Chapter 245 Unification of military power (9)
Back in Wu'an City, Li Xun was undoubtedly in a very happy mood. After this battle, he not only destroyed half of Wang Chengxi's men, but also shook the minds of many people. In the battle for military power, Li Xun has undoubtedly
Gained a favorable position.
Back at the Governor's Mansion, Li Xun got off his horse, and a soldier guarding the gate quickly stepped forward to help hold the horse.
Li Xun asked: "Where is Fan Zhongyun now?"
The soldier replied: "Mr. Fan is working in the main room."
Li Xun nodded and walked into the Governor's Mansion.
"Lao Fan, I'm back."
Fan Zhongyun, who was at work, looked up and saw Li Xun coming in. He chuckled and said, "Has everything over there been done?"
Li Xun walked up to Fan Zhongyun, picked up his tea cup, drank it all in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and said: "It's almost done, there are still some finishing tasks, I'll leave Yuan He to deal with it over there."
After that, Li Xun found a seat and sat down, and asked, "I've been away for nearly a month. Nothing happened here, right?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? How can there be nothing happening in such a big state?"
"Tell me what happened."
Fan Zhongyun pointed to the two letters on the table: "I'm too lazy to tell you, just read it yourself."
Li Xun glanced at Fan Zhongyun with a smile. During the time he left, everything was on his shoulders. He must have been very tired, otherwise Fan Zhongyun would not have looked down upon him so well.
Naturally, the relationship between the two will not change in any way because of this small emotional fluctuation. Li Xun took the letter over.
The first letter was left by You Min, and she left after all.
After Li Xun read the letter, he was silent for a moment without saying anything. He put the letter into his arms and then read another letter. The second letter was written by Liu Xie.
Although Li Xun arrived in Wuzhou, his contact with Fengjing has never been broken. This contact point is Liu Xie. Every month, he will send a letter detailing what has happened in the capital in recent times. Although
As far as Liu Xie's current status and ability are concerned, he cannot detect any secret information, but through him, Li Xun can at least have a general understanding of the current trends in the court, so that he will not be confused because he is thousands of miles away.
I am blind and know nothing about the situation in Fengjing.
After reading the letter, Li Xun had a look of shock on his face. Liu Xie said in the letter that Liu Zhongyuan, the Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall, wrote to Zhao Zhi a few months ago, suggesting that a large number of poor people without land be selected from the pass and moved to Longyou to restart the business.
The land equalization system, Liu Zhongyuan's petition, was supported by Qin Anming, Liu Guanghui and others. Zhao Zhi had put this matter in the court and discussed it with the courtiers.
Li Xun looked at Fan Zhongyun and said: "It seems that the imperial court is going to make a big move against Longyou."
Fan Zhongyun nodded and said: "Guan Nei is the place with the most densely populated people in the world, but the land is in the hands of a few people, so there is no land to cultivate, and there are many extremely poor people. However, here in Longyou, it is just the opposite, with few people.
The territory is vast, and by moving some of the people in the pass here, the two can complement each other, which is a good thing."
Li Xun said: "Now that Longyou has returned to the Jin Dynasty, Han people are in the minority among the people in the territory. This is very detrimental to the overall situation of Longyou. Moving Han people to Longyou and diluting the foreign people will not only greatly slow down the life in the pass.
Pressure can also promote the integration of Longyou's ethnic groups. If the imperial court can really make up its mind and agree with Liu Zhongyuan's opinion, it will be a great good thing for the country and the people."
Fan Zhongyun clapped his hands and praised: "What you said is very reasonable and coincides with my point of view."
"Do you think Liu Zhongyuan's suggestion is likely to be passed?"
Fan Zhongyun smiled and said: "As you said, this is a good thing for the country and the people, so what reason does the court have to refuse?"
Li Xun thought for a moment, and then said: "In this way, we have to start preparations in advance."
Once a large number of Han people from the Central Plains migrate to Longyou, the workload of housing, land, food, etc. will be huge and complicated. If we are not prepared in advance, big problems will occur.
Fan Zhongyun said with a smile: "I have looked for Zhou Qing and talked with him. Zhou Qing agrees very much with this matter and has ordered his officials to start measuring the land and repairing houses in the city."
Li Xun nodded and said with a smile: "Zhou Qing is not good as a person, but he is quite good as an official."
Fan Zhongyun gave Li Xun a strange look and said, "Zhou Qing said the same thing about you."
Hearing this, Li Xun raised his head and laughed: "That's not bad. At least in Zhou Qing's eyes, I'm not worthless, which is already rare."
The two chatted for a while. Li Xun had just returned from the road and was a little tired. He said goodbye to Fan Zhongyun, took a good shower, and went back to his room to sleep.
Ten days passed quickly in a mixture of dullness and busyness.
In Wuzhou today, some people are happy and some are worried.
Wu Heng, for example, never thought that he would just go back to Fengjing and then return to Wuzhou. The situation here has changed tremendously. Yuan He bowed to Li Xun and You Chong, who had always been neutral,
There is also an obvious gesture of moving closer to Li Xun. Even Gan Tuyuan, who has always been very close to him, is now showing signs of alienating himself. Li Xun convened several general meetings in the name of the Governor's Mansion. Gan Tuyuan
Yuan Du was very positive and went to the Governor's Mansion on time. His attitude towards Li Xun had changed greatly from before.
Now, only Wang Chengxi is still firmly standing on Wu Heng's side, but the latter, even he himself is a little overwhelmed now. With Yu Yanhui being transferred to Shazhou Defense Envoy, Wang Chengxi was taken away.
Half of the soldiers and horses in Chengxi's hands, although the two did not formally break up, everyone knew that Yu Yanhui had actually turned to Li Xun. Any order given by Wang Chengxi, Yu Yanhui would definitely follow.
I won't listen anymore.
Wang Chengxi was originally the one with the most troops and the strongest strength among the generals in Wuzhou, but as Yu Yanhui took 4,000 people to Shazhou, including 2,000 of his own old subordinates
, Wang Chengxi once intended to remedy the situation. He secretly wrote to Yu Yanhui's old subordinates in the army, asking them to take his two thousand veterans back to Wuzhou. However, in response to Wang Chengxi's order, these old men who he had been most sincere to
This time, my subordinates chose to remain silent.
Wang Chengxi's thinking was too simple. Yu Yanhui led four thousand soldiers and horses to garrison Shazhou. This was an official order from the imperial court. Without the order from the imperial court and the Ministry of War, just relying on Wang Chengxi's words, these people would be
Forcibly returning to Wuzhou with troops was tantamount to rebellion. No matter how sincere they were to Wang Chengxi, they had to think twice when it came to their own life and death. Moreover, Li Xun had already prepared for Wang Chengxi's meeting.
To do this, I told several of Wang Chengxi's old subordinates in advance that through Wang Renzhi's hand, the documents asking for merit have been submitted to the court, and their official positions will be promoted by then. After comparing the two, what can be done?
