A Clash of Gods Chapter 1201: Looking northwest
Of course, the vast northwestern part of the country will not be obsessed with the Great Chu Empire because of a Chu army occupying Xianyang. This is clearer than anyone else.
The common people may not care who the person sitting on the throne is, but they absolutely care whether they and their families can eat enough. It is never the force that allows people to surrender from their hearts, but that they can dress and eat without food. worry.
Qining knows that he has absolutely no ability to govern the entire northwest, and he can never let the people of the northwest worry about food and clothing in a short time.
An important purpose of Chu State to lay the Northwest is to use the Northwest to form a threat of force against the North Han, so it is impossible for the Northwest to put the horse back to the South Mountain.
However, Qi Ning knew that in order to prevent major turmoil in the northwest, two forces must be seized. One is the local noble force in the northwest, and the other is, of course, the bureaucracy that specifically handles the affairs of the northwest.
In these two forces, Qi Ning spent a lot of thought.
Qining didn’t lose his faith. The Chu ban was lifted less than five days after the Chu army took control of Xianyang, and the people in the city could move from their childhood.
Before that, Qi Ning naturally let the troops on hand control some of the most critical places in Xianyang, such as warehouses, such as city gates.
The public security in the city has always been maintained by Xianyang Fu Yin. Qi Ning specially received Xianyang Fu Yin. For his sincerity in defending the country, the Xianyang Fu Yin is grateful to Dade. He naturally tries his best to assist the Chu army to maintain Xianyang. The order of the government, and the government officials under Yin of Xianyang Prefecture did not change anything. Everything is still the same as before. These government officials did not lose their jobs because of the change of the flag at the head of the city.
When Chu Jun entered the city, everyone was worried about his family’s lives, and Chu Junqiu didn’t commit any crimes or even about four chapters of the law. This made the atmosphere of panic in the Xianyang city gradually disappear, and many people began to worry about their livelihoods, especially Those who previously worked as officials in Xianyang, these people lived with salaries, and now the Chu people are coming, many people naturally feel that the Chu people can never continue to use the officials of the Northern Han Dynasty, without public office, this life is also It's gone.
Which knows that the little country official not only called the officials, let them choose to stay, and retained their official positions for them, but even the small officials who were on duty in various government offices, the little country official gave clear words, as long as he was willing If they continue to be on business, they will still be able to maintain their status quo, and the government will still distribute them to them.
Qing Ning really didn’t have to worry about not being able to pay his salary. In the final analysis, he still lost Qu’s father and son. The Chu army entered the city. The first thing to control was the Zhenxi General Mansion. Duan Canghai also ordered the blockade as soon as possible. General Palace, no one is allowed to enter without permission. After Qining entered the city, he began to count the objects of General Palace. This is not enough. When the details of the items were placed in front of Qining, Qining took a breath. .
At the beginning of the Chu Kingdom’s inspection of the Huainan King’s mansion, he seized a large amount of money and treasures, and opened the eyes to Qi Ning. After the general’s financial list came out, Qi Ning thought that Huainan King was a little witch compared to Qu’s father and son. See Big Witch.
Whether it is gold and silver jewelry stored in the warehouse, or antique calligraphy and painting, it is really a huge number of sweating cows, and the number is huge. Even Duan Canghai and other people were shocked. The first thought of everyone is that the Qu family and son are in Northwest is so greedy to accumulate wealth, but it can still sit here for more than ten years, that is really not small.
With such a huge wealth, it is really easy to support the normal operation of government offices at all levels in the Northwest. Moreover, a huge warehouse was built in Xianyang. At the time, Qu Yuan Gu proudly claimed that even if Xianyang City was surrounded for three years and five years, The grain in the warehouse is also sufficient for the up and down of the city. After seeing the grain in the warehouse with his own eyes, Qi Ning realized that Qu Yuangu was really not too exaggerated.
In addition to a large amount of wealth and food, Xianyang also has a special clerk of the household ministry, and there are many deposits in the library. These deposits are originally used to maintain the operation of the government at all levels in the northwest. The silver on hand is sufficient to protect the salaries of the officials at all levels in the northwest.
Qining gave the Northwest officials the right to choose. After two days, the roster was sent up. Most of the officials were natives of the Northwest. Naturally, it is impossible to enter the customs and run to Luoyang at this time, and everyone knows, In the chaos in Guanguan today, not to mention that the Chu and Dongqi armies launched an offensive against the Northern Han Dynasty, only the Northern Han princes battled to form a regiment. At this time, they ran to Guanhan and committed suicide. There is no difference, so apart from the few officials who want to enter the customs, most of them want to stay and serve for Chu.
The few officials, apart from the fact that they were truly loyal to the Northern Han Dynasty, most of them were restless because their family members were in Guan.
Qing Ning was confident and not only sent people to **** the officials who were going to the customs to Tongguan, but each person also issued a special entanglement. This move was very popular, and soon spread throughout the city of Xianyang.
The roster left by Hongmen Road naturally became a magic weapon in the hands of Qi Ning. Half of the officials in the roster were still left, and more than a dozen officials marked by red lines on Hongmen Road also remained. Ning naturally believed in Hongmendao’s intelligence. He carefully inspected the official positions of more than a dozen officials. If he could not bring too much threat to himself or cause much trouble, Qi Ning still let them The official was in place, but whenever there was a slight threat to the Chu army here, Qi Ning transferred it to another position.
And according to the last page of the roster, Qi Ning promoted those talented officials who were willing to serve the state of Chu. With the help of these people, although the official transfer in the northwest was not too great, it was silent. In the interest, some more important positions have been more properly arranged. After mobilizing this, Qi Ning only felt that it was really cumbersome. I thought that the fewer the bangs, the better.
In a blink of an eye, Qi Ning entered Xianyang for almost ten days. Every day was busy from morning to night. Many things required him to be consulted. Even before Qi Ning was in Chu, it was never so busy.
On this day, I saw Duan Canghai hurriedly came over and reported: "Grandpa, news came from Tongguan, Qu Yuangu really sent people to Tongguan."
After taking down Tongguan, Qi Ning expects that Qu Yuangu will not be indifferent, but just waited for nearly ten days but did not hear the military report. Do you think Qu Yuangu really wants to leave the Northwest? There was news on this matter, and there was a wide smile on his lips.
"How many horses?"
"There are probably two or three thousand soldiers." Duan Canghai said: "And there has been a tentative entrance into Tongguan, but the news from Lu Kang's side, the Northwest Army is clearly not fully attacking."
"Tongguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Others don't understand it. The Northwester knows better than anyone else." Qi Ning said: "Tongguan is now solid as a golden soup and has plenty of materials. According to the danger, the Northwesters can't shake even if they attack hard ."
He personally brought down Tongguan and surveyed the terrain of Tongguan on the spot. He knew that as long as Lu Kang and his soldiers guarded, the Northwest Army had no possibility of breaking through.
"It is true." Duan Canghai said: "The Northwest Army has attacked several times in a row, but it has been in vain, and now it has retreated. Lu Kang said that from the pass, we can see that the Northwest Army began construction at about ten miles from Tongguan. The barrier, as you see it, seems to temporarily build a new pass on Tongguan Road."
Qing Ning nodded and said: "That’s not wrong. Qu Yuangu sent his soldiers back to Tongguan. He didn’t think that he could really lay down Tongguan, but he was worried that we would attack him from behind when he entered the customs, so he sent someone back. I want to prevent us from entering the customs.” Ruo thought: “It’s so easy to build a pass, how much manpower and material resources and time will it take for Tongguan to reach the scale of today, they are also temporarily building a fortification, as It’s just a barrier against us.”
Duan Canghai said with a sneer: "Building a barrier means that they have no confidence to lay down Tongguan."
"Qu Yuangu is not stupid. Since he divided his troops to intercept in the rear, he will surely speed up to attack Luoyang in the front." Qi Ning said: "The war in the Northern Han Dynasty will be more intense." Where did the Qinhuai Army under the mountain hit now? Longtai sent troops to the north expedition this time. The purpose was to strike east and west, using the north expedition as a cover, and seized the opportunity to capture the northwest and east Qi. Has achieved half of its strategic objectives, but it is not known whether the plan to attack Dongqi is going smoothly.
Duan Canghai asked: "Grandpa, do you... send troops to support Tongguan?"
"What does Lu Kang say in the military newspaper?"
Duan Canghai Road: "Lu Kangdao did not mention the need for reinforcements."
"Then don't send someone for the time being." Qi Ning smiled and said: "Lu Kang is an old-fashioned person. If he feels that the strength of his hand is not enough, he will definitely ask for additional troops. On the contrary, it would make him think that we underestimated him. However, the military newspaper there must be delivered daily, and here the status of Tongguan must be kept informed."
"The subordinate knows." Duan Canghai's archer is about to retreat, and Qi Ning yelled: "I haven't seen Hongmen Dao in the past few days. He seems to be going back to Jianye recently. Do you know where he is?"
"Do you want to see him too?" Duan Canghai said: "I haven't seen him for a few days. Lord Ye wants to see him. I'll go find him here."
"No need, I just ask." Qi Ning said: "We will not be able to return to Jianye in a moment and a half, and San Niang and Zhan Ying will certainly be worried~IndoMTL.com~ I don't know what is going on here on our side, I happened to ask him to take two family letters home."
Duan Canghai smiled and said: "Does Lord Sir miss the young lady?"
Although Qi Ning is already the head of the family, at a young age, Gu Qinghan, who is an elder, is now at the age of Fenghua Zhengmao, so Fuzhong is still used to calling Ximen Zhanying the young lady.
Qing Ning smiled and waved, "Go on and do the job." While watching Duan Canghai retreat, he really remembered Gu Qinghan and Ximen Zhanying, thinking that the court would not know how to arrange the northwest side in the future. Just stay here for a while and adjust yourself back to Beijing. You can bear with yourself here. If you really want to arrange yourself to be guarded in the northwest, you have to take Gu Qinghan and Ximen Zhanying together.
