Chapter 98: The Great General of the Mandate of Heaven(2/2)

The population of Zhang Hua's power suddenly surpassed that of Gongzi Fusu and became one of the overlords on the plains.

"Yan Village has met the conditions for upgrading from a third-level village to a town. It will be named Yan Town. Yan Town, and Qing Town is merged into Yan County, with a population of 70,000."

Zhang Hua divided the territory into three counties and became the lord with three counties.

"The lord is already the lord of the three counties, and each military general has made military achievements. It is time for the lord to reward these military generals to win people's hearts. The lord can also be called a general and become famous in the future."

After Chen Gong attacked Huang Taiji, he proposed an important process to Zhang Hua - to enthrone official positions.

The princes of this world have risen together, and there is no emperor. Therefore, as a lord, as long as you are willing, you can assign yourself to any position, such as the Great General of the Universe (Hou Jing) and the Great General of the Sky (Huang Chao).

Even if Zhang Hua proclaims himself emperor, it is no problem.

However, it is too early to proclaim himself emperor and expose his ambitions and is easily the target of attack by various princes.

For example, Prince Fusu only respects Qin Shihuang as an emperor. If Zhang Hua becomes emperor, Prince Fusu will also consider attacking Zhang Hua.

Secondly, after becoming emperor, the positions of prime minister, general, and three duke must be established.

There is no problem on the surface, but after delving into it, it is quite dangerous.

Now Zhang Hua has only a population of 150,000. If he enthroned many generals, these generals will conquer cities and territory in the future, Zhang Hua can only continue to increase their titles and official positions.

At that time, you will face the dilemma of being unable to seal it.

When the general goes up, he can only be granted the title of marquis, the county and the state, and the king.

Once there is no title, these kings and princes may consider rebelling.

Even if he would not rebel, a group of princes and princes would be quite upset for Zhang Hua.

Therefore, lords who truly have political means will not satisfy their subordinates' ambitions in front of them, but will gradually enhance their status.

For example, military generals can be enthroned from the chief lieutenant and set up multiple levels of official positions and titles, making it difficult for them to reach the top for the rest of their lives.

If these generals reach the top, they are called kings, then it will be dangerous.

Shortly after Han Xin and Ying Bu were crowned kings, birds were gone, good bows were hidden, cunning rabbits died, and lackeys were cooked.

"Since my talent is 'destiny', I'll call myself the General of Heavenly Destiny, and I have the positions of the lieutenant, the chief lieutenant, and other Sima."

"Each county has established a position such as county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate, chief clerk, chief clerk, chief clerk, young mansion, teacher, and chief captain."

Zhang Hua proclaimed himself the General of Heavenly Destiny, and appointed the highest civil servant as the county magistrate and the highest military officer as the school magistrate.

Zhang Hua's territory is only three counties, so it is naturally impossible to establish civil servants who exceed the county magistrate.

The number of troops is not large, and the positions of military officers such as the lieutenant, the chief lieutenant, and other departments are enough to command these troops.

Moreover, each general can accumulate military merits, and after the position of general is opened, he can be promoted to general.

Zhang Hua can also set up generals of the Central Army between the lieutenant and the general, and try to delay the progress of the general's title of king.

People's hearts are never satisfied, and no one knows whether the general who is only one step away from becoming emperor will develop ambition after being crowned as king.

This is a dark forest between the king and the minister.

Deng Ai was qualified to attack the lieutenant, but because Deng Ai didn't join for a long time and was young, he was named the lieutenant.

Feng Yi, Xu Chu, Hua Mulan, Wang Feng, Chen Wu, Jiang Qin, Zhao Guang and others were also granted the title of Chief Commander for their merits.

Zhao Ponu, Ma Wu, Liang Hongyu, and Zhong Shizhong only participated in the battle against Huang Taiji and were Sima of other troops.

"I am a dignified princess, why am I just a captain, huh?"

Although Sun Shangxiang said that, he was still quite happy inside.

Zhang Hua established the position of lieutenant, but no one has accumulated enough credit to become lieutenant.

This led to many generals in Xia Town ready to fight, waiting for the next opportunity to make contributions to see who can become the first lieutenant in Xia Town.

With the addition of Deng Ai, Zhong Shizhong, Ma Wu, Liang Hongyu and other military generals, the competition among Xia Zhen's military generals became increasingly fierce.

"Du Mu is the county magistrate of Shi County, and Chen Qiao is the county magistrate of Yan County. As for the candidate for county magistrate..."

Zhang Hua also served as the county magistrate of Xia County, and arranged for Du Mu and Chen Qiao to serve as the county magistrates of the other two counties, and found that the civil officials were not enough.

"Lord, Huang Taiji imprisoned a man. This man would rather die than surrender, and he earned him. He claimed to be Geng Gong, the captain of Wuji, the Great Han Dynasty."

Zhao Guang led his troops to inspect the prison of Huang Taiji's forces and found Geng Gong, a military general in the Eastern Han Dynasty who was imprisoned by Huang Taiji.

"Geng Gong, who returned to Yumen?"

Zhang Hua has heard of this story. Geng Gongdu has a very strong ability to guard the lonely city.

Zhang Shicheng delayed Huang Taiji for several months with his inferior troops, allowing Zhang Hua to accumulate strength, and Geng Gong made an indelible contribution.

"You bring Geng Gong to see me, no, I'll go and release him in person."

Zhang Hua knew that it was difficult to recruit Geng Gong, a Han dynasty, as Huang Taiji, but Zhang Hua had the opportunity to recruit Geng Gong for his own use.

Zhang Hua came to the dungeon in Qingzhen and personally released Geng Gong.

Geng Gong was not only a captain of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but also had a great background - Geng Gong was the nephew of Geng Yan, one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai.

"Jiangwei Geng is extremely talented, how can he become a prisoner? It is better to serve me. Feng Yi and Ma Wu are now all my generals."

Zhang Hua recruited Geng Gong with the help of Feng Yi, Ma Wu and Geng Gong.

Sure enough, Geng Gong was shocked when he heard the reputation of the two.

Feng Yi and Ma Wu are people from Geng Gong's generation. Even they defected to Zhang Hua, and Geng Gong really had no reason to refuse.

"It is my honor to be lucky enough to fight with them. Let me, Geng Gong, do my part."

Geng Gong agreed to Zhang Hua's recruitment.

Zhang Hua discovered that military generals of the same dynasty often met with each other and knew each other, which was indeed a personal relationship society.

Zhang Hua saw the list of heroes who moved in Qingzhen and had Geng Gong.

【Hero】: Geng Gong

【Level】: 37

[Commander]: 83  【Military power】: 76  【Intellect】: 75  【Politics】: 63

[Talent]: Defend to the death (Geng Gong was deeply impressed by the soldiers. When he was trapped in the lonely city, the defense and resilience of the defenders were improved. Geng Gong often inspires morale to keep the defenders high morale)

【Experience in arms】: cavalry, bowmen, crossbowmen

【Special Army】: Changshui Camp

[Article]: The famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the nephew of Geng Yan, General Jianwei.

Geng Gong's ability is not particularly outstanding among the many famous generals in Xia Town, but Geng Gong's talent is unique.

According to Geng Gong's positioning, Zhang Hua only needs to give Geng Gong a partial army and let Geng Gong guard the city, Geng Gong can block the enemy's main force for Zhang Hua, so that Zhang Hua has greater room for strategic choices.

Like Deng Ai, Geng Gong focuses on one ability and can achieve miraculous results if he uses the right place.

Zhang Hua appointed Geng Gong as Sima of another unit.

When Geng Gong saw Feng Yi, Ma Wu, he was excited.

Feng Yi and Ma Wu are equivalent to the five tiger generals to Zhao Guang for Geng Gong.

It is an honor to be qualified to fight side by side with famous generals of my uncle's generation.

Unfortunately, when Feng Yi and Ma Wu came here, Geng Gong was not born yet.

Geng Gong had met Ma Wu in the old age, but had never seen Ma Wu in the young age.

In the territory of Prince Fusu, the Qin commander Su Jiao led a team of cavalry to monitor the Huang Taiji tribe who crossed the territory of Prince Fusu.

Huang Taiji brought thousands of troops into the territory of Gongzi Fusu. Meng Tian was still confronting Jin Wushu, and Wang Li, Su Jiao and other Qin generals did not rashly fight Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji had no intention of attacking Prince Fusu's Qin Town, but just marched eastward and crossed Prince Fusu's territory.

"What does Huang Taiji want to do? Going east, it's the territory of Wagang Village. Even if I'm not an opponent, does Huang Taiji want to attack the territory of Wagang Village? If that's the case, it would be too whimsical."

Su Jiao followed Huang Taiji from afar, wanting to know Huang Taiji's intentions.

The Wagang Village looks like a copycat, but those who know the history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties know that the Wagang Army was one of the separatist forces at the end of the Sui Dynasty and had strong combat effectiveness.

Su Jiao was monitoring Huang Taiji for 60 miles and suddenly found a cavalry at the end of his vision, with more than a thousand people, and the dragon flag was waving.

"That's... Huang Taiji's reinforcements?!"

Su Jiao immediately asked his Qin army to prepare for combat.

The dragon flag of the Eight Banners Cavalry is really too conspicuous.

Huang Taiji brought Oboi and Yue Tuo to meet the reinforcements general: "Dorgon, you are one step late."
