Chapter 1314 Means
Pingyang Political Affairs Hall.
"My lord, this year''s martial arts lecture... well, the training camp is over..." Xun Chen was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and said hastily.
"Okay, the time is set, I''m going to finish the training..." Fei Qian said immediately.
"Wei." Xun Chen was not surprised either, and nodded in response, then saluted again, and left the Zhengshitang to deal with business.
Jiangwutang, Feiqian was only opened on a small scale before, but now, it has become a new policy, or welfare, of course, the main purpose is to strengthen Feiqian''s own control over the army.
In the Han Dynasty, sacrificial offerings and military administration were always tied for the first place, and other things could be done by others, but these two things had to be done by Fei Qian himself. Xun Chen is also aware of this point, and of course, most people with a bit of a brain are also aware of it.
The sacrificial power represents political leadership. Otherwise, why in ancient times would there be blood at every turn, holding the ears of the cow, in fact, it was not just taking the lead in killing cattle and sheep to cut a piece of meat, but in ancient times, this meant the legal status of the leader. It''s like among the clans, only the most powerful descendants can take the lead in sacrificing ancestors.
Military power is the guarantee of sacrificial power.
The emperors of all dynasties, basically, if the military power can be held, then they can stand firm.
In the past, Feiqian had a small territory and a high degree of concentration, so everything could be managed directly, and Feiqian could even make some actions to buy people''s hearts, such as **** and promoting food, personally going to the company to eat a big pot of rice, and patting ordinary soldiers The shoulders and so on, so that the soldiers at the most basic level can directly see and feel Fei Qian''s attention.
But it’s different now, from Yinshan Mountain in the north to Hanzhong in the south, if Feiqian ran back and forth, at least half a year would have passed, so under realistic conditions, Feiqian’s influence could not cover all the troops at all, especially There are local commanders and generals. To a certain extent, these people will continue to deepen their influence among the soldiers, and eventually the soldiers will only know the generals, but not the west.
Then take back the military power of these people and continue to use the tiger symbol system?
Or like many rulers, use civil servants or eunuchs to suppress?
In fact, neither is a very good strategy. After all, in the era of poor news, it is inevitable that Fei Qian must give up part of the decision-making power to the local organization, otherwise it will definitely cause procrastination and delay in transaction processing, like mobilizing twenty five Ten soldiers have to report to the central government''s regulations. In fact, while restricting the local area, it also caused some small things that could have been dealt with to eventually turn into catastrophes.
Therefore, in the end, Fei Qian adopted a plan that was proven to be effective by later generations, and relatively speaking, it would not cause resistance from local generals. He expanded the military academy and held competitions among the army in the name of the martial arts hall. There was a small competition every winter for three years. In a big competition, in addition to the military chief who commends the winners of the big competition, these soldiers will also be gathered here for one or two months of intensive training, and then some of them will enter the direct subordinates under the jurisdiction of Feiqian. Most of the rest were returned to their original places.
Adding a political commissar to the military academy, so that the influence of Fei potential among the grassroots soldiers will not be gradually weakened. At the same time, the strategy formulated in the early stage of expansion also ensures that there will not be too many obstacles in the implementation. After all, Fei Qian is now The few generals under him can generally be regarded as coming from poor families, so there are not too many private soldiers. If these generals grow up one by one, and then want to do any actions, it will inevitably touch the interests of these guys .
Fei Qian also doesn''t want to test these subordinates with benefits all the time, one or two times is fine, but if there are too many times, problems will inevitably arise. It''s not a matter of loyalty or disloyalty, but human nature. How much loyalty can this subordinate maintain if he digs a hole to test his loyalty? Will you still be interested in getting down to business?
The most important thing is that when everyone gets used to the military system with a small competition every year and a large competition every three years, they will gradually get used to the exams and competitions of other systems, and even...
Examination is never an end, but a means.
In the latent learning stage of Shi Fei, this sentence is what he hears the most every time he takes an exam, but it is only when he sits in this position that he truly understands this truth.
………………
Hedong.
The rest of the Taihang Mountains.
Tai Shici stood on a boulder, overlooking the valley.
Because of the obstruction of the Yin Mountains and the Luliang Mountains, when the Taihang Mountains extend to Hedong County, the little feet are naturally warmer. There are already many wild peach trees and wild pear trees blooming in the mountains, dotted with the valleys and hillsides. Green and verdant.
Pei Jun stood behind Tai Shici, although he was in the middle of the army formation, I don''t know if it was because Pei Jun''s body was a little thin, or because he felt that the armor was bulky and out of style, so he didn''t wear heavy armor, but just wore it under his robe. A light leather armor, not even a helmet, that''s all.
But Pei Jun looked like he wasn''t worried about his safety at all. He didn''t know if it was because he had the winning ticket or because he felt that Tai Shici next to him was strong in martial arts and absolutely safe. Anyway, he still had Yu Xing to look around, and he praised: " Wei''s really chose this place well... There is water in front and mountains in the back, the terrain is good, and the scenery is good... If you set up a banquet at a place where the mountains and rocks see the sun, you can enjoy the wind of the pines and the clear water, which is really a blessing in the world... "
"...It''s also a good feng shui for erecting a tomb..." Tai Shici seemed to dislike Pei Jun''s nagging, and said coldly, immediately cutting off Pei Jun''s reverie.
"..." Pei Jun smiled awkwardly, and stopped talking.
Under the joint suppression of Pei Jun and Tai Shici, the Wei family couldn''t make much waves at all, and the initial little momentum was quickly extinguished before it had time to pick up.
At first these gentry Haoyou in Hedong were still under Wei''s instigation, thinking that Fei Qian, General Zhengxi, was an outsider who wanted to seize their land, deprive them of their privileges, rob their women, and rob them of their wealth. People are like this, in the mood of nervousness and fear, these gentry Haoyou didn''t have time to carefully discern the loopholes in Wei Shi''s words, so they were forced to follow Wei Shi to act together.
As a result, Fei Qian, General Zhengxi, didn’t come at all, only a partial army came, and there was Wenxi’s Pei family as the leader...
As soon as Wenxi Pei arrived, he immediately said that Fei Qian, the general of Zhengxi, had no intention of destroying all the gentry in Hedong. In the eyes of General Xi, if the Wei family is moved down, most of the floating wealth will naturally be handed over, but those land, real estate and shops are naturally that...
Suddenly everyone understood.
On the one hand, there is Wei Shi, who is gone, and on the other hand, General Zhengxi, who is as imposing as a rainbow, what else can be entangled? And if you kill Wei, you don''t have to lose anything, and you may get some windfall income!
So at this moment, it is no longer General Zhengxi who wants to destroy the Wei family, but the other gentry clans who have swallowed the Wei family''s wealth, and they all want the Wei family to die.
Only the dead Wei Shi can guarantee that the swallowed property will truly become his own.
The formation is strict, with well-armored swordsmen standing in low ground, and lightly armored crossbowmen climbing up the hillside like apes, seizing the commanding heights, condescending, and ready to go.
Tai Shici patted the book, and the guard at the side immediately delivered a longbow to Tai Shici, and another guard carried two pots of arrows and placed them within Tai Shici''s reach.
"Beat the drums and persuade to surrender one last time."
"Wei!"
The cowhide drum immediately thundered, and the majestic sound of the war drum echoed in the valley. The sword and shield hand slapped the shield with a battle knife, roaring loudly, with passionate fighting spirit, while the remnants of the Wei family on the mountain were trembling and terrified...
………………
With the confirmation of the marriage between Yuan Shao and the Zhen family, the money and grain of the Zhen family also entered the North Hebei camp like flowing water, supporting the entire framework. Determined to solve this Gongsun Zan once and for all.
"Report!" A soldier bowed to the ground and reported loudly, "Zhen Xiaolian and Zhen Yao escorted the grain and grass here, please see the general!"
"Huh? Xuan!" Yuan Shao was a little surprised when he heard that, although most of the materials sent were from the Zhen family, there was no need to send Zhen Yao over, right?
"Greetings to the General!" Not long after, under the guidance of Yuan Shao''s guards, Zhen Yao entered the big tent, and respectfully paid respects to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao laughed loudly, and said boldly: "There is no need to be polite! We are all from our own family, so don''t be restrained, come and watch!"
Zhen Yao thanked Yuan Shao in a personable manner, and sat down calmly.
In terms of appearance, the Zhen family is basically not bad, after all there is such a monster as Zhen Mi. Zhen Yao has red lips, white teeth, starry eyes and bright eyebrows, even though he has been busy all the way, it seems that his color has not been reduced a bit.
After the two exchanged a few words of pleasantries, Zhen Yao gradually got to the point: "General, next time you come here, there is one more thing besides escorting food and supplies... I don''t know if I should say it or not..."
Yuan Shao twitched his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Hehe, since you are a member of your own family, why not talk about it, but it doesn''t matter!"
"Only..." Zhen Yao bowed his hands to thank, and then said slowly, "I heard that the general is recruiting warriors here, and I happen to know a few people, so I brought here along the way...to recommend to the general..."
"Oh?" Yuan Shao said with a smile, "Since that''s the case, where is the warrior? You should see it yourself!"
Zhen Yao smiled, and summoned his guards to give some instructions. After a while, three strong men came to the big tent, bowed and saluted Yuan Shao.
Zhen Yao stood up and introduced the three of them to Yuan Shao, saying their names, specialties, martial arts, etc., but when it came to the last person, Yuan Shao''s eyes could not help but move.
The last person was actually a Wuhuan man!
Originally, Yuan Shao had doubts when he saw this man''s hair, but he didn''t expect it to be true!
"It''s Wuhuan warrior?" Yuan Shao chuckled, nodded at Zhen Yao and said, "I''m interested... I never thought that the Zhen family could also recruit Wuhuan warriors..."
"Report to General...Since Liu Shijun came to Youzhou, Wuhuan has been grateful for his benevolent government..." Zhen Yao said unhurriedly, "The Gongsun thief killed Liu Shijun for no reason, and asked the general to send troops to punish him." Rebellious, so he voluntarily followed the general to avenge Liu Shijun..."
"Well...so that''s how it is..." Yuan Shao smiled slightly, narrowing his eyes, as if he was very happy, but a gleam flashed in his eyes, "If that''s the case, let''s stay! Mrs. Zhen has a heart..."
Zhen Yao bowed again in a personable manner, and then withdrew.
After Zhen Yao and the others retreated, Yuan Shao''s smile slowly disappeared.
Sunlight cut in obliquely from the opening of the big tent, dividing the whole big tent into two parts, light and shadow.
Yuan Shao is not a fool, how could he be as happy as a 200 kg child just because of Kong Piao Piao''s flattery?
Smiling is sometimes just a pretense, for everyone to save face.
Does the elder brother of the head of the Zhen family, Zhen Mi''s own brother, need to **** the grain and grass without hesitation? Could it be that the food and grass for this trip were all made of gold, silver and jade?
Obviously, Zhen Yao didn''t really want to **** this batch of grain and grass, but to send these three people to Yuan Shao.
Of course, there should be no problem with these three people, and they are naturally real warriors, or they must be stronger and braver than ordinary soldiers. There shouldn''t be any big problems with the captain, but the problem is that Yuan Shao is a great general...
Even if it is a miscellaneous lieutenant in the army, do you need the general to ask and take a look in person? If Mrs. Zhen really wants to recommend such a talent and doesn''t ask for any special care, then just send it to Yan Liangwenchou, will Yan Liangwenchou deliberately make things difficult for him?
Therefore, Zhen Yao just wanted Yuan Shao to take a look, especially to let Yuan Shao know that the Zhen family actually had contact with the Wuhuan people...
It''s giving food and grass, and giving people away. It''s nothing more than another form of courtesy before soldiers.
Especially after Xu You just started trading with the Wuhuan people...
How could Yuan Shao, who was born in an aristocratic family, not understand this method?
"Ms. Zhen...huh..." Yuan Shao was silent for a while, and finally gave an order, "Come here! Send an order to Xu Ziyuan to end Hushi and return to the North Hebei camp!"
The important thing right now is Gongsun Zan!
Everything, give way to this! Since Mrs. Zhen has expressed her intentions, let''s back off for now, and it won''t be too late to deal with it after Gongsun Zan is married!
As for Xu You...
We still need to prepare some backhands. Although we back off for now, we can’t completely let Zhen’s control. The weapons for Zhengxi are also cheap. Well, how about sending Xu You to Pingyang to buy some?
