Chapter 194: Division into Counties

The next day, Zhuge Liang gathered civil and military officials to discuss the matter of governing Nanzhong. Among the people who came were Zhao Yunguan, Li Hui, Yang Qing and other civil and military generals, as well as Meng Huo and other surrendered generals, so the large hall was still a bit crowded.

There have been rumors about various changes in Nanzhong in Kunze City before, so everyone knows more or less. However, the military has stopped after the rebellion, and most of these changes are in the civil and political aspects, so Zhao Yun and other military generals mostly attended the meeting today Listening to Xuan's thoughts, he closed his eyes and meditated one by one, feeling relaxed and comfortable.

Li Hui and other civil servants, as well as Meng Huo and the surrendered generals, seemed a little nervous. Li Hui was more curious than worried, but Meng Huo and others had heavy faces and sat in their seats with their heads bowed and silent. They didn't know what they were thinking.

After surrendering to the army, Zhuge Cheng treated Meng Huo and others with great courtesy and favorable treatment, which greatly eliminated their suspicions.

It's just that there are still many people in the army who make sarcastic remarks to these surrendered people, and some even keep making sarcastic comments. This makes them very worried about their own prospects, so they appear to be a little trembling today.

After everyone had arrived, Zhuge Liang came in from the back hall, but he did not sit down at the main table. Instead, he first had someone carry out a map four feet long and three feet wide and set it up in front of everyone.

Yang Qing looked up and saw a map of the five counties in Nanzhong. From north to south and from west to east, they were Yuexun County, Zhuti County, Zangda County, Yongchang County, and Yizhou County. The territory was vast and there were many treasures. In fact, it is a land that the Han Dynasty urgently needs to develop.

Everyone present was a hero of the moment. Seeing Zhuge Liang roll out the map of the five counties in Nanzhong, some were confused, some were enlightened, some were confused, some were emotional, and their expressions were all strange.

Zhuge Liang swept them away one by one, saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, smiled calmly and said: "What do you think of this map of Nanzhong?"...

After hearing this, everyone had different thoughts and did not answer. Zhao Yun saw that no one spoke, so he raised his hands and said: "The area in Nanzhong is vast. Although there are many barbarians, it can still be regarded as a treasure trove for the imperial court. If the imperial court can effectively secure it, the country will be safe and the military will be used." That’s enough.”

Zhuge Liang nodded, but did not answer Zhao Yun. Instead, he looked at Li Hui and asked, "De'ang is the commander-in-chief of Xijiang. What do you think?"

"Prime Minister, what General Zilong said is true. The rebellion of Yong Kai and others almost caused the country to lose half of its territory. Now that the rebellion has been put down, I think I can move the governor's mansion south. In this way, the young people will not dare to act rashly. "It's safe to do so." Li Hui talked in detail.

It turned out that Zhuge Liang had already told him about the move to the south and surrender to the governor's office. Now that Zhuge Liang asked about it, Li Hui naturally told him about it in public.

Although everyone else was slightly surprised, but now the imperial army is stationed in the hinterland of Nanzhong, the virtues of the Han Dynasty have spread far and wide, and all the barbarians have come forward to surrender. It is the time to strengthen the imperial rule, so everyone is moving to the south to surrender the governor. The government had no objection.

Zhuge Liang took in everyone's expressions and saw that the time was ripe, so he said: "In this case, De'ang's Nijiang Governor's Mansion should be moved from Pingyi County to Wei County."

"Promise, I will obey Prime Minister Jun's order." Li Hui stood up and responded.

It is about 600 miles from Pingyi County to Wei County. By moving the Nijiang Dudu's Mansion southward, it is already deep into the hinterland of Nanzhong. With the Nijiang Dudu's Mansion controlling the military of Nanzhong, it can change the weak power of the previous imperial rule. It would be difficult for Nanzhong to launch another rebellion on the scale of Yong Kai and others.

"Everyone, as General Zilong said, Nanzhong is a vast territory, with an area of ​​thousands of miles. It is a bit difficult to have only five counties now. I would like to separate two more counties, increase the number of officials, and improve the court's ability to pay attention to Nanzhong.

Dominance. What do you think?" Zhuge Liang raised the most important issue of today's discussion.

"May I ask, Prime Minister, how to divide the two counties again?" Li Hui, as the leader of the officials in Nanzhong, asked without hesitation.

"Master Wei, please tell me." Zhuge Liang turned sideways and looked at the map on the wooden stand and ordered Yang Yi beside him.

Yang Yi stood up and responded, pointed at the whole map of Nanzhong with a wooden stick and said: "Everyone, according to the wishes of Prime Minister Zhuge, Nanzhong plans to divide the southern part of Yuexun County, the eastern part of Yongchang County, and the western part of Yizhou County into Yunnan County.

Exiting Zangqi County, the boundary of Yizhou County to the south of Panshui is Xinggu County.

Yizhou County was also changed to Jianning County, so that Nanzhong became Yuexun, Zhuti, Zanggao, Yongchang, Yunnan, Jianning and Xinggu, a total of seven counties."

Divided into seven counties? Everyone was talking about it when they heard it, and many people had not heard about it before, so they couldn't help but hear it now.

Somewhat stunned.

In fact, most people present had no objections to the addition of two counties. The land of Nanzhong is vast, and the establishment of only five counties in the past would most likely make the region larger. This rebellion by Yong Kai and others may not be without this aspect.

reason.

Nowadays, it is the proper thing for the imperial court to divide local forces with the power of a great victory. The northern generals such as Zhao Yunguan Xing and others are naturally responsible for this. They have no roots here and are sincerely serving the country, so they naturally support this move.

Li Hui and other local scholars in Nanzhong are now wholeheartedly supporting the Han. Although they feel a little uncomfortable with Zhuge Liang's changes, they have no objection.

As for Meng Huo and other powerful men, they had no objection at all under the might of the imperial court and the might of the army.

Therefore, after everyone discussed it, they all agreed. Seeing this, Zhuge Liang smiled and gave Yang Yi a wink to indicate that he should continue.

"Everyone, there is a Lord of Yangfu in Yuexun, and a Lord of Mafu in Zang'an. The Prime Minister of Yongchang was promoted to the post of Prince Cheng and his wife of this county. Lu Kai, the meritorious Cao of Yongchang, was promoted to the post of Governor of Yunnan. The Governor of Jianning was originally transferred from Wang Shiwangfujun.

"Unexpectedly, Prince Wangfu was killed by the barbarians, so the Prime Minister decided that Governor Li should also serve as the prefect of Jianning." Yang Yi announced three more appointments to everyone.

Wang and Lu Kai's persistence in Yongchang not only showed their loyalty to the court, but also showed their extraordinary talents. Promoting them to the rank of prefect was a reward for their great achievements.

As Li Hui's governor's office was about to be moved south to Wei County, it was reasonable for him to concurrently serve as the governor of Jianning. After all, his position as governor of Jiaozhou was just a distant one, and it had little practical significance.

Everyone had no objection to the appointment of these three people. Judging from their qualifications and merits, the three people deserved to serve as the governor of a county. What everyone was concerned about was that both Lu Kai and Li Hui were natives of Nanzhong, and Prime Minister Zhuge gave up.

The appointment of the two of them as prefects of Nanzhong actually reflects the imperial court's trust in the scholars of Nanzhong.

Some astute people have vaguely guessed that after this rebellion, Nan Zhengshi would not only not be discriminated against by the court, but also have the possibility of further improving his political status.

"Could it be that after the rebellion was put down, the people from the south were able to rule the south?" Sergeant Nan present thought in surprise.

In fact, as they thought, Zhuge Liang did intend to improve the status of the Nanzhong scholars in the court in order to win their hearts towards the Han Dynasty.

Seeing that many people were touched, Zhuge Liang said: "The people of Nanzhong are our Han people, and the scholars of Nanzhong are also our elites. The revival of the Han Dynasty cannot be separated from the support of Nanzhong, so the imperial court will not discriminate against Nanzhong."

of the people.”

"Five of the seven counties in Nanzhong have governors. I will carefully select the other two counties to select honest and capable officials to serve in Nanzhong, so as to appease the hearts of the sergeants in Nanzhong."

When everyone heard the words, they all bowed in admiration: "The Prime Minister's love for the people of the South can be seen from heaven and earth, and we must obey it."

"Hmm." Zhuge Liang stroked his beard, then smiled and said: "There are many heroes and heroes in the land of Nanzhong, and we need the help of the southerners in the affairs of the country. I intend to recruit General Meng Huo and other knowledgeable people in Nanzhong

If the nobles come to the court to assist the emperor, then the affairs of the country will be even more powerful and prosperous."

The appointment of Nanzhong scholars as officials in the court further showed Zhuge Liang's intention to improve the status of the Southerners, which would greatly alleviate the alienation between the Southerners and the Shuzhong court.

Zhuge Liang planned to bring Meng Huo and other surrendered generals to serve as officials in the court. Of course, this also meant to reduce their original power.

Meng Huo and others were well aware of this, but not only were their surrendered generals not punished, but they were still able to serve as officials in the court. It was too late for them to rejoice, so how could they have any other thoughts?
