Chapter 236 New Politics

In the second year of Zhongping (185), the wild lion in Zhenxi Army roared angrily, stretched out its hideous claws, and issued a declaration of autonomy.

The world of the Han Dynasty was thus shaking. The three powerful ministers He Jin, Yuan Wei and Liu Yan each had their own ulterior motives and reached an agreement in private, deciding to take advantage of the opportunity of the Western Army's autonomy to re-dividate the local forces of the Han Dynasty and control the local areas.

In March, the emperor ordered Liu Biao to be the governor of Jingzhou and be in charge of Jingzhou. Liu Yan was the governor of Yizhou and be in charge of Yizhou. Dong Zhuo, the general of the Central Army, was the governor of Bingzhou and be in charge of Bingzhou.

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the cavalry commander Cao Cao, who had made many military achievements, stationed in Yanzhou, the cavalry commander Yuan Shu was stationed in Yuzhou, and the cavalry commander Yuan Shao led his troops to station in Jizhou.

With the emperor's decrees, Han troops from all over the country frequently mobilized the prefectures and counties around Zhenxi Army.

For a moment, heavy troops gathered around the Zhenxi Army controlled area, and the wind and cranes were heard, and all Han troops were in a state of destruction.

At the same time, the Zhenxi Army also began to mobilize troops and generals. The commander of the Jinyu Camp, Huang Zhong, and the deputy commander Han Sui, received an order from the General's Mansion to lead 25,000 soldiers to station in Linjin Pass and block Dong Zhuo's Bingzhou Iron Cavalry.

The Longxiang Camp stationed in Luoyang, the Tiger Roar Camp in Nanyang, and the Thunder Bear Camp in Xiangyang were also on guard and ready to wait.

Just when most people think that a great war is inevitable and the pioneer bird of Zhenxi Army is about to be slaughtered.

Whether it was Liu Biao, Liu Yan, or Dong Zhuo, the relatives of the Han Dynasty, they all made shocking decisions and sent envoys to the Zhenxi Army.

In April, there were clouds in the sky above Chang'an City. Huangfu Jian, Jia Xu, Zhang Zhao and other senior leaders of the town's western army gathered in the mansion, closely following the dynamics of the Han army in various places. The three cavalry of the dragon, tiger and leopard were also well-known and were ready to go out for assistance at any time.

The war machine of Zhenxi Army was actively operating and ready to attack the invading enemy at any time.

At this moment, the whistle cavalry came to report, "Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, sent an envoy outside Chang'an City."

"It's interesting. Liu Biao sent an envoy at this time. It seems that Liu Biao doesn't want to be in trouble with us anymore. Zibu, go and see what Liu Biao means." After hearing this, Huangfu Jian thought for a moment and guessed the purpose of Liu Biao.

"No!" Chief Zhang Zhao agreed and went out of the city to welcome Liu Biao's envoy.

"Wenhe, do you think this battle can be fought?" After Zhang Zhao left, Huangfu Jian asked the military advisor Jia Xu.

"My subordinates think that they can't fight! The Zhenxi Army is not a bird that comes out, but a tiger that goes down the mountain. Liu Biao, Liu Yan, and Dong Zhuo are not hunters. At best, they are evil wolves. Moreover, these evil wolves have their own plans and ideas, and no one dares to come to embrace the tiger power of the Zhenxi Army. Liu Biao's envoy has arrived, and Liu Yan and Dong Zhuo's envoy are not far away." Jia Xu was calm and talked freely.

"The military advisors are right, and I think they don't have the courage." Huangfu Jian laughed slightly and said with a smile.

In the following days, Jia Xu's statement was indeed confirmed. The envoys sent by Liu Yan and Dong Zhuo arrived one after another, and they all expressed their kindness to the Zhenxi Army. Under Huangfu Jian's instructions, the Chief Secretary Zhang Zhao reached a consensus with them, not to invade each other and communicate with each other's business trips.

As a result, the tension around the Zhenxi Army gradually improved. Although all parties still deployed strong troops, the battle could not be fought. The Zhenxi Army's autonomy storm also subsided in this strange atmosphere, and Huangfu Jian took an important step to dominate the world.

As the war subsided, the focus of Zhenxi Army began to be on internal affairs construction, and to enrich the country and strengthen the people.

At this time, with the continuous influx of refugees in the Central Plains, the population of Zhenxi Army controlled the area increased day by day, reaching 15 million. The territory also reached nearly three states, and the old Han official system could no longer adapt to the new development.

Huangfu Jian made up his mind and then acted, but once he decided, he was decisive and decisive. Anyway, the most important step has been taken out now and there is nothing to worry about, so he decided to implement the new policy.

In mid-May, Huangfu Jian generals Jia Xu, the left military advisor, Yan Zhong, the right military advisor, Zhang Zhao, and Chang'an order Zhong Yao summoned him to the general's mansion.

The General's Mansion, Huangfu Jian's study room, Huangfu Jian's head high, Jia Xu and four others sat in two hatchbacks.

After a few people sat down, Huangfu Jian said lightly: "Today we are summoned, there are important things to discuss. Although the Zhenxi Army has separated from the Han Dynasty and implemented autonomy, the government orders in various places are not unified, and many places are still implementing the Han system. There are many hidden holes in management. If it is not corrected in time, it will cause endless troubles. Therefore, we will decide to implement the new policy in the Zhenxi Army controlled area."

"The lord is very concerned about it. The current system does hinder the development of our army." Chang'an ordered Zhong Yao to be good at government affairs, and of course he could also see the many problems that appeared in the Zhenxi Army controlled area, so he spoke first.

Jia Xu, Yan Zhong and Zhang Zhao also agreed.

"This is a little idea of ​​the new policy. You can take a look at it first and then improve it."

Seeing that everyone reached an agreement, Huangfu Jian came up with the content of the new policy that had been prepared long ago.

The so-called new policy was just Huangfu Jian slightly changed the three provinces and six ministries system in later generations based on his own impression and wrote it out.

Jia Xu, Yan Zhong, Zhang Zhao and Zhong Yao took it from Huangfu Jian and saw it, each of them was shocked.

At this time, Huangfu Jian's ambition to dominate the world was fully revealed in front of the four close ministers. It was said that this was a new policy to govern the jurisdiction of the Zhenxi Army, but it was better to say that it was a system to govern the world. It was just that the entire country was changed into the Zhenxi General's Mansion.

The four important officials of the Zhenxi Army all understood that this was the lord's preparation for the future governance of the world.

Although the four of them were a little surprised, they quickly calmed down. After all, they were all important officials around Huangfu Jian, and they knew some of Huangfu Jian's thoughts. Moreover, the Zhenxi Army now has such strong strength and has taken a critical step, and it is not impossible to dominate the world in the future.

With such strength and such ambition, why worry about the big thing not being done!

The four of them carefully read the content of the new policy and were even more shocked. They never dreamed that the lord who did not interfere in political affairs was not only invincible in the military formation, but also had a surprising understanding of political affairs. In addition to some details, the new policy written by Huangfu Jian was indeed the most advanced system of this era, far exceeding the Han system that appeared.

Of course, the three provinces and six ministries system is a political system used by most dynasties in Chinese history, and it must have its rationality. A thousand years of history has proved its rationality and effectiveness.

At the end of May, after Jia Xu, Yan Zhong, Zhang Zhao and Zhong Yao's revision, three provinces, one place, and seven departments, a new political system will be released and will be fully piloted within the Zhenxi Army.

The new system is: three provinces: Secretariat, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province. One: Military Affairs Office. It is directly led by the General's Office.

Seven departments: Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Works, United Front Work Department, and General Staff.

Compared with the three provinces and six ministries system, Huangfu Jian listed the Ministry of War separately, changed it to the Military Affairs Office, and elevated it to the same level as the three provinces, not only achieving the purpose of separation of military and political affairs, but also highlighting the concept of governing the country with martial arts. Huangfu Jian believes that no matter what era, military is the foundation of the country, and strong force is the guarantee of everything.

The Military Affairs Office is in charge of military affairs in the world and is in charge of conquests and attacks. It has a United Front Work Department and a General Staff Department.

United Front Work Department: Responsible for combat, logistics supply, and military law enforcement. It has a combat department, military law department, and logistics department.

General Staff: Responsible for combat planning, strategic arrangement, and war guidance. Although it takes auxiliary roles in war, it is indispensable and has a significant role.

The Secretariat - the highest administrative agency, responsible for implementing important government orders of the General's Office. It has five departments, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Works.

Menxia Province - a review agency, responsible for reviewing government orders.

Secretariat - a decision-making body, responsible for drafting and issuing the general's office's government decrees.

The three provinces have division of labor and constraints, and at the same time they can correct the mistakes of the General's Mansion.

Ministry of Personnel: Responsible for assessment and appoint and remove officials below the fourth rank.

Ministry of Revenue: Responsible for finance and treasury.

Ministry of Rites: Responsible for tribute, sacrifice, and ceremonies.

Ministry of Justice: Responsible for judicial and auditing affairs.

Ministry of Industry: Responsible for engineering construction.

In early June, Huangfu Jian issued an order, Jia Xu, Yan Zhong, Zhang Zhao, Zhong Yao, Fa Yan, Xun You, Chen Lin, Xi Zhicai, Ju Su, Tian Feng and other civil officials from the western army gathered in the General's Mansion to discuss the restructuring matters.

In the grand general's mansion, Huangfu Jian looked at the ministers in the hall with a high spirit and said loudly: "The Zhenxi Army has come to this day, all depends on your efforts. Now that our army's territory is expanding and its population is increasing. Moreover, there will be more territory and more people in the future, and everyone needs to take care of it. However, the existing Han official system can no longer adapt to the rapid development of our army, so we need to reorganize and need a new policy to adapt to the development of our army."

Except for the important officials around Huangfu Jian such as Jia Xu, Yan Zhong, Zhang Zhao, Zhong Yao, etc., none of the ministers in the hall knew that Huangfu Jian had summoned them. Why did Huangfu Jian summon them? Now, after hearing Huangfu Jian's words, they were silent and waiting for the following text.

"The official system of the Han Dynasty is redundant, the official is overdoing, and the efficiency is low. After discussing with the military advisor, the chief and others, we decided to introduce a new official system. Let the military advisor announce the new policy. After everyone discusses, it will be fully implemented in the Zhenxi Army controlled area."

Huangfu Jian continued to say, looking at the civil officials with different expressions.

As soon as Huangfu Jian finished speaking, the left military advisor Jia Xu stood up, took out the prepared new policy details and distributed them to the ministers. He said: "Now what is sent to you is the content of the new policy. Everyone will study it carefully. If there is anything wrong, we will modify it, but the overall idea will not change!"

After receiving the content of the new policy, the ministers started to read it carefully. They began to discuss fiercely and made some detailed changes. The new policy was decided in this way.

After these important officials of the western army in the town had a certain understanding of the new policy, Huangfu Jian began a series of personnel appointments.

Since the Zhenxi Army is still small, it has only set up several officials. As for the chiefs of the three provinces, they can only be established after the founding of the country. Jia Xu and Yan Zhong are the left and right military advisors of the Military Affairs Office and the commander of the Military Affairs Office. Zhang Zhao temporarily led the Shangshu Province, the Menxia Province, and the Central Secretariat Province was temporarily short.

The chief secretary Zhang Zhao is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, Zhong Yao is in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, Ju Su is in charge of the Ministry of Justice, Chen Lin is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and the young inventor Ma Jun is in charge of the Ministry of Works.

With the promulgation and implementation of the new policy, the Zhenxi Army controlled area has entered a period of rapid development.
