Xie Linong was in Longde Mansion. In addition to garrisoning the place, he also had another task, which was to find out information about the Puppet Qi.
Unlike Cao Zhiyan and Shao Xing, Xie Linong is naturally thoughtful, good at making strategies, and is good at spying on intelligence and exploring people's privacy. Wang Ruohai's Jiyi Department, no matter where they are, is only limited to asking for information and never does anything else. Anything beyond this scope is generally the responsibility of others. What Xie Li Nong is engaged in is something Ji Yisi does not do.
After chatting for a while, Wang Xiaolie asked: "After the Battle of Zhongmou, Liu Yu must have been greatly shocked. What's the news?"
Xie Li Nongdao: "After the establishment of the country, the Puppet Qi recruited people into the army on a large scale, and also recruited various forces to join the army. Their army, before the battle of Zhongmou, should have been nearly 60,000 people. After the battle of Zhongmou, Half of the loss was lost, and he was much more honest. Before the war, Liu Yu had always wanted to move the capital to Kaifeng Mansion, and made a lot of preparations. As a result, Liu Lin was vulnerable in Zhongmou, which frightened Liu Yu. The news I heard, because Daming Mansion It is not far from Longde Mansion. Liu Yu is afraid that we will attack from Taihang and wants to move the capital to Dongping Mansion. Zheng Yinian was recently appointed as the governor of Daming Prefecture, so he should be making preparations."
Wang Xiaolie smiled and said: "If it weren't for the Jin Army behind us, we would have destroyed Liu Yu this winter. With the Jin Army, we would have kept Liu Yu. At least it is not the Jin Army's territory, and there are many things that can be done. Now the puppet Qi Dynasty is inside , who are the people taking advantage of them? What is their attitude towards us?"
Xie Li Nongdao: "After the First World War in Zhongmou, Liu Lin became the left prime minister, and the right prime minister was still Zhang Xiaochun. The minister was Zhang Ang, the left prime minister was Zhang Dong, and the right prime minister was Fan Gong. Except for Liu Yu, the people who served in the puppet Qi Dynasty were My relatives are these people."
Wang Xiaolie nodded and thought about the life experiences of these people. Except for Zhang Xiaochun, who was originally the pacifier of Hedong in the Song Dynasty and knew Taiyuan Prefecture, his life experience is relatively clear, and the others are not familiar to him. There is no other way but to slowly collect information on these people in the future.
Wang Ruohai asked: "Which of these people can be used by me, and which ones are determined to work for Jin and Puppet Qi?"
Xie Lijiadao said: "I didn't have much time to send people to Daming Mansion, so I can only give you a brief impression. Zhang Xiaochun was originally the pacifier of Hedong. During the Jingkang period, he defended Taiyuan Mansion. When the city was broken, he had to surrender gold. Liu Yu made Zhang Xiaochun his right prime minister. The purpose is to use his reputation to appease the people. Among these important officials, the one who cares most about his motherland is Zhang Xiaochun. However, although Zhang Xiaochun is the right prime minister, he actually has no real power."
Wang Xiaoxing said: "The fortified city of Taiyuan was defended for two to three hundred days, which is really rare during the Jingkang period. Zhang Xiaochun could use some thought."
Wang Ruohai said: "The information my informant got is that Liu Yu does not trust Zhang Xiaochun. Although he is allowed to be his boss, he does not give him real power."
Xie Linong nodded: "Yes, this is something everyone knows, it's not a secret. Because no one wants Liu Yu, he still wants to use him even though he knows that Zhang Xiaochun is like this. Even the golden man is very polite to Zhang Xiaochun. Except for Zhang Xiaochun In addition, the rest of the people can be considered loyal to Liu Yu."
Wang Xiaolie sighed: "Liu Yu is willing to be a lackey of the Jin people, and the whole world despises him. It is beyond words that these pseudo-Qi officials are willing to work for him. By the way, besides central officials, what else is there in the local government? Can people be used by me?"
Xie Li Nongdao: "The new Daming Palace Yin Zheng Yinian, I heard from his servants that he also cherishes his motherland. It's just that the signs are unclear, so I don't dare to believe him."
Wang Xiaolie said to Wang Ruohai: "Zheng Yinian, was he captured by Wushu in the mountains and seas the year before last? I remember that this person was related by marriage to Prime Minister Qin Hui?"
Wang Ruohai said: "Xuanfu's account is correct. Zheng Yinian is the second son of Daojun Emperor Zheng Juzhong, prime minister. He was originally a bachelor of Xianmo Pavilion. In the fourth year of Jianyan, he was destroyed by the Jin army. The Jin people established puppets. Qi Liuyu was originally the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. This year he was promoted to the Minister of the Daming Prefecture, but I haven't heard the news yet."
What Wang Xiaolie is most concerned about is whether Zheng Yinian and Qin Hui are related by marriage. After hearing what Wang Ruohai said, he had no choice but to ask: "I remember that he is Qin Xianggong's in-laws, right? What is their relationship?"
Wang Ruohai thought for a while and then said: "Yes. The former prime minister Wang Gui has a son Wang Zhongshan, and his daughter married Qin Hui. There is a queen who married Zheng Juzhong. The Wang family is Zheng Yinian's biological mother. Zheng Yinian You and Qin Hui are indeed related by marriage."
Wang Xiaoxing said: "Now Qin Hui is here
As the Prime Minister of the DPRK, it is normal for Zheng Yinian to have thoughts when he is feeling proud. "
At this time, the Jin Dynasty's internal strategy against the Song Dynasty had not yet been decided. Although Qin Hui was the prime minister, he did not do much. It was Prime Minister Lu Yihao who really presided over the strategy against gold. However, with memories of his past life, Wang Xiaolie never dared to ignore Qin Hui.
Zheng Yinian was Qin Hui's in-law, so he was not an ordinary person. But now that he is pretending to be an official in Qi, he might still be able to take advantage of it.
The Southern Song Dynasty court not only used Qin Hui, who had fled from the Jin army, as its prime minister, but also many officials who had surrendered to the Jin Dynasty and the puppet Qi Dynasty were reused. These people were just rising and falling in the officialdom as the relationship between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty changed.
Not punishing the surrendered ministers itself shows that Zhao Gou is not determined to fight against Jin's cause.
Xie Linong said: "These days, I have sent many people to rule under the Puppet Qi. However, the time is too short, and little information can be obtained. After a long time, a lot of useful information will be obtained. After the battle of Zhongmou, Under Puppet Qi's rule, people's hearts were shaken, and many officials had ideas. However, under Xuanfu's rule, they were all talents promoted by themselves. Although these people had ideas, they were not allowed to enter."
Wang Xiaolie sighed: "What can we do? We established the army in Xiangyang. Although we have achieved many military exploits, the court has never regarded us as a regular army. The court sees us this way, and the officials are certainly no exception. After so many years, we have also No one comes to serve me."
Wang Ruohai said: "This time it will be different after the Battle of Xijing. I read the official document of Councilor Chen. The imperial court allows officials to serve as officials under our rule. There are many people who signed up. Now dozens of people have arrived in Luoyang. But Xuan Fu is not here. Luoyang City is hard to arrange at the moment."
Wang Xiaolie was stunned: "Is there anyone here? I haven't seen such an official document a few days ago."
Wang Ruohai said: "It's a new official document that arrived yesterday. Because it was sent from Jinzhou, it has not been handed over to Xuanfu yet."
Wang Xiaolie said happily: "It would be nice to have someone. Without officials, many counties have had to use public servants to manage affairs in recent years. How can this be done? In fact, the government affairs of many states and counties can only be divided into provinces and provinces, but cannot be managed at all. It’s good to have someone, and a lot of things can be done.”
Wang Ruohai said: "Who and how many people have come will not be known until we return to Luoyang. Moreover, under our rule, unlike the court rules, these officials cannot actually be used."
Wang Xiaolie said: "Ten of them have come. It will be good if half of them can be used. Those who cannot be used will have a place to arrange them. To be an official under our rule is just like an officer who has to go to a military school. Officials also have to go to school to study. OK."
Wang Ruohai nodded and said nothing.
After occupying Xiangyang, in addition to establishing a military school, Wang Xiaolie also established an official school. However, the official school has no experience to draw on, and it is still imperfect until now. If there are a large number of officials coming this time, the official school can be improved first.
(The second update will be until early in the morning, sorry.)
