Although Nanping City has not yet been captured by Zhuo Junyan, Nanyue Lord is dead and no one resists, so it is logical to take over.
So under Zhuo Junyan's arrangement, Zhang Qijin, Tie Fengjian, and Shen Shengnan led the team to Nanping City. According to Zhuo Junyan, if there was no resistance, they would take over directly.
If there is resistance - no one is allowed to take action, just call me!
Lord Zhuo transforms into a summoned beast. If there is a fight, he must summon himself as soon as possible.
There is probably no happier thing in the world than being his subordinate.
On the Dongling City side, Yu Weiyang also led her newly formed intelligence department to start collecting information about Yunshui Sect.
Today, Zhuo Junyan is recovering from his injuries and is drinking in the pavilion.
At this time of summer, the garden is full of flowers, and the peach red plum blossoms are beautiful.
Zhuo Junyan drank the new fermented fermented rice wine and admired it alone.
As you wave your hand, the flowers dance in the sky, reflecting the colorful mottled colors in the sun, and have a charming fragrance.
With a flick of the finger, all the flowers were scattered, turning into a whirlpool of flowers.
Even in your leisure time, don’t forget to practice diligently.
Looking at his method, Zhuo Junyan chuckled: "It's not bad. It's a pity, but it's just a method to stimulate flowers. As expected, I was born to burn the harp and boil the crane to ruin the scenery and ruin the beautiful things."
Then he drank all the wine in the cup.
Luo Xiaoluo strode like a garden: "Cang Baichuan, please see me!"
"Let him come in." Zhuo Junyan put down the cup and said, "Change the tea."
I have my own guard serving tea to Zhuo Junyan.
Zhuo Junyan didn't like to use servants or maids, just because he felt that a flashy life would lose his will, so even if he took care of them, he would mostly be his bodyguards.
The guards are mostly rough people, they don't know how to take care of people, they don't have much eyesight, and they don't know how to flatter people.
Ran: This is what Zhuo Junyan wants!
You should work hard in this life, how can you settle for pleasure?
Cang Baichuan's strangely long horse face soon appeared in front of Zhuo Junyan, and he bowed to Zhuo Junyan: "Congratulations to Master Zhuo, you are invincible. The southern part of Luozhou is now yours."
Zhuo Junyan took a sip of tea and replied calmly: "It's none of my business. I only fight wars, not land. The local magistrates of Luozhou are appointed by the imperial court. As long as you don't mess with me, whoever wants to care will care." go."
Cang Baichuan looked at Zhuo Junyan in surprise.
Although Zhuo Junyan did say this, it was still difficult for Cang Baichuan to understand when he actually did it.
At this moment, he thought about it and said, "What if Feng Yinhou takes over?"
Zhuo Junyan asked: "I don't care, does the court allow it?"
The national systems of the seven countries are different, but generally similar.
Local officials are generally distributed according to counties (towns), cities (prefectures), states (counties), and countries.
Generally speaking, positions below the county level are divided into civil and military positions, but positions above the city level are divided into more civil and military positions, and there are differences.
For example, in places such as Yancheng, there are civil servants and military governors, and military and political power are not allowed to be concentrated in the hands of one person.
But in practice, it's often the opposite.
The higher you go, the more concentrated the power becomes.
For example, in the position of a prefecture or county, the nominal highest official is the Governor Ling, who is responsible for civil affairs, and Wu is the town and fu envoy, who has the jurisdiction of the town and fu division, and is responsible for the military strength of a state.
But in fact, in this world where military power trumps everything else, the power of the governor has long surpassed that of the general order, and even the deployment of lower-level officials must be approved by the governor.
In the twelve states of the Moon Dynasty, most of the largest local warlord leaders are the governors.
There are only a few exceptions, one of which is Luozhou.
And this comes down to geopolitics, and different places have different special circumstances.
Luozhou is located in the southwest of Yue Dynasty. The terrain here is complex. One side is crisscrossed by mountain roads and the other side is crisscrossed by waterways. It is a rare place with both mountains and water. The entire state is divided by mountains, roads and waterways, making it difficult to unify.
This makes it easier to sit in a larger space.
Feng Yinhou was the legitimate governor of Luozhou. He was one of the few civil servants who truly held power in Luozhou. As for the governor, he was just a dog under him.
Nanyuejun is the opposite.
His official position is only as a garrison in Nanping City, and his nominal official position is lower than that of Zong Yunzi, the prefect.
But this man was born into a noble family, and was a hereditary first-class loyal and brave man. He had a noble status, more property, a high status, and many powerful people under his command.
It's a bit like Yuan Shao back then. Although he wasn't the fourth generation, he still had a rich family.
And his rise is also related to the connivance of Fengyin Hou - in order to seize power from the Luozhou Governor, he encouraged the Nanyue Lord to stir up trouble, and then the Luozhou Governor sent troops to attack. Unexpectedly, Fengyin Hou took the opportunity to cut off his food and grass.
, a sneak attack from behind, leading to the defeat of the governor.
As a result, Feng Yinhou successfully controlled the northern part of Luozhou, and Nanyue Lord also took advantage of the situation.
Therefore, Nanyue Lord, as the garrison of Nanping City, raised 7,000 soldiers to dominate one side.
This is also the reason why Yan Luoqing needed Zong Yunzi to come forward when he thought Nanyue Lord was about to die.
He is of high moral character and respected, and his reputation is just and right.
Zong Yunzi was nominally the highest officer of Nanping City, but in fact he was the adviser of Nanyue Lord and acted according to his orders.
This is actually the same for Zhuo Junyan.
What he did was even more extreme. He was not even a small flag officer of the County Field Guard Station, but who dared not to listen to him?
Now the governors and guards of each city must respect him respectfully and bow to him when they see him.
According to the laws of the Yue Dynasty, as the governor's order, Fengyin Hou could only appoint ordinary officials, not even the county magistrate, let alone the governor and garrison levels.
That's why Zhuo Junyan asked, "Will the court accept it?"
Cang Baichuan said with a smile: "The Marquis will arrange this on his own. As long as Master Zhuo nods, it will be fine."
"Then I have no problem, but Zong Yunzi is still alive, and Nanping Prefecture Yin may not be able to replace him."
"It doesn't matter. As long as Zong Yunzi understands current affairs, he can continue to be his governor. On the contrary, several people died in Dongling City..."
"I have no problem, you can arrange it. By the way, who do you plan to arrange?"
Zhuo Junyan just asked casually, but unexpectedly Cang Baichuan replied: "What do you think of Shen Zhengyuan?"
Um?
Shen Zhengyuan?
Zhuo Junyan narrowed his eyes.
Depend on!
Feng Yinhou is very good at playing. He moved the illegitimate son of the king to be the local boss?
No wonder he is so sure, he really has a lot of ideas.
Fengyin Hou is different from others. Because he is a civil servant, he attaches great importance to the power of civil servants. Now that he has the opportunity, he must further strengthen this point.
However, this approach facilitates internal integration and makes it impossible to compete externally.
To put it bluntly, if you are weak, you wish the people below you were weak.
Zhuo Junyan thought for a while and said, "I don't have a problem. I don't want to deal with official affairs. I just want to do business well."
Cang Baichuan gave his "good business" a hehe.
Zhuo Junyan's "goodness" is really something most people can't afford!
He smiled and said: "In that case, the matter is settled. By the way, over at Fengyin Mansion, when will Master Zhuo bring the trading company there?"
"After I take care of the affairs in the south, I will go to open a shop on Fengyinhou's territory. Then I will have to take care of you."
"This is natural. Oh, by the way, I heard that Master Zhuo is investigating the various sects under the Yunshui Sect, but what is the need?"
Zhuo Junyan said: "In the battle at Daqiu'ao, Jiang Wuxin suddenly appeared and used Kuangxue. This medicine is not easy to refine and the cost is extremely high. I suspect that Xuanyu Sect and Yundan Sect may be jointly engaged in some conspiracy, so I
Let someone look for it."
"Any clues?"
Zhuo Junyan sighed and shook his head: "The Yundan Sect has set up a hall here, but when I found them, I couldn't figure out what they were asking, so I didn't get what I wanted."
Zhuo Junyan's tone was sighing, with a disappointed look on his face.
This disappointment is both real and fake.
He was disappointed that he didn't find the recipe he wanted.
However, it is also understandable that the two elixirs of Yi Jin Cleansing Marrow are top-notch elixirs. It is estimated that even the Yun Dan Sect does not have the elixir recipe, and only a big boss of the Yunshui Sect can have it.
As for the news about Kuangxue, Zhuo Junyan didn't care that much - after all, there was Yan Luoqing who was being watched.
Cang Baichuan thought for a while and said: "As far as I know, in fact, not only the Yunshui Sect can refine the crazy blood, there is another sect that can also refine it."
