Chapter 237: Yiyang Mansion was added, and Master Li recommended officials

According to Xunfengwei's intelligence, Zhang Xianzhong was not only defeated in Huangzhou Mansion, but most of the [-] to [-] troops who had worked hard for several months to develop surrendered to Zuo Liangyu.

This was a great respite for Zuo Liangyu, who had experienced the defeat of Xinye, and restored the strength of Zuo Liangyu's troops to about [-].

And in this great defeat, Zhang Xianzhong narrowly escaped death - especially an arrow wound on his face, which disfigured him and almost killed him.

At the same time, Xunfengwei also reported that in a series of battles in Huangzhou Prefecture, Zhang Xianzhong had another brave and capable general under his command, named Wang Xingguo, nicknamed Sanyaozi.

It is said that he is Zhang Xianzhong's newly adopted son (not an adopted son, and his surname has not been changed).

This made Liu Sheng couldn't help but lament that Zhang Xianzhong's vision in selecting generals was much higher than his fighting ability.

After reading the intelligence, Liu Sheng said to Ma Jinshui: "We must continue to collect intelligence from Zhang Xianzhong's Department, Ge Zuo's Fifth Department, and Zuo Liangyu's Department, and keep an eye on their movements.

In addition, in the next period of time, Xunfengwei will need to arrange more spies to Xiangyang, De'an, Huangzhou, Chengtian, Jingzhou, Hanyang, and Wuchang to prepare intelligence for our army to capture Hubei. "

Ma Jinshui cupped his fists and responded, "Yes!"

Only half an hour after Ma Jinshui exited, Li Changwen came to see him again.

Liu Sheng knew that Li Changwen was busy with government affairs and would usually not come to see him. After he entered the palace and finished the ceremony, he asked, "What's the matter with Mr. Li?"

"I came here to recommend a young talent to the commander-in-chief."

Liu Sheng heard this and said strangely: "Sir, I am in charge of the political affairs hall. If you find a good person, you can directly appoint him. Now he comes to recommend me specifically. Could it be that this person has special talents?"

Li Changwen couldn't help but praise after hearing this, "The commander is wise - his talent is not in government affairs, but in military strategy."

Another military talent?

Liu Sheng's expectations were greatly reduced after hearing this.

It's not that he doesn't lack military talents, it's that Yan Ermei claimed to be a military talent before, but in fact he was better at government affairs and diplomacy, which made him have less expectations for military talents.

In fact, the Kuaibu's victory in battles relies on advanced and sophisticated weapons and equipment, as well as well-trained and disciplined soldiers, rather than any military strategy.

However, Li Changwen was kind enough to recommend talents, so Liu Sheng would not be left out in the cold, so he smiled and said, "Sir, please tell me about this person."

"This man's name is Ma Shimin, whose courtesy name is Boyu. He is a scholar in Ruyang City..."

According to Li Changwen's introduction, Ma Shimin was from Ruyang City. His father's generation had a small family fortune, and he himself was once a famous child prodigy in Ruyang.

However, since Ma Shimin was selected as a scholar when he was a teenager, he failed the provincial examination three times in a row. His family also became financially strapped due to his mother's serious illness and his own education expenses.

According to Li Changwen, the reason why this person failed in many examinations was because he studied too complicatedly after becoming a scholar.

But precisely because of this, this person's knowledge is no less extensive than that of him and Yan Ermei, and he especially likes to delve into the military codes and military books of the past dynasties.

After hearing this, Liu Sheng was really interested, so he met with Ma Shimin at the Generalissimo's Mansion in the afternoon.

After some conversation, Liu Sheng discovered that this man had indeed read a lot of military books and had done a lot of research on the military systems of past dynasties. He was at least a military theoretical talent - this alone made him much better than Yan Ermei, a military enthusiast.

The most important thing is that Ma Shimin is only 27 years old this year. He is still relatively young, has great potential and is worth cultivating.

So Liu Sheng asked him to temporarily serve as counselor of the Military Affairs Office and stay with him to accumulate more military experience.

Speaking of which, there are currently three main types of subordinates in the Military Affairs Office of the Ministry of Education.

The first is the clerks who are only responsible for correspondence and files; the second is the managers and clerks who are responsible for the actual affairs of the various divisions of the Military Affairs Department; the third is the staff officers and counselors.

Those around Liu Sheng are called counselors, and those who serve in various brigades and divisions are called staff officers. They are actually the military staff of the Wei Ministry.

The next day.

Liu Sheng asked someone to call Li Changwen and Zhao Deyou over and held a small meeting.

Nowadays, Runing in the Ebu region still only has the prefect and general magistrate, but no co-authors. The current government affairs in the Ebu region are basically centered on the Runing Mansion, so Li Changwen and Zhao Deyou can be regarded as Liu Sheng's right-hand men in administration.

As for the administrative staff in North America such as Liu Dachuan, Guo Sanhai, and Yang Minghe, they belong to another team and have little to do with Runing Mansion.During the small meeting, Liu Sheng had no polite words and went straight to the point: "Now our Yi tribe owns Runing and Nanyang Prefecture, Xiangyang Prefecture also accounts for more than half, and Kaifeng and Fengyang occupy a small corner.

Let’s not mention Nanyang and Xiangyang for now. As I deal with government affairs these days, I really feel that Runing Prefecture has too many prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction, making administrative affairs complicated and difficult to handle.

Therefore, I want to divide another prefecture from Runing and include the corners of Fengyang and Kaifeng currently occupied by our Yi tribe. "

With that said, Liu Sheng motioned to the palace guards to hang a new map on the screen.

Liu Sheng's plan for the new administrative unit is marked on it, which is clear at a glance.

Li Changwen and Zhao Deyou were immediately attracted by the three words "Yiyang Mansion" above.

Liu Sheng pointed at the map and introduced: "Xinyang was called Yiyang in ancient times. In the Song Dynasty, it was renamed Xinyang because Zhao Guangyi's name was taboo.

Therefore, I want to include Xinyang Prefecture, Luoshan, Xixian, Guangshan, Guangzhou, Shangcheng, Gushi and Huoqiu in Fengyang Prefecture in the upper reaches of the Huaihe River into Yiyang Prefecture.

In addition, Zhugao (close to Huaibin) and Changtan (new county) were upgraded to counties.Xinyang Prefecture was reduced to a county, and Guangzhou was governed by Yiyang Prefecture. "

This place actually imitates the administrative division of Xinyang in later generations, except that the prefecture became Guangzhou (Huangchuan).

Liu Sheng pointed to the northern part of Runing Prefecture and said: "Minggang Town was upgraded to a county and was transferred from Xinyang Prefecture to Runing Prefecture. Yangbu was also upgraded to a county.

Then Shenqiu of Kaifeng Prefecture was removed from the county and included in Xiangcheng County.

In this way, Runing Prefecture has Ruyang, Queshan, Minggang, Zhenyang, Xincai, Yangbu, Suiping, Shangcai, Xiping and Xiangcheng, a total of ten counties.

As for Yingzhou, it is temporarily set as the direct prefecture of our Weibu region, and it governs Yingzhou, Yingshang, and Taihe. "

Li Changwen and Zhao Deyou stepped forward to take a closer look at the map and found that in this way, both Runing Prefecture and Yiyang Prefecture had ten counties under their jurisdiction, which was indeed quite refreshing.

After the introduction, Liu Sheng asked: "Do you have any opinions?"

Li Changwen and Zhao Deyou had no experience in administrative division, so they really didn't have any opinions at the time.

Zhao Deyou even praised: "The students think it is very good that the commander-in-chief divided Yiyang Mansion."

Li Changwen nodded.

Seeing this, Liu Sheng said: "Yingzhou is under semi-military control for the time being, and An Jun, the military and political officer of the Second Division, can handle the government affairs.

But Yiyang Mansion needs at least one prefect, one magistrate, and one official each. Who do you think is qualified? "

Li Changwen thought for a while and said: "Since the commander-in-chief wants to capture Huguang this autumn, the candidate for the governor of Yiyang Prefecture is very important.

Zhao Tongben came from the army, and he served as Runing Tongpan for more than half a year. He should be the best candidate for the prefect of Yiyang.

In addition, Gao Douyuan was well versed in both military and political affairs, and he had made contributions to the city. After surrendering, he was still appointed as the magistrate of Xiping County. Not only did he have no complaints in the past six months, but he also had many political achievements, and he could be the general judge of Yiyang.

As for recommending officials, the commander-in-chief may select military and political officials from the army. "

Liu Sheng nodded slightly after hearing this.

It has to be said that the two candidates recommended by Li Changwen are quite satisfactory to him.

Zhao Deyou didn't want to talk about it. He had also received Gao Douyuan after he presented the city and knew that this man was indeed talented.Now in the past six months, it has been tested and can be entrusted with important responsibilities.

After coming back to his senses, he asked again: "Who is the competent judge of Runing?"

Li Changwen stopped talking.

Liu Sheng was slightly stunned before he realized that Li Changwen was trying to avoid suspicion.

After all, Runing Mansion is the core of the Weibu territory. Li Changwen recommended Zhao Deyou, the general judge, away. If he recommends another "his person" to the position, he will inevitably be suspected of monopolizing Runing's government affairs.
