17. Refers to draw the provincial boundaries
Seeing Gao Yue sitting in the tent, Liu Wu knelt down twenty steps away, first took off his sword, took off his armor, then lowered his body, passed under the long halberd that had crossed his life, and crawled more than ten steps until Gao Yue said, "Super Liu is not just like this?" He dared to get up, and then took a few steps respectfully, bowed to Gao Yue and bowed down.
Gao Yue said please sit, but Liu Wu came to a Hu bed covered with a silk blanket and sat down at the corner, his legs together and straightened, and did not dare to slackew.
Then several men who ran into the house with wooden knots entered, opened the box, and asked the Grand Tutor and General Hun Yu to inspect Li Shigu and Li Shidao's head. Gao Yue sighed slightly and said, "Pinglu in Ziqing has been going on for three generations since Li Zhengji. Although he has rebelled, he has made great contributions to the country. This body no longer needs to be exposed to the intersection of the military street, so as not to be sad and dissatisfied with the soldiers of the Pinglu army."
"Shan, yes, I'll bury the bodies of brothers Li Shigu." Liu Wu immediately agreed.
"I heard that Li Shigu has two cousins?" Gao Yue asked again.
Liu Wu hurriedly replied that Li Shixian and Li Shizhi were in charge of the military mansion. If the Grand Master needs to be interrogated, he will send it immediately.
"Hey, you and I just want to give an explanation to the Zaitang. There is no need to interrogate Liu Shuai. I feel at ease with Liu Shuai. Most of these two people have to go to the guest province, and then they are punished to Lingnan or Helong." Then Gao Yue pointed to his chest with a smile and said to Liu Wu, "You have to give the world a name, otherwise you will be named Wu."
Liu Wu nodded quickly and looked at the orders of Hu Zao and Cui Gongdu with gratitude. Fortunately, they reminded them in time, otherwise Li Shixian and Li Shizhi would have been chopped by him.
Then Gao Yue frowned and pointed his fingers at his forehead, as if he had forgotten something.
Li Yan next to him was right in his ear and whispered a few words.
"Yes, Li Shidao's wife, concubine and two sons..." Gao Yue then remembered.
Liu Wu jumped off the Hu bed and bowed to Gao Yuechang, shouting "Dare to fight" and "death crime".
Gao Yue quickly helped him up and said why Liu Shuai is so!
"Anyway, after attacking Yuncheng, the tutu son responded from the advisor's army's mansion and rescued the family of the generals who were detained in advance. He also obtained the wife and concubine of Li Shidao and his descendants. He originally wanted to use this to persuade Li Shigu's brothers to give up the stubborn resistance, but Li Shigu's brothers were descendants of the Goguryeo race, fierce and rude, and refused to surrender, and they fought to the end. After Li Shidao's wife and concubine were sent to the servant, he saw that the army was unstable, so in order to win the hearts of the army, he privately married Li Shidao's wife Wei, and took concubines Yuan and Pu, but he had never reported to the Grand Master that he deserved to die."
Before Gao Yue and Hun Yu replied, Liu Wu asked that Wei was the wife of Li Shidao after all. Since he had remarried with his servants, if there was another change, he would be afraid that Wei would commit suicide in anger and cause a mutiny in Pinglu Army. However, Yuan and Pu were both quite handsome, such as the Grand Master and the General, who refused to give up, and were willing to give up the two women.
Hun Yeon quickly refused, saying no or no.
Gao Yue also said seriously: "Li Shigu, Li Shidao is now dead. The Tang rule that he will not accept wives and concubines from those who have lost their country into the ban will be given to meritorious ministers. Now the twelve prefectures in Ziboqing can return to the court without bloodshed. All rely on Liu Shuai. Therefore, Li Shidao's wives and concubines should be all given to Liu Shuai."
"Wu dared not be greedy for women, but he tried hard to adopt Li Shidao's widow's widow's leaved son to soothe the morale of the army. Therefore, I am here to praise the Grand Tutor and the General, and Pinglu will never rebel from then on." Liu Wu's expression was serious and loud.
"Okay!" Gao Yue also rose up, "I promised Liu Shuai that as long as Liu Shuai was willing to be Tang, he would ask the five states of Xideng, Lai, Hai, Yi, and Mi to set up a separate military town and grant the honor to you."
Liu Wu knew the truth and knew that the new Zhenyuan policy now implemented the "Zhengshu Seminary System" and that he wanted to be a governor. It was not just right and would be suspicious of the court sooner or later. So he asked: "Why dare I ask for the imperial court again? I only hope that the court can set up a province, and I can raise soldiers for the Holy Lord's shepherd, and return to the court immediately after five years to wait for the later wise men to replace him."
Gao Yue praised the clan, so he asked Li Jue and Fu Lin to take the map and immediately divided the five states. As a result, Fu Lin reminded: "Deng, Lai, Hai, Yi, and the secret mountains and rivers are blocked, which is not conducive to a single independent province."
"What is Yuan Liang's opinion?"
Fu Lin whispered to Gao Yue: "Yanzhou is rich and is in the place of four battles. You should not let Zhang Jianfeng's Wuning Army, otherwise the Wuning Army will be arrogant and difficult to control. It is better to merge Huai, Zheng, Hua, Pu, Yan, Cao, and Yun into the Henei Xingzhongshu Province, and upgrade the former Henei General Secretary to the Minister of the Secretariat, and the prime minister was out of the position of the prime minister, and the Huifu was set up in Zhengzhou. The three prefectures of Hai, Yi and Mi can be merged into the Wuning Army. As for the five prefectures of Zibo, Qing, Qi, Deng and Lai, they can be set up as the Jibei Xingzhongshu Province, and the highest official is the General Secretary."
In this way, the entire Ziqing area was quickly divided into three parts, one was allocated to the Hanoi province, one was allocated to the Xu Siwu Ning army, and the other was building a brand new "Jibei Travel and Secretariat Province".
The Hanoi Province has important river defense in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and has mastered the key node of Heyinyuan to transfer to Luoyang and Guanzhong. It has extraordinary military significance, but it does not master the canal transport hub of Bianzhou.
Because Bianzhou and Songzhou have returned to the new Huaixi Xingzhongshu Province.
As for Huaixi, it is true that all its Bianzhou is a hub, but it does not control the starting point of the canal transportation materials. That is, Yangzhou, which is also owned by the Huaihai Xingzhongshu Province.
For Huaihai, there is Xu Sihao in the north and Jiangdong Province in the south. The three also form the effect of mutual supervision.
The richest Jiangdong provinces, eastern Zhejiang, western Zhejiang, and Xuanshe, are all taxpayers, but Zhenhai Army has now been sacked and 10,000 yuan, and the rest are all naval troops (it will soon become a direct national fleet). In terms of force, they cannot fight against Huaihai and Xu Si, so they can only be a dairy cow and a taxpayer.
From a national perspective, the provinces in Jingzhao, Duji, Longdong and Shannan are "Baili Provinces", and all the officials are fourth-rank and fifth-rank court officials (Guiyi, minister, Zhongshu Sheren, Langzhong, etc.), and are appointed as the governor of the local government. The candidates are directly appointed by Zaitang. In addition, the five major cities in Longxi, Hedong, Hezhong, Hezhong, Henei, Huaixi and Huaihai are also preparing to be upgraded to "Zaitang Zhili Province", and the prime minister will personally transfer them out of town to manage the town. The ratio of the two tax division is 73, that is, 70% of the city must be handed over to the treasury of the three sects, and the remaining three will become provinces and prefectures and counties.
As for financial needs, the original leadership of the government gradually came under the direct jurisdiction of the Cardinal Council, forming a new imperial central army (of course, the number of Zhili provinces will increase in the future. The secret targets of the Zaitang are Jiannan, Lingnan Wuguan and Shannan East Road, and will gather all eight Zhili in the future). As for the remaining inland provinces such as Jiangdong, Jiangxi, Hunan, and Jingnan, they are actually "tax provinces", with the ministers of Taiwan Province, the ministers, or the governors of the provinces. These provinces can directly placate the minority or unstable factors across provinces, and the province only needs to pay taxes to the three departments.
In frontier provinces, a considerable power of the garrison troops will be retained, and the two tax ratio will be 46%, that is, 40% will be paid to the treasury of the three treasurys and 60% will be left in the province to support the army. However, in order to prevent the recurrence of the power of the governor during the Tianbao period, the Zaitang will divide some crucial pass towns in these provinces and send the Central Army under the jurisdiction of the Cardinal to guard. Not only will it guard against foreign enemies, but it will also monitor the garrison troops of the border provinces. This is the case.
This is the essence of the provincial system.
