Section 52 Adjustment

March to May of 797 in the Gregorian calendar was both the busiest and the most relaxed and leisurely period when Wufeng felt the most relaxed and leisurely. On the one hand, the more than a year of continuous expeditions made him not have a short and stable time to use for systematic research and arrangements in government affairs. A large number of accumulated affairs need to be handled and resolved urgently. Although Xiao Tang and Su Qin were the main players, many things still need to be reviewed by him before they can be finalized. His daily schedule was almost airtight, and the reception activities and visits started from the morning of getting up.

The evening banquet, cocktail party arrangements have their own different meanings and purposes, making it rare for Wufeng to find a little time for his own. On the other hand, the large-scale military operation has ended. Wufeng believes that it will indeed take some time to get the troops to get the necessary rest and supplements. Of course, the small-scale rebellion of the Western Regions and the unexpected acquisition of Tianshui Prefecture are nothing. Wufeng does not want to intervene in this regard. He believes that the ability of his subordinates is enough to solve these problems that are difficult to see what impact it will have.

The negotiations with the countries in the Western Regions were carried out smoothly with Su Qin's helm and Wang Liao's specific operations. Occasionally, some minor accidents and problems were also invisible under Wang Liao's sophisticated experience and Su Qin's smooth means. The resistance of the countries in the Western Regions was quickly destroyed under Wufeng's tough iron-blooded policy. Those rebels who dared to challenge Li Wufeng's authority were learned profound lessons. With the cooperation of the Huanfeng Sect, the people of the Security Bureau's actions in the Western Regions were also extremely smooth, and the kindness and power were fully demonstrated in the countries in the Western Regions. Wusun and Kuche had completely surrendered, and Beiga and Gaochang were also unsatisfied. Only Loulan was already a little rebellious. However, under the pressure of the army, they had to put down their arrogant airs for the survival of the people, but this also made Wufeng unable to fully rest assured, and it was very necessary to retain a certain army to suppress.

Cui Wenxiu's Mot Cavalry Training Plan carried out in the Mott territory achieved satisfactory results. These guys who were born riders had such a lot of problems in discipline. The uneven combat effectiveness was also a major flaw. Cui Wenxiu relied on the First Cavalry Division of the Tengger Legion to carry out a large-scale streamlining and elimination action against the Mott cavalry. A large number of soldiers who were too old and unwilling to serve had the opportunity to return home. The remaining were young and strong soldiers, and a group of young people with relatively open minds were sent to the short-term officer training class specially opened by the Northwest Military Academy, while the soldiers were forced to train and study tactical and discipline. These achieved significant results. When May 697 passed, and when three months of officer training and intensive soldiers were over, the Mott Autonomous Defense Force had completed the basic training task and achieved the expected goals.

Wufeng made the first major adjustment after discussing with Xiao Tang. James stepped down as the post of Jinzhou City Shou, served as the important position of Director of the Northwest Finance Department, and also served as the position of President of the Northwest Bank in the preparation stage. He held full control of the financial and financial power of Northwest. Yang Zhengbin, the governor of Bonan City Shou, was appointed as the director of the Northwest Economic Development Department, and Su Minshun served as the important position of Director of the Northwest Construction Department, responsible for the urban planning, municipal infrastructure and road traffic construction of the entire Northwest. The three are from Emperors.

The talented students of the National University left the local government at the Northwest Prefecture level and collectively entered the Northwest senior management, marking the basic formation of the university department. In the book "A Discussion on the Formation of the Imperial Power" written by Montesquieu, a famous political scientist in the glorious empire in the later generations, it was written: "Based on the Significance of the Three Talents from the Tanghe Empire University, James, Yang Zhengbin and Su Minshun, entered the important institutions under the Northwest Military and Political Governor's Office at that time, marking that an emerging force in the Northwest regime has gradually taken shape and has exerted an increasing influence."

Of course, the appointments of James and Yang Zhengbin caused a certain range of reactions. Su Minshun was the first group of old people in the government departments to follow Wufeng to the northwest, and he had a close relationship with Wufeng in the imperial capital, so no one opposed it. However, James and Yang Zhengbin were suddenly promoted to the core class of the northwest, but some important objections were from military generals, who believed that the two had too shallow qualifications and were promoted too fast. The reason for the inside was that the two were against the rapid expansion of the northwest army in the early days. Fortunately, Wufeng had clear orders, and the military and political cooperation was mutual but not subordinate to each other. Both sides were only responsible to their superiors and were not allowed to interfere with matters that did not fall within their jurisdiction. Therefore, a group of military generals could only discuss in private, but no one dared to question on formal occasions.

Su Qin was appointed as the newly established Director of the External Liaison Office and also served as the Deputy Director of the Administrative Office. The External Liaison Office is actually just a flexible title of the Foreign Affairs Office. Since diplomatic powers are owned by the Central Committee of the Empire, local administrative agencies have no right to set up diplomatic departments at all. However, in the special geographical location and complex environment of the northwest, it is urgent to establish a department responsible for diplomatic affairs. Therefore, Wufeng could only set up a half-hidden new department, a half-hidden department, with Su Qin fully responsible for the rectification.

In the northwest, including Northern Luzon, Western Regions, Mott and even Zha people, Wang Liao was appointed as the deputy director of the Foreign Liaison Office to assist Su Qin in handling diplomatic affairs. Su Qin and Wang Liao did not cause dissatisfaction like the appointments of James and Yang Zhengbin. Instead, the military welcomed and supported the appointments of both of them. Perhaps the tough stances that Su Qin and Wang Liao had shown in foreign policy were quite consistent with the appetites of military generals, so this also made Wu Feng feel a little uncomfortable.

The vacant candidates for the city guard also made Xiao Tang and Wufeng feel a headache. For example, Jinzhou is the financial and taxation government in the northwest. Guide and Bonan have just embarked on the track of economic growth. Taking away the three people will inevitably affect the economic development of the three governments. After Wufeng and Xiao Tang and Zhong Wenjing had a heart-to-heart talk with Zhong Wenjing, Zhong Wenjing finally accepted Wufeng's trust and served as the acting city guard of Xikang Palace. Although he was an agent city guard, Wufeng never planned to change anything like this appointment. The approval documents reported to the Central Administration of the Empire were also in the name of the Guanxi County County Governor's Office, but this was just a cover. The officials of Guanxi County were already dead and surrendered as the time when the Taiping Church swept the entire county, or their whereabouts were unknown. Even the seal of the Guanxi County Governor's Office was Wufeng arranged for people to temporarily imitate seal carvings.

Like Lu Long, Longdong and Tianshui Prefectures, there is a need to arrange the city guards of the three prefectures. Wufeng never planned to hand over the city guards of these three prefectures to the Central Committee of the Empire. In his opinion, since he spent a lot of money to regain it, he must be firmly controlled in his own hands. Mi Feng's arrangement made Wufeng think a lot. He was not a qualified city guard. Even Mifeng himself admitted that he was more suitable for military life. It was indeed difficult to get him to serve as the city guard.

Fortunately, Gu Liangchen has been following Mi Feng for a while, and most of the daily government affairs of Lulong Mansion in Lulong Mansion were handed over to Gu Liangchen. When Wufeng was interested in adjusting the position of Lulong City guard, Mifeng took the initiative to recommend Gu Liangchen to replace his own level as the guard of Lulong City, and Wufeng followed the flow and accomplished Mi Feng. Mi Feng was also appointed by Wufeng as a member of the Northwest Military Staff Headquarters and a judge of the Northwest Military Affairs Army, responsible for the military law supervision and military police work of the entire Northwest Army.

The candidate for the guardian of Longdong City has been undecided. Xiao Tang recommended He Jing, a famous scholar who came after Su Qin lobbying in the East China Sea in Jiangnan. He Jing was originally a businessman, but in his generation, his father felt that the merchant class was difficult to make a name for himself, so he intended to let him go into the career. He graduated from the famous private school in Jiangnan, Wenhua Academy, and later traveled across the country to meet Su Qin. When Su Qin was on a mission to Jiangnan, he met him and another talented man in Pengcheng, Donghai, Wang Zongxi. After a while, he learned that Su Qin is now an official in the northwest, which also aroused the unlimited feelings of the two. They were all from common people. Although they were famous for a long time, they were still difficult to be valued. He Jing was only a general under the Donghai County Governor's Office.

The staff member, while Wang Zongxi was even more depressed. He was just a regular text posting in Jinling Mansion. Su Qin did not lobby hard when he got this opportunity. After several talks, both of them were intentional and agreed to Su Qin's invitation. Shortly after Su Qin returned west, the two came to the northwest to understand the situation under the name of travel. Seeing that the northwest was full of vitality, the two were willing to stay and temporarily helped in the Economic Development Agency and the Administrative Office respectively. Both of them had stayed in the administrative department and were very adept at handling ordinary affairs. Especially the efficiency and integrity of the northwest made them admire them. Their performances were also recognized by their colleagues and superiors, especially Xiao Tang and others.

However, Wufeng was more cautious about the issue of Longdong. Taiping Cult stayed here for a long time, and this was also a region with a relatively large power in Taiping Cult. Although He Jing was quite capable, he was not familiar with the situation in the northwest and did not have a deep understanding of Taiping Cult. Therefore, he rejected Xiao Tang's proposal and placed He Jing in Bonan Prefecture, which was already relatively stable, as the position of Chengguan. Longdong Prefecture City Guard Wufeng finally decided to select a capable candidate from the army and leave the military system to serve as the Chengguan.
