Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1171
Taiwan's administration has always been known for its efficiency, especially in the current war, so there is no room for delay in all decisions and regulations.

Although the conversation between Shen Zhezi and Xue Tao had only revealed a little sign, when the news spread, various actions began immediately.

First of all, some of the staff officers accompanying the army, including Xue Tao, made appointments with those township tycoons in Hedong.Then Xingtai proposed several candidates for the governor of Hedong, all of which were more or less related to Hedong.

Of course, these actions are just a process, nothing more than to look better, the actual decision of the stage is not something that can be stopped by external forces.

Soon the candidate for the governor of Hedong was determined, and it was a member of the Hedong Liu clan named Liu Shi.Strictly speaking, this Liu Shi is not as closely connected with the local area as he is with Xingtai. He joined Xinshi Guan as early as the Huainan Governor's Mansion, and accumulated all the way to two thousand stones. He should be regarded as General Shen of Xingtai direct lineage.

But what attracted the most attention was the creation of the military mansion in Hedong. Xue Tao was appointed as the governor of the military mansion by Xingtai, which was basically what everyone expected.

For the Xingtai generals, the current Hedong is basically a fringe theater, and there are really few opportunities to make achievements, so they are too lazy to fight for it.For the villagers of Hedong, military power is the most sensitive matter. The establishment of the military mansion in Hedong basically means that the forces of Wang Shi have formally entered the countryside of Hedong, and this force is currently presided over by the leaders of their township clan, which is already regarded as the current situation. The best possible outcome of the situation.

But the most important thing right now is not the establishment of the ruling order in Hedong, but the construction of the Fenyin Water Camp.

This water camp is not just a simple water army camp for defense, but also the largest cargo distribution center in the section of the Yellow River west of Luoyang, including almost all the important ferry along the river from Fenyin to Puban.

Before the official construction, the Xue family in Hedong voluntarily gave up nearly half of the area of ​​Wubi, the hometown controlled by his family, to house the captives and convicts transported northward from Hongnong, Shangluo and other places.

In this cold winter, taking advantage of the falling water level of the Yellow River, these hard laborers will immediately put into construction. It is a very difficult task to complete the main riverside construction of the Fenyin Water Camp between the end of this year and the spring plowing next year. .

The construction of the Fenyin Water Camp can be described as a major event, and its significance even exceeds the military achievements achieved between Hongnong and Shangluo.

Therefore, at the beginning of the construction, Shen Zhezi ordered the frontline generals to stop the offensive, keep some combatants in place to guard the key areas, and nearly two-thirds of the main combat troops retreated back to Hongnong to station and rest, relying on Tongguan for supplies nearby, so that Relieve the logistical pressure so that more material resources can be invested in the construction of the Fenyin Water Camp.

Once the construction of the Fenyin water camp is completed, not only can a large amount of logistics materials be transferred to the east of the river through the Yellow River waterway, and can be taken nearby. Go straight to Sansuke!

In the Huayin General's camp, since the village affairs were finally settled and the results seemed to be good, the fear of the Hedong Township soldiers who accompanied the army finally calmed down, and they all resigned and left one after another, preparing to return to their hometowns to cooperate with the rule, or The rectification family intends to join the soon-to-be-established military government.

But although the people of Hedong Township feel at ease, it doesn't mean that other people are the same, such as Murong Ke.

Murong Ke has been in the Central Plains as the host of Liaodong for several years, and followed him all the way from Shouchun in Huainan to Xingtai in Luoyang.This visit with the army had nothing to do with him, but he had made connections in the past few years in Tianzhong, and it was not difficult to obtain a qualification to join the army.

Although his name is Proton, Murong Ke's life in the Central Plains is not very cramped. Apart from having to report to the Xingtai Yousi every month, his daily activities are basically free at other times.

Moreover, because General Shen had a lot of respect for his people in the past few years, and in recent years, the sea trade with Liaodong has gradually become a scale, and Murong Ke himself is not low in quality, and there is no vulgarity, so in Luoyang Some small circles also gradually gained fame.

But this does not mean that Murong Ke's life is very comfortable, mainly not because of the misery of living in a distant place, but because of the pressure from the tribe.

A few years earlier, General Shen made a strong effort to bring order to chaos in Jiangdong and purge the imperial court. He became the most powerful minister of the Jin court in Jiangdong in one fell swoop, and he was in charge of all internal and external affairs.

At the same time, the Murong Department in Liaodong was also affected and affected.The first is the extermination of the Bohai Feng family, which caused a lot of turmoil in Liaodong, especially among the Jin people. Many Jin clans who were originally attached to Murong Hao, the city of Dathorn, fled, or eastward attached to Murong. Ren, or simply walked into western Liaoning, hoping to find a way to escape to the south there.

The second is that Murong Ren, who was originally weakened, has grown stronger again. After all, it is no secret that he accepted Huainan's secret support in Liao. This opportunity attracted a group of exiles from Jin and some weak tribes around them.

The rivalry between the brothers Murong Hao and Murong Ren did not affect Murong Ke who was far away in Zhongzhou for the time being.However, the demise of the Feng family within the Murong family has brought considerable changes to Murong Ke's situation.

Because Feng's death was planned by Murong Ke, he wrote to Liaodong to contact Murong Ping, Murong Yun and other elders with real power, and finally achieved the goal of eradicating Feng's.

Later, General Shen really kept his promise and gave Murong Ke the right to deal exclusively with trade matters.Some precious goods produced in Zhongzhou, including a small amount of sophisticated ordnance, were sent to Liaodong continuously through the hands of Murong Ke.And all kinds of medicinal materials, pearls, jade, fur and other goods produced in Liaodong also began to appear in Zhongzhou in large quantities.

During this process, although Murong Ke could not return to Liaodong in person to manage his own power, he cleverly used his core position to win Murong Ping and several greedy and despicable uncles into his circle of interests. With the power of people, he successfully completed several tasks arranged by the stage, such as bringing some important figures from Jin to the south.

Murong Ke also understands that his behavior may be beneficial to himself, but it is definitely a kind of harm to the entire tribe.Moreover, with the development of the situation, the Murong Ministry will inevitably become weaker and weaker, which in turn will affect his situation in the Central Plains.

Although General Shen treated him kindly, a considerable part of it was based on the value of restraint and win-win that Murong Department itself possessed.Without these, under the current situation of rampant bullshit, no matter how talented he is, it would be difficult for him to get any chance to make great progress in Zhongzhou.

Therefore, Murong Ke also tried his best to find a situation that could achieve a balance, not to return too much damage to the power of the clan, but also to always receive preferential treatment from the Xingtai.But such a balance is too difficult to grasp, and the means that Murong Ke possesses are too scarce.

He hasn't thought of a solution yet, but a tough opponent has appeared, that is Murong Yun who was sent south by his father Murong Hao.Murong Yun is the brother of his grandfather Murong Xin, although he is known for being humble and respectful, but when he was facing his grandfather and father, Murong Ke, a mere lost son, would naturally not be taken seriously.

This is indeed the case. After Murong Yun came to the south, his posture can be described as strong. Not only did he pay high-profile visits to important officials and celebrities, but he also wanted to directly intervene in the business affairs that Murong Ke took care of.

However, being high-profile also has its disadvantages. Murong Yun himself is not familiar with the customs of Xingtai, and his speech is vulgar and lacking in style, so he is not accepted by the people of the time.Even because of bribing Taiwan officials, he was arrested by Yousi. Murong Ke was worried that he would be implicated before rushing to rescue him.

Although Xingtai suffered setbacks, it did not mean that Murong Yun had no ability to compete with Murong Ke. Since Zhongzhou had nothing to do, he would play tricks in Liaodong.

After all, part of the trade must be completed in Liaodong, and Murong Yun's power in Liaodong is far beyond that of Murong Ke, and he was sent by his father Murong Hao to Zhongzhou to teach him a rebellious son.

The simplest point is that as long as the goods from Liaodong arrive via Murong Yun, they will all increase the price of the transaction, which greatly highlights the role of Murong Yun.The Murong judges who stood on Murong Ke's side were really short-sighted and unwilling to give him more support. Instead, they frequently sent letters blaming him for the reduction in profits.

As a result, Murong Ke's situation has become extremely embarrassing. Businessmen are profit-seeking by nature. Except for some official Taiwanese goods that are controlled by others, most of the other private goods channels have fallen into the hands of Murong Yun.

After gradually losing this pivotal position, Murong Ke's previous detached situation gradually disappeared.At this time, Murong Yun came again to tell his father Murong Hao that as long as he is willing to return to the land of the Liaodong tribe, the past mistakes will be forgotten.

Murong Ke no longer believed in this kind of nonsense as early as the beginning of his understanding. Taking a step back, even if his father would not kill him, his brothers, including the Murong judges who had benefited from him and lost because of him, would not let it go. he.Ever since he decided to disobey his father and help Huainan get rid of the Feng family, he has no way out.

The room leak happened to be raining all night, and the run-on competition from the tribe itself had already made Murong Ke very distressed. Xingtai's military strategy suddenly took another big turn, firmly defending the defense line in Hebei, and turned to march westward in Guanzhong.

On the surface, this incident seems to have little to do with their Liaodong Murong family, but due to the situation before, his father had to harass Liaoxi frequently in exchange for Xingtai's support, and now the grievances with the Jie country have deepened. If the threat from the south becomes smaller, It is very likely that Shi Hu will put all his power into Liao, in order to solve the Murong family's border trouble once and for all!
The current situation is just a strategic adjustment for Xingtai, but it has directly risen to a dangerous situation of life and death for Murong!

If he wanted to get through this time of danger, he needed to draw General Shen Da's attention back to Liaodong again.

Taking a step back, even if the Murong family cannot be saved this time, Murong Hao still needs to gain some capital to settle down in the future before the tribal power is destroyed.

This is the main reason why he wants to join the army this time, because the shift of the strategic focus of Xingtai is not overnight, and it is difficult for Murong Ke to see General Shen again in normal seasons.
