Section 12 Exchange Blood

I feel very honored to be together here. First of all, I would like to thank you for your trust in Li. In addition, I would like to explain to you the reason why I took the emergency measures to restore the normal production and living order in Jinzhou as soon as possible. My army has set out to advance to the eastern and northern parts of Jinzhou to clear out any bandits and horse thieves that exist in Jinzhou. Here I promise you that within one week, all bandits and horse thieves will be resolved, normal order, and cancel the state of emergency. Your life and property will be absolutely guaranteed by me and my army. At the same time, I also solemnly promise to you that the threats of the Gaoyue people to everyone here and the people of the Jinzhou Prefecture will be completely solved within one month."

In the luxurious banquet hall in Jinzhou Prefecture City, I gently raised the high-legged wine glass in my hand, and the bright red wine liquid swayed in the wine glass. The fruits of victory were hard-won. It seemed that I could take Jinzhou Prefecture into my hands without any effort. But who knew that such a strict and comprehensive plan had cost me and Ling Tianfang and his subordinates' intelligence personnel day and night.

There was warm applause in the banquet hall. The businessmen and gentlemen led by Lu Yunshan were of course welcomed my words. They had long heard of the measures I took to revive the economy in Qingyang Prefecture. If I could hold the power of Jinzhou for a long time, this would certainly be unsuccessful for these businessmen who were the first to benefit. The applause of those officials seemed much lacking sincerity. If I really came to power, it would be unknown where they would go. The respectful expression could not hide their fear and anxiety.

However, I am not ready to take big moves for the time being. First, I am not accused of being right now and the words are not right. Second, I don’t want to make too much changes in personnel matters immediately. At least it will take some time to stabilize.

In the following days, Liang Chongxin's "bandit suppression" mission also achieved fruitful "achievements". The "bandits" scattered one after another. In just a few days, all the horse thieves and bandits disappeared without a trace. The number of people on the streets increased, and the originally rumored rumors naturally disappeared under the continuous victory of the army. Jinzhou returned to its original appearance, but it changed its owner.

I have arranged for Guji to send people to do a large-scale activity in the imperial capital, and also put the original critical situation in Jinzhou on the bench and some exaggerated reports. However, there will definitely be many people in the court who are very afraid of my entry into Jinzhou. Who would like to appear another powerful figure in the northwest region that has not yet been calm? Especially those who have more or less interest in the northwest region.

However, since there is a side that does not want me to be strong, then his opponents can make good use of it. The enemy is friends, and I believe that those people will not forget this sentence. Before entering Jinzhou, I had fully considered this and had arranged personnel to go to the imperial capital. Now, I am afraid that the court in the imperial capital is quarreling endlessly over this matter. Looking at the vast night sky of the galaxy, I turned my gaze to the distant east, hoping not to disappoint me.

The imperial emperor Situ Mingyue had several memorials on the imperial case, and her face seemed a little shady and unstable. Li Wufeng actually sent troops to neighboring prefectures without the consent of the central government of the empire. This is indeed something that has never happened in the history of the empire. Although there is a reason for this, if others follow this, wouldn’t it be a waste of state?

"You are already clear about the situation, I don't know what you think?" Let's listen to the opinions of your noble ministers.

"Reporting to my father, my son believes that although Li Wufeng is helping neighboring prefectures, it has destroyed the system set by the court, and this cannot be long-lasting. However, given the situation at that time, Li Wufeng can stabilize the situation and lead his army back to Qingyang." The speaker was the eldest prince Situ Tai. The northwest region is related to the overall situation and is related to his interests. How can he allow others to sleep soundly when he is sleeping on his bed? This is also the situation he most reluctant to see, but because he does not know the intention of His Majesty the Emperor, he dare not speak too hard. Once His Majesty agrees with Li Wufeng's move, wouldn't it be pleasing to both ends?

"My son does not agree with the elder brother's opinion. The situation in Jinzhou is urgent and in danger. It is natural to ask for help from friends and neighbors. If friends and neighbors do not save them when they see death, they should be punished. Although the court has system regulations that the army must not leave the defense zone without permission without the approval of the central government of the empire, it should also be determined according to the actual situation. Is it difficult to wait until the bandits looted Jinzhou before letting the army intervene? Li Wufeng's move should be praised. Mr. Chen suggested that the father could follow the public's wishes and let Li Wufeng serve as the guard of Jinzhou Prefecture and wait until the situation in Jinzhou is completely normal before fighting.

The son-in-law heard that Li Wufeng had managed the local area in order in Qingyang and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, which was a rare capable minister for his father and emperor." The refutation was the ninth prince Situ Lang. After receiving the news from Wufeng, he also had a happy and sad mood. Li Wufeng could inform himself before the action, obviously because he regarded himself as a backer, but he was so bold and arrogant that he could see that his ambition was quite a bit embarrassing. But when he heard his elder brother fiercely opposed Li Wufeng's stay in Jinzhou, he immediately made up his mind.

His highness's ministers were immediately divided into two factions. Some supported Situ Tai's views, some agreed with the ninth prince's opinions, and there were many different opinions. Situ Mingyue also felt a little determined, and even her two sons sang their own tunes and played their own trumpets. The ministers were naturally divided into two camps.

"He Aiqing, what do you think?" On the contrary, He Zhiqiu and Lu Wenfu, who were influential among the ministers, did not agree with either party's opinion, which made Situ Mingyue a little puzzled.

Seeing that I still can't get out of this muddy water, He Zhiqiu had to bite the bullet and answer: "My opinion is slightly different from you. The main cause of this incident is that the northwest region has been weak for a long time and lacks a strong local government. According to my knowledge, the situation in the other six prefectures in the northwest region is not optimistic, except for Yinchuan Prefecture, Taixuan Prefecture and Qingyang Prefecture after Li Wufeng took over, and the situation in the other prefectures is not optimistic. Although the local governments of Guide and Bonan Prefecture have been reorganized, the people have suffered greatly due to the long war and the current security forces are insufficient.

The government also lacks prestige, local bandits are rampant, social security is still very serious, and the people and businessmen react strongly. Although Jinzhou is affected by the war between Luobei people and the two places in Bonan are relatively Guide, but they are also troubled by the Gaoyue tribe's forces, and the situation has been unpredictable. The position of county magistrates in the northwest has been suspended for many years, and in fact there is no county-level government at all, and the entire northwest region lacks strong checks and balances. Therefore, the above reasons have also caused the situation in the northwest to be unstable. I believe that this change was a last resort. "

Situ Mingyue actually knew the current dilemma in the northwest region, but the war had just stopped and the danger still existed. No one who could hold the situation was in charge of the northwest. Although Li Wufeng was quite talented, he was too young after all, and his loyalty still needs to be tested. It was really difficult to find a suitable candidate for the position of the county magistrate of the northwest county. He Zhiqiu just told the root of the matter. As for how to deal with it, he avoided talking about it. He also had his difficulties with his two sons with completely different views. It seemed that he had to make his own decisions.

"Well, the situation in the northwest region is not stable at present, but there is no precedent for the empire to hold two prefectures. I think Li Wufeng will temporarily take over the position of Jinzhou Prefectures. After the situation stabilizes, let's discuss it."

When the appointment of the Central Committee of the Empire was teleported to Jinzhou by fast horses, it was already more than ten days later. After accepting congratulations from officials of all sizes and local gentry and merchants, I also made up my mind to reorganize the local government and army of Jinzhou. In addition, it is urgent to solve the problem of the Gaoyue tribe. September is not enough time, and if you relax a little, you may cause irreparable losses.

Jiao Ming was quite tactful and knew that he would no longer have a future in Jinzhou. He cooperated to resign from the position of director of the Administrative Office of the Jinzhou Prefecture and packed up the civilian money and cream that he had collected from his career in the past years. The next day he set off and returned to his hometown in Donghai County. Because he was quite sensible, I didn't make things difficult for him. Those uninterested guys still wanted to occupy a position and not let go, so they had to slowly let the people from the supervision department clean up them. A devilish smile that even Ling Tianfang felt a little chilled appeared on my face.

Although I was just an agent city guard, I never thought that anyone could take away the fast fat meat of Jinzhou from me. Even Situ Mingyue could not. It would be the most reliable and stable rear of my expansion.

The reorganization of the army was even more decisive. Wang Shiqi himself served as the commander of the Jinzhou Garrison Division. Although the deputy commander was less than 45 years old, under my "care", he retired and returned to his hometown to retire after returning from the front line of confrontation with the Gaoyue tribe. As for the grassroots officers, I did not make much adjustments. One reason is that they were just implementing orders from superiors. The struggle of the senior management was just an illusory thing for them, not to mention that Wang Shiqi did not bring them much benefits. In addition, maintaining the necessary stability also helped me completely control the situation in Jinzhou faster.

I ordered all the former Jinzhou Prefecture security divisions to return to the city from the garrison, and revoked Liang Chongxin's position as the commander of the First Guard Division of the Qingyang Prefecture. The replacement of him was Kamapov, the deputy commander of the Qingyang Second Guard Division. Originally, Mulige should be the best candidate to replace Liang Chongxin, but I have other considerations. Liang Chongxin was appointed by me as the commander of the Jinzhou Prefecture Security Division, and authorized him to recruit troops and expand and form a complete established division.

After bargaining with me, Liang Chongxin finally agreed to him to draw some officers from the former Qingyang First Guard Division to join the Jinzhou Guard Division to strengthen leadership and to promote training as soon as possible.
