. It's just that they are being imprisoned, probably the officials in Xuzhou also want to test Shen Zhezi's attitude from this.

But they were doomed to be disappointed, this matter was clearly the case, and Shen Zhezi was just adhering to the attitude of discussing the matter, directly judging the crime in court, and the punishment should be executed immediately, and he did not mean to cover up for personal gain.

Seeing this scene, all the officials in Xuzhou lost their last bit of luck. They realized that after the governor of Shen Dadu came to Xuzhou, the relaxed atmosphere in the early years of Xi Gong's reign was gone forever.Instead of making meaningless pursuits, the most important thing they should do is to be cautious and try not to give the new envoy an excuse to make use of the topic.

Officials from the two towns at the banquet introduced themselves, and Shen Zhezi also looked at everyone at the banquet carefully, making a gesture of remembering, although he knew that there would be quite a few of these Xuzhou officials in the near future. If she appeared in front of him again, at least she would not appear in this capacity again.

Xuzhou's subordinate officials are very complex, and a considerable part of them are naturally the clansmen of this township, and there are also scholars and common people recruited by Xijian in the name of Taiwei's Mansion in Jiangdong, and naturally they are inevitably surrendered from the north.

No matter what the origins of these people are, Shen Zhezi doesn't care too much. He has passed the stage where he must invite everyone to help him, so he doesn't care much about the added value brought by the respective backgrounds of the subordinate officials, but pays more attention to everyone's personality. ability.Therefore, in the future, there must be an evaluation and screening for these people, those who are qualified will be kept, and those who are unqualified will be swept out.

Even if Xi Jian's face is still taken into account, at most there will be only a few candidates with special significance. As for the others, they must use their own efforts to enter the new Jiangbei system order in the future.

The atmosphere of the banquet was quite harmonious, and everyone deliberately did not mention some sensitive topics, so it can be said that the host and guest had a good time at the end, but the identity of the host and guest may change at any time.

On the second day, the formal handover began.This handover is not just a simple ceremony. Although Xijian's governorship has been weakened a lot, only Qingzhou and Xuzhou are left, but it covers many aspects such as population, fields, soldiers, storage, etc. If If everything has to be clarified before the official delivery, it will not take a month or two to do it.

This is also one of the reasons why Shen Zhezi sent Huainan officials to Xuzhou as early as last year. So far, he has got a general idea of ​​the various data in Xuzhou, and there are even some vague areas that Xi Jian is not clear about. cognition of a concept.

Therefore, the current handover does not need to be extremely complicated. The only difficulty lies in the number of residents.At present, the number of citizens under Xuzhou Governor's Mansion is still increasing rapidly. The reason for this is actually closely related to Shen Zhezi.

Previously, while announcing the theft of the military equipment, he also claimed that as long as he entered the town to preside over it, all the citizens under the Huai River would be able to stop farming.

For ambitious people, only in troubled times can they sleep soundly with weapons in their hands, but for ordinary people, it is the biggest dream in this life to be able to avoid the entanglement of military disasters and live with peace of mind.

Therefore, with Shen Zhezi making such a guarantee, in the recent period, many people, especially the people of counties and counties near Huaishui River, have flocked to various government offices to fight for naturalization, and there have even appeared many shady households under the command of the commander-in-chief of the refugees. The whole phenomenon of fleeing, because once naturalized, it means that they can be exempted from the heavy and dangerous military service.

This is tantamount to directly touching the foundation of those military leaders. How could they tolerate this kind of thing in normal seasons?

But during this period of time, people were more concerned about the theft of ordnance. Who would have the guts to go to war in such a sensitive time?If he was accused of being a mastermind of stealing weapons, it would be hard to argue, and others would only clap their hands and applaud Shen Dadudu, saying that he was punishing the villains in the village.

Of course, things are not that simple. In the final analysis, these army leaders and refugees who are currently staying in the town of Xuzhou are not the strongest group themselves.

Because right now the real main force of the Xuzhou Army is still stationed in various towns in Henan. Although those who stay in the south have some local popularity, it is absolutely difficult to achieve the reputation of gathering people who will respond to a call from the top.In particular, the last ordnance is still outside, which makes these village leaders suspicious of each other, making it difficult to connect effectively.

Before that, there were many township leaders who were apprehensive and apprehensive about the entry of Governor Shen into the town, but there was always one or two luck in their hearts. They felt that no matter how domineering this Duke Liang was, it was impossible to forcefully suppress the villagers when he took office. It's hard to blame everyone.

If the situation got so bad, they would certainly have a hard time, but that Duke Liang would never be able to find peace. At that time, the Huainan army would dare to enter Xuzhou without any scruples by enlisting the villagers to defend themselves in the fort?
If Duke Liang really dared to do such a frenzied act, the main force of the Xuzhou army who were originally in Henan would not be able to sit back and watch the villagers be slaughtered like this, and they would definitely return to their hometown!Therefore, if the face is really torn apart, Duke Liang's loss must be greater than theirs.

But they still underestimated the dangers of the world after all. Liang Gong really wanted to deal with them, so he didn't impose a single soldier at all. Even before he formally entered Xuzhou, he directly pried their foundation with just a few words.By the time the momentum builds, the situation is out of their control.

Faced with such a situation, who would really dare to fight with their lives to fight for the one-in-a-million chance?

Besides, they were not at the forefront of the army in terms of strength, and they were already war-weary. If Mr. Liang could really guarantee that all naturalized citizens would be exempted from military service, it might not be a good thing for them.

So in the past few days, especially with the passage of time, the news has spread more and more. Under Xuzhou's rule, the number of naturalized villagers has increased sharply, from a few thousand people a day at the beginning to tens of thousands a day. The momentum of growth is getting stronger and stronger!
Faced with such a situation, Xi Jian couldn't laugh or cry for a while. He has not solved the serious problems of Xuzhou's shaded households for so long in office, but Shen Zhezi has only been in the town for a few days, and he has not even formally taken over Xuzhou, so he directly adopts a tough posture. Tear off that layer of deformed but tenacious attachment to the villagers.

This kind of ability, if you want to envy it, you can't envy it, at least Xi Jian dare not make Shen Zhezi's promise to stop fighting and stop fighting.

Moreover, there is a huge risk in such a violent method. A large number of living people have left their original state of being attached to the register and become civilians on the register. They must be resettled as soon as possible. lead to violent civil uprisings.

So even if he knew there was such a method, Xi Jian didn't dare to do it, because he couldn't bear the serious consequences.And this consequence is almost non-existent for Huainan.

You must know that just last year, the Huainan Governor's Mansion housed and resettled more than one million Hebei refugees. Even though Xuzhou's folk customs are tough, they are at most comparable to Hebei refugees. War Wasteland is much better, at least it has more than ten years of business foundation.

While Xuzhou Shengmin was vying for naturalization, Shen Zhezi was not idle. After receiving Xijian's order, he immediately ordered the establishment of five military mansions in Xuzhou Town, with a total of 3 mansions. The army is used to replace the original armed forces such as county soldiers and township bravery to guard the peace of the country.

This time the recruitment is based on the principle of voluntary recruitment, not forced recruitment. Therefore, it is not inconsistent with the previous statement of exempting civilians from military service. Once forced recruitment occurs, villagers can report crimes.As for the settlement of the livelihood of the citizens, the family members of the sergeants will be given priority. At the same time, those who are county soldiers, township warriors and have parents, wives and children who need support have priority to enter the military government.

This arrangement is tantamount to recruiting the militia armed forces that have already collapsed, so as to prevent a large number of soldiers from being scattered in the countryside, bullying the weak and corrupting order.At the same time, the family members of these enlisted soldiers are held as hostages in order to achieve control over the army.

Putting it out and taking it in seems superfluous, but it has actually severely damaged the exile militia's previous form of military head song, and has become a brand-new armed force.

It was not until this step that Shen Zhezi's strategy and steps against Xuzhou were summed up.

Previously, through ordnance transportation, the Huainan Army's powerful concept was instilled in the minds of all the army leaders and their followers, and then the main force of the Xuzhou Army was transferred away from the town through large-scale conquests, and then the temptation to stop fighting attracted a large number of war-weary soldiers. The naturalization of the villagers disintegrated the foundation of the refugee commanders, and finally absorbed the unstable factors remaining in the countryside through the form of the military government to form a controllable army.

Once the rectification of the Xuzhou town is completed, those Xuzhou military leaders who have been transferred outside will become a source of water. Even if they still have the idea of ​​supporting their own self-respect, it is no longer possible to realize it.

　The content of this chapter, in fact, can be made more self-consistent through the enrichment of some details, but the Xuzhou issue is a game of internal affairs in the final analysis, and there will be a large part of the plot that will eventually achieve the goal of completely controlling the Jiangdong court. Writing is aesthetic fatigue again
