Chapter 959 Dispatch inside and outside

With the formulation and implementation of various political orders between North Korea and China, the influence is also rapidly spreading to all sides. Some of the more profound military and political reforms may take some time to show results, but those more intuitive personnel adjustments will receive feedback quickly.

Several high-ranking Zhuguo officials in the DPRK were punished and even died. The governors of the prefectures and counties who had been waiting on the sidelines and refused to join the DPRK suddenly lost their confidence. For example, He Lianda, the governor of Longzhou, and others They reported to the court one after another and resigned for various reasons.

Of course Li Tai would not refuse this. If the opposition and resistance from local states and counties were too fierce, he might slow down and gradually strengthen his control over the local areas, but now there is no need.

Although he has only just entered power, he has also accumulated considerable influence at the local level.

As the core of the Western Wei Dynasty, the Guanzhong Plain was also the place where Li Tai first sought a foothold when he came to the Western Wei Dynasty. He established a profound influence centered on Shang Yuan very early, which was by no means inferior to any of the Guanzhong clan. Not to mention that with the establishment of the twelve hussar military mansions, he will have more direct and powerful control over the Guanzhong area.

The northern Shaanxi area in the Guanzhong Plain is also the area where Li Tai began to study very early. Although Li Tai of Xiazhou, the real military center in this region, has never been involved, the construction of a series of farming facilities in northern Shaanxi and the co-optation and governance of the local Jihu tribe have also given the real say in northern Shaanxi. Li Tai is in the hands of his confidants.

On the Longyou side, there are both Dugu Xin's personnel legacy, such as Shi Ning and other border town officials, and the business system established by Li Tai as soon as the Hexi Corridor was connected. Moreover, most of Longyou's disciples who followed Li Taidong have now become the backbone of Li Tai's command, so Longyou will also not resist the new hegemony.

As for the area in western Henan east of Tongguan, local generals and volunteers such as Han Xiong, Chen Xin, and Wei Fabao had established deep friendships as early as when Li Tai led his troops several times in and out of Heluo. Instead of resisting, they would enthusiastically support Li Tai in taking charge of the government.

Hanzhong in the south and the vast area in the southeast were originally opened up and conquered by Li Tai himself. He had followed him on the opposite side of the Chinese and Foreign Palaces before he entered the imperial court, and now he has become his most loyal loyalist. Fans!

Therefore, as Li Tai's authority in the court was established, there was no problem that government orders could not reach the place smoothly.

Even if there are some local shepherds who are hesitant in their attitudes due to various reasons, these are all their own problems, but they cannot stop the evolution of the general trend. Being able to detect it in time and resign directly is a wise choice for them. If the stalemate continues, the opportunity for correction will soon be lost.

In the final analysis, as Li Tai's external power grew stronger, even the Chinese and Foreign Governments were no longer able to suppress him, and it became even less likely that there would be any local forces capable of checking him. Even the previous Director Yu Wen only had some possibility of balancing him in theory. As for how effective it would actually be, it's hard to say.

Therefore, when Helianda and others' resignation letter was sent to the court, Li Tai immediately approved it and appointed Huangfu Mu as the governor of Longzhou, Wang Yue as the governor of Nanqi Prefecture, etc., and immediately set off for the state. Handover of affairs.

In addition to these special areas, Li Tai also made a series of changes in local personnel under the entire Western Wei Dynasty. First of all, all the offices previously established were cancelled. From then on, the highest level of local administration was the General Administration Office.

Now that he has entered the court, of course someone from Xiangyang needs to take over, so the original administrative structure of Shannan Road has been adjusted again.

After the Shannan Daoxingtai was abolished, the Xiangzhou General Administration Office was established in Xiangyang to manage the Han River Basin east of Xingzhou and the Suilu area east of Han Dynasty. The General Manager's Office of Jingzhou established in Rangcheng was abolished and replaced by Dengzhou. The Mianbei counties, including Dengzhou, were under the direct management of the Prime Minister's Office, and there was no longer a General Manager's Office.

The General Administration Office of Jiangling was changed to the General Administration Office of Jingzhou, the General Administration Office of Anzhou was abolished, and the General Administration Office of Yingzhou was established in Jiangxia. This is because after Li Tai came to the court, the military forces originally concentrated on Shannan Road also needed to be decentralized to a certain extent, so as to facilitate military deployment and operations on the border.

After weighing the newly established Xiangzhou General Manager's Office in Xiangyang, Li Tai decided to let his second brother Li Chao serve as the General Manager of Xiangzhou and stay in Xiangyang instead of himself.

Xiangyang itself has an outstanding geographical location, and it has been the military and political center of Shannan Road before Li Tai entered the court. In addition to its actual value, it also has a symbolic meaning.

Therefore, the choice of candidates to stay should not be casual. Although Li Chao was obsessed with academics and lacked military and political talents, letting him stay in Xiangyang did not expect him to work hard to carry out actual governance. Real local governance is the responsibility of Chang Sun Jian and other former Xingtai officials. Li Chao only needs to stay in Xiangyang as a representative of Li Tai.

There is also a relatively special place in Shuzhong. The geographical environment in Shuzhong is too closed, and it also fully has the objective conditions for a separate regime. Therefore, it must be someone completely trusted by the court to be in charge.

For the former Yuwen Taiba Mansion, the current Yizhou General Manager Yu Wengui is certainly trustworthy. But this may not be the case for Li Tai. Although Yu Wengui had friendly exchanges and cooperation with Shannan Province when he was the governor of Yizhou, it was still far from handing over such a large area of ​​Yizhou to Yu Wengui for long-term management. Far from enough.

Even if Li Tai is arrogant, would Yu Wengui feel that the court is at ease with him? Once this kind of mutual suspicion arises, the actions will be deformed and eventually become out of control.

Therefore, when Li Tai entered the court a few years ago, Yu Wengui also sent his son Yuwenshan to the court, expressing to him that he hoped that the court would send someone to succeed him.

If it were someone else or somewhere else, such a statement might still have some tentative meaning.

But Yu Wengui himself is not from Bashu. His previous appointment as the general manager of Yizhou was also a rescue mission. And although Sichuan is said to be closed now, Li Tai also has a profound influence there, especially in the Bazhong area. If Yu Wengui If you really have the idea of ​​separatist rule in Shu, you may have to face a situation where barbarians besiege the Chengdu Plain.

Therefore, Li Tai agreed to Yu Wengui's request after thinking about it. He called Yu Wengui into the court to serve as his prime minister's office, and Li Pei, the former general manager of Jingzhou, was transferred to the general manager of Yizhou to replace Yu Wengui. Yu Wengui's His son Yu Wenshan was appointed as the governor's assistant to Li Pei.

The internal situation in Longyou is becoming more and more stable, and the control of the Hexi Corridor is gradually strengthening. The conflict with Tuyuhun, which is entrenched in Qinghai, based on geographical and commercial interests is becoming more and more intense, and foreign diseases have intensified.

Therefore, after the removal of Longyou Xingtai, Li Tai did not retain the Qinzhou General Manager's Office, but added the Liangzhou General Manager's Office and made Liangzhou Governor Shi Ning the Liangzhou General Manager, making Liangzhou the new Longyou military center in order to resist and counterattack Tuyuhun, the formidable enemy on the border.

As for Qinzhou, the original military and political center of Longyou, it only retains the administrative level of the governor's office, and uses his cousin Li Pi, who has served in Longyou for several years, as the governor of Qinzhou to continue to protect Longyou's trade. .

Next is northern Shaanxi. Although Li Tai has been studying this area a lot, and his confidants like Li Yantou have been here for a long time, but because the Chinese and foreign government did not give them a legitimate control qualification before, all the people in northern Shaanxi The personnel arrangements are relatively fragmented and not outstanding enough, and lack operational efficiency.

Now that Li Tai is in charge of the Bafu, he will establish northern Shaanxi as an important border town in the north. Centered on Yanzhou, which was restructured from the former Dongxia Prefecture, the Yanzhou General Administration Office will be established to manage the military and political resources in northern Shaanxi and provide a basis for further economic development. Skip the Loop and lay a foundation.

Although Hetao theoretically belongs to the territory of the Western Wei Dynasty, in fact, no effective rule has been established. Only some nomadic tribes accept the officialdom of the Western Wei Dynasty. If you want to carry out actual control and management, you need an advanced base that can continuously invest people and materials.

As for the newly established general manager of Yanzhou, Li Tai decided to appoint Yang Zhong after some consideration, and Cui Quan continued to serve as the governor of Suizhou and served as the governor of Yanzhou. As for Li Yantou, Li Dao, Mao Shijian and others, they returned to the court and served as governors of the Hussar Mansion.

In the next period of time, Li Tai will of course continue to establish and improve the military system in the center of Bafu, so some of his trusted generals who have been appointed outside will gradually enter the court, and some experienced generals will leave the town.

For example, Liang Shiyan, who was in charge of Jiangling, also wanted to return to the court, and Li Mu was appointed as the general manager of Jingzhou. Li Yunxin of Jiangxia in Yingzhou returned to the court together, and Douluning, who returned to the court from Longyou, became the general manager of Yingzhou.

Of course, this also has the intention of leaving the core generals of the former Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office to all directions and preventing them from gathering together. However, it also hopes that their rich military experience can be put to greater use in new positions and new places to create more glorious military exploits.

At the banquet to see off the new governor of Yingzhou, Dou Luning, Li Tai personally held a wine glass and toasted to Dou Luning: "In the old days, Guanlong was in turmoil. The Duke and others entered the pass without hesitation and bravery, defeated the rebels, and restored the world. Get peace. Nowadays, the rivers in the southern region are dangerous, and there are still stubborn enemies who are still defending their positions and resisting the king's orders. It is especially necessary for generals to stop them. Otherwise, I will not be able to sleep peacefully in the pass, and the world will be insignificant!"

Douluning also stood up quickly and responded: "Tang Gong's majesty and strength have long been famous throughout the world. Fortunately, I will not give up my humble position and have the merits. I will do my best to live up to Tang Gong's reputation!"
