Chapter 1049: Prologue to the Secret Dispute
Five days later, Zhao Hongrun and his entourage passed by Anyi, Hedong, where his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, was stationed in the main force of the Northern First Army. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
I remember that last year, Zhao Hongrun had a conflict with his younger brother, so in line with the idea of not being out of sight and out of mind, he did not bypass Anyi, but this time, he specially walked around Anyi.
According to the report of the Black Crows, his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan did have some improvement in the rectification of the Northern First Army, at least the Black Crows did not hear about the soldiers of the Northern First Army bullying and offending the local people, so it can be seen that Zhao Hongxuan and Zhou Yu must have strengthened the military discipline of the Northern First Army.
In fact, at the beginning, Zhao Hongrun thought about going to the barracks of the Northern First Army to check for his younger brother, but after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Hongrun gave up.
After all, his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan has grown up, even if the system of the Northern First Army is still insufficient, it should be handled by his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan.
What's more, Zhao Hongrun had clearly recognized his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan's identity as the 'commander of the Northern First Army' when he was in Qiguan, and it would be inappropriate to rashly meddle in the internal affairs of the Northern First Army at this time.
Therefore, Zhao Hongrun just sent someone to inquire about the current situation of the Northern First Army, and when he learned that there were no major problems, he bypassed Anyi and went directly to Fenyin.
After another four or five days, when it was about October, Zhao Hongrun and his party finally arrived at the destination of this trip - Fenyin, Hedong.
Fenyin is located on the east bank of the river at the confluence of Fenshui and the river, and most of the territory is a sloping plain in front of the mountain, with local hilly terrain, and only a small part is a rock-based mountainous area. In general, it has many advantages, such as flat terrain, abundant water, and fertile land, which is very suitable for farming.
In fact, Fenyin, Puban, and Anyi have always been the cities with more grain production in Hedong County.
The fly in the ointment is that when the big rivers have flooded in the past, Fenyin and Puban may have disasters that have been flooded, and they belong to places where floods are more serious.
Therefore, when inspecting Fenyin, Zhao Hongrun had already thought of a series of development plans for Fenyin and Puban.
The first thing to do is to build embankments to ensure that flooding is avoided, otherwise everything will be in vain.
After inspecting the Bafenshui and the river, Zhao Hongrun came to the farmland of Fenyin.
It has to be said that Fenyin is worthy of being a city and county suitable for cultivation in Hedong County, and there is farmland almost everywhere outside the city, but it is a pity that about seven or eight of these farmlands are full of wild grass, and only two or three percent of the farmland is planted with crops.
However, Zhao Hongrun was not surprised by this, because he knew that the year before last, the Korean cavalry was killed here, causing many Fenyin people to be slaughtered, and the autumn harvest grain was also looted by the Korean cavalry.
For example, "Jie" County was once broken by the South Korean army, and the city and farmland were destroyed.
When inspecting Fenyin, Kou Zheng listened carefully to Zhao Hongrun's narration, especially when listening to the plan of His Royal Highness King Su beside him for Fenyin, Kou Zheng listened very carefully.
It's no wonder, after all, if there is nothing else, he Kou Zheng is about to become the county commander of this city, which is a city with as many as a few hundred county residents in the city, especially after the invasion of the Korean army, because the civilians outside the city have fled into Fenyin, so that the population of Fenyin has increased dramatically.
How to properly govern this city with a large population is what Kou Zheng will consider in the future.
During this period, Zhao Hongrun also vaguely mentioned to Kou Zheng the idea of "separation of the political and military in Fenyin".
I have to say that the authority of the county order of Wei is very large, and the two adjutants under him, the county chief is in charge of civil affairs, and the county lieutenant is in charge of the county soldiers, so it can be said that the military and government are in their hands.
But this model is not suitable for Fenyin.
Because in Zhao Hongrun's conception, Fenyin is to garrison heavy troops, at least an army of more than 20,000 people, if Kou Zheng has enough qualifications, Zhao Hongrun does not mind handing over the military power to Kou Zheng - South Korea's so-and-so, this is the model.
But it's a pity that Kou Zheng is still young, and he handed over tens of thousands of troops to him, even if Zhao Hongrun is at ease with him, the imperial court is not at ease - not to mention Kou Zheng's loyalty to the country for the time being, can this person's talent be in charge of a Fenyin army of tens of thousands of people?
You must know that the Fenyin Army is an important factor in stabilizing Hexi in the future!
And Kou Zheng also understood this truth, so when he heard Zhao Hongrun put forward the concept of separation of military and government, he was not too touched in his heart.
In fact, in his opinion, it is already a great honor for him to be the county magistrate of a city with hundreds or even nearly 1,000 households.
However, for the general who garrisoned Fenyin, Kou Zheng was still a little curious and worried, lest the other party be a difficult person to get along with.
In this regard, Zhao Hongrun smiled and comforted Kou Zheng: "Lord Wei Ji of Lintao Jun is a generous and benevolent person. ”
Hearing the name "Lintao Jun Wei Ji", Kou Zheng was slightly stunned, and his expression was a little puzzled.
Seeing his expression, Zhao Hongrun knew that Kou Zheng definitely didn't pay too much attention to domestic affairs, so after shaking his head with a wry smile, he introduced the origin of Lintaojun Wei Ji to Kou Zheng, and Kou Zheng suddenly realized.
Suddenly realized, Kou Zheng couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.
After all, in Zhao Hongrun's introduction, Lintao Jun Wei Ji is a commander's talent, and he can govern Fenyin on an equal footing with such a commander's talent, if it weren't for the recommendation of His Royal Highness King Su beside him, Kou Zheng understands that he will never be able to enjoy this honor on his own.
"The rest of the things will be discussed in detail after Lord Wei Ji arrives in Fenyin." Zhao Hongrun smiled and comforted Kou Zheng, who was a little excited.
"Count the days, Lintao Jun Wei Ji should also receive the letter from this king, right?"
Looking at the somewhat depressed and ruined Fenyin City in front of him, Zhao Hongrun said secretly in his heart.
In fact, as early as a day ago, Wei Ji, the king of Lintao, had already received a letter sent to him by Zhao Hongrun when he passed through Tianmen Pass.
At that time, Wei Ji, the king of Lintao, and Gong Yuan, the battalion general of the Junshui Army's shooting battalion, were stationed in Suxukou with the fleet in charge, and were preparing to return to Daliang to resume their lives.
At first, Lintaojun Wei Ji thought it was just an ordinary letter, after all, when Zhao Hongrun was in Qishui a while ago, Lintaojun Wei Ji was still stationed in Suxukou, and the two did not have a chance to meet, so he thought that Zhao Hongrun wrote him this letter, which probably meant to greet him.
After all, among the Wei people in Longxi, Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, only had a good relationship with three people, one was Jiang Contempt, the general of the Northern Second Army, the second was Zhao Sheng, the third was him, Wei Ji, the king of Lintao.
As for the depth of friendship, Zhao Sheng, the first to recommend Zhao Sheng, after all, Zhao Sheng is also the Zhao family, and has an innate advantage in this regard, plus this person is now the adjutant of Zhao Yuanyan, the king of Yi, who served as the commander of the Zongfu, therefore, Zhao Sheng, the king of Zhujun, is the person who has the best relationship with Zhao Hongrun among the Wei people in Longxi.
I remember that a while ago, Zhao Hongrun also wrote a letter to Zhao Sheng, the monarch of Han Wangran, to ask for a parrot and give it to the latter.
And secondly, it is Lintao Jun Wei Ji.
Compared with Zhao Sheng, Zhao Hongrun has a lot of respect for Lintaojun Wei Ji, but this does not prevent Zhao Hongrun from wanting to get closer to Lintao Jun Wei Ji. And Lintao Jun Wei Ji also tends to befriend His Royal Highness King Su who holds heavy troops and is in charge of the Smelting Bureau.
In Wei Ji's opinion, if he wants to recapture Longxi from the hands of Qin in the future, he must rely on Zhao Hongrun, His Royal Highness the King of Su, after all, the best weapons and equipment of Wei State at present are from the smelting bureau in charge of this highness.
Therefore, when Wei Ji mistakenly thought that Zhao Hongrun had specially written to him and asked him to drink together after returning to Daliang in the future, Wei Ji was very happy in his heart.
However, after Wei Ji opened the letter and took a few glances, his mood immediately changed from happy to excited.
It's not because Zhao Hongrun recommended him to be the general of the garrison in Fenyin, thinking that when he Wei Ji was in Longxi, he was also the commander with more than 100,000 troops, how could he be excited because of the Fenyin military power of tens of thousands of people, the real reason is that Zhao Hongrun made it clear in the letter that the "Fenyin Army" was an army prepared for the expansion of his Wei State to Hexi and Hetao regions, and according to Lintao Jun Wei Ji's understanding, some areas in Hexi currently belong to the Qin State.
In other words, before retaking Longxi, his lifelong wish, Wei Ji, the king of Lintao, had the opportunity to recover an interest from the Qin people - this was what made him most excited.
So after receiving Zhao Hongrun's letter, Lintao Jun Wei Ji wrote a reply to Zhao Hongrun on the same day, and then immediately led the fleet back to Daliang and returned to Wei Tianzi.
In fact, he can't wait to fly to Fenyin at the moment, but unfortunately, as a member of the Wei people in Longxi, his identity is somewhat sensitive, if he leaves the fleet and goes to Fenyin on the same day, there may be someone in the court who impeaches him for bullying the king, so no matter what, Lintao Jun Wei Ji has to go back to Daliang, return to Wei Tianzi in person, and then go to Fenyin.
In fact, when Lintaojun Wei Ji led the fleet back to Daliang, Wei Tianzi had actually received a letter from his son Zhao Hongrun.
"This bad son, if he doesn't go back to Daliang to recover his life, he went to Hedong alone, it's really not worry-free!"
When receiving the letter, Wei Tianzi scolded the great eunuch Tong Xian with a smile.
Tong Xian smiled but said nothing.
In fact, not to mention Tong Xian, even the little eunuchs who were waiting on the side could hear Wei Tianzi's affection for King Su Zhao Hongrun.
Indeed, although he kept saying that "it is not worry-free", Wei Tianzi felt extremely pleased that his son Zhao Hongrun quickly went to Hedong after the end of the Handan war.
How could he not have guessed the reason why Zhao Hongrun went to Hedong?
"Well, let me take a look...... Ooh? recommended Kou Zheng as the commander of Fenyin, and recommended Wei Ji as the commander of the Fenyin army, so that the military and government of Fenyin were separated...... Kou Zheng?'
After thinking about it, Wei Tianzi asked the great eunuch Tong Xiandao: "Shangxian Kou Zheng, isn't it the top spot on the gold list in the sixteenth year examination?" ”
"Exactly." Although the great eunuch Tong Xian wondered why Wei Tianzi suddenly asked about this, he still said truthfully.
"Oh." Wei Tianzi touched his chin thoughtfully, and secretly guessed in his heart: Kou Zheng, could it be that he defected to my family's tiger?
After a long time, Wei Tianzi stood up and stood at the window looking at the courtyard.
"Fenyin Order, Pusaka Order, Beiqu Order...... That bad son, he never mentioned the 'Pi's Order'......
Wei Tianzi sighed faintly.
He knew that his son, who had been upright, had also learned to compromise and to see things from a king's point of view.
For some reason, Wei Tianzi was relieved, but his mood couldn't help but be a little heavy.
