Chapter 114: Candidates for the Prefect of Jiangxia
Since conquering Qichun, Lin Chen has become even more busy.
He had to do too many things. In addition to asking Mi Fang to contact Wushui Man, he also had to appease the local area, recruit virtuous people to serve (county officials), set up a system, etc., etc.
Of course, even if the above problems are added together, they are just trivial matters.
For Lin Chen, as long as he sets up the corresponding system, he will basically ignore many things after that.
For him, the most upsetting thing now is who should I recommend to take the title of Jiangxia Prefect!
This is the task assigned to him by Liu Bei.
Lin Chen actually wanted to shirk it. After all, in addition to being familiar with some top figures, he is really not so familiar with local talents.
But Liu Bei, who was waiting for the fish to take the bait in secret, quickly replied to him.
The content of the letter was very plain, but he used a rather sour pen to repeat the deeds of Xun Yu's recommendation of Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Zhong Yao and others.
In addition, he also praised Lu Su in the letter, saying that Lin Chen recommended him well.
Finally, Liu Bei secretly led Xiao He to chase Han Xin under the moon.
Lin Chen understood after reading it.
Liu Bei means, I regard you as Xiao He and Zhang Liang, and you are just treating me like this?
Look at Xun Yu, how good he did.
Can't Duoduo learn well?
You can recommend it boldly, even if he is just an ordinary soldier (the story of Han Xin later), I dare to reuse him.
But the problem is, you guys recommend it!
You don't recommend it, how do I know who is better to use?
It’s obvious that this is Ziyuan’s dereliction of duty. It has nothing to do with me, Liu Xuande....
After summarizing the above meaning, Lin Chen almost vomited blood and died.
How do he compare with Xun Yu? He is a famous family!
Where is someone from Talin?
Before defecting to Liu Bei, Mr. Lin almost starved to death.
He knew a powerful ghost.
But who told him to blow all the bulls out before? As soon as he spoke, there were many friends in the world, and Liu Bei believed it directly.
Then, now, Duke Xuande felt that he was OK, so he began to directly ask for someone.
Don’t you, Lin Ziyuan, claim to have many friends?
I trust you!
Before, I, Liu Bei, had nothing and was embarrassed to speak.
But now, we have the number one in the world, so don’t you recommend two to try it?
Wait for me to beg you?
Well, I, Liu Bei, directly benchmark you Lin Ziyuan against Xiao He. Isn’t that okay?
That's what happened.
After Lin Chen finished interpreting it, he felt that his head was about to crack.
To be honest, he couldn't even refuse to reply at this time.
Otherwise, he would guarantee that Liu Bei's next letter would definitely be written more explicitly, and might even have a bit of tragedy.
Who can withstand this?
Therefore, in order not to let Liu Bei send another explicit letter, he could only think about who would lead the prefect of Jiangxia while stabilizing the place and formulating the system.
"Huang Zu has an older brother who is said to be in his fifties and sixties. He has a good reputation and good health..."
"The Fei family in Jiangxia is not bad either. They were suppressed by Liu Biao and Huang Zu before, but now they can use it..."
"But, the Fei family doesn't seem to have many people with great reputations."
In the county office, Lin Chen held a list and frowned and thought about who to recommend to the title of Jiangxia Prefect.
Yes, the Huang family is also referring to it.
And the most suitable one is Huang Zu's biological brother.
Someone may ask.
You, Liu Bei and Lin Chen, are about to kill Huang Zu, and you are still thinking about using your brother. This operation is too dark. Are you afraid that Jiangxia will rebel in the future?
To be honest, you will be rebellious if you don’t need it.
Those who can ask such questions probably don’t understand what the Huang family represents.
Let's say so...
Although the current Jiangxia Huang family may not have reached the nominal level of the Song Dynasty's "Huang family in the world comes from Jiangxia, and thousands of schools of dynasties follow Jiangxia Huang", in terms of its influence on Jiangxia, it is much stronger than later generations.
At most, later generations only worship their ancestors, and even many branches may not be recognized.
What about now?
It's so awesome now.
The Huang family in Anlu alone has a population of more than 10,000, which is just the same surname and family.
As for the family slaves who give their surnames, there are even more uncountable ones.
Most other areas in Jiangxia are in this state.
The most important thing is that because they are close and separated late, everyone still recognizes each other.
Therefore, Huang's cohesion is extremely high.
In other words, unless Liu Bei killed all tens of thousands of members of the Huang clan in Jiangxia, the Huang clan should still use it.
As for whether they will take revenge?
There is no need to worry about this, because they are of the same clan and the same surname, but they are not going to fight with Liu Bei for the sake of Huang Zu.
Simply put, even if Liu Bei killed Huang Zu and used his brother to lead the prefect of Jiangxia, he would have to implement any government orders more quickly.
The same is true for the Jiangxia Fei family.
However, due to Liu Biao's suppression, Fei seemed to be very powerless.
But in fact, they are really not weak.
Otherwise, the ambitious Liu Yan would not have found a wife of Fei...
After all, being a good match these days is the only reason to get married.
It is worth mentioning that the Fei family of Jiangxia is now Liu Zhang’s mother family.
If Fei has no influence at all, is that possible?
Of course, the main reason why we only refer to the Fei family or the Huang family is that they can help Liu Bei quickly calm some areas.
After that, when the war gradually stopped, officials could be appointed at will.
Then there is no need to think about whether someone will rebel.
The most important reason why we need to consider this level now is that the person who holds power is Huang Zu.
If he couldn't hold on, he would spread some information about Liu Bei's massacre of the Huang clan...
Even if the cohesion of each family is not so high, will they unite in panic?
This is a point that has to be considered.
Otherwise, if Huang Zu really did this, then the entire Jiang Xia would completely belong to Huang Zu.
You can't kill everyone, right?
"Maybe, this is the reason why Sun Ce failed to take Jiang Xia in the original history?"
While Lin Chen was thinking, he suddenly thought of a possibility.
Although Huang Zu's current position is easy to defend but difficult to attack, for the people in Jiangdong, they are too familiar with the water battle.
It goes without saying that Sun Quan’s military ability is, anyone who comes to him can bully him, but Sun Ce can’t even take over Jiang Xia…
This is a bit weird.
And if Huang Zu kidnapped all the Huang clan members in some name, it would be very likely.
After all, Sun Quan took Huang Zu in history because he gradually grew older.
Does this mean that at that time, some of the Huang family had already begun to be unable to unite because of fighting for power and profit?
certainly.
The above is just Lin Chen’s guess. Although Sun Ce is powerful, he is not invincible.
Victory and defeat are common in military affairs.
Always win, obviously it is impossible, but always losing... that requires certain abilities.
"Forget it, no matter why he failed, but what I have to do now is to remove the possible failure factors..."
After thinking for a while, Lin Chen once again set his sights on the list.
Chapter completed!
