1177 Murong perished
Governing Taiwan has always been known for its efficiency, especially at the moment, when the war is going on, so all resolutions and regulations cannot be delayed.
The conversation between Shen Zhezi and Xue Tao, although it only revealed a little hint, but after the news came out, various actions began immediately.
First of all, some staff officers of the army, including Xue Tao, made appointments to meet those township tyrants in Hedong. Then Xingtai put forward several alternatives for Hedong Taishou, all of which were more or less related to Hedong.
Of course, these actions are just a process, it is nothing more than a better look, and how the platform really decides is not something that external forces can stop.
Soon the candidate for Hedong Taishou was determined, and it was a member of the Hedong Liu clan named Liu Shi. And this Liu Shi is strictly related to the countryside is not as close as Xingtai, but as early as the Huainan Governor's Mansion period to join the Xinshi Pavilion of the time, all the way to the end of 2,000 stones, should be regarded as the descendant of General Shen of Xingtai.
However, the most concerning thing is the creation of the military government in Hedong, Xue Tao was promoted to serve as the military governor, which is basically expected.
As far as the generals in Taiwan are concerned, the current Hedong is basically a marginal war zone, and there is really no opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so they are too lazy to compete. For the people of Hedong Township, military power is the most sensitive matter, and the creation of a military government in Hedong basically represents the official entry of the Wang Shi forces into the Hedong countryside, and this force is now presided over by the head of their township sect, which can be regarded as the best result that can be achieved in the current situation.
However, the most important thing at the moment is not the establishment of the ruling order in Hedong, but the construction of the Fenyin Water Camp.
This water camp is not only a simple water army camp defense, but also the largest distribution center of the Yellow River west of Luoyang, from Fenyin to Puban This section of the river is almost all included.
Before the official construction, the Xue clan in Hedong took the initiative to give up nearly half of the area of the local dock wall controlled by his family to house the prisoners, criminal households and other hard labor transported to the north from Hongnong, Shangluo and other places.
In this cold winter, taking advantage of the drop in the water level of the Yellow River, these laborers will immediately put into construction, and it can be said that the task of completing the main construction of the Fenyin Water Camp along the river from the end of this year to the spring ploughing next year can be said to be very arduous.
The construction of the Fenyin Water Camp can be described as a very important event, and its significance even exceeds the military achievements made between Hongnong and Shangluo.
Therefore, at the beginning of the construction, Shen Zhezi ordered the front-line generals to stop the offensive, keep some fighters in place to defend the key areas, and nearly two-thirds of the main combat troops retreated back to Hongnong to rest and recuperate, relying on Tongguan to supply nearby, so as to relieve the logistical pressure so as to concentrate more material resources on the construction of the Fenyin Water Battalion.
Once the construction of the Fenyin water camp is completed, not only can a large number of logistics materials be transferred to the east of the river through the Yellow River waterway and used nearby, but in the next year's abundant season, the Wang Shishui army can also advance west along the river and directly participate in the westward expedition operations.
In the camp of the general Huayin, because how the township affairs were finally settled and the results seemed to be good, the panic of those Hedong township tycoons who accompanied the army finally settled down, and they all resigned and left, preparing to return to their hometowns to cooperate with the government, or reorganize their families and plan to join the military government that was about to be created.
But although the people of Hedong Township are relieved, it does not mean that other people are the same, such as Murong Ke.
Murong Ke has been traveling into the Central Plains as a Liaodong proton for several years, and followed him all the way from Huainan Shouchun to Luoyang Xingtai. This time he had nothing to do with the army, but he had also made a small connection in the past few years in Tianzhong, and it was not difficult to seek a qualification to join the army.
Although his name is Proton, Murong Ke's life in the Central Plains is not very cramped, except for having to go to Xingtai to report every month, his daily activities are basically free at other times.
And because General Shen has been respectful to his people in the past few years, and in recent years, the sea trade with Liaodong has gradually become large-scale, and Murong Ke's own quality is not low, and there is no vulgar and inferior state of Bianyi, so he has gradually become famous in some small circles in Luoyang.
But this does not mean that Murong Ke's life is very comfortable, mainly because of the sadness of living in a distant place and sending people under the fence, but because of the pressure from the tribe.
A few years earlier, General Shen was in Jiangdong to suppress chaos and rectify the dynasty, and became the most powerful minister in the Jin court in Jiangdong in one fell swoop.
At the same time, the Murong Department in Liaodong was also affected and affected. The first is the extermination of the Bohai Feng clan, which caused a lot of turmoil in Liaodong, especially among the Jin people, and many Jin clans who were originally attached to Murong Hao in the Great Thorn City fled, either to the east to attach to Murong Ren, or simply to go into Liaoxi, hoping to find a way to escape south there.
The second is that Murong Ren, who was originally weakening, was able to grow stronger again, after all, it is no secret that his people accept Huainan's secret assistance in Liaodi, and General Shen is dominant in Jiangdong, so naturally he also gave his people the opportunity to fake the tiger power in Liaobian, and he recruited a group of Jin people and some weak tribes around.
The rivalry between the two brothers, Murong Hao and Murong Ren, will not affect Murong Ke who is far away in Zhongzhou for the time being. However, the collapse of the Feng clan within the Murong clan has brought a lot of changes to Murong Ke's situation.
Because of the death of the Feng family, it was precisely because of Murong Ke's planning that he sent a letter to Liaodong to contact some elders with real power such as Murong Ping and Murong Yun, and finally achieved the goal of eradicating the Feng family.
Later, General Shen really kept his promise and gave Murong Ke the right to deal with trade matters. Some of the treasured goods produced in Zhongzhou, including a small amount of fine ordnance, were continuously sent to Liaodong through the hands of Murong Ke. And all kinds of medicinal materials, pearls, jade, furs and other goods produced in Liaodong also began to appear in large numbers in Zhongzhou.
In this process, although Murong Ke could not return to Liaodong in person to manage his own power, he also skillfully used his core position to envelop several greedy uncles such as Murong Ping in his own circle of interests, and used the strength of these people to successfully complete several tasks arranged by the stage, such as attracting some important figures of the Jin people to the south.
Murong Ke also understood that his behavior might be beneficial to himself, but it would definitely be a disservice to the entire clan. And as the situation develops, Murong will inevitably become weaker and weaker, which in turn will affect his situation in the Central Plains.
Although General Shen treated him well, a considerable part of it was based on the value of the Murong Department itself. Without these, in the current situation of rampant trouble, even if he is talented, it will be difficult for him to get any opportunities to make great progress in Zhongzhou.
Therefore, Murong Ke also tried his best to find a situation that could achieve a balance, not only not to damage the strength of his own clan too much, but also to always get preferential treatment from Xingtai. However, such a balance is too difficult to grasp, and the means that Murong Ke has are too scarce.
He hadn't thought of a solution here, but a tough opponent had already appeared, that is, Murong Yun, who was sent south by his father Murong Hao. Murong Yun is the brother of his grandfather Murong Diao, although he is known for his humility and courtesy, but that was when he faced his grandfather and father, Murong Ke would naturally not be taken into account as an abandoned son who had lost power.
It is true that after Murong Yun came to the south, his posture can be described as strong, not only visiting high-profile officials and celebrities, but also wanting to directly intervene in the business affairs that Murong Ke managed.
However, high-profile also has the disadvantage of being high-profile, Murong Yun himself is not familiar with the customs of Xingtai, and his words are vulgar and lacking in style, which is not accepted by the people of the time at all. Even because of the bribery of the officials of the company, Murong Ke was worried that he would be affected so that he ran to rescue him, which can be described as a disgrace.
Although Xingtai was frustrated, it did not mean that Murong Yun did not have the ability to compete with Murong Ke, since Zhongzhou had nothing to do, then he would do something in Liaodong.
After all, part of the trade had to be completed in Liaodong, and Murong Yun's strength in Liaodong was far from being comparable to Murong Ke, and he was sent to Zhongzhou by his father Murong Hao to teach him a rebellious son.
The simplest point is that as long as the goods arrived through Murong Yun in Liaodong, they all increased their prices, which greatly highlighted the role of Murong Yun. And Murong Ping and the others, who were on Murong Ke's side, were really short-sighted and unwilling to give him greater support, but frequently sent letters to blame him for his reduced profits.
As a result, Murong Ke's situation has become extremely embarrassing, the businessman's profit-seeking nature, except for some official controlled goods in Taiwan, most of the rest of the private goods channels have fallen into the hands of Murong Yun.
After the position of this hub was gradually lost, Murong Ke's previous transcendent situation gradually disappeared. At this time, Murong Yun came to tell his father Murong Hao that as long as he was willing to return to the Liaodong clan land, he would not be blamed for his past mistakes.
This kind of nonsense, Murong Ke no longer believed it at the beginning of his understanding, and took a step back, even if his father would not kill him, his brothers, including Murong Ping and others, who had lost because of his gains before, would not let him go. Since he decided to disobey his father and help Huainan solve the Feng clan, he has no way out.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the competition from the clansmen had already made Murong Ke feel distressed, and Xingtai's military strategy suddenly made a big turn, holding the Hebei defense line steadily, and then marching west into Guanzhong.
On the surface, this matter seems to have little to do with their Liaodong Murong clan, but before being forced by the situation, his father had to frequently harass Liaoxi in exchange for the support of Xingtai, and now he has a deeper grudge with the Qianguo, if the threat to the south becomes smaller, Shi Hu is very likely to throw all his forces into Liaodi, in order to solve the border trouble of the Murong clan once and for all!
The current situation is just a strategic adjustment for Xingtai, but for the Murong clan, it has directly risen to the danger of life and death!
If you want to survive this danger, you need to draw General Shen's attention back to Liaodong a little again.
Taking a step back, even if the Murong clan can't be saved this time, Murong Hao still needs to take advantage of the fact that the clan power has not yet been destroyed, and strive for a part of the capital to be able to live in the future.
This is the main reason why he fought for the army this time, because the strategic focus of Xingtai has shifted overnight, and in ordinary times, it is difficult for Murong Ke to see General Shen again.
