The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 536 Closing
The compromise of the Yizhou clan allowed the Yizhou Diguang government to be established smoothly and started working. powerless.

And they also get some benefits, for example, their children can participate in the selection of officials, and if they are outstanding, they can even make an exception for promotion, so they don't have to start from a small official.

Although it is much worse than the benefits obtained by the big clans, at least not. The advantages of the big clans are obvious. They can directly enter the court as officials. A status symbol.

Digesting half of Yizhou is no pressure for the current Liu Bei Group. All the officials transferred to Yizhou this time are from humble backgrounds and have outstanding abilities, especially those who have experience in dealing with local clans. Chen Ziming was not worried at all about whether they could gain a firm foothold in Yizhou.

As for the soldiers and horses in Yizhou, no one dared not to follow Guan Yu, and Chen Ziming took a large amount of money from the Yizhou treasury to give to the soldiers who were sent back to their hometowns, and at the same time brainwashed them to make them forget Liu Zhang as the emperor as soon as possible. .

More than 5 Yizhou soldiers and horses were selected from the best, and finally [-] elites were left, all of whom were strong and capable of recruiting good fighters. The army will become a great main force.

When Chen Ziming gained a firm foothold in Yizhou, the political reform of the Liu Bei Group had been completed, with the separation of powers and duties, the establishment of a sound administrative system, and increased monitoring of all aspects. It can be said that the administrative structure of the Liu Bei Group has now been completely optimized and transformed. .

There will no longer be power, a single family, and hereditary official positions.

The local government has also been restructured, and various departments have been established to perform their duties and supervise each other. It is impossible for a county magistrate and a county guard to hold military and political power and be the emperor of one side.

However, it is worth mentioning that this political reform has violated the interests of too many people, especially the interests of clans, and it has almost been swept to the bottom. If many clans do not change their development paths in time, it is foreseeable that they will completely disappear in the near future.

For those clans, there are no privileges, no official positions, and they are no different from ordinary people except for more assets in their hands. Now they don't even have to deal with their maids casually, otherwise they will face lawsuits.

The clan under Liu Bei's rule covered the sky with one hand and oppressed one side. The era of oppressing one party is over. The local government is not their children, and there is no clan member in the court.

But they have no power to resist, they have no real power in their hands, no soldiers and horses, and all the servants and nurses have been dismissed, and they have lost the qualification to challenge Liu Bei.

Of course, smart clans chose to serve Liu Bei with their entire family, and Liu Bei did what he said without any intention of disobedience. These clans were not suppressed too much, but because the talents in the clan worked for Liu Bei, they got a lot of benefits.

The representative clans are the Mi family and Chen family in Xuzhou, as well as the Zhuge family in Langya, and the Xu family who moved to Qingzhou. their children.

Of course, they didn't dare to betray Liu Bei. Liu Bei's control over various places has now reached its peak. Whether it is the Chen family or the Mi family, Liu Bei can easily crush it.

It is not easy to achieve all this. Ten years of layout, ten years of investment, and ten years of painstaking management. In these ten years, in order to eliminate the clan world, Liu Bei and Chen Ziming spent a lot of time, energy and money to get to this step.

It can be said that as long as Liu Bei is not destroyed, the clan and family will never return.

The political reform achieved a big victory. While Liu Bei was delighted, he was also worried about Chen Ziming. This political reform was initiated by Chen Ziming, and the clans from all over the country couldn't hide it. Although they bowed to Liu Bei, their hostility towards Chen Ziming was unprecedentedly high.

Liu Bei was helpless, these things had long been expected by him and Chen Ziming, but it was imperative.What Liu Bei can do is to increase the protection of Chen Ziming, and at the same time keep a close eye on those clans, Liu Bei will never tolerate those who dare to attack Chen Ziming.

But Liu Bei was a little bit powerless. Even if he and Chen Ziming kept suppressing the clan and weakening the clan's strength, the clan power in Liu Bei's group was still terrifying. Various departments, officials at all levels, and clan children still had the upper hand.

The same is true in the army. After all, the clan has been prosperous since ancient times, and each has its own way of cultivating talents. The poor talents cultivated by Liu Bei alone cannot replace the clan's children.

Among other things, most of Liu Bei's chief officers, top advisers, and legion chiefs were born in clans. In this era, there are very few poor men like Guo Jia, and it is difficult to find one in a hundred years.

"Brother's letter, let me reply as soon as possible."

Yizhou has stabilized, and local governments have been established. Except for some local clans who are unwilling and play some small tricks, other clans are still interested. Yizhou is considered to be incorporated into Liu Bei's group.

Everything was on the right track, Chen Ziming originally wanted to go to the Di clan, and settle the matter of the Di clan together, and see Linzi again, but he didn't expect Liu Bei's messenger to arrive in Chengdu as soon as he had this plan.

"Then let's go back." The Di clan's affairs are not in a hurry, but they don't want to run around. Since Liu Bei sent a letter urging them to go back, there must be more important things.

After receiving Liu Bei's letter, Chen Ziming began to arrange matters in Yizhou. Huang Zhong led [-] troops to guard Yizhou. Fazheng, who passed Chen Ziming's review, was officially appointed as a military adviser by Chen Ziming. Legal official position.

Qu Yi commanded [-] soldiers and horses in Hanzhong to guard Hanzhong, Zhuge Liang was the military advisor, Zhang Xiu commanded [-] soldiers and horses to guard Liangzhou, and Tian Feng was the military advisor. In this way, Yizhou, Hanzhong, and Liangzhou are connected and can reinforce each other. , Establish a line of defense to resist Cao Cao's attack.

But now Cao Cao, like Liu Bei, is still licking his wounds and has not recovered his vitality. He should not attack on a large scale, and there will be no wars in Yizhou and other places for a while.

As for the [-] soldiers and horses of the Di tribe, they will temporarily meet with the Di tribe and wait for Liu Bei's edict. The five leaders of the Di tribe will follow Chen Ziming to Linzi, let Liu Bei assign official positions, and officially enter the Liu Bei group.

With Chen Ziming's departure, the war in Yizhou came to an end. Xia Houyuan, who was worried, was also relieved. Cao Cao also asked the [-] soldiers who were preparing to reinforce Xia Houyuan to withdraw to the original place, so as not to stimulate Chen Ziming. Cao Cao didn't want a war now. .
