Liaodong Chapter 2
In the afternoon, the warship slowly landed, and the three thousand kings' division troops disembarked one after another.
The three hundred Wu Shibiao led by Xu Lang stood here, and his military appearance was the best on the spot. Now there are three thousand equally elite and brave soldiers in the royal army, and the oppression brought by the feeling of great force is even more intense. Especially when the Grand Governor of Ping Liao, Hu Run, arrived on the shore surrounded by his personal soldiers, the royal army's soldiers were majestic and murderous aura filled this world.
The people from the Liao border who had been waiting on the shore for a long time were also welcomed by the Changshi Wen Fangzhi. Seeing Wen Fangzhi from afar, Hu Run did not dare to be negligent. He walked a few steps quickly and crossed his hands as a ritual. Wen Fangzhi also returned with rituals. He smiled and said, "The people from the Liao border have been waiting for the Grand Commander for a long time. The tiger is heading north, so you can be worry-free in the border affairs!"
"Yang Qu Gong praised it. Before leaving, the sage sincerely told me that he was the humerus of the principality, the virtuous court was the heir to the heir of the Liao border, and the Xuanwei border. If you can accomplish something here in the future, you must rely on Yang Qu Gong to follow the rules first!"
Hurun and Wen Fangzhi have not had a deep friendship, but in the remote Liao area, it has a bit of a taste of old friends cherishing each other. Hurun, the one-eyed dragon, looks more evil than elegant, and his demeanor is not handsome, but in the eyes of Wen Fangzhi, who has been guarding the Liao border for many years, has never been able to return to the sky, it looks very cute at this moment.
As a saint and a general of the Northern Expedition, Hu Run is now the well-deserved representative of the royal army, but he dare not be arrogant when facing Wen Fangzhi. Even if he does not mention the Yu Ze, the family of Wen Fang, and his father is famous, he is only a person with a weak and weak group, and he is definitely worthy of respect for many great acts in the Liao border with many weak people, walking among tigers and wolves, and planning to achieve wind and thunder.
"I'll introduce the Liao border Zhujun to the Grand Commander."
Although there are many topics to discuss when we meet each other, it is naturally not suitable for deep conversations at the moment. We have a small greeting with each other, and Wen Fangzhi pulled Hu Run to introduce the people around him.
When facing Wen Fangzhi, Hu Run was very polite, but when facing others, he had no humility. He became the commander of the Liao border military commander in the future. Among the military men, the situation could be saved. With the back of the Daliang Empire and holding the authority of the border town, Hu Run naturally no longer needs to rely on a kind look to invite everyone to win favors.
The Chinese and barbarians present at this moment, no matter what they were thinking, were all warm welcome. Although it was only the first time we met, these people could clearly feel that the evil general Hu, who was in a body, was obviously different from the Wang Chens, such as Wen Hongzu, who had been in contact with before.
"The plan is only the only one who knows the King of Consciousness and Law, and will work together in the Liao border in the future and encourage you to encourage you. If you occasionally neglect your relationship, I hope you will be willing to be patient and tolerate each other for your country, and do not make a grudge against each other."
Hu Run's words were not polite. With his slightly ferocious appearance, he couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring and dull for a while. From then on, this feeling will become more and more obvious. As Hu Run arrives at the Liao border, the style of the Daliang court's border affairs has changed dramatically, and it is no longer the old style.
Later, Wu Kaidao of the Wang Division. Under the leadership of Wen Fangzhi and others, Hu Run arrived at the newly built official residence in Lilinkou. After a brief handover, he officially took over the army here.
Liu Qun, the governor of Youzhou, did not greet Hu Run in person, not because he was a entrusted, but because he was walking in western Liaoning, contacting the heads of the Liao border, and raising the return of the country and the North Korea to report on his post. However, even if Liu Qun was not here, the help of Wen and Hang was assisted in the handover did not affect Hu Run's quick understanding and taking over the Liao border affairs.
This time, the imperial court sent Hurun to Liao to establish the Grand Governor's Office of Ping Liao. The Liao border will also make adjustments in government affairs. Liu Qun will continue to serve as the governor of Youzhou, but the jurisdiction of Youzhou has been greatly reduced. The originally under the jurisdiction of Liaoxi and the counties in Beiping are no longer in charge, and they are officially in charge of Jicheng.
Wen Fangzhi no longer served as the chief minister of Youzhou Governor's Office, but officially served as the governor of Pingzhou, in charge of the government affairs and civil affairs of the Liao border. The scope of the Hurun Ping Liao Grand Governor's Office basically overlaps with Wen Fangzhi's jurisdiction, starting from Linyu Pass near Qinhuangdao in the west, and the northeast area is within the jurisdiction of the Grand Governor's Office.
The imperial court's adjustment is of great significance. The most important point is to officially recover the position of the governor of Pingzhou who was stolen by the Murong clan of Liaodong after the Yongjia disaster.
Of course, this is just the attitude of the court. At least several forces in the Murong tribe of the Liao border have not yet learned about this. The matter of Wen Fangzhi's appointment as the governor of Pingzhou was only established in letters of internal and external exchanges, and it was not as clear as Hu Run as the governor of Pingliao.
This is also to avoid excessive stimulation to the Murong tribe in Liaodong. If they were allowed to learn that they had been excluded from the northeast order of the Daliang court, they might temporarily put aside their disputes and join forces to resist the court's operations against the Liao border.
In this regard, the imperial court had a knowing tacit understanding and was happy to see the blood relatives of Murong's tribe continue to fight for life and death, and were unwilling to let the imperial edict arrange to disturb their internal struggles. Therefore, the news that Wen Fangzhi was appointed as the governor of Pingzhou would have to wait until a suitable opportunity to announce it to the public.
In short, Hurun and Wen Fang's army and politics are combined with each other, and the Liao border will be where their respective achievements will be achieved in the future. Wen Fangzhi was also sincerely happy about the arrival of Hurun, and once again felt the joy of being able to enjoy the coolness of the big tree.
Although Hu Run only brought three thousand royal division troops when he entered the town, this was not the entire force of the Grand Commander General of Ping Liao. There were originally a large number of troops garrisons in western Liaoning, and this was all under the Grand Commander General of Ping Liao, which was considered a basis for formally establishing the use of force to balance the Liao border.
Before Hu Run left, His Majesty the Emperor had already revealed his details to him that the future Grand Governor's Office of Liao would not be as simple as recapturing the Liao border. In addition to solving the Hu troubles in this border, it would be a destruction of Fuyu, Goguryeo and other countries, and the repetition of the Northeast order during the Han Dynasty was also a phased goal, and even the Korean Peninsula was included under the deterrence of the royal army.
Of course, these long-term goals are not useful at the moment. Hurun's current task is to make the Grand Governor's Office stable in the Liao border as soon as possible, and quickly organize a force network that shocks the Liao border.
In this regard, Wen Fangzhi did not hide his own personal information. In the next period of time, he did not tell Hurun about the current situation in the Liao border, and personally took Hurun to patrol several strongholds in the Liao border.
It has to be said that Wen Fangzhi's operation in the Liao border for several years is definitely not wasting his time. The situation that Hurun took over is far better than Wen Fangzhi's situation when he first came to Liao.
In addition to the important land of the Liao border, Lilinkou, in the past few years, the Liao border has also been developed. At present, areas that are strictly controlled by the royal army, including Qinhuangdao, Tuhe, Lilinkou, Mashijin and other places, have initially established a system to check and balance the Liao border.
"After all, the Liao border is still cold and hard. There are many shortcomings in manpower and material use. It is inevitable that everything is difficult to take action..."
When explaining these situations, Wen Fangzhi did not rely on his merits to be arrogant, and there was still regret. In the late Qitai year, after the Murong Jun killed his father, they not only got rid of the hostage of the Murong tribe, but also formally proposed a major plan to manage the Liao border. After the efforts of the following years, although there were many achievements, it was still hard to say that they had achieved their full results.
The current influence of the royal army is still only at the level of eroding the marginal strongholds of Liao, such as the plan to seize Pingguo City in Liaodong to divide the southern part of Liao. Due to the fierce opposition from several Murong troops, and the lack of power in Wen Fangzhi's hands, there has been no major progress so far.
The dilemma faced by the Liao Bian is very realistic and helpless. As Wen Fangzhi said, if you rely on everything outside, it is difficult to make a big improvement without obtaining a large amount of investment in character resources.
Although the Murong tribe was greater than that of Liaodong, it was managed by several generations. In particular, Murong Ting and Murong Feng and his son were cunning and fierce, and were both rare Yingliu leaders in the Huzhong. After a long time of decay, it was far from a short-term achievement to pursue the old ways of the strong Han Dynasty.
For example, Hurun led 3,000 troops to the north. In order to provide sufficient supplies, it has been transported by sea since its launch this year, so that it can reserve enough goods and goods. If the troops are still needed to continue to increase, the logistics pressure will be far from being established for a while and the border affairs have not yet been decided.
The bitterness of the Liao border is also a helpless real problem. Even a key business area like Lilinkou has achieved great achievements, but it is far from reaching the level of self-sufficiency.
There are many wastelands suitable for reclamation and cultivation here, but due to the weather and seasonal conditions, it is extremely difficult to reclamate land, and the income from the land is really limited. At present, Lilinkou can maintain the scale of more than 2,000 households, which is already a limit to maintain. Even if there is still a continuous stream of Han refugees, they can only be transported to Hebei through water and land channels. The current situation of Liao border lacking manpower is still not changed.
Hurun was also deeply touched about this after an on-site inspection. He walked between the farmlands on both sides of the Liaoshui River near Lilinkou. Although there were many farmers sow cold-resistant wheat crops in the farmland, most of the farmers looked sad.
Compared with rice, although wheat can withstand cold winters, the climate in Liaobian is really cold. Under the frozen snow, seven or eight out of ten wheat seeds sown directly freeze to death in the soil layer, with very few harvests. The reason why we still insist on sowing is mainly to raise fields. If we only rely on short-sow crops in spring and summer, ripening wastelands will be far away.
There are also some rice that has never been eaten without shelling. The ears are small and shrunk, which is even more incomparable to the grains produced in Jiangdong. Because it is produced in Liao border now, it is mainly mixed beans, and it is widely planted and harvested. Once too many people gather in the area, it is difficult to maintain self-sufficiency by relying solely on the fields.
Relatively speaking, there are also many fertile lands in Hebei, and there is a shortage of manpower to resume production. The rewards of land reclamation by the land are far higher than those in the Liao border. Therefore, although there are still few people available in the Liao border, for realistic reasons, the people who are recruited in Liao border can only arrange to return west and go to Hebei Bohai and other areas to settle for production.
However, blindly relocating and relocating people is not a long-term solution. After all, if the imperial court wants to recover the Liao border and carry out effective governance, the force guarantee provided by the royal army is only a prerequisite, and the fundamental reason lies in the diligence of the common people.
His Majesty the Emperor had previously proposed the claim that the cold current invaded the south and the ice rivers hurt farmers. The Tianzhong Engineering Academy has obtained evidence from many sources and studied it in depth. Hu Run also knew this fact well when he was preparing to join Liao to serve in Liao, and he knew very well that in such a climate, in the future, if the Liao border wants to be treated for a long time, it is a very inefficient way to put it in the agriculture and sericulture.
Although Hurun's main job is military affairs, the maintenance of force also requires a rich material foundation. Therefore, he and Wen Fangzhi also had an in-depth discussion on this point, and the consensus reached between them was that although agriculture and sericulture could not be abolished at all, the maintenance of the situation in the Liao border in the future still needed to rely more on industrial and commercial matters.
At present, the court is unable to take into account multilateralism, but after the war in the southwest comes to an end, it will naturally invest more energy in the Liao border in the future. However, the expansion of borders without rewards will not last long. What's more, the new Daliang Dynasty was established and everything was in trouble. In terms of government and use, it is necessary to act more carefully within one's ability to avoid falling into the dilemma of military desperation.
The Emperor of Han valued martial arts and favored merits and repeatedly promoted border affairs. In such a huge and powerful Han era, the people were still exhausted and wealthy, and had to blame himself. Now, the new dynasty of Daliang has just been established. Although the king and his ministers were united and united, they wanted to open the border and restore the border and build a golden bowl, if they really did not care about it and did not control the entire army and martial arts, even if they were prosperous for a while, they would never last long.
Therefore, in addition to completing his duties, Hurun and Wen Fangzhi, the military and political leaders of the Liao border, have another more important mission, which is to dig deeper into the value of this border in the Liao border as much as possible, so as to achieve a state of maintaining war through war and maintaining it for a long time.
Because of Hurun's trip, in addition to the three thousand Wangshi troops, there were also a large number of technical personnel from the engineering institute and civilian merchants. They would visit in-depth under the protection provided by Wangshi, explore various parts of the Liao border, and strive to explore the value of resources present here.
Regarding this point, the support provided by the court is very strong. Similar to Guanzhong, Shanxi, including Shuzhong, which is about to recover, the Shanze official camps are all basic operations.
However, the court relaxed controls on the white mountains and black waters of the Liao border and encouraged private capital to pour into it. Many resources such as minerals, water power, wood, stone, and grass. No matter who has a unique vision and can dig out the value of it, the court will not compete with the people for profit, and even support them to occupy the mountains and fields.
This is also a very simple account. It only relies on the power of the court to develop the Liao border, with great investment and slow results. Moreover, the court cannot devote all its energy to the Liao border.
In the late Cao Wei Dynasty, after Emperor Xuan of Jin was suppressed by the Gongsun clan in Liaodong, Sima Yi took a renunciation towards Liaodi, which also caused the Hu disasters in the border areas of Liao and endangered China. Even without mentioning the current growing Donghu Xianbei tribes, the future Goguryeo directly triggered the collapse and disintegration of the Sui Empire.
Instead of letting the Liao border be abandoned and becoming a paradise for the growth of the Hu people, it is better to release the control and enjoy the benefits with the people. No matter what way of operation, as long as the exchanges and interactions between the Liao border and the Central Plains can be strengthened, this connection can be solidified and integrated for a long time.
Moreover, the so-called small ice river influence does not exist forever. As long as the people of Xia can be ensured to be dominant in the Liao border, with the time of relocation and the innate diligence of the people of Xia, it is only a matter of time before the large-scale in-depth development of the Liao border is achieved.
Of course these are just funerals. With the arrival of Hurun, the primary issue facing the Liao Grand Commander's Office is to establish the military advantage of the royal army on the Liao border as soon as possible.
ps: I apologize to everyone first. I have some private affairs at home in recent days, and my condition is difficult to stop, and I am a little lazy. The extra update is not very good. I have adjusted my condition in the past two days and finished these extras as soon as possible. Thanks to the leader Huang Maoyuan for his kindness, and I also recommended a book I have been reading recently, "Rebirth of South Africa as a Policeman". I am chasing and reading the stories of kings, princes, generals and ministers. This foreign exotic style feels very interesting. I recommend you to try it out...
