On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 412
Outside Jinyang City, on the bank of Fen River.

Cui Che, who had accepted Yang Liang's award, stepped onto the altar under the witness of the officials.

Apart from the usual rituals of the three animals, i.e. sheep's head, pig's head and ox's head, Cui Che also deliberately slaughtered a white horse. Under the witness of the officials, he swore to the Tianmeng that he would never harm Yang Liang.

Only then did he return to Jinyang and live in the temporary Yanwang Mansion.

It is said to be the palace, but it is actually the mansion that Cui Che bought when he was working in Jinyang. It is actually a big mansion, but as a palace, it is still a bit shabby.

The new Prince Yan Mansion will be built at a new site, and now they can only temporarily settle down in the old house.

Fortunately, all his wives and concubines were in Yecheng, and Cui Che was alone, so he didn't have so many demands.

All the confidantes, as well as the newly affiliated people, rushed to the Palace of King Yan, and listened to King Yan's elegant voice in the main hall.

The previous awards were not only for Cui Che's confidantes, but also for Dou Luyu, Wang Ba, Pei Wen'an, Qi Muliang, Qiao Zhongkui, He Dangui, Wang Dan, Ru Ru Tianbao, Yu Gongli, Xue Cui, Liang Pusa, Wei Daozheng, etc. , Zhang Boying and other old troops of Yang Liang also received rewards.

It's just that they can't be like Cui Che's cronies, soaring upwards and being promoted by leapfrogging.

Some of Yang Liang's old ministries have been reused, such as Dou Luyu, Wang Ba, Xue Zhou, Pei Wen'an and others.

It is abominable for Dou Luyu's seller to beg for mercy, but Cui Che can't cross the river and tear down the bridge, otherwise no one will dare to rely on him in the future.

Cui Che also liked Wang Ba's bravery.

As for Xue Zhou and Pei Wen'an, we can tell from their surnames, one is from the Xue family in Fenyin, and the other is from the Wenxi Pei family.

Xue Zhou is a civil servant with the ability to govern the region. In the original time and space, as the governor of Xiangzhou, he got involved in Yang Liang's rebellion. He was convicted and dispatched to the border. Up to hundreds of people.

At this time and space, because Cui Che was in Hebei, and Li Jing served as the governor of Xiangzhou and the governor of Xiangzhou, Xue Zhou stayed in Hedong as an official, but he was still involved in this rebellion.

And Pei Wen'an attacked Puzhou, and at the same time suggested Yang Liang to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the imperial court to attack the people in Guanxi. It cannot be said that Pei Wen'an's suggestion was wrong, but Yang Liang was not Yang Su's opponent.

Both of them are talented people, even if they come from humble backgrounds, Cui Che will accept them, let alone from a famous family in Hedong.

Of course, while there are proud people, there are also frustrated people, such as Qiao Zhongkui, He Shangui, Wang Dan, Ru Ru Tianbao, Yu Gongyi, etc., who were also surrendered secretly by Cui Cheming and lost their real power.

The government offices of the three provinces and six ministries in the Jinyang court are used to accommodate these people. After all, the military power has been divided between the prime minister's government and the Chinese and foreign governments.

Cui Che gathered all the people in the Yan Palace today, and the first important thing to discuss was to move all the Xiangzhou soldiers and their families to Jinyang, making Jinyang the center of military power.

Of course, there are also objections. Some scholars in Hebei hope to follow the example of Gao Huan and Gao Cheng.

Let Yang Liang move his capital to Yecheng, take Yecheng as the political center, let Cui Qiji, the son of King Yan, enter the court to assist the government, and keep Jinyang as the military center.

The common point of the two views is that Jinyang's position as a military center cannot be shaken.

Jinyang goes west and passes through Puban, which can threaten Guanzhong;

Xiangnan was able to drive straight in and capture Luoyang;
Facing Hedong, Luoyang has no danger at all.

The Yellow River has never been able to act as a barrier. Not only does the river freeze in winter, but the river water in dry seasons is often not as high as the belly of a horse, and soldiers can ford across the river.

Jinyang itself is a land of four fortresses, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and convenient to use troops.

This is also the reason why powerful officials such as Er Zhurong, Er Zhuzhao, and Gao Huan all took Jinyang as their foundation in the last years of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

After some discussion, Cui Che rejected the proposal to move the capital.

At this moment, at that moment, the situation of Cui Che and Gao Huan cannot be generalized.

Although Gao Huan started his army in Hebei and claimed to be a descendant of the Bohai Gao family, a wealthy family in Hebei, he did not have any roots in Hebei.

Therefore, the capital was moved to Yecheng, and Hebei was guarded by his eldest son Gao Cheng.

Cui Che has been in business for more than [-] years, and his foundation in Hebei is much deeper than that of Gao Huan. He doesn't need to worry about a rebellion breaking out in Hebei when he has not shown his decline.

This is also the reason why Cui Che only chose the third son Cui Yanqing as the governor of Xiangzhou, not the governor of Xiangzhou.

He didn't want to plant the seeds of fratricide.

As for the second son Cui Yanzong as the general manager of Liaodong, one is that Liaodong is remote, and the other is Cui Yanzong's status as a concubine.

Concubine has other concepts, at least in this era, it is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Cui Che finally decided to temporarily use Jinyang as the center of military power, instead of implementing the Jinyang-Yecheng military-political dual system of the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi.

The [-] soldiers who stayed in Hebei will be transferred to Hedong, and their families will follow.

After all, Cui Che once forged a letter, claiming that the imperial court wanted to restore the wrong service system in the Cao Wei period, that is, separate the soldiers and their families in two places, in order to arouse the anger of the tribe.

Of course he wouldn't do it himself.

As for the specific relocation and resettlement work, Fang Xuanling is still in charge.

Immediately, Cui Che ordered Li Jing, Sima of the foreign government, to be in charge of reorganizing the soldiers in Hedong.

Bingzhou itself is a place where elite soldiers are produced, but one general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies to death. Yang Liang was defeated in Guanzhong and only saved himself. After Su Su, he easily seized the land of Hedong.

Therefore, Cui Che temporarily decided not to expand the scale of soldiers. After all, raising these out-of-production soldiers is also a big expense.

After rewarding the three armies, they have to resettle the soldiers' families. Cui Che is not rich now.

After the military system of the 24 states in Hedong is restored, Cui Che will also call back all the soldiers sent to various places. After all, you have to clenched your fists to have strength.

Cui Che dispatched Da He Jinzhong, Li Han and other Khitan generals to the grasslands, returned to their respective tribes, recruited warriors, and completed the [-] establishments of the Yinan Khitan Zhi.

If there are vacancies in the other ministries, they will be filled by talented and strong people during the process of Li Jing's reorganization.

In any case, the size of the 20 main field army must be maintained.

When Cui Che was setting up the framework of the Eastern Sui Dynasty, the three prominent families in Hedong, the Wenxi Pei family, the Fenyin Xue family, and the Jiexian Liu family also sent important children to Jinyang to pay homage to Cui Che and serve under his sect.

Betting on both sides is also an old tradition of aristocratic families. If you really want to hug a tree to death, it has long since disappeared in the long river of history.

Cui Che now occupies the prosperous land in the east of the river, has the riches of the hebei province, and has no shortage of elite soldiers and generals under his command.

Since the three tribes in Hedong are under his rule, they naturally dare not disobey him.
