The next day.
Jiannan.
The main hall of the government office in Chengdu.
"See the envoy."
Bai Yuxian, dressed in official uniform, walked into the hall with his subordinates Gao Shi, Li Siye, Bai Qingzhi, Bai Ziyu, Wang Wei, Han Yu and Liu Yu and sat down on the throne.
Below, a group of Jiannan's main civil and military officials stood on the left and right sides and worshiped in unison, just like a small court meeting.
"No need to be polite."
Bai Yuxian nodded slightly and looked at the main civil and military officials of Jiannan present.
The main leaders of the civil service were Wang Wenru, Li Daosheng, and Mo Wenyuan, whom Bai Yuxian had met yesterday.
The main leaders of the military attache are Tian Hao, Jiang Wu, Guan Sheng, Zhou Quan, Zhao Wuzhou, Ximen Yan, and Dongfang Shuo, who were informed yesterday by Wang Wenru.
Tian Hao looks to be in his fifties, with gray beard and hair. He exudes the twilight aura of a veteran, but he is tall and burly with extraordinary momentum. His whole person looks like he is not angry and has a sense of self-power, just like a young man. The old lion.
Although the lion is old, he is still very powerful.
This is a tough guy.
His cultivation has also reached the seventh level of martial arts spiritual aperture.
However, it is impossible to improve and make breakthroughs in the future, because Tian Haoren is already old, and his entire physical body and blood are beginning to decline. In the future, his strength will only continue to decline without breakthroughs and improvements.
But Bai Yuxian did not despise Tian Hao because of this. Although Tian Hao's strength will only continue to decline in the future, even if it continues to decline, the cultivation realm of the seventh level of martial arts spiritual aperture is still here, just like an old lion. Generally speaking, even when he is old, he is still very comparable to others and should not be underestimated.
Moreover, another advantage of a veteran is that he is calm and experienced in situations. Such a experienced and powerful veteran is enough to be able to stand alone.
Except for Tian Hao, the other six Jiang Wu, Guan Sheng, Zhou Quan, Zhao Wuzhou, Ximen Yan, and Dongfang Shuo look much younger. The oldest Guan Sheng is just over forty years old, and the youngest Dongfang Shuo is Even before they are thirty, these people still have room for advancement.
These are all talents!
If I can use it for my own use in the future, I will try my best to use it for my own use.
There are also three people like Wang Wenru, Li Daosheng, and Mo Wenyuan who can be favored by Zhangchou Jianqiong and promoted to senior assistant officers to handle Jiannan's political affairs. They must also be capable people.
Whether these people are military generals or civil servants, as long as they are capable, Bai Yuxian decides to take them all for his own use. After all, if he wants to compete for the world in the future, his subordinates will definitely need both civil and martial arts skills. Talent.
After all, after conquering the world, you still have to govern and defend the world.
The demand for talents is even greater.
To put it bluntly, conquering the world may not be as difficult as governing and defending it.
Because when it comes to conquering the world, martial arts may be enough.
But if you want to govern the world well, then both civil and military skills are indispensable.
Bai Yuxian glanced at everyone calmly, and then spoke.
"There are three reasons for calling everyone here today."
"For one thing, I have just taken office this time. In order to better manage Jiannan in the future, I need to get to know everyone first. This will also facilitate the development of future affairs."
"Secondly, I want to reassure everyone that I came to Jiannan with the intention of managing Jiannan well. I will not change your positions for the time being. You can just continue to perform your duties step by step. , As long as everyone can work seriously and perform well in the future, if there is merit, I will not be stingy with rewards and promotions. Of course, if there is any, then I will not be polite."
"Third, when I come to Jiannan, I have also led an army of 10,000 people. Next, these 10,000 troops will be merged into Jiannan Army. At the same time, I will also cooperate with Jiannan Army based on the previous training arrangements. The Tiance Army has made some new military plans to draw on each other's strengths and weaknesses, so there will be some changes in the army in the future, but generals can rest assured that there will not be many changes to your original duties and responsibilities, and there will not be any suppression or belittling."
"To sum up, I will be in charge of Jiannan from now on. As long as you do your best, I will never treat you badly, and you will be rewarded for your merits."
"But on the other hand, if someone violates my orders and makes mistakes, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Hearing Bai Yuxian's words, Wang Wenru, Li Daosheng, Mo Wenyuan, Tian Hao, Jiang Wu and other Jiannan civil and military ministers present could not help but secretly heave a sigh of relief.
The initially anxious thoughts immediately calmed down.
What they were originally worried about was whether Bai Yuxian would suppress them in order to promote the cronies brought by Bai Yuxian himself.
Now it seems that Bai Yuxian has no intention in this regard, and they immediately feel relieved.
As long as Bai Yuxian doesn't have this intention and can treat them basically fairly and reward meritorious service, then they will naturally be willing to listen to Bai Yuxian's orders and even support Bai Yuxian.
They have no brains and insist on confronting Bai Yuxian, their new immediate boss.
Besides, Bai Yuxian's identity and strength are here. If they want to confront Bai Yuxian, aren't they looking for death?
As for Bai Yuxian's intention to integrate the Tiance army he brought into the Jiannan Army and reorganize it, this is what it should be. As long as Bai Yuxian does not deliberately suppress them, they will naturally have no objection.
Immediately they all raised their hands and said.
"You can rest assured that we will strictly follow your orders from now on, perform our respective duties, and wait for your orders, so that you can only follow your lead."
Bai Yuxian immediately nodded with satisfaction.
"In this way, I will remember your promise today."
"It reassures you."
After the morning meeting, Bai Yuxian also began to officially take over all the affairs of Jiannan.
First of all, it is mainly about the Jiannan Army.
When it comes to political affairs, Bai Yuxian plans to take a break for the time being. He just temporarily appoints Wang Wei, Han Yu, and Liu Yu as senior officials and Wang Wenru, Li Daosheng, and Mo Wenyuan to help understand and handle the political affairs in Jiannan. I ignored it for the time being.
Regarding the Jiannan Army, Bai Yuxian began to make adjustments in all aspects, and gradually incorporated his generals such as Gao Shi, Li Siye, Bai Qingzhi, Bai Ziyu and the Tiance Army into the Jiangnan Army.
The original Jiannan Army numbered 40,000, and with the addition of the 10,000 Tiance Army brought by Bai Yuxian this time, the total army would be exactly 50,000.
This went through several days of adjustments.
Bai Yuxian finally completed the reorganization of the Jiannan Army, and his generals such as Gao Shi, Li Siye, Bai Qingzhi, Bai Ziyu, and the Tiance Army were also successfully integrated into the Jiannan Army. There are people from the Tiance Army at the bottom or everywhere, so that if there is any trouble in the entire Jiannan Army, Bai Yuxian will know about it immediately.
At this point, Bai Yuxian has initially completed the takeover and control of the Jiannan Army.
Regarding the subsequent military training of the Jiannan Army, Bai Yuxian also adjusted accordingly and adopted the military training methods of the Tiance Army.
After all, Tiance Army's military training methods were summarized by Bai Yuxian through constant adjustments and practice over the years. It can definitely be said to be the most appropriate and effective military training method in the world.
Although the original Jiannan Army was not bad under Zhangchou Jianqiong's governance, it was still inferior to the Tiance Army's military training methods.
As for the next thing, it will take time to slowly and completely change the hearts of the original soldiers of the Jiannan Army.
After completing the takeover and control of Jiannan's military power, Bai Yuxian's eyes immediately fell on Jiannan's government affairs.
But now the political issues in Jiannan can be said to be a mess.
The fields are not harvested.
Disasters and floods continue.
There are countless refugees.
This is the problem in Jiannan today, and also the problem in the entire Tang Dynasty.
Bai Yuxian felt a headache as he looked at the problems that had arisen between his subordinates Wang Wenru, Li Daosheng and Mo Wenyuan and Wang Wei, Han Yu and Liu Yu.
"Your Majesty, the root cause of the problems under Jiannan's rule today is still natural disasters. Natural disasters continue, resulting in no harvest in the fields. Under such circumstances, the people cannot survive at all."
Wang Wei points directly to the fundamental way.
Bai Yuxian also nodded when he heard this.
The key issue is still natural disasters.
If the natural disaster cannot be solved, then everything will be in vain, which is the fundamental reason why Jiannan and even the entire Tang Dynasty are now in trouble.
But apart from this matter, there is another matter that needs to be solved for the current Bai Yuxian, and it is a top priority.
That is the issue of Nanzhao.
Nanzhao, as the original vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, has undergone such a huge change at this moment. Due to emotions and reasons, Bai Yuxian, as the Jiedushi of Jiannan, must have to deal with it on behalf of the Tang Dynasty.
Especially whether the current Nanzhao Kingdom is still willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty as before, this is the most important thing, and it is also the main reason why Li Longji sent him here.
If Nanzhao continues to be willing to submit to the Tang Dynasty, it will naturally be a good thing.
But if Nanzhao is unwilling to surrender, then the Tang Dynasty, as the supreme power of the Celestial Empire, must fight, otherwise where will the dignity of the Tang Dynasty go?
In the parallel time and space of later generations, after the death of King Piroge of Nanzhao, Nanzhao no longer surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty attacked Nanzhao three times, but the result was a disastrous defeat three times. Yang Guozhong even made a show of maneuvering to reward the defeat. .
Li Longji must also be waiting for news about Bai Yuxian's handling of the Nanzhao issue.
Therefore, the affairs of Nanzhao Kingdom are also Bai Yuxian's current top priority.
But the natural disaster problem in Jiannan must be solved as soon as possible.
There is no way to do anything else.
It's best to find someone to help share the pressure.
Then Bai Yuxian immediately thought of Li Bai.
Find Li Bai and ask Li Bai to help him investigate the cause of the natural disaster in Jiannan to see if he can investigate it. He will deal with the matter in Nanzhao first and then split up.
