It must be said that Shi Siming's strategic judgment is extremely accurate.
When news of An Qingxu's march to the east reached the ears of Shi Siming, who was in charge of Xiangzhou, Shi Siming decisively began to move south, occupying the areas that An Qingxu had abandoned along the way, while heading towards Luoyang City, which had just been relieved of siege.
Shi Siming was also flying the banner of the puppet Yan, and there was no pressure to take over An Qingxu's territory.
His march was extremely fast, and at the end of March in the first year of Qianyuan, he had already led his troops to Huayin.
Several Tang rebel armies in Henan Province could not stop Shi Siming's tiger and wolf troops. Seeing that Huayin was about to fall into the enemy's hands again, Zhang Xun, who was stationed in Luoyang, could only move the people out of Luoyang. Guo Ziyi, who was stationed in Tongguan, was still waiting for the new army.
Jun, both of them could only watch as Shi Siming came to kill them.
The only good news at the end of March was that Nan Jiyun in Qingzhou led troops to attack Zizhou. The two sides fought in Linzi City. Nan Jiyun killed more than 2,000 enemies and broke through Linzi City occupied by Fan Yang's army.
Shi Chaoyi, who was in Zibo City, heard that the Qingzhou Army was coming, and immediately led his troops out of Zibo to fight against Nan Jiyun's Qingzhou Army. The two sides fought fiercely to determine the outcome, but the Qingzhou Army also successfully held back Shi Chaoyi's troops, leaving Shi Chaoyi dead.
I can join forces with Shi Siming and go south.
Naturally, the imperial court publicized this rare victory in a big book, and soon the imperial edict came down, appointing Nan Jiyun as the military governor of Jiaodong, responsible for governing the military and political affairs of Qing and Lai, and commanding Nan Ji to
Yun must hold back Shi Chaoyi's troops.
In early April of the first year of Qianyuan, Li Tan, the king of Yue, received the system’s March settlement information.
"The settlement report has been generated, please check the host:"
[Support Princess Ningguo as Uighur Ketun: 1000 points]
[The total increase in luck points is 8,500 points, and the remaining luck points in February are 760 points. The host currently has 9,230 luck points.]
As the player's ability to "make trouble" increases, Li Tan has gained a lot of extra luck points.
He said with satisfaction:
"System, summon three thousand new players."
[As you wish, there are currently 19,692 players in the game.]
Li Tan closed the panel. Now the number of players is close to 20,000. However, as players enter various places in the Tang Dynasty, there are fewer players in Longyou.
Nowadays, more enterprising players will choose to go to Liaodong, Chang'an and other places to try their luck.
Some radical players will even go to more distant areas that have not been developed by other players.
As players gradually left Longyou, many official positions became vacant, and more and more aborigines from Longyou entered Li Tan's government.
However, what followed was the gradual disintegration of the previously clean and efficient player grassroots organizations, and many problems inevitably emerged among the newly incorporated Longyou indigenous grassroots officials.
At the end of March, Li Tan issued a task to the internal guards of Longyou to inspect the local area. The results were shocking, and several cases of official corruption were discovered.
Although these cases were not serious and the officials involved were punished, they still made Li Tan vigilant.
The scale of Longyou's official government was already larger than that of the Tang Dynasty, and any modern government would need a large number of grassroots positions.
These natives who hold some power at the grassroots level are no better than the players who only need to contribute a little and have "no desires and demands". They have relatives, desires and social circles in the local area, so naturally they cannot be as honest and upright as the players.
In addition to corruption, there are also problems such as lazy administration and mediocre officials, which give Li Tan a great headache.
Although he quickly eliminated the cancer in the ranks of these officials, Li Tan knew that such things would only increase as the territory he controlled increased.
However, the management of officials has been an eternal problem. There is no good solution in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. The only good thing is that Longyou's internal security organization is composed entirely of players. It is relatively pure and can form effective supervision.
After dealing with internal affairs, Li Tan turned to military issues.
Yu Chixin received a very detailed strategy for attacking Fan Yang from Liaodong.
Yuchixin and Zhang Guangde inspected Fanyang and even infiltrated Zhuozhou City, the seat of Fanyang. Based on the situation in Fanyang, Yuchixin came up with a new strategy.
The reason why Fan Yang supports Anlushan more is because compared to the Guanzhong area, the land annexation in Hedong is not serious.
This is not to say that Fan Yang did not have land annexation. With the continuous wars over the years, Fan Yang also had a large number of military landowners who obtained fiefdoms due to military merit. Coupled with those aristocratic families who entered the Hedong military and political system, Fan Yang also had the problem of land annexation.
It's just because compared to the dense population in Guanzhong, Fanyang has a smaller population, more land that can be developed, and homesteaders still have land to maintain their lives.
In addition, before Anlushan's rebellion, in order to appease Anlushan, the Tang Dynasty had exempted the three towns in Hedong from paying rent to the court. Relying on this situation of separatist vassal towns, the three towns in Hedong also avoided
Exploited by the imperial court.
Of course, most of this money also went into the pockets of An Lushan and other ruling classes, but objectively it also made Fan Yang's taxes much lower than those in other areas of the Tang Dynasty.
The entire elite class in Hedong could see the stakes involved, so they all firmly supported An Lushan and later Shi Siming.
According to the report written by Yu Chi, objectively Hedong was a smaller court that was cleaner and more fluid in class. This also attracted the poor families in Hedong to enter the pseudo-Yan court in Anlu Mountain. For example, the mastermind of Anlu Mountain at that time was later
Yan Zhuang, who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, was a poor scholar from Hedong.
The reason why the people in Hedong supported Anshi and maintained a separatist regime for a long time in the middle and late Tang Dynasty was because this choice was beneficial to Hedong.
In order to win the support of the people under this situation, we must come up with policies that are more popular than those of An Lushan and Shi Siming.
"Regranting land?" Li Mi looked at Yuchixin's report. He quickly saw the core of Yuchixin's report, which was "equalizing land."
Li Mi took this report. He had also heard that the King of Yue had implemented land equalization in Longyou, but it was a slow land equalization based on Dasuo Maungyue and Qingzhang. Only powerful landowners who violated Tang law would do it.
Being iron fisted.
As for the land equalization that Yu Chixin wanted to implement in Fanyang, it was to forcibly confiscate the land of the powerful landlords in Hedong, and then equalize the land based on population.
"Isn't this too radical?"
Li Mi said with some worry: "The Hedong nobles have always been very resistant to the imperial court. Now if they continue to implement land equalization, I am afraid they will resist to the end."
Li Tan smiled and said, "If we try to appease people in Hedong, will these Hedong scholars be able to join us?"
Li Mi was silent, and Li Tanze said: "If we have different ways, we will not work together. No matter how much we try to win over people's hearts, the scholars in Hedong will not appreciate the benefits of Longyou. It is better to give up on them and win over the hearts of the people in Hedong."
In fact, Li Tan had another idea, which was to throw away the burden of the gentry class and try to establish a experimental area in Hedong that bypassed the gentry class.
Li Tan approved Yu Chixin's plan with a stroke of his pen, allowing them to launch a war against Fan Yang in the name of "equalizing the land."
The remaining internal affairs were handed over to Li Bi, and there was only one last report left on Li Tan's desk, which was about the Uighur affairs.
Prince Ye Hu traveled day and night and was almost reaching the border of Lingzhou.
In any case, Prince Ye Hu's troops cannot return to the Uighurs. Li Tan has ordered Cui Tao, the magistrate of Lingzhou, to intercept Prince Ye Hu's troops and must not allow them to cross the Yellow River.
However, as the news that Prince Ye Hu was returning to the grassland reached the Uighurs, the situation in the Uighurs, which had been stabilized by Princess Ningguo, changed again.
Prince Ye Hu was very influential on the grassland. If it had not been for the defeat in the Battle of Geluolu, Mou Yu Khan might not have been able to ascend to the position of Khan.
Among the nine Uighur surnames, there are also Uighur nobles who support Prince Yehu.
Another reason for the Uighurs to support Prince Yehu was Prince Yehu's reputation as "brave".
After the defeat of Jinshan, Yidijian succeeded the Khan and implemented a strategy of contraction.
In order to stabilize the interior of the Uighurs, Yidijian stopped the war against the Geluolu people in the west of the Uighurs, gave up the conquest of the Hu tribes on the Modong grasslands, and professed vassalage to the Tang Dynasty in exchange for external peace.
However, the shrinkage of the Uighurs has also made many Uighurs feel the gap. The cold winter that has just passed in a century has also caused many Uighurs to freeze to death. The Uighurs began to miss the good times of the Uighur expansion period when Yingwu Khan was in power.
day.
At that time, the Geluolu people attacked by the Uighurs became vassals and were regarded as co-lords of the entire grassland. The Uighurs could still go south to fight the autumn wind in the Tang Dynasty, but they were much more powerful than they are now.
Many Uighurs also longed for Prince Yehu to lead them back to that kind of life.
It seems that I need to give more support to my adopted sister. Maintaining the stability of the Uighurs is crucial to Longyou. At the moment when the great detour strategy is being implemented, the Uighurs must not become chaotic.
Li Tan summoned Xu Jun and said to his chief of staff: "I heard that April is the hunting season on the grassland. I want to join Zhu Hu in hunting in Tingzhou. I will leave this matter to the staff.
