An order from King Jianning's Mansion once again aroused discussion among players.
Zeng Mu, the head of Yixiali, was worshiped as the Marching Sima of Bafu. He went out to suppress Suzhou in the name of Bafu and assisted the governor of Suzhou to "take charge of all affairs in Suzhou".
Liu Chenbi, the governor of Suzhou, has been claiming to be ill since King Jianning took over Suzhou.
Liu Chenbi, a veteran official in the officialdom, was very cooperative in handing over the seal of the Prefecture. After King Jianning's army took over Jiuquan City, he studied and practiced calligraphy at home every day and never stepped out of the mansion.
However, after Liu Chenbi handed over the power of the Governor's Office and the players who took over Suzhou took over Suzhou, they caused chaos in Suzhou due to lack of ability.
This time, Zeng Mu was appointed as the Marching Sima to "take charge of all affairs in Suzhou". Just like Cui Tao, he controlled the entire Suzhou Governor's Office and performed the duties of the prefect.
This is really like "Being a farmer in the morning and ascending to the emperor's hall in the evening", but Li Yan really has no choice. He urgently needs to let the players grow up quickly.
The situation today is no longer the same as before.
The Battle of Jinshan defeated the Uighur Khan's army, which naturally brought a lot of benefits to Li Yan.
Longyou's influence on the grassland has greatly increased. Even after Gel Khan was defeated and fled back to Yazhang City, the Uighurs were still trading at the Baowen Mountain Market, and even increased the scale of their transactions.
The Uighurs did not dare to offend Long You, and no messenger even came to accuse Li Yan of interfering in the grassland war. The Uighurs just broke their teeth and swallowed it.
At this time, Li Yan did not know the news about Uighur Gele Khan's return to Changshengtian. If he had known about it, he would have admired Shijijian's forbearance even more.
Now Longyou's influence has spread to the grassland, and it has occupied three of the four counties in Hexi.
I heard that Fang Guan, the governor of Hexi Province in Wuwei City, kept writing memorials to the court every day, impeaching King Jianning for "wildly rebellious and disobedient".
The reason why Li Yan had to visit various prefectures and counties in the north before he could completely return to his hometown in Beiting, Xizhou, was because there was not much time left for him to develop in peace.
Now that the territory he occupies is quite large, Li Yan eagerly hopes that the players will grow up and become unique talents.
Li Yan took inventory of his territory and divided it into the following areas according to different situations.
Ganzhou, the seat of government is Zhangye City. Now Ganzhou is the front line in the battle for territory with Hexi Jiedushi. Military control is implemented in Ganzhou. General Wei Chixin, who is under Li Yan, is in Ganzhou and coordinates the military and civilian affairs of Ganzhou.
However, Yu Chixin did not have much political talent, so he could only drag Li Daoyuan and his party from the eastbound group to assist him in managing the civil affairs of Ganzhou.
Li Daoyuan, Zhang Duanyang, Zhou Shi and Yu Xiaoxiao were all assigned jobs by Yu Chixin, and this was how the Ganzhou Governor's Office was kept running.
However, the land occupied by the horse farmers needs to be cleared, the racecourse near Zhangye City needs to be restored, and the powerful families in Ganzhou City that have invaded the common people's fields need to be rectified. All of this needs to be taken over by players who can manage civil affairs.
Yu Chixin also kept writing to Li Yan, requesting to send [official] players to manage it.
However, Li Yan also had his own difficulties. He really didn't have anyone left.
Ganzhou can still survive at least, but Suzhou is in a mess.
Jiuquan City, where Suzhou is governed, is not as prosperous as Ganzhou, but its geographical location is equally important. Moreover, Suzhou is also struggling to convert a horse into a mulberry, and is in urgent need of a player who can take charge of one side to handle the situation.
That's why Li Yancai promoted Zeng Mu to take charge of Ganzhou. If Ganzhou is allowed to continue to be in such chaos, banditry will break out in Ganzhou.
Suzhou in Ganzhou is a newly subordinated area, and it is also the area that Li Yan has the most trouble with.
As for Guazhou and Shazhou, which are Li Yan's core territories, they have also been appointed by the players. They are also the places with the best development at present.
There is Dashuixia Iron Mine in Guazhou, which is now an important industrial town in Longyou.
Around the Guazhou iron mine, a large number of iron workshops were built. At the same time, Li Yan's cannon casting workshop and gunpowder workshop were also in Guazhou.
It's just that Longyou is a government-run salt and iron industry. These ironware workshops are all in the hands of the General Administration of Salt and Iron, so Guazhou's government-run industry is the most developed.
But now, among the entire territory under King Jianning, Shazhou is the most prosperous.
Nowadays, there are 130 villages in Shazhou, each of which has its own characteristic industry. Under the leadership of the village chief, it can be said that every village in Shazhou has enough food and a good life.
day.
Shazhou and Guazhou were the territories that Li Yan was least worried about. There were a large number of governors here, and the governor's office was also filled with a large number of officials. No matter who served as governor here, this was Li Yan's core territory.
These territories were the richest areas in Longyou and the areas most supportive of King Jianning.
The status of Xizhou is quite special. Shazhou has attracted all the merchants from the Western Regions who originally only went to Gaochang City and then stopped going eastward. Now the people of Xizhou are very hostile to the people of Shazhou, thinking that Shazhou has robbed Xizhou Long.
Right economic center status.
The power of the old aristocrats in Xizhou is still huge, and Gaochang City was originally wealthy, but now it is being caught up by Shazhou. It is even more felt that King Jianning favors one over the other and deliberately prevents Xizhou from developing.
In Gaochang City, although Cui Tao also imitated Shazhou and made many reform measures, and Xizhou also appointed a local chief. Xizhou surrendered to King Jianning earlier than Ganzhou and Suzhou, but he has always been against Jianning.
King Ning was reluctant to leave, but he did not return to Guazhou as wholeheartedly as Shazhou.
Therefore, the purpose of King Jianning's inspection of Xizhou this time was to stabilize Xizhou as soon as possible, because the next focus of Bafu will definitely be towards Hexi.
Wuwei is the gateway to the Hexi Corridor. Fang Guan, the Hexi Jiedu envoy, was stationed in Wuwei, so he had the imperial court's intention to suppress King Jianning.
Li Yan knew very well that as a descendant of the royal family, the so-called father-son relationship was unreliable.
The characteristic of the Li Tang royal family is that the prince has always had a high-ranking profession.
When he escorted his father to Lingwu, King Jianning was so effective that he wore armor and swords to protect the emperor along the way. He was named deputy marshal of the world's troops and horses, and even threatened the prince's status.
However, after Lingwu ascended the throne, the prince's line gradually became more powerful, and the emperor had to rely on the prince to suppress the rebellion, so he gradually alienated and neglected King Jianning.
The purpose of appointing King Jianning to Longyou was to ensure the status of the East Palace and to send princes who threatened the status of the prince to the border areas.
Later, Li Yan was attacked by "Uighur bandits". Out of guilt for his son, the cheap father gave himself the title of "General Manager Longyou".
In fact, the emperor and the ministers in the court knew that just the title of "General Manager of Longyou" could not suppress the unruly military chiefs of the governors of large states like Longyou.
But what no one expected was that King Jianning, who only brought a few dozen tooth soldiers, actually subdued many large states and military towns in Longyou and controlled a large area of land in Longyou.
The emperor appointed Fang Guan as the governor of Hexi Province and was in charge of the four counties in Hexi Province. In fact, he also had the intention of suppressing Li Yan's development.
After reading so many history books, Li Yan also knew that suppressing himself as a county king was not only the prince's intention, but also his father's intention.
A powerful prince is a huge threat to both the emperor and the prince.
Even compared to the prince, Li Yan's power is even more uncontrollable.
The prince is the general marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, but the soldiers and horses under his command are still the army of the Tang Dynasty.
Whether they are important ministers like Guo Ziyi or powerful eunuchs like Li Fuguo, they are all loyal to the court.
If the prince wants to rebel, his generals will first kidnap the prince and send him to his father.
But Li Yan occupied Longyou, and he had real soldiers and horses, and Longyou was isolated on the northwest border of the Tang Dynasty, which was the area where the imperial court had the weakest control.
As long as the news of the defeat of the Uighur Khan reaches the Central Plains, based on Li Yan's understanding of his father, I am afraid that the imperial court will soon take action against Longyou.
Li Yan felt a sense of urgency.
It was already June. Li Yan opened the system and asked:
"System, how many luck points do you have this month?"
[County title: 100 points per month]
[Control Longyou: 200 points per month]
[Control Guazhou, Shazhou, and Xizhou: 800 points per month]
[Occupy Suzhou and Ganzhou: 500 points per month]
[Control the Beiting Protectorate: 400 points per month]
[Affect Mobei Grassland: 400 points per month]
[Defeat the Uighurs’ Western Expedition: 2000 points]
[The balance contribution points in May are 317 points, and the host has contribution points - 4717 points.]
Get rich overnight!
Sure enough, fighting is the best way to earn luck points. This battle at Jinshan shattered the Uighurs' ambition to unify the grasslands and also brought Li Yan a massive amount of luck points!
So what are you waiting for? Recruit players.
"System, I want to summon 1,500 new players. Start summoning now!"
Because the map system was launched in May, Li Yan did not have enough luck points to summon players. This time he summoned 1,500 players, and the total number of players exceeded 3,500.
This time is the ninth test of "Feng Yun of the Tang Dynasty", and it is also the largest open test. When the announcement that the game was about to start the ninth test was posted on the forum, the entire game enthusiast circle was excited again!
