Grassland and Youzhou were initially decided, so after Yuan Xi discussed with a few people such as Xian Yufu, Yan Rou, Tian Yu, Tian Chou, and in order to better understand the interests and needs of each force, Yuan Xi decided on a series of official positions under the governor. Xi did not delegate.
It was just announced to the outside world that the emperor's edict has not yet been issued and cannot be easily appointed, so. . .
Of course, all the forces are understanding. Of course, they understand that this is just an excuse. When did the Emperor, the Yuan family ever take the Emperor seriously? If you are a bitch, don't build a memorial arch.
In terms of government affairs in Youzhou, Yuan Xi is led by Tian Chou, supplemented by Xian Yufu and others. Currently, he is dealing with some daily trivial matters, and he also wants to take this opportunity to train these people.
He also promoted some of the policies implemented in Guangyang to the entire Youzhou. The newly employed second-generation talents under his command, Yuan Mai, Tian Hong, Juhu, Shenrong, Xinpi, Xianyuyin and others, took advantage of this opportunity. They go deep into the people and understand the people's livelihood hardships, becoming Hebei's second-tier talent echelon.
Although the counties in Youzhou are now submissive, they secretly don't buy into the Yuan family. Fortunately, with the help of Xianyu and the comfort of Liu He, the son of the late Liu Yu, the counties in Youzhou can not betray Yuan Xi's face, but He didn't dare to offend Liu He, the head of the Xianyu family of the Youzhou family and the son of the old lord Liu Yu.
Among the big families in Youzhou, the Gongsun family was crippled by the Yuan family, and their power shrank in western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning. However, the Tian family was a rare Confucian heirloom in northern Xinjiang, and was no more influential in official career than the other two families.
The ancestors of the Xianyu family were naturalized Hu people, and it has been passed down to Xianyufu for dozens of generations. In the past dynasties, they all served as officials in Youzhou, either as county guards or in the profession, and they had great influence among the officials and people of Youzhou.
Especially in the Battle of Yijing a few years ago, Xian Yufu helped the allied forces to attack the Gongsun family, which made the Xian Yu family's reputation unparalleled in Youzhou. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are a local snake.
It can be said that Xian Yufu's words can defeat Yuan Xi's tens of thousands of troops. That's why Yuan Xi couldn't wait to win over Xian Yu's family. It can be said that the Xianyu family is Yuan Xi's master of the North Road, and his achievements are comparable to that of Dou Rong, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty.
Yuan Mai, Tian Hong, Juhu, Shenrong, Xinpi and Xian Yuyin, under the protection of the army and the care of Xian Yufu, rushed to Zhuojun, Shanggu County, Daijun, Yuyang County, Youbeiping County, Liaoxi County statistics on population, acres of land, atlas, and understanding of people's livelihood and sentiments.
Moreover, Yuan Xi also sent the Tiger Guard Camp and two hundred captains Xu Yi and Wang Shuang to protect Yuan Mai. It can be seen that Yuan Xi still valued the fifth son Yuan Mai. Before the emperor's edict arrived in Hebei, the subordinates of the governors and governors of each county Official, Yuan Xi does not plan to appoint him yet.
In terms of military affairs, Yuan Xi decided to disrupt and reorganize the 20,000 former Yuan Tan troops who had recently surrendered, and assigned them to Yan Rou, Tian Yu, and Tian Chou. But the latest defection is to use barbarians to form an army. There were already a large number of Hu soldiers in the crusade organized by Xian Yufu.
After the overall situation of the Northern Expedition was initially decided, some Sanhuan soldiers took refuge. Xian Yufu and others demobilized all the old and weak Han people, leaving only a few elites. Among these people were Hu people, and Yuan Xi did not intend to let them go. If you leave, the natural soldiers will be used in vain.
These Hu people are not only skilled with bows and horses, good at conquering and fighting, and are familiar with the war laws and regulations of the Han army, but more importantly, keeping them can weaken the strength of their tribes. After all, a group of Hu cavalry who have been trained by the Han tribe are better than those herdsmen. The herdsmen recruited in a hurry are much more terrifying, and they can be regarded as a castrated version of Zhao Kuangyin's methods.
Yan Rou can do the most to keep these Hu soldiers. Ever since Liu Ye was assigned as the shadow guard "Black Ice" to spy on intelligence and military affairs, he quickly adapted to the role.
The first batch of information sent up was the personal information of some former Liu Jun bosses. Everyone's property, hobbies, and even the woman's favorite room to spend the night in at night are all clearly known.
Let’s talk about this Yan Rou, Guangyang Yan Rou, Shaomowu Wan, Xianbei Zhong, who is a believer of his kind. Because of the Xianbei people, Rou Nai killed Wu Wan captain Xing Ju and replaced him. He assisted Yan Rou, who had always been kind and trustworthy, and was promoted to Wuhuan Sima.
Yan Rou lured tens of thousands of people from the Hu and Han Dynasties, and fought with Zou Dan, the governor of Yuyang appointed by Gongsun Zan, in Lubei, killing more than 4,000 people including Dan.
When it comes to her background, Yan Rou was a poor lower-middle peasant, and her parents died young, so she and her younger brother Yan Zhi depended on each other. When the barbarians invaded the fortress, both brothers were prepared to be taken as slaves. In a certain era of later generations, they could have gone sideways. of.
However, this was not the case in the Han Dynasty's Youzhou. Yan Rou had suffered a lot since childhood and was often bullied. He vowed to stand out and trample those who bullied him under his feet.
Later, by chance, Yan Rou rescued the chief of his tribe. This Hu man was also a man of great loyalty. He not only helped Yan Rou get rid of his slave status, but also subsidized him a lot of money to help him live between Hu and Han. Doing business.
Yan Rou was also generous with her actions and treated Hu and Han equally, and soon accumulated a huge family fortune and reputation. However, he was a person who was unwilling to be lonely and was not satisfied with being a small businessman. Under his active operation, he used his relationship between the Xianbei and Wuhuan people to replace Wuhuan captain Xingju himself.
Xianyu raised an army and led tens of thousands of Han and Hu cavalry under his command. He also borrowed fine cavalry from the Hu tribes with whom he had good relations to assist in the battle. Yan Rou was eager to get ahead. After Yuan Jun occupied Youzhou, Yan Rou also visited Yuan Shao several times in private. Yuan Shao didn't pay much attention to him because he was born in a poor family. He only wanted to see his influence among the barbarians and agreed to tell him that he was a good person to the emperor. Colonel Hu Wuhuan, nothing more, but Yuan Xi had a good personal relationship with him.
After Yuan Xi took power, he also contacted Yan Rou many times, and Yan Rou cooperated with Yuan Xi's work. After all, during the crusade against Gongsun Zan, several of them were considered comrades-in-arms. Yan Rou also recommended Duan Pixi to Yuan Xi and recruited Wuhuan cavalry, so they were considered old acquaintances.
But until Liu He appeared in Youzhou, Yan Rou was not stupid, and she quickly smelled a hint of it. With Liu He's help, Yan Rou quickly expressed her surrender to Yuan Xi before Xian Yufu.
Leaving the Hu people in the coalition army was Yan Rou's first strategy to Yuan Xi.
And he is willing to contact various tribes for Yuan Xi and ask them to allow their tribesmen to serve as soldiers in Youzhou. Yuan Xi specially took out a thousand pieces of gold from Youzhou's treasury and asked Yan Rou to take charge of this matter. Yan Rou was greatly moved and prostrated herself to the ground. She appointed her lord Yuan Xi to recruit Hu Qi to defend Shanggu and other places in Haoda County.
The Youzhou New Army, which was reorganized by Zhang He and Guo Huai, is promising. Although he has not experienced training like the Tiger Guard Camp, his momentum is no less than that of the Tiger Guard Camp.
The Tiger Guard Camp, the Guards Camp, and the Xiaoqi Camp all came from Yuan Xi's Guards. After recruiting Yuan Tan to surrender, Yuan Xi expanded his guard camp to 800 people. They are all the best among the best, one is worth ten, and one is worth a hundred.
Still named Tiger Guard, the commander was concurrently appointed by Xu Chu, and the deputy commander was Zhu Gongdao. At the same time, to show his trust in his brother Yuan Mai, Yuan Xi assigned Xu Yi, Xu Chu's son, and Wang Shuang, a native of Longxi, to this younger brother.
Since Xu Chu also led the Guards Battalion, Xu Chu and Zhu Gongdao were jointly responsible for Yuan Xi's safety. Qu Yi first ascended the camp, and Ju Yi asked Yuan Xi many times to expand the first camp. This time, by integrating Yuan Tan's old troops, Yuan Xi fulfilled Ju Yi's wish. The new Xiandeng camp was built with a strength of 5,000 people, and the treatment was the same as Zhang He's. Together with Xu Huang's Xiliu Ying, they are the main force in Hebei.
The reconstruction of Baima Camp was what Yuan Xi had promised to the soldiers of Baima Yicong. He wanted to recreate the glory of Baima Yicong. He happened to take this opportunity to rebuild it. The commander was Tian Yu, but there were eight soldiers in this battalion. Qianqi, it is really a waste to have a general like Tian Yu by his side as a staff officer.
The original purpose of letting him serve as his staff was purely to let Tian Yu adapt to his new role and to let his old subordinates adapt to his existence. This time it was just right to go outside.
Most of the soldiers in the White Horse Camp came from Youbeiping. The Peking Iron Cavalry had been world-famous elites since the time of Emperor Xiaowu, which fulfilled one of Yuan Xi's dreams. Tian Yu's Baima Yicong still guards You Beiping generation and guards Sanhuan.
They originally sent troops to express gratitude to Liu Yu for his kindness and to avenge Liu Yu, but more importantly, they wanted to take advantage of the Han people's civil war to plunder money, women, and slaves, but they didn't want to end up losing all the money themselves.
Of course, in order to appease them, Yan Rou spent a lot of money on Yuan Xi. Youzhou's treasury, which was already financially tight, was almost at its bottom. Tian Chou, the head of the family, had lost his composure in front of Yuan Xi several times.
The treatment in Baima camp is also the same as that in Xiandeng camp.
The Huwei camp, the Guards camp, and the Xiaoqi camp were all Yuan Xi's personal troops, and they became Emperor Xuanwu's Central Army, which later became famous all over the world.
The Tuqi camp was led by Xian Yuyin, and the Hu Qi camp was led by Yan Rou. The Tu Qi camp, Hu Qi camp, and Baima camp all assisted Tian Chou in defending Youzhou. They still lacked talents.
At the suggestion of his secretary Liu Ye, Yuan Xi, as the Lord of Hebei, issued the "Order to Seek Talent" in Youzhou:
In the third year of Jian'an in the Wei Dynasty, the Weiwei (the term used here refers to the official position of the imperial court, rather than the official position that Yuan Xi of Hebei Province considered himself, and it also reflects the Yuan family's arrogance, which is not the courtesy of a human minister) Linzi Marquis Yuan Xi told the officials and people of Youzhou: Is it true that a king who has been appointed to rejuvenate the world since ancient times cannot be a wise man and a gentleman to rule the world with him? Even if he has found a wise man, he has never left the alley. How lucky is he to meet him? Those who are above seek to obtain the ear. Today, Youzhou has not yet been settled, and this is a time when the need for talents is urgent.
If Meng Gongchuo is a senior official of Zhao or Wei, he will be superior, but he cannot be a doctor of Teng or Xue. If only honest men can be used later, how can Qi Huanqi dominate the world? Is there anyone who catches the brown jade in today's rain and fishes in Weibin? Is it true that there are no thieves and no wives, and no one who is ignorant has met with gold?
The second and third sons, their assistants, are plain and simple, but only their talents can be used. Anyone with a certain skill can apply. Regardless of their origin, they will be hired based on their talents.
A new Qianxian Pavilion was built at the old site of King Yanzhao's Golden Terrace to provide a temporary rest for those who applied for recruitment from all over the country. As soon as this order came out, Youzhou was shocked. And spread to the states and counties of the Han Dynasty through different channels, and Yuan Xi's name of loving talents began to spread widely throughout the Han Dynasty.
This order was brought to various counties by Yuan Mai, Tian Hong, Ju Hu, Shen Rong, and Xin Pi, and was widely spread. Soon Wang Song from Yuyang and Weidun, an old official of Liu Yu, came to apply. Wei Dun was the one who kidnapped Liu Yu's head. When Liu He heard that he had come to surrender, he immediately thanked him with heavy gifts, but Wei Dun refused.
Liu He therefore valued him and recommended him to Yuan Xi. Yuan Xi recognized his righteous deeds and awarded him the position he held in Youzhou. At the same time, Yan Rou did not avoid relatives when he promoted talents, and recommended his younger brother Yan Zhi as his deputy to assist him in commanding Hu Qiying, and Yuan Xi agreed.
Wang Song, also named Xiaoxian, was the twenty-eight general of Yuntai, Emperor Guangwu. After Wang Liang became the Marquis of Yinfu in Henan, he saw that the world was in chaos and the princes were rising everywhere. He wanted to choose a master to assist him and make achievements. Yuan Xi was pleased to apply when the announcement came. Yuan Xi used his position as Sima of the Youzhou Army to assist Tian Yu in running the Baima Camp.
Wang Song also recommended Gongsun Zan's old general Kou Zhong. The twenty-eight generals of Yuntai were appointed after Kou Xun, the Marquis of Jinwu Yongnu, and Geng Di after the Jianwei General Hao Jiehou Geng Yan. Yuan Xi hired them according to their talents, leaving Kou Zhong and Geng Di Assist Xian Yuyin to obey Tian Chou's orders.
The Wang family once rebelled against Zan and returned to Shao, and led troops to attack Gongsun Zan, but was persuaded to retreat by Tian Yu, who was the magistrate of Dongzhou at the time. He was also a very loyal man. Yuan Xi also asked him to join the Baima camp as Tian Yu's deputy. Gongsun Zan's old general was Guan Jing, and Yuan Xi sent him to assist Yan Rou in handling Shanggu affairs and open up mutual markets to benefit the country and the people.
It took only a few people to join Yuan Xi and he was put into important positions, which greatly increased Yuan Xi's reputation and brought great benefits to the later conquests of scholars.
The army was reorganized twice before and after, and a total of more than 20,000 old and weak people were eliminated. However, Yuan Xi did not follow Gongsun Zan's practice of releasing these people back to their hometowns.
But it was governed by the farming method that Yuan Xi explored in Qingzhou, which was the real border settlement. Twenty thousand people still maintained military status, and they and their families were placed around Jicheng according to the military establishment and were responsible for farming for military purposes. He is a soldier in wartime and a farmer in his spare time.
They participate in military training regularly every year and are not under the jurisdiction of local governments. They are called military camps and the crops they produce are divided into 40 and 60 parts. In the process of reorganizing the army, in order to enhance the cohesion among the troops, these new troops were under the command of their respective captains and obeyed the commander-in-chief Zhang He. They suppressed bandits throughout Youzhou and trained troops in actual combat.
For a time, bandits were everywhere in Youzhou. The bandits who were once rampant on the hillsides either surrendered or were all killed. Regarding the bandits and bandits who surrendered, Yuan Xi gathered them in Yuyang territory. After all, there were mostly desperate people here, and how many of them were extremely vicious people.
For these people, Yuan Xi has his own arrangements. With the assistance of Zhen Yao's Zhen Family Shop, teacher Zhang Hong and secretary Liu Ye have been very busy these days. Reintegrate the multiple intelligence organizations in your hands.
The newly established intelligence agency is still divided into two. Zhang Hong's secret guards are responsible for collecting, analyzing and transmitting intelligence, including Hua Xu and Zhu Ao, and Liu Ye's shadow guards are responsible for assassinating and spying, including Shi A and Han Long. The two cooperate with each other but do not belong to each other. , directly under the command of Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi's secret guards and shadow guards were borrowed from the Han Dynasty's embroidered-clothed direct envoys. "The List of Hundred Officials and Officials in the Book of Han" states: "There are embroidered-clothed direct envoys in the Han Dynasty who serve as censors, and they go out to punish traitors and cunning people. They govern the prison. It was made by Emperor Wu, not Permanently placed.”
At this time, Taizong Xuanwu Emperor Yuan Xi used various means to show his extraordinary ambitions to his subordinates.
