Chapter 108 Hanoi Administration
Chapter 100: Hanoi Administration
After Yuan Mai arrived in Yecheng, he made a list of Anmin and appointed Tian Feng as the prefect of the lieutenant as General Fenwu.
As for why Tian Feng was asked to be the prefect, rather than being the prefect himself. Yuan Mai had his own ideas. First of all, he was not an independent team, and he also had his father Yuan Shao on it. He was proclaimed as the prefect without the title of his lord, which was suspected of rebellion.
It would be different to let Tian Feng be the prefect. In the proclamation, he could say that Tian Feng tried his best to refuse, and he forced the burden to his shoulders. In this way, the nature would change, from taking the initiative to compete for the prefect of Hanoi to no one wanting to take over this stall. Tian Feng was finally pushed to the position of prefect was a helpless move.
Since Yuan Mai was awarded the "Golden Whip", Tian Feng has been determined to do his best to assist Yuan Mai. In the past month, Tian Feng has done his best to provide advice for Yuan Mai's development, so Yuan Mai has absolute trust in Tian Feng.
Moreover, in the current team, only Qu Yi and Tian Feng have the qualifications to serve as prefect. Others, such as Hao Zhao, Wang Shuang, Qian Zhao, etc., who participated in the Yuan family, and rashly appointed as prefect will definitely be difficult to convince the public, and Yuan Shao will not agree. Therefore, after repeated weighing, Yuan Mai chose Tian Feng and pushed him to the position of prefect.
In order to guard against Yuan Shao's appointment of the prefect, he helped others make wedding dresses. Yuan Mai followed Tian Feng's advice and appointed all the official positions below the prefect. He served as the county chief lieutenant. When he returned from Shangdang, he commanded 5,000 troops to station in Hanoi. He took the first responsibility to protect the city of Hanoi. Tian Choo was appointed as the chief lieutenant, assisting Tian Feng in handling government affairs and drafting the manifesto.
In addition, all the positions of Bo Cao, Gong Cao, Bing Cao, Dian Xue were appointed by their own people, and even all the county magistrates of the 18 counties under Hanoi were replaced with their own people. In short, everything Yuan Mai did was to ensure his absolute dominance in Hanoi. Even if Yuan Shao really changed his prefect, he could still be underestimated by the arrangement he made now.
Hanoi County is north of the Yellow River, across the river from Luoyang. Cao Cao appointed the general Cao Ren and the Governor of Sili. There were about 20,000 Cao troops stationed in the entire Henan. In order to avoid harassment by Cao's army, Yuan Mai ordered Yu Gu and Li Sheng and Xue Qin to lead 3,000 troops to guard Mengjin on the bank of the Yellow River to prevent Cao's army from entering and attacking him.
After having the territory in his hand, Yuan Mai realized the lack of talents in his hands. After such an arrangement, there was really not enough manpower. He remembered Wang Ling, the magistrate of Mayi County. So he wrote a letter and sent an envoy who could speak and speak to meet Wang Ling north and invited him to come to Hanoi to be the county magistrate.
If the status of the Hanoi County Magistrate is compared with that of Mayi County Magistrate, and the position in the 21st century is compared, it is like one is the mayor of a prefecture-level city and the other is the county party secretary. If he can jump from the county party secretary to the mayor, Yuan Mai probably Wang Ling would agree. Besides, he gets along well with him, so he should not refuse.
After making personnel arrangements, Yuan Mai considered the issue of military strength. During the Northern Expedition to Dai County, after the development of the whole line, the team changed from 10,000 troops to 17,000 horses, and merged Qu Yi's Yanmen soldiers. When he went south to Shangdang, the number of people changed to 32,000. [Five thousand people were left to garrison, so the merged Yanmen soldiers was 15,000.]
In the Battle of Shangdang, the 32,000 team lost more than 2,000 people, and then distributed them to Zhang He with 7,000 troops, with 23,000 troops remaining. After this division of troops, there were only more than 10,000 troops in his hand. This made Yuan Mai feel that his troops were insufficient, so he adopted Tian Feng's suggestion and recruited soldiers in the counties of various counties in Hanoi.
Although Hanoi is vast and there are eighteen county towns alone, years of wars have caused a sharp decline in the population. The average population of each county is about 20,000. With the people of the county town, the number of people in Hanoi county is about 400,000. After a few days of recruitment, only more than 3,000 people were recruited. Yuan Mai transferred these new troops to Hao Zhao's men and ordered him to practice every day. He continued to send soldiers to recruit another 5,000 soldiers.
After Yuan Mai's manifesto arrived in Yecheng quickly, Yuan Shao was shocked and angry at Cao Cao. Unexpectedly, Cao Aman, who grew up with him, finally extended his tentacles to his territory. Although Zhang Yang did not belong to him directly, but was dependent on his name, Hanoi's reputation was his territory after all. Cao Aman dared to grab the territory, which was really bold!
It turns out that one mountain cannot withstand two tigers. It seems that the war between him and Cao Cao is inevitable. Let the war decide who is the overlord of the northern land. Since then, Yuan Shao has the intention to attack Cao Cao and ordered the prefects of the county in various places to recruit soldiers, prepare for a big battle.
After this Hanoi battle, Yuan Shao did not dare to be careless. He changed his appointments to Yuan Mai and Qu Yi, and asked them to station troops in Hanoi to fight against Cao Cao's general Cao Ren to prevent Cao army from entering. Then he adopted Shen Pei's words and ordered the general Yan Liang to raise 50,000 troops to meet Han Meng and Gao Lan on the northern front line to launch a small-scale attack on Yi Jing, harassing and consuming Gongsun Zan's strength. When the opportunity is mature, he will personally lead a large army to kill Gongsun Zan.
Yuan Mai received the manifesto and was naturally extremely happy. He could finally develop his territory. This was much better than going to Yijing to fight. At present, the most important thing for him is to recuperate and strengthen his strength. This is undoubtedly the best opportunity.
After several days of busy life, Yuan Mai was already a little tired. He was patrolling with Tian Feng this day. The fast horse report said that Qian Zhao had already received two thousand war horses from the Huns and two beauties. He was on his way to Hanoi and would probably arrive in half an hour to get down from Hanoi.
"Oh, it's so good, haha!"
Yuan Mai laughed loudly when he heard this. Although he said righteousness and passionately to Tian Feng that day, beauties are always prone to make men moved, and no one minds fighting with beauties all day long. What's more, even if he cannot touch her words due to Cai Yan's reputation, he was the number one beauty in the Huns, known as the "flower of the grassland", who was known as the "flower of the grassland", was his prey.
For the Hun women, I don’t have to tell her any etiquette, let alone the matchmaker’s words. I just want to do whatever I want. In one sentence, I say "I am the peddler, and he is the fish." If I want to kill or scrape it, I don’t follow my own wishes? Of course, Yuan Mai is not such a cruel person. For the beautiful Hun’s number one beauty, I still have to keep a warm bed!
Thinking of this, Yuan Mai's inner tide was ignited. As a normal man, he has been in this world for nearly half a year. Apart from teasing Zhen Mi in the tent that time, he has never had any skin relationship with women, let alone "that incident". This time he finally has a partner to vent his desire, which is really great!
"Haha...Mr. Yuanhao, please be busy first, I'll go out of the city and take a look!"
Yuan Mai laughed loudly, turned over and greeted Zhou Cang, "Yuan Fu, let's go and see how beautiful this number one beauty of the Huns is?"
The sound of horse hooves was so loud that dozens of riders followed, and a group of people drove out of the city. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
