It was said that he was guarding the border, but the imperial edict did not give Su Ce a specific position. Su Ce did not return home that night, but went to the home of his teacher Li Sizhe.
At night, there was a curfew in Chang'an City, and the gates had long been closed. On the wide street outside the square, the troops of Nanya Sixteenth Guards set up checkpoints at various gates and intersections. In the square, bad guys carrying wooden sticks were patrolling around in twos and threes, and the people inside the square were patrolling. Either go home early and have a rest, or drink and have fun with two friends.
Chang'an is still the carefree Chang'an, but tonight the Dingbei County government office is filled with a murderous atmosphere.
Thirteen years of prosperity, chaos!
Fourteen years of prosperity and stability!
The court is in chaos, but the people are stable.
In the reception room of the palace, Su Ce and Li Sizhe were sitting at the main seats. On both sides were twelve military leaders from the Anbei line. Behind the military leaders were twelve third-rank generals. In the courtyard, there were still forty people standing solemnly. The remaining four rank generals.
These generals are not all the generals in the Anbei line, there are still one-third of the generals guarding the border, and one-third are recruiting troops in each province.
The Anbei line of military establishment far surpassed the history of the Daqian state, and can be traced back to the time when Emperor Taizu of Qian sent his troops out of Qianzhou.
On weekdays, these generals only have casual official titles and live their lives behind closed doors when there is no war.
In the event of a war, if there are changes on the front line, these idle generals will put on armor and lead troops to support the front line operations.
The Fubing system is rotated in three batches, and the generals of Daqian who emerged from the Fubing system are also rotated in three batches.
The sage did not give Su Ce a job because the Anbei people still assigned him the job of guarding the border. This was respect and trust.
The Qianzhou Lingwei and Beiya six armies are only 300,000 strong, but what about the Anbei line?
On the surface, there are only 100,000 troops guarding the border, but in fact, there are now far more than one million veteran soldiers in the two capitals of Dagan and Thirteen Roads, Zhong'an and North, Gyeonggi Province.
This is the foundation of one lineage and one palace in the north of Daqian'an overpowering three palaces.
The six armies of Daqian and Qianlong have already formed their own troop storage areas according to centuries-old rules.
Both the capital and capital are the territory of the Sixth Army of Bei Ya, and the Guannai Road, Jiannan Road, Shannan East and West Road, Henan Road, and Hedong Road surrounding the two capitals are the sphere of influence of the Anbei line.
In addition, the Anton Governor's Mansion is located in a corner of Hebei Province.
The soldiers in the south were not suitable for wide-area operations, but they were adaptable to the intense heat in Lingnan. Therefore, the Annan Protectorate prepared troops in the middle and southern Guizhou Roads.
The Anxi Protectorate has the old foundation of Da Qi staying in Longyou Road. It seems that there is only one land, but the Anxi army that defeated hundreds of countries in the Western Regions far exceeds the area under the jurisdiction of the two realms alone. Together with Long You Dao, the strength is not bad.
As for the east and west roads in the south of the Yangtze River and the Huainan Road, the soil is slightly moist and has been a land of anointed people since ancient times. The taxes of the three roads can be offset by the remaining ten roads. Therefore, the third prince and the fourth prince went to Jinling Mansion at the age of twelve. In the name of the royal family, the Three Dao were stabilized. These three Dao cadres and the six armies had a tacit understanding and did not reserve troops.
This time, in addition to returning to Chang'an to report on his duties, Gongxiangcheng of Anding County also had another important thing to do, and that was the Ministry of War's just drawn up regulations for protecting the capital.
In the past, the division of the Protectorate in Daqian was not so clear. Because of the continuous war, the jurisdiction of the four sides was uncertain during the attack. Now, after two years of peace, the regulations should be finalized.
Andong Duhufu, administers the headquarters of Andong Upper Duhufu and Bohai Duhufu.
The Anxi Protectorate's Office has jurisdiction over the headquarters of the Anxi Protectorate's Office and the Beiting Shang Protector's Office.
The Annan Protectorate's Palace remains the Annan Upper Protectorate's Palace unchanged.
As for the Anbei Protectorate, because the old commander Li Sizhe expanded thousands of miles to the north, it has the headquarters of the Anbei Protectorate, the Beiyuan Shang Protectorate, and the Sanguan Protectorate.
The Upper Protectorate has 50,000 troops, the Great Protectorate has 100,000 troops, and the Great Protectorate has no limit on the number of troops.
The Duhufu was the temporary military headquarters for Da Qian's foreign expeditions, and the changes in each Duhufu were relatively large.
From this time the Ministry of War settled the government, we can see the saint's preference for Anbei.
This major reform of the border army is also a counterattack by civilian officials against the military.
The Anbei Protectorate has experienced restructuring before. It was originally the Anbei Protectorate. Later, it defeated Jiuhu and became the Anbei Protectorate. Now it has been changed to the Anbei Protectorate.
The absence of a governor's house means that the military won the civil-military battle.
In the final analysis, politics is all about interests.
The loss of a governor's palace not only means the loss of dozens of official positions and states, but also brings more benefits.
Gongxiangcheng of Anding County has been appointed as the Grand Protector of Anbei, and there are still two Senior Protectors who have not yet been decided. Today is not only the position of border guard for Su Ce, but also the distribution of forces of the Anbei line.
Twelve military leaders, An Ding County Duke Xiangcheng needed military exploits to reshape the Duke's Mansion, but the other three and eight County Dukes neither fought nor fought for it. What is public is public.
To be able to ascend to the county Duke's position, in addition to having amazing military exploits, one must also have the trust of the royal family, otherwise the Marquis will be dead.
In fact, the old commander Li Sizhe had already discussed Su Ce's position with Su Ce. According to his rank, Su Ce could be the Deputy Protector of the Upper Protectorate, or he could lead a partial division.
The Anbei Protectorate has ten cities in one palace.
The three gates are the Protector's Mansion, and the first gate is the three gates.
Beiyuan Shangduhu Prefecture, one prefecture and six cities.
The one who garrisoned the city was to guard and capture the envoys, and the one who garrisoned the pass was to be the captain.
Comparing the two, the governor needs to be controlled by the Protectorate compared to the captain, while the captain is relatively independent.
When Li Sizhe saw that everyone had come, he didn't hesitate and said straight to the point: "Mr. Anding, you are now in command of Anbei Mansion. I don't want to rely on my old age to show off. Today is a gathering of Anbei people, but it is you who has decided to take charge of Anbei Mansion." You will be in charge today."
Anding County Duke Xiangcheng was not polite, he had already made up his mind. Although Dingbei County Duke Li Sizhe lived in Chang'an and would not lead troops in the future, he still had to show the respect that an old commander should have.
The old commander Li Sizhe returned to Chang'an, but his old troops are still in Anbei Prefecture. Therefore, it is not easy for Gongxiang Cheng of Anding County to disgrace the old commander, and there is no room for selfishness in a relationship where both gain and lose. Besides, he When he was young, he was taking orders under the old commander's tent. This relationship cannot be broken, and it cannot be broken. Whether he can revitalize the Duke's palace, he will not be able to hold his position as the Protector of Anbei without the recommendation and support of the old commander Li Sizhe.
"Ahem, the old man is so polite. That kid is just taking over. Su Ce has a special status. He is the military leader of our Anbei line. He has done well in the past two years. Many Anbei Zepao has been favored. Captain Zuo Wuguan Liang An came out of customs a year ago and had a conflict with the Russians. He mishandled the situation and was dismissed by me. Now he is training troops in Hedong Road.
Zuowuguan is currently under the temporary command of the deputy general. Several of the guards in the Anbei Protectorate are too old and should retire. The six guards in the Beiyuan Shangdufu are still in their prime. Beiyuan, The three gates and two upper guards have been newly installed, and the four deputy governors have not yet been decided. Commander, what do you think?"
Li Sizhe was noncommittal and turned to look at Su Ce.
Su Ce frowned in thought. The people present did not speak to give advice to Su Ce. They just looked at Su Ce. Su Ce said he was the military leader, but no one present had a higher authority than him. They gave Su Ce a choice, but there was no choice.
Yes, it depends on what Su Ce chooses.
Su Ce couldn't see that this was another choice. These old foxes were all human beings and would never miss an opportunity to beat Su Ce, the military leader. Even his teacher Li Sizhe did the same.
If jade is not polished, it cannot be used as a tool, and if a person does not learn, he will not know righteousness.
In the place where Jing'an is a city, the three passes are now guarded by the Langyan Mountains in the north. If the three passes are not broken, we can only train troops and rule them out first without considering them.
Then the remaining choices were the Captain of Guansai and the Deputy Protector of Shangdu Prefecture. Su Ce was a little confused whether to lead an army alone or hold a high position of authority.
However, thinking about the guidance of my previous teacher Li Sizhe, the deputy governor of the Shangduhu Mansion may seem to have a high position of authority, but in fact he is just a deputy, and the advantage is stability.
Su Ce made a decision in his heart and no longer struggled. He said loudly: "Logically speaking, a small county magistrate is not qualified to sit on the main seat and talk to everyone. Even the generals in the courtyard are all experienced.
Zhan, now that the military leader has given the boy some respect in vain, it is said that the military leader respects the meaning of the robe, and Su Ce knows how much he weighs.
Now that the three passes are in the north, there is no fighting in the city, and the victory lies in stability. Su Ce was demoted to the border guard this time, and he did not want to find a place to live in peace and stability. What he wanted was to be the deputy governor of the Duhufu and assist in important affairs of the military government.
Su Ce is an experienced wheel-turner and is young, so he may make some mistakes.
Although Su Ce has never heard of the Zuowei Pass incident, since a Guansai Captain has been demoted to train troops, I'm afraid we have suffered a loss. If Su Ce is not talented, please make him a Captain."
"Okay!" Gong Xiangcheng of Anding County slapped his thigh and shouted "good", and then said: "I know that you are restless. There are constant disputes on the border fortress. Although there is no big battle, the small battles between thousands of people have not stopped.
Sanguan, the Jiuhu people are ambitious and covet my land of Daqianbeiyuan. I taught them a lesson years ago and cut off three thousand heads. They want to go to Zuowei Pass, which is exactly what I want."
Li Sizhe breathed a sigh of relief. Su Ce achieved great success at a young age and was ranked fourth in his early twenties. What he was most afraid of was having too much ambition and too little skill. Since he accepted Su Ce as his successor, Li Sizhe regarded Su Ce as his nephew and his own son. Although Su Ce
He is experienced in dealing with things, but in Li Sizhe's eyes, Su Ce is just a stupid boy in his early twenties. Just now, he was really afraid that Su Ce would talk nonsense and ask for the position of deputy governor. It is human nature to covet high positions, but he can't see the reality clearly.
It's not like the determined military leader cannot be changed.
Gong Xiangcheng and Li Sizhe of Anding County looked at each other and smiled. Su Ce had passed this test.
However, Su Ce's matter has been decided, but the head coach and deputy head coach of the two governorates of Anbei Sanguan and Beiyuan have not yet been decided.
Zhao Tan, the Duke of Yueyang County, was the first to speak: "I will no longer compete with you for the position of Protector. Zhao Zai'an, the eldest son, is under the command of Xiang Cheng and has been appointed as the Chief Protector of the Protectorate. It is enough for Duke X to occupy one position."
"
Yan Zheng, the Duke of Rencheng County, and Zhou Wei, the Duke of Fufeng County, saw Gong Xiangcheng of Anding County nodding and said in a low voice: "Yes!"
There is a carrot and a pit, and there are three large and small governor's offices. There are not many positions with real power. Each governor's office can have one governor, two deputy governors, and one chief historian. There are a total of twelve high-level positions. They will soon be
After being divided up, Changshi has always been exclusive to the royal family, so there are only nine positions left.
Gong Xiangcheng of Anding County was the Grand Protector of Anbei, and he was appointed as the Deputy Protector of Anbei. Xiang Yun was not separated from the family, and the ancestor of Gongyunxi of Lantian County was a deputy general in the Duke of Chu State, so he was appointed the Deputy Protector of Anbei.
The father-in-law of Nanling County, Xi Zhuan, was over sixty years old. He had little time left and needed to accumulate some merit. The eldest son of the family was nearly forty years old and was a veteran general in the army. He was appointed as the Deputy Protector of the Three Passes.
The situation of Gongnong Chongshan of Gaoping County was similar to that of Gonggong Xizhuan of Nanling County. The eldest son in the family failed to live up to expectations, so he asked his second son to be the Deputy Protector of the Three Passes.
Gongsun Gongsun of Duling, Gongnong Gaoping and Gongxi Zhuan of Nanling came from the same ancestor. Gongsun Zong of Duling County was just over forty years old and he wanted to be the Protector of the Three Passes.
Gong Mengbin of Huayin County, who was good at defensive counterattacks and used both foot and cavalry, wanted the position of Protector of the Beiyuan Protectorate.
Although You Yong, the county magistrate of Zheng County, is not as old as the father-in-law of Nanling County, he was seriously injured while covering Zong Zhengding's army in the early years of prosperity. Now he has to go to northern Xinjiang even if he sells his old bones, vowing to keep the county government at home.
, asked for the post of deputy governor of Beiyuan.
The Zhengding Army of Xinfeng County remained silent. Zhengxian County Lord Youyong chose Beiyuan without any hesitation and also chose Beiyuan Deputy Protector. In the battle formation, Zhengxian County Lord Youyong fought tooth and nail to cover his family.
There are not many people left, and the vitality of the house is severely damaged. This time my old brother is going to northern Xinjiang to risk his life, and he will definitely lend a helping hand.
After all the handsome men were divided in the living room, it was time for the generals of Yuan Zhonghua to be divided.
